He Biqing was stunned by the scream, blinked her eyes twice and said, "Who did the two sisters say is stupid to bubble?" ”

"Oh......" The purple-shirted maid hurriedly laughed: "What about the big yellow dog on the street, running after the tail, stupid and bubbling." ”

"Is there one? Where is it? I'll take a look. He Biqing was a small person, so she didn't ask, but she believed it. Originally, she had heard the last few words, but she answered.

The two maids hurriedly pointed her out again and sent her away.

He Biqing thought of the big yellow dog chasing the tail, and ran to the small study to find Qingyan with a smoke. Seeing him writing with a brush with a sad face, he rushed up and said, "Sister Green Shadow and Sister Zisu said that there is a big yellow dog running after its tail on the street outside, Brother Jing will go and see it?" ”

Qing Yan's eyes lit up, and he decisively dropped the brush and pulled He Biqing out of the house. There was laughter and laughter all the way, but there was no big yellow dog on the street.

He Biqing scratched his head: "Isn't it already running away?" ”

"It's okay, let's see something else." Qing Yan said, he didn't want to write anyway.

The two stopped looking for the big yellow dog, and just picked up some mud and stones on the street to play around. I was having a good time, when I saw a group of people beating gongs and drums not far away. Looking at the dress and such pomp, it is not an ordinary person.

"Brother Jing, what are these people doing?" He Biqing asked in a milky voice.

Qing Yan pulled her: "Let's go over and have a look." ”

When I got closer, I asked someone again, and it turned out that the eunuch in the palace came out to deliver the decree. People didn't know what the purpose was, and they all crowded on the side of the road to watch the excitement. Qing Yan pulled He Biqing to watch the excitement, and followed him to the door of his house, only to know that he had come to his house to deliver the decree.

Over there, Qingtong was in the study, and when he heard that someone from the palace had passed on the decree, he hurriedly asked He Sheng to put an incense case in front of the main hall, and the family came out to kneel and accept the decree.

The holy decree is mainly to be employed, no different from the past, the champion was revised from the six-rank Hanlin Academy, and the list eye and Tanhua were awarded the seven-grade editorial, all of which were positions with low rank, but in the end, they were directly entered into the Hanlin and became an official. The rest of the jinshi were selected by another examination, and the selected people entered Hanlin to be auspicious scholars, and there was no rank.

Ji Shushi studied in Hanlin for three years, and then took the examination to serve. Those who are excellent can stay in Hanlin directly, and those who are second can be assigned Beijing officials or local officials, and the rank will not be too low, and the lowest one is also the position of the prefect. It is those who were appointed as officials before entering Hanlin, and those who have become petty officials in some places cannot be compared.

But it was said that Qingtong received the holy decree this time, and stuffed the eunuch with hard silver taels, and invited him to eat tea, and it became a sure thing to be an official. The rest is not worried, and I see how Hanlin will act again.

Since Qingtong was admitted to the Jinshi, the energy of joy has been overshadowed layer by layer. At this point, the dust has settled. In the evening, Mother He and the cook went to the market to buy a lot of vegetables, and they were busy for a long time to make dinner. For example, when it comes to silver taels, Mother He doesn't let the new subordinates get their hands dirty, so she guards against it.

When the meal is ready, let the green shadow and purple in the green pupil's room take it, and put it on the table to serve the green pupil and green cold to eat. Before eating, He's mother came to take a look, and there was nothing wrong with going back to eat with He Sheng and He Biqing.

The family is not very restrained when eating, and they all talk casually about what they have seen and heard at the dinner table. He Biqing is small, but she also likes to interject when she has nothing to do. While eating, I somehow remembered the big yellow dog that the maid green shadow said today, so I asked He Sheng and He's mother: "Did my father and mother see the big yellow dog running after her tail on the street today?" ”

Mother He glanced at her: "Who told you something?" When has there ever been a big yellow dog? ”

"Sister Green Shadow and Sister Zisu told me when they went to the thatched house, saying that they were so stupid that they were bubbling, and I wanted to take a look, but I didn't find them." He Biqing explained.

Mother He slowed down her eating movements, thought for a while, and said, "Was it before the palace came to deliver the decree?" ”

"Yes." He Biqing said: "I took Brother Jing out to see the yellow dog, and I happened to meet the eunuch in the palace to deliver a decree to our master." ”

Mother He watched He Biqing talk with her small mouth, thinking about today's events again, and then seeing the yellow jacket she was wearing, her heart was furious, "Smack! He slapped the chopsticks on the table, which frightened He Sheng and He Biqing for a moment.

"What is this for?" He Sheng asked.

Mother He took a few breaths, really wanted to get up and immediately slapped those two cheap billets to see who was so stupid as to bubble!

But at this time, Qingtong is at home, and the two maids must serve in the courtyard, and she can't make trouble in front of her master. After thinking about it again, I had to swallow my anger first, took chopsticks and said, "It's okay, eat!" ”

After eating and freshening up, the anger in my heart is still endured. I couldn't fall asleep when I was lying in bed at night, thinking about it in my heart. Thinking that these maids don't know how many bad things they say about her behind their backs, even if she is from the countryside and has never been in a big family, she can't stand this breath!

No matter what, in the Qing family, she is also one level higher than them. Let them talk about it like a fool, wouldn't they lose their identity? In any case, we must treat that blind man well! If you think about it carefully, you have to start from the details, so that those maids who think they are precious know that they are just slaves who have sold their bodies!

Qingtong is dedicated to his career, often in the study, and most of the things in the main courtyard are not interfered. She is also used to it, she doesn't care about trivial things, and naturally she doesn't know that there is an estrangement between the He family and the cook and the new maid. The next day, he went to the Hanlin Academy, no problem.

The newcomers arrived on time on this day, and they visited various senior seniors such as the head of the Hanlin Academy, the bachelor of waiting, and the bachelor of waiting. Then he was led through the hall into the hall, learned about the historical books in the Hanlin Academy, and patiently wrote down all the things he had to do next.

However, reading history, writing books and biographies, and being familiar with the writing of various edicts and holy decrees, all have the guidance of senior Hanlin officials. History books must be understood, and they must also have their own opinions, which need to be well worded. All kinds of official document formats should also be memorized. Then pay attention to the atmosphere of the rhetoric, and the sentences are appropriate.

To put it bluntly, he is a senior secretary engaged in literary research. Seriously consider the real power, but in fact, it is not.

Although entering Hanlin has the meaning of learning, it is different from listening to learning in the school. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that teaching emphasizes teaching without class. However, this Hanlin Academy is a political institution, which is different from the school. How much you can learn, what you can learn, who you can get, and how much foundation you can lay for your future official career, it all depends on everyone's strategy.

In the house of the rich marquis, there will always be many more opportunities and ways out than those who come from poor places. And because of the different experiences since childhood, there are huge differences in how people and things are treated, and the final fate is also very predictable.

Of course, fate always favors those who are truly powerful.

After watching the explanation, everyone listened very carefully and silently remembered the information that was useful to them.

Qingtong is familiar with Zhao Yan, so naturally he is often side by side with him, and Tanhua Yanqing also likes to follow, and the three of them are closer than others.

While resting in the shade of the trees in the courtyard, everyone exchanged ideas and discussed with each other. Qingtong stood with Zhao Yan and Yan Qing, which was also a matter of appointment.

After saying a few words, three or two people came over from the side, all of whom were Ji Ji Shi at the same time. Among them, the leader is the son of the Shangshu family of the current dynasty, named Zhou Rui, who was born with a dignified appearance, but he is not good at stubble. There were two more people next to him, one was named Wu Yingjun, but he was really not handsome, and he was also the son of an official in the household department. One is named Li Houde, and his father is a county magistrate.

When the three of them approached the three of them, Zhou Ruizuo said: "The three of them are the best people, how can they secretly discuss here without asking us to listen?" ”

Zhao Yan smiled and said, "We didn't hide and didn't hide, how can we call it secret?" Regardless of the ranking, everyone in the world can talk about it. ”

Zhou Rui nodded with satisfaction, "Then please." ”

A few people gathered in a circle and said that they were going to get up.

Until dusk dispersed, everyone had a general idea of what they were going to do.

Qingtong packed up and wanted to leave the palace and go home, but after being followed by Zhao Yan, he wanted to leave the palace together. Yan Qing came up again, and also said that they would leave the palace together. When the three of them were about to leave, they were intercepted by Zhou Rui and said, "Don't panic, if you take office for the first time today, there is no reason not to celebrate." Today, I will buy wine, in the Yuxian Building, and you will go with me. ”

Qing Tong looked at him, "Only the three of us?" ”

"Isn't it restrained when there are many people?" Zhou Rui said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Qingtong also smiled and said, "I still have important things to do tonight, I'm afraid I can't eat this wine." It's better like this, wait for Ming'er and I'll set up a pavilion room, and invite everyone to go together, how about it? ”

Zhou Rui still smiled: "How old can you be when you can eat?" What's the matter? ”

"It's really difficult." Qingtong said: "I hope that Brother Zhou will let me go today and let me deal with family affairs first." ”

Zhou Rui saw that he was indeed embarrassed to die, so he had to say, "Then it's decided, I'll wait." ”

"Good, good." Qingtong should go down and go out of the palace with the three of them.

Today's dinner is probably different from the dinner where family and friends gathered, ate, drank and played in the past. Zhou Rui invited the three of them alone, necessarily to form a gang. If you go and eat wine, I am afraid that there will be more things in the future. His father is a household secretary, and on the surface, he has found a "backer" for himself, but in fact, he has left his own handle for others. Before you see the shape clearly, how can you casually hand over the handle to others?

After Qing Tong went back, he went to the study after dinner and summarized today's events. After reading some more books, I went into the courtyard. When he got to the front of the house, he teased the birds twice, and then went into the house.

Seeing that he was coming back from his busy work, Green Shadow and Zisu fetched water and made the bed on the side.

Usually, when things are prepared, both of them will go out, leaving Qingtong to freshen up by themselves. But today they all stand, and they do not look like they want to go out.

Qingtong took a towel to wash her face, but seeing that the two of them didn't leave, she asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Green Shadow and Zisu both looked a little speechless, looked at each other, and finally Green Shadow opened his mouth and said, "We haven't served the master for a long time, but we know what the master is like." There are some things I want to tell the master, and the master can be the master for us. If not, we have no choice but to be aggrieved. ”
