Today is the last day of his tenure in the Nanjing Criminal Department, and he will leave for Beijing early tomorrow morning to serve as the left attendant of the Beijing Officials' Department. The left waiter of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials, several Lang Zhong, Wai Lang, and the Lord Shangshu who was recuperating at home all rushed over and prepared to make a trip for Lord Meng.

The other six ministries and three law divisions, and other officials who had a good relationship with Meng Shilang, were also coming to attend his dinner tonight, which was held in the Retranslation Building. However, Rui Chuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Zhang Ziyuan, the secretary of Dali Temple, Pei Tianci, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Yin Xiao Shiqi of Yingtianfu actually came in advance and came to his signing room together.

"A few people, it seems that you are very idle in the yamen, hehe, this feast will be held again in the evening, you will open it now, are you hungry for my old Meng's wine? Cheng, let's chat first, it won't be so easy to meet in the future, let's go to the translation building together in a while. ”

Meng Shilang was very happy to see a few old friends, and hurriedly invited them to take a seat, and said with a smile. Rui Chuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, leaned back in the chair and said weakly: "Old Meng, you will be promoted to the capital immediately, before leaving, you can do well, put away the mallet." ”

Meng Shilang was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Lord Rui, where did you start talking about this, what kind of mallet?" ”

Rui Chuan stroked his forehead with his hand, and said helplessly: "It's the Ye Xiaotian you sent to me, it's really a life, such an ignorant fool, you send him to me, the old man has to be angry with him to death." ”

Rui Chuan told Meng Shilang about Ye Xiaotian's heroic feats, and Meng Shilang couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, it's really interesting, I heard that Guizhou is closed, and some officials promoted on the spot are very vulgar and ignorant, but I don't want it to be true, haha......"

Rui Chuan rolled his eyes and said stupidly: "Are you still laughing?" I don't care. As for the person, I have already sent you back, just waiting outside, I absolutely can't use this person, and I don't dare to use it, you better find another job for him. ”

Meng Shilang couldn't help but smile and looked at Zhang Ziyuan and the others, and bluffed Zhang Ziyuan, Pei Tianci and the others into hurriedly waving their hands: "Don't!" I don't want it! Lao Meng, be kind, you will be promoted to the capital immediately, you can't bully old friends like this. ”

Meng Shilang saw this. frowned, and said embarrassedly: "It's just a miscellaneous petty official who doesn't enter the stream, why can't I arrange it?" ”

Pei Tianci, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, coughed and said: "Actually, if Ye Xiaotian makes this kind of joke, it may not be ignorance. Rui Shangshu, you are from the Criminal Department, I am from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Master Zhang, you are from Dali Temple. Our Three Law Divisions are not the same as other yamen, and many people who have memorized the Four Books and Five Classics have come to our judicial yamen, and they still have to learn from scratch? There have also been people who don't understand the rules. Lots of jokes. ”

Zhang Ziyuan said nonchalantly: "There are jokes, but I haven't seen anyone make such unbearable jokes." ”

Rui Chuan's eyes were blazing and said, "What, Pei Yushi is planning to get him to your Yushi Terrace?" Then I'll thank you first. ”

"Whoa! Laughing, laughing! Pei Tianci hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Yanguan Yushi." If you have to be a jinshi or a prisoner, you can't serve as a prisoner, so Ye Xiaotian just raised his background and asked him to go to my imperial history platform. What can be done? Cough! That's the case, I think there is a place that is very suitable for him to go, Meng Shilang might as well do good deeds before leaving, he has stopped, and we are stable. ”

Meng Shilang said curiously: "Oh? But I don't know what kind of yamen Pei Zongxian is talking about? ”

Pei Tianci smiled slightly and said, "Ministry of Rites!" ”

As soon as he said this, several other adults couldn't help but look at each other, and Meng Shilang said: "Pei Zongxian, are you kidding, the Ministry of Rites is the most disciplined of the six departments, this person is not well-behaved in our Ministry of Officials and Criminal Department, and he doesn't understand the rules, so he can still go to the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Pei Tianci smiled: "Master Meng, I haven't finished yet." The Ministry of Rites does have the most rules and the largest, but there is a place in the Ministry of Rites, but it is extremely leisurely, and if you arrange him there, we will all have peace of mind. ”

Meng Shilang said curiously: "There is such a place? What does Mr. Pei refer to? ”

Pei Tianci said word by word: "Huitong Hall!" ”

The high-ranking officials looked at each other again, and after a long silence, Zhang Ziyuan, the secretary of Dali Temple, slapped his face violently and praised: "Wonderful! The Huitong Pavilion is indeed an excellent place to go. Our Ming Dynasty's hall has a place in the north and south of Beijing, but this Nanjing's hall is almost a virtual one, and it has not received a foreign envoy for many years, and it is very idle. ”

Ying Tianfu Yin Xiao Shiqi twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Not only foreign envoys, but also the tributes of all the barbarian officials, never stop in Nanjing, but go straight to Beijing, the imperial court has repeatedly moved, whether to abolish the Nanjing Huiguan, just considering that the Nanyang countries may send envoys to come, there will be a stay here, I am dignified in the Heavenly Empire, and I will not abolish the relevant institutions in order to save some money in such a small place, so I have always retained." However, since Emperor Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing, this Nanjing Huitong Pavilion has been used only a handful of times, and if I remember correctly, there has been no foreign envoy in Fanbang in the past 60 years. ”

Meng Shilang said with a smile: "Pei Zongxian, you woke up the dreamer with a word!" It's done, then send him to the Ministry of Rites and Rites, hey! It's really not worry-free, and it's over that of him, Meng is in Jinling, and it can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end! ”

"Hahahaha......, Master Ye, it's only been two days, and you have become Ambassador Ye again, hahaha, laugh at me......"

Zhan Ning'er smiled forward and backwards, and Sister Sun didn't smile with a tense face, for fear of upsetting Ye Xiaotian, but she held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, she secretly glanced at Ye Xiaotian, and quickly held back, but the loneliness at the corner of her lips turned upward.

Tang Xianzu said with a sad face: "Officials, you only worked for one day, the Criminal Department, you worked for two days, this blink of an eye, you were sent to the Ministry of Rites again, Brother Xian, I have been a country for more than 200 years, and you are the only one who has changed two masters of the yamen within three days." ”

Ye Xiaotian rolled his eyes and said in his heart: "I just want to go back to Huxian, then Meng Shilang is also dead-eyed, why do you have to leave me in Jinling?" I heard that this hall is a very idle yamen, and now the establishment is not complete, only three or two kittens are left to barely maintain, and it is a dispensable yamen in the Ministry of Rites, I went there, but I am afraid that I can't toss any wind and waves, how is this good? ”

Tang Xianzu saw that Zhan Ning'er was still smiling, so he said: "Miss Zhan, don't laugh either, presumably Brother Xiao Tianxian's heart is also uncomfortable." This Ministry of Rites is not as good as other yamen, for the rules and etiquette, that is particularly particular, for the brother to know a little about this, it is better for the brother to point you out, lest you go to the Ministry of Rites, stay less than three days, and change the yamen. ”

Ye Xiaotian hurriedly excused himself and said, "Uh......, forget about this, Brother Tang, the little brother doesn't care so much about this, I ......"

Tang Xianzu said: "How can this be, you can become a court official as a person, how difficult it is, how can you not cherish it?" Come, come, let me first tell you some basic officialdom etiquette. If you meet an official at the same level in the yamen, you must bow or bow twice; If you see your boss, you have to take a step to the right, stand still, and salute twice......"

Ye Xiaotian said: "Brother Tang......"

Tang Xianzu said: "Listen carefully." If it's your subordinate who salutes you, you just nod and return the salute, and if it's just a handyman, you don't have to return the salute......"

Ye Xiaotian leaned back on the chair helplessly.

Tang Xianzu said: "When you see the emperor, then you generally do three or four bows, and the emperor attends important occasions to do five bows and three kowtows, of course, you are unlikely to see the emperor, this etiquette, you don't need it at all, just know it......"

Ye Xiaotian was drowsy when he heard it, and couldn't help yawning, Zhan Ning'er yawned almost at the same time as him, the two saw each other's movements, and couldn't help but look at each other and smile, and Ning'er suddenly had some inexplicable warmth in her heart: This guy is obviously lazy, why does he like to watch him so much?

On the side, Sister Sun widened her eyes and listened carefully to Tang Xianzu's explanation. By Ye Xiaotian's side, she felt that she couldn't help at all, except for making soup. And when it comes to beauty and family background, Miss Yingying and Miss Ning'er are smarter than her, she is just a little girl in the mountain village, and now it is rare to have such an opportunity, since Brother Xiaotian doesn't want to remember, then she will help Brother Xiaotian write it down......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Early the next morning, Tang Xianzu was worried that Ye Xiaotian was going to the Ministry of Rites today, so he also got up early in the morning and rushed over to tell him thousands of instructions, but Ye Xiaotian was absent-minded, he was not here, but his decision to go back to Huxian County to work hard was not easy to understand and say that he knew with Tang Xianzu, so he had to be perfunctory.

Tang Xianzu saw that he was not enthusiastic, but he was very anxious for him, and in desperation, he suddenly found that Sister Sun had all the words he had confessed in his heart, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he asked Sister Sun to change into men's clothes and accompany Ye Xiaotian out.

Zhan Ning'er didn't know that the reason why Ye Xiaotian was like this was all because he was deliberately messing around, the purpose was to return to Huxian, but with her family background, Ye Xiaotian and other sesame mung bean big officials, she really didn't care if she did it or not, so she didn't care about it.

But now that Sister Sun wants to accompany Ye Xiaotian to the Ministry of Rites, she has a keen sense of crisis, if Yingying leaves and inserts a Doni, then isn't she a tragedy? Therefore, Zhan Ning'er immediately asked to change into men's clothes and accompany Ye Xiaotian to the Ministry of Rites.

As a result, Ye Xiaotian's entourage changed from two to four, Hua Yunfei took out two sets of his clothes for Zhan Ning'er and Sister Sun to change, Sister Sun's clothes were slightly bigger, and Ning Er was slightly tight when she put them on, but she could barely make up, Ye Xiaotian took the four of them and rushed to the Ministry of Rites.

The five of them saw that they had arrived at the location of the sixth department, and suddenly four horses came in front of them, and Ye Xiaotian fixed his eyes: it was Li Xuancheng, the uncle of the country, Xu Qiyun, the little grandfather, and Guan Xiaokun, the son of Rui Chuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Guan Xiaokun, the son of Guan Haishan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
