Chapter 12: Playing with My Birds

Coming out of the school, it was not early, and Zhao Gongzi was tired.

refused to leave Yu Jiachang to stay for dinner, and prepared to go home.

Zhao Gongzi, who has always been considerate of his subordinates, gave the men in Caijia Lane a holiday, so that they could get together with their families.

Gao Wu refused to leave, and it was not until the guards dispersed that he held back a sentence and said, "Childe's side, there can't be no one to protect him." ”

"Cheng, then let your father go with us." Zhao Hao never persuaded anyone, so he nodded and smiled at Gao Laohan: "Uncle, how about going to work with my father?" ”

"Of course the old man is willing, but the Ordnance Bureau won't let him leave Nanjing City." Old Man Gao smiled bitterly.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Zhao Hao is the supervisor of the Nanjing Ordnance Bureau, so it should be okay to have two people.

After arranging the two of them, he smiled at Qiaoqiao again: "Then you can stay at home for a few days with peace of mind." ”

Qiaoqiao was anxious at first, then happy, and finally gave him a blank look.

It was so vague that I almost thought he was going to get rid of himself again......

Zhao Hao asked Secretary Ma, who was standing with Qiaoqiao, again: "People are here, what are you doing here?" ”

"The house rented by the slave family is also here." Secretary Ma blinked and said, "It's only due next month." ”

"Don't be lazy, I still have a lot of books for you to copy!" Zhao Hao tilted his head and motioned for her to hurry up and get into the car.

The domineering and unreasonable look made the corners of Ma Xianglan's mouth slightly upturned, and it was called an ironing in her heart.

Qiaoqiao originally planned to fight for Sister Xianglan, but when she saw this, she stopped talking.

"Hey, with such a father-in-law, I can only accept my fate......" Secretary Ma got into the carriage with a distressed face.

Well, the prisoners, like Xiucai, are all honorific. Don't think crookedly.

~~

Sure enough, it was a rainy season, and that night, it began to rain.

The next morning, when I ate, I still didn't want to stop.

Zhao Hao was eating with his uncle, and he was chatting with each other.

I saw that my father was dressed neatly and yawned and walked out.

"What, I didn't sleep well last night?" The uncle hurriedly scooped a bowl of porridge for his younger brother.

"It's been a long time since I've drunk so much." Zhao Shouzheng looked like he had a hangover and said, "I have a headache." ”

Zhao Hao rolled his eyes, he was carried on the boat in Yangzhou the day before yesterday......

"Then let's have a good day off today." Zhao Shouye persuaded.

"No." Fan Datong shook his head and replied for Zhao Shouzheng: "After all, my brother was demoted and released, and he came back quietly." There was such a big battle yesterday, and if I don't report to the ministry today, I'm afraid I will be talked about. ”

"Yes." Zhao Shouye took a sip and said: "The more idle the officials in Nanjing, the more problems they have, and they rely on blindly tossing people to show their existence. ”

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Shouzheng relieved himself at this time, took a bite of porridge and said: "Lao Tzu is not even afraid of the court staff, are you still afraid of them tossing?" ”

Zhao Hao rolled his eyes again when he heard this, someone else stamped you, okay? If it's true, you won't be able to get out of bed until now.

After breakfast, Zhao Shouzheng, accompanied by Fan Datong and that person, sat on a blue sedan chair carried by four people, and rushed towards the imperial city under the heavy rain.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, Zhao Hao asked Secretary Ma to cancel the trip, and went back to the room to sleep after eating.

Anyway, before my father finishes his work, he has to live in Nanjing for a while, so he is not in a hurry.

~~

Whether it is a county or a prefect, local officials do not directly take office in their own jurisdictions.

You have to report to the provincial capital first, complete all the formalities at the political secretary and the yamen of the judge, and then meet with the governor, the political envoy, the envoy and other bigwigs, and get the approval of the officials before going to work.

If you are a magistrate, you have to go to the government to meet the prefect and the same boss again.

How can you not worship the dock and go directly to your own territory to make a fortune? Do you think the shoes fit too well and want to change to a smaller pair to wear?

Of course, Nanzhili does not have three divisions and yamen, but is directly governed by the six departments of Nanjing. Governor Yingtian also happened to be in Nanjing, so the wharves that should be worshipped were not reduced, but there were more.

Even if Zhao Erye has the ability to make money, it will take half a month to come down this time, and it may take even longer......

He sat in a sedan chair from Taipingli to Chongli Street, and after passing through Hongwu Gate, he turned onto Qinglong Street, where Nanjing Zongrenfu and Nanjing Wubu were located.

That's right, to the west of Hongwu Gate, there is also a White Tiger Street, which is where the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies in Nanjing is located.

The green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right guard the Nanjing Palace of the Ming Dynasty......

Emperor Taizu's design is old and domineering.

The sedan chair went up Qinglong Street, and soon fell at the entrance of the Nanguan Department.

Fan Datong lifted the sedan curtain, Fang Wen held an umbrella, and served Zhao Shouzheng to get off the sedan chair.

Looking at the gate of the Southern Officials' Department, Zhao Shouzheng couldn't help but smile and said: "There is also a benefit to coming today, there are few people." ”

"No, there aren't many people in normal times." I heard the old army at the gate of the yamen sneer.

"Uh......" Second Master Zhao was speechless for a while. The heart said that the power of the other five departments in Nanjing is still greater, but the Southern Officials Department, the head of these six departments, has a pitiful small power.

Because the power to appoint and dismiss officials throughout the country is under the control of Beijing, the Nanjing Ministry of Officials is only responsible for the external inspection of officials in Nanzhili only once every six years.

So when Fan Datong presented a door bag of two taels of silver, the old soldier who guarded the door directly let them enjoy an over-standard treatment - enter the gatehouse and wait for tea.

If it is in the Beijing Ministry of Officials, only the three rank officials can have this treatment. Even if the prefect of Sipin comes, I'm sorry, there are not so many people in the gatehouse, please wait in line at the door.

The waiting time is also much shorter than in Beijing.

After a while, the old soldier came back with an umbrella and smiled at Zhao Shouzheng: "This lord, please come with me." ”

"There is labor." Zhao Shouzheng nodded and followed the old army inside.

Along the long corridor, you will come to the right side of the second hall, the slightly dilapidated right attendant Yamen. The old soldier turned back to him and grinned, "My lord, please come in, Uncle Shaozong is waiting for you." ”

Zhao Shouzheng wondered in his heart, it was said that he could register with the Anthology Division, why did he still need the right attendant of the labor hall?

Nanjing officials are idle, but they are not nosy.

Fortunately, Zhao Erye didn't get to the bottom of the problem, so he quietly followed him into the Shilang Ya, and passed through the second hall of the lobby to the third hall.

As soon as I entered, I saw an official in his fifties wearing a third-grade official robe, who was engrossed in teasing the bird in the cage.

The book of the flowers, the waiter who walks the birds, this is very in line with the characteristics of Nanjing City.

And this squire has carried forward the cause of playing birds to the extreme.

Everyone is playing with one bird, and at most three or five are at the end. He was actually facing more than a hundred bird cages by himself.

In the three halls, a whole eight ropes were pulled up and hung to the brim!

What thrushes, starlings, parrots, orioles, larks......

Zhao Erye looked at it and said in his heart, good guy, is this coming to Bird City?

No, it's more than what is sold at the bird market.

It's really a birdsong and chirp, and the dung is smoking......

The old soldier who led the way was accustomed to this encounter, and knew that the squire would forget about his birds, so he did not say a word, and quietly withdrew.
