The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 204
Sheng Yuan followed her father to the bookstore, seeing the library occupying a street, the little guy was stunned.

Well, she was naive, she thought the book club was a very ordinary shop.

"Let's go, we can go home after we sign in." Sheng Xiangxun squeezed his little daughter's paw and walked in.

The library is divided into two parts, inside and outside. There are a large number of tables and chairs distributed on the first floor of the outer library. Pens, ink, paper and inkstones are provided on the desks, which are used for copying and silent writing by scholars with official academic records; the second floor of the outer library is a place for borrowing books. , which contains a large number of books.

"Students can buy commonly used books from the bookstore, or copy books from the bookstore; similarly, students can sell rare books to the bookstore, or help the bookstore to copy other books."

Sheng Yuan instantly understood: "The first two tasks are for students to spend money in the book club; the last two tasks are for students to make money in the book club!"

Sheng Xiangxun: "... that's right."

I just feel that the summary of my little girl is very strange.

Sheng Xiangxun's wonder was only for a moment, and he soon forgot this thought aside, and walked inside while holding his little daughter, and introduced: "The inner hall of the bookstore is the Hanlin officials, or the imperial court officials gather occasionally. A place to talk."

"En." Sheng Yuan nodded, expressing his understanding.

Isn't this the place where the court official regiment was built!

"The first floor of the inner hall is a spacious hall for everyone to discuss, and the second floor has more than a dozen rooms, which are the gathering places for court officials. Let's go there later."

Sheng Xiangxun was talking, and under the guidance of the miscellaneous officials of the library, he walked all the way through the quiet path to the core building of the book club, and then climbed the stairs to the exclusive quiet hall belonging to the officials of the Imperial Academy.

The area of ​​the static hall is incomparable with the hall below, but it is also as big as the three schools in Sheng Guogong's mansion.

When Sheng Yuan went in with her father, there were already five or six Jin Qiu Langjun inside. They were standing or sitting, some were laughing, and some were writing something at the table.

Seeing Sheng Xiangxun approaching, several gentlemen greeted them with smiles, bowed their hands and saluted each other, wished each other a new year, and said hello repeatedly.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone turned their attention to Sheng Yuan and continued to praise him repeatedly.

Sheng Yuan listened to everyone proficiently saying compliments, and kept sighing in her heart: It's really not easy to be an adult, look at this business model of mutual praise, it's almost instinctive.

Of course, the sigh in my heart was a sigh, but there was a silly smile on my face, and I said hello to the other party with my fists arched.

Seeing the children, several adults took out the small pouches they had prepared in advance.

Sheng Yuan had seen such a purse before. When she was 29, her father had prepared a lot of it. Usually, there were six copper coins and six candies in it, just to avoid embarrassment when meeting colleagues or children next door.

"Brother Sheng, we're going home. We'll meet again in Wenyuan Tower on 26." Everyone who came earlier left their names and pens and ink, and they were about to say goodbye and leave.

Sheng Xiangxun smiled and handed him off.

Sheng Yuan waited until there was no one in the room, and then asked her father: "Daddy, didn't you come to have a party with them?"

Sheng Xiangxun had already opened the famous post and browsed through it at this time. Hearing the sound, he said with a smile: "It's Chinese New Year, everyone doesn't reunite with their own family members, but come to meet with colleagues? I haven't seen enough of each other!"

After finishing speaking, he added his name on the post, and then turned the page to leave sixteen lines of poems. Then he introduced to Sheng Yuan: "Every year on the first day of the new year, the imperial officials leave their names and names in the corresponding library room of the book club. If you are willing to read the New Year's greeting poems of your colleagues, you can read them one by one, as if you are congratulating yourself...Of course, it doesn't matter whether you read it or not, anyway, after coming here, everyone will default to meeting each other and congratulating each other on the New Year!"

"It's still possible like this?!" Sheng Yuan felt that his eyes were wide open, this is too much trouble!
"Or else?" Sheng Xiangxun checked the poems and saw that there was no problem, so he closed the name card, smiled and touched his little daughter's head, "How many colleagues can the court meet? If you say hello one by one, So when do you want to go?"

"Is it the same for the superiors? They won't feel slighted?" Sheng Yuan was amazed and curious about Da Chu's ability to lighten the burden on himself.

"Are you so curious?" Sheng Xiangxun saw that the little girl was serious, so he simply sat on the chair, hugged her and said in detail, "Didn't you still make trouble when Dad was writing straight books in the study? The praise written by daddy at that time was intended for Shangguan to read."

Following her father's introduction, Sheng Yuan gradually figured it out.

Because courtiers pay homage to the emperor every year on the third day of junior high school, they will congratulate each other on the first two days of junior high school.

It is the choice of officials of the fourth rank and below of the imperial court to leave their names and pens and inks in the bookstore affiliated to the Imperial Academy.

For example, senior officials of the third rank and above will write their names and congratulatory messages on the congratulatory card, and then send their own bookboys to the houses of friends, classmates, old friends, colleagues, the same year, and neighbors on the same street to hand it over. At that time, the concierge of each government will also record the person who sent the Cambodian.

Of course, this method is not only used by high-ranking officials, but most low-ranking officials also ask book boys and servants to deliver congratulatory cards to good friends.

"Ordinary officials have to write New Year's greetings to their superiors, and officials of the third rank and above can write congratulations to the emperor."

Sheng Xiangxun said, and used himself as an example: "Like your father and I, although we are not high-ranking officials, but because we are civil servants of the Imperial Academy and close ministers of the emperor, we are qualified to write a congratulatory letter to His Majesty."

"Then you want to write praises for the emperor, the crown prince, the academicians of the Imperial Academy, and the chief assistant, right?" Sheng Yuan counted with her fingers and blinked at her father, wanting to be praised.

"..." Sheng Xiangxun paused, and suggested that the little girl can ignore the option of prince.

He promised that if he wrote praises to the crown prince before he ascended the throne, the prince would definitely laugh at him eight times a day, and the content of the praises would probably be posted all over the city.

Even if I want to avoid being dismissed for beating the prince, I can't write this article.

Sheng Yuan didn't know that her father's mental activities were so rich, she and the system were amazed at what she had just discovered - Da Chu officials didn't need to socialize with colleagues during their holidays!
【…】The system looked at Sheng Yuan who was exulting in his heart, and felt a little tired.

With such a huge officialdom, she discovered such an advantage?
Probably because he has been in contact with Shengyuan for a long time, and the system is also changing. No, it has already begun to forgive itself.

"Okay, we can go back!" Sheng Xiangxun had almost said something to the little girl, looked out of the window and felt that it was getting late, so he returned the name card to the official, and took Sheng Yuan out by himself.

After finally taking the little girl out alone, Sheng Xiangxun was not in a hurry to return home, and led her towards the main street with a smile.

At this moment, the streets are already bustling with activity. Most of the young gentlemen and girls running around laughingly holding windmills, candied haws, and rattles on the street.

It is rare to have a child who is obedient and not fussy, and is either held in the arms of an adult or put on his neck.

Sheng Yuan originally insisted on going by herself, but after seeing these children, she immediately shook her father's arm and looked at him with shining eyes, hoping her father would understand.

Unfortunately, Sheng Xiangxun acted as if he hadn't noticed it, and looked straight ahead, resolutely refusing to understand.

Good guy, the last time I carried this little guy for half an hour, he had a stiff neck the next day!No compromise this time!

Well, in order to be able to move freely, there must be no compromise!
