Chapter 546(2/2)
There was still colorful clouds outside the door, and she saw her holding the memorial in both hands and saying, "Uncle Jiao just sent someone to deliver this thing."
"Arrived so quickly?!"
Mrs. Wang's eyes flashed with joy, and she took it and flipped through it. She didn't quite understand what the Academy of Engineering, academician, or chief engineer was like in the front. Fortunately, Jiao Shun had detailed notes at the back.
She scanned it briefly and found that the official position prepared for her son was a sixth-grade official position, and she felt more and more happy.
Jia Zheng was promoted to the fifth rank, but he was already in his twenties at that time. Baoyu was only fifteen now, so it was a blessing to be promoted to the sixth rank. The main reason was that she didn't take a closer look, as will be said later.
, maybe it’s not necessarily the seventh level in the end.
Now that she was at ease, Mrs. Wang's thoughts on the other side became even more unbearable.
At that moment, he held the fold and said, "Let's go to the front yard to meet the master!"
Caixia was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then reminded her happily: "Madam, do you want to touch up your makeup first?"
Touch up makeup?
Mrs. Wang was also stunned, and soon realized that she had mistakenly thought that she went to see Jia Zheng all night in order to reunite.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, not to mention that my heart was full of Jiao Shun now, and if I really wanted to get back together with Jia Zheng, I'm afraid he wouldn't agree.
Furthermore……
He doesn't have that ability, you know?
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm doing this all for Baoyu!"
Mrs. Wang scolded her and went to the front yard all night with Caixia Caiyun. She first showed the memorial to Jia Zheng, and then encouraged Jia Zheng to hold a banquet as a reward full of expectations.
If it hadn't been getting late, I would have urged Jia Zheng to post immediately, and that night would have been a good thing.
…………
It's early morning.
As soon as Jiao Shun got up from Xing Xiuyan, he sleepily called Siqi and Hongyu to help him wash up. Outside, Xiangling got an invitation from Jia Zheng. They were still in the Grand View Garden or the Lotus Champs.
This suddenly reminded him of the experience that night, and he couldn't help but secretly gnashed his teeth and thought, Tanchun and Wang Xifeng collided with each other, and he could still make peace, but what if Mrs. Wang also wanted to share a piece of the pie?
So I decided that I would not pretend to be drunk even if I was beaten to death at night. I had to go in and come out vertically.
Let’s ignore this matter for now.
When he arrived at the Yamen, he received another post, but Mei Guangyan, who had failed to do so yesterday, came to the door again with persistence.
This time Jiao Shun was not worried anymore and immediately ordered people to bring Mei Guangyan in.
Not to mention, Mei Guangyan was a very handsome person in life, so it was no wonder that the second master of the Xue family fell in love with her when he was able to coax her.
Although he was a little timid, he was still very arrogant when he entered the door, with a mighty and unyielding posture. After being looked up and down by Jiao Shun, his whole person shrank a little, and he instantly degenerated from a strong point to a strong one.
"What a coincidence."
Jiao Shun did not look at where he was seated. He picked up the tea cup and fiddled with the tea stem with the lid. He said calmly: "If Mr. Mei doesn't come here in the past two days, I should send someone to invite you over. Now the only officials in the engineering school are you and me."
"Two of you, Jiao is in charge of the General Affairs Office of the Ministry of Works and is very busy. The reconstruction project at the Engineering School will definitely require you to spend more time."
The emperor's urging was even more urgent, but Jiao Shun didn't have any good ideas at the moment, so he could only assign a "big job" to Mei Hanlin first, hoping to create opportunities to exploit every opportunity.
However, this trick may not actually work. After all, with the current officialdom habits, few officials will stay at the construction site to do it themselves. At most, they can supervise the work during the day. If they can persist until the off-duty time, they have already taken on the responsibility.
I deserve the word 'diligence'.
It would be great if there was some way to allow him to have food and accommodation at the construction site.
"this……"
When Mei Guangyan saw that Jiao Shun had assigned her a hard job as soon as they met, she thought he was deliberately giving her small shoes to wear. She subconsciously wanted to refuse, but what Jiao Shun said was indeed reasonable. Now there are only two officials in the entire engineering school.
Son, if you don’t send yourself, who else can you send?
So when the refusal came to the lips, it turned into: "Your Majesty has your destiny, and the official will not dare to disobey it. It's just that the official has been in the Hanlin Academy for a long time and has never participated in these common affairs, but he is afraid..."
"rest assured."
Jiao Shun took a sip of green tea and said: "I will tell you what to do when the time comes. Besides, we are affiliated with the Ministry of Industry. How many of the people below dare to fool us?"
In fact, the Ministry of Industry has done a lot of shoddy projects, but Mei Hanlin has always been a nerd, so how could he know the fishiness involved?
Sure enough, he breathed a sigh of relief at that moment, and then said hurriedly: "Then I can rest assured, but I was transferred because of my love affair, and my mother's coffin still needs to be sent to her hometown in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for burial. Please allow me a few days to wait for my mother to be sent to her."
After his coffin leaves Beijing, he will return to his post."
"Uh-huh?!"
Jiao Shun sat up straight suddenly. He suddenly remembered that he went to the Mei family dressed as a government servant that night. Only Mrs. Mei knew about it, and Mrs. Mei would definitely not take the initiative to expose this matter.
That is to say...
"Your father-in-law passed away?"
He pretended to be surprised and asked: "When did it happen? You and I are colleagues, so why should I come to express my condolences?"
Although I used the old lady as an excuse for both visits, it is indeed a bit...
But wasn’t this forced by Jia Yucun and the emperor?
Alas~
