Farmers' group pet: the blessings of powerful ministers are soft and deceitful

Chapter 501

Shen Chenlan held a water banquet in Huanmanlou for a whole day, during which his acquaintance Du Hongbo also came to the scene to congratulate him.

Shen Chenlan is now the number one scholar of Dashun, the editor of the Hanlin Academy specially appointed by the emperor, and his official rank is the seventh rank.

The grade is a little higher than Xu Xingling.

Although it is said that the seventh rank is lower than Du Hongbo's fifth rank, it is two levels lower.

But a Beijing official is somewhat different from a local official.

In the local area, Du Hongbo is equivalent to the emperor of the soil, and you are the biggest here.

But when they actually arrived in the capital, they had to rely on the officials in the capital to be able to speak up.

Changping Prefecture says it is not big, but it is not small.

But the location is too close to the south, and a little further to the southwest is the wasteland of exile.

As a co-prefect in this place, his achievements in political affairs are too limited, and whether he can be transferred back to the capital in the future depends on fate.

Now it just so happens that there is a champion in Changping prefecture, and it is considered a facelift to make the emperor notice this place, but if he really wants to be transferred, it depends on the dredging of the contacts in Beijing.

Du Hongbo's line of business came here on purpose to establish a good relationship with Shen Chenlan. If Shen Chenlan has contacts in the official department in the future and can help him with a few good words, maybe he can leave this place where no shit.

When he invited Shen Chenlan, who was still a juren, to a gathering at his house, it was also with this idea in mind.

It's just that she was declined by Shen Chenlan at that time.

Now that Shen Chenlan already has an official position, naturally he can no longer invite her like this.

Therefore, Du Hongbo had to come to the door himself.

Shen Chenlan lived in Yan Liangting's residence for a year, and learned some official polite words along the way.

Du Hongbo didn't kill those requests with a stick, but he didn't really agree to them either. The two of them circled each other for several rounds like playing hide-and-seek, pulling at each other, and they never got to the point.

After a while, Shen Chenlan found a reason to get out.

After the banquet was over, Shen Chenlan went home and rested for two days before formally discussing with her parents and Jiang Ning about going to Beijing.

The family gathered together, each sitting on a chair, looking at him expectantly and nervously.

Jiang Nianxu sat on Jiang Ning's lap, seeing that everyone was sitting upright, and she also straightened up.

Shen Chenlan coughed lightly, ready for a meeting.

He made an opening statement first: "Father, Ningning, the affairs in Beijing have basically been settled, I thought I'd tell you formally, I'm now the editor of the Imperial Academy, and I'm the seventh grade."

Jiang Shi and Lin Ru knew about it a long time ago, and now that Shen Chenlan said it again, he still felt happy.

Shen Lan was also determined. From the moment she decided to take the scientific examination, she went smoothly and passed the examination without any stumbles.

They originally thought that they would have to struggle for a few more years, but they didn't expect that Shen Lan had just passed the weak crown year, and now he is only 21, and he has already found an official position in the capital.

Before, they didn't even dare to think about it.

Shen Chenlan had fun with them for a while, and Jiang Nianxu obviously felt that the adults were a little excited, so she also raised her hand and waved it.

When she was happy, Shen Chenlan looked at Jiang Ning and said, "Ning Ning, how much savings do we have now that we have a shop? I went to Beijing a few years ago, and I looked at the rent of houses in Beijing with my second brother. Ordinary ones cost 30 taels a month, and after a year, it might cost 900 taels."

"30 taels!" Both Jiang Shi and Lin Ru were shocked.

They had never seen the world in the village before, and only after they arrived at the state capital did they realize that there are so many places to spend money, and it's not cheap.

In the past two years, I finally got used to it. I made a lot of money, and I didn't feel the pain anymore.

I didn't expect...the capital cost more!
