Chapter 60 Joining Honglu Temple

Today, all the officials in Honglu Temple were present to welcome Yun Qianqiu and Shen Yuan, two new colleagues.

The official position that Yun Qianqiu requested from the Supreme Emperor was not a big one. It was just a recorder from Honglu Temple in the ninth grade, so the emperor's approval was quite satisfactory.

As for Shen Yuan, he officially serves as the head of the Japanese Literature Section of Honglu Temple. Since this position was first established, the salary he enjoys is not too high or too low, so he is also listed in the ninth rank, and his salary is average. No two.

"Ms. Yun, this is your official uniform and hat."

Fan Yaozu, the minister of Honglu Temple, brought a set of neatly stacked light blue official uniforms to Shen Yuan and handed them to her. Yun Qianqiu, who was beside him, handed the official uniforms to her by the father-in-law who had just announced the decree, to show that the royal family paid her of favor.

Shen Yuan reached out to take the official uniform that she had never touched in her previous life, feeling extremely complicated.

Officialdom was like a battlefield, and she didn't want to get involved if possible.

But the current situation is overwhelming, and she has no choice but to get involved with her own life to win a future for herself and her family that is different from her previous life.

"Thank you, sir."

Fan Yaozu looked at Shen Yuan with a smile, as if he had dug up a treasure.

After Shen Yuan in official uniform asked Zhiluo to put it away. Fan Yaozu took her and introduced her to her future office location and the layout of Honglu Temple.

"Most of those books were revised into volumes by the teacher and I, but there are big problems in the explanation methods. Mrs. Shen will take those books back today and see how to improve them. If you have any new ideas, Remember to come to see me as soon as possible, anyway, the official joining will be in three days."

When a new official joins the job, the office space and other things need to be cleared. In addition, this time Yun Qianqiu, the only queen of the Yan Dynasty, comes here, so naturally we can't be too perfunctory.

Shen Yuan counted the days and found that in three days, Fang Xuelin would get married exactly two days later. By then she would be able to move from Tingzhou to the capital, which would make it easier for her to be busy with her duties as head of the Japanese literature section. She nodded in agreement.

When a new official joins the job, according to past practice, Honglu Temple will hold a public banquet.

Since it is a public feast, it will naturally be reimbursed by the Ministry of Rites.

Since he didn't have to spend his own money, Fan Yaozu was generous and chose Tongjutang Restaurant, the largest restaurant in the capital.

The last time Shen Yuan came here, she and Fan Yaozu just stayed on the second floor with average specifications.

This time, we went directly to the fourth floor with the highest specifications.

On the road, Shen Yuan and Yun Qianqiu were walking together when they heard an official say that in the past when holding such public banquets, Fan Yaozu usually only took people to the second floor. This time, it was because of Yun Qianqiu's favor that he was able to come to the fourth floor to take a look.

According to Shen Yuan's understanding of the history of the Yan Dynasty, inviting guests to official banquets was considered a bad habit during this period.

Most officials would squander money wantonly under the guise of eating and drinking at public expense, and she knew countless things before she and Pei Zhaoxue got married.

When it was Honglu Temple's turn, she thought it was about the same, but she never thought that Fan Yaozu was an exception.

According to her understanding, he is nearly fifty this year. He entered the officialdom when he was in his twenties and was promoted to the official position of Minister of Honglu Temple when he was in his thirties. After all, it has been almost twenty years, and he is still the first. Bring your subordinates to the fourth floor for the first time?
  "A Yuan, can we work together in the future? I don't know much about recording things, so I'm a little scared. If it doesn't work then, why don't we forget it?" Yun Qianqiu interrupted Shen Yuan. Thoughts.

She regained her composure and paused, looked at her seriously and said, "Don't say such things in the future. Now that you have chosen to take the first step, you must completely change your way of life. How can you give up halfway?"

There is a big problem with Yun Qianqiu's subconscious tendency to shrink back when things happen. She is also aware of this problem. After being told by Shen Yuan, she bit her lip and lowered her head, looking a little disappointed.

"I understand."

The waiter who led the way looked at the large group of people coming over and found that there were also two young girls among them. He just regarded them as playthings brought by this group of people. After going out, he specially said something to the maid. When the group of people entered the private room and the maid came to serve them tea, Shen Yuan keenly discovered that it was as if the maid had not seen her and Yun Qianqiu at all, except that she did not serve them two tea.

Before leaving, he looked at them with contempt, as if they were dirty things.

Yun Qianqiu seemed to be used to this kind of look, and he could tell at a glance that he had experienced it frequently in Prince Andu's palace.

Seeing her embarrassment, she grabbed the hem of her skirt and bit her lip to avoid the maid's gaze. She didn't even have the intention to say anything. Shen Yuan frowned and called the maid.

"Wait, come here."

When the maid was stopped, she was stunned for a moment. She just glanced sideways at Shen Yuan, then pretended to be deaf and continued walking out, not taking her seriously at all.

Shen Yuan was not surprised when he saw this, and sighed to Yun Qianqiu: "I also said that I could drink some tea to quench my thirst. Now that she's gone, I don't know when we can drink again."

When it comes to Yun Qianqiu herself, she will always be cowardly.

But now that she saw Shen Yuan looking disappointed and licking her dry lips, she clenched her fist and boldly spoke out to stop the maid again.

"Stop and come over here. Why did you leave before you even served us tea?"

This time her voice was loud, and other people in the room also noticed it and looked at the maid.

The maid could no longer pretend to be deaf, so she could only walk towards Shen Yuan and Shen Yuan with tea in hand.

But as she got closer, she muttered in a low voice: "It's not shameful for this guy to be hanging out with such a bunch of men."

Several other officials were drinking tea and chatting not far away. The room was noisy and the maid's voice was low, so only Shen Yuan could hear it.

In today's Yan Dynasty, prostitutes are laughed at but not the poor, and prostitutes are the most despised.

Shen Yuan had already guessed that the maid might have misunderstood, but she had no intention of coddling her.

After the maid put down the tea, she asked her directly: "What are you talking about?"

Her voice was not loud and Fan Yaozu and the others couldn't hear her. The maid thought that Shen Yuan had a guilty conscience and hummed while pouring the tea: "You know what I'm talking about. If you don't find someone who has hands and feet, You are doing serious work, but you are playing other people's toys, it's really a declining world!"

There were many women who could come to Tongjutang Restaurant to spend money. She and Yun Qianqiu showed no frivolity from beginning to end, but the maid directly concluded that they were prostitutes and did not think that they might just be the daughters of Fan Yaozu and others or their friends.

Ultimately, it’s subconscious bias that’s at work.

This is just like the fact that if a modern woman earns money to buy a luxury car or a villa, she will be considered as having an unclean source of money.

But she could understand the man's prejudice, but she found it a bit funny that the maid, who was a woman like them and also knew how difficult it was for women, also thought so.

She suppressed Yun Qianqiu who was about to say something, chuckled, and suddenly took off the money bag from her waist and placed it on the table.

 It's time to take a career path.

  Off-topic: The editor said that this data may still be satisfactory, so I will take a look at it. I will write it normally on Thursday, but it must not be too long. Mainly, this kind of slap-in-the-face plot flow is too difficult for me. This is my first try, I probably won’t touch it again after this time hhhh.
