Chapter 78: This hard day, when is it a head?
As soon as you enter the city gate, the scene in the city is even more embarrassing.
It is different from the water pavilions and high-rise buildings in the capital.
I also saw all the Central Plains buildings on the same road.
The houses in Lin Yang have the architectural style of the barbarians, which are mixed with the houses of the Central Plains, and the itinerary is unique to the mud and brick houses.
The houses look muddy from the outside, and with the yellow sand in the northwest, it feels desolate.
The roads in the city are paved with sand, wide enough, but not at all easy to walk.
Compared with the official road before entering the city, there are not many people in Lin Yang City, and you can still see many vacant residences and shops when you walk by.
Xu had not seen a face in the city for a long time, and the people avoided the convoy and looked curiously into the carriage.
Jiang Fu saw the depressed streets and ragged pedestrians, and understood why the local officials in Lin Yang saw Chen Jian'an as if they saw their own father.
This is an airborne top boss, this is an airborne wronged boss!
Although the Chen family is not a wealthy family in the capital, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.
Even if it is not good, there is such a glittering only daughter of the head of the East Factory, and there will definitely be no shortage of money to spend.
Jiang Fu squinted, and then looked at the group of old things under the carriage, it was not an amiable magistrate, but a class enemy who was ready to gather wool.
Her hand pulling the curtain involuntarily tightened, her money was all to be spent on the blade!
You old things, I can bear to scold me twice, hit me twice, um... I barely endured it.
But you're going to say you want to get me?
Hehe, I'm sorry, let's go to war!
Walking beside Chen Jian'an, the county who was introducing him to the customs of Lin Yang didn't know why he suddenly shuddered.
He tightened the cloak on his body, estimating that it was autumn and the weather was going to get cold.
The convoy creaked and came to the county mansion in the west of the city, and the mansion of Lin Yangcheng's highest official was a little bigger.
"Have you brought your family with you this time?"
Chen Jian'an smiled when he heard this, and waved at Jiang Fu, who was probing his brain in the carriage.
Jiang Fu walked out gracefully with a car curtain.
The fair-skinned and lovely appearance made passers-by who had never seen such a delicate woman around them couldn't help but take a few more looks.
"The mountains are high and the road is long, and the road is difficult, so this time I only brought the cheap one.
We just got married, and we couldn't rest assured that we were thousands of miles away from home, so we simply took it with us. ”
Although the county Cheng was a little surprised that he brought such a delicate lady to take office, he saw Chen Jian'an's action of holding her hand, and said with a smile: "You husband and wife have a really good relationship." ”
After that, he commanded the people in the mansion to help the people brought by Chen Jian'an to carry the luggage to the mansion.
The prefectural government is different from the mix and match style of construction in the city.
The previous county magistrate was an authentic Beijing person, and the construction of this mansion also followed the style of the capital mansion he was used to, and it was a big mansion with three entrances and three exits.
"This county order mansion was built by Gu Qingshan, the previous county commander, and Lord Gu is also from the capital, so presumably adults can live in the house."
Gu Qingshan's name Chen Jian'an had heard of it when he was young.
The Gu family and the Chen family are both big families in the capital.
I heard that Gu Qingshan was a side branch of the Gu family, and he was not welcomed at home.
After participating in the imperial examination, he invited Lin Yang, and his move was no different from self-destruction of his future, which made it really incomprehensible to others.
Chen Jian'an once read the articles he wrote and admired him very much.
"Master Gu, he... It's a pity. ”
When the county heard Chen Jian'an's words, he sighed sadly in his tone:
"Exactly, Gu Da loved the people like a son before his death, worked hard for government affairs all day long, and was deeply loved by the people, but it is a pity that Tianfu Yingcai went so early.
Alas, speaking of which, Lord Chen should also take care of his body, the northwest is dry and dry, and outsiders have to cough and feel uncomfortable for a long time.
The adults must take care of themselves, and the people and officials of Lin Yang will rely on the adults in the future. ”
Chen saw that An Liandao didn't dare to be.
Jiang Fu tilted his neck and looked at the mansion, doubting that the county Cheng said that they must be able to live habitually.
The house is a good house, but it is too shabby.
In a house like this in the capital, there are water features and flowers and plants as soon as you enter the door, but I don't know if it is because the green plants are difficult to feed, and the front yard is bare and full of weeds.
In her opinion, it is suitable to be used as a beach volleyball court, except for the sand in one place.
Following Chen Jian'an all the way in, she saw several breaks in the corridor she passed by, which showed that the carved beams and paintings in the capital could not withstand the northwest wind.
Just like that Lord Gu, the wind in the northwest is gone after a few years.
I will never let Chen Jian'an end up in the same fate!
This broken yard, find someone to fix it tomorrow!
Walking all the way, all the way to the depression, when passing by the atrium, Chen Jian'an was attracted by a lush and thick jujube tree.
The county man followed his line of sight, and when he saw the jujube tree, he said with nostalgia:
"This was planted by Master Gu when he took office, and now they have grown so big.
This jujube tree bears a lot of jujube every year, sweet and sweet, Lord Gu will make some red jujube cakes in his spare time, and it will bear fruit in a few years, and adults like to pick it and taste it. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Fu stretched her neck and looked at the jujube tree, only to see that the tree was really growing very well.
I can't say why she has some sighs in her heart, the person who planted the tree failed to survive the yellow sand in the northwest, but the tree planted stood firmly here, proving the evidence that he had existed for a short time.
The county government is still in order, and the dinner is the county Cheng Chengdong invited Chen Jian'an to eat in the largest tavern in the city, and there is a young man who has not seen him before.
"This is Zhang Heng, the son of the Lingnan prefect, who heard that the adult was in office, and specially came to pick you up."
The county man respectfully introduced, but his attitude was not close, which showed that the relationship with Zhang Heng was not good.
He quietly greeted him.
Jiang Fu didn't have much interest in him, and his attention was all on the steamed mutton on this big table.
She turned her head to look at Chen Jian'an beside her.
This product has been accustomed to fine food in Beijing since he was a child, and he can't stand these big fish and meat.
Along the way, as long as you enter the restaurant in the city, you must order two plates of green vegetables.
And he doesn't like the smell of mutton, so it's really hard for him to roast whole lamb on this table.
Chen Jian'an couldn't see the embarrassment on his face, he picked up the chopsticks and calmly pushed the cup with Zhang Heng and the others.
This banquet is the wind, not about business.
"Although our Lingnan is a little barren, we also have a lot of our own food and beauties, and the adults are finally here, so it's better to enjoy it first, and then talk about other things."
Zhang Heng glanced at Jiang Fu as he spoke, and then clapped his hands.
A dozen women with bodies surrounded by only one animal skin walked in.
Their arms, shoulders, and calves were all exposed, and the hides surrounding their bodies were of different colors, ranging from white fox skins to gray wolf skins, and a woman with unusually fair skin compared to the others wrapped around a spotted tiger skin.
Their hair is scattered behind them, only a hosta is fixed, compared to the soft hair of the women in the capital, the hair of the Lingnan women is more black and thick, scattered behind, like a waterfall, which has a unique beauty.
Zhang Heng's gaze lingered on several people, and then said to Chen Jian'an with a smile:
"This is a gift specially prepared by the lower officials for Lord Chen, although the Lord chooses the one he likes to bring back, it is all trained, and it is guaranteed to be the best in the world that you have never experienced in the capital."
The words were said to Chen Jian'an, but his eyes kept looking at Jiang Fu's face.
Jiang Fu was going to be laughed at by him.
As soon as this straw bag came, I couldn't wait to go to the discord plan, use it, the means are still so shallow, as if people can't see it.
Jiang Fu patted Chen Jian'an, who was not very good-looking, with one hand, and stretched out his finger with the other hand to point at random.
"I think this, this, and all of them are good, if Lord Zhang is willing, he will bring them back to our family, right?"
Zhang Heng was stunned when he saw her actions, and it took a while to react, and said with a dry smile:
"Naturally, I am willing to do it."
Chen Jian'an picked up the wine glass and took a sip to hide the smile on the corner of his lips.
The county man laughed out loud and toasted everyone in an active atmosphere.
Chen Jian'an was not used to Lingnan wine, and after a few rounds of drinking, he got drunk.
Jiang Fu hurriedly beckoned someone to take him back to the house to rest.
When he got home, he first helped him wash and change his clothes, and then wiped his face himself, and then let people help him to the bed to rest.
Afraid that Chen Jian'an would choke himself to death by getting drunk and vomiting in the middle of the night, Jiang Fu didn't dare to close his eyes all night.
The people of the county government who don't know the truth all talk about how careful Mrs. is to the master, and she must be in love.
Jiang Fu didn't sleep much all night, and the whole person was sleepy.
She looked out the window at the slightly pale sky and smacked her lips.
When will these hard days come to an end?
The next morning, Chen Jian'an woke up with a splitting headache.
He is not addicted to alcohol, and he only drinks some sake with three or five friends in the capital, and last night he was afraid that they would think they were holding a shelf, so he could only sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman, but he didn't expect this wine to be so powerful.
He moved, and Jiang Fu in his arms was still asleep.
Xiangxiang arched softly into the crook of her arm, holding it very warmly.
She has a dark green underneath her eyes, and her little face is very pleasing when she sleeps red.
He touched Jiang Fu's hair, kissed her on the forehead, looked up at the sky outside, and got up and got off the ground lightly.
Then he quietly got dressed and pushed the door out.
The genius outside had just dawned, and Chen Jian'an asked for a bowl of hot porridge, and while gently stirring the porridge in the bowl, he invited the subordinates to what happened after he returned to the house yesterday.
After breakfast, he instructed the kitchen to keep the morning hot on the stove, and not to call Madame, but to wait until she had woken up before using the morning.
He changed into an official uniform and sat in a sedan chair and went to the yamen.
The officials who feasted with them yesterday also arrived early, but Zhang Heng was not there.
The county officials prepared their respective documents and files, and waited in line to hand over and report to Luo Weifeng.
By the time Jiang Fu got up, Chen Jian'an didn't know how long he had been gone.
She got up from the bed and didn't ask anyone to serve her, put on her jacket and skirt, then took the hairband on the table and tied a ponytail for herself, and went out with her ponytail to ask for water to wash.
She's got something to do today, too!
