"Eunuch Li, what are you doing? Get it back quickly." Qin Mu said unhappy and pushed the silver note back.

"Mr. Qin, this is my gift, you must accept it." Li Yongzhen forced the silver notes to Qin Mu again.

"Eunuch Li, how can I ask for your money?" Qin Mu said with some embarrassment.

"Mr. Qin, I said, this is my little intention. Now you are a fourth-rank official. I have to give you a gift. If you don't accept it, you will look down on our family." Li Yongzhen said. Li Yongzhen was optimistic about Qin Mu and was willing to invest in him.

"Eunuch Li, since you said that, I'll accept it."

Qin Mu thought about it and took Li Yongzhen's silver, otherwise he would seem to have a relationship with him. In the future, everyone would have eaten underground in Eunuch Wei, so they should not offend this eunuch Wei Zhongxian trusted the most.

"That's right. Everyone will be a family in the future." Li Yongzhen said happily.

"Yes, yes, we'll be a family in the future."

Qin Mu said a little against his will, but he was thinking, who is a family with you? You are an old eunuch, and you will not be able to fight your family for eight lifetimes.

"Young Master Qin, do you want me to accompany you to Dali Temple?" Li Yongzhen asked.

"Eunuch Li, thank you for your kindness, no need."

Qin Mu refused to say that he would go to Dali Temple to take up his post and ask the eunuchs from the East Factory to follow him. That would be nothing. Others think that he would take the people from the East Factory to Dali Temple to show off his power and show off his power. How can he deal with his colleagues in the future?

"Okay, since I'll leave first, there are still some things in the palace. I'll have a good drink with you when I come back tonight." After Li Yongzhen said that, he left. After all, it's not easy to be a eunuch, and he has to serve his master.

"Come." Qin Mu shouted outside the house.

Liu Wu and Liu San had already gotten up outside. They wore new light blue shirts, red belts, black flat scarfs, and three peacock feathers and a pheasant tail. They came in happily.

This time, my master became a fourth-rank official, so they couldn't help but feel happy. They would be more proud of going out with such a big official.

Didn’t the storyteller say that “one person is enlightened, and the chicken and dog are ascending to heaven”. The two of them depended on Qin Mu. After all, they were slaves bought by the master from the slave market. In their lifetime, and their descendants were slaves from the master’s house. It can be said that these people rely on the master to make a living. Once the master becomes a high-ranking official, they can also benefit from the blessings.

"Sir, the sedan chair is ready and I'm already waiting outside." A servant from the Wei Mansion came in and said,

"Very good." Qin Mu walked out of Wei's mansion and got into the sedan chair, and said in a deep voice: "Get up the sedan chair!"

In fact, there are regulations for officials of the Great Qin Dynasty to ride horses and sit in sedan chairs. The "Da Qin Law" stipulates that officials above the fourth rank of Beijing are allowed to ride sedan chairs, and officials below the fourth rank of Beijing and outside can only ride horses and are not allowed to ride sedan chairs.

There are also differences in the entourages of officials, including 10 dukes, 8 marquises, 6 earls, 6 first-rank officials to third-rank officials, 4 fourth-rank officials to sixth-rank officials, and 2 seventh-rank officials to ninth-rank officials.

When military and civilians in the street market do business and ride on donkeys and horses, when they meet a Duke and Marquis, first-rank to fourth-rank officials pass by, they must immediately dismount and give way. When officials meet, officials with lower ranks must use methods such as standing sideways and avoiding to give way.

Qin Mu was wearing an official uniform, sitting upright in the sedan chair, feeling the trembling feeling, and really wasn't used to being a sedan chair...

"Master, the Dali Temple Yamen has arrived."

About half an hour passed, Liu Wu said outside the sedan chair.

"Set down."

Qin Mu nodded and lifted the curtain of the sedan chair. What disappointed Qin Mu was that he had arrived at the door of Dali Temple, but no one came out to pick him up.

"This is Dali Temple. Who are you looking for?"

The sergeant guarding the gate of Dali Temple asked respectfully to Qin Mu who was walking in front of him. After all, he was a senior official wearing a fourth-rank official uniform, and the sergeant dared not disrespect him.

"Bold, you are blind. Don't you know that our master is the second master of your Dali Temple? You dare to block the master's way." Liu Wu saw that the soldiers dared to block the master's way, and Liu Wu shouted to the soldiers with some vigor.

"Second Master, are you the new Dali Temple Shaoqing Lord Qin Muqin?"

The soldiers guarding the gate immediately looked at Qin Mu respectfully and asked, "The whole person in Dali Temple has heard that today, a young master of Dali Temple, Qin Mu, will come to take his post. He is the second master of Dali Temple.

But the eldest master told me in the morning that everyone would not welcome the second master. The people below understood in their hearts that the second master of Dali Temple in the future would not deal with the eldest master. It seems that Dali Temple will not be peaceful in the future.

"I am the new Shaoqing of Dali Temple."

Qin Mu said to the soldiers that before coming to Dali Temple, Qin Mu understood that he would definitely be excluded when he came to Dali Temple. After all, the main officials of Dali Temple are all Donglin Party members, so it would be strange if they would welcome him. It seems that life in Dali Temple will not be easy in the future.

"Meet the second master!"

When I saw more than a dozen soldiers kneeling down and kowtow together, how could it feel so good? Of course, it was for Qin Mu.

It was finally someone else's turn to kneel down to me after coming to the Qin Dynasty for so long. Qin Mu couldn't help but feel a little secretly happy. When he came to this world, the most unhappy thing was to kneel down to others, but he was a grass man who was nothing. If he dared to act rashly, any official could make his butt bloom... So he kept kneeling a lot. At this moment, his wife became a mother-in-law and was not worth praising. It was more important to keep her mind clear.

"Get up, I can go in now." Qin Mu asked in a conversation. Qin Mu had no intention of seeing these little people as much as they knew each other.

"Second Master, please come in, please come in."

Several soldiers quickly said respectfully that they didn't understand the struggles of these big men, but there was one thing that everyone knew that neither the big master nor the second master could offend them.

Ignoring the arrogant attitude of the soldiers at first and respectfully, Qin Mu took Liu Wu and Liu San to Dali Temple.

Although Qin Mu was a little fluttering, his mind was still clear. He remembered that he was just the second-in-command of Dali Temple and had to do things in a low-key manner.

After entering the yamen and bypassing the Xiao Wall, Qin Mu began to kneel three times in one step, and visited the ritual gate in the public uniform... He was glad just now that he didn't have to kneel down easily, so he was slapped in the face. But when he thought that even if the chief of the Dali Temple took office, he would still have to kneel down at the ritual gate, Qin Mu felt much more balanced.

When he entered the Yimen Gate, he saw an old man with gray hair and bearded, wearing a wrinkled red official robe, standing on the platform with a smile. Qin Mu knew that this was his immediate boss, Lord Liang Tianqi, the chief minister of Dali Temple, and a third-rank official.

"Please pay homage to the master!" Qin Mu quickly worshiped and couldn't help but sigh again, saying... I can't say too much.

Liang Tianqi smiled and looked at Qin Mu kneeling down, then reached out to help him, and shouted: "Mr. Qin doesn't have to be polite, I have worked hard all the way."

Liang Tianqi pulled Qin Mu to the main hall and came to the hall. He first ordered him to sort out his clothes, bow to the north, and thanked the emperor for his kindness. Then he sat down with him in a panic... Qin Mu asked the master to sit down in fear. Liang Tianqi shook his head and said, "Speak loudly, I can't hear it clearly."

I don't know if it was intentional or if it was really hard to hear it clearly.

"Please take the seat of the master!"

Qin Mu had no choice but to say loudly. It seems that life in Dali Temple will not be easy in the future. As soon as he came up, his immediate boss showed him his color, and he still didn't know how to be tricky in the future.

"Haha, Lord Qin doesn't need to be polite." Liang Tianqi was fascinated and shook his head and smiled: "You will know after getting along for a long time that I am very easy-going."

"The courtesy cannot be abolished."

Qin Mu didn't know if this old man was testing him. Anyway, from the news that Qin Mu asked about, no one said that Lord Liang was very easy-going, and of course he had never heard of his ears coming, so he had to insist on it.

"I don't like to say this in the future, I don't like to hear it the most." Liang Tianqi said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes, listen to the master's teachings."

Qin Mu lowered his head with a smile and said, regardless of whether what Liang Tianqi said was true or false, he could not take it seriously anyway, otherwise he would be guilty of despising his superiors at that time, and he would be really hard to tell.

"Come." Liang Tianqi shouted outside the door.

Soon, an old man in his fifties came in, wearing a green official uniform.

"I've seen the master." The visitor respectfully bowed to Liang Tianqi.

"This is Liu Wangcheng, the temple chief of our Dali Temple, and this is the new Dali Temple Shaoqing Qin Muqin, our Dali Temple young minister," Liang Tianqi introduced.

"I've met Lord Qin."

Liu Wangcheng politely said to Qin Mu that this Liu Wangcheng was Liang Tianqi's confidant, so he was a little cold to Qin Mu, and he just gave a little politely.

The Dali Temple in the Qin Dynasty generally had: one person, the third rank; two persons, the fourth rank, six persons, the fifth rank, the chief clerk, the sixth rank, two prison clerk, the seventh rank, and six persons of the Sizhi, the sixth rank; eight persons of the judges, the seventh rank, five persons of the record, and seventh rank.

This Dali Temple Chief is an official of the sixth rank and belongs to Liang Tianqi's direct lineage.

"No gift."

Qin Mu said coldly, as normal, this Dali Temple Chief should call him the second master and respect him. Now he calls himself Lord Qin, which obviously despises him, which makes Qin Mu very upset.

"Mr. Qin, let this Liu Wangcheng take you to get to know Dali Temple, worship the yamen gods, and meet your subordinates. Then we are talking." Liang Tianqi said to Qin Mu.

After all, the emperors and officials in ancient times were superstitious. All the yamen in the Qin Dynasty had statues of yamen gods. Every person who entered the yamen to serve in the yamen would worship these yamen gods and seek their blessings.

If you don’t worship, it means that you don’t respect the gods. The consequence of not respecting the gods is that you will be ginseng and will not be an official.
