Pan Xiaoxian got the thing done, and in the next few days, his mood was always tense and expectant.
During lunch, Pan Xiaoxian heard the chatter of his colleagues again.
"Jinling Imperial College has almost enrolled students this year, and I don't know who will have the chance to be promoted."
"The original schools of the Imperial College are basically full. This year, several more schools have been expanded. Each school needs an assistant teacher, and there are several more ninth-grade official positions."
"Have you given any gifts to the higher-ups? I heard that the teaching assistant position has been sold for one thousand taels."
When Pan Xiaoxian heard the figure of one thousand taels, he said that there were so many rich people who were willing to spend ten million for an official position as a teaching assistant.
With so much money, Pan Xiaoxian sold all his organs and still couldn't raise 10 million.
but……
Pan Xiaoxian heard about this in the past, and could only curse the dark officialdom with several colleagues, complain, and envy those rich people who bought the ninth-grade official position that he had never expected in his life.
This time was different. Pan Xiaoxian listened to his colleagues talking about this matter with the mentality of watching a show.
A colleague watched Pan Xiaoxian sullenly eating, and seemed to be depressed about buying a ninth-grade official position with one thousand taels.
The colleague poked him with his hand: "I heard that you are Liu Rushi's cousin. It is rare that the Imperial College has recruited a few more assistants this time. Why don't you go find Liu Rushi for some exercise?"
Pan Xiaoxian responded perfunctorily and said nothing, as if he was even more depressed after hearing his colleague's reminder.
The colleagues looked at each other and stopped mentioning Liu Rushi's relationship.
After all, the number of one thousand taels of silver is too big. It is possible to borrow one thousand taels of silver from relatives, but it is almost impossible to borrow one thousand taels of silver.
In the eyes of his colleagues, Pan Xiaoxian should have gone to Liu Rushi to borrow money, but was rejected, so he was in a bad mood.
Pan Xiaoxian had lunch, put down three copper coins, and returned to the library he managed.
One tael of silver can be exchanged for a thousand coins.
Pan Xiaoxian eats three meals a day and buys some dried meat snacks, which only costs ten cents.
The maximum monthly expenses are 300 cents, and there is still 700 cents left.
One thousand taels of silver was still an astronomical figure that was unimaginable to Pan Xiaoxian, who was already an official.
Colleagues all thought that Pan Xiaoxian still missed this opportunity and would continue to struggle, unable to be promoted to a full ninth-grade assistant coach.
When the Imperial College announced the candidates for the promotion of teaching assistants, all the colleagues had strange expressions.
"Why is Pan Xiaoxian on the list? How can he have one thousand taels of silver?"
"There is a lot of money in the library. You can earn at most a dozen or twenty taels of silver in a year. No matter how hard Pan Xiaoxian works to earn money, he may not be able to earn a thousand taels of silver in his life."
"Nine times out of ten, someone else took the money for him."
Colleagues were all talking about Pan Xiaoxian's promotion to the rank of ninth-grade teaching assistant. They thought hard and couldn't figure out where Pan Xiaoxian got the thousand taels of silver.
In the end, it could only be pushed to Liu Rushi, because only she could easily come up with a thousand taels of silver.
"Congratulations, Assistant Professor Pan."
Pan Xiaoxian was humming a little tune, carrying a pot of rice wine and a pack of braised beef in his hand, and walked home to drink and celebrate.
Pan Xiaoxian had just opened the door and walked in when a sound suddenly came from the room, startling him.
Pan Xiaoxian quickly reached out for the dagger, saw the man's appearance clearly, and relaxed: "You are no longer a wanted criminal. There is no need to climb in through the window like a thief."
The green-faced tiger sat in the room and looked behind him cautiously and found that no one else was following him.
The green-faced tiger is still more vigilant: "Although my family has been rescued, we can't let down our guard against Wu Gui. I came here today to tell you something. I overheard a message from Wu Gui's home. He may be in The choice of school will be a stumbling block for you."
After Qing Mian Hu said this, he thanked Pan Xiaoxian for being the mediator and saving his family with the help of Zhou Xingru.
Pan Xiaoxian saw him preparing to leave through the window and put down the food and wine in his hand: "I don't have any friends in Jinling. You are here just in time to celebrate together."
The green-faced tiger glanced at the rice wine and braised beef, swallowed, and hid around for a while. He didn't drink or eat meat for a while.
It's safer here, almost no one comes here.
The green-faced tiger picked up the wine bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and said happily: "Don't take it seriously. I overheard that among the students recruited this time, there was a female school that had never been recruited before. All the students in it were women. , Wu Gui is going to use his connections to let you become a teaching assistant at a girls’ school.”
Pan Xiaoxian heard a sentence about girls' school and understood why the old man, a rough green-faced tiger, thought this matter was serious.
From Pan Xiaoxian's point of view, being a teaching assistant in a girls' school was no big deal. The absence of female students in the school would make him feel uncomfortable.
People in this world are different. For a scholar to work as a teaching assistant for a group of women, it is simply a shame and a great humiliation.
It's more serious than the humiliation of digging up ancestral graves.
Pan Xiaoxian smiled: "I didn't expect double happiness. Wu Gui used his connections to help me."
help?
The green-faced tiger grabbed the chopped braised beef and stuffed a handful into his mouth. He couldn't figure out what was going on in Pan Xiaoxian's mind.
It can only be regarded as him enjoying his misery.
Anyway, I can only work as a teaching assistant for a group of women. I can grieve appropriately and be happy appropriately. It is better to be happy all day long.
At least you can still have a good mood.
Pan Xiaoxian saw the green-faced tiger's expression as if he had seen a fool, so he didn't care and continued to have fun.
Pan Xiaoxian suddenly understood what opportunity Liu Rushi was talking about.
It is rare for a female school to appear in the Imperial College, and only one person has the ability to make it happen.
The Queen Mother listens to politics behind the curtain.
When these female students complete their studies, they will definitely become female officials, and they will also become some more important female officials.
For Pan Xiaoxian, he could finally expand his connections in the officialdom.
"Boom!"
There was a sudden knock on the door. Pan Xiaoxian didn't respond. The green-faced tiger jumped out of the window in an instant.
Pan Xiaoxian only felt a figure flash before his eyes, and the green-faced tiger disappeared. He laughed dumbly: "He ran really fast."
Pan Xiaoxian put down the wine bowl in his hand, walked to the door of the room, and opened the door.
A graceful figure appeared at the door.
Yun Niang walked in anxiously: "I heard that you have been promoted. This is not a good thing and will not help your future. How about I go to Zhou Xingru and tell you to wait until next year to promote you."
Pan Xiaoxian looked at Yun Niang, who was very concerned about the girls' school, and felt happy, and did not continue to hide the specific situation.
Pan Xiaoxian told the truth: "This is the opportunity Liu Rushi mentioned."
opportunity?
Yun Niang was a smart person and quickly figured it out and understood the meaning of Pan Xiaoxian's words.
"Haha, Wu Gui stole the chicken but lost the rice this time."
