On November 9th, after more than a month of traveling, Lord Shen's family finally arrived in the capital as scheduled, and on the day of arrival, Lord Shen went to report on his appointment, and Chrysanthemum and his mother went to the new mansion allocated to Lord Shen by the court, and were busy checking the new mansion and settling down the cage and the people.

The Great Jin Dynasty clearly stipulates that all officials above the fifth grade, including the five grades, shall not exceed five rooms in the width of the main hall of their residences, and the depth shall not exceed nine frames, which can be made into an I-shaped hall, built on the top of the mountain, and decorated with hanging fish and grass; For the residences of officials below the sixth rank (including the sixth rank) to the commoners, the main hall can only be three rooms wide and four to five deep, and only the roof of the hanging gable can be used, and no decoration is allowed.

However, the mansion that the Shen family got was obviously beyond the specifications of the six-rank officials, not only the width of the main hall of the residence exceeded three, but also the top of the mountain was built, and the hanging fish, grass and other decorations were used.

waited until the evening, Lord Shen returned drunk from the meal, according to the servant who served him, it was his colleagues in the department who picked him up, and everyone took turns to persuade him to drink, so he drank too much!

Lord Shen was so drunk that he couldn't wake up at all, it was already late at this time, and he refused to call the shots, so Cui had no choice but to order his subordinates to move out of their luggage and fall asleep.

Following

After Lord Shen got up, Cui told him about the situation of the mansion, Lord Shen was shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly got up and looked at the front and back yards, and sure enough, he saw that his mansion exceeded the specifications that a six-grade official should have, so he was scared into a cold sweat, and hurriedly ran to the household department to inquire.

The officials of the household department treated him very politely, and explained with a pleasant face that although the mansions of officials at all levels have certain specifications and regulations, they are not absolute, and sometimes the mansions of the public middle school are not enough, so they can only temporarily live in other mansions, such as the six-grade mansion that Lord Shen should live in, and now there is no public middle school, so he can only let him temporarily live in the house of a fifth-grade official who has been transferred abroad, and let him move there when the six-grade mansion is vacated in the future.

"However, maybe by the time you have an empty house, you will have already been promoted to the fifth grade!" The official of the household department said with a smile and a very kind attitude.

Although Lord Shen has been an official for many years, he has been an official in a small place like Qingxian, so he doesn't understand the rules of the capital.

Chrysanthemum is considered to have lived in the capital, and within a few days, she couldn't stay at home anymore, and ran out all day long, because she had been attracted by the prosperity and richness of the capital, and she was itching and panicking if she didn't go out for a day.

At this time, it is winter, there are no special attractions, but there are many time-honored shops, pastries and fruits, jewelry and fabrics, rouge gouache, as well as gold and silver buildings, chrysanthemums are considered to be long-term knowledge, from morning to night, whether to buy or not, in short, it is an eye addiction.

There are too many good novelties that you can't see in Qingxian on the street, such as: a kind of wooden car driving on the street, this kind of car has two wheels, no need for cattle and horses to drive, just a person sits on it and pedals the pedals, and the chain on the pedals can drive the wheels to rotate and let the car drive, which is really interesting.

Also, there are many men on the street, with a stopper in their mouths, pull the stopper off when they speak, and stuff it back when they don't speak, she secretly asked others, and others told her that the thing is called a cigar, and it is the same thing as the car made of wood, which is invented by Liu Gonggong, which is very popular in the capital, and the children of the powerful in Beijing are fashionable to have a good car and smoke cigars, and those who can't ride or don't have a car, as well as those who can't smoke cigars, will be regarded as ignorant and outdated!

When Chrysanthemum heard about it, she was taken aback, she didn't expect Liu Xi to be so capable and invent something so interesting, it seems that she underestimated him in the past!

She is very fond of this kind of car called a bicycle, although she is not short of a few hundred taels of silver to buy a car, but she is a woman, riding this kind of car will be very uncivilized, although her father and mother spoil her, but will not allow her to do such an immoral thing as cycling.

So, although she liked it, she couldn't buy it, so she had to force down that eager to move......

……

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it's mid-December.

Cai Wei and Nangong Yi had already returned to the capital, and as soon as they came back, Cai Wei was busy investigating who transferred Lord Shen to the capital, and the results of the investigation were exactly the same as she expected, and it was indeed the handiwork of the Liguo Mansion.

However, she has already made an appointment with Nangong Yi and will not interfere with the Liguo Mansion to show goodwill to the Shen family and Chrysanthemum, but if Chrysanthemum is unwilling to marry to the Liguo Mansion, Liguo Gong must not use her power to suppress people and force her to marry Chrysanthemum, otherwise she will make a move.

Because of such an agreement, Cai Wei never saw Chrysanthemum, but kept sending Brother Parrot to stare at her secretly to see what would happen to the Liguo Mansion. However, what surprised her was that after the Chrysanthemum family entered Beijing, more than a month had passed, but the Liguo Mansion had not moved at all, let alone showing goodwill to the Shen family, or even seeing Chrysanthemum.

This is not quite commonsense, since they have traveled thousands of miles to get chrysanthemums into the capital, why do they avoid it? Could it be that you are not satisfied with the chrysanthemum? Don't want daisies anymore? Or is Mo Zili unforgettable for Xiangyun and refuses to marry Chrysanthemum?

In fact, the Liguo Mansion did not summon Chrysanthemum, not as Cai Wei had guessed, but that the people in the mansion were not in the mood to deal with her now.

Not long after the Empress Dowager Mo collapsed, the Duchess of Liguo was immersed in the pain of losing her daughter, and both fell ill, although she was not very sick, but the sick center was annoying, and she was not in the mood to see her at all. And Mo Qingshan and his wife didn't see her because of a more important thing - Mo Zi is sick!

According to the hidden guard flying pigeon hidden next to Mo Zili, on the same day, in order to save the young lady of the Shen family, Li Gongzi jumped off the cliff alone.
