Jia Shu was a female official who had just been admitted to the Ministry of Revenue. She was named the head of the Corps and worked under Yun Shang. She had no special background in her family. She was rich in business, but had a low status.
Although Jia Shu is a newcomer in the officialdom, he has a very eye-catching attitude in dealing with people and things. After a while, he has gained Yun Shang's trust. In addition to the daily official duties of the Ministry of Personnel, she often lets her run errands and send messages.
She has little experience, and this time the female official's performance was not her turn, but Yun Shang brought her by her side and insisted on opening her eyes.
The Interior Office like her did not arrange a special residence for small officials. She had to eat and live with the maids brought by the head of the department in the past two days. She didn't feel wronged. Instead, she was excited because she had the opportunity to witness the performance appraisal process first.
After two or three days of getting along, in addition to taking care of Yun Shang, she has become familiar with some female officials.
On this day, the performance exam was over, Yun Shang asked her to send a letter to Gu Qingyin and test whether Gu Qingyin would attend the night banquet.
Jia Shu knew that Gu Qingyin had the prime minister's eye and was excluded by Yun Shang, so he was extremely cautious when he started this job.
Seeing that the exam was over, she took advantage of the crowd and approached Gu Qingyin, quickly stuffed a note into her hand and said intimately: Lord Gu, you must come to the dinner party Ah
Gu Qingyin looked at her in a daze, not understanding what she was doing, but nodded
At the dinner, she was arranged to wait in the corner of the hall with the minions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Personnel, waiting for the dispatch at any time.
Soon, Yun Shang waved her over and whispered to her. Then, she saw Gu Qingyin stroking the piano and retreating, and went to the side hall to change her clothes.
She followed along, and there were many female officials standing in the side hall, all of whom were in a hurry to change their clothes, and there were maids serving her next to her, so she didn't attract any attention when she went in.
Lord Gu: Gu Qingyin just changed her head and walked out after obeying the screen, Jia Shu bowed aside.
Seeing that she was dressed up, she looked like a female official, Gu Qingyin asked: Are you?
Jia Shu smiled and said: Lord Gu doesn’t need to know the little name. I am sending a message to Lord Zhang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Gu Qingyin frowned, Lord Zhang?
Lord Zhang has always admired Gu’s talent and learning. He will give a first couplet on the table later. I hope that Lord Gu can give the second couplet. Jia Shu bowed and said
Gu Qingyin said in surprise: Do you still have to check couplets on the table?
Yes, this is a special new one this year.
Jia Shu paused and said: I specially made the adults happy
Gu Qingyin's thoughts changed. She vaguely remembered what the Minister of Revenue was probably like. She was not young anymore and had no contact with her on weekdays. Now she suddenly sent someone to admire her talent. It was really strange.
Since this is the case, anyone can do it, right? Why does Lord Zhang need to designate me?
Jia Shu's heart thumped, and he lowered his head, thinking about what to do to get rid of it.
OK, since Lord Zhang specifically asked you to come here, you will report to him now. Thank you for your kindness and will make you ugly on the table later. Gu Qingyin tidied up her clothes and said to Jia Shu
Jia Shu was naturally happy after Gu Qingyin's promise, and he calmly stepped down respectfully.
Gu Qingyin turned her head and there was no one in the side hall. She stepped out of the hall gate and unexpectedly ran into someone head-on.
The man was quite tall and did not look up, but said in a hoarse and low voice: Lord Gu is so proud, but still remember Lord Li Chengfeng?
Gu Qingyin was shocked, you...
The man stopped talking and turned around and ran to the other side of the side hall. His tall figure quickly merged into the heavy night.
Gu Qingyin was still in shock until she sat back to the original position of the main hall.
Of course she is familiar with the name Li Chengfeng, but hasn't he been demoted to the border town long ago? The person just now... was clearly threatening her.
Although Gu Qingyin has been an official for many years, it is the first time she has encountered a threat in front of her. Moreover, she is a woman after all. No matter how intelligent she works, she will inevitably feel a little panicked at this time.
In order to calm herself down as soon as possible, she looked around and the atmosphere in the hall was still warm, even too warm. Some female officials were held by the superiors and drank and laughed loudly.
There were forty or fifty female officials participating in the performance examination, but at this time there were only about thirty people in the hall. Some female officials did not even change their clothes and wore exposed dance skirts and leaned close to the superior's arms.
She was preparing to show her piano skills before, but she didn't care at all. After seeing this, she couldn't help but feel strange and a little embarrassed.
Her eyes twitched slightly, and her hands pressed on the table. Is this a female official?!
Looking around, she found that the female officials around her were not very familiar with her. Li Jinglan and Chen Muwan, who had been close to her before, did not show up.
Lu Qingfeng, who had just returned to her seat, looked at her and smiled and said: Oh, Lord Gu, I thought you were gone.
Gu Qingyin said: A good dinner, why should I leave?
As soon as she finished speaking, the palace gate was closed with force and made a loud noise. She was stunned and her heart was beating wildly
Outside Guanghan Tower, the moonlight is light and clear as water
Han Jinqing sent the emperor and Concubine Pang back to her residence, but returned, but stopped in the Jiuqu corridor near the waterfall.
In the dark night, a lively figure approached him and bowed in front of him and said: The Prime Minister's voice is crisp and moving.
Han Jinqing's robe was swelled by the mountain wind, and her handsome face was hidden in the shadows under the corridor. It's time, are you here to wait for your true appearance?
