Ming Dynasty Road

Chapter 37
Under the leadership of the coachman, Zhao Yi and Niu Yong learned the etiquette for meeting tomorrow, and then went to Beizhen Fusi to report. The Beizhen Fusi yamen is a key department of Jinyiwei. The gate of the factory, in the huge city of Beijing, is the most quiet place. Turning to that street, the street is clean and solemn, and there is not a single street vendor.

The carriage was walking quietly on the street. Zhao Yi, who was sitting in the carriage, heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. No one dared to show up. The images of Jinyiwei Xiaowei and Dongchang fanzi in the movie have been deeply engraved in Zhao Yi's mind. Although he resisted at first, he is already a family man. Now, thinking about it, Zhao Yaoyao needs to be more responsible. Now that she has the opportunity, why doesn't she try it?
When Zhao Yi thought that his future job would be to hide in a dark corner to eavesdrop on other people's conversations when the night was dark and the wind was high, or to catch rebels with a sneer, he thought it was funny.

While Zhao Yi was thinking wildly, the carriage had already driven to the gate of Fusi Yamen in Beizhen. After getting off the carriage, he took out the imperial decree. There is a hall, and the white screen wall on the hall is painted with a tiger descending the mountain. The tiger is lifelike, with its teeth and claws open, and it looks lifelike, as if it will pounce on the next moment.The hall was quiet and elegant. As soon as Niu Yong arrived at the entrance of the hall, he was invited by the school captain to wait in the side hall. Niu Yong's qualifications were not enough to enter the hall of the Zhenfu Division. Zhao Yi stood still in the hall and was seriously admiring the There was only a fierce tiger, and a person behind him said coldly: "You are Zhao Yi?"

Zhao Yi heard the voice behind him, and quickly turned around and said, "My humble Zhao Yi, I have seen Commander-in-Chief."

Then Wang Ren'an withdrew his gaze from Zhao Yi, looked at Zhao Yi lightly and said, "I'm not the Commander, the Commander has gone to Tianjin Wei. I specifically asked you to come to serve, since you have entered Jinyiwei and are the emperor's pro-army, you must do a good job in the future, where is Liu Sili?"

An official came in after hearing the sound, bowed to Wang Ren'an and said, "The villain is here."

"Liu Sili, where are Zhao Qianhu's family members now?"

"Master Fushi, Mr. Zhao's family members have been temporarily placed in the Qianhu House in Xicheng, but..."

"Xicheng?" Wang Ren'an smiled at Liu Sili, and then said to Zhao Yi, "Did you hear what Liu Sili said? After tomorrow's face-to-face, you will work in the Qianhu Office in Xicheng."

Of course Zhao Yi heard it, but seeing Wang Ren'an's expression and Liu Sili's hesitation to speak, Zhao Yi felt a little strange, but the current situation did not allow him to resist, so he could only say: "Thank you, sir."

Wang Ren'an said indifferently: "There is no other place in Beijing. Jinyiwei is an important yamen. When you enter Jinyiwei, you must work diligently and do not be negligent. You will understand other rules in the future. It's not too late. Go down."

Zhao Yi didn't want to stay longer, so he bowed and retreated. Outside the lobby of Beizhen Fusi, there were many school lieutenants and officials who were about to report. Hearing that the poor guy in the lobby was assigned When I went to the Qianhu Office in Xicheng, some people who knew the details of Qianhu Office in Xicheng could not help but have an intriguing smile on their faces. There was a hint of schadenfreude and a little bit of sympathy in the smile, wondering what the new Qianhu was going to do. How did you offend Lord Zhenfu?Why was he assigned to the Thousand Households Office in Xicheng?

After Wang Ren'an finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the table and drank it slowly. His eyes flickered. While sipping the tea, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but it passed by, as if nothing had happened.

Zhao Yi came out of the lobby of the Zhenfu Division, and looked at the eyes of the Jinyiwei school captain who was coming and going, and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while, so he called out in a daze. Shang Niu Yong retreated.

"My lord, I heard something in the side hall just now." Niu Yong said hastily as soon as he got into the carriage.

At this time, Zhao Yi was speechless. On the way out from the Zhen Fusi, he met dozens of captains. Every captain who saw him saluted him as an adult, but everyone had a little bit of fun. When Zhao Yi was still thinking about what went wrong, he heard Niu Yong's words and responded, "Oh? What did you find out?"

Niu Yong talked endlessly about the kindness he had found out, and what Niu Yong said was spitting stars. After walking all the way, Zhao Yi realized that he had been deceived.

It turns out that Jinyiwei also needs a quota when recruiting people. Originally, the governor Wang Ren'an was going to recruit his brother-in-law into the Jinyiwei, but who thought that Zhao Yi would come out halfway and take up the vacant quota. The Commander-in-Chief must have been in a bad mood. The Commander-in-Chief meant to keep Zhao Yi in the Zhenfu Division’s yamen as an errand, but the Commander-in-Chief went to Tianjin Wei, leaving the Governor-General Wang Ren’an in the Zhenfu Division. The yamen was in charge, and the eunuch was so angry that he sent Zhao Yi to the Qianhu Office in Xicheng.

Of course, this is not the most tragic news. What is even more tragic than this is why people have complicated expressions when they hear that Zhao Yi went to the Xicheng Qianhu Office. This Xicheng Qianhu Office is different from other Qianhu Offices. The places under the jurisdiction of Qianhu are more or less in awe of Captain Jinyi, but although the Qianhu Office in Xicheng is located in a prosperous area, there is a lot of oil and water, but which one in Xicheng's territory is either rich or expensive?These people's eyes are too high, and they look down on Jin Yiwei the most, so not only can't get money, but they are also looked down upon everywhere. You can't get angry with them, and there is no guarantee that they are the family members of that senior official.

After listening to what Niu Yong said, Zhao Yi realized that he was in such a miserable situation, and that promotion could also cause jealousy, which was even more miserable than letting himself go to Shengjing.

Zhao Yi took a deep breath and said: "The one who should come will always come. These things will be considered after the appointment. Let's go to the Qianhu Office in Xicheng and settle down first."

When Zhao Yi said this, Niu Yong swallowed his words again. The carriage drove all the way, and the closer it got to the Qianhu House in Xicheng, the stronger the feeling of longing became. After a while, the carriage stopped, and Zhao Yi opened the door of the carriage. On the door curtain, I saw a courtyard in front of me. On the door of the courtyard was a wooden plaque of the Xicheng Qianhu Office. There was an open space in front of the door, and the small courtyard was open. There were no school lieutenants standing guard.

Zhao Yi and Niu Yong moved all their luggage in, and went straight into the Qianhu Office in Xicheng. As soon as they entered, they saw a very familiar little maid cleaning the yard with a broom. Overjoyed, he quickly took the salute from Zhao Yi's hand, and Zhao Yi asked, "Where's Madam?"

"Master, you are back. Madam is in the back house. She should be in the garden of the back house at this moment. Madam just sits in the garden for a few hours every day at this time." The little maid who answered was exactly Xiaomei, who was hired by Zhao Yi when he was in Tumubao, did not expect this little maid to come to the capital. Xiaomei and Zhao Yi are relatively familiar, so she speaks a little boldly.

Zhao Yi's heart suddenly ached. Zhao Yaoyao was so kind. She said that it didn't matter if she went to Shengjing. In fact, she must be thinking about herself very much. The newly married couple just needed to be cared for. Going to the enemy's rear and going there for a month, there is no reason not to worry, I am really sorry for him.

"Xiaomei, help Niu Yong pack his luggage. I'll go to the back house to see his wife first." Zhao Yi ordered, he wanted to surprise Zhao Yaoyao, and Xiaomei took Niu Yong to pack his luggage as promised. The man followed Xiaomei with eyebrows and eyes, and he looked like he was going to charge, he looked like a timid quail, Zhao Yi couldn't help but laugh.

Although Xianggong has gone to the enemy's rear, Zhao Yaoyao's family has no worries about food and clothing. Xianggong has made great contributions this time and was transferred to the capital. Zhao Yaoyao has nothing to do every day. In just over half a month, Zhao Yi's clothes for the four seasons were finished, and he took them out to play with every day, and then he would come to the garden of the house and wait silently for his husband to come back.

The garden is full of flowers, and the emerald green grass is like a thick carpet. Cicada yelled tirelessly on the tree. Zhao Yaoyao sat under the shade of the tree, staring blankly at the little grasshoppers jumping around on the grass with her cheeks on her hands, whispering softly. He muttered: "Brother Zhao Yi died of necrosis. It has been more than a month since he left, and he didn't even know to send me a letter."

Zhao Yi had quietly come to her back, and when he heard Zhao Yaoyao's complaint, his heart felt pity, and he gently embraced Zhao Yaoyao's soft and slender waist from behind.

Suddenly, before Zhao Yi could react, he heard Zhao Yaoyao yelling for help, and slapped Zhao Yi's face as he returned his hand. me."

"Ah, Mr. Zhao, you're back! It hurts. I thought it was a bad guy. The attack was too ruthless." Only then did Zhao Yaoyao realize that it was Zhao Yi, and quickly checked Zhao Yi's cheek. Man, naturally nothing will happen, he chuckled, took the opportunity to throw Zhao Yaoyao on the grass, the couple rolled into a ball and made a fuss.

When it was time to light up the lamps at night, Wei Zhongxian finished handling the affairs of the supervisor and returned to his house. Wang Ren'an had already been waiting here. Seeing Wei Zhongxian coming in, his originally cold face was instantly covered with a flattering expression. Said: "Nine thousand years old, that kid surnamed Zhao, I arranged him in the Qianhu Office in Xicheng, and he will have a lot of troubles in the future."

Although the factory guards belong to one family, in recent years, the reputation of the East Factory has become bigger and bigger, and the status of Jinyiwei has been getting lower and lower, so Wei Zhongxian has not paid attention to the affairs of Jinyiwei for a long time. Wei Zhongxian wondered: "Oh? Why put Is there any trouble if he arranges it at the Qianhu Office in Xicheng?"

Wang Ren'an said with a coquettish smile: "Nine thousand years old don't know something, this Xicheng House of Thousand Households..."

*****
At this time, Zhao Yi had already entered the gentle township, so he naturally didn't know about the conversation between Wang Ren'an and Wei Zhongxian.
