This figure who is obviously a servant is also an official. Except for Wang Gongchen who knows Sun Qilang, everyone else is surprised. However, because there are many people in this era, Xu Ping's family has withered, and it is not rare to be exposed to the servants at home. What is rare is that they don't go out to find an errand after becoming an official, and they are still hunting dogs every day.

In fact, these people thought badly. Sun Qilang's official position was not due to Xu Ping's enshrine, but real contribution. Whether he had participated in the war in Yongzhou or returned to the capital to repair this and that, his official position was still low. In the past six months, he had been busy building a lot of things for the palace and gardens in the capital, and then he was promoted from Class 3 to Class 3 to Class 3. Sun Qilang has always despised the small salary of the official position and could not support his family, so he didn't want to do it at all.

A Jinshi like Xu Ping, a poor family, had a family population withered. If he did not want to waste his quota, it was very common to bring official positions to his servants at home. The famous one, such as Xia Shu, took a slave named Lu, the family's servant named Lu as an official. The wife gave birth to a child on the way to his post because she only started to count the salary of the dispatch after handing over the transfer. She forced her to go on the road after three days, and her wife died. Before her death, she wrote a poem on the wall of the inn and recorded this incident, which was covered with white walls. Later, there were some people who were gracious in the collection and publication, called Lu Nu's poems, which were spread for a while.

Xu Ping's family has industries, and is spread all over the country, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery, industry and commerce. Doing something at home is more than getting an official, and it is easy and comfortable. The quota of grace has always been empty. Even Xu Chang would rather stay in the Xu family as a supervisor than to become an official. The position of being a young envoy is not as good as that of his county marquis's chief supervisor.

Now the two officials have relied on military achievements, and Sun Qilang relied on his own skills. The Xu family's slaves have never taken advantage of the court as officials.

The shopkeeper took a seat, and Sun Qilang sat down at the bottom.

Wang Gongchen whispered to everyone about Sun Qilang's experience of obtaining an official in the capital. Several people looked up to him. Those who could be invited by the palace to repair things several times must be master craftsmen. This master didn't take it seriously after he had an official position. He would rather stay in the countryside and sing proudly in the mountains and rivers, and had a bit of a master's demeanor. He didn't expect that Sun Qilang was just lazy and playful.

After chatting for a few gossips, the shopkeepers working in the fields came back one after another.

Lu Song walked to Xu Ping and bowed and said, "Officials, the patrons and tourists are all back, and they are well-manned. It is better to walk around the garden with the guests. The courtyard is too messy. Please give me some instructions on what to eat in the evening."

"Okay, push the car out. After a while, let the shopkeeper slaughter a fat sheep, kill a few chickens, and then cook and send them to the garden. Remember to cook the lamb bones, pick the lamb and cut it and wash it, roast it in the garden, and eat it half of the chicken and smoke it and half."

Lu Song Yingnuo.

Sun Qilang said: "There is also a deer here. It's so fat. My brother has someone cooked it together!"

Lu Song looked at the deer on the ground, called two shopkeepers to come and carry them aside to clean up.

At this time, the sun was lying on the west mountain and only half of its face was revealed. The cool breeze at night had already risen and blew on everyone's faces, with a special pastoral style.

The shopkeepers who went out to work came back one after another, carrying various tools on their shoulders and smiling on their faces, talking about the weather this year, what to plant, what harvest will be in the field, how much more wages can be paid, and what to eat for supper today.

This is a scene that these young civil servants have never seen before. Although they are all people who only read the books of sages and do not know how to farm. They were also infected by this scene for a while, and their lives were filled with hope and vitality.

Only Fang Xie and Uncle Cao Ying have been several local officials, so they are not surprised by these things. They have run all the way and are already hungry. Now they are just thinking about swallowing the whole sheep into their stomachs.

After a while, several shopkeepers rode several tricycles to everyone and stopped neatly.

Wang Gongchen looked straight and said to Xu Ping beside him: "We are taking this car in the village? A few days ago, I was allowed to take this kind of car in the imperial city by bachelor's degree. Now even the priests don't ride horses in the imperial city, and they come and go and take a car. I didn't expect that there are such good things in this village, and I can enjoy it!"

According to regulations, only the prime minister can ride horses in the imperial city, and other officials can only walk between the yamen. The front half of the imperial city is filled with various yamen, saying that they are close to each other, they still have to walk a few miles at any time. Many officials can walk nowhere, especially like Shengdu, which is difficult to bend. In daily life, everyone sits in their own yamen's official halls and rarely go to other yamen.

The tricycle business has been in operation for many years, but the market has not been big. Only some wealthy families bought it and went back to carry it at home, and basically no one rode it on the street.

The reason is simple. The streets of Kaifeng are crowded in bustling places, making it difficult for this car to travel. If you take a guide to the Qing Road of Etiquette, you don’t know how to dress according to the regulations, and you don’t have to go up or down.

Unless there is a special order, officials require horse riding and women take a car when traveling. If officials take a car, it is difficult to guide them from the ceremonial guards, and no one clears the road, and crowding around the road will not make people anxious.

When Xu Ping came back last year, some people remembered that the Xu family was also making such cars. Some officials who were old or inconvenient in the body wrote a letter asking them to be used in the imperial city. The most exciting thing was naturally the grandfather. Walking was a huge burden on him, and it was also good to be able to take one step less. He joined hands with the ministers to submit memorials several times. This matter was discussed several times in the Taichang Liyuan. Finally, he felt that it was very different from sedan chairs and chariots, so he allowed the bachelor's degree or above in the imperial city to ride, and was uniformly under the jurisdiction of the Imperial City.

Xu Ping's family's property has risen and he will not make money with this car. However, this kind of car has become a symbol of identity, so he specially made more than a dozen cars, which were placed in Zhongmu Manor and Wanshengmen Outside Mansion, and used to pull guests to play.

Seeing the car coming, Sun Qilang hurriedly stood up, rubbed his hands, and said to Xu Ping: "Officials get on the car, I'll ride to the park. I haven't ridden this car for many years, and I still miss it a little."

Xu Ping smiled and said, "Don't mess around. You are also a court official now. Your status is no better than before. Just sit in the car and let the patrolman ride it."

"This little official, but it sounds nicer to carry with you. My wife at home is happy. My wealth is all given by the official. What's the point of pedaling a car? Although I eat well and drink well, I'm much lonely now. It's far less relaxed and comfortable than when I was in the carefree life with Gao Daquan and others in the village!"

As Sun Qilang said, he climbed into the car cleanly, held the handlebars tightly, and looked back at Xu Ping.

I remembered that the car had just been in place, and I was competing with Xu Chang and Gao Daquan for the position at the front of the car. In the blink of an eye, Gao Daquan had become a general in charge of the army. Xu Chang was in charge of countless industries in the capital, and he was the only one who was left. He was still living a happy life in this manor. The situation in life is really unpredictable. To be continued.
