Chapter 40: Such an Official Position
The next day, Xiaochun took a few little maids to the stove room to get food, and heard the little maids in the old lady's room talking together, so he heard one of them say, "You don't know yet!" The old man was called to the court early in the morning. β
"Xiaoqin, Xiaoqing, you are a celebrity next to the old lady, do you know what the emperor asked the master to do in the court? Doesn't our lord have to go to court every day? A few curious subordinates asked.
"Listening to that father-in-law, it seems to be going to receive a reward."
"What reward?"
Xiaoqing said excitedly: "It's the case of the widow Wang, saying that the lord has meritorious trial and let the grievances of the deceased be revealed, and he wants to add an official to the lord." β
"Great, the old lady blamed the old man for offending a few rich people in the city, and was afraid of retaliation. Now that I think about it, the old man did the right thing. β
"Our lord is a clean official."
Seeing Xiaochun and the others coming in, Xiaoqin reminded: "Okay, okay, the old lady is still waiting for breakfast." Let's send it away! It's too late to be scolded again. β
Xiaochun and the others returned to the guest room with the food, and several little maids said excitedly: "Sister Xiaochun, I heard that they said that Master Chen is going to be promoted, let's tell Aunt SΓΉ and Miss SΓΉ the good news!" β
Lu Caiyun had just finished washing up, and was about to ask Xiaochun to help him comb his hair, when he saw Xiaochun come in, and said with a smile: "Xiaochun, you came just in time, quickly help me comb my hair." β
Xiaochun took the comb and combed his hair and said, "Miss, Master Chen has gone to the court." β
Caiyun knew that Governor Chen didn't need to go to the court, so he asked puzzledly, "What is my father doing in the court?" β
"Listening to the maid Huan next to the old lady, it seems that the emperor wants to give Master Chen an official promotion."
Lu Caiyun turned his head to look at Chen Bo in surprise and said, "Xianggong, great, the emperor is going to add an official to his father-in-law." β
"Who said it, it's really fake?" Chen Bo asked half-leaning on the head of the bed.
"It's true! That day, I also heard Gonggong Li, who bought silk, say that the emperor planned to add an official to his father-in-law, saying that it was the case of the widow of the king, and the father-in-law decided it well. β
When Chen Bo heard that his father was really going to be promoted, he happily instructed Xiaochun: "Xiaochun, hurry up and comb your young lady's hair, come and groom this young master, and I will give it to my father later." β
Xiaochun was puzzled: "Can my uncle let Xiaoqiu wash you?" I'm busy. β
Caiyun asked worriedly, "Xianggong, your injury is not healed yet, my father-in-law wants to ask, how should we deal with it?" β
"Don't worry! Daddy was happy that my little injury was nothing. For such a good thing as my father's promotion, I have to discuss with my mother how to celebrate. β
Seeing that Xiaochun hadn't combed Caiyun's hair yet, Chen Bo shouted anxiously: "Xiaoqiu, come and comb Young Master Ben's hair." β
Xiaoqiu was joking with Xiaodong, so he heard Xiaoxia say, "Oh, you two don't make trouble, Xiaoqiu, my uncle called you." β
"It's really fake, why didn't I hear it?"
"Won't you go to the lady's room and have a look?"
Xiaoqiu pushed the door in and saw Chen Bo half-lying on the bed, so he asked, "Uncle, you called me?" β
Chen Bo got up and urged: "Hurry up and help me freshen up, I'll go and ask my father to press later." β
Xiaoqiu looked at Chen Bo's face that was swollen into half a pig's head, and was embarrassed; "Uncle, your face?"
At this time, Lu Caiyun had already combed his hair and sideburns, looked at Chen Bo and smiled, and ordered, "You can wipe your uncle with a wet towel." β
The two freshened up and went to the guest room for breakfast, and Chen Bo took Lu Caiyun to his father's room to say goodbye.
Seeing her son's half-pig-like face, Mrs. Chen asked with concern, "Xiaobo, are your injuries better?" β
"My mother is much better, I heard that my father went to the court to receive the reward."
Mrs. Chen looked at her son and said happily: "Well, your father was called to the court by the people in the palace early in the morning, saying that the emperor would reward your father when he was in the early court." β
"What official position do you say the emperor wants to give my father?"
"Then you don't need to ask, the official position must be bigger than it is now."
As the two were talking, they heard the little maid shouting outside, "The master is back." β
"Soon your father is back," Mrs. Chen excitedly got up and greeted the door.
Governor Chen also hesitated when trying the case of Widow Wang, and he was not indifferent to the temptation of money in the face of his wife's obstruction, but in the end he still chose justice and resisted the temptation.
When the emperor announced that he would be appointed as the imperial historian of Kyoto and serve in the Inspectorate, he saw the envious eyes of the officials in the court, and thought more than once in his heart that if he did not resist the temptation of money, he would still sentence the widow of the king to adultery. So what kind of scene will greet you?
Coming down from the court, facing the congratulations of the officials, Chen Qing was not easy in his heart, the Inspectorate, as we all know, this is a place to supervise hundreds of officials, I am afraid that in the future, I am afraid that I will face not only the temptation of money, but also the threat of high-ranking officials, and even the relatives of the emperor!
Chen Qing, who was worried all the way, returned to his residence, Chen Bo saw his father coming back, and hurriedly pulled Caiyun to salute and said, "Son, my daughter-in-law has given my father a salute." β
"Excuse me! Bo: What's going on with your face? Chen Qing saw Chen Bo's half-pig-like face and asked with concern.
"It was my son who accidentally fell and hit his head, by the way, Daddy, I heard that you went to the palace to receive the reward, I don't know what the emperor rewarded Daddy?" Chen Bo changed the subject.
Chen Qing sighed and said, "The emperor appointed me as the imperial history of Kyoto and served in the Inspectorate. β
Seeing that Chen Qing was frowning, Mrs. Chen hurriedly asked, "Master, how many officials is the imperial history of Kyoto?" Have you been demoted? β
"The official position has not been reduced, it has been promoted, it was originally the fourth grade, and now it has been promoted to the second grade, and the yellow coat was rewarded to me." After speaking, he handed Mrs. Chen a yellow coat.
"Since Daddy has been promoted to an official position, why don't I think you like it very much, could it be that Daddy dislikes the official position too small?" Caiyun asked puzzled.
Chen Bo also asked puzzled: "Yes, Daddy, you should be happy when you are promoted, why are you still worried?" β
Chen Qing sighed and said: "You don't know, the emperor appointed me as the imperial history of Kyoto, serving in the Inspectorate, mainly responsible for supervising the officials in Kyoto, those officials have been high-ranking officials for many years, and the foundation is solid, which is something that my little imperial history who has just taken office can afford." β
"Daddy, you don't have to worry, didn't the emperor give you a yellow coat? When you try a case, you can put on a yellow coat to try the case, and you are not afraid that they will not obey. Chen Bojian said.
"Okay, okay, if you don't take office, make enemies first, you have to coexist peacefully with those officials, the emperor asked you to supervise them, and he didn't say that he wanted you to pull them off one by one." Mrs. Chen comfortedββ
