1162 It doesn't matter
Song Yingxing finally lost a smile on his face. He was not stupid. He could see his dissatisfaction with himself, whether from his elder brother and sister-in-law's words or his expression. The meaning inside and outside of this seemed to have to leave himself at home.
According to the eldest brother and sister-in-law, it seems that for the Song family and the glorious ancestors, those with high positions go out and those with low positions are just guarding their homes. If you want to say this, you are already a fifth-rank Tech Qing Lishu Department, who is in charge of the department and is in charge of the affairs of the Ming Dynasty. The county magistrate obviously cannot compare with him. It is not good to do what the eldest brother and sister-in-law say so?
Thinking of this, he looked at his elder brother and said sincerely: "Brother, isn't this good?"
Before Song Yingsheng could speak, his wife hurriedly said, "What's wrong with it? Very good, that's it, that's it!"
After saying that, she even turned around and looked at the Song family's old mother in the main seat and said, "Mother-in-law, you are old, so it's important to leave a son by your side to talk, right?"
When Song Shigui saw his father like that, he knew that his father was afraid that he did not understand the purpose of the eldest son saying this, so he couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Dad, uncle and aunt don't want to run away for you!"
Behind Song Yingxing, his book boy was also very excited, but after hearing the conversation in the lobby, he couldn't help but be surprised, and then felt very funny. After hearing the young master's words, he could no longer help and immediately said loudly: "The master doesn't need them to run away! Master..."
After hearing this conversation, a person with a ghost in his heart immediately thought that the book boy wanted to have ambition. Since the eldest house was unwilling to run for the second house, then don't do it. In this way, the eldest house immediately seemed to be in the wrong place.
Therefore, Song Yingsheng immediately shouted loudly: "Is there a place where you can interrupt? Get out!"
Shutong's words were interrupted and he couldn't help but be stunned. He thought to himself, I kindly wanted to announce the good news to you, but I didn't tell you.
"Didn't you hear my father's words? Why don't you get out?" Chang's Changsun also shouted sternly.
Seeing this situation, the old mother of the Song family couldn't help but sigh in her heart and said, "Okay, come in and talk well, brothers, what else can't be said well."
Hearing her talk, Song Yingxing reluctantly closed the book in his hand and handed it to the book boy, saying, "Put it all in the study room, I'll clean it myself later. You can go back and clean it up first!"
After hearing this, Shutong carefully took the book handed over by Song Yingxing, turned to look at the other side of the Changfang, with a very strange expression on his face, and walked back and forth. He seemed to be a little nostalgic about this side, and wanted to look at the expression on the Changfang again.
Seeing them like this, Song Yingsheng couldn't help but snorted from his nostrils. It's time to do so, and he's still obsessed with miscellaneous studies. It's really hopeless!
Seeing that the two brothers were standing in front of him, the old mother of the Song family sighed and said, "Brothers are united, and they are able to cut off gold, you two cannot forget it!"
Song Yingsheng and Song Yingxing looked at each other and then respectfully claimed that they were.
The old mother of the Song family looked at Song Yingxing again and said, "You are a juren after all! Your elder brother and sister-in-law are right. Don't always spend time on those miscellaneous studies. That's not a good thing. You are serious about finding an official background!"
When Song Yingxing heard this, he quickly reported: "Mother, I really thanks to miscellaneous studies to get this..."
"Second brother, don't listen to my mother's words? He is still thinking about talking back?" Song Yingsheng immediately turned around and said, "Brother, I'll give you a piece of advice. Don't spend time on miscellaneous studies in the future! In this way, you'll make a decision in front of your mother."
When he said this, he looked at his mother, and then said, "To calm you down and to show your determination, all the things about miscellaneous studies have been burned. In this way, I will go to my official friends to help you see if there are any vacancy. That's great?"
After hearing this, the old mother of the Song family nodded.
When Song Yingsheng's wife heard this, she was very unwilling to give up and eventually she had to spend favors on her second uncle. However, she also knew that her mother-in-law was still there, and it was impossible for her husband to agree to ignore her second uncle. However, when she heard her husband's words, she remembered what she saw just now, and suddenly felt a sudden change in her heart and immediately interrupted and said, "Second uncle, your elder brother is right. You burn all the things related to the miscellaneous studies, so that your elder brother can find connections for you!"
When Mrs. Song Yingxing heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief. It was thanks to her mother-in-law, and the eldest wife finally let go. However, she knew her husband and looked over with great concern. She was afraid that her husband would not agree to burn off the miscellaneous things!
Sure enough, when Song Yingxing heard this, he shook his head without hesitation and said, "No, those things must not be burned. I don't have to worry about my official position..."
As soon as he said this, the wife of Song Yingsheng seemed to have discovered something extraordinary and immediately said loudly: "Look, look, it's the second uncle who refused to burn it, and he also said that my master didn't have to worry about it. This can't be blamed on my master!"
Song Yingsheng first looked at his mother, then turned around and scolded: "Second brother, don't be obsessed! If you insist on doing this, then stay at home to serve your mother! The eldest brother will take responsibility for the Song family's glory and ancestors!"
Song Shigui looked at all this, and saw the proud smile on the aunt's face and the proud smile on the eldest son's face, and the grandson's face, he couldn't help but feel very indignant. After all, he just didn't want to find a way for his father. He always used his father's miscellaneous teachings and used his seventh-rank magistrate to suppress others. One day, he would not pass the Jinshi and come back to see the big house!
Song Yingxing suddenly sighed, and did not look at his elder brother, but turned to look at his mother and said, "Mom, the child said, don't worry about the elder brother, it's because the child has already obtained an official position..."
"Oh, hehe, second uncle, what official position have you obtained? Let's hear it?" When the wife of Song Yingsheng heard it, she couldn't help but interrupt him with a little exaggerated expression and asked, "Is it the chief clerk or the county magistrate, or the county school teacher? It's impossible to be a Shaoxing sect master, right?"
At the beginning, Song Yingsheng was slightly stunned, but after hearing his wife say it, a smile appeared on his face. But when he saw his mother looking over, he hurriedly hid.
The old mother of the Song family sighed. She realized that her youngest son was determined to learn the miscellaneous studies and was not very dedicated to official positions. She was a juren master who casually fooled him into doing things.
But she was concerned about her youngest son's official position after all, so she spoke to Song Yingxing: "Son, if the officialdom starts too low, it will be very difficult in the future. Do you understand?"
Mrs. Song Yingxing next to her was happy when she heard this, but when she heard her sister-in-law say it, she came to her senses and felt that the official positions she received by her husband must be unable to escape these, and it is impossible for her to be higher than the eldest brother's official position!
Thinking of this, my expression was a little sad. I was the third place in Jiangxi Province, and I could only be a mistress from the ninth rank.
Song Yingxing ignored the others, looked at his mother, and said with a smile: "Mom, it's okay to start, it should be no less..."
But as soon as he said this, he was interrupted by Song Yingsheng's wife, and then she continued to exaggerately say: "Oh, you have a good start. Are you from the ninth rank or the eighth rank? I don't know what official he is? It's impossible that he is even older than my master, right?"
Hearing this, Song Yingxing finally showed displeasure on his face. He took a deep breath, turned his head to look over, and shouted loudly: "Sister-in-law, don't you just be afraid that I will implicate my brother? Don't worry, I won't implicate my brother! Please respect the key point, I'm talking to my mother!"
Generally speaking, those who like to do technology are honest people. Song Yingxing likes miscellaneous studies, but in the eyes of others, he is actually honest people. But when an honest person suddenly gets angry, it is also shocking. When he yells like this, he immediately scares Song Yingsheng's wife and doesn't speak for a while.
Seeing this, Song Yingxing turned around and looked at his mother and said, "Mom, the child has already obtained an official position. He is a doctor in the Science and Technology Qing Office. He is a fifth-rank official and will go to Beijing to take office soon!"
"What?" Song Yingsheng's face changed when he heard this and asked in a dismayed voice.
"What?" Song Yingsheng's wife was also surprised, "A fifth-rank official position?"
The others were almost the same as them and were all shocked. But what was a little different from them was that the second house was naturally more happy than shocked, including the old mother of the Song family.
However, before they could speak, they heard Song Yingsheng shouting firmly: "Second brother, are you crazy about being an official? When did the imperial court have the Science and Technology Qingguan Department?"
When he heard this, his wife was obviously relieved, and a hint of sneer appeared on her face, looking for an opportunity to wait for a speech.
When the Song family’s mother and Song Yingxing’s wife and son couldn’t help but show a worried expression when they heard this. Could it be that Song Yingxing really wants to be an official and is crazy?
In their opinion, Song Yingsheng was a man in the officialdom, so it was impossible for him to know who there were any officials.
Song Yingxing ignored his brother and immediately took out a piece of stuff from his arms and covered it with cloth.
He carefully placed it on the table beside his mother, and then untied the covered cloth layer by layer.
When the people around him saw it, they were a little curious and looked at what was wrapped in it.
After the final unveiling, Song Yingxing held his mother in both hands and said, "Mom, this is the will of appointing the child as the doctor of the fifth-rank Science and Technology Qingguan Department, which was written by the current emperor himself."
Most people cannot see the imperial edict. Even Song Yingsheng only received the documents from the Ministry of Personnel, not the emperor's imperial edict. But this does not mean that they do not know the imperial edict. Just after seeing it, the feeling in their hearts is true. Otherwise, who would think that their fate is too great and that their family is too prosperous, and they would go crazy to forge imperial edicts!
The face of the old mother of the Song family was full of excitement, and her hands were stretched out, and she was slightly shaking. Finally, with the help of Song Yingxing, she unfolded the imperial edict and started to look.
Others were not qualified to see it, but they all stretched their necks one by one and thought about looking at the legendary imperial edict. What was it like?
The old mother of the Song family actually couldn't see anything, but she was already full of joy when she just looked at it. She was a fifth-rank official position! This was a fifth-rank official, and it was still a fifth-rank official placed under the Ministry of Works, rather than a fifth-rank prefect who was everywhere on the street.
Song Yingsheng was anxious. To be honest, he felt it seemed impossible. How could the second brother have such good luck? He was just a mere juren, and could he be a fifth-rank official directly? Or was it an imperial edict issued by the emperor himself?
Therefore, after his mother looked at it, he immediately leaned over, feeling unsafe, so he took it from his mother, almost covering his face, and stared at the imperial edict word by word.
No matter how he looked at it, he had to admit in the end that Song Yingxing had really become a fifth-rank technician Qingli Department. But he was a little confused and asked Song Yingxing with surprise: "Second brother, what is this science and technology Qingli Department for? Why did the emperor let you take charge of the first department?"
They are all juren, why did they have been promoted to the office for many years? In the end, they only got a seventh-rank county magistrate and had to work hard to get a seniority. However, the second brother was able to get a fifth-rank official position quietly, and was still in the court.
When Song Yingxing heard this, he smiled and replied: "The Qingli Department of Science and Technology is the management of Daming Technology, which is the miscellaneous learnings that the elder brother and sister-in-law mentioned, and these things are not sophisticated. However, the emperor and you have a different view. Outside the Qilin Gate of Yingtian Mansion, the emperor's apprentice Xu Zhengming demonstrated a hot air balloon carrying people to fly to the sky before millions of people. Among them, the emperor's imperial pen was hung in the air, and everyone in Yingtian Mansion could see it."
Speaking of this, he stopped and said word by word in a firm and powerful tone: "Technology is strong, and technology changes the world!"
Listening to his words, everyone here was shocked and could not come back to their senses for a long time. Because their cognition, or their original worldview, was suddenly broken.
Miscellaneous studies are so important? Is this still what the emperor said, "A country of science and technology is strong, and technology changes the world?" For this reason, a new science and technology clearance department has been established? This... is it still the miscellaneous studies in my impression, not a good knowledge?
Before they could come back to their senses, Song Yingxing continued: "After a few years and more scientific and technological achievements, the Science and Technology Qingli Department will be promoted to the Ministry of Science and Technology, and will be ranked alongside the existing six departments, and there will be seven departments in the future!"
This means that Song Yingxing is likely to be the second-rank Shangshu in the next few years! This is the highest civil servant in the Ming Dynasty except for the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet!
On the other hand, the importance of the so-called miscellaneous studies has been emphasized again. This once again shocked the people present!
After a long time, everyone came to their senses. Song Yingsheng looked at his second brother with a complicated expression. He wanted to speak but found that he couldn't say anything! He felt a scorching look on his face.
Just now, I was content with my seventh-rank official position, but what is this seventh-rank official position in front of my second brother?
The old mother of the Song family said happily and stuttered a little: "My son, when... when will he go to Beijing? You can't delay it!"
"Mom, I will sort out the collected miscellaneous studies and then take them to the capital." Song Yingxing replied, "But this time, not only did I go far, but I don't know when I will come back. This is different from before..."
Hearing this, Song Shigui interrupted and said loudly: "Dad, it's okay. My uncle said just now that I'm at home with a low position and taking care of my grandmother, it's okay!"
