Chapter 234 Daxing Imperial Examination (Part 2)
"I..." Before Lezi could say anything, his body fell down, leaving only two red slap marks on his face. The people around him took a deep breath and were shocked.
The few green-skins at the back seemed to want to come up, but Wu Qing frightened them with a stern look. After hesitating for a moment, he left without looking back.
"Thank you so much, Sir!" Xiao Shanwen finally came to his senses and saluted and thanked him.
"You're welcome, this was our husband's idea!" Wu Qing squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying. It was also difficult for him. In order to maintain his dignity, he kept a straight face. He hadn't smiled for a long time, and he couldn't get used to it for a while.
He could see that Lang Jun wanted to get acquainted with this person.
"Thank you, sir!" Xiao Shanwen smiled and thanked Li Jia, who had been watching from the sidelines.
Li Jia also smiled and held his hands.
A group of people came to a restaurant, and the Taoist temple business was indeed doing well.
"The accent doesn't sound like a local, sir?" Li Jia took a sip of tea and said calmly.
"My name is Xiao Shanwen, courtesy name Ziliang. This is my younger brother Xiao Congwen, courtesy name Ziming. We are originally from Yangzhou. The war broke out again, but we had no choice but to leave our hometown with our families. Today, I wanted to visit a friend and offer incense, but instead I met
To such a scene!”
Xiao Shanwen said helplessly.
"These green-skinned scoundrels like to bully strangers, but things will get better after some time, right?" Li Jia glanced sideways and said.
"Of course!" Tian Zhong deliberately said in a rough voice, his face a little red.
"In a few days, Enke will be held, and I think your husband will also participate!" Li Jia did not say his name, maintaining a mysterious atmosphere, which made people suspicious.
"To be honest, participating in Enke in a foreign country is the dream of scholars of my generation. Although my knowledge is shallow, I have to participate!"
"My benefactor's talent and learning must be extraordinary, and he will definitely be on the list in this subject!" Xiao Shanwen looked at Li Jia, who looked elegant and elegant, and complimented.
"Hey, the imperial examination process is really hurtful. How can I bear it after three days? I can't bear it. I can only wish Brother Xiao that he will be on the list!"
Li Jia pretended to be a playboy, which made Xiao Shanwen a little helpless. Xiao Congwen on the side looked envious. He also wanted to have such a life, but reality did not allow it.
After chatting about some precautions and the customs of the imperial examination, Li Jia also learned about some of the folk conditions in Yangzhou before choosing to leave.
The sun had already risen to midday, and Li Jia had no thoughts and chose to say goodbye.
Here, after the two brothers burned incense, they returned to the courtyard in Panyu City. At this time, they found that two middle-aged men with missing arms had been waiting in the living room for a long time.
"I wonder why the noble man is here?" Xiao Shanwen asked quickly, looking at the official uniform that did not look like a public uniform, he felt an instant regret in his heart.
"We are just the village chiefs who manage hundreds of households. This is your security chief. You belong to his jurisdiction. If you have any problems in the future, just come to him!"
There was a scar on Li Chang's face, and his smile seemed to be ferocious, making people's hearts tremble, but his words were gentle and made people feel comfortable.
The Baochang clasped his fists, very neatly.
"You are new here, I heard you are from Yangzhou?"
"Yes, war is about to break out in Yangzhou, so I moved my family here!" Xiao Shanwen said with a wry smile, and then turned his attention to the two people here, the chief and the security chief, with a look of exploration.
"We are here just for a routine matter. We are investigating and recording the new household registration. After all, this is our responsibility. If we are not careless, the superiors will investigate and we will not be able to bear the responsibility! I wonder if you are a permanent resident or a short-term resident?"
"What is the difference between permanent residence and short-term residence?" Xiao Shanwen asked.
"If you live permanently, you have to create a household register to record your family name. If you live for a short period of time, you only need to get a temporary residence card from me. If it lasts less than a year, you have to change it again, which is very troublesome!"
Li Chang's voice is very thick and patient.
"Of course, once you live here permanently, you will become a member of our Datang Dynasty. Everything will be cheaper in the future and save you some trouble!"
"Then let's choose to stay for a long time!" Xiao Shanwen finally decided to stay. The peaceful and lively scene here left a deep impression on him, and it was very prosperous.
"That's good. You will report the entrance later and ask the security chief to register with you. I still have something to do. If you want to find me, just go to the street. The third room from the bottom is my house. You usually keep to yourself. If someone comes to trouble you,
, just go find me!"
After the chief finished speaking, he left directly.
Later, Xiao Shanwen communicated with the security chief and reported the family's situation.
"Mr. Xiao, under normal circumstances, this servant is not considered a Dingkou!" the security chief reminded.
"They followed me from Yangzhou to Lingnan, and they never gave up even though they were thousands of miles away. Naturally, they are considered part of my family. That's what Bao Zhang will remember!"
Xiao Shanwen took a silver bean in his hand and put it into Bao Chang's hand. The latter instantly smiled:
"In that case, we can be considered a family!"
Maybe it was the money factor, so the security guard immediately started chatting and talked to him in detail:
"Every household here has a household registration number and household registration book. If it is lost or damaged, just tell me and you need to go to the local manager to log in again and make arrangements. It is very troublesome and a waste of money!"
"Every once in a while, the Imperial City Department and the Jinwu Guards will check. If there is no household registration card and household register, you will inevitably suffer a lot. This is a temporary residence sign. I will use it temporarily until the household register and household registration card are issued!"
"The li leader is from the Imperial Army. His surname is Wang. He was injured while conquering the city, so he came to us and became the li leader. Many of his colleagues are still in the army, and he has a lot of connections! If there is anything difficult to solve, you can
Please ask him, he is a warm-hearted man!"
"I am the chief security officer, who is in charge of our ten or so households, and the li chief is in charge of the ten wards, hundreds of households. Above the li chief, we are the chiefs of Jia, and from the ninth rank, they are also considered officials.
You can go to the county in a year and become the master of six houses;
Under Commander A, there are three attendants who handle civil disputes, arrest bandits, assign corvee labor, and collect money and grain. I am the most diligent in meeting and greeting them!"
Unexpectedly, he could get so much news at once. Xiao Shanwen suddenly felt that the money was not in vain, and sent the guests away with a smile.
"I never thought that this capital city is very strict!" Xiao Congwen said in a deep voice: "I didn't see a few beggars along the way. The roads are neat and clean. It deserves to be the capital of Lingnan!"
"The strictness of the capital naturally means safety. Our safety is naturally guaranteed. The imperial court is so meticulously arranged. This Tang Dynasty really cannot be underestimated!"
Xiao Shanwen said in a deep voice.
"This Tang country has great potential?" Xiao Congwen asked in surprise.
