At noon, the yamen provides meals, but the food is mediocre, and the tastes of newcomers from all over the country are also different, so many people go out to eat together.

Shen Jia was the number one scholar after all, and many people wanted to invite him to dinner, so he took a group of people to the nearby Xideng Building.

Zhou Yanzhi also went, listening to everyone flattering Shen Jia throughout the whole process, his face became colder and colder. Thinking back then, he was also one of the best talents in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was always the focus when he was out. Become a transparent person.

Because there was still work to be done in the afternoon, so no one ordered wine, Zhou Yanzhi toasted Shen Jia with tea instead of wine, and asked with a half-smile, "Master Shen, do you think of a good place to go?"

Shen Jia saw that he was harboring evil intentions, but she was not afraid of him, thinking: I have offended even the emperor, and I am not afraid of offending you.

"The transfer of officials is a matter for the imperial court. Why should I think about it? After all, it is enough to serve the imperial court."

Everyone praised: "Master Shen is so righteous!"

Zhou Yanzhi secretly said: Hypocrisy villain!Then he said with a smile: "My uncle is the Minister of the Household Department. I heard from him that all the departments are short of people now. Our group of Jinshi will be assigned soon. If everyone here has a position you want to seek, you have to hurry up." It's better to start."

What he meant by saying this was to tell everyone: What's the use of currying favor with a champion who has no background?It can't help you get promoted and get rich.

Sure enough, everyone's eyes lit up, and they turned their attention to Zhou Yanzhi.

"Brother Zhou has set a goal?"

Zhou Yanzhi would not be so stupid as to tell them what his goal was, but just smiled and didn't answer. In the eyes of others, he had already made a decision on his future, which immediately attracted a lot of envious eyes.

"Brother Zhou's family has someone to help. It is true that we can choose the best place to go. Unfortunately, I am alone and helpless, so I can only find my own future." A scribe in his 40s said with emotion, saying that it is not necessarily lonely and helpless. Well, the people who can get on the list are not stupid. They have visited the wharf before. The forces in the DPRK and China are complicated, but it is not difficult to find an official who can help them.

After all, there are countless vacancies. If you don't want to spend your whole life as a small editor like Mr. Qu, you have to work hard. Thinking about it this way, everyone has more common language with Zhou Yanzhi, and put Shen Jia aside.

Zhou Yanzhi was secretly proud, look, besides a face, what else should Shen Jia boast about?Could it be possible for one person to fight alone in this court?

At night, after leaving the government office, Zhou Yanzhi went to visit Zhou Qing, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Although the two were of the same family, they were already distant relatives. But after Zhou Yanzhi went to high school, even distant relatives could get close immediately.

Zhou Shangshu said kindly to him: "Today, the emperor asked the Minister of the Ministry of Officials about your arrangement. At present, there are seven vacancies in the six departments, and there are ten smaller ones in the other departments. It is bound to be replenished immediately. Wang Changqing knew that the emperor valued the number one scholar before." Lang, so he proposed to transfer him to be a member of the Ministry of Rites, Wailang, but was rejected by the emperor."

Yuan Wailang is from the fifth grade. If the emperor agrees, Shen Jia will be promoted two grades at once. Zhou Yanzhi gloated and asked, "Why doesn't the emperor agree?"

"Naturally, it means that he is still young, inexperienced, and unfit for great responsibility, but in this way, he instead promoted Xu Qinghe, who is the top two, who is from Jiangxi, and his father is the magistrate of Jiangxi. It is a time of prudence and physical strength, so it is not wrong for the emperor to arrange it like this."

"Then..." Zhou Yanzhi asked himself intentionally, but he was afraid of appearing too reckless.

Zhou Shangshu is an old politician, so he couldn't see what this nephew was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, our Zhou family has a lot of contacts in the court, and His Majesty knows this, so the possibility of you staying in Chang'an Not too much, [-]% is to be released, but don’t think that the starting point is too low. You are different from others. As long as you have excellent performance in office for three consecutive years, you will naturally be able to rise up level by level. Promotion at the local level is comparable. Beijing and China are much easier."

Zhou Yanzhi also understood this truth, but he felt a little offended, but he still asked, "I don't know where it is?"

"Naturally you can't go to the south of the Yangtze River. I chose Huzhou for you. Huzhou is a land of fish and rice in the central part of the country, and it is also a place of wealth. You go to be the head of the sixth rank. After three years, the prefect of Huzhou, Jiyangshu, will be transferred. Then arrange for you to be on the top, so that the road to promotion will not be too conspicuous."

Zhou Yanzhi immediately understood that this was the best arrangement, and solemnly expressed his thanks. The uncle and nephew talked intimately for a while before finishing.

On the second day, the Hanlin Academy indeed received a transfer order. Within a day, Zhou Yan was released, and the top tier-ones basically went to the six departments. One of the Hanlin Academy named Lu Hongbin turned out to be a doctor of the Ministry of Industry appointed by the emperor. I was received by the emperor once before. It is said that the emperor is very satisfied and has a bright future, which is enviable.

For several days in a row, officials left, but Shen Jia, the number one scholar, was ignored. At first, everyone thought that the emperor had a better position for him, but as the vacancies were filled, everyone found that Shen Jia didn't get a position. Immediately someone sneered and said: "What about the number one scholar? It's not like he can only study history books in the Imperial Academy. I think the emperor thinks that he is too young, and he is afraid that he will not be able to do anything."

Shen Jia didn't care too much, he had already expected that he would sit on the bench, and the emperor was still angry at the moment, so he definitely didn't dare to take a foreign transfer, he would only dare to move after he forgot about himself for a year or so .

Gao Sheng's colleagues all threw a banquet to celebrate, and Shen Jia was a must-have. As time passed, everyone didn't pay much attention to him, and even dared to ask in front of his face: "I don't know when I can eat Shen Zhuangyuan's wine?" ?”

Shen Jia didn't care about them, and said with a smile: "Soon, the fifth day of the next month will be the joy of Shen's housewarming. I wonder if you are free to come and have a drink?"

At this time, everyone remembered that Shen Jia's house was rewarded by the emperor. No matter what, the emperor must remember him in his heart. As for why he hasn't been transferred yet, I'm afraid he hasn't found a suitable position, so they all expressed that they would definitely to go.

If they knew that Shen Jia had offended the emperor, let alone sitting together drinking, they would probably be ten miles away from him.

Shen Jia often came home half drunk, and He Yan would always nag him a few words, and then serve him a bowl of hot hangover soup.

"It's better to be my Ayan, how can I live without you?" Shen Jia soaked in the bathtub, the hot water covered his chest, two bright red spots were looming, especially eye-catching on his fair skin.

Although He Yan is a straight man, sometimes he can't help but see Shen Jia like this, so he can't help but look away and say: "I have been your slave all my life, as long as you don't drive me away, I will always be here .”

15 years old, still a child in Shen Jia's eyes, she teased him and said, "I'm going to take your deed of prostitution to cancel your citizenship. It doesn't matter if you are a slave alone. If you want to get married and have children in the future, this status will be bad. What kind of girl do you like? Shall I find you one?"

He Yan blushed, and said stiffly: "Don't worry about it, your vision is so bad, let's forget it."

Shen Jia disagrees with this point, "Why is my vision so bad? I can find the right man by just looking for anyone, how can this vision be bad?" If the two hadn't had a quarrel, Shen Jia would definitely regard this matter as a lifetime honor to commemorate.

"Yes, yes, but I'm a slave, so I don't need to marry the princess or princess, as long as I'm honest and do my duty."

Shen Jia turned around, submerged her head in the water, gurgled for a while, then popped her head out and said, "When you meet me, let me know, and I will help you hold a beautiful wedding." He didn't Yes, I always hope that people around me can have it.
