【There is one more update in the middle of the night】
The star of the sky hangs high.
Under the gray night, a rock swayed up and fell silently next to it.
Sun Shaozong got out of the secret passage and saw that there was no one left or right, before returning the stone to its original position, Shi Shiran entered the study room.
There is still some time before dawn, but if I want to sleep again, it is definitely too late.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong sat in front of the desk after a simple wash. Although he had been 'moistening' and 'coloring' for a whole night, he did not write any serious words.
I simply took advantage of the time when it was going to be bright, and started to draw up a beginning, and when I got to Dali Temple, I could continue to write along this line of thought.
Since it is a brief outline and does not need that flowery writing style, Sun Shaozong is naturally a lot easier to write. Originally, he planned to start with just the beginning. Who would have thought that the more he wrote, the smoother he would write, but when he finally finished his writing, there were two Huanghuang on the paper. Thousands of words.
By this time it was already bright.
Sun Shaozong shook his sore wrist, took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, and found that it was already past 90 hours, and it was even close to [8:00 am] in the morning.
got~
I'm late again today.
But it doesn't matter. At the level of Sun Shaozong, as long as he doesn't arrive late and leave early every day, no one will make a fuss about it.
It was already too late anyway, so Sun Shaozong simply reviewed the outline twice, marked out several omissions one by one, and then made corrections beside him.
However, in this way, the articles that were not very neat at first seemed to be messy.
It seems that I have to transcribe it again so that I can show it to Yu Qian.
But if this continues to drag on, it will not be late, but absenteeism.
That's all~
After breakfast, go to the yamen and transcribe it.
Maybe halfway through, I can still think of a few areas for improvement.
After drying the newly added ink, and carefully rolling it into a ball in his hand, Sun Shaozong left the study and rushed to the front yard for dinner.
Who would have guessed that when he arrived at the front yard hall, before he had time to give orders to put down a light meal of eight dishes and two soups, Zhao Zhongji rushed in as if flying, shouting: "Second Master, look who is coming back. It's gone!"
Sun Shaozong looked at the prestige, but saw two people following him, namely Liu Quan, the former concierge of the Sun residence, and Cheng Rixing, the first master.
He hurriedly got up from his chair and quickly walked up to him—Liu Quan was fine, but Cheng Rixing was not a servant. This time he went to the south of the Yangtze River for more than two years, and he had worked so hard and deserved to be taken seriously by Sun Shaozong.
"I've seen Dongweng."
When Cheng Rixing saw Sun Shaozong coming over, he was about to bow down to greet him, but Sun Shaozong lifted him up, laughing and said, "Why do you and I have to be polite? Come on, come and sit inside - have you ever had breakfast? If not, then Eat with me."
As he spoke, he did not forget to turn his head to Liu Quan and said, "Come in too."
"You don't dare to overstep a small one."
Liu Quan smiled and pointed to Zhao Zhongji beside him: "If you want to hurt me, let me go to Butler Zhao's place to grab a few drinks of a good bar, sooth your throat first, and then report Nan Bian'er's errand to you carefully. ."
Since he said so, Sun Shaozong naturally wouldn't force it, he invited Cheng Rixing into the living room alone, and seated the guest and the host.
A servant of his own was making tea and pouring water. Sun Shaozong turned half-sideways, looked at Cheng Rixing, who was on the left, and said with a smile, "When we met in Jinling last time, didn't he say that he would not be able to return to Beijing until the beginning of next month? How come this time has come? "
"One is that the students' return is like an arrow, and the other is that the housekeeper Laiwang from Rongguo Mansion got off the passenger ship early, so Liu Quan and I came back."
"Actually, we arrived at Dongbianmen Wharf in the middle of the night last night, but the city gate was closed at that time, so we could not enter the city until morning."
Cheng Rixing's appearance was not much different from two years ago, but he looked a little tired.
In the past two years, the timber business in the south is mainly supported by him, and he has to travel between Zhoushan and Jinling from time to time. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is exhausted.
But looking at his eloquent talk, he was only physically exhausted, and his spirit was very high.
After chatting a few more times, Cheng Rixing took out the booklet from his sleeve and handed it to Sun Shaozong: "This is a summary of all the accounts, and I would like to ask Dong Weng to review it - I was in a hurry last time, and I didn't sort it out clearly. , this time it's finally the beginning and the end."
These four characters from the beginning to the end, obviously there is something in the words.
However, he worked hard for more than two years, didn't he just point to Sun Shaozong to recommend his family as an official
At this time, if he didn't make a side-by-side attack and remind Sun Shaozong to fulfill his promise, then it would seem that there is a ghost in his heart.
Sun Shaozong smiled and put the account summary lightly on the coffee table, but he didn't open it to check, instead he smiled: "These are not in a hurry to look at, but about Mr. Cheng's future, I have some other ideas here."
As soon as Cheng Rixing heard this, his heart thumped, and he thought to himself that Dongweng wanted to break his promise to gain weight
But Sun Shaozong's expression didn't seem to be the case.
So he asked cautiously, "But I don't know how Dong Weng arranged it?"
Sun Shaozong waved his hand: "I can't say the arrangement, I just have an intention. How to choose depends on your own intentions."
Speaking of which, he couldn't help but sighed and said, "Although I had a few wine bags and rice bags when I was in the Criminal Division, I can still serve in general, but this Dali Temple..."
After speaking, he stopped talking and shook his head helplessly.
Cheng Rixing was originally a clever man, and he had been practicing in Jiangnan for more than two years. He immediately understood what Sun Shaozong meant, and couldn't help but say with joy, "Dongweng... No, Lord Shaoqing meant that he wanted Cheng to go to Dali Temple? !"
"exactly."
Sun Shaozong nodded, raised his hand to stop Cheng Rixing's blurted answer, and reminded: "This matter has both disadvantages and advantages. Although Dali Temple is famous, it bears the name of the general constitution of the world, if you want to Arranging you to enter the Dali Temple, you must have some debts in terms of rank."
Some deficits in the grade
Cheng Rixing was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment with his brows fixed, and then asked cautiously, "But I don't know how many ranks Cheng can get when he joins the Dali Temple?"
"Eighth-rank, at most from seventh-rank, but the probability is not very large."
Cheng Rixing's brows furrowed even tighter. If he could be sure that he was from the seventh rank, he might not even hesitate.
However, between the eighth-rank petty officials and the seventh-rank magistrates, it was only after careful consideration.
The advantage of the former is that you can keep up with your boss, and there is no need to say more about your future and treatment.
The advantages of the latter are also real. The magistrate is also known as Bailihou. As long as it is not attached to the Guozhou mansion, it is a proper emperor.
These two options have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is no wonder that Cheng Rixing has difficulty making up his mind for a while.
Seeing that he couldn't make up his mind for a while, Sun Shaozong laughed again and said: "No hurry, no hurry, after you have thought about it carefully, you can make up your mind before it's too late-Come on, bring the wine and dishes, I want to drink a few times with Mr. Cheng. cup!"
