The Chongqing Government Office and the Sichuan East Provincial Office are not far from the Ba County Office on the same street, and Han Xiufeng, the scribe of the two big yamen, almost does not recognize him, and in the past few years, he has not only helped in the county yahu room, but also when the clerks of the government office and the provincial government department are too busy to be busy, they will find him to help with the transcription, and they also have to bring their own paper and pen, and the transcription is also based on the number of words.

Because of this, Han Xiufeng came to the Daotai Yamen as if he was going home, said hello to the doorman and the official on duty, and took Pan Er into the Daotai Yamen and went straight to the public house in front of the silver vault.

Ambassador Cang is not busy today, and is teasing the birds in the hall with a purple sand teapot.

Seeing that it is about to enter October, the weather is still sultry, everyone else is bareheaded, he is still wearing a cool hat in the house, a shiny plain gold top on the hat, wearing an azure satin official uniform, and his chest is really decorated with the seven-grade civil official's emu supplement uniform, with a pair of new-style Beijing boots under his feet, drinking tea while learning to call birds, this situation makes Han Xiufeng can't help but think of a word: well-dressed beasts!

"What are you talking about, you broke in without a word, when this place, I didn't see the master teasing the birds......" Ambassador Cang scolded and scolded that it was not those Kuding under him who came, and couldn't help laughing: "Who am I talking about, it turned out to be Xiao Si'er, you are a rare guest, what kind of wind blew you here?" ”

"Ambassador Liu, it's not like I haven't been here for some days, and I happen to be free today, so I'll come and see you and say hello." Han Xiufeng didn't just say the official dialect of the capital, and learned to play a decent thousand, and then pointed to the melons and fruits that Pan was carrying in the second hand: "I met it on the way here, and I bought a basket for you to taste when I saw it fresh." ”

Ambassador Cang didn't know Han Xiufeng on the first day, looked at the melons and fruits, looked back and smiled: "I said Xiao Si'er, when did you become so generous, is there something wrong?" ”

"Look at what you said, I can't buy some melons and fruits to honor you if it's okay?"

"I really don't know about others, I know you kid, you have nothing to do, there must be something!"

Han Xiufeng no longer circled with him, nor did he learn the tongue-twisting official dialect of the capital with him, and said with a smile: "I know that I can't hide it from you, there are two things today, one is to congratulate you on your promotion to the seventh-grade candidate magistrate, and the other is that I also donated an official, of course, it can't be compared with you, but I finally donated one, and I will go to the capital in a few days to confess, and I will come to resign with you." ”

"Jiupin Alternate Inspection, right?" Ambassador Cang looked at him with a smile and asked.

"How do you know?" Han Xiufeng asked in surprise.

"Chongqing Mansion is so big, I don't know what's going on." Ambassador Cang put down the teapot, patted him on the arm and said with a smile: "The previous rooms have already spread, and I heard that the official document to apply for the transfer of officials has also arrived." In the end, I have mixed in the yamen, there are many acquaintances, and it is easy to do things if you have acquaintances. Otherwise, I don't know how long it will take, and I don't know how much money it will cost. ”

"Look at what you said, it's not all thanks to your Ambassador Liu and those uncles in the seventh room."

"You grew up with them, so they naturally want to take care of you, but I don't, and I don't dare to laugh at you kid." Ambassador Cang also didn't want to waste his words, so he immediately changed his words: "Little Si'er, do you want to ask me to help you write a few letters today, so that when you get to the capital, you can run less unjust roads and spend less unjust money?" ”

Although he donated a seven-grade crown, he was only a warehouse ambassador in the final analysis, and he was also a scribe in the capital before he came to Sichuan, as if he was on an errand in the household department.

Han Xiufeng thought to himself that what I asked for was the Ministry of Officials, what was the use of asking you, a former household scrivener, to write a letter, and then thought that since he had opened this mouth, he simply followed his words and smiled: "Ambassador Liu, I really don't hide it, I really came here for this." You have worked as an errand in the household department, and you have lived at the feet of the Son of Heaven for so many years, and there will be no shortage of relatives and friends. ”

To his surprise, Ambassador Cang shook his head: "Little Si'er, if you think about it, you are also a person, I will tell you a few words from the bottom of my heart, it is easy to make up for the vacancy of donors, and this lack is really not so easy to fill!" With this money, it is better to go back to the hometown to buy 100 acres of land, marry a daughter-in-law, give birth to a few cubs, and live a good life. ”

Ambassador Liu......

"Listen to me, do you kid look at me red? It's normal to see my eyes red, but you can't just see people like me who can fill the gap and become a Shangguan, you also have to think about how many eyes are waiting to fill the gap, and as a result, after waiting year after year, the poor don't even have to eat, and finally die in a foreign country! Afraid that Han Xiufeng would not believe it, Ambassador Cang raised his arm and pointed in the direction of Chengdu Mansion: "If you don't believe me, you can go to Chengdu and take a look at the gate of the Taiwan Yamen." There are not 1,000 but 800 alternate officials waiting to fill the vacancy, and it's okay if the family has a little money, but the days when there is no money are really like being called Hanako. ”

"Ambassador Liu, I know that you are for my good, but I have to make up for this shortage, there is really no way." People put their hearts into their hearts, Han Xiufeng simply told him frankly, and slowly told the family affairs 1510, except for Pan Er, the creditor did not say anything, and everything else that should be said was said.

Ambassador Cang suddenly realized, and couldn't help sighing: "According to what you say, this deficiency really has to be filled, but it's a pity that you are looking for the wrong person from me." Let's put it this way, the officials in the ministry, including those officials, only recognize silver and don't know people! Don't talk about my letter, even if the Taoist is willing to help you write it, it's useless. ”

"In that case, I won't bother you." Han Xiufeng sighed helplessly, and then changed his words: "Ambassador Liu, can you do me a favor if there is something else?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Don't I have to go to the capital, when I get to the capital, I can't do without an official uniform, you are now the ambassador of the warehouse with the rank of Kachi County, and you are wearing a seven-grade top, which is much more majestic than before. Can you lend me the original official uniform to the capital to make a confession for the sake of me being considered a person? If you can fulfill it, then this kindness will be rewarded when I Han Si makes up for the lack and earns money as a Shangguan! ”

Ambassador Cang suddenly realized that he was ambushed here, and immediately pointed at Han Xiufeng and said with a smile: "Little Si'er, Xiao Si'er, you kid is a ghost!" Let me lend you the original official uniform to go to the capital to confess, how can you pay it back then? Not to mention whether you can make up for this shortcoming, I don't know how many days I can be an ambassador in the warehouse, where will you find me, and where can I find you? ”

"Ambassador Liu, you didn't know me on the first day, you should know that I, Han Si, am not that kind of person!"

"Anyone can say beautiful words, true or false, I won't believe a word, only silver is reliable these days. If you want my original official uniform, you can take the silver! ”

Pan Er thought to himself that he thought he was a good person just now, but as soon as he talked about business, he became like this, thinking that being an official is really faster than turning a book. Although Han Xiufeng said so, he didn't expect Ambassador Cang to really borrow it, so there was no disappointment or disappointment, and he asked Ambassador Cang to bid like no one.
