This character, who is obviously a domestic servant, is also an official, except for Wang Gongchen, who knows Sun Qilang, everyone else is surprised. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info However, in this era, there are many people who have won officials because of Enyin, and Xu Ping's family is withered, and it is not uncommon for shade to be on the slaves of the family.

In fact, these people think badly, Sun Qilang's official position does not rely on Xu Ping's enyin, but a real credit. Whether he once participated in the war in Yongzhou, or went back to the capital to repair this and that for the palace, his official price was still low. In this small half a year, he was busy building a lot of things for the palace and gardens around the capital, and only then was he promoted from the third class to the third class.

Xu Ping, a Jinshi from a poor family, has a withered family population, and if he doesn't want to waste the place of grace, it is still very common to put the official shadow on the family slaves. The famous Xia Zhu took a slave surnamed Lu as an official, this surnamed Lu was greedy for money, and his wife gave birth on the way to the post, because only after the handover began to count the money sent, and he was forced to go on the road just after three days, and his wife died. Before her death, this wife wrote a poem on the wall of the post house to remember this event, and the white wall was covered with chanting, and later there were good deeds collected and published, called "Lu Nu Poems", which circulated for a while.

Xu Ping's family is because of the industry, all over the agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline fishery, industry and commerce, doing something at home than going out to be an official to get more money, and it is also relaxed, and the place of Enyin has been empty. Even Xu Chang would rather stay in the Xu family as a supervisor than go out to be an official, and the official status of being a small envoy is not as good as his head of the county mansion.

Now the two officials are high, Gao Daquan relies on his military exploits, Sun Qilang relies on his own skills, and the servants of the Xu family have really not taken advantage of the court as officials.

Zhuang Ke took the chair, and Sun Qilang sat down at the bottom.

Wang Gongchen whispered to everyone about Sun Qilang's success in the capital, and only a few people looked up to him. Those who can be invited by the palace to repair things several times must be master craftsmen. This master has an official and doesn't care about it, he would rather stay in the countryside and roar the landscape, and he has a little more superior demeanor, where did he think that Sun Qilang was just lazy and playful.

After chatting a few gossips, the villagers who worked in the fields came back one after another.

Lu Song walked up to Xu Ping and saluted: "Officials, the guests are back, there are enough people, it is better to move to the garden with the guests, this courtyard is too messy." Please tell me what you want to eat in the evening. ”

"Okay, get the car out. After a while, let Zhuang Ke slaughter a fat sheep, kill a few chickens, and send them to the garden when they are cooked. Remember that the lamb bones are boiled, the lamb is cut and washed, and it is roasted and eaten in the garden, and the chicken is boiled and half smoked. ”

Lu Song promised.

Sun Qilang said: "There is also a roe deer here, so fat, my brother let people cook it together!" ”

Lu Song looked at the roe deer on the ground, called two Zhuang guests, and carried them aside to clean up.

At this time, the sun was lying on the west mountain and only half of its face was exposed, and the cool breeze at night had risen, blowing on everyone's faces, with a special pastoral style.

The villagers who went out to work came back one after another, carrying various tools on their shoulders, with smiles on their faces, talking about the weather this year, what to plant, what harvest will be in the field, how much extra wages can be paid, and what they will eat for dinner today.

This is a scene that these young civil officials have never seen before, although they are all people who only read the books of sages and sages, and do not know the crops, they are also infected by this scene for a while, and their lives are full of hope and vitality.

Only Fang Kai and Uncle Cao Ying have served as magistrates for several terms, so they are not surprised by this. After running all the way, they were already hungry, and now they only wanted to swallow the whole sheep in their stomachs.

After a while, several bankers rode a few tricycles to the crowd and stopped neatly.

Wang Gongchen's eyes straightened, and he said to Xu Ping beside him: "In the village, we are taking this car?" A few days ago, it was only allowed for bachelor's degree or above to ride this kind of car in the imperial city, and now even Zai Zhi does not ride horses in the imperial city, and comes and goes instead of riding a car. I didn't expect that there are such good things in this Zhuangzi, and I can enjoy it! ”

According to the rules, only the prime minister can ride horses in the imperial city, and other officials can only walk in and out between the yamen. The first half of the imperial city is densely covered with all kinds of yamen, and it is said that it is close, and it is still necessary to walk several miles at every turn. There are many officials who can still walk, especially like Sheng Du, it is difficult to bend over. On a daily basis, everyone sits in their own yamen official hall, and rarely goes out to other yamen.

The tricycle business has been in business for many years, and the market has not been large, only some wealthy families have bought it back to travel at home, and basically have not ridden it to the street.

The reason is also simple, the streets of Kaifeng, the lively place is crowded, and it is difficult for this car to go. And if you clear the road with the guide and the guard of honor, the car doesn't know how to dress according to the regulations, and it can't get up or down.

Unless otherwise specified, officials are required to ride horses, and women are allowed to ride in vehicles. If the official takes the car, it will be difficult to lead the guide to the guard of honor, and there is no one to clear the road, and the road will not be crowded to death.

When Xu Ping came back last year, some people remembered that the Xu family still made this kind of car, and some officials who were either old or physically inconvenient wrote to ask that they be used in the imperial city. The most energetic is naturally Shengdu, walking is a great burden for him, and it is good to be able to take one step less. This matter was discussed several times in the Taichang Rite Academy, and finally felt that it was very different from the sedan chair and the like, so it was allowed to take the bachelor and above in the imperial city, and it was unified under the management of the imperial city.

Xu Ping's family's industry has risen, and he doesn't rely on this car to make money. However, now this kind of car has become a status symbol, so more than a dozen cars have been specially made, which are placed in Zhongmu Manor and Wanshengmen Waifu to pull guests to play.

Seeing the car coming, Sun Qilang hurriedly stood up, rubbed his hands, and said to Xu Ping: "The official gets in the car, and I will ride to the garden." I haven't ridden this bike in years, and I still miss it. ”

Xu Ping said with a smile: "Don't mess around, you are also an official of the imperial court now, and your identity is not as good as before, just sit on the car obediently and let the Zhuang Ke ride." ”

"This little official, it's just that, but it sounds better to bring it on you, and the mother-in-law at home is happy. My wealth is all given by the government, what is there to pedal a car! Although I eat and drink well now, I am much lonely, far less relaxed than the carefree days with Gao Daquan in the village! ”

Sun Qilang said as he climbed into the car cleanly, held the handlebars tightly, and looked back at Xu Ping.

remembered that this car had just been there, and he was still competing with Xu Chang and Gao Daquan for the position of sitting in the front of the car. In the blink of an eye, Gao Daquan has become a general with troops, Xu Chang is in charge of the Xu family's countless industries in the capital, only he is left, and he is still unrestrained in this manor, living happily, and the circumstances of life are really unpredictable.
