Chapter 124: Shaoqing of Dali Temple

Zhou Heng didn't see the two of them coming out for a long time. He was confused and hurried back to the courtyard and heard all the conversation at the door.

The true feelings of Pang Xiao moved Zhou Heng a little.

Unexpectedly, so many things happened when I was arranged to cultivate here.

Mr. Zhang Fuling from Beijing?

Zhou Heng had many questions in his mind. It seemed that this person was a student from Qingping County who was taking the exam. His father died and came back to burial. This time he was preparing to settle in the capital, so he asked his wife to deal with the property.

I don’t know how old an official was, but he actually asked his wife and daughter to come back with these two people. The journey was long. If something happened, it would be hard to say.

Zhou Heng frowned. Could this Zhang Fuling be a censor?

Zhou Heng shook his head and denied this judgment himself.

If he was a censor, he would not return to his hometown to bury his father with great fanfare, and the old house here would not be in a hurry to sell it. After all, when he resigns, he usually retires and returns home. When he comes back, he will not have to buy a new house.

Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that Zhang Fuling had something to do at home and needed money in urgent need of money, but he didn't want to ask for help, so he could only let his wife run away.

Zhou Heng coughed, "Let's go to the yamen?"

Mrs. Zhang smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, let's go now."

Pang Xiao was very excited and bowed to Mrs. Zhang. The three of them took two carriages and rushed to the yamen directly. County Magistrate Wei was watching people unloading the carriage at the door. Seeing Zhou Heng jumped out of the carriage, he looked puzzled and thought something had happened, so he quickly walked forward.

"Why is Dr. Zhou coming? Is there something wrong outside the city?"

Zhou Heng shook his head, "There is nothing outside the city. The patients in the isolation area are relatively stable, and there are not many people left in the observation area. Now I'm waiting for enough time to put them in the resettlement area. I'm here today, but there is a real estate that needs to be processed."

The Wei County Magistrate suddenly realized and breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Pang Xiao and Mrs. Zhang were also approaching, he quickly bowed. If Zhou Heng could bring him with him personally, he would definitely have a certain status. He should be polite as he should be.

"See me."

Several people entered the county government and quickly completed the document for the land deed. Several people rushed to the house next to Meiyuan. Zhou Heng stopped in Huichun Hall and went to get the first aid kit. The 1,000 taels given by General Su was still hidden inside. You should be polite.

Last year, Zhou Heng turned his back to Pang Xiao and buckled it, took out two silver notes of 200 taels and handed them to Pang Xiao.

Pang Xiao stared at Zhou Heng, "I said everything, don't give it to me, are you very rich?"

Zhou Heng grinned at Pang Xiao, "One code is the same as one code. Mrs. Zhang has given me so many discounts. I can't let you help me with it anymore. I'm too sorry."

Pang Xiao looked up and down at Zhou Heng, "Forget it, you keep it, I can still make the decision on these 200 taels."

Seeing the dispute, Zhou Heng didn't say much and bowed to Pang Xiao.

"Okay, thank you, Xiaobo."

The carriage stopped, and several people arrived next to Meiyuan. Liu Xiuer and Su Xiaoxiao were already waiting at the door. Seeing Zhou Heng and others get out of the car and come over quickly, Zhou Heng introduced them and greeted each other. Several people followed Mrs. Zhang into the courtyard.

The yard was very neat and paved with blue bricks, with no signs of weeds or abandonment. Obviously, the person in charge of the guard was very careful to take care of it.

Entering Erdao Courtyard, a small garden appeared in front of you. Although it was not as magnificent as the plum garden, it was very exquisite. Every step and scene was reflected here, the word "Quick" was reflected. Su Xiaoxiao dragged Liu Xiu'er and went straight to the embroidery building in the backyard.

Zhou Heng didn't follow him, and Mrs. Zhang looked around, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes. It seemed that she had lived here for quite some time and was very emotional.

"Mrs. Zhang has lived in Qingping County for many years, right?"

Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhou Heng and smiled at him, "Yes, I have lived here for ten years. We went there before we followed her when my husband came to Beijing. It seems so reluctant to leave, but there is no way to go back to Qingping County. I can only keep it but I will only miss you."

Zhou Heng didn't ask any more questions. Su Xiaoxiao and the others came out. Looking at the brisk steps and the expressions on their faces, they knew that they were very satisfied with this place.

Su Xiaoxiao bowed to Pang Xiao slightly and said:

"Thank you for your placement. I am very satisfied with this place. The various houses in the room are also complete. You can live in it after a little cleaning and decoration."

Mrs. Zhang stepped forward and held Su Xiaoxiao and Liu Xiu'er's hands.

"These two girls look really good. The embroidery building behind was built for my daughter. Just like you like it. There are a few maple trees beside the courtyard wall. After a few days, the maple leaves will turn red and the scenery will be more beautiful from the upstairs."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, "I just saw that the leaves of some maple trees have changed color, but they have not yet turned red, but the scenery is exquisite."

Mrs. Zhang smiled, "Okay, I'll give you all the keys. The old servant who is responsible for watching the garden here has been here for six years. If you want to keep it, use him. If you don't have to, I can give him the cost of settling down."

Su Xiaoxiao was quite sensible, so she shook her head quickly.

"Mrs. Zhang, no need to say much, people must stay. I haven't let the garden be abandoned for six years. Such a servant is really dedicated and I can use it with peace of mind."

Mrs. Zhang nodded and patted Su Xiaoxiao's hand, "Thank you, thank you. If you can, please check it out. As for the courtyard, you can take it with you. It's time for me to say goodbye. My husband will also arrive in two days. After we worship our ancestors, we will return to Beijing directly. I hope we will see you again if we are destined to do so."

Su Xiaoxiao quickly bowed and said, "I'll see you again. After my father reported his job, he decided to go there. I might go back to Beijing, and we can get back together at that time."

Mrs. Zhang was stunned, glanced at Pang Xiao and then looked clear. If Pang Xiao was bothered to find a residence, this lady must have an extraordinary identity.

"I don't know Lingtang is"

"My father is General Mingwei Su Hexiong."

Mrs. Zhang was shocked and quickly grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's hand.

"You should think of it when you describe it. General Su is a powerful general of my Daliang and is well-known. If you return to Beijing, you can go to our mansion. My husband is Zhang Fuling, and now he is Shaoqing of Dali Temple."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, "Okay, go and visit Mrs. Zhang later."

After thinking for a while, Mrs. Zhang looked at Pang Xiao. Since these intentions were obvious, she did not want to avoid everyone.

"Uncle Xiao, I will take the lead. However, I hope to help keep the whereabouts of my husband's family confidentiality. Just pretend that we have never been there. After all, my husband is visiting relatives and does not want local officials to know whereabouts."

Pang Xiao and Zhou Heng quickly bowed and said yes.

Mrs. Zhang did not delay any more and quickly took people away.

Zhou Heng was still thinking about what grade the Shaoqing of Dali Temple was. If it was similar to the Ming Dynasty, then is this Shaoqing a fourth grade or what grade?

Su Xiaoxiao and Liu Xiu'er were discussing how to arrange the house and what to buy. Pang Xiao asked a follower to record it, looking at Zhou Heng standing by the pond, and walked closer.

"What are you thinking? Do you want to see the courtyard?"

Zhou Heng was shocked and quickly put away his thoughts and smiled at Pang Xiao.

"It's okay to go and have a look. I was just thinking about what kind of official position would it be if Lord Zhang Fuling was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple?"

"The fourth rank, Lord Zhang is a righteous person, absolutely honest. Since they sold the courtyard, there must be some difficulties."

Zhou Heng looked up at Pang Xiao, and it seemed that he had thought of this level too.

"Well, it seems that this is true. I have to endure the matter of returning home in glory. I am indeed a clean official, but Mrs. Zhang doesn't want to say more, so it's hard for us to inquire, right?"

Pang Xiao nodded, "The things in Beijing cannot be explained clearly in just a few words. Let's go and I'll take you to see the courtyard."
