Ji Fu

There was a plaque hanging high, a big red door, but it was not as big as expected, Pei Ziyun asked: "This is the Ji Mansion?"

The vendor selling sugar gourds smiled: "Juren, you are from other places and don't understand the rules of the capital." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What do you mean by that?" Pei Ziyun asked with interest.

"This Beijing official, except for the lord who has a fixed mansion and the prime minister who is given by the emperor, the houses of other Beijing officials have to be rented, why rent them?"

"Unless you are an old Beijinger, or you won't be a Beijing official for a long time, right?"

"Not only will the Beijing official not be long, but he will also be promoted, and every time he is promoted, he has to relocate!"

"I know adults this season, I lived in Chunshu Hutong and rented four rooms, then went to the small cross-courtyard of Guozi Lane, and then moved to Cotton Hutong, and now I have moved here, there are 28 rooms and a garden. ”

"The official is big, the population is large, and the pomp is high, how can you not move, so it is not cost-effective to buy, and you really can't be promoted to an official for a lifetime if you don't move. ”

Pei Ziyun listened with relish, and praised: "Be particular, give it to you, don't go, wait for me to come out, you will show me the way again, and the reward is indispensable!"

As he spoke, he threw away a piece of broken silver, what a poisonous eye this hawker selling sugar gourds is, this is obviously cut silver with a slightly white color, so he knew that it was a high-grade official silver, one or two heavy, and hurriedly smiled: "Okay, the son just go in." ”

Pei Ziyun stepped forward and knocked on the door, a servant opened the door, and Pei Ziyun handed the letter.

Before leaving, the governor had explained that Ji Shilang of the household department was a cousin, although he had more than one table, because the two were of the same age, they often played together when they were young, and their relationship was good.

However, originally, these things should be Liao Ge as the main thing, and at this time, Liao Ge was killed, and he had to find it himself.

After a while, the servant came out of the room, led Pei Ziyun through the corridor, and arrived at a courtyard, only then did he stop and bow: "The master is already waiting in the courtyard." ”

Pei Ziyun was secretly speechless, this Ji Mansion doesn't seem to be very outstanding, the inside is not bad, crossing the moon gate, entering the small courtyard, I saw a middle-aged man with a white face and a slight beard, a kind face, and a slightly fat figure sitting next to the stone table under the rattan trellis in the Zhao Courtyard, wearing a brocade robe, looking at a wild flower on the wall and tasting tea, it must be Ji Benhan.

Pei Ziyun stepped forward and saluted: "Raise people Pei Ziyun, meet Master Ji." ”

This person arranged the residence very idyllicly, and made a rattan trellis in the courtyard, the vines on the shelf were half green and not yellow, wilting and drooping, and the stone table was carved with complex patterns, listening to Pei Ziyun's words, Ji Benhan withdrew the red flower in his eyes, and the cup in his hand was still holding, as if he had only found that there were people in the courtyard at this time.

Ji Shilang put down the teacup slowly, and looked at Pei Ziyun with a pleasant face: "Oh, you are the one who holds my brother's letter, right? Since it was recommended by my brother, you are your own person, so you don't need to be polite." ”

Pei Ziyun said: "Thank you, sir."

After speaking, he took something out of his sleeve and presented it with both hands: "The official document is here, please take a look at it." ”

Ji Shilang stretched out his hand to look at it a little casually, and said: "It turned out that it was Songyun Dao's request for sealing, this matter is neither big nor small, my brother recommended you to come, and he took a fancy to you and ...... Hey, why are you the only one, what's the difference?"

Ji Shilang flipped through the official document and asked, of course, there is a tolerance in the correspondence of the official document, although it is half of his own person, it is not in accordance with the rules, and it is written that there is a positive difference.

Pei Ziyun's expression was slightly gloomy, revealing a wry smile: "My lord, I can't hide it, we are a group of four people, but I didn't expect to encounter a group of crazy gangsters on the way, openly attacking the court officials, just sent Lord Liao Ge and the two box soldiers were unfortunately killed, only the students escaped, presumably the state government will submit this matter to the official document in the near future."

Pei Zi said, just sighing secretly, not wanting to leak secrets once, this trip to the capital has become a killing trip.

Ji Shilang looked surprised and put down the cup: "There is such a thing?"

Pei Ziyun sighed: "It's true." ”

Ji Shilang's face sank, and he slapped the table and was furious: "These thieves dare to attack officials." ”

"Pei Ziyun, Pei Ziyun ......" Ji Benhan read softly a few times, and suddenly remembered something, "You are the Pei Ziyun who wrote "Will Enter the Wine", Pei Jieyuan?"

Pei Ziyun heard this and arched his hand: "It's the student." ”

As soon as he heard this, Ji Shilang's expression changed, and he said with a smile: "It turns out that you are Pei Ziyun, I saw you just now, and I felt that you were handsome and extraordinary, and it was better to see you than to be famous." ”

Ji Shilang looked at Pei Ziyun and appreciated it very much, Pei Ziyun was originally thin, but now he is handsome and well-equipped, and he is indeed not ordinary.

The waiter was a little enthusiastic, and Pei Ziyun also made a gesture: "The adults are raised, and the students are ashamed." ”

Ji Shilang raised his hand and patted the official document on the table: "Since you came to me first, this official document will simply be handed over to the Ministry of Rites by me on your behalf, and it will be handed over faster than you, what do you think?"

Pei Ziyun looked happy: "This is an adult's lift, thank you." ”

Ji Benhan said again: "I have read this official letter, there is no problem, but you must understand that even if there is a recommendation from the governor, whether you can canonize the true monarch still depends on the meaning of the saint." Well...... this."

Looking at Ji Shilang's expression, Pei Ziyun was stunned for a moment, hesitated a little, and asked, "Please also ask for your advice." ”

Ji Shilang smiled, took the cup, took a sip and said: "The eldest princess and the current saint are siblings of the same mother, Your Majesty has always respected her as a mother, but the eldest princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, and it is not easy to invite her to open the golden mouth." ”

Ji Shilang bit the word "gold" very hard, and when it came to this, Pei Ziyun still didn't understand, so he stepped forward to give a salute: "Thank you, my lord, the student has been taught, and I hope that the adult can introduce him in the future." ”

Ji Shilang smiled: "This is natural. ”

Seeing Ji Shilang's statement, Pei Ziyun retreated.

Out of the door, the vendor selling sugar gourds led the way to an inn.

Along the way, people come and go, the transporters and peddlers are pawns, carrying burdens, driving ox carts, driving donkeys, walking slowly or in front of a certain door, shouting, and there are small servants who come out in response to the sound and take the goods.

Soon I found an inn on the street, and the vendor selling sugar gourds said: "This is the old store of the Shen family, it has always been clean and comfortable." ”

The price is a bit expensive, but Pei Ziyun didn't care about it, and when he entered the room, he asked the vendor who sold sugar gourds about something before he understood.

It is not easy to be an official in Beijing, and the official cannot live with the same people, at least there must be some pomp, and the rent is therefore very expensive, starting with 20 taels of silver throughout the year, and some need 80 taels, which basically accounts for half of the salary of Beijing officials.

Said that corruption also has the right in hand, three years of Qing prefect 100,000 snowflake silver that is in the local power, most of the Beijing officials do not have this right, some filial piety, but according to the hawker who sells sugar gourds, some officials to the fifth grade, in order to maintain decency, had to buy a whole seven boxes of official uniforms, but the crown beads worn are fake.

took the money and rewarded the person and let this person retreat, Pei Ziyun pondered, it seems that further affairs, whether it is this squire or the eldest princess, it is a gift.

This is very wonderful, at the beginning the silver could not be handled, because it was a matter of qualifications, no matter how much silver was not good, but now that the threshold of the system has passed, it is a matter of silver at this point.

How can I get a large sum of money, and I was a little silent when I took the nine hundred silver tickets I was carrying.

Pei Ziyun never felt that money was insufficient, he didn't gamble, he didn't prostitute himself, he didn't pursue meaningless pomp, and these nine hundred taels of silver could make him luxurious for a few years.

But now he has to get a lot of money.

No, I only have a few hundred capital, and I can't get tens of thousands of dollars, and even if I do, I am afraid that I will have to be targeted in a short time, and there will be endless troubles.

Just sighed, I don't know what to do, do you want to be a gentleman on the beam Pei Ziyun thought, and was hesitating when he heard a knock on the door.

"Childe is here, you've ordered all the dishes, and they've been delivered to you. Pei Ziyun listened to this guy's words, just went out, this guy just put the dishes on the table one by one, and there was a plate of golden shortbread on the table, so he asked: "I don't remember ordering this dish." ”

The guy smiled and said: "Childe, this is not just the New Year, our shopkeeper ordered the kitchen to make this golden treasure cake, and presented it to every guest of the inn, and I also wish you all tenants a prosperous and prosperous year and a lot of money." ”

Listening to this guy talking about gold, he had memories like an electric shock, and in the memory of the original owner, there were many treasures, which were later obtained by people and spread widely.

Pei Ziyun had an idea, and smiled: "Yes, yes, these two rewards are for you, even if you borrow auspicious words, you will be more diligent in the future!"

Pei Ziyun threw out a tael of silver as he spoke.

When this guy saw this silver, he smiled happily and said: "Thank you Gongzi reward, Gongzi must be admitted to the Jinshi this year, rich and auspicious, rich and prosperous, and rising step by step." ”

"Also, if you have anything to do, you can ask the villain better than the one who sells sugar gourds. ”

Listening to this guy's words, Pei Ziyun was also pleased: "You go down, this matter is over." ”

This guy went out, Pei Ziyun carefully searched for his memory, in addition to the last Jin Zhu, in fact, the original owner has a lot of memories that can get money, but this society is not a financial society, you have an identity to have money, without an identity, money not only can't be channeled, but can also be killed.

With Pei Ziyun's identity, his family has thousands of acres, and the silver has 10,000 taels to the top, and no matter how much he has, he can't suppress the trouble, and for this reason, Pei Ziyun has never thought about it.

At this time, I searched the past one by one, and there were regrets.

"Or it's far away, it's too late to travel a thousand miles. ”

"Or close, but also very troublesome, the largest is the former dynasty sinking gold, it is said that there are 500,000 taels of gold, all cast into gold bars, but this has to go to sea by boat to salvage, it is too late now, and it is also very attention-grabbing. ”

"Yes, the original owner vaguely remembered that someone went to Beijing to take the exam and rented a house, and as a result, he dug up a hidden gold, with tens of thousands of taels, and later leaked the news and fought a lawsuit with the owner of the house. ”

"Even if it was a lift, he had to spit out most of it to the yamen, and only 20% of it was spread by others. Pei Ziyun had an idea in his heart: "Hehe, I have to have a new year, a new atmosphere, and the wealth is rolling in, rising step by step." ”
