Kiss~

As soon as the cork was pulled out, the sweet smell of wine filled the carriage.

A few fingers of his left hand hooked together, and the cork was drilled into the palm of his hand, and Hong Jiu slowly raised the wine bag, and the angle of his neck was adjusted accordingly.

But just as the amber wine was about to overflow, he suddenly stopped, and mechanically and stiffly pressed the cork back into the sac.

Alas~

Throwing the wine bag into the corner, Hong Jiu poured it on the cushion and sighed silently.

Although he felt that he had done nothing wrong, after sending away the deaf boss and his second son, he still had the urge to get drunk and relieve his sorrows.

But this wasn't the time for him to get drunk.

I don't know how long it took, the surroundings of the carriage gradually became noisy, and the energetic shouting urged Hong Jiu to sit up straight again.

He pulled with his backhand, and out of nowhere, he found a small mirror the size of a palm, holding it in the palm of his hand and adjusting the expression on his face.

It wasn't until the stiffness and decadence completely disappeared, and it wasn't until his face was full of humble and sunny smiles that Hong Jiu put down the mirror with satisfaction and opened the heavy curtains.

Under the rendering of the morning light, the Dali Temple with high walls and vast buildings looks more and more solemn, and even the two lazy servants outside the main gate seem to be endowed with a different color.

Seeing this scene, the depression in Hong Jiu's heart quietly weakened by three points.

It's time to cut the same thing as before!

After all, his future is not in Shanxi Lane, but behind this high wall, in the vast building!

The carriage quickly circled to the east corner gate of Dali Temple, but did not stop, but continued to run to the side gate of the northeast corner - although the daily entry and exit are from the east corner gate, but the place where the officials and officials ordered the Mao was near the side gate of the northeast corner of the morning.

It is said that it is a side gate, but it is actually wider than the east corner gate, because the stables of the officials are also close to the left - yes, you must be a high-ranking official to be eligible to use the stables in the yamen for free.

As for officials like Hong Jiu, even if they have their own carriages, they can only be placed in the privately operated parking lot around Dali Temple.

Without further ado.

said that Hong Jiu got out of the carriage, nodded to the guard without being humble or arrogant, and walked to the southwest corner of the point under the complicated eyes of the two.

When he arrived at the door, he bumped into the two scribes of the right temple head-on, and the two sides greeted each other with a smile, Hong Jiu turned sideways to avoid, and the two scribes also followed sideways to avoid.

After retreating for a long time, it was the two scribes who took the lead.

The scene seemed to be very harmonious.

But the sense of alienation contained in it is overflowing.

After all, Hong Jiu's beggar background is no secret in Dali Temple, not to mention that the officials are ashamed of their company, and even the officials are discriminated against in their hearts.

But Hong Jiu was specially recruited by Sun Shaozong.

No matter how much he rejects it in his heart, there are only a handful of people in this Dali Temple who dare to show Hong Jiu's face.

So every time he faced Hong Jiu, he had such a polite and detached attitude.

Fortunately, Hong Jiu didn't care too much.

Do you think that when he was begging, how many times did he receive a hundred times the cold treatment?

And he believes that one day, those contempt hidden in the bottom of his heart will turn into reverence for him!

With ambition, Hong Jiu pushed the door and walked into the spot, swept into the house at will, and a clear scene came into view.

Four or five scribes were scattered on either side, but in front of the roster in the middle stood alone.

Seeing this, Hong Jiu walked in front of the isolated person without hesitation, bowed down and joked: "Deputy Zhao, you are so angry today." ”

Deputy Zhao returned the salute with a bitter face, took the opportunity to let go of the roster, pointed outside, and walked out silently.

As soon as he left, the scribes who were originally scattered on both sides stepped forward and greeted Hong Jiu.

Hong Jiu returned the salute with a smile, but his mind had already flown to Fang Cai's assistant Zhao.

Speaking of the identity of this Zhao Assistant, there are still some similarities with him - although Zhao Assistant's son is not a beggar, he is a barbarian from Wuxi Prefecture.

Soon after Lord Sun took office last month, he transferred this Zhao Nan, but at that time, he was only a slave of the Sun family, and it was not until the beginning of this month that he became a member of Dali Temple with Hong Jiu.

If you really want to talk about it, Hong Jiu's identity is actually above Zhao's assistant, after all, although he is not in the stream, he can barely be regarded as an official.

But Hong Jiu didn't dare to hold it up in front of Zhao Nan at all - although the identity of a domestic slave was more shackled, in a sense, it also meant a more intimate relationship.

What's more, now Zhao Nan is picketing the style and discipline of Zuo Temple with the newcomer Master Qin, and he has punished a group of slack-off officials in the past few days - it is precisely because of this that others will avoid Zhao Nan when they see him.

I heard that Lord Sun still intends to promote this rectification picket to the entire Dali Temple, and I am afraid that the deterrent power of Zhao Nan will increase a lot.

However, Hong Jiu and this Zhao Nan have some sympathy.

Because Zhao Nan seemed to be signaling to himself that he would wait outside, Hong Jiu perfunctory a few words from those scribes, and hurriedly chased out the point.

Sure enough, after going out, I saw Zhao Nan copying his hands, and he was in the shadow of the gatehouse.

Hong Jiu hurried over in three steps and two steps, and said with his hands: "Assistant Lao Zhao has been waiting for a long time. ”

After a pause, he said tentatively: "But over there, Master Sun, what do you have to entrust?" ”

When he said this, Hong Jiu was excited and frightened.

Excitedly, if Sun Shaozong specially asked Zhao Nan to come over and arrange tasks for him, it would show how much attention he attaches to himself.

What is frightening is that now Zuo Temple is carrying out a picket rectification campaign, which really offends many people, and he doesn't want to get in and get in the same embarrassment as Zhao Nan.

Who knew that Zhao Nan shook his head and said: "It's not that the master has any orders, it's that someone Zhao has some personal matters and wants to ask Assistant Hong for help." ”

Personal?

Hong Jiu was slightly stunned, and asked more and more carefully: "But I don't know what is the matter?" ”

"I don't know if Assistant Hong knows Lord Wang Zhenwang?"

Wang Zhen?

Hong Jiu pondered for a while, and then suddenly said: "But one of the commanders of the personal guard when Lord Sun went south to quell the rebellion?" ”

"Exactly."

Zhao Nan nodded: "Yesterday, Lord Wang's errand was decided, and he was promoted to the 100 households of the Beizhen Fusi Supervision Office - Lord Wang is going to hold a banquet at home today to celebrate, and Zhao is also invited, but it is just ......"

"Just how?"

"It's just that Zhao spends money lavishly on weekdays, and he is really shy in his pocket, and he can't even afford a gift that can be put on the table."

Zhao Nan spread his hands and looked at Hong Jiu with burning eyes at the same time, as if he was expecting Hong Jiu to give generously.

However, others may not have inquired clearly, but Hong Jiu knew that Zhao Jinnan used to be a businessman, and he was the most calculating, if he said that he spent all his savings lavishly, Hong Jiu would never believe it.

Therefore, Zhao Nan put on this face, obviously to blame himself!

Damn brute!

It's really rampant!

I still had a good impression of him at the beginning.

Hong Jiu scolded in his heart, but he laughed in his mouth: "What should I do, it's just a little money, and it's worth asking for help from Deputy Zhao?" Before noon, I asked people to offer a hundred taels of silver, I don't know if it is enough? ”

Zhao Nan also laughed: "Assistant Hong is really fast!" ”

But in an instant, he restrained his smile again, and said indifferently: "But this silver is exempt, Assistant Hong only needs to pick up the gifts, and go with me to Lord Wang in the evening to congratulate him." ”

Go to Wang Zhen's Mansion to congratulate?

Hong Jiu's heart suddenly turned from anger to joy.

It turns out that this barbarian is not trying to extort money, but to help Lao Tzu expand his contacts!

Although the 100 households of the supervision office are responsible for internal supervision, they can be regarded as real power in the Fusi of Beizhen and even the entire Zhou officialdom.

can have a relationship with him, don't say that it is a new officialdom like Hong Jiu, even if it is a Beijing official of five or six grades, I am afraid that he will rush to it.

Of course, this is thanks to Sun Shaozong.

If it weren't for the fact that they were all leaning against his big tree, with Hong Jiu's identity, even if someone introduced them, I am afraid that they would not be able to enter the eyes of Wang Baihu.

said that Hong Jiu was too busy to respond, and carefully inquired about Wang Zhen's preferences, so he couldn't rush out immediately and put the two gifts in order - in addition to buying one for Zhao Nan, he also wanted to give one himself.

Who would have thought that before he could leave, a servant flew over, and shouted from afar: "Sun Shaoqing was ordered to enter the palace to meet him, and he quickly took it out!" ”

With just this sentence, Hong Jiu and Zhao Nan couldn't care about anything else, they looked at each other in shock, they were both well-informed masters, and naturally knew that Sun Shaozong accompanied the prince to Wangjianglou to watch the play last night.

The emperor sent someone to summon him early this morning, but it wasn't last night......
