If you eat too much crab roe dipping sauce, it is easy to have diarrhea. Fortunately, Jia Cong is not greedy, and the average yellow wine level is not high. Even if a child drinks a little, it will not hurt his body. The next day, Qingwen was still laughing when she was sleeping. Jia Cong covered her with a quilt, and Xiangling came in to take care of her clothes and wash, and asked Sun Fu to go to Neiyi Gate on the East Road to reply. They ran to Nancheng and rode a gentle home to raise horses.

When he arrived at Qin Mansion, Qin Ye wore the second-rank civil servant's golden pheasant uniform, with bright and dazzling front and back. When he entered the house to talk, Jia Cong congratulated him: "Has the teacher been promoted? That's right, he should be promoted in six years."

"The Left Minister of Works, is actually not very elegant." Qin Ye shook his three-foot long sleeves and sat down: "The Department of Construction and Repair is responsible for palaces, tombs, city walls, mandalas, temples, warehouses, palaces, barracks, palaces, palaces, palaces, palaces, palaces, palaces, palaces, palaces, musical instruments, ceremonies, and prison tools. The Department of Works is in charge of all officials in the world and the government orders of mountains and lakes. Even if he is the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty and ranks at the end of the Six Ministry, he is despised and only receives more salary."

"It's not that the Qing Dynasty needs the department, but the Ministry of Works is also one of the nine ministers. The Minister of the Ministry of Commerce is a first-rank official. No wonder the student came back this time and his mansion was completely renewed. The minister was better than the doctor." Jia Cong looked at the enlarged mansion and thought that it was easy for the water conservancy engineering department to be at the deputy minister level. It was indeed easy to make some money. No wonder modern officials said, "A person can't manage it even if he wants to manage it."

The reason why my teacher died of illness in one go was also because of his old age. The most important thing was that his own son Qin Zhong made him extremely disappointed. He did not make progress in his career and lingered in nuns. He felt that he was hopeless. Although the average life expectancy in ancient times was low, for the bureaucratic class, it was not difficult to live in the age of sixty or seventy. Qin Ye was close to fifty years old, and he was still around seventy.

"The Ministry of Works is not like this, all officials are ashamed of being with each other." Qin Ye shook his head: "During the Xuande period, Lu Xiang, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, Kuai Xiang, the carpenter of the orthodox Ministry of Works, was born in the carpenter of the Ministry of Works, and Wan Qi, the Minister of Chemical Industry, was just a clerk of a county government office, and the Minister of Works, was also a carpenter... When he was in court, he was squeezed behind, and the nine ministers... the Ministry of Works was not worthy of his name, so it is safest to take the exam for a Jinshi, and you can go to any department."

"I remember Pan Jixun is not a craftsman." Jia Cong said that even the first-class Jinshi looked down on the third-class Jinshi, not to mention that the ordinary Jinshi looked at the craftsmen. It would be strange if they didn't squeeze them behind. They were gentle, respectful, frugal, hehe, just talk.

"Pan Jixun is a famous master of river management who was a master of the two-row list, and he was transferred from the Grand Secretary of the Ministry of Justice." Qin Ye said: "I was promoted to the Minister of the Secretariat, and I was specially scribbled by the Emperor. Shan Ziye, the craftsman you have ever met, was ranked alongside me as the Right Secretariat. The temple was built and buried in peace in the future. You can also be buried according to the first-class etiquette, which is considered a regret in this life."

"The teacher said this is still far away. Haven't the senior brother been a scholar? Is there a time to enjoy the future?" Jia Cong asked Qin Ye for some current affairs and discussions. The palace examination was scheduled for April 21, and time was tight.

If the tribute scholars do not take the palace examination or the court examination, they will never become Jinshi. If they are caught between the juren and the Jinshi, some tribute scholars will always become tribute scholars. Although the palace examination does not take the Four Books and Five Classics, they will turn to actual political strategies, the second and third grades of the court examinations, including the regular examinations of the Hanlin Academy, are mainly based on the Four Books and Five Classics, which eliminates people who do not have real talent and knowledge.

"When I was a lecturer since I was a child, I held lectures from time to time. When Long Qian was in the world, I had to be more practical in the policy and discussion. Maybe I would add a few poems and essays." Qin Ye looked through the copy and put on his glasses: "There are eight ministers who read the document in the diary. The Ministry of Rites issued a list and selected the six ministers of the Jinshi, the Minister of the Censorate, the Left Censor of the Censorate, the Left Deputy Censor of the Cabinet..."

"The cabinet minister Zhang Fenyi is on the list, Jiangxi is on the list, and the teacher and Liu Dongsheng are on the list..."

Jia Cong was shocked. When the palace examination was held, the first one was the diary. Jia Zheng was the only one who received the diary. Jia Zheng was now serving as the Henan Academy of Education, so this was the first time he heard the news. Since the palace examination was nominally the emperor was the chief examiner, it was called reading papers rather than reading papers. The reading papers of the ministers who read papers were divided equally first, followed by the turn to watch, and finally the table was transferred. The score verification was generally carried out by the chief minister.

This year's Bingzi Palace Examination, the selection and deduction and ranking were in the hands of the cabinet minister Zhang Fenyi. When the Jinshi met the emperor, he must be the small Chuanlu and Chuanlu after the exam.

"Oh... the student bought two Northeast century-old ginseng from the Xue family store to replenish the teacher's body." Jia Cong said: "I have asked the servants to transfer it to the butler."

"Why do you have to spend money? I have already looked at Dr. Wang from Dafangmai (Director of Internal Medicine) of the Tai Hospital. It's not a big deal." Qin Ye was slightly calm and had a kind of student who refused to recognize the teacher, and even turned against him because of political interests. He was glad that Jia Cong was not like a ungrateful wolf, and wanted to talk about the situation of several princes, but he felt it was too early and asked him to go down to find Qin Zhong.

A garden was added behind Qin Mansion. Jia Cong and Qin Zhong talked for a long time, left the study room, and walked through a pedestrian garden. The summer flowers were brilliant and the lotus leaves were green. Qin Keqing and two girls were fishing for fish. Qin Zhong looked polite: "What flowers do you like?"

Jia Cong thought about it and said, "The lotus, peony and peach blossoms are all good."

"Since Li Tang came, people love peonies very much. I happened to ask my father for a few jars of peonies in Caozhou, that one is bright." Qin Zhong said.

"Only the peony is true, and the flowers bloom in the capital." Qin Keqing moved the fishing rod and said in his mouth: "Why no one loves chrysanthemums? He would rather die by holding the fragrance on the branches than blowing down the north wind."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "I can't appreciate the chrysanthemums. Let Tao Yuanming go and enjoy them. People love beauty, peach blossoms and peonies are all beautiful."

"Your sister looks like Jasmine... Isn't my sister just a peach blossom?" Qin Zhong said in a low voice, and Qin Keqing asked, "What are you talking about?" The two of them kept silent.

...

Mingshun had a developed commodity economy, and there were shops in front of the government offices and counties in various places, and these shops must have something to do with the yamen. The plaintiffs and defendants who filed lawsuits had to invite people in the yamen to have a drink and dinner.

Take the capital city as an example. On both sides of the main Qipan Street are the locations of the Beijing Yamen, including the military personnel of the Censorate, Shuntian Mansion, and Qian Street shops, which are lined up one after another, and cannot be squeezed out. They use copper or tin, and they want to be bigger than each other. The same is true for Zhengyangmen East Street, Xuanwumen West Small City, and Chongwenmen East Small City.

Many of the paved corridors surrounded the railings and covered with eaves. The outer eaves stretched out far away. The roads became narrower and narrower. The roads between the corridors were covered with wind and rain. At that time, people who wrote local chronicles and capital city clans said sadly and angryly: What are the streets and alleys today, and what are the streets and alleys in the past? The day is rushing and narrow, like erosion.

Juren from all over the world gathered in the capital, all kinds of alleys, restaurants, teahouses, near Zhengyangmen, as far as Nancheng Jinyu Pond, Guanxiang, and neighbors. You can see the figures of Juren who were rare in the past. Jia Cong, who had the title of five yuan, and the news about the palace examination were all their topics of conversation.

Until April 21, the palace examination began.
