Chapter 534 Editing (two chapters in one)(1/2)
After returning from Zhong Lingshan, Yan Xuehuai knew what Chai Yan wanted to say but stopped several times.
She became an official!
Editor of Hanlin Academy, seventh rank.
Don’t underestimate the seventh-grade editor. Those who can sit in this position are either the second-grade or the third-grade editor, or both the second-grade editor and the third-grade editor are included.
However, Yan Xuehuai, an editor, did not need to go to the Hanlin Academy to do it. The emperor allowed her to work at home, and her main job was to translate Fanbang books.
In other words, from now on, in addition to the salary of the princess, she also has an official salary. Although the salary of the seventh-rank official is not much, this is an official salary.
Yan Xuehuai was very happy. By accident, she became a civil servant.
Yan Xuehuai didn't know at this time that this incident brought an unprecedented impact to the entire Wei officialdom.
There were female officials in the Great Wei Dynasty, but female officials were limited to the palace and served in the harem.
Yan Xuehuai's official position is completely different from that of the female officials in the court. This is an official position under the Ministry of Personnel. She can attend court in the morning and night and grand dynasty meetings.
She could even ask her mother to be a concubine.
Of course, Li Qiniang already has a title, so Yan Xuehuai doesn’t need to ask for a title for her.
The appointment was just right, and most of the censors were not in the capital. Even so, when the appointment was released, the voices of opposition from the court continued to rise and fall.
Interestingly, the prince originally thought that those who were against it would be those old men, but he did not expect that there were almost no ones. The ones who shouted the most were all young officials under the age of thirty-five.
But the prince quickly understood what was going on.
The older people are old and they can see clearly.
This seventh-rank editor's official position is for Princess Rui. So what if Princess Rui becomes an official in the Imperial College? She neither goes to the Imperial College office nor robs the second-tier Tanhua place. The fact that Princess Rui can take this position does not mean that any woman can become an official, nor do they know what those young people are anxious about.
What are those people anxious about?
Of course, I am worried that Princess Rui will open up the women across the country. If women can become officials with men in the future, then what is the point of studying hard among these scholars?
After Yan Xuehuai heard about it, she just cut it.
It seems that she has never studied hard.
Yan Xuehuai didn't care, but Chai Yan was unhappy.
When his own coriander became an official, young officials were frosted in the court, and they discussed the dangers of women becoming officials in a long and elucidated manner.
Then, Prince Rui only said two words: "Narrow."
The fewer the words, the more serious it is. Prince Rui is just two words. For an official who entered the imperial examination, this is even more embarrassing than scolding him.
The whole hall was quiet, and the emperor cleared his throat: "The sea embraces all rivers, and it is great to have tolerance. Okay, leave the court!"
All officials...
The discussion that was originally caused by Princess Rui's official career disappeared overnight.
Even if there is still a difficult situation, I can only close the door and talk in private, and I can only talk to my own people. Otherwise, I will be narrow-minded and cannot accept the crowd. Tolerance is great.
In any case, Yan Xuehuai's official position was decided.
The head of Zhou Dajia and Li Qiniang were both very happy, and Xiaoman was even happier. Now he goes to Prince Rui’s Mansion after school every day, learns the words with Yan Xuehuai for an hour, and then returns to the Duke’s Mansion with his sister and brother-in-law for dinner.
Only Xiaoman can learn the language from Yan Xuehuai, but he wants to learn a lot.
For example, Mr. Gao, who is somewhat basic, has seen Princess Rui's power and has read books translated by Princess Rui. Unfortunately, there is a difference between men and women, so he cannot ask Princess Rui in person.
When he heard that Xiaoman was studying with Princess Rui, Mr. Gao came to find Xiaoman. Xiaoman was surprised. Although Mr. Gao is now an official from Honglu Temple, he is a teacher from Lihua Academy in front of him. Although he has never taught Xiaoman, Xiaoman respectfully called him Mr. when he saw him.
Mr. Gao was lofty. He not only wanted to be a general translator, but he also wanted to one day be able to follow the mission to a foreign country, ride the wind and waves like his grandfather, and cross the ocean.
But although Xiaoman is still a child, the threshold for the Duke's Mansion is too high, so Mr. Gao is not convenient for him to come to ask for advice. Others will not think that he is studying, but will only think that he wants to take the opportunity to climb on.
So Mr. Gao could only take advantage of the noon to find Xiaoman in the academy, wanting to ask Xiaoman to teach him.
Although Yan Xuehuai is not a good patient teacher, she starts teaching from the foundation and proceeds step by step. Although Xiaoman does not have the talent of Yan Xuehuai in language, he is smart and hardworking. Although he has not been able to learn a variety language for a long time, he has far surpassed Mr. Gao, who only knows some simple speaking.
Xiaoman told Yan Xuehuai about Mr. Gao's attempt to learn the language from him.
In the entire Dawei, his sister's pronunciation is the best, and it is good in a fault-like manner. Others' pronunciation cannot be compared with her.
As the saying goes, one trick will make you eat all over the world, so Xiaoman must first obtain his sister's consent before deciding whether to teach Mr. Gao.
If the sister disagrees, he will not teach her.
Yan Xuehuai was happy as soon as he heard this and said, "Teach, why not teach? It's just a language, it's not a patent."
At noon the next day, Mr. Gao came to the academy again. Xiaoman promised to teach him, but Xiaoman himself was also learning, so there was no need to teach, but he just shared what he learned.
Even though Xiaoman said this, Mr. Gao still gave Xiaoman a piece of training. Before Xiaoman had finished school, Mr. Gao saw Dazhuang at the entrance of the academy. Without saying a word, he stuffed the things in his hand into Dazhuang's hand.
"What is this?" Dazhuang was confused.
"Shu Xiu, your young master knows this." Mr. Gao left, afraid that he would walk slowly, so Dazhuang would catch him and ask him clearly.
Although all this happened outside the academy, not only Da Zhuang was waiting for the child outside the academy, but also many carriages from the mansion, and even people from the East Palace.
Moreover, Mr. Gao is so easy to recognize. He is thin and tall, like a bamboo pole. Besides, Dazhuang is a familiar face, and he is from the Duke's Mansion.
So that night, the news that Mr. Gao became a disciple of Li Man was spread, and even the prince knew about it.
Chai Hao looked proud, as if it was not Li Man who was apprenticed to the master, but him.
The prince nodded. Mr. Gao was very good. This is the quality that scholars should have.
He asked Chai Hao: "Did Li Man's speech speak very well?"
Chai Hao had seen Yan Xuehuai teach Xiaoman, and he wanted to learn it with him, but that language was too difficult and his tongue could not make a pen, so he stopped learning it. Yan Xuehuai said that he could learn another kind of pen, but he had seen the difficulty, so he should not learn it anymore.
"The mango's words are definitely better than Mr. Gao, but they cannot compare with my little aunt. I don't know only one word, she knows several kinds, but my little aunt is modest. She said that she only knows three kinds of things most well-versed, and the others are only a little bit. However, according to my son, the little bit that the little aunt talks is better than Mr. Gao and the others."
Chai Hao said again: "Auntie learns to speak as soon as she learns. When Ali hears the Minnan dialect that her aunt speaks, his eyes are red. His mother is from Minnan. After his mother dies, he has never heard Minnan dialect again."
Ali is the eunuch beside Chai Hao.
Yan Xuehuai's language talent, the prince heard from the queen, and now he heard Chai Hao say that the prince is not surprised. He was just surprised that what Yan Xuehuai knew was not just the language of this country.
It seems that his younger sister-in-law has been hiding his weakness before.
Since reading the book translated by Yan Xuehuai, others have broadened their horizons, but the prince has thought more.
The book describes the customs and customs of the Fan Kingdom, but what the prince saw was a property that the Great Wei did not have.
The prince does mean to send an envoy to cross the sea, but it is definitely not now.
The Great Wei, who had just experienced wars, still had to rest.
Before sending envoys to foreign countries, the Great Wei must have strong national strength that can shock the foreign countries.
However, before formally sending the mission, you can send someone to take a look. The prince wants to obtain more information about the foreign countries, and it is not enough to rely on a few books brought by the missionaries. The prince wants to see more.
It would be great if Princess Rui was a man.
The prince laughed, how could he have such ridiculous thoughts?
If Princess Rui is a man, can she still be Princess Rui?
Chai Hao rubbed his eyes. He saw something. He actually saw his father giggling. Yes, he was indeed giggling. He grew up so old that he had never seen his father laugh like this. His smile was similar to the two fools on the street.
The news that Princess Rui entered the Hanlin Academy to become an official was published in the diary newspaper and sent it to all parts of the country with the diary.
Miss Lu Si walked with the wind. She had just returned from Wujiaxiang and shared this joy with Miss Wu Jiu.
Sister Yan became an official, and Sister Yan’s younger brother accepted students, which means that Sister Yan had a disciple.
What? Princess Rui’s younger brother cannot be considered her student? So Mr. Gao is not a disciple?
Our little fairy said yes, but said no, and we are definitely not fairies.
When Fu saw his daughter, he frowned: "Look at how dignified Miss Wu Jiu, if you have a good relationship with Miss Wu Jiu, can't you learn from others?"
Miss Lu Si chuckled: "Coincidentally, the wife of the Wu family also said that Wu Jiu sister, and she also asked her to learn from her daughter."
Fu smiled, her daughter was actually not bad, she was just too childish.
"Mom, is it okay for my daughter to learn the language from Princess Rui?" Miss Lu Si pulled Fu's sleeve and looked pleased.
Fu was stunned: "You want to learn the language? What should you do?"
"My daughter just wants to learn, but my grandfather often says that her skills are not enough to suppress her."
Miss Lu Si moved out Mr. Lu, and what else can Fu have to agree? The Lu daughter's knowledge is not limited to "Female Ring" and "Female Training". They can go to the library in the mansion to find books and ask their grandfather for their teachings.
Fu asked, "Did Princess Rui agree to teach you?"
"As long as you agree, your daughter will go and ask Sister Yan for help." Miss Lu Si said.
Fu felt that Princess Rui might not agree. Besides, she also heard that Princess Rui would go to the palace. Even if she really wanted to teach, she would have to wait until she came back from the palace. Her daughter was still a childish character, saying that wind was rain. Maybe at that time, she would give up her thoughts and not want to learn anymore.
In Wujia Lane, Miss Wu Jiu also told her about this to her mother. Mrs. Su happened to be there. Even when she said that this matter would be successful, Mrs. Wu wanted to stop her, but when she saw that Mrs. Su had agreed, she agreed.
Ever since Miss Wu Jiu became a marriage-giving sister for Princess Rui, the people who have come to test these days have never stopped.
When wealthy families propose marriages, they always try to find out first. If the other party also wants to do so, they will come to the door to propose marriages.
They are all well-known families, and they are rejected by others. They are too embarrassing to propose marriage.
