Chapter 23: The Commandment
Out of Donghua Gate, Xu Ping looked at the bright sun in the sky and sneezed comfortably.
In this academy exam, Xu Ping felt that it should be good, and he had to have more than two flats, so as not to be too embarrassed. At this time, the academy examination was divided into excellent, slightly excellent, kan, slightly kan, flat, slightly lower, and second-lowest seven, and all three volumes of excellent and slightly superior talents were bound to be shocking to the world, and in fact, basically no one could get them. To be able to be all above the level, even if there is no one, it is already a good achievement. However, although the grades are clear now, the grading criteria are not transparent, and the edict cannot be guessed without guessing.
The people who stayed in the academy were his old friends of the same year, Xu Ping couldn't go first, so he found Gao Daquan, went to the side to find a teahouse, and slowly waited for others.
The prosperous area of Kaifeng Bianliang is called "Nanhebei City", the Nanhe River is naturally the Bianhe River, and the North City is the area outside the Donghua Gate. The Bianhe River mainly serves the common people, and here it mainly faces officials at all levels.
Xu Ping drank tea leisurely, and it was not until the red sun turned west that the others came out of the Donghua Gate.
These people are all low-level officials now, although Han Qi is considered to be the son of everyone, his family business has not yet flourished, and they all came on horseback, without servants.
Xu Ping greeted him out of the teahouse, and the four of them went to Fanlou nearby, found a quiet pavilion, and drank to celebrate.
As long as you don't get the test papers, you can generally pass the college exam, but it's just a matter of whether the grades are good or bad. When the four of them arrived in the restaurant, they never mentioned the hospital examination, but only talked about their respective situations in the past few years and talked about some gossip.
Look at the day is almost evening, because the evening is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is not good to delay, Xu Ping settled the account, and the four of them came out to say goodbye.
Riding a horse with Gao Daquan on the streets of Kaifeng City. Xu Ping felt that he had never felt more relaxed than before. After the college examination, it will be the day to go to work and get off work in the future, unless you take the path of the two systems of Hanlin Bachelor and Zhizhi, there will be no major exams in the future, and you can enjoy the life in this world with peace of mind, which is exactly what Xu Ping dreamed of.
Arrived at the Bianhe River. Xu Ping said to the tall man behind him: "Wait a few days, Uncle Li Shishu will come back from the northwest and ask him to find someone he knows, and you will also get an official body on your body and start a family." I will remember the credit of Yongzhou for you, our family is not as good as before, no one dares to take your credit, how can there be a little envoy to do it. ”
This is what has been said a long time ago, Gao Daquan said in a deep voice: "Thank you, official!" ”
Xu Ping was silent for a while. said to Gao Daquan: "If you think it's appropriate, go to the forbidden army." Over the years, I have often heard people say that something is going to happen to the party in the northwest, and Yuan Hao will rebel sooner or later, and he can also make some military merits when the time comes. ”
"Everything is under the orders of the officials!"
Xu Ping nodded and did not speak again. Yuan Hao will rebel sooner or later, Xu Ping knows that this is a sure thing with the memory of his previous life, in fact, some people in this dynasty have long seen this. Among them is Shi Yannian. Shi Yannian went from a small military attache who was deprived of his Jinshi background to a bachelor's degree in exchange for a scholar. He doesn't have any big backers, and of course he is not a mediocre person.
People often say that Shi Yannian is not careful, but he has many unique views on major matters and can get to the point. The early years of devastation made Shi Yannian develop some bad habits, Zhang Zhibai, who appreciated him, died early, and another person who appreciated him, Cheng Fan Yan himself held a bunch of handles in the hands of others. Shi Yannian, who could see clearly, had to hide himself to avoid being implicated. His official road is quite unsmooth, he has no support, and he doesn't know where the road is.
Back at home, the sun was already on the horizon. And when he saw it, he went down the mountain.
The whole family was waiting for Xu Ping to come back, and they were more anxious than Xu Ping himself. Now Xu Ping can be regarded as relying on Xu Ping's glorious lintel to raise his eyebrows, and the thoughts of a large family are on him.
As soon as she entered the house, Zhang Sanniang came up to ask Xu Ping how he did in the exam, and was scolded by Xu Zheng. Now that Xu Zheng's official position has risen, although Xu Ping will not let him serve in the ministry no matter what, his majesty is still increasing.
Lin Suniang stood aside with Panpan and smiled without speaking, she had confidence in her husband, how could a mere academy test be hard to live? Panpan is a little familiar with Xu Ping, but he still doesn't play with Xu Ping, only occasionally calls "Daddy" in Xu Ping's ear, and then giggles and runs away.
When it was dark, the moon rose, and the bright moonlight sprinkled the heavens and the earth.
Xu Ping's family ate the fruit and admired the moon, and they were happy.
In Xu Ping's small courtyard, Xiuxiu and Cui'er set up an offering table, praying to Fairy Chang'e that they would be more beautiful and have a happy future. Panpan was tired of staying by her mother's side, so she ran all the way over and followed Xiuxiu and them to make trouble.
Xu Ping looked at his family and the full moon in the sky, and felt unprecedented satisfaction.
On August 16, there was no early dynasty, and Xu Ping slept until three poles in the morning. In the same year, because he did not take a vacation in the Mid-Autumn Festival, he was on duty in the official office for his colleagues, discussed with his colleagues and asked for a few days of personal leave, and went to Xu Ping's manor in Zhongmu together. Xu Ping also took care of his bags and prepared to leave the next day.
On the seventeenth day, Xu Ping asked Liu Xiaoyi, who was taking care of the restaurant outside the city, to come back early, and took Gao Daquan to call Han Qi, Wu Yu, and Zhao Yan, and by the way, he called Shi Yannian, who was addicted to alcohol, to go to the countryside to relax for a few days.
As soon as Liu Xiaoyi left, Li Zhang, dressed in an official robe, came to the door with a few subordinates from the gate.
To Xu Ping's surprise, the results of the academy came down so early. The evaluation of the results of the call examination is much simpler than the provincial examination of the palace examination, and several bachelors discussed it, reported it to the emperor for decision, and then decided to make it.
The edict of the officials in Beijing can do this thing with the internal servants just looking at the arrangement. Zhao Zhen knew the relationship between Li Zhang and Xu Ping, and specially asked him to send the edict to the door.
"Brother, congratulations! From now on, you will be Master Xu! ”
As soon as Li Zhang entered the door, he congratulated loudly, without the pretense and solemnity of the holy decree.
Xu Zheng heard it in the room as early as possible, and hurriedly ran out of the room, touched the body, but there was no gold and silver as a reward, and hurriedly asked the little girl next to him to go back to the room to call Zhang Sanniang.
Xu Zheng looked at the edict in Li Zhang's hand and asked Li Zhang in disbelief: "Has the hospital tried it?" How can it be so fast? ”
"The edict is coming, and it is naturally over! Yesterday, the emperor discussed with Zai Zhi in the Chongzheng Palace, and even his brother's new official position has been decided, and he will be in the will together! ”
"What is the new official of Dalang?" Xu Pingzheng looked at Li Zhang expectantly.
Li Zhang smiled: "Uncle, how can you talk nonsense about this matter?" I have come to give my will, and it is taboo to say that. ”
Xu Zheng slapped his mouth: "It's me who is anxious!" He turned his head and shouted towards Xu Ping's small courtyard: "What is Da Lang doing in the room?" Don't come out and take the order yet! ”
Lin Suniang came out of the courtyard and said to Xu Zheng: "Father-in-law don't be anxious, Da Lang is changing his official clothes." ”
After a while, Xu Ping changed into his red official uniform and came out of the courtyard. The little maid in the family had already set up the incense case, and Xu Ping took over the edict of his promotion from Li Zhang in the courtyard.
Xu Ping Academy has excellent grades, one excellent, one slightly excellent, one flat, and the Zhishi Museum. This official was transferred from serving the imperial history to Si Feng Langzhong, giving silver scarlet, and serving as the judge of the three divisions of salt and iron.
This direct history museum is a post, and there is no need to go to the history museum to repair books, it is the official of the Si Feng Lang, wearing a red official robe, wearing a silver fish bag, and serving as a salt and iron judge in the third division.
It is normal for Lang Zhong to be a judge, and now another salt and iron judge, Xu Shen, is Lang Zhong of the military department, and his official is higher than Xu Ping, so he did not give the glory of Yinfei, let alone the post of the Zhishi Museum.
Zhang Sanniang didn't understand what this specifically meant, only knew that her son had been promoted and wore red clothes. This already made her so happy that she took a specially prepared silver ingot from the back room and gave it to Li Zhang and the accompanying soldiers.
Xu Ping took the order, and at the same time took the silverfish bag that was not given to him last time, knowing that he would not be able to return to Zhongmu today, so he had to send a small servant to inform the three of them in the same year and Shi Yannian, and the time was pushed to tomorrow. If the three of them had no other arrangements, they would come to Xu's house to celebrate together, and they should also pass the academy exam.
As for his own achievements, Xu Ping's heart is bright, and most of them were deliberately raised by the emperor. Excellent nature is a strategy, with his merits in Yongzhou, as long as he writes smoothly, others will give high marks. The slightly better estimate is about the sugar business, and the flat one is about the content of throttling, which is clearly calculated according to one's own merits.
When he was busy at Xu's house, setting up a wine feast to invite his neighbors, and entertaining Li Zhang and his party, Shi Quanbin led a few small yellow doors and knocked on the door again. Holding the edict in his hand, he asked Xu Ping to take it with Zhang Sanniang and Lin Suniang respectively.
Mother is more precious than son, Zhang Sanniang finally waited for his long-awaited fate, as Mrs. Rencheng County. Renseong County belongs to Jeju, Jingdong Road, and is Wangxian County, which is already extremely high among the county ladies.
The wife is honored by her husband, and Lin Suniang is the wife of Gaoyi County. Gaoyi County belongs to Zhaozhou, Hebei Road, which is a central county, and its level is lower than that of Zhang Sanniang.
Lin Suniang is still calm, this is what she expected, it's just sooner or later. Zhang Sanniang was so happy that she wanted to fly, and no matter what others thought, she gave Shi Quanbin and his party more money than Li Zhang and his party.
At this time, the entire Xu family courtyard was already in a mess, as if it was boiling.
Xu Ping squinted at the white sun in the sky, and only felt like a dream, why did he suddenly usher in such a day? Every few days, he will be promoted to a knighthood, and his family will be rich and glorious together, and his fate will change? (To be continued.) )
