Xiahou An actually wanted to ask Dong Zhuo to release Huangfu Song, but he knew that just a bowl of wontons might not be enough.

"The kid doesn't dare to take credit, and if the master eats satisfactorily, it's the boy's blessing."

Xiahouan replied, trying to make a good impression on Dong Zhuo.

As long as Dong Zhuo can occasionally remember his little brother, Xiahou An will basically be able to walk sideways in Chang'an City.

"If I don't reward you, Uncle will definitely say that this master is stingy."

Dong Zhuo, who was in a good mood, found a place to sit down and looked at Xia Hou'an: "Listen to your tone, it doesn't look like a person from Guanzhong." ”

"Back to Taishi, the kid is from Peiguo County."

"Is there a meritorious reputation?"

Xiahouan shook his head and said honestly: "I have never raised filial piety, and now I am white." ”

Filial piety is the meaning of "filial piety to the elders, honesty and integrity".

Filial piety is also a routine operation of officials.

It's just that after the Eastern Han Dynasty, this inspection and recommendation system gradually changed its taste. There are even nursery rhymes in the market: show talents, don't know books; Filial piety and honesty, the father does not live.

For Dong Zhuo, it doesn't matter whether he is filial or not.

As long as Dong Zhuo is happy, even if you are a beggar on the street, he can make you in a high position immediately.

"Do you want to go to another place, or stay in Chang'an on duty?"

Dong Zhuo's tone was understated, as if he was just saying something insignificant.

From the perspective of his heart, Xia Hou'an must want to leave Chang'an, the land of right and wrong, and go to other places to be a petty official, isn't it fragrant?

But the problem is that Demon King Dong can't go to the end, and Boss Cao is the protagonist of this era.

Thinking backwards, Xiahouan gave his own answer: "The kid is willing to be on duty in Chang'an." ”

Dong Zhuo was not surprised by this.

Although it is free to be an official in other places, Chang'an's future is more splendid.

"When I go to the bus office tomorrow, I will say that I mean this master." Dong Zhuo said without hesitation.

"Master Xie is carrying!"

Xiahou An said thank you.

After Dong Zhuo left, Xiahouan went to the kitchen to drum up, brought a new bowl of wontons, and sent it to Cai Yong.

After Cai Yong finished eating, he suddenly felt very comfortable and praised: It's really delicious!

At night, Xia Hou'an lay on the bed, thinking about today's events, and felt like a dream.

A bowl of wontons in exchange for a future.

If I order Peking duck, pot-wrapped pork, sweet and sour tenderloin, and pork ribs in sauce......

Then you can't take off!

In the early morning of the next day, Xiahou An, who had breakfast, happily left the house.

After today, we are also engaged in career paths.

Walking on the road, the oncoming wind is more comfortable.

The bus office is adjacent to the imperial palace, located in the west of Weiyang Palace, set up in the period of Emperor Wu, is responsible for receiving local students, the people who are recruited in the bus office to wait for the emperor's appointment, said to wait for the edict bus.

During the Han Dynasty, there were two main ways to become an official.

The first is to study in Taixue, take the graduation exam, and the results are divided into two "subjects" A and B. The first family is called the Yin, and the second family is called the official. Xun can enter the palace for internship, and after having a background or family background or when the conditions are ripe, he can go out to be an official. Officials, on the other hand, had to return to their places of origin, were not appointed by the central government, and could only become subordinates of local chiefs.

Of course, if you have a good reputation, you will also have the opportunity to re-enter the central government.

In contrast, the second way is much simpler, that is, the filial piety and honesty that Fang just said.

Locally, with the county as the unit, a large number of students are elected to the imperial city every year to wait for the edict at the bus office.

As for whether to hire or not, it depends on your own means.

Walk into the bus department.

The environment inside is still okay, the stone paved road is flat and open.

There are many green plants planted on both sides of the road, and the environment is rich in facilities: there are libraries, dormitories, and lecture halls......

In general, it's about the same as a college campus.

There are groups of students inside, some holding books and shaking their heads in the shade of trees, some pointing to things as the subject of academic articles, and some of them are fighting for red faces because of disagreements......

The age is uneven, the small ones are in their teens and twenties, and the big ones have gray sideburns and trembling when they walk.

Royal rice, it's not delicious!

Xia Houan couldn't help but sigh.

When he arrived at the registration office, the registered assistant glanced at Xiahou'an, and saw that he was dressed ordinarily, so he muttered angrily on the spot: Another poor ghost!

Xia Hou'an heard it, and didn't bother with him, a poor ghost is a poor ghost, anyway, he is already poor.

The assistant clerk began to register.

"Name."

"Xiahou'an."

"Origin."

"Peiguo County."

"Is there a clerk for a magistrate?"

"Nope."

“……”

After the process was finished, the assistant officer pointed to the rear: "Go inside to test your knowledge." ”

In the hall, there were three people sitting.

A middle-aged official in a soap suit, two old men who look a little old.

Xiahou'an stepped forward and made a gesture, and the basic politeness was still there.

"Boy, have you ever made an article?"

The soap suit official pinched the official tone, and he could know from the bulging belly that this guy was not fishing for oil and water in office.

Xiahouan shook his head.

The current scene made him find a little bit of the feeling when he was looking for a job interview in the future.

"Can you resign, chapter ...... table," the old man on the left asked.

Xiahouan shook his head again.

"Have you ever memorized the Thirteen Classics?" The old man on the right also spoke.

What are the Thirteen Classics?

Xia Hou'an had never heard of it, not to mention, Demon King Dong didn't let him prepare these things by himself!

"And what will you do?"

Looking at the young man's blank expression, the middle-aged official was slightly displeased.

Although the bus department accepts students from all over the world, it is not everyone, if you don't have a little knowledge, then you can only say sorry.

Of course, if you're rich, that's a different story.

However, looking at the young man in front of him, he is not the child of a rich family, and they are too lazy to dredge and guide.

Xia Hou'an thought about it and replied very seriously: "Except for rote memorization articles, I seem to know more or less about others." ”

"Hmph, ignorant child!"

The faces of the two old men suddenly turned pale.

The young man's words seemed to be connotating the two of them.

The middle-aged official was also a bureaucrat, waving his hand to send off the guests: "You go back first, if there is news, we will inform you." ”

That's it?

Xiahou'an got up and left in wonder.

However, as soon as he walked out of the hall, he heard the official scolding the official at the registration office: "If you are blind, you don't want any cats and dogs to greet you in the future, and the official doesn't have so much spare time to chat with him!" ”

The official was submissive, and quickly nodded yes.

Xiahouan turned his head.

The middle-aged official happened to be opposite him, and he thought that Xia Hou'an would have an angry expression after hearing this.

Who thinks, this young man is neither happy nor sad in his eyes.

"You'd better not come and beg me!"

The boy said.

The middle-aged official was stunned for a moment, and then as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, he covered his big belly and laughed backwards.

"Hahaha, you see, this kid is crazy!"
