When an official becomes big, the benefits are endless, but when the official is relatively small, there are actually some benefits.
It is inconspicuous and there is no need to rush around.
For example, at the emperor's wedding ceremony this time, all officials of the fifth rank and above in the imperial court must be present and participate in the whole process. However, an inconspicuous official like Shen Yi does not need to get involved. He only needs to do his job as a newspaper secretary. Work, just hand over a congratulatory form.
Therefore, on the day of the emperor's wedding, Mr. Shen still went home from get off work after noon. He first stayed at Liquan Tower all afternoon, and in the evening, he went to find a place to drink.
After drinking until it was completely dark, Shen Yi returned home. As soon as he walked in, two maids came up to him, brought Shen Yi a coat, and put it on him naturally.
"Young Master came back so late. It's getting cold now. I need to put on more thick clothes to avoid catching a cold."
Shen Yi yawned and felt a little tired: "The second brother of the Zhao family came to see me for a drink, so he stayed a little longer."
Qing'er pulled Shen Yi's sleeve and whispered: "Sir, someone came to my house this afternoon to deliver a letter. It's for you."
"A very thick envelope."
When Shen Yi heard this, he sobered up a little. He looked at Qing'er and asked, "Where's the letter?"
"On the desk in the master's study."
Shen Yi nodded and yawned: "It's getting late, you don't need to worry about me, just go to bed."
At this time, the two maids have been with Shen Yi for more than a year. Their feelings for each other have become deeper and their understanding of each other has deepened a lot. Qing'er looked at Shen Yi and laughed softly: "Ping'er is warming up the young master. As for the water, I will take care of the young master in a while and take a hot bath to relax him."
At this time, Shen Yi also slowly adapted to the life of this era. He shook his head slightly and said: "If something happens, I will probably stay in the study very late. If Ping'er boils the hot water, you two can wash and sleep by yourself." Bar."
As he said that, Shen Yi glanced at the yard where Shen Ling and his wife lived, and yawned: "If the third brother and the third sister-in-law are not asleep yet, you can go and ask them."
After saying this, Shen Yi tightened his tight coat and entered his study.
Qing'er followed in, skillfully lit the lamp for Shen Yi, lit the stove, and then slowly withdrew.
Shen Yi, on the other hand, was sitting in his seat and saw a thick letter placed on his desk.
Shen Yi's name was written on the envelope, and the signature was a seven-character signature.
This is the seventh group representing the Di Di News Department.
That is, the group of people Shen Yi arranged in Jiangdu. Currently, this seventh group has expanded to more than 20 people, all of whom are in Jiangdu for "practical training."
The content of their "practical training" was to investigate the Fan family in Jiangdu for Shen Yi.
Now, several months and nearly half a year have passed, and the seventh group has finally sent samples of their results to Shen Yi's desk.
only…
What I have to say is that the current intelligence team of the Di News Department is still a bit rough in the way they do things. For example, they did not meet Shen Yi's people, so they sent the information to Shen Yi's desk through the maid in Shen Yi's family.
This is too rough.
However, there is no rush for this kind of thing. Now the capital chain of Di Newspaper Division is very abundant, and the training of follow-up personnel is also being steadily advanced. In time, Di Newspaper Division will form seven intelligence groups and become a professional intelligence organization.
Moreover, the Di Newspaper Division is now expanding steadily according to Shen Yi's plan. For example, in Jiangdu, Suzhou, and some other big cities, there are already branches of the Di Newspaper Division. According to Shen Yi's plan, these Di Newspaper Divisions will be expanded in the future. Branch, each branch can be assigned one or several groups of intelligence personnel.
Because every branch of the Di Di News Department can sell Di Di newspapers and engage in advertising, their income can actually support local intelligence personnel.
The only thing you need to pay attention to is that you must control these parts so that the kite string in your hand cannot fly too far, let alone break it.
After thinking wildly, Shen Yi opened the envelope and took out dozens of pages of paper.
Reading so much content is a very time-consuming task, especially things sent by intelligence personnel. Sometimes you need to read them word for word.
Shen Yi used a small bamboo clip on the table to pick up the oil lamp to make it brighter, and then he added some more lamp oil.
Today... I guess I have to stay up late.
…………
Because he stayed up late at night, when Shen Yi woke up the next day, it was already high in the sky. When he stretched and yawned and pushed open the door, two maids immediately brought breakfast. Shen Yi looked up He looked at the sky and said helplessly to Qing'er: "Why don't you wake me up? It's already this hour."
Qing'er felt a little aggrieved.
"Sir, my servants called you early in the morning. You said you were very sleepy and asked us not to disturb your sleep..."
Ping'er on the side couldn't help but cover her mouth with a smile and echoed softly: "That's right. Master, you also said that you are the chief officer of the Di Reporting Department. If no one clicks on you, you don't have to go to the Di Reporting Department to report."
Shen Sizheng rubbed his head and thought about it carefully. He seemed to vaguely remember such a thing. He took a sip of hot porridge and shook his head: "It's really hard to stay up late. I can't even remember what happened in the morning." Already."
While Ping'er was arranging Shen Yi's hair, she said a little aggrievedly: "The third young lady came over to ask us sisters to go shopping this morning, but we had to wait for the young master at home, so we didn't go out. Now the third young lady has gone out long ago."
They were talking about Shen Yi's third sister-in-law.
Women naturally like to go shopping, especially in a capital city like Jiankang, which is worth strolling around. After Mrs. Shen arrived in Jiankang, she always asked Qing'er Ping'er to accompany her when going out.
"If we can't go in the morning, we can go in the afternoon."
Shen Yi hurriedly took a few bites of rice, and with the help of two coats, he put on his shit-green eighth-grade official uniform, straightened his hat, and went out to work.
It was the emperor's wedding. Originally, all the government offices in the imperial court were supposed to have a few days off. However, His Majesty the Emperor personally issued an edict, instructing all government offices not to interfere with state affairs because of his marriage. Therefore, the emperor got married yesterday, and today all government offices are working normally as usual. , only the Rites Department was still busy with various etiquettes, such as preparing gifts for Empress Sun's natal family, preparing gifts for Northern Qi, and preparing for the Empress's return.
When Shen Yi arrived at the Di newspaper department, it was already close to noon.
The Di newspaper department is operating as usual, and there is no impact at all because of Shen Yi's lateness.
Sometimes, Shen Sizheng returned to his squad room with a guilty conscience, fearing that someone would find out that the Di Reporting Department was the same with or without him.
After sitting in the class room for a while, I hung out until noon, took a short nap, and then it was afternoon.
At this moment, Shen Yicai gradually became more confident and felt that he had worked hard all day in the Di newspaper department.
Then someone invited Eunuch Sun Jin over.
After inviting him over, Shen Yi got straight to the point: "Eunuch Sun, I have something to ask to see Eunuch Gao."
Sun Jin didn't say anything and immediately sent someone to report it.
After a while, Eunuch Sun came to see Shen Yi and reported that Eunuch Gao was not in the palace and had left the palace.
Hearing this answer, Shen Yi was a little stunned.
Gao Ming is the emperor's secret agent. Although he can also go out of the palace to do things, he stays with the emperor most of the time. Could it be that...
The emperor sneaked out of the palace quietly on the second day after his wedding?
Eunuch Sun was very polite and said: "Sizheng, I have asked someone to leave a message with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After Eunuch Gao returns to the palace, he will immediately know that you want to see him."
Shen Yi smiled and nodded.
"Thank you, father-in-law."
In this way, Shen Yi waited in the Di Reporting Department for a whole afternoon. It was not until the evening when the sky was getting dark that the eunuch Gao Ming came to the Di Reporting Department.
Shen Yi went out to greet him personally and saw Eunuch Gao wearing plain clothes.
Shen Yi immediately understood that this guy was probably accompanying the emperor to fool around.
Listening to Pipa is addictive, right?
Gao Ming glanced at Shen Yi and coughed: "Sir Shen, are you looking for me for something?"
Shen Yi came back to his senses, slightly cupped his hands, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, I want to take a leave of absence and go back to my hometown."
Gao Ming frowned: "It's the end of the year soon, what are you doing back home at this time?"
"marriage."
Shen Yi said seriously: "Xiaguan is getting married at the end of the year, so I have to go back and make preparations."
Gao Ming looked Shen Yi up and down, and then said calmly: "The Di Reporting Department returns to the Ministry of Rites, and you will submit the leave note to the Ministry of Rites."
"Isn't the etiquette department busy these two days?"
Shen Yi smiled: "Besides, I have to say hello to my father-in-law in advance no matter what."
