Mr. Gu also wrote a letter to the Hanlin Academy's review of Ji Yunfei. Han Xiufeng did not dare to delay for a moment, and hurried to the Beiban Hutong before construction. He Heng and Yang Juren were very moved and followed him together.

Before Ji Yunfei returned home, the yard was full of joy.

The three of them followed the servants of the Ji family into the "Huairen Bookstore". After sitting down and asking, they realized that there was indeed a happy event!

The palace examination of Renzi Enke has been released. The top scorer is Zhang Jing from Ningbo, Zhejiang, Yang Sisun from Changshu, Jiangsu, and Pan Zuyin from Wu County, Jiangsu. Including the first place in the imperial examination, Sun Qingxian, a candidate from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, who is ranked 46th in the palace examination, has once again won the first place.

The top scorer, Tanhua and the second scorer must be awarded the title of Hanlin Academy. The 108th second scorer and 128 new Jinshi will be held in a few days and will be selected as a Shujishi.

For officials who are in a state of iron, there will naturally be old people to enter. Shujishi, who has been studying in the Hanlin Academy for three years, has also ushered in the grand examination of the hall in the past few days: first-class and second-class people stay in the hall, and are awarded editors and reviews, and become real Hanlin officials; third-class people may study for three more years, or return to the Jinshi awaiting a vacancies.

Ji Yunfei has been conducting three years of review and has also been moved to the editorial process, from the previous seventh rank to the seventh rank. Although the grade is not high, at first glance, it seems that he is not even as high as Qian Junchen's official position, staying in the museum again means that he has truly entered the promotion channel within the Hanlin Academy. Even if he cannot be promoted to the top civilian position in the future, he can still be admitted to the inner court. It is a matter of time before he can take the lead in the examination. What's more, he has a noble status as a Hanlin official, although he is only a seventh rank, but he can interact with the governor and other officials in the border areas. The seventh rank magistrate can only take the lead, call him a low position, and participate in court.

This is the real future, and Qian Junchen is nothing in comparison.

He Heng was envious and murmured at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall: "The worst thing to do is to be the prefecture and county officials. If you are not careful, you will be demoted and retained. If you are demoted, you may even be called up. Even if you are demoted, you may even be promoted. Although Mr. Ji is more diligent, you don't have to worry about the career of the government. You will be transferred every three years and you will be just around the corner!"

Juren Yang agreed deeply: "In three years, you can move to the Zhanshi Mansion Zuozanshan or Youzanshan, and then Zuo and Youzhongyun. Within ten years, you can move to the Hanlin Academy's attendant or lecturer. If you study as Master Ji, you will have no regrets in this life!"

"Brother Junjie, isn't Mr. Ji relocating in the Hanlin Courtyard? Why do you still have to go to Zhan Shi Mansion in the future?" Han Xiufeng asked in confusion.

"Mr. Ji is now in the seventh rank, and he will be in the sixth rank again. The Hanlin Academy only has the official position of the sixth rank, and the editor is specially set up for the top scholar, so he can only go to the Zhanshi Mansion."

The selection of Shujishi and staying in the Hanlin official was a dream for every scholar. Although He Heng failed the exam, he was very familiar with these things. He also said: "The Zhanshifu was originally appointed to guide the prince of the East Palace. He was appointed as the secretary of the East Palace, and the officials of the three courts were also appointed. In the 51st year of Kangxi, the crown prince was abolished and the crown prince was terminated. In the 18th year of Qianlong, the imperial edict: The secretary of the Zhanshifu was not established, and the official position was not established. The Hanlin advancement was introduced, so he was left to prepare for the transfer of the ministers. Since then, the officials of the Zhanshifu specially prepared the transfer of the Hanlin Academy."

"Even if you go to Zhan Shi Mansion, you are still a Hanlin official?"

“This is nature.”

………

As we were chatting, footsteps came from outside.

As soon as the three of them stood up, Ji Yunfei pushed the door and smiled: "Zhixing, Junjie, when did you come?"

"Master Ji, fortunately we didn't invite him, otherwise we wouldn't know that you had moved to the editor. Such a big happy event, why didn't you send a message to us!"

"Yes, Mr. Ji, do you look down on us or don't treat us as fellow countrymen."

"Jun Jie, where did you go? How could I look down on you? How could I not regard you as a fellow countryman? Instead, I was busy examining the red and ink scrolls of Chinese-style candidates a few days ago. There were a lot of social engagements these days, and I was so busy that I didn't care about telling you."

The Hanlin Academy is about to disperse the museum, and so many Shuji scholars are about to go their separate ways, so his social engagements are indispensable.

Han Xiufeng congratulated him and quickly took out Mr. Gu's letter. Ji Yunfei was overjoyed and hurriedly opened it to read it. It was not until he finished reading it that he remembered to greet the three of them for tea.

"Mr. Gu is still working for the guild at such an old age. It really makes me ashamed!" Ji Yunfei put down his letter and sighed: "The group training is really difficult. Unexpectedly, after six or seven years of leaving home, the eight provinces' gangs turned against each other, and they were very likely to cover the sky. Mr. Gu was anxious. I was slight but couldn't help. I'm sorry for his support back then, and I was ashamed of my hometown!"

Why can the Eight Provinces be the leader of the enemy? After all, there is no one in the Chongqing Prefecture. If it is put on the Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, they will not dare to offend local gentry by taking advantage of ten courage from local officials.

Han Xiufeng could understand Ji Yunfei's mood at this moment and hurriedly said, "Master Ji, don't think so. As the saying goes, stay with the green mountains and you will not have to worry about burning firewood. With you and Mr. Gu, we will have hope in Chongqing Shilin."

He Heng reacted and said with a bitter face: "Yes, Mr. Ji, I don't blame you for this, I can only blame us for not being able to do my best. We should be ashamed only when we take the exam every time and fail every year."

Juren Yang also comforted him: "Master Ji, don't blame yourself. If it weren't for you, our Chongqing Shilin would be too proud of us."

On the day of great joy, Han Xiufeng didn't want to say this anymore, so he quickly changed the topic: "Master Ji, Mr. Gu must have told you in the letter that he set up a special banking bureau for the rebuilding of the guild hall, and it is estimated that he can raise 2,000 taels. The letter was written on February 16th, and maybe it has been almost done."

"Well, Mr. Gu said that." Ji Yunfei pointed to the letter he had just put down.

"In the first month, haven't I written letters to fellow foreign officials and fellow villagers who have stayed in the guild hall over the years? This month, there have been replies. More than a dozen fellow foreign officials and fellow villagers are concerned about the guild hall and are willing to donate generously, ranging from twenty taels to one hundred taels. Some are brought by someone, and some are transferred by ticket numbers. As of today, a total of 420 taels of donations have been received."

Han Xiufeng paused and continued: "Since the start of construction, we have spent more than 1,100 taels of purchase materials. Last year, we paid for the New Year's wine and meat, some wine and meat, and funded candidates to take the exam, and spent more than 300 taels, and there are less than 1,000 taels in the public account. If we rebuilt according to the sketch, the remaining money should be enough."

Although Ji Yunfei didn't go to the guild hall very much, he knew that there was no problem with the accounts of the guild hall and could see where the money was spent. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Zhixing, what's wrong with us when we do our business!"

"Yes, we don't know what kind of person you are." He Heng couldn't help laughing.
