Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

The next day the sky was nice and the sun came out early in the morning. The bright sunshine took away some of the early spring chill, and the warm feeling on my body made me feel even more cheerful.

The job of a county yamen runner was more popular than Gu Wenxuan had imagined.

In the excited words of his cousin Gu Yangwang, this is like becoming a police officer. With a police officer in the family, his family will no longer be bullied in the future!
As for whether there is an imperial examination or not, it is not important. Not to mention whether there is a potential scholar in the family. Even if there is, when the family is divided later, the child will not be adopted as an heir.

In a word, in short, there are always more solutions than problems. Moreover, if the job is done well, there are many cases where the father can no longer do it, and the son can take over.

Who would dislike a job that pays well every month and is prestigious? For his cousin, he doesn't even know whether his son's job is a golden rice bowl as long as it doesn't change the status of his household registration.

The group finally met up in the outer courtyard of Yuyuan Garden. After bidding farewell to Gu Wenhua, his father Gu Yangwang and others who kept thanking them, they got on the carriages one by one and headed for Qingyang County.

Perhaps the influence of the court session at the county government yesterday was too great. Even now, even though it was almost noon, I could still hear a lot of people talking while waiting to enter the city at the city gate.

Some were cursing the former County Lieutenant Huang who was escorted out of Qingyang County as soon as the case was closed yesterday; some were praising the current official as a fair judge; there were all kinds of comments.

There is only one difference. Whether it is the road from the south of the city to the county government office or the street in front of the county government office leading to the prison, the legendary garbage thrown away by many people yesterday is no longer there.

Gu Wenxuan did not show up to handle the employment procedures for Ma Dazhuang and Gu Wenhua. He asked Zhiming to accompany them to go in through the main gate of the county government office to find Mr. Qian. He and Gu Erlang then rode in a carriage and split into two groups.

The next time he saw his senior brother Qian Huaizhi, who had a beautiful wife, was in the official residence in the backyard of the county government office. It was almost lunchtime.

Of course, the so-called "hundred miles of red makeup" is still an exaggeration. Even for the Crown Princess's dowry, the regulations of this dynasty could not exceed two hundred loads.

The other party was because the huge dowry team was circling Luoyang City according to custom, and the dowry at the back had not yet been carried out. On the way, an angel suddenly came to the Qian Mansion with the emperor's decree and reward. The people in the front were already in a hurry to carry the dowry into the Qian Mansion, and it was not convenient to interrupt the procession temporarily, so the dowry team was inadvertently lengthened.

That’s why there’s the saying of “a hundred miles of red makeup”, but the dowry was indeed quite large. It is said that it was difficult to exceed the regulations at that time, so only 108 loads were set, and it was so full that you couldn’t even fit your fingers in.

It can be seen how generous the dowry was, but it is impossible to say that his wife's dowry was half more. The wealth of a wealthy family accumulated over hundreds of years, even if it was just something returned, is not comparable to that of an imperial merchant.

Especially the dowry and precious relics of his wife's master's mother. For some unknown reason, all the belongings from her natal family and husband's family were confiscated. However, only the belongings of this princess were kept in the house in the capital.

And his husband is very rude.

In addition to helping his niece to get back the house and the things sealed inside, he also gave his niece all the rewards that the emperor bestowed upon his eldest sister's descendants when he posthumously conferred the title on her.

It seemed that there were no boxes of silver bills piled up on the dowry list for his wife, but many of the treasures her husband gave were treasures that could not be measured by gold or silver.

This is probably one of the reasons why the master asked him and his wife to go to the capital in two years. It was really too much to ask of them. They would probably get their knees swollen from kneeling in the palace to express their gratitude.

The official residence in the backyard of the county government.

Qingyang County is quite a large county.

The county government office was not very small, and the official residence was of a decent size, but it was divided into rooms for the county magistrate, chief clerk, registrar, and legal advisor to live in, so the yard left for the county magistrate's family was small.

Of course, no matter how small, as the parent official of a county, the county magistrate has the highest position, and the largest set of small two-story official residence is still his, and no one can take it away. However, the county magistrate's wife has not arrived yet. When the county magistrate's wife arrives with her housekeeper and servants, it goes without saying that she will definitely buy a big house near the county government office.

In front of the study corridor in the front yard of the county magistrate's courtyard in the back yard of the county government office, Sun Huaizhi was not wearing his official robes, perhaps because it was almost time for lunch or because he was not handling official business in front.

Gu Wenxuan saw that his senior brother was still wearing the same sky-blue brocade robe as when they first met on the day he arrived, but the embroidery patterns on the robe were different.

Before, the brocade robe was embroidered with cloud patterns, but today it was embroidered with bamboo. Under the sunlight, the bamboo on the brocade robe shone as dazzlingly as the jade crown on her head.

This low-key yet luxurious outfit, coupled with a gentle smile, makes him look like a handsome young man, and he actually looks four or five years younger than his actual age.

He is almost thirty years old, but looks about the same age as him, otherwise how could he have been so foolish as to think that this was a landlord's stupid son when they first met?

"What a rare guest, my eleventh brother. You are harder to invite than our eldest brother. I thought I had to go and invite you in person, but you only came once..."

The first time we met was strange, the second time we met was familiar, and the third time we met was a farewell. We really treated each other as relatives.

Seeing that Qian Huaizhi had none of the calm and composed demeanor of a parent official, and was walking towards him with an unrestrained and uninhibited manner, waving his hand casually, Gu Wenxuan just wanted to pretend that he didn't know him.

He quickly walked in front of Gu Erlang, clenched his fist and pointed it at the fist extended by Qian Huaizhi, and whispered back to him - We are literati, literati.

There is nothing we can do.

I don’t know if it was because the master and his fellow apprentices set a bad example, but the brothers and sisters from Uncle Cheng’s family, as well, no longer like to perform scholar etiquette once they get familiar with each other.

They acted as if they were afraid that someone didn't know that the sons of these big bosses were both talented in literature and martial arts. Whenever they met, they would either hit each other's shoulders or chest.

Sin ah.

He is a county official after all, but it is disrespectful for him to touch people in public.

After introducing Gu Erlang to Qian Huaizhi, Gu Wenxuan did not stop and walked towards the direction where Qian Huaizhi had been standing before without any courtesy.

Generally speaking, in most houses nowadays, due to the theory of Feng Shui, the study room in the outer courtyard is usually set in a fixed location. The only difference is the size.

As expected.

He hadn't even approached the front row of houses when a servant came to lead the way. What was even worse was that even the cotton curtain in front of the study was embroidered with the same bamboo pattern.

"...Too familiar. He and the eldest brother are equally matched. You'll know the difference when you meet the eldest brother. Eleven, does that look familiar?"

You've been so busy, why are you staring at me while chatting with my eldest brother? Gu Wenxuan couldn't help but laugh and turned around, "Forgive my poor eyesight, how can it be like that?"

“It still doesn’t look like it?” Qian Huaizhi’s face straightened, and he glared at Gu Wenxuan with a look of “rotten wood cannot be carved”. He walked closer and “kindly” reminded, “The plate of asparagus fern in the study of my uncle was damaged by you guys.” (End of this chapter)
