17. Park Taiqing Eye Committee Winter Difference

Pu Xianyu waited at the concierge for a long time, but Hong Jinglai told him that Min Jinghye was busy and had no time to meet him. Inevitably, Pu Xianyu had a trace of disappointment on his face.

However, he probably had a clear understanding of his status as a member of a small business, so his disappointment only lasted for a short moment, and he quickly regained his composure. He ordered his subordinates to hand over the gifts they had brought and give them to Min Jinghye.

.

When Hong Jing came to ask, he found out that it was a six-panel Suihan Sanyou silk screen, which was expensive, costing a thousand taels. But he was willing to spend the money, and he had a good attitude, and he was not the kind of person who couldn't withstand setbacks.

"Let me ask you carefully, are you originally from Yeongju, Jeolla Province?" Hong Jing found a chair and sat down.

"Yes, my great-great-grandfather moved from Lingzhou to Donglai a hundred years ago."

"Has it always been the Park family?" The surname of the middle class does not have the same stringent management and inheritance conditions as the Yangban class. It would not be a strange thing even if Park Hyun-yu's surname was changed.

"It's always been Park!" Park Xianyu was a little confused about Hong Jinglai's question.

"Then sir, you are really gifted with an opportunity!" Hong Jinglai clapped his hands several times in succession.

"What the adults said, why don't you understand..."

"Hahahahaha! The household judge who was promoted to the Xuanhui Department is the now powerful Park Tae! His hometown is Pannan County, Luazhou, Jeolla Province, which is adjacent to your hometown, which happens to be the same.

Mrs. Pu, just wait for Pu Tai to summon you!"

"kindness?"

Park Xianyu naturally knew who Park Tae was, but he really didn't change his mind for a moment after Hong Jinglai's words. There are so many people named Park in the world, and there are not even ten thousand but eight thousand people in Gyeongsang Province, Jeolla Province, and he is one of the best.

How could it possibly be related to the dignified Park Jong Kyung?

"Your resume has been chosen by Pu Tai!" Hong Jinglai said to him with a smile.

"Ah! This, this, this..."

If you still don't understand now, Park Xianyu has worked in the public service for eleven years in vain.

"So congratulations!"

"Oh, it's all thanks to you that you can hand over your resume to Pu Tai!" Pu Xianyu immediately bowed to Hong Jinglai, and then bowed to Min Jinghye's main hall in the courtyard.

"This is your chance. As soon as He Qian from Xuanhui Hall calls you in the past two days, I will introduce him to you."

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

Pu Xianyu was really overjoyed at this time. She was originally just here to make up for the reputation of a tribute merchant, but because of her surname, she got the opportunity to be summoned by Pu Zongqing. She was so happy that she couldn't find her words for a while, and her mouth was grinning.

The root behind the ear is gone.

That night, Pu Xianyu handed over a 500 Beijing merchant's note to the house of Ha Qianzheng. He had a few acquaintances in Hanyang due to years of tribute work, and he was afraid that he would be able to meet Pu Zongqing after meeting Pu Zongqing.

He turned into a real tribute merchant and didn't come back all night.

Borrow money all over the world!

Anyway, seeing how he stayed up all night and was still in high spirits the next day, I knew that he had borrowed money from all his friends in Hanyang. I don’t know how much money he borrowed this time, but there were many people who followed him back.

There are six in total.

The followers who are nominally following him are actually supposed to be "bodyguards" with a huge amount of money, who are afraid that he will run away!

"You've spent a lot of money!" Hong Jinglai was stunned.

This man was willing to go out of his way. It was hard to say whether Pu Zongqing would like him, but he was actually ready. Hong Jinglai didn't ask him how much he had borrowed, but judging from his appearance, it was probably not tens of thousands.

The next day, news came from the Xuanhui Hall. After Pu Zongqing went to court, he would work in the Xuanhui Hall, and Pu Xianyu could come over and wait to see him.

"No need to modify it, handle it carefully!" Hong Jinglai sent the person inside and gave instructions in a low voice.

That He Qianzheng received five hundred taels from Pu Xianyu, but he didn't put on a dead face. Although his expression was indifferent, he explained the rules clearly and didn't use any official accent.

Hong Jinglai secretly gave him two hundred more. Although he was the same year as his teacher Min Jinghye, he was doing things for himself after all. Park Xianyu was introduced by Hong Jinglai, and Hong Jinglai knew all the rules.

After sitting in the official room for more than half an hour, Pu Xianyu was taken out again.

Needless to say, as soon as he entered the official room, Pu Xianyu's eyes began to have stars. He kept mumbling words such as "ancestors' blessings, ancestors' blessings", and he probably worshiped all the Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, and Allah in the sky.

"Pu Tai seems to have a bright eye!" Maybe Pu Xianyu will be a red-top businessman in the future, Hong Jinglai stood up and congratulated.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

"What did Pu Tai ask you?" Hong Jinglai had never interacted with this big boss who would dominate the court for more than ten years, so he was quite curious.

"Pu Tai was a little serious at first. He only asked about the youngster's name and family lineage. He didn't expect that the young great-grandfather had some connection with the Pu family of Pannan in the past."

"Yes." Hong Jinglai motioned for him to continue.

"After that, Pu Tai's mood became a little calmer, and he asked me how many years I had been in office and what was wrong with me. I answered truthfully.

Pu Tai then ordered someone to pick up the pictures of the people who had been on duty in the Xuanhui Hall in previous years. Naturally, the younger one's name was on the list.

This has been the skill of the young man's father and grandfather for several generations, and there is no way he can't handle it. No matter where Pu Tai points, the young man can answer it.

Pu Tai then nodded to the younger one and asked if he had the capital to handle the tribute mission and if he could handle it well."

"How can you answer that?"

"If you are a small person, the guarantee of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan is comprehensive, but if you are 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, you need to think about the time. No matter how small it is, it will be beyond your capabilities."

"Pu Tai is very satisfied?"

"Pu Tai ordered me to take charge of the tribute mission back to Donglai, and also gave me a new job." Pu Xianyu was really excited when he said this.

"What to buy?"

“Purchase various miscellaneous items and sacrifices for this year’s winter solstice ceremony!”

"It's not a big job, but it's a test for you!" Hong Jing came to understand.

Modern people don’t attach much importance to the Winter Solstice Festival, but now the Winter Solstice and Zhengdan are major festivals, and they all need to be held grandly.

Park Xianyu's job is a mess, and he needs a little bit of this and a little bit of that. There may be dozens of categories, big and small, and people who are not careful and shrewd may not be able to handle it.

"Pu Tai's instructions must always be carried out properly!" Pu Xianyu said with great confidence.

The two of them walked outside, talking and laughing. Who could have imagined that it would go so smoothly.

The people sitting outside the door had already gotten the news from the yamen. The Xuanhui Hall was like a broken barrel leaking air from all sides. As soon as Pu Xianyu was assigned to the Winter Solstice Festival, people outside knew about it.

While the two were talking in the office room for a while, they had already gone back to report to their respective bosses.

As soon as Pu Xianyu came out, more than ten or twenty people rushed to him, all saying congratulations. As Pu Zongqing's disciple, Pu Xianyu is now considered a "person" in Hanyang!
