Kyoto is very large. In order to facilitate management, Kyoto was divided into four regions: east, west, south and north, named Chengdong District, Chengxi District, Chengnan District and Chengbei District respectively. Each district has a small county government, which is managed according to the principle of territoriality. All affairs within the area under his jurisdiction, and these four districts are all under the command of Shuntian Mansion.
Although the county magistrates of the four districts are only seventh-rank officials, under the emperor's feet, the seventh-rank officials in Kyoto are more powerful than the local seventh-rank officials.
Xu's family is in Chengnan District, and Huaishan College is also in Chengnan District. Xu Ting'an studies in this college. It's only a quarter of an hour's walk from home, which is very convenient.
Xu Jia took Xu Changan to Huaishan College in person.
The teacher from the college first gave Xu Changan a test. Xu Changan could answer questions fluently, and Changan could recite the passages he had to recite fluently. The teacher was very satisfied and allowed Xu Changan to come to the college at any time.
Just go and register directly, and wait until you enter the academy to do the apprenticeship ceremony.
To enter the college, you must register first, and registration must use the household registration given to each person by the county government.
Xu Changan is currently registered, so as soon as Xu Jia took Changan out of Huaishan Academy, he and Xu Wanning went to the county government office in the south of the city.
The original county magistrate of Chengnan District went to serve in the Sixth Department, leaving his position vacant for several months. Only the county magistrate Sun Qi was in charge of everything.
As soon as he heard that he was here to apply for household registration, the police officer said that Mr. Sun was out on business and asked him to come back tomorrow.
The second time, Xu Wanning went there again, and the police officer said that Mr. Sun had asked for leave, saying there was an emergency at home, and asked him to come back tomorrow.
For the third time, Sun Qi was finally on duty.
He was a man in his thirties, with a mustache and bright eyes. When he heard that Xu Wanning was going to apply for household registration for his son, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked her name.
Xu Wanning said it.
Sun Qi pinched his mustache and said, "You alone can't prove that your son is your son. You can bring him here tomorrow."
Xu Wanning left without doubting his presence.
After Sun Qi watched her go out, a hint of evil flashed through his shrewd eyes, and he hurried out.
When she got home, Ms. Lu asked about household registration. Xu Wanning shook her head: "I said I can only take Chang'an with me tomorrow."
Mrs. Lu was a little anxious: "If it's still stuck, just give him a larger red envelope and maybe it will be done."
Xu Wanning nodded.
Money can make the world go round.
Xu Wanning was a little upset after failing to obtain household registration three times, and the look in Sun Qi's eyes made people feel very uncomfortable. When she heard her name, his eyes seemed to light up, as if he had heard of her.
But Xu Wanning was sure she didn't know this person.
It's very hot in summer. Even at night, with ice cream in the room, it's still surprisingly hot and makes it difficult to fall asleep.
Xu Wanning simply got up, went to the window and opened it, and suddenly there was another person in front of her.
The two looked at each other and were both startled by the other.
"Ah..." Xu Wanning immediately covered her mouth when she saw the person clearly.
Hongmei shouted outside: "Miss, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, just go to sleep. You accidentally missed your dream." Xu Wanning replied calmly.
Hongmei stopped talking and heard no sound. Xu Wanning was in shock: "Why are you here?"
Didn’t we agree that we would never see each other again after leaving Yancheng?
Pei Heng seemed to see what she meant and smiled: "Can't we just catch up with old friends?" He took out a bag of things and said, "Would you like to try some barbecue?"
BBQ?
Xu Wanning shook her head: "I don't eat midnight snacks."
Pei Heng smiled and picked up a bottle of wine: "How about you drink some wine with me?"
Xu Wanning shook her head again: "I don't drink."
Pei Heng went to Xu Wanning and said, "Then come with me to see the moon."
He gently lifted Xu Wanning out of the house. Xu Wanning's legs suddenly left the ground. Pei Heng held her waist, tapped her toes, and flew up to the roof.
Xu Wanning stepped on the tiles on the roof and felt relieved. But then she looked down and saw it was so high...
My heart skipped a beat again.
"You can't sit in so many places down there? You have to sit here!" Xu Wanning muttered, it was so high, she was scared.
Pei Heng pulled her to sit down: "This is the closest to the moon and the best view. You see, without any obstruction, you can see the clearest view."
Xu Wanning looked up and saw that it was true.
The unobstructed moon is big and round, like a round pie.
Pei Heng took out a handful of barbecued meats and gave two to Xu Wanning: "Try it, it's really delicious."
Xu Wanning took it and did not put it in her mouth immediately, but asked curiously: "Do you like to eat this kind of thing?"
"What's wrong with this kind of thing? I can't eat it?" Pei Heng bit into one and asked her.
Xu Wanning shook her head: "No, I just think you should only eat imperial meals. How can you like the snacks on this stall?"
This is a late night snack in Dai Viet.
Find a sheltered alley, set up a stall, put some charcoal, set up a net, set up two tables, a few stools, and start a simple midnight snack stall.
The food is also very simple.
The meat is skewered with bamboo skewers. After the charcoal fire is lit, the meat is placed on the rack and grilled. Flip while roasting, and sprinkle with seasonings such as ground salt, chili powder, star anise powder, etc. After the meat is roasted until the meat is sizzling and oily, the aroma will float out, spicy and fragrant, and can float far and wide.
Because it is simple and has a strong taste, it attracts many vendors who are finishing their work at night to stop in front of the stall, buy a handful of grilled meat skewers, have a large bowl of water and wine that can be drunk for two cents, and chat with the vendors at the same table. , can relieve the fatigue and hard work of the day.
Very popular with street vendors.
Xu Wanning didn't expect that Pei Heng would also like it.
Pei Heng smiled and opened the wine bottle, then handed it to Xu Wanning: "Would you like to take a sip?"
Xu Wanning smelled a strong smell of alcohol, and she shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, this wine has a certain alcohol content. I'll get drunk as soon as I drink it. I have to go out to do errands tomorrow."
Pei Heng had seen her drunken appearance, so he didn't insist and asked casually: "What are you going to do tomorrow?"
Xu Wanning took a bite of the meat on the skewer. Not to mention, the meat wrapped in various powders was spicy and fragrant, "I'm going to register my residence in Chang'an."
"This is easy to handle. Just explain the situation clearly to the government and it will be done."
"I made it clear, but they just wouldn't do it. The first time they said they were not here, the second time they said they were on leave, the third time they said they would take Chang'an with them, and tomorrow will be the fourth time. I took Chang'an there, but I don't know. Can it be done well?”
"Your area is under the jurisdiction of the Chengnan District County Government. The previous county magistrate has gone to Liubu, and the new county magistrate has not yet arrived." Pei Heng said: "Now the county magistrate Sun Qi is in charge, and he is the one who is making things difficult for you. , is it Sun Qi?"
Xu Wanning was shocked, "I understand that you said you know the county magistrate of Chengnan District, but do you also know the county magistrate? There are so many officials in Dayue, do you remember them all?"
Pei Heng smiled and said, "Jin Linwei monitors all officials in Dai Viet, regardless of their position or rank."
"That's it." Xu Wanning suddenly realized: "Then you are actually quite tired."
"Tired?" Pei Heng's eyes were blank for a moment.
