Chapter 126: The first step on the road to officialdom
Sure enough, when the list was released in Beijing, He Shen happened to be on the list, and he was ranked relatively high, so he easily got the status of a lifter.
After the results were out, He Shen specially visited the examiner and gave 10,000 taels of silver to drink, which can be regarded as a friendship.
According to the customs of officialdom, even if you recognize the master, you worship the master.
“…………”
He Shen passed the township test and obtained the news of his identity, which was transmitted to the Hefu as soon as possible, causing many masters and servants in the Hefu to have a lot of discussions.
The second uncle Chang Rong was even more stimulated, and suddenly became very concerned about his youngest son Dongming.
Since then, the hard days of Dongming's children are coming.
“…………”
"Cut, what's proud, it's just a township test, when, he takes a jinshi, that's really amazing!"
When Mrs. Hua heard this, she was very unimpressed, waved her hand, and smiled at the maids around her.
"Why should a top lord's house like He Mansion fight with those poor scholars?"
Mrs. Hua was full of pride and looked empty-eyed.
As everyone knows, with the passage of time, the death of the two generations of heads of the family, Niu Hulu Oroershan and Niu Hulu Changbao, the former top noble and wealthy family, has already become a dilapidated settlement.
“……………”
Suburban lodge.
At this moment, the suburban villa is festive!
On the side of He Shen, in order to celebrate that he had passed the township test and obtained the status of a lifter, he ordered every servant in the Zhuangzi to double the silver money this month.
In fact, when the imperial examination reaches the township examination, it is no longer a matter of blindly memorizing and passing......
Normal readers are sure of the eight-strand essay in the township examination, but the strategy and poetry are the moat of ordinary readers, not to mention, there are shady scenes in the scientific field...
“……………”
The news that He Shen was admitted to the identity of the person also reached the ears of Zong Yan, the head of the main line of Niu Hulu and who had deep interests with He Shen.
In the face of this branch disciple who has gradually taken off, Zong Yan's side also attaches great importance to it.
There is no way, as the world has been peaceful for a long time, the children of the Manchu Eight Qing Dynasty, especially the noble generals, have fallen too fast...
The descendants of the future generations are even worse than the other, all of them are things that can't be supported by mud on the wall...
Finally, there is a child of his own clan who performs well, although he is a branch child, but he is also surnamed Niu Hulu...
Therefore, Zong Yan has been slowly observing He Shen in secret, and is ready to promote him at the right time.
Of course, Zong Yan values it, but He Shen must also show his own value in order to get the conditions for cultivation!
Zong Yan's side sent He Shen to the household department through the relationship, and served as an ordinary seven-grade household head book, that is, a petty official who accounts for the accounts.
Don't look at the head of the Qipin household, decentralize to the locality, at least it is also the respect of a county, you can be a county order of the emperor, and have a fun!
What's more, the current He Shen is not yet sixteen years old, and the fifteen-year-old seven-rank official, who knows where he can go in the future...
is still the same sentence, in the era of the Qing Dynasty, among the banner people, among the Manchu banner people, and headed by the family of the nobles, there were still many ways for the Manchu nobles to enter the court.
As long as there is a meritorious name, even if it is just a meritorious name, for a powerful noble family, it is enough to stand up in the court and obtain a good official position.
He Shen also understands this truth, so he participated in the township test.
In the end, he became a lifter.
He Shen celebrated for three days and three nights, and after all this was dealt with, he said hello to Mrs. Hua in accordance with the etiquette system.
What made He Shen feel strange was that he actually saw his second uncle Chang Rong again in Hefu this time.
"I said second uncle, isn't it the office period of the Ministry of Rites officials, why are you working again!"
He Shen was really speechless.
Although the early dynasty and the great dynasty meeting, only civil and military officials above the fourth rank are eligible to participate...
You're not qualified from the fifth grade, but you can't always stilt your shift...
Although the Ministry of Rites is the Qingshui Yamen, and its power is also the smallest of the six departments, the Ministry of Rites is also one of the six departments, in charge of etiquette, sacrifices, tribute, diplomacy and other matters.
As long as you really want to do things, even if you are a quiet yamen, you can find a lot of things to do, and there are really a lot of things in the Ministry of Rites.
There are four divisions within the Ministry of Rites, such as the Department of Rites, the Department of Ancestral Hall, the Department of Catering, and the Department of Host and Guest.
These four divisions are in charge of rituals, ceremonies, systems, clothing, seals, expressions, orders, auspiciousness, laying, funerals, sacrifices, astronomy, omissions, national taboos, temple secrets, divination and other things, and in general, they are not very idle.
Second Uncle Chang Rong is a good guy, he doesn't perform actively in the yamen, and strives to get the recognition and appreciation of the officials, but he stilts from time to time...
Shangguan is very busy, his feet don't leave the ground, you dare to go home on stilts, do you think the master of the five grades is too small, or do you think you are very awesome?
“……………”
"Eldest nephew, are you here to visit the old lady?"
Chang Rong said with a smile on his face.
However, on Heshen's side, he didn't pick up the stubble of the second uncle Changrong at all, nodded, turned around and left, with an attitude of not wanting the second uncle Changrong to talk more.
"Hey, second uncle Chang Rong, second uncle Chang Rong, you are really a snob!
He Shen has known his second uncle Chang Rong for many years, so he naturally understands the character of his cheap uncle.
If it weren't for the profit, how could he be so enthusiastic and show such qualifications.
He Shen went straight to Jiale Hall, and the second uncle Chang Rong followed He Shen and came to Jiale Hall.
“…………”
To be honest, it would have been a good thing for He Shen to have taken the test for fame, but in the eyes of Mrs. Hua, it was not a good thing.
Sure enough, as soon as He Shen entered the door, he was unceremoniously and harshly reprimanded by Mrs. Hua.
"Shen'er, what are you thinking in your head, it's really embarrassing that a third-class light car lieutenant went to the household department to be a petty official who keeps accounts."
When He Shen heard this, he smiled indifferently, obviously a little accustomed to Mrs. Hua's way of speaking.
“…………”
He shook his head disappretently, and after bowing, he found a random chair to sit down, and replied with a smile.
"If the household department is still the book, when you hear the old lady belittle the household so much, you have to make a note in your heart."
"When the time comes, hehe..."
Mrs. Hua's side, when she heard this, she couldn't help but froze, her face was very ugly, but she didn't dare to say anything.
Hubu Shangshu is already an important minister of the imperial court, and if he is worried about it, even when Niu Hulu Oroershan is still there, he will have a big headache, let alone at this moment.
The reason in front of him was blocked by He Shen's words, and after hesitating for a moment, Mrs. Hua found a new reason.
I only heard that Mrs. Hua said: "No matter what, you shouldn't make the decision without permission, spend the resources of the clan, just to enter the household department..."
“………”
"Hehe, this matter was done by Uncle Zongyan, if the old lady has an opinion, just find Uncle Zongyan..."
He Shen replied unceremoniously!
Mrs. Hua was so angry that she couldn't say anything about her grandson and Shen, who were unreasonable, and then became unreasonable and entangled.
"I don't care about the old body, it's all your fault."
"You are above the court, serving as a petty official of the seventh grade, that is, the person who lost us and our family."
“…………”
"My old lady, your grandson and I want to get a serious high-ranking official, but is this possible?"
Facing the old lady Hua who was messing around, He Shen smiled bitterly.
At this moment, He Shen really didn't know if Mrs. Hua was really unclear or pretending to be confused.
The imperial court employs people and has its own rules and regulations, even if it is the illegitimate son of the emperor, you have to climb up step by step.
To tell the truth, it is not easy for a mere person to be a person, and as soon as he enters the officialdom, he can stay in the six departments of the capital and be a practical head of the household.
The "champions", "Bangyan", and "Tanhua" among the Jinshi are just six-grade officials, and there are also officials from the sixth-grade ranks.
He is just a lifter, as soon as he enters the officialdom, he has a seven-grade official position, what else do you want him to do...
“…………”
He Shen, on his side, smiled and continued to speak.
"The household department is in charge of the country's land, taxes, household registration, military quarters, salaries, food and salary, and financial revenue and expenditure, is such an important department also irrelevant in the eyes of the old lady?"
"Hmph, look at your tone, it seems that you can be in charge of the household department..."
“…………”
"Actually, you're just a miscellaneous and settling account!"
Mrs. Hua still had the same attitude, sneering disdainfully, and looked at He Shen's eyes full of contempt.
“…………”
"Everything you do, it's all the same, you always have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to walk step by step!"
Mrs. Hua's side is always messing around, and He Shen is too lazy to talk nonsense, just replied lightly.
“…………”
"Everything is difficult at the beginning, and only after entering the sixth department can it be possible to continue to go up, and the book of the household department can also be thought about..."
Without waiting for Mrs. Hua to make a move, He Shen continued.
"Otherwise, don't do anything, just stay in the house and think about it in your head, isn't that a pipe dream?"
“…………”
"You... You... You..., what a rebel..."
Hearing He Shen's strange words, Mrs. Hua was suddenly speechless.
On Heshen's side, just after dealing with Mrs. Hua, the second uncle Chang Rong jumped out again.
I only heard that the second uncle Chang Rong began to accuse.
"Shen'er, look at it... You watch... made the old lady so angry, you are really an unfilial rebel! ”
“…………”
"Hahaha, second uncle, you are filial, you are really filial, in order to be filial to the old lady, you often work and absent from work, I heard people say that the impression of the Ministry of Rites on you is very bad!"
He Shen was also not polite, and immediately revealed the old bottom of the second uncle Changrong.
“…………”
When the second uncle Chang Rong heard this, his face was instantly frightened and bloodless.
How is this possible, how can a big guy like Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites target a little master of the Ministry of Rites like him.
