Chapter XXVI: Female Officers
Back at the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, Chang Runzhi told the old lady about his illness.
The old lady also knew from Xiao Han that she was uncomfortable when she came to Xiaoji, and while cherishing her, she also complained that she was hiding illness and avoiding medical treatment, counted her down twice, and let her go back to her courtyard, so that she could rest for a while and come back.
An Yuanhou heard his wife say that his daughter was not in good health, thinking that she had suffered a big crime in the Fang family, and she felt even more guilty in her heart.
Chang Runzhi'an made a medicine jar for several days, and his body finally stabilized.
This time I really suffered a big crime, and my vitality was greatly damaged.
The doctor who came to the house to recuperate for her body once wondered how this patient could be so lacking in qi and blood at such a young age.
Fortunately, he is not a person who talks much, he only helps Chang Runzhi to regulate his body, but he also saves another incident.
A few days later, Chang Runzhi returned to his normal state and went to the old lady's courtyard to prepare for "reinstatement".
As for what the crown princess said that day, she didn't take it to heart.
She weighs a few pounds and taels, she knows for herself.
The crown princess asked her to be a female official, most likely to compensate her.
After all, she is a divorced woman, if she can be a female official, she can also increase her value if she remarries in the future.
As long as she refuses, the crown princess will not force it.
Chang Runzhi thought easily, but the old lady blinded her with a word.
"You mean...... Let me go to the Prince's Mansion as a female official? ”
"That's right."
Han sat cross-legged on the couch and said, "The crown princess personally mentioned this matter, so naturally it is not easy to refuse. I have already asked your mother to send someone to reply to the crown princess, and the princess has asked you to go to the ministry at any time. ”
"But ......" Chang Runzhi suddenly felt that it was difficult to ride a tiger: "Old lady, I don't know how to be a female official at all!" ”
"Who will do it in the first place?" Han Shi disagreed: "The crown princess personally asked you to be a female official, but she gave you a lot of face, and you can't refuse." You go back and rest for two more days, be in a good mood, pack your bags, and go to the official department first. When you get there, someone will teach you how to do it. ”
Chang Runzhi was stunned.
A place like the Prince's Mansion, she really doesn't want to go in!
Now, she can't help refusing, not to mention that Xiao Han has already sent someone to reply to the crown princess, if she wants to say no more at this time, it will be difficult for the crown princess to explain.
Chang Runzhi stiffened his head and spent two days studying the position of female officer.
The female official of the Great Wei is actually different from the "Six Bureaus" Shang Gong in history that she knows.
Perhaps because of the open atmosphere of the Great Wei Dynasty, there are not many rules between men and women, and it is common for men and women to sit at a mixed table.
This female official is just like other men who are officials, with rank and wealth.
It's just that now men are officials, and the two systems of being recommended by the family and selecting officials by the imperial examination are parallel; As an official, it is simpler.
Usually a woman who can be a female official, not from a low background, not a little learned, and appointed by a high-ranking official or court lady to work in the court or serve in the inner court.
Chang Runzhi is the latter type, designated by the crown princess, to enter the prince's mansion to assist the princess in handling the affairs of the prince's mansion.
To put it in layman's terms, it is the housekeeper.
In fact, she has only one duty - to obey the arrangement of the crown princess.
Chang Runzhi was half lying on the pear blossom wooden table, holding his cheeks coyly.
When she thought of so many warblers and Yanyan in the prince's mansion, she felt that her brain hurt.
Crown Princess, Crown Princess, why do you have to pull me into your battle arena!
Chang Runzhi excused himself from the cold and delayed the time to report to the ministry.
During this period, Chang Muzhi returned to his parents' home once.
After seeing the old lady and Xiao Han, she came to Chang Runzhi with a smile, took her hand and looked at her directly, and saw Chang Runzhi's heart.
"Eldest sister, you are ......"
"Runzhi is so pretty." Chang Muzhi patted her hand: "I heard that you met the Nine Emperor Princes in the palace?" ”
Chang Runzhi's face suddenly turned black, and he couldn't help but think of her face slightly red in order to prevent the Nine Emperor Princes from going to the imperial doctor, and she had to say that she had come to her little day.
"Look at you, shy?" Chang Muzhi immediately laughed at her: "It seems that our Runzhi has a good impression of the Nine Emperor Princes." ”
Chang Runzhi thought about it carefully, but felt that this Nine Emperor Princes was indeed a good person.
originally thought that he was rumored to be ominous, and he should be a cold person, but he didn't expect that he still had a warm intestine of the old way.
"Hmm...... He has a good heart and is willing to help. ”
This is Chang Runzhi's first impression of him.
Chang Mu was stunned.
Kind-hearted and helpful?
Is this talking about the ninth brother?
"Eldest sister, what are you here for?" Chang Runzhi looked at Chang Muzhi's weird face and couldn't help asking, "Are you just here to make fun of me?" ”
"I don't have it." Chang Muzhi hurriedly came back to his senses and waved his hand, and said with a smile: "The Nine Emperors have a very good impression of you, I came to the palace yesterday and mentioned you, saying that you are not in good health, and there are some medicinal materials in his mansion that have been sealed for a long time, let me help him give them to you." ”
Chang Muzhi covered his lips and smiled: "I have already given it to the old lady, let her old man use it for you to make up for your body." ”
As he spoke, he winked at Chang Runzhi.
Chang Runzhi looked back at her speechlessly, but his heart was a little pounding.
"By the way, how did I hear you're getting cold again?" After the joke, Chang Muzhi asked her.
Chang Runzhi shrugged helplessly: "I don't want to go to the Prince's Mansion, I think I can delay it for two more days." ”
Chang Muzhi smiled: "See how long you can delay." ”
Also, don't you have to go early and late?
"Although there are many women in the prince's mansion, the grades are there. You will be the female official next to the crown princess in the future, and the women below the crown princess can't compare to you, you don't have to be afraid. ”
"I ......" Chang Runzhi opened his mouth, but he still closed his mouth.
"It's easy to dodge with open guns, but it's hard to defend against hidden arrows. I know what you're worried about. Chang Muzhi said softly: "Don't worry, after the palace banquet, the crown princess's vigilance has increased a lot, she is not a stupid person, and she will not give others a second chance." ”
Chang Runzhi was suddenly shocked.
Big sister knows?
How would the eldest sister know!
Chang Muzhi patted her hand and said in a low voice: "The ninth brother knew it from the mouth of the person who followed the ****, and then sued me and the prince." No one else knows about this anymore, you can rest assured. ”
"Big Sister ......"
"Don't be afraid." Chang Muzhi said: "Don't forget, the old lady is the ninth brother, and you may also be a princess in the future." In any case, one cannot be timid. ”
After Chang Muzhi left, Chang Runzhi thought carefully for a night, and the next day obediently packed some things, took Yao Huang and Wei Zi, and took a carriage to the office of the ministry.
The institutions of the six ministries are all located around the palace, and the landmarks are obvious, so it is easy to find.
Chang Runzhi took her identity document to the Ministry of Officials to sign her name, and received her clothes and official card, and someone led her to the Prince's Mansion.
On the way, the little official who guided her told her: "Miss Chang is on duty in the Prince's Mansion and takes over the affairs of the remaining female officials around the Crown Princess. Because the crown princess has instructions, she will assign you specific arrangements at that time, so there is nothing else to tell you here. All you need to do is remember to come to the ministry once a month around the twenty-fifth. ”
Chang Run wrote it down one by one and bowed down to thank him.
