The sad reminder of the science man

When the Xue family knelt in the hall, listening to the eunuch's shrill voice, all the Xue family except father Xue felt dreamy.This is how my master became an official, still from the third grade, not the kind of sesame seed official, but the head of the household department of the third grade. He has real power, and even Father Xue felt that he had hit the big luck. I thought it would be good to get a fourth or fifth rank, but I didn't expect to be the head of the household department of the third rank all of a sudden. God bless me.

After the little eunuch finished announcing the decree, everyone in Xue's family kowtowed to the emperor for his kindness, and then got up. Father Xue stepped forward to receive the decree, put the decree away, and then turned to talk to the little eunuch.

Father Xue stuffed a purse into the little eunuch's hand, and said with a smile, "Elder-in-law and your surname, I'm sorry to trouble you, please accept this."

The little eunuch is still young, but it's not the first time he came out to give an edict. He touched his purse, lightly, and nodded in his heart. It's probably a bank note, and I don't know how much it is, but it should be worth it in the Xue family's case. At 20 taels!For a person like the little eunuch, nothing is worth money, and when he was satisfied, his expression naturally came out, and he smiled and said to Xue Ze, "Your Excellency Xue, you are welcome, our family name is Wei, and the adults call me Xiao Weizi." Just fine."

How could father Xue be so careless to call Xiao Weizi? He said that the King of Hades is worse than a little ghost. Father Xue knew this truth, so he said politely to the little eunuch, "Eunuch Wei, it's too outlandish to say that. I don't know Eunuch Wei If you are in a hurry, why not go inside and have a cup of tea."

The little eunuch looked at the sky, and said to Father Xue, "No, I don't think it's getting too early, and our family has to go back to the palace to renew the order."

Father Xue had no choice but to give up, "Then Xue will not keep Eunuch, and hope that Eunuch can come and drink tea when he is free."

Eunuch Wei said with a smile, "Master Xue, don't forget to enter the palace to thank you tomorrow." Eunuch Wei saw that he had already walked to the door, "Mr. Xue, stop, our family will leave now."

Father Xue saw that he had already reached the door, so he couldn't stay any longer, "Thank you, Eunuch Wei, for your reminder, Eunuch Wei, go slowly."

Eunuch Wei nodded, then turned around and got on the sedan chair to go back to the palace. As soon as he got on the sedan chair, he immediately opened his purse and saw that it was a 100 tael silver bill. He had a much better impression of the Xue family. You're stingy, you have to make friends in the future.

Father Xue watched Eunuch Wei walking away in the sedan chair, then turned around and took Xue Chi into the house.

Xue Jia has been in ancient times for so long, so he naturally knew what effect Xue's father's being an official would have on the whole family. Xue Jia walked beside Xue's father and said excitedly, "Father, you have become an official, is this true? It feels like a dream. "

Father Xue was very happy in his heart, but he still pretended to be unintentional and said, "Why are you dreaming and not dreaming? Didn't you hear the decree just now? Is the decree still in our house? Can the decree be false?"

Xue Chi smiled and scratched his head, "Dad, am I too shocked? Dad, did you already know it! Why don't you tell us about it?"

Xue's father looked at Xue Jia's happy face, and saw the joy at home, "Father has a hunch, but the important thing is to see what the emperor wants, and didn't I teach you not to say things that you are not sure about?"

Xue Chi smiled, "Father, I know, my son must remember, am I happy?"

Father Xue glanced at Xue Chi, "I hope you can really remember. Think about it, if I make the matter known to everyone in advance, what should I do if it doesn't work later? There are people like us who don't care about trivial matters. Out of proportion."

Xue Jia looked at Father Xue, and muttered softly, "What kind of family are we? We're not ordinary people. Can't we be happy about such a big event as Dad being an official? Think about it, the Jia family just yells everywhere about trivial matters."

Father Xue slapped him, "Boy, don't think I can't hear you because of your low voice. Who says you can't be happy. You, it's really good to remember, remember bad. This Jia family is so disliked by you. You can tell from the letter you sent back that you don't have a good impression of the Jia family."

As soon as Xue Jia heard Father Xue talk about Jia's family, he naturally thought of the deep talk between Master and himself, so he stopped talking, "No, I'm just happy for Dad. Dad, is our family going to have a banquet?"

Father Xue thought for a while and nodded, "Of course I want to, but it's not because of being an official, but because of moving."

When Father Xue said this, Xue Chi was stunned for a moment, and then he thought about it, and he figured it out, "Yes, we will hold an official banquet directly. Others will probably say that our family is crazy, but it's okay to put wine in the name of moving. The name sounds much better, and our family is going to live in the capital for a long time, so everyone knows that we moved to the capital, so we will move around more in the future, right?"

Father Xue watched and talked about his youngest son, and stroked his beard, "Yes, we will focus on the capital in the future, so naturally we want people to know that our Xue family is here. It's not that we can't celebrate being an official, but our Xue family has a shallow foundation after all. , there is no room for sloppyness, so we must pay special attention to it. One step at a time, we must be firm, so it is just right to use the title of housewarming."

Xue Chi nodded, "Don't worry about it, my boy. I'll give you an order now, so that the servants will not be arrogant or bully others."

Father Xue saw that Xue Jia turned around and was about to leave, so he hurriedly stopped him, "There is no rush, your mother has probably made arrangements. It's all gone to the door, your mother and your sister are still waiting for us, this is an official matter , our family should be happy no matter what.”

Xue Jia thought about it, and he really said that the wind is the rain, and this problem needs to be corrected. Instead, he smiled and said, "Yes, father, this mother and sister will be very happy." Shouting, "Mom, Dad is now an official!"

Father Xue looked at this scene and heard laughter coming from inside. He smiled and shook his head, "I'm still a child, when will I grow up?"

Mother Xue was chatting and laughing with Xue Jia and Xue Hao, when she saw Father Xue coming in, she stepped forward, "Congratulations, master, congratulations to master, our Xue family finally changed families. Master will be the official master from now on, and I will also be the official wife!" "

Father Xue looked at and talked to Mother Xue, and his son who was grinning from ear to ear and his daughter who was so excited that she wrinkled her handkerchief. I have been trembling for so many years. When Father Xue was about to say something to Mother Xue, the door The voice of the chief housekeeper Xue Quan came from outside.

Xue Quan stood at the door and shouted inside, "Master, we guys are very happy to know that Master is an official, and we are here to congratulate Master."

Father Xue paused, nodded to Mother Xue, then turned around and walked towards the yard. Mother Xue, brother and sister Xue Jia and Xue Hao also looked at each other, and followed Father Xue and Mother Xue.

A group of servants in the yard saw Master Xue coming out, and they said in unison, "Congratulations, sir, for his promotion." They knelt down after saying that.

Father Xue nodded, "Master, I'll accept your wishes. But the ugly words come first. If anyone takes advantage of my current position as an official to bully others, do evil things, and don't need the government to arrest him, I will send him to the government first. At that time, don't tell me whether it is my old man of the Xue family or the face of the Xue family, I don't care."

Speaking of this, Father Xue stopped for a while, looked at the kneeling people, ignored them, and continued, "Many of you are old people from my Xue family, and I have never left Jinling to the capital. I am very grateful, and some People are only recruited by our Xue family when they come to the capital. I don’t care if you are old people from the Xue family or people from the capital, but you have to know that this is the capital. They say that a plaque was smashed down, seven of them were officials, two of them were relatives of the emperor, and the rest One is an ordinary person, even this ordinary person is either rich or expensive. I believe you should not be so stupid that you can't recognize the form. Master, I have a bad temper, and if someone violates my taboo, I will never be soft. "Speaking of this, Father Xue stopped and scanned the kneeling people with his eyes.

The servants of Xue's family were frightened when they heard Father Xue's words. Some of these people had gone through the prosperous days when Xue's family was still an imperial merchant, and thought they could gain prestige now, but when Father Xue said it, no matter what they thought I want to, but at least I won't get crazy in the near future.

Father Xue even trembled when he saw someone kneeling, and nodded in his heart. If it was the effect, as long as they could settle down for a period of time, he would be satisfied. When everything was on the right track, he wouldn't be afraid that they would cause some trouble.You must know that the Xue family has a very shallow foundation in the capital. Although they have the help of the Wang family, although some of these people were brought from Jinling, many of them were recruited from the capital. He became insolent, but after a hard blow, he still had to give a sweet date, not to mention being an official, so Father Xue said again, "Master, I am now an official, as long as you keep working hard for my Xue family, I will be too." I will not treat you badly. Master, I am an official, it is a happy event, it is a happy event for the Xue family, everyone, whether present or not, everyone can receive three months of money as a reward."

The servants of the Xue family were all happy when they heard this, even though the old man said it seriously just now, after all, the servants of the Xue family have been acting low-key for many years in the Xue family. People are not stupid. For most of the servants, it is a reality to get actual money, so they all kowtow to thank and don't mention it.

Father Xue glanced at them again, asked them to get up, and said a few words of encouragement, telling them to work hard, saying that the Xue family does not cause trouble, but they are not afraid of trouble, which reassures the servants of the Xue family.Father Xue saw that the servants were in good spirits, so he asked them to disperse and return to their respective posts, and then took Mother Xue and the others into the room. The family still had to have fun.
