Chapter 173: Dali Temple
"Childe, Childe!"
Feeling that his shoulder was pushed a few times, Zhang Chen woke up in a daze. Shaking his head, he reached out and rubbed his face to make himself sober, Zhang Chen turned his head to look.
Silver Ruiji stood beside him, frowning, looking at him apologetically.
"Silver Maiden!"
"Childe, there are people looking for Childe outside!" Looking at Zhang Chen, Yin Ruiji said softly. Full of apologies.
She woke up early this morning, and when she woke up, she saw Zhang Chen lying on the table in the room asleep, full of alcohol. Seeing that Zhang Chen was sleeping soundly, she didn't dare to wake Zhang Chen. This is Zhang Chen's room, and she occupies Zhang Chen's bed, so Zhang Chen has no place to sleep! Zhang Chen treated her like this, which made her feel very unhappy.
Last night, when Zhang Chen came back from Zhao's mansion, it was already the second half of the night. There were two rooms in the courtyard, but no one cleaned them up, and there was nothing in them. There was nowhere to go, so he went back to his room, and when he saw Yin Ruiji sleeping in Zhengxiang, he was not too embarrassed to wake her, so he lay on the table and took a nap, and fell asleep unconsciously. Last night, in order to get Wu Hongniang drunk, I unknowingly drank a lot.
"Oh! Oh! Zhang Chen turned his head to look at Baguio standing on the other side of him, pouting and looking unhappy. Xiaolan stood behind Baguio, ready to wash her teeth, water, and towels.
"Childe, Father-in-law Wei is waiting for you outside, Childe hurry up and wash up, let's go over!" Baguio looked at Zhang Chen and said. The tone is not very good. Zhang Chen came back last night and had no place to sleep, why didn't he go to her? She doesn't mind squeezing a bed with Zhang Chen!
"Oh! Profound! ”
I was stunned. Zhang Chen then remembered. From today on, he will be the secretary of Dali Temple, the third grade of the imperial court!
Hurriedly stood up, hurriedly washed up, straightened his clothes, and went out. Baguio and Xiaolan followed behind Zhang Chen, while Yin Ruiji stayed in the house.
At this moment, Wei Zicai was standing in the bookstore, followed by eight little eunuchs, holding a lot of things in their hands.
See Wei Zicai. Zhang Chen greeted him. He said apologetically: "Grandpa Wei! I'm so sorry I drank a little bit last night and overslept! Let my father-in-law wait for a long time, and please don't be surprised! ”
I came back yesterday and checked it out. In the Tang Dynasty, eunuchs could be called "fathers-in-law". And only those eunuchs with high powers. in order to be called "father-in-law".
"Hehehe, it's okay! Anyway! Zhang Gongzi, let's take the order first! Wei Zicai said with a smile.
"Oh! Oh! ”
Zhang Chen straightened the hem of his clothes. hurriedly knelt down, and Baguio, Xiaolan and Xiaoju behind him also knelt down.
Wei Zicai straightened his sleeves, slowly pulled open a roll of yellow silk cloth, and said loudly: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said." The world of Datang is full of talents. Governing the country must be based on employing people as the pivot, and employing people must choose those who have both ability and political integrity! After recommendation and verification, Zhang Hongyu, the owner of Hongyu Bookstore, is a talented person, and he specially named Zhang Hongyu as the secretary of Dali Temple, the official worships three products, and gives a house, one thousand taels of silver, three hundred taels of gold, and five horses of silk, and immediately takes office to serve the country! ”
"Thank you, Emperor! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Zhang Chen hurriedly knelt down and bowed. Then raise your hands in the Divine Decree.
Wei Zicai handed the holy decree to Zhang Chen and said with a smile: "Zhang Gongzi, congratulations, congratulations!" Hehehe, I have to call Mr. Zhang in the future! ”
Zhang Chen stood up, looked at Wei Zicai and said, "Father-in-law, please take a seat!" ”
"No, we have to go back to reply to the decree!" Wei Zicai smiled, "Hehehe, the queen mother is very optimistic about Lord Zhang, and Lord Zhang's future must be limitless!" In the future, adults will have to take care of our family! ”
As he spoke, Wei Zicai waved his hand, and the little eunuchs behind him stepped forward one after another and put down the things he was holding. The three of Baguio hurriedly stepped forward to catch it.
"My father-in-law laughed, Zhang still relies on my father-in-law to take care of him!" Zhang Chen said with a smile.
"Zhang Gongzi, your yard is in Jishanfang, it is under construction, and in more than ten days, it is estimated that you will be able to move in! When you have time, you can stop by and have a look! If you have any comments, you can also ask the craftsmen! Wei Zicai said with a smile.
"No hurry, no hurry! Father-in-law sit down, have a cup of tea and go! Zhang Chen said with a smile.
"No, no!"
After the things were put down, Wei Zicai hugged his fists and said, "Okay, Lord Zhang, our family will leave!" ”
"Father-in-law, go slowly!"
Zhang Chen sent Wei Zicai out. When I returned to the house, I looked at the silver taels and clothes, and I felt that I was really in a trance, and I had become a member of the three grades of the imperial court, which was like a dream. In ancient times, it turned out that it was so simple to be an official! Dali Siqing, the president of the Chinese People's Procuratorate, can also be regarded as a central-level cadre! In his time, an ordinary person like him, climbing for a lifetime, is estimated to not be able to climb such a position!
"Childe, how could the queen mother crown you as the secretary of Dali Temple?" Baguio walked up to Zhang Chen and asked softly.
"I don't know what to say, maybe I can talk!" Zhang Chen said casually, "Okay, let's get these things into the house first, you can divide these silks and make a few new clothes each." Oh, and the Silver Maiden! ”
Hearing Zhang Chen say this, Xiaolan and Xiaoju were overjoyed. The silk is very expensive, not to mention the silk in the palace, which is definitely the best quality! A shirt made of pure silk is worth at least a hundred taels of silver.
It is a woman, all love beauty, in the Tang Dynasty, the best material is silk, bright luster, silky feel. Like the clothes on Wu Hongniang's body, they are all made of silk, which looks noble and magnificent, and they are also extremely silky and comfortable to wear. Ordinary people can't afford to wear silk, and it's better to have a silk shirt and a silk shirt, which is already very good! Even the white robe on Zhang Chen's body looks very good, but it is just an ordinary fabric.
The three daughters of Baguio began to pack up their things, and Zhang Chen returned to the courtyard, straightened his clothes, walked to his room, prepared to comb his hair, and went to Dali Temple to have a look.
Seeing Zhang Chen coming in, Yin Ruiji hurriedly greeted him, "Childe! ”
"Silver girl, I'm sorry, I entered the room last night without the silver girl's permission. Silver Maiden hasn't eaten yet, has she? I'm going to ask Xiaolan to prepare something for Miss Silver! Looking at Yin Ruiji, Zhang Chen smiled.
"Childe must not say that! It was Rui Ji who occupied Childe's house, which caused Childe to have no place to rest! Childe is resting in this house tonight, Rui Ji can find a random place, and that's it! Looking at Zhang Chen, Yin Ruiji said apologetically.
"How can this be? The silver girl is a guest, this is not Zhang's hospitality! Silver girl rest assured, I have my own arrangements. Zhang Chen said with a smile.
With that, Zhang Chen walked to the dresser and sat down, ready to comb his hair. This ancient man is really troublesome, men have such long hair!
"Childe, I'll come!" Yin Ruiji hurriedly came behind Zhang Chen and snatched the comb.
"This, Silver Maiden, no need! It's good that you treat Zhang as a friend, you are like this, it makes me feel uneasy! Zhang Chen frowned and said.
"Childe's kindness to Rui Ji, Rui Ji doesn't know how to repay Lu Dao in this life, Rui Ji is willing to be a cow and a horse for Childe!" Yin Ruiji looked at Zhang Chen and said sincerely.
"This, Silver Girl, I haven't avenged Yuan Gongzi yet!"
"Rui Ji believes in Childe! Besides, Childe still has the grace to take in Rui Ji! If Childe doesn't let Rui Ji do anything, and treats Rui Ji as a guest, then Rui Ji will feel even more uncomfortable! Yin Ruiji said softly. Then he combed Zhang Chen's hair and began to comb Zhang Chen's hair.
After thinking about it, Zhang Chen stopped talking. Let her go! Now that Yuanzhen is dead, will she go back to Qinglou? There's no need for that! Follow yourself, and you can take care of her yourself! You can't just treat her as a victim of your own mission, right?
After eating some breakfast and bringing the waist card of Dali Temple, Zhang Chen went out.
Dali Temple is located in the east of the imperial city, cross Luoshui, enter the end gate, and then enter the Chengfu gate, you can arrive. You can also enter from the Xuanren Gate in the east, but that would be too detouring.
The imperial city is far away from the southern city where Zhang Chen is located, and Zhang Chen has no horses, so he can only go on foot. It's time to buy a horse and learn to ride it!
Before he got close to Dali Temple, Zhang Chen met an old acquaintance, who was of course Yu Chi Zhenjin. Zhang Chen also knew that Yu Chi Zhenjin would definitely come!
Seeing Zhang Chen, Yu Chi Zhenjin smiled and said, "Zhang Gongzi, I thought Zhang Gongzi wouldn't be here today!" ”
"Hehehe, no, no! Zhang is a reputable person, how can he not count what he has said? Captain Chi Du, please! Looking at Yu Chi Zhenjin, Zhang Chen said with a smile.
"Zhang Gongzi talked about the investigation yesterday, I don't know how Zhang Gongzi will help me?" Yu Chi Zhenjin asked.
"Don't worry, Captain Chi will know when I go in!" Zhang Chen said with a smile.
Yu Chi Zhenjin frowned slightly, he was no longer from Dali Temple, and he didn't want to enter Dali Temple again. However, Zhang Chen said that the temptation to solve the case was really too big for him!
Zhang Chen walked towards the Dali Temple, but Yu Chi Zhenjin was stunned and still followed behind Zhang Chen.
Before Zhang Chen and Yu Chi Zhenjin got close, someone came up to stop them, "This is the important place of Dali Temple, and idle people are not allowed to enter!" ”
Yu Chi Zhenjin looked at that person, and that person also looked at Yu Chi Zhenjin, was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Oh, isn't this Wei Chi Duwei?" What kind of wind is blowing Captain Chi Du here today? ”
Looking at this guy, Zhang Chen always felt a little familiar. He clearly knows that there are ghosts in Dali Temple, and he is a gatekeeper, so he thinks it's this guy!
Yu Chi Zhenjin's face pulled down. I really didn't expect that he was demoted, and even his original subordinates didn't want to see him so much! Yu Chi Zhenjin held back the anger in his chest and looked at Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen took out the waist card on his body and handed it to the guy's eyes, the guy was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly clasped his fists and shouted: "My lord!" Humble duty has no eyes, please don't blame adults! Humility is also a duty! ”
And when Yu Chi Zhenjin saw the waist card in Zhang Chen's hand, his face was even more ugly. This waist card was originally his! After doing it for a long time, Zhang Chen is the newly appointed Dali Siqing, so why is he looking for himself? Do you make fun of him in public? (To be continued......)
