Chapter 276: Household Appointment
"Brother Tuoba, you are a rare person who knows my thoughts, now that the situation in the DPRK and China is chaotic, I am afraid that in the future, I will slowly lose my quiet heart as an official, so that some people will take advantage of it." Su Cimo said lightly, the delicate eyes on the thin cheeks were full of coldness at the moment.
Tuoba Heng nodded, and then said, "I know your worries, and I also know that you remember that my power is not as strong as that of the Seventh Prince and the Crown Prince, so I am afraid that I will not be able to protect you." ”
Su Cimo shook his head at this time, and under the cold moonlight, Su Cimo's face looked a little more melancholy.
"Originally, we were officials in the court, and it was an instinctive thing to protect ourselves, and my relationship with Brother Tuoba was just between friends, and I knew that you would lend a helping hand when I needed it, but I also knew that there were some things that could not be too harsh." Su Cimo said with a look of wanting to speak and stopping.
Tuoba Heng knew that she was afraid that the same thing would happen to her father, if she was framed and even the emperor no longer trusted her, would her fate end up like Su's father? What about a tragic death in prison?
Tuoba Heng was slightly stunned in his heart, and then said: "You should have dispelled these bad thoughts, because you are now you, not Father Su." You should know the truth that blue is better than blue. As long as you are upright and upright and think about the emperor and the court, will you still be afraid of the criticism of those people!? Also, if you don't feel powerful enough, just keep trying. ”
Su Cimo suddenly felt enlightened when he heard his words, it was true that his conjectures just now were too narrow, if he was dedicated to upward, working hard to serve the court and forgetting those unpleasant things, maybe those sorrows would not find her at all.
Su Cimo immediately laughed happily, and then she nodded at Tuoba Heng and then said: "Well, okay, thank you Brother Tuoba for educating me again this time, I don't know how to thank you." ”
Tuoba Heng immediately smiled, and then said casually, "It's okay." ”
Afterwards, Su Cimo and Tuoba Heng walked together under the cold moonlight in the direction of Su Mansion.
Because tomorrow is the first day for Su Cimo to go to the court to take over the official position, Tuoba Heng reminded her a lot of words with great concern, such as when to go to the court, when will the ordinary adults arrive, and when to go to the court, and where to go from is the nearest way.
Su Cimo sighed again, Tuoba Heng really cared about her too much.
Early the next morning, Su Cimo got up early, because she was only going to report today, so she didn't have to go to the court too early, but to report before those Shangshu adults in the household department and received the clothes before she could go to the household department to work.
Su Cimo got up early and found that her mother had already prepared breakfast for Su Cimo, and when she saw Su Cimo getting up, she didn't forget to tell her a few more words that she must eat breakfast before going out.
So Su Cimo had to sit at the table and eat breakfast.
Su Cimo was as usual today, wearing a white gauze dress with a white crown and looking like a scholar, Su Cimo didn't think much about it, anyway, someone in the court would send her new clothes.
After breakfast, Liu quickly instructed the family members to take out the horses that had been fed in the backyard early in the morning and put them in the carriage, and sent Su Cimo to serve in the palace.
"Be careful along the way." Liu Shi looked at Su Cimo who was sitting in the carriage and hurriedly said to her, his face full of concern.
Su Cimo saw the happy and slightly unbearable look in her mother's eyes, and her heart suddenly changed, she knew that her mother was worried about her, but she still raised a smile and said to her mother: "Mother, don't worry, Cimo will not embarrass you!" ”
Liu nodded at this time, and then ordered the only family member in the family to hurry up and ride his horse to see Cimo away.
The man quickly stretched out his whip and beat the horse, and then the carriage was gone.
Watching Su Cimo ride away in the carriage, Liu felt a slight uncomfortable feeling in her heart, thinking of her father, who was an official and upright but still being plotted by others, she really didn't know whether it was right or wrong for her to let Cimo do this.
Liu saw that the carriage had driven out of the alley and disappeared from view, so he shook his head helplessly, and then turned around and went home.
Soon, the carriage pulled Su Cimo to the gate of the palace, Su Cimo according to Tuoba Heng's instructions, the first time to enter the palace from the east gate, and then she walked quickly in the direction of the internal affairs office, after arriving at the internal affairs office, the part-time civil official inside saw Su Cimo coming, and a happy smile leaked on his face.
"Lord Vice-Imperial History, you can come here this morning! It's not like those who came to the palace for the first time to be an official. The civil servant joked with a smile.
"Let the minister laugh, it's really not the first time Su Cimo has come, he came to intern last time, have you forgotten me!?" Su Cimo pretended to be close to talk to him, the man looked at Su Cimo and thought for a while, only to think that a few months ago, a newcomer had been rewarded by the emperor to intern as a prime minister in the court.
Suddenly, a look of surprise and joy leaked from the civil official's face, and then he nodded and said, "Oh, it is indeed true. It seems that it will be a matter of time before Master Su enters the court. ”
Su Cimo waved his hand helplessly, but he didn't want to talk about those topics anymore. The civil official found Su Cimo's name on the booklet in front of him, and went to the storeroom in the backyard to look for something for a while.
After waiting for a while, he returned to the front yard, and then had an extra set of blue-brown official clothes and an official hat tied with red tassels.
"Oh, Master Su, this is the official uniform prepared for you by the Ministry of Internal Affairs." The civil official said, and then handed the official uniform into Su Cimo's hands.
"Well, thank you." Su Cimo clasped his hands into fists and saluted the adult, and then took the official uniform.
"You're so gracious." The smile on the face of the civil official, who doesn't know that the reputation of this Su Cimo champion is well-known, it is estimated that the emperor will have to be favored for a while when he has just entered the imperial court! Who can't wait to see such a fragrant glutton?
Su Cimo came to a secluded place, and then found a place where the palace people could change their clothes inside, and put on the official uniform, after putting on the official uniform, in front of the bronze mirror, Su Cimo looked at himself in the mirror who was wearing a wide blue-brown official uniform embroidered with cloud goose patterns, and his heart was both happy and a little sad.
The thin face could barely hold up the rack of the clothes. But she immediately sank her face, revealing a majesty and majesty that only adults have, and then Su Cimo put the official hat on her head, tied the belt, and then she went out and walked towards the palace courtyard where the household was located.
After arriving at the household department, several officials who had come to the court had gathered in the courtyard at this time, and those ministers gathered in groups in the courtyard to stand together and talk.
There is also a very lush old locust tree growing in this courtyard, and the morning birds on the tree are chirping non-stop, which adds a lot of fun to this dull atmosphere.
Suddenly, someone saw Su Cimo coming, so the man immediately raised his hand and laughed, and walked in the direction of Su Cimo.
"Congratulations! Master Su, I can get the emperor's reward to come to our household as an official. The man, who was about forty or fifty years old, said, and as he spoke, he bowed to Su Cimo.
Su Cimo smiled, and in a panic, he also gave him a salute in return: "You're welcome, my lord." ”
Then the ministers of the household department in a courtyard heard the sound and came over to salute Su Cimo, because Su Cimo served as the deputy imperial history, which is the largest official position in the household department under the household department. The official position is the same as that of the household servant, but in this court, there is no squire, only the position of imperial history.
So basically in the courtyard of this household, as long as it is not Lord Shangshu, they are basically Su Cimo's subordinates.
Su Cimo greeted them one by one, and then everyone also stepped forward to introduce themselves, because of the large number of households, Su Cimo came today, and he only got to know them by looking at their faces, because he had seen the brochure of Tuoba Heng's household personnel before, so Su Cimo can only speed up now to remember the appearance of the corresponding person on the list.
At this time, an old minister who was a little older in the crowd walked over, and then said: "Master Su, I am also Zhang Mingchang, the imperial history of this household, and we will be familiar with each other in the future." ”
Su Cimo looked at the old minister's peaceful expression, and immediately saluted the old minister with a happy face.
"Su Cimo has seen Master Zhang Yushi." Su Cimo said with a smile. It is often heard that there are two imperial histories in this household, and this Zhang Mingchang is another imperial history master in addition to Su Cimo.
At this time, everyone has almost met each other, and they are familiar with each other.
At this time, a man with his hands behind his back walked outside the door, and he looked fat in a cyan peacock pattern official uniform, so he seemed to walk a little slowly. But suddenly, the old ministers around Su Cimo suddenly became quiet, and they all consciously stood in a row. Su Cimo didn't know who pulled him and stood in the crowd.
As soon as the minister outside the gate entered, the ministers all over the courtyard looked nervous, and then immediately knelt down and saluted the minister who came into the courtyard: "Meet Lord Shangshu." ”
Su Cimo was no exception, kneeling in the crowd with them and bowing to Hubu Shangshu.
As soon as Lin Xiaoru saw his courtiers kneeling down to him, he didn't have much look on his face, but just shook his head as if he had nothing to do, and then said in a somewhat ugly voice: "Get up!" ”
The ministers stood up from the ground when they heard the sound, and then the head of the household department continued: "I heard that the champion is going to come to the household department today, what about the others!?" Arrived!? ”
After finishing speaking, the crowd all looked towards Su Cimo, and Lin Xiaoru also followed the eyes of the courtiers, and then saw an extremely thin figure in the crowd.
