Chapter 34: The Library Cabinet
At eight o'clock the next morning, Xintianyou came to Qintianjian again. This time it's not about testing the spiritual roots, but as a temporary worker managing books.
Officials have to get up at six or seven o'clock in the morning, commonly known as "Dianmao". He is not officially on the staff, and he is not qualified to be ordered, and no one will pay attention to him if he goes too early.
Along the way, I heard that the civilians in the market were talking about two things, the white crane coming to the city, and the golden Arhat. The people of Wangcheng were indeed sensitive, and they immediately sensed the danger of the confrontation between two forces that transcended mortality. Compare the great significance they contain, the so-called gambling, fighting, spring test...... That's not a thing.
The gate of Qin Tianjian was still crowded, and the boys and girls were chattering excitedly, and the focus was different.
The story of Miss Dong's angry beating of the little marquis was spread, and the legend of Tianlinggen exploded among the candidates. The scandal of Zero Linggen was not discussed, and it was tightly covered.
Today's order is so orderly that no one dares to cut in line.
Xintianyou entered through the side door and found the "Giving Room", and a bunch of people had already gathered in the house. Five men dressed in civilian costumes, four dressed as scholars, were waiting to arrange errands. Except for a chubby boy who was about fourteen or fifteen years old, the rest of them were all in their thirties and forties, and their clothes were shabby.
Qin Tianjian's miscellaneous servants rushed to do it, which belonged to the old Huang calendar. After the Hou Party became bigger, fools saw that the Wang Party was going to suffer, and no one was willing to drill into the fire pit. During the period of catching up with the spring exam, there was a shortage of manpower, so I had to downgrade it.
Seeing a richly dressed boy walk in, everyone was stunned, and hurriedly stood up from behind the bookcase.
Xin Tianyou stepped forward and said, "My name is Dong Shu." ”
In order not to conflict with the stupid image he played yesterday, he deliberately slowed down the speed of his speech.
Hu Shilang had ordered it yesterday, and Zhang immediately understood it when he heard it. Respectfully waved his hand and said, "I've seen Dong Gongzi." ”
Then he entered the inner room, found a copper key, and said to the fat boy: "Feng Cheng, take Dong Gongzi to the library pavilion." And personally sent the two to the door, and said with a smile: "Dong Gongzi, there is nothing to do in the library pavilion, you don't have to take care of it every day." If you need anything, please feel free to ......"
The rest stared wide-eyed and confused.
Straight lady thief, I thought there was a noble son, but it turned out that he was looking for work like us. But although people are looking for work, the employer is so polite that he can't come, and hints that he can't come.
This person is more angry than people!
How did they know that Hu Shilang was a third-grade product, only one level lower than the six Shangshu. Zhang Qishi saw that the squire personally went out to arrange a small handyman, how dare he slack off?
The little fat man was very clever, and when he got to no one, he asked with a smile:
"Brother Dong, my name is Feng Cheng. Your father's grade should be quite high, right? I've never seen Zhang give things so politely, and his face is smiling. ”
Xintianyou smiled and said:
"No grade."
Feng Cheng was startled and hurriedly shouted:
"Brother Dong, you must not say this in the future. The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. In the world, except for the king, there is no grade, everyone has a rank. I guess your dad is at least four, right? ”
This sentence is really difficult to answer.
Xintianyou frowned and thought for a moment before speaking.
Whether the father is a small official Xia Xing or a big king Tianqi is not particularly important. They never showed up in their own upbringing, and they never thought of taking advantage of their power.
"Feng Chengcheng, how can ordinary people have a level?"
"Brother Dong, there is...... The first-class noble status, the second-class good status, the third-class merchant status, the fourth-class slave status, and the fifth-class lowly status. Untouchables are the most miserable, passed down from generation to generation, not allowed to be officials, not allowed to buy property, not allowed to intermarry with foreigners, and engage in cheap jobs for life, like prostitutes or something.
"Don't look at the prestige of the prisoner, the status is low. Unlike other places, Huaguo abolished slavery a thousand years ago, and it was restored not long after. After the Apocalypse King ascended the throne, he only stipulated that lowly people were not allowed to be officials, and all other restrictions were abolished. Probably two or three generations later, there will be no sluts in Huaguo. “
"Feng Chengcheng, this division doesn't make sense. Slaves and maids have the most no status, why are they in front? “
"Brother Dong, my name is Feng Cheng...... The slave and maid rise with the master, and the seven-grade official of the gatehouse of the country. Not to mention, when the King of the Apocalypse separated the royal slaves and maids ten years ago, many people cried and refused to leave. Some are truly faithful, and most are greedy for comfort. There is a case of money every month, and everyone dare not mess with it, how can they be willing to get rid of slaves? Who doesn't rush to be such a slave? “
"Hehe, you were just born ten years ago, who did you learn these things from?"
"Daddy taught me, and I thought about it myself. Alas, I got a big brain in the exam, and I really don't want to study. My father said that the insight of the world is knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article. Seeing that I couldn't read, he found a way to send him to Qin Tianjian to run errands, hoping to find an errand in the future. I didn't look at it, but the adults kicked me out of the way early......"
"I see, you don't have a good look in your eyes. Everyone is attached to the Hou Party, and Qin Tianjian will suffer sooner or later. “
Feng Cheng was silent for a while, and said:
"That's the above thing, it has nothing to do with my little radish head."
The little fat man didn't know that just after such a short conversation, Xintianyou had already included him in the inspection list. The Ark Project is lacking a liaison talent.
As he spoke, he came to the library cabinet, which was a mixed brick and stone house. In order to prevent fire, there is not a single piece of wood except for the window, and a large water tank is placed outside as usual.
Xintianyou opened the rusty copper lock and pushed it open.
The door shaft has not been oiled for a long time, and it squeaks and screams unpleasantly. The strong musty smell hit the face, choking people three meters away.
It was dark and empty, and there wasn't even a single bookshelf. On the opposite side and on the left and right walls, a lot of rectangular grooves are carved out to place books.
The room is quite large, but unfortunately there are thousands of grooves densely packed, and only fifty or sixty people can put books. The distribution is not neat, one in the east and one in the west, like a Dalmatian.
At a glance at the bleak scene in front of him, Xintianyou mourned silently for a few breaths, and four words flashed in his heart, guarding and stealing! Dong Shumin hearsay, how can there be so many books? It's just an empty slot.
Seeing that his face was gloomy, the little fat man looked inside the door and muttered, "I have been in Qintianjian for more than half a year, and I have never noticed that the library has been opened. “
Xin Tianyou shook his head with a wry smile and stepped in.
Whatever it is, your own cultivation starts from this little dark house!

Recently, I found a comment on Dian Niang's old swallow, and I don't know if she is swallowed by machine or by hand. I don't have a lot of book reviews in this chapter, but now I have even less. Yesterday, I saw a book review posted by student D, which was very good, and there was no prohibited content, and it disappeared today......
Ha, no matter what, everyone is welcome to complain :0)
