Chapter 264 Cuihua Hutong
Today, Qin Zhuangyuan''s family is a little lively.
The managers of wealthy families came to their door with gifts, and whether they knew each other or not, they all sent a gift.
Song Jin received a gift from Liu Jianfang.
A well-regarded gift will not be handled.
The person who came to give the gift was the maid Xiaoxi.
Xiaoxi and Song Jin are familiar with each other and have something to say: "Miss Qin, you have not changed much after not seeing you for many years. No, there are also changes. He became the top lady and became more dignified and majestic."
"Miss Xiaoxi is really good at speaking."
Song Jin''s attitude towards her seemed to have not changed. After chatting for a few words, he threw the topic on Liu Jianfang''s head, "Sir, are you okay? Now, sir, it''s time to get married."
Not in the mansion.
There is no one around, and this matter is not a secret.
Xiaoxi said, "Sir, I got married two years ago and I still live in the capital. My son-in-law is a juren and is still studying in the academy and preparing for the next imperial examination."
It means that I failed this time.
And Liu Jianfang married Liu Ji.
The two are now living in Cuihua Hutong.
When Xiaoxi reminded him, he looked around and said, "Miss Qin should be about to change his place to live."
"I didn''t listen to my husband."
Qin Chi in Song Jin''s mouth is still in the bedroom. She is awake and dressed and washed up. She got hungover late last night.
Xiaoxi was surprised and immediately said, "This is not to tell you yet. This place is a little far from the Hanlin Academy. The Zhuangyuan Gong has to go to the yamen every day, so it is not convenient to go back and forth."
“Miss Xiaoxi said very much.”
Song Jin did not despise Xiaoxi because she was a servant.
Qin Chi is now a compilation from the sixth rank Hanlin Academy. His main responsibilities are to compile the records, record the emperor''s words and deeds, and draft manuscripts about the ceremonies.
The official position is not high, but in the long run, Hanlin Academy editing is a very promising position. The Hanlin Academy is closely related to the cabinet, and many cabinet members come from the Hanlin Academy.
What does there be saying?
If you are not a Jinshi, you will not be a Hanlin, and if you are not a Hanlin, you will not be a cabinet.
After seeing off Xiaoxi and others, Song Jin asked someone to take away the tea.
When he saw Qin Chi again, Song Jin keenly realized that his expression was wrong.
"My husband?" Song Jin approached him.
Qin Chi said: "My wife almost had an accident yesterday, why didn''t you let me notify me?"
"Nothing happened to me."
Song Jin was just a false alarm yesterday, "The danger outside was solved by Uncle Hong and the Secret Guard."
"The Yuan family is too bullying." A cool look flashed in Qin Chi''s eyes.
Song Jin hurriedly said, "This matter may not be done by the Yuan family. The Yuan family is currently being stared at by the Jinyiwei. Under the eyes of the Jinyiwei, it is unlikely that there will be a chance to cause trouble."
"The bandits are indeed closely related to the Yuan family."
This night was enough for Qin Chi''s people to investigate.
Old man Hong also suspected that the powerful intervened.
It is not rare for all forces in the capital to install spies from each other.
Qin Chi held Song Jin''s hand and solemnly promised: "I will ask someone to continue investigating until the people behind the scenes are pulled out."
"My husband is in love."
Song Jin didn''t know what Qin Chi was going to do, but he vaguely knew that he had started making arrangements many years ago, hoping not to disrupt his plan. "But when do you plan to report to the Hanlin Academy? Is your home far away from the Hanlin Academy? Do you need to change your house?"
"I''m ready for the new house."
Qin Chi looked at Song Jin with a deep look, "Just in Cuihua Hutong, the court has strict regulations on the residences of officials. Officials from sixth to ninth ranks have three rooms and seven rooms in the hall and three rooms in the main entrance."
Three rooms and seven halls represent the width of the hall, that is, the distance between the three columns, and the depth is seven halls, that is, the distance between the seven trusses. The three main doors and three frames mean that the width of the main door is three and the depth is three frames. In the Daxia Dynasty, architecture was not only a place to live, but also regarded as a symbol of identity. Different building specifications represent different social status and power.
It’s okay if you have money.
It’s okay if you exceed the specifications and no one pays attention, but if something happens, it’s a handle.
The moving matter is very fast.
The old man Li of the new residence has been arranged to clean it, and the furniture is also ready.
Song Jin gave some of the endless pastries at home to his neighbors. After telling him that he wanted to move, he went to his new home with Qin Chi that afternoon.
When I first entered my new home.
Song Jin met Lao Huo who had not seen him for a while.
Song Jin has never asked where Lao Huo went during this period, but without asking, he knew that he must have been sent by Qin Chi to do serious business. You can tell from the newly added scar on his face.
This person is a brave and has a first-class investigation.
But seeing Lao Huo reminded Song Jin of the Jianning Liu family again.
Qin Chi has not made any moves for a long time.
What I waited for was after he won the No. 1 pick.
Some things still have to wait for him to become an official, and it will be more convenient to do after entering the court.
Qin Chi took his wife and walked around his new home slowly, "How is it? Are you satisfied with your wife?"
"There is a vacant piece of land in the backyard, which is just right for planting something."
Song Jin said after turning around.
Qin Chi asked quipped, "Madam, can''t she want to grow vegetables."
"I wanted to build a flower house, not to plant flowers, but to grow vegetables. At that time, I could have fresh vegetables to eat in winter."
The so-called "no fresh vegetables" to eat in winter, but it only exists among the people. Rich and noble families will find ways to grow winter vegetables, just like growing vegetables in a hot spring farm.
Qin Chi agreed with Song Jin''s actions in his heart.
Song Jin pointed to the two small rooms in the backyard again, "One is used as a production room for me and the other is used as a warehouse."
"Madam Du Yi, do you want to add another servant?"
"I remember the sixth-rank official, what the court has to do?" Song Jin''s family signed a contract to sell his body, including only the cook and an old lady, which was recorded by the yamen.
Old Man Hong and Old Li are not slaves.
Don’t worry about the court coming to investigate.
As the saying goes, there are policies above and countermeasures below.
The person who bought Song Jin Pharmacy and the pharmacy shop signed the contract for selling his body, but he would not go to the yamen to file the contract.
There is also an argument for the outside world, saying that it is a servant hired.
The government can’t control how many people you hire.
The people at the bottom will not sue the officials because of this matter.
Qin Chi and Song Jin lived in the main house.
It is the best and largest main room for the entire house to collect folk art. Some large rooms are separated into two or three rooms for the servants to live in, so there is no need to worry about not enough rooms.
Old Man Hong and Old Li followed.
Old Man Hong was still looking at the gate, Old Li was still a coachman, and Old Huo Cheng was in the hospital guard.
After another day of rest.
Qin Chi put on his official uniform and went to the Hanlin Academy to report.
Song Jin got up early to prepare meals for Qin Chi, so when Qin Chi was about to go out, he was still carrying a food box in his hand.
This place is not far from the Hanlin Academy.
Qin Chi said he could walk without a carriage.
