Four hundred and sixtieth eight chapters take office (a)
Han Xiufeng was going to the Old Summer Palace to thank him, so he failed to catch up with Datou and Cuihua to worship the world. He couldn't say anything without any more. He pulled Datou to his side first and raised his glasses to thank all the fellow villagers and friends for taking the time to eat and like it. He did it first to toast one table after another.
Although I used a small cup, I couldn't stand many people, and I couldn't stand firm after a round of salutes. If it weren't for Huang Zhongyin and Ji Yunfei, I really wouldn't know how to deal with other people's responses.
The guests in the room were either court officials or candidates for civil and military officials who were candidates for Beijing. Almost all of them had married and had children. Some even had several concubines. They all knew that "the ** was worth a thousand gold at a moment." Moreover, they couldn't help but make trouble with Datou, who was not good at it. Whether Datou followed Han Xiufeng to greet them or they responded, they were all right and just tried it out.
Chen Hu and Ji Daji's second-class brothers from Lao Tai Yong Camp were not as easy to talk to as civil and military officials inside. They finally caught up with such a big happy event and naturally had to make a big head who toasted them so much that they were drunk.
Halfway through the banquet, they carried Datou into the bridal chamber. Cuihua was so angry that she took off her red veil, picked up a broom, chased him from the bridal chamber to the yard, and then chased him from the backyard to the front yard!
The bride chased and beat a bunch of Qiu Bas all over the yard, making a mess. What a moral?
Ren Yuer was so anxious that she didn't dare to chase after him like Cuihua chasing Chen Hu and the others. She was so anxious that she was in the backyard. The merchants' wife and daughters who came to help were also stunned and were helpless.
Han Xiufeng didn't expect that Cuihua, who was usually very obedient and sensible, would be so fierce, and she had no idea for a moment. Huang Zhongyin, Ji Yunfei, Wu Zhaoling and Li Pinsan, not only did he not feel unconventional, but he laughed so hard that he couldn't get angry. Some said, "It's not that the whole family doesn't come into the family, and some even praised Cuihua for being a "women are not as good as men", and she has the style of a female general in the Yang family in the play...
Fortunately, Cuihua chased after a while and realized that it was inappropriate, so she hurriedly threw down her broom and ran back with her face and amid the laughter of the crowd. It was precisely because of such a small episode that the fellow villagers and friends who came to congratulate her became more enthusiastic about drinking. You toast me, I toast you, chatting and laughing, and having a happy meal.
Han Xiufeng didn't know how many cups he drank, or even who helped him back to his room to rest. It was already noon the next day when he was woken up by Su Jueming. He felt so uncomfortable that his head hurt so much that it was about to explode.
"Second Master, I know you were drunk last night. I didn't dare to call you, but I was afraid of delaying the business."
Han Xiufeng sat up, rubbed his temples and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Director Zhang just came here, and he said that the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel have been completed, so you can go and get the deposit quickly."
“Is there any more?”
"Mr. Peng sent someone to send a letter, but the person who sent the letter did not leave. Mr. Ji was outside having tea with him." Su Jueming submitted a letter from Peng Yunzhang, Minister of Works.
Han Xiufeng took the letter and opened it while reading it, saying, "Has Datou woke up?"
"You woke up early. You know that he was drinking. You either didn't eat it, and you would get drunk as soon as you ate it. However, you would wake up quickly when you were drunk. Cuihua complained in the morning. If I hadn't stopped him, I would have to leave the city to deal with Chen Hu and the others."
"He is strong, who can get him? After all, he is still greedy," Han Xiufeng muttered and asked again: "What are he doing now?"
"Accompany Cuihua to the door and go to Mr. Ao's house. Today, Mr. Ao's house is holding a drink. If Mr. Peng hadn't sent someone to deliver the letter, Mr. Ji would have gone long ago."
"Oh, I remembered it." Han Xiufeng put down the letter and murmured: "Master Ao is just right. Not only do he recognize Cuihua as his sister, he also takes charge of Cuihua's marriage seriously. This favor is not too great!"
Thinking that Cuihua, a village girl, became the sister of Master Hanlin, Su Juoming secretly lamented that Cuihua turned into a phoenix. When she thought that the Ao family had already started, she hurriedly said, "Fourth Master, Master Ao knows that you were drunk last night, and you know that you were busy these two days. Early in the morning, people told me that you would go when you have time. If you can't pull away, you don't have to go to the banquet. They said that the two brothers and you have a long time to go with you, so there is no need to pay attention to those false rituals."
"I know." Although the headache was so bad, Han Xiufeng did not dare to delay the serious business. After all, the emperor said yesterday, asking not to delay in the capital, and asked him to take office quickly, put down the letter and turn over and get out of bed, pick up his official uniform and start wearing it.
While serving the clothes, Su Jueming asked curiously: "Second Master, what did Lord Peng say?"
"Mr. Peng recommended me someone, Cui Hao outside."
"What did Lord Peng recommend the surname Cui to you?"
"I guess Cui Hao is recommended to Mr. Peng's classmate and friend, and I want to ask Mr. Peng to help him with an errand. But he is just a scholar, so it's not easy to be an official, so he can only be a friend of the temple. Mr. Peng doesn't need him as a friend of the temple, so he sent him to find me."
"This is really difficult to deal with. You can't turn it out regardless of whether you have the ability or not."
Su Jueming felt that this was difficult, but Han Xiufeng was not surprised. He even dared to conclude that this was just the beginning. In the future, more Shangguan and fellow villagers would come, and they would have to take in no matter whether they have the ability or not. No one recommended it before, because the official position was too young, and there was no need to hire friends from the police.
Because of this, Han Xiufeng didn't want to say anything, but turned around and said, "Jueming, after the meal, I will go to the Ministry of Personnel to take office. I will go to Gu'an early tomorrow morning. You don't need to worry about other things in the afternoon. You just need to send me what you prepared for me before. Don't forget to bring my famous post with me. If you don't recognize the way, let Xiaoshandong go with you."
"Okay, I'll go later."
...
After washing, Han Xiufeng walked into the main hall and saw a scholar in his thirties standing up subconsciously.
"Brother Cui, this is Han Tongzhi. Zhixing. Brother Cui is the son of a friend of Lord Peng. If you talk, I should go to the banquet."
Before I came, my family told me that it is not easy to do an errand now. I can’t forget who I am just because I have some connection with Lord Peng. Cui Hao dared not neglect and hurriedly bowed and said, “Student Cui Hao greets Mr. Han!”
"It turns out it's Brother Cui, I'm so respectful." Han Xiufeng bowed and replied, then turned around and said, "Brother Bowen, I'll give you a gift."
"Jinfu's house is not far away. Is there anything to send? Stay there." Ji Yunfei smiled, bowed his hand and turned away.
Han Xiufeng and Cui Hao sent Ji Yunfei out of the guild hall, returned to the main hall, sat down and asked with a smile, "Brother Dezhong, are you from Suzhou?"
"I'm not afraid of Mr. Han's joke. My student's hometown is Suzhou, and I'm also considered a scholarly family. Unfortunately, my student is stupid and failed many tests. I don't want to waste my time in my hometown, so I come to the capital to try my luck."
“When did it come?”
"I came before the New Year. Lord Peng didn't plan to bother you, Mr. Han. I wanted the students to go to the Ministry of Works to help. The students felt that it was meaningless to be a clerk in the Ministry of Works, so they dared..."
It can be seen from the clothes that the person in front of him has a good family background. From the few words just now, it can be seen that the person in front of him does not want to study in his hometown of Suzhou or become a teacher, but wants to make achievements. It is indeed a bit aggrieved by Lord Peng to ask him to work as a clerk in the Works Department.
Han Xiufeng thought for a while, then asked with a smile: "Brother Dezhong, have you donated your official position?"
Cui Hao hurriedly said, "To be honest, the student donated it, donated the seventh grade."
"Have you ever gone to the Ministry of Personnel to submit a confession?"
"I've gone, but I don't know if I have to wait until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month to make up for the gap, so the students want to experience it first, so I'll ask Mr. Han to take it in."
"Brother Dezhong is recommended by Lord Peng, not an outsider. Why should I start with the inclusion? I will go to the Ministry of Personnel to obtain the position of Gu'an early tomorrow morning. Brother Dezhong, please go back and prepare quickly. It is best to bring your luggage to the guild hall, so that we can set off together tomorrow morning."
"Mr. Xie Han took it in."
"It's here again, the whole family won't say a few words." Han Xiufeng suddenly remembered something and said apologetically: "As for Shu Zhang, there are too many things today, and I really don't have time to talk to Brother Dezhong, why don't you talk to me later."
"It's okay. As long as you can serve under Mr. Han, you will be willing to work for Mr. Han even if you have one or two laziness without students. You are willing to work hard for Mr. Han."
After sending Cui Hao away, Wang Qianli actually walked out of it, looked at Han Xiufeng with a smile and said, "Fourth Master, this person just now seems not to be looking for money, but to be an official."
"Compared to seeking an official, I hope he will make money." Han Xiufeng sighed inwardly and couldn't help asking: "Qianli, what are your plans next?"
Wang Qianli smiled without thinking: "What can I do? I have already decided to go to the Ministry of Personnel to submit a confession first, and then go to you!"
"Travel to me?"
"Um."
"Don't miss home?"
"Since you come, you will be at ease. Since you have already come out, you have to stay for two years before going back. Otherwise, you will be laughed at by the people in Taizhou when you go back like this." Wang Qianli and Han Xiufeng have a life-long friendship, so naturally there is no need to go around in circles, and there is no need to be as uneasy as Cui Hao just left, and said bluntly: "Fourth Master, I brought 3,000 taels of money for this supply and how to make up for this shortage. You have to bother to help me get an idea."
He didn't treat himself as an outsider, and Han Xiufeng didn't treat him as an outsider. He pondered: "Let's go to the provincial museum together and find Director Zhang. Let him help with your affairs to see if you can distribute you to Zhili for trial. As long as you can distribute it to Zhili, you will always have a chance to find a lack of money."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, I'll go back to my room to get the silver notes."
"Why are you anxious? But it's okay to bring it with you," Han Xiufeng thought about it and said, "You are different from that Cui Hao. Not only do you have military achievements, but you are now the top-tier seventh grade is granted by the emperor. Don't bring too much, bringing one thousand taels is enough."
"I will take a thousand taels if I listen to you."
"By the way, where is Pan Er?"
