Although it is close to early spring, the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, which has entered the Xiaoice River period, is still cold.

Outside the Taiping Gate, the left is Xuanwu Lake, and the right is Yanque Lake.

At the bridge, there is an endless stream of pedestrians, and a group of people stop to say goodbye and are reluctant.

"Brother, then I'll take Fluttershy to the Taiping Mansion." Bao Butong looked at Fluttershy, who was brought back from Saibei in the carriage, and muttered, "Brother, you should take care of yourself in Yingtianfu, and if you have a holiday off, remember to come to Taiping Mansion to find my brother." ”

Bao Yuanqian straightened his younger brother's collar and admonished: "This is no better than being an official in Suzhou Wei. Suzhou Weitian is far away, and you still have room to turn around when you are open-mouthed and conflict with others. But now that you are an official of the imperial court, you must no longer be rash, and you should think twice before acting. ”

This Taiping Mansion is today's Dangtu County, which is not far from Yingtian, more than 100 miles a day away. However, after the separation of the brothers, and the impatience of Bao Butong, he was very worried that he would be convicted for his words.

He has been telling a few people in the past few days that they must not talk about the merits of the dedication, they will definitely rot in their stomachs. Especially he is not worried about his younger brother, who is young and vigorous, and is quite easy to fight with others.

So he asks Fluttershy a lot to fix the book if he encounters something unsolvable, and sends it to Yingtian for him to decide.

Although Bao Butong was impatient, he could still listen to Bao Yuanqian's words, so he said: "Then I wish my brother to make progress in Yingtianping, just wait for my brother to develop, and take me to Tartary to find my father in the future, and say goodbye!" ”

"Good boy, you still talk crepe." Bao Yuanqian watched his younger brother turn over and get on the horse, and went away with the sedan chair and couldn't help but sigh.

Although Zhao Biao and Zhao Bao are in Suzhou, the other is in Changzhou. However, the two of them are in the same direction, so they also happen to go together.

Zhao Biaozuo said: "Take care, brothers, we will go here." In the future, there will be many letters and exchanges, and if there is something to ask for, the two of us will definitely be duty-bound. @ ”

"Take care." Jiang Wei and Ying Hao stepped forward to send the two out of the bridge.

Gao Shou went to Zhenjiang to be an official, and Zhenjiang was only more than 100 miles away from Yingtian. Gao Shouzheng was a little hesitant, his official document survey was the first to come down, but he had to wait until everyone was together to say goodbye today.

"Brother Gao, do you have something to say?" Bao Yuanqian asked.

Gao Shouzheng wanted to speak and stopped, and said again and again: "Big bag, my Gao Shouzheng's rotten life was picked up by you." At the beginning, the family was ruined, and I only wanted to repay the favor when I went to Saibei with you, but I didn't expect that one day..."

Bao Yuanqian waved his hand and interrupted: "Brother Gao, everything today is not only my work. If you hadn't taken me out of the gate that day to fight the tooth sacrifice, I'm afraid we wouldn't be where we are today. Now that the past grievances have been written off, if you and my brother mention it again, we will see the outside. ”

Gao Shouzheng's mouth pressed tightly up and down, nodded and said: "You are right, if you need the help of your brothers in the future, you will definitely come thousands of miles to the meeting." ”

"Farewell!"

Bao Yuanqian sent away a few foreign appointments, just as Jiang Wei and Ying Hao came back. He made a gesture and said, "The people have also been sent, and now it's time to go and put the affairs of a few of us in order." ”

The two understood what they meant, so they invited each other into the city.

The regulations that Bao Yuanqian said were official uniforms and places to live, and since they had gained fame, they naturally could no longer live in the restaurant, but had to move to the courtyard of the court.

This so-called Chaoji Yuan is the "collective dormitory" of officials in Beijing, which is said to be a collective dormitory, but the treatment is much better than that of later generations.

From the top of the eighth grade upwards, it is a separate courtyard, and the treatment of a cavalry lieutenant like Bao Yuanqian is still a second-entry courtyard. Jiang Wei is Xiezheng Shu, and Yin is also the same as him.

This court was set up not far from the imperial city, and its purpose was to facilitate the office of officials and the court. At first, the officials were able to follow the rules and lived in the courtyard. For more than 30 years, many high-ranking ministers gradually gave birth to a heart for pleasure, and they moved out of the court to choose their own mansions in Yingtianfu, anyway, they didn't care about the distance if they had a sedan chair in the court.

Gradually, the court courtyard became a gathering place for middle and lower-level officials, and these low-level officials were naturally not qualified to go to the court, but it was extremely close to the offices of the six ministries outside the Hongwu Gate of the Imperial City, so it became the residence of the middle and low-level bureaucrats.

Ying Hao lives in the Zhenfu Division, so he doesn't have to. But Bao Yuanqian and Jiang Wei had to choose their own courtyards, but.

Fortunately, there is a lot of idle courtyard in the courtyard, and a few days ago, I selected two courtyards that are close to each other and have not yet moved in.

The two wanted to spend some time with their brothers, and they naturally had to leave the inn and go to the Chaoji Courtyard after seeing them off today. Jiang Wei can also take Xiaolan with him, so as not to let Lu Gangfeng take care of the two of them alone, and he will be dizzying.

As for the official uniform, this also surprised Bao Yuanqian. He didn't expect that the types of official clothes were so complex, there were court clothes, regular clothes, and civilian clothes.

Fortunately, they are only treated, and they do not have the court clothes required for the court. But what's worse is that the court gave you an official position, but this official uniform needs to be privately ordered with the imperial court.

A few days ago, they ordered several sets of regular clothes and civilian clothes, and according to the official ranks of the two of them, one of them embroidered a bear with gold thread, and the other with gold thread to wear a pair of white pheasants.

Tomorrow is the first day of work, so I naturally have to go to get my official uniform today. _o_m Bao Yuanqian chose a set of scarlet, blue, green, white, and purple, in the past, he thought that the color of the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty was to distinguish the level, but in fact it was not.

As long as it is not bright yellow and dark color, the rest can be chosen. Knowing this knock on the door, that Bao Yuanqian will let go of himself and become a standard well-dressed beast.

The two said goodbye to Ying Hao, and after taking the official uniform, Bao Yuanqian thought of Benjamin, who had been guarded, and happened to be going to pick up Xiaolan to go to Chaojiyuan, so he and Jiang Wei went to Lu Gangfeng's residence together.

The two cautiously entered the door of the house, and when they raised their eyes, they saw Benjamin, who was chopping wood, sweating like rain, and Lu Gangfeng, who was knocking on the rocking chair on the side, and Xiaolan was pushing the door out of the wing.

Bao Yuanqian looked at this funny scene, and felt that Lu Gangfeng had cleaned up Benjamin as a coolie, and he was a descendant of the golden family, but the Great Khan of Mahamuri was chopping wood and doing coolies in a small courtyard in Yingtianfu, which was ingenious.

"Brother Lu."

"Congratulations to the two brothers, the official robes are attached." Lu Gangfeng got up to greet him, pointed at Benjamin and said with a smile: "This guy has a temper tantrum in the morning, and I am punishing him." ”

Bao Yuanqian came here specifically for Benjamin, he pointed to Benjamin and said, "I'll talk to him alone." ”

Benjamin's resentful eyes squinted at his "brother", Lu Gangfeng pushed him into the cellar without saying a word, Bao Yuanqian walked in only to see Benjamin angry and said: "Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated, why do you torture me like this, it's better to be happy with a knife!" ”

When Bao Yuanqian heard him say this, he was amused, "If you are so backbone, how can you survive to this day?" "When he broke through the siege of Eleng Mountain that day, the scene of him being frightened and incontinent is still vivid. Nowadays, what is said to be a soldier can be killed but not humiliated, this straw bag is a typical human vegetable addiction.

If it weren't for Harajang's left and right sources and trying his best to take care of him, would he be able to sit on the throne of the Great Khan?

Benjamin blushed, knowing that he could no longer stand in front of his brother, and said angrily, "What are you going to do to imprison me here?" Is it just to humiliate me, I killed you at that time..."

"It was forced by the circumstances, right?" Bao Yuanqian smiled lightly and looked at his brother in the dim cellar.

Benjamin snorted softly, "Now that I am coerced by you, I have long lost the ability to resist, and you can only be killed and taken by you." ”

"If I want to kill you, why should I keep you to this day?" Bao Yuanqian lit an oil lamp in the cellar and said, "Benjamin, I know that you have a background in the Timurid Empire, but you never thought that even if Timur defeated Mahamu, wouldn't you still be a puppet?" ”

"What do you mean?!" Benjamin thought he would humiliate himself, but he didn't expect him to talk about him.

Bao Yuanqian approached with his hands in his hands and said: "My meaning is very simple, you rely on Harazhang for the power of the Great Khan. Now that Harazhang is gone, you are also in the Ming Dynasty, and you have long lost your political capital. It can be said that now you have nothing, and you are a wasted person. ”

"Hmph, it's still thanks to you!" Benjamin stared at Bao Yuanqian angrily, if it weren't for his lack of skills, he would have wanted to strangle Bao Yuanqian immediately.

"Hehe... If I say, we are born from the same root. If you abandon your previous suspicions and cooperation, go back to the grassland in the future, and build a great cause again, do you believe it or not? Bao Yuanqian said in a shocking voice, "You put me to death in the past, and I will be you."

If forced by circumstances, they will not be pursued. ”

Benjamin was stunned when he heard this. He never imagined that his mortal enemy would say to himself that he would abandon his old animosity with him!?

The reason why Bao Yuanqian said this was naturally not really his own. It's that Benjamin's straw bag is quite important to himself, and he can even assume the key to his own shadow double. He thought of the phrase "Can Ann tell if I'm male and female?" But this person is narrow-minded, and he has more than enough success and more failure. You can only use inducement, not coercion.

Bao Yuanqian turned sideways and said, "Maybe you don't believe it, but I have my own plan." @·Error-free start~~ Besides, you have no choice, and now you can return to the grassland in addition to cooperating with me? Even if you go back to the grassland, what storms can you have? ”

Benjamin looked at him cautiously, this brother who caught himself in Daming, didn't know what bad water came out of his stomach. He didn't have much talent, and he was able to stand there by virtue of his identity in the past. Now without these conditions, it is no different from a wasted person.

Bao Yuanqian looked at him twice, then withdrew and left to pay attention to a sentence: "You have thought about it yourself these days, now only I can help you, we are mutually beneficial and win-win." You're a smart man, don't be foolish. ”

Benjamin stood in the cellar in a daze, watching the flickering of the oil lamp. Although his brother is extremely hateful, his words are not false at all. Now that he is a prisoner, he has lost his political capital, and if he wants to climb up, there is no second way except to cooperate with their group.

But he is the bloodline of Emperor Tianyuan, and now he can only compromise!

"Damn!!" Benjamin thought of this, and the feeling of powerlessness hit him, and he kicked over the grocery box next to him.

But there was no response, and he had no effect now except to vent on the box.

...........

At the foot of the chicken coop mountain, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the white mangs are dotted in the meantime.

Guozijian faces the Qinhuai River inward, leans on the Jicoop Xiu Mountain with his back, sits in front of the water and behind the mountain, and the scenery is beautiful.

On this day, the sky had just turned white, and with the sound of bells, it rippled out from the Guozi Prison, and countless powerful students and outstanding poor students recommended from all over the country began to pour into the Guozi Prison.

A strange scenery was formed from all directions, and many students wore torn jackets that were sewn and mended, and carried blackened bamboo books on their backs, braving the cold wind, and rushed to the gate of the Guozijian early to serve.

Some of them came in large sedan chairs or luxurious carriages, and these students were either rich or noble, and they were accompanied by reading children to grind ink for them and carry books on their backs.

I saw that in the cold morning, a horse bell rang, and then a carriage came along the river. The carriage was covered with vermilion lacquer, the boards were covered with mink, the windows on both sides were covered with fox furs to protect from the cold wind, and the curtains were heavy blankets.

Outside the car, a coachman who looked like a family member drove the carriage, and when he arrived at the gate of the Guozijian, the thick curtain was slowly lifted by a scholar.

The scholar jumped down from the carriage, took off the back of the book in the car, and whispered under the curtain: "Childe... Childe .." After screaming a few times but not responding, he turned over and got into the car to take a look, and it turned out that his son-in-law was asleep in the warm car.

He woke up the sleeping son, and then jumped out of the carriage again, and the boy was dressed in a white scribe's robe, and rubbed his sleepy eyes in his fur and said, "Annoying... Why is it so early every day, and the rooster has not yet crooked! ”

The scholar helped him out of the car and said, "Little... Childe, the rooster has already crowed, but Childe is asleep and has not heard it. ”

The scholar almost slipped his mouth, and suddenly changed his name. The prisoner's son knocked the scholar's head with a folding fan, "Begging for a beating, the son is the son, how can there be the title of the little son?" If you call the wrong one again, you will be punished for three days and not allowed to eat when you return home! ”

"Oh, got it." The boy stuck out his tongue and shrunk his neck.

Just as the prisoner got out of the car, a sedan chair lifted by four people from the other direction also arrived at the gate of the national prison.

As soon as the sedan chair tilted, a prisoner walked out of the inside, who was Zhang Jiansheng, who wrote poetry that day. As soon as Supervisor Zhang got out of the sedan chair, he saw the prisoner in a white-clothed scribe's suit, and he came up again and again to make a move, and said humbly with a spring breeze on his face: "Oh, I didn't expect Brother Xue to arrive early." Zhang Jing is ashamed of himself, and he is ashamed of himself. ”

This white-clothed prisoner is Xue Prisoner that day, and Xue Prisoner saw that this annoying kraft candy was sticking again.

Although he frowned, he still cleared his throat and pretended to be polite: "Brother Zhang is not a talent who is good at work but not at work." I'm a fool and a fool, even if I come earlier, it's useless. @·error-free start~~"

"Where, where." Zhang Jing was about to say more, but he heard a panting scholar coming from behind.

He turned his head and saw that it was his own scholar, and he arrived sweating profusely with a book on his back.

Zhang Jiansheng frowned and scolded: "On weekdays, I let you work hard with my son, but I didn't want to be so lazy and useless, so that everyone laughed." ”

The scholar said yes again and again, but Xue Jian Sheng couldn't help but glance at Zhang Jing, and his heart is strong with you, so why don't you take a sedan chair and not go to the country with him to study?

The scholar next to Xue Jiansheng said in his heart that this Zhang Jing himself has a carriage and does not sit, but likes to toss people. Whether it was the sedan chair or the scholar, they were tortured enough by him.

Miss Own.. Oh no, although his own son occasionally blames himself, he is much happier than Zhang Jing's scholar.

"Brother Xue, I'm smiling." Zhang Jing frowned and scolded, and immediately changed into a smile like a jade tree in the wind and said, "I don't know if Brother Xue knows that our country is going to have a new business?" ”。
