Chapter 244: Heaven's Decision
Mei Xiaoren couldn't help frowning, "That's ...... All right? ”
Gu Chuyu raised his eyes to look at her, put down the teacup and stretched out his hand to get back the things in her hand, and deliberately said lightly: "If you think it's not good, just don't say it." ”
With such an opportunity, how could Mei Xiaoren be willing to give up, she held the official book tightly in her arms, "Actually, I didn't think it was a good way to buy an official before." She smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if it's good or not, I'm not thin-skinned anyway." ”
She flipped through the official book, read it roughly, and a question arose in her heart, "Not all the official positions above are vacant, how do I know which one to choose?" ”
"Which one you like, I'll ask them to make room for you."
Mei Xiaoren's hand turned the page for a pause, then closed the official book, and said: "This is really bad, I am tired of asking people to circle the vacancy, and I will choose again." ”
"Then you might as well go back to the Beijing Government Office, the post of Fu Yin is still vacant."
Mei Xiaoren shook his head, "I have been imprisoned and convicted, even if the matter has passed, it is still a stain on me, and now you have to be a master of the Xiangye to cover up and escape and be promoted to the third grade, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public when I go back." ”
She put the official position book on the table, put her hands on her cheeks, "I don't ask how big the official position is, it's okay to have seven grades, it's a big deal to start all over again." He added, "If I can, I want to go back to Xuanzhou to see if there is an official position that can go to Xuanzhou after taking office?" ”
"If you go back to Xuanzhou, do you want to come to Beijing again?"
"Why don't you want to, how can you run away halfway before you repay the life-saving grace." Mei Xiaoren sighed, smiled again, and lowered his eyes, "The prefect was dismissed because of me, I should go back to make amends to him, and I will go back." ”
Gu Chuyu nodded and agreed, "It's okay to go out for a walk, wait for you to have nothing to worry about, and then come back and make a comeback." ”
On the afternoon of the second day, Mei Xiaoren and Gu Chuyu played against each other in the garden.
Xingyun walked over and presented a stack of pamphlets, each corresponding to an official position, which detailed the duties of this official position and recent errands.
After reading everything, Mei Xiaoren was unable to make any decision for a while.
She has never picked an official position, and every time she takes up the appointment of the officials, and then learns how to sit in this position.
The official positions in front of her are as big as the governor and as small as the head of the six ministries, and they all have the opportunity to go to Jiangnan, and there is no difference to her.
After thinking about it, Mei Xiaoren decided to let God help her make a choice.
In front of Chu Yu, she closed her eyes and asked Xingyun to stack these booklets of the same size on the table in a disorderly order.
Mei Xiaoren stretched out his index finger and roamed on the side, finally stopping at a book.
She opened her eyes, took out the booklet and opened it, the corresponding official position is the head of the military department, Zheng Liupin, recently she needs to requisition grain and grass from various armament granaries to go to the border of Yunxian County to prepare for a possible war.
She looked at the clerk and said, "It's okay, it's just that the grain is collected along the road and sent to Yunxian County, it's not difficult." ”
"If you like it."
Gu Chuyu nodded personally, and the appointment documents of the Ministry of Officials were issued faster than ever. The news that Mei Xiaoren was re-appointed to the official position spread all over the streets and alleys of Shangjing, as if the wind was stirring, and several families were happy and some were sad.
Since the time when there was a street parade, Mei Xiaoren's reinstatement was the desire of the people, and the people were naturally happy when they heard that she had returned to the court.
But this is a piece of news that makes Wei Guogong and his staff feel very headaches. Even if they and Mei Xiaoren are already strangers, they have to admit that Mei Xiaoren's ability should not be underestimated, if Gu Xiang supports him greatly, I am afraid that he will become the most powerful hand of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Military Department.
On Mei Xiaoren's first day in office, he was shocked by the scene in front of him as soon as he got off the sedan chair......
From the secretary of the military department to the small officials without official ranks, nearly 100 people stood outside the gate of the military department, waiting for her to come alone.
I think she didn't enjoy this kind of treatment all the way up, she was treated coldly by Gao Jingshu when she took office in Xuanzhou Mansion, and she was made difficult by Tao Mansion Yin when she went to Beijing Mansion.
In the future, her personal prestige can be slowly established.
The military department Shangshu personally greeted him, "Lord Mei has worked hard all the way, please come inside." ”
Mei Xiaoren bowed his head and said: "Lord Shangshu is polite, how dare you take a humble position." ”
"Where is it, this officer has long seen the extraordinary courage of Lord Mei, and has admired it for a long time, and now Lord Mei can choose to serve in the military department, which is really a blessing for this officer and his subordinates."
While leading her in, the military department Shangshu said, "Previously, Master Mei was dismissed due to a disaster, and the official also sighed that the heavens were jealous of the talent, fortunately, God has eyes, so that the virtuous brother can be reborn, the virtuous brother can rest assured, the things that should be forgotten, the official and his subordinates will definitely forget it cleanly, and the virtuous brother will be on duty here with peace of mind in the future, and if there are any difficulties, just tell the official." ”
A Shang Shuken is willing to call her a brother and a brother, and Chu Yu still has a big face.
She is not the only one in charge of the military department, and Lord Shangshu has prepared a separate official house for her, which is very spacious, next door to Lord Shilang's official house.
The military department Shangshu led her to look at the furnishings in the room, "I heard that the virtuous brother likes plum blossoms, these things are specially prepared for the virtuous brother, is the virtuous brother still satisfied?" If they are not satisfied, they will be replaced immediately. ”
Mei Xiaoren looked around, and sure enough, whether it was the vase on the shelf or the inkstone on the table, the ornamentation on it was plum blossoms.
She said politely: "No, no, Master Shangshu bothered." ”
No matter how good the official party is, now is not the time for her to sit here for a long time, the first errand she has to do is to prepare military rations and send them to Yunxian County, Xuanzhou.
After the military department arranged everything, it was time for her to set off.
Charging food is not better than patrolling or touring the mountains and rivers, the itinerary is rushing, in addition to taking a boat, you have to ride a horse to hurry, for this reason, the day before she left, Chu Yu took her to the stable and picked a horse for her.
Xia Guobao horse Mei Xiaoren had seen several horses, but the horse in front of her was taller and taller than all she had ever seen, and at first glance it was a peerless horse that was hard to find.
Mei Xiaoren stood in the stable, stroked the black and shiny mane and asked, "What is its name?" ”
"Chasing the wind." Gu Chuyu replied outside.
"It's a good horse, isn't it?"
"It was once chosen as a royal horse by the old monarch of the Xia Kingdom, but it was too old to enjoy it, so he cut his love and dedicated it to Daning."
As soon as he talked about the Xia National Treasure Horse, Mei Xiaoren would think of Jiang Rong and said, "Speaking of which, I still owe His Royal Highness King Yu a Xia National Treasure Horse, I haven't seen him for a few days, is he gone again?" ”
"No, he was grounded in the palace by His Majesty."
Mei Xiaoren was surprised when he heard this: "Made a mistake? ”
"Perhaps." Gu Chuyu continued, "Don't worry, it's a good thing that King Yu has stopped." ”
Mei Xiaoren silently stroked the wind, as if caring for a peerless treasure.
"Take good care of it, it will stay with me for a long time."
When she heard Chu Yu say behind her, she smiled slightly, and replied without looking back: "Got it." ”
