Five or six years ago, Wu Shaoying entered the Jinshi examination and then entered the office, starting from the Jinling Mansion experience of Zhengbapin. Although Jinling is a big mansion, Qin Bai's family feels that he has suffered a loss. Later, due to fate, he caught up with the vacancy of the Jinling Mansion pusher, and Qin Baicai helped to make up for Wu Shaoying's promotion of the seventh grade, so that he would not lag too far behind the other peers of the same year. However, at that time, he had already delayed for one more year than the Jinshi of the same year.

However, talented and capable people, no matter where they start, can shine.

Five or six years have passed, he has done the general judgment of the sixth grade from the promotion of the seventh grade, although this is also indispensable to the aura of the teacher's background, but if he is not capable, it is impossible to be excellent in the evaluation every year, and the boss, colleagues and subordinates get along very well, not only their own work is done impeccably, but also help others to make contributions, they can also get a little light, appreciated by the boss, and also developed the officialdom network, and various work experience is accumulated richly. In the future, whether he is in charge of the political side or as a second-in-command to assist Zhengyin's boss, he will be able to deal with it calmly.

In his letter, he made it clear that if there were no accidents on this trip to Beijing to report on his work, most of them would have to rise further. If he rises again, he will be from the fifth grade. With his qualifications, it can be said that he has risen rapidly. Many Jinshi who were the same age as him are still struggling to fight for the six grades. The prefect of Jinling, who served three terms before and after, wrote letters of recommendation to him and praised him, and the political envoy also asked him to send a letter back to Beijing, and several officials also asked him to bring things home, or send letters to the relatives and friends of the division commander in the same year. After this trip, his contacts in officialdom and Shilin have expanded a lot. Among them, there are two families to visit who are high-ranking officials of the ministry, and it seems that there will be nothing wrong with his trip to the capital.

Qin Hanzhen was overjoyed after reading the letter. Although Wu Shaoying has no intention of marrying a wife so far, it is a good thing that he can go smoothly in his career. In ancient times, people may have paid attention to marrying a wife and having children early, but in modern times, he is only thirty-one or twelve years old, that is, a diamond king, and he is still single, which is not a big deal. She was even happier that she was finally able to see her cousin again. The last time we met, it was the year before last when she went to Lingnan to visit her father, and when she passed by Jiangnan, her uncle and nephew got together for a few days, two years ago. She misses her cousin so much.

Qin Jian was also very happy to learn about it. He had dealt with Wu Shaoying and had a good impression of the other party: "I haven't seen Uncle Wu for a few years. When he was in the imperial examination, he was at the top of the second class, right? I can just ask him for advice on how to take the examination. "Other relatives and friends in the family participated in the exam, all of them were many years ago, and Wu Shaoying's exam time is the most recent, and the experience is the freshest, so it doesn't hurt to ask more.

Qin Hanzhen agreed: "Cousin Wu will definitely come to our house for the New Year, and when the time comes, will the lobby brother come to sit and sit?" She began to wonder where Wu Shaoying would be transferred if she was promoted again, "Cousin Wu has been in Jinling for five or six years, and it is estimated that he will not stay there any longer, right?" If it is near Jinling, it is quite familiar, but if it goes to a strange place, it will have to start over to adapt to the environment. I hope he doesn't go to a place where he is too miserable, because it will be too sinful. ”

Qin Bai said with a smile: "How can you be afraid of hard work when doing things for the imperial court? Shaoying is a capable person, and she has done well in recent years. Since his career is smooth, he should do more good things for the people. Just talk about it at home, and when your cousin comes back, don't mess with bad ideas. ”

Qin Hanzhen blinked: "My cousin can do it, he doesn't necessarily have to be an official in a difficult place to make political achievements, why bother to suffer that hardship?" What's more, I didn't let him not choose a non-rich place, but I was afraid that his life would be too difficult, and I just hoped that he could relax a little." Wherever the people are, they are all the same. The local conditions are better, and it is easier to work hard and get rich. Otherwise, there is nothing, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. ”

Qin Bai shook his head with a smile and didn't fight with her.

Qin Jian started to analyze Qin Hanzhen with great interest: "Jiangnan is of course the best, but it's not interesting to stay there all the time. The northwest is close to his hometown, and he is familiar, as long as he avoids Wubao, it is a good place to go. But life over there is much more difficult, and if Uncle Wu wants to marry a wife, his wife will suffer. I think Shuzhong is good, in recent years, the imperial court has to change a group of officials in Shuzhong every three years, and the people sent are all honest and honest people, Uncle Wu just fits, maybe he will be transferred. Shuzhong is also rich, and the climate is very good, much warmer than our north. ”

Qin Hanzhen said: "Shuzhong is too far, right? It's too inconvenient to communicate with our family, and I heard that the road is not easy to walk." ”

Qin Jian thought for a while: "Shandong can also be, but some places in Shandong are richer, and some places are mediocre, and there are several powerful chief officials, and it is not easy to do things under them." If Uncle Wu is in charge of the party, it will be fine, but if it is the second official, it will be harder. ”

Qin Hanzhen asked him: "How does Brother Lobby know how many powerful chief officials there are in Shandong?"

Qin Jian smiled: "Listen to what the two cousins of the Lu family said." His family's ancestral home is in Shandong, and his cousin Jinke of the early Ming Dynasty participated in the township test in Jinan. The news from the Lu family should be reliable. ”

He mentioned Lu Chuming, and Qin Bai asked, "I don't know how the results of the township examination in Chuming were, and when will there be news?"

Qin Jian thought for a while: "Count the days, there should be a letter in a few days, Cousin Chu Ming's homework is very good, and he is on par with me." Since I can get through, he won't have much of a problem. ”

Qin Hanzhen didn't think so: "Shandong also has many families and talents, and the situation may not be the same as that of Shuntianfu." I hope Cousin Lu can pass the test smoothly. ”

Qin Jian said with a smile: "Neither of us is taking the test in Jinling, no matter how talented we are, we are limited." In the early years, my great-grandfather moved our family's hometown to the capital, how much effort was saved!"

The three of them talked and laughed, but Qin Xun stood aside and couldn't interject, feeling a little depressed. Fortunately, Qin Bai was very kind to the juniors, and turned his head and took the initiative to ask him, "What are you holding?" Qin Xun suddenly perked up, and stepped forward to ask Qin Bai for advice with his article.

Qin Bai flipped through the articles he made, but he felt that he was not very clear, the language was superficial, and the words were only written correctly, so he felt that his foundation was too poor, and asked him some words and sentences in the four books, all of which were basic knowledge, and saw that he answered quite fluently, and he had memorized the certificate, but if he asked for the interpretation again, what he said was not very good. Qin Bai roughly understood his homework level, and felt that he didn't need to teach it himself. In the past, I worshiped under my own door, but I also had to be a showman, the level of the child was slightly worse, and I didn't accept it, so I didn't need to work hard for myself, and then I accepted a primary school student and started over.

Qin Bai asked Qin Xun where he went to school on weekdays and who he studied with, and found that although it was a very famous private school, Mr. also had a reputation, but there were too many students, and most of them were children of official families, so I was afraid that he didn't have the energy to carefully guide Qin Xun to such a concubine who was an idle official, so he proposed to him a few famous schools in the city, all of which were the ones where Mr. had solid learning, a small number of students, and a very reliable teaching level, so he asked Qin Xun to go home and tell his father to try to change places to study.

Qin Xun was a little disappointed, but he didn't forget to ask him again: "Then I encountered a lesson in the new school in the future that I didn't understand, can I use it to ask my uncle for advice?"

Qin Bai smiled and said, "If you don't understand something, just ask Mr." If it is inconvenient for the gentlemen, your brothers' homework is good, and you can also ask them. When you're about to take the next test, show me your homework. "It means that you don't want to come and bother on weekdays.

Qin Xun was a little frustrated, but he still thanked Qin Bai according to the courtesy before retiring.

Qin Jian and Qin Bai talked about the review plan before the exam. Qin Hanzhen also suggested that he should simulate the examination room at home and try to adapt to the time, so as not to be in a hurry after entering the examination room. Qin Jian listened carefully to Qin Bai and Qin Hanzhen's proposal, and planned to go home and make a review plan. This winter, he is estimated to stay at home and concentrate on preparing for the exam.

Qin Jian took Qin Xun and left, and Qin Hanzhen went to discuss with the Niu family how to clean up the room in the outer courtyard that was specially prepared for Wu Shaoying, and prepare him to live in the capital. Niu still remembered that Wu Shaoying had not married so far, and began to nod in his heart whether there was a suitable lady in the family of relatives and friends, and when Wu Shaoying came back, he must try his best to persuade him to marry a wife!

The eldest son's bullish temper, she has no way to forget it. Wu Shaoying has always been obedient and well-behaved, and she is the most filial, she doesn't believe it, and even Wu Shaoying can't be convinced!

When Qin Hanzhen saw this, he knew that the Niu family was going to carry Wu Shaoying this time. Now that my grandmother is an old man, she has a good temper, so why should she pour cold water on her as a granddaughter? She accompanied her and snorted, and then instigated Niu to visit her little cousin in the West Courtyard.

Qin An's new son is only two months old now, white and chubby, and very fun. Qin Bai personally named him, lined up along Qin Duan, and called him Qin Zhuang, and his nickname was Brother Zhuang. Although Brother Zhuang'er sounds dignified, he is actually a very lively child, shaking his hands and feet every day, and he loves to laugh. For him, Qin An did not hesitate to travel between the two places, and as long as time permitted, he had to run home from Changping to see his son. When Niu saw his little grandson, he was even more softened. When it came to Brother Zhuang, where did the Niu family still care about saying goodbye to Wu Shaoying?

Qin Hanzhen secretly thought, looking at her grandmother's posture of hurting her grandson, it is estimated that when Cousin Wu returns to Beijing, she can continue to use Brother Zhuang as a shield, she has to remember to remind Cousin Wu.

Qin Jian returned to Dongfu and brought the news that Wu Shaoying was about to return to Beijing to report on his work, and got another news from his father.

It turned out that it was not only Wu Shaoying who was going back to Beijing this autumn to report on his work. Huang Jincheng also received an order and is about to return to Beijing to take up his post. It is reported that he is about to take office as the governor of the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army, and he is the official position of the second rank. In terms of being promoted quickly, Wu Shaoying is actually far inferior to him. When he was transferred to Jinling, he was only a fourth-grade product.

Qin Jian told Qin Hanzhen the news. Qin Hanzhen was also quite happy. But she is more concerned about another thing: Huang Jincheng is going back to Beijing, does that mean that his sister Huang Qingfang is also going back to Beijing?
