Lin Jue entered the Ouchi Palace under the leadership of the officials of the Ministry of Officials and went to report to the public house where he served. Although this official position has the name of Chongzheng Palace, the public house is not in the Chongzheng Palace. Although it is affiliated with Hallym Academy, the public house is not in Hallym Academy. The office is located in a corner of the square between Chongzheng Hall and Gyeongbokgjeon Hall, and it is just a few low-rise buildings.

When they arrived at the place where the house was, the officials accompanying them only pointed to the low houses, and then turned and left. Lin Jue had to walk slowly to the small courtyard in the corner alone.

The courtyard door was empty, Lin Jue pushed open the door and looked around for a moment, and under the shade of a tree in the corner of the courtyard, he saw a handyman in short clothes sleeping on a piece of bluestone. Lin Jue didn't alarm him, and walked straight to a small hall in the middle, which looked like an office place.

Lin Jue entered the small hall, where there were several tables, and the walls were full of books. Behind the bookcase, the two old men were leaning their heads back in their chairs, their gray heads dozing off little by little. There was a living man under the window in the corner of the hall, a young man in a crumpled official uniform, who was teasing a black starling hanging under the window.

When the young official saw Lin Jue coming in, he straightened up and looked at Lin Jue in surprise. Lin Jue hurriedly put down the green official robes, official hats, official boots and other things he was holding in his hand, and bowed and said, "Excuse me, this is ......"

"You are Lin Juelin's champion. No, no, no, it's time to call Lord Lin. The young man's face welled up with a smile. He stepped forward and bowed.

Lin Jue smiled: "How does this adult know that it's me?" ”

"Of course I know, we were notified yesterday that the new champion is coming to serve in us, hehe, we have one more colleague here. Welcome, welcome, welcome. I, Yang Xiu, am also the official position of storyteller in Chongzheng Palace. The young man laughed.

Lin Jue arched his hand and said, "It turned out to be Lord Yang." Look up for a long time. ”

"Hey, you're welcome, call me Yang Xiu. We're here, there's no grown-up. They are all colleagues. These two ...... One is Master Jiang and the other is Lord Hu. Yang Xiu pointed at the two old men who were still dozing off and said with a smile.

Lin Jue hurriedly said, "Which one is the adult in charge here?" ”

"Steward? It's okay. Master Jiang is older, and he contacts Shangguan on weekdays. We are all at the same level here, and everyone is a seven-grade sesame official, and they are all storytellers in the Chongzheng Palace. Yang Xiu said with a smile.

Lin Jue frowned, it turned out that the storyteller of the Chongzheng Palace actually had a total of four of them, could it be that he was still busy?

"Lord Lin, the hut next door is for your private use, you can change clothes and eat there. It was also there to sleep on duty at night. Please come with me and I'll take you. The official uniform is changed over there, and it is time to be on duty at this time, and you have to wear the official uniform. Yang Xiu greeted warmly.

Lin Jue thanked him, and followed Yang Xiu out of the small hall to a small room in the east, where the light was dim, and there was a bed and a table, and there was nothing else. Yang Xiu retreated, and Lin Jue slowly changed into his official robe. The official robe was obviously not custom-made according to the figure, it was big and fat, and it was uncomfortable to wrinkle and crump on the body. What made Lin Jue even more unhappy was that the color of the seven-grade official uniform was actually green, and it was as ugly as a big grasshopper when he put it on. Fortunately, the official hat is a black wing crown, otherwise Lin Jue would never have worn it.

After tidying up for a long time, Lin Jue mustered up the courage to come out and return to the small hall. There was already a sound of talking in the hall, and the two old colleagues who were dozing off had already woken up. It should have been Yang Xiu who woke them up.

"Ah, the new Lord Lin is it? Ho, this new official robe is in good spirits. Tsk, it's better to be young, and you look good in anything. Look at the official robe we are wearing, the whole thing looks like a green worm. "The one who is slightly chubby is Master Jiang, and there are still a few drops of shiny saliva hanging on his gray beard at the moment, which should have flowed to his beard when he dozed off. At this moment, he was full of smiles and smiled.

"Green bugs, green bugs." The starling in the cage under the window screamed.

"It's a delicious thief, as soon as I heard that there were insects, I opened my mouth, and Ming'er scalded it with boiling water and took you to cook soup and drink." Master Jiang turned his head and scolded.

"Old immortal." Starling scolded.

"Hey, you flat-haired brute." Master Jiang reached out and grabbed a book and was about to smash it.

Yang Xiu hurriedly stopped and smiled: "Lord Jiang, why bother with a bird?" The champion of the forest salutes you. ”

"Oh oh, it's polite." Only then did Master Jiang put down the book and returned the salute.

Lin Jue bowed to the other Lord Hu again, and then sat down one after another. The handyman outside was also called in to make Lin Jue a cup of tea. The tea leaves were thick and black, and the edges of the tea cup were full of dirt, Lin Jue dared to swallow there, thinking that he would have to bring a set of tea sets when he turned around.

The two old men seemed to be very interested in Lin Jue, and their two pairs of eyes kept staring at Lin Jue. Lin Jue was embarrassed by them.

"Lin Zhuangyuan, do you really want to serve here?" Master Jiang craned his neck and laughed in a low voice.

Lin Jue said with a smile: "Of course, the imperial court has given the Chongzheng Palace the position of storyteller, isn't it here to be on duty?" ”

"Tut-tut!" Master Jiang and Master Hu shook their heads together.

"A few adults will have to take care of me in the future. I don't understand anything. Lin Jue said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, everyone is doing things here, so naturally they help each other. That one...... Lin Zhuangyuan...... You've offended someone, right? Master Jiang suddenly asked in a low voice without a head, and the second monk Lin Juezhang who asked was confused.

"Why did Master Jiang ask that? Who can I offend? Lin Jue said with a smile.

Master Jiang shook his head and smiled: "Ask, just ask." We wonder how you, a new champion, were assigned to us? If you don't offend someone, how can this be? ”

Lin Jue frowned and said, "Isn't it good here?" ”

Master Jiang turned his head to look at Master Hu, and the two old guys laughed.

"You can't say it's bad, how can you say it? If you look at our public house, our furnishings here, and the clothes on our few of us will know if it's good or not. This public house, rain leaks, snow falls. A strong wind blows outside, and a light wind blows inside. You have to be careful with these tables and chairs, they will collapse if they are too strong. Also, you have to wear your new official uniform carefully, and it will take three years to change it. All year round, I point to this set. If it's broken, you'll have to carry it yourself. And what else...... We only have seven grades, and we don't have any carbon salaries, car and horse money, and red envelopes at the end of the year. So when it's time for the month, don't compare with others. Other than that, there's nothing bad about us here. Master Jiang laughed.

Lin Jue frowned and looked around, Shi Cai didn't take a closer look, only to find out at this moment that the situation here was really bad. There were a few cracks in the roof where the sun was letting in the sun, and there were indeed a few seats with half broken legs and legs, which were simply tied up with ropes. The tables, chairs, benches, and furnishings in the room are all black and covered with a layer of mold, which has obviously not been replaced for many years. The clothes on the three adults in front of him were also crumpled and black, and there was obviously a big patch under the ribs of Lord Hu's official uniform.

"This ...... How so? Didn't you say that the official position of our Chongzheng Palace storyteller is to accompany the emperor to study? Why is it so shabby? It's okay if the public house is dilapidated, but if the clothes are not neat, how can you face the saint? Isn't that disrespectful? Lin Jue frowned.

"Hehehe, face saint? Lin Zhuangyuan, you think a lot. Old. Hu, do you remember the last time we were invited to study with the Holy One? Master Jiang laughed.

"It's been almost a year." Master Hu smacked his lips and said.

"What's almost a year? Is it one year, three months, and twenty-two days? I've got a record of that. We haven't been summoned by the emperor for a year and three months. The three of us have lice on our bodies every day. Hey, Lin Zhuangyuan, it's okay for us people to mess around here, how did you get sent here as a dignified champion? It's really not worth it for you. Master Jiang shook his head and sighed.

Lin Jue's heart sank slightly, it seemed that the situation here was even worse than he imagined.

"Doesn't the emperor study? Didn't you say that when the emperor was studying, he asked us to be on call to answer the call? Lin Juewu didn't think he could be trusted. How could it be that as a storyteller, he couldn't see the emperor for more than a year.

"Of course the emperor reads, but the errand of accompanying the emperor to study is now covered by the attendants and scholars of the Hanlin Academy. Who wouldn't rush to see the emperor? The bachelors and scholars are our officials. Leave us on all our errands. People say well: what are you dissatisfied with after doing the errand for you? I didn't let you get some of the money as a reward, so it was cheaper for you. Hehe, that's what we're not happy about? Master Jiang laughed, and there was a bit of helplessness and bitterness in his laughter.

"Lin Zhuangyuan, you really shouldn't have come here. We are like a remote place of exile, no one thinks of us, and no one cares about us. It's like a pool of stagnant water, without any waves. The wind and rain outside, the sun and the rain have nothing to do with us. And when you come in, you basically can't get out for the rest of your life. Consumed alive here. Don't you believe it, do you know how many years Master Jiang and I have been here? Mr. Jiang has been here for 22 years, and I have been here for 18 years. For so many years, Master Jiang and I are still minor officials of the seventh grade sesame, and we have not had the slightest chance of promotion or transfer. Lord Lin, when you see us two old guys, you will know you in Chinese New Year's Eve twenty years. It's a quagmire, step into it and sink into it, never want to get out. Master Hu said with a wry smile on his face and a desolate voice.

Lin Jue's heart was sinking. He didn't expect the situation here to be so bad. It may be appropriate to escape the wind and rain outside, but it seems that it is difficult to get out. There is no chance of promotion in a lifetime, and there is nothing to do here every day, so what is the use of this official? It seems that he has really been calculated. Such a place, such an official position, someone should have deliberately chosen for himself.
