At the same time, in the little-known Taoist temple outside the city, Su Qian, dressed in cloth, was admiring Shi Yun's ink treasure.

The "handlebar style" has changed its outfit, the green silk is in a bun, the hairpin is curled, the Taoist robe is added, the overgrown beard is gone, and standing in front of Su Qian is a white pure Taoist with a plane like a crescent moon, and even his figure has lost at least two laps.

"Is Shi Yun suspicious of Hua Sanniang?" Su Qian asked.

"It shouldn't be, after all, Hua Sanniang was scared, and I woke up in the pinch." It was a woman's voice that answered him, and it came from the mouth of the White Pure Dao.

The corners of Su Qian's mouth curved, from childhood to adulthood, my sister has been so clever.

He put Shi Yun's ink treasure away and said to the man, "No problem, you can go for a walk on Liubu Street tomorrow." ”

The Taoist answered, dodged and retreated.

The next day, when the Taoist walked on Liubu Street, he was already a quiet reader.

He was slightly hunched over with a modest smile on his face, and someone approached him, and whether it was crowded or not, he had to turn sideways to give way.

Liubu Street is divided into Liubu East Street and Liubu West Street, on the East Street is the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry and other cultural yamen, and the West Street is the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the Five Military Governor's Mansion and other military yamen.

At this time, it was the time of the Yamen, and there were no people on the Liubu Street, and the people who came and went were the officials who transmitted documents between the yamen, and there were also scholars.

Most of these scholars came to Beijing from other places, and when they arrived at the end of the year, they could not return to their hometowns for one reason or another, and they had nothing to do, so they went to Liubu Street to take a walk and feel the atmosphere of being an official, so as to motivate themselves to jump into the dragon gate early.

The young scholar stopped in front of every yamen and looked at it with envy in his eyes.

A scribe came out of the yamen, holding a scroll in his hand, and hurried past the reader.

The scholar hurriedly and politely turned sideways, stood with his hands down, and nodded at the scribe, the smile on his face humble and polite.

The scribe glanced at him, his mood calmed down, he slowed down his pace, and walked past the reader with his head held high.

But he only cared about raising his head, but he tripped under his feet, he stumbled, and almost fell, but the reader on the side helped him in time, but the scroll box in his hand still fell to the ground.

The boxes that passed ordinary documents between the yamen were unlocked, and the boxes fell to the ground, the lid of the boxes was open, and the documents inside were scattered all over the ground.

The scribe sighed, and hurriedly picked it up, this is a daily document, not top secret, but if he really loses it and goes back to make up for it, he will also be trained.

The reader saw it, and also leaned over to help pick it up, there were not many documents, only two or three volumes, all blue folds, although the reader has not yet been an official, but I have also heard people say, this kind of document to the relevant yamen seal and confirm, it will be sent to the cabinet again, by the cabinet elders unified instructions. Some of the excerpts can be issued after the instructions of the elders, and some must be submitted to the emperor again, and then issued by the cabinet after the imperial pen instructions.

The scholar cherished the documents he picked up and handed them into the hands of the scribe as if he were holding a holy decree.

The scribe thought it was funny to see his cautious look, but it was just the most ordinary paperwork, could he use it? I don't know where the countryman came from.

Although the ladies are fashionable with Su-like clothes and Su-like jewelry, for most people in the capital, they are all in the countryside when they leave the capital.

Until the scribe walked into another yamen with the scroll box, the scholar from the countryside still looked at his back with envy, and a humble smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

After a while, the scholar turned around and went to Liubu West Street, and stopped in front of a yamen, looking curiously and reverently at the people who came out of the yamen, and finally, he saw the person he wanted to see, so it was another chance encounter......

Two days later, Shi Yuanzheng and two officials from Dali Temple were drinking tea at the Sifang Teahouse. These two are both fifth-rank officials, and like most of the fifth- and sixth-rank Beijing officials who enter the imperial examination, they look glamorous, but in fact, they don't have a good life.

There is a high hall, there are young sons, four or five brothers or nephews who have not yet become officials, and there are relatives in the countryside who come to the capital from time to time to fight the autumn breeze, they are the only people in the village or even the county who are officials in the capital, so the villagers will come to visit when they arrive in the capital, and even the parents and officials in their hometown will let their children and nephews come to visit. As they came and went, their lives became more and more scarce, and they could only turn around during the New Year's holidays.

Shi Yuan has always been the one who helped them turn.

The imperial court strictly released the money privately, so most of those who put the money in the seal had backers.

Shi Yuan's official position is not high, of course he can't be this backer, but people with high official positions will not pull down their faces to put money in print, and they still have to go through the people below.

Shi Yuan is the person below.

He has been in the princess's mansion for more than ten years. The princess's mansion is full of top ladies and noblewomen in the capital, Shi Yuan has a lot of friendship with the long history and stewards of these women's mansions, and I don't know when Shi Yuan helped the ladies put the money in print.

These ladies have noble statuses, including princesses, county lords, and super makeup and first- and second-class orders.

In the capital, when Shi Yuan's name is mentioned, few officials above the third grade may know, but eight or nine out of ten of the female dependents in their family have heard of it, and some have even asked Shi Yuan to do things, of course, this is all done in private, and no female dependant will be stupid enough to mention Shi Yuan's name whenever she meets someone.

Sifang Teahouse is where Shi Yuan often comes. First, there are many people here, and it will not attract attention; Second, because Jinyiwei used to make trouble here, and the incident was very big that time, and then the matter subsided, and the Sifang Teahouse became a forbidden place for Jinyiwei and the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses, and no one didn't let them come, but they didn't want to come. Now that the Jinyi Guards have died down, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will not come here.

Jinyiwei didn't come, the soldiers and horses of the five cities didn't come, the imperial historians didn't come, no one fought, and the imperial historians went to join who to sue whom, of course they didn't come.

So the current Sifang Teahouse is the safest place for Shi Yuan.

He handed the two envelopes to two people, each with ten silver bills of twenty taels each, and the two of them subconsciously looked around and tucked the envelopes into their sleeves.

Since the return of the white narcissus with the top card in the Sifang Teahouse, the storytellers in the Sifang Teahouse are no longer so likable, just like now, the storyteller is foaming at the mouth, and the tea guests are still talking, and the laughter covers the storyteller, and no one knows what the gentleman is talking about.

No one knew what Shi Yuan's table was talking about.

Shi Yuan asked with concern, "Is this silver enough?" If it's not enough, just come back to me. ”

"Enough is enough, I don't know when I will be able to pay it back." An official said with amusement.

"Alas, there are too many places to spend money in the capital, and it's not easy to live."
