Chapter 625: Contents of the Ceremony
"Master Wu, thank you for your praise! Perhaps it is Master Scholar's consideration for me? Aren't you all busy? I have just arrived and I have to find something to do. Although I am afraid, I dare not disobey your orders. I will have to ask the seniors for more advice in the future."
Jiang Youzhen still looked worried. The others said a few polite words, and Wu Mian sneered and then turned his head away.
"The part I am responsible for has not been sorted out yet. If Lord Jiang wants to see it, I'm afraid you will have to wait a few days." Huang Mintao looked at Jiang Youzhen apologetically.
"I agree too." Lu Ming immediately followed suit.
Wu Mian pretended not to hear, but Wang Xingzhi stood up and placed the book in his hand in front of Jiang Youzhen.
"Although I haven't finished organizing it yet, I am responsible for the beginning, which I specially organized. You can take a look at it first, and I will give it to you after I have organized it."
Wang Xingzhi originally wanted to stay out of the matter, but he couldn't stand the way others were ostracizing Jiang Youzhen.
This reminded him of how they had excluded him when he first arrived. He was the one doing all the heavy and complicated work, and they followed behind to take advantage.
Although he was confident in his abilities, he was sometimes careless and would be reprimanded by his superiors. In addition, he was not good at speaking politely, so his superiors did not like him.
If he didn't have some abilities, he would have been transferred somewhere else long ago.
But he didn't care, he always felt that gold would shine wherever it was.
Wang Xingzhi's character can be described as one who hates evil, but over the years, he has been smoothed over. One of the reasons why he stepped forward today was that he felt that Jiang Youzhen was pleasing to his eyes.
Jiang Youzhen thanked him quickly, stood up and bowed solemnly.
The corners of Wang Xingzhi's mouth curved up slightly, barely perceptibly, but it was fleeting.
"But before you leave, you have to return it to me."
This is the rule. Places like the Hanlin Academy involve a lot of confidential information, and it is even more impossible to give the content you compiled to others.
Jiang Youzhen said yes repeatedly, then sat down and started reading.
Wang Xingzhi's handwriting is very beautiful. Even his regular script is written with such force that it can be seen through the paper.
The handwriting was very pleasing to the eye. After appreciating it, Jiang Youzhen began to read the content at the beginning of the chapter.
Volume One is from the Imperial Clan Court. There aren't many princes in this dynasty, plus some former royal relatives, so it should be easy for four people to compile this article.
After reading this beginning, Jiang Youzhen had an idea in mind.
At the beginning, the princes and dukes are listed one by one according to their ranks, and their fiefs are marked. Then comes the ancestral precepts, but it is just a general list.
Jiang Youzhen asked how much time was given, and Wang Xingzhi said ten days.
Jiang Youzhen:......
She finally understood the efficiency of the Hanlin Academy. Although it would take a lot of time to look up information, there were few royal relatives in this dynasty, and all those with titles were recorded. How much time would it take?
The ancestral precepts are even easier, as they are written in the royal family genealogy. Does this require four people?
The Ministry of Personnel's report was so long, but Master Qian only gave her one month. It was really speechless.
According to Wang Xingzhi, he is only responsible for the titles and fiefs of the prince and duke.
Huang Mintao was in charge of the ancestral precepts, while Wu Mian and Lu Ming were in charge of the finishing work, namely the year in which the Zongrenfu of this dynasty was established and the officials who founded it.
In fact, the work of ancestral precepts is the easiest. Although the finishing work requires less words, there are more documents to check.
Then they will hand over their respective works to Huang Mintao for integration, and give them to the Bachelor of Lectures or the Bachelor of Reading for further review before finally presenting them to Bachelor Qian.
With a plan in mind, Jiang Youzhen planned to go to Wenyuan Pavilion in the afternoon to look for documents and then go to the Ministry of Personnel before leaving office.
She will definitely have to go to the Ministry of Personnel several times, and she will not be allowed to take the files there with her, so she will definitely be a frequent visitor in the future.
It was soon noon. The government office did not provide meals, so everyone had food sent from home.
Of course, if no one delivers it, you must bring it yourself in the morning, and then go to the small kitchen here to heat it up at noon. But you have to pay copper coins, and you still have to heat it up yourself, no one will help you.
This small kitchen was proposed by Bachelor Qian, because he saw that many officials from poor families brought their own meals and just soaked them in hot water at noon, which would hurt the stomach over time.
Jiang Youzhen had a bad impression of Qian Songyun because of Qian Chongen. The Qian family in the capital went to the Fourth Prince, and in order to win her over, they used dishonorable means.
Qian Chongen was threatened by Qian Songyun. Although Qian Songyun succeeded in the end, he was still implicated in the incident and almost became a disabled person.
It was also said that Qian Chongen was originally a direct descendant of the Qian family in the capital, but he was a concubine's son. The direct descendant was unwilling to acknowledge him, so he was adopted by a branch of the family, which not only preserved the reputation of the Qian family, but also solved the problem of where this illegitimate son would go.
Qian Chongen came to Tongzhou Prefecture from the capital, but his stepmother in the capital could not tolerate him.
She had a good relationship with Qian Chongen, so she naturally stood on Qian Chongen's side. However, after meeting Qian Songyun today, she felt that the world was not black and white, and the different positions of each person were also an important factor.
Qian Songyun wanted to dampen her spirit, but he was not doing anything unforgivable. Of course, it was also possible that he did it for the sake of the Fourth Prince.
But even from this small kitchen, one can still see that this person occasionally still sympathizes with his subordinates.
Shaking her head, Jiang Youzhen was waiting for Mu Yuan to bring her food.
She had told the mansion yesterday that meals would be delivered to the gate of the Hanlin Academy at noon every day and someone would go to pick them up.
"Eh? Lord Jiang, why haven't you eaten yet? But the food hasn't been delivered yet? I have quite a bit here. If you don't mind, why don't you eat with me?"
Huang Mintao saw that Jiang Youzhen was still sitting in his seat without moving and had no food in front of him, so he asked.
"Oh! It hasn't been delivered yet. I have asked Mu Daizhao to get it!" Jiang Youzhen smiled and replied.
They ate in the next room, where there were two long tables.
The five rooms in the Zhuangyuan Hall are arranged in such a way that the three in the middle are connected to form a large study room, where they all work together.
The other two side rooms, the one on the east side is for storing books, tables, chairs, etc., and the one on the west side is the dining room.
Jiang Youzhen was sitting at the table waiting, but maybe it was because Mu Yuan walked too slowly or the food was delivered late, the other four had already opened their lunch boxes and were ready to eat.
A person’s family background can be seen from his diet, and Huang Mintao is the richest among them.
The three-layer mahogany food box with gold painting smells fragrant as soon as it is opened.
Jiang Youzhen watched him put out the bowls and plates in the lunch box, three dishes, a soup, and two white steamed buns.
Four-happiness meatballs, fried eggplant with minced meat, salted chicken and a dish of basil and shrimp soup. His chef must be quite skilled in cooking. The smell makes people salivate.
