Although every time a fellow villager mentioned the eight provinces' gang, Ji Yunfei would share the same hatred with the enemy, as an editor of the Hanlin Academy with a promising future, he had no geographical opinions long ago. He always felt that Huang Zhongyin was a friend who could be friends with, but he had never had the chance to have a deep relationship. Seeing Han Si thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask: "Zhixing, have you ever looked for Yongbing before the renovation of the guild hall?"

"Who is Yongyan?"

"It's Mr. Huang."

"Oh, it turns out that Mr. Huang's name is Yongbing," Han Xiufeng reacted and said embarrassedly: "In the first month, I wrote letters to beg for alms one by one according to the list of Beijing officials who had been in the guild halls over the years. The name of Mr. Huang was not on the list, so I didn't write a letter to him. Later, I wanted to build a township temple and go to the provincial hall to copy the Jinshi list of the fourteen prefectures and counties in Chongqing Prefecture, and only then did I know that Mr. Huang is also a Jinshi in our Ba County."

"It's my fault, I forgot to remind you." Ji Yunfei sighed lightly, then looked up and asked, "Changsheng, where did Mr. Huang live? Have you found out?"

"I found out that Mr. Huang's family had just come from his hometown. He rented a yard on the west of Nantou Road, Shengjiang Hutong, not far from Caishikou."

"Shengjiang Hutong?"

"Um."

"This Huang Yongqing really knows how to choose a place. Shengjiang Hutong is the most prosperous streets and alleys in the capital. This year, the chief examiners and examiners of the provincial township examinations have been placed the most. This is controlled by the earth veins, followed by the southern half of the alley behind the street, and the northern half of the alley where I live. "Ji Yunfei sighed, then stood up and said, "Eternal life, serve the pen and ink."

"Okay, wait."

"Zhixing, one of the two friends I'll come to see is the same year as Mr. Huang. I wrote two invitations, one at noon and the other at night. Please help me. If Mr. Huang is at home, please invite him to eat and bring him lunch. If he is not here, give the evening letter to his family and invite him to come for lunch at night."

Ji Yunfei was going to host a banquet for Censor Huang. Han Xiufeng, who was worried that he could not speak to Censor Huang, was reluctant to ask for it, and hurriedly said, "It's not a problem."

...

Ji Yunfei wrote the invitation, and Han Xiufeng ran inside to get a brocade box. On the way to Shengjiang Hutong, he spent two taels of silver to buy some gifts to wish Huang Jingshi a new home.

It was a coincidence that I rushed to Huang's house and knocked on the door to ask. Huang Jingshi happened to be at home.

He put away the invitation for the evening, put the invitation for the noon and the famous ones into the brocade box, and handed them to the Huang family along with the gifts he bought on the way. After waiting for about half a stick of incense at the door, the Huang family walked out with a smile and invited him in.

When he walked into the living room, he saw Huang Zhongyin sitting on a chair and watching Ji Yunfei’s invitation.

"I was born in Han Zhixing, please pay my respects to Mr. Huang." Han Xiufeng hurriedly stepped forward and called a thousand.

Huang Zhongyin didn't expect Ji Yunfei to invite him to the guild hall for a drink, and Han Xiufeng also prepared a gift. Although the gift was not worth much money, in his opinion, it was a recognition of Huang Zhongyin by officials from Ba County and even Chongqing in Beijing. He put down Ji Yunfei's letter and smiled and said, "All of them are fellow villagers, Brother Han doesn't need much politeness."

"Master Huang, I feel ashamed to speak. I was busy building the guild a few days ago. I never took care of you and I never came to visit you."

"Brother Han, let's talk about this, I'm not there. I've never been to the guild hall. I know how busy you are, and I'm busy with fellow villagers in Beijing. I just didn't expect it to be built so soon."

"It's just that the construction is almost done, and there are still some fragmentary work to be finished."

While waiting for his family to hire a car, Huang Zhongyin sighed, "It will be completed in half a year, which is already very fast. If I have to say that I am ashamed, then I should be the one who is ashamed. As a Beijing official from Chongqing, I have not been to the guild hall several times in recent years. If I hadn't found a place to stay for the last time, I wouldn't have remembered to go to the guild hall. If I hadn't visited the door today, I wouldn't have known that the guild hall had been renovated."

"Mr. Huang doesn't have to blame himself."

Han Xiufeng subconsciously looked back behind him, and said with a sincere look on his face and a little embarrassed: "As the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public. There are no outsiders here, and there is nothing to worry about when you are born late. You can't blame Mr. Huang for this matter. If it weren't for the merchants of eight provinces, Ba County would not have the prosperity today. Moreover, many merchants of eight provinces have become Ba County, and some have even reproduced in Ba County for several generations, and have long been from Ba County. It's ridiculous that there are so many frogs in the well, and they still hold the regional view today. It's not only ridiculous, but also sad, and lamentable!"

Huang Zhongyin's heart was up, and he stared at Han Xiufeng and asked, "Does Brother Han have no regional opinions?"

"Yes!" Han Xiufeng raised his hand again and said meaningfully: "Wansheng has been trusted by Master Ji, Master Ao, Master Jiang, Master Wang and other fellow townsmen in Beijing, and Master Gu and other gentry in hometowns. He was entrusted with the important task of the main affairs of the association. Naturally, he has to come to Beijing to take exams and juren everywhere, come to Beijing to meet with the officials who are candidates for candidates and fellow townsmen in Beijing. He can only think about what his fellow townsmen think and is anxious about what his fellow townsmen. As for people in other places, Youngsheng cannot help."

"So it's such a regional perspective, hahaha, you have to get it, you have to get it!"

"It made Mr. Huang laugh. In fact, people from other places who are late for a lifetime don't recognize many people."

As he was talking, the car hired by the Huang family's servant arrived.

When Huang Zhongyin thought about going to the club to have fun with his fellow villagers in the future, talking about friendship with fellow villagers in Beijing, and connecting with his fellow villagers in Beijing, he couldn't help but pull Han Xiufeng into the car together.

I talked and laughed all the way, and rushed to the guild hall without realizing it.

When he got out of the carriage, Huang Zhongyin thought he had come to the wrong place. Yu Youfu kept guarding the door and looked at the wind. He saluted Qiansheng first, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "Houguang Road Censor Mr. Huang has arrived!"

Ji Yunfei walked around the screen wall and bowed and smiled, "Brother Yongfeng, how is the new building built? Do you think you came to the wrong place?"

"I'm not afraid of my brother Bowen's joke. This... this is really unexpected. Actually, I knew the guild hall was being rebuilt, but I never thought it would be built so grandly."

"Please, Brother Yong Bing, there are some things that make you even more unexpected."

"Brother Xian Bowen, please."

Huang Zhongyin stepped over the door and walked into the yard. As soon as she walked around the screen wall, a familiar face that could not be more familiar appeared in front of her. She was looking at him with another Beijing official who had met a few years ago.

"Huicheng, why are you here too!"

"Can I bet Ding Huicheng, you are not from Chongqing?" The civil servant named Ding pointed at Ji Yunfei and smiled and said, "Bowen just kept us in a secret relationship and said he wanted to come to a distinguished guest. He didn't expect that it was Brother Yonggong. After leaving for several years, he didn't write a letter to me. Have you been successful? I forgot about this year of my incredible future?"

"It seems like you have written a letter to me." Huang Zhongyin complained, but she didn't know how happy she was. She patted her arm of the same year and immediately called out: "Brother Xingcheng, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Where is it now?"

"I just stepped down from a small county in Shanxi, and I am a seventh-rank sesame official, so I can't compare with Brother Yong Bing."
