The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 279: Please enter the urn, the hero saves the beauty

Daxing County, Xia Family Courtyard.

Xia Dongyue is a daughter from a small family.Not very knowledgeable, and young and inexperienced.The women of the Chang family treated her better, so she regarded them as relatives.

Liu Xiaoyan was busy trying on jewelry for her: "Look, these are Hetian jade earrings, and the water is rippling. Paired with my goddaughter's handsome face, it's a perfect match."

Madam Ninth held a piece of cloth on the side and gestured on Xia Dongyue: "This is the best Hang brocade. Make a coat and skirt and wear it on the flowery little Dongyue. Keep the emperor's eyes from looking at the girl next to her."

Chang Ponu's wife Li Ping'er helped Xia Dongyue try on a gold hairpin: "It is indeed a peacock hairpin made by the Jiao family's gold shop. The carvings are lifelike. Only something like this is worthy of Sister Dongyue."

Xia Dongyue is a Xiaojiabiyu, and these things have really opened her eyes.

Xia Dongyue suddenly shed tears.

Liu Xiaoyan asked: "My good daughter, why are you crying?"

Xia Dongyue said: "Godmother, I have grown so old, let alone wearing such rare things, I have never even seen them."

Liu Xiaoyan said: "Silly boy. You are the one who is going to enter the palace. When you enter the palace, these things will be placed in boxes in front of you. They are not rare at all."

Xia Dongyue looked at Liu Xiaoyan with tears in her eyes: "Godmother, you are so kind to me."

Liu Xiaoyan hugged Xia Dongyue's shoulders: "Your foster father and I have a son. I have always dreamed of having a daughter. From the first moment I saw you, I felt that you were my daughter in the previous life. In this life, we will continue the love between mother and daughter. .”

Xia Dongyue was so moved by Liu Xiaoyan's words.I hugged Liu Xiaoyan and cried non-stop.

After some flirting between women, Liu Xiaoyan said seriously: "If you want to enter the palace, you must understand the basic court etiquette. After we try on the jewelry, I will teach you the first one, kneel down."

After the election of the emperor, there were always two seemingly contradictory requirements.Candidate women should come from a small family, and their speech and behavior should have the demeanor of a lady.

This is not difficult for Liu Xiaoyan.She was originally a young lady from a feudal official's family.After the late emperor ascended the throne, she became a frequent visitor to Kunning Palace.She is familiar with court etiquette, the speech and behavior of ladies, etc.

At the same time, Daxing County Government.

You Jingwu is drinking tea in the Houya study.

Zhang Zhixian of Daxing County stood by with his hands down cautiously.He was confused: I have always been cautious in my 15 years as an official, and I have never offended a royal guard.Why did Chang Butcher's godson come to visit him?

You Jingwu finished his tea and said slowly: "In which year did Zhang Zhixian become a Jinshi?"

Zhang Zhixian cursed secretly in his heart: The pig demon is holding a book, why are you trying to pretend to be an imperial student?He even started talking to me.Do you, a warrior, know which way the gate of Gongyuan opens?
Although I cursed in my heart, I couldn't say it with my mouth.

Zhang Zhixian replied: "Reply to You Qianshi. Xiaguan did not have the title of Jinshi. He was a candidate for the Shandong Township Examination in the first year of Hongzhi. Because he knew that he had little talent and little knowledge, he could not be nominated for the Xingbang or Jinbang. Therefore, after he passed the examination, he put up a sign in the Ministry of Personnel to participate in the university. Picked. After three years of picking, I was lucky enough to get the job."

You Jingwu said: "I know a little about the rules for civil servant promotion. If you have no outstanding political achievements, your career as a county magistrate will be over if you reach the seventh rank."

Zhang Zhixian replied: "That's right. It's not the imperial system that's to blame, it's just that the lower officials are not good at craftsmanship."

You Jingwu played with the tea bowl in his hand: "Zhang Cai, a doctor in the Literary Selection Department of the Ministry of Official Affairs, is a close literary friend of my adoptive father. If my adoptive father can say a few kind words for you in front of Zhang, I will promote you to the rank of sixth-rank magistrate. It shouldn’t be difficult.”

Zhang Zhi County is a Laozhou County. He has been involved in official circles for many years. He understands the world better than anyone else.

He knows that there is neither love nor hatred for no reason in this world.

The dignified Jin Yiwei commanded Qian Shi to go to this small Daxing County government office and grant him an official title. There must be something for him to do.

Zhang Zhixian showed the emotional intelligence of an old bureaucrat.

He said calmly: "Xiaoguan has always admired your Majesty, Governor Chang, and wanted to serve him. However, my rank is low and I don't know how to serve Governor Chang."

The translation of this sentence is: Don't take off your pants and fart.Say, what can I do to get a chance for promotion?

You Jingwu said: "Recently, the Ministry of Rites is selecting beauties for the emperor. Do you know about this?"

Zhang Zhixian replied: "Yes. A total of 47 girls of school age in this county have been admitted to the Ministry of Rites."

You Jingwu said: "There is a small landowner named Xia Ru in Pangezhuang, your county. His daughter is also in the book."

Although Zhang Zhixian didn't know Xia Ru, he still responded: "Yes, yes. There is such a person."

You Jingwu said: "It is very important after the election. The character and family background are strictly tested. I heard that Xia Ru is a good character, kind-hearted and generous. He donates money to help the elderly and the poor when he has nothing to do. He is Pangezhuang A well-known good person in the area."

Zhang Zhixian agreed: "Yes, yes. Mr. Xia is just like a living Bodhisattva. When people in Pangezhuang area mention him, they all give him a thumbs up."

It's hard for Zhang Zhixian to know that Xia Ru exists at all.But he followed You Jingwu's words and praised Xia Ru to the sky.

You Jingwu said: "In such a kind family, the daughter is also kind-hearted. You have to write a letter of recommendation to the Ministry of Rites. Make a list of all the good deeds Xia Ru has done in his daily life, and then stamp it with your official seal."

"If Xia Ru's daughter can really enter the palace, you will be considered a part of the credit."

Zhang Zhixian immediately agreed: "Sure! Without further ado, I will issue a letter of recommendation right now."

You Jingwu made a gesture of invitation.

Zhang Zhixian immediately picked up his pen and began to make up random things.There are more than 50 items listed, such as opening a porridge shed to help the poor, giving money to a book school to help students, helping an old lady to cross the road, or carrying water to a widow.

Zhang Zhixian wrote like a genius, almost turning Xia Ru into a living thunder front in the Ming Dynasty.

After finishing writing, Zhang Zhixian stamped his official seal on it, dried the ink pad and handed it to You Jingwu.

You Jingwu read it over and put away the recommendation letter, stood up and said, "I still have official duties, so I'll take my leave first. Tomorrow you go to the Literary and Selection Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to find Dr. Zhang Caizhang. He will give you a candidate sign as a fellow magistrate. "

Zhang Zhixian thanked him for his kindness: "It's just a small effort, but it's not worth mentioning. How can I work hard for Dr. Zhang?"

You Jingwu said coldly: "My adoptive father doesn't like owing favors to others. Stop being so polite. Goodbye!"

With the letter of recommendation from her parents to the Xia family, Xia Dongyue had another bargaining chip to enter the palace.

In a blink of an eye, February [-] is here, the day when the dragon raises its head.

The capital was bustling with activity.The temple fair was crowded with people, and the small businessmen and hawkers were shouting vigorously.

Among the crowd, four men in civilian clothes were wandering around surrounded by a young man in brocade clothes.

Young Master Jin Yiwei is none other than Emperor Zhengde.

The other four people are Chang Feng, Chang Ponu, Jiang Bin, and Ya San, who can speak Western.

Emperor Zhengde lowered his voice: "Uncle, aren't you the most opposed to me? Oh no, why should I go on patrol incognito? Why do you take the initiative to lead me to a folk temple fair with Po Nu?"

Chang Feng smiled and said: "Master Huang, you are busy with your business. You always have to go out to relax and make your body and mind happy. When you are happy both physically and mentally, we will also be happy."

Emperor Zhengde picked up a wooden tiger from a roadside stall and asked Yasan with a smile: "How do you say tiger in French?"

Asan replied: "What a shit!"

Emperor Zhengde asked again: "Where is the rabbit?"

Asan replied: "Gee."

Emperor Zhengde was in a good mood and joked with Ya San: "What do you say, bastard?"

Asan replied: "Bu Shi Da Ke Te."

Emperor Zhengde said in jerky French language: "Liu Jian and Xie Qian are thieves." (Liu Jian and Xie Qian are bastards)
What a hatred. Emperor Zhengde never forgot to scold Liu Jian and Xie Qian when he learned about the French language.

The hawker smiled and said: "You are so awesome, you can also speak Western. What do you think of this wooden tiger? Buy one."

Emperor Zhengde said: "This tiger is not very interesting."

Emperor Zhengde put down the wooden tiger and picked up a round wooden piglet from the side: "This little piggy is very good. How much does it cost?"

Emperor Zhengde was born in the year of Pig.After he ascended the throne, he issued an edict: "Memories and internal criticism of pigs using pigs." In the seventeenth dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, only the Zhengde Dynasty banned the word pig.On the imperial meal list during the reign of Emperor Taizu, "roasted suckling pig" was clearly written.

The hawker replied: "Twenty cents."

Emperor Zhengde is not short of these few pennies.But he wanted to experience the joy of bargaining among ordinary people.

He waved his hands repeatedly: "It's too expensive, it's too expensive, I won't buy it."

The hawker quickly said: "How about eighteen essays?"

When Emperor Zhengde left the palace this time, he borrowed a money bag from a young eunuch in the palace.He also exchanged a bag of golden melon seeds with the eunuch for 150 copper coins.

Emperor Zhengde picked up the money bag at his waist, took out eighteen pieces of money one by one, and handed them to the hawker.

Jiang Bin on the side flattered him: "Master Huang, you are really a master at bargaining! You got two cents off the price as soon as you opened your mouth."

Emperor Zhengde said proudly: "It's so difficult to bargain."

The group of people ate and walked around. Emperor Zhengde was like a bird flying out of a cage, walking through the smoke and smoke of the city.

Emperor Zhengde did not take Liu Jin with him when he traveled incognito.

Chang Feng was afraid that Liu Jin would follow him out and realize that the hero saving the beauty that was about to be staged was a drama.

He specifically went to ask Xiao Jing and arranged Liu Jin as the person on duty for the Supervisor of Ceremonies on February [-]nd.

Although Xiao Jing is no longer in charge, he is still the official palm print of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.He is still responsible for the things that are done on duty.

Liu Jin was on duty at the Supervisor of Ceremonies and had no idea that Emperor Zhengde had left the palace accompanied by the Chang family and his son.

Unknowingly, everyone wandered into Zhijin Street.

Chang Feng smiled and said: "There is a famous comedian named Chen Liuzi on Maodanzi Street next door. Mr. Huang, we have to go and have a look. Otherwise, going to the temple fair will be like crossing Baoshan and returning empty-handed."

Emperor Zhengde nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay!"

Chang Ponu put up an awning with his hands and said, "Dad, there is a huge crowd of people at the corner of the street ahead. If we squeeze into Maodanzi Street, it will probably take at least two seconds!"

Chang Feng said: "It doesn't matter. Let's not turn away from the street. I know there is an alley leading directly to Maodanzi Street. Mr. Huang, please follow me."

Under the leadership of Chang Feng, everyone entered an alley.

After walking a few steps in the alley, they came across something evil!
I saw two scoundrels, one tall and one short, forcing a teenage girl into a corner.

The tall rogue smiled and said: "Hey, sister, come with me. I will give you gold and silver."

The short scoundrel said: "Sister, come with us quickly. Otherwise we will disfigure you. Hehe."

The two men's lewd laughter made Emperor Zhengde frown.He shouted loudly: "Stop! In broad daylight, the world is clear. How dare you molest a good woman in the street! Is there still a king's law? Is there a Ming law?"

The tall scoundrel turned his head and glared at Emperor Zhengde: "Fuck! Who do you think you are?"

Jiang Bin raised his legs and walked towards the tall rogue.He is a fierce general of the frontier army, a man of steel and iron bones.These two scoundrels are not enough to fill the gap between his teeth.

Chang Ponu grabbed Jiang Bin.

Chang Feng encouraged Emperor Zhengde: "Master Huang, those two people are wearing short clothes and don't have any iron weapons on them. Aren't you often practicing boxing and kicking at home recently? Why don't you practice with these two people?"

Chang Feng's words were exactly what Emperor Zhengde meant.

Emperor Zhengde learned boxing from Jiang Bin every day.However, no one in the palace dared to fight with him.

Jiang Bin frowned: "Master Chang, is it too risky?"

Chang Feng said: "It's okay. They didn't bring any iron weapons. If Mr. Huang is at a disadvantage, it's not too late for you to take action."

Jiang Bin thought about it for a while.As a qualified follower of the emperor, the limelight must be given to the emperor.

Emperor Zhengde strode up to the two gangsters and hooked his fingers: "Come on, I will teach you a lesson today!"

The tall scoundrel sneered: "Are you good at fighting? Being able to fight is of no use! When you come out to mess around in the capital, you need to talk about your power and background. Which gangster are you working with?"

Emperor Zhengde said: "I am from Chengtianmen area! My surname is Huang. If you like, you can add the word "ye" to it. I can afford it!"

The tall scoundrel should be originally from Songjiang.He sneered: "Oh, it turns out to be the little Yakuza!"

"Bang!" Before he could finish his words, Emperor Zhengde dug out his heart with a black tiger and punched the tall rogue in the chest.

In fact, Emperor Zhengde's boxing power was limited.The tall rogue took a few steps back and screamed, "Oh! It hurts so much!"

Another short scoundrel stepped forward with a fist.Emperor Zhengde dodged the punch and hit the short scoundrel on the head with an elbow.

The short scoundrel covered his head and took a few steps back like a nimble toad: "Wow! Brother, we have met a master! Run away!"

The two scoundrels ran away in a flash.

Emperor Zhengde wanted to pursue him.But Chang Feng shouted: "Master Huang, if the art of war goes so far as to say, don't chase the poor enemy!"

Emperor Zhengde thought about it.There was no need for two gangsters to keep him from enjoying his time incognito.

He protected a weak girl with his "martial arts" and felt full of accomplishment.

Emperor Zhengde turned around and said, "Girl, are you okay?"

The girl is none other than Xia Dongyue.

Xia Dongyue "plopped" and knelt down in front of Emperor Zhengde, raised her head, and said pitifully with tears streaming down her face: "Thank you brave man for saving me. Otherwise, the little girl might be in an unexpected place today."

Emperor Zhengde took a quick look.

I saw the girl in front of me again. Oh no, she was so charming, with orchid-like texture, picturesque eyebrows, clear eyes, bright teeth, and graceful grace. She was just like a hibiscus in water.

Emperor Zhengde suddenly felt a beating heart.

It is in line with what Chang Feng said before: All men are cheap. What you bring to your mouth doesn't taste good, but what you bring to your mouth tastes good.

This is the beautiful girl that Emperor Zhengde saved with his own fist.Men all like the feeling of protecting women.

Xia Dongyue's big eyes flickered at Emperor Zhengde.

Suddenly, Xia Dongyue stood up: "My father-in-law, my parents are waiting for me at home. It's time to worry."

After saying that, Xia Dongyue turned around and ran away.I don’t know if it’s accidental or intentional.A purse dropped from her body.

Emperor Zhengde picked up the purse, put it under his nose and smelled it, staring at the girl's back in trance.

Chang Feng, Chang Ponu, Jiang Bin, and Ya San came over.

Emperor Zhengde said: "Uncle, you always boast that you know half of the things in heaven and everything on earth. It shouldn't be difficult to find out the girl's life experience, right?"

Chang Feng was overjoyed: Hey!good!Your Majesty, you have been tricked!This is called inviting the king into the urn, the hero saves the beauty!
But Chang Feng had a troubled look on his face: "It's such a big capital, and there's a huge crowd. I'm afraid it's difficult to check, so I'll try my best."

This was to whet Emperor Zhengde's appetite.

Emperor Zhengde was a little unhappy after hearing this: "The imperial court has raised so many people and spent so much money on Jinyi Guards for so many years. Isn't it just waiting for this day?"

"I, oh no, I'm not fighting with you. This is an imperial edict. Within three days, I want you to find that girl from the capital!"

Chang Feng had an expression as if he were mourning for an heir: "Yes, I obey the order." But he was happy in his heart.
