Tang Ji repeatedly assured Jiu'er that he had not done anything excessive to Jiang Ran last night, so the little girl let him go with half-belief and doubt, and walked out of the house without turning around.
She stepped out of the door, turned around and said to the room: "Uncle, if Miss's belly gets bigger, I will never give up!"
"Okay, let's go have breakfast." The blush on Jiang Ran's face did not fade away, and he pulled her away quickly.
Tang Ji breathed out thick air. It seemed that the reason why he sneezed continuously just now was because the window was not closed last night, but this was not the reason why Jiu'er could spy on him. He had to talk to Jiang Ran later and let her teach that dead girl.
Etiquette, shook his head, picked up the towel in the tub again and planned to wash his face.
Li Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and poked his shoulder with a wicked smile: "Hey, you are already sleeping with Sister Jiang and you don't take her down. You are really not a man!"
Tang Ji wiped his cheeks and immediately felt much refreshed. He put the towel back into the basin and sneered: "Haha, a certain person and General Song were childhood sweethearts, but they hesitated for a long time to hold his hand and still had the nerve to criticize me.
"
"What do you know? There are differences between men and women. How can I hold her hand at will?" Li Yu replied with his head held high.
Tang Ji shook his head. He had seen this guy holding Song Yao's hand before, but Song Yao almost subconsciously threw him over his shoulder. However, he was too lazy to expose the other person and picked up the bronze mirror on the table to straighten it.
I cut my hair, turned around and walked outside the house.
In Li Yu's mind, he also recalled the scene where Song Yao almost broke his waist. He couldn't help but shuddered and quickly chased after him: "By the way, the official department sent the official award document not long ago, but strangely there was no
You were recruited into the Ministry of Household Affairs and changed to the Ministry of Works."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of thickened off-white rice paper from his sleeve and handed it over.
Tang Ji slowed down, reached out to take it, browsed through the contents, and murmured: "It must have been the old eunuch, no wonder he let me go easily last night, forget it, the Ministry of Industry will be the Ministry of Industry.
"
He folded up the transfer order and put it away, but then he remembered something and turned to Li Yu and asked: "What grade of official is this farm chief?"
It's a coincidence that he is the chief in the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce, and his power is second only to Yue Shuhua, and now he has to be the chief of the imperial court, so his rank should not be too low!
But the next second, Li Yu's answer poured cold water on him.
"Ranked in the ninth rank." Li Yu said calmly.
Ninth grade?
Sesame official?
Tang Ji stopped, with a look of doubt in his eyes, and asked again: "The lowest official rank in the imperial court is not ten or eleven, right?"
"Of course not, the ninth rank is the lowest." Li Yu shook his head, touched his chin and thought for a while, then added: "The heads of each department had no rank before. They were promoted to the ninth rank after my father ascended the throne.
However, there is also a gap in rank between the chiefs. For example, most of the chiefs of the Ministry of Rites are in the eighth rank. Chief Liu of the Treasury Department under the Ministry of War has made great achievements in the past and was specially promoted to the rank of seventh rank."
Tang Ji's face was full of helplessness. The "Green Crops Law", "Fangtian Tax Equalization Law" and so on he told the old guy last night were all part of Wang Anshi's reform. Wang Anshi was the prime minister, so he didn't even ask for a breath.
You can climb so high, but you won’t be able to become a ninth-grade official!
Thinking of this, he frowned and complained: "It's a loss, a loss of blood!"
"It's a loss? It's not a loss! The imperial court selects officials through the imperial examination. It is rare to recruit officials specially. Those selected by the emperor's father's order are even rarer. You have traveled a lot less than others. Even if you are every
The top scorer in a new subject in the next imperial examination must first study in the Hanlin Academy for two or three years. In these two or three years, you may have climbed up!" Li Yu explained patiently.
Tang Ji sighed, unwilling to mention the matter again, and walked towards the main courtyard.
The main courtyard of Prince You's Mansion is the largest courtyard in the entire mansion. There is a lobby at the front and back, connecting the east and west courtyards on the left and right. Corridors are built around it. There is a small pool in the center, and there are many green plants nearby.
There are mostly orchids, an ancient tree is planted on the right, there is an old hanging basket under the tree, and there is a small pavilion in the corner on the left.
At this time, Tang Ji was sitting in the pavilion eating breakfast, took a bite of a bun, and asked Li Yu: "Why is your main courtyard the same as other people's backyards?"
"I like it!" Li Yu took a mouthful of porridge, but his expression was a little melancholy, but he hid his mood in time, raised his head, and asked with a smile: "What are your plans next?"
Tang Ji finished the buns on hand, blew on the hot porridge on hand, and replied: "I'll go out for a walk in a while, Pan's shop, I'm going to open Ji Ran's bookshop, and then I'll see if I can find a suitable mansion, right?"
I don’t have much money with me, please lend me some.”
"Where's the Ministry of Industry? Are you planning to disobey the emperor's order? That's a capital crime!" Li Yu asked anxiously.
"Why are you so anxious? Doesn't it say on the document that you should report to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry within ten days?" Tang Ji replied casually, took the chopsticks and stuffed the side dishes into his mouth.
Hearing this, the corner of Li Yu's mouth twitched. If it had been anyone else, he might have gone to work the next day. Why do you feel that he is not important here at all?
However, he also found a suitable reason to be lazy, and agreed with a smile: "My father appointed me the Young Minister of Dali Temple, and also asked me to go within five days. It seems that I can rest for a few more days, which can help me."
I'll help you, but don't think about the money. After I left Kyoto, all my properties were closed down. Now I have nothing but a palace. As for the palace, you hit Zhang Yijun again this time. He will definitely not give up and stay here first.
Just stay with me."
Tang Ji turned his head and looked at Jiang Ran, who was chatting and laughing with Song Yao under the long pavilion in the distance. He nodded silently. Compared with finding a mansion by himself, Prince You's Mansion was indeed much safer. He picked up the porcelain bowl and took the last sip from the bowl.
After finishing the porridge, he remembered what Li Yu had just said and couldn't help but ask: "What rank is the young minister of Dali Temple?"
Li Yu glanced at him: "From the fifth rank, aren't you known as a scholar? Why don't you know anything?"
After hearing his answer, Tang Ji's face suddenly darkened. Sure enough, his biological son is his biological son. He can get a fifth-grade official position without doing anything. Ordinary people may not be able to climb up to it in their lifetime. He couldn't help but murmured: "
The joys and sorrows are indeed different from person to person!"
Li Yu crossed his arms across his chest and blinked: "How about I go tell my father and ask him to remove Chen Jue and directly let you take the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry?"
"It's not necessary to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, just the Minister of the Ministry of Industry." Tang Ji nodded seriously.
Li Yu's face changed slightly. Who among the fourth-grade ministers didn't climb up after years of hard work? How could he just give it to him? Then he looked directly at Tang Ji and said, "I think it will be easier for us to rebel. Then you can do it."
