Early the next morning, after having breakfast and sending the four letters away, Wei Changtian finally saw what his new home looked like.
The third-level house should have an area of more than a thousand square meters including the yard. There are four large rooms in the east and west wing, the main room, and the back room, as well as several small rooms for servants.
The location of the new home is very good, just a few hundred steps away from the General Military Mansion. If anything happens, we can rush to get reinforcements in time, and no thieves dare to visit us on weekdays.
Before everyone arrived in Shuzhou, Liang Zhen had already sent people to clean it thoroughly inside and out, and also bought a lot of furniture. The quality was not low, and they must have spent a lot of money.
"Changtian, can you take a look at these furniture? If you don't like it, send someone to buy new ones."
Yuan'er, Zhang San and others were directing the Liang family's servants to unload the belongings brought from the capital to the carriage, while Liang Zhen was wandering around the house with Wei Changtian.
The antique courtyard is full of greenery, with red flowers and green grass covering the curtains.
"These are pretty good."
Wei Changtian had no requirements for furniture or anything else. Anyway, even if he wanted a sofa, he didn't have one.
"Uncle Liang, I wonder how much it cost to purchase these items? I will give the money..."
"My dear nephew, what is the matter with money? Why should our two families care about this?"
"This... one code equals one code, I can't take advantage of you in vain."
"If you want to make a profit, it's because I made a profit from you."
Liang Zhen said with a smile: "The demon spirit pill you gave Qin'er alone is enough to buy several houses like this in Shuzhou."
"Ahem, Qin'er grew up with me, so a demon spirit pill is nothing."
Wei Changtian touched his nose and stopped mentioning the money for furniture. Instead, he asked casually: "Uncle Liang, I wonder who lives in the house next door?"
This house is at the end of an alley and has only one neighbor.
The people who can live here are definitely not ordinary people, but they probably won't be the kind of wealthy people.
Sure enough, Liang Zhen immediately introduced: "I have sent people to check, it is a widow with a son."
"Her man was originally a well-known escort in Shuzhou City. He just disappeared a few years ago when he was escorting. It is said that he encountered bandits."
"But fortunately, he saved a lot of money from his previous work as an escort, and he also left the house next to it, which is enough for the mother and son to live."
"A widow..."
Wei Changtian glanced at the courtyard wall adjacent to the next door, thinking that such a neighbor could be considered good or bad.
After all, as the ancients said - there are many disputes at the widow's door.
"Uncle Liang, let's go over there and have a look."
"good……"
…
Everyone had lunch at Wei Changtian's house, which was a good start.
The cook and several domestic servants were temporarily borrowed from the Liang family. They will be used for a period of time and will be returned to Wei Changtian after he finds suitable candidates.
After dinner, Yang Liushi said she wanted to go to a woodware store and buy a few women's dressing tables and other items.
Because he didn't know that Wei Changtian would bring a woman, Liang Zhen was really unprepared for these things, so he finally asked Liang Qin to accompany him to avoid any accidents due to the unfamiliarity of Yangliu Poet.
Although Liang Qin was reluctant, she still pouted and agreed, and soon took Yang Liushi and Achun away in a carriage.
Not long after they left, Liang Zhen also led Wei Changtian to the state government office, intending to meet with the governor of Shuzhou first.
Unlike other states where the governor controls the military and political power alone, the military and political power in Shuzhou are separate.
The state pastor has the final say in government affairs, and the commander-in-chief has the final say in military matters.
The two are on the same level in terms of official positions. If there is no war, it is difficult to distinguish between the first and second leaders. Basically, they are in charge of their own affairs, and the wells do not interfere with the rivers.
Of course, if it is wartime, everything must be focused on the general soldiers.
The Shuzhou Prefectural Government Office is located in the north of the city. It occupies a similar area to the Xuanjingsi General Office in the capital. The undulating buildings are connected together and are vaguely divided into several blocks. They should be the office areas of different "government departments".
Soon, the two met Shao Ying'an, the governor of Shuzhou, in a teahouse.
According to Liang Zhen’s introduction on the way here, Mr. Shao came from a poor family. He won the first prize thirty years ago. He first served as an official in the capital for ten years, and then worked all over the country for nearly twenty years. Finally, a few years ago, he He was promoted to the governor of Shuzhou.
From a poor scholar to his current position step by step, it can be said to be very inspiring.
"Young man Wei Changtian has met Master Shao."
After looking at the old man with a kind face and a strong literary aura, Wei Changtian politely raised his hand and said hello.
Shao Ying'an quickly stood up and returned the greeting: "I have heard about Wei Gongzi's name for a long time, and today I meet him, he is indeed a talented person!"
"The clouds are like clothes, the flowers are like faces, the sword is flying across the twelve states, the young master admires these two poems very much!"
I have to say that Shao Ying'an's words are indeed impeccable.
He never mentioned the killing of the prime minister, but only praised Wei Changtian for his good poetry.
It's no wonder that people can become state pastoralists.
"Thanks to Master Shao for your love, I'm scared."
Wei Changtian smiled and sat down with Shao Ying'an, and Liang Zhen next to him said in time: "Master Shao, if Changtian encounters any problems in Shuzhou in the future, please give me your advice."
"It's natural."
Shao Ying'an smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Liang."
Everyone is a veteran and knows how to use polite words.
As for if Wei Changzhen came to him one day with something, it was hard to say whether he would help.
The fragrance of tea lingers in the house, and the sun is just right outside.
The three of them chatted for a while while drinking tea, until Liang Zhen asked:
"By the way, Mr. Shao, nothing happened during the two months I returned to Beijing, right?"
"Business as usual."
Shao Ying'an nodded, but then he seemed to suddenly remember something and frowned: "There's only one thing that's a bit strange."
"What's the matter?" Liang Zhen asked.
"I just got the news too."
Shao Ying'an wondered: "A caravan came back from Anzhou yesterday to sell goods, but when it arrived at the junction of the two states, it discovered that half of the boundary stones in Shuzhou were missing."
"cough!"
Liang Zhen coughed out a sip of tea and interrupted: "There's nothing strange about this matter."
"There is nothing strange about ordinary boundary stones, but that piece is the Immortal Locking Stone inscribed by the late emperor."
Shao Ying'an asked in confusion: "Master Liang, didn't you say that no one can cut the Immortal Locking Stone three inches deep? Why is it half missing now?"
"this……"
Liang Zhen and Wei Changtian looked at each other, recalling in their minds the scene where they took turns taking turns that afternoon, cutting off half of the three-foot-high stone with one knife after another.
"Master Shao, maybe this matter is not man-made."
Wei Changtian analyzed seriously: "Although the Immortal Locking Stone can shield the true energy of heaven and earth, it can't stop brute force, and the power of monsters is far greater than that of humans, so... Is it possible that it is the work of monsters?"
"monster……"
Shao Ying'an nodded with deep approval: "Young Master Wei is right. I will send someone to inform Liuye Department and ask them to send someone to investigate."
"Um."
Wei Changtian suppressed his laughter and volunteered: "Master Shao, I happen to be going to the Shuzhou Branch of the Xuanjing Division later, so why don't I let them know about this by the way?"
"It's better this way. I'll help Mr. Wei."
"You're welcome."
