Chapter 644： new job

Chapter 644 new position

In Wanning City, almost all imperial departments are located in the imperial city, and more importantly, the military aircraft department and the cabinet are located in the inner palace, and they only play a leading role in other departments on weekdays.

It stands to reason that the Department of Astrology is a marginal department and should be placed in the most remote corner, or it should be left behind the Ministry of Rites together with Qin Tianjian.

But the Division of Astrology is different. It occupies a "treasure land of geomantic omen". Belongs to the superior department of the Division of Astrology.

On the other side, there are small imperial gardens on the outskirts of the imperial city. Compared with the imperial gardens in the inner palace, the scale is naturally much smaller, but there are 20 such small imperial gardens in the imperial city. It's for the officials to relax.

The imperial city is so large that even 20 imperial gardens are not enough, but the officials living in the imperial city, except for the female family members, are more keen on drinking tea, so the small imperial gardens are turned into vegetable gardens all the year round .

Ayu walked along a vegetable garden to the Department of Astrology.

Since she has been promoted to Lord Yuxiang, all the regulations of the Lord have been prepared and sent to the Wang family, including the identity badge of the Lord, the various shapes of the Lord, and the clothes that are rewarded according to the regulations. Jewelry, and even two nuns sent from the palace for Ayu to support the scene.

The two nuns were the Empress Dowager and the Empress. They were old people who needed to be used in the palace. They didn't have those twists and turns, so they were especially suitable for teaching Ayu some etiquette and rules.

They were just thinking that in the future when Ayu gets married, she will be the princess, no matter how eclectic she is, she should know some etiquette so as not to be ridiculed by some busy guys.

That's really disgusting.

Ayu didn't think too much about it. Mrs. Wang nodded and kept her, and Ayu didn't care. Later, I heard that those nuns were sent to another yard, as if they were going to help train a group of Useful servants.

Those servants were selected by Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Liu. Now Mrs. Wang basically doesn’t take care of them in Wanning City, and assigns all the affairs to the second daughter-in-law and the fourth daughter-in-law. As for the granddaughter-in-law, let Learn from the mother-in-law above.

"Mr. Yuxiang, the Astrologer is ahead, and the servants are waiting for you here." After Tang Yuan bowed her head, she stood aside respectfully.

Tangyuan is Ayu's personal maid, and now her status has also risen accordingly. Tangyuan can enter the imperial city that was not allowed before.

Tangyuan is extremely safe in doing things. Before entering Wanning City, she had already found someone to learn some etiquette in the capital, and she used her own monthly money.

Later, Ayu was canonized as the township lord, and Tangyuan found Mrs. Wang at the first time, and learned the rules from the two old mothers who came from the palace. I will be able to leave my teacher in a day.

She only thought that now Ayu is the only maid beside her. No matter how the Wang family treats her, she must remember her duty as a maid and must not make mistakes.

Because outsiders will only treat her as a maid, and if she loses face, that is to make Ayu lose face.

"Sister Tangyuan, you don't have to wait for me, you can go home first, I can find the way." Ayu smiled and said to Tangyuan, "It's boring to wait here, if you meet some important people with status, You still have to salute, how tiring it is."

Ayu has inquired about it, she is now a village lord, a noble person of the fifth grade, and usually does not need to salute when she meets court officials.

Officials above the fifth rank live elsewhere, and they usually don’t take this path.

The maid next to her reminded in a low voice: "Mr. Yuxiang, there is a small kitchen in the Little Royal Garden, and there is a garden connected to it. If this sister doesn't dislike it, you can go and sit there. When the time comes, I will ask her to come and pick it up." you."

Tang Yuan is also a big girl now. Speaking of it, she looks younger than the maid who led the way, but she works for the royal family, and she doesn't care about her age, only her status, so she also calls Tang Yuan her elder sister.

Ayu nodded: "Thank you—what's your name?"

"The maidservant's name is Liufang." The maid heard Ayu asking her name, and she was a little happy in her heart. When a nobleman asks her name, it is usually a good thing.

"Sister Liufang, it's the first time for our Tangyuan sister to come to the imperial city, please take care of me."

Ah Yu recalled that A Niang once told her that now that she is going to be a job in the imperial city, even if she is not in the inner palace, she still needs to follow some rules, such as giving benefits when hiring people to do things, so that others can be more attentive .

After thinking for a while, Ayu took out a handful of silver coins from her pocket, and was about to give it to the court lady, when she saw Tangyuan quietly said, "Sister Liufang, then I'll wait for you here."

Ayu looked at Tangyuan puzzledly, and with a twist of her wrist, she handed the silver key to her, and then said: "Sister Tangyuan, I heard that there are some food places in the imperial city, if I come out late, you Hungry flowers, take them to buy something to eat."

People have been getting along for so many years, so there is naturally some tacit understanding between them.

Tang Yuan followed the good advice, took the silver box and nodded: "Xie Yuxiang reminded you."

Outside, Tang Yuan always called her that.

I'm afraid that she will forget that she is a country lord, and sometimes she can walk sideways.

After this episode, under the leadership of the court lady Liufang, they bypassed two high gate walls, and finally saw a beautiful and magnificent hall, needless to say its magnificence.

"Mr. Yuxiang, it's not there, you come with your servant." Seeing that Ayu was about to walk towards the main hall, Liu Fang hurriedly reminded her, "The Department of Astrology is next to you."

They bypassed the main hall and walked into the courtyard, only to see that there was actually a small house in the courtyard. How should I put it, this house is similar to the Wang family’s in Hu’s village.

The only difference is that the Wang family in Hujia Village is now a row of green brick and large tile-roofed houses, and each elder brother has his own independent yard, but none of them went back to live.

And the small house in front of me can only be said to be similar to the ancestral house in the village of the Wang family. There are only four rooms in one row. people.

One of them was still writing documents at his desk, but when he heard the movement, he raised his head and saw Ayu, his eyes lit up immediately: "You are the legendary Lord Yuxiang, right? Your employment documents have been written for you, just need Get your stamp here and it's official!"

Ayu still didn't realize it: "Isn't there still an assessment? What about the other exams?"

Seeing that the opponent is putting up such a big battle, at least there must be many people coming.

The man let out an "ah" and said very naturally: "We have received three resumes, two of which did not meet the regulations, so they were returned. You are a township lord, so naturally everything is good, so there is no need for an assessment. Yes, I see that you are just right for our astrologer!"

Ayu: "..." Something is wrong.

Out of politeness, Ayu still asked: "Are you?"

"Oh, I am the 108th Commander-in-Chief of the Astrology Department. My name is Xie Zhen. You can call me Xiao Xie."

Ayu looked at the bony but obviously middle-aged appearance of the other party, even though she talked as much as she did, she didn't know how to answer the conversation.

"By the way, do you want to take up any position in the Astrology Department?" Xie Zhen thought for a while and asked tentatively, "How about I give you the position of Commander?"

Ayu: "..."

Otherwise, she would go to the temple next door to ask if she could make an exception and accept a woman for the sake of her being a village lord.

This astrology department, she really thinks it's a little unreliable.
