Farmer Fubo is open for business

Next, the No. 1 scholar was awarded the post of Editor and Editor of the Hanlin Academy, starting from the sixth rank; the No. 2 and the top prize were also assigned to the position of Editor and Editor of the Hanlin Academy respectively, and they were assigned official positions of the seventh rank. Their daily tasks were to sort out literary and historical materials, or draft imperial edicts for the emperor.

Even though the ranks of editors and editors in the Hanlin Academy are small, this is the ladder to enter the cabinet, and no one else can envy them.

There are also several second-class Jinshi who entered the Hanlin Academy for internship as Shujishi and will be assessed before the three-year examination.

If they excel in the assessment, they will be promoted to Hanlin editors or reviewers, and the rest will enter the Sixth Department or be sent to other places to serve as local officials.

The rest of the fellow Jinshis will report to the Ministry of Personnel. If there are candidates for positions of seventh, eighth or ninth grade, the Ministry of Personnel will arrange them.

After Wu Zhonglou reported to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he and other fellow Jinshi were assigned to study in various departments while waiting for official positions.

Seeing that May was approaching, peonies and peonies were in their late blooming stage. Chang'an and his little sister picked off all the peony and peony petals in the backyard, rinsed them clean, and spread them on large bamboo plaques to dry.

After the petals were dried, Changan mashed the petals in a stone mortar, mixed them with icing sugar and bean paste, wrapped them in pancakes and cooked them on the kang, and kept them for the Dragon Boat Festival.

"By the way, it seems it's Zhao Yuan's birthday soon, right?" Mrs. Jiang was sitting under the loofah rack, sorting dishes, and raised her head to ask her daughter, "Would you like to buy him a banquet to celebrate?"

Chang'an nodded: "Let's arrange it then. It happens to be the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May. Let's book two tables from the restaurant. I guess Zhang Yao and Sister Yuyan will also come to play."

Recently, Zhang Yuyan often came to Haitang Garden to talk to her. The reason was that after the Wang Pingting incident, she was a little afraid of attending the poetry and tea parties held by ladies.

"In that case, I have to make a reservation early." Mrs. Jiang said.

She also wants to cook it herself, but if she wants to invite people to dinner, the dishes in the restaurant are good-looking and well presented.

"Will uncle have a day off that day?" Chang'an turned to ask his aunt.

Madam Wu and Madam Jiang sat together to prepare the dishes, thought for a while and said, "I don't know either. I'll ask when he comes back."

Wu Zhonglou is currently living in Haitang Garden. Only after he is awarded an official position will the imperial court be able to allocate a residence.

Suddenly something occurred to Mrs. Jiang and she said, "If we can't take a bath that day, why not invite Mr. Lu too?"

Chang'an nodded: "Whatever you want."

Mr. Lu can be regarded as my uncle's mentor. Now he is serving in the Hanlin Academy. He has a promising future, so there is nothing wrong with getting closer to him.

However, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, both Zhang Yuyan and Zhang Yao came, and even the little princess Minghui sneaked over with her brother, but Lu Jingzhou did not come.

Wu Zhonglou was also puzzled. Although he had promised to come over for dinner on the Dragon Boat Festival, he was absent.

Everyone waited until noon. The food was heated up, but there was still no sign of Lu Jingzhou. Mrs. Jiang had no choice but to let the children's table eat first.

After waiting for a while, I saw a young boy running over in a hurry: "Hello, Mrs. Jiang, my master has something else to do today, so he can't come over for the time being. Please forgive me, Mrs. Jiang. The master said he will come over to apologize some other time."

This boy was a servant assigned to Lu Jingzhou by the imperial court. When he was about thirteen or fourteen years old, Lu Jingzhou renamed him Da Xing.

It was not easy for Mrs. Jiang to ask what was going on, so she had to let the children eat first, and politely asked the boy to stay and eat too.

The boy quickly excused himself: "Thank you, Mrs. Jiang, for your kindness. The master has important matters over there. It's inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I'll take my leave now!"

When Mrs. Jiang saw this, she no longer tried to hold him back, but just gave him a bag of candies.

The boy took it, thanked him, and quickly ran towards Lu Mansion.

It turned out that just as Lu Jingzhou was about to go out early this morning, someone patted the door of his courtyard: "Second Young Master, I have ordered my servant to invite you back to the house to discuss important matters."

Lu Jingzhou frowned and quickly walked out of the yard. He looked at the person who came. When he saw that it was indeed his father's long-term follower, he frowned even more: "How did you know I live here?"

Chang Sui smiled flatteringly and said, "The capital is so big. Isn't it unusual for me to know that you live here?"

"I have something to do today and I have to go to my father tomorrow." Lu Jingzhou said and asked Feng Shan to push the cart out. He was going to the Song family.

Chang Sui begged: "Second Young Master, I really have something important to do, otherwise I wouldn't have let my servants come to invite you. Just go back. It's still early, so with just a few words, you shouldn't be able to do it." Delaying your business."

As he said this, he stopped in front of the tricycle and refused to get out of the way.

Lu Jingzhou looked at the sky and saw that it was still early, so he got on the tricycle and asked Feng Shan to ride to Lu Mansion.

His new servant, Da Xing, ran behind the car.

The chief attendant came in a mule cart, and he couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the second young master would rather be a human-pulled third wheel than ride in a Lu family mule cart.

But at this time, Lu Jingzhou is no longer the person that Mrs. Lu can push him around. Even the eldest man who works in the Ministry of Etiquette is somewhat polite to him. I'm afraid there will be another stalemate on this matter today.

Arriving at the Lu Mansion, Lu Jingzhou asked Feng Shan to wait outside, and he woke up and walked into the house with his servant.

When I came to the main hall of the outer courtyard, I saw several people sitting in the room, all familiar faces from previous lives.

Lu Jingzhou couldn't help but sink his face when he saw Cai Fuge sitting at the top and Wang Ting next to him.

His father, eldest uncle and second uncle were all accompanying Cai Fuge. When they saw him coming in, they immediately said: "Jingzhou, come and see Mr. Cai Ge."

Lu Jingzhou walked over and gave his superiors a fist: "I have met Mr. Cai Ge."

He hugged Wang Ting again and said, "I have met Mr. Wang."

Mr. Cai Ge looked at him while stroking his beard, nodded slightly, and said in a gentle tone: "Is the Hanlin Academy busy with affairs? If you have any questions in the future, just ask me directly. I also stayed in the Hanlin Academy for a while, sorting out literary and historical books. It’s a bit of experience.”

"Thank you, Mr. Ge, for your kindness. I can still handle it." Lu Jingzhou replied calmly.

Mr. Cai Ge was also a man and could see the young man's alienation, but he thought that this was the nature of a genius young man, so he didn't care.

The two talked for a while, and Mr. Cai Ge said directly: "Jingzhou, I have a granddaughter who is one year older than you and has a good appearance. Why don't you guys meet her and see if you agree with her."

Lu Jingzhou sneered in his heart.

It was the same in his previous life. Not long after he entered the Hanlin Academy, Cai Fuge came to ask for his granddaughter's hand in marriage.

When he first arrived in the capital, he didn't understand Wang Pingting's character, so he got married to her with the help of his aunt and father.

It only took one month from the date of marriage to marriage.

Before the three matchmakers and six rituals were completed, the woman went directly to the Lu Mansion and blatantly moved into the courtyard arranged for her by her aunt.

During that time, I didn't live in the mansion, so I didn't know anything about it.

By the time they found out, rumors were already flying that Wang Pingting hated marrying and that she was already living with him.

Lu Jingzhou felt sick when he thought about this.

But at that time, I was still relatively new to the world, and had no idea that a woman could be so shameless. In order to find a decent family background for the child in her belly, and to prevent the Lu family from regretting their marriage, she deliberately spread rumors that she I have long been content with myself.
