When Yang Ling heard that Wu Qianhu was coming, he knew that there must be something important, so he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, hurriedly said goodbye to Guan Shouying, and hurried to the front hall. There were two thin, energetic young men standing straight outside Yicheng's small office, Yang Ling only regarded Wu Jie's entourage, and didn't go to his heart, and stepped straight into the door, only to see that Wu Jie was still wearing a green robe, sitting upright on the chair, but the appearance of sitting in front of him was very different from the leisurely expression last time.

Yang Ling chuckled in his heart, Wu Jie's appearance obviously had something important, could it be that something went wrong with Jinyiwei. When Wu Jie saw him come in, he immediately stood up, and when he saw that the little official who was passing the word was also following Yang Ling, he hurriedly said, "Lord Yang, please go to the inner hall to talk!" ”

Yang Ling saw that he hurriedly waved his hand to let the little official leave, he covered the door, and followed Wu Jie into the inner room with anxiety, just wanted to meet the official courtesy, but Wu Jie turned around and fell to the ground: "Xiaguan Wu Jie, meet the commander of the Jinyi pro-army and the envoy Yang Ling Yang!" ”

Yang Ling was startled, hurriedly helped Wu Jie up, and said with a misty face: "Lord Wu, what did you say?" What the same knows, this this".

Wu Jienu put on a smiling face and arched his hand: "Congratulations, Lord Zhang, the Admiral Jinyi Wei, appreciates Lord Yang's talent and learning very much, and has ordered the Lord to enter the Jinyi Wei Tongzhi, the official is promoted to the fifth grade, and the lower official enters Beijing on an errand, and I hereby come to inform the Lord of this edict."

Speaking of which, Wu Jie is a thousand households from the fifth grade, only half a level lower than him, so there is no need to make such a big ceremony, but Yang Ling is now a Beijing official, and he has entered the center of Jinyiwei, he is just 18 years old, and his future is bright, how dare Wu Jie not work hard.

"Huh?" Yang Ling was even more dazed, he was confused by this news, he had no idea what kind of official he was, but he understood Wupin, and he was stunned for a long time, before Yang Ling ate and said: "Lord Wu, how could this suddenly transfer me to Beijing as an official?" ”

When Wu Jie heard this, his tears almost didn't fall: "You ask me, who am I going to ask?" I'm a hereditary brocade guard, I worked hard for 30 years to become a thousand households, and there are also Jinyi guards who have been promoted by the people to achieve this level, but they have all made a lot of contributions all their lives, who knows which ancestral tomb of your kid has smoked, and I am still panicked! ”

But how dare he say this, and hurriedly laughed: "The lower official was ordered to set off from Beijing overnight, and I don't know the details. If you want to come to the dust, the jade is dazzling, the big talent is outstanding in learning, and the outstanding is outstanding, how can the imperial court annihilate the talent? Hahaha"

Wu Jie smiled, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, stuffed it into Yang Ling's hand, and said: "When you first go to the capital, buy a house and land, visit colleagues, you must have some expenses, and the lower officials will give Cheng Yi a thousand taels, please smile."

Yang Ling heard that it was a thousand taels of silver, where did he dare to accept it, Wu Jie said: "Your Excellency doesn't have to mind, the lower officials are running around outside the plug all the year round, and the bitterness is a little bitter, but in order to cover their identity, they often do some smuggling business with foreigners for medicinal materials, leather goods, salt and tea, and with the blessing of the identity of Jinyiwei, the money is easy to come by, this little bit of money is nothing, just a little bit of the lower official's mind, the shameful knife is difficult to enter the sheath, if the adult does not accept it, the lower official can be embarrassed."

He said that he didn't wait for Yang Ling to refuse, stuffed the silver ticket into his sleeve, and said with a reluctant look: "Xiaguan and the adult have been quite close to each other since they met, and the adult has entered Beijing, and the lower official can only go to the adult's mansion to meet when he returns to Beijing every year to report on his work."

Alas! Xiaguan is old, running around all the year round, his legs and feet have been inconvenient, the adult will be reused in Beijing this time, and I hope that the adult can say a few good words for Xiaguan, Xiaguan's relatives are all in Beijing, running several pharmacies, if Xiaguan can be transferred back to Beijing, Xiaguan can also reunite with his family."

Yang Ling thought to himself: This Wu Qianhu seems to be unhappy in Beijing, otherwise there are many high-ranking and powerful people in Beijing, so you don't have to go my way, it's just that I, a small official, have been promoted to 100 households, and it can also be said that Jinyiwei is in order to invite favors in front of the emperor to compete for military merits, and now he is inexplicably promoted to Tongzhi, but it is too weird."

Wu Jie's return to Beijing this time was because he wanted to be transferred back to Beijing for his upper and lower activities, but he was not the only one who took the same path, but these people had been officials for many years, forming parties and factions, and they were most concerned about the trend of personnel changes in the DPRK and China. Yang Lingnian was not yet a weak crown, but he was personally ordered by the supreme head of Jinyiwei to be promoted to Beijing, of course, the future is unlimited, if you don't build a good relationship now, who cares about the icing on the cake in the future?

Yang Ling thought for a while, and then asked, "Lord Wu, I still have the identity of a post officer, don't I need an order from the ministry?" When can I enter Beijing? ”

Wu Jie was stunned and said: "My lord, Jingzhong ordered me to hurry up to issue the decree and seal letter, but I didn't mention the adult's journey into Beijing, oh, by the way, there are two Jinyi captains who came with me, and they were sent by Beijing to escort the adults, and the adults can ask them."

Yang Ling received the letter of order, and the two came to the outer hall. Wu Jie opened the door and called the two young people in, the two of them were of similar height, their eyes were clear, and they looked very shrewd and capable. The two of them knew about the appointment of the capital, and as soon as they entered the room, they clasped their fists with both hands, knelt down on one knee, and saluted Yang Ling: "Humble Liu Biao and Yang Yiqing meet Lord Tongzhi."

Yang Ling was not used to being worshiped like this, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them up and asked carefully, but the order the two of them got was to protect the adults all the way back to Beijing in casual clothes, and then meet Lord Zhang. As for the time of returning to Beijing, Lord Zhang specially instructed that another lieutenant general in Beijing would come to greet him, and asked them to wait quietly, and at the same time, he would not notify the local government of the matter of being promoted to the governor for the time being.

Yang Ling and Wu Jie looked at each other in surprise when they heard this. You must know that the identity of Jinyiwei is divided into three types, one is to run errands in the yamen, the identity is public, and he is the core member of Jinyiwei; One is semi-public like Yicheng, everyone knows that he has this identity, but no one will break it, he is a peripheral member of Jinyiwei; The third is Wu Jie, who is active as a civilian, and outsiders will never know his true identity, but he is actually a secret agent of Jinyiwei.

Yang Ling's official knows that entering the Beijing division as an official is a public identity, but now he is not allowed to notify the locality, and there must be a lot of articles in it. Is there a special person in Beijing to greet you? This time, Wu Jie expected that Yang Ling must have found a big backer in Beijing, and his attitude became more and more respectful. As for the two captains, they have been assigned to Yang Ling's personal soldiers, and the two of them are very happy to see this adult so young.

There are many descendants of the meritorious heroes of the past dynasties in the Jinyi Guard, all of whom are hereditary official positions, but these two people are Jinyi Guards who are selected and transferred from the people. It's like someone has a bachelor's degree, and you are a secondary school graduate, even if your work ability is stronger than others, you will encounter many obstacles to promotion. The lord he was serving now was so young, so promising, and at the same time a commoner like himself, that his chances of natural promotion increased greatly.

Yang Ling sent Wu Jie away, and arranged for Liu Biao and Yang Yiqing to live in the post house first, thinking that he was now a five-grade official, and he was a high-powered Jinyi guard, and he suddenly felt a joy after being at a loss, he couldn't help but go straight to the backyard with joy, wanting to tell the young lady the news.

Men in love are like children, and of course they wish to let their closest people know as soon as possible, Yang Ling walked to the fourth courtyard in a hurry, and saw Ma Li'er turn out of the courtyard and bring a basin of water, and splashed it out with a bang. She is wearing an apron, a green silk wrapped in a white handkerchief, the sleeves are half pulled, and the jade arms are like two lotus roots, the weather is still cold, because the water has been frozen red for a long time, it is rare to see the appearance of her cloth dress and hairpin skirt, but it has a unique charm.

Her eyes were red, as if she had not been crying for a long time. Seeing Yang Ling coming, Ma Li'er was taken aback, and she didn't want him to see her embarrassed appearance now, so she turned her head and flashed into the courtyard. When Yang Ling saw her, he remembered that he had just heard about Bi Du Si's concubine, and hurriedly chased after her. Ma Li'er flashed into the courtyard, and saw Yang Ling coming in closely, she was really anxious now, and hurriedly picked up another wooden basin on the ground and entered the house in a panic.

When did Ma Li'er become so afraid of seeing people? Yang Ling became more and more curious, and followed up the house without thinking about it, Ma Li'er was angry and ashamed, put the wooden basin on the table, turned around and covered the front, and said in a panic: "What are you chasing me for?" ”

Yang Ling spread his hands and said helplessly: "What are you running if you have nothing to do?" What's wrong with the pot? ”

Ma Li'er's face turned red, she glanced at Yang Ling angrily, and said, "You want to take care of it?" What kind of dog are you to take a mouse! ”

She blushed and pulled the tablecloth to cover the wooden basin, walked to the kang and sat down, her legs curled up, her hands on her knees, her chin resting on her knees, and she looked at Yang Ling and said, "What are you chasing me?" Do you have something to say? Yang Ling noticed that she was wearing a pair of white bow shoes, which were worn for her father's filial piety, her legs were curled, her pants were stretched, and behind her straight legs was a beautiful semicircle like a compass

Yang Ling glanced at it, only to feel exciting, he didn't dare to look at it at the moment, his eyes moved back to the wooden basin covered by the tablecloth, and he realized that what she had just washed might be the main waist, chest belt and other women's intimate clothes, women are too shy about these things, and even the young lady washes and dries these intimate things to avoid herself, no wonder Ma Li'er fled back like stepping on a cat's tail, and she was in a hurry to put things away.

He sat down on the chair opposite, and said after a moment's silence: "I heard that Brother Ma came here this morning?" ”

Ma Li'er glanced at him meaningfully, and the corners of her mouth pursed: "Haven't you already met him?" ”

Yang Ling's face turned red and he said curtly: "How do you know? ”

Ma Li'er's eyes flickered, a hint of inexplicable laughter flashed, and she said, "I heard that you saw him this morning." ”

Yang Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Still making trouble? Why don't you know about sorrow? I heard that your brother is going to force you to marry Master Bi? ”

Ma Li'er rolled her eyes and said in her heart: "What am I anxious about, no matter how greedy my brother is, I don't want him to dare to tie me up and give me away as a concubine?" ”
