Chapter 110 The Scholar and the Flower Demon 24

Although he was determined to speed up the journey, Yan Lang is now worthy of his name, and he has to worry about his mother Yan Chang and the two children who are said to be growing in Xiao Tan's belly.

Although Xiao Tandu said that she had no problem, both Yan Lang and Yan Chang firmly demanded that they could rush along the way, but they definitely had to rest and eat.

Fortunately, they were a little tired in the first few days of riding on the carriage. When they arrived at the county town and boarded the boat, they didn't have to worry about their itinerary. Anyway, they didn't have the final say whether it was fast or slow.

Now Yan Lang is the editor of Hanlin Academy and is the seventh rank.

The main job of the Hanlin Academy's literary servants and officials is now the daily work of the court, such as drafting imperial edicts, compiling historical books, and lectures on the imperial lectures. They are not very powerful, but because of the particularity of the Hanlin Academy, many times even those with higher ranks than them will be particularly polite to the Hanlin Academy.

When Yan Lang returned to Beijing this time, he was naturally on an official boat and had arranged a good-location room.

Not only does the environment be better when riding an official boat, it will not be as numerous as a passenger boat, and it will be very fast, and you will not encounter any bandits blocking the road. When you encounter someone who needs to give up your position, the official boat will also take the lead.

The private ships of large officials and wealthy merchants all need to give way to the official ship, otherwise it would be fine when it is okay. If someone wants to play games, it would be said that if he does not give way to the official ship, it would be considered a contempt for the imperial court.

Of course, what makes Yan Lang the most funny is that even if there are frequent monsters outside, people who are in trouble with the people, they will subconsciously avoid the government agencies such as the official ship, for fear of attracting the attention of the court. This really corresponds to the old saying that if you bully people, you have to find soft persimmons to pinch them.

He arrived in the capital without delay. Because it happened to be the morning, Yan Lang did not ask his mother and wife to go to the inn to rest first. Xiang Sheng happened to send a small supervisor to pick him up. Yan Lang took his not much luggage and his family on the low-key green carriage and went straight to the official house.

In addition to the high-ranking officials and locals in the court, more of them are outsiders. Poor children like Yan Lang naturally cannot buy a house in the capital as soon as they take office. Therefore, the court has special official houses, and the official houses will be near the yamen where officials work.

When Yan Lang's appointment letter was released, the official house assigned to him had been recorded, and there were also people who were responsible for cleaning the official house before Yan Lang moved in until Yan Lang moved in.

Therefore, when Yan Lang arrived at the official residence in a carriage in Guocheng, Yan Chang and the others could not directly place the house without doing too much cleaning.

The official houses are all in residential areas outside the imperial city. Because the living are all the families of officials, everyone is decent. When they see new neighbors, no one is curious to run to look around. They can only come over to see if the new neighbors have snacks to greet them. They will try to see if this family is worth making friends with.

Xiao Tan and Yan Chang stayed in the official house, Lin Song was responsible for running errands and buying things, Yan Lang himself went to the Ministry of Personnel to cancel his leave, and was taken to the Hanlin Academy for a walk, and received the corresponding official uniforms, hats and shoes, and he would officially start taking office tomorrow.

Because of this, the second person who entered the Hanlin Academy was the second person who had two relationships with Yan Lang and cheerful and cheerful in the same year. In addition, Yan Lang himself was praised by the emperor in private, and he was gentle and down-to-earth and steady in the Hanlin Academy. Yan Lang naturally did a good job in the Hanlin Academy.

Yan Lang rarely attends any activities, and has no intention of making friends with the powerful or becoming rich. He seems to be the most down-to-earth editor.

In this way, until Yan Lang's first son was born, Yan Lang served for one year and was undoubtedly promoted to the sixth rank of attendant in the Hanlin Academy, and was prosecuted as an official and registered classics. He was the emperor and the crown prince to read the classics and history.

However, there is no prince now. This position is actually more about showing that the emperor values ​​this person. There is another meaning, that is, to tell the officials of the court: Oh, I have brought up this person and I am about to start using it. Let's get familiar with each other first.

Yan Lang also had the opportunity to contact several princes of the emperor. The third prince has been very calm this year, as if he really put down his impetuous thoughts. When he saw Yan Lang, he did not deliberately alienate him, but only treated him as an ordinary friend.

Yan Lang also had the same meaning, even if the emperor occasionally asked Yan Lang what he thought of the princes with emotion, Yan Lang also said a few pertinent words without bias.

However, when it comes to evaluating the prince, Yan Lang is not that stupid. He only chooses the advantages. No matter what the emperor thinks about the princes who have become increasingly fierce in the past year, it is impossible for a small attendant around him to comment freely.

The king is always the king. No matter what the princes are, as long as they are born in the royal family, then the ministers like Yan Lang will always have respect for the other party.

It is not to the prince himself, but to respect the bloodline that belongs to the emperor who has continued the past.

Yan Lang relied on his low-key persistence to act without forming cliques and not committing personal gains until six years later when the third prince ascended the throne under the will of the previous emperor, no one inside and outside the court knew that Yan Lang had served as the third prince.

The new emperor ascended the throne, which was originally a busy mess, but because the third prince had long been familiar with the operation of the court, and the late emperor's will was unpredictable and the civil and military officials were busy having funerals for the late emperor and they were idle.

After that day, Yan Lang Sanshi pushed for the invitation to drink tea and hurriedly prepared to rush home.

After arriving in the capital, he felt deeply that the burden of raising children was already heavy on his shoulders, so Yan Lang thought about saving money to open a small shop.

Although officials explicitly stipulate that they cannot do business, the emperor knew that it was impossible to bear the expenses of a family and a family by relying solely on salary, so they had the practice of placing the store on other people's names.

Yan Lang is convenient. Whether it is his mother Yan Chang or his wife Yan Rong, even according to the laws of this dynasty, he can still hold a certain number of shops as their dowry.

Hearing that Yan Lang had the intention of opening a shop, the third prince was grateful to Yan Lang's wake up and signaled that Xiang Sheng, who was openly acquainted with Yan Lang, helped, so the Yan family's flower shop opened in this way.

When it comes to opening a store, Yan Lang seriously discussed it with Xiao Tan and his mother for this matter. After discussing it, they didn’t have anything to do with it.

If they want to sell ordinary rouge, gouache, silk, etc., their property will definitely not be as good as those of the ladies of those who are wealthy. The quality and style of the goods are not as good as those of other people's homes, so they naturally cannot expect to have a good business.

Finally, Xiao Tan remembered the flowers and plants, so he finally felt that he could make some contribution to this family, and he ran diligently with a big belly. He was very active and went to Fahua Temple, which was very famous in the capital, to chat with the passing ladies and wives, and asked them what kind of flowers and plants they like and what special ideas they had about flowers and plants.

Du Juan and Lu Kongruo were still the same as before, only a few years older, and nothing else changed. Yan Lang went to his mother's side to take a look first, and borrowed Lu Kongruo from his mother's side. The two went to the main courtyard together.
