Early the next morning, Wang Xifeng got up early to serve Jia Lian and take up his post.
After having breakfast and changing into his official uniform, Wang Xifeng pressed and pressed the non-existent folds, checked and checked the laces of the belt, and kept mumbling instructions and seriousness, even Jia Lian could not bear it. Can’t stop complaining:
"Otherwise, why don't you just come with me and take up the post, I'll give you a position, and we can become a husband and wife team to work together?"
When Sister Feng heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "If you are not afraid of others laughing at you, do you think I dare not?"
Jia Lian curled his lips and pretended he didn't say anything.
At the entrance of the courtyard, the maids and women who were following behind all laughed. Sure enough, the second grandma was still very powerful.
Wang Xifeng raised her lips proudly and checked Jia Lian's body for the last time. It seemed that she finally felt that there was no problem, and then she said: "On your first day as an errand, you also said that in case you encounter someone who doesn't agree with you, Man, you must find a way to convince me, otherwise, it will be difficult for you to convince me in the future... Don’t think I’m nagging, I know you’ve been a general, but I’m telling you in vain.”
Jia Lian smiled and said nothing.
Wang Xifeng is a person who has a strong desire to express herself. She was not allowed to say what she wanted to say. She probably felt uncomfortable holding it back, so she was asked to say it. If she didn't listen, she would say something else.
Come to Jia Mu's courtyard and say goodbye to Jia Mu.
At this time, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan and others had already arrived to pay their respects to Jia's mother. When Jia Lian, dressed like a new official, strode into Rongqing Hall with his head held high, he immediately amazed all the ladies, old and young.
Although they had seen Jia Lian's new official uniform a few days ago, they had not seen what it looked like on Jia Lian.
At this time, even Mrs. Wang and Li Wan couldn't help but secretly sigh in their hearts: Others use clothes to flatter others, but he only makes the clothes more extraordinary!
"I've seen the old lady..."
Jia Lian came forward to greet Jia Mu alone, and Jia Mu asked Jia Lian to come closer and take a look, nodded again, and then asked: "Why are you going out at this hour? Your master has already gone to court before the hour." went……"
Jia Lian smiled and said: "My grandson is an official of the local government. He doesn't have to go to court, and...
My grandson is considered a court official, so it’s not good to go early on his first day on the job. You have to give the people below some time to welcome him. "
When Jia Mu heard this, she didn't know what to say, so she could only smile and said: "Look at you, I have only been an official for a few days, and I have learned the official airs..."
In fact, no one in the family has been a new official for many years, and Jia Mu has forgotten the etiquette and common sense of being an official.
Jia Zheng personally told Jia Lian to go later.
Naturally, Jia Lian would not argue with Jia Mu about this. He glanced at Yingchun and others standing next to him. Seeing these little fairies staring at him with brilliant eyes, he quietly turned sideways to let them see from a different angle.
I have no choice but to give some benefits to the girls because I was born with such an unmanly appearance.
Daiyu and others noticed Jia Lian's little movements, their cheeks turned slightly red, but they couldn't help but want to take a look.
Brother Lian's new uniform as a military attache is much less imposing than the armor he wore when he first came back. However, it is also slimmer, and it shows the beauty of Brother Lian's figure...
Mother Jia's old eyes were keenly aware that Jia Lian was too attractive to the eyes of the young girls. If this was not her eldest grandson, she would have driven all her granddaughters to hide behind her. Otherwise, sooner or later, her precious child would be Their hearts and minds are taken away.
"Well, since it's your first day on the job, you should pay more attention to everything. I won't say anything else. I think your master has already told you, so you can go ahead."
After hearing Jia Mu's instructions, Jia Lian stopped interacting with Daiyu and others. After bidding farewell to his mother, he bowed to Mrs. Wang and Li Wan respectively, then turned around and left Rongqing Hall.

The Xicheng Army and Horse Department is one of the Five City Army and Horse Departments, and the Yamen is located in Xicheng.
Because of the complexity of the responsibilities of the Bingma Si Yamen, fire prevention, theft prevention, fights, even cleaning ditches, dredging the streets... It can be said that anything that happens on the ground in the capital can be said to be related to the Bingma Si!
Therefore, in the daily operation and work, it is inevitable to deal with Yingtian Mansion, the Ministry of Punishment and the Town and Fu Division.
However, among so many yamen with overlapping powers, the Bingma Division managed the most nonsense and had the lowest official rank. Therefore, it had to be the yamen that took the blame.
But this is not easy for middle- and high-level officials to treat.
In fact, as an important and powerful yamen in the capital, it is also the biggest contributor to maintaining stability in the capital. Its role is irreplaceable.
In fact, because of the complexity and diversity of the work, as well as the rumored "oil and water" from a particularly wide range of sources, many low-level officials who live in poverty even want to be transferred to the Military and Horse Division...
Because they knew that the new commander would take office today, the officials and generals who had received the news one day in advance had already prepared a simple welcome ceremony.
They arranged for more than two hundred officers and soldiers who were not on errands to be displayed on both sides of the street in front of the Yamen, with a red carpet spread in the middle. They treated each other with dignity early in the morning.
As the time approached, the experienced officer, together with several commanders, deputy commanders and others, each wearing official uniforms and according to their authority, stood at the front to greet them.
At exactly 1 o'clock in the morning, the sound of horse hooves sounded on the street corner, and then more than a dozen horsemen and horses were seen arriving gracefully.
The officials would quickly straighten their clothes, wait for the visitor to approach, and immediately bow to him: "I am humble enough to welcome you, your Majesty the Commander~!"
They had already learned about the new commander, and some even obtained a portrait of Jia Lian. Therefore, when Jia Lian approached on horseback, they could immediately identify the person coming as their new boss.
As the officers and generals took the lead, the officers and soldiers at the rear also paid homage together, and slogans rang loudly.
Jia Lian jumped off his horse, stepped forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Your Excellencies, you are so polite. Please get up quickly."
The officials raised their heads and saw Jia Lian, who was so young and already their immediate boss, at close range. Even though they were mentally prepared, they still couldn't help but cursed: Damn it, there's really no way. Bi, why didn’t I get a good pregnancy...
Obviously, they believed that Jia Lian was able to take up this position because he was the grandson of Duke Rong Guo!
As for those achievements of going to the border to kill the Tatars, they were just tricks done by the top to fool the people below.
Whatever you think in your heart, you can't show it on your face, just remain respectful and approach her with a smile to try to make friends.
As the head of the civil servants in the government, the experienced officer first introduced himself and then took the initiative to introduce other officials and generals to Jia Lian, but only the main ones were introduced.
Jia Lian, however, had already seen the list of all the officials in the Military and Horse Division. When he heard the last word, he smiled and asked, "Where is Mr. Cui, the deputy commander?"
As soon as this question came out, everyone was a little embarrassed and had some strange expressions.
Fan Jin, who experienced it, said with a smile: "Master Cui was originally going to greet you, but his little daughter suddenly fell ill. Master Cui couldn't get away and has already asked for leave from the Yamen..."
After Fan Jin finished speaking, everyone quietly looked at Jia Lian's face.
Jia Lian smiled slightly and said: "Let's go, let's go into the yamen and talk again, my lords, please."
Everyone hurriedly backed away: "My lord, please first..."
