Chapter 275: Misfortune (Part 1)

"Two sirs, there is a garment room in front of you. Please follow me in!" He and Ma did not seem to see the expressions of the two of them. The eunuch led the way quietly. When he approached the garment room, he spoke out to remind him.

The Condor and Ma Yuan looked up at the building in front of them and saw that the building was just an ordinary workshop with ordinary decoration and layout, which was incomparable to the palaces passing by.

There are eunuchs and palace servants working here. As soon as they enter the garment room, a faint incense comes to their faces.

The clothes in the palace came from here, but there was a special person to make the official robes. The eunuch led the two to a room and talked to the female official in charge.

Knowing that these two were school officials who were appointed by the King Shang, the female officials did not dare to neglect them, but the official robes were customized, so there was no trouble. After checking the size, they ordered people to take the official robes that matched the size and handed them over to He Ma and the others.

The two of them did not dare to stay here for a long time. They got the official robe and left. When they arrived at the imperial city outside, they opened the small bag. Inside was a confession from the Ministry of Personnel, which was the diploma of being an official.

According to the Chu system, the official position was given according to the level of the official position he was given, and was written in various colors of silk. The ninth rank official was white plain silk, and it was not directly inside the bag, but was filled with a brocade bag.

There is another one that is a silver note, which can be withdrawn by one hundred taels of silver.

When I arrived at the gate of the imperial city, the carriage was still there when I came. When I saw it coming out, the carriage drove the carriage over.

"Two sirs, please get on the carriage." The two got on the carriage. The carriage turned around and headed outside. There were two cavalrymen accompanying the carriage. Although they were not as strong as when they arrived, they also gave them face.

Just as the two were in the car, the ordinary people could not see a ball of white air on the top, and they found it. A vague golden seal was floating, and the white air condensed on it, constantly filling it with the golden seal.

I had nothing to say all the way, and it took a long time to return from the inner city to the outer city. In addition, I had already passed by noon when I returned to the Cai Family Inn.

The carriage stopped in front of the Caijia Inn, and the cavalry following the carriage reminded in front of the window: "Two adults, you have arrived at the place."

As soon as the car door opened, the congratulatory letter and Ma Yuan walked down from the carriage one after another.

"Sir, since we have been sent to the inn, we will go back to report." The cavalry bowed to the two and left quickly with the empty carriage.

Looking at the direction they left, the congratulatory letter was like Ma Yuan's dream.

In just this day, he obtained the ninth-rank official from an ordinary scholar?

The two of them were in a daze for a moment, not knowing that as soon as the carriage was parked in the inn, they were discovered and their conversation with the cavalry was heard.

The eunuch of the palace came to pass the imperial edict. The person who didn't know about it at that time also learned about it from others, and then heard two soldiers shouting: "Sir!"

Is it that I have obtained an official position?

Therefore, when the two returned to the Cai Family Inn, they were envious, surprised and jealous.

The inn owner's surname is Cai, and his grandchildren have run inns for three generations. By this generation, the Cai family inn is quite large, with twenty men under his command and three branch numbers. The main account here is the main account, and there are also some scholars among the people who come and go, but it is the first time that they can be summoned by the king and sent to the inn.

As early as when Mr. Qian wassuing the imperial edict, Boss Cai and Manager Yu were busy together. After He and Ma left, he was even more restless.

When the two came back, Boss Cai was drinking tea in his room. Manager Yu was standing and was saying, "Boss, don't worry, these two people have been summoned. It's a good thing to say that even if there is any mistake, it has nothing to do with the Cai family inn, right?"

"You are right. I'm not worried about any mistakes. I'm thinking that these two people can be summoned by the king, just those with basic things. If they can leave some magic treasures, the past scholars will come, this is a topic of conversation. Can the inn benefit from some wealth, right?"

Boss Cai has this plan, and since he hopes that the two of them will return soon, he also sent a friend to wait.

At this time, a friend came in from outside and said to Boss Cai and Manager Yu: "Boss, Manager Yu, they are back!"

When Boss Cai heard this, he hurriedly walked out, and Manager Yu and his friend followed behind.

When I left the home to rest, I was in the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant. At this time, the Congratulatory Letter and Ma Yuan were walking in from outside.

As soon as he saw what the two of them were in their hands, Boss Cai opened his eyes wide, hurriedly walked forward, and said, "Congratulations to both gentlemen, no, congratulations to both sirs!"

Boss Cai had some knowledge and could see what the official uniforms they were holding in their hands meant. Boss Cai shouted loudly: "Come on, hurry up, treat a banquet and wash the two adults. You must be in the second floor private room!"

After hearing the congratulatory letter and Ma Yuan refused, he said, "How can this be done?"

"Two sirs, this is a little bit of intention. I dare not harm the sirs of the breeze of the two sirs. I only ask the two sirs to keep the magic treasures so that my hotel can benefit from it."

Boss Cai was hard to refuse his affection. In addition, he stayed in the hotel for half a month and was usually taken care of by Boss Cai, so he was not easy to object. Their official position this time was not a secret, so there was no need to be too careful, so he thanked him with a smile.

Boss Cai immediately smiled like a flower on his face and said to He Ma and the others: "Two sirs, please come upstairs."

Although the official positions He and Ma were only in the ninth rank, they were also in the ninth rank. Boss Cai had no official positions at this level when interacting with each other. They were only in the ninth rank. One was Jian Zai’s heart and the other was just a lower-level turbid official. This is different.

Although these two people are not young, they are summoned by the King himself and have a bright future in the future. If they don’t contact us at this time, how can it be his turn in the future?

Just keep a Baomo and a post, maybe it will save a lot of trouble in the future. Thinking of this, Boss Cai was even more careful to talk with the two of them.

Under the guidance of the guy, the three of them went up the second floor and their figures disappeared from the stairs.

The drinkers who saw this scene on the first floor whispered, and some of them saw the scene of sending orders. When they said this, many guests suddenly became amazed.

Among these people, a few scholars mixed together and also knew about this. Listening to the discussions of the people around them, their faces showed envy, jealousy and resentment.

However, Ma Yuan is a local, and congratulatory letters are specially invited, which are somewhat famous among scholars.

Several scholars present had heard of the congratulatory letter and Ma Yuan. At this time, they were very envious, but they did not dare to show it.

Generally speaking, children from poor families want to make a name for themselves and show their ambitions, relying on the imperial examinations. Although the Chu Dynasty had already had imperial examinations, it was a long time for every three years.

It was just that the King of Chu had the intention of ascending the throne and must have a grace certificate, so many people were waiting.

The family background of Congratulations and Ma Yuan were not rich. Even though there were scholars from his ancestors, they were still studying, but now they have become an official.

"...I heard that these two people were recommended by the prime minister and summoned by the king, but I didn't know if they had seen them. But seeing the official uniforms in hand, we had probably seen them. We had never even seen them at the palace gate. I was really envious!" In the restaurant, someone whispered to the good luck of the two.

But I didn't know that such words made a reader in a green robe look slightly changed.

This scholar sat by the window. He was not very old and looked in his early twenties. He was fair and gentle.

He looked up at the entrance of the stairs, thought for a while, and finally stood up and walked behind.

In the Plum Blossom Accord on the second floor, Boss Cai was the host, and the banquet was held and congratulatory letters and Ma Yuan were invited.

The second floor was separated by the screens. It was already noon after that. With an empty seat, Boss Cai served black bone fish, flower soup, and tremella, and wine.

It was snowing heavily at this moment, but there were braziers upstairs, and the wine was hot, and there were friends to serve him at any time. Boss Cai and Manager Yu accompanied him, and several people sat in the restaurant to enjoy the scenery and chat. They were already drunk and hot.

The atmosphere in the private room is harmonious, the family background of Congratulations and Ma Yuan are not rich, and they make many friends on weekdays. When chatting with others, one is gentle and the other is calm and resolute, and their words and demeanors all give people a sense of extraordinaryness.

A drink of wine made everyone feel refreshed.

Boss Cai took out the ink pen, but the two of them refused. They wrote each with a big stroke. After finishing writing, the congratulatory letter and Ma Yuan stood up to say goodbye.

Boss Cai knew that the two were going to go back to rest, and saw that they were drunk, he hurriedly told the clerk: "You send the two adults back, remember to add hot water and tea."

The guy quickly responded and went out. The congratulatory letter and Ma Yuan were not pretentious. He thanked Boss Cai directly and walked out slowly.

You can walk directly to the backyard on the second floor, so there is no need to go down to the first floor and go around in front.

After leaving the restaurant, I walked on the stone road, the trees were shining under the snow, and it was already afternoon when I saw the sky. I had eaten this meal for quite a while.

The Hexin and Ma Yuan walked side by side on the road. Looking at the guy leading the way in front of them, both of them were silent, not knowing what they were thinking, but they were not the only one on the road.

When many people approached, they recognized the congratulatory letters and Ma Yuan and the others. They had to look at them more often. However, there was only one person who came forward to talk to him.

Looking at a scholar in a small pavilion, they saw him. Although he didn't know someone, they could not pretend to have never met him. The letter of congratulations and Ma Yuanchao gave him a hand.

When the scholar saw the two of them responding to him, he walked towards them directly. When he got closer, he saw clearly the person's appearance. He was wearing a long gown of Confucian scholars, with beautiful facial features, slightly white skin, and a gentle look.

"The two are Brother He and Brother Ma?" The Confucian scholar stepped forward and smiled and bowed: "I live near the two courtyards, so why not go back together?"

The Congratulatory Letter and Ma Yuan were not surprised that the other party recognized him, and everyone in the neighborhood knew about the issuance of the imperial edict from Eunuch Qian.

When I saw that there was only one Confucian scholar, I felt happy again, and smiled at the congratulatory letter, "I wonder what this person is called?"

"Don't let your surname be Li." The Confucian scholar said.

"Since Mr. Li's residence is not far from our two-person courtyard, it is very good to go back together." The congratulatory letter said.

"Mr. Li, please." Ma Yuan said.
