Huang Zhongyin and Ji Yunfei knew that Han Xiufeng hadn't slept all night, so they chatted for a while and urged him to go in and sleep for a while. When I woke up, it was already the middle of the day, and when I washed my face and came out, I saw that the main hall was full of people, and the courtyard was even more colorful.

Ao Xixian, Jiang Haoxuan, Liu Zhirong and other fellow villagers who didn't see each other in the afternoon all came, and Director Zhang of the Provincial Pavilion also came, and they were sitting around Huang Zhongyin, Ji Yunfei and Ao Tongchen talking. Fugui went and returned, but he didn't dare to go to Master Yushi and Master Hanlin, but sat in the West Flower Hall with Wang Guisheng, Zhou Changchun, Zhuzi, Yu Tiesuo and Guan Xiaohu and other juniors.

Shopkeeper Wen, Xiao Shandong, and the old carpenter were helping Zhang Luo to feast, and Han Xiufeng greeted everyone, only to notice that a scholar in his thirties was sitting on the side.

As expected, he was none other than Huang Zhongyin's student Jiang Zhengxin. After Huang Zhongyin finished the introduction, he asked not to rush to the table, but asked Han Xiufeng to talk to his students first.

Everyone is here, what else can Han Xiufeng say, he can only apologize to Ao Xixian, Jiang Haoxuan and others, take Jiang Zhengxin into the inner courtyard like in the afternoon, find a clean champion room, sit down and look at Jiang Zhengxin's resume, and then talk to Jiang Zhengxin.

At the same time, Cui Hao, who had been waiting at Peng's house for an afternoon, finally waited for Peng Yunzhang, who had just returned from the military aircraft, and respectfully reported the afternoon's events, looking at Peng Yunzhang with anticipation and some apprehension at the same time.

Peng Yunzhang didn't expect Han Si, who was holding chicken feathers as an arrow, to move so quickly, and he didn't expect Han Si to plan to protect Cui Hao. If you agree with Cui Hao to be the Marquis of Minhou in Fujian and become a county magistrate, it is not only equivalent to inheriting this favor, but also the surname Han can't sit idly by if something happens in the future. If you don't agree with Cui Hao to be the county leader, it will be blocking the future of others, although Cui Hao won't say anything, he will definitely have ideas in his heart.

A donor-born Zhengwupin Tongzhi actually became a clean official of the General Administration Division, not only insulting Sven, but also I don't know how many people have blocked the way to promotion, Han Zhan Kedao and the ministries have already fried the pot, Peng Yunzhang didn't want to be scolded by Han Si because of Han Zhan Kedao's Qingliu and those principals of the Sixth Department, so as soon as he heard that Han Si was a senator of the General Political Division, he secretly decided not to have anything to do with Han Si in the future, and even deliberately explained to his family that he would never see Han Si again in the future.

As a result, Han Si actually made a fuss, which made Peng Yunzhang in a dilemma, as uncomfortable as suddenly eating a fly.

Cui Hao didn't know why, and said cautiously: "My lord, Master Han said that this matter is very urgent, let the student reply early in the morning." ”

Peng Yunzhang relieved himself and asked quietly: "Dezhong, what do you think, do you want to go to Fujian to be this county?" ”

"Adults, students...... Students want to go, after all, the opportunity is rare. ”

"So you're here to say goodbye to me?"

"What are you talking about, students want to go, but Fujian is so far away, students are always a little unsure, so hurry over to report to adults, and want to implore adults to help students get an idea."

Peng Yunzhang didn't want to be hated by those civil and military officials in Huguang and even Huguang Shilin like Qi Liaozao, and he also didn't want to be misunderstood by his fellow villagers, especially his old ones, so he weighed it and looked at him with a smile and said: "Dezhong, this opportunity is really rare, since you want to go, go ahead, I will help you write a letter to Wang Yide, the governor of Fujian, and remember to visit Lord Xia Wang after you arrive in the province." ”

"Thank you, Lord for help!"

……

Han Xiufeng planned to protect Cui Hao, but he didn't want to use this to tie up Peng Yunzhang, but he just wanted to take this opportunity to repay his favor. And although Cui Hao ran away in Heying, but there was a reason for it, in fact, Cui Hao was shrewd and capable, if he was stupid in reading, he would not be able to donate to the official position as a showman, let alone go all the way from Suzhou to the capital to join Peng Yunzhang.

As for the Jiang Zhengxin recommended by Huang Zhongyin, he is not only full of wealth, but also not pedantic, he is neither humble nor arrogant when he chats, and he should be able to do the next errand.

Early the next morning, with the charter drafted at night and the map and the proposed fold drawn at the Yamen of the General Administration Department the night before, I took the carriage hired by Xiaoshan Shandong to the gate of the palace to hand over the sign.

It turns out that being generous is not the same as not being generous.

Liu Gonggong of the concert office heard the news and said that the emperor was not available in the morning, saying that the emperor planned to go to Yong'an Temple in the afternoon to offer incense, and asked him to go to Xiyuan in the afternoon to hand over the sign and ask to see. Since you can't meet in the morning, you can go back to the Dengwen Drum Hall first, if you don't have an acquaintance, you can only wait at the palace gate, and you don't know when you will wait.

Back at the Dengwen Drum Hall, just after sitting down in the lobby and taking a few sips of tea, Ji Yunfei arrived with his student Yun Qijun, and Su Jueming also followed.

Confirming that he will be able to be a Shangguan soon, he doesn't have to wait for three times to be able to participate in the big pick, and he doesn't know if he can be picked up yet, Yun Qijun was so excited that he burst into tears. Su Jueming looked forward to the stars and the moon and finally looked forward to this day, just as ecstatic.

"Fourth master, do you want to do something over there, what do the students have to prepare?" Yun Qijun asked eagerly.

His fellow villagers can help promote his students, Ji Yunfei is happier than his own promotion, and he can't help but smile: "Zhixing, what do you need to prepare for Ergan, even if you open your mouth, you are not an outsider." ”

"Brother Bowen, Ergan is not the same as Jiang Zheng's salary, Ergan is not only from a high background, but also helps to cross the river camp and does his best before the battle, as long as he prepares his resume, as long as he prepares a hundred and ten taels of silver."

"What about the test language, do you want to ask Wu Tingdong to issue the test language?" Ji Yunfei asked.

"No, first, there is too much time, and secondly, I won't be introduced on behalf of others, so I mainly submit the roster of the Baoju and the resumes of the civil and military officials cited."

"It's that simple?" Ji Yunfei asked in surprise.

"Special case." Han Xiufeng smiled and turned around: "Jueming, you hurry up to find Director Zhang, and ask Director Zhang to take you to the household department to donate the background of a prisoner, and then donate the treasurer of the Internal Affairs Office." Then go to the Jiangsu Provincial Pavilion with Director Zhang to ask your fellow villagers to seal the knot and have a guarantee, and then go to Fugui after doing it, and ask Fugui to take you to the Internal Affairs Office. ”

"Fourth master, what are you going to do in the Internal Affairs Office, shouldn't you go to the Ministry of Officials?" Su Jueming asked puzzled.

"You are going to Shanghai this time to be a deputy member of the Jiangxi Customs, and the assistant member is a customs officer, that is, the often said errand committee, not an official position, so you have to donate to the official of the Internal Affairs Office." Han Xiufeng paused, and then explained: "Besides, you are from Jiangsu, if you donate a local official position, then you can't be an official in this province, and you won't be able to go to Shanghai." ”

"I understand, as long as it's an official, the little one will go to Director Zhang."

"Is there enough money?"

"Enough," Su Jueming realized that he was too excited to say something, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Fourth master, even if it's not enough, I will find a way, I can't let you help so much and have to give me another piece of silver." ”

"Enough is enough, let's go."

Sending Su Jueming away, Han Xiufeng and Yu Youfu, who came with him, asked about the family.

Yu Youfu said with a smile: "The second master and Qin'er plan to leave tomorrow morning, the luggage and those books are all packed, and the car is also hired, mainly because they can't let go of those acres of land and those babies in the village." The second master made the decision to sublease the land to those alternate officers, and planned to let those alternate officers take over his old man's tutor to the children in the village. ”

"Are the alternates willing?"

"Yes, they can't ask for it."

"It's good if you're willing," Han Xiufeng thought for a while and asked, "What about the big head and the cuihua?" ”

"Su Jueming has entered Beijing, the eldest head can't stay there alone, before coming Fei Erye said that he would accompany him to the Provincial Department this morning to see if he could help him take a few days off with Lord Wu, anyway, there is no one in the camp and nothing to do, if you can take a leave, you will take the two of them back to Beijing together."

"This fake Wu Tingdong should be accurate."

"That's what the second master said."

With Second Master Fei here, don't worry about things at home.

Han Xiufeng was about to let Yu Youfu go back to the hall to rest first, but Yu Youfu actually looked at Ji Yunfei, and then at Yun Qijun, who was sitting on the side, and said sourly: "Fourth master, I understand, reading is not useless, but really useful!" If my iron lock is as literate as Guisheng, Changchun and Su Jueming, then this time I can get a civil official to do it! ”

Han Xiufeng didn't expect him to say this, so he couldn't help but smile and asked, "Envious?" ”

Yu Youfu smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm really envious." ”

Ji Yunfei was happy, pointed at him and said with a smile: "Lao Yu, your iron lock is already very promising, and he became the general manager of the patrol camp at a young age, with more than a dozen people under his command, and he is in charge of two streets!" If he is in Ba County, he can only go to the yamen to help out like you, and do white labor like you, and now he has become an official, are you still not satisfied? ”

"Master Ji, I'm not dissatisfied, I'm envious of them when I look at them."

"It's useless to be envious, and reading and literacy is not something that happens overnight. Say this, you have to learn from the big head, although you don't have any hope in this life, don't you still have a baby, hurry up and help your family iron lock say a daughter-in-law, hurry up and give birth to a few babies, and let your grandson go to school when the time comes......"

Yu Youfu thought so, because this time the boys who had the best relationship with the four children and had the deepest friendship really suffered a big loss, if they were literate and literate, the opportunity to go to Guangdong to be an official would not be Wang Guisheng and Zhou Changchun.

Just when he was full of emotion, Cui Hao arrived with a smile on his face, and bowed down to greet him as soon as he came in.

Han Xiufeng confirmed that he was willing to go to Fujian to be a county minister, and was about to ask him if he had gone to meet Master Peng, when a familiar posterior walked in and bowed down and said: "The little one meets Master Han, my master asked the little one to come over and ask Master Han if he is free, and if he is free, please invite Master Han to come over for tea." ”

Han Xiufeng suddenly remembered that he was the family member of Yan Zhengji, the deputy envoy of the General Administration Department, and he had seen him next door yesterday morning, and couldn't help but smile: "If you are free, Lord Yan summoned you, and if you are not available, you have to be free." ”
