Chapter 163: Rewards
After putting away the bamboo talismans, book deeds and other items, Fu Jieling personally sent Zhang Ran out of the official office. It did not invite Zhang Ran to see him because of his youth. Instead, it was quite pleasing.
Zhang Ran knew that the reason why the other party was so optimistic was not his so-called position as the Chief of the Forbidden Pu, but the bamboo talisman that entered and exited the Forbidden Palace by the emperor...
After leaving Fu Jie Office, Zhang Ran and the others went to Shangyi Office again, and received the corresponding official robes, official seals and other things from the Zhengpu Cheng.
He walked out of the Shangyi Office with his robe. The eunuch who was traveling with him suddenly whispered to Zhang Ran: "Xiaolang, your majesty has given you a mansion to the north of Jiaque. There are all kinds of things in it, and there are slaves to take care of you. You only need to go to receive it with a letter and a contract... This mansion is carefully selected by the slave, and it is the best house in the nearby area..."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ran hurriedly bowed to thank him and said, "I'm sorry, Gong Ming is worried..."
"Where, where!" The eunuch narrowed his eyes and smiled: "The little man is not mean to his slave, but always treats him with courtesy. The slave will naturally have to repay him. What's the point of being a small matter!"
"Haha..." Zhang Ran smiled slightly, then quietly took out a piece of golden cake and stuffed it into the eunuch's hand, and asked in a low voice: "Dare you ask about the name of Ming Gong Gao?"
The eunuch suddenly felt a sank in his hand. He looked down and found another piece of yellow and orange gold. He quickly reached out and stuffed it into his sleeve. Then he smiled at Zhang Ran and said, "The lowly people of Immortality dare not insult the ancestors, so they have forgotten their previous name. However, in the palace, everyone called Nushen Shiyi, and Xiaolang called Nushen eunuchs!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ran said solemnly: "It turned out to be Shen Huanzhe, I have recorded it!"
"Haha..." Shen Huanzhe smiled slightly, and did not care too much, and continued to say to Zhang Ran: "Xiaolang, it's getting late. In more than an hour, the palace gate will be closed. I'd better send Xiaolang out of the palace as soon as possible!"
Zhang Ran looked up at the sky and found that the sun had set westward. It was indeed getting late. He hurriedly said, "I would like to ask the monk to guide you..."
"Good! Come with the slave..."
He sent Zhang Ran out of the palace gate all the way, and the monk Shen returned the bamboo basket with the book contract to Zhang Ran. Then he said goodbye to Zhang Ran with a little reluctance and turned back to the palace to report.
Looking back at the Weiyang Palace gate that was closed again and the many guards wearing armor and graceful smiles around him, Zhang Ran couldn't help but touch the wooden box in his arms, and then shook his head sadly and continued to walk forward.
After about ten minutes of walking, Zhang Ran saw the carriage he was riding in when he came, and the three Kui and his son who were looking forward to it.
"Brother Ran!"
Seeing Zhang Ran appear, Sankui waved quickly, jumped out of the car, gave Zhang Ran a bear hug, and shouted happily: "Brother Ran, just now, I heard from the Duke Dong say that the emperor has appointed you as an official and has also rewarded a lot of money. Is this true?"
Zhang Ran smiled and stuffed the bamboo basket containing the scrolls and official robes into Sankui's arms, and smiled at him, "This time I made contributions to offering treasures. The emperor not only gave me an official position, but also gave me a house and ten slaves! Look, this is my official robes and house deeds..."
"Ah!" Looking down at the soapy official robe on the top of the bamboo basket, Sankui immediately believed it. Zhang Ran seemed to have become an official!
While pulling Sankui towards the carriage, Zhang Ran smiled at him and said, "Not only me, Sankui, you have a share too! I just recommended you to the emperor. From today on, you are also an official and can receive your salary!"
"What? I've become an official too?"
Sankui exclaimed, looking at Zhang Ran with disbelief, his body trembled slightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Ran, you didn't lie to me, are you? Can I become an official even if I am like this?"
However, after looking down inadvertently, Sankui quickly said suspiciously: "Brother Ran, you are tying me, right? If I really become an official, why do you have only one official robe in your basket? Why didn't you see my official robe?"
"Uh..." Zhang Ran's smile suddenly stopped and explained to Sankui with some embarrassment: "Well, Sankui! The position given to you by the emperor is only the assistant official under my command. This assistant official is just a troupe. His robes and clothes need to be collected after I report my duties and formally take office... But don't worry, although your official position is a little smaller now, as long as you follow me to work hard, you can wear the official robe and become a high-ranking official sooner or later!"
After hearing Zhang Ran's explanation, Sankui couldn't help but grin and said, "The official who fights food... is also an official, and it is also an assistant under Brother Ran. It's better to work with Brother Ran... It's so good and worry-free! If Your Majesty gave me some officials, I really wouldn't dare to be a member of me!"
As Sankui said this, he suddenly remembered something and asked Zhang Ran curiously: "Brother Ran, is I a formal official? Compared to the official, who is older or younger?"
"Haha..." Zhang Ran couldn't help laughing happily, patted Sankui's shoulder and said, "Is this more important? Of course, your official position is greater than Li Zheng! The official who fights food is also an official, and he can also receive the salary paid by the court every month, and Li Zheng has no salary to receive!"
Sankui couldn't help but lit up when he heard this, and then he asked with excitement: "Brother Ran, so I am older than that old guy Zhang Li? Is he going to salute me when he sees me?"
"Uh..." Zhang Ran touched his chin and thought for a while, and then replied with uncertainty: "I don't know this either, but our Shaofu is an internal official and an external official like an internal official is not in the same system. I think if it is normal for him to do business, Zhang Li should not be necessary to salute you, right?"
"Ah? That's a pity..."
"Brother Ran, did you meet the emperor just now?"
"Of course I saw it..."
"Then can you tell me what the emperor looks like?"
"This cannot be said. It is a serious crime to talk about the emperor behind his back!"
"Ah? Then tell me what happened to the palace? I heard that the Weiyang Palace is magnificent and magnificent, and it is the largest and most beautiful palace today..."
“…”
When Zhang Ran and Sankui were talking and laughing all the way back to the carriage, Zhang Ran was surprised to find that there was actually a carriage behind their carriage...
The person sitting in the car was not someone else, but Dong Zhongshu, who left the palace first.
Seeing Dong Zhongshu looking at him with a smile, Zhang Ran hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him, "I have met Mr. Dong!"
"You don't have to be polite!" Dong Zhongshu waved his hand, then glanced at the bamboo basket in Sankui's arms and smiled: "It seems that Xiaolang's affairs have been done. I'm so shameless and asked Xiaolang to come over to the mansion to talk, how about it?"
Zhang Ran replied: "I really want to ask for it, I dare not ask for it! I have many questions here and I want to ask Mr. Dong!"
