The emperor is always bullied and crying [wearing books]

He was fined to kneel for six hours last night, and he really managed to survive it abruptly.Gu Xuan's knees were warm, but his heart was chilly.

This is really an era of cannibalism.

Dingbeibo Mansion is also a deep pit.

But he can't leave here. After all, the world outside may be more cruel than here. He wants to climb up step by step in this Dingbeibo mansion, with the help of the power and contacts in Dingbeibo mansion, until no one can treat him. He can be fined as high as he wants.

After finishing moxibustion on both knees, Gu Xuan extinguished the remaining moxa sticks and put them in the drawer.Take out the bookmark and fan again, and continue to polish.

While polishing, I was thinking about what to do tomorrow.

Now that he has become Ding Beibo's knife and pen official, there will be more opportunities for Ding Beibo to do things in the future, so he must make Ding Beibo like him more and more, so much that he is willing to add his name on the family tree.

Only in this way can we better use the power of Dingbeibo Mansion to climb up.

When Gu Xuan first came here, his life was in danger at every turn, and he couldn't help thinking that as long as he could escape from here, everything would be fine.

But now that he is gradually climbing up, the idea of ​​leaving Dingbeibo Mansion has been completely suppressed by him.

Gu Xuan never thought that leaving Dingbeibo's mansion, he could cross the class by himself and become an extremely human minister.

The saying that it is difficult for a poor family to have a noble son is not groundless.

Not only in terms of economy and education, but also in terms of resources and connections.

Some people study hard for decades before they can find a half-job, become a seventh-, eighth-, or ninth-rank official, and receive a salary of a hundred or so taels.

Some people are sheltered by their parents, and they can take up idle positions at will, and they can be middle-level officials of the fourth, fifth, or sixth ranks. They can receive considerable salaries and rice grains without doing anything.

Gu Xuan, who has now become a knife and pen official, will only leave Dingbeibo's mansion unless he is stupid.

Is there a better opportunity than going up through Dingbeibo Mansion?

After Gu Xuan finished polishing a Changle Weiyang bookmark, he moved on to the next bookmark. He thought: The construction of the Dayun Mountain Palace is an opportunity for Dingbei Bo to make money, and it is also an opportunity for him to flex his muscles.You can't just show your face in front of Uncle Dingbei, you have to jump from the high branch of Uncle Dingbei's mansion to a higher, thicker branch.

The night was a little bit late, Gu Xuan put the bookmark and fan into the drawer, but did not immediately push back the drawn drawer, his eyes fell on the white silk purse, which was embroidered with delicate bird's title and flower branches.

The corners of Gu Xuan's mouth curled up uncontrollably, the sticky buns are so delicious.

Blowing on the lamp to fall asleep, there was rain in the middle of the night, but I didn't notice it all night, and slept soundly until dawn.

-

Uncle Dingbei Gu Lizhao got up at five o'clock, dressed neatly and left the mansion.The groom had already changed, Gu Lizhao couldn't help but frowned slightly, even though he knew that Gu Xuan was no longer the groom, he was still slightly unhappy.

Gu Lizhao said in his heart: Just after the handover, he won't come.Now that he was already on his way to court in the carriage, he guessed that Gu Xuan was still sound asleep on the bed.

So the eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

After getting into the carriage and sitting down, the wheels of the carriage rumbled and rolled across the bluestone road.

The new groom drove very steadily, Gu Lizhao suppressed the unreasonable unhappiness in his heart, leaned against the window and dozed off slightly, and when passing by a breakfast shop, the smell was tangy.When Gu Lizhao woke up in the morning, he had no appetite or food, but now he felt hungry, so he said, "Stop the car."

Then he greeted the boy: "What's so delicious? Go and buy some."

Not long after, the curtains of the car were lifted, and Gu Lizhao was stunned when he saw it.But he didn't stop, and took the oil paper bag and came in.

"It's time for you to go to the government office of the Ministry of Industry to be on duty. I still need to go to court early. How did I get up so early?" Gu Lizhao's tone showed the concern of the elders for the younger generation.

Gu Xuan smiled and said to Gu Lizhao: "I'll save it, thank you for your concern. I'm just afraid that the new groom will not be able to drive well, and if I feel wronged by the master, I'll follow you all the way. I never thought that this groom is better at driving than me. , I am a mediocre person, and I made the master laugh."

Gu Lizhao couldn't help laughing, seeing how Gu Xuan looked at him for a while.

Said: "Since he drives very well, you will not come tomorrow."

Gu Xuan walked away with the car, and smiled calmly: "It is a great blessing for me to learn how to do things by the master's side. How can I still sleep soundly when the master gets up to go to court? It is already a pity to serve the shoes and socks in front of me, but I will talk to the master with the car to relieve my boredom, and I hope the master will reward me for this idea."

Gu Lizhao laughed happily for a moment, and said, "I reward you, reward you."

"Thank you sir."

Gu Lizhao picked up a piece of yam cake with whole grains, dried fruits and nuts, and handed it to him, "I'll give you a piece too."

Gu Xuan quickly took it with both hands, and said with a smile, "Thank you, master."

Gu Xuan didn't eat it right away, but stuffed it into his bosom.

He has no appetite now.

Moreover, if Gu Lizhao wanted to talk to him, there was something in his mouth that was unclear.

After sending Gu Lizhao into the palace gate, Gu Xuan just ate something at a morning tea shop, and then walked to the official office of the Ministry of Industry to work.

The official duty time of the Ministry of Industry is 6:7 according to modern time, and Gu Lizhao and other high-ranking officials, who are above the fifth rank, basically go to work around 8:[-] or [-]:[-].If there is any delay in the morning, it will be pushed back.

After Gu Lizhao arrived at the official office of the Ministry of Industry, he was led in and handed over to another person. The other person led him for a while, and led him to a seventh-rank official.

This seventh-rank official is the immediate boss of all the non-qualified knives and pens in the official office of the Ministry of Industry. He has a wide face, a flat nose, and bright eyes, but he is a little bald.

Seeing Gu Xuan, with an amiable smile on his face, he said: "Master Gu told me yesterday that today he will arrange for a knife and pen officer to come in and serve his pen and ink personally. Is it you? People. My name is Zheng Silian, and I am the seventh-rank knife and pen official of the Ministry of Industry."

Gu Xuan calmly knelt down and kowtowed to Zheng Silian, and said: "Your Excellency is absurd, the young Gu Xuan has met you, and I wish you well."

Zheng Silian then pretended to pull Gu Xuan up quickly, without any rush on his face, and said anxiously: "Don't kneel, don't kneel! You are really polite. You were specially arranged by Mr. Gu, why do you have to do such a big gift?"

Gu Xuan said humbly: "Etiquette cannot be ignored. The adults are the junior officers, and only when they bow to the officers can they be respectful to the official affairs. The younger ones are newcomers, and if the adults have anything in the future, just ask the adults. The younger ones must do their best."

There was a smile of unknown meaning on the corner of Zheng Silian's mouth, but the smile widened quickly. He patted Gu Xuan's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, there are so many things to do in the Ministry of Industry and Government Office. You can't just do things quickly, but more importantly, Be stable and plan well. You just came here today, so it’s good to be familiar with public affairs during the recent period. Come on, the series of account books for repairing bridges, repairing roads, clearing rivers, and building canals reported by the Kyoto area need to be re-transcribed. , keep it in the file. You can start with these.”

Gu Xuan looked at the table full of account books that Zheng Silian was pointing at, and cupped his hands without changing his face, and said, "I understand now, thank you sir for teaching me."

Zheng Silian saw that Gu Xuan's expression remained unchanged facing those hundreds of account books, and he suddenly thought about it.He smiled and said, "You're welcome. Go ahead, the pens, inks, papers and inkstones are all in that cabinet. I have to go to other places to have a look."

"Your Excellency, please."

Zheng Silian left this "file room", and Gu Xuan stood in the room with a little dust on his knees.He lifted up the hem of his clothes, patted it lightly, walked to the desk, picked up an account book, flipped through it casually, but his eyes couldn't find the real place.

There was a faint mockery in Gu Xuan's eyes.

Is there really no oppression in life?

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes!

He just came to the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, but he was assigned to sit in the "archive room" instead.

Tsk!Tut tut!

People are so dirty.

Dingbei Bo Gu Lizhao is directly under the Ministry of Industry and is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.He is the highest official in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, who is the swordsman who serves the highest officer?

——Zheng Silian, the seven-rank knife and pen official.

The other bureaucrats of the Ministry of Industry, who have no official rank, have to follow his path more or less, or sell his face to come in as errands.

However, Gu Xuan was arranged by Gu Lizhao himself.

No, I was really afraid that I would come here to "compete" with him, so I couldn't wait to give him the bench.

Ah.

It's easy to touch other people's cakes by accident!

However, the cake is only this big, and he wants to eat it too, so what should I do?

Gu Xuan walked around the table and sat down, flipped through the ledgers one by one in an orderly and unhurried manner, and then began to copy them.

Outside the room door, Zheng Silian secretly watched Gu Xuan's movements inside, seeing him like a goose, doing what he said, he couldn't help but sneered, then cut his hands behind his back, and walked away leisurely.

Zheng Silian said in his heart: "So what if I can go to Mr. Gu's side to work as an errand?"If you have no quality or rank, you must not only listen to Mr. Gu, but also to me.With so many account books, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to copy you to death!You have to do both Mr. Gu's errands and the errands arranged by me. I want to see if you, Gu Xuan, can last for a few days.

After Gu Lizhao came down to court, he came to the official office of the Ministry of Industry to be on duty. When he sat down in the public room, some officials from below would come to report to Gu Lizhao about his official duties, and occasionally he would call the officials below to hold a small meeting to discuss some things that could not be settled in one word. matter.

Of course, the most important thing for the Ministry of Industry now is to start preparing for the construction of the Dayun Mountain Palace, so most of the time today is to deploy and arrange manpower.

Gu Lizhao didn't care about Gu Xuan either. When it was time to eat and rest at noon, Gu Lizhao sat on the teacher's chair, took a sip of tea, and looked at Zheng Silian, the seventh-rank knife and pen official who was busy, suddenly remembered Gu Xuan, and asked : "Officer Zheng Bi, where is Gu Xuan?"

Zheng Silian's heart skipped a beat: Mr. Gu thinks highly of Gu Xuan.To think of Gu Xuan so early.

He immediately said respectfully to Gu Lizhao: "Gu Xuan is new here, and he wants to know more about the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, so he asked the younger one to copy the account books of the work from last year to this year, and keep them in the file. My lord, do you want to call Gu Xuan? Just go and call him now."

Gu Lizhao took another sip of tea, waved his hands, and said, "Since it's his own request, then let him go. Wait for him to finish those things before appointing another errand."

When Zheng Silian bent down, the smile on his face seemed to widen, and he replied, "Yes."

On this day, Gu Xuan didn't even see Gu Lizhao's face.When he was on duty, Gu Lizhao was invited by his colleagues to go to the banquet in a car. Gu Xuan watched the car leave and walked towards Dingbei Bofu by himself.

After copying the account books for a day, my arms and palms, shoulders and waist are all sore.
