Ye Xiaotian had made up his mind, so he took the official document issued by the officials, accompanied by Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi, went to the Nanjing officials' department, and came back with a farewell body and official uniform. Early the next morning, Ye Xiaotian changed into his official uniform and led Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi to the ministry.

Ye Xiaotian was wearing a green robe, wearing a horned head, and a practice magpie embroidered on the complement. This is the pattern on the miscellaneous civil official supplement uniform that does not enter the stream, in order, the main and deputy nine products are quails, the main and deputy eight products are yellow orioles, the main and deputy seven products are emu, and the main and deputy six products are herons, if Ye Xiaotian can turn the small training magpie on his chest into a long-legged and thin heron within three years, even if his "beast" is successful, he can hold the beauty.

In fact, there are not many official positions in the Ming Dynasty, and there are not many regular servants who receive salaries from the imperial court, so there are a large number of supplementary services and assistants at all levels of the yamen, which are supported by the local government and even the local officials themselves.

Therefore, Ye Xiaotian bought two sets of soap clothes for Mao Wenzhi and Hua Yunfei, and the two of them accompanied him to the ministry. With such a small rank, not to mention Shangshu, even the waiter will not see him, and even Lang Zhong and Wailang do not need to be received, but Ye Xiaotian doesn't know if it was because of Zhang Jiangling's special attention, he was actually received by Guo Shun in the Ministry of Officials.

This Guo Langzhong was very polite to Ye Xiaotian, and asked about his resume with a smile, and then sent him out with a pleasant face, looking at the back of Ye Xiaotian walking out, Guo Langzhong stroked his beard and smiled, and secretly thought: "What kind of character Gu old friend is, but for some reason, he actually made a holiday with such a sesame mung bean official." Maybe it's rare for him to open his mouth once, so I'll help him, and in two days, I'll set up a bureau to let this kid get in. So that he can not turn over from now on. ”

The one who led Ye Xiaotian to see Guo Langzhong was a bookstore named Wang Qingshuo. This Wang Qingshuo didn't know the details of Ye Xiaotian, he was quite red when he saw him ascend to the sky in one step, but now when he saw him arrive, he was received by Guo Langzhong unusually, and thought that he had something to do with Guo Langzhong, so he was a lot more affectionate between words.

Ye Xiaotian came out of Guo Langzhong's signing room and said to Wang Qingshuo: "Wang Shuban, I don't know what I'm responsible for as a promoter?" ”

Wang Qingshuo smiled: "Ye Tiju." No wonder you don't know that our ministry has never promoted such an official position in the first place. If there is an official rank in our ministry, the smallest is also a six-grade, and there are really no miscellaneous officials who are not in the stream, but Ye Tiju is specially taken care of by the imperial court, so he has set up a special promotion position for you, which is still quite unprecedentedly in our official department. I don't know what you're responsible for. ”

When Wang Qingshuo said this, he stopped, pointed to a small signing room in front of him and said, "Here, this is your office." Ye Tiju might as well walk around and get familiar with his colleagues, presumably in two days, Guo Langzhong will be sent to arrange it. ”

Ye Xiaotian saw that he spoke politely. Busy also said politely: "There is a secretary to King Lao." ”

After the Wang Shuban said goodbye and left, Mao asked Zhidao: "Big brother, I really asked the old soup to guess." People are really getting an idle job to raise you, if you want me to say, we really might as well go back to Hu County, no matter how small your official is there, you are also the leader of the county, and here you are an official who is bigger than you, so it's boring. ”

Ye Xiaotian glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, do you think I don't want to leave?" However, we have to find out what is going on here. I think it's not easy to go from a small place to a big place, but it's easy to go from a big place to a small place that no one wants to go. But the premise is that we have to have someone who can speak. ”

Hua Yunfei said: "Big brother, Zhang Hong's father is the secretary of the military department, if we go his way......"

Ye Xiaotian said: "Zhang Shangshu's door can naturally go, but after all, he is the Ministry of War, and he is stepping across the yamen, so asking him for help for this little thing is a waste of friendship." Don't worry, let's think of a way by ourselves first, and then ask Zhang Hongchou for help. ”

The three brothers said, only went to their own small signing room for a while, then came out to wander around, and when they came to a waiting room with doors and windows open, they suddenly saw a seven-rank official sitting inside, as if waiting for some big man to receive him.

The two miscellaneous servants under the porch looked at the seven-rank official and talked in a low voice, and one of them said, "Isn't this Bai Hong, the county magistrate of Jiangpu?" ”

The latter said: "It's not him, there is a proverb in the countryside: termites cross the border, and no grass grows." This cool official, why did he come to the ministry to wait for him, could it be that he still had to be promoted? ”

The former said: "Brother be cautious, don't speak lightly about the integrity of officials, good and evil." ”

The latter said disapprerovingly: "What's this, who doesn't know his reputation in the market?" This person blindly climbs up, never caring whether the people live or die. , but he never reported the disaster in the year of the disaster, but blindly coerced the people to pay taxes, causing the wives to be separated, and whoever wanted to sue was put in prison by him, and he also coerced the people to give him an umbrella, he was a cool official with a clean official hat! ”

The former person was timid and afraid, and hurriedly interrupted him: "If you are not in your position, you don't seek politics, and you can be disgusted by talking nonsense." Since he came to the ministry to report on his work, it shows that the superiors have a good impression of him, and it is better to be cautious. ”

As the two spoke, they strolled away, but they didn't notice that their conversation was being listened to by the three Ye Xiaotian who came from behind, Ye Xiaotian was now thinking about turning back to Huxian, and he really didn't want this blessing of being blushing by others, he touched his chin and thought about it, and suddenly thought about it, and hurriedly called Hua Yunfei to the front and gave a few words in his ear.

Hua Yunfei said hesitantly: "Big brother, is he a cool official, what does he have to do with me, why bother to play tricks on him?" ”

Ye Xiaotian said with a smile: "I just want to be demoted back to Huxian, I have to do something to make it, I can't make a big mistake, if I do, it will be self-defeating, and a small mistake is just right, not to mention such a cool official, it should be rectified." ”

Hua Yunfei has always been obedient to Ye Xiaotian's words, and when he heard him say this, he bowed his head and said: "Little brother knows, go and go back." ”

Bai Hong, the magistrate of Jiangpu, was sitting in the waiting room, but his heart was excited, and his palms were full of sweat. He did not hesitate to point out that he only took the test to become important, and he received excellent evaluations every year, and now he was finally summoned by the Ministry of Officials to take up his post, and his promotion was imminent, and he was naturally excited in his heart.

At this moment, I saw an official walk into the door with two soap servants, and Bai Zhixian was just about to get up. Look at the Lian Que of a miscellaneous official on the official's chest, the raised butt fell down again, but although his rank was much higher than that of others, after all, the entrance of this official was big, he still nodded and smiled politely to this miscellaneous junior official.

Ye Xiaotian walked straight over to him and said with a smile: "This adult, wait to see you?" ”

Bai Hong hurriedly said: "Exactly, I'm waiting for Meng Shilang to meet you, what are you doing?" ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Oh! As for the official officer, he is specially responsible for receiving the officials waiting to be seen. This sir. You have to see Lord Squire, this is not the case, you see, the hat is crooked, the robe is wrinkled, and the belt is not neatly tied. Meng Shilang is the most important appearance, you are very rude like this. ”

Bai Zhixian couldn't help but panic when he heard it: "Really? This...... That...... Bai ......"

Ye Xiaotian waved his hand and said, "Don't panic, you two." Help this adult pick it up. ”

"Yes!"

Mao Wenzhi and Hua Yunfei agreed, and stepped forward to help Bai Xian Ling tidy up, straighten his robe, arrange the crown belt, and Hua Yunfei went around to Bai Zhixian's back to help him sort out the horns of his official hat. He quickly took off his hat, and with a lift of his wrist, he threw a freshly caught scorpion into it, and then buckled it on Bai Zhixian's head. Mao Wenzhi on the side saw it all. Xiang Hua Yunfei grinned.

"It's done! It's a lot neater now. ”

Ye Xiaotian looked Bai Hong up and down a few times, and nodded with a smile.

Bai Hong said gratefully: "There is work, I have to worry about it." After speaking, he took out a piece of snowflake silver from the bottom of his sleeve. Stuffed it into Ye Xiaotian's hand: "Bai is still waiting to be seen, and he can't leave for a while." Invite the three brothers to eat a bowl of tea, hard, hard. ”

Ye Xiaotian took the ingot of silver, and said with a smile: "This adult is too polite, congratulations on his ascension, hahahaha......"

As soon as Ye Xiaotian and the three of them walked out, a servant hurriedly came, stood under the corridor and shouted: "Meng Shilang summoned Bai Hong, the county governor of Jiangpu!" ”

Bai Hong, who had just sat down, was like a spring under his buttocks, swished and bounced up, and hurriedly walked out.

Lord Meng, the right attendant of the ministry, is a person who is over fifty years old and looks very majestic. However, he is about to be promoted to the official department of the capital recently, and he is in a happy mood, so when he saw Bai Hong, he was very pleasant.

Meng Shilang twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Baizhi County, judging from your evaluation in previous years, it is very good, the tax collection is timely, and there has never been any major public security case in the county." ”

Bai Zhixian raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly bowed and said: "My lord's praise, this is all the emperor's wisdom, the support of the officials, and the officials dare not take credit......"

When he said this, Bai Zhixian suddenly frowned, and a strange look appeared on his face.

Meng Shilang said with a smile: "Hey, why be humble, your county is on the verge of the river, but there has been no flood for many years, although God takes care of it, and you are well governed, I heard that the people of your county have also given you the umbrella of the people, and the official reputation is very good......

Bai Zhixian shook his head, Meng Shilang frowned, and said, "What, what the official said is not right?" ”

Bai Zhixian was startled, nodded quickly, and hurriedly shook his head, he only felt that something seemed to be stabbed on the head, and the pain was deep to the bones, but he remembered that this squire was the most important appearance, his future was determined by this big man, he endured the pain, and did not dare to be rude, but he had a splitting headache, and in a panic, he said without hesitation: "No, no, no, what the lord said is very true, the official voice of the lower official...... The official reputation is still excellent. ”

When Bai Zhixian said this, the scorpion venom had already begun to attack, and the pain made his cheeks twitch constantly, and cold sweat was dripping on his forehead. Seeing this, Meng Shilang smiled slightly, and said, "Bai Zhixian, you don't have to be nervous, does this official have such great official authority?" ”

"Oh hehe......, ahhhh............h

: Guan Xiaokun's father should be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, not the squire of the Criminal Department, so the previous chapter was slightly modified.
