Chapter 53: High Hopes for You!
He saw the young man in front of him, his mind and manners were good, and he thought that he should be the son of the big family in the city, if so, he might as well open an opening and let him enter the county office, so that he could not only accept a usable person, but also make a big favor by the way. Who knew that his background was so unbearable, although he was a good person, but it didn't seem worth wasting a place for him as a clerk.
The Tang Dynasty, especially the Tang Dynasty, which is now thriving, is very strict in the administration of officials, Shangzhou, Xiazhou, Shangxian County, and Inferior County are clearly divided, how many officials in each county, and how many officials are customized, which is really a radish and a pit. This makes every place very precious, and it is also an important means for Master Yao to win connections and make money peacefully, so it is really a little reluctant to let him give Tang Que for nothing like this.
Master Yao's thoughts in his heart were only a moment's work, and his face did not show any hesitation, "You can enter the county school from the township, it is enough to prove that you are excellent, and now you have made another contribution, well, yes, good work, this master book has high hopes for you, ah!" ”。
After some thought, Master Yao still decided not to open this opening for the time being, but he didn't completely block the road. Let's explore the details of this Tang Cheng first, after all, he can squeeze into the county school from the township, and this young man should not have no background.
As soon as Master Yao's words came out, the faces of the other students changed, what does "high hopes" mean, not to mention that they are scholars, even Bai Ding can clearly hear it. The thirty people who can come here this time, except for Tang Que, can be said to have some background relationship in the family, naturally know that because seven people retired from old age a year ago, there are now seven vacancies in the county government, and three of the seven places are errand servants belonging to Zhao Laohu, which means that there are only four vacancies for the sword and pen officials, seeing that Tang Que has already occupied one first, how can they not be anxious and jealous, and the eyes that looked at Tang Que changed a little for a while.
After Master Yao inspected all the halls, he was accompanied by Yao Qingguo, and everyone immediately settled down to do things again, but for Tang Que, there was no longer the calm in front of him, and he could clearly feel that there were bundles of eyes with different meanings shooting at him around him.
Pretending not to know how to work hard, tonight is the same as yesterday, Yao Qingguo still waited for the sky to get dark before ordering the dismissal. Tang Que put together the case files that he was busy with, stretched a big waist and got up to leave, but saw that Wang Jiaxiang, a classmate who was waiting for him to return yesterday, intentionally or unintentionally avoided his eyes and went out alone.
"Zhang Xiangwen is really right, although Wang Jiaxiang is willing to work hard, but his strength is still too small", Tang Que smiled self-deprecatingly, and when he was about to leave, he heard Lao Liu's voice behind him: "Tang Cheng, wait."
Tang Que accompanied Lao Liu out of the county ya, although there is still a long time to go out of the curfew, but there are not many people on the street outside the county yamen, and from a distance, I can only see the lights of Huashen Street in the west, and there is a faint sound of pipes and tooth plates coming with the wind.
After holding back in the house for an afternoon, Tang Que took a deep breath of the slightly cool night breeze, his intuition was refreshing, and his drowsy head was much clearer. ”。
"What Uncle Liu said is", Tang Que also smiled when he heard this, "Don't hide it from Uncle Liu, in the afternoon of the past two days, I feel like I can't sit still as if there are ants crawling on the stool."
"Sitting is purely grinded out by time, you, there is no shadow yet", after Lao Liu smiled, he looked at Tang Que carefully, "Yes, the big fat grandson in the family is still waiting for me, it's useless not to tell you this, calling you today is mainly to remind you of one thing."
Tang Que thought that there was something wrong with his work, but when he looked at Lao Liu's face again, he didn't feel like it, "Uncle Liu, please speak."
"You have personally experienced this afternoon's events, I suggest that you visit Master Yao's Mansion in the past two days", Lao Liu patted Tang Que on the shoulder as he spoke, "I am also an old man in the county government, I can see that Master Yao is quite satisfied with you, if you walk around again, you may not be able to get rid of your identity as a student in a few days, the title of the gold list!" It's nice to hear, but it's really hard to walk."
Tang Que is also a traverser, what else does Lao Liu not understand in his words? Seeing another opportunity in front of him, he always felt a little unsettled in his heart.
Seeing him like this, Lao Liu didn't care, after all, this is a major event related to his life, "Although the officials are not officials, as long as you don't make big mistakes, no one can let you go casually, but it is more comfortable than the officials who are transferred around as soon as the term of office is up." The salary is enough for you to live a peaceful life, and it is convenient to do whatever you want, and it is decent to go out. Hehe, if you think about it, hurry up, don't miss the opportunity, not everyone can come in this county office. Okay, I'm done, I should go home to see my grandson too", patted Tang Que on the shoulder again, and Lao Liu turned into the alley on the right with a smile.
Tang Que returned to his residence, and Sister Lan, who was busy in the small stove room in the inner courtyard, saw him come in, and said excitedly through the window: "I went to the street with the Gao family this afternoon, and I happened to meet Zhang Ji Rice Shop selling Wuxing rice, Tang Cheng, you don't know, this kind of rice is crystal white, with the name of crystal, the 'Qingfeng Rice' made from it is fragrant, you can eat more later."
"Ah, I know", Tang Que was thinking about it, and the promise in his mouth was flickering, and he went directly to the study and sat down without entering the stove room.
Since inquiring about Lao Liu's words, Tang Que has been thinking about this matter all the way, according to his current situation, it is false to say that he has such an opportunity to enter the county government. As for the benefits that Lao Liu said, he didn't doubt it at all, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people desperately trying to squeeze into the county government. Speaking of which, he is going to enter the county government, just like being a civil servant in later generations, to a certain extent, there were fewer officials in the Tang Dynasty, and there were fewer ways out for scholars.
Once you enter the county office, not only do you have a way out, but your family's situation can also change dramatically. And if it is operated well, Lin Xuezheng is not unavoidably accommodating, and he may be able to do errands in the yamen, and seize the opportunity of the imperial examination that may exist, so that it is really a double win.
But when he really wanted to do this, he faced two real difficulties, one was money, even though he didn't know how much the market for doing this in Yunxi County was, but he would definitely not be less, and he was afraid that it would not work; The problem of money is easy to say, after all, there is still a poisonous widow to borrow, but his greater mind is on Zhang Countyling, after all, he can come to the county to learn to borrow the power of Zhang County, as far as the current relationship between Yao's master book and Zhang County's order is concerned, not to mention that he feels a little sorry for Zhang County's order when he votes to Yao's master book like this, what if Yao Zhushu knows his past in the future? What will happen to Zhang Xianling when he finds out about this?

PS: I saw that there were book friends in the book review area who talked about the problem of brush characters and traditional characters, and explained a few sentences to the book friends. First, the brush characters mentioned in this book specifically refer to the fly-headed hairpin flower card commonly used in the Tang Dynasty, this kind of character is not a large character of calligraphy, that is, a large piece of paper only writes a few words, but not much larger than our daily pen words, not only to be able to write, but also to write neatly, hehe, can write brush words nothing, but to say that the current Chinese students can write such a beautiful hairpin flower, it is indeed beyond my own understanding of the level of Chinese students.
Second, traditional Chinese characters. Today's Chinese students can recognize some of them, but the question is whether they can recognize them all and write them all? For example, the traditional Chinese character of "Yan" can be written with a pen, right? Oh, it's easier said than done, and so is the world!
