Chapter 743： Into Xiyuan

Chapter 743 Entering Xiyuan

At around 5:00 p.m., the sun set to the west, but the sun outside was still bright, and there was no twilight at all, but Zhu Ping'an had already left work from Taicang early.

"Leaving so early? Hehe, I guess I can't hold on anymore. I have to go home and rest."

"I see, if you persist for another day at most, Zhu Ping'an will sign and seal, and the inspection will be over."

After Zhao Langzhong and others sent Zhu Pingan out of Taicang, they laughed and teased. In their view, Zhu Pingan couldn't bear it, so he went home early to rest. If things go on like this, Zhu Pingan will at most pretend to persist One day, the inspection of the Taicang Bank will be signed and sealed.

It should be a big surprise.

So, the late-night canteen in Taicang became fun again.

After leaving Taicang, Zhu Pingan, Liu Mu, and Liu Dadao rode back. After arriving in Xicheng, Zhu Pingan went to Qintianjian first.

As the central government office of the Ming Dynasty, Qin Tianjian, like the Sixth Ministry, has its own independent office, and its location is also very close to the Sixth Ministry, just east of the Ministry of War office, after the Ministry of Rites, south of Honglu Temple, and north of Taiyuan Hospital.

Different from the general yamen that open to the south, the gate of Qin Tianjian opens to the west, which is probably a matter of feng shui.

Signing in at the door is a common rule in every yamen, and Qin Tianjian is no exception.

When signing, Zhu Ping glanced at the entire sign-in page without any trace. There were not many foreign officials who came to the Qintianjian Office, only three or four people a day, and one sign-in page signed for three days of visits. official.

After reading this sign-in page, you will know which officials have come to Qin Tianjian in the past three days.

There was a familiar name in the sign-in booklet on this page, which immediately attracted Zhu Ping'an's attention.

"Taicang Jia Xu".

Jia Langzhong's check-in immediately caught Zhu Ping'an's eyes, and he was the last one to check in yesterday.

Jia Langzhong's purpose in coming to Taicang, you can guess without thinking, it is nothing more than the idea of ​​changing the auspicious day of Kumen.

Zhu Ping'an knew it well, but there was no disturbance on his face.

After signing, Zhu Pingan put the brush on the pen holder, smiled and exchanged greetings with the gatekeeper, and then entered the gate of Qintianjian.

The internal layout of Qintianjian is similar to that of the six yamen. The main entrance is also three bays. The plaque of "Qintianjian" is hung in the center of the main entrance. Inside the gate is a screen wall, and then there is a large courtyard. Color decoration. Further inside is the double gate, that is, the Yi gate.

Entering Yimen is the main hall of Qintianjian. This is the place where officials of Qintianjian handle official duties. The deputy supervisor of Qintianjian also received Zhu Pingan here.

"Wuliang Tianzun... Zhuangyuanlang is here to replace the gate of Taicang, right?"

The Deputy Superintendent of Qin Tianjian is a Taoist priest with fat head and big ears. His surname is Zhang and his name is Siming. He wears a gray gossip Taoist robe, but he looks like a Buddhist Maitreya. He is smiling all the time. Wearing Taoist robes is a bit nondescript, shouting the Taoist name can make people play in minutes.

"Master Zhang is perceptive, and he guessed Ping'an's intention right away." Zhu Pingan complimented.

"Don't dare to be, dare not be the champion. He is responsible for inspecting Taicang. My son just came to Qin Tianjian to ask for a good day and auspicious day to replace the warehouse door. Naturally, I came here for this." Zhang Siming shook his head with a smile.

"May I ask Mr. Zhang, can the auspicious day for the replacement of Kumen be fixed?" Zhu Ping'an asked.

"It's been decided. There are two dates for Zhuangyuanlang to choose from." Zhang Siming nodded and smiled.

"I don't know which two days it is?" Zhu Ping'an was quite interested and leaned over to ask.

"Zhengding and Erkunzhong, Sanren and Sixin are the same. Five stems and six armors are on top, seven gui and eight gen are in the middle. Nine Bing and ten are B, Zi Xun Chou sees Geng. June is Jia, July is Gui, Tian De Jia takes Ji, Tian Degui takes Wu. Taicang belongs to gold, earth produces gold, and gold produces water. Therefore, these auspicious days, one is the 20th of June three days later, and the other is the 18th of the next month. When the light and the stars are shining brightly, it is an auspicious day for repairing the door and breaking the ground."

Zhang Siming stretched out his hand and pinched a few seals, muttering words in his mouth, and slowly said the auspicious day when the door of the Taicang Bank was replaced.

Said that there were two auspicious days for him to choose, but Zhu Pingan knew in his heart that there was actually only one, and that was June 20th three days later.

As for the eighteenth day of the next month, there is still one month before today. It’s too long, and the day lilies will be lit up until the eighteenth day of the next month. The inspection dragged on for a month, not to mention affecting the office in Taicang, and Emperor Jiajing was not that patient.

"When I went up today, the Ministry of Industry wrote back, saying that the fine iron warehouse door will be cast in one day, and these two auspicious days will not be affected. I will issue a document to decide which one is suitable for the champion. Which one to play?" Zhang Siming was not in a hurry, the old **** was watching Zhu Pingan, waiting for Zhu Pingan to choose a date.

Zhu Ping'an knew that this auspicious day must have the credit of Jia Langzhong. They must hope to replace the warehouse door as soon as possible, so that they can feel at ease after the investigation.

Those with a guilty conscience are worried that there will be many long nights and dreams.

"Then it will be three days later."

But it doesn't matter, three days is enough, Zhu Ping'an said softly, with a confident and firm look in his dark eyes.

"Okay, then three days later, I will have someone issue the document, and after printing it tomorrow, I will send it to Liubu, Taicang and other government offices."

Zhu Ping'an's choice was within Zhang Siming's expectation. After hearing Zhu Ping'an's chosen date, the smile on Zhang Siming's face became even stronger. Finally did not live up to the entrustment.

"In this way, Mr. Lao Zhang will be there." Zhu Ping'an cupped his hands and thanked him.

After the date of replacing the Kumen was confirmed, Zhu Pingan bid farewell to Qin Tianjian and headed for Xiyuan.

After entering Xiyuan, Zhu Pingan went straight to Wuyi Zong. It seems that Wuyi Zong is very busy today. Almost all the officials of the department are writing at their desks. They are very serious and meticulous. After entering Wuyi Zun, almost no one noticed.

After entering his Sizhi room, he found that Li Chunfang was not there. He consulted the officials of the same Sizhi and learned that Li Chunfang and several other officials who were good at Qing Ci and parallel prose were called to the same birthday together with Yan Shoufu and Xu Ge. Gong went to engage in creative work, and he went there in the morning, and he hasn't come back yet.

The official of Sizhi obviously paid more attention to his subordinate's article than to Zhu Ping'an. After saying a few words, he lowered his head and started writing the article wholeheartedly.

Obviously, other officials in Wu Yixun are also engaged in creation.

Is it Zhaijiaoqing Ci again? Under Yan Shoufu's leadership, Qing Ci has become the top priority of Wu Yi's work...

Zhu Pingan twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly, sat down and took a pen to write a note to see Emperor Jiajing.
