Chapter 55: Two Nerds
Mandarin Duck (Seven Rank Civil Official)
In ancient times, it was called "Pigbird", it is said that the mandarin ducks are in pairs, the mandarin ducks are singing and the left male and the right are female, both flying, and the wings of the male and female cover their necks and sleep at night.
If it is lost, it is never worthy again. "The Book of Poetry: Xiaoya" contains: "Mandarin ducks are flying, and Bi Zhiluo is the same." Gentleman ten thousand years, blessed longevity", embodies the beautiful relationship between husband and wife in the ancient "Wulun", is an auspicious bird.
As the complement of the official, it is to take its feathers and tower, symbolizing steadfastness and loyalty;
"Huh!"
Qin Xiu looked at it and actually let out an exclamation.
This "Official Notes" is recorded in great detail, in addition to the civil officials from the ninth rank to the first grade, there are also military generals from the ninth rank to the first grade.
According to the rules set by the court of the Chinese Dynasty:
Civil officials have nine to one grades, all of which are birds that fly in the sky or swim in the water;
And the military generals are nine to one products, all of which are beasts on land.
In addition, the "Official Notes" also mentions that the court clothes are more powerful than the first-rank civil officials and the first-rank military generals.
That is the court clothes of the princes and princes-
Python clothes, the python pattern on it is similar to the dragon pattern, only one claw (toe) is missing", so the four-clawed dragon is called "python", so it is called "python clothes".
The python robe is the highest ideal of the scholars, that is, it means a supreme minister, glory and wealth.
Women who have been given a seal may also wear it.
And the dragon robe worn by the emperor, that is, the emperor's court dress, is embroidered with a dragon-shaped pattern and embroidered with a dragon-shaped pattern.
The open space of the dragon robe is generally yellow, and the dragon robe is embroidered with 9 dragons, with five-colored clouds in between.
1 dragon in front and back of the collar, 1 dragon in the left, right, front, back and placket of the knee, and 1 dragon in the sleeve.
The dragon robe is not exclusively for the emperor to wear, the county king and above can be worn, but it cannot be worn in yellow, and other officials cannot wear it, only if it is given by the emperor himself, but it must be "picked off a claw" in the dress to show the difference.
Qin Xiu read this "Official Notes", and his mind gradually became active, and he didn't know what kind of virtual patterns would appear when he met the prince and the prince, or even the emperor.
If he could one day gain permanent official power, wouldn't he be able to control those officials who were lower than him, and at least influence their decisions......
Time!
Qin Xiu was fascinated when he watched "Official Mansion Notes", and the master didn't bother him, entering this feeling of being intoxicated in it, the master had also experienced it, as if he was there, and the master naturally wouldn't interrupt Qin Xiu so casually.
It wasn't until the master sorted out the master's clothes and walked out of the bedroom that she exclaimed:
"Hey, you two are really, two nerds, both of them are stupid. Ah Xiu, it's not early, let's stay here for lunch today!"
Originally!
The master saw Qin Xiu reading a book seriously on the side, and also picked up a book and read it quietly......
Qin Xiudao:
"No, no, Master, my mother and they have already done it, if I eat here today, I'm afraid they will be in a hurry, and I will have a chance to come to your house for dinner in a few days!"
The Master put down the book in his hand and said:
"It's okay! In a few days, when we enter the city, we will have to come and go back often, so you can take this "Official Mansion Notes" home and read it first! There are no good gifts for you as a teacher, so this "Official Mansion Notes" will be regarded as a souvenir for you before the teacher leaves!"
Qin Xiudao:
"Thank you, Master......"
Seeing Qin Xiu leaving, Shi Niang couldn't help but nag:
"Didn't you always regard this "Official Notes" as a treasure before? I can't even touch it, why are you willing to give it to Ah Xiu now?"
Master said:
"You don't understand, although the "Official Notes" is important, it is because I have always wanted to be an official in the court, but now I realize that I do not have the natural talent of being an official. Should we admit our fate or admit it. ”
Shi Niang said:
"Are you optimistic about Ah Xiu's future and think that he is a natural officialdom?"
The master was not only disappointed for himself, but also happy for being able to receive a disciple like Qin Xiu, and said:
"You don't know that when I went to the county seat that day, even my classmate Brother Lejia was powerless, and under the pressure of his two subordinate county officials and the chief bookkeeper, even I thought that Xuezheng's position was probably hanging, and even if one was not good, Brother Lejia's status would be unstable, but Ah Xiu said casually, which actually made the other party change his attitude in a blink of an eye, and immediately decided on the spot that I was appointed to Xuezheng, do you say that Ah Xiu has such an officialdom talent. ”
Shi Niang said:
"Yo! It seems that Ah Xiu really has the material to be an official, but what about Ah Yuan?"
Master said:
"Although Huang Yuanzheng is your cousin and nephew, he also has the ability to learn, but in my opinion, he is too upright, and sometimes he is too stubborn, I am afraid it will be difficult to become a big man. ”
Shi Niang said:
"Hmph, I knew you would say this, before Ah Xiu, you were very optimistic about Ah Yuan, and often praised him, now what?"
Master said:
"Alas, it's not that you have to throw away the goods, and you have to die more than the people. It's like the food you cooked, it used to be very good to eat, but after you ate the food made by Ah Xiu, don't you dislike what you make now......
After Qin Xiu returned home, he began to pack his luggage with his brother one after another, preparing to move to the county seat.
Uncle Li and Aunt Zhang still stayed in Baishui Village to take care of the family, the two of them were older, and it was not easy to trouble them with such a thing as moving.
And they are also accustomed to life in Baishui Village, and they will grow land and vegetables on weekdays.
Big Brother Road:
"Uncle Li and Aunt Zhang, the mountain village is not peaceful now, why don't you live in the county with us?"
Uncle Li and Aunt Zhang looked at each other and said:
"No, we are used to living in the countryside, we really want to go to the county seat, the accommodation is uncomfortable, it is not as comfortable as the countryside, if there is really any unsafe situation for bandits, we will go to the county seat to find you......"
The house to live in is still relatively easy to find, and there are not too many requirements, so the mother and eldest brother made a decision on the same day.
However, the restaurant is not too easy to find, either the location is too remote, or the price is too high, or even the place is too small, and it has been looking for more than a week before the restaurant is officially rented.
It took another three days to clean and tidy up, and I finally managed to get a simple restaurant almost done!
Is it open?
Qin Xiu always wants to inform the master who came to the county seat together.
The master had long heard that Qin Xiu had mentioned the matter of opening a restaurant in the county seat, and said that he would go to the party on the first day of opening.
Then!
When the master naturally met his classmate Wan County, the two chatted a few words.
When he heard that Qin Xiu's restaurant was about to open recently, Wan County Ling immediately asked the errand to go to congratulate him, saying that when it was time to open, Wan County Ling would take time to support it.
