Han Xiufeng asked Xiao Shandong to take Qingxian to "Houyi Hall" to find a room for public housing, and by the way, let Qingxian see how to repair it next, and then returned to the inner house to take a bath and change clothes to prepare for the audience.

The new official uniforms, official hats and new shoes and socks have been prepared, and the store delivered them yesterday afternoon. Qin'er took the new hair out of the cabinet and carefully placed it on the chair, picked up the comb and turned to the back to help comb and braid.

Han Xiufeng enjoyed this feeling very much, leaned back in the chair and looked at the incense lit in the corner of the wall and reminded: "Qin'er, the capital is dry, you have to be careful to light the fire candle, in case you go out of the water, you can't save it." ”

"I know," Qin'er glanced at the incense, thought about it and muttered: "You think I like it, isn't there no way, the capital is good anywhere, it's just too dirty and smelly." It is so dirty that people dare not go out, the stench makes people sick, and the smoke makes people have a headache. ”

Thinking that not only was it smelling outside, but even the house with incense could smell the stench, Han Xiufeng said helplessly: "The capital is like this, just get used to it." ”

Qin'er couldn't help laughing and said: "Yu'er said the same thing, she also chanted two lines of poetry, saying that she can't smell if she lives for a long time." ”

"I don't smell the fragrance of the orchid room for a long time, and I don't smell the smell of it in Bao City for a long time?"

"It seems to be, it seems to be these two sentences."

"This is not a poem, this is from the "Confucius Family Words" of the sage Confucius."

Qin'er was not interested in these, and immediately changed the topic: "Fourth brother, how old is Mr. Wang this year, and has he ever started a family?" ”

"If I remember correctly, it should be thirty-two this year, Master Ji said that he originally had a marriage contract in his hometown, not only was he right, but the young lady was also talented and good-looking, but at that time he was dedicated to studying the sage book, and he went to the examination again after passing the examination, and finally won the lift, and he had to enter Beijing to take the exam, so the marriage was delayed."

"And then?" Qin'er asked.

"Speaking of which, that young lady is really fatal, when she was eighteen years old, she suddenly fell ill with vomiting and diarrhea on the field, and died after less than a month of illness, and it is said that she was still thinking about Mr. Wang before she died."

"And later?"

When Mr. Wang rushed back to his hometown in Rizhao, Shandong, the young lady had already been buried. may be guilty, no matter what the family says, they won't let it ...... anymore went to propose marriage to other women's families, but it was not filial piety, and in the end, he was forced by his family to have no choice, so he made a vow not to talk about marriage for a day, and then entered Beijing with the examination basket on his back. ”

Han Xiufeng sighed lightly, and continued: "It is said that his family background is quite solid, but the expenses in the capital are even greater, and at that time, he may still be thinking of that young lady with a thin face, drinking and feasting with a group of literary friends all day long, every time he is not drunk and does not return, and he has spent all his money in less than half a year."

It is precisely because he lingered with his literary friends in Songyun Nunnery, Fayuan Temple, Taoran Pavilion and Kiln Platform not far from us for three days that he made a name for himself in the circle of scribes at that time, not only became friends with those Qingliu of Han Zhan Kedao, but even the then Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials admired him, and it is said that at that time everyone felt that he would definitely pass the re-examination. ”

"But you just didn't hit?" Qin'er asked subconsciously.

"Yes, but it was a later thing to not win, he was already poor in debt at that time, just in time for Lord Duan to go out, and Lord Duan happened to lack a friend, so he was hired by Lord Duan as Xixi."

"While being a master for Master Duan, you are preparing for the next exam?"

"Well, this master has been doing it for ten years, and during this period, he returned to Beijing to take the exam three times, and each time he lost his name to Sun Shan."

Qin'er asked curiously: "He hasn't been interested in other women in the past ten years?" ”

Han Xiufeng smiled helplessly: "I don't know this, but as far as I know, he has not had a hard time in the past ten years, Lord Duan gave him one thousand taels a year at the beginning, and then gradually rose to one thousand six hundred taels a year." I don't know if it's because the money is too easy to come by, or if it's really unruly, anyway, it's a lot of money. ”

"Where did he spend all that money!"

"Spend all day drinking, and then visit the Qinglou, how much silver can't be spent?" Speaking of this, Han Xiufeng suddenly changed his words: "Hey, I just remembered that I didn't even find two people to serve there." ”

The Han family is really not a big family, Qin'er really doesn't understand this, so she can't help asking, "Why are you waiting?" ”

"He's my friend now, so I can't let him clean up the house and do the laundry by himself. You have to buy him a maid, and find a smart boy to run errands for him. ”

Qin'er said cautiously: "What kind of maid to buy, I think it's enough to let Yu'er help take care of it." ”

Han Xiufeng muttered, "This is not appropriate, right? ”

"What's wrong with this, could it be that our family Yu'er is not worthy of him?" Seeing that Han Xiufeng was not unhappy, Qin'er became even bolder, and walked around in front of Han Xiufeng and snickered: "Fourth brother, I heard that the second master said that Mr. Wang is a great talent, since he is a great talent, we have to be as good as Lord Duan." If this can be done, he will not give up on assisting you. Even if he is named on the gold list in the future, he is still our uncle, and he doesn't have to help our family. ”

"Really!"

"So I don't need to buy any maids."

"I didn't expect him to repay his kindness in the future, I think he and Yu'er are really talented and beautiful."

"What's the difference, as long as this family business can be done, he is our uncle."

"If you think about it carefully, it's indeed a good match, but whether Yu'er will agree."

"You don't care about it, I'll talk about Yu'er," Qin'er thought about it and said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Besides, this kind of thing can't come in a hurry, let Yu'er help take care of it first, and then find out when they meet each other's eyes, won't this matter be a matter of course?" ”

Thinking of the marriage of the man and the marriage, Ren Yuer can't just delay becoming an old girl, and Wang Naizeng is still from a good background, if it can be a match made in heaven, Han Xiufeng couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, but Mr. Wang will go to Shanghai, Ningbo, Guangzhou and other places in two days, and he won't be back until April or May next year at the earliest." ”

"Do you have to go after going for so long?"

"I have to go, if he doesn't go, I have to go."

Qin'er didn't want to dream a lot at night, so she said without thinking: "Then let Yu'er go with Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang can't be served by no one at home, and he can't be served without one when he goes out!" ”

"Can Yu'er agree?"

"She also told her sister last night that she was homesick, isn't Shanghai not far from her home, if she goes with Mr. Wang, maybe she can go back to visit Yu Sangu on the way, and go back to see the baby that Yu Sangu helped his father give birth to."

"Okay, you can go and find out her tone later, and if she wants, I'll tell Mr. Wang."

"I wonder if she'll do."

As he spoke, his braids were tied.

Qin'er helped Han Xiufeng put on the official uniform one by one, and when she put on the shoulders of the military plane, Qin'er couldn't help laughing and said: "Fourth brother, it's really a person who relies on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and changing into this new official uniform plus this shoulder is better than wearing the original spirit, and it is also more majestic than wearing the original body." ”

"This shoulder is not something that anyone can wear, and it can only be worn if you are a 'small military aircraft' or a 'big military aircraft'." Who doesn't like new clothes, Han Xiufeng couldn't help but walk to the bronze mirror and take a photo, think about it and then turn around and say, "Qin'er, didn't Rong Lu send two boats of pearls and take a string." ”

"Fourth brother, are you going to wear Chaozhu?"

"Naturally, I couldn't before, but now I can, according to the routine, the military machine Zhang Jing can wear the pearl like the Hanlin official."

"Yes, then you wait a while, I'll get it."

Qin'er just ran to get the pearls, and Fei Erye walked in with a purple clay pot and smiled.

Han Xiufeng greeted: "Second master, what's the matter?" ”

"I should have changed to a new one a long time ago, look at how majestic this one is," Second Master Fei was happy in his eyes, and he actually put down the teapot and helped tidy up the official uniform, while laughing: "Didn't you take down the 'Houyitang', Yang Qinghe sent the original guy away, thinking that the two sons had no livelihood, and just now came to beg me, wanting to ask if I could find something to do for his two sons." ”

"What do you think?"

"The eldest of his family is twenty-four this year, and the family he became the year before last already has a baby; The second child is nineteen this year and is not yet married. His family runs a bookstore, and both boys are literate. I thought that since there was no shortage of silver now, it would be better to let the two boys of his family listen to it. ”

"Lao Tzu stays in the 'Houyi Hall', and the son can't also stay in the 'Houyi Hall'." Han Xiufeng groaned.

"Then let the boss of his family go to Shanghai with Su Jueming, Su Jueming is different from Guisheng and Changchun, the original group of boys in Heying are not convinced by him, even if he goes back to Taizhou, he may not be able to find a trustworthy long-term follower."

"That's a solution, what about his second child?"

"Zhixing, I've been thinking that Wang Naizeng's subordinates can't be useless, the second child of Yang Qinghe's family is not very old, and he looks quite clever, so it is appropriate for his second child to serve Wang Naizeng."

"I want to go together, I told Qin'er about this just now."

"Then I'm going to go back to him?"

"Okay, that's it."

As soon as Han Xiufeng's words fell, Qin'er walked in with a string of pearls, smiled and said good fortune to Second Master Fei, and then put a sleeve on Han Xiufeng's neck while snickering and asked: "Fourth brother, you just said that only Hanlin officials and 'little military aircraft' can wear pearls, so is it the old man of Hanlin or you who are older?" ”

Without waiting for Han Xiufeng to speak, Second Master Fei held the teapot and said with a smile: "Qin'er, this pearl is not only wearable by Hanlin officials and 'small military aircraft', but also worn by officials when they become bigger." As for whether it is the master of Hanlin or the official of Zhixing, this is the opinion of the benevolent and the wise. ”

"Second master, what does it mean that the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise?"

"The reason why the chief clerks of the cabinet and those who are not from the six departments are all red at Zhixing is because as long as they can be a 'small military machine', not only will it be easier for them to participate in the examination in the future, but as long as they are a 'small military machine', they will have Bing Jing Tan Jing to be accepted, and they can be promoted after three years of work."

"What about Master Ji and Master Ao?"

"It's very tiring to be a 'little military aircraft', and it's only been on duty in the military aircraft department for a few years, and when you are admitted to the Jinshi or released as an official, it's no different from other Hanlin and foreign officials. In contrast, it is still smoother for the official promotion of Hanlin, if the official luck is prosperous, he may be able to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister in the future, so they are not very envious of whether they can be a 'little military machine', Master Ji and Master Ao. ”

Looking at Qin'er's appearance as if she didn't understand, Han Xiufeng couldn't help but smile and said: "Let's put it this way, what Master Ji and Ao Lao want to do is a 'big military machine', and those who are donors like me and those who are from people, officials and students and tribute students will be interested in the 'small military machine'." ”

"Zhixing, you can't say that, if you can enter the military aircraft department, how can Bowen and Jin Fu be unwilling. It's just that the military machine Zhang Jing can only be selected from the cabinet secretary, the head of the six departments, and the head of the Li Fan Yuan, which is not the promotion rank of the Hanlin official. ”

Qin'er reacted and couldn't help asking: "So Master Ji and Master Ao can't be a 'small military aircraft' in their lives, and they can only be a 'big military aircraft'?" ”

"Almost, unless they're willing to go to the Six Divisions to be in charge of Langzhong." Second Master Fei said with a smile.

"And will they do it?"

"Nine times out of ten, they won't be willing, they will be going to be a waiter and a bachelor in the future, and they will go to the south study and go to the study to walk, which is different from us." Han Xiufeng smiled, thought about it and said: "Whether they can be a 'little military aircraft', they are not very good, but whether they can be the general political secretary that I am doing now, they still care a lot, hahaha." ”
