There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 577 (One more update) Got mad again
That's because a gossip woman from the Cao family came to tell her that Zhao Shicheng had won the first place.

How could she bear this?
Then Logan is still not proud of himself?

She was unhappy, so she called Lu You to her and reprimanded her for a while.

"Didn't you say that you are confident? Why did you only get No.2?" Tang was annoyed.

I couldn't eat breakfast, and I didn't want to eat lunch. I only drank half a bowl of tea at the moment, and my throat was smoky after I taught Lu You a lesson, and I still didn't want to stop.

The anger in my heart has not been vented.

Wang Yun stood aside and said with a smile on his face, "Anyway, Sanlang is the second best. The two brothers of the Cao family, one is the last and the other is the fifteenth. They are far worse than Sanlang."

Tang glanced at Wang Yun, and said coldly, "Didn't you teach him well? Let him study more and worry less about other things."

Wang Yun was embarrassed by the words.

She was secretly angry, before when Tang Wan was around, Lu Sanlang did even worse in the exam, but this time he was at second place, so why blame her?

She was so angry that she turned her head away, pinched her sleeves, and said nothing.

Lu You comforted Tang, "Mother, I will definitely get the first place in the exam next time."

"Next time?" Tang sneered, "There is no fixed time for the lock hall exam. Sometimes it takes place once a year, sometimes every two years, and sometimes every three years. Next time? When will it be the next time?"

Lu You was speechless.

The mother and son were confronting each other, and Mrs. Zeng who was beside Tang came up and said, "Madam, Mrs. Li and Master Luo Biao are here."

Tang shi felt a headache when he heard Li Jiaoniang's name.

She waved to Lu You and his wife, "I have a headache, and I don't want to see anyone again. You entertain them for me."

"Yes, mother." Lu You sighed inwardly, turned and left.

Wang Yun gave the Tang family a blessing and followed suit.

Tang shi was lying on the imperial concubine chair, he could only breathe out but not in, he stroked his forehead with his hands, and sighed.

Mrs. Zeng couldn't stand it any longer, and said from the side, "Madam, the third young master did well in the exam this time, but it was because of other reasons that he came in second."

"I don't care what the reason is, if I don't have No.1, I just can't!" Tang said angrily, "It's not good for him to lose to anyone, why did he lose to Zhao Shicheng?"

Mrs. Zeng opened her mouth and stopped talking.

With Tang's temper at this moment, he couldn't continue talking.

She just heard from Mrs. Li that Lu Sanlang's article was well written, but the paper was a little dirty, because there was a presiding judge who loved cleanliness very much and couldn't see any dirty things.

Comparing the two, he chose Zhao Shicheng as No.1.

But Tang Corps didn't let her speak.

Well, she will not speak.

.

Seeing Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng coming, Lu You smiled wryly and said, "Look, I guessed it right, the first name can't be me. You didn't believe it at the time, so you insisted on comforting me."

Luo Cheng said, "Third Cousin, your article is indeed well written, and you can get the first place. It's only because of another trivial matter that it affects the ranking."

Lu You laughed at himself, "Don't comfort me, I might be really poor in knowledge."

With his hands behind his back, he raised his head and sighed.

Li Jiaoniang said, "It's not about learning, it's about third cousin's paper, there's a little more ink on it. It's about that bit of ink being bad."

Lu You looked at her suddenly, "A little ink? What a little ink?"

Li Jiaoniang took out the exam paper copied by Zhao Gui from her sleeve and handed it to Lu You, "This is a copy of your exam paper, and there is a little more ink in this place. When the presiding officer approved the paper, he said that this point fell on the 'top'." 'The word here is disrespectful to officials."

Lu You was stunned for a moment.

He didn't know whether to laugh at his sloppyness, or to laugh at how not bad he was.

It turned out that the one who lost to No.1 just had a little more ink!

Luo Cheng said, "Third Cousin, there will be another trial in the lock hall next year, and we will make persistent efforts next time."

Lu You took a deep breath and said with a smile, "I'm very satisfied to be second. I didn't expect to be the first."

Li Jiaoniang said, "Third Cousin, after the exam, what are you going to do next?"

She was a little worried that Lu You would not come to Lin'an after running back to Yuezhou.

Lu You said, "Let's wait for the notification from the court. I'm second anyway, and I will arrange a job more or less. Therefore, I will continue to stay in Lin'an City."

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "In this case, we can rest assured. With an errand, Third Cousin will have a chance to get promoted."

Lu You smiled wryly, "It's not the first name, and the official position will not be very high. According to the past practice, it is just a low-ranking ninth-rank official in various yamen."

Luo Cheng said, "It's better than having no job. Nine ranks are nine ranks. Do it first. If you do well, you will definitely be promoted. Besides, if you do well in the exam next time, you can also be promoted."

The lock hall test in this period is a bit like the modern vocational retraining assessment.

Those who hold positions will be promoted if they do well in the exam, and those who do poorly in the exam will be demoted.

Although the few powerful errands at the top of the pyramid are occupied by people from several big families, there are still many occupations at the bottom of the pyramid.

If you do well at the bottom, you can also be promoted, or you can rise to the top of the spire.

For the children from poor families, this is a good opportunity to jump out of the poor family.

Lu You was still depressed just now, but after being comforted by Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng in turn, he was not so discouraged.

"Yes, let's fight again next time! Next time, I will change to a better pen."

.

The next day, the yamen in the yamen of the Ministry of Rites came to Cao's house.

Lu You was assigned to work in the Ministry of Rites, an eight-rank clerk, two ranks higher than he had imagined.

Wang Yun heaved a sigh of relief, Lu You finally had an errand.

But Tang was not happy.

She heard that Zhao Shicheng became Lu You's immediate boss, a fifth-rank official!

This disparity is more than 01:30 points.

Working in the same yamen, being overwhelmed by his ex-wife's current husband every day, how can this be endured?
Lu You didn't think there was anything wrong, but Tang was upset, so he called Lu You in front of him and reprimanded him.

"Sanlang, let's resign from that official position. I'm just an eighth-rank official. What's there to do?" Tang was quite dissatisfied with Lu You's clerical position.

The position of copying and writing has no future at all.

Wang Yun's face immediately grew longer, "Mother, what is he doing now that he has resigned?"

Although it is the eighth grade, but at least there is a salary, right?

Eating her food and using her food every day, Wang Yun didn't want to make up for it anymore.

Tang sneered, "What is hard to find? Lin'an City is so big, you can always find something to do."

Lu You closed his eyes, sighed inwardly, and came again.

He lied and said, "It is said in the Yamen that you are not allowed to resign. Your son is taking the exam for a job in the Ministry of Rites. If you fail to take the job after passing the exam, you will be punished severely. You will also be marked down. If you get the first name, but you have a tainted record, you won’t be able to get promoted to a higher position.”

Tang blinked, "Is there such a thing? Why haven't I heard of it?"
