Chapter 693 Two Gates
Tongzhou Zhangjiawan Wharf, it seems that it will never be quiet, and countless guests from south to north meet here all year round.

Chen Feng, a 14-year Jinshi in Jiajing, a retired county magistrate, and a native of Nanjing, got off the boat and took a deep breath.

Three years later, he finally came to the capital again!
Some of the Nanjing trio who passed the Jinshi examination together at that time seemed to have already become bachelors, and some of them also mixed into the Imperial Academy to edit.Only myself is suffering in the field!

Now it's finally back!Rest in Tongzhou tonight, and get up early tomorrow to go to the capital!
Suddenly, Chen Feng caught a glimpse of a person coming down from another boat in the distance, and he seemed very familiar to him.He walked closer and took a closer look, then called out: "Hu Meilin!"

The other magistrate Hu Zongxian had just stood firm on the shore when he suddenly heard someone calling his name. He followed the voice and recognized him.

The two were in the same year of the Nanzhili Township Examination in Jiajing for 13 years, and both participated in the Beijing Competition for 14 years in Jiajing.

It's just that Hu Zongxian didn't become a Jinshi until last year, that is, the 17th year of Jiajing, and he became a junior for no reason.

After seeing the ceremony, Hu Zongxian asked Chen Feng: "Why are you here? Are you going back to Beijing, or going south?"

Chen Feng said with a little complacency: "I was released as a magistrate in Jiajing for 15 years, and I was outstanding in the three-year assessment.

This kind of promotion is indeed something to be proud of. From the county magistrate to the principal is not just as simple as being promoted by one rank.

According to the concept of officialdom in the Ming Dynasty, Beijing officials are more valuable than local officials, let alone the six most important departments.

It is really rare to be promoted from the county magistrate to the principal, not to mention that he was promoted like this after only three years as a magistrate.There are more than [-] counties in the world, and few of them can enjoy such treatment.

Although Chen Feng didn't know exactly what happened, he guessed that it had something to do with Qin Dewei. Who else could help him like this except Qin Dewei?

However, when Hu Zongxian heard about Chen Feng's fate, he was indifferent, not even showing any envy.

This made Chen Feng feel very uncomfortable, so he also asked, "Why are you here?"

Hu Zongxian replied a little confused: "I have only been serving as magistrate in Yidu County, Shandong Province for one year, and I was suddenly appointed as Yushi, and I also went to Beijing to take up the post."

Chen Feng: "."

The magistrate was selected as the censor, which is called "Xingqu" in the jargon, and it can also be regarded as one of the best ways out for the magistrate, no worse than being promoted to the master!
The point is that Hu Zongxian has only been the county magistrate for one year, but he has been through it for three full years!Thinking of this, Chen Feng was in no mood to show off for a moment.

I couldn't help but wanted to get to the bottom of it and said, "Why did you get arrested, and who supported you?"

Hu Zongxian really didn't understand, and he was still confused until now, "I don't know either."

Chen Feng could think of Qin Dewei because he had a special close relationship with Qin Dewei. Hu Zongxian was relatively not that close to Qin Dewei, so he didn't think of it.

Chen Feng also murmured in his heart, Hu Zongxian was born in Huizhou, the imperial examination is also very prosperous, and it is also a rich place, could it be that there are Huizhou bigwigs secretly supporting Hu Zongxian?

The two stayed together that night, and set off for the capital together the next day.

When he saw the city wall from a distance, Chen Feng asked Hu Zongxian: "After entering the city, I will temporarily stay at Qin Banqiao's mansion, how do you plan to arrange it?

You might as well stay with me in the Qin Mansion, the place there is big enough to accommodate you and me, and it won't be too late to move out after finding a place to live. "

Hu Zongxian had already made up his mind, and waved his hand: "Don't bother Brother Chen, I'll go to Jiaofangsi Hutong to sign up for a month first!"

Hearing this, Chen Feng was very envious, but it's a pity that he doesn't have the money of Hu Zongxian's family, so he doesn't have the arrogance to pay a monthly subscription at every turn!
Hu Zongxian said again: "But first I will follow you to visit the Qin Mansion."

The capital city is not only romantic, but also sophisticated.

After entering the city, the two went straight to the west city.During the imperial examination, Chen Feng lived in Qin Dewei's house, and he was familiar with it.

But this time when he came to the place, he saw that the gate of "Zeng's Mansion" was closed, and there was no one to welcome guests at all.

This made Chen Feng very surprised. Hearing that Qin Banqiao was doing well, the gate shouldn't be so deserted.

Did Qin Banqiao lose power again during the time he was on his way?
Hu Zongxian pointed to the wall next to the door and said, "There is a document."

Looking closer, I saw a notice on the wall saying: "Visiting scholar Qin, please continue eastward."

The two of them were speechless, so they walked eastward along the road for a hundred steps, and saw two gates, standing next to each other dozens of steps apart.

What the hell is this?Chen Feng looked at both sides curiously. On one door was "Tianxia Wenkui" and on the other door was "Ci Lin Huaxuan".

The two door plaques looked like Qin Dewei's house.

There are couplets under "Tianxia Wenkui", the first couplet is "Three paths of Penghao to the Forbidden City, the body is spared by the rain and dew in the world", and the second couplet is "Thousands of books and ten thousand volumes are near the Danxiao, and there are many osmanthus flowers in the Toad Palace".

There are also couplets under "Ci Lin Huaxuan". The first couplet is "Morning glow and evening dew, the wind and stone Laiquan", and the second couplet is "Clouds dwelling on palace walls and trees, water birds chattering in the morning smoke".

Chen Feng looked horizontally and vertically, and what was revealed between the lines was "forced air" and boasting about the ban on entering and leaving the palace.

This Qin Banqiao hasn't been seen for three years, and it's drifting farther and farther!One gate is not enough, there is no one to pretend to be aggressive with two gates!

Those who ride horses suddenly feel inferior when they stand here, how can they break it?
Hu Zongxian was also dumbfounded, and fell into the difficulty of choosing. Which gate should he enter through?

Just at this time, Zhang San, the chief steward in charge of the gate and the vestibule area, visited here, saw Chen Feng, and hurried up to greet him, "I met Mr. Chen! When did you arrive?"

While exchanging greetings, he invited Chen Feng in through the middle door and led him to the outer study.

Chen Feng asked: "Is your master in the house?"

Zhang San replied with a smile: "Master Chen, please be safe and don't be impatient. My master has gone out to see someone off, and he is expected to be back soon."

Chen Fengqi said: "What kind of big man can ask your master to send it?"

Zhang San knew that Chen Feng and his master were friends from the same hometown, and it was okay to tell some family affairs, so he replied:
"My lord took over Li's family, and transferred Li's elder brother back to Liaodong Town to serve as a general of the general branch. Today is to see off Li's eldest brother."

Chen Feng was speechless for a long time. After three years of absence, Qin Banqiao was really different.

Under the current garrison system, under the commander-in-chief and the deputy commander-in-chief, there are generals who have a certain command power, and if they are promoted, they will be able to wear the seal and ribbon of the deputy general. They are definitely considered senior military officers.

Any elder brother of a concubine can be arranged as a general. What kind of powerful minister can do this?

Chen Feng sighed unceasingly, Qin Banqiao had changed, he was no longer the slippery boy who hooked up with him, gathered in the study, and sharpened his guns for the exam together.

　Damn, something has happened again in the past two days. The code word is most afraid of something, especially affecting the meditation and conception.
