Since there is such an important matter, it is inconvenient for Zhu Haiyin to be on the side. Therefore, Xiao Jiading said to Zhu Haiyin: "I'm sorry, I played too late yesterday, I was drunk, and I was a little tired today, so I won't go out, let's go another day." ”

Zhu Haiyin hurriedly said: "Okay, then the day after tomorrow, I won't go out tonight, recuperate, let's get drunk the day after tomorrow." - Now, let's go to the Inner Yahuafang to see where you live, by the way, big brother, do you want to help you move? ”

"What help, I'm alone, and I don't have any luggage, just go in and live, there is no problem of helping."

"Okay, then I'll accompany you to see the accommodation first."

With that, the two went out and walked out.

As soon as I walked outside the door, two people happened to come over and took a look, but it was Huang Shiyun, the first talented woman in Yizhou who was in the peach forest that day, and Tang Rongxuan, the handsome son.

Seeing Xiao Jiading, both of them changed their faces, Huang Shiyun snorted heavily and looked at Tang Rongxuan. Tang Rongxuan understood, and immediately roared: "Tangtang County Yahoutang, how can you come in casually with mud legs?" Someone, tie him up, hang him from a tree and beat me hard! A few attendants behind him were about to rush up and get people.

Zhu Haiyin hurriedly said: "Tang Gongzi, stop!" This is the ...... of our Kang County Order."

Xiao Jiading waved his hand, blocked his words, looked at Tang Rongxuan, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm now the scribe of the Yamen Torture Room, and I have the right to come here." And as far as I know, the two of them are not from the yamen, why did they enter this back hall? It's you guys who should be tied up, right? ”

Huang Shiyun snorted, rolled her eyes, and said, "I'm here to find my father." Tang Gongzi is also looking for his father. ”

"Oh, so you're here to find Daddy?" He grinned shyly, "What's the matter?" Say it! "That look, as if he was the father of the two.

Huang Shiyun's face turned pale with anger and said, "You mud legs, take advantage of others!" - Is the torture chamber scribe amazing? I told Daddy, you're good-looking! ”

"Good-looking? By the way, the image of the two of them getting drunk in the peach forest that day is really good-looking. In such an elegant place in the peach blossom forest, you don't let me, but the two of you are in a mess, stinker than my, such an insulting thing, you two can do it? ”

Huang Shiyun and Tang Rongxuan's faces, which were originally so pale by Xiao Jiading's anger, became red again at this moment, and said angrily: "You ......, what nonsense are you talking about!" ”

"So many people saw it in the peach forest that day, and I didn't see it alone, didn't you see others frowning? By the way, you're so drunk that of course you can't see it. Hehe, the first talented woman in Yizhou, she is so virtuous, full of filth, like a dead dog, she is really good-looking. ”

"You! You! Huang Shiyun was so angry that her whole body trembled, pointed at Xiao Jiading, stomped her foot, and rushed out of the corner gate.

"Sister Xian!" Tang Rongxuan followed viciously, walked a few steps and stood still, turned around and pointed at Xiao Jiading and said, "You wait!" ”

"Okay, I'll wait!" Xiao Jiading smiled faintly.

Looking at their backs, Zhu Haiyin snorted and said, "What's the spirit?" When you know my eldest brother's current identity, see how angry you are! ”

He didn't say much at all, there was no problem of assessment for the general officials of the county yamen in the Tang Dynasty, and the county order decided whether to continue to hire them after the expiration of the term, while the officials who did not enter the stream outside the nine grades, such as records and assistants, should be assessed in order to decide whether to continue to appoint. This assessment is also the responsibility of the county order. During the assessment, what I am most afraid of is that someone will make a small report, and the most convenient thing to make a small report is the executive clothes around the county order.

Xiao Jiading followed Zhu Haiyin to the outside of the inner yamen. The layout of the ancient yamen is a bit like a miniature version of the imperial palace, and it can also be divided into two parts, the front is the office area, and the back is the residence of the county order. There is a high wall separating the two, and outside the high wall is where the retinue of the county order lived, and among them, there was a garment.

The executive is the personal secretary of the county order, and the treatment is naturally different from other entourage, there is a separate suite, two rooms inside and outside, the outer room is the bedroom, and the inner room is the study.

On the way, Zhu Haiyin told him that in fact, this residence is equivalent to the secretary's duty room, which is used for a noon break or something. After the dispersal, if the county order does not arrange any affairs, the clothes can not live here, but go home. It's just that Xiao Jiading doesn't have his own place to live now, so he regards this place as his home for the time being.

After looking at the residence, Xiao Jiading and Zhu Haiyin walked outside the county yamen, and when they arrived at the door, the porter saw Xiao Jiading, very stammering, and nodded again and again. It seems that power is really a fucking good thing, but a small full-time secretary to the county magistrate is already respected to such an extent, if he really becomes an official, it will be majestic.

The two broke up when they left the county office, Xiao Jiading looked up at the sky, it was still early. The commuting in the Tang Dynasty was implemented from seven in the morning to four in the winter and spring, that is, the current time is to go to work at seven in the morning and get off work at four in the afternoon. At noon, there are two hours to eat and rest. An hour earlier in summer and autumn. So it was still early when the government was dispersed. He decided to find a place to live. Although there is a place to live in the county office, there is everything in it, but it is too inconvenient. Still living outside at ease. This accommodation should not be too far away, preferably near the yamen.

The reason why he didn't tell Zhu Haiyin that he wanted to rent or buy a house was that he didn't want Zhu Haiyin, who was wealthy, to help, and others paid to help him buy a house, and he couldn't live well.

He walked forward at will, and came to the mouth of a small alley overgrown with ginkgo, he saw that the environment here was very quiet, and it was close to the yamen, which was very convenient to go up and down the yamen, so he wanted to go in and ask if there were any houses for rent or sale, and how much it was. If you can buy it, you can buy it, and if you can't afford it, you can rent it first.

When I entered the alley, I saw a food stall on the side of the road, but there were no customers, because it was not yet time to eat. So he went in and sat down, asked for a bowl of Yangchun noodles with lard and green onions, and while eating, he asked the old man in charge of the shopkeeper if there was a house for rent in this alley and what price.

The shopkeeper told him that this small item was called Ginkgo Biloba Fang, but I heard that some people wanted to sell the house, and there were also those who wanted to rent, and there was usually a wooden sign written at the door. The rent is very cheap, only about 200 yuan a month, which is equivalent to 1,000 yuan in modern times. As for the selling price, it depends on the size of the house, a small one with two doors with a yard is about 40 times, and a larger one is afraid that it will cost hundreds of times.

Xiao Jiading smiled bitterly, even if he added the jade pendant in his hand now, it was only more than ten times, and it seemed that he could only rent it first.

After eating noodles, Xiao Jiading came out of the snack shop and prepared to go shopping. He walked slowly all the way, and suddenly, he heard a delicate female voice behind him: "Xiao Gongzi!" ”

Xiao Jiading looked back, and looked at a chubby girl who ran over with a body of fat shaking, it was Du Erniu. smiled: "It's you, why are you here?" ”

"My house is right here."

Xiao Jiading suddenly remembered that yesterday Du Erniu's grandfather Du Dayin had told her that their house was in this area, and there was a ginkgo tree at the door. It's just that there are ginkgo trees on both sides of this street, so he didn't remember that Du Erniu's house was here.

Du Erniu said: "You went to my house, right?" Let's go! Grandpa still talked about you today, saying that he didn't know what happened to Lu Dao and you entered the yamen as a scribe, and I don't know if Lu Dao would make trouble for you. ”

Xiao Jiading said casually: "I am indeed here to thank grandpa, I have successfully entered the yamen and become a scribe, thanks to your help with grandpa." I've heard that your house is around here, but I don't know where it is. ”

"I'll take you!"

"Okay, but ......, wait for me, what kind of greeting gift can I buy......"

"What are you buying! You're here for the best gift! Du Erniu's flushed face was full of joy, and she took Xiao Jiading's hand and walked forward, "My house is in front." ”

After walking a short distance, Du Erniu pointed to a mansion under a tall ginkgo tree in front of her and said, "Oh! It's here! ”

Xiao Jiading looked up and saw that the ginkgo tree was really tall, significantly taller than the ginkgo tree next to him. When she arrived at the door, Du Erniu knocked on the door, and soon the porter opened, and it was a middle-aged woman, looking at Du Erniu, and said with a smile: "Erniu is back." ”

"Yes," Du Erniu pulled Xiao Jiading into the door and introduced Xiao Jiading, it turned out that the middle-aged woman was a servant of their family.

The courtyard of the Du family was very large, and Du Erniu pulled him straight into the main house, shouting along the way: "Grandpa! Grandpa, where are you? Xiao Gongzi is here to visit you! ”

Du Dayin's old voice came from the back room: "Xiao Gongzi is here?" As he spoke, Du Dayin walked out of the back room, his face full of smiles.

Xiao Jiading hurriedly bowed: "The late student came to thank Grandpa, the yamen has already admitted me as a scribe, and moreover, let me be the county commander's clothes." ”

Du Dayin and Du Erniu were both surprised and delighted, Du Erniu looked at him: "Really?" That's great! The executive of the county order, God, this is a position that many people dream of, I didn't expect it to be given to you. It's just wonderful. ”

"Yes, thanks to Grandpa's help, otherwise, how could I be where I am today?"

Du Dayin stroked his beard and said: "This favor is not for me to help, as the county commander's clothes, this requires a lot of ability." Either you have a lot of money, or you have a lot of backers, and I can't help you with either. You're thanking the wrong person. ”

Xiao Jiading said: "Naturally, there is nothing wrong, it was my grandfather who led me to find the county lieutenant Deng that I was able to enter the yamen." How could it be possible without a referral from grandpa? ”

Du Dayin listened to this very useful, and the smile on the old face deepened. said: "You're welcome, he didn't fix you, right?" ”

"There is no sign of that at the moment."

"Well, you have to be careful in everything, you are now the executive of the county order, then the county lieutenant Deng will be afraid, and he shouldn't be too embarrassed for you. You can get this position, if you don't spend a lot of money, that is, you have someone behind you to help, you used to give gifts to meet friends with poems, presumably there will not be enough money in exchange for this position, and the county order's clothes are not bought with money, the key is that someone has to sponsor you to the county commander. Who is it? Can you tell us about it? ”
