After being awarded the official position, Xia Yuan was invited by the clerk to the Yasi on the other side to receive his official uniform and official seal.

It's made of official-stamped copper, it's boxy, but it's too small, and it's hard to hold it in hand.

The official uniform consists of a black gauze hat, a leather belt, and a blue official robe with an unknown bird embroidered on the patches.

The sixth-grade official should be Egret.

Xia Yuan had some impression of this, but he couldn't recognize it at all. The legs were long and looked a bit like an ostrich.

However, after his observation, except for the official seal, which was made by unknown hands, the rest seemed to be new.

"Are these official uniforms and black gauze hats new?"

"Sir, look at what you said. How dare I give you the old one? These are all newly made in your likeness."

"oh"

Xia Yuan exclaimed, because of his experience with the Jinshi uniform last time, he thought everything in the Ming Dynasty was second-hand.

"Then why do you have to do it all? What if you need to change it?"

"If you want to change it, you can go to a tailor shop to make it according to the style of the official uniform, or you can make it at home."

"?"

Xia Yuan was stunned. He really didn't expect that the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty could be made by himself.

While he was stunned, the clerk took out a few more patches from the warehouse and put them in his arms, "Come on, sir, take these few patches of herons. If you make them at home, then wait for the clothes."

After it's done, you can just sew the patch on."

"Then if I want to find a ready-to-wear store, which one should I go to? Do you have any recommendations?"

"This is true. There is a weaving shop near the Xisi Archway. The ministers in Beijing all go there to order official robes. I heard that even the official robes of the elders are made there.

Take these patches with you when you go, and the weaving shop will help you sew them on when the time comes."

"Okay, thank you."

After thanking him, Xia Yuan held his official uniform and was about to leave. However, he was unexpectedly stopped by the clerk, "Sir, please stay."

"What else happened?"

"My lord, please wait a moment."

With that said, the clerk went to another side hall. After a while, he came out holding a bright red robe in his hand. The robe was folded neatly. When he walked to Xia Yuan

In front of him, he pursed his lips and said with a shy smile, "Sir, please condescend me and bend down to accept this unicorn uniform."

Granted?

Xia Yuan was a little confused, but he still bowed down to take the unicorn suit into his hand, and then curiously unfolded the unicorn suit. A dragon head with horns came into view, with various exquisite patterns embroidered around it.

The workmanship is exquisite and the fabric is of the highest quality.

If you don't look at Qilin's body, it feels like a dragon robe.

Holding this gift of clothing, Xia Yuan asked somewhat unconfidently: "Can I wear this kind of clothes with my status?"

Hearing this, the clerk pursed his lips and smiled twice, "If the sixth-rank officials next to you are definitely not able to wear it, even some fourth- and fifth-rank officials can't wear it, but you are the number one scholar at the top of the list, and the new Hanlin editor

, then I was gifted by the palace to give you this fifth-grade unicorn uniform. If you are an imperial editor, you will only have the gifted tiger uniform."

Xia Yuan looked at the robe in his hand again. Such a cool unicorn uniform was actually only a fifth-grade one?

"Sir, you have everything you need. As for the boots, you have to buy them yourself."

"Chao boots?"

Seeing Editor Xia's expression of confusion, the clerk didn't think anything of it. It was his first time as an official, so it was normal for him to be confused about what officials in the DPRK wore. Then he asked what kind of clothes he was wearing.

I told you about the shoes.

Chao boots are also called cloud-head shoes.

The kind of boots with upturned toes and rolled back to look like cirrus clouds.

All officials in the Ming Dynasty wore this.

He looked like a new kid when he came, and he added many new postures when he left.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Xia Yuan put on the unicorn suit given by the emperor, with the small seal ribbon around his waist, and walked out of the house on cloud-head shoes.

Today he is going to the Hanlin Academy to attend dianmao. It is considered to be his first day as an official in the Ming Dynasty. He is quite looking forward to it, and he does not know what kind of job he will get as a Hanlin editor.

The Hanlin Academy is not far from his home, but it is not close either. It is only four or five miles away. Logically speaking, now that he has an official status, he can ride in a sedan chair. After returning from the Ministry of Civil Affairs yesterday, Manager Wu in the mansion

Before going out, I hired a sedan for him first.

After Xia Yuan sat on it, he found that this thing was soft and swayed slowly and slowly. He was really not used to sitting on it.

If you have this time, it's better to walk and breathe in the fresh morning air.

After wandering all the way, Xia Yuan arrived at the Hanlin Academy in about twenty minutes.

The Hanlin Academy is not far from the Imperial City. It is a large complex of buildings, covering an area of ​​at least hundreds of acres. The walls are also very high. There are even sergeants guarding the entrance. No strangers are allowed to enter.

.

Although Xia Yuan was a stranger, as long as he took out the small official seal and showed it, it was better than any pass, and he was able to quickly enter this holy place for scholars in the Ming Dynasty.

Then he was led by a book clerk to a government hall. Before he entered, he heard a familiar accent shouting inside, and his tone was even more dissatisfied and angry.

"Wairui Te De! After all, I am the third flower of Jinke, so I just copy books?!"

"Tanhua? Ha. What a big name. Not to mention you are just a third-level scholar. Even if you are the number one scholar, you still have to copy. There is a shortage of everything in this Hanlin Academy, except for the Three-Tripod Armor like you. You go to the Editorial and Inspection Office

The attendant next to me took a look and saw that the number one scholar in Hongzhi's twelfth year was still in there, copying it."

The Hanlin bachelor who spoke picked up the tea cup on the desk and took a sip without raising his head. He lowered his eyelids and said slowly: "After entering the Hanlin Academy, you have to copy books for two years. This is called tempering. If you don't sharpen your temper first,

You have such a frizzy temper, how can you do anything important in the future?"

Li Tingxiang was suffocated by the rebuke, his face turned red and he murmured for a long time. He could only say "Wai Ri Te De" again, and then asked: "Then what book should I copy?"

The Hanlin scholar reached out to take out a book from the desk and threw it forward, "Copy this for half a year, so I can teach you what the golden mean is."

Li Tingxiang picked it up and took a look. There were two big words on the cover - "The Doctrine of the Mean".

As a scholar, as the most popular student in Jinke, and as a sixteen-year-old official, he felt insulted. He could recite the golden mean backwards, but he still needed to copy it?

Just as he was about to have an attack, he caught a glimpse of bright red robes out of the corner of his eye. He turned around and saw Xia Yuan walking in wearing a unicorn suit.

Li Tingchen immediately waved the Zhongyong in his hand and said with an indignation: "Brother Xia, did you see that he actually asked us to copy books, and the ones we copied were the four books of Zhongyong? This is simply ironic, no, this is an insult to us.

Knowledge!”

Before Xia Yuan could answer, the Hanlin scholar behind the desk spoke first: "But the new editor Xia?"

"It's the official."

"I'm just going to be appointed as a sixth-rank Hanlin minister. You and I are both in the sixth rank, so how can we talk about it? My surname is Liu. If Editor Xia doesn't mind, just call me Brother Liu."

With that said, the Hanlin Minister took out another official document from under the desk, stood up and said with a smile: "I would like to congratulate Editor Xia first. I sent someone a job yesterday, and Editor Xia will take up a post in Zhan Shifu later."

, Brother Yu is really envious of me. He has been able to take up the position of Zhan Shifu on the first day. Brother Xia Xian really has a limitless future."

"???"

Li Tingxiang, who was next to him, had already opened his eyes wide. He felt like he was suddenly hit by an arrow. This dog official said that even if the number one scholar came, he would have to copy books. As a result,

Damn Auntie!
