In the early morning, when Lin Jue was having a good dream, he was woken up. He was told that someone came to see him. He was said to be from the palace, claiming to be Lin Jue's colleague, named Yang Xiu.
Lin Jue was stunned for a long time, and for a moment he didn't even remember who this person named Yang Xiu was. He accidentally caught a glimpse of the green official uniform hanging on the hanger in the corner, and then he remembered who Yang Xiu was, and couldn't help laughing.
It has been a month since I went on duty in the public house. As a storyteller in Chongzheng Hall, my job was casual. The first month, because I was a little worried about being exposed, I occasionally went to take a look. The next month, Lin Jue has already
I completely forgot that I was still a seventh-grade official in the Chongzheng Palace storyteller.
Yang Xiu actually came home. Could it be that something happened? Could it be that the matter was exposed? The superiors knew that she was lazy and did not go to the public housing every day?
Lin Jue didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly got up to wash up and rushed to the front hall. Sure enough, after entering the front hall, he saw Yang Xiuzheng, who was dressed like a big caterpillar, looking around restlessly. Two maids stood in the corner and stared.
Yang Xiu's crumpled and dirty official robe covered her mouth and laughed while talking.
After Yang Xiu saw Lin Jue, he jumped up, grabbed Lin Jue's arm and shouted: "Oh, Mr. Lin, you are here. Come with me quickly."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Brother Yang, what's wrong? I haven't eaten breakfast yet, and I haven't changed my clothes yet."
Yang Xiu stamped his feet and said: "It's this time, what else are you having for breakfast? It's already three o'clock in the morning. Don't change your official robes. Let's go and talk about it first. Let me tell you, Master Yuan has come to inspect our public house. He is looking for you all over the world.
.I even lied to him that you went to the public house in the morning and then left the palace to do business, but he still refused to leave and insisted on me coming to find you. The two elders were trembling with fear. Look, most of the things were exposed.
.Hey, how good is this."
Lin Jue was also shocked. His lazy trick was exposed? Impossible. Who would pay attention to such a poor place? Besides, the three colleagues inside must have been hiding it, how could something go wrong? But again
Think about it: Yuan Xiandao is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and he is theoretically under the jurisdiction of the Hanlin Academy. It seems reasonable for him to come to the public house to inspect. But he is the highest official of the Hanlin Academy, and he personally came to inspect this bird.
There is something unjustifiable about a place that is just a stagnant place. There must have been something special that brought him here, and maybe the whole thing was really exposed.
Lin Jue didn't dare to neglect it. This kind of thing can be big or small. Being lazy or slipping up is actually nothing in the yamen. But if someone wants to be more serious about the outline and the line, they can make a fuss about it. It's just that he
The official position has been reduced to a low level and is useless, but there is nothing to do. Although I am a little panicked, I am not too afraid.
So he hurriedly asked someone to prepare the horse and went to the public house. When he got out of the door and got on the horse, he found Yang Xiu rolling his eyes and standing behind the horse's butt in a daze.
"Brother Yang, is it possible that you came here? You didn't take a car?" Lin Jue asked.
"Have you ever seen a car prepared there? I ran all the way to find you." Yang Xiu smacked her lips.
Lin Jue laughed heartily, and quickly ordered someone to prepare a cart for Yang Xiu to sit in. The two of them drove quickly, and after burning incense, they arrived at the gate of Daqing. After showing their waist badges, they were let into the palace gate. The two of them were in a group
With stunned eyes, the palace guards and eunuchs took a path through the flowers and trees and headed straight to the location of the public residence north of Chongzheng Hall.
The scenery in the small courtyard of the public house is beautiful. The renovation a few months ago was quite effective. The flowers and plants at that time were already lush and green, and the grape trellis was already covered with ivy. Under the green trees and red flowers, the small courtyard of the public house was beautiful.
It also became a pleasant place.
The two doors of the public room were open. When Lin Jue came to the corridor, he saw Yuan Xiandao and Master Yuan sitting on the chair in the middle. There were several people standing next to them. Master Jiang and Master Hu were wearing green clothes.
The man in official robe bowed to the side and spoke with a smile. Yuan Xiandao ignored him, squinting his eyes and not knowing what he was thinking.
Lin Jue and Yang Xiu entered the public room, and everyone inside was alarmed. Yuan Xiandao also opened his eyes and saw Lin Jue standing in front of him and saluting.
"Master Yuan, it's polite for me to lower my rank to Lin Jue."
Yuan Xiandao stood up, his face was unhappy, and he snorted coldly: "Mr. Lin, I have been waiting for you here for an hour. Where were you when you were on duty? How could you neglect official duties like this?"
Lin Jue hurriedly smiled and said: "It's the official's fault, isn't it? I went out to do some private business in the morning. I really shouldn't have done it. Master Yuan may punish me, but the official will just suffer. But the official is just like this today. Normally, the official can't
They all arrive early and come home late, working diligently."
Yang Xiu almost laughed out loud, biting her back molars to prevent herself from firing.
"Hmph! Of course it's only today that I caught you. I don't know how you feel at ease when I'm not here. Of course it's just what you said." Yuan Xiandao said.
"Don't dare! Don't dare! If Mr. Yuan doesn't believe it, you can ask some of the adults in the public house to find out. Your subordinates are the most disciplined people, and they can prove this." Lin Jue said with a smile.
Mr. Jiang and Mr. Hu rolled their eyes and thought: If you are the most disciplined person in the world, there will be no one in the world who abides by the rules. However, they kept echoing: "Yes, yes, yes, since Mr. Lin took office,
He comes early and leaves late every day, and is diligent and disciplined. He comes early in the morning to clean and tidy up, and then studies and studies, waiting for the call. It can be said that he does not dare to slack off at all. Today, he does have something to do, and it is a rare occasion. Who doesn't have a private matter?
"
Lin Jue secretly laughed in his heart. The so-called cannibalism and short-handedness, and the salary and money were divided between the two old guys. This is how they were trapped. Even if you say such unconscionable things, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?
"That's all, it's not a big deal. You guys here are quiet and boring, and I know that. But you are also required to answer calls at any time. If the emperor summons you to serve, but you are nowhere to be seen? That would be a big sin.
." Yuan Xiandao waved his hand.
"Yes, yes, what Mr. Yuan said is true." Four officials from the public office hurriedly bowed and responded, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuan Xiandao said: "I have heard from people before that Mr. Lin has done a lot of construction work and renovated the place since he came here. Today, when I look at it, it has really changed a lot. However, this is a public house. Mr. Lin, you
Don’t you need permission to do this?”
Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, smacked his lips and said: "This... I'm sorry for my stupidity, I didn't think of this."
Yuan Xiandao snorted and said: "I know you didn't think much about it. Mr. Hu, Mr. Jiang, Mr. Yang, and Mr. Lin are new people who don't know the rules. Why don't you stop them? The public place is the public place. It's broken.
Even if it’s ruined, it belongs to the public. What’s the point of private renovation? Is it possible that it should be converted into your private residence?”
Mr. Jiang and Mr. Hu Nuonuo kept talking, speechless. They thought to themselves: This Lin Jue is very busy. I originally advised him not to move, but he insists on being busy. Although living here is much more comfortable, he is not picked by others.
Stung.
After all, Yang Xiu was young and did not want to accept such accusations, so she said in a deep voice: "Master Yuan, the previous public house was dilapidated and leaking, and the room was moldy. Books and official documents were often wet and rotted. Master Lin proposed to renovate it, and it was for the sake of everyone.
.There is nothing wrong with this, right? Besides, I didn’t ask for a tael of silver from the Academy, it was all paid for by Mr. Lin himself.”
"So what? Who allowed him to spend money to repair it privately? Are there any rules? Besides, this is the palace, and there are rules even for planting a tree. You guys are messing around here and ruining the palace.
What should I do about Feng Shui?" Yuan Xiandao glared.
"..."
No one dares to say a word anymore. With this big hat on, who dares to say anything? What happened in the palace tomorrow? In the end, it will be blamed on people like myself for ruining the feng shui in the palace. I cannot bear the blame.
"But having said that, you have renovated this small courtyard into a decent one. It is more comfortable than the public housing courtyard in my Hanlin Academy. Lin Jue, do you plan to continue working here?" Yuan Xiandao
He softened his tone and looked at Lin Juedao with a smile.
Lin Jue smiled and said, "Why did Mr. Yuan say this? Of course Lin Jue must stay here conscientiously. No matter what kind of official position, Lin Jue is grateful for the emperor's grace and the imperial court's cultivation, and he does not dare to be half-hearted."
Yuan Xiandao smacked his lips and said: "You are a dignified scholar, but you are not unhappy at all when you come here to work? You must also know the current situation here."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "When I was studying as an official, I made an oath. If I become an official in the future, I will only serve the country and the people, and I will never be picky. I am a brick. I can move it wherever it is needed."
Yuan Xiandao was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Lin Zhuangyuan is really good at talking. You are not only the new scholar, the son-in-law of the Prince of Liang's house, but also the disciple of the great Confucian Fang Dunru. You are also full of talents and learning, and you are the best in poetry and articles.
You are the best in the world. Are you willing to be a brick? I don’t believe it.”
Lin Jue said: "Believe it or not, the facts are proof. Master Yuan, haven't I stayed here well? I have also repaired this place and plan to stick to it for a long time. Isn't this clear evidence?"
Yuan Xiandao chuckled and said: "That's true. However, although you are willing to stick to this place, people like you are destined to be unable to stay here for a long time. Do you know why I came here?"
Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, cupped his hands and said: "I was about to inquire. Mr. Yuan is in charge of the Hanlin Academy and has many affairs. How could he come to inspect his subordinates in person? Something must have happened."
Yuan Xiandao stroked his beard and smiled: "That's right, I'm here for you today. Master Lin, you are going to be promoted."
Lin Jue was stunned and said: "Gaosheng? How can I say this? Lin Jue has not made any achievements. He has only been here for a few months and has not yet completed his three-year performance appraisal."
Yuan Xiandao chuckled and said: "Why ask knowingly? Don't you know about this yourself? Stop pretending. The newly established yamen 'Establishment of the Three Regulations Department' by Vice Prime Minister Yan is recruiting young talents to enrich it and implement reforms."
No, an official document was sent to my bachelor's college yesterday, calling for Mr. Lin, the new number one scholar, to be transferred to the Ordinance Department of the Third Department of Establishment to take up the post of scrutinizing documents. This is a sixth-grade official. The Ordinance Department of the Third Department of Establishment is also a hot spot.
Our new yamen will not only lead to a high promotion, but will also lead to a meteoric rise in the near future."
