Lin Qing came out of Shen Ru's room, returned to his own room, and saw that there was an extra person on the table outside his room, and couldn't help asking: "Who are you?"
Seeing Lin Qing coming in, the man quickly got up from his seat, walked up to Lin Qing, saluted Lin Qing and said, "My lord, my surname is Xu Mingsheng, and I'm your secretary."
Lin Qing suddenly realized when he heard that it was the secretary. According to the usual practice, each servant has a secretary from the ninth rank to help with things or run errands. In other words, the one in front of him is actually his secretary.
He also has a secretary now!
Lin Qing thought to herself, nodded to Xu Sheng, and said, "Your name is Xu Sheng, where are you from?"
"The subordinates are from the capital." Xu Sheng replied.
After hearing this, Lin Qing chatted with Xu Sheng a few more words, and then walked to her seat in the inner room.
Xu Sheng hurriedly went to the outer ear room to make tea, then brought it to Lin Qing, put it on Lin Qing's desk, and arranged the paperwork that Lin Qing had to deal with, and put it on Lin Qing's desk, seeing that Lin Qing had nothing to do. Only then did he go back to his seat in the outer room and sit down.
Lin Qing looked at it and nodded secretly in his heart. It seems that his secretary still has a wink.
Lin Qing picked up the paperwork that Xu Sheng put on the table, but didn't deal with it first, but went through it from beginning to end to see what the assistant minister usually does. After he had a clear idea, he picked up the pen and started to deal with government affairs.
Lin Qing was looking at the documents on the table when he heard slight footsteps outside, and then stopped alone at the door. Xu Sheng hurried out and asked the person who came what was the matter in a low voice.
Xu Sheng talked with the people outside for a while, then went back to the house, went inside, and said to Lin Qing: "My lord, Mr. You Shilang sent his secretary to ask. My lord takes the wind, my lord will be convenient at noon today."
After hearing this, Lin Qing knew that this was a common practice, so she said, "Go and tell him that you are just free today, so you will have to pay for it."
"Yes," Xu Sheng replied.
Then he went out and talked to the secretary of the right servant outside, and then came back and said to Lin Qing: "Your servant has booked Qingyaju near the Ministry of Rites."
"Understood, when the time comes, remember to call me." Lin Qing said while approving the documents.
"Yes, my lord." Xu Sheng changed Lin Qing to another pot of hot tea, and then went back to sit.
At noon, Xu Sheng came to remind Lin Qing that the value was about to be released. Lin Qing got up, went behind the screen next to him and changed his official uniform, put on a lavender robe, then took a white jade folding fan in his hand, and walked out from behind the screen.
Xu Sheng looked at it, and hurriedly complimented him: "Your Majesty is imposing, and his appearance is extraordinary, which is beyond my generation."
Sure enough, a good secretary must learn to flatter his boss all the time, but Lin Qing was very happy to hear that, at least the compliment was very appetizing to him, Lin Qing saw that Xu Sheng also changed his clothes, and said: "Let's go! "
Then he took Xu Sheng out of the house, and when he got out of the house, he saw that there were many people waiting in the courtyard. Lin Qing looked at them and found that they were all lower than his official position. It seems that they should have come out early on purpose. , waiting for him in order to give him a good impression.
Seeing Lin Qing coming out, the officials in the courtyard hurriedly saluted Lin Qing and said, "I have seen Mr. Shi Lang."
Lin Qing returned the salute and said with a smile: "Thanks for your trouble, everyone."
The officials in the courtyard hurriedly said: "It should."
Soon, the door of the right servant's room was also opened, and the right servant came out from inside, walked up to Lin Qing, and after greeting each other with Lin Qing, he said: "Although Mr. Lin went out from the Ministry of Rites in the early years, but now he comes back, he is also a high-ranking official." That's right, Qian and his colleagues specially greeted Master Lin, and I hope Master Lin will not dislike you."
The right servant's name is Qian Gu. When Lin Qing was in the Imperial Academy, Qian Gu was already a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, so he knew Lin Qing. Lin Qing smiled and said, "Let Mr. Qian worry about it."
Then Lin Qing glanced at Shen Ru's room, and asked the members of Mr. Qian's organization: "My lord?"
"Just now I went to invite your lord personally, but your lord is in a hurry to enter the palace because he has something to do, and he said that he will go there when he leaves the palace. Let us go first." Qian Gu said.
Lin Qing nodded, and Qian Gu and his colleagues walked to Qingyaju first.
Qing Yaju is not far outside the Ministry of Rites, so the group of people didn't even need to take a car, they walked over directly, and when they arrived at Qing Yaju, they were respectfully invited to the third floor by the waiter who was waiting there in advance.
Lin Qing followed Qian Gu up to the third floor, only to find that the entire third floor is a hall with seats already arranged.
Lin Qing and Qian Gu walked to the main seat, and after being polite for a few times, they pressed their official positions on the left and right under the main seat.Sit right, of course, the main seat is reserved for the Minister of Rites, Shen Ru.
Seeing that Lin Qing and Qian Gu were seated, all the officials below also found their own seats according to their own ranks. After they were seated, Xiaoer clapped their hands, and a group of maids filed out, each with their own hands. Holding a plate of dishes, they placed them on the table in an orderly manner, then bowed slightly, and backed away.
Qian Gu smiled and said to Lin Qing: "How does Master Lin feel about this place?"
Lin Qing tapped his hand with a folding fan, and said with a smile: "The boss of this Qingyaju is an elegant man."
"Haha" Qian Gu said with a smile: "That's right, the owner of Qingyaju always likes to be courteous and elegant."
Lin Qing nodded. Looking at the calligraphy and paintings all over the wall, adding the name of the restaurant, and seeing the maids in front of him, he knew that the owner of this restaurant was a vassal and elegant. Of course, this should also be the selling point of his restaurant. After all, there is a restaurant near the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites has a group of people who dance and write every day. If the boss doesn't follow Wenya, he can't afford to open a restaurant.
Qian Gu saw that Shen Ru hadn't come yet, and he couldn't move his chopsticks first, so he said with a smile to Lin Qing: "Master Lin has been away from the Ministry of Rites for more than ten years. Although he is back now, many people must be unfamiliar with him. If you are free, how about getting acquainted?"
Lin Qing said: "Master Laoqian, I just want to meet my colleagues."
After hearing this, Qian Gu turned his head and said to the officials of the Ministry of Rites below: "Since Mr. Lin wants to get to know you, please tell me yourself!" Then he looked down.
The first one below first bowed his hands to Lin Qing and said: "I am a doctor, Sun Tao, I have met you."
Lin Qing nodded and said, "Mr. Sun is very polite."
A person opposite him bowed his hands to Lin Qing and said: "Your Majesty is the same as Mr. Sun, Wu Xun, I have met Mr. Sun."
Lin Qing nodded and said, "Master Wu is being polite."
Then Sun Langzhong, the next one, bowed his hands to Lin Qing and said: "The next official is also a Langzhong, Li Rong, I have seen you."
Lin Qing also nodded to him and said, "Master Li is being polite."
Lin Qing looked at the three people below. These three should be the three servants who failed to compete for the servant.
Behind them were a few Yuanwailang and some low-level officials. Lin Qing memorized the names of these people and didn't pay much attention to them.
After all the introductions were over, Lin Qing and Qian Gu saw that Shen Ru hadn't come yet, and it was hard to start cooking, so they asked Xiaoer to serve tea first, and everyone chatted while waiting for Master Shangshu.
Of course it was a chat, that is, Lin Qing and Qian Gu were chatting, accompanied by the three Lang Zhong, and the four Yuanwai Lang in the back accompanied them to liven up the atmosphere from time to time, and the rest who were not worthy enough were doing murals in the distance.
Qian Gu and Lin Qing generally talked about what the left and right servants should do every day, and then introduced to Lin Qing what the three servants usually do, and what the four Yuanwailang do, so that Lin Qing knows who to order when he has something to do.
After hearing this, Lin Qing kept it in her heart, and said to Qian Gu: "Thank you, Mr. Qian, for your guidance."
Qian Gu waved his hand and said, "Anyway, you'll know after a few days of work. I'm just giving a few words in advance."
Lin Qing looked at Qian Gu and knew that Qian Gu was getting older this year, and he might retire and return to his hometown in two years, so he was not very enterprising, and he also helped the younger generation a lot, so he said sincerely: " It is the blessing of the younger generation that Mr. Qian is willing to mention something to the younger generation, so how can he not dislike it. The younger generation wishes for you to say a few more words, so that the younger generation can grow up a little bit."
Qian Gu knew that Lin Qing was praising him, but he was still very happy. After all, it was more comfortable to work with a humble junior than to work with a junior who had no seniority.
So I mentioned something to Lin Qing: "The old man is old, and I can't tell you anything, but Mr. Butang, he is a transparent person, and he is your teacher. If you don't understand anything, just ask him." It's the right way."
Lin Qing hurriedly said: "The teacher also takes good care of the students, the younger generation knows that, thank you Mr. Qian."
Qian Gu talked to Lin Qing about the general division of labor in the Ministry of Rites. Lin Qing secretly observed the three doctors next to him while listening. As a servant, he didn't show any dissatisfaction in the three aspects, let alone jealousy and resentment. When talking to him, he was very respectful.
Lin Qing originally thought that during the banquet, there would be a certain Lang Zhong deliberately looking for trouble, or making things difficult for him, or there would be some minor accidents, but he didn't expect that the Fengfeng Banquet came to Shen Ru safely, nothing happened, and everyone was happy all the time Yes, even after the reception banquet was over, and everyone finished eating and went back to work, nothing went wrong.
Not only that, but in the afternoon, the three Lang Zhong, the four Yuanwai Lang, and the officials below even took the initiative to go to his room to report on their work one by one, in order to get familiar with him.
Lin Qing: ¡¡¡
