After familiarizing himself with the inside and outside of the Hanlin Courtyard, and meeting with Shangguan, Jia Daoheng took the three of them to a room, pointed to a few tables in the corner and said, "This is where you work." ”

"Today is the first time you have been on duty, and I will not give you particularly heavy duties. These are the "Huizong Records" that have just been compiled, you can proofread and check it, mainly to see if there are any typos or sentences that do not make sense, and don't worry about the rest. ”

After finishing speaking, Jia Daoheng brought a bunch of manuscripts from the side, gave some to Gu Yunji and the three of them, and said: "That's it today, you guys should do things first." I'm working in the next room, so you can always ask me if there's anything you don't understand. ”

"Yes, thank you, Lord Jia."

After sending Jia Daoheng away, the three of them stopped talking nonsense, sat on their desks and began to proofread the manuscript.

As Jia Daoheng said, this job is indeed boring, Gu Yunji looked at the dense square words all morning, and his eyes were almost overwhelmed. Fortunately, it was soon noon, so he put aside what he was doing for the time being and went out for lunch.

When I came to the place to eat, many Hanlin officials were already waiting there, basically some newly appointed Shu Jishi, but I didn't see much of the original old officials.

Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan took a position and beckoned to Gu Yunxiao, who had just walked in the door: "Big brother, this way!" ”

Gu Yunxiao walked over with a smile and asked, "How is it?" How did it feel on your first day on the job? ”

Gu Yunji said: "Fortunately, official business is not difficult, but it is very boring." What about you? I haven't seen you all morning, what are you doing? Also proofreading manuscripts? ”

Gu Yunxiao shook his head: "No, we are Shu Jishi, and we still have a lot to learn before the official office." We listened to the teachings of Master Hanlin all morning, what are the edicts, how to draft edicts, and what are the rituals of the sutra and banquet...... And so on, it's a lot, and some of them will be busy in the future. ”

While he was talking, Guanglu Temple sent lunch.

Guanglu Temple is in charge of the imperial diet, in addition to the daily meals of the officials and the meals in various large-scale ceremonies. For example, in the palace examination of each imperial examination, the meals of candidates and officials of all sizes are prepared by Guanglu Temple.

The imperial court has a strict hierarchy, and the upper and lower levels cannot be exceeded, and the lunch given to the officials by Guanglu Temple is also configured according to the grade.

Among the new officials in Hanlin, Cheng Yan's diet is the best, with meat, vegetables and soup, and the dishes are very rich. Gu Yunji and Fang Zigui are second, with one less meat dish than him, but even if it is the second-level food for the Jiji, it is not bad, at least it is a combination of meat and vegetables, and the nutrition is balanced.

Looking at the fragrant meal in front of him, Gu Yunji's eyes suddenly lit up: "It looks pretty good, there is such a good food, and I don't know why Lord Jia and they have to go to great lengths to let the family deliver the food." ”

As he spoke, Gu Yunji couldn't wait to pick up a chopstick dish and put it in his mouth, but in the next moment, his expression froze.

It can't be said to be hard to eat, but it is really hard to swallow.

dish, cold; soup, lukewarm; The small fried meat is so powerful that people can't help but wonder whether this is meat or tree bark; Some dishes are too light, as if there are no other seasonings except salt; Some dishes are too salty again, so that people can only eat the flavor of the sauce, as if they have knocked over the soy sauce bottle.

Some dishes have all the tastes, but the seasoning ratio is wrong, as if a person's facial features are all misplaced, and there is nothing wrong with everything, and the mess is like a fight in people's mouths.

All in all, it was terrible, and there was no exception to the dish.

Gu Yunji took a lot of effort to swallow the food in his mouth, but he really didn't have the courage to take another bite, and when he looked up, Cheng Yan and the others were all frowning and suffering with a face, obviously unable to eat.

Someone couldn't help it, spit out the food in his mouth on the spot, and complained: "What the hell, it's so unpalatable!" A good piece of chicken, it's actually dry and firewood, and it doesn't taste at all, isn't it served after a long time? ”

"Probably about the same." The others picked up the meat and looked at it for a while, and shook their heads incessantly, "I heard that the food in Guanglu Temple is unpalatable, but I didn't expect it to be so unpalatable that I couldn't swallow it." ”

Some people are quite puzzled: "Why? This Guanglu Temple is also an official office of the imperial court, and he is in charge of the imperial diet, and he can't even do his own work, what does Guanglu Temple Qing do? ”

The person at the next table sighed and said, "This can't be all blamed on Guanglu Siqing, after all, he can't help it." The food in Guanglu Temple has been criticized for a long time, not a matter of one or two days, even if it is Guanglu Temple, what can he do? The power of one person is difficult to get rid of the old manoeuvres. ”

"Then the court doesn't care? A group of corpse vegetarian people should be dethroned! ”

"How? Guanglu Temple is in charge of the imperial diet, most of the court officials are from scientific research, at most they can only make some overall arrangements, is it possible to really go to stir-fry and cook? ”

This person was clearly organized, and instantly refuted the man who was speechless: "The specific soup, tea and rice naturally have to be handed over to the cooks to do, and most of the vacancies of these cooks have been filled by related households." ”

"Everyone knows that the food is unpalatable, and they know that the problem is the cook, but no one wants to touch them. After all, who knows which adult's distant relatives they are, or which of the chamberlains? If you deal with it rashly, I am afraid that not only will it have no effect, but it will offend the nobles and affect your future. Rather than that, it's better to get by, turn a blind eye and forget it. ”

Someone thought deeply of this, nodded and agreed: "Exactly. Not to mention the court officials, even the first emperors of the past dynasties could not do anything about this group of moths in Guanglu Temple. It is said that during the Xihe period, the former emperor Huizong once denounced Guanglu Temple for being perfunctory to the imperial diet and not dedicated. ”

"What about Guanglu Temple? Not only did he not feel ashamed, but he also retorted eloquently, what 'the imperial diet is related to His Majesty's dragon body, and if you are not careful, it will be a disaster.' Compared with taking risks to satisfy the appetite, it is better to take the golden mean, although the taste is more plain, but it is better than insurance, and it will not go wrong. 'I'm so angry that the emperor's face is blue, but I can't do anything with them. ”

The Shu Jishi next to him was secretly speechless when he heard this, and sighed: "Guanglu Temple's face is really thick, if it were me, even if I thought of these words, I wouldn't be able to say it confidently." ”

Someone ridiculed sarcastically: "If it weren't for their thick skin, they wouldn't have been scolded for so many years and continued to take kickbacks with peace of mind." You must know that the food in Guanglu Temple is notoriously unpalatable, and it has been ranked among the 'four unreliable in Beijing', and even before the prescription of the Tai Hospital, even the people have heard of it, which shows how unpalatable this meal is! ”

When everyone heard this, they shook their heads and laughed.

"What's so ridiculous?"

However, Jia Daoheng, who was passing by, heard this, but walked in with a black face: "The original words of the four unreliable words in the capital are 'Hanlin Academy Article', 'Arsenal Division Sword and Gun', as well as 'Guanglu Temple Tea Soup' and 'Tai Hospital Prescription', the first thing people scolded is us, can you still laugh?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces suddenly froze, and the laughter stopped abruptly.
