One thousand one hundred and ninety-six chapters of the Ministry of Rites(2/2)
The officials immediately ordered someone to call the sedan chairman in, and there were sixteen people. But they saw that they were all thick and had strong strength.
The official continued: "The first eight people are in the main class, and the last eight people are in the preparatory class. If the adults go far, it is enough to rotate the two teams."
Lin Yanchao refused to comment, and the official accompanied him to carefully and said, "If Da Zong Bo is not satisfied, you can find a sedan chair servant yourself, and our yamen will give you the money to hire."
Lin Yanchao asked: "How much does it cost to hire a sedan chair servant in Beijing now?"
The official smiled and said, "How much money can this business that sells strength now be worth? How many people are fighting for errands of silver a month and a half, but the yamen's chores will be paid one tael per month. When Da Zongbo was there, he asked his family's servants to be used as sedan chairmen."
The official hinted that Lin Yanchao could save the money, go out to hire him or let his family take over, so that he would earn 1,200 taels of silver a year. Of course, this is also the legal income of the court's default officials.
Lin Yanchao said: "What you said is also a common rule in the yamen."
The two officials laughed together and said, "The Great Master Biao Mingjian."
"Stay here!"
"Yes." The two of them were not surprised. As a second-rank official, Lin Yanchao was not as fond of the expenses of 200 taels of silver.
The official immediately said to the sedan chairmen: "From now on, you will listen to the Lin Mansion and be honest."
After giving a few instructions, the people from the Ministry of Rites surrendered.
It was only then that Lin Yanchao had time to go back to the house and talk to Lin Qianqian.
Both sons were already asleep. Lin Yanchao asked as soon as he saw Lin Qianqian: "What did the Zhen family sister-in-law come to tell you today?"
Lin Qianqian said: "It's all family affairs. I think you're tired too. I won't talk much about the specific matters. It's just that the Zhen family's sister-in-law begged us for something."
Lin Yanchao wiped his face and asked, "What's the matter?"
Lin Qianqian said: "It's her brother's marriage."
"Her brother was in bad health back then, otherwise the Zhen family would not have moved and let my brother marry into the family."
Lin Qian smiled and said, "Now his younger brother is in good health and is preparing to get married. The one who got married is the daughter of the Imperial College student in Beijing. Although he is a poor family, the Zhen couple are both satisfied and want me to come forward to make a match."
Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "This is a good thing."
Lin Qianqian lowered her head and said, "Can I?"
"You are the second-rank imperial lady, why can't you be a matchmaker?"
Lin Qianqian heard this and smiled slightly, "Where is the young lady of the imperial decree? All the people who I talk about in the play are of the same age."
Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "If you really have to wait for a while, it would have delayed a good marriage. It's a matter of this."
Lin Qianqian nodded and smiled warmly: "I think it's OK, too."
That's how the couple made up their minds.
At this time, it was snowing outside the window again.
There was a sound of clamoring in the wind and snow, and a little light in the house flickered and swaying.
Lin Yanchao lay on the bed with his bed covered in bed and closed his eyes. Although there was endless things in his mind, he couldn't help but feel tired.
While tidying up clothes under the light, Lin Qianqian said to Lin Yanchao: "By the way, the things I brought from my hometown are in the box this time. You have to look at what is useful and what is not."
Lin Yanchao got up from the collapse when he heard this, opened the lock of the box, took out the two items from the box and took them to the lamp to see it.
These two things were the same when I returned home, my classmates gave me the "Secret Winter Sweet Reading Picture" of my old classmates.
The same is the poem given to him by Lin Feng, "Famous fame begins and the road of success is long-lasting wishes to be devoted to the people."
When Lin Yanchao saw these two things, he couldn't help but think about his feelings: "It's up to the people to read books and become officials!"
Speaking of this, Lin Yanchao nodded. At this moment, the snow outside the window was already heavier.
It was another new year, and the capital of the Ming Dynasty ushered in the 19th year of Wanli in the wind and snow.
This day, the Ministry of Rites in Mixiang, Dongjiang.
Dongjiang Mixiang is the place where the six government offices of the capital are located, and they are very lively on weekdays.
Today, because the main hall of the Ministry of Rites was in office, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were all lucky and were listed outside the yamen to welcome him.
Huang Fengxiang, the left and right ministers of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhao Yongxian, also led officials of the Fourth Division to sit in the official hall and wait for the main hall.
From time to time, officials came to report to others.
"How did you see the ceremonial guard of Dazong?" Zhao Yongxian asked.
"We have sent people to search several streets before we see them. If we see the official sedan chair in the yamen, we will definitely report it immediately."
Hearing this, Zhao Yongxian shook his head and said to Huang Fengxiang: "This is strange. The new job of Zhengtang today will not be delayed."
Looking at the officials below, Huang Fengxiang smiled and said, "What kind of person is our Lord Zhengtang? You will never be negligent. I guess it was delayed on the road."
Zhao Yongxian nodded and said, "It's okay, then let's wait a little longer."
The officials below all said yes when they heard this.
While he was speaking, a soap official came in and reported urgently: "You are the masters, Da Zongbo has arrived at the yamen."
When the officials were shocked when they heard this, Zhao Yongxian stood up and said angrily: "Are the people below you eating a good meal? Didn't you tell you that you would get rewards when you saw Da Zongbo's official sedan? Do you have your eyes growing on the top of your head?"
The soap official said with a bitter face: "Report to the master of the ministry, it's not a villain. Who knows that the uncle of the clan did not come to the official sedan chair?"
"Didn't you sit in the official sedan?" Huang Fengxiang asked in surprise, "How did the main hall come from?"
"I just sat in a two-person sedan chair, with only five or six followers, and I didn't bring any official ceremonial title. Who would have expected that Da Zong would take the sedan chair to take office!"
Huang Fengxiang and Zhao Yongxian were all disgusted when they heard this.
"Quick! Come out quickly!"
