Chapter 3 Subordinates
"I'm really boring to her!"
Looking at Tian Shaozhong's sincere expression opposite, Xu Ping almost yelled out.
"Prime Minister Xu Tong, you are a teenager. How can you survive alone? I see that the maid you brought with you is still young and still a virgin, so don't feel deserted at night? Although Lianxiang is a singer, her appearance and talent are the best choices. With her as your company, you won't feel lonely even in Lingnan. It will take a few years to pass. Don't worry about what Wang Caoen said. Lingnan is no better than other places. How could the court punish local officials for such things!"
Tian Shaozhong still kept urging Xu Ping and asked him to take Lianxiang to Yongzhou. He would listen to songs and watch her dance when he had nothing to do, so he could have a warm bed at night.
As a military general, Tian Shaozhong completely ignored the ban on not being able to interact with official prostitutes. The sisters in brothels can sleep, but the Jiaofangsi can't sleep? In fact, he has already slept for several official prostitutes in Guizhou. Two of them have been very happy to help them get rid of their ancestry. One of them married a low-level officer, and the other is still in a foreign house. Lianxiang is outstanding among official prostitutes in Guizhou. Tian Shaozhong has not been thinking about it, but Lianxiang is a good sister who is fighting with him very much, and he is still shameless and has not started. Lianxiang is seventeen years old this year and is quite old among official prostitutes. When he is considering lifelong affairs, with Xu Ping, the enthusiastic Master Tian will do his best to help her, even if she is a concubine in the future, she will have a way out.
When the Song Dynasty's official prostitutes reached their age, there were only two ways out. One was rewarded to the officers and soldiers who made meritorious service, and the other was to go out to marry, and the government even had to dowry. Since the official prostitutes were not very clear about the distribution of private prostitutes, many official prostitutes were recruited by private prostitutes, and when they went out to marry, they could only marry ordinary families, and wealthy families would only buy them as concubines. Many official prostitutes made their plans on the officials they served to attract their attention. After they left their registration, they followed them as concubines. According to the habits of this era, it was more decent than entering a merchant family.
Officials in Lingnan are not allowed to take care of their families. As a result, they are not so strict about the private lives of officials. The generals simply let them go, and Tian Shaozhong had this idea.
But for Xu Ping, his immediate superior Wang Weizheng only warned him last night that he really had no meaning to Lianxiang and could not accept Tian Zhizhou's kindness.
Seeing Xu Ping insisting on not agreeing, Tian Shaozhong asked, "Since you are unintentional, why did the new poem last night be like the flowers and the moon, and the spring breeze are all the same? I am a rough man, and I can hear that this is clearly meaningful to other girls, so why did you turn your back today?"
Xu Ping smiled bitterly: "Tian Zhizhou, it was written by Zhang Ziye, a Jinshi of Huzhou. It is being sung in the capital. I just recited it and sent it to Guizhou. How could I know which sister Zhang Ziye fell in love with?"
Tian Shaozhong thought for a moment: "So it was Zhang Ziye who was moved by? Who is this Zhang Ziye? Do they become moved by the first new word?"
"Zhang Ziye's name is Zhang Xian, and he is the most popular poet nowadays, and he is not all made in brothels and brothels? How can you take love seriously?"
Xu Ping knew why these graceful poets were all romantic and talented men. They were mixed in the crowd of women every day, and their status was much higher than that of male celebrities in later generations. The status of female prostitutes who were mixed together was 100,000 miles apart than that of female celebrities in later generations. They were not held like treasures every day?
Tian Shaozhong said: "I have heard of Liu Sanbian, and Guizhou often hears his new words. Zhang Ziye is as famous as him, and I think he is also a talented man. Forget it, since Parliament Xu Tong is unintentional, I don't want to force others. But I have arranged for Lianxiang and a few female prostitutes to go to Yongzhou for three months. Parliament Xu Tong will handle it myself."
The Jiaofangsi is under the jurisdiction of the prefect, so he can't interfere, so he can only accept it.
The two chatted for a few more times, and Tian Shaozhong stood up and said goodbye.
Xu Ping sent Tian Shaozhong to the entrance of the inn. Tian Shaozhong was about to get on the horse, but suddenly turned around and said to Xu Ping: "Think about it, it's very hard to live alone at this age!"
Xu Ping just smiled bitterly and shook his head, watching Tian Shaozhong get on the horse and send him away.
Most of the military officials and magistrates on Guangnan West Road were chief and deputy envoys of the various departments. For example, Tian Shaozhong was the envoy of Rujing, Feng Shenji, the magistrate of Yizhou, and Cao Keming, the magistrate of Yongzhou, was the envoy of Wensi. The order from high to bottom was Cao Keming, Tian Shaozhong, and Feng Shenji. It seemed that they were several levels behind, but they were actually all seventh-rank rank, and the deputy envoy was the seventh-rank rank.
Xu Ping's original official was the general of the Supervisor, from the eighth rank, one and a half lower than them. However, civil officials were higher than military officers in terms of status, and they were promoted quickly. Civil officials were moved every three years and military officers were moved every five years, not to mention that Xu Ping was a Jinshi who was a super-ranked person, and he went to their heads in a few years. Therefore, Tian Shaozhong and others did not look down on Xu Ping because of their high rank. Everyone was basically dating equally.
After seeing Tian Shaozhong away, Xu Ping returned to the room.
Xiuxiu and Gao Daquan were sitting at the table, with a pot of horse hooves and a pot of dense oranges on the table. The two of them were having a great time eating. Seeing Xu Ping in, Xiuxiu sucked her fingers and said, "Have you sent Tian Zhizhou away? Official, come and taste it. This orange is so sweet! And this hooves, which are crisp and delicious!"
Xu Ping smiled and said, "I just knew how to eat! It turns out that you are still a foodie!"
Xiuxiu shook her head and said, "Who doesn't want to eat delicious food! Lingnan is so good. It's not cold in the twelfth lunar month, and there are delicious food all year round!"
"When it's summer, I see you crying!"
After saying that, Xu Ping turned his head and left the hall. Unexpectedly, Tian Shaozhong's thoughts were so unhealthy. How old is Xiu Xiu's little girl? He dared to think about that, saying that he was still a virgin. But Xiu Xiu was already thirteen years old, and there were really many people in this era.
When he came to Lingnan to serve as an official, many people took maids to take office, or bought a maid to serve him after he took office. It goes without saying that. When Zhang Feng was in charge of Yizhou, he took office alone, which made his subordinates uncomfortable, for fear that he would strictly control his private life. Later, he bought a maid to follow him to calm his subordinates' suspicion.
It is precisely this system that causes romantic officials to buy a lot of concubines when they arrive at an official place. When they leave office, they either give them away or sell them, and then buy them when they arrive at a place. They are actually maids, and officials cannot marry wives and concubines under their subordinates. Oh, it seems that Su Dongpo is just like this, and he is indeed a romantic talent.
Standing in the yard and taking a deep breath, Xu Ping felt refreshed with the fragrance of plants and trees. Lingnan in winter is still good, and it is not even sadder than in the Central Plains.
On the way, Xu Ping also received a letter from his family, just to report his safety. Unexpectedly, he also received a letter from Sang Yi. In October, he was reported to be the Weinan County Magistrate for his merits in arresting and stealing, and he was also considered an official. Since Xu Ping passed the imperial examination, the two of them seemed to have a layer of diaphragm, and they did not talk about anything like before. Now he has an official and has become much happier, and Xu Ping can feel his joy from the letter.
"I dare to ask if the official is Judge Xu Tong?"
Just as Xu Ping was thinking about everything, a question came from behind him.
Turning around, he saw a middle-aged man in his forties standing there to salute, wearing a half-new and old green official robe, looking dusty. Seeing that this man was not old, his face was full of wrinkles and a little white hair on his head, he had been through the wind and frost for a long time. Not far away was a young man in blue clothes, with a medium figure, looking a little thin, with his back facing the two.
"Yes, that's right."
Hearing the answer, the man bowed and bowed again: "Secretary Duan Fang, Ruzhou Defense Promoter, was the chief of the army in Zhaozhou. Recently, except for the magistrate of Ruhe County, he is under the jurisdiction of the Tongzong. It's such a coincidence."
Xu Ping nodded: "It turned out to be the magistrate Duan, and he went to the hall to speak."
While speaking, he was considering the identity of Duan County Magistrate Duan. The official system in the early Song Dynasty was complicated, and the separation of the official from the dispatch was often confused. But no matter how complicated the officials in the Beijing court were, there were rules to follow. As long as you understand a little, you would not confuse the official and the dispatch. The selection of low-level personnel is different. The official and the dispatch were completely together, and even the specialist in the internal quotation could not understand.
The original official of the Duan Fang County Magistrate is Ruzhou's defense and a primary official, but has nothing to do with Ruzhou. There may be a prosecutor in office there. His original position was the military manager of Zhaozhou, and he belonged to the initial judge of the Situation, and was the same as Sang Yi, who had just added the official position. The new official was Ruhe County Magistrate, and he reached the level of Linglu again. It was a complete confusion, and Xu Ping was also a little confused.
The chief officials of the Song Dynasty county were not all magistrates. Only when the officials of the Beijing court came to the county to take charge of the county and had the intention of someone around the emperor on an envoy, they were called magistrates. If they were selected to be the county magistrate, they were called magistrates, which had completely different meanings.
Shaking his head slightly, Xu Ping decided to save some brain cells, just remember that this person is his subordinate Ruhe County Magistrate, and the rest can be studied in depth.
Seeing Xu Ping start, Duan Fang hurriedly called the young man standing on the side and introduced: "This is the dog son Duan Yunjie. I have come here to meet the magistrate."
Duan Yunjie came up and bowed and bowed: "Yunjie has met Shangguan."
When Xu Ping saw Duan Yunjie's appearance, he was stunned and forgot to return the gift.
How could this be a man? Xu Ping was a man in two lives and had seen too many people, especially in his previous life, various female stars, various makeup and various photos, and fairies could not compare to them. Not to mention that this world is entirely dependent on natural beauty. But he has never seen such a beautiful person in front of him. His eyebrows and eyes are as beautiful as picturesque, and his facial features are perfect, but he combined them to his tender and white face in the most perfect way without any flaws. He just looked at the back and felt thin to the man. He turned around and matched with his beautiful face, his figure was like a willow branch swaying lightly in the breeze.
When Duan Fang saw Xu Ping's appearance, his face, which was as yellow as the old tree bark, whispered: "Prime Minister Tong, this is Duan Yunjie, this is the dog son!"
"Oh, oh, okay! OK! Come and do it together!"
