Chapter 15 Buying and Selling Official Positions
The snow has almost melted, and the warmth outside the palace is actually much more than inside the palace.

Fu Yao hadn't seen so many people for a long time.

Bustling crowds, vendors hawking everywhere, and food stalls filled with heat and fragrance along the street.

She was like a child in surprise, gathering here and there, looking around, laughing uncontrollably, the corners of her lips were about to twitch.

Li Wei took her on a visit in a low-clothes, and there were hidden guards covering her ten steps away, so he didn't worry about her looking around, but he still followed closely.

As long as Fu Yao is three steps away from him, he will pull her back by the collar and pull her back like a bunny: "Slow down, wait for me."

Fu Yao grinned and dragged him in the direction he wanted to go.

When they came, the two prepared some copper coins and broken silver, but Fu Yao didn't buy anything, and when he saw novelties, he just picked them up and looked at them before putting them down.

Li Shen couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have anything you want to take back?"

Fu Yao shook her head: "These, this, no."

Li Shen understood that this was something he wanted to buy, and he was looking for it with his money.

But Fu Yao had difficulty speaking, and he couldn't accurately describe what he wanted, so Li Wei didn't ask, and just followed her to find it.

Fu Yao walked the whole street to the end, and finally stopped.

In front of her was a painting and calligraphy shop.

Fu Yao let go of Li Mi, and rushed in almost instantly. The shopkeeper greeted warmly: "Do you need calligraphy and painting, sir? Our master here can do it on the spot."

Fu Yao shook her head, pointed to a painting and said, "Color."

"Color?" The shopkeeper was confused, "You mean the color of this painting is not good-looking? It's okay, it's okay, we can paint whatever you like."

Fu Yao still shook her head, "Yan, color, this."

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "You..."

Seeing that he couldn't understand, Fu Yao looked at Li Wei with pleading eyes.

He should understand what he means, does he understand, does he understand?
Having understood it so many times in the palace, Fu Yao always felt that talking to Li Wei was the easiest.

Li Wei also had a blank expression: "Do you like this color?"

Fu Yao: "..."

Fu Yao repeated again: "Color, want, color."

"So that's it, I understand." Li Shen suddenly realized, "You want a painting of this color."

Fu Yao: "..."

Fu Yao was about to cry, she thought about it for a long time, and finally had the chance, she didn't want to go back empty-handed, but the more anxious she became, the more speechless she became, and in the end she could only stomp her feet resentfully, and looked at Li Mi very unwillingly: "Damn it! "

Li Wei never expected that she would go through all kinds of hardships, so he choked out such a sentence and laughed outright.

Fu Yao became even more angry, and hit Li Mi hard: "You, you..."

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore, I won't tease you," Li Wei sighed with a smile, "Shopkeeper, wrap up all the paints of all colors in your shop."

Fu Yao was stunned, and looked at Li Wei in disbelief.

He understands!
He really understood! !

It's so irritating, and he still teased her knowingly.

Fu Yao pursed her lips, feeling very puzzled, then clenched her fist and hit him again.

Anyway, she was outside the palace and no one saw her, so she wanted to beat her hard.

Li Min didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he brought her to his side, leaned closer and whispered: "It's fine, I will take you out to play at the risk of being scolded by those old guys in a joint letter tomorrow, and I'm not happy if you want to beat me all the way."

Li Wei leaned closer, and the words were almost whispered in her ear.

She could clearly smell the faint sandalwood fragrance from Li Shen's body.

With so many people around watching, Fu Yao's ears turned red in an instant, and she snorted softly, and moved her feet under the long skirt to the side quietly, trying to stay away from this demon who was making fun of her.

At this time, Li Mi was domineering and unreasonable, and dragged him back: "It will be dangerous to stay too far away from me."

"You are," Fu Yao cursed angrily, "You are dangerous."

Perhaps it was because he was not in the palace, Li Wei hadn't spoken so recklessly for a long time, he couldn't help but raise his lips when he looked at the distraught queen.

It is the joy I feel from the bottom of my heart.

Fu Yao cursed a few words, pursed her lips, lowered her head, and suddenly whispered: "Thank you, color."

"Huh?" Li Wei was slightly stunned, his always sharp eyes slightly curved, "You don't need to thank me."

There is a lot of each color, and the store rarely sees such a big customer. When they brought the paint over, they smiled attentively: "Take it well, are you a husband and wife, new faces, and this is your first time in the capital?"

Li Wei suppressed his smile: "It's the first time."

"So, the capital city is a good place. There are countless heroes and beauties like a cloud." The shopkeeper looked at Fu Yao and smiled again. Into the eyes again."

The shopkeeper seemed to be acquainted with each other. Without waiting for the two of them to respond, he continued: "You two bought so many paints. Are you planning to live in Beijing for a long time? Is there a job or a place to stay? If not, I, Zhao San, have a lot of connections. Guang, I can introduce you to the two of you."

Li Shi was about to leave at first, but stopped when he heard this: "I can only study, I am powerless, but I yearn for the officialdom, and I have been waiting for a chance to show my strengths. You can help me with this." ?”

"I want to be an official," the shopkeeper put on a troubled look, "I-I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

As he said, he twisted it in his hands, and Li Wei raised his eyebrows when he saw it.

This means that as long as you give money, you can arrange it?
Li Wei suddenly thought, he wanted to see what this man could do, so he took out two taels of silver and put it in Zhao San's hand: "Do you think this is enough?"

"Oh," the shopkeeper weighed heavily, "it's enough to buy a piece of news, but it's still a bit difficult to get a job."

Ok?
Li Wei smiled in his heart, and took out another two taels of silver: "This is the monthly expenses of an ordinary family, no matter how much it is, I really can't afford it."

Zhao San shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, it's difficult, this is not a place to talk, little brother, come with me."

Li Shu held Fu Yao back, gave the left and right guards a silent look, and followed the shopkeeper into the back door.

Outside the back door is a small open-air courtyard, with dry moss growing in the gaps between the green bricks, and a stone table in the middle of the courtyard.

Li Shu sat down with Fu Yao, and Zhao Sanshen said mysteriously: "Recently, the postmaster of Jingzhao Division has a clerical job, and the job is very simple. After finishing the files and reviewing the papers, he is still a ninth-rank official. How about it?" , are you willing to do it?"

"Jingzhaosi?" Li Wei raised his eyebrows, "This is the yamen of the capital, and it even has the power to interfere with cases in the palace. I heard that even a janitor has to pass three tests and five trials. Are you lying? ?”

"What did I lie to you for? I recommended all the classics and history," Zhao San patted his chest, "I have taken care of everything inside, and the main brother's heart is in place, and the third and fifth trials are not a problem."

Li Shen asked: "Then how much money do I need to prepare?"

Zhao San extended a slap: "50 taels."
