Chapter 983 I Want to Stay in the Capital
"What if it gets caught?"
Shao Yunduan: “.”
He laughed helplessly and sighed: "Madam, you are just arguing."
"You're going to chase me away, and you won't let me argue?"
"Xu—No, I didn't chase you away!" Shao Yunduan was completely misled by Qiao Xuan's nonsense. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry and sighed: "But I'm really worried if you stay in Beijing."
Qiao Xuan looked at him and said quietly, "But if I'm not in the capital, you won't worry about me?"
Shao Yunduan paused.
"You're willing to not see me for several years?"
Shao Yunduan felt depressed.
"I want to stay in the capital."
Shao Yunduan looked at Qiao Xuan, who had finally given up. He held her hand and chuckled, "Forget it. In that case, let's stay here together!"
Qiao Xuan finally burst into laughter, "Don't worry, the Tian family and we don't have much in common, so we can only expect to meet each other once in a while! The Tian family won't take a bastard like me, who knows nothing, seriously. But you, when you serve in the same court with the Tian family in the future, the Tian family has a wide network of connections, and there are countless students, former officials, relatives and friends serving in the court, so you should be more careful!"
"I can't help you with anything else, but at least I can let you relax and have a good rest after you go home. Isn't that good?"
Shao Yunduan felt warm at heart and said with a smile: "Who said my lady knows nothing? What my lady said is very reasonable! I am not afraid of resigning, so why would I care about being bullied? At worst, I can just quit my job! Let's just stay in the capital and see how long we can stay here."
Qiao Xuan laughed.
This sounded hopeless and unmotivated, but Qiao Xuan liked it very much.
After the two of them discussed this matter, they felt less entangled and felt very relieved.
Otherwise, why do we say that one who has no desires is strong?
As long as he doesn't seek personal gain and doesn't take the gains and losses too seriously, the Tian family has nothing to threaten him.
After the Qionglin Banquet, the highlight moment of the new scholars was officially over.
As a scholar, they have completed it smoothly and gloriously.
Next up is another journey into official career.
How this journey goes is another matter.
Although everyone’s qualifications for entering the official career are different: third class, Jinshi, and Tong Jinshi, the starting point before them now is the same.
After ten or twenty years, who knows?
Maybe the top scholar was mediocre, or maybe his fellow Jinshi became a high-ranking official.
None of this is impossible.
Everyone is nervous, expectant, and making secret vows. Who knows, they may become the most dazzling person in the future?
Shao Yunduan had already made up his mind and was very calm without thinking too much about gains and losses.
Looking at all these situations and all kinds of people, I suddenly realized something different in my heart.
The Ministry of Personnel made the appointments, and soon everyone's assignments and positions were all assigned one by one.
A total of forty-six people remained in the capital, scattered among the six ministries, the Hanlin Academy and other places. Naturally, the rookies who had just joined the job were either ninth or eighth rank, and the highest was only seventh rank, and their starting point would never be higher.
The rest were sent to various parts of the country as local officials.
The difference between them, whether the place of employment is in Jiangnan, Central Plains, remote areas in the south, or the cold and harsh areas in the northwest, is greater than the difference between people staying in the capital.
