As soon as Shen Fei and her party returned to the Duke's Mansion, Tang Zhiling was called away by the servant.
He came to Tang Guogong's study, "Father!"
Tang Guogong raised his head and pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down and wait for me."
Tang Zhiling sat directly on the chair, still looking forward to it.
Because he felt that Tang Guogong called him here, it must be about his official position.
Tang Guogong finally finished writing and put down the pen.
After washing his hands, he also sat down and said, "Lao San, I have already arranged your position. It is in the Engineering Department of the Sixth Department."
Tang Zhiling was still very satisfied, at least with the Ministry of Industry.
"Father, what kind of position is that?"
Tang Guogong coughed slightly, "He is a member of the Military Affairs Bureau. He is an official of the seventh rank. He is mainly responsible for affairs such as farming, camp, and professional fields. Third brother, are you satisfied with this position?"
Tang Zhiling: "..."
Tang Zhiling never thought that he would be the Tuntian Secretary.
This was different from what he thought. Secretly, he felt that he could enter the Ministry of Etiquette.
He wouldn't even dare to think about popular places like the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of War, but among the six ministries, the Ministry of Industry is the lowest.
Tang Guogong saw Tang Zhiling's silent look and asked, "What? Are you not satisfied?"
Tang Zhiling retracted her thoughts and said, "No, I would like to thank my father."
Tang Guogong sighed, "Third brother, your knowledge base is shallow and you have not passed the formal imperial examination to become an official. If you go to those popular places, you will be compared with others. You might as well be in the Ministry of Industry."
Tang Zhiling: "..."
Tang Zhiling's hands were clasped together tightly, and there was an unspeakable sadness in his heart.
Of the four brothers in the Duke's mansion, his father was the only one who was special to him and the most lenient to him.
When he was little, he would be proud of it.
But now...
Tang Zhiling was very angry and didn't know who to direct his anger at.
Tang Zhiling suppressed the emotions in her heart and whispered: "No, thank you father."
Tang Guogong nodded and encouraged Tang Zhiling, "That's good. Report to the Ministry of Industry in two days."
"yes!"
After Tang Zhiling got the answer, he left directly.
After Shen Fei came back, she took Little Fu Bao, who woke up, back to her room.
Xiao Xi and Xiao Shuang have been taken down by Grandma Li to learn the rules.
The two children were brought back by Shen Fei herself, so they lived in a different place from the maids in the Duke's Mansion. They did not go to a special servant room, but in a small room next to Grandma Li. The two children were younger. Therefore, one room is separated by a screen.
The main reason is that Xiaoshuang is too young, and Shen Fei doesn't think about what he can do, so now he is allowed to stay with his sister and have someone to take care of him.
Shen Fei directly put Xiao Fu Bao on the bed and lay down on it herself.
The two of them played on the bed for a long time.
Little Fubao is also crazy. He can play with Shen Fei and is in a good mood. He always laughs "quack, quack, quack".
Shen Fei also found it interesting. This guy was not that big, but his voice was quite loud.
"Zai Zai, come and crawl for mother. Come on, crawl forward."
Little Fubao kept kicking his legs like a little turtle.
At this time, Tang Zhiling walked into the courtyard and suddenly heard Xiao Fubao's laughter.
He felt a little better.
But there was still no happy look on his face.
Shen Fei looked unhappy when she saw Tang Zhiling come in, "Tang Zhiling, what's wrong with you? What kind of blow did you receive?"
Tang Zhiling glanced at Shen Fei and said, "The officer my father donated to me has come down. It's the seventh rank."
Shen Fei was overjoyed, "Seventh-grade official, that's great. Isn't this the same level as the county magistrate?"
Tang Zhiling rolled his eyes at Shen Fei, "Can a seventh-grade county magistrate and a seventh-grade Yuanwailang be the same?"
Shen Fei really didn't understand the inner world: "Yuan Wai Lang? What do you care about?"
"A member of the Farming Department of the Ministry of Industry."
Shen Fei didn't understand, "Isn't the Tuntian Division bad? From the name, it means it's in charge of the land! It's not bad!"
Shen Fei thinks it's pretty good.
Tang Zhiling explained patiently, "The Tuntian Division is in charge of the tuntian, job fields and public fields. It manages the civil and military officials in Beijing, as well as the official fields of the Jingzhao and Henan prefectures and the county magistrates of Beijing. The government fields of the various companies in the capital are all allocated by it. ..."
Tang Zhiling explained the responsibilities and scope of the Tuntian Division to Shen Fei, but Shen Fei's eyes brightened slightly, "That's okay. If you go here, you can do great things."
Shen Fei patted her chest and assured Tang Zhiling, "You have also seen my land. Look at my vegetables. Are they particularly good?"
Tang Zhiling nodded, "Not bad!"
Shen Fei patted Tang Zhiling's shoulder heavily, "That's enough! I'm here!"
When Tang Zhiling saw Shen Fei's vow, a smile appeared on her lips. Regardless of whether Shen Fei was joking with him or not, she was at least willing to share the responsibility with him.
Tang Zhiling took Xiao Fubao from Shen Fei's arms and held his chubby hand, "I started preparing for the imperial examination at my age. Isn't it a bit old? If you want to go far in the officialdom, you still have to be serious. You must be from the imperial examination, otherwise your promotion will be restricted.”
"You are only 18 years old, are you old?"
Shen Fei didn't agree very much and encouraged Tang Zhiling.
"I heard that some of you here have to take the examination for scholar, and it will take several years. If you start studying now, you will be in a hurry."
