Kang Shilin took the scroll and did not open it in a hurry. He motioned for Zhao Ruxi to sit down and asked her: "I heard that Mr. Qi and Mr. Gan, the ministers of the Ministry of Hubu, once came to see you. You refused to go to the Ministry of Hubu to help?"

"Don't I have to take the imperial examination now? If they ask me to help at this time, they can figure it out." Zhao Ruxi said helplessly.

Kang Shilin stretched out his hand, nodded towards Zhao Ruxi, and said with an expression like "Don't fool me like this, are you going to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

He was very perceptive and mature. That day Qi Xugu came to ask Zhao Ruxi for help, but Zhao Ruxi refused. He knew very well what the purpose of the two people's going back and forth was.

However, the results of the general examination had not been announced yet, so he did not call Zhao Ruxi to ask.

"Hehe, nothing can be hidden from your bright eyes, Master." Zhao Ruxi poured a cup of tea for Kang Shilin in an awkward manner.

Kang Shilin knew that this young apprentice was young, still a girl, and looked well-behaved, but in fact, he had the right ideas in his heart than anyone else.

He stopped asking in a hurry, picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, and asked: "Then where do you want to go?"

"I want to go out." Zhao Ruxi said.

She knew that Kang Shilin's purpose in calling her over to ask was just to find out what she was thinking, so that he could say hello to Wu Huaisi, or go directly to the emperor to say hello. It was better to say hello early than to make arrangements later when the time came.

However, the senior brother has always taken care of her. Even if she didn't say anything, he would still ask before sending an official. Not to mention that she refused the recruitment from the Ministry of Revenue.

Of course, if you pass the first-level Jinshi exam, you don’t need to ask anything. You will directly enter the Hanlin Academy.

Even if the master didn't call her today, she would come over.

Kang Shilin nodded.

He was not surprised at all by Zhao Ruxi's answer.

In the past two years, Zhao Ruxi had been talking to him and his three senior brothers about how good Jiangnan was. If he could serve as an official in another place in his lifetime, he would experience a completely different experience from being an official in the capital and appreciate the customs and customs of Jiangnan. It would not be a waste of time.

People, be an official once.

Because of her bragging, not only Gong Cheng and Wu Zong, but also Wu Huai Temple were a little moved.

Of course, no matter how tempted Wuhuai Temple is, it is impossible to let him go to other places. The highest position for an official who is let go is the governor of the third grade, and he is the minister of the Ministry of official affairs of the first grade. Unless he is demoted, otherwise this heartbeat will not

It can only be a pity.

Now it's Zhao Ruxi's turn to be an official. She wants to be an official in Jiangnan, which is the expected answer.

But there was one problem, and he was worried that the little girl didn't understand it.

"Girl, you have to think about it. I have asked Mr. Peng. With your talent and learning, it is absolutely no problem for you to be ranked among the top three in the imperial examination. But the first-class Jinshi are all admitted to the Hanlin Academy. If you want to be released, I

You still have to go to the palace to say hello to the emperor and ask him to order you out of Tanhua."

Zhao Ruxi nodded: "I know. Even if you don't ask me to come here today, I will come to tell you before the palace examination and ask you to say hello."

It has always been a rule that the top three scholars, the top scholar, the second best scholar, and the third best scholar, must enter the Hanlin Academy and become concubines. This is a traditional rule. After staying in the Hanlin Academy for one or two years, they will be transferred to various ministries and sent to other places.

In other words, if she chooses to go out, she will directly give up the honor of being a first-class Jinshi; otherwise, it will be against the rules and make things difficult for the emperor.

"I know that if I do this, I will not be able to live up to the expectations of Her Royal Highness the Princess and Mrs. Cui. But people always have to make choices. Going out is my long-cherished wish. For this wish, I have to give up something."

She smiled slightly: "Besides, Jin Dynasty is full of talents. Even if I don't give up, it won't matter to me. Saying this will not make anyone think that I am frivolous."

Even though she had confidence in herself, even though her master was optimistic about her, there were only two of them here, and the servants of the Kang family did not dare to spread their conversation to the outside world. But people can't talk too much. She really didn't feel that she was the number one scholar.

, the second place is her bag.

When Kang Shilin heard this, he was silent for a while and nodded.

The girl gave up Yijia, not only to fulfill her wish, but also because she did not want to embarrass the emperor.

Take a step back and the world will be brighter. This girl has understood the great truth.

"Okay, I will go to the palace and convey your wishes to the emperor." He sighed.

When the news came that Zhao Ruxi refused to be recruited by the Ministry of Household Affairs, Kang Shilin was actually thinking about what to do if this little girl wanted to become an official in Jiangnan.

"Your father is in Gusu Mansion, where do you want to go?" he asked.

Zhao Ruxi raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Master, everyone else advised me not to go. I just stayed in the capital. With you always protecting me, no one dared to bully me. When I entered the Yamen, no one dared to make me angry without saying anything.

You won’t look down on me because I’m a woman. Why don’t you advise me?”

Kang Shilin reached out and patted her on the head: "You have to listen to my advice. You girl has a good idea."

Zhao Ruxi laughed twice: "Master, I don't have a specific location. But my father is in Gusu Mansion, so I have to avoid Jiangzhou Province; besides, you are old, and it is not convenient for me to come back to see you if I am far away from you.

.So if possible, I would like to serve as an official in Anju Province for a year and a half."

The geographical location of Dajin is similar to the country she was in in her previous life. The capital of Dajin is equivalent to the location of Nanjing, so she rushes to Gusu Prefecture, which only takes two days. And Anzhou Province is where the counties and cities near the capital are located.

province.

If she had nothing to do with Xiao Lingyan, it would be better for her to go further south; but now her boyfriend is in the capital, and in order to deliver the news more conveniently, she can only choose a place closer to the capital.

Knowing clearly that what this girl said was probably to make him happy, Kang Shilin was still very happy after hearing this.

Zhao Ruxi said again: "Master, I am not young anymore, and my mother has been arranging marriage arrangements for me. So I will probably not stay in my post for a long time. The year and a half I said is really a year and a half. So please don't

I'm going to ask for favors from the emperor. When I'm waiting for the appointment, senior brother will see where there are vacancies and arrange for me to go there. With senior brother taking care of me, no one will dare to embarrass me no matter where I go, so you can rest assured.

Bar."

As she said that, she said with a smile: "When I go to work as a foreigner, you will always come to live there for a while. In addition to giving me courage, you can also take a look at the scenery and relax. This is also the reason why I chose Anzhou Province, so that you can always travel.

It’s convenient, and Senior Brother Kang can rest assured.”

What she said was really not to coax Kang Shilin. She chose Anzhou Province not only for conveying news, but also for Kang Shilin's reasons.

Kang Shilin and Xiao Ge had a very good relationship. Xiao Ge treated him like his uncle, and Kang Shilin looked at Xiao Ge like a son.
