Chapter 564: Livelihood 4

"The military department? , what is the military department, can you eat it......"

A certain elusive tale quote......

Jia Yejun looking for me? , do you want to relive the old love?

Sitting in the carriage heading to Uptown, listening to the sound of Titi trampling, feeling the bright lights along the way, and the street market trend mixed with the sound of people.

The floral scents of magnolia, laurel, nightshade, and hibiscus that fill the air are mixed into a rich atmosphere unique to the night in the upper city.

As a resident of the Upper City, it is the privilege to ignore the constraints and regulations of most curfews, and instead act like nocturnal animals in the urban jungle, day and night, searching for all kinds of pleasure and fun.

However, the left city with a strong atmosphere of private life, or the right city with a commercial color, or even the lower city with a mixed market flavor, is more of the so-called rich atmosphere that is calm and unhurried, but elegant to cumbersome.

The groups that carry lanterns everywhere at night, even the servants they drive to servitude, are also under the humble and decent countenance, secretly carrying a more reserved and self-satisfied than other urban areas.

As for the old city where Ouchi is located, except for the officials and camps who stayed behind and ministered, after the drums sounded three times, it was almost dark and silent.

As the saying goes, this is a place where all kinds of old buildings and mansions in the city are gathered. Find an inconspicuous yard on the side of the street, a carved beast on a lamppost at the street entrance, and even an old and mottled sewer clamshell, all of which can be traced back hundreds of years to Liang Gonggong, or even earlier.

Therefore, just like the famous Baoquan Street that day, apart from accidents such as overheating, few traces of bulldozing and reconstruction can be seen, but only repairs and renovations in the past dynasties.

And this oldest urban area, under the cover of such a luxurious and wealthy atmosphere, is filled with a certain vicissitudes and nostalgia condensed by time.

It's just that as we get closer to our destination, the hustle and bustle of all kinds of rapid and staggered currents is gradually fading away, and the slow flow of cars, horses, and people on the left and right is replaced by long high walls and peeking out of the flowers and trees.

Just when I was about to arrive at my destination, I found that the vermilion lacquer door was actually open, and then, I saw a group of scolding and arrogant people walking out of Jiaye Jun's mansion quickly.

Most of them were pale and richly dressed, and they did not wear crowns or hats, but their heads wrapped in silk scarves, which seemed to have a kind of identity and grandeur.

I couldn't help but sink my face, and I couldn't help but give birth to the illusion that I was in my own private sphere and confinement, and that I was being touched and offended.

Clustered around a middle-aged man in the lead, the most conspicuous thing on his thin face was the pair of thick broom eyebrows, which made people feel a little gloomy and deep.

"Sassy Hoof......"

"Big and Small Slut ......"

"Losing money and ......"

The faint words in the wind made me frown and gesture to the left and right.

The guards rushed forward with understanding, and pushed those people to the ground one after another like hungry tigers pounced on sheep, and slapped their mouths together.

"Bastard ......"

"Bold, that dog dares to attack the Zongshu"

"Stop......"

"Help......

"Bypass me......"

"Don't fight anymore ......"

After a few moments, the men fled like defeated dogs, wailing and hurrying into the wilderness, leaving only a mess all over the ground and a few abandoned shoes and hats.

And I also got the identity of the other party, this group of sweary guys is actually still from Zongzheng Temple, and the thin-faced broom eyebrows in the leader are Liang Gongwang, the head of the Department of Nationality of Zongzheng Temple.

The Zongzheng Temple of Daliang is divided into two parts, north and south, the south temple manages and compiles the pedigree of the royal family, the clan, the national surname, and the relatives, and maintains and manages the Taimiao, the back temple, the royal mausoleum and other places to be sacrificed.

The North Temple is responsible for the daily punishment of hundreds of thousands of clans and nations at home and abroad, compiling and tracing the source; Verify and supervise the payment of allowances, education, harmony with the clan, accept lawsuits, and correct violations.

In charge of the approved expenditure flow of millions, this is not counting the so-called public property that is used to support the daily life of the clan and the national family.

It seems to be extremely powerful, but sometimes it is a noble department that supports a large number of idlers, and it depends entirely on the attitude of the superiors.

But although there are a lot of people who can be managed by this Zongzheng Temple, they can't control me. It's just why did they go back and provoke a widowed Jia Yejun who lives at home.

Next, with a stomach full of thoughts and doubts, I saw Jiayejun in a palace dress of purple flowers and brocades in the second gate, and his expression was a little complicated.

"You're here......"

She sighed slightly.

"What's going on......"

I asked, a little surprised

"Those people from Zongzheng Temple, why did they come here to make trouble......

"It's all these Xu family assets, and the right and wrong ...... provoked"

Jia Yejun seemed to have some unspeakable words.

"But it made Lang Jun smile."

It turned out that after the failure of the Northern Expedition of the National Dynasty, Jia Yejun, as one of the rentier classes, inevitably suffered the impact and impact of the depreciation of many real estate properties and the decline in the price of the bond market.

Therefore, in order to make up for the loss, she teamed up with her family, and in the name of the Blue Musk, she used the advantage of inside information related to me to make several large orders buy low and sell high, and thus won a lot.

However, because her main income is the interest of the land, she usually does not have much living money in her hands, therefore, a considerable part of the capital, she used the fiefdom under her name as collateral to borrow from Zongzheng Temple for a short time.

However, after the dust had settled for a while, those people suddenly came to the door and demanded her money and benefits on the grounds that her loan was not in accordance with the rules and that she was teaching each other privately.

"But it was accidentally transferred out, which made people miss ......"

"Claiming benefits on the grounds that it involves property ......"

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sigh

"Thank you for your help and kindness......"

"I'm just afraid that after this, where will Zongzheng Temple be, there will be some trouble......"

"If this affects the house...... The slaves have been at peace since then."

"Trouble, I'm not afraid of trouble......"

I sneered and comforted in a wide voice.

"This beam, what will I do next......

What is Zongzheng Temple, and what about the clan, it is not just a group of parasites raised in captivity with wealth.

Although it doesn't seem so simple behind this matter, it's really impossible to find someone to follow, find an opportunity to beat the stuffy stick, and lock it up in a small dark room to torture the reason.

If there is a discord, sink the river and deal with it immediately, who can say a word.

"After all that, I forgot to get down to business......"

On her beautiful face, she suddenly frowned again

"Get down to business......

I paused for a moment, what else is there to do. Isn't it because of the rights and wrongs of Zongzheng Temple?

"Do you know Mei Mei is sick again......"

"Mei Mei is sick? ,”

I was a little surprised for a long time before I remembered that this was the name of the daughter of her family, who was as shy as a bunny.

"I want you to see her......"

Jia Yejun's tone began to become a little difficult and embarrassed.

"Even if you say something......"

Well, at this moment, all I saw was a mother with a complicated expression and a hard time thinking about her daughter.

I found myself unable to refuse,

Soon after, there was still a strong smell of decoction in the boudoir.

I saw the girl who was a little white and emaciated, and was trying to sit on the couch, with a certain expectation and smile in my eyes.

The melon seed face has big eyes, the facial features are delicate and delicate, delicate and fair, like a porcelain doll, belonging to the type that is not very eye-catching at first glance, but the more you look at it, the more pure and lovely it is.

According to Jia Yejun's vague statement, the girl with the nickname was not thinking about tea and dinner after hearing a certain bad news, and quickly lost weight, saying that she was depressed or something.

"You...... Here it ......."

The girl was a little timid, and a little incredulous.

"Yes, I'm here,"

I smiled like a weird wreck

"I haven't seen you for a long time, it's not ...... that I miss a little"

This sentence suddenly made her red from the root of her ears to the bottom of her neck, but she was gently stirring her fingers on the futon, revealing her joy and joy.

"I don't know if you want me......"

"When...... While. When ......"

Her shy voice echoed in a small voice like a gnat, but her pale face was already dyed red.

"That's good......"

I leaned in from the edge of the bed where I was sitting, and let her lean gently against me.

"It's better to rely on me to talk, so you won't get tired......"

"I have a lot more to say to you......"

"Yes. It's ......"

I saw that her little face was so red that she was short of breath as if she was about to suffocate with joy.

Okay, sin and sin, when did I do this sin, and let such a little girl have such a deep affection for me, you must know that I have no promise of anything, and I don't have an oath of mountains and seas.

To be honest, I look at and deal with this qiē with a certain sense of shame and vaguely complicated feelings. Anyway, I am also how de, how can I become someone else's crush.

What cruel reason and necessity is there to debunk this beautiful dream bubble, and let it become a beautiful memory.

So, slowly, I explained the reason why I didn't come to see her as soon as I came back.

I also talked about some of my encounters and experiences in the Northland, and told her a few inspirational fairy tales such as "Thumbelina" and "The Swan Princess" as encouragement.

Her timidity and shyness have also been a kind of strong attachment and warmth that cannot be dissolved, and even some shy physical contact has changed from being secretive to taking the initiative.

"But anyway......"

Finally, I caressed it with pity, and she was dented out because of her illness, and her collarbone smiled.

"You have to at least heal your illness and take care of your body"

"Cultivated like a little pig and fleshy to the touch,"

"It's more to my liking......"
