It is said that in ancient times, civil servants also had commuting time, going to work at six or seven o'clock in the morning and leaving work at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, mainly depending on whether it was the spring equinox or the autumn equinox.

At this time, it was the spring equinox, and the time of Shenzheng (about four o'clock in the afternoon) was scattered, and the time was calculated, and the governor An Rongluan greeted him, and he disappeared.

After the experience of Bao Chengen also sorted out the copywriting in his hand, and then slowly sorted out the government office, the coachman was already waiting outside the archway, as the experience of the eighth product, he also had a public house in the office, and there should be a ration of the door, soap, sedan chair and so on.

However, compared with the old and young family, the public housing is still smaller, and many times it is inconvenient, so in addition to the prefect and other official officials, the miscellaneous officials in the government office are all buying and renting houses outside.

Huai'an residence, it is not easy, as a government experience, Bao Chengen's annual silver is only twenty-four taels and two cents, theoretically he is out of the government office, it is difficult to survive in Huai'an City.

-- refers to officials.

But as an official of the imperial court, he is still in an important position in the government office, even if Bao Chengen does not lose his heart and loses his bottom line, his normal income is a few hundred taels a year, and he can survive well in Huai'an Fucheng.

Although this silver is not gray, everyone collects it, and even the patrol can't find fault with the imperial history.

Therefore, Bao Cheng bought a house in Fucheng early, and there are many alleys not far from the government office, close to the Yin market.

At this time, he got into the carriage, since he lived outside the office, it was naturally not good to "use the sedan chair for private use", the carriage was privately prepared, and the coachman was also a distant relative.

Bao has a very clear attitude as an official, he will take what he should take and what he shouldn't take.

The carriage was rounding, with all kinds of shouting, avoiding sedan chairs, and singing, noisy and noisy, and it was the time to disperse, and the officials and officials rushed home.

As the place of the city, the heavy place of transportation, the net worth of the public servants of the Huai'an Prefecture is still very fat, basically every economic service, economic officials, there are carriages, sedan chairs, horses, etc.

Soon, the carriage and horse turned around Shangban Street, entered the alley more, full of blue bricks and tiles and powder walls, light gray horse head walls connected together, all kinds of dwellings lined up one after another, especially all kinds of alleys are very many, many streets and alleys are quite narrow.

The buildings on this side of Huaiyang have always been known for their dense and narrow streets, generally only three or five meters wide, and the narrowest "one person lane" is less than one meter, especially if you go to Yangzhou, you will have the name of "lane city", the houses in the streets and alleys are close to one after another, it can be said that they are crowded and not ventilated.

In order to prevent fire, it is mostly the structure of the horse's head wall.

Soon, Bao's carriage arrived at the door of his house, and his house was "Sihetou", that is, Siheyuan, which was very good in the Fucheng where every inch of land was valuable.

However, there are many rich people here, and the wealthy and large families often build large courtyards with a few drops and several entrances, and his annual income of a few hundred taels is only ordinary, and he can only maintain the dignity of an ordinary official.

As soon as he entered the house, his virtuous wife Tian greeted him: "Ah, the master is back?" ”

Bao experienced: "Where are you going if you don't come back?" You'll be. ”

Under the service of his wife, he took off his official clothes, changed into civilian clothes, and said, "Has Zhang'er come back?" ”

Tian smiled happily: "I came back for a while at noon, and I went to the house to study hard." ”

Speaking of this son, Tian's words were full of pride: "My son, I won Xiucai at the age of twenty, and now I have been studying hard for two years." Professor Fuchu said that his article was well written and that he had great hope of making it to the top. When the time comes, I will be a Jinshi, and I will be blessed as a mother. ”

She sighed proudly for a while, and then looked at Bao Shishi, that is, she raised her eyebrows: "Which is like you, just a person, decades old, and still an eight-grade official." ”

Bao couldn't help but sigh, he actually felt guilty about this wife, she was from a big family, she could have married better, but she chose herself without hesitation.

Although she loves to complain and nag, she is actually very considerate of herself.

Sure enough, after Tian's eyebrows were raised, he quickly said with concern: "The master is tired, right?" ”

She called: "Mother Qian, Mother Qian, quickly bring the master's ginseng soup." ”

Then an old mother came over quickly, holding a hot ginseng soup, but it was the wife of a distant relative, Ma Fu's wife, Qian's, when the husband and wife defected, Tian thought it was cheap, and his family was reliable, so he kept using it, and it has been three or four years in the blink of an eye.

Bao Shi sat down, took a sip of ginseng soup, and a warm current entered his abdomen, and his spirit was lifted.

The case is tired, physically and mentally exhausted, and it is impossible to make up for it.

Looking at the color of this ginseng soup, it is a good ginseng, but Tian ran a lot of old shops to buy it for her husband to nourish his body.

After drinking the ginseng soup, Bao Shi asked, "What about Sheng'er?" ”

Tian said: "Oh, Yusheng, I am talking to the daughter-in-law of the Yan family in the house." ”

Bao was stunned: "The daughter-in-law of the Yan family...... Wang Qiong'e? ”

Tian smiled and said, "Isn't it? They didn't know what to whisper, and it had been an hour. What is the old man looking for her, but he wants me to find his daughter-in-law? ”

The relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very good, after all, they have a common language, they both love to scold their husbands, and they feel that they have a hard life, and they could have married better, but they actually love their husbands.

And Jin Yusheng bargaining is very powerful, every time Tian goes out shopping, he will bring his daughter-in-law, at this time, he heard the old man ask, and said that he wanted to call his daughter-in-law?

Bao Cheng groaned: "No need. ”

……

Bao's daughter-in-law, Jin Yusheng, did talk to Wang Qiong'e in the room, her room is close to a canal, so it is a two-story building, generally to Huaiyang, or even in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, many houses are mainly small buildings to avoid rainy season and dampness.

She is twenty-one years old this year, one year younger than Wang Qiong'e, but she is already a mother of four children, but she is still delicate and cute, and she is still a typical demented woman.

However, after all, her Jin family is also one of the local clans in Fucheng, and Jin Yusheng has received a good education since she was a child.

However, after marrying Bao Tingzhang, the son of Bao Experience, she has changed in many aspects, such as bargaining, she never bargained in the past.

However, the temperament of the demented woman remains the same.

At this time, he snuggled on the couch, holding a book chapter, and cried whining: "Feng Yan spreads books and reads, picks up the lamp to write articles, walks in spring, and enjoys autumn nights...... Woo, a little lovesickness, all kinds of tenderness, blame Liang Shanbo for being too incomprehensible, hating only hating Zhu Yingtai for not picking out his daughter's body...... If I wish Yingtai, I will definitely confide in Liang Shanbo, and I will stay and fly together...... just said, I'm afraid that there will be no such spread through the ages, bit by bit, tears in the eyes, sad goodbye...... Do I say, or don't I say? ”

"Don't talk about it, my demented woman."

With this pleasant and magnetic voice, a pair of jade hands reached out and pinched her face: "Your children are four, don't think about it all day long." ”

It was Wang Qiong'e who spoke, she was wearing a mud skirt with golden branches, green leaves and flowers, an emerald blue gown, and Luan Feng wore flowers, which were cut appropriately. When she smiled, she bloomed like a hundred flowers, her face was full of amorous charm, and she leaned down, making her chest even more turbulent.

"Nasty."

Jin Yusheng pouted, "I can't even think about it." ”

She hugged the white lion cat next to her, and said, "Say, my Wang Da Shopkeeper, you have always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, how can you have time to come to the little girl's cold house today?" ”

Wang Qiong'e smiled: "Can't you come to see my friends?" ”

She hesitated for a while, but still said, "Sister Yusheng, I'm here to learn fine strokes from you." ”

"Oh?" Jin Yusheng has been interested, she has been playing with Wang Qiong'e since she was a child, and knows that she is a good sister, although she has studied since she was a child, she is proficient in arithmetic, and she has learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is not proficient. She likes to draw, but she hasn't been able to draw well, why today?

She had gossip in her heart, squinted at each other, and said with a smile: "Why do you suddenly want to learn to draw, or fine strokes, but who do you want to draw?" ”

Her eyes rolled wildly, and she guessed, "Could it be that Han Zhongjun?" ”

Wang Qiong'e's face flew a delicate red, and she said angrily: "What is Sister Yusheng talking nonsense? ”

She showed the appearance of a little daughter, her cheeks seemed to be smeared with a layer of rouge, and she lost her former elegance and ability.

Jin Yusheng looked even more suspicious, she suddenly sighed, and said with a straight face: "Sister Qiong'e, do you want to keep going like this?" You're only one year older than me, do you really want to be widowed for the rest of your life? ”

Wang Qiong'e was a little dazed and said: "I don't know, I just marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, after all, I entered the door, I am the daughter-in-law of Yanfu, I should keep this festival......"

Jin Yusheng looked at her capable sister like this, and felt a pain in her heart, poor Sister Qiong'e, God was unfair, let her be this widow. is also a woman, Jin Yusheng understands the pain in Sister Qiong'e's heart.

When the Wang family and the Yan family were married, the queen of the Wang family, Qiong'e, was sixteen years old, and Yan Shangxian, the son of the Yan family, was eighteen years old.

It's just that joy and sorrow, after Yan Shangxian ushered Wang Qiong'e in, because of excessive joy, he drank two more glasses under the persuasion of others, and drank excessively, causing stomach bleeding and death.

Before the cave house, her husband died with a whimper, and Wang Qiong'e became a real widow.

Therefore, drinking and mistaking things, especially excessive drinking, is even more harmful to others and oneself.

Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Wang Qiong'e has also been widowed for seven years.

Her reputation is not good, and many people turn away from her.
