On the third day after Qin He attended the Qionglin Banquet, his conferment documents came down. Like all previous top scholars in the new subjects, he eventually entered the Hanlin Academy of the Qing Dynasty and became a sixth-grade editor.

According to regulations, after receiving the conferment documents, new scholars are given a leave of up to three months so that they can return to their hometowns to arrange family affairs and take their families to take up their posts.

Three months of vacation may seem like a long time, but for those new scholars who are traveling far away, most of their time is spent on the road, leaving very little time for them to reunite with their loved ones and share the joy.

If you are unlucky, you may be stopped by a heavy rain or other accidents and unable to return smoothly. Therefore, some people do not dare to risk going home, so they can only repair a letter and send it back to their hometown, so that their relatives can go to Beijing or

Go to the place where they took office.

Qin He did not have such worries. On the day he received the conferment document, he visited the Zhunyue family and the Qin Mansion. The next day, he took the carriage arranged by the Zhunyue family and returned to Qingshan Village before the sun set.

On the way into the village, Qin He met villagers who were still working in the fields. Soon the news of his return home spread throughout the village, causing everyone to pick up their hoes and run after the carriage.

The more clever children ran to the Qin family's new house without waiting for instructions from adults, and started shouting at the top of their lungs when they were far away.

Qin Xiaoxiao was on her monthly vacation. She arrived home this morning and was cleaning the yard with a broom. After hearing the shouts outside, she dropped the broom and ran into the backyard: "Uncle San is back.

!Third uncle is back!"

Mr. Qin and others were planting jujube saplings in the backyard. When they heard the little girl's cry, they all hurriedly gathered around her: "Your third uncle is back? Where is he?"

Qin Xiaoxiao hurriedly shook his head: "Someone shouted outside, I don't know where the third uncle is."

After hearing this, Mr. Qin patted the dust on his hands, picked up his little granddaughter and walked out quickly. Seeing this, the others quickly put down their hoes and jujube saplings, and rushed up one by one, their faces all red with excitement.

.

After asking the children who came to report the news, everyone hurried to the entrance of the village and saw Qin He surrounded by a large group of old and young, asking some questions that they also wanted to know.

"What is brick repair? It means repairing broken bricks on the wall? You are a scholar and you finally became the number one scholar, so why do you want to work as a bricklayer again?" A deaf old man told Xiuzhan

Hearing that it was Xiuzhuan, he stared at Qin He nervously.

"Yeah, yeah, if I don't give you a big official, how can I let you repair bricks? This is outrageous!" Others only know the official positions of magistrate, magistrate, general, etc., and have never heard of xianzhuan.

After saying this, they thought that Qin He was going to repair the bricks, and they all complained for him.

Qin He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and explained in a gentle voice: "It's about compiling historical records, not repairing bricks."

When the villagers heard this, they knew that they had misunderstood, and they all laughed loudly: "I'm just saying, you are a top scholar, it's nonsense to ask you to repair bricks on the wall, it turns out that you are repairing books! It's good to repair books, that's it.

This is what a scholar should do!"

After knowing Qin He's official position, someone asked about the rank of the official position. When he learned that the compilation was from the sixth rank, which was only one level higher than the magistrate of Le'an County, he couldn't help but be disappointed: "How rare it is to be the number one scholar. How can this official rank be only higher than the rank of the magistrate of Le'an County?"

What about the county magistrate who is one level higher? Wouldn’t it be great if we could take the Juren exam like this? I heard that our Le’an county magistrate is from a Juren exam.”

This question is not easy to explain, so the driver who brought Qin He back said for him: "The county magistrate is a local official, and the editor is a capital official. Even though there is only one level difference between them, there is a lot of emphasis on it.

"

As the driver said, compilation is not of a high level, and those who are admitted to the Hanlin Academy must be a Jinshi, which means that the top talents in the world are gathered here.

It is a place that even the current emperor cannot ignore.

As long as you work through the qualifications honestly and do not commit any taboos, promotion every three years is inevitable. If you are lucky and get the opportunity to be promoted, you will be a fourth-rank Taoist official as soon as you get out, which is better than those who were born in Juren or even the same Jinshi.

I don’t know how much stronger the county magistrate was.

If you have better luck and make some achievements in the local area, you can be promoted to the rank of Minister of the Sixth Division or even the Minister of the Sixth Division in five or eight years, and step by step into the core of the court.

Even without such ambition, this future is much brighter than that of most people. There is almost no comparison between the two.

"So that's it...our champion scholar is really awesome!" After hearing the coachman's explanation, the villagers had a general understanding of the status of the Hanlin Academy, and then realized that it was a great place. They looked at Qin He for a moment.

He was full of awe, as if he had become a highly respected official.

Qin He was helpless and was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of Mr. Qin and others coming in a hurry from the corner of his eye. He immediately pushed aside the crowd and knelt down towards Mr. Qin and Mrs. Miao, kowtow deeply: "Father, mother!"

"Get up, get up!" Mr. Qin couldn't hide his excitement and personally stepped forward to help his youngest son up.

Mrs. Miao stood up on tiptoes and touched her youngest son's cheek, crying with joy: "Okay, okay!"

Qin Shan and others also had red eyes. They had waited too long for this day.

The villagers looked at this scene with emotion.

At this moment, they were suddenly grateful for the Qin family's persistence over the years. It was their insistence on letting Qin He study that led to today's No. 1 scholar winning six consecutive prizes, benefiting the Qin family and even the entire Qingshan Village.

There were many opportunities to say congratulations. Knowing that the Qin family had something to say behind closed doors, the villagers were very sensible and did not follow the Qin family to join in the fun. They said "congratulations" and went home separately. They will go to Qin again tomorrow.

The family asked about hosting a banquet for ancestor worship.

Although they knew about Qin He's appointment at the entrance of the village, the Qin family still asked excitedly over and over again. When they learned that the Zhuangyuan Mansion was given to Qin He to live in, everyone was even more excited.

I can't say anything else.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know what the Imperial Scholar's Palace represented, but she knew what her grandparents were worried about these days. She sat on Qin He's lap and said happily: "Third uncle, it would be great if you have a big house to live in the capital.

Yes, your grandparents were worried about not being able to rent a good house for you and your third aunt to live in before!"

Qin He was extremely ashamed. He looked at Mr. Qin and Mrs. Miao and said, "It's because my son is unfilial and makes his parents worried."

Mr. Qin waved his hand: "It's your honor to be able to live in a mansion granted by the emperor. Your mother and I can only be happy and have nothing to worry about."

Indeed, only the number one scholar has always been qualified to live in the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion. But if Qin He is not lucky enough to fall into the second place or third place in the ranking, he has to pay for renting a house to live in, and he may not be able to rent a good house.

Zhao Cao'er was eager to know the situation of the Number One Scholar's Mansion, and hurriedly asked the question she was most concerned about: "Third brother, how big is the Number One Scholar's Mansion, and can it accommodate so many people in our family?"

The intention of this question was so obvious that Mr. Qin and Mrs. Miao both frowned, and Qin Chuan started to curse: "You stinky bitch, we just built three brick and tile houses in our house and they are not enough for you to live in. Why are you thinking so much about it?"

The Third No. 1 Scholar’s ​​Mansion is here!”

Zhao Cao'er stood up in confusion and spat back with his hands on his hips: "Why do you mean I care about the third son's No. 1 Scholar's Palace? We have not separated our families. The No. 1 Scholar's Palace belongs to our family. I am also a member of the old Qin family. I belong to my own family.

Why can’t we stay?”

Seeing that his father and mother's expressions were not right, Qin Chuan hurriedly winked at Zhao Cao'er and kept chattering: "The third one is the one who got the No. 1 Scholarship, and the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion was also given to the third child to live in. What's the point of having a mother-in-law like you?

What's the matter? If our family really moves to the capital, what will we do with the more than ten acres of land at home? What will we do with the old jujube trees and the dozens of jujube saplings just planted in the new yard?"

Zhao Cao'er glared and said: "My parents built this house, don't we live together? Besides the land and jujube saplings, we can find two reliable waiters from the village. We can just pay them when the harvest is harvested. What else can we do?"

Feel at ease!"

"..."

Seeing that the couple was quarreling more and more fiercely, and it was because of himself, Qin He quickly stood up to stop it: "There is only one number one scholar's house, and only the number one scholar of the new branch can live there."

Qin Chuan and Zhao Cao'er, who had been singing for a long time, suddenly stopped singing as if someone had pinched their necks. Others didn't know that the new number one scholar could only live in the Number One Scholar's Mansion for three years, so they accepted it easily after the accident.

of this fact.

Only Zhao Cao'er, who had always wanted to go to the capital, felt very uncomfortable. After a while, he asked with difficulty: "You can only live in this No. 1 scholar's mansion for three years?"

Qin He explained with some embarrassment: "The capital is expensive, but there is only one champion every three years."

If every number one scholar had a palace where he could live for a long time, then the palace would probably have to be built outside the capital. Besides, the royal palace symbolizes the status of the number one scholar and the court's emphasis on talents. More

It means nothing.

Zhao Cao'er sat back on the chair, slapped his thighs and shouted angrily: "Is it easy for our family to provide a top scholar? Why can't we provide a house that can last for a long time? It's really stingy!"

Qin He's expression suddenly changed, and for the first time he shouted sternly at Zhao Cao'er: "Second sister-in-law, be careful what you say!"

Mr. Qin also reacted, stood up suddenly and walked to the door with an ugly face. After making sure that there was no one outside the yard and there were no sounds from the neighbors, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the main room, but his face was still ugly.

Zhao Cao'er realized that she had said the wrong thing, her face turned red and white, and she said to Mr. Qin tremblingly: "Dad, I didn't keep my mouth shut. I know I was wrong!" After that, she slapped herself hard.

Mouth: "I told you to talk too much, I told you to talk too much!"

Qin Chuan's face was also very ugly. He glared at Zhao Cao'er fiercely and interceded for her: "Father, third brother, you also know this woman's temper. She just can't speak without thinking. She doesn't have the intention to do anything for our family."
