Chapter 1020 Nameless Black Gold Token
The couple sat in the Shen Mansion for half an hour, and they had almost finished their tea and chatted.
Mrs. Jiang was reluctant to leave, so Jiang Zhiming helped her up with a smile and said, "Sir Shen, I'm really in a hurry to take up my post. I've also sent a letter to General Yu. I'll go and say goodbye to him later. I won't bother you any more."
Shen Zheng smiled and nodded, then stood up and walked them to the gate of the mansion. Nanny Gu handed over the gift box that she had prepared long ago.
There is an unwritten rule among court officials - when an official leaves Beijing to bid farewell to his colleagues, his colleagues must give him a "farewell gift".
This farewell gift has two meanings.
One is to convey the farewell feeling of "I can't bear to see you go" to those who are traveling far away; the other is to express the good wishes of "safe journey" and "bright future".
The gifts can be poems, songs, paintings or jade.
If the person giving the gift is financially strapped, it's ok to give some dry food or pancakes; it's a thoughtful gesture.
Jiang Zhiming did not refuse. He accepted it with a smile, and then he and Shen Zheng exchanged greetings and said goodbye.
The couple boarded the carriage. After making sure it had left Yintai Street, they rubbed their hands excitedly and looked at each other: "Demolish?"
"dismantle!"
The two reached a consensus.
They were very curious about what farewell gift Lord Shen would give.
Mrs. Jiang solemnly held the gift box in her arms. The copper buckle opened with a "click", and the lid was slowly opened. Several small items lay quietly on the velvet cloth, with charming light flowing on them.
"My God!"
Just as Mrs. Jiang saw what was in the box, the carriage jolted violently, her center of gravity tilted, and she crashed into the curtain.
"Ma'am, be careful!"
Jiang Zhiming cried out in surprise and protected the box in her hand.
"Luckily I didn't drop it." He held the gift box, still feeling a lingering fear. "These are all great treasures, Madam. I've heard people say that glassware can't be dropped. If it touches the ground, it will break. Ouch, Madam, be gentle..."
Mrs. Jiang, who had settled down, grabbed his ear and gnashed her teeth, "This broken carriage should have been replaced long ago! When we get there, you must get me a comfortable carriage, do you hear me?"
She didn't blame Jiang Zhiming for not protecting her when faced with a choice between two options, but instead blamed the carriage.
Jiang Zhiming chuckled, "I heard it, I heard it. Don't worry, Madam. I'll give you some cotton padding when the time comes, so you won't get shaken."
After the little incident passed, the two turned their gaze back to the gift box and rubbed their hands again.
Jiang Zhiming was the first to pick up a pair of glasses, looked at them left and right, and couldn't let them go.
"I was wondering why Lord Shen kept asking me about my eyesight before we went to the East and West Square yesterday, and even drew a few symbols to test me..."
He carefully put the glasses frame on his ear and shook his head with joy. "It turns out that Lord Shen prepared a gift for me without knowing that I was about to take up my post. Hehe."
He took this thought seriously.
After putting on the glasses, his vision suddenly became clear after a slight discomfort. He looked up and exclaimed, "Madam, this is so clear!"
No wonder so many people want to curry favor with Lord Shen. This, this, this, this is really worth currying favor with!
Mrs. Jiang held something in her hand and nodded in agreement, "It's indeed very clear... Master, I can even see the hairs on your face."
"what?"
Jiang Zhiming moved his position and looked at what was in Mrs. Jiang's hand. He unexpectedly saw himself wearing glasses.
how to say.
He is very handsome and very cool.
The next moment, the man in the mirror widened his eyes again: "Is this the glass mirror they mentioned?"
Just now, this small mirror was placed upside down. He thought it was just a small gadget to make up the number, but who would have thought...
"Master Shen is so generous..." Madam Jiang couldn't bear to take her eyes off the mirror. She touched her face and said, "How many noble ladies in the mirror wanted a glass mirror, and I got a bargain..."
A bargain?
Jiang Zhiming coughed lightly and adjusted his glasses, "Madam, it's not right to say that."
He picked up the last small item in the box - the glass hairpin, and gently put it on Madam Jiang, admiring her and saying, "Lord Shen is willing to give us such a precious treasure, which is the greatest recognition for you, your husband!"
After arriving at the place, he put the glasses on his nose...
Who doesn't know that Jiang Zhiming is good friends with Lord Shen?
The wheels of the carriage turned towards the Yongning Earl's Mansion, and the laughter of the two was blown away by the wind.
......
At noon, Shen Zheng took a car to the relief center.
The relief center covers a large area and was built in a hurry. Although some facilities are not yet perfect, it can operate normally and ensure the basic living of the people there.
The main gate is about ten feet wide. Although the two heavy elm doors are not painted, they are made of solid materials. A lacquered wooden plaque is hung on the lintel. The big characters "Xianhuanhui Relief Center" are written in powerful strokes, showing the solemnity.
On the left side of the main entrance was a notice wall, and Shen Zheng took Hua Duo over there.
Hua Duo volunteered and read a notice: "Relief Center... See, See..."
"Regulations." Shen Zheng smiled and said, "'Relief Center regulations.'"
Hua Duo blushed and looked at another notice in disbelief, saying in surprise, "Master, I know this one!"
Shen Zheng pretended to listen and said confidently, "What you need to know before entering!"
"Not bad." Shen Zheng praised without hesitation: "You have made great progress. I guess by the time we return to Tongan County, you will be able to read it on your own. But in fact, this notice is posted here for people like us to see."
How many Li Hongmao are there in this world?
There are really not many literate migrant beggars.
There were many people watching the excitement at the door, so the two of them only stopped at the door for a while and then walked inside.
The man guarding the door was dressed in the uniform of a constable, and the iron ruler in his hand was brand new, shining coldly in the sunlight.
Shen Zheng thought that they must be the "capital constables" that Mu Qing mentioned - after the incident with Fang Lizheng of Dongtao Village, the capital government tightened its grip and sent constables to garrison there every day. They were afraid that trouble would arise at the relief center again, which would be difficult to explain to the Jingzhao Prefecture.
The Xianhuan Society had just started accepting refugees and was a little short of manpower, so they gladly accepted the kindness of the Jingji government.
In short - don't waste it.
"Who are you?" The constable took a look at them and held out his iron bar. "You are not refugees, so why are you here at the relief center?"
Could it be that she is like that young lady from the prime minister's mansion, seeking trouble?
"I'm here to do some work." Hua Duo took out the token from his arms and replied.
Looking at the black gold token engraved with the three words "Xianhuanhui", the Jingji constable was so shocked that he even forgot to take back the iron ruler.
Long before they arrived at the Ring Society to take up their duties, their superiors had told them: "The Ring Society has four types of tokens. Minor stewards wear hardwood tokens engraved with their names; senior stewards wear brass tokens also with their names; and the president and vice president wear ebony tokens, also with their names."
At that time, they asked, "What kind of token is left?"
"The nameless black gold token," the boss replied. "There's only one in the entire Ring Society, and it belongs to Lord Shen. If you see the black gold token, kneel down. That's for sure."
