Chapter 9 Gains and Losses
Yang Muyun was taken aback when he heard this, but fortunately, he reacted quickly, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Little ...... Bow down and thank you. ”
He Qixiu's eyes swept over him, nodded slightly, and said in his heart: "It's still a reader who reacts quickly." He smiled and helped her up: "Yang Xiaoqi doesn't have to be polite, please get up." ”
Pointing to the wooden plate on the stone table, he said: "From now on, you are the military attache of the imperial court from the seventh grade, the little flag officer of the Jinyi Guard, this is your official uniform, this is the sabre, this is your waist card, Fan Meng, who fought with you last night, is now your subordinate, and his subordinates are also handed over to you to bring." An Ruofu An Zongqi is your immediate boss, and you can go directly to him if you have anything. I will report your letter of appointment to the Yamen of the Fusi of Jinyi Weinan Town, and the specific appointment document will be issued soon. ”
Every time He Qixiu finished speaking, Yang Muyun bowed down and responded: "Yes!" ”
He Qixiu looked at him for a moment and said, "Your monthly income is now seven stone rice, and someone will give it to your home at the end of each month." ”
Yang Muyun asked, "My lord, what do you need to do specifically?" ”
He Qixiu smiled faintly: "The personnel of Quqi Lane will be withdrawn, you still go to your house on weekdays to learn and be your showman, but you must often go to the residence of the person in Quqi Lane to take a look, and report to General An immediately if there is any situation," his eyes inadvertently glanced at his face, "It won't make you feel embarrassed to catch a person who has taught you every day for three years, right?" ”
Yang Muyun said without thinking: "It is not an honor to be able to serve the imperial court. Can...... But if he doesn't show up, what should he do? ”
He Qixiu's eyes flashed with a different color, and he said jokingly: "Then you just keep an eye on it!" ”
Yang Muyun bowed and said, "Yes, I respectfully respect the orders of my lord." He glanced up at Master He, and stopped talking.
When He Qixiu saw it, he said, "What else do you have to say?" Just say it, don't be afraid. ”
Yang Muyun hesitated: "Humble position...... If the reputation of the lowly position is not enough, can I continue to take the examination for people and enter the Jinshi? ”
He Qixiu smiled: "It seems that Yang Xiaoqi is still willing to be a Wenchen who can enter the palace and listen, the grade of Jinyiwei is not high, even if he is the commander of the envoy, it is only the third grade." But my Jinyiwei has a lot of authority, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all within the scope of our investigation, in a word, except for the emperor, there is no one we can't do, even if it is an old Yipin Pavilion, I am afraid of the summons of a small lieutenant of Jinyiwei. Even if you are admitted to the top prize, you can only teach a small Hanlin Academy six-grade editor, and whether you can survive it depends on your creation. You are now in the official position of the seventh grade, do you still want to make this little false name? ”
Seeing that Yang Muyun didn't speak, he said: "Okay, if you are aspiring to this, the official will not stop you, but once you have entered the Jinyi Guard, this identity will follow you for the rest of your life." It is better for you to be a feudal official and enter the cabinet
Worship the prime minister, you are all Jinyiwei's people. You are loyal to the court, even if someone is difficult with you, the Jinyi guard will also defend you. If you have bad intentions, even if the court law can't handle you, the edict of Jinyiwei will not let you go. ”
Yang Muyun responded: "The humble duty understands, the humble duty remembers, and the humble duty thanks the adult." Then he said slowly: "My lord, my father-in-law, who is lowly, is confused, and if he does something against the emperor's order, please ask your lord to ......."
He Qixiu interrupted him and said: "There is no need to worry about this matter, Lord Qincha has selected the show girl in Yangzhou, and now she is leaving for Beijing, you can rest assured." ”
A five-entry courtyard with a garden next to Fuxue is very lively today, many people come in and out, move things, clean the courtyard, it is really more lively than the New Year.
"Hey, you light, can you afford to pay for it?"
“......”
"You two, come here. Clean up the weeds here. ”
“......”
"And you, what are you doing in a daze? Why don't you wipe the door clean?
“......”
In the courtyard, a beautiful girl wearing a pink skirt and a red bibi is directing a group of maids to carry home decorations and tidy up the yard.
"Yo, I said who this is! Su Yue, you are getting more and more beautiful and capable! ”
A graceful and elegant young woman in an aqua blue pleated dress came in from outside the gate and said with a smile. She was followed by a maid in a pale yellow narrow-sleeved dress, about fourteen or fifteen years old, and her appearance was very beautiful and moving.
Su Yue immediately came up to salute: "The maid has seen Madame." ”
It was Mrs. Zhou and her personal maid Ning Xin who came in, and Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "Seeing that you are strangely busy, this ceremony will be waived." Seeing Su Yue's hair combed into a peach heart shape and pulled into a bun, she was completely dressed as a young woman, her eyes couldn't help but roll, and she smiled: "Su Yue, your identity has become fast enough, and those who don't know think that the Zhou family married you off." Su Yue's face changed, and her voice trembled a little: "Madam, the maid and the master have not violated the rules, right...... It was the young lady who instructed the slave to dress up like this. Mrs. Zhou didn't want to hear her explain: "It's all called the master, what are you pretentious, what about Mengnan?" Where is she? Su Yue hurriedly said: "Miss is doing accounts in the study, and the maid will show you the way." Mrs. Zhou walked briskly, without looking back, only lost a hard sentence: "No need, the courtyard of the Zhou family, I don't know the way, you are busy with yours!" ”
The five-entry compound is divided into left and right, and the three entrances on the left are the places of residence, and the main hall, wing room, and ear room are all here, which is the place where the houses are concentrated. The two entrances on the right are gardens, which are places to enjoy playing, the front one occupies a large area, there are rockery pools, viewing pavilions, and the back one enters a smaller garden, as well as a few houses and corner pavilions.
Mrs. Zhou took Ning Xin through a hanging flower door, and from the corner gate of the second courtyard, she followed the verandah to the innermost hall, where the study was on the left and the bedroom on the right. Mrs. Zhou said to Ning Xin, "You stay outside." Then he entered the study, and there was a chessboard and two pineapple stools on the south wall at the entrance of the study, and in the corner of the wall was a bookcase full of books. There is a fish tank on the right side of the door, and the fish inside are happily spitting bubbles. On the north side against the wall is a large desk, with freshly picked flowers in blue and white porcelain vases on both sides of the desk. Zhou Mengnan sat on the armchair next to the desk, wearing a light purple gown, and was holding an account book to look through carefully.
Mrs. Zhou walked behind her lightly, and was about to speak, when she heard Zhou Mengnan say: "Tell you to go outside and arrange someone to tidy up the yard, and what are you doing here, if I find out......" When I looked up and saw that it was my mother, I couldn't help but be stunned, put down the account book, got up and saluted: "Mother, why are you here?" Mrs. Zhou smiled: "Can't I come to see my daughter?" Zhou Mengnan helped her mother to sit down on a chair and said with a smile: "Tomorrow I will go back to see you and my father with my father-in-law, and I will use your eyes to run again?" Mrs. Zhou held her daughter's hand and said, "Child, you just passed the door, my mother doesn't worry about you, I want to see if you are okay?" ”
"Mother, Xianggong's family is very good to their daughter, so you can put your heart in your belly!"
"Where's your parents-in-law? Didn't move with you? ”
"They are used to one place and are reluctant to move elsewhere, so I have arranged for four people to take care of them."
"Well, what about your husband? You won't go with other women, will you? Mrs. Zhou's tone was a little wrong.
"Mother, what do you say? How can you arrange your son-in-law like this? ”
"Yo, if you really have a father-in-law, you don't want a mother, and you started to protect him before I said anything. What's going on with Su Yue's dress? You just got married yesterday! Could it be that she worships the world with you, and the cave house she enters? ”
"Mother, you think too much, I made Su Yue dress up like this."
"Meng Nan, the makeup of my daughter's family is not child's play, Su Yue is your maid, why do I think you are like a maid in this matter, she has become the master."
"Mother......" Zhou Mengnan stomped her feet, leaned into her mother's ear and whispered about last night's events.
Mrs. Zhou's face regained calm, and she glanced up at her daughter, with a smile in her eyes: "Really? ”
Zhou Mengnan nodded: "After all, Su Yue and I slept in Xianggong's room, although Xianggong is not in the room, but ......"
"You don't have to explain, I understand." Mrs. Zhou sighed: "I often say, your father is eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, if you don't say it clearly, I think your father-in-law's food is more ugly than your father, and before he waits for the stove, he even brings the pot and bowl together?" ”
Seeing her daughter's embarrassed appearance, Mrs. Zhou said, "Okay, I won't laugh at you, what about your father-in-law?" ”
"He went to school early in the morning, and now it's estimated that it's time to get out of school, by the way, he doesn't know how to move here, I'll let Su Yue ......"
"Come on, Su Yue is so busy that she can't leave the ground, Ning Xin, you go to Fuxue and call your uncle here."
Yang Muyun bowed his head and came out of the small door with a wooden plate, An Ruofu was waiting there, and smiled at him when he saw him come out: "Congratulations to Yang Gongzi, you are also an official now, it is time to call you Yang Xiaoqi." Yang Muyun said respectfully: "Lord Zongqi, please forgive me for not being able to give you a salute." An Ruofu waved his hand, and someone came up to take the wooden plate in Yang Muyun's hand and retreated. An Ruofu instructed: "Put the clothes in the gift box and send them to Yang Xiaoqi's mansion in a while." ”
Yang Muyun gave the salute again, and An Ruofu said: "Yang Xiaoqi, it's better for you to usually dress up in casual clothes, our brocade guards act secretly, and don't wear official clothes and waist knives to show people." Yang Muyun responded: "Yes, my lord." An Ruofu continued: "The errand in Quqi Lane is up to you to watch, and you can do whatever you need to do as usual." If there is anything, I will send someone to inform you, Fan Meng and his subordinates, listen to your dispatch, if you have anything, let Fan Meng come to me. Every time An Ruofu finished speaking, Yang Muyun responded: "Yes!" ”
The sound of the car was sparkling, and the wheels rolled on the bluestone paved road, making a creaking sound. Yang Muyun sat alone in the car, and his mood couldn't calm down for a long time. In the morning, I thought that I might either be arrested or die, but who knew that the summit had turned around, and I actually joined Jinyiwei, and became a dignified court official from the seventh grade, which was really a trick of fate. As his thoughts were surging, he heard Fan Meng, who was driving outside the car, ask, "My lord, where are you going now?" ”
Yang Muyun thought for a moment and ordered: "Go to Fuxue, the car doesn't have to stop at the door of Fuxue, I'll get off at Wenchang Bridge." ”
"Yes, sir."
The carriage stopped at the head of the Wenchang Bridge, Fan Meng helped Yang Muyun get out of the car, Yang Muyun glanced at him: "Brother Fan, I'm tired, I don't know anything about Jinyiwei, so it's up to you to decide the big and small things of this small flag!" Fan Meng bowed and said: "My lord's words are serious, Fan is not effective, and the hundred households have not punished the crime, but still let their subordinates be on errands, and the subordinates are grateful, how can they not do their best to assist the adults." ”
Yang Muyun nodded and asked, "Brother Fan, how many people are there in our little banner?" Fan Meng said respectfully: "If you don't count the adults, plus a total of twelve people, I don't know when the adults will be free, and the subordinates will bring them to pay homage to the adults." Yang Muyun shook his head: "No, you just restrain them, and you don't have to follow me all the time." Everyone just needs to do their own thing. With that, he turned around and went in the direction of Fuxue on the other side of the bridge.
After crossing the bridge, Yang Muyun looked back, Fan Meng was still standing there to see him off, he was slightly surprised in his heart, he didn't know that the law in Jinyi Wei was strict, and his subordinates couldn't have the slightest disrespect for their bosses, otherwise they could be killed immediately.
Before he arrived at the gate of the school, he saw students walking on the road, and some of them who knew him stepped forward to greet him, and said jokingly: "Brother Yang Xian, didn't the professor allow you to take a vacation, you are not at home, what are you doing here?" Others said, "Mrs. Zun has come to the house to look for you, and you still don't take her and go home quickly." Another voice said: "Nonsense, the beauty in the pale yellow shirt is clearly dressed as a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, Brother Yang Xian, what's going on, it won't be your little lover outside, right?" ”...... The voice is gibberish, and the words are getting more and more unbearable.
"Who can it be that someone is looking for me?" Yang Muyun didn't care about arguing with them, so he hurried to the gate of the school. The school has ended, and the students have walked out of the school. At the door, a beautiful girl in a pale yellow narrow sleeved dress was staring at the students who came out of the school, and when she saw that there was no one she was looking for, she stepped forward to ask from time to time. At this time, a student from Fuxue saw Yang Muyun and pointed in his direction. The girl showed a smile like a flower, and her slender waist floated over like a flower. Standing beside him, his slender jade hand was placed on his waist, his beautiful chin was slightly downward, and he gave a blessing, his voice was like a yellow warbler out of the valley, and he was extremely delicate: "Servant Ning Xin, I have seen my uncle." ”
Yang Muyun only felt a burst of floral fragrance on his face, and asked hesitantly: "What are you ......" Ning Xinmei's eyes lowered: "The maid is instructed by Mrs. and Miss to invite my uncle back to the house." ”
"Back home? Why did my mother-in-law come to my house? And it's such a long way from home to home...... Do I have to go to school in the afternoon? Thinking of this, Yang Muyun said: "Miss Ning Xin, I still have something to go to school in the afternoon, so I will go to my sister first, and then go back in the evening, and you go back to explain to my mother-in-law and mother-in-law." After saying that, she was about to turn around, Ning Xinjiao said, "Uncle, the place where you live is not far away, just two steps away." ”
"What? When did I move here? "There are too many strange things happening today, and Yang Muyun's brain can't turn around a little.
