18. Nishikawa has good news

Gao Yue held the wooden letter containing the confession, and according to the instructions of Ling Huxiang and Dong Jin, he slowly walked out of the South Cao Xuan Courtyard of the Ministry of Officials, and then walked along the side street past Zuo Weiwei Mansion (he had asked Pan Yan for a petition in this abandoned garden), Zuo Junjun Mansion, and came to the southeast corner of the street in the capital hall of Shangshu Province, where there was a cross-cutting neck bridge.

Gao Yue bowed down to the palace at the head of the bridge, and then turned to the East Daming Palace to bow down to show his gratitude to the Holy Lord.

"I Tang Jixian Yuan, there are three places in Xijing, said Daming Palace Jixian Yuan, Xingqing Palace Jixian Yuan and Huaqing Palace Jixian Yuan, Gao Yue you work for the Daming Palace Jixian Yuan, which is located in the west of the entrance of Guangshun Gate Street, the south is adjacent to the women's hospital, the north is connected to the palace wall, the east street is the courtyard to be systematized, and the west is the prison wood field, be sure to remember clearly where the provincial office is located, and there must be no difference." Before, Dong Jin explained this to him, and then Nan Cao Tang official held a bamboo flute with several pieces of clothing stored inside, "This is the time dress given to you by the emperor." ”

Gao Yue also went next, and there was a section of dark blue cloth in this bamboo flute, and there was also a white one, which was used to make undershirts and pants, and a pair of boots, a white pen (used to insert it in a bun), a hat, and a wooden wat board (which could only be used by Jiupin officials).

In fact, for the officials of the Tang Dynasty, especially those who were born in Han Su or have a low rank, the cost of official clothing is indeed a very heavy burden, because Chang'an is not only expensive rice, but also expensive, according to the provisions of the "Tang Liudian", an official needs eight silk cloths to get together the four seasons, and Chang'an during the Tianbao period, even if the silk cloth is slightly inferior, it will cost 480 Wen, even if it is said that the clothing money alone will cost 3,640 Wen, plus cotton, boots, and heads, how can you have five dollars to complete a set of clothes, During the Tianbao period, the money of the Nine Rank Officials was only 1,917 yuan a month, so it took several months to cope with it.

Fortunately, now Gao Yue knows that although Prime Minister Yang Juan is dead, but his policy of increasing the salary of Beijing officials has been realized this year, and the emperor issued an edict in May last year to increase the money of officials in Beijing.

In the twelfth year of the Great Calendar, Emperor Zong's content of the gift was very clear - the monthly salary of Zhu Jiao (the school book Lang is equivalent to the orthography) is six guan money, that is, six thousand Wen (1). If you don't eat or drink for a month, it's just enough to raise money, but in fact, the burden is not much lighter than that of Tianbao.

Therefore, at that time, the hundred officials relied more on the emperor's gifts in official uniforms, and this was not as high as Yue had just started, and the emperor sent a few pieces of fabric, which was regarded as a spring dress.

Then this cyan cloth is used to make official uniforms, after all, now I am the Zhengzi of Jixian Academy, and the lowest rank of loose officials is from the ninth rank of the general, and the rank of the official is from the ninth grade, and I can only wear clothes of this color.

Alas, but the emperor only gave the clothes, and immediately asked Sister Shuangwen to cut and sew it into a fitting shirt, and soon my days of working as a civil servant in the Tang Dynasty will begin.

The institutional arrangements of the imperial court are still very flexible, and Ling Huxiang told him that when the banquet in Qujiang Xingyuan ends on the first ten days, you will officially come to Jixian Yuan to "see things" (that is, go to work).

In fact, the implicit meaning is probably that Jixian orthography is really a lot of idle positions!

The institutional life of the Tang Dynasty will be experienced again immediately. At this moment, Gao Yue, who had passed all the way, seized the head and entered the judgment evenly, etc., awarded Jixian Zhengzi Gao Yue was still very, very happy, and after walking out of the door, he looked at the dusk sky full of rouge, and felt beautiful:

Although he is still a straight character who has just started his career, he has all the food, clothing, and food, and the Long March can be said to have made a good start.

But all this, I really have to thank Yun Shao's little lady, Xue Lianshi and Wu Lianshi! Especially the servant shooting little lady, who took a full 300 points up and down, and only 6 times for him to find a position for a month, what else can I say about this love?

Thinking of this, Gao Yue carried the bamboo flute and the wooden letter on his back, and walked straight towards the Xingtang Temple of Daning Temple with brisk and happy steps.

As a result, Gao Yue was walking under the wall, and a cart followed him, about twenty paces apart.

The curtain of the car was opened, it was Yun Shao with smart eyes, she had been waiting for Gao Yue's news in the carriage outside the imperial city, and she was afraid that Gao Yue would be in a bad mood in the election of officials, so after he walked out, Yun Shao didn't dare to make a noise - when he followed him, he saw the black wood letter on Gao Yue's back and the bamboo stick that revealed the corners of the cyan silk cloth, and he was happy: "The letter is to tell the body, and the letter is to serve the life, and San Lang is really and really sentenced to enter the wait, and he was awarded an official position by the advanced Shi Dengke." ”

But at this moment, Yun Shao still didn't act rashly, until Gao Yue turned around in the dust of the street in front of him, walked into the gate of Daning Fang, and went straight to the inside of Xingtang Temple, Yun Shao breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on the mat of the car, and his eyebrows were full of spring: "It turns out that he really hasn't forgotten that the first thing he thought about after winning the official position was to pick up the most beautiful peony in Chang'an for me." ”

"Bachelor, it's you again!" Under the temple corridor, the little novice who had grown taller last year shouted happily when he saw Gao Yue standing under the peony tree.

Then the little novice continued to bring the iron scissors very refreshingly, and was about to cut peonies for Gao Yue, but was stopped by Gao Yue with a smile, and then Gao Yue took the iron scissors, shook his head, and signaled not to cut too many peony flowers.

Little Shami scratched his head and laughed.

Gao Yue gently picked the most plain white one and brought it down.

"The bachelor has a good eye, this pure white flower can be said to be the true national color."

Gao Yue looked at the little novice, and also felt that the white peony he picked was too precious, and the flowers that were sold in Chang'an on weekdays would cost at least a thousand yuan for the color of this one, so he thought about it and took out some money to give it to this little novice.

The little novice grinned and said, "If you like it, just take it, this spring color comes and goes, the flowers bloom thank you, what money do you want?" After saying that, he clasped his palms and retreated.

Gao Yue looked at the peony in his hand, and thought about the words of this little novice, and immediately felt that it was very Zen, and he was just about to thank him - a big monk came out of the east corridor of Xingtang Temple, and immediately gave the little novice a chestnut, and even shouted that the peony full of trees was bought by the dignitaries and nobles of the Zhumen Jiadi for a lot of money, and you actually cut it off and gave it to others for nothing?

"Bachelor's leaving!" The little novice stuck out his tongue and turned back to Gao Yue and shouted loudly.

Gao Yue sounded, turned around and ran.

As a result, outside the temple gate, he almost collided with Yun Shao, who was standing there.

Bursts of smoke and dust flew under Gao Yue's boots, and he was in a hurry before he finally stopped, and then looked at the white peony in his hand, shouting that it was a pity - it was a corner that was yellowed by dust.

"Yun Shao ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Yun Shao laughed, snatched the white peony from Gao Yue's hand, gently pinned it to his cloud-like bun, and then turned around with a puffy face:

"Gao Langjun, my father and mother from Xichuan Fang Town sent a letter and agreed, agreeing to my marriage with you, you can, you can reply to the color line letter......

The little lady was shy and couldn't finish speaking, and her bun was about to smoke again, so she covered her hot cheeks and boarded the car and prepared to run!
