After Meng Jiming said goodbye, Qi Yu laughed happily.
As far as the installment payment for purchasing a house is concerned, it is simply tailor-made for you.
Now or never!
Therefore, Qi Yu showed his attitude and entrusted Meng Jiming with full authority to facilitate this matter, the sooner the better.
There is no need for me to come forward. No one has a great reputation, and if I do, I may be self-defeating.
As for the house, be absolutely careful and don't have to worry at all.
You must know that Meng Jiming has been a Beijing official for many years, and his knowledge is by no means comparable to his own. Besides, he also has experience in buying real estate.
Therefore, Qi Yu readily agreed!
His kindness can only be repaid with affection. Anyway, as time goes by, there will be many opportunities to repay him.
According to the Holy Father's instructions, he needs to wait for half a year before he can be released from office.
In other words, during these six months, I don't have to work.
That is, doing nothing.
In this case, why not use this free time to pick up your family?
necessary!
So, it’s settled!
Qi Yu couldn't help but get excited at the thought of going home.
However, it’s a bit early to be happy now, as the itinerary still needs to be reported to the Ministry of Officials. Whether they will approve or not is another matter.
So, early the next morning, Qi Yu went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and explained the reason for his return home.
The official on duty, Wai Lang, was startled: Asking for leave?
Approval or not?
Of course!
What's the use of keeping a person like Qi Yu who has nothing to do?
It's better to give him a favor.
Wai Lang, a member of the civil service department, agreed in a reasonable manner, and Qi Yu thanked him again and again.
After leaving the official department, he moved to the new residence.
Just this morning, Meng Jiming sent someone to tell him that the old eunuch's yard had been negotiated, and that he should go there as soon as possible to take a look and hand over the key.
It took about two sticks of incense to arrive.
As far as this house is concerned, it is basically square, but the area is a bit small. In the words of later generations, it is a compact house.
Just go with the small one, you can't afford the big one!
In addition, this place is relatively remote and feels a bit out of the way.
Being remote also has its advantages, at least it’s quiet!
Qi Yu recognized this.
The next step is the acceptance and closing of the contract.
Basically, you don't have to worry about the transfer of ownership. The old eunuch can handle it all by himself. You know, he has served in the palace and still has connections in the capital.
Two days passed like this, and everything was in order. Meng Jiming paid the deposit for Qi Yu, who also successfully got the key.
Since the old eunuch was eager to go home, he returned home directly after the handover.
In other words, this new home Qiyu can be moved in at any time.
Well, not bad, the property purchase in Beijing went smoothly.
However, he also became a house slave.
It’s a lot of pressure!
Back to business.
On this day, Qi Yu found the landlord who rented the house to handle check-out matters.
Check-out was also smooth and the landlord was not as rude as rumored.
It is estimated that this has something to do with Qi Yu's status as a top talent.
After everything was done, Qi Yu booked a boat ticket south for three days and prepared to return home by water.
It's windy and rainy at the moment, so it's better to go faster by water.
The route is to go south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and then make another circuit.
Although it is said that it will pass through the border of Shandong, it is a government ship, so it is safe.
As soon as he got the ticket, Qi Yu couldn't help but feel excited.
How are your family doing now?
Is everything okay?
It won't be long before the imperial court's acceptance letter will arrive in Yongchuan Mansion. What will the family members do after they find out?
Will the mother run to the street to show off?
Will the lady hide under the covers and snicker?
Will Xiaotong show off to her classmates?
Is Qi Xiao still her sister’s follower?
In addition, relatives...
I just don’t think about it, but as soon as I think about it, I become obsessed with it, and it feels like every day feels like years.
After finally calming down, I packed my luggage as early as possible.
…
In the evening, a visitor suddenly came to visit.
Haha, it’s actually Yin Jun!
But he didn't come empty-handed, but brought congratulatory gifts.
Sudden courtesy?
Could it be that I want to ask for something?
Qi Yu smacked his lips, waved his big hand, and said: "Xinke Chuanlu's arrival will make the humble house shine. Come on, come on, come and take a seat! Oh, this straw futon is good, it won't hurt your buttocks when you sit on it, so I'll give it to you."
Come and sit."
Yin Jun's face tightened and he said displeasedly: "Okay, okay! Don't you just want to show off your status as a top talent? I haven't forgotten this!"
"..."
After arguing for a while, the two of them sat down.
However, there was no tea.
Because Qi Dalangguang was busy packing his luggage and forgot to boil water.
Qi Yu looked at the gift and asked tentatively: "I said, what is your intention when you suddenly come to visit with a gift?"
Yin Jun was startled and said: "How can you talk like this? If I had known, I wouldn't have brought anything."
"Don't bother!" Qi Yu cupped his hands hypocritically and said with a smile: "I just think you came too suddenly, giving people the feeling that you are going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing."
"Well……"
Why are you still hesitating?
Could it be that I was right?
Qi Yu's eyes flashed and he said hehe: "You came here to find me, isn't there something really wrong?"
Yin Jun could only say: "Well, there is indeed a small matter."
Qi Yu originally wanted to refuse directly, but then he thought about it and laughed kindly: "Haha, fine, you can say it."
Yin Jun was no longer shy. He took out a letter from his arms and said, "I heard that you were going to return home, so I wanted you to send me a letter on the way back. Oh, this letter is for my family."
This is really not a big deal and can be done easily.
So Qi Yu directly agreed.
Yin Jun thanked him and suddenly said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I'm letting go!"
What?
Qi Yu couldn't believe his ears. Wasn't his rumored dismissal too fast?
You know, you are still waiting for your turn!
Could it be that the emperor is partial?
Alas, even if there is, there is no way!
Yin Jun was also quite surprised by this, but this was an appointment from the Holy Emperor, and it cannot be speculated on.
According to what he said, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has already made an appointment and promoted Yin Jun to the post of "Zhao Mo" in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, with an official ranking of the eighth rank.
Since he was about to take office, he couldn't find time to return home, so he came to ask Qi Yu for help carrying letters from home.
In order to express the attitude of not doing anything in vain, I prepared a special gift.
After Yin Jun finished speaking, Qi Yu said, "Well, I also want to discuss something with you."
"What's the matter? Just tell me."
"It's about your sister...Hey, don't worry, okay, let me put it another way, I want to talk to you about Liu Jincheng!"
Yin Jun was startled: "Jincheng? What's wrong with him?"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qi Yu told him about his brother-in-law's crush on his sister Yin Tao.
At the end, it also implicitly expresses the intention of marriage.
Yin Jun finally realized it. He remembered that before, he had mistakenly thought that he was coveting his sister's beauty, and she got angry with him because of it. He never thought that it was like this.
Of course, this was just a small misunderstanding, and it was resolved as soon as it was resolved.
Yin Jun has now achieved fame and can be regarded as the veritable head of the Yin family. It is precisely because of this that Qi Yu opened his mouth to negotiate with him.
Unexpectedly, Yin Jun shook his head.
"Village man, this is not allowed!"
"Why?"
"Let me tell you the truth..."
Yin Jun sighed quietly and began to talk.
It turned out that when Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment went to Yongchuan Mansion to investigate the case, the people from the Ministry of Punishment were searching around, but unexpectedly found the Yin Jun family.
Namely: Yin Jun was kidnapped by Japanese pirates when he went south. In order to redeem his life, the Yin family and his uncle secretly sent a ransom to the Japanese pirates. The person from the Criminal Department believed that the Yin family was suspected of treason and collaborating with the enemy.
However, this case was only filed, but nothing happened after that. It seemed a bit like it was settled.
Even so, the Yin family traveled a lot and almost spent all their property.
As far as the crime of treason and collaborating with the enemy is concerned, it is a serious crime that cannot be forgiven. According to the law, it must be punished consecutively.
That is, if one person is convicted, the entire clan and relatives will be implicated.
It is said that this case has not been closed yet, which is like a thunderbolt hanging there, making Yin Jun uneasy.
However, Yin Jun has now become an official, and logically speaking, he has been cleared. However, he cannot relax his vigilance just yet.
This kind of thing can be big or small, and there is no definite answer. It is precisely because of this that Yin Juncai declined the marriage, so as not to implicate Liu Jincheng.
Qi Yu secretly sighed in his heart: The Yin family is really unlucky, and the family fortune has indeed fallen into decline.
