Chapter 38 New Officials Take Office
After entering the palace, Xiao Qi took Zhang Yuanqing back to the East Palace first, and as the prince's companion, the East Palace naturally had his residence.
As for Xiao Han, she has the Huanxi Building given by the emperor's uncle, and she has her own residence in the palace, so she doesn't have to stay in the East Palace.
After returning to Huanxi Building, Cui Wei first whispered: "County Lord, the slave maid inquired, the Fang Gongzi you chose has now officially accepted the position of 'Prince and Prince'. ”
In this regard, Xiao Han was not surprised: "The Fang family is not a family with a deep background, even if Fang Qian is unwilling, he does not have the capital to resist the will. What's more, he may not be unwilling to take this official position. ”
At this time, Hongxiu walked in with porridge: "I heard that the county lord is back, so the slave maid brought you the bird's nest porridge that has been warm in the small kitchen, you can eat it while it's hot." ”
After putting the porridge down, Xiao Han used it slowly.
Although she grew up in the northwest, before she was three years old, Princess Fushou's nurturing grandmother had been responsible for disciplining her.
So, some habits have been preserved, which is why she can't fault etiquette.
After using the bird's nest porridge, she wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief before she said, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Hongxiu took out a house deed from her cuff and handed it to her: "County Lord, the yard you asked the slave and maid to buy before, the slave and maid have already chosen, and as for the other things you ordered, they have all been done." ”
Xiao Han looked at the deed and all the expenses made by Hongxiu one by one, and found that Hongxiu not only did not pay from the account, but also had a part left.
Naturally, there are still some scattered silver taels left together, and there are still more than a dozen taels when calculated.
Xiao Han directly handed over the purse with the scattered silver taels to Hongxiu: "You did a good job in this matter, and the rest of the silver is given to you, which can be regarded as a silver reward." ”
Hongxiu was overjoyed and said: "The slave and maid thank the county lord, the county lord is blessed and healthy." ”
Xiao Han smiled: "Okay, this is what you deserve." Now that the courtyard has been arranged, you will leave the palace with my token in a while and go to the county lord's mansion. Go to the mansion to find Liu Xing, arrange Lu Yi and the others to the courtyard you are looking for, and let them live first. Tell them that I have my own decisions about reading. ”
"No."
After Hongxiu was ordered to leave, Xiao Han also felt a little sleepy, and lay on the bed and squinted for a while.
After waking up, I had a meal, and the time was almost over, and it was time to go to the East Palace to accompany the study.
Xiao Han straightened his clothes, and then led Cuiwei to the East Palace in a hurry.
Fortunately, I arrived at the upper study room before the arrival of the new master to avoid leaving a bad impression on the new teacher.
However, what surprised and shocked her was that Xiao Qi had already arrived, reading a book in her place, and her expression was very serious.
She sneaked a glance and found that he was reading "University", which shocked her.
Just when she was relieved to feel that Xiao Qi had grown up and become sensible, Xiao Qi, who was holding the book, turned the page.
Xiao Han, who had a particularly good eye, found that it didn't seem to be words, but pictures.
This made her a little puzzled, how could there be pictures in the content of "University"?!
As she observed, she gradually became suspicious of its contents.
She took advantage of Xiao Qi's indulgence in it and snatched the book over.
After looking through it carefully, I found that this is "University", which is a comic book at all.
She said helplessly: "Aren't you afraid that the new Taishi will find out?!" ”
After being discovered, Xiao Qi was still a little weak in the end, but he couldn't be upright and strong: "What can I do if I find out, he still dares to hit the palace?!" ”
Xiao Han sighed: "Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgotten that Zhang Yuanqing and I are your companions." If the Taishi really cares, even if the Taishi doesn't beat you, he can beat us, which can be regarded as a punishment for you. ”
Xiao Qi's tone was uncertain: "He... He shouldn't have the guts... Right...?! ”
"Not necessarily, if the minister knew that you would do this, he might indeed punish you." A clear voice sounded behind them.
Xiao Han turned around and found that the person who came was wearing an official uniform, and the flying crane ornament on the official uniform and the goldfish talisman on his body all proved his identity.
The three of them saluted separately, and they performed the posterior salute, even Xiao Yan, who was the crown prince, was no exception.
It was only after he finished saluting that Fang Qian saluted Xiao Qi again. After all, although Xiao Qi is a student, he is also the crown prince of the dynasty.
After that, Fang Qian saluted Xiao Han again: "Xia Guan has seen the county lord of Pingle, the county lord Wanfu Jin'an. ”
The crown prince and the prince are from the second-rank official position, and Xiao Han is the county lord who has a jade plate and has an official title.
Although it is only a county lord who has no real power, he is equivalent to an official from the first rank in terms of official position.
This is also the reason why he bowed like Xiao Han, and Xiao Han accepted this salute.
When Fang Qian didn't pay attention, Xiao Han quietly wanted to hide the 'forbidden book' disguised as "University".
Fang Qian said with a smile: "The county lord is tired of handing over the book in your hand to the minister, and the minister wants to know what kind of book can make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince love so much." ”
Originally, Fang Qian had long eyebrows and beautiful eyes, because he had read poetry and books since he was a child, and his temperament was outstanding.
In addition, he is wearing an official uniform today, and his jet-black black hair is meticulously tied in the official hat, and the whole person is abstinence.
Regardless of her previous life or this life, Xiao Han has to admit that she has the most helpless way to deal with this kind of polite man.
Therefore, she ignored Xiao Qi's pleading eyes on the side, and handed over the "University" in her hand to Fang Qian without hesitation.
After Fang Qian took it, he didn't look through it immediately, but put it away.
He took out a set of test questions and divided them among the three people, who took it and saw that it was the test paper used for the imperial examination.
In addition to Zhang Yuanqing's calm expression, Xiao Han and Xiao Qi were at a loss after they got this set of papers.
Because they can't figure it out, and they are not candidates preparing for the imperial examination, why should they be asked to do the test questions that the candidates do?!
As if seeing their confusion, Fang Qian explained: "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the county lord can rest assured, this set of questions is tried by children, and it is not very difficult. The purpose of the minister was to test it and then draw up a future educational policy. ”
After learning that this was the test paper of the 'Tongsheng Test', the expressions of the two people still did not relax, and they were very clear about what they were.
After doing a few hard steps, Xiao Qi began to become sleepy and kept yawning.
Xiao Han is slightly better than him, if he can fill in, if he can't, he will rely on Meng. Make sure it's all filled, so it doesn't look like she's uneducated!
Among the three of them, probably only Zhang Yuanqing wrote all the test papers with a stick of incense.
Zhang Yuanqing is not stupid, he did not hand in the paper immediately, but chose to be in a daze in his position to kill time.
After an hour, Xiao Han couldn't cover anything, and Xiao Han was already drowsy.
Fang Qian suddenly said: "Presumably, there must be nothing to write about, so let's hand in the papers." ”
As he spoke, he put away the rolls of the three of them.
After that, he looked at the time and said with a smile: "Let's do this today, the minister will leave first." ”
As he spoke, he left the East Palace, leaving Xiao Han, who racked his brains, and Xiao Yan, who didn't understand anything from beginning to end.
