In the evening of the same day, Fang Zi'an invited Qian Kang and Zhao Changlin, and the three brothers had a drink and a good chat. Because early the next morning, Zhao Changlin was going to leave the capital and go to Chao County, north of the Yangtze River, to take office as the county commander, which could be regarded as Fang Zi's banquet for Zhao Changlin's practice.

When the banquet was over, Fang Zi'an asked Chunni to take out a package and hand it to Zhao Changlin, Zhao Changlin opened it and saw that it was fifty taels of broken silver and three hundred taels of silver tickets. Zhao Changlin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How can this be, how can I accept your money." ”

Fang Zi'an smiled and said, "Brother Changlin, if you go to Beijing as an official, I have nothing to give you." You take this money with you, and you will make a coil on the road. When you go to office, you have to spend a lot of money. You said that you should take your parents to live, and if there are many people, you will spend a lot of money. This bit of silver is a little bit of the heart of my husband and wife, please be sure to accept it. ”

Zhao Changlin waved his hand and said, "Thank you two couples, but I can't stand it." I have a fortune to support my parents and settle them properly. ”

Chunni said softly, "Uncle Zhao, take it." I heard Zi'an talk about what happened when you were reading. At that time, Zi'an's life was difficult, and you and Uncle Qian took care of him a lot and helped him many times. Of course, this silver does not mean repaying kindness, and the affection between your brothers cannot be measured by silver. But that's what we want. If you don't just adopt your parents, you have to marry a wife, and it costs money. Take it, otherwise Zi'an will be unhappy. ”

Zhao Changlin looked at Fang Zi'an hesitantly, and Fang Zi'an said, "You also heard it, if you don't accept it, I'm not happy." You are also not young, and now that you have a fame, you also want to start a family. Chunni was more thoughtful than I was. Take it, don't shirk it. ”

Qian Kang took the package beside him, stuffed it into Zhao Changlin's hand, and said, "That's how you grind and chirp." I really don't feel at ease when you have the temperament to be an official. I don't have to be bullied anymore. Besides, Brother Zi'an and his wife are sincere, if you don't want to be hypocritical, I will take the wine and drink it. ”

Zhao Changlin bowed down and thanked him. In fact, he needs this silver very much, and his family background is actually average, he has spent a lot of silver on studying for so many years, and his family is also very difficult. Now that he is finally an official, he thinks that he should repay his father's kindness, but his little money is very meager, and there are many unexpected expenses when he becomes an official, which already makes him worried. This silver can be regarded as a rescue.

"Brother Changlin, I will also go to the Yamen tomorrow to take office, and I won't send you out of the city tomorrow morning. In short, no matter the ends of the world, brotherhood is in the heart. You should be a good official and do more practical things for the people of Chao County. When you have time, either Brother Qian and I will go to find you to get together, or you will come to the capital. I believe that the next time we meet, our brotherhood will not be alienated by this separation. As the saying goes, if the sea has a confidant and the end of the world is next to each other, I hope that Brother Changlin will cherish it. When sending Zhao Changlin to the door, Fang Zi'an arched his hand.

Zhao Changlin's eyes were moist, and he bowed to the ground, "Brother Zi'an is also cherished." Changlin took his leave. ”

Qian Kang smiled on the side, "Let's go, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, tomorrow, I will send Changlin out of the city, Brother Zi'an, you can rest by yourself." Tomorrow you have to take office, you have to be more energetic, but don't be sleepy. I also said goodbye with Changlin. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled and nodded, and after watching Qian Kang and Zhao Changlin disappear into the night, he closed the door and returned to the back house to take a hot shower and fall asleep on the bed.

The next morning, Fang Zi'an got up early, and after washing, Chunni had already set up breakfast, but it was a big bowl of spicy egg Yangchun noodles.

"My husband took office today, and I want to

Those who are full of food and spirit go to be officials. Chunni specially made Yangchun noodles for her husband, and used spicy seeds from Fanguo, and her husband must love to eat them. Chunni laughed.

Fang Zi'an was overjoyed and said, "I haven't eaten the Yangchun noodles you made for a long time." Could it be that you are reminding me that even if I become an official, I can't forget what I am?"

Chunni smiled, "Who has so much heart and eyes for you, eat it while it's hot, I'll go get you an official uniform." I ironed it last night, but I was afraid that it would be crumpled, so I didn't dare to fold it up and hang it in the side room to smoke incense. ”

Fang Zi'an nodded in thanks, sat down and began to eat noodles. I used the foreign spicy seeds imported from Fanguo, but the taste was much more authentic than the wild spicy seeds in the mountains and fields that I used before. After eating noodles and wiping her head and face, Chunni took a comb to comb Fang Zi'an's hair carefully, and waited for Fang Zi'an to put on her official uniform and put on Wusha. When Fang Zi'an stood up, he found that Chunni looked at her with a strange look.

"What's the matter, what's the matter, I'm in a daze, my official uniform is very awkward, isn't it," Fang Zi'an said with a smile.

Chunni shook her head and said, "No, it fits and is very stylish." I just felt like I was in a dream. My Zhang Chunni's husband is already an official, what virtue have I accumulated in my life?"

Fang Zi'an laughed, hugged Chunni and kissed Zi'er on the small mouth and said, "In this case, you have to know how to be grateful, be obedient at night, don't twist your hands and feet, understand?"

Chunni took a sip, her face flushed. She naturally knew what her husband was talking about. Since marrying Fang Zi'an, Chunni didn't expect that there would be so many tricks in the house. Every time Fang Zi'an tossed and tossed and enjoyed it, Chunni was ashamed to death. Some postures and actions are too shameful and completely beyond Chunni's psychological boundaries, so they often refuse to cooperate. Fang Zi'an complained about this matter.

"Go ahead, don't crumple your clothes. On your first day in office, don't make jokes. Chunni pushed Fang Zi away and said.

Fang Zi'an laughed, walked out of the door, and walked to the front house. The housekeeper Lao Huang had already prepared the horse, and even the miscellaneous horse was washed cleanly, which showed Lao Huang's attention. Fang Zi'an led the horse out, got on the horse and turned to the street, and trotted away.

The Yamen of Lin'an City is located in Qingbo Gate, adjacent to the Yamen Office District of Lin'an Prefecture in the east, and the southwest of Lin'an City in the west. It sounds like a good location, but in fact, this is the embarrassment of the defense army.

The defense army belongs to the forbidden army, but it cannot be stationed in the Southwest Great Sect. It does not belong to the jurisdiction of the Lin'an Mansion, so it cannot be listed in the district of the Governor's Office, and it is a character that the grandmother does not love and the uncle does not love.

When the sun was shining, Fang Zi'an rode lightly to the slightly dilapidated Yamen of the Defense Army. After dismounting at the door, Fang Zi'an walked up the steps slowly, looking up at the gray plaque on the door and the gatehouse covered with green vines, his brows furrowed slightly.

The door was open, and Fang Zi'an led the horse through the hidden gate to the courtyard. The yard was also very spacious, and a few finches pecked on the ground, and when they saw someone coming, they flew up to the eaves and chirped non-stop.

Fang Zi'an tied his horse to a small tree in the corner of the wall and walked slowly towards the main hall of the black and dark yamen. When I arrived at the entrance of the main hall, I happened to collide head-on with a person who came out of it. The man was holding a broom, with gray hair and a rickety figure, but he was wearing a coat with a fire character written on it, and he seemed to be a veteran of the defense army.

"Oops, it scared the hell out of me

, Who, why did you come so early This is the sun hitting the west and coming out" The old soldier suddenly saw a person standing at the door, and he was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and patted his chest and complained.

"This old gentleman is polite, is this the military yamen of Lin'an Fangyu" Fang Zi'an smiled with a smile.

The veteran saw Fang Zi'an's appearance clearly, looked at Fang Zi'an's dress suspiciously, and said in surprise, "You are"

"Below Zi'an. The new commander of the Lin'an Defense Army. Fang Zi'an said with a smile.

"Oh, you're the new master, so young. Yesterday I heard that there was going to be a new master, and today is here. Oh, Lord Fang is good. The little Wang Jin is a miscellaneous servant who sprinkles and sweeps in the yamen. The veteran hurriedly saluted and smiled.

Fang Zi'an smiled: "It turned out to be Uncle Wang." ”

"Oh, don't dare, don't dare. Please come in, the villain will make tea for Lord Fang. Lord Fang, please come in and sit down. The old handyman was busy.

Fang Zi'an walked inside, the light in the lobby was a little dim, and there were some old tables, chairs, cabinets, etc. There is a statue of a dragon king hanging on the wall of the central hall, and incense is actually lit on the incense table below. Other than that, there was nothing in the lobby.

"Lord Fang, please take a seat." The old handyman smiled and gave up his seat to Fang Zi'an, and then went to the side room to make tea, and said, "Please use tea, this tea is not good, and I hope that the adults will take care of it." ”

Fang Zi'an waved his hand and said, "Why is no one here, it's past the hour." What about the Guardian Officer, the soldiers of the Defense, and the others."

The old handyman smiled, "It's still early, it's not more than half of the hour, and they will all come after a while." It's not that early in our day. ”

Fang Zi'an nodded slightly, the old handyman looked at Fang Zi'an for a few moments, and suddenly leaned closer and whispered, "Did Lord Fang commit something, did you offend someone?"

Fang Zi'an was stunned for a moment, looked up and said, "What do you mean?"

The old handyman smiled embarrassedly, "It's a small one, a small one." Lord Fang, don't care. ”

Fang Zi'an frowned and thought about it, and immediately understood what the old soldier meant. As Shi Hao said yesterday, this place must not be simple. When the veteran asked, he obviously felt that he had committed a crime, so he was relegated here to be the master. Through his questioning, it has been proved from the side that what Shi Hao said is true.

"I didn't do anything. I am a new science and technology jinshi, and I have just been conferred an officer. Fang Zi'an said.

The old handyman was stunned, and looked at Fang Zi'an's face with a hint of pity, as if he felt very pity.

"It turned out to be a new science and technology scholar, and he was actually a reader. That's a little haha, some that. I'm still an adult, and I came from the military. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "How can you talk and slurp, you seem to want to speak and stop." Is there anything inconvenient to say, how to read people, and how to be born in the army?"

The veteran Wang Jin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, the villain doesn't have anything to say, and that's what the villain says." Lord Fang, please sit down for a while, the villain's yard has not been sprinkled and swept yet, and he has to go to work. If an adult has any command, he is called a villain. The villain is right in the yard. The villain went to get busy. ”

Fang Zi'an wanted to pull him to ask a few more words, but after thinking about it, he just thought about it. He only nodded and smiled, "Please get some water for my horses to drink, and the one tied to the corner of the wall is it." ”

The old handyman answered and went out. Soon there was the sound of brooms sweeping the floor. div
