MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 407 mutual market supervisor

 Master Ding is actually back.

Qin Yao didn’t receive any news at all and was very surprised.

 But what’s even more surprising is that Mr. Ding, Ding Shi, and Ding Xiang, father and son, all came to Xiahe Village.

When Qin Yao walked to the door of her house, someone from the Ding family had just parked their carriage. Liu Jigang politely helped Mr. Ding down from the carriage, and Ding Shi and Ding Xiang had just dismounted.

And the second young master of the Ding family in Shunzi's mouth is actually Ding Xiang dressed in men's clothing.

She was restrained by rules and etiquette, and actually rode all the way to Liujia Village.

Liu Ji was secretly surprised when he recognized the person.

At the same time, I was wondering in my mind what the identity of Ding Yuanwai was when he suddenly came back this time.

 Is he a Ding Juren, a Ding Jinshi, or an official?

 Mr. Ding, who came back from the capital, seems to have changed a lot.

He no longer preached to his daughter to stay at home, and allowed her to come on horseback today to "show her face". It really makes people curious about what he went through in the capital.

 “Qin Yao!”

Everyone came in, but Ding Xiang stayed at the gate waiting.

As soon as Qin Yao appeared, she immediately ran forward to greet him with a bright smile.

 Everyone in the courtyard heard her call, stopped and looked back.

Qin Yao greeted him with a smile, and Ding Xiang couldn't wait to share: "I came on horseback today!"

He raised his hand and pointed to the backyard, "It's the one we rode together at the beginning."

Qin Yao smiled, no wonder the sound of horse hooves sounded familiar just now.

"When did Mr. Ding come back?" Qin Yao walked into the courtyard and asked with a loud smile.

Ding Shi nodded to her first, then pulled Ding Xiang, who was following Qin Yao, to his side, his eyes reminding her not to be too happy.

Mr. Ding laughed and looked very proud. He followed Qin Yao and his wife into the main room and said, "I came back years ago. I have been busy with my relatives and haven't had time to open the door to receive guests."

"After the new year, the brother and sister are eager to come to your place to meet the great scholar. They just came here to bother you. I hope you won't dislike it."

Liu Ji sighed regretfully: "Unfortunately, my husband and senior brother returned to Fucheng, and I didn't have time to pick them up. I'm afraid I will disappoint Master Ding and Miss Ding today."

 Ding Shi did have a bit of disappointment in his eyes, but Ding Xiang didn't necessarily see it. She came here for Qin Yao.

But since her father is here, it’s not her turn to speak yet.

As expected, Mr. Ding immediately smiled and said, "No problem, no problem. It's a blessing for both his brother and sister to be able to meet the great Confucian disciples."

Liu Ji hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare." The corners of his mouth almost reached the base of his ears.

 The purpose of the Ding family has been made clear. Meeting the great Confucian scholar is just a pretense, but coming to see the great Confucian disciple and Qin Yao is the real purpose.

Ding Shi was really envious when he saw Liu Ji's happy look.

At that time, they met the great Confucian at the same time, and the opportunities were equally presented in front of them. Who would have thought that Liu Ji would seize this great opportunity with his thick skin.

 Afterwards, he wrote a letter to inform his father of this regret, and his father also felt very sorry.

But fortunately, their family still has some connections with Mrs. Qin. If you want to meet the great Confucian, it should be easier than the scholars who gather in the "Craftsman Tea House" at the entrance of Liujia Village.

Awang settled the servants of the Ding family and came in with hot tea.

"Master Ding, don't dislike the humble house." Qin Yao asked everyone to sit down.

 There are only two Taishi chairs in the house, and the rest are common wooden benches and bamboo chairs in farmers' houses.

Mr. Ding is a guest, so he naturally wants to sit on the table.

There was only one seat left. Liu Ji glanced at Qin Yao first, saw her nodding, and then sat down on the remaining Taishi chair. Ding Shi followed Mr. Ding and sat on the wooden stool under him.

 Qin Yao and Ding Xiang, sitting next to them.

Master Ding looked at her specifically and wanted her to sit over, but Liu Ji stopped him.

“Mr. Ding, I see you are so happy. Is there any good news that you haven’t told yet?” Liu Ji asked tentatively.

 Speaking of this, before Mr. Ding revealed it, Ding Xiang had already told Qin Yao that her father had passed the Jinshi examination and was about to take his brother and sister to the capital to take office.

 The official position obtained by Mr. Ding is called the Supervisor of Hushi.

Seeing Qin Yao's confused look, Liu Ji, who had already been forcibly instilled in Shengguo's official system by Gong Liangxiao, immediately turned over and whispered in her ear to explain,

  "The Hu Shi Jian Cheng is under the sixth rank Hu Shi Jian. He is a subordinate of the eighth rank. He is in charge of foreign trade. He is a minor official among minor officials."

"But the teacher said that this job is rich in oil and water, and it is a fat job."

"If no one promotes a Jinshi from a remote and poor family like the Ding family, I'm afraid they will have to stay as a student in Taixue University and wait until they pass the release test before they can be promoted to an official. If they don't pass the test, they will have to wait another three years. Do the brown release test again.”

 In the prosperous country's imperial examination system, those who passed the Jinshi examination only obtained the qualifications to serve as officials.

Among them, the top three first-class Jinshi, also known as the first number one scholar and the second best scholar, can directly enter the Hanlin Academy as officials.

 The number one scholar is awarded an official position of sixth rank, and the second rank is awarded a lower rank of sixth rank or a higher rank of seventh rank, depending on the situation.

The remaining Yijia Jinshi can hold official positions such as county magistrates and county magistrates in various places.

  Those who are ranked second grade or below will enter Taixue University and become an official reserve. They must pass the release examination before being appointed to an official position.

 With good luck, if you successfully pass the examination, you can be promoted to a minor official of the seventh or eighth rank in the capital.

Or maybe there is someone on top, the family is powerful, and it is not difficult to find a way to become a county magistrate in another place.

If you are unlucky, fail the exam, and haven't been promoted by a noble person, then just stay in Taixue University.

Liu Ji said that Qi Xianguan once told him about an unlucky guy. He entered the Taixue Academy in the 35th grade, and was already regarded as a dragon or phoenix among ordinary people. He tried six times, but he survived to the 67th grade in the Taixue Academy. I can't wait for an official.

 Finally, when he was seventy years old, his bedmate couldn't stand it anymore and asked him to write a poem to King Feng.

Seventy years of experience are perfectly displayed in this poem. It has 1,251 words in total, all of which are gorgeous words of praise. He succeeded in getting the appreciation of King Feng and came out of Taixue Academy.

 On the way to Keren, it was cold and rainy, so he caught wind and cold and died.

 When Liu Ji heard this, he immediately realized that the younger brother was trying to point him out.

In this world, the only way out for students who are not even from a humble family is to write gorgeous poems, and then find the right candidate at the right time and brag about how awesome he/she is!

 Have you never seen him get a study room with his song "Beauty Yao"?

 Facts have proved that this is a bright road!

It's a pity that the unlucky guy realized it too late and spent decades in vain. Liu Ji gloated and thought proudly in his heart.

Qin Yao didn't know what Qi Xianguan's expression was when he heard Liu Ji's opinion.

But at this moment, her temples were bulging, and she just wanted to dig out this man's brain and see what kind of **** was inside!

Qi Xianguan's serious tragic story, Liu Ji could actually distort it to this extent.

Liu Jichong, who was unaware of this, blinked at Qin Yao, turned his head, and looked at Mr. Ding with a "fellow-minded" eagerness, "Congratulations to Mr. Ding, congratulations to Mr. Ding!"

"Ah no!" Liu Ji lightly slapped his mouth and said pretentiously: "I should call you Lord Ding now! I hope you will give me more support in the future!"

Mr. Ding was startled at first, then laughed and hurriedly replied:

"Where is it? I'm just a little official. If the Yue family hadn't taken a liking to me as my son-in-law, I would still be at Taixue University."

"But Xianggong Liu, you are different. You are surrounded by nobles and a disciple of Confucianism. I don't know how many adults in the court are waiting to recommend you. I hope you can give me more advice."

Ding Shi and Ding Xiang, who had never seen his father so flattering, opened his eyes in shock. You turn out to be such a father!

Qin Yao frowned. Master Ding's words, "If the Yue family hadn't taken a liking to me as my son-in-law," the amount of information seemed a bit large.
