Ding Tian's Ancient Life

Ding Tian divided the place. Once he entered, it was naturally a place to receive foreign guests. The first east and west rooms he entered were all tea rooms, where snacks were made.

Erjin is where Ding Tian eats and lives.

Logically speaking, Sanjin should be the inner house, a place for the female relatives to settle down, but Dingtian has no female relatives, so he doesn't settle down at all, and it has become a place for him to sleep, but... Sanjin's master bedroom belongs to him and Wang Zuo. I didn't leave anyone to take care of me here, I just cleaned it on weekdays.

The back room was originally arranged for maids to live in... There is only one maid in their family, Ma Xiaohua, and it is not suitable for her to live in that row of back rooms by herself, and she would be afraid by herself.

Therefore, the back cover room was changed into a warehouse, a granary, a money bank and a utility room.

The first cross courtyard has become a guest courtyard, and that guest courtyard has a second entrance, even if there are female relatives, they can live there.

The other cross-courtyard was allocated by Ding Tian to the Ma family: "Anyway, there aren't too many guests coming here. It's just right for your family to live there. In the future, I can find a wife for Xiaofeng... and I can live there."

There are also many places across the courtyard.

"Okay, it can also be used as a drying yard, there is room for drying vegetables and so on." Ma Liujia's arrangement is clear: "You can also put a sauce jar outside."

"Yeah." Ding Tian pointed to Jin Buhuan next door and said, "Your house is next door."

"Okay, then I'll go." Jin Buchang's house is right next to Ding Tian's house. It has the same three courtyards, only one cross courtyard, and also has a back garden.

It's not as wide as Ding Tian's house, but it's the same length, and the two families are neighbors.

Jin Buhuan's house had the word "Golden Mansion" hanging on it, gold characters on a black background, signed with the king's seal of "King Ning", just like Ding Tian's, even if Jin Buhuan didn't have any official position, it was also covered by His Highness King Ning. Dare to move him.

There were no servants in Jinbuchang's family, but when the second girl from the Ma family married, she brought her servants with her. This time, she brought all of them with her when she went to Beijing.

There are also three carriages, luggage and so on, but they didn't bring much food. Although there are full tanks of rice, bags full of noodles, and a lot of vegetables and meat prepared by the people of the palace at home, it's just that this is always It was prepared by others, and they had to purchase some things by themselves.

Therefore, Ding Tian and Jin Buhuan went out, and Ma Liu and Ma Da each drove a carriage to follow^

Ma Da is the servant brought by the second girl Ma, the coachman, who can also repair the carriage, and the whole family's contract of sale is held in the hands of the second girl Ma.

And they were all very happy to be able to come to the capital with them.

Opposite the intersection of Ding Tian's street, there is a small market with a lot of things to buy. In the capital city, even a small market has a complete range of things.

It is also a place where nearby people often go shopping.

After I bought some things and went back, I heated up the stove at night. The newly bought big carp was braised in soy sauce. It tasted delicious.

After eating and drinking, Ding Tian went out and wandered around his home. I have to say that this place is indeed very nice, a small house, but all the people living here are families with minor titles, the population is not large, and it is not noisy.

Similarly, it can be regarded as a high-end compound, and no neighbors go out to see what's new, to see what's going on, and everyone is a person of status.

He went out again the next day and took a closer look. Ding Tian couldn't help but sigh with Jin Buhuan: "After all, it is the capital of a country. This place is different from ours."

"Can it be the same? Our side is a small border area." Jin Buhuan also thought that Beijing and Central were very good, and the roads alone were even better than Beichong Mansion.

The road surface of Beichong Mansion is paved with gravel, and it is a bit painful to walk on.

However, the roads in the capital city are lined with bluestone strips. The wide road surface has a longer lifespan than cement, but bluestone strips are something that will not rot for ten thousand years.

But in the capital, the regular streets are paved with bluestone strips, and the small alleys are paved with red bricks.No matter it is raining or snowing, there are people cleaning the streets. The roads paved with bluestone slabs are very comfortable for people to walk or pass by.

After wandering around the door of my house for a few days, I finally became familiar with my own place.

After Ding Tian and Jin Buhuan settled down, the two families also rested for a few days. Ding Tian took his resume and official badge and went to the official office.

unit.

Although his official position is not high, he has a title and went to the Ministry of Officials to change his transfer order.

The Ministry of Officials is the organ that manages civilian officials. It is in charge of the system of ranking and selection, the method of examining and dismissing officials, the code of conferring rewards, and the system of final registration.

The law.

There are four divisions under the Ministry of Officials:

Selected Works of Qing Officials Division, Seal Inspection Division, Jixun Division and Kaogong Division.

Wenxuan Qingli is in charge of examining the grades of civil posts, listing, examining, selecting, promoting, and handling monthly selections.

There is also a full-time seal inspection department in charge of knighting.

Shifu, kindness, difficulty, request for seals, donations and other matters.The Division of Jixun is in charge of civil servants' keeping system, end-of-life support, succession, naturalization, and restoration of names and surnames of officials.

The Kaogong Division is in charge of the punishment and discussion of civil officials, and handles the Beijing inspection and major plans.

But Ding Tian didn't quite understand what was going on here, and found the wrong place. Fortunately, Yuanwailang, who was in charge of the promotion, from the official position of the sixth rank, gave Ding Tian advice, and Ding Tian changed the transfer order. He stuffed the purse containing four taels of gold to the man: "Thank you, if you have anything to do in the future, just come to Guizhi Street, Osmanthus Alley, Dingshi Yunqiwei Mansion to look for me, my name is Ding Tian!"

That Yuanwailang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, the next official knows."

Ding Tian is the chief prison officer of the Ministry of Punishment of the sixth rank, and he is an official of the sixth rank, one level lower than Ding Tian.

After being very grateful, Ding Tian got a ten-day vacation, let him settle down at home, and took office on October [-]st.

At this time, it was already very cold.

Ding Tian dressed warmly, got into the carriage waiting for him outside, and returned home.

At this time, they still followed the habit in the Northeast, eating two meals, so dinner should be earlier, stewed goose with sauerkraut, a large pot of stew, enough for the whole family to eat.

Ding Tian only had a scrambled egg with soy sauce, a lot of miso, and dried radish, he ate it with this dipping sauce.

While eating, Wang Fugui is here!

"Have you eaten yet?" Ding Tian called out to him, "Eat something?"

"I'm not hungry yet, this is for you." Wang Fugui gave Ding Tian a gold-rimmed post: "Take this tomorrow, and take something casually to the palace to meet the prince."

The prince has been in the palace for the past two days, and his temper is short-tempered.

The concubine's face has been cut three or five times, but it made her feel so aggrieved.

"Oh, should I prepare a post or something?" Ding Tian looked at the post, it was so beautifully done, and it was sprinkled with gold powder.

"It's useless for you to have greeting cards! The door of the Wangfu receives not one thousand, but eight hundred invitation cards every day. When you hand in the invitation cards, they are also thrown aside and left ashes. Fate, let's use this, this is the name card of the prince, you can enter the gate of the palace with this thing." Wang Fugui said: "You have been here for a few days, you should also visit the palace, the prince these few days Ri misses you very much and has a big temper."

"I know, I miss him a little too." Ding Tian put down his chopsticks and took out something from the cabinet at the top of the kang: "Brother Fugui, please give this to him."

The box was tightly wrapped, and Wang Fugui didn't know what was inside, but he was very happy that Tian'er could give the prince something, and it was worth the prince's concern for him.

He didn't eat here, so he went back to the palace.

The atmosphere in the palace has always been dignified and majestic, but Wang Fugui, who has been outside for three years, really doesn't like the palace.

Atmosphere.

When the prince is outside, he still talks and laughs, but in the palace, he is the prince, and he must be majestic, so the prince is a

An ice cube face.

After Wang Fugui came back, he got into the study, and handed the box to Wang Zuo respectfully: "My lord, the gift from Lord Ding

"

Hearing that it was given by Ding Tian, ​​Wang Zuo's face became warmer, and he took the things over, and asked Wang Fugui to go to the door to check. He opened it when there was no one in the room.

Inside is a piece of sapphire with a little red in it. The material of this jade tablet is ordinary, but there is a naturally formed "

The word "Zuo" is very coincidentally adapted to Wang Zuo's name.

When Ding Tian was shopping near his home, he saw it in a jade store, and he fell in love with it immediately. After buying it, he wanted to give it to Wang Zuo.

It's just that everyone is very busy in Beijing, and he is busy familiarizing himself with the territory. Wang Zuo... probably busier than him, right?

People can't see it, so I can only ask someone to give him something to comfort the lovesickness.

Wang Zuo touched the jade tablet, feeling warm in his heart. Even in this cold palace, there are people who miss him outside.That night, Wang Zuo was in a good mood, and when he was in a good mood, he went to pay his respects to Princess Ning.

Although it's a bit late to say hello tonight, but who made his good brother come back today!

However, when Wang Zuo went to Ci'an Hall, he didn't see his good brother. The reason given by Princess Ning was: "It's so late, your brother has already gone to bed, and I have to rest. If the prince has nothing to do, go Take a rest, it's been a tiring day." The meaning in the words is very simple, come so late, what kind of Ann are you asking for?

How else can I say that Wang Zuo hates his stepmother?

Every time we meet, eight out of ten sentences have traps, and there are several traps waiting for Wang Zuo to say anything casually.

First ^ Please Ann is late.

The second is to disturb the aunt's rest.

The third one is that the elder brother doesn't even care that the younger brother has already rested, so why bother?

In short, the three traps in this passage are all accusing Wang Zuo and saying that he is wrong.

Wang Zuo didn't say anything, just stood there, stroking the jade token given to him by Ding Tian in his hand, but looked at Mrs. Ning coldly.

concubine.

Concubine Ning's heart skipped a beat, don't get me wrong, it's not because Wang Zuo is handsome, but because she was scared!

Not to mention the look in this look of Concubine Ning, a female family member who does not leave the gate of the back house, even those old fritters in the officialdom will be terrified.

"What are you looking at?" Princess Ning finally couldn't help it anymore, her face turned blue, and her voice was sharp: "Am I wrong? What do you want to do when you come here so late? Your brother is still young, and I have no one to rely on. You want to bully our mothers... the former king! Look at the good son you raised!"

Yep, I'm crying right now.

Wang Zuo said lightly: "Let the second master go to the ancestral hall tomorrow, kneel down to worship the late king, and pray for the late king, one day."

"Uh...!" Princess Ning was stunned.

The ancestral hall of the Wangfu is very grand, and it was built under the supervision of the Ministry of Rites, showing the shape of "日".

As soon as you enter, there is a lobby, which is the place where the clan handles affairs, gathers, and gathers for worship.

The second entrance to the main room is dedicated to the statue of the first generation of His Royal Highness King Ning.

The three entrances are the spiritual seats of the successive kings and concubines of Ning.

In the wing room once you enter, enshrined are the personal entourages of the princes who have made meritorious service in the past, and it can also be said to be the spiritual tablets of those who have made contributions to Prince Ning's mansion.The second-entry wing room is the spiritual seat of the Pangzhi people.

The third entry is the spiritual seat of the direct descendants of the past dynasties.

But no matter how well behaved there is, no matter how bright the ever-burning lamp is lit... that can't dispel the darkness, because it's an ancestral hall!

Even if someone often cleans and burns incense, the majestic and cold atmosphere is unbearable to anyone, let alone chanting scriptures and worshiping there... Her son is her lifeblood!

When Princess Ning was about to open her mouth to cry, Wang Zuo added another sentence: "If you cry, let him stay in the ancestral hall for one more day.

"

Princess Ning immediately shut up!

Because she is a female family member, even if she is a concubine, she cannot enter the main room of the ancestral hall for the second time, and the place Wang Zuo arranged for his younger brother is the main room for the third man, facing the spiritual seats of King Ning and Princess Wang of all dynasties... ...Recite scriptures and worship well.

After speaking, Wang Zuo left gracefully.

Concubine Ning was left with a dejected expression on her face...
