Need for money
Chapter 49
The officials of the Dagan Dynasty were divided into six departments, namely the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry.
Among them, the Ministry of Industry is in charge of engineering, farmland, water conservancy, transportation and other government orders. Zhang Jia used to work in the Ministry of Industry and was in charge of farmland in Luocheng. The memorial, being framed, took off the black hat.
Lin Jingzhi was led by Shi Mo, and after walking for more than half an hour, he finally arrived at Beicheng, where Zhang Jia lived. Most of the people living here were tenant households, and the houses were scattered and intertwined without any planning. , you can turn people away, and there is no stone pavement under your feet. After a while, the hem of Lin Jingzhi's clothes was covered with a layer of floating dust. Ordinary people, these people saw Lin Jingzhi's handsome appearance, extraordinary bearing, and luxurious clothes. When they watched Lin Jingzhi frequently, they also showed a look of admiration.
What made Lin Jingzhi dumbfounded was that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl walked up to him just now. When she saw him, she let out an exclamation, covered her red face, turned around and ran, and she didn't know that she saw that he was too tall. Junyi, shy and anxious, was embarrassed to face it, but was afraid that he would dress luxuriously, be a playboy, and forcefully snatch her home and become a concubine.
Caressing this world's handsome and extraordinary face, Lin Jingzhi guessed that the former was more likely, and only hoped that the girl wouldn't really fall in love with her. For him, it's good that she doesn't think about tea or food, otherwise his crime will be nothing but big.
While thinking about it very badly, he heard a burst of laughter suddenly coming from the side, and turned his head to look, but it turned out that Shi Mo also thought it was funny, and was covering his mouth in joy.
Pretending to be angry and kicking, Lin Jingzhiqiang lowered his face and reprimanded lightly, "What are you laughing at, Mr. Zhang hasn't arrived yet?"
Shi Mo quickly hid to the side, not afraid at all, and replied with a smile on his face: "I didn't smile at anything, I just wondered if there was a flower growing on the face of the second master, otherwise how could I be fascinated by these girls and daughters-in-law? , and that girl just now has peach blossoms on her cheeks, and her heart is rippling."
"Fuck you, why are you full of peach blossoms on your cheeks, and your heart is full of spring? I think you are a big kid, and you want to ask for a wife? Why don't you rush tomorrow, and I will personally go to Xiaocui for you to ask for favor, so that She agrees with you to take a concubine first, what do you think?" Lin Jingzhi smiled unscrupulously.
Shi Mo was very anxious when he heard the words, and immediately put on a flattering face. Xiaocui is his fiancée, and she is not yet fourteen this year, not as good as Sheng. Otherwise, the family would have married him back home long ago. If the second master really told Xiaocui to take a concubine for him, he might turn his face on the spot.
That girl got angry, but it didn't matter who was standing in front of her!
Thinking of this, Shi Mo hurried forward to please Lin Jingzhi, and helped Lin Jingzhi wipe off the hem of his clothes and the floating dust on his shoes, and said with a smile: "Second Master, I was a talkative slave just now, and now I know I'm wrong, you can just do it Alright, forgive me this time."
Lin Jingzhi held back his laughter and just snorted coldly, this servant Mo was clever and cunning, but Xiaocui was definitely his weakness.
Seeing that the master did not answer, Shi Mo broke out in a cold sweat.
Seeing the impatient look on Shi Mo's face, he was about to cry, Lin Jingzhi calmed down, and there was a trace of curiosity in his heart, although this servant Mo was a servant, but he was working by his side, and his status was still very high, If he agrees, it will not be a big deal to marry three or five concubines in the future, but why is he so afraid of Xiao Cui, "Shi Mo, you are the only son in the family, what is it to marry a concubine, why are you so afraid of Xiao Cui?" emerald?"
Shi Mo's face flushed red, he was shy and didn't know how to answer.
"Don't tell me? Well, I'll go talk to Xiao Cui tomorrow and find you a concubine first. Well, there is actually a suitable concubine in Aunt Shuang's yard." Don't bully the little furry boy.
"No, Second Master, please, just let me off this time. In fact, I don't know what's going on. I'm just afraid that she will be unhappy, ignore me, and be afraid of seeing her when she is angry. Looking at it, I feel anxious and uncomfortable." Shi Mo replied with a bitter face.
Puppy love!
If placed in the 21st century, this is definitely puppy love.
Lin Jingzhi understood in an instant that Shi Mo really liked Xiao Cui, but this also showed that Shi Mo was lucky to be engaged to a girl he liked.
Of course, his luck was even better. Not only could he marry Tang Yuxiang, he also had several concubines with their own characteristics. , he still doesn't know what Aunt Yu looks like.
That veil seemed to add a mysterious color to Aunt Yu.
"Okay, second master, I'll spare you just once. Look at your worthless appearance. When you grow up, you must be a strict wife!"
Shi Mo first breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked suspiciously: "Strict wife control? Second Master, what is strict wife control?"
"Cough, it's...it's not very interesting, Mr. Zhang is here?" Lin Jingzhi uttered a modern vocabulary as soon as he spoke.
"It's almost here, I'm going to find someone to inquire about." Shi Mo knew that the master had business to do, so he didn't ask any more questions, and hurried to the side. After asking clearly, he led the way first and led Lin Jingzhi out about 200 meters, and stopped in front of a small courtyard.
This courtyard is very small. Although I didn't go in, I can guess that there are at most four or five wing rooms inside, and they are still very small. The walls of the courtyard are decayed, and there are traces of years of rain washing, and the gate is also very old. With the wind, there was a creaking sound.
Handing the gift he bought to Si Mo, Lin Jingzhi stepped forward and knocked on the door himself, 'bang, bang, bang' three times, neither heavy nor light.
"Who is it?" An old voice came from the small courtyard.
"Excuse me, is Master Zhang Jia Zhang at home?" In order to express his sincerity, Lin Jingzhi didn't ask Shi Mo to answer for him.
An old man in white in the courtyard smiled slightly when he heard the words, he was very satisfied that others called his master Mr. Zhang, so he quickened his pace while walking, pulled the latch, and the door opened.
"May I ask who you are?" The old man Bai saw a handsome young man in luxurious clothes standing in front of the door. He knew that he must have a lot of background, so he quickly put away his smile and showed a respectful attitude.
"Master, is Master Zhang Jiazhang at home? I'm at Lin Jingzhi, I have something to visit." Seeing that the old man was very old, Lin Jingzhi said politely.
"I can't, I can't, the old slave is just a slave, how can I be a noble young master, my master is at home, please come in." The old man Bai has lived for most of his life, and he has never been called a master by a wealthy son. He quickly shook his head again and again, and then said that his master did not go out.
"Hundreds of goodness and filial piety come first. You are an elder, and I am a junior. You deserve it, but I will stand at the door and wait. Please go back and pass it on. If Master Zhang agrees, it will not be too late for me to enter the door. "
The old man Bai hurriedly responded, speeding up his steps as much as possible, and his dim eyes were filled with tears of emotion in an instant.
In the past, he only heard guests call him old man, old slave, old guy, this is the first time he heard the name of uncle.
Before the old man arrived at the door, he saw the door of the central room was opened, and then a middle-aged man in a blue gown came out. This middle-aged man had a square face and bright eyes. As he walked, his back was very straight, and it was obvious that he was a man with a lot of backbone.
"It's good to be filial piety first, and Zhang Jia next. I have met the young master. I don't know what you want to do with Zhang?" Zhang Jia saw that Lin Jingzhi was not only handsome, but also knowledgeable and courteous. With a hint of approval, he cupped his hands and asked.
Lin Jingzhi knew that the conversation with the old man just now must have been overheard by Zhang Jia, so he quickly cupped his hands and saluted, "I'm Xia Lin Jingzhi, I really have something important to discuss today, a little courtesy, please accept it."
Hearing this, Shi Mo quickly picked up the gift with both hands, and handed it to old man Bai.
The old man was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at the master. When Zhang Jia was in office, many people came to give presents, but the master refused to accept them. However, since he left office last year, this was the first time he received a gift.
Zhang Jia had a good impression of Lin Jingzhi, and now that he was no longer an official, he didn't say no, and signaled the old man Bai to put away the gift.
He had heard of Lin Jingzhi's name before. After all, he was able to pass the examination at the age of 14. In the history of the Daqian Dynasty, this was the first one. He quickly gave up and said:
"It turns out that Mr. Lin is coming to the shelter, please come in quickly."
Lin Jingzhi said a few words modestly, and then followed Zhang Jia into the main room. This room was not big. Due to the old and gray window paper, the sunlight could not come in. The light was very dark, and the furniture was also very old. Only one of the rooms had peeled off the paint. The table, and five or six wooden chairs with high legs, it can be seen that Zhang Jia was definitely an upright official in the past, otherwise, even if there is no big development in the land in Los Angeles in recent years, he would not be so impoverished.
Shi Mo is a clever man with good eyesight. After entering the main room, seeing the servant who was not in command, he took two quick steps, picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea, and handed the first cup to Zhang Jia who is the master. The second cup was served to my master.
Zhang Jia's eyes lit up, and he nodded approvingly at Shi Mo. It seems that the Lin Mansion is indeed worthy of being a scholarly family passed down from generation to generation for being able to train the servants so well.
Lin Jingzhi picked up the teacup and took a sip, the mouth was full of bitterness, his tongue twitched instinctively, his brows frowned, he was used to drinking good tea at Lin's house, and he really couldn't drink this rough tea, but he knew that if If Zhang Jia saw it, he would definitely feel a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly said: "Master Zhang, the next time I come here, I have a big request."
"Mr. Lin, Zhang is just a commoner now, and he is no longer an adult, but Zhang is curious. With Zhang's current status, what big things can he help Mr. Lin?" Zhang Jia thought that Lin Jingzhi frowned because of his heart. When something happened, I didn't see that Lin Jingzhi was actually drinking tea. At the same time, a trace of curiosity arose in his heart.
Lin Jingzhi had already seen that Zhang Jia was a clean and honest person and a good official, so he went straight to the point, "Master Zhang, I'm always quick to talk and don't like to go round and round, so I made it clear that I'm looking for Mr. Zhang just to cooperate with Mr. Zhang. Get something big."
Zhang Jia was startled, and asked suspiciously, "What's the big deal?"
"Because of this incident, Mr. Zhang was dismissed from his official position!" As soon as Lin Jingzhi's words fell, Zhang Jia's face changed drastically!
