Tonight, there was no banquet for listening to the opera, and Zhang Ning did not drink, but when he came out of Yang's mansion, he was already full of red.
It is obvious that Yang Shiqi is quite satisfied with him. Even a senior official in the court did not forget to say that Ping An wrote a good book and was very talented. These ministers with the first and second ranks of officials are not afraid of Xiaojing officials on weekdays. Even if they nodded to you, it would be difficult. How could they care about talking in private?
Anyway, the situation looks very good.
Zhang Ning asked himself that he was also a plain person. He thought that his family had no background and would be happy to be able to make a fortune in the capital. The various benefits of promotion and wealth will gradually be reflected...
But now I have to ride the donkey sent by the Ministry of Rites to go home.
The capital is strong, and the cold wind in the twelfth lunar month blows directly on your body, making people tremble all over. It doesn’t work no matter how thick you wear it.
It would be great if there was a sedan chair or a carriage to carry on, but riding a donkey wouldn't even cover it.
As soon as he walked past an alley, he heard a sound of horse hooves behind him. When Zhang Ning turned around, he saw that Luo Moniang rushed up. Then he asked the groom who led the donkey to stop. When Luo Moniang caught up, he asked her: It’s dark, are you going to have something to say when you come out?
I had something to say to you, but when you asked, it seemed nothing was wrong... Luo Mo Niang looked at him innocently.It can be seen that she is in a good mood.
Zhang Ning said: Then walk through this long street together and you can go back.After all, it was night, and people saw that they had a bad reputation for your father.
Um.Luo Mo Niang smiled.
Maybe the two should celebrate the successful meeting between Zhang Ning and Yang Shiqi, but they didn’t know where to start when they met face to face, and Zhang Ning also understood this feeling.
Lanterns are hung from time to time under the eaves on both sides of the long street, sparse, but because the street is relatively straight, it looks like there is a row of lights on each side, which is quite beautiful.
At this moment, the scenery is somewhat romantic...
It’s just that the wind is too cold, so people can’t be interested in walking. Zhang Ning just wants to get home early to warm up.
It just so happened that Luo Moniang also said something bad about the scenery and the atmosphere: Where did you get so much money?
Zhang Ning really couldn't explain this clearly. Even if he wanted to explain it truthfully, it wouldn't be clear in one or two sentences. If he was roasting the hot fire in the room, he would be in a mood to talk about it. Now he was trembling while he was shaking.
He said: My hometown is over there. I grew up on the territory of one prefecture and two counties in Nanjing. I always make friends with you and have your own solutions to raise money.
Fortunately, Luo Mo's mother didn't catch this and asked the question to the end. After hearing this, she just said: My father also said that it is a good thing to make friends with people with character... But what happened to Zhao Erniang in your family?Even if you buy a servant, why buy such a big person? I don’t think it’s a good-looking lamp!
It is reasonable for Zhao Erniang to give her extra attention to this jealous jar. Then Zhao Erniang cannot be described as beautiful. Perhaps it is more coquettish and appropriate, and her whole body shows a feeling that can arouse people's lust. No wonder Luo Moniang mentioned it specifically.
However, Zhang Ning was stressed and said earnestly: She used to be one of my subordinates, and now she lives with me, but it is not what you think.
What am I thinking?Luo Moniang said angrily.
I don't want to say something casually, it's not good for others.Zhang Ning said.
When Luo Moniang heard that he actually protected the girl, as if they were her own people and outsiders, she immediately said unhappily: OK, I am the kind of person who is "can't say anything"!
Seeing this, Zhang Ning ordered the groom to leave first and wait for him in front.
When only he and Luo Moniang were there, they whispered: In order to capture the rebel Peng Tianheng, he was the mastermind behind the imperial poisoning case last year. You should have heard of it... My decision-making mistake made Zhao Erniang fall into the hands of the thief, she was treated inhumanely and almost became a "borrow man". I asked her to follow us just because she had a support, and I was also responsible for that matter at that time.
Abandoned person?Luo Moniang asked curiously, after all, she saw that Zhao Erniang could leave and work that day, and nothing unusual.
Zhang Ning showed a look of gentleness that was different from usual, and said in a deep voice: His left breast was cut, and his lower body was tortured with red-burned charcoal, and his body was already terrible.
Luo Mo Niang was stunned immediately, as if she was shaking, and her face changed slightly.
Zhang Ning sighed and said: Look, she is talking and laughing now and lives like an ordinary person. It is really not easy. Let’s not expose her scars, just treat it as if it is not the case.Because you asked, I wouldn't say it if it were someone else.
Very pity... Luo Mo Niang also showed sympathy.
The two of them were silent for a long time, and she said with some remorse, "I misunderstood you." In fact, you are not that kind of person, you are all meticulous!"You won't bother me?
Zhang Ning smiled and shook his head without comment.
Luo Mo Niang looked at his side face, and her mood fluctuated for a while. She could feel that this young face looked clean and handsome, but it was very different from those young men who were pampered. Luo Mo Niang noticed it on the way to Beijing together last time. He was so tired that he seemed to have never said anything from beginning to end.
The street looks long, but it's over without realizing it.When the two of them walked to the intersection, Zhang Ning said: Let's go back.
Luo Mo Niang blushed and wanted to speak but stopped, and finally blurted out: When will you ask a matchmaker to propose marriage to my father?
How is tomorrow?Zhang Ning said seriously.
Luo Mo Niang smiled and said: You are too impatient.
Zhang Ning kicked the donkey and approached and laughed softly: Last time I went to drink with my former colleagues in the Department of Affairs, someone mentioned that there was a male brothel in the north of the capital city, which was not a law. If I continue like this, I can't help but go there.
How could you talk to others like this!Luo Moniang gave him a blank look and ignored you. I will go back now.After saying that, he turned his head and patted the horse and left.
When Zhang Ning got home, the first thing Zhang said was: Where is Zhang Xiaomei? Zhao Erniang, who was making hot water for him, said: You are already asleep.
He didn't say anything, and sat directly in front of the brazier. It was so cold that he came back and walked for a while. He was busy taking off his shoes and socks and burning his feet.
At this time, Zhao Erniang said again: When you are on duty during the day, our wife who did not enter the house took her sister out to play and bought two silk clothes for her.
oh?Zhang Ning had just met Luo Mo Niang, but he didn't hear her say it. Then he asked, "How is Miss Luo and her younger sister getting along?"
She just doesn't like me, but it seems pretty good to talk and laugh with my younger sister.
Zhao Erniang muttered.
Zhang Ning smiled and advised: Miss Luo is a sarcastic and has a bad heart. She is not bad. If you understand and get to know each other in the future, you will not be quarrel with you again.
Zhao Erniang said: But then again, if anyone can’t get along well with her younger sister, that person really doesn’t know how difficult it is to serve him.
Zhang Ning immediately asked: Is the little sister a good person to get along with?
You don’t know if the boss is her brother?
While talking, Zhao Erniang picked up Zhang Ning's feet and put them in hot water. Zhang Ning let her serve him, but he was paid anyway.
She continued, the boss was in charge, and most people would bend down to give way when they saw him, but the younger sister had no airs at all, and was very diligent in helping with everything.
Seeing Zhang Ning looking very interested, she listened with her ears, she said: When there are many people, she is easily ignored, although she is your sister and a person with status.But once I get familiar with her, I feel very relaxed, and what else...
Is it like moistening things silently?Zhang Ning smiled.
Zhao Erniang nodded: Also, when I first saw her, I felt that she must be very delicate, and I felt that she was lacking in taking care of her, and she would definitely cry. Unexpectedly, we soon realized that it was not the case. Last time, several people in the opera troupe got sick, and the younger sister went to take care of them, just like... Zhao Erniang remembered something, her face turned slightly red and her voice lowered, just like a grass that could grow in the cracks of the stones.
It took a while before Zhang Ning remembered that he had used Xiaocao's childish story to comfort her, and the two of them smiled knowingly together.
Suddenly, it seemed that the weather was not that cold, with a faint warm atmosphere.Zhang Ning said: If you are willing, I can treat you like a sister.
Zhao Erniang said softly: Maybe I am a little older than my boss.
……
Zhang Ning started a very regular life again. He put on his official uniform in the morning and went to the yamen to pay the bill. When he came back in the afternoon, he occasionally gathered with friends and friends.It's similar to the days when I was working in my previous life.
As an official in the capital, there is a chance to make progress in the center of power, but on weekdays, you should focus on beinghaved first and have a good review, and only when it is critical, someone will help you speak.
Zhang Ning is a more law-abiding person and is very attentive in his duties.
Because in the Ministry of Rites, many ritual knowledge needed to be learned now, and he often read books while holding on to him.
In fact, each industry is not simple. He became the head of the ritual department and found that various rules and regulations can be so complicated...
Just like when he went to a chemical factory before, he realized that the production process of several reaction equations actually required countless pipelines and valves, densely packed with paper processes.
Fortunately, the various institutions in the Ming Dynasty were developing and improving, and Zhang Ning didn't understand it very well, but it did not affect administration. The Etiquette Department had a group of officials. As long as you ask more about your superiors and subordinates, there would be no problem.
In fact, the one who is most familiar with the work itself is not the officials, but the officials; officials are officials who are flowing. If you do this job today, you may be promoted tomorrow. The officials may have been in the same position for decades and are more familiar with what you do than at home...
If the court's yamen lacks countless officials, the entire state machine will be paralyzed.
Zhang Ning found that he was a decent official, at least he had a good relationship with the people around him and his cooperation was smooth. Moreover, he learned things quickly and studied hard in daily life, and at least he could roughly figure out what the people below were doing. There was a colleague who was worse than him. He only knew the Four Books and Five Classics and was transferred to the Ministry of Rites and did not know about it after asking questions. He was naturally very angry when he was deceived by the clerk, but he couldn't cure the treacherous officials because he could not do anything because he lacked people. He was a mess of his official position.
It is obvious that Yang Shiqi is quite satisfied with him. Even a senior official in the court did not forget to say that Ping An wrote a good book and was very talented. These ministers with the first and second ranks of officials are not afraid of Xiaojing officials on weekdays. Even if they nodded to you, it would be difficult.
