Chapter 31: Thirty-one baby

Xu Zhen was heated by the maiden's words, but today was too late. She waited for Xun Qianchun to come back and talked about what the maiden said today.
The next day I went directly to work.
The courtesy maiden came to pick her up, walked her through the long stone road of the palace, through the vermilion palace gate, greeted the six divisions and several Lang officials in the palace, mixed their faces, and finally left Go to the ritual department.
The office of the Libe is located in the east palace, close to Luoyang Gate, and various classical instrumental music is placed around it. After entering, the four large houses are flat and flat, the main position is higher than the three next, and the golden tiles shine.
The door of the main house is open, revealing the wide living room and several men and women who have been seated. The tables and chairs are lined up on the left and right. The people sitting on the sides of the case are wearing round neck robes, holding pens in their hands, and bamboo slips in their right hands. What books are being transcribed.
The maid made footsteps after entering the hall.
These people looked up to see Xu Zhen, quickly put down the pen, and ran to the door to greet him.
Xu Zhen was not used to this lineup and waved a few people to go straight back to work.
The crowd retreated.
A woman wearing a soft headband, wearing a cyan official uniform, and having a good-looking appearance stepped forward and said to the maid that she could leave. Then she told Xu Zhen that she had gone out with her husband in the past few days. Let her be the guide.
Xu Zhen sincerely thanks: "Thank you."
The woman smiled and did not speak, leading Xu Zhen to the position.
Xu Zhen, as a member of the foreign lang, was only lower than Shang Shu and Lang Zhong, sitting in the second position on the left hand side. Pen, ink and paper inkstones were placed on the table, and a stack of books piled under the low table.
The woman said, "Yuan Wailang has just arrived, as long as he transcribes."
Xu Zhen had a psychological shadow about the transcript, and asked quickly: "Can you not transcribe the book?"
Woman: "What does Yuan Wailang want to do without copying the book?"
Xu Zhen asked: "Is there anything else I can do?"
The woman thought for a while and said, "It does, but Yuan Wailang seems to be unable to do it."
Xu Zhen asked with hope: "What is it?"
The woman said: "Manage the funeral of the palace and evaluate the academic content submitted by the school."
……too professional.
Xu Zhen admits his fate and starts to transcribe books honestly.
Most of the books that need to be transcribed are the former books, the content is varied, and most are novels, poetry and poetry.
The first book Xu Zhen copied was a novel. Although there were no punctuation marks in this dynasty, when writing a novel, the sentence will be opened a little, and the new plot will start with a blank line, so that Xu Zhen, a semi-hanger, can also understand classical Chinese. Fiction.
Halfway through, she put down her pen and read the novel again.
The writing is still similar to the manor farming in the mansion of Red Mansion It's amazing!
Xu Zhen lamented.
I read a few more books, including those about war and medicine. They were very exciting. Xu Zhen quickly transcribed it. After the transcript was finished, he took rice paper to find the woman who brought her to the venue before.
The woman also transcribed the book. When Xu Zhen came over, she whispered, "Yuan Wailang, what's wrong?"
Xu Zhen said: "I have finished copying, where should I put this? How is the division of labor? Are there any performance requirements? How many copies of each person should be copied every day?"
The woman said: "There are not too many requests, the bureau of the bureau changes frequently, all you have to do is to transcribe."
Xu Zhen was a little surprised: "Substitutions are frequent? How could this happen? Isn't it time to go to the palace, usually don't change people?"
The woman said, "Shang Shu has a bad temper."
Xu Zhen understood that the boss made trouble.
"Does Shang Shu have the right to change?" Xu Zhen asked.
The woman said, "Yes, but you need to approve it."
That's even more surprising.
Xu Zhen thought that if he wanted to hold on to this iron rice bowl, he must please the leaders and strive to survive in the terrible environment of state-owned enterprises.
She set a small goal for herself, hoping that she could last at least a year.
The woman was about to raise her pen. When she looked up, she saw Xu Zhen holding the transcribed rice paper in her hand.
She reached out and asked.
Xu Zhen handed her and commented while saying: "Oh, I read the above content, who wrote this article, is it too beautiful? Is this carrier called a novel? Why didn't I work in the bookstore before? see?"
The woman said: "It's a novel, there is now, but no one writes it."
Xu Zhen asked: "Why?"
Women's Road: "The novel is not a history book, a non-data book. Everyone reads the picture and refreshes it. After buying it, you can sell it to others soon, or you can sell it again. Then you can't make money if you write a book. No more writing."
Xu Zhen nodded and was about to speak.
The woman saw the words on the rice paper and asked after a moment of silence: "Yuan Wailang, where do you learn from?"
Xu Zhen didn't know the woman's intention to ask questions, and said bluntly: "Self-learning."
The woman is brewing: "This word..."
Xu Zhen asked: "What's the matter?"
The woman said, "Somewhat ugly."
Xu Zhen was shocked immediately.
She also knew that she was ugly, so she didn't love her transcript very much. She had to copy it several times in order to sell the book. Later, she copied the imperial examination booklet.
These two times did not have high demands on the beauty and ugliness of the characters, so nobody told her so bluntly that the characters turned out to be ugly.
Xu Zhen was a little sad. She forced her to respect herself: "In fact, it's enough to understand it. Why do you need beautiful words? Look at Mo Zi during the Warring States Period, write simple articles on banana leaves, and the words are not very good. , Despised by many people, but the ideas conveyed inside are very good."
The woman glanced at Xu Zhen after listening to it. She didn't expect Xu Zhen to compose a story casually. She was slightly shocked and disdainful.
Mo Zi's article is indeed simple, but where the article is written and what the words are are all recorded in wild history, and Zheng Shi does not know.
Moreover, this book was not written by Xu Zhen. What she needed to do was transcript. The most basic requirement of transcript was neat handwriting. This person's words were really unsightly.
The woman poured tea for the two.
Xu Zhen felt that her ugliness was indeed not very good, and took Xuan paper back and said, "I will go to another transcript."
Just walked to the position, another person came to chat with Xu Zhen.
This man is also a woman, with a round face, a dimple with a smile, dressed in a turquoise round neck robe, and a headscarf is very formal.
She was very enthusiastic and pressed her voice to ask Xu Zhen: "You are the Jiangling lady who saved the lord?"
Xu Zhen thought of asking himself the same thing in the past few days, so he nodded and said, "It's me."
The man asked, "How was it saved?"
When Xu Zhen saw a colleague willing to chat with herself, she was a little excited, and also whispered: "Provoking."
"Provoked? How provoked?" The man was curious.
Xu Zhen told her how to do it concretely.
The man was shocked after hearing: "Are you a legalist?"
Xu Zhen busy said: "No, it's not. I have read a hundred doctrines. There is no doctrine of fixed belief."
The reason for all reading is to cope with the college entrance examination.
The humane said: "But you are completely a conspiracy study of the legalists. It is really too powerful. Do you know the nose masks recorded in "Warring States Policy" and "Han Feizi"?"
Xu Zhen said honestly: "I have read this, so I came up with this trick. In fact, it succeeded quite unexpectedly. I originally thought it was just a piece of talk."
The nose mask says that Mrs. Chu Xiu, the wife of Chu King, knew that King Chu liked a beautiful woman, so she ran in front of King Chu and said that the beauty suspected that King Chu had bad breath, so she always covered her nose.
Then he ran to the beauty and said, although King Chu likes you, he doesn't like a mole on your nose, so you better cover your mole with your sleeve, so that King Chu will like you more.
Later, the beauty did the same. Every time when he saw King Chu, he would raise his sleeves and cover his nose. Chu Wang really thought that the beauty thought he had bad breath, and he wanted someone to kill him.
Xu Zhen read this story a long time ago, and read a lot of in-depth analysis, so he dared to let go, and it was luck and the books he read in the past.
The woman exaggerated Xu Zhen many times, saying that Xu Zhen was clever and courageous, no wonder she could directly become a member Wai Lang.
Xu Zhen was embarrassed.
Meeting such a passionate colleague on the first day made Xu Zhen feel good, and this person was really too enthusiastic. Xu Zhen reminded Xu Zhen of a student he had met in Qinglongshan Academy.
what do you say that is……
Xu Zhen couldn't remember, she asked the person who chatted with herself: "What's your name?"
The man said, "My surname is Tang, and I know nothing."
Xu Zhen nodded and wrote down, and said his name.
Tang Yan knew: "We know the name of Yuan Wailang already. If Shang Shu is here, we must go to the restaurant to greet you and introduce everyone to you, but it is just not here at this moment."
Xu Zhen said: "It's better to be away, too much I can't remember."
Tang Yanzhi thought about it, and introduced Xu Zhen to the few people who were still in the Department of Rites.
The former one who led Xu Zhen, named Zhong Mei, was the main actor. From Qipin, the group with the highest official status has been in this group for three years. If Xu Zhen does not have this variable, he will immediately become a member .
Xu Zhen suddenly felt a small heart tight.
Tang Yanzhi talked about the others around him again.
Those who are transcripts are mostly indifferent to the official, from the imperial examination background, and served as a magistrate before being deployed to the central government. There is another who came from the border and worked as a warrior and a military division. Therefore, he has a different perspective on present music and books.
The more Xu Zhen listened, the more she felt that she was a back door.
She sighed deeply.
Tang Yanzhi is still introduced there.
Suddenly, Xu Zhen thought of her little screamer and asked Tang Yanzhi: "Since we are a ceremonial department, can we arrange a few people to learn too much?"
Tang Yanzhi's eyes widened: "What do you want to do?"
Xu Zhen smiled and said, "There is a child in my family who has not yet reached..."
Tang Yanzhi said: "Although we manage the school, we still can't manage it too much."
Xu Zhen was disappointed.
Tang Yanzhi said: "But I happen to go to the school tomorrow. If you go together, you can ask the curator about this."
Xu Zhen originally intended to be a school or academy. After all, Tai Xue was under the eyes of the Holy Spirit. If Xiao Zhenhua went to Tai Xue to study, it would be too dangerous.
In contrast, the school is much better.
She nodded and said, "Then I'll go by tomorrow, and I'll trouble you."
Tang Yanzhi said, "No trouble, no trouble." Then he said, "There are six banquets together in the future. The Ministry of Industry and the officials like to hold banquets. It’s okay to eat together."
Xu Zhen's eyes lit up: "Free to eat and drink?"
Tang Yanzhi said: "Yes! It is generally necessary to give some gifts to the feast to fill the cost of the meal."
Xu Zhen's expression was calm: "...I may have to go home to take the children, it is not convenient to go."
Tang Yanzhi said enthusiastically that Xu Zhen could take the children, but Xu Zhen refused with integrity.
Xu Zhen went to work on the first day and was still very bland. No colleague made too much trouble and made a good friend.
Her happy backpack came home.
In the direction that most people left, they walked out of the palace. Most of the officials on the road walked slowly with their heads down, and occasionally whispered.
Xu Zhen went to listen to it, and heard about the autumn test and the state banquet after the autumn test.
She was not interested, and walked away a few people quickly.
After she left.
In the courtroom room, two people did not leave and lifted their transcripts under the setting sun.
One of them seemed extremely angry, writing and writing, and fell off and scolded: "What is that man's origin! Ming Zhongming is the one who should be a foreigner! Why give this person!"
Someone besides persuaded coldly: "This saved the lord, and saved Guan Nan, who was kneeling down by the emperor's master. These three things alone are enough for her to be a sixth-rank official."
The curse is still unhappy: "Why! Why come to the Ministry of Li!"
The man next to him said, "Who made our autumn exams leak, and it made the Saints unhappy."
The man finished putting down the small pen of the wolf and put it on the inkstand to continue: "And you feel uncomfortable. Why didn't you just say it when she came today, this is the beginning?"
The scolding face blushed and did not speak.
The person next to him continued: "Speaking of it, I thought it would be a fairy bone, I didn't expect to be so much worse than I thought."
The curse cursed: "Yes! It's too mediocre! Did she really do the good thing? Would it be a fraud?"
The person beside said, "I don't know."
Scolding: "Anyway, as long as she continues to be a foreigner, she will one day let her show her feet!"
The next person glanced at him, blowing his finished rice paper, leaning back on the back of the chair and laughing softly: "If you can do it, do it, but don't do it too hard."
Xu Zhen had successfully walked out of the palace. She looked up and saw the golden and red overlapping clouds hanging in the air, only to see a little blue.
She walked back, saw her own official uniform while shaking her steps, still a little trance, did not expect that she should be an official, became a member of Liupin from Liupin?
The position of Yuanwailang puts the three kingdoms to accompany the protagonist's horse riding, and he will be beheaded if he is inadvertently. Fortunately, the overhead era he wore is quite peaceful.
Xu Zhen fell in love and walked on the road to see someone in front of him.
This man is a little familiar, and is a short little girl, a bit like his own little girl.
Xu Zhen quickly walked up to see it, but unfortunately found that the little girl was not a little girl, but her eyes were very beautiful. If the peach blossoms were in full bloom in April, it made people feel better.
Xu Zhen looked at it again.
The man came and whispered, "Sir."
Xu Zhen froze.
The man shouted again, "Sir, it's me."
Isn't this the sound of a whispering flower!
Xu Zhen finally reacted slowly, and it turned out to be a nickname Hua Yirong!
The two held hands and walked home after meeting.
Xu Zhen bought some meat at the market. Some people in the stall saw her wearing a round neck dress and gave her three pies with meat.
Xu Zhen was so happy that she asked Xiaohua: "Where did you go to play today?"
Xun Qianchun didn't speak. His eyes turned to the distance. It was Zhengxi. The sun was burning like a blaze, and his eyes turned red.
Xu Zhen looked to the west and saw nothing. Guessing for no reason, Xiaohua wouldn’t go back to his hometown, and I don’t know what the Xun family looked like now. Since the whole family was destroyed, the old house shouldn’t be Sell, it is demolished and rebuilt.
Changan is sad for Xiaohua.
Xu Zhen thought about it and told Xiaohua that he was going to work today. He talked about going to the school tomorrow. He asked the curator if he could let Xiaohua go to school. He also said what he saw today. The previous novel.
Xun Qianchun's face was still calm, and the coldness in his eyes gradually faded into soft water where Xu Zhen couldn't see.
After the two arrived home, Xu Zhen took the official seal and began to study.
Xun Qianchun came over.
Xu Zhen touched the official seal and leaned in and asked, "Do you know how to use the official seal?"
Xun Qianchun nodded.
Xu Zhen took another one out of his pocket and put it on the table. It was dark gray like the one he had fiddled with in his hand. The head was a traditional Chinese character of "Qing", and the next one was a carved "Ritual Secretary Seal". One wrote Xu Zhen's name.
Xun Qianchun seemed very familiar with things in the palace.
She said: "The Ritual Department is divided into four divisions.
Xu Zhen asked: "When do I have to knock the chapter? That maid didn't tell me."
Xun Qianchun said: "There will be a school in the Ministry of Ethics to ask for school affairs and studies, and to approve the implementation of the three official seals of Shangshu, Langzhong and Yuanwailang."
Xu Zhen was a little shocked that she was so powerful.
When the shock was over, she hurriedly gathered around and asked Xiaohua: "How do you understand this? Didn't you even write Chinese characters before? Did you lie to me before?"
Xun Qianchun said, "No."
Xu Zhen never let her go: "You really didn't lie to me? Then why do you know so much about things in the palace?"
Xun Qianchun said, "My mother told me."
Xu Zhen's heart was a gimmick when she heard Xiao Xiaohua mentioning her family.
She is about to avoid the topic.
Xun Qianchun said, "Sir, it doesn't have to be this way."
Xu Zhen was stunned: "What?"
Xun Qianchun said: "Mr. thinks for me again and again, I don't mention my family, I am very moved." She looked at Xu Zhen, and after a while, she came up and kissed Xu Zhen's lips.
The warm feeling penetrated from the lips to the limbs, reminding Xu Zhen of the stormy cave, and there seemed to be a stormy sound in his ears.
She was shocked.
Busy push away the small call flower, the brain is blank.
After a long time, she asked awkwardly: "What are you doing to kiss me?"
Xun Qianchun looked at Xu Zhen: "I feel bad."
Xu Zhen was dumbfounded: "Why doesn't it hurt? Isn't it touching?"
Xun Qianchun said, "I don't know."
Xu Zhen asked a few more words, but Xun Qianchun didn't say much. Xu Zhen had to do her best to correct it: "If you can only kiss your face, if you kiss, it's not very good."
Xun Qianchun looked at Xu Zhen, his heart moved, and then slowly lowered his head, a low hum.
Xu Zhen asked again: "Why don't you kiss my face? The children of other people kiss their faces. What does it feel to kiss, I don't think it makes any difference."
Xun Qianchun said, "I will be happy."
"Happy? Why don't I feel it." She was uncomfortable the previous time, this time it would only remind her of the last time.
Xu Zhen is a little sleepy.
She lay down on the bed, reading to Xiao Huahua, thinking about it, remembering Xiao Hua's illness.
She looked up at Xun Qianchun.
Xun Qianchun was also looking at her.
Xu Zhen asked inexplicably: "You-haven't you been uncomfortable recently?"
Xun Qianchun looked at Xu Zhen for unknown reasons.
Look at the response to the small call, there should be no.
Xu Zhen smiled and reassured: "If you don't, it's good."
She sat up, turned to Xun Qianchun, read the book, talked about the way of governing the country, talked about internal law and external Confucianism, talked about things after the Tang Dynasty, and talked about Cheng Zhu's philosophy and psychology during the Song and Ming Dynasties.
After saying a lot, she asked Xun Qianchun: "Do you really understand the rules in the palace, do you really want to be an official?"
Xun Qianchun said, "I just want to know more."
Xu Zhen asked: "What do you know?"
Xun Qianchun said: "Anything is possible."
Xu Zhen said: "If that gives you a chance, do you want an imperial examination, do you want to be an official?" Even an emperor.
Xun Qianchun was silent for a moment, looked up at Xu Zhen, his lips moved, and seemed to say something. Xu Zhen turned his head to listen, but didn't hear clearly, and felt that the problem of Xiao Hua's unclear speech was really serious, and it happened from time to time. .
She asked again: "If you are going to school, will you go?"
What Xun Qianchun said softly.
Xu Zhen smiled and said, "Don't always be so shy."
"No shyness." Xun Qianchun whispered, "I listen to the sir, and the sir lets me go wherever I want."
Xu Zhen couldn't help but smile, and after he laughed, he moved to Xun Qianchun and said, "Then I will go to the school tomorrow. If the principal agrees, you will continue to study, and you don't have to use the Imperial Examination. As long as you say, you need to know more ."
Xun Qianchun nodded.
The lights outside the window were bright, and a warm air with fireworks breathed in. Xu Zhen was a little sleepy. She yawned as she spoke. She squinted and fell asleep. She slept calmly and quietly.
Xun Qianchun looked at Xu Zhen and reached out to hold Xu Zhen's shoulders and found that he couldn't take it.
She lay sideways and leaned against Xu Zhen, looking at Xu Zhen's sleepy face.
There are many words that cannot be answered, she can only put it back in her stomach, all her thoughts and thoughts, and finally it turns into a movement of pulling the quilt, covering everything in the quilt.
