After the meal, Yiyi called Qingfeng and Huaxiang and took the car to the yamen. Officials who did not participate in the early dynasty had to rush to the yamen at seven o'clock in the morning, but now it is only six o'clock, and the streets are still very quiet.

Qingfeng was very excited and surprised that the eldest lady transferred her out of the kitchen to bring her to the official office, no wonder the young lady sent all the trivial errands to Nuan Yu last night.

"Thank you, Miss, for giving the slave a chance!" Qingfeng, who felt that he was being reused, finally thanked Yiyi.

"There's no doubt about your ability, and I just hope you'll let me use it too." This is the only one of the six people Yiyi chooses, and Yiyi hopes that she can eventually become a good assistant.

"The slave must be the only lady who looks to the horse." Qingfeng has a little recognition of this young lady from the heart.

The main reason is that she has understood that knowing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and singing is not even a skill for the maid, and many of her talented sisters have to fall into the dust, or sell their physical strength to survive.

In the end, the talent is not as good as the skill of combing the hair of Hua Xiang. It is rare that the Lin Mansion can use the Wenmo maid, and she is confident that her literary talent can dominate everyone, but the main family is not rare. Even if she begged the master to buy her at a high price, she was only sent to the kitchen to do menial work, and her pride was in vain.

But now it seems that the young lady understands her value, and it seems that she did not mean to be humiliated when she was sent to the kitchen before. Although the young lady's personality is a little more arbitrary, she is not contemptuous and harsh to her subordinates, and it is a rare blessing to be able to be with such a little master who will neither suffer from the extra difficulties of being the housewife, nor be wantonly insulted.

There is no romantic fugitive slave in Xun country, and the "Xun Law" stipulates that if a person who sells himself into slavery flees and is caught, the master's family has the right to put him to death; The head of the household who harbored the fugitive slave was executed, the wife and children were confiscated as slaves, and the family property did not compensate the original owner of the fugitive slave; The harbourer's neighbors' houses and their patriarchs are all going to have forty rods and two thousand miles to become sinners.

Therefore, once you are a slave, it is a great blessing to be able to fall into the hands of a generous master.

Even if they are redeemed by the grace of the Lord's family, three generations of descendants will not be allowed to conduct scientific examinations; However, the domestic servants of the main family can be directly qualified for the scientific examination. Therefore, many of the recipients' families have appreciated those who have given good surnames, and most of them are willing to continue to live according to the original owners.

In the past, when she was still a young lady, she was so satisfied with such a strict legal guarantee, which made her commanding the slaves and maids and sluts. Now that she is in a different place, she only feels terrifying. Now her only hope is her beauty, if Miss can choose her as a dowry maid, her life may not be without a turnaround.

All the way from the south gate of the imperial city to Honglu Temple, Yiyi began the first day of the life of an ancient female official.

Yiyi arrived at the official office, and yesterday's banquet guests had already met many colleagues, although they were not very familiar with them, it was better than not knowing them at all.

Everyone seemed to be very busy, and after a while, someone led her to meet Xu Yuan, the smiling tiger of the right Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.

Normally, it should be Si Bin's department to summon her to assign tasks, Yiyi doesn't know what difficult tasks are waiting for her, although she has the knowledge and skills of the original owner, but there is still a distance from integration, Yiyi is a little nervous like facing the enemy.

"Lin Mingzan, at the beginning of today, I first went to the Ministry of Officials and Literature and Literature Selection Department to take the exam, and then went to the Ministry of Officials to discuss the exam, and when the Ministry of Officials is evaluated, then come to the official office to arrange your duties, so as not to bury your talents." Xu Yuan finished speaking with a sincere and affectionate look for the sake of his subordinates, and said: "Recently, the official office has been busy, so I won't leave you to talk much, and we will discuss it when the results of the officials come out." As he spoke, he served tea and sent it off.

Yiyi was called in with a cloudy head, and walked out with a bright heart.

This guy is his father's number one competitor, and now Lord Lu of Honglu Temple is 67 years old, even if he is in good health, when he is 70 years old, the court will force him to do it, not to mention that Lord Lu's health does not seem to be very good. Lord Lu had the grace of knowing his grandfather back then, and he had a close relationship with the Lin family; 's father is Zuo Shaoqing, who ranks second in Honglu Temple, and he is simply the number one enemy on this guy's promotion.

My father was exceptionally promoted to Zuo Shaoqing of Honglu Temple in order to facilitate the leadership of the visiting group, so as not to be inferior to command and cooperation. Such airborne troops are already prone to ostracism in the group; What's more, my father has only been in contact with some of his colleagues who have visited with the group, and the mass base is a big step behind; Finally, my father is now seriously injured and in a coma, and it is a big question whether he can wake up in three months and reinstate himself, so it will be difficult for him to find allies among his colleagues.

If it weren't for the fact that the king of Yuchuan County was the initiator of yesterday's visit, it is estimated that there would be very few people present, and maybe even a few insignificant colleagues would only be sent by Xu Yuandian to the scene.

It can be said that with the semi-retired state of Master Lu, the people of the Yamen are always ready to join the new boss, and his first-hand influence has existed in name only. Even if his father returned to Beijing and was not injured, it would take a lot of effort to pull up his own team on this hill where the smiling tiger had been entrenched for a long time, so he was now a lone "Lin family army" in Honglu Temple, and he was the representative of Lin Zhaode against Xu Yuan, so it was strange that he was not "taken care of".

At present, when it is the time to employ people, Xu Yuan does not go to the ministry to make efforts, and the ghost will come to test himself now? I'm in a hurry, I'm going to give you an English policy, see what you say! Yiyi was ruthless for a while, and after a long addiction, she finally calmed down and faced the reality.

Colleagues went to the yamen to work, and the entourage was all in the official office of Honglu Temple, and a group of subordinate officials, scholars, and entourages were all big men. Yiyi brought the two girls with a flower-like breeze and a sweet fragrance of flowers, so it was naturally inconvenient to stay with them, so she took them with her.

This will take the two of them calmly and go to the Yamen Shuling Shi to register the attaché. Yiyi reported a "pen and ink" secretary assistant, a "clothes" scholar to do chores, and an "accompanied" sedan chair groom. Compared with the standard of six people, Yiyi only reported half of it, and Shu Lingshi just wanted to follow Xu Shaoqing's instructions, and it was not easy to open his mouth if he made it difficult.

"Lord Li was not allowed to go to my house yesterday, and I didn't have any preparations in the government today, so my little meaning is not respectful." Yiyi handed over a box of spices, and the foreign spices of this era depended on imports, and Xun had not yet been able to start planting.

The value of spices is recorded in the historical materials as "the price is better than gold", even in the homes of the gentry and wealthy is a rare luxury, which is also the place where the group had an accident yesterday.

According to the banquet held yesterday, it is extremely capable of blending fragrance, and the materials are wide and accurate, which is unique in the current Xun country.

Relying on the precipitation of more than 1,000 years, the combination of ingredients and spices to conquer the stomach of the ancients, how can it not be successful.

Master Li hurriedly took it, he was not more expensive than those princes and grandsons, this box of spices was half a tael, which cost money to buy, but it was enough for him to feel distressed for a while.

It's just that this Lin Mingzan little girl is not like You Shaoqing thought, she will tremble and be at a loss in the ya, and she looks at people who are very generous.

All kinds of rumors and predictions about the first successor of Honglu Siqing, Lord Zuo Shaoqing, who fell into a coma in the water, are spread in the official office.

This book made Shi Li Guanyun in his fifties, a man in his forties, and no one in the court was mediocre. It was all because he knew how to drill the camp to get this errand, and he could see the eyes of Shangfeng before he successfully passed the assessment of the Ministry of Officials again and again. He admired the ability of Xu Yuan of Right Shaoqing, and when he visited Zuo Shaoqing, the smiling tiger excused him not to go to Lin's house as soon as he signaled it.

Lord Xu privately discussed with his supporters: "A hillbilly who didn't even know where the yamen was going to open actually sat in Zuo Shaoqing's position, and he was lucky for a while." Now he has smashed his errand, and he has escaped punishment even if he is injured. ”
