Since there is such an important thing, it will be inconvenient for Zhu Haiyin to beside him. Therefore, Xiao Jiading said to Zhu Haiyin: "I'm sorry, I played too late yesterday, got drunk, and was a little tired today, so I won't go out. Let's go another day."

Zhu Haiyin hurriedly said, "Okay, then the day after tomorrow, I won't go out tonight. We will keep our energy and get drunk the day after tomorrow. Now, let's go to the inner courthouse to see your residence first. By the way, brother, do you need help with moving?"

"What are you doing? I'm alone and have no luggage. Just go in and live there. There is no problem of help."

"Okay, then I'll accompany you to see where you live first."

After saying that, the two went out.

As soon as I walked out the door, two people came towards me and met, but it was Huang Shijun, the number one talented woman in Yizhou who was in the Taolin that day, and the elegant young man Tang Rongxuan.

Seeing Xiao Family Ding, both of them changed their faces. Huang Shijun snorted heavily and looked at Tang Rongxuan. Tang Rongxuan understood and immediately roared: "The back hall of the county government office, how could you come in casually? The person comes, tie him up and hang him on the tree and beat me hard!" Several followers behind him were about to rush up to get the people.

Zhu Haiyin quickly said, "Mr. Tang, stop! This is our county magistrate Kang..."

Xiao Jiading waved his hand and blocked his words. He looked at Tang Rongxuan and said, "Sorry, I am a clerk in the yamen's punishment room now. I have the right to come in here. As far as I know, the two are not from the yamen, why should they enter this back hall? You should tie them up?"

Huang Shijun snorted, rolled her eyes, and said, "I'm here to find my father. Mr. Tang is also looking for his father."

"Oh, so you are here to find your father?" He said carelessly with his belly shyly, "What's the matter? After that!" His expression seemed to be like two fathers.

Huang Shiyun was so angry that her face turned pale and said, "You are a mud-legged person, you take advantage of others! - Is the clerk of the Zhengfang very amazing? I tell my dad that there is something good about you!"

"Good? By the way, the image of two people who were drunk in the Peach Forest that day was indeed good. In such an elegant place in the Peach Forest, you didn't let me shit, but you two were messy and smelly than me shit. Can you do such a humiliating thing?"

Huang Shiyun and Tang Rongxuan's faces were originally so angry that they were pale by the Xiao family, but their faces turned red again at this moment, and they said angrily: "You..., what are you talking nonsense!"

"That day, so many people saw it in the peach forest. Didn't you see it alone? Didn't you see anyone else frowning? By the way, you are already drunk and of course you can't see it. Hehe, the number one talented woman in Yizhou, she is so virtuous that she is covered in filth, like a dead dog, she looks really good."

"You! You!" Huang Shijun was so angry that her whole body shivered. She pointed at Xiao Jiading, stomped her feet, and rushed out of the corner gate.

"My sister!" Tang Rongxuan followed him out viciously, took a few steps and stopped again, turned around and pointed at Xiao Jiading and said, "You wait!"

"Okay, I'll wait!" Xiao Jiading said with a faint smile.

Looking at their backs, Zhu Haiyin snorted and said, "What's so arrogant? When you know my elder brother's current identity, how can you still be arrogant!"

He said nothing. There was no problem with the assessment of clerks in the prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty. The county magistrate decided whether to continue to be hired after the term expired. However, officials outside the ninth rank, such as recording staff, assistants, etc., had to be assessed in order to decide whether to continue to be appointed. This assessment is also the responsibility of the county magistrate. During the assessment, the most feared thing is that someone makes small reports, and the most convenient way to make small reports is the robbers around the county magistrate.

Xiao Jiading followed Zhu Haiyin to the outside of the inner yamen. The layout of the ancient yamen was a bit like a reduced version of the imperial palace, and it could also be divided into two parts, front and back, front is the office area and back is the residence of the county magistrate. There is a high wall between the two, and outside the high wall is the place where the county magistrate's entourage lives, among which there is a garment.

Zhiyi is the personal secretary of the county magistrate, and his treatment is naturally different from other entourages. There is a separate suite with two inside and outside, the outer room is a bedroom, and the inner room is a study.

On the way, Zhu Haiyin told him that in fact, this residence is equivalent to the secretary's duty room, used for lunch breaks. After the scattered yamen, if the county magistrate did not arrange any affairs, Zhiyi would not live here and go home to live. However, Xiao Jiading does not have his own residence yet, so he regards this place as his home for the time being.

After seeing the residence, Xiao Jiading and Zhu Haiyin walked out of the county government office. When they arrived at the door, the gatekeeper saw Xiao Jiading very flattering and nodded repeatedly. It seemed that power was really a fucking good person, just a small county magistrate full-time secretary, and he was already so respected that if he really became an official, he would be majestic.

The two left the county government office and broke up. Xiao Jiading looked up and looked at the sky. It was still early. The Tang Dynasty implemented seven in the morning and four in the morning during the winter and spring, which is now at 7 in the morning and four in the afternoon. There was two hours of meals and rest time at noon. There was an hour in the summer and autumn. So it was still early when the yamen was dispersed. He decided to find a place to stay. Although there was a place in the county government office and everything inside, it was too inconvenient. He was still living outside at ease. This place should not be too far away, it would be best to be near the yamen.

The reason why he didn't tell Zhu Haiyin that he wanted to rent or buy a house was that he didn't want the wealthy Zhu Haiyin to help him. Others paid for him to buy a house, but he couldn't live well.

He walked forward casually and arrived at an alley full of ginkgo. He saw that the environment here was very quiet and was close to the yamen, which was very convenient for going up and down the yamen, so he went in and asked if there were any houses for rent or sale, and how much it cost. If you could buy them, buy them, and rent them first if you couldn't afford them.

When I entered the alley, I saw a snack stall on the side of the road. There were no guests. Because it was not time for dinner, I went in and sat down and ordered a bowl of lard and chopped green onion noodles. While eating, I asked the shopkeeper's old man if there were any houses for rent in the alley and what the price was.

The shopkeeper told him that this small item was called Ginkgo Floor. I heard that some people wanted to sell houses and some wanted to rent them out. Generally, wooden signs were hung at the door. The rent was very cheap, only about 200 cents a month, equivalent to 1,000 yuan in modern times. As for the selling price, it depends on the size of the house. If you enter the door and bring a yard, you will only have about 40 cents. If you are a little smaller, you may have to spend hundreds of cents.

Xiao Jiading smiled bitterly. Even if he added the jade pendant in his hand, it was only ten cents, so it seemed that he could only rent it first.

After eating the noodles, Xiao Jiading went out of the snack shop and was about to go for a walk. He walked slowly forward, and suddenly, he heard a tender female voice coming from behind: "Young Master Xiao!"

Xiao Jiading looked back and looked at a chubby girl shaking her fat body and ran over. It was Du Erniu. He smiled and said, "It's you, why are you here?"

"My home is here."

Xiao Jiading suddenly remembered that Du Erniu's grandfather Du Dayin told her yesterday that their family was in this area and there was a ginkgo tree at the door. However, there were ginkgo trees on both sides of the street, so he did not remember that Du Erniu's house was here.

Du Erniu said, "You are from my house, right? Let's go! Grandpa is talking about you today, saying that he doesn't know how you are going to be a clerk in the yamen, and he doesn't know if County Magistrate Deng will cause trouble for you."

Xiao Jiading said with his mouth: "I am indeed here to thank my grandfather. I have successfully entered the yamen and become a clerk. Thanks to you and grandfather's help. I heard that your family is nearby, but I don't know where it is."

"I'll take you there!"

"Okay, but..., wait for me, what kind of meeting gift I'll buy..."

"What are you buying! You are the best gift!" Du Erniu's flushed face was full of joy, and she took Xiao Jiading's hand and walked forward, "My house is right in front."

Not far ahead, Du Erniu pointed to a courtyard under a tall ginkgo tree in front of him and said, "Here! I'm here!"

Xiao Jiading looked up and saw that the ginkgo tree was indeed tall, significantly taller than the ginkgo tree next to it. When he arrived at the door, Du Erniu patted the door, and soon the doorman opened. It was a middle-aged woman. She looked at Du Erniu and smiled and said, "Er Niu is back."

"Yes," Du Erniu pulled Xiao Jiading into the door and introduced Xiao Jiading. It turned out that the middle-aged woman was their servant.

The yard of the Du family was very big. Du Erniu pulled him straight into the main house and shouted along the way: "Grandpa! Grandpa, where are you? Mr. Xiao is here to visit you!"

Du Dayin's old voice came from the inner room: "Young Master Xiao is here?" As he spoke, Du Dayin walked out of the inner room with a smile on his face.

Xiao Jiading hurriedly bowed and said, "Wansheng is here to thank his grandfather. The yamen has already accepted me as a clerk, and I have also made me the county magistrate's clothes."

Du Dayin and Du Erniu were both surprised and happy. Du Erniu looked at him: "Is that so good! The county magistrate's elegance, God, this is the position that many people have always dreamed of. I didn't expect it to be given to you. It's so great."

"Yes, thanks to grandpa's help, otherwise, how could I be today?"

Du Dayin stroked his beard and said, "I didn't help this. Being a county magistrate requires a lot of ability. Either you spend a lot of money or have a big backer. I can't help you either. You thank the wrong person."

Xiao Jiading said, "Of course there is nothing wrong. It was my grandfather who led me to find County Magistrate Deng that I could enter the yamen. How could it be possible without my grandfather's recommendation?"

Du Dayin heard this very helpfully, and the smile on the old face became deeper. He said, "You're welcome, he didn't mess with you, right?"

“There is no sign of this right now.”
