Lian Zining copied the marriage book in its original style, and then put it on a paper envelope, with the words 'Lord Wan, Mrs. Wan' written on the outside.

After finishing these, it was already getting night, Lian Zining asked Cheng Yu, it was almost seven o'clock now.

It's almost curfew.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a curfew, "xiao" is the night, and "ban" is forbidden. A curfew is a prohibition of nighttime activity in ancient times. Many costume film and television dramas often have scenes of men and women shopping on the street at night, saying that in ancient times, the lights were bright, nightclubs were lined up, and people could party all night as they do now. In fact, this is simply nonsense, and such a scenario rarely existed in ancient times.

"Curfew" was very common in ancient times, and was renamed "night ban" in the Ming Dynasty, and the regulations were more clear. The morning bell rang at three o'clock on the fifth watch before the ban on traffic. Those who walk on the street on the second, third, and fourth watches will be flogged forty times (fifty times in the capital); Those who commit a night offense after the first watch night ban and shortly before the fifth watch ban is opened, will be flogged 30 times (40 times in the capital). Sickness, childbirth, death and bereavement can be passed. Now 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. is the ancient first watch, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. is the second watch, 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. is the third watch, 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. is the fourth watch, and 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. is the fifth watch. In other words, you can't go out at 7 o'clock in the evening, and you will be beaten up if you go shopping on the street from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m.

In order to enforce a curfew, every city where the government is stationed has to lock its gates at night and prohibit entry and exit from the city. The keys to the gates were to be given to the magistrates' chambers, and at the same time fences were to be erected at the intersections of the streets, to be guarded by the officials of the government, and not to be allowed to pass.

Lian Zining said a word to Cheng Yu, and hurriedly went out, and after a while, he arrived at the alley of the tethered horse pile, but this time he did not go to the main gate of Wanfu, but walked around Wanfu, and finally found a secluded place, looked left and right to see that there was no one, and threw the envelope in.

Seeing that the sky was not leaving, I quickly went home.

There are no names of Lian Zining and Wan Qingwei on that paper, but the birth date is all there, and people who don't know the inside story will naturally not know what is going on when they see it, as long as Mrs. Wan or Wan Shicheng see it, they will naturally know what is going on. If it is accidentally seen by others, the news spreads, and it will naturally not affect Miss Wanjia's reputation.

After a night of speech, after eating early the next morning, Lian Zining carried the marriage book in his arms, and was ready to go out for a walk with Cheng Yu first-if you count it, Mrs. Wan or Wan Shicheng should also get the news, if you deal with it, the sooner the better. Lian Zining could already foresee what would happen after he left the house - the people from Wanfu broke into the door and searched vigorously, but it was certain that they would not find what they were looking for even if they rummaged through the cabinets.

Lian Zining is not afraid of making a mess of this family, because if this thing is done, the income obtained will be much more valuable than that of this poor family.

Even if Mrs. Wan didn't receive the letter, then it didn't matter, just the brother and sister went out shopping, Lian Zining has been here for so long, and he really hasn't experienced the market style of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door. Surprisingly, the people of Wanfu came so quickly? But soon he guessed that there should be someone else who came, and the people from Wanfu came to the door to find faults, how could the knock on the door be unhurried, and it seemed to be extremely leisurely?

Lian Zining opened the door, but saw that the door was a rat's whisker, and when he saw Lian Zining, he smiled with his hands.

"Shopkeeper Tong?" Lian Zining was surprised: "Your Excellency is here, I don't know what you are doing?" Come, please inside, please inside. ”

"Lian Xianggong, polite, polite." Rat Whisker was full of smiles, Lian Zining let him into the house, Cheng Yu came out to serve tea, and Rat Whisker quickly stood up from the top of his seat to show that he didn't dare.

He is Aunt Wang's husband, and Cheng Yu has naturally seen him, so he smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Tong, you talk first." ”

"What's the matter, shopkeeper Tong, this time?" Lian Zining had already learned from Cheng Yu that although this shopkeeper Tong had some small problems such as greed for money, he was still a good person, and he was not a person who could do anything bad. Besides, he extorted ten taels of silver from others last time, and as the so-called short-handed man, this is much more polite.

Rat Whisker smiled, his eyes revealed three points of obscenity, he looked at the door of Cheng Yu's room in a shy, and then lowered his voice and said: "Lian Xianggong, do you remember the young lady you met last time in Jiyazhai?" ”

"The young lady?" Hearing what he said, Lian Zining suddenly remembered the plain white girl, with a piece of jasper shining on a green forehead. The woman is not beautiful, she can only be regarded as a middle-class posture, but she gives people a very soft and comfortable feeling.

Lian Zining still had some impression of her, so he nodded and said, "What? ”

Rat Whisker twisted his beard under his chin and said with a smile: "That young lady, named Dai Qinglan, and her father Dai Zhangpu, is the eighth Jinshi of the second class of the 37th year of Zhengde. ”

"Oh? So what? Lian Zining seemed to vaguely guess the purpose of Rat Whisker's trip.

Rat Whisker didn't say it in a hurry, but asked: "Lian Xianggong, do you know what this military department is in charge of?" ”

As a top student of archaeology, Lian Zining still knows a little about history, especially the interesting history of the Ming Dynasty, but in some small details, he doesn't know as much as people of this era. He shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Rat Whisker said: "The military selection of the Qing Officials Division, in charge of the examination of the military attache grade, selection, promotion, and meritorious rewards, the examination of the dangers of various places, and the establishment of camps and floods respectively; Manage the inheritance and gift of Tusi military attachés living in ethnic minorities. Set up two people in the five products, three people in charge of the six products, there are a number of miscellaneous officials, 40 years of virtue, now the saint is due to the prevarication of the ministries and secretaries, no one is the prime minister, and the subordinate departments of the ministries are set up a person outside Lang, the affairs of the prime minister's various departments, although it is also the title of the five products, but the power is very great, only under the ministers of the book. ”

"Our Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers and criminal workers six departments, Dali Temple and other five temples, and other departments, there are countless subordinate departments, all of these divisions, the most popular and most important, naturally is the Ministry of Officials Wen Xuan Qing Division, and the Ministry of Officials Wen Xuan Qing Division, ranked second, the number of military departments of the military selection of Qing Officials Division. To put it bluntly, the military officials are in charge of the ranks, selections, promotions, rewards and punishments of the military attaches in the world. I'll give you an example for Lian Xianggong, let's take the border pass war as an example, you fought a big victory at the border pass, beheaded more than 10,000 people, and captured countless prisoners. As for the military attache who wants to be promoted, wants to make a fortune in a feng shui treasure, and wants to build and renovate the barracks, they all have to go through this layer of relationships. ”
