Chapter 82 Orchids
"It seems that it's time for a female relative to you."
Cheng Hongyuan returned to Guangzhou with the invitation of Chen Mu to be a doctor under his command. Chen Mu, who bid farewell to Cheng Hongyuan, was still resentful of the "hidden disease" in the dusk.
Like his age, in his early twenties, his brother, Rumorous son, would call him father, but he is still alone. It is not a big deal that Cheng Hongyuan speculates that he has hidden diseases - no one blames him, Cheng Hongyuan is just an indecent bastard!
That's it, but where did he find a female relative who is willing to be with him?
The women in Qingyuanwei have never seen much of the world, and most of the people who have seen the world come from high schools, and they may not be able to look down on him as a military leader, right?
The road is long and arduous.
Li Tao, a juren from Heyuan, was a trustworthy man. In just half a month, the Thousand Houses of Qingcheng welcomed the guests of Chen Zongqi, a scholar of Heyuan Luodi, who was riding a mule with a green shirt, and his young scholar and a strong servant carrying long sticks.
The mule was hung with a basket of books and daily clothes in the basket.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the books, books piled up into small hills.
Jun Yu of the garrison has never seen so many books in his half life. Chang Zongqi may not have two or three books at home. Even Chen Mu only has two books given to him by Bai Yuanjie. Who has seen so many books?
He pointed and walked along the way. Junyu of Qingcheng didn't even know what etiquette they should perform to the scholar. Some clasped their fists and made the scholar embarrassed and didn't know whether they should return the tribute. Some kneeled down and bowed and scared the scholar to help him.
Compared with this, the rude and arrogant flag soldiers threw them to the scholar's big nostrils, which made the scholar much more uncomfortable.
Xie Ming knew that he was here to make contributions and wealthy to the General Banner Mansion, who was killed on the battlefield, and he did not rely on his identity as a scholar to be the master of Qingyuanwei. He asked for directions carefully along the way, and then he found the General Banner's yamen.
Of course, the general flag is not qualified to own a yamen, but this does not prevent people from the Qingcheng Qianhu Office from saying that the general flag is in his general flag yamen.
Scholars are not juren, and a provincial examination determines their status.
When Xie Ming walked on the country road of Qianhushou in Qingcheng, inquired about the yamen of General Banners, and felt the general respect of Junyu for the yamen of General Banners, he felt complacent in his heart.
It seems that this master of the general flag who hired him has a little reputation in Qianhu Institute, and his life will be better in the future.
But this idea was completely overturned when he stood in front of the General Banner Office to present a prayer letter.
Two family soldiers with Japanese swords on their waists stood outside the General Banner Yamen. They couldn't understand what the call for a visit was. One held the post and ran away in the distance, and the other said with a smile: "This scholar, please find a shade to rest first. Mr. Chen went to Qianhu Yamen to handle government affairs, and he thought he would be back in the evening. What? Why go to Qianhu Yamen to handle government affairs?"
Qi Zhengyan smiled and was very proud, "If Qianhu has something to do, go to Guangzhou Prefecture, the affairs of Qianhu Office will be on my Mr. Chen's shoulders!"
What the old Japanese pirates said is reasonable and evidence, but it is also true, but it is different in Xie Ming's ears.
If you remember correctly, there are hundreds of households above the General Banner? There are also thousands of households above the General Banners, and the General Banners have such a status in the Qianhu District, Qingcheng District!
The scholar didn't know that the Thousand Houses in Qingcheng were about to fall apart. The biggest official was the Thousand Houses in the Underworld. All the households below were cowardly, and the tall ones among the shorts could only be picked up by Mr. Chen.
I don’t know how long it took to wait, but the sound of horse hooves came from the intestines of sheep on the ridge. General Chen came over and turned over and threw the reins to perfection. Long Junxiong steadily grabbed the reins and tied them to the horse stake outside the yamen. Chen Mu looked around and walked straight towards the scholar.
"I'm here Chen Mu, you have been waiting for a long time!"
"I dare not, student Xie Ming was invited by the juren Li Youlin to apply for the job as a Mengshi." Xie Ming said, then bowed with great standards and said, "I have met Mr. Chen."
Chen Mu smiled with satisfaction. Xie Ming was properly behaved and could distinguish the primary and secondary. However, this was already in line with Chen Mu's appearance as a teacher in his heart. He was just a few flag officials. It was definitely no problem to pass the child exam and pass the scholar. He immediately reached out and led the way: "No need to be polite, let's go in and talk."
Actually, there is nothing to say. Xie Ming has studied hard for ten years. Seeing that the imperial examination is hopeless, he needs to do some things to subsidize his family. Chen Mu happened to need a teacher Meng, so he was invited to apply here. However, teacher Meng did not have to take the school knowledge.
Chen Mu took out three silver ingots of silver and made a monthly meal offering. The two wrote a contract and reached an agreement that Chen Zongqi's home could start teaching children.
However, in addition, Chen Mu knew that Xie Ming's mathematics skills were also good, so after a little teaching exam, he decided to give Sanshi Grain an additional monthly salary every month, so that Xie Ming could also serve as the accountant at home.
In addition to the tent, Chen Mu has also recruited three other people from the rest of the garrison army in the past few days, divided them into cooks, grooms, servants, and then brought family soldiers. When he built the spacious general flag yamen, it immediately seemed overcrowded.
Either buy a big house in Qingcheng or use an official residence after promotion. In any case, this small general flag yamen can no longer meet the daily needs of Chen Mu's family.
Autumn is here.
As October begins, the weather is not much cooler, and the autumn harvest of the double-season rice in Qianhusou in Qingcheng begins.
Without Chen Junye’s business, the harvesting of the farm tools were all done. Old Man Zheng and Yu Ding harvested them one by one, and they were all familiar with each other, so no troubles arose.
I have to say that after the battle of Heyuan, Mr. Chen's social circle has become much bigger. In the past, only Bai Yuanjie and his subordinate Qi Ding had a relationship with him. Now he has a lot of friends. Just sent two letters to Li Tao. Li Tao sent a letter to ask his friend Xie Mingke to match Mr. Chen's feelings, and the other way was to inform him that he was about to go to Beijing to take the exam, and he asked someone to move a orchid to say goodbye.
After Chen Mu and Shi Qi inquired, they realized that the literati used orchids to describe the truth of friendship, which made him feel embarrassed. So he sent the flag army to buy a rich pen in Qingyuan City and asked the flag army to give back to Li Tao in Heyuan, wishing him a title on the list.
Originally, he wanted to attach another ingot of silver to go over, but later he felt it was not suitable, so he asked someone to buy a thick wool cloak, which he gave to Li Tao to conquer the cold in the north.
The matter was done here, but Deng Zilong arrived as promised with a military letter.
"In Xinjiang, Deng said he wanted to send you General Qi's military books. Today, Deng brought the books, Mr. Chen, do you have any wine and food here?"
Before seeing him in March, Deng Zilong was as generous as he was on the banks of the Xinjiang River, as if he had not been affected by disobedience. Chen Mu felt a little relieved. Seeing that Deng Zilong was wearing a cloth uniform, his heroic martial arts were even better than his at that time, he laughed loudly and said, "When others come, maybe there is no one. Mr. Deng is here, how dare Chen have no food and drinks? Brother Deng goes in and waits. Chen will then call someone to get the best roast duck and the best wine in Qingcheng!"
"It's not Mr. Deng, my reward has been given." Deng Zilong shook his head, his expression on his face was a little complicated. "Now, like you, he is also a guard. What is the deputy Qianhu in the south of Guangzhou Prefecture? You will call me Deng Qianhu in the future!"
Deputy thousands of households?
