The Ye Xiaotian idea has decided that causes with the official documents that Ministry of Appointments is issuing, by Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi accompaniment, went to Nanjing Ministry of Appointments to walk, got the certificate of appointment and official's costume comes back. Next morning, Ye Xiaotian changes the official's costume, is leading Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi then rushed to Ministry of Appointments. 叶小天主意已定,使拿着吏部下发的公文,由华云飞和毛问智陪同,去南京吏部走了一趟,领了告身和官服回来。次日一早,叶小天换上官服,领着华云飞和毛问智便奔了吏部。 Ye Xiaotian wears a green robe, wears the generating angle headwrap head, on the remedial work is embroidering a paradise flycatcher. This is design on not the popular mixed duty civil official ceremonial garment of Qing dynasty officials, in turn upward, 9th grade is the quail, eight are the oriole, seven is xi chi, six are the egret, if Ye Xiaotian can in three years only be small the paradise flycatcher to turn into the long leg thin egret chest front that his only „beast” even practices successfully, can bring her home. 叶小天穿着一袭绿袍,头戴展角幞头,补子上绣着一只练鹊。这是不入流的杂职文官补服上的图案,依次往上,正副九品是鹌鹑,正副八品是黄鹂、正副七品是鸂鶒,正副六品是鹭鸶,如果叶小天能在三年之内把胸前那只小练鹊变成长腿细项的鹭鸶,他这只“禽兽”就算修练成功,可以抱得美人归了。 The government position establishment of Great Ming are actually not many, the service that draws salary from the royal government are not many, therefore yamen (government office) at all levels have massive making up services and deputies, this was even picked pockets to raise by the place government authorities local officials personally, so long as you could raise, naturally can have the partner after large number of saddle lead horse to work as. 大明的官职设置其实并不多,就连从朝廷领薪水的正役都不多,所以各级衙门都有大量的补役、帮办,这个就由地方官府甚至地方官个人掏腰包来养了,只要你养得起,自然可以有大量鞍前马后的伴当。 Therefore first, Ye Xiaotian gave Mao Wenzhi and Hua Yunfei bought two yamen runner clothing/taking, was accompanied to go to Ministry of Appointments by them. He such small step, do not say Shangshu, is the vice ministers does not meet with him, even the doctor of Chinese medicine and landlord court attendant does not need to receive, but Ye Xiaotian does not know that is because was opened the special attention of Jiangling, actually obtained the Ministry of Appointments doctor of Chinese medicine Guo Shun's interview. 因此一来,叶小天就给毛问智和华云飞置办了两套皂隶服,由他们两个陪着自己去了吏部。他这么小的品阶,不要说尚书,就是侍郎都不会见他,甚至郎中和员外郎也无需接见,不过叶小天不知是不是因为受过张江陵的特别关注,竟然得到了吏部郎中郭舜的接见。 This Guo Langzhong is very but actually polite to Ye Xiaotian, talks and laughs merrily to ask that his personal history, then sent him to go out benignly, looks back that Ye Xiaotian is walking, Guo Langzhong caressed must smile, mused: „Attends to old friend what kind of character, why actually did not know, had celebrating a holiday with such tiny big officer unexpectedly. Is rare he to open mouth a time, I then help him. On, has then set up a bureau on the 2nd, making this boy plant, letting him henceforth to turn over/to stand up.” 这郭郎中对叶小天倒很客气,谈笑风生地问了问他的履历,便和颜悦色地打发他出去了,望着叶小天走出去的背影,郭郎中抚须一笑,暗想:“顾老友何等人物,却不知为何,竟与这样一个芝麻绿豆大的官儿结下了过节。也罢,难得他开一次口,我便帮帮他。过上两日,便设一个局,让这小子栽进去,让他从此不能翻身。” The one who directs Ye Xiaotian to see Guo Langzhong is a petty clerk, named king Qingshuo. This king Qingshuo does not know the Ye Xiaotian details. Originally sees him to reach the sky in a single bound. Also is quite eyes red, now sees him, as soon as arrives, veiled Guo Langzhong makes an exception to receive unexpectedly. Also thinks that he and Guo Langzhong have what relations, during the spoken languages was then more intimate. 引着叶小天去见郭郎中的是一个书办,名叫王清朔。这王清朔不知道叶小天的底细。本来见他一步登天。还颇为眼红,如今见他一到,竟蒙郭郎中破格接见。还以为他和郭郎中有什么关系,言语之间便亲热了许多。 Ye Xiaotian comes out from Guo Langzhong sign room, said to king Qingshuo: „King petty clerk, does not know that what my lifting officer is responsible for?” 叶小天从郭郎中的签押房出来,对王清朔道:“王书办,不知我这提举官都负责些什么啊？” king Qingshuo said with a smile: „Leaf lifting, no wonder you did not know. Our Ministry of Appointments, had not lifted such government position from the start. As long as our Ministry of Appointments has the official rank, slightly is also six, really does not have not the popular mixed officer, but leaf lifting is actually the royal government looks after specially, therefore for you ad hoc duty of the lifting, this in our Ministry of Appointments. Quite day wild first time, by below does not know actually you should be responsible for what?” 王清朔笑道:“叶提举,难怪你不晓得。咱们这吏部,本来就压根儿没有提举这么个官职。咱们吏部但凡有官阶的,最小也是个六品,实在是没有不入流的杂官,可叶提举却是朝廷特别关照下来的,所以才为你特设了一个提举之职,这在咱吏部。还是颇天荒的头一遭,是以在下也不知道你究竟该负责些什么？” king Qingshuo, the halting footsteps, is pointing at front young sign room/house say/way at this point: „Arrived, here is your bureau geographical unit of government. leaf Tiju usually might as well various places took a walk, is familiar with the colleagues , Guo Langzhong there will have had to dispatch to arrange on the 2nd.” 王清朔说到这里,站住脚步,指着前边一幢小小的签押房道:“到了,这儿就是你的署公所在了。叶提举平素不妨各处走动走动,与同仁们熟悉熟悉,想必过两日,郭郎中那里就会有差遣安排下来。” Ye Xiaotian sees him to speak the polite, busy also polite said/tunnel: „Had Lao king the petty clerk.” 叶小天见他说话客气,忙也客气地道:“有劳王书办了。” When that king Shuban said goodbye to leave, Mao Wenzhi said: „Big brother, but also really that old Tang guessing, others were really make an idle duty to provide you, wanted me saying that we were really inferior to Hu county, the officer was small there , was the big shot in county, here was an officer is bigger than you, very did not have the meaning.” 待那王书办告辞离开,毛问智道:“大哥,还真叫那老汤给猜着了,人家真就是弄个闲职把你给养起来了,要俺说啊,咱真不如回葫县,在那儿你官再小,也是县里的头面人物,在这里是个官就比你大,忒没意思。” Ye Xiaotian stared his one eyes saying: „Little spoke the idle talk, you think that I don't want to walk? However, must first clarify here situation to say again. I felt, walks toward the big place from the small place, is not naturally easy, the small place that but must not be willing to go to toward anyone from the big place walks, easy. But the premise is, we must have person who can speak.” 叶小天瞪了他一眼道:“少说废话,你以为我不想走？不过,总得先摸清这里的情况再说。我觉得,从小地方往大地方走,自然不容易,可要从大地方往谁也不愿意去的小地方走,想必容易的很。可前提是,咱得有能说得上话的人。” Hua Yunfei said: „Big brother, Mr. open/stretch Hongxuan open/stretch father expensive/noble is Ministry of War Shangshu, if we take his method......” 华云飞道:“大哥,张泓愃张公子的父亲贵为兵部尚书,如果咱们走他的门路……” Ye Xiaotian said: „Opens the method of Shangshu naturally to walk, but his there after all is Ministry of War, is stepping yamen (government office), for this minor matter asked him to help, but wasted a friendship. It is not anxious, we first try to find the solution, is really not good asks open/stretch Hongxuan to help again.” 叶小天道:“张尚书的门路自然可以走,不过他那里毕竟是兵部,跨着衙门呢,为了这点小事去求他帮忙,可就浪费了一份交情。不急,咱们先自己想想办法,实在不行再请张泓愃帮忙。” Three brothers are saying, only went to that place small sign room to saunter, then coming out wandered around, inside arrives windows and doors to open wide the period of five days of sees outside the room, suddenly sees has seven officials to sit respectfully, seems waiting for what great person to receive. 三兄弟说着,只去自己那处小小的签押房转悠了一圈,便出来四处游荡,走到一处门窗洞开的候见房外时,忽见里边有个七品官正襟危坐,似乎正在等着什么大人物接见。 The gate lanai next two janitors look at that seven officials to talk in a low voice, a humanity: „Isn't this Jiangpu county magistrate white Hong?” 门外廊下两个杂役望着那七品官低声交谈,其中一人道:“这不是江浦知县白弘么？” Latter humanity: „It is not he, the village has the proverb: The termite transits, infertile. This cool government official, how came the Ministry of Appointments period of five days to see, is it possible that can also rise high?” 后一人道:“可不就是他,乡间有谚:白蚁过境,寸草不生。这个酷吏,怎么来吏部候见了,莫非还要高升？” Previous humanity: „Brother cautious word, cannot the easily speaking government official spoiled just be inexpensively evil.” 前一人道:“老弟慎言,不可轻言官吏廉腐正邪。” The latter person thinks otherwise the said/tunnel: „What this has, in the work places who doesn't know his reputation? This person crawls constantly upward, no matter since common people life., But meets famine year does not report the disaster, but intimidates the common people to pay taxes constantly, harms others to break up a family, who wants to complain shuts in Great Prison by him, he also intimidates the common people to offer the common people umbrella to him, is cool government official who is going against the honest official hat!” 后一人不以为然地道:“这有什么,坊间谁不知他名声？此人一味地往上爬,从不管百姓死活。,但逢灾年绝不报灾,只是一味威逼百姓纳税,害得人家妻离子散,谁想告状就被他关进大牢,他还威逼百姓给他献万民伞,是个顶着清官帽子的酷吏！” The previous person is afraid of getting into trouble timidly, quickly interrupts his words: „In its, does not seek its politics, speaking at a venture to ask for the person to dislike. He comes Ministry of Appointments to report on activities, above the explanation is good to his impression, is good of cautious word.” 前一人胆小怕事,急忙打断他的话道:“不在其位,不谋其政,乱说话可讨人嫌呐。他既来吏部述职,说明上头对他印象不错,还是慎言的好。” Two people are saying, then strolled to get out of the way, has not actually paid attention to their dialogues to listen to by the Ye Xiaotian three people that behind walked, Ye Xiaotian is thinking now with all one's heart rotated Hu county, really did not want this to be jealous of good fortune by others, he felt the chin to think, counted to come, to be busy at suddenly calling carefully Hua Yunfei front, put one's mouth close to another's ear tells several. 二人说着,便漫步走开了,却未注意他们这番对话正被后面走来的叶小天三人听个正着,叶小天现在一门心思想着回转葫县,实在不想要这份被别人眼红不已的福气,他摸着下巴想了想,忽地计上心来,忙把华云飞叫到面前,附耳吩咐几句。 Hua Yunfei hesitant said/tunnel: „Big brother, whether he is cool the government official, with me and other what does/works, why to make fun in him?” 华云飞犹豫地道:“大哥,他是否酷吏,与我等何干,何必捉弄于他？” Ye Xiaotian said with a smile: „I just want to be censured Hu county, must work becomes, the blunder cannot violate, violated may outsmart oneself, selects slightly wrong was just right, let alone this and other cool government officials, should renovate.” 叶小天笑道:“我正想被贬回葫县,得做点儿事才成啊,大错不能犯的,犯了可就弄巧成拙了,来点小错才恰到好处,何况这等酷吏,正该整治一番。” Hua Yunfei always always followed to Ye Xiaotian, listening to him saying that then nodded the head said: „Little brother knew, urges to go faster returns.” 华云飞一向对叶小天言听计从,听他这么说,便颔首道:“小弟晓得了,去去就回。” Jiangpu county magistrate white Hong sees in the room to sit respectfully in the period of five days, in heart excited, two palms grip is the perspiration. He does not hesitate the multitude of people to refer, all only give priority to making a performance appraisal, obtains the superior on appraisal year after year, now finally hoodwinks Ministry of Appointments to summon narrates the duty, rises high to near. In the heart the nature is excited. 江浦知县白泓在候见房里正襟危坐,心中可是激动不已,两个掌心攥的全是汗。他不惜千夫所指,一切惟以考成为重,年年获得优上的评价,如今终于蒙吏部召见叙职,高升在即。心中自然兴奋不已。 At this moment, sees officer to have two soap services to enter the gate, county magistrate white just about to sets out, the paradise flycatcher that looks at a that officer chest front mixed official, the buttocks that lifts fell. Many that although the step is higher than others. After all yamen (government office) mouth big of this Ministry of Appointments, he is nods to this mixed duty lesser official very much politely smiles. 就在这时,就见一个官儿带着两个皂役走进门来,白知县刚要起身,瞧那官儿胸前一只杂职官的练鹊,那抬起的屁股又落了下去。只是虽说自己品阶比人家高的多。毕竟这吏部的衙门口儿大,他还是很客气地向这杂职小官点头一笑。 Ye Xiaotian walks directly toward him, is with a smile typical: „This Sir. Waits for the period of five days to see?” 叶小天径直向他走过来,笑吟吟地道:“这位大人。等着候见呢？” white Hongmang said: „, Is waiting for vice minister Meng to receive, under the foot is?” 白弘忙道:“正是,正等孟侍郎接见,足下是？” Ye Xiaotian said: „! This officer, specifically is responsible for receiving the period of five days to see the official. This Sir, you must see vice minister Sir. This appearance may be inadequate, you have a look, the hat was crooked, the gown also has the fold, this waistband ties not neatly. Vice minister Meng the heaviest measuring appliance, your is very disrespectful.” 叶小天道:“哦！本官呢,就是专门负责接待候见官员的。这位大人,你要见侍郎大人。这副样子可不成,你看看,帽子歪了,袍子还有褶皱,这腰带束得也不整齐。孟侍郎最重仪表,你这样子很失礼的。” As soon as county magistrate white listens to be flustered: „Right? This...... that...... Bai......” 白知县一听不禁慌张起来:“是吗？这……那……白某……” Ye Xiaotian beckons with the hand, said: „Does not need to be flustered. You two, help this Sir straighten up quickly.” 叶小天摆摆手,道:“不必慌张。你们两个,快帮这位大人拾掇拾掇。” „Compliant!” “遵命！” Mao Wenzhi and Hua Yunfei comply with one, then goes forward to help white county magistrate reorganize, when stretches the adjusting one's clothing robe and reorganization cap and sash, Hua Yunfei circles to county magistrate white behind helps him reorganize the generating angle of official headgear. Picks fast his hat, the wrist/skill lifts, then lost the scorpion that just seized, then toward county magistrate white a head buckle. Nearby Mao Wenzhi all watches, cī the tooth to smile to Hua Yunfei. 毛问智和华云飞答应一声,便上前帮着白县令整理起来,抻整衣袍、整理冠带,华云飞绕到白知县背后帮他整理官帽的展角时。飞快地把他的帽子摘下来,手腕一抬,便把一只刚捉来的蝎子丢了进去,然后又往白知县头上一扣。一旁的毛问智全都看在眼里,向华云飞呲牙一笑。 „Became! Was then neater.” “成了！这下就齐整多了。” Ye Xiaotian sizes up white great several up and down, nods with a smile. 叶小天上下打量白弘几眼,笑吟吟地点了点头。 white Hong grateful said/tunnel: „Has the work, took the trouble.” Said that fishes out spindle 22 snowflake moneys from the sleeve bottom, conveniently in a stopper toward the Ye Xiaotian hand: „Bai still sees in the period of five days, cannot leave slightly. Please three brothers eat the bowl tea, laborious, laborious.” 白弘感激地道:“有劳,费心了。”说完从袖底摸出一锭二两的雪花银,顺手往叶小天手中一塞:“白某还在候见,不能稍离。请三位兄弟吃碗茶,辛苦,辛苦。” Ye Xiaotian picked up that silver ingot, the smiling said/tunnel: „This Sir is too polite, respectfully congratulated rises high, hahahaha......” 叶小天拈了拈那锭银子,笑眯眯地道:“这位大人太客气啦,恭祝高升啊,哈哈哈哈……” The Ye Xiaotian three people just walked, then the yamen runner catches up in a hurry, stood shouted one under the porch: „Vice minister Meng summoned Jiangpu county magistrate white Hong!” 叶小天三人刚走出去,便有一个衙役匆匆赶来,站在廊下喊了一声:“孟侍郎召见江浦知县白弘！” white Hong who just took a seat settled a spring like the buttocks, whiz one shot, hurried. 刚刚落座的白弘就像屁股底下安了一个弹簧,嗖地一下又弹起来,赶紧走了出去。 Ministry of Appointments vice-minister Sir Meng was over 50-year-old, the facial expression very dignified person, the lower official calls on, frequently got down in a few words, the tone was light, disturbed anxious, the forehead sweated. However, he recently must rise high Capital City Ministry of Appointments, is happy, therefore saw white Hong, actually benign. 吏部右侍郎孟大人是一个年过五旬,貌相十分威严的人,下官晋见,常常三言两语下来,语气淡淡的,就令人忐忑紧张,额头冒汗。不过,他近日就要高升京城吏部,心情愉快,所以见了白弘,倒是和颜悦色的很。 Vice minister Meng twists the beard, the smile was saying: „County magistrate white, from your old times examination, was very good, the taxes collection was prompt, in the county also never saw what public security case.” 孟侍郎捻着胡须,微笑道:“白知县,从你往年的考评来看,很不错啊,税赋征收及时,县内也从未见有什么治安大案。” County magistrate white is very happy, raises slightly to say hastily: „Sir erroneous to praise, this is the emperor is wise, Shangguan Fuchi, the lower official does not dare to claim credit......” 白知县喜上眉梢,连忙欠身道:“大人谬赞,这都是皇上英明,上官扶持,下官不敢居功……” At this point, county magistrate white a brow wrinkle, on the face shows a strange facial expression suddenly. 说到这里时,白知县忽然眉头一皱,脸上露出一丝古怪的神情。 Vice minister Meng is with a smile typical: „Oh, to be why modest, your county borders on the great river, has not had the floods in successive years, no doubt is the heaven takes care , is also you governs in the right way, I heard that your county common people gave back to you to get up the common people umbrella, the reputation was very good......” 孟侍郎笑吟吟地道:“嗳,何必自谦呢,你县濒临大江,却连年未有水灾,固然是老天照应,也是你治理有方啊,听说,你县百姓还给你上了万民伞,官声很好啊……” County magistrate white shook the head, vice minister Meng a brow wrinkle, said: „What's wrong, this officer said isn't right?” 白知县晃了晃脑袋,孟侍郎眉头一皱,道:“怎么,本官说的不对？” County magistrate white has a scare, hurries to nod, quickly shakes the head, he only thinks that the head seemed to be gripped by what east and west ruthlessly, pain clear bone to inter the body, may record this vice minister Sir the heaviest measuring appliance deportment, but his future this great person word decides, he suppresses the pain, does not dare to have disrespectfully, but the headache wants to crack, flustered, careless words said/tunnel: „The side that no no no, the Sir said is, the reputation of lower official...... the reputation is excellent.” 白知县吓了一跳,赶紧点点头,又急忙摇摇头,他只觉头上似乎被什么东西狠狠扎了一下,痛澈入骨,可又记着这位侍郎大人最重仪表仪态,他的前程可是这位大人物一言而决的,他强忍痛楚,不敢有所失礼,可头痛欲裂,慌张之下,口不择言地道:“不不不,大人说的极是,下官的官声……官声还是极好的。” County magistrate white, that scorpion poison has started to manifest suddenly at this point, is painful his cheek meat to twitch unceasingly, the forehead cold sweat streaming. Vice minister Meng sees that shows a faint smile, stroking must say: „County magistrate white, you do not use anxiously, does this officer have that big officer prestige?” 白知县说到这里,那蝎毒已经开始发作起来,痛得他颊肉不断地抽搐,额头冷汗涔涔。孟侍郎见状,微微一笑,捋须道:“白知县,你不用紧张,本官有那么大的官威吗？” „Interjection indicating surprise......, ah......, yeah, yeah, yeah and yeah......” county magistrate white could not bear again, the pain shouts one to jump, a robe sleeve last volume turned the teacup, he also disregards, but dances with joy, as if looks like sorcerer jumps randomly. “哦呵呵……,啊呀呀……,哎、哎、哎、哎……”白知县再也忍不住了,痛呼一声跳将起来,袍袖一下卷翻了茶杯,他也不管不顾,而是手舞足蹈,仿佛像跳大神似的乱蹦起来。 : pass/test Xiaokun the father should be the Ministry of (Confucian) Rites Shangshu, is not vice minister Ministry of Justice, therefore the previous chapter slightly made the revision. :关小坤的爹应该是礼部尚书,不是刑部侍郎,所以上一章略做了修改。 ( To be continued.(.))
