In the early spring of the first year of Daxing Baoying, the bitter cold in the northwest has not yet faded, and the cold wind from the grassland blows directly into the entire northwest province. In previous years, because of the existence of the majestic Chaotian Pass, there was no way south in the bitter cold of the grassland, so the people in the south did not feel that the early spring was so difficult.

But in this year's days, the people of Qixian City felt that the northwest wind was like a knife, and it was scraping on their faces and bodies one after another, as if they had cut a layer of flesh on themselves.

The recruitment of troops on the side of the Drunken Immortal Building has not stopped, and it is said that there are only two days left. After being interrupted by a teenager yesterday, it is said that the popularity has increased instead of decreasing. The reason is probably that the dishes in the drunken fairy building are too fragrant and the wine is too tasty. It's no wonder that even the entire Qixian City has skyrocketed in popularity in the past two days. The people of the surrounding states and counties were moved when they heard the wind, and for a while, there were long queues at the four gates of Qixian City.

Of course, in the Immortal City, the place where the crowd gathers is not only the gate of the Drunken Immortal Tower and the gate of the four cities in the east, west, north and south, but also the county guard in the city is now crowded. Although there are guards urging to catch up, today's gate of the county guard mansion is extremely lively.

On closer inspection, the crowd looked ragged like beggars, unkempt, and there were many women and children. The guards at the gate all had doubts in their hearts, although Qixian City was located in the northwest of Daxing, but the county guard did his best, not to mention that everyone in the entire Weiyang County was self-sufficient, but as far as Qixian City under the rule of the county guard was concerned, it was definitely rare to see such a large number of beggars.

The crowd was noisy, and there were even loud cries, not like ordinary beggars begging. There was already a gatehouse to go in, and now that the festival has made Lord Duan in the Immortal City, the entire Immortal City is more nervous than in the past.

The fairy city of Weiyang County, the world only knows that the star-picking tower in the city is towering, there is a pattern of mountains and rivers, it is a wonderful place of beauty; But I don't know the county guard's mansion, but it's not interesting.

The scenery of the eastern, middle and western gardens in Fuzhong complement each other, and there are many green plants and flowers in the east garden, and the four seasons do not stop; From a lone peony to an elegant and clean jasmine, from the fragrant osmanthus in golden autumn to the plum blossom with a little red in the white, the garden is suitable for the time and scenery, and the shade is suitable; Now it is early spring, the plum blossoms have not fallen, the garden is red and white, and the wind is fragrant;

There are many green bamboo corridors in the middle garden, there are pavilions in the corridors, the pavilions lean on the corridors, there are wide ponds, there are green bamboos next to them, and the shade is lovely. When it comes to the early spring, in the pavilion, you can see the green green bamboo and the rippling water waves reflect each other, the color is distinct, people are in a trance for a while, it is impossible to distinguish this situation, this scene, when and where. The better thing about the middle garden is that the pavilion corridor in the garden is surrounded by white walls, and a circular hole door is opened in the wall. If you look at it from different angles, there is a strange scene of overlapping and overlapping, scattering circles, rings, and circles. It's really like a scene within a scene, and it's wonderful.

The West Garden is the center of the county administration, and compared with the East and Central Gardens, the West Garden has much less natural scenery and is more of an ordinary brick house. In fact, the Daxing officials' mansions and the government offices that handle political affairs were originally separate places, and it was rare for the two to be combined into one like Weiyang County.

Everyone knows that Zhou Chunliang, the county guard of Weiyang County, is diligent and loves the people on weekdays, and he works hard every year of the big examination of the officials, and it is common to stay up all night. It was at the suggestion of the county under him that he merged the personal mansion with the county guard's office. Previously, Lord Zhou had many excuses, and once said that he felt that the emperor's grace had been great for a long time, and now that he is away from Chang'an, he should do his best to share his majesty's worries and protect the territory. It's just that the county and a cadre of people wept bitterly and bluntly said that the adults were in good health, so that they could recreate the well-being for His Majesty, Daxing, and the people. As a result, after many expansions, there is a superb view of today's county guard.

In addition to the most important face for scholars, Daxing is more face-important than scholars. Why? Don't you see today's Daxing officials, most of them read books? Therefore, the porter of each province is a particularly important job. It's just because of this ushering in the concierge that he is sent to, which represents the face of the master in his own house. Therefore, generally speaking, all adults who have surplus food at home will always invite one or two old stewards who are skilled and know how to observe words and emotions to take on this important position.

The county guard of Weiyang County is no exception, and the porter in this box on weekdays is a horse steward who has been promoted all the way with Lord Zhou. Since he was a child, the horse steward who has followed Lord Zhou to the north and south is about forty years old, with wrinkles on his face and gray temples. From Fengcheng in Huainan Province to Weiyang County in Northwest Province, he has been with Lord Zhou for about 20 years.

Not to mention that he is exquisite, but he is absolutely active, knows how to advance and retreat, and understands proportions, so Lord Zhou Chunliang trusts him very much, in addition to the position of the porter, the cutting and changing of flowers and plants in the east courtyard of the mansion are also handed over to him to take care of. Steward Ma really deserves the trust of Lord Zhou, and the inside and outside of the mansion are well organized, and he has never lost half of the majesty of the county guard's mansion.

It's just that today, there is suddenly a group of people of unknown origin at the door of the mansion, about forty or fifty people, dragging their families with unclothed clothes, and outsiders look like beggars begging on the side of the road, but Steward Ma has followed Lord Zhou for many years, and has seen countless winds and waves, and his eyes are so vicious. With just one glance, he concluded that this group of people were the people who had fled. I remember that many years ago, I saw such a scene with Lord Zhou on the outskirts of Fengcheng, and that group of people escaped from the hooves of bandits in the mountains. Today's Weiyang County has been peaceful for a long time, the bandits in the territory are almost extinct, and most of the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it is really unbelievable that there are such a large number of refugees out of thin air.

For this group of people, Steward Ma originally wanted to call the guards at the door to drive them away, but after thinking about it, now that Lord Duan is staying in the mansion, if it disturbs Lord Duan's rest, then Weiyang County's face will be thrown to the entire Northwest Road. So the horse steward, who was shocked into a cold sweat, had to order the guards to whisper to appease the group, and he turned around and trotted all the way to the East Garden.

The reason why he ran all the way to the political hall in the West Garden, instead of the East Garden, can see the old spicy things about the horse steward. It stands to reason that when it is Kan Shi now, according to the habits of his own adults in the past, this should be drinking tea and enjoying flowers in the East Garden. But what's going on right now? That's the festival to make Lord Duan in the house, and all the adults are eager to come when Yin, so that they can earn a good impression of hard work and political affairs in front of the adults.

Such an opportunity is hard to come by for adults who have been in the northwest for a long time, except for the triennial official examination, there is basically no other opportunity for the adults above to see themselves. Now that the festival has made the adults in Weiyang County, maybe they will stay for a few days, if they say they will leave, then it is useless for the adults to pat their swollen thighs and regret it.

The steward trotted all the way, his sleeves flew up, and he screamed on the side of the road. It is said that he should not be so out of shape, but while the horse steward was walking, he thought of some more things for a while, and his steps couldn't help but become faster.
