The Mingzhou Mansion covers a very large area, is brilliant and grand, and looks exactly the same as the Princess Mansion from a distance. It seems that the prefects in the past dynasties spent a lot of money to build the yamen.
Because they were family members, the group entered through the side door of the back office.
Li Yue arranged it very well. As soon as they entered the house, their mother-in-law brought a soft sedan to take them in. Ye Zhenzhen asked Aunt Cui and the children to sit on it. She chose to walk with Cui Weizhen to carefully look at the place where she would live in the future.
Although it is an official residence, it will be her home in the future.
The front office was the administrative bureau of the government office. Ye Zhenzhen had no chance to take a closer look, and she had no way of understanding the establishment of the government office. Fortunately, Cui Weizhen did not forget his status as an "enlightenment master" and patiently educated her.
Let’s start with the construction layout of the government office.
Mingzhou government office covers a large area, and the overall layout is arranged like the word "Sichuan". Entering from the government office gate, the first entrance on the central axis is the public hall, also known as the government hall. The layout of the courtyard where the public hall is located is very common, with the east-west and east-west courtyards crossing.
The side rooms are all offices, with several officials inside. The second courtyard is the office of the magistrate. The courtyard across the left is the Tongjian Courtyard, which is temporarily vacant; the courtyard across the right is the Tongzhi Courtyard; the main courtyard is equipped with various offices.
There are several houses, several officials, and all the facilities and equipment. I will not list them in detail here.
Around the central axis, the first and second courtyards contain three divisions and eight rooms.
The three divisions are the Experience Division, which is in charge of cashiers, transfers, and other matters, the Prison Division, which is in charge of prison management, and the Zhaomo Division, which is in charge of collecting and grinding files; the ninth room is the official room, the household room, and the ceremonial room.
The heads of each department are named by the name of the department, such as experience, prison department, zhaomo, official records, household records, etc. Each department has more than ten officials under it, and these officials are not as good as those of each department.
The bosses are as interested as the government officials. They are not officials and have no rank. They are either people with no hope of career, or people who have spent money to buy and sell. Most of them are sons who inherited their father's business.
Government officials of all levels, no matter how big or small, are rotated. Only these officials and government officials have taken root in Mingzhou for generations. Their relationships are complicated. Although their status is not high, they are very difficult to deal with. They are a group that cannot be underestimated.
power.
Ye Zhenzhen secretly noted that it seemed that she had to spend time drawing character relationship diagrams again during this period. It is said that the king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with. Although these officials are small people, the energy and power behind them are not small.
, establishing a career may not necessarily bring out much energy, but if you want to do bad things, it couldn't be easier.
"Li Yue, you have stayed in Mingzhou Mansion for so long, have you ever gotten to know the officials of the government?"
Li Yue hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "To answer my wife's question, I have stayed with Lang Jun in Mingzhou Mansion for half a year, and this time I came here to settle down one month in advance. I have to deal with the government officials inside and outside. Although I said
I don’t know much about it, but I’m still familiar with the basic situation. If Madam needs it, you can call someone to explain it in detail when you are free.”
Ye Zhenzhen nodded with satisfaction and continued to let Cui Weizhen introduce the back house.
During the six months that Cui Weizhen stayed in Mingzhou, he spent most of his time busy with official duties. Even if he lived, he lived in the third outer courtyard, and he didn't know what was inside.
"Li Yue, come and tell Madam." Cui Weizhen said.
This is what Li Yue is good at, and he immediately introduced: "The third entrance of the government office is the outer courtyard of the residential area. The husband's room, study room, and martial arts arena are located in the main courtyard. There are two courtyards and reverse seats on the left and right of the main courtyard.
, the two courtyards on the left are used as residences for the two young men, and the courtyard on the right is used as a guest courtyard.
The fourth entrance is Madam’s courtyard. I boldly adopted the name of Jingli and named it Mingxi Garden. The layout of the left and right sides of Mingxi Garden is similar to that of the front yard. I boldly used the courtyard on the right as a courtyard for the maids and grandmothers.
Residence; the courtyard against the wall on the left is used as a kitchen, and the two courtyards near Mingxiyuan and the old lady's Fuxi Courtyard are opened up and used as the girl's yard. When the girl grows up in the future, whether she goes to the old lady's Fuxi Courtyard or the Madam's
Your Mingxi Garden is very convenient.
The last one you enter is the Fuxi Courtyard of the old lady. The courtyard on the right has been converted into a small ancestral hall and a Buddhist hall; beyond that is the back garden of the government office. The back garden was built by successive prefects, with rockeries, pavilions, and exotic flowers and plants.
Everything is available, the husband and his wife can go shopping later..."
Ye Zhenzhen didn't care how beautiful the back garden of the government office was at this time. She just wanted to take a stroll when she found time. However, after listening to Li Yue's introduction, she couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering. She glanced at Cui Weizhen from time to time.
Cui Weizhen looked helpless.
"Why is Madam laughing?"
Ye Zhenzhen glanced at Li Yue, and Li Yue immediately took a few steps back knowingly. Although he confirmed that no one could hear him, Ye Zhenzhen still lowered his voice and quietly said to Cui Weizhen: "Weizhen, you have nothing to do with the layout of our new home.
Thoughts?"
Cui Weizhen's mouth twitched, and he already had some premonition in his heart: "What can I think of?"
Sure enough, Ye Zhenzhen glanced at him with a smile: "You heard clearly, Li Yue made the best use of every courtyard, and there is no space left for you to place new people."
This is Ye Zhenzhen's willingness to laugh.
Li Yue was also very courageous. He directly arranged the courtyard to be full, and there was no room for any aunt or concubine. Presumably, he knew the situation in the backyard of the uncle's house and expected that his husband would not have any new people.
Cui Weizhen flicked her on the head with his finger: "Naughty! Everyone knows my intentions, but you still use it to tease me."
Ye Zhenzhen smiled proudly, her eyebrows curved, but she still retorted firmly: "Huh, it's a new place and a new atmosphere. Who knows, Lord Prefect, whether you will have a sudden idea to add something new to your life.
It’s fun.”
Cui Weizhen: "...I will punish you again tonight."
Ye Zhenzhen blushed.
Although they are an old couple, they occasionally get jealous and enjoy themselves, which is a unique feeling.
It's just that Ye Zhenzhen never expected that Cui Weizhen, the rightful owner, didn't want to have new fun, but someone rushed to bring it.
Moving has been a big project since ancient times, but if there are servants to help you, it is nothing.
Following the directions and entering the yard, the first people to get busy were the maids and women everywhere, busy placing the master's personal belongings. Ye Zhenzhen was not in a hurry to see her own yard, but went to Aunt Cui's house.
Fuxiyuan.
As a daughter-in-law, she naturally had no reason to let her mother-in-law do the work. She personally took charge and directed the maids to put away Aunt Cui's things. At Aunt Cui's request, Xin Ning lived with her.
As for Xin Ning's residence, which connects two courtyards, well, it will probably have to be locked until she reaches adulthood. Whether it can be used is another matter.
After a lot of busy work, Ye Zhenzhen had time to return to Mingxi Garden when Aunt Cui rested. However, before she could take a look at her new yard, someone came to see her.
[The author has something to say]
Please refer to Baidu information for the establishment of official positions. Because it is a new place, I have introduced a little more. This is very necessary, but it is also very boring. Please forgive me. ps: The main reason is that I will feel very uncomfortable if I don’t introduce it clearly. I laugh and cry~
