Jing Xingzhi's ancient daily life

Entering the courtyard near the Zhang family, the person is a former member of the Zhang family.

Why did you say once?

On the day Zhang Kaiwei and Zhu Da fell into the water, Zhu Da was "thrown" to death by Zhang Kaiwei. The servants of Zhu's family were worried about their own lives, so they desperately held Zhang Kaiwei, and quickly invited Zhu Da's parents.

Zhu Da is the only child in the family, and the whole family loves him together, which also shows his weight in the hearts of the Zhu family.He is dead, how can the Zhu family let Zhang Kaiwei go?Master Zhu didn't even wait for the officials to come over, and directly promised wealth and well-being for the rest of his life, and let his loyal servant hit Zhang Kaiwei on the head with two sticks, beating him to death.

When Ning Yongyuan, who was in a bad mood, delayed for a while and got off the boat, Zhang Kaiwei was already dead.He also had to stay for a few more days to deal with what happened because of Zhang Kaiwei and Zhu Da's death.Anyway, Zhang Kaiwei had received him for a few days, and the accident happened on his boat.

The news was sent to Zhang's family. As soon as Zhang Mingwen dropped the cup in anger, his stepwife came to him crying and advised him not to offend the young master of Zhenyuanhou's mansion.Zhang Mingwen thought about it before and after, and in the end he had to suffer this dull loss, and he couldn't even take revenge on Zhu's family, because Zhu's family gave birth to a concubine.

As for the people left by Zhang Kaiwei, Zhang Mingwen does not have the air traffic controller. Those who can go back to the Zhang family will go back to the original family.On the other hand, Ning Yongyuan suddenly thought of these people, bought a few, and let them stare at Huanshui Academy.On the pretext of paying attention to Fang Qichen, the elder Fang who is in the emperor's heart, Jing Xingzhi, by the way, asked these servants to send a message to Ning Yongyuan for something important.

Watching Jing Xingzhi go away, he found out that Jing Xingzhi was going to Hannan. Those servants who were grateful to Ning Yongyuan for taking them in wrote down the news tremblingly, and sent it to the gold shop of Zhenyuanhou's Mansion in the middle of the Hanbei Mansion. .

At the beginning of the afternoon (three o'clock).

The boat arrived at the pier in Fucheng, Hannan Prefecture.

Wang Zhuang directed people to look after the luggage, and hired a few people to carry the luggage to the carriage.

Jing Xingzhi looked at Wang Zhuang's arrangements, and then at his empty hands, thinking that the buds of capitalism are indeed more enjoyable than socialism.However, Jing Xingzhi is also used to this feeling of not having to worry about anything. After all, he has been enjoying the blessings since he was born, and the life he enjoys is beyond the imagination of many people.

Jing Xingzhi sat in the carriage and looked at the list of Hannan Mansion personnel sent by Wang Zhuang.

The name on the top was Cheng Wei, who was also the person Fang Qichen told him to treat politely. He was the magistrate of a prefecture, and his subordinates were in charge of the entire Hannan Prefecture.

Cheng Wei's name came down to be the name of his trusted master and the head of the sixth house of the government office, each with details such as temperament and preferences.

While watching, Jing Xing raised his head and glanced at Wang Zhuang who was sitting in front of the carriage.

He thought to himself: This brother Zhuang is not an ordinary person, he can inquire about this kind of official affairs so clearly.Jing Xingzhi couldn't help wondering if Fang Qichen was still taking care of other things for the emperor, otherwise it would be a waste of what Wang Zhuang could do.And if Wang Zhuang didn't know much about officialdom, it wouldn't be so easy to find these things for him on the road.

Jing Xingzhi memorized the names on the paper silently, then closed his eyes and sorted them out in order.After reciting the first piece of paper, he put the second piece of paper in the front row. On this piece of paper, there were people who needed attention besides the government office. There were friends of his teacher Fang Qichen, and aristocratic families from Hannan Prefecture and them. The strength of the people behind it allowed Jing Xingzhi to take the situation of the entire Hannan Mansion into his heart with a single piece of paper.

The horse's hooves stomped, and with the sound of the groom's "wow", it stopped at the back door of the mansion.

It is said to be the back door, because the front of the government office is the hall, which is also the place where the magistrate handles affairs. That place is not a passage for horses and horses with the same surname at will, and even the magistrate's family members come in and out through the back door for nothing.

Wang Zhuang sent someone to deliver the news earlier, and to show his solemnity, Cheng Wei also went to the back door in casual clothes before the carriage arrived, and brought his wife and young son with him.

Cheng Wei's wife, Xu Zhongqi, is a slightly fat woman with a plump body. She looked at her handsome husband with some puzzlement: "Master, a junior, why do you still come to greet him in person? Just let Huaner greet him."

Cheng Huan waved the fan in his hand with a playful smile: "That's right, Dad, just let me pick it up."

Cheng Wei slapped Cheng Huan on the head: "You stupid bastard, he is a disciple of the master, and I am of the same generation. Letting you pick it up, what does it sound like? When you meet someone, just call him honestly." uncle."

Cheng Huan pursed his mouth, and his face was full of grievances. He muttered, "He is only a few years older than me. Fortunately, my brother is not here. Otherwise, how could you make my brother scream?"

So Cheng Huan took Xu Zhongqi again: "Why are you talking to your father? Don't make fun of your brother."

Cheng Huan drooped his head, stared at the ground, gritted his teeth, made a face, and then raised his head to look left and right as if nothing had happened.

Cheng Huan had just finished playing men's and women's doubles when Jing Xingzhi's carriage arrived.

Cheng Wei brought his family to meet him.

Jing Xing got off the carriage, and saw a middle-aged man in casual clothes coming with his wife and belt, and bowed his hands: "Is it Mr. Cheng? Thank you Yuan Ying, I'm so polite!"

"My dear brother, you are welcome. How is Master Fang Zuo? I heard that he has returned to the academy recently, but his health has improved a lot?" Cheng Wei stretched out his hand to support Jing Xingzhi, smiling like a spring breeze.

Jing Xingzhi replied with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Cheng, for your concern. The teacher is well, and I will hold a class once in a while."

"Hey, what's your name, Mr. Cheng?" Cheng Wei raised his face dissatisfied with the floor, and introduced: "This is your sister-in-law. If you need anything in the past two months, just send someone to find her. This is my son, named Cheng Huan, who loves to play. Yes, like a monkey."

"Hello brother."

"Hello, Uncle Jing."

Xu Zhongqi's address did not arouse Jing Xingzhi's reaction, but Cheng Huan's uncle call made Jing Xingzhi tremble, as if he was really ten years older.

But when he thinks that he is going to be a father soon, he deserves to be called uncle.Jing Xingzhi took off the purse from his waist that contained the little gold nudes: "It's the first time I've seen you, Ah Huan, please don't dislike me."

Cheng Huan was dumbfounded, is this person so thick-skinned?Call yourself, you dare to answer? !

Jing Xingzhi didn't care to pay attention to such a villain, so after giving the meeting gift, he started talking with Cheng Wei.

One of the two had intentions, the other had intentions, and they talked very kindly.

Xu Zhongqi went to help Wang Zhuang arrange Jing Xingzhi's luggage.

When Cheng Huan saw that the adults were busy, he flinched and ran away. He was impatient to mess with these people.

******

Two quarters of an hour later, Jing Xingzhi returned to the Zhixin Courtyard that Cheng's family arranged for him in the government office; at the same time, Xu Zhongqi also returned to the main courtyard, Yong'an Courtyard.

Cheng Wei asked: "Ma'am, what kind of personality do you think this person is?"

Xu Zhongqi looked at his plain white fingers: "At first glance, he was fine, but he had a lot of luggage. I heard that he came from a poor family, but I don't think so, he has a good bearing, I can't see allow."

"It's okay if you don't know for sure, anyway, he will be around the sixth room later, so we don't need to worry about it. We just need to make arrangements." Cheng Wei stroked his beautiful beard, and his eyes were not angry but powerful.

But Xu Zhongqi said: "That old man is really so capable? I heard that I have been begging for ten years, so don't waste your efforts when you look back. If you have this skill, it is better to arrange for Huanhuan to practice for a while."

"Huanhuan's temper, what experience did he have? Eat and drink for the rest of his life, anyway, his brother will take care of him."

When the two couples mentioned this, the harmony gradually disappeared, and the sense of alienation that they couldn't talk to each other slowly came up.

Xu Zhongqi didn't know what to think of, turned his body sideways and wept silently.

Cheng Wei sighed helplessly: "Ma'am, I'll tell you the truth. Huanhuan is not my own son, even if Yu Le is a jerk, it still weighs more in my heart." Cheng Yule is the legitimate son of Cheng Wei and his ex-wife.

Cheng Huan was brought by Xu's family, actually Xu Zhongqi's nephew.But since he was hugged since childhood, not many people know about it.

When Xu Zhongqi heard this, his heart was cut like a knife: "If it weren't for him, my son would be fine! Now that Huanhuan is my son, why can't I treat Huanhuan like a parent!"

Cheng Wei felt guilty when he heard this, and kept silent.Xu Zhongqi married him later, and she was pregnant with a boy after entering the door, but Cheng Yule bumped him into him. After such a bump, the six-month-old fetus died immediately after birth. Xu Zhongqi also lost the ability to have children, so he had to be carried from his natal family. One as parent and child.

Xu Zhongqi felt that Cheng Yule did it on purpose, but Cheng Wei felt that Cheng Yule was not very old at that time, how could a child be so vicious.The two insisted on each other, Xu Zhongqi couldn't find evidence, and Cheng Wei was the head of the family, Xu Zhongqi only earned Cheng Huan the title of son-in-law.

Thinking of the events back then, Xu Zhongqi felt resentment in his heart, his crying eyes were full of numbness and emptiness.

In the bosom courtyard.

Jing Xingzhi soaked his feet first, then opened the good papers of previous years' township examinations given by Fang Qichen and read them, focusing on policy topics.

Cheng Wei treated him well and asked him to come back to rest first and have dinner with Cheng's family in the evening, and then after dinner we would talk about how he honed himself in the government office for two months.

Jing Xingzhi was very curious about the ancient officialdom, but he had to obediently listen to Cheng Wei's arrangements on how to handle specific matters.I think there will be a lot of gains, otherwise Fang Qichen would not have arranged for him to come here and spend two months before the provincial examination.

Jing Xingzhi read the theory of the policy, and asked his servants to call him two quarters of an hour before dinner, and then took a short break.

As a result, just after sleeping for a while before the hour, the servants woke up Jing Xingzhi in a panic: "Young Master Jing, wake up! Something happened!"

Jing Xingzhi opened his eyes, stood up, and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me clearly, don't panic."

The servant looked young and innocent, with a mournful face, and said in an anxious and fearful tone: "The eldest son of the Cheng family is dead, Brother Zhuang asked me to call you! And...and that Master Cheng actually put The clues found us and came to the house, but we just came here today, who did you provoke?!"
