Xu Xin thought in his heart that this answer was not deceiving him...

"That's right, it's also a promising job, so I can rest assured that I'm a brother."

Then Xu Nian took out a money bag from his book basket and handed it to Xu Xin: "It contains the remaining silver taels for my brother this time. If you want to come and go to the post, you may not need it anymore, why don't you just give it to you."

Xu Xin took it respectfully, and felt that there were as many as two or three hundred taels.

Seeing this, the book boy on the side asked in a low voice: "Young master, didn't you save those calligraphy and paintings? Why did you give it to the second young master?"

"Shut up! Look at the situation of the new brother, I can help a little."

With Xu Xin's hearing ability, he could still hear their conversation, and he immediately had a better impression of his cousin.

"Thank you, cousin. By the way, where are you going to take up the post?" Xu Xin asked after collecting the money.

"Actually, I haven't figured it out yet. Although it's called Chuanlu, it's actually only the top three. I need to see where there are vacancies before I have the opportunity to fill the position." Xu Nian said cautiously.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Nian got up and said goodbye.

"Xin brother, I may stay in the official department for the next few days. If you have something to do, you can find me there." Xu Nian thought for a while: "By the way, new brother, before I leave Beijing, I will get together with my classmates , I may need your help at that time."

"Of course it's okay, brother just needs help to speak up."

Li Si watched Xu Xin and Xu Nian say goodbye quietly.

"Your cousin is quite interesting. You actually want Mr. Xu from our imperial city guard to help him, and you really agreed to him." Li Si laughed loudly: "What if someone recognizes you by then?" How embarrassing it must be to live Hades, haha!"

"But having said that, your cousin is also a good person. He is knowledgeable and reasonable. He is affectionate and righteous. He will definitely be a good official in the future." Li Si said as he looked at Xu Nian who was drifting away.

"Let's go, we should go back too, your sister-in-law should be cooking."

"Okay! Thinking about it, it's been a long time since I ate the dishes cooked by my sister-in-law!"

"go!"

In front of Li Si's door.

Li Si's wife knew that Xu Xin was going to go tonight, so she ordered her servants to hang up red lanterns to welcome him.

"Good guy, Brother Li, where did you find the house?" Xu Xin praised.

Three in and three out, although not as good as my own Xu Mansion, but being able to have such a courtyard in the capital is not something that can be bought with money.

"Hey, it's still thanks to the money you lent me, brother, and the original owner knew about our relationship. After he was transferred to another place, he gave up the house to me." Li Si smiled innocently.

"Go in!" Li Si led the way: "My lady, look who is here!"

After entering the door, I saw a few maids and servants busily decorating the courtyard, looking beaming.

Upon hearing Li Si's shout, his wife, father-in-law and mother-in-law all came out to greet him.

At this time, Li Si's father-in-law had already changed into gorgeous silk and satin clothes. When he saw Xu Xin, he hurriedly saluted: "I thank Mr. Xu for helping us get back the salary last time! Come, come, follow us into the back room!" "

"Don't mind Uncle Zhao, I'm so used to your old visit, you forgot, I used to come here often to trouble your old man!"

Li Si's wife also said: "Of course I remember, we still remember that you like to eat dumplings the most! I will let you eat enough later! Then I didn't come, I thought you forgot my sister-in-law!"

Looking at the extravagantly dressed sister-in-law in front of him, Xu Xin replied embarrassedly: "Then I will come here often for dinner in the future!"

Then he pretended to take out some extremely green jadeite jewelry from his bosom, and handed them to her respectfully: "Thanks to sister-in-law for taking care of the past, sister-in-law must accept these jewelry."

After a few back and forth, Li Si's wife couldn't refuse, so she had to happily accept it.

"Let's go in and have a meal and talk, otherwise the food will be cold." Li Si couldn't help but said, he dragged Xu Xin into the back room, drinking wine, Li Si's father-in-law soon passed out, and Li Si's wife and mother supported him together The old man went back to his room to rest.

"Brother Li, it seems that after you become a thousand householders, your sister-in-law's life is really more nourishing!"

"Oh, don't talk about it, I just had a quarrel the day before yesterday." Li Si poured a glass of wine and finished it in one gulp.

Xu Xin saw that he seemed to have something to hide, so he poured him a glass: "If you have anything to say, let me know and let me give you an idea."

"It's not that I want to take a concubine! You also know that I have been married to your sister-in-law for a long time, but I have never had a child of my own, so I just want to..." Li Si was depressed again.

"Brother, you can teach me, how do you resolve disputes among so many beauties in your mansion, and how do you get them to agree to you taking people home again and again?" Li Si looked admiringly. With Xu Xin.

Xu Xin didn't know how to answer, so he quickly poured wine: "Maybe it's because I'm more handsome..."

Chapter 129 Find a Good Job in the Xu Mansion.

"Understood, you go back! I will tell the miss." A'Zhu stood at the gate of Xu's residence, and sent off the servants sent by Li Si to inform.

At this time, Guo Xiang happened to bring someone back.

"Ah Zhu, is brother Xu back?"

A'Zhu looked at the plainly dressed young man behind Guo Xiang, and replied: "Master Xu probably won't be going home tonight, he's going to Mrs. Li's house for dinner."

"Okay, I still want to surprise him, so I'll go and arrange a place for my nephew first." Guo Xiang said disappointedly.

"Do you need my help?" A'Zhu asked enthusiastically.

"No need, you should think about how to comfort Sister Yuyan." Guo Xiang said with a smile, and led the young man into Xu's residence.

Upon hearing that, Ah Zhu said, "That's right! Miss! Miss! Mr. Xu won't be coming back tonight!"

That night, Wang Yuyan felt sullen, while Mr. Daoyan had another full meal.

……

After the court was over the next day, Xu Xin passed by the Ministry of Officials, thinking of the silver tael that his cousin gave him yesterday, and then walked over to see if he could help him.

The Ministry of Officials is one of the most important departments of the imperial court, which is in charge of the assessment of almost all officials and the appointment and removal of personnel.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials of the Consul was even called the Heavenly Official by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

As long as they are in the imperial court, no one is respectful to them.

Even members of the cabinet are no exception.

After all, who doesn't have relatives and friends, and who doesn't want to gain fame and become the head of one party.

At this time, the official department was crowded with people who wanted to visit. There were not only Xinke Jinshi, but also many relatives of Jinshi.

When they saw Xu Xin coming, they all quickly got out of the way. Even if they didn't know Commander Xu, they all recognized the python suit he was wearing.

The little official from the Ministry of Officials saw Xu Xin, and ran in without looking back, and came to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

"Master Li!"

"See how flustered you are! Didn't I tell you that early in the morning? Even if the Empress Dowager came back, I wouldn't see you! Just say that I'm going to meet the saint!" The Minister of the Ministry of Officials looked at the list on the table without looking up.

Since the list came out, the threshold of Li's residence was almost smashed.

The dignitaries in the capital knew that after he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the greeting cards never stopped, and the table was already full.

Needless to say, they all wanted him to find a good way out for his disciples in the name of visiting.

Thinking of this, Li Xin, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, became very angry. With more than 200 top three grades, there were so many people who came to ask to be arranged to enter the sixth department, and he really didn't know what they were thinking.

If you want to find a good job, you guys should do better in the exam. Even if you can't get a first-class job, at least you have to be able to get into the second-class...

It's a pity that everyone still has illusions, and they never tire of coming to the door to plead for mercy and confess their relationship...

The most difficult thing to deal with was that the people who came to the gate were all famous figures in the capital. If they were not handled well, they would be troublesome, so Li Xin, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, simply moved to live in the Yamen.

"My lord! That..." The little official was speechless.

"Didn't I tell you, go out and say I'm not here!" Li Xin, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was already very impatient.

"But my lord..." The official thought for a while, but decided to finish his sentence.

"you……"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was about to have an attack when he heard a nightmare-like voice.

"Master Li, being impatient is not good for your health." Xu Xin walked in.

Hearing the sound, Li Xin's scalp was already numb. Looking back, he saw dark purple clothes, embroidered with a four-clawed golden python, and a scarlet saber around his waist. He really came...

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials shook his body, stood up in panic, and hurriedly saluted: "It turns out that Commander Xu is here, why don't you hurry up and prepare tea!" Li Xin glared at the little official beside him.

After finishing speaking, he hurried forward, greeted Xu Xin, and sat in his seat.

Xu Xin was also polite, and sat down as if it was a matter of course, and casually flipped through the top three list, his interest made Li Bu Shangshu Li's confidence even more uncertain.

It stands to reason that I have never dared to provoke the "Living Hades", besides, I have a good relationship with Xu Youzhen, so what is he going to do here?Could it be that I want to intercede, then should I give it or not... Li Xin fell into deep thought.

"Master Li?"

"Master Li!"

"Ah? Commander Xu, what's the matter?" Li Xin, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, laughed awkwardly.

"The transfer list of the new Jinshi, have you discussed the results yet?"

Xu Xin looked at Li Xin with a smile.

"Of course it's finished, and I'm about to notify them now!" Li Xin, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, quietly observed Xu Xin's expression.

Then he paused for a while, and continued: "But there are a few, which may need to be discussed..."

Xu Xin didn't answer, and continued to search the roster, and suddenly saw a familiar name.

Xu Nian, 33 years old, was born in Xu County, Jieshi County, and planned to be a teacher in Jinshi County, Guiyang County.

Li Xin, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, squinted his eyes at the page where Xu Xin stayed, and asked pretendingly, "Commander Xu, could it be that you know this person?"

Xu Xin also saw his appearance, so he laid it flat on the table and pointed to Xu Nian's name.

"I didn't expect my commander's cousin to be a top three biologist, hahaha, according to the ranking, at least he can be ranked in the top [-] in this exam."

After hearing this, Li Xin, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, became flustered.

"My lord, you are joking. There are three people in the first class and 170 in the second class. Your cousin is the third class, so he is naturally ranked 180th."

After Xu Xin listened, he directly pushed the list over: "180 people, how could they be assigned to Jinshi County, Guiyang County as a trainer?"

Before the Minister of the Ministry of Officials had time to explain, Xu Xin looked at him, and said slowly: "Even if the top three are passed on, at least they can be qualified to serve as the magistrate of a large county accompanying the capital, right?"

"My lord is right. It must be some careless little official who copied the wrong name when transcribing. My lord's cousin is very talented, and the position of teaching is really overkill. I can see from my humble position that even if you enter the sixth department to be the head of the department, you can't do it. It’s not impossible.” The back of Li Xin, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was already wet.

When Xu Xin heard this, he laughed loudly: "My lord is joking, if my cousin can be a county magistrate, I think he should be satisfied."

After speaking, Xu Xin stamped the list, and put it neatly in the center of the table: "Master Li must be busy with business, so I won't bother you."

Yan Bi got up and walked out of the room.

Xu Xin's words and deeds made the Minister of the Ministry of Officials feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, so he quickly caught up and sent him to the door respectfully.

He didn't take out his handkerchief until he couldn't see Xu Xin's figure, wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and neck, let out a long breath, and walked back to the yamen step by step.

The crowd who were still waiting also started talking.

"Sure enough, people wearing boa robes have a lot of face, and even the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has to see him off in person."

"Blind your dog eyes, don't you know that he is Commander Xu and Master Xu? He was the one who saved our lives last time!"

"You don't know yet, Mr. Xu is in Yuanshen Realm now, not to mention Mr. Shangshu, even the cabinet and the god of iron courage of Hulong Villa, you should be polite when you meet him."

"When will I be like Lord Xu!"

"When? Next life!"

Chapter 130 Please command the envoy to greet the guests?

"Go and call everyone over here!" The Minister of the Ministry of Officials shouted angrily at the little official.

Not long after, the heads of the left and right assistants, doctors, chiefs, and other departments and departments all came to Li Xin's room.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to speak out, waiting for Li Xin, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, to speak.

"Sun Langzhong! Do you know who came just now? How much money did you charge to make such an arrangement! Sanjia Chuanlu, you actually have the guts to send him to the provincial corner of the province! Do you want to die!"

Sun Langzhong lowered his head and dared not speak, he could only squint at the servant next to him, and kept asking for help with his eyes.

"I know what you're thinking! Once you've collected the money, you'll give away the good positions, and the rest of the unwanted ones will be thrown to those who can't honor you! But this time you've gone too far! The No. .1 You actually arranged to go to Guiyang County! Do you know who he is!"

"Hey, Lord Shangshu, don't be angry!" Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials hurriedly comforted him: "Actually, it's not entirely Sun Langzhong's fault!"

Sun Langzhong saw someone pleading for him, so he quickly echoed: "Master Shangshu, please calm down. At first I really didn't know who Xu Hou was, and you said he was true. At the beginning, he directly told us that he was Xu. Isn’t the Commander’s brother just going to have it…”

Others who accepted bribes to arrange positions also echoed: "Yes, if we say something, we will definitely arrange the best position for him!"

After listening to his subordinates, Li Xin, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, held his forehead helplessly.
