Chapter 238: Meeting Old Friends Again

After hesitating, Feng Zhenliao said again: "If the inspector is free tonight, I will ask the inspector to have a drink!" Wash the dust and catch the wind for the inspector. ”

Although Feng Yanliao's family is not well-off, he knows that he wants to have a good relationship with Fan Ning, and he is willing to give some money.

Seeing that he said it was very unnatural, Fan Ning guessed that he rarely invited people to drink, and it was estimated that the family was relatively poor, so Fan Ning smiled and said: "I received the intention of the treasurer, but today I just entered Beijing, and there are still many things to deal with, so I really don't have time, let's do it another day!" I'll invite the chef to tea another day. ”

"That'..... That's embarrassing. ”

"It's okay!"

Fan Ning took out a two-tael tea cake from his carry-on bag and handed it to Feng Xiaoliao, "This is the phoenix tea given to me by others, the first time we meet, a little heart, please accept it in the palm of the store!" ”

"Fengcha!"

Feng Zhenliao was suddenly surprised and delighted, he had heard of dragon tea and phoenix tea, it was the best tea enjoyed by the royal family, of course he was a small official who did not have the blessing to see, as for the mouth blessing, let alone think about it, not to mention the dragon and phoenix tea, even the Jingting tea that high-ranking officials often drink, he did not have the blessing to enjoy.

So Fan Ning gave him two taels of phoenix tea, he was pleasantly surprised, took it with trembling hands, sniffed it, and suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, and he praised it with an intoxicated face: "It is worthy of being the dragon and phoenix in the tea!" It's the first time I've seen it, thank you inspector for your kindness! Thank you! ”

"You're welcome, please take care of it in the future!"

"It should be! You're welcome! ”

Feng Xiaoliao didn't bother Fan Ning anymore, and left first.

At this time, a tea boy about eight or nine years old came in with a teapot and asked, "Do officials need tea?" ”

Fanning waved his hand, "I didn't bring a tea cup today, let's do it tomorrow!" ”

"That's good! I'll serve tea to the officials early tomorrow morning. ”

The tea boy left, and Fanning didn't want to stay in the official room any longer, so he simply went to the library to borrow books with the bronze medal for borrowing books.

The library is divided into three buildings, A, B and C, of which the C building is the scripture library, that is, all kinds of textbooks, and the books related to the imperial examination are in the C building, and the B building is the works of the hundred schools of thought, including the literary works of the past dynasties, as well as the law, music, calendar and other books.

The first floor is also called the poetry and calligraphy and painting building, which has the poetry of the Tang and Song dynasties, as well as the famous calligraphy and painting works, of course, it is a fake, the real work is generally not borrowed, but if the level is enough, you can also enjoy the real work of the famous calligraphy and painting in the special room.

The vast majority of students can only enter the second and third floors, and the officials above the seventh grade can enter the first building, although Fan Ning is only the eighth grade, but he can not only enter the poetry, calligraphy and painting building, but also has the highest level of the first plate, which means that he can enjoy the authentic works of famous calligraphy and painting in the first building.

Fanning went directly down to the third floor, the third floor is connected to the back door alone, and he can't enter the third floor in the building, but goes directly to the fourth floor from the second floor.

However, Fanning didn't know that there was actually a small door that could directly enter Building A from the third floor.

He came out the back door and went around to the front front entrance.

As soon as I arrived outside the gate, I heard a familiar voice from inside, which seemed to be arguing with the management inside.

"We are Tongzi Kejinshi, why should we be treated the same as ordinary students, why can't we enter the first building?"

Fan Ning was immediately overjoyed, this guy had already entered Taixue, he walked into the door quickly, inside was a very wide entrance, and there were long shoe cabinets on both sides, and he wanted to change into soft shoes when he went in.

There is a small door in the middle, from the small door into the library of the first building, at this time the small door is blocked by seven or eight teenagers, all wearing the green clothes of the students, wearing square hats, they are arguing with a librarian, the leader is Su Liang, who entered Beijing in advance.

Fan Ning probably recognized these seven or eight teenagers, all of whom were Tongzi Kejinshi, and it seemed that they wanted to enter Building A, but they were not qualified to enter.

Fanning stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?" ”

As soon as the boys turned around, they immediately recognized Fan Ning and surrounded them one after another, Su Liang was even more excited, and hurriedly said to Fan Ning: "When we reported to work, we told us that we could go to Building A to borrow books, but now we are not allowed to enter, which is really infuriating." ”

Fanning waved his hand, "Don't worry, everyone, I'll help you ask!" ”

Fan Ning stepped forward and showed his first card, and the administrator was suddenly startled, only officials above the fifth grade have a first card, how could this young man have it? He was a little confused for a moment.

Fan Ning said again: "I am the newly appointed Guozi Superintendent, I want to ask if they are qualified to enter the first building?" ”

Fanning gestured to a group of boys behind him.

The administrator immediately understood, and it was estimated that the youngest official in front of him was the youngest official that everyone was talking about two days ago, and he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "It stands to reason that they can go in, but they don't have a book card, so they can't be allowed to go in for the time being." ”

Fanning turned around and asked, "Have you handled the library card?" ”

"Not yet! Said that it was these two days, but there was no notice yet. ”

Fanning said to the administrator again: "I can guarantee that they are all Tongzi Kejinshi, can I let them in?" ”

The administrator thought for a while and said, "Either we can only go in and read books, and there must be a library card to borrow books, and everyone has a number, otherwise we can't operate it." ”

Fanning also thought that the administrator had a point, so he said to a group of scholars: "Let's go read the book first!" Wait until you have a library card to borrow a book. ”

Everyone was overjoyed and entered the library one after another, but Su Liang stayed, and said with envy on his face: "You actually became an inspector, you can take care of us in the future." ”

Fanning patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "I, like you, am also here to study, and the inspector is just a name." ”

"Again, how can there be a thirteen-year-old inspector? That's not right! Didn't you serve as a secretary to the provincial orthography? Why did you come to Guozijian? ”

Fanning has three black lines on his forehead, this kid doesn't understand anything!

He shook his head and said, "It's not as simple as you think, let's go!" I'll take you to dinner. ”

"Good! You accompany me back to the dormitory first, and I'll put the book away and leave. ”

Fan Ning nodded, and accompanied Su Liang to the dormitory, Su Liang introduced all the way: "The imperial court is really good to us, not only is the room and board money free, but also a subsidy of five yuan a month, and there are ten pieces of cloth a year, fifteen taels of cotton, which makes those students envious to death." ”

"This is to give you half of the monthly salary of the alternate official, if you pass the examination after three years, then you will become a real alternate official, and the monthly salary will be doubled, and there will be various subsidies."

After three years of study and investigation, Tong Zi Ke Jinshi has the official position of Jiupin, becomes an alternate official, and generally serves as the county lieutenant, the chief bookkeeper, the state capital secretary or the shogunate official, etc., and then when he becomes a Beijing official, it depends on their own creation.

"I'm very satisfied now, at least I don't need my family to afford my study money, five guan money, in our Wu County is also considered a middle income, not to mention no money for food and lodging, no money for clothing, we calculate it is equivalent to eight yuan a month."

The two walked quickly to the dormitory area, Su Liang pointed to the long row of houses in front and said: "That's our dormitory, three people in a courtyard, but each person has their own independent room, the room is very long, and the seat screen can be separated into two." ”

Fanning smiled, "That's not bad!" ”

"Fanning, why don't you come and stay too! There are young teaching assistants who also live in Taixue for free, with a single courtyard and three rooms, and the conditions are very good. ”

Fanning shook his head, "Go ahead!" I'm waiting for you here. ”

........

There are five or six restaurants opposite the gate of Taixue, almost all of them are branches of famous restaurants in Taixue, Fan Ning and Su Liang entered the Zhu Building, found a seat on the second floor and sat down, Fan Ning ordered a pot of sake, asked for seven or eight hot dishes, and after a while, the bartender sent the hot wine over.

Fan Ning poured Su Liang a glass of wine and asked with a smile, "How are you talking about going to Yangzhou?" ”

Su Liang's eyes were gloomy, and he sighed: "It's not friendly when it comes to money, Yuanyuan's mother said that their family property is not much, and it is mainly reserved for the son, and the daughter can only give a small dowry appropriately." ”

Fan Ning sneered, "You have been admitted to the Tongzi Kejinshi, and a lot of powerful clans in the capital are rushing to marry you, and it is already good for their Cheng family to climb high, but they still say such things?" ”

"The key Yuanyuan also blamed me for being too snobbish, just thinking about her dowry, and when I left, she didn't come to see me off."

Su Liang was in a bad mood and drank all the wine in the cup.

Fanning groaned, lowered his voice and asked, "Tell me the truth, do you have that kind of bed-first relationship with her?" ”

Su Liang shook his head, "I kissed her and touched her, but it was still through the clothes, and the rest was gone." ”

Fan Ning suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "Then it doesn't matter, I tell you, the dowry of 50,000 yuan can't be loosened, it's related to your future." ”

"I don't quite understand what you mean, how much does this dowry have to do with the future?"

Fanning smiled, "I'll tell you some basic rules of official positions first, so that you don't have to be foolish to do foolish things, like you are now from the same jinshi, you can only say that you have the qualifications to be an official, and if you want to be an official, you have to wait three to five years.

If you pass the examination after three years, then you can get the rank of nine-rank official, and then arrange the official position, but even if you get the official position, you are only an alternate officer, if you have a background background, you will become a county lieutenant and the chief bookkeeper, and if you have no background background, you will be a judge of the festival, or you will go to the state school to become a professor.

Alternate officers generally do not get promoted, and some people have been doing it all their lives, like our academic politician Zhao Xiuwen, who has been a professor in Pingjiang Mansion for almost 30 years, and is still an alternate officer from the ninth grade. ”

"Under what circumstances can I become a full-fledged official?"

"First, your political achievements are outstanding, this time the Pingjiang Mansion boys' examination is very good, I estimate that Zhao Xuezheng will soon be able to turn into a Beijing official, although the officialdom is corrupt, but the political performance is also very important.

The second is to look at your background backstage, whether there is anyone in your court.

If there is really no one in the court, but if you can afford the money, you can also have a chance, so I said that you must at least have money, otherwise you will have a fate with Feng Zhangku of the library. ”

Fan Ning told Su Liang about Feng Zhangku's experience again, and Su Liang bowed his head and was silent, obviously he was greatly affected in his heart.

After a while, he sighed, looked up at Fanning and said, "Give me another suggestion!" ”

Fan Ning picked up the wine glass and said slowly: "I can't persuade you much about this matter, but for the sake of my friends for many years, I will finally give you another suggestion, either insist on a dowry of 50,000 yuan, or don't want a penny." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Su Liang asked puzzled.

"What I mean is very simple, if Cheng Yuanyuan is willing to abandon everything to follow you, then I don't think you should let her down, if Cheng Yuanyuan herself doesn't have that strong affection for you, and everything is arranged by her mother, then I think you should consider it carefully."
