June 13 of the fifteenth year of Yonglong.

Leng Zixing, an antique dealer, hurried early, carried a wrapped kiln to the back porch of Rongguo Mansion, knocked on the door and entered Zhou Rui's house, ready to use this kiln to honor the old man's family.

Unfortunately, Zhou Rui and his wife were not at home, but Zhou Rui's family hired a small maid to sweep the floor and sundries for the time being, and welcomed Zhou Rui to the room, and then a little maid came to watch tea.

Leng Zixing sat peacefully, knowing that his father-in-law's family was busy, and he didn't call anyone to shout.

At noon, the little maid and the maid found some rough food to eat, and Zhou Rui returned to the house for the time being.

Seeing that Leng Zixing was at home, Zhou Rui hurriedly sent the little servant to the Rongfu kitchen to make Qian Zhangluo a meal, so as not to entertain him inadequately.

Leng Zixing persuaded him, and seeing that the old man insisted on doing so, and the food in Rongguo's Mansion was announced, he had to follow Zhou Rui's intentions.

I saw the kiln first, but it was a dish. Zhou Rui held it in his hand, turned it over and over, and finally saw a doorway.

"I'm afraid it's Zhaoyao? It seems like some years. Zhou Rui said.

Leng Zixing said with a smile: "That's right, you save me from going south a few days ago, and I wanted to find a big customer in Zhaoyao, but I had no choice but to return to Beijing after finding nothing." I didn't think about it, I was wandering around the market yesterday, but I came across this thing for sale in a series, the stall owner is an old farmer, I don't know the treasure, I just sell it as an ordinary expensive weapon. ”

In the end, it was naturally Leng Zixing who bought all the Zhao kilns, and today he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and sent one to Zhou Rui.

"Good, good!" Zhou Rui praised repeatedly, his face seemed to be smiling, and said, "This is also your luck." ”

Soon, someone brought a meal, and drank a glass of wine, and both of them were in high spirits.

"Mother-in-law is still working in the house?" Leng Zixing asked with a little drunkenness.

"Yes, the second master of Fuli Lian went to take office today, she was assigned by her wife to help the second grandmother of Lian relocate, I sent the second master Lian back, but she is afraid that there is still some unsorted out." Zhou Ruidao.

Second Master Lian's departure from the house is a big deal, whether it is thinking of sending away a demon king of the mixed world, or taking care of her pregnant niece, Mrs. Wang has to do her part.

What's more, Mother Jia is still watching inside, how can Mrs. Wang be inconsiderate.

Leng Zixing said: "Over the years, I have often heard of this second master Lian, although this person is out of line, he has two ups and downs in officialdom at this age, but the future future is probably extraordinary." ”

If you look at it, that person really doesn't look like a Jia family, Leng Zixing boasts of his vision, but he looked down on him in the past, so he is often a little annoyed.

Zhou Rui sneered: "I don't think that Second Master Lian has a hot temper, and he can't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes, and it is still difficult to mix in the mansion, and he has offended the old ancestor and the two rooms, not to mention that he is in officialdom now." I'm afraid that not long after I leave Beijing, I will have another disaster. ”

is also at home, and drank again, otherwise Zhou Rui would not dare to arrange the master of the house like this.

And some things are not easy to say to Leng Zixing, as Mrs. Wang's companion, he was pinched by others, and many times he had to do things for Jia Lian, so Zhou Rui couldn't help but complain.

Leng Zixing listened to Zhou Rui's complaints, but said with a smile: "You have been wandering on the streets of Ning Rong all the year round, so maybe you have forgotten, or you may not know, the outside is not the world of Ning Rong's parents, and others do not have to abide by many rules, and it is difficult to make a career if you don't die of hunger." Outside, talented people have a place to use wherever they go. ”

On the tenth day of the first month, Leng Zixing happened to see Jia Lian swaggering through the market, and in an instant, he pulled hundreds of people out from the old city next to him.

At that time, Leng Zixing was sure that this person's ability was not small.

Thinking about how long he Jia Lian has only been in the Shenji Battalion, and he is a person who has been degraded in disguise and sent out of Beijing, it is good if others don't step on it, but he can make those military masters move with a word.

After eating another glass of wine, Zhou Rui was slightly drunk, and his face was sullen.

"That's it, let's see what happens."

……

In the morning, Jia Lian prepared official robes, documents, seals and other items and left Rongguo Mansion.

By noon, he had already left Kyoto, leading his entourage to rest at a post station outside the city, and sheltering from the noon sun by the way.

Because of the trouble on the tenth day of the first month, Jia Lian's entourage was much lighter and simpler than the one booked a few days ago, and many of the expenses were cut by the public middle school in the house.

The original two-room cook was left with only one room.

In this room, I followed because Sister Feng was pregnant, and I was relieved to teach my own cook to use it.

Now in the team of dozens of people, more than half of them are serving Sister Feng'er.

There are also some other family members who protect the road, who are also under the control of Sister Feng, and receive money from her.

Jia Lian only brought a personal servant Xing'er Zhao'er, as well as two milk brothers, Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong, as for the rest of the sundries and foreign affairs, they were all detained by the public government.

If there is nothing, there is nothing, but Jia Lian feels that he has been purified because of this.

The team stopped outside the post station, and while everyone was resting under the tree, Jia Lian untied a horse and rode it, and after greeting Sister Feng, he took Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong with him and left here temporarily.

Not long after, Jia Lian, who was riding, rushed to a wine and meat shop outside the city, handed over the horse to Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong, who followed, and walked into the store first.

"Boss Zhu, what kind of meat are you cooking today?"

Just sat down next to the boiler in the store, Jia Lian recognized it when he smelled the smell of the pot, and said with a smile: "Wrap 20 catties of mutton for me to eat on the road, and then bring a jar of home-brewed rice wine." ”

When the shopkeeper came out, he first sent a man to fetch meat, and then came over and said with a smile: "I just saw the adults passing by, and I was thinking about where I was going to take office, but I happened to come." ”

"Go to Shaanzhou Mansion."

There is nothing bad to say about the trip, Jia Lian first took a bowl of wine and drank it.

The shopkeeper's name is Zhu Fu, and Jia Lian is also an old acquaintance, Mo seems to be a mediocre shopkeeper, in fact, when Jia Lian went down to the south of the Yangtze River, the official Zhu Gui of the Ministry of Rites he met was from the same clan as him, and he had a deep relationship.

Without this relationship, this prosperous Chengkou liquor store would not be able to open.

Zhu Fu came over to say that he went to greet the other guests, and after Jia Lian ate another bowl of wine, the person he was waiting for finally came.

Drunken King Kong Ni Er took a hat to shade the sun, carried a heavy burden behind him, and pinned two pairs of straw sandals to his waist. With a stick in one hand, he led a man sweaty.

When Jia Lian saw that he really came, he was overjoyed and walked out of the shop to greet him.

"Second Master Lian, when I leave, I can only defect to you, if there is anything wrong in the future, please bear more." Ni Er wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Jia Lian laughed: "Eating imperial grain in the future will definitely be better than being poked in the backbone by someone when you put the money in the seal." ”

Then he turned to look at the person behind Ni Er, although this person Jia Lian didn't recognize his name, he was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

The man stepped forward and wiped his sweat and said, "Nephew Jia Yun, I've seen Second Uncle Lian." ”

It turned out to be you kid!

Jia Lian remembered that just a few days ago, when he was almost about to find Jia Zhen directly on the West Road, it was this Jia Yun and a dry bird who squeezed up, and then there was a big commotion.

"Jia Yun is my neighbor, and I also want to follow Second Master Lian to find some wealth." Ni Er explained.

Since Ni Er is a guarantee, there is nothing that cannot be collected, not to mention his own family.

Jia Lian only said: "Now I haven't taken office yet, since I have come to vote for me, but I haven't taken office yet, but I can't send the monthly money, everything will only wait until I get to Shaanzhou." ”

Jia Yun and Ni Er both said yes.

At this time, Zhu Fu, the shopkeeper on the side, was sharp-eyed, pulled out a board car from behind the wine shop, and found Ni Erdao: "Drunken King Kong is rare to go out of Beijing, this car will collect your luggage for you, I wish you an early success." ”

"Good!"

Ni Er was overjoyed and thanked Boss Zhu, he was tired of walking like this.

Seeing this, Jia Lian took out another horse and asked to tie up the cart and hurry up, as well as the wrapped wine and meat, all of which were put on the cart.

After some hard work, several people left Zhu Fu Liquor Store and rushed towards the post station, and returned to the team after a while.

Ni Er and Jia Yun were brought by Jia Lian himself, and they were all characters on Ning Rong's street, so they melted in in a few words.

After resting for a while, the sun passed at noon, and the team left the post station again.

It's a long way to go, and there is some time for Jia Lian to take over the post, so he has to travel seventy or eighty miles a day, and he can't be delayed.

Swaying, light feet and brisk walking, walking through the unknown mountains.
