Fortunate Young Gentleman

"...a doctor in the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor's degree student at the Hanlin Academy..."

In the empty hall, Chen Huang's voice was still echoing. Liu Feng, the Minister of Rites, stood there blankly, with an expression of disbelief.

Hanlin Xiuzhuan was an official of the sixth rank, and the doctor of the Ministry of Rites and the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy were both from the official position of the fifth rank. Although he was named a doctor of the Ministry of Rites, he was promoted as an exception in order to let him serve as a wedding messenger, but this also means that Now, when he comes back from Chu, no matter which department he goes to, his official position will not be lower than the fifth rank.

From the time he passed the Jinshi examination to the present, it only took one year to be promoted from the virtual position of the sixth grade to the actual position of the fifth grade. If calculated carefully, it was only half a year from the time he joined the Hanlin Academy to the present.

You must know that being a new Jinshi requires qualifications, and promotion is particularly difficult. In the past, he was the second Jinshi in the first class, and climbed step by step to the position of doctor in the Ministry of Rites. It took him ten years...

It's really sad to think about how things are getting better every ten years.

However, his doctor of the Ministry of Rites is only a temporary substitute. In the past few months, he doesn't know what will happen. For now, he only needs to follow the instructions of the Master and send this person away.

…

Changning Palace.

A palace maid looked at the female officer in front of her pleadingly and said: "Cui Shangyi, please let the princess rest. The princess has been practicing for a day..."

The middle-aged female officer looked at her and said coldly: "If the princess doesn't learn palace etiquette well, she will be ridiculed when she arrives in Chu State. How will the royal family's face be saved by then?"

She looked forward at the girl who was biting her lower lip and moving with difficulty, and said: "Your Highness, time is urgent. Someone from the Ministry of Etiquette will come tomorrow. I will have to learn more by then. Could you please practice a few more times... "

The girl's ankles had been worn out, but she didn't care. Her eyes were just a little confused. Only when she looked up at the clear blue sky outside the palace, the light would occasionally shine.

…

Tang Huai would eventually think of letting him be the wedding messenger, which Tang Ning expected. As for Chen Huang raising him to two ranks and directly letting him take the position of doctor of the Ministry of Etiquette, Tang Ning did not expect it.

According to common sense, when he returns from Chu and returns to the court, it will be a new starting point.

He doesn't have any special feelings about the promotion of official rank, but Xiao Ru's rank can now be promoted from the sixth-grade imperial decree to the fifth-grade imperial decree, which is another gain.

While eating, Chen Yuxian looked at him with some worry and asked: "Your Majesty, how could you think of letting you be the wedding messenger? Chu State is so far away. It will take at least half a year to come and go. If we delay for a while longer, I don’t know if I can come back this year..."

Zhong Mingli put down his chopsticks and said: "This is also a kind of experience for him by Your Majesty. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. He went to Chu as a wedding envoy. When he comes back, he will be more knowledgeable. Officials in the DPRK and the Central Government would not have any objections to his status rising by two levels. Otherwise, it would take at least five years for him to move from the sixth grade to the fifth grade. "

Chen Yuxian thought of something and suddenly said: "So, Ning'er is now at the fifth level, only half a level lower than you?"

Zhong Mingli coughed awkwardly, picked up his chopsticks, and continued eating.

It took him nearly twenty years to reach his current position from a county magistrate from another state, but Tangning's promotion was as casual as eating and drinking. As the father-in-law, he couldn't help but feel a little hot.

What made him even more angry was that he was able to sit in the position of Ping'an County Magistrate because of his son-in-law...

Whether it was being designated as a wedding messenger or being promoted to two levels in a row, it was something worth celebrating. After the family banquet, when Tang Ning returned to the courtyard, she saw Tang Yaoyao sitting on the wall.

The time has just entered February, and the afternoon breeze is no longer so cold, with a little warmth that a spring breeze should have.

Tang Yaoyao was sitting on the wall in a daze. The setting sun was right behind her. Her hair was ruffled by the breeze and dyed golden by the light coming from behind.

"Hello!"

Tangning walked to the yard and shouted to her.

Tang Yaoyao swayed, obviously frightened by him, jumped down from the wall, and said angrily: "You are going to die!"

Tangning looked at her and asked, "Why are you so dazed?"

Spring is here, the cats outside are meowing more cheerfully, and even Tang Yaoyao is different from before.

Tang Yaoyao did not answer his question and asked: "Are you going to Chu State?"

Tang Ning explained: "This is the court's arrangement, and there is nothing I can do about it."

"Xiaoyi told me everything." Tang Yaoyao glared at him and said, "You went there for the princess."

"When a friend is in trouble, you have a duty." Tang Ning looked at her and said, "Last time you were forced to get married, I didn't help you find a way. If your father forces you again in the future, and you still come to me, I guarantee that the entire Chen Kingdom will not be able to help you." No one dares to marry you."

As the saying goes, it would be better to demolish ten temples than ruin one marriage. Tang Ning felt that she was a bit of a loser, doing things that ruined people's marriages. This time, in addition to sending wedding envoys, according to the arrangement of the court, she also helped Prince Kang propose marriage. , who is Miss Li? She is stunningly talented and beautiful, both civil and military. Is she worthy of being a idiot like Prince Kang?

He will talk to her personally about this matter when he arrives in Chu State.

Tang Yaoyao looked at him and asked, "Just because of the princess, don't you want to meet Li Tianlan?"

"To be honest, I still want to meet her..." After all, I haven't seen her for more than half a year. Tang Ning said sincerely, looked at Tang Yaoyao, and said, "Of course, I will also go to Chu State this time. I will miss you..."

"Who cares?"

Tang Yaoyao glanced at him and flew back to her yard on the stone table.

Tang Ning looked down and found that there were several cracks on the edge of the stone table. He murmured: "Just jump over the wall, why use hidden strength..."

Across the wall, Tang Yaoyao stood in the yard, took out a folded paper from her purse and opened it.

There was a sentence on the paper.

"Just like the phoenix leaving Qinlou, the clouds gathering Wushan."

She crumpled the paper into a ball, threw it on the ground fiercely, and said angrily: "What a broken sign!"

She walked to her room angrily, walked halfway, turned back, picked up the paper ball on the ground, smoothed the wrinkles, folded it again, and put it back into her purse...

...

Ministry of Rites.

When the officials of the Ministry of Rites arrived at the government office in the morning, they received two pieces of news at the first time.

The post of the princess's wedding envoy was held by the new Tang Zhushi. In order to make his official position match the identity of the wedding envoy, His Majesty directly promoted him to the position of the Ministry of Rites Doctor, and he became the third person in the Ministry of Rites in an instant.

Of the three wedding envoys designated by the Ministry of Rites, one fell ill, one was arrested and imprisoned, and another was seriously injured by a carriage at his doorstep. The three words "wedding envoy" have become synonymous with unlucky stars in the Ministry of Rites.

Now that unlucky stars meet unlucky stars, it is unknown what kind of sparks will collide. Many people in the Ministry of Rites are waiting to see.

Although Tang Ning is already a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, the affairs of the Ministry of Guests have been busier recently. As soon as he arrived at the Ministry of Rites, the Minister of Guests knocked on the door and walked in, bowing and saying: "Sir Tang, the preliminary etiquette regulations have been formulated by the Ministry of Guests. You need to go to the palace to hand over to the female officials of the Princess's Mansion. If there is anything wrong, we will discuss it again..."

Tang Ning nodded and said, "Let it go."

Changning Palace

The little maid sat on the bed, shedding tears while applying medicine to Zhao Man. Looking at her rubbed ankles, she said angrily: "Your Highness, Cui Shangyi is too bad. Last time she beat and scolded the maid and was punished by the princess. This time she did it on purpose. Let's tell His Majesty!"

The girl frowned slightly because of the pain, but still shook her head and said: "No, I won't see her again in a few days anyway..."

The little maid lowered her head, and soon raised it again, saying: "Princess, I will accompany you to take a walk outside later, okay..."

"No, I have walked the roads in the palace many times." The girl shook her head, as if she was not interested in anything.

Two figures walked in from outside. A female official stood outside the curtain and said, "Your Highness, the people from the Ministry of Rites have arrived. It is the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, Mr. Tang, who was selected by His Majesty as the envoy to the marriage. He is here to discuss the etiquette and regulations. Princess..."

"Mr. Tang..." Inside the curtain, the girl's spirits lifted slightly, but soon became depressed, and she murmured, "The doctor of the Ministry of Rites..."

She interrupted the female official's words through the curtain, looked at the figure, and said, "Let him discuss it with Cui Shangyi. I'm a little tired. You can go out first."

Tang Ning bowed and said, "Your Highness, have a good rest. I'll take my leave."

Hearing the voice that was so familiar, the girl's body shook, and she jumped off the bed barefoot. When Tang Ning raised her head, she saw a head sticking out from behind the curtain.
