Secretary of the Ministry, Writings Bureau, School Scrivener, what official position?

Just when Han Rui was pondering, Zheng Naoyue gently stretched out his hand and pushed down, only then did he come back to his senses, but saw that the temple people had already finished reading, and hurriedly stepped forward to thank the emperor and receive the tooth card to prove his identity.

The eunuchs of this era, under the rule of Li Shimin, were still very peaceful and self-controlled, without the monstrous power of the Tang Dynasty, after completing the task, they refused Han Rui's gracious retention, and took some happy money half-pushed, and repeatedly reminded Han Rui that within three days, he would definitely go to the Ministry of Officials to listen to the training and preparation book, and then he went happily and returned to the palace to resume his life, and did not dare to stay.

Waving goodbye, holding the tooth card, Han Rui had an unreal feeling, he was going to be an official, in fact, he had this kind of speculation in his heart before, but he didn't think about it so suddenly, without the slightest preparation, the taste was really special, a little excited and joyful, a little confused, vaguely worried and afraid.

"Congratulations to the husband, I will be a dignified court official in the future." Zheng Naoyo smiled: "The secretary is the provincial Han school book." ”

Only then did the servants react, and they all stepped forward to congratulate, and said, "Congratulations to Langjun." ”

There had been such speculations before, so Han Rui also slowly restrained, returned to his usual state of mind, smiled at the corner of his mouth, sent the servants to disperse, pulled Zheng Nao to walk towards the hall, and whispered: "How many officials is the school secretary?" ”

"On the ninth grade." Zheng Naoyue smiled softly.

Oh, Han Rui was a little disappointed, and muttered: "As the saying goes, the seventh-grade sesame official, what is the nine-grade sesame official." ”

"Husband, what did you say?" Zheng Naoyue didn't hear clearly.

Han Rui smiled silently, but he also knew that his complaint, in the eyes of others, was obviously a cheap and obedient performance, you must know that there are many lords and nobles in the capital, but the officials are relatively scarce, Li Shimin implements the policy of merging elite officials and provinces, thinking that officials are winning people, not many people, so there are only six or seven hundred people in the three provinces of the capital, the temple supervisor and the director, and the civil and military officials.

Han Rui can become one of them, I don't know how many are envious and jealous, in the Tang Dynasty, whether it is the imperial examination, the door shade, or the person who passed the exile, he just obtained the qualification to serve as an official, and he really took up the actual official position, and he still needed to go through the selection, but Han Rui was from a white ding, without going through any exams, directly skipped the third level, and became the school secretary of the Zhengjiupin, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the Fish Leaping Dragon Gate.

Moreover, the secretary of the province is called to supervise the affairs of scriptures and books, but he helps the emperor write articles and decrees part-time, and he can also be called a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he is in frequent contact with the emperor, and the chance of promotion is definitely greater than that of other officials, and no matter how low the official position is, it should not be underestimated.

Think about it, people have studied hard for many years, even if they are admitted to the Jinshi Zhuangtou, before they pass the selection of the officials, they do not have this honor, compared with Han Rui's starting line, which is obviously much higher, what is there to be disappointed about.

Let go of his mood and walk into the living room, Han Rui thought about how to celebrate, call friends, hold a banquet, maybe uphold a low-key style, hide it and not report it, and give them a fright, just when Han Rui hesitated, he suddenly saw Han Hui and Qian Xu, and his joy suddenly disappeared, and his handsome face gradually became bitter.

Zheng Nao didn't notice it, and asked about the celebration with great interest, Han Rui thought about it, and said softly: "You'er, you are ready, send a message to your parents-in-law, by the way, there is also the third brother, just hold a family banquet, and I won't publicize it to the public." ”

"That's right, it's still the husband who is thoughtful." Zheng Nao nodded with a smile, after becoming an official, his identity is different, so he naturally needs to pay attention to the inspection and celebrate, but it gives people the feeling that the villain is ambitious, and the impact is not good.

After she left, Han Rui hesitated and said cautiously: "Uncle, Uncle Hao, I seem to be ...... I can't go. ”

Qian Xu and Han Hui looked at each other, the former smiled, the latter sighed softly, and said helplessly: "I expected this to be the case, I wanted to leave as soon as possible, but I didn't think it was too late." ”

"This is also a matter of no choice, can you let Twenty-one Lang resist and disobey the order." Qian Xu smiled, but there was not much frustration.

"That's a good idea." Han Hui said.

Han Rui also smiled and said: "It's not that serious, it's just a refusal to be drafted, it's not a protest." ”

"Twenty-one Lang, what do you mean by that?" Qian Xu was surprised.

"It's just a little Zhengjipin's school scrivener, I haven't paid attention to it yet." Han Rui said proudly: "If you don't do it, you won't do it, what's there to regret, I look down on people too much, at least give a secretary to be worthy of my reputation and ability." ”

With a pretentious face, the two of them laughed, Han Hui shook his head and said: "Lang Jun, just say these words in private, spread them, people will definitely accuse you of being ashamed and arrogant......"

"Twenty-one Lang, some words are easier said than done, and I am afraid that I am reluctant to give up a great future." Qian Xu said with a smile, this is definitely experience, after all, he was also a scholar, he had been in contact with many literati and celebrities in his early years, and he usually chatted, he must be advocating hermits, with noble ambitions, not for fame and fortune, but he really encountered things chasing fame and fortune, but he put everything away.

"Well, that's kind of that." Han Rui admitted: "However, if the two elders insist, how can I be disobedient, the Tang Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, presumably Your Majesty knows about this and will not blame it." ”

Han Hui had a little more smile on his face, and said softly: "Qian Lang, don't tease Lang Jun." ”

"Blame me again, he really obeys the will of the official, isn't it you who is most disappointed." Qian Xu smiled: "I'm helping you." ”

"Lang Jun became an official, that is a matter of honoring the ancestors, how can I be disappointed." Han Hui said: "With such an appearance, not only the hearts of the fathers and villagers are happy, but even Jiulang's spirit in the sky should be very relieved to know it." ”

"But Uncle Hao, in this way, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Yangzhou." Han Rui said, I don't know whether I am happy or sad in my heart, anyway, we have both tastes, neutralization and dilution, and the happy mood is gone.

"If you don't go back, you won't go back, anyway, we expected it, you won't go back with us." Han Hui sighed a little: "With Lang Jun's talent, it is true that he should not nest in Yangzhou, it is like a bird, its wings are hard, and it will fly sooner or later." ”

"Uncle Hao......" Han Rui was a little sad.

"Hehe, what are you doing, it looks like it's life and death." Qian Xu said with a smile: "We haven't left yet, besides, I returned to Yangzhou, it was to run a business, and Brother Hao has no worries about this." ”

That's right, hearing Qian Xu's reminder, Han Rui hurriedly said, "Uncle Hao, in fact, you can also stay......

"Nope." Han Han shook his head and said: "I have been in Hanjia Village for more than ten years, and I have long been used to life there, and I am not comfortable in the capital for two months, so it is better to go back to be safe, besides, is it possible that Lang Jun will not return to Yangzhou for the rest of his life?" ”

Han Rui hurriedly shook his head, after all, it is his hometown of emotional sustenance, and no matter how far the journey is, he has to take the time to go back.

"Since that's the case, then I'll go back and guard the Yangzhou family business for Lang Jun." Han Hui said, his tone was very firm, obviously not easily shaking this thought.

Han Rui's eyebrows locked slightly, there was no way, fortunately, there was Duan Yuzi as a buffer, at least before the Lantern Festival, for most of the month, Han Hui would not leave, and he could be persuaded.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Qian Xu made a round and said with a smile: "Twenty-one Lang, now that you are an official, what are you going to do with that fireworks business?" ”

After thinking for a moment, Han Rui said categorically: "In a few days, it will be the Spring Festival, and then the New Year's Eve, this period of time, but it is the most festive time of the year, the demand for fireworks is the most, and it can't be wrong, according to my uncle's proposal, hire more than 100 craftsmen, sell as much as you want, maybe you can make tens of thousands of dollars." ”

"It's a good idea, but Uncle has a better idea, and it's actually based on your own ideas." Qian Xu smiled mysteriously: "Do you want to listen to it?" ”

"Uncle, please." After a while, Han Rui's eyes lit up, and he admired him, Jiang is still old and spicy, and he has been crawling and rolling in the business for most of his life, and it is really not comparable to a newcomer like himself, although he also has his own credit, but no matter how advanced his knowledge is, no one has the flexible and keen surname to draw inferences.

Just as he was about to express his gushing respect, a ghost crying wolf howled outside the hall: "Twenty-one Lang ......"

The three of them laughed together, and before they got up, Qian Feng rushed over, and his heavy steps shook the wooden plank corridor, which made people tremble, afraid that he would be careless and fall down, and that's it, if the board layer was punctured and had to be repaired again, it would be a little troublesome.

Ignoring these ridicules, and not even caring about his father's scolding, Qian Feng exclaimed excitedly: "Twenty-one Lang, Secretary Provincial School Shulang, is it true?" ”

"If the eunuchs just now weren't pretending, they shouldn't be fake." Han Rui smiled.

"Tooth brand ......" Qian Feng smiled brightly, and had no choice but to stretch out his fat palm, and when he saw Han Rui take it out, he simply snatched it up, watched it carefully, rubbed it in his palm, and looked intoxicated.

Embarrassed, Qian Xu couldn't look at it, and scolded: "What to touch, you have the ability, you can pick it yourself." ”

Qian Feng turned a deaf ear, and after half a ring, he reluctantly returned it to Han Rui, and said proudly: "School Shulang is not rare, if you want to take it, I also want to take the brand of the secretary Lang." ”

This is so familiar, Han Hui and Qian Xu looked at each other, couldn't help laughing, laughed in unison, Qian Feng didn't understand, and didn't pay attention to it, it didn't seem to be enjoyable, pestering Han Rui, and then taking a look at the tooth card.

After another moment, Zheng Renji's family also arrived, hearing the news, Zheng Weide's face was also a little envious, even if he relied on his father's grace to get a lord and a loose official, but he was just a white-collar worker, but he did not have the real glory of Han Rui, which was the same as that of later generations.

The banquet was harmonious, full of laughter and laughter, Zheng Renji was also very attentive, earnestly taught, seriously instructed Han Rui, some rules in the officialdom, and advised: "After leaving the office, do not publicize everything, abide by your duties, try to reduce the roundabout atmosphere of literati and scholars, don't have disputes with colleagues, and don't think highly of yourself, hold talents and pride, and treat officials as if they are nothing, this is a big taboo......"
