Just after lunch, a pen from the Ministry of Rites found the guild hall. As soon as he saw Han Xiufeng, he congratulated him. After Han Xiufeng asked Su Jueming to offer him fifty taels of silver, the pen was in the main topic to teach the etiquette and various precautions for tomorrow's audience.

This is the first time Han Xiufeng has met, but Huang Zhongyin and other fellow villagers have met. He really doesn’t need to teach these rules. But before the audience, you can learn the etiquette is the rule of the saint. This fifty taels of silver will have to be spent.

After finally sending the etiquette to the Ministry of Rites, he was asking Huang Zhongyin and other fellow villagers for advice on how to get the right report tomorrow, but Director Zhang actually returned and came to the door.

Han Xiufeng knew that Peng Yangchun and Yongxiang were waiting for the reply, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Zhang, you are really entrusted to be loyal to others!"

"It makes you laugh," Director Zhang bowed his hand and said embarrassedly: "No matter what happens in the provincial government over the years, as long as someone sends a message to Peng Yangchun, Peng Yangchun will come as soon as he receives the letter. Even if he can't come on duty, he will ask his family to send money. But he is just a military officer, his salary is not much, and he can't even earn money by printing. Life is tight, but his relationships are not at all. It's really not easy for him to put it in his heart."

"So it's rare for him to ask you once, you have to help you?" Ji Yunfei asked with a smile.

"Who asked you to recommend me to be the director? Since you have done it, you have to treat his business as your own."

"It's hard for you. You have to think of everything and take care of everything."

"It's not difficult, it's just to run errands and spread messages to you guys."

Director Zhang's words made Han Xiufeng think of the days when he was doing his first job here three years ago, and said with emotion: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, your business is mine. Besides, Yongxiang is quite reliable. You let him take office with confidence. After taking office, as long as I, Han Xiufeng, have a bite of food, Yongxiang will not be hungry. If you want to make achievements, it would be a different matter."

"This is naturally. If he, a military officer, doesn't sacrifice his life, how can he achieve success?"

"By the way, where did the Ronglu who came with him this morning come from?"

Before Director Zhang could speak, Wu Zhaoling pondered: "Is it the Changsheng son of the General General of Ganliang Town who died in the quelling of chaos?"

"That's right," Director Zhang hurriedly said: "Speaking of this, his family has a connection with Xiang Shuai and even the Old General Hu in the Pantheon. His grandfather Tasha died for his country during the rebellion of Zhang Geer. His father Changshou and his uncle Changrui died for his country during the encirclement and suppression of the bandits in Yong'an. They can be called a loyal student. Otherwise, he would not have been directly appointed as the head of the Ministry of Works with Yinsheng."

Han Xiufeng asked: "Then what is the relationship between Ronglu and Yongxiang?"

"If you want to talk about relationships, they are all Guarjia. However, Guarjia has many branches, including Suwan Guarjia, Antu Guarjia, Yehe Guarjia, Ulaguarjia, Fengcheng Guarjia, and Jinzhou Guarjia. Yongxiang and Ronglu are not the same branch. If they really talk about their origins, they would not even be close to Shengbao."

Director Zhang paused and continued, "Isn't he going to let him go? He has no money to deal with it, so he can only seek medical treatment in a hurry and ask for help everywhere. He is a high-ranking and powerful person, and naturally he can't see him. Even if he can see others, he may not help, so he can only ask for Ronglu. As for why Ronglu came with him, I guess Ronglu wanted to see you. After all, his father and his uncle fought with Xiang Shuai before their death in the country, and you and Xiang Shuai are fellow villagers."

"So that's it. I thought he and Ronglu were really relatives."

"A relative who is invincible." Ji Yunfei couldn't help laughing: "Zhixing, if you really talk about relatives, the Jing Hua you supported is still the surname Aisin Gioro, but what can you do with Aisin Gioro?"

"That's right, I almost forgot that this is the capital!"

...

Peng Yangchun and Yongxiang were listening to the letter at the provincial hall. Director Zhang didn't want them to wait for a long time. After chatting for a while, he bowed and left. Huang Zhongyin, Ji Yunfei, Wu Zhaoling and others continued to tell Han Xiufeng about the right story. Several Hanlin officials helped to think about it for the afternoon, and finally agreed that the truth was the best, so that Han Xiufeng would reply the same as when he met Peng Yunzhang a few days ago.

Han Xiufeng was so kind that he was about to get up to thank him. Ao Tongchen suddenly asked curiously: "Zhixing, how do you consider your pampering sister?"

"Yes, a lady from a family can't just follow you like this." Ji Yunfei also reminded kindly.

"I'm not afraid of a few jokes. I'm having a headache about this." Han Xiufeng put down the teacup and said helplessly: "His father died for his country. Her stepmother was pregnant and was far away in the town I was in the inspection. The countryside is not as good as the city, and there is not much attention. If I had a girl, I would probably remarry. If I had a boy, I might keep my father's integrity. In short, she is helpless now. How would I live alone if I don't care?"

Huang Zhongyin suddenly said: "It's up to you, but you have to think about how to manage it."

"So I want to ask you to help you pay attention. If there is a suitable young man, see if he can help him talk about the matchmaker. After she finishes her filial piety for her father, she will buy some dowry and marry her out in a grand manner."

"Marry?"

"What's wrong?"

"Do you really treat her as your pampered sister?" Ao Tongchen asked suspiciously.

"Really." Han Xiufeng said seriously and seriously: "I really treat her as my sister. Besides, the slutty girl will bring her baby to reunite with me immediately. How could I have those unreasonable thoughts?"

Ji Yunfei knew the character of Han Xiufeng the most, but he pondered: "Since that's the case, we will help you pay attention."

"Brother Bowen, my sister is not only handsome, but also a talented woman. She writes beautifully, has good writing, and is proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She can't just find someone to marry, but she has to marry a juren. It's better if she can marry a Jinshi."

"Zhixing, could she have written the letters you sent to us later?

"It was really her writing for me. Brother Bowen, I'm not lazy, but I really can't get any time. When I arrived in Taizhou, I was busy investigating anti-smuggling owls. I just found two groups of private owls and then I was busy editing the village heroes. You know what happened later. I was transferred frequently and tossed and tossed, but I was a mess."

"Being lazy means being lazy, don't make excuses!" Ji Yunfei laughed and cursed, thinking about it and laughed: "But the woman's handwriting is indeed well written, and she is indeed a bit literary. She is worthy of being a lady in Yangzhou. In addition, with you, a loyal brother, marrying a Jinshi is not a good match."

"If you have ten Jinshi and nine out of the list, you will have already started a family and a career. It is not that easy to find someone who has not yet married," Huang Zhongyin couldn't help but smile.

As Huang Zhongyin said, if it were the age, the new Jinshi Ao Cexian was just right, but Ao Cexian would have married a long time ago. Not to mention looking for a Jinshi who had not married yet, even a Juren of the same age and who had not married yet would not be so easy to find.

But it was just a small episode, and no one would really take it seriously. After chatting for a while, then stood up and went home one after another.

To meet the saint, Han Xiufeng must make some preparations.

After having lunch early, I went back to my room to take a shower.

He changed into clean clothes, lay on the bed and carefully recalled the precautions of the Ministry of Rites's letters, and thought about what the emperor would ask, but fell asleep unknowingly. He slept until the third day of the day, and was woken up by Su Jueming and Xiao Shandong who had been in the front hall for a night but did not dare to sleep. He got up to wash and eat, and then changed into the official uniforms that Ren Yuer and Cuihua helped iron them neatly last night. Before dawn, he took the carriage hired by Manager Wen to the Old Summer Palace.

Before dawn, I couldn't see the main palace gate clearly. Even if I could see clearly, I couldn't stop outside the main palace gate. I rushed to the left gate and sent the driver, Su Jueming and Xiao Shandong, who were accompanying me, were holding my resume to ask the guards and eunuchs guarding outside the gate. I walked out of the shadow with a pen.

"Second Master, you came so early. You are the first to arrive."

"Oh, who did I say it is? It turns out to be the Third Master, the Third Master is auspicious!"

"No, no, no, here is not as good as in the Ministry of Personnel. Have you eaten or not? I haven't eaten anything."

A few days ago, he turned around and pointed at the pen style he recognized when he went to the Ministry of Personnel to pay off the Ministry of War's investigation. He followed the direction of his finger. Han Xiufeng suddenly found that there was a row of snack stalls diagonally opposite. The stalls selling dumplings, noodles and porridge buns were not ordinary people, but were all eunuchs in the palace. He could even use the lanterns hanging on the stalls to vaguely see several elderly adults sitting on small stools under the wall eating noodles and drinking soup.

Han Xiufeng knew that the princes and ministers were all powerful, so he didn't dare to go forward and hurriedly said, "I've eaten it, I've eaten it before I come."

"Since you've eaten, wait." The pen style took out a green sign from the sleeve with the name of the official, the resume and the governor's tutor, and led Han Xiufeng to the base of the wall behind the leeward and smiled: "There are five people who will meet today, and the Lord Zhongtang personally led the shift. You are ranked third. By the way, there is a commander at the beginning and the end of the class. Including Lord Weng, you will be ranked fifth later, so you can't make a mistake."

Han Xiufeng hurriedly stuffed a silver note of eight taels: "Rank fifth, right? Xie Sanye gave me some."

"Don't be polite to me." Bi Tie skillfully put away the silver notes, looked at a eunuch who was guarding the palace gate and was holding here, and said in his ear: "Fourth Master, my father-in-law, you must not stop doing some things..."

The eunuch cannot be offended, otherwise he will try to make trouble for you and even falsely accused you of losing your etiquette. Han Xiufeng hurriedly said, "I understand the rules, I'll be ready."

"It's time to be ready, he'll come to find you later."

As he was talking, the palace gate creaked open. The princes and ministers who were squatting under the wall to eat noodles and drink soup stood up to pay the bill, handed over the sign and walked in. Han Xiufeng stood on tiptoe and looked for a while, and asked curiously: "Third Master, which master of the central hall will lead us to meet today?"

Bi Shi looked back and said lightly: "Bai Jing, Bai Zhongtang."

Han Xiufeng had never seen Bai Wei, but he had heard of it more than once, and thought that he would soon meet the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion and the Minister of Personnel, and even the Emperor. He was so nervous.
