"Is there anyone, open the door, Xiao Shandong, shopkeeper Wen, we're back!"

When he saw the hall, the big head seemed to see home, and he jumped out of the car and rushed over to call the door. Returning to the guild hall that he renovated single-handedly, Han Xiufeng was also full of emotion, got out of the carriage and said with a smile: "Light, what are you doing, you will pay for smashing the door?" ”

"Fourth brother, I'm afraid they won't hear it."

As soon as the big head turned around, there was a shout from Xiao Shandong: "Come on, come on, big brother, I'll open the door!" Master Ji, Master Ao, and Master Han are back! ”

The heavy door creaked open from the inside, and when I saw Xiao Shandong, who had not only grown taller but also stronger than before, the big head was so excited that he forked up Xiao Shandong as he had done when he was fighting in the guild hall, and forked it high: "Why did your turtle son guard the door, why did you open the door now?" ”

"Big brother, I was cooking tea inside, I didn't hear it." Xiao Shandong struggled and shouted at Han Xiufeng: "Fourth master, you can count yourself back." The magpies were chirping early this morning, and I was still thinking about what other happy events could there be besides your return, but I didn't expect you to come back! ”

"Really?" Han Xiufeng smiled, jumped out of the carriage and was about to let the big head put Xiao Shandong down, when a familiar face suddenly appeared in front of him, looking at him with a smile.

"Master Ao is auspicious, Xiufeng is late to come back, I can only give you a good old age!"

"Don't, don't, I don't dare to accept this gift." Ao Tongchen stepped over the threshold and held him up, looking up and down while teasing: "Zhixing, don't hurt me!" You are already the same master of the five products, I Ao Tongchen is only from the seventh grade, how can there be a reason in the world to give the five grades to the seven grades, if the imperial historian knows, they will definitely participate in a book. ”

"Master Ao, can my fifth grade be compared with your seventh grade? Besides, there are no outsiders here, how can the Imperial Historian know? ”

As soon as Han Xiufeng's words fell, Huang Zhongyin and Ji Yunfei walked around the Zhaobi to the door, looked at him with a smile and said, "This is no outsider, but there is a royal history here!" ”

"Master Huang, Master Ji......"

"Stop!" Without waiting for Han Xiufeng to finish speaking, Ji Yunfei's face turned straight: "Zhixing, Jin Pu is not joking with you!" The ancients said: If you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand. If you shout like you, how can you distinguish between the noble and the low, know the relatives, don't be father and son, know the distance and the near, and know the upper and lower? What's more, since you and I are officials, we have to abide by the etiquette of the court, and from now on, we will meet each other in front of outsiders according to their grades and official positions, and we are commensurate with brothers without outsiders. ”

Han Xiufeng said with a bitter face: "Master Ji, how can this be!" Not to mention that you are all noble Hanlin masters, even if it is not me, it is neither big nor small. ”

"It's not big or small to shout like you." Huang Zhongyin glanced at Su Jueming and Ren Yu'er with curiosity, and stepped forward and asked, "Zhixing, you just entered the hall directly and went back to the hall directly?" ”

"Yes," Han Xiufeng thought that Huang Zhongyin blamed him for not sending someone to send a letter to the hall first, and hurriedly said: "Master Huang, I'm not afraid of your jokes, when I think of being able to go back to the hall and give you a few of you a good old age in the first month, I am like an arrow, and this way is in a hurry." ”

Huang Zhongyin asked: "Didn't you go to Jingyunmen to ask for an fold?" ”

"I didn't go," the more Han Xiufeng thought about it, the more confused he became, and said with a bitter face: "Master Huang, I returned to Beijing on the order of the Ministry of Officials, and I didn't return to Beijing on the order." Besides, I'm just a five-grade acquaintance, or I have just been investigated, how can I be qualified to ask for an audience with Anzhi? ”

"You've just been handed over to the ministry for a short time, but is that considered a council? Demoted one level and transferred to Yong'an River Yamen, this is clearly a discussion! Huang Zhongyin glared at him hatefully, and then said, "If the emperor doesn't give an order, won't you hand over the request?" What's more, where did you get your previous top belt from the five products and the two Huaiyun vices? ”

Han Xiufeng scratched his neck and said, "I'...... I, Master Guo, seems to have helped me with the thanksgiving fold. ”

Huang Zhongyin looked at him like an idiot and said, "If you have been on the thank you fold, you don't need to thank him anymore?" Anyway, you are such a shrewd person, why don't you understand the truth that many people are not to blame? ”

"Master Huang, I know that you are for my good, but please fold the same fold, I can't write!" Han Xiufeng thought about it, and said with a sad face: "Even if I can write, even if I send the excerpt to Jingyunmen, there is a good chance that the official of the General Administration Department will not help to submit it." ”

"I won't write it, we will write it for you, as for whether the secretary of the General Administration Department will help you submit it to the top, it is their business, even if they don't submit it, they have to register it in the register, and hand over your excerpts to the internal affairs office."

As soon as Huang Zhongyin finished speaking, Ji Yunfei took out a copy of the recital from his sleeve: "Take a closer look, if you don't miss anything, hurry up." ”

Han Xiufeng didn't expect that several fellow villagers would not only be good for him, but also help him write it well, and hurriedly took the fold: "Master Xie Huang, Master Xie Ji, I'll go to Jingyunmen." ”

"Wait." Ji Yunfei glanced back at Xiao Shandong, who was standing beside the big head and didn't dare to interject, and reminded with a smile: "After handing over the excerpt, don't forget to look at the Que and bow down, and after you are done, go directly to the official document of the Ministry of Officials to return to Beijing immediately and the Ministry of War, don't rush back after completing these two things." ”

"Where are you going if you don't come back?"

"Go and meet Master Peng!" Ji Yunfei realized that he had forgotten the rules of the capital after being a foreign official for a long time, and patiently explained: "Zhixing, your errand is really not easy to come by. Because he was able to go to Yongding River Yamen on an errand over the years, it was almost the same as the Hanlin official being able to enter the Zhan Mansion, and it became the capital for the transfer of civil and military officials. Almost without exception, all the previous Taoists have been promoted to be envoys, and some have even become feudal officials, and the same knowledge is either granted to the prefect, or moved to the same knowledge of the heavenly mansion, so I don't know how many people are red! ”

As long as the Tongzhi of Yongding Henan and the North Bank does not make mistakes in office, he can be promoted to the prefect or the Tongzhi of Shuntianfu, Han Xiufeng heard it for the first time, and he was immediately surprised. Because Shuntianfu is not an ordinary state capital, and Shuntianfu Tongzhi is not a shaking head like Xu Ying.

Shuntianfu has four Tongzhi, divided into the West Road Hall, East Road Hall, South Road Hall and North Road Hall, stationed in Lugouqiao Gongji City, Zhangjiawan, Huangcun and Gonghua City, Shahe Town, and has jurisdiction over Zhuozhou, Daxing, Wanping, Liangxiang, Fangshan, Tongzhou, Jizhou, Sanhe, Wuqing, Baodi, Ninghe, Xianghe, Bazhou, Baoding, Wen'an, Dacheng, Gu'an, Yongqing, Dong'an and Changping Prefecture, Shunyi, Huairou, Miyun, Pinggu and other prefectures and counties, which are equivalent to four "small prefects", and they are prefects under the emperor's nose!

Thinking of this, Han Xiufeng couldn't help but laugh and said, "So I picked up a big bargain?" ”

"So I want to be grateful, I want to go up and ask for peace, and I want to go and pay homage to Lord Xie Peng. Let Master Peng know that you have returned to Beijing. Although there is a chance that Master Peng will not be at home, you still have to go regardless of whether he is at home or not, and hand over your name card and resume first. If Master Peng wants to summon you, sooner or later he will send someone to the guild hall to spread the word. ”

"Speaking of Master Peng, before I came back, Xu Futai asked me to bring a letter to Lord Peng."

"It's better to have a letter, hurry up, you don't recognize Master Peng's family, Xiao Shandong does, he will accompany you."

Xiao Shandong relieved himself, hurriedly walked to the side of the car and said, "Fourth master, it's important to do business, and the little one will accompany you." ”

"Shall I go first, then?"

"Hurry up, don't bother."

……

The three fellow villagers asked them to do all the big things, Han Xiufeng didn't dare to delay for a moment, and he didn't even bother to introduce them to Su Jueming, Ren Yu'er and Cuihua, so he took Ji Yunfei's help to ask for an order, and took a car with Xiao Shandong to Jingyunmen.

As soon as he left, Ren Yu'er suddenly panicked.

Master Hanlin is usually rare to see, but today he saw three of them at once, and one of them has already been made to supervise the imperial history! In addition, she is a woman, so it stands to reason that she shouldn't show her head easily, and she didn't know what to do for a while, so she stood at the door with her head hanging by Cuihua's arm.

Han Si's affairs in Taizhou and even Shanghai, Xiao Wuzi reported to Huang Zhongyin and Ji Yunfei in detail when he came back last time, and the two not only knew that one was Han Si's righteous sister, and the other was Han Si's daughter-in-law who helped the boss marry, but also knew that Ren Yu'er was keeping filial piety, and knew that her father Ren Yaen had been martyred.

Thinking that it was inappropriate to let the two women freeze outside, Huang Zhongyin coughed dryly, turned around and said, "Big head, your fourth brother has already left, what do you see, don't invite the two girls in." ”

The big head relieved himself, grinned and said: "Master Huang, Master Ji, Master Ao, this is Cuihua, this is Miss Ren, my fourth brother recognizes my godsister!" This is Su Jueming, my fourth brother's long-term follower in Yangzhou. ”

"The little one meets the three masters." Su Jueming didn't dare to be big or small in front of Master Hanlin, and he didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not, so he knelt down to say goodbye.

"Get up, get up, get up, and speak."

Ren Yu'er also reacted, hurriedly pulled out the arm holding Cuihua, and timidly said a blessing. Seeing that the big head squeezed her eyebrows, Cuihua's face turned red, and she also learned from Ren Yu'er to say goodbye to the three Hanlin masters.

There is a difference between men and women, and the clan has invited female relatives during group worship.

Huang Zhongyin didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he simply gave back a salute and asked the shopkeeper Wen, who had been wanting to speak but couldn't speak, to take them in for tea. Ji Yunfei called the second son of the shopkeeper Wen aside and asked the second son of the shopkeeper Wen to quickly hire a car to go to his house and help him invite the insiders to accompany him.

Master Han came back, and naturally had to set up a banquet in the evening, and Shopkeeper Wen put Ren Yu'er and Cuihua in a champion room in the backyard and got busy.

Huang Zhongyin and Ji Yunfei sat in the main hall while drinking tea, while listening with great interest to the big head to tell what they had seen and heard in Beijing for more than a year.

The big eyebrows fluttered and gushed, but as he spoke, he talked about the green flowers.

"Master Huang, my fourth brother originally planned to let me and Cuihua worship heaven and earth in Shanghai, but Master Xue, Master Liu and Tiger Xiaohu want to fight, fight every day, day and night, and have no time to go to the concession to eat my happy wine! I've never had a happy event in my life, so how can I not invite them for such a big event, so this heaven and earth have not been worshipped! ”

"Then did your fourth brother say when he will help you do it?" Huang Zhongyin asked with a forced smile.

"My fourth brother said that he would come to the capital to help me handle it. He also said that after worshipping heaven and earth, I can't help but worship my elders, but my father and mother died early, and the eighth master is in his hometown in Ba County, I want to ask you to be my elders, and let me and Cuihua kowtow to you when the time comes! ”

Ji Yunfei put down the teacup and said, "Okay, since your fourth brother has said so, then we will be your elders for a while." ”

Although the big head has a bad brain, he also knows that it is a very beautiful thing to invite a few Hanlin masters to be elders, and he can even show off his life, so he said happily: "Master Xie Ji, Master Xie Huang, Master Xie Ao, I have to hurry up and tell Cuihua, such a big happy event can't be hidden from her." ”

As soon as he said go, he left the three Hanlin masters and ran to the backyard, Su Jueming, who was standing on the side, was suddenly frightened, and was thinking about whether to help him plead guilty with the three Hanlin masters, but the three Hanlin masters actually laughed.
