On the second day after the appointment of the political envoy Yamen, all the sons of the people went to work, went to Beijing, and returned to their hometowns, and they all scattered as birds and beasts. Xu Boyi was even more non-stop, and immediately packed up and went to Huxian.

In the past few days waiting for the political envoy Yamen to announce the results of the resettlement, the people invited each other and held banquets and drinks. In this era, the relationship between fellow villagers and the same year is an important part of the officialdom's connections, they are both the same year and the same year, they are congenitally closer than other officials, and they take care of each other in the future, which is an unbreakable relationship network.

However, Ye Xiaotian was not invited by other scholars, one is that he is not an orthodox scholar, and he has no contact with these people before, plus his temperament and conversation and behavior really don't look like a scholar, which is incompatible with these people.

More importantly, he offended Shilin leaders like Cui Xiangxian and officialdom bigwigs like Wang Haoming, although there are no traces of suppressing him at the moment, but it is better to stay away, based on officialdom, it is important to have connections and connections, and it is even more important to stand in line correctly or not.

As soon as these people leap into the dragon gate and pull out their heads from the sage's "Zhihu Ye", they will naturally be based on reality in their conduct and behavior, and they will pay more attention to practical interests in the things they think.

Ye Xiaotian didn't bother to deal with them, and he didn't mention it personally, and many of the conventions and rules in the field and officialdom were vague, so when he received the appointment of the political envoy Yamen, seeing that the date of his appointment was clearly stipulated, he immediately rushed to the carriage shop to rent a carriage, and the long-distance carriage had already been booked.

Ye Xiaotian had no choice but to leave, thinking as he walked, the time required by the political envoy Yamen to take office was so tight, not to mention that Hongfeng Lake had no time to go, and it became a problem if the carriage could not be booked and wanted to hurry, it seemed that he could only buy a few horses, but it was a long journey. Without a car, it has become a big problem to travel with Yaoyao, Fuwaer, and the big man.

Although Ye Xiaotian seems to be uninhibited, he can still distinguish which is more important, he is wanton and wild in Qiyun Pavilion, and beats Xie Chuanfeng angrily in front of the palace yamen, it is not about the most fundamental thing, if anyone wants to deal with him according to his own likes and dislikes, unless he doesn't want to fight, there is always a reason to talk about.

However, the official order of the government if it is violated or overdue. Then any disposition to him is justified, and he has no reason to defend it. He doesn't want to lose this hard-won official body, if his father and mother learn that his family has an official, I don't know how happy he will be, such a glorious event, he is just a young man who has just reached the age of a weak crown, and he is not an old man who has broken through the red dust and seen through the world, how can he not take it to heart?

Ye Xiaotian thought about it and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He was very happy to return to Huxian, not only there were his unforgettable memories, but also the first friend he made after leaving Beijing, but he was a little reluctant in his heart. Time is so tight, it's really difficult to go to Hongfeng Lake.

Ye Xiaotian thought all the way, and he was a little distracted, and walked out of the door of the Four Seas Carriage and Horse Shop. He touched his shoulder with the two people who were walking towards him. The man suddenly stood up and raised his voice to Ye Xiaotian, "Brother Ye Xian? ”

Ye Xiaotian stopped when he heard the sound and turned around to take a look. recognized this person as Zhao Wenyuan, who was in the same department as him. At the beginning of Qiyun Pavilion, this person had explained to him the content of the debate between Li Qiuchi, Xu Boyi and others, and later he fought with Xie Chuanfeng in front of the government yamen, and this person also came forward to persuade him, Ye Xiaotian had a good impression of him.

Ye Xiaotian hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be Brother Wenyuan, disrespectful, disrespectful." Ye Xiaotian said, glanced at the tall and beautiful woman standing beside Zhao Wenyuan, and said in his heart: "Could this woman be Zhao Wenyuan's wife?" ”

Sure enough, Zhao Wenyuan smiled and said, "Aha, it's really Brother Ye Xian." Madam, this Ye Xiandi is the same year as me, and he went to Huxian County to serve this time, and he will be a colleague in the future. Brother Ye Xian, this is the Humble Jing Qian Clan. ”

Ye Xiaotian hurriedly saluted: "Xiaotian has seen Mrs. Sister-in-law. ”

Qian Qingqing gave him a blessing and said coquettishly: "Brother Ye is exempt." ”

Qian Qingqing was originally on the shore of Shenshui Lake, a forbidden place for seedlings, and sang and danced with Bai Xiaoxiao in the tent, but there were many maids and dancers waiting in the tent that day, and they were all wearing thick dance makeup, which was very different from the appearance of Qingshui Hibiscus at this moment.

Although Ye Xiaotian does not have face blindness, he also does not have a good memory of "never forgetting half of his face", since that day, only Bai Xiaoxiao has been dealing with him, this Qian Qingqing has never shown his face again, and there is no feeling of familiarity at this time.

Zhao Wenyuan said: "Brother Ye Xian also came to rent a horse?" ”

Ye Xiaotian smiled bitterly: "Exactly, it's a pity that the long-distance carriages and horses have been rented out, and the report date stipulated by the political envoy Yamen is approaching, and I am planning to go to the horse market to buy a few horses." ”

Zhao Wenyuan said with a smile: "I went to Huxian County with a lot of mountains and rivers, and I was accompanied by luggage, how can I afford to ride a horse?" I have already booked the carriage and horses, because I will leave early tomorrow morning, so I will pick them up today. Since Brother Ye Xian has never booked a carriage and horse, it is better to go with me tomorrow. ”

Ye Xiaotian hurriedly excused himself and said: "It's not proper, although I don't have much luggage, I have a lot of family members, and it is inconvenient to walk with my brother." "People have female dependents, and it is a long time to go, how can he squeeze in a car with other people's female dependents, although the folk customs of Guizhou are different from those of the Central Plains, this is also very rude, of course Ye Xiaotian has to refuse.

Zhao Wenyuan laughed and said, "Brother Ye Xian doesn't have to be polite, I rented three carriages." Now it doesn't matter if you add you, if you have a female dependent, you can be in the same car with Humble Jing. It's good for you and my brother to squeeze in, and we have a companion on the road. ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "This ......"

Zhao Wenyuan smiled: "Brother Ye Xian, don't be polite to me." In the same year, we just joined the government and served in the same county, and when we deal with each other in the future, we will be closer and closer today, and we will take care of each other in the future. ”

Ye Xiaotian said secretly: "This is a gang, it's okay, Xu Boyi went to Huxian, he must be embarrassed by me, many friends and many roads." Then he said: "So, thank you Brother Wenyuan." ”

Zhao Wenyuan said with a smile: "Brother Xian is waiting here, I'll go inside to get the carriage and horses out, you go with me, recognize my residence first, you come over early tomorrow morning, let's set off together." ”

Ye Xiaotian nodded in agreement, and Zhao Wenyuan asked his wife to wait outside the door to accompany Ye Xiaotian, and walked towards the carriage and horse shop.

When Qianqing Qingfang first saw Ye Xiaotian, he was still a little worried in his heart, but when he saw that Ye Xiaotian didn't recognize her, he let go of his heart.

In fact, they all thought that Ye Xiaotian was a pawn of the Xia family meddling in Huxian, and they also thought that Ye Xiaotian knew Zhao Wenyuan's details, so even if they recognized her, it was not a big deal, they had no intention of washing away the brand of the Yang family in Banzhou. But since Ye Xiaotian didn't recognize it, of course it was more convenient for her to act in Huxian.

Qianqingqing's eyes turned, and he suddenly said: "Brother Ye, this is going to Huxian, what is the official residence?" ”

Ye Xiaotian leaned over and smiled: "Oh! The political envoy Yamen entrusted me with the post of canonical history. ”

Qian Qingqing sighed lightly and said, "Dian Shi, in charge of the judicial prison, it is very majestic." Hey, it's a pity that my husband is just a postman, doing the unproductive livelihood that is ushered in. ”

Ye Xiaotian frowned secretly, and said in his heart: "As a wife, how can you count down your husband in front of outsiders, it seems that this Zhao Wenyuan's wife must be very domineering at home." ”

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, you are wrong, it is also a post, this Huxian Yicheng is different." You must know that it is the north gate of Guizhou, and it is the most critical place of the post road, but anyone who can serve there is extremely heavy. Have you seen the post men in other places, in addition to the post guards, there are also soldiers to send? But this Huxian Yicheng has more than 100 soldiers under his command. ”

Qianqing Qingdao: "Ah! I see, that's my woman's opinion. Brother Ye has ever married a wife, do you have any family members to accompany you in Huxian County? ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "The younger brother is not married yet, and there is only one five-year-old little sister in Huxian County, in addition to two brothers and an elder. ”

Qian Qingqing smiled like a flower, and said: "That's great, let your little girl be in the same car with me tomorrow, and it won't be lonely along the way." ”

As the two were talking, several handlebars led the carriage out of the gate. In order to facilitate the entry and exit of large cars, this carriage and horse shop has neither steps nor thresholds, and the gate is also spacious.

The handlebar type pulled the carriage in front, and the shopkeeper of the carriage and horse shop in the back accompanied Zhao Wenyuan, and when he arrived at the door, he said a kind word of "thank you for your patronage, have a good trip", Zhao Wenyuan pulled Ye Xiaotian to board a carriage, and sneaked into the second car behind, Zhao Wenyuan said an address, and let the handlebar type go on the road.

This Zhao Wenyuan is very talkative, and he is also good at creating topics, talking and laughing all the way, and the more he talks to Ye Xiaotian, the closer he gets. The car was walking, and a tall mansion suddenly appeared on the side of the road, with blue bricks all over the ground, double lions guarding the door, and a flagpole on the wall.

Ye Xiaotian glanced at it casually, and suddenly saw the two words "Xia Mansion" on the door, and couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Xia Mansion?" This is the mansion of the Xia family of Hongfeng Lake in Guiyang? ”

Zhao Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "You will soon be the Chenglong fast son-in-law of Hongfeng Lake, why haven't you even come to Xia Mansion?" But he replied: "Yes, apart from the Xia family in Hongfeng Lake, which Xia family can afford to build such a huge mansion?" ”

The car walked slowly, for a long time, the roadside was still spreading the courtyard wall of the Xia family's house, Ye Xiaotian looked at the high courtyard wall of the Xia Mansion, and had mixed feelings in his heart: "Hey! I think that my eldest brother said that his daughter-in-law was just a matchmaker, and the parents of both sides met, and the marriage was set. My eldest brother and I are the same mother, and I was born a pillar of incense only later than him, why is my luck so bad, and it is so difficult to find a daughter-in-law? ”

Ye Xiaotian felt sorry for himself, and his optimistic nature made him quickly find a reason for himself to feel at ease: "It's different, how can Shui Wu compare with my sister-in-law, even if her father was not killed later, just because she had a marriage contract, she was destined to have a lot of good things."

As for Yingying, not to mention, people are like the daughters of the Seven Fairies, although the Seven Fairies have followed the Cowherd, but there are thousands of Cowherds in the world, what a blessing it would be for me to be the luckiest one among them!

What's more, even if it is the daughter of the Seven Immortals, isn't there still a queen mother who is a hindrance? I'm just changing from my mother-in-law to my father-in-law, although the Milky Way is difficult to cross, as long as I am willing to work hard, I can always build that magpie bridge!
