Rebirth and madness, I am no longer the mistress of this high-class family!

Chapter 27: The position of Japanese language section chief (please vote for favorites)

"What are you looking at? You don't want to look at that person who looks like a noble person at first glance? Hurry up and do your job!"

The young man looked away, his face obscured by his messy hair drooped, suppressing the look of inferiority in his eyes, he picked up the swill bucket and walked out of the restaurant.

Seeing this, the idle waiter asked the waiter who had just spoken to the young man: "Hey, who is that person? He looks like a beggar, why does the restaurant still hire someone like him?"

"His name? His name is Cui Shao. Aren't there a group of people who will be sent to the palace to be eunuchs immediately? Some of them are from poor backgrounds and have no money to buy the medicine to be used after castration. Our restaurant sells stewards who bring people here. It’s a face-saving thing that means those who don’t have money can come and do menial work to get a start, and he is one of them.”

The inquiring clerk was puzzled: "What are you doing to sell them face? These people usually can only be little eunuchs after entering the palace, right?"

"Tsk, are you stupid? Have you forgotten the current Eunuch Wang Defu? At that time, he was just a little eunuch with a mediocre background. Later, he still sat in a high position. Our restaurant owner is so foresight. Once this happens, One of the people who has been helped by our restaurant will be in a high position in the future, how can he not be grateful for the kindness of the restaurant?"

The discussion between the two was not quiet, and Cui Shao heard a lot before leaving.

He had thought about entering the palace as a eunuch for a long time. Before making this decision, he would feel depressed every time he heard the word eunuch.

Without him, if he had a choice, why wouldn't he want to be a normal man?
  But fortunately, everything turned around.

He lifted the swill bucket in his hand to the place where he poured the swill, and was already looking forward to meeting Shen Yuan in the afternoon.

She had bought him and told him that she could find a way to help him avoid castration and directly help him enter the palace as a eunuch.

This method can only be told to him after we meet in the afternoon.

Cui Shao glanced at the position where he had just seen her figure, and for some reason, he felt the urge to see her in advance.

But he lowered his head and looked at the puddle in front of him, from which he could clearly see the corrosion marks on the left side of his face. He felt a burning pain, and quickly suppressed this ridiculous thought and continued to work.

Shen Yuan opened the window of the restaurant to get some air and sat on the rabbit fur cushion by the window.

The Honglu Temple Qing opposite seemed to be afraid of the cold. She shrank down as soon as she opened the window, but she still pretended to be calm and talked to Shen Yuan about purchasing sea urchins.

"Your Excellency could have discussed the purchase with my brother in person yesterday, but you avoided him and came to talk to me, your sister, alone. It must not be just for this matter, right?"

There are two cups of hot tea poured on the table.

The tea I chose was aged Longjing. The brewed tea soup was beautiful and fragrant.

Shen Yuan did not move it, but looked directly at the upright-looking Honglu Temple Minister Fan Yaozu in front of him.

"I heard from Mr. Pei that Mrs. Pei helped him a lot on his way to becoming a great minister. I didn't believe it at first, but now I think it's me who underestimated Mr. Pei."

"Just call me Mrs. Shen."

Listening to him address Mrs. Pei one by one, Shen Yuan felt like an accessory that couldn't live without Pei Zhaoxue.

Fan Yaozu was stunned for a moment, but even though he didn't quite understand, he still followed the instructions.

"I specially invited Mrs. Shen to come out today because I want to tell you that Honglu Temple is recruiting for the position of director of Japanese literature. If Mrs. Shen is willing, I can ask your majesty for instructions. It shouldn't be a big problem."

In the past, the Yan Dynasty did not allow women to participate in officialdom, but five years ago, almost all the members of the Protector General's family sacrificed their lives for the country and sacrificed their lives to win the title of Queen for their orphan Yun Qianqiu. Everything happened. Change.

The Supreme Emperor took the initiative and opened up some official positions that women could hold, and many more female officials were added to the palace.

But this kind of thing, which is almost a reversal of yin and yang in the eyes of everyone, must have caused quite a stir and was opposed by many people.

As a result, from five years ago to the present, there are very few people who are really willing to try the position of female officer.

Even if there are, most of them are married widows, or women who have vowed not to marry. Otherwise, if a woman from a serious family frequently appears in public, her future marriage will be difficult to discuss. As time goes by, fewer and fewer women will try for official positions.

In her previous life, Shen Yuan was full of thoughts of supporting Pei Zhaoxue to rise to a high position, and she never considered herself at all.

After listening to what Fan Yaozu said, he felt a little moved after being stunned.

Not long after the new emperor of the Yan Dynasty ascended the throne, the regime was not yet very stable.

The empress dowager was eyeing him, the regent was watching him closely, and foreign enemies had been threatening to invade him in recent years, which led to a major reshuffle in the status of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce in the entire Yan Dynasty.

Nowadays, although everyone still talks about cheap merchants and looks down on people with merchant backgrounds, the status of merchants has surpassed farmers due to changes in the internal situation, and is closely behind scholars.

She plans to go into business in the future, but having a business is not enough, she must also have power.

In ancient times like the Yan Dynasty, as a woman, she did not have a strong mother's family to back her up, so she would not be able to go very far in her official career.

But it is not difficult to reach a position that is neither high nor low, just enough to protect the Shen family.

Shen Yuan did not give Fan Yaozu a quick answer, but just asked him about the deadline for recruitment.

"This matter is of great importance. I have to ask my family for their thoughts before I can make a decision."

Fan Yaozu could also understand that Shen Yuan would have concerns, but he was relieved when she didn't refuse immediately.

"It's easy to say, as long as you are willing to consider it. I really have no choice. After all, Japanese grammar is not easy to learn, and there are almost no qualified people in the government office."

"The deadline is at the end of this month. There is still half a month to go. Madam Shen can think about it carefully. There is no need to rush."

It was approaching noon, and Shen Yuan had lunch with Fan Yaozu in the restaurant before leaving.

She also made an appointment with Cui Shao in the afternoon, and the place was also in a restaurant, but it was an ordinary place, and its standards were much inferior to Tongjutang Restaurant.

The agreed time was at three quarters past noon in the afternoon, but now it was only four quarters past noon, so it was still early.

Shen Yuan then thought about going to various clothing stores in the capital to look at the styles, so as to find inspiration for designing new styles for Shen's shop's clothing stores in the future.

The capital area was large and it was the most prosperous place in the Yan Dynasty.

There were hundreds or even thousands of ready-made clothing shops, large and small. It was impossible for Shen Yuan to go to every one, so he sent Zhiluo to inquire about a few well-known ones and went in to inspect them one by one.

After wandering around for almost an hour, she already had a rough idea in her mind. She took Zhiluo and prepared to leave from the last tailor shop.

At this time, a loud shouting sound came from the door.

"We have clearly agreed on a 73% share for us, but now you only give me a 91% share. Isn't this obvious bullying? In order to draw this design for you, my sister even worked even though she was sick. You king Remember, this is what clothing stores do?!"

"Bah! What are you talking about? This design draft has nothing to do with your sister. She just helped with the coloring. How could it be drawn by her?"

　Cui Shao: Wow, I don’t deserve it.

　　Pei Zhaoxue: As long as you know.

　　Shen Yuan: Are certain people qualified to speak?
  　　Pei:.
