Chapter 18: Newcomer

In March, Mrs. Cheng's house stood full of people as usual. Qingfu was sitting at the small tea table holding Cheng Enbao. Cheng Enbao was a four-year-old boy. He was still in his arms all day long, waiting for a walk.
Ruan's was not as decent as Qingfu. She stood beside Mrs. Cheng, constantly grabbing her veil, and she seemed to be a little uneasy. After a while, a little man finally ran in and kowtowed far away from the threshold: "Small please the old lady! Dear ladies, ladies and gentlemen."
Ruan's eyes lighted up, and even Qingfu raised his head. Mrs. Cheng is old and has the best Qigong Kungfu. Wen Yan still asked slowly: "Jiuye's order has come down? What do the people who repay the fortune say?"
"Overjoyed, Jiuye took over the shortage of the Ministry of Industry, and granted the Ministry of Industry Yu Hengqing to the official Lang."
The women depended on "Ah". Ruan's cared about this most. She didn't understand the long list of official names. She only knew, "How many rank officials?"
"Zhengwupin."
"Zhengwupin." Ruan murmured, her mood was a little complicated. On the one hand, she was proud of Cheng Yuanjing's official position, but the official rank did not rise, but on the other hand, she was a bit worried for the Cheng family. After all, Cheng Yuanjing is the person with the highest official position and the best future in Hou's government. He can't get up, and the Hou government in Yichun will only decline more and more.
There was no one in the room except Ruan, but no doubt Ruan said what everyone was saying. Mrs. Cheng persuaded Mrs. Cheng to use money to manage Cheng Yuanjing. Mrs. Cheng ’s boss was not happy, but she knew that Cheng Min was right. Mrs. Cheng wanted to use this level to squeeze the squeezer, so that he would know that he would not be an official and would be free from his mother-in-law's control. As a result, Mrs. Cheng hadn't finished putting on the shelf, and Cheng Yuanjing's order was issued.
Zheng Wupin is still an official of the Ministry of Industry. Mrs. Cheng was a little disappointed to hear about this official position, but more secretly. This position is not to say that it is not high, but just as everyone imagines, the young genius is far away from the Hanlin Qingguan.
Official awards are also very orderly. The really smooth Qingyun Road is that Jinshi was born, entered Hanlin, and stayed a few years of hardship. After that, he was sent to Shangzhou to be the governor. After two appointments, he was transferred back to the six divisions of Beijing Normal University. Those who can enter households and officials are the default cabinet bachelors. After another seven or eight years in the Sixth Department, he became a bookkeeper from his assistant. If there were no major mistakes during his tenure, he could enter the cabinet and become an elder.
This is the most ideal career resume for Tianxia people. If you would n’t get into the second class, you might as well not participate. The career in the second half of your life is not destined to be high. If the first officer of the Jinshi is not a clean official and did not enter the Hanlin, then this person ’s future promotion space is very limited.
Xiang Chengyuanjing's palace was transferred to the ground and released after the trial. It is true that he walked high and low. No wonder the Changguo government felt that the Cheng family did not manage and delayed the future of their children and grandchildren. Now it is easy to transfer back to Beijing, everyone is waiting for Cheng Yuanjing to study in such precious places as the History Museum. As a result, he went to the Ministry of Industry.
Among the six departments, the librarian department is the head, followed by the household department and the army department, and the engineering department is the next line.
Mrs. Cheng could n’t understand what Yu Hengqing said, only knowing that Cheng Yuanjing had entered the poorest and most tired work department. According to her many years of life experience, she did not become a Hanlin and entered the Ministry of Engineering. I am afraid that the promotion space will be cut off in the future.
Mrs. Cheng unknowingly settled down, and meditated on what the fourth grade of the teenager, the background of the scholars, and it was not mediocre to say. Qing Lao thought the same thing as Mrs. Cheng. She scorned her heart, but she did not show it on the surface, and shouted with a smile: "It is a good thing to give an official position. How many people are idle in the capital for two or three years, and they cannot be ranked. Come and reward. "
Xiaogu received the reward and went out with joy. Seeing the expressions of Qingfu and others, Cheng Yujin shook his head secretly. In order to accurately find potential stocks, she deliberately researched the official positions of the court. She knew more, and she could better understand the ways of changing official positions.
For example, this time, although Lang Zhongzheng's fifth grade is lower than Cheng Yuanjing's fourth grade when he was released, how can Beijing officials and foreign officials be the same. Even if it is a member of Zheng Erpin in other provinces, it is not the same as arranging for Beijing every New Year. When it comes to power, it is not as good as Jingpin Sipin.
Therefore, Cheng Yuanjing transferred back to Beijing and successfully received the official post, but it was a complete promotion. He went into six more departments. Although it is the lower and lower labor department, Yu Hengsilang is in charge of manufacturing in various government-run stores, military spending, munitions, arms manufacturing and accounting in various provinces, and smelting and casting money. This is a real power official, or the core That one.
Although it is small and unobtrusive, it is extremely important.
Cheng Yujin didn't think Cheng Yuanjing lost his career, but since Mrs. Cheng and Qingfu were willing to think so, then she broke through what she did. So Cheng Yujin smiled and did not speak.
However, it is still a happy event to grant the official. No one in the Cheng family has entered six before. Cheng Yuanjing still far exceeds the average level of the process family. Mrs. Cheng pretended to be a pity with the two daughter-in-laws for a while, and then said: "It is common for officials to rise and fall, let Jiuye be calm, and don't be defeated by a defeat. No matter how he is, I always have to do my mother ’s duty. So, get a hundred or two silver subsidies from the public to Jiuye to hold a promotion banquet for him. As for who to hire and how to do it, let him decide for himself . "
One hundred and two, Ruan's secretly stunned. She is only thirty-two in a month's worth of silver, and unlike Qingfu, she has a high price to marry and eat old books. She needs to be careful and careful to be decent. As a result, Mrs. Cheng gave a hundred or two to Cheng Yuanjing with a wave of her hand.
There are too many official positions and no official positions.
When the time comes to March, the weather is getting gentler, the flower garden sprouts new green, flowers are everywhere in the courtyard, and the women's families have also changed into light spring shirts.
In the Jinning courtyard, Cheng Yujin was wearing a white top and embroidered gold rugs and begonias on the lower edge, as if the begonia flowers spread to the skirt. Her skirt was also the same color, and there were golden dark lines. Cheng Yujin sits in the embroidery room, puncturing the needle vertically, without damaging the embroidery thread on the opposite side. Her needle row is well-proportioned, taking care of both sides. She embroidered a word again, short stitches several times in a row, hiding the end of the thread without showing the thread on either side.
Forsythia looked aside, breathtaking. Cheng Yujin's embroidery is rare, but everything is so delicate that it can calm down the scene as soon as it is taken out, which is significantly different from ordinary embroidery. Especially the one-sided double-sided embroidery is simply absolutely impossible. Forsythia admires very much. The eldest girl has never done anything perfectly. As long as you do it yourself, you must do the best. Even the embroidery movements are flowing and beautiful.
Forsythia saw Cheng Yujin put down the needle, and quickly came up to rub Cheng Yujin's shoulder: "Girl, you have embroidered for a while, and rest your eyes."
"Well." Cheng Yujin responded, and suddenly asked, "Does Uncle Ji have guests today?"
"Yes, at the banquet in the foreign court, I heard that Xu Erye is also here."
Cheng Yujin thought about it and asked, "When did it start?"
Forsythia frowned, thinking, her mouth was slick, and there were many maidservants, usually in charge of inquiring news. Forsythia recalled for a while and said, "There has been a while, probably an hour ago."
Cheng Yujin nodded and stood up and said, "Come on, I can't figure out one word, go to Jiu Shu's study to see how he wrote it."
Forsythia was startled: "Girl, there is no one in Jiuye's courtyard now, are you still going?"
"Of course." Cheng Yujin looked serious. "What a big deal is the gift to the Holy Spirit, how can it be delayed. Jiu Shu is not here, I just think about it myself. Go prepare some snacks, maybe Jiu Shu drank and left him to wake sober up."
Forsythia was a little confused, Du Ruo lightly hit her on one elbow, she woke up like a dream and went outside to prepare pastries. Du Ruo could see clearly that the drunkard's intention was not to drink, so the eldest girl had another strategy.
Du Ruo understood that she didn't say anything at all. She was clumsy and quickly picked up the needles on the table and asked, "Girl, do you want to change clothes?"
"No, I'm going to visit Jiushu, it's better to be homely." Cheng Yujin adjusted the skirt and said with satisfaction: "Let's go."
There was no one in Cheng Yuanjing's yard. Cheng Yujin came to the study every day during this time, and Chen Mingyuan's people knew her well. The little man asked if he was going to ask Cheng Yuanjing to come back. Cheng Yujin said no. He sat in the Dongji room, took a pen and paper, and copied the words of Cheng Yuanjing stroke by stroke.
After a while, footsteps sounded outside, and Cheng Yuanjing returned. But listening to the sound, there are others.
Xiao Zuo ran over and reported to Cheng Yuanjing: "Nine Lord, the eldest girl is inside, and has been sitting for half a hour."
As soon as the words fell, Cheng Yujin appeared beside Duobao Pavilion, smiling and saying hello to Cheng Yuanjing: "Nine Uncle, you are back."
Cheng Yuanjing was a bit dazed for a while, as if Cheng Yujin also belonged to this room, waiting for him to return. Cheng Yuanjing quickly calmed down and asked, "How did you come? How did you sit alone?"
"I have a word that I don't know how to write. I want to ask Uncle Ji. Seeing you are away, I will sit here and wait for a while." Cheng Yujin said as he walked out from Dongji, and saw several people behind Cheng Yuanjing. She froze for a moment, then hesitantly looked at Cheng Yuanjing: "Nine Uncle, this is ..."
Cheng Yuanjing's confused mind suddenly cleared, and he glanced behind him. These people were his promising young people. After the previous banquet broke up, he brought a few acquaintances to the house to discuss in detail. Those who can enter Cheng Yuanjing's eyes are promising and young talents.
The original purpose is here. He was just turned down by someone, and even thought she was waiting for him.
Cheng Yujin got his wish and turned his attention to the guests behind Cheng Yuanjing. She originally expected that Cheng Yuanjing was a jinshi in the 19th year of the founding of Wu. There are only a few jinshi in a year. As long as they are on the same list, they will have a layer of closeness that no one else has. Cheng Yuanjing has been out of the country for many years, but now he has just come back. Taking advantage of his official duties, there should be many jinshi who came to visit him in the same year. After the banquet, they couldn't guarantee that they would find another place to talk. Cheng Yujin came to Cheng Yuanjing's yard to gamble. Facts proved that she won.
Cheng Yujin took the lead to notice two young people, one being sullen and smiling, and the other being quiet, and only then saw Xu Zhixian also in it, and the most disappointed was Huo Changyuan.
Xu Zhixian saw her, wondering: "Sister Jin, why are you here?"
Cheng Yujin's gaze swept away from Huo Changyuan, and she was too lazy to give alms. She looked at Xu Zhixian with a smile, and was doing a good job: "Two cousins."
The Bai Jingjunxiu's young man smiled: "Yo, your family is interesting. Why is one called sister and the other called brother? Who is the big one?"
Cheng Yujin just waited for this sentence. She looked at Cheng Yuanjing and asked, "Uncle Jiu, is this?"
Cheng Yuanjing looked at Cheng Yujin quietly. Did she treat him like a fool? He weighed the pork and ran him to pick it here?
