golden scales

A four-wheeled carriage ran over the stone bricks at the gate of Liaocheng City and went straight to the city.

The official plate of "Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty" is hung on the carriage carriage, showing its status as a bus, and all the officials and people along the way back away.

As the prefecture of Dongchang Mansion, there were six buses going to and fro, but this bus didn't go to the mansion, but turned a corner after entering the city, and didn't stop until the gate of Hui'an Square.

An old woman was standing at the entrance of the workshop. Seeing the bus approaching, she almost avoided it in fright, but suddenly saw a familiar face pressed against the window of the carriage, and hurried to go up to it.

The car door opened with a creak, and a woman in light yellow clothes jumped out of the car. The woman first smiled at the old woman, then turned around briskly, and said to the companions in the car: "I'll go back first." Go home, go to the government office to find you after lunch."

Yingying Yanyan's laughter came from the carriage, all of them told her to go and come back quickly.

The girl in yellow walked up to the royal seat, and said with a sweet smile, "Thank you Uncle Chen."

"Miss Huang, you are being polite, but do you want the little old man to pick you up later?" Uncle Chen grinned.

"Don't dare," Miss Huang said with a chuckle, "This is already taking advantage of the public."

"What is this? It's worth two handfuls of grass." Uncle Chen said with a disapproving smile, "If that's the case, then the little old man will go to the government office to sign in first."

"Uncle Chen, let's go." Miss Huang turned to one side, watched the carriage turn around in front, then turned around and took the old woman's hand, and said happily: "I really didn't expect to see Zhao Mama again, you How long have you been waiting here?"

The old woman wept with joy, the tears flowed out immediately, she raised her hand to wipe her sleeves, and said: "Not long, my sister is now an official. Come in soon, master and grandma have been looking forward to it for two days. Why don't you have a burden?"

Miss Huang said with a smile: "The burden was unpacked by the government office, and I will pick it up in the afternoon. How are the parents? How is the family?"

"Everything is fine." Mother Zhao led Ms. Huang to the workshop, and said, "Grandma came to see me in person that day. She said she would let me come back. Everyone is fine. But I don’t know why. Now the government doesn’t allow me to sign the deed, I can only sign the contract... Anyway, I finally went home. Even if I don’t see the rabbits and the others, I don’t know where they were sold. Is it still alive? Miss, just ahead, the jujube tree with crooked neck protruding from the yard is our new home."

Ms. Huang is a little timid.

Originally thought that he would be able to go home every holiday, but he was promoted and transferred to the mansion not long after.Another two months passed.He was actually directly transferred to the Department of Culture, Education and Cleaning Officials under the Ministry of Rites.Since then, I haven't been home to see my mother again, and it has been four months.

The changes in the past four months are truly earth-shaking, not only because of his father's crimes.He was promoted to the magistrate of Dongchang, and his family moved to Liaocheng.My mother also brought back the old family members from the previous family. Thinking about how this Zhao mother grew up with her, she has deep feelings, and it is a great joy to be able to reunite.

It's a pity for Tu'er and Guo'er who have the same love as sisters.But I don't know where I went.It is said that the domestic slaves of criminal officials were all served in the palace, but I don't know if it is true or not.If you are in the officialdom and you are a female official, you must be extra careful and don't dare to inquire.I had to hide it in my heart.

Zhao's mother stepped forward and opened the door, shouting loudly: "Master, grandma, the elder sister is back!"

Miss Huang looked at the small courtyard.In the middle is a small patio five steps long and seven steps wide. The main house is directly opposite the gate, and there are wing rooms on both sides.Skip the main house and you will find the courtyard where the kitchen and woodshed are located.Although it can't be compared with the county government where I lived, but the conditions of the criminal court are heavenly better, and watching it makes people feel warm.

"Mom!" Miss Huang exclaimed happily.

Mrs. Huang came out of the main house, walked quickly, took her daughter's hand, stared at her face, and asked in surprise, "Why are you so fat?"

"Where is fat!" Ms. Huang refused to accept: "This is strong!" She smiled and said: "Now I can eat a big bowl of dry rice for a meal. Fat meat, intestines, and bone oil are all coming. No! I still haven't gained weight just by eating like this, mother, where do you think I have fat?"

Mrs. Huang thought of her daughter's weak Liu Fufeng in the past, and looked at her heroic and capable figure now, but she couldn't tell which was better, she just pursed her lips and smiled.

"Where's Daddy?" Miss Huang held her mother's hand and was about to walk inside.

Mrs. Huang pulled her back and said in a low voice: "Let him put on airs inside, let us talk to each other. Last time you sent someone to bring a letter, saying that you have reached the eighth rank?"

Ms. Huang's eyes were crescent, and she said: "Now my daughter is inspecting the Ministry of Rites, Culture, Education and Purity, and the Secretary is the eighth-rank inspector. This year, I will inspect the six prefectures in Shandong."

"Then you can't go home?" Huang's face showed regret.

Huang Desu finally couldn't sit still in the room anymore, and walked out by himself with a shy face, without saying hello to his daughter, but as if talking to himself: "How many people leave home when they are young. It's a public family, how can I be nostalgic for Xiaojia."

Only then did Ms. Huang come forward and said to her father, "My filial daughter pays respects to my lord, my lord, best wishes."

Huang Desu hummed, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and said without revealing any face, "Get up."

Only then did Miss Huang go up to support her father's arm, turned to her mother and smiled, "It's not impossible for me to come back a few more times, because I'm afraid that my father won't like to see me, and I'm afraid that the county magistrate under my father will dislike me."

"The more inspections, the more useless the local officials are. It's better for you to come less." Huang Desu half-truthfully said: "Hurry up and enter the house, your mother can't blow the wind."

Mrs. Huang has already caught up, snatched her daughter, and asked about the details of these days, as well as the customs of the outside world.She even wants to know if her daughter has encountered any prodigal son who is frivolous to her when she shows up in public all day long.

"Like female inspectors like you, can you communicate with officials when you go to the place?" After Huang Desu took charge of Dongchang Mansion, he only received the supervisory censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but he has not received female officials before, so he doesn't know how to treat him with courtesy. Waiting, just took the opportunity to ask.

"When my daughter was first selected, she was engaged in the anthology department of Jiupin, but in fact it has nothing to do with the sixth department, but belongs to the department of female officials in the East Palace." Ms. Huang said: "At that time, I didn't feel that I was inspecting village schools in the county. I look like an official. Later, after I was transferred to the Ninth Rank, I visited the counties in the mansion, and I had contacts with the magistrates of the counties. But it was all official business, and I never said a word."

"Then how to call it?" Huang Desu asked: "Official title?"

Only after a woman is married, her husband takes her name. Her boudoir name at home is also a secret.But if you call them "little lady" or "a lady of a certain family", it is too immodest, and it is really not very elegant to appear on a formal occasion.

"It's not called an official title." Miss Huang said: "Don't care about people's background, anyway, it's always good to just call 'Miss'."

"What about the older female officer?"

"Well, that's not necessarily the case. Female officials are often referred to as 'aunt'. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sometimes calls him 'Mrs. X' and sometimes 'Ms. X'."

"A certain lady? Then her husband should be above the second rank?" Huang Desu frowned slightly: "If I didn't find out clearly before, wouldn't it be rude?"

"No, no," Miss Huang said, shaking her head, "There are female officers in the attendants who are married to military attaches, and one of them is married to the famous Liu Si. I've heard the crown prince call her 'Mrs. Liu'. But Liu Si is famous, but not a big official. He is just a colonel, and his casual title is Zhongxian Xiaowei, so he can only be regarded as a sixth rank, right?"

Huang Desu shook his head and said: "You don't understand. Your Highness is now asking military officials to pacify the world, so he often gives special codes, which are different from civil officials. The crown uniforms of female officials are the same as those of civil officials? Is there any difference in the supplementary uniforms?"

"Female officials rarely wear official uniforms. My daughter usually goes to the county or village and never wears official uniforms." Ms. Huang said: "This year Zhengdan female officials have an audience with the queen. Many people don't know that they are going to wear official uniforms until they see the event. It's a pity. The daughter is not in the wheel."

Huang Desu was even more puzzled: "Then how to distinguish the rank of female officials? How to salute?"

"Don't worry about the rank and rank. The female officer's inspection must have various documents, and it will be clear at a glance." Ms. Huang suddenly pouted and said with resentment: "As for the salute, if someone doesn't salute me, I won't. He salutes!"

Mrs. Huang took her daughter's hand: "But what wronged you?"
