The Ministry of Officials Examination is a personnel selection examination that determines which unit the Jinshi will be assigned to. It is mainly based on interviews. If you fail this examination, you will not be qualified for official positions. This year seems to be different from the past.

Kong held the official document in his hand, which stated that he would temporarily stay in Wangcheng to follow the seniors of various agencies to familiarize himself with the work process, just like an internship.There was always a bad premonition, Sora muttered softly and put away the official documents in his hands, the bright sun was shining brightly, the shiny leaves cast shadows on the ground, and the air was filled with the scent of spring flowers.

Looking up at this majestic building, I couldn't help but want to stop and admire its beauty.Different from Tanhua Jiji's emotions, that time was like a dream, unreal like a reflection in a bay of clear water.But at this moment, she realized very clearly that she came here as an official, not a tourist who watched indifferently, and any seemingly insignificant decision would be of great importance.It was so strange, my whole heart seemed to be surrounded by heaviness, anxiety, guilt and indescribable joy.

"Jinshi Hoshino" The guard standing at the gate of the palace interrupted Kong Piaofei's thoughts.

"Sorry, I have to trouble you to lead the way." Kong came back to his senses, showing a shy expression.The warm spring breeze rustled the leaves on both sides, and the clear lake water was coated with a layer of gold, with waves rising and falling one after another.The surging heart tide gradually calmed down at this moment, as if everything was just calm from beginning to end.Whether it is difficult or unbearable, she must go on unswervingly, this is her own path.

"He actually came here. He's just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old brat, but he's just getting ahead. He doesn't care about our efforts—"

"It took us a lot of time and energy to pass the exam. In my opinion, he just relied on—" The speaker suddenly stopped talking, looked at the two people in the first place with a livid face, and quickly moved away. opened his eyes.

Malicious and cold eyes run through his body, and he is not accepted due to his young age.Jealous eyes came all over the sky, he was neither from the Caiqi family, but also a brat, and the ridiculously strange surname turned out to be Tanhua Jidi.

"—Climbing up" Kong looked up at Jiang You while looking up at himself, "At your age, the reason why you were able to reach the top of high school is because you have a strong intention in your heart, and you have to work hard to climb to your goal. target's location."

Jiang You never speaks to comfort others, and her tone is always almost flat to indifferent. It is probably because of this serious and rational state that she can be called "the reason of iron walls and iron walls" in the future.

Qiu Ying smiled gently, agreeing with Jiang You's words.It is easy to suppress rumors that arise anytime and anywhere, but the best way is strength. If someone who bows his head in front of rumors, even if it is jade, it is just jade with damage. And being jealous and ridiculed will reach a height that ordinary people can't match.

"Thank you, maybe I should worship the gods, and thank you for being friends." Kong joked, with a sincere smile on her face, and there was no reason to give up. She was by no means alone on the road ahead.

"Lord Cai Li, Minister of Li and Lu Li, Minister of Li, have arrived!"

The gatekeeper made an announcement, and the whole hall was immediately silent.

Cai Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is a fat, smiling, and nearly fifty-year-old court official.In contrast, Lu Li's ministers seem to be not far from Cai Shangshu in age, but they are serious.The expression is quite serious, and one can't help but wonder if he will hit the muscles on his face since he was born.

Kong tensed his body, and he took a breath of relief after the official of the Ministry of Rites announced that the official document had left the hall, but there was no trace of relief on his face, and Qiuying also lowered his eyes halfway, and sighed in distress.

I do not know when and where such rumors spread: Flattery in front of the boss, privately abused in the name of upbringing the newly promoted official - over fifty years old, but only a high-ranking official with pomp, bullying the rookie to vent his anger if he is not high-minded .

This exaggeration of the facts and malicious slander of court officials was purely to vent their dissatisfaction.After all, the Xinke Jinshi who advertises that he wants to become a pillar of the country is definitely not looking forward to such things as washing dishes in the kitchen, doing odd jobs in the stables, or cleaning the toilets of various departments.

But as a member of the "abuse", Sora did not show the slightest expression of wanting to complain. Those who can climb up will definitely climb up, and the things that cannot be overcome will definitely be overcome by finding a way.Furthermore, washing dishes in the kitchen is by no means unbearable. As long as a certain number of dishes are cleaned on time, you can stand in one place without moving. Books can be put aside at any time to read. In a state of pain, Sora must be extremely grateful to be assigned such a position.

"It's really a pleasant thing to see Jinshi Hoshino again." Zhuang Ziju, who blocked Kong's way, said with a smile, and looked around the empty surroundings with a smile, showing a slightly surprised expression, "There is only Jinshi Hoshino , I always thought that Jinshi Hoshino would be with Jinshi Li and Jinshi Lan."

"I don't know what you agree with, but I'm going to the treasury now, if nothing happens"

"It's painful, isn't it?" The visitor interrupted Sora's words in a firm tone, with a cat-like smile on his face, "It's obviously not my fault, but it's their incompetence to endure other people's sarcasm. Others want everyone in the world to be as incompetent as they are."

"If this is your idea, I won't deny it. It's just that for what purpose did you come to the preparatory dormitory? You are not a candidate for this year, aren't you? You can enter and leave the Central Palace at will without being subject to jurisdiction."

"It's boring, life always needs some adjustments." The visitor said casually, his golden eyes were full of smiles, "Just like Jinshi Hoshino, you - in fact, you are also jealous of those two people like everyone else, don't It is easy to slip up and deny it, but even if you are jealous, you have to pretend to be grateful. With the blue and red families, you will rise to the top and easily reach the position you want."

Following the man's words, Sora stared slightly, and then smiled calmly in the next moment, "No matter who you are, you are still a thousand times worse than others. Moreover, all of this is just your conjecture Forget it, after all, even I don’t know what it means to be an official.”

There is no one who wants to protect, and there is no threat of life.

"What's more important." Kong tightened his face and looked at the person seriously, "You have already taken up a lot of my time, and I don't want to be caught by Mr. Lu Li just because of this reason. So, If you're bored, find someone else."

He left the place empty-handed, completely unaware of how long he had spent on this person, spending a lot of precious time on such meaningless things.

It was past noon when we arrived at the treasury.As usual, Sora walked to the bookshelf and prepared to tidy up the books, looking in surprise at the newly tidied summer vacation. "Master Shao Ke" was on the innermost bookshelf, and Sora found Mr. Treasury who was doing her work.

"I'm sorry, please let me come." Kong hurried forward and took the book in Shao Ke's hand, "Because I was delayed by some things, I'm really sorry, I——"

Shao Ke showed a gentle smile, and comforted him, "Don't worry, you are already very tired from your daily work. Although Lu Shangshu is unsmiling and strict with others, this is also a hurdle that everyone must break through. After sorting out, come here Have a cup of tea."

Kong smiled shyly, "Thank you, Master Shao Ke."

Although he belongs to the same family as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Mr. Shao Ke can always bring warmth to people, not the hot and fierce sun, but the warmth similar to the spring breeze at such a time, which makes people feel naturally comfortable.

"If you can really hope to help Master Shao Ke in the treasury all the time, because the presence of Master Shao Ke can always make people feel at ease."

Sora didn't know why she suddenly said such a thing, but she just vaguely felt that compared with the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households or other departments, this place made her feel more at ease, instead of being exhausted. In the end, she still didn't know why she worked so hard.

"Because I've always been confused about myself, I don't know what I can do at all, and if I cause trouble to others, I always think it's my fault," Sora tried to explain.Just as I was worried at the beginning, "Is it really okay for this country to let a layman like her become an official?" 'This is not a joke. It is almost entirely due to the notebook that it can be ranked first, but becoming an official is by no means simply choosing or making the correct answer.

"If you hesitate to move forward because of fear, and let your talents pass away and not use them where you need them, Xiao Kong will definitely feel sorry. The official examination is also a reasonable distribution of talents, and this year we adopt this method , is also the reason for the inability to correctly allocate talents, so during this period of time, Xiao Kong will definitely find a suitable position, and although Lu Shangshu's methods are too severe, they are not useless."

"Every time I come to the treasury, I will bother Mr. Shao Ke." Kong Huai said apologetically, the bright sunlight meanders in from the window, and casts a large piece of warm sun in the dark corner.

In spring, at the beginning of all things, the ice melts quietly, mixed with the gurgling stream, and the small green buds break through the confinement of the soil, and put a new "green" dress on the vast earth.
