The drawings were given, the principle was explained, Zheng Peng also pondered by themselves, there was no movement on the side of the teaching workshop, Zheng Peng was ready to go home first to change his clothes and go to the left teaching workshop to show his face.

When you come to Shang'an, finding opportunities to take up positions is your goal, and as for making money to help make up for your life, it is secondary.

It is the price of braised meat that has fallen again and again, in addition to the continuous expansion of the scale, a year can also be divided into two or three thousand dividends, plus there are granges and shops in Guixiang, even if you don't do it, you can have no worries about food and clothing.

As soon as he got home and changed his clothes, he was about to go out, when Ah Shou trotted in and said that Father-in-law Qian from Zuojiaofang was already waiting outside the door.

"Coming? Quick, open the door, I'll meet you. Zheng Peng put on his shoes and walked out the door.

As soon as he walked out of the door, Zheng Peng suddenly stopped, and Ah Shou, who was following behind, almost hit Zheng Peng if he hadn't stopped his feet in time.

"Young Master, what's wrong?" Ah Shou asked in surprise.

"It's okay, Ah Shou, you go and invite Father-in-law Qian and Ding Heng in, be polite, just say that Young Master Ben is changing clothes."

Although Father-in-law Qian found an official position for himself, but these eight products are a false position, and he also hinted that all the money was handed over to him, Father-in-law Qian took the initiative to come to the door this time, and Zheng Peng only remembered that he was a "great talent" when he left the room, and he had the spirit and pride of a scholar.

A eunuch came to the door, and he ran outside the door to greet him, and if he spread it, the reputation he had accumulated with great difficulty would be ruined, and even Father-in-law Qian himself would look down on him from the heart.

Sometimes, the shelf is still needed.

Comrade Li Bai did a good job, taking advantage of a little drunkenness, let Gao Lishi take off his boots for him, you must know that Gao Lishi was a eunuch who was deeply favored by Xuanzong at that time, that is, the prince also called him a "brother", at that time Xuanzong did not criticize Li Bai's requirements, as a eunuch Gao Lishi had to take off his boots for Li Bai, this matter spread, and the scholars praised Li Bai, saying that he was not afraid of power and teased Gao Lishi.

No one said how wrong it was for Li Bai to take off his boots in front of the emperor.

Of course, these are all afterthoughts, but it shows the mentality and arrogance of the reader.

Father-in-law Qian and Ding Heng arrived in the hall, and Zheng Peng hurriedly walked out from behind the screen, and said as he walked: "I don't know that Father-in-law Qian is here, and I am not welcomed." ”

"Zheng Gongzi is polite, the miscellaneous family came uninvited, and it was right to disturb Zheng Gongzi's Qing Xiu." Father-in-law Qian said with a smile.

The teaching workshop can be said to be a Qingshui Yamen, with no real power, Father-in-law Qian is a five-grade teaching workshop, but his status is not high, and his mentality is very correct, he came in and saw Zheng Peng change into a new set of clothes to welcome him, not only did he not blame Zheng Peng for not coming to the door to greet him, but he felt respected.

"Where, the door of a certain is open for my father-in-law at any time, and my father-in-law is proficient in music and rhythm, and he has always wanted to find an opportunity to ask his father-in-law for advice."

This sentence Zheng Peng is not a sycophant, as a teacher, they are all masters who are proficient in music and rhythm, and other things can be fooled, and it is difficult to cheat in music and rhythm, especially Li Longji has a talent that is different from ordinary people in music and rhythm.

Father-in-law Qian smiled, not modest, glanced at Zheng Peng, and asked casually: "I haven't seen Gongzi Qian for a few days, I don't know what I've been busy with recently?" ”

Haven't joined the company yet, so check the post so quickly?

Zheng Peng said without changing his face: "The left teaching workshop is about to compete with the inner teaching workshop and the right teaching workshop, as a member of the left teaching workshop, a certain nature can not relax, these days have been conceiving new songs, ready to bring the emperor a refreshing feeling, by the way, just went outside to look around, collecting wind to find some inspiration." ”

Father-in-law Qian said with some emotion when he heard this: "Gongzi Qian really believes in people, I heard that Gongzi has been closed for three days, so I came to visit." ”

"If you have a worried father-in-law, please take a seat."

"Don't worry" Father-in-law Qian said with a smile: "The first time I came to the door, I can't be empty-handed, I just have good news today, it can be regarded as borrowing flowers to worship the Buddha." ”

Good news?

Just when Zheng Peng was a little surprised, Ding Heng, who was following behind, turned around and went out, and soon, I saw him come in with a tray in both hands, and then gently put the tray in front of Zheng Peng.

The tray is padded with a red cloth, which looks very grand, with a set of dark cyan official uniforms on it, and a token, Zheng Peng took it, and felt heavy, it should be made of iron, the front is the word of the teaching workshop, there is the text of Lezheng on the back, and his name is engraved below.

The official uniforms of different grades of Datang have different colors, and the third rank and above are purple; Four products, deep crimson; Five-pin, shallow crimson; Six-pin, dark green; Seven pins, light green; Eight pins, dark blue; Nine pins, light green, this set of dark green official uniforms is the symbol of the eight-grade official.

The official uniform and token are a symbol of status, and Father-in-law Qian personally sent them, in addition to confirming Zheng Peng's identity, there is also the meaning of attaching importance to and corporal Lixian.

Ding Heng explained on the side: "Zheng Gongzi, this is the father-in-law who personally went to the Ministry of Officials to handle it, and personally went to the Ministry of Officials to get back the official uniform and tokens, Zheng Gongzi is the first person in the Zuojiaofang, it can be seen that the father-in-law attaches great importance to Zheng Gongzi." ”

"There is Lao Gonggong, in fact, this kind of trivial matter, just a trip, how dare you drive?" Zheng Peng said with some embarrassment.

"Zheng Gongzi" Ding Heng reminded in a low voice: "At least officials above the seventh grade must report to the ministry, and the rest will be sent by the ministry to the corresponding yamen." ”

That's right, there are so many petty officials in the government, and they all go to the ministry to report on their work, and it is estimated that those big men in the ministry don't need to take vacations.

Zheng Peng was a little embarrassed, a petty official under the eighth grade still wanted to go to the ministry, he really thought too much, coughed dryly, and beckoned the two to sit down and drink tea and eat pastries.

The three of them said a few words of gossip, and Father-in-law Qian took the initiative to enter the theme and said: "The competition is coming, this is a rare opportunity to perform, but the show that can be performed so far, the miscellaneous family has no bottom in their hearts, let the people below think of more ways, Zheng Lezheng, please be careful about this matter." ”

"Certainly" Zheng Peng said confidently: "Father-in-law Qian, don't worry, I already have some clues, and I will definitely give you a surprise in the near future." ”

"Haha, then there is Lao Zheng Gongzi." After Father-in-law Qian finished speaking, he glanced at Ding Heng on the side.

Ding Heng immediately understood, and asked: "Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, it is difficult for the musicians to rehearse with peace of mind, Zheng Gongzi, you said last time that there is a way to cool down, this matter is .....?"

No wonder so enthusiastic to come to the door, it turned out that there was still this purpose, and he took the initiative to put forward it, because he was afraid that he would be busy with his own affairs and forget what he had said.

Zheng Peng said confidently: "I have contacted someone, and I will hear back soon, Ding Men ordered you to wait for my good news." ”

"Okay, okay." Ding Heng said happily.

When the business was over, Gonggong Qian stood up and said: "Zheng Gongzi is so enthusiastic, the miscellaneous family expressed gratitude on behalf of the Zuo Jiaofang, from this moment on, Zheng Gongzi is the Le Zheng of the Zuo Jiaofang, and he should have celebrated well, but unfortunately the miscellaneous family still has official business at home, and he will have a few drinks another day." ”

"In such a hurry? I have to have a light meal. Zheng Peng said with some surprise.

It's in a hurry, and it's too fast, right?

Gonggong Qian pointed in the direction of the palace, and then said with a wry smile: "Okay, it's within one square, it's convenient to eat whenever you want, so be it." ”

"My father-in-law has something to do, and I won't keep it, so I'll invite the two of you to drink two more cups another day."

Obviously, Father-in-law Qian is still going to enter the palace, it is estimated that Li Longji asked him for questions, and Ding Heng, who had the intention of rubbing rice here, was a little disappointed, because he couldn't eat delicious braised pork, but he quickly became happy again.

Specially sent official uniforms and tokens, this is good news, there is no reason for people to go back empty-handed, Zheng Peng gave Ding Heng a large bag of braised meat, and Ding Heng was happy to immediately turn regret into surprise, and thanked him again and again.

Father-in-law Qian also received a large package of braised pork, plus a jar of good grandma wine.

Pretending to change clothes when greeting, he didn't go out to greet him, in order to maintain the spirit of a scholar, Zheng Peng didn't choose to give a red envelope, but replaced it with wine and meat.

Practical and generous.

"Congratulations to the young master, congratulations to the young master, now the young master is happy." As soon as the outsider left, Ah Fu immediately said with a smile.

"The young master is really powerful, he suddenly became an eight-rank official, and in the future, I will see if those workshop chiefs dare to be so arrogant." Ah Shou clenched his fists and said excitedly.

Ah Jun also said respectfully: "Congratulations to the young master on stepping into the official career, and I wish the young master to rise step by step." ”

An eight-rank official is very big for ordinary people, but in the eyes of Boling Cui's family, Ah Jun knows Zheng Peng's thoughts, and he wishes Zheng Peng to rise step by step.

Zheng Peng knew that to fight against Cui Yuan, an eight-rank petty official was useless, and he had to be constantly promoted and strong to have a chance.

Stepping into the official career is only the first step in the long march.

"Okay, you don't have to pat yourself on the back" Zheng Peng waved his hand: "Everyone will be rewarded, add a few more dishes tonight, and celebrate well." ”

As soon as the words fell, the scene was full of cheers.
