"Sixth, when I went down to the field yesterday, a scarecrow suddenly burned, which scared me. ”

"No, it's because the straw is too dry, and maybe it's some rabbit cub who is mischievous......

"I don't know. ”

"No matter what, Gongzi will soon be out of office and become an official in Ningzhou. Since then, our Chenjiazhuang has also been a place where officials have been. ”

"Haha, yes, the village chief explained that he asked us to help prepare and open a banquet, I heard that a senior official from the state capital is coming to the banquet......"

The two peasants talked, smiling, and returned from the field.

......

In the study of the house, Chen Tang was sitting. On the desk, the letter of appointment was quietly placed. The tone of the above wording was more urgent, and he wanted to leave for Nanfu County within ten days after receiving the documents. The former county magistrate of Nanfu County is waiting for his arrival, and then the handover will be carried out.

On the side of the document, there is a box, which is quite square. What was contained inside was a seal, indicating Chen Tang's identity.

This seal is not an official seal, and the official seal can only be obtained after it is handed over to Nanfu County.

Almost all official seals are unique and exclusive. Outside of the original seal, forgery is not allowed, which is a serious crime of murder.

The ten-day preparation time is indeed relatively tight, and when the banquet is completed, it will be almost over.

From Panzhou Mansion to Ningzhou, the journey is long, which can be called thousands of mountains and rivers, and it is farther than going to the capital to catch the exam. In the case of inconvenient transportation, even if you go to become an official, it is a chore.

But this time, Chen Tang was already prepared. The horse is raised, and it is still a different rouge horse, and it is no problem to use it to pull the cart. The elder companion should also choose two or three people, go down to the south of the Yangtze River together, and bring them to the yamen envoy. Wang Fu didn't want to go, so he stayed in the village and did all kinds of business. He is honest, his accounts are clean, not to mention anything else, the monthly income is all counted and purposeful.

So far, Chen Tang has already had a lot of money. Except for a part left for business, the rest are carried with you for later use.

As for Su Ling, Chen Tang thought twice and decided to take her to the post with him. Staying in Panzhou, a girl, without relatives, has a lot of inconvenience, and she can't rest assured. After all, this time I went to be an official, and my term of office started at three years, which is a long time.

When Su Ling heard this, he was very happy, and immediately began to pack his bags and other things, waiting to set off together.

When he received the documents, Chen Tang also thought about seeing if there was a change in official morale. However, after a long time, I found nothing.

Official qi can never be obtained out of thin air, he was admitted to Tanhualang, and his own rank was basically determined, and that wisp of official qi came into being, and was swallowed and assimilated by the qi of heaven and man. The current appointment document is nothing more than a process, and in essence, his official rank has not changed. Then, there will be no new official spirits.

Chen Tang thought again, after he went to Nanfu County, after the handover with the original county order was completed, and he got the official seal, would the seal contain official spirit?

If so, does it have a damaging effect on the mark after extraction?

It seems that this problem will not be clarified until after taking office.

Regarding the problem of packing for his appointment, Chen Tang decided to travel lightly, mainly with money. If you have money to go all over the world, why bother with big boxes and small bags, with cumbersome? Books and other things, you have to bring them, the four treasures of the study, the flower pen, the frog inkstone, the paperweight, etc., all of them are extraordinary, belong to the treasures, and do not leave the left and right. However, those books were all left in the study, and the contents of the books had long been remembered by Chen Tang.

But in this world, books themselves are a kind of wealth, which is useful to keep. It can be packed into a camphor wood box and kept.

After packing up, it was more than enough to put a book and Su Ling's box, which was more than enough to put in the carriage.

This carriage, which had been made long ago, was more than a foot long, spacious and sturdy.

When asking someone to build a carriage, Chen Tang put forward a lot of opinions, and he simply designed the carriage as an RV. The craftsman was stunned when he heard it, but it is undeniable that the effect after coming out is very good, and the functions are complete.

Most of all, comfort!

The materials used in the carriage, the wheels of the car, etc., do not hesitate to pay the wages, so as to be refined and well used.

There are also candidates for the followers, one is Su Ling's personal maid Ah Hua, and two are long with Ah Lai Ah Bao.

The chief attendant was in charge of sitting on the wheels and taking turns to catch the train, while the maid waited in the carriage.

With this arrangement, even if the journey is long, it will not be tired of coping.

Chen Tang clapped his hands, walked out, and came to the stable, but saw Su Ling inside, holding a wet wipe, helping the rouge horse to make the huge horse buttocks.

"Ah Ling, what are you doing?"

Su Ling was startled and replied: "Brother Bujin, you have to whip the horse with a horsewhip every day, and it is scarred, I can't bear to look at it, so I got some medicinal wine to help it apply." ”

As she spoke, she lowered her head and peeked at Chen Tang, afraid that he would be angry. After all, he beat the horse, but he came to help the horse to dress his wounds, isn't it a contrarian?

Chen Tang saw that the rouge horse was covered with wet wipes, and he looked like he was enjoying it, and he didn't break it, so he walked away. secretly said in his heart that Su Ling had established a good relationship with Rouge Horse, which was also good. If there is anything, the rouge horse may be able to take care of one or two.

Looking at his back, Su Ling quietly spit out his tongue, continued to help the rouge horse warm compress, and said in his mouth: "Ma'er, although I don't know why Brother Bujin beats you every day, I believe that he is by no means malicious." Brother Bujin is the best person in the world, he must have his reason for beating you. So horse, don't blame him for hating him. As long as you are safe and obedient, Brother Bujin will definitely not beat you again......"

"Yu!"

The rouge horse seemed to understand, and with a chirping and a long tail wagging - in the past few days, with the help of Chen Tang's whipping, the injuries in his body have improved considerably, and he has gradually recovered. I began to grow fat, my coat became shiny, and I was full of energy.

Such a change made Lao Xu, who was in charge of breeding, very puzzled, feeling that every time this horse was beaten by Chen Tang, he became more energetic.

In the world, are there any horses that like to be beaten?

On the third day, the feast began.

The whole Chenjiazhuang is decorated with lights, and the sound of firecrackers is as lively as the New Year.

The flowing water table is opened, groups of guests come, and there is no need to say more about all kinds of greeting etiquette.

Welcoming guests, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Chen Tang, as the protagonist, went into battle several times, but he was drunk and profligate, and chanted a song "Ten thousand gold bottles of sake, and ten thousand dollars of jade plate treasures", which won the applause of the audience.

The banquet lasted for three days, and then the song ended. The atmosphere of joy and abundance, as the crowd dispersed, was like a table full of leftovers, leaving a lot of chicken feathers.

On this day, the morning light was faint, and under the send-off of a group of clansmen and friends, the carriage began to rush to the south of the Yangtze River in the light of dawn.
