The ride landed smoothly.

A eunuch cautiously said: "Your Majesty, it's here!", "Meet!", Wang Hongyi slowly opened his eyes and came out, and went to the study without looking at the saluting chamberlain.

A gust of cold wind swept under the eaves, Wang Hongyi didn't make a sound for a while, entered the study, and ordered Fu to grind the ink, and when the grinding was finished, Wang Hongyi's eyes flashed with a faint light, and he only looked at a screen.

There are lotus flowers on this screen, but behind the screen, there are a lot of words written.

It is said that the monarch has a lot of opportunities every day, and hundreds of concerts are played every day, involving thousands of people.

In addition to the important ministers, the monarch also has the attendants who serve him, and it is difficult to remember anything else, so many monarchs have similar measures to write down their names in case they are omitted.

Like other monarchs, the names written on this screen are all ministers who left a deep impression on Wang Hongyi, but the standards are different from others, and every name on it is a name above gold.

And above the light cyan, pay more attention, secretly only fill in the chalk.

Xu Jiacai muttered: "Add it!", as he spoke, he put the pen on the screen, first wrote Chen Qing's name near the chalk, and then added five golden names on the corners, and after writing, put down the pen and sighed.

There are now more than 30 golden names, all of which can be the guardian of a county, or the head of six departments, and can also be cultivated, but the pale cyan ones, as long as they pass the test of talent and loyalty, can be of great use, and they can be in charge of one province and one province.

Now pale cyan, just check the single-digit name.

However, even if you have luck, you can't do it in one step, and those who are willing to enter the office are all from the ninth grade or the ninth grade, especially these people, who have a task plus - wealth and danger!

Half a month later, it was close to dusk in Chengdu at this time.

The faint sunlight shone obliquely, fell to the ground, and sprinkled into a patch. The golden light makes people walking on the road can't help but half-squint their eyes to see the road ahead.

At this time, a fast horse came from the official road, picked up a slip of dust, and galloped away in the direction of Chengdu Mansion. The people on the horse had a faint dust and fatigue on their faces, and they looked like they had been coming in a hurry.

The city gate of Chengdu Mansion will be closed in a while, and the number of people entering and leaving the city has gradually decreased.

"I heard that Zhang Pingfu's stay in the water is very cheap, why don't you come back and cook two catties and go back to boil warm wine and drink?"

In the past six months, due to the increasing stability of the situation in Jingzhou, even those of them who worked as errands in Chengdu Prefecture have received a lot of rewards, and everyone is happy and more energetic to do things.

This is different from the previous errand days, the king of Chu did things under his subordinates, pinching silver is not thin, the rules are very strict, if you don't do well and lose this errand, I'm afraid that I won't be able to explain it when I go back.

"In the past six months, there have been a lot more caravans entering and leaving the city gate than before, have you noticed?" said a soldier who was about to close the city gate after cleaning up: "I have heard that some time ago, many of those nobles rushed to Jingzhou, and I heard that they were going to Xiangyang City to meet the king. Tsk, it's a pity that we are just a little soldier, if we also have their family background, I also want to go to meet the king, enter the palace and open my eyes!", "Just like you, even if there is a rich old man, I'm afraid it will be a mud that can't be lifted!", listening to his words, someone next to him immediately laughed and said.

"I said, don't feel sorry for yourself, do you know Wang Dabian who patrols in the west of the city?" The fire captain in charge of this team came over at this time and patted the shoulder of the previous speaker: "He is also from a mud-legged man like us, and there is no one to take care of him, but he was promoted to make a fortune and was transferred to Xiangyang to become a forbidden army? I heard that he has seen the king several times from afar!", "Now he is at the deputy team level, and the people of his family, Wang Erbian, who couldn't marry his daughter-in-law before, now have a matchmaker to introduce him! "Really?" Everyone else gathered around at this time, and they all listened to this kind of thing, and they all heard it with envy.

Someone was surprised and said, "I've heard about this, and I thought it was nonsense, is it true?"

It is said that the elimination and demobilization of the military are all the time, and some soldiers who are not in good health and of low quality are constantly transferred to local posts to serve as vanguards.

Generally speaking, only the main army is transferred to the box army, but it is rarely the opposite.

"He's still lucky! The forbidden army of Xiangyang City, I heard that one person can pay the silver enough to be worthy of our team!", "Brother Liu, how did he choose him?" someone even asked.

Lao Liu is a fire chief here with them, but he knows a lot of the three sects and nine streams on weekdays, and he knows a lot about the insider, and some gossip is not clear, so when you ask him, you can know the truth or falsehood.

"It's not because he enlisted to fight Jiaozhou some time ago, got the results of the battle, and let the above know that he is a person! If you want to mix up your personal appearance, you can also follow him to fight on the battlefield, as long as you have a life to come back, you will definitely be able to get in and out of the land!", Huo Chang looked at them with a smile and said, "Do you dare to listen to your head and drag a fortune?"

As soon as the words came out, they immediately caused this group of people to crack their mouths: "Don't, we are not this piece of material, let's guard this city gate in peace! A thousand wen a month, we can eat a full stomach, and there is still some oil and water!", "That is, if you lose your life, how can you still be rich?" A group of people were talking and laughing, and rode from far and near towards the gate.

At this time, the gate was half closed, and the drawbridge was about to be pulled up, and the man was busy shouting from afar: "Wait!", fearing that there was an urgent matter, he left the gate for a while, and let him go over. Asked if the captain was waiting, the fire chief hesitated and told the city gate to stay for a while.

The city gate is closed overnight, in case there is an urgent matter and you are trapped outside, wouldn't it be a delay?

Moreover, the time when the gate is closed is to be "engraved", and there is nothing wrong with a little more and a less, and it does not violate the above rules.

Soon the rider reached the city gate, and at the city gate, he was stopped.

Even if it came to this point, there was still a routine inspection, otherwise it would be found out that it would be thirty boards immediately, and the clothes were recorded and went home.

After the inspection, the rider thanked him, lost a piece of silver, about half a tael, and mounted his horse and entered the city.

"Haha, I'll go and have a few drinks in a while, this person is interested and knows how to give a hard money!", Huo Chang checked the broken silver in his hand, half a double, and said with a smile.

Although the silver is not much, it is enough to eat and drink for ten days, and it is very rich.

"I know this person, the Chen family in the old house under the new plate in Laobaizi Hutong in the east of the city is his main family, they are all Chen family, and they are the main affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, and they used to say that there is a Chen family businessman —...... Xiangyang", "No wonder he is generous, in the end, he is from a big family, even if it is a branch ......"

Let's not talk about this for the time being, let's talk about the main business of the Chen family, after riding into the city, he didn't even rest for a while, and urged the horse to go straight to Lao Baizi Hutong.

In front of Lao Baizi Hutong, vehicles come and go, and compared with the past, it is much more lively.

After this man dismounted, he led the horse over, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of Chen's mansion, a chief of the mansion standing at the gate of the mansion saw him, hurriedly trotted over a few steps, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you back?"

"The eldest lord was voted for an official position by the King of Chu, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for a while, so send me back first to report the good news!", the person who rushed back replied in a low voice.

"This is not a place to speak, you come in with me. ”

Because there were some people talking in front of the door, it was very lively, and no one noticed the movement.

After entering the door, he walked to the back, and along the way, the person who came to him asked, "Why is the house so lively these days?"

"Hey, it's not a matter of Xiangyang, more than a dozen families have gone, some people have returned, some people have not come back, the second and third masters are a little anxious, and they are trying to listen to the news. ”

"It just so happens that you rushed back, the second and third masters will be very happy, you are waiting here, I will go to the flower hall to report. The two of you are meeting guests, and I will take your horse first, so you can wait here for a while. ”

While talking, the two went to the study, and asked the people who had rushed back to wait for a while, and the chief inside led the horse and left.

About the time of a cup of tea, there was the sound of footsteps, coming from the flower hall.

"Chen Sanye, are you back?" Chen Zheng, the second elder of the Chen family, who came over when he heard the news, saw that his distant nephew Chen Sanye, who rushed to Xiangyang with his eldest brother, came back, Chen Zheng was immediately overjoyed, and beckoned him into the study: "Come in." ”

"Yes, Second Uncle!", Chen Sanye hurriedly followed him, entered the study, and closed the door with his backhand.

"How is the eldest lord now? Why are you the only one who came back? But there is something to delay in Xiangyang?" As soon as Chen Zheng took his seat, he couldn't help but ask, "Second uncle, this is a happy event, the eldest lord has obtained an official status, and he is familiar with the situation at this time, I am afraid that he will not be able to return home for a while." Chen Sanye hurriedly said happily.

Even if it is the same clan, but to the head of the family, he is still called the eldest master.

"Official, where do you start with this? When did you learn to speak and leave half of it? Why don't you say it quickly? ”

"Yes, second uncle, the eldest lord saw the king and got the official body of the ninth grade. ”

Chen Sanye brought the principals of more than a dozen families into the palace to participate in the banquet, and the eldest lord unexpectedly got the official body of Jiupin, stayed and was summoned by the king of Chu alone, and he was sent back to send a letter to appease the family, all of which were told as they were.

He didn't know much about it, but it was enough to tell the ins and outs of the matter.

"Jiupin official body...... The eldest lord did not refuse, so he accepted it directly?" "Although I know that the eldest brother respects the King of Chu very much, but at the beginning, Wei Yue promised the eldest brother a fifth-grade official body, and the eldest brother directly resigned due to illness, and now it is only a nine-grade official body, and the eldest brother directly accepted it?"

"Second uncle, the eldest master accepted it very happily!" Chen Sanye replied.

"It seems that the eldest lord has already made a decision. Chen Zheng laughed, seemed to have an understanding, and then said: "Now that the news has been sent back, the family is also relieved, and you have also traveled for a few days, and you have worked hard, go down to rest, go to the account room to receive twenty taels of silver, which is your hard-earned money for this trip." ”

"Second Uncle Xie's reward!", Chen Sanye was very happy to go down, he got fifty taels on the way, and there were ten taels left, and this time he was rewarded with twenty taels, and he got thirty taels when he came and went, although it was hard, it was worth it.

Seeing him go away, Chen Zheng stood up and walked back and forth in the study, thoughtful.

At this time, Chen Qing packed his bags and set out on the road with only four entourages.

"Master, are we going back to Chengdu Mansion?" a retinue couldn't help but ask when he saw that the direction was wrong.

They are all cronies, and Chen Qing has nothing to hide, and smiles: "Go back to Wu Yue!", "Wu Yue?" Hearing this, the four people accompanying him were puzzled.

Along the way, they got into the carriage first, went to the wharf, and then got on the boat again, and went down the river to Jinling. ！~！
