169: Promotion

Cheng Qing thought so, and the mood of Cheng Liu's husband and wife, who stopped when they saw off to Tongzhou, can be imagined.

Cheng Liu's wife Qin was uneasy:

"Master, Rong Niang's death, my heart is not steady, from the eldest brother to the sister-in-law, to Cheng Qing, I look at any of them abnormally, and there is a Meng Huaijin, these people are ......"

Did these people really accept compensation from the royal family?

Qin Shi thought of the performance of the fifth master in front of the inner eunuch of the decree, and his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Although the fifth master is the fifth in the clan, he is the eldest brother of his husband. What kind of temperament is this eldest uncle, doesn't the Qin family understand?

The fifth master is definitely not a flattering person.

On the contrary, although he is not a scholar, he is more temperamental than Master Cheng Liu, his temperament is too hard, and he feels that he is not suitable for officialdom. Master Cheng Liu's ability to become a second-grade Shangshu is his own ability, and the fifth master is powerful enough, and he has stabilized the rear of Master Cheng Liu.

The fifth master's heirs are not abundant, and he only raised one son in his early years, and his sons were more than ten years old before giving birth to Cheng Rong.

As long as the Qin clan thought about someone forcibly gouging out his eyeballs, he could understand the degree of pain of the fifth master and the Li clan.

In this way, the fifth master scolded her and her husband in the mourning hall, and it was like nothing else...... Is it normal? No, no, no, it's not normal at all.

The Qin clan would prefer to see the fifth master continue to complain about her, rather than like now, making her unable to figure out the way and making it even more difficult for her to sleep - if you want the Qin clan to carefully describe her feelings now, she will feel that she is sitting on a barrel of gunpowder, and when the powder keg explodes, the Qin clan will be blown to pieces!

After listening to his wife's complaints, Master Cheng Liu hurriedly scolded: "Shut up quickly, don't talk nonsense to provoke the relationship between me and my eldest brother, the pain of losing my daughter, and the eldest brother needs time to relieve it...... People can't be resurrected after death, Rong Niang is already dead, do you want to compensate the Cheng family for her? The thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en, this matter is the royal family's loss, and the thick burial of Rong Niang is just a little compensation from the royal family. ”

Master Cheng Liu persuaded his wife like this, but in his heart, he thought that being an uncle would not let his niece die in vain, it was one thing for the royal family to have compensation, and he had to do something for Rong Niang.

Qin's kind reminder was reprimanded, and he was also very depressed.

But thinking about it again, the fifth master is not an official in the imperial court, and it is not easy to do something when he returns to Nanyi this time.

Is it really too much for yourself?

……

Meng Huai sent Cheng Qing and his entourage to Tongzhou before returning to Beijing.

After Meng Huaijin won the champion, the first time he entered the Hanlin Academy was from the six grades of the 'revision', which is the glory of the champion, and the list of eyes and tanhua into the Hanlin Academy is the 'editing' of the seven grades. Champion, Bangyan and Tanhua, the three first-class jinshi have grades, and the rest of the jinshi can be selected into the Hanlin Academy, collectively referred to as 'Shu Jishi', which is the more excellent in the new science and technology Jinshi, and those who are not selected into the Hanlin Academy must be sent to the states and counties outside the capital to start from the magistrate.

In layman's terms, the Hanlin Academy is equivalent to the cadre academy of modern society, and it is the cradle of the imperial court's reserve officials.

The revision of the Hanlin Academy, as the name suggests, is to repair books and compile canons.

Meng Huaijin has talent and good looks, seeing such a young and handsome champion, the emperor felt happy, and after sending Meng Huaijin to give a lecture to Xiao Yunting last winter, he was promoted to Meng Huaijin to do the Hanlin Academy's 'poetry lecture', which is six products.

The attendant of the Hanlin Academy of Liupin said that it is already very good to have a small house in the inner city, as the old saying goes, the poor Beijing officials, Meng Huaijin is now a member of the poor Beijing officials, the Hanlin Academy is a place where there is not much oil and water to fish, and he, a newcomer to the officialdom, is even poorer.

This small house is still leased rather than bought directly, and the small two-entry house is just enough for Meng Huaijin and his mother, plus a few people to live in.

The house is small, even Meng Huaijin's horse has to be kept in the middle of the road, the carriage is not unaffordable, there is really no place to put it, and the car and sedan chair are rented temporarily.

There are many high-ranking officials and powerful people in the capital, and Meng Huaijin is not as carefree as he was in Nanyi. But neither he nor Mrs. Meng had anything uncomfortable, because the days that were more difficult than this had passed, and one champion felt that he couldn't live, what could others do.

Meng Huaijin returned home, Mrs. Meng's eyes were also red, and she pulled Meng Huaijin and asked a lot of questions.

For Cheng Rong's death, Mrs. Meng felt very sorry, she had already regarded Cheng Rong as her future daughter-in-law, Meng Huai was in the township test to understand the yuan, the Meng family was happy first and then mourned, everything has changed after all.

"That's really a good boy, even if he is buried in the Meng family, my mother agrees."

Mrs. Meng burst into tears as she spoke, but was stopped by Meng Huaijin: "Since the Cheng family refused, don't mention such words in the future, Miss Rong had nothing to do with the Meng family during her lifetime, and she should be quiet after her death, so let her go quietly and quietly, and don't be disturbed again." ”

It's okay if the fifth master didn't agree.

Although he was sincere when he made this suggestion, thinking about it afterwards, it was also a troublesome matter to really let Cheng Rong be buried in the ancestral grave of the Meng family.

It is better to let Cheng Rongqing return to Nanyi quietly, and no one will disturb the peace in the future.

Less than an hour after Meng Huaijin returned home, a colleague came to congratulate him.

It turned out that at today's court meeting, Xiao Yunting also went, the emperor naturally cared about Xiao Yunting's body, and asked Xiao Shizi about his recent life, Xiao Shizi said that everything was fine, the hot spring Zhuangzi rewarded by the emperor was good, and Meng Zhuangyuan, who was sent by the emperor to give him a lecture, laughed at what Xiao Shizi said, and said that he was not wrong in front of the minister of civil and military affairs:

“…… There is a vacant position for a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy, and the Holy Lord will promote you to a lecturer! Congratulations to Mr. Meng, congratulations to Mr. Meng! ”

From the waiter to the waiter, it is just from the sixth rank to the fifth grade, it seems that there is only half a level, but it is too difficult to rise to this half level!

The highest official of the Hanlin Academy is also only five grades, and he is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

Below the bachelor's degree, there are two bachelors and two bachelors from the fifth grade, Meng Huaijin has become one of the four second-in-command of the Hanlin Academy, and it is no wonder that colleagues can't wait to come to congratulate!

From then on, it is not a compliment to call Meng Huaijin a bachelor, but a real name, and the bachelor is also a bachelor, which is essentially different from the six-grade bachelor.

The attendant of the Hanlin Academy can go to give a lecture to the prince, and the attendant is theoretically qualified to give a lecture to the prince.

At this moment, Xiao Yunting insisted that he was a bachelor, what did he want to do?

Meng Huaijin didn't have the joy of being promoted, he already had the intention of going his own way with Xiao Yunting, but obviously Xiao Yunting didn't think so!
