Su Shien arrived at the Hanlin Academy early and completed the work at hand at super speed.
I looked up and around, and saw that everyone was working hard. I nodded with satisfaction and started to slack off with peace of mind.
Take out the rules and regulations, read them carefully, and take notes seriously.
Officials have a variety of ways and reasons to request leave, such as to avoid suspicion, sick leave, mourning, business trips, travel and inspections, and weddings and funerals.
You can also ask for leave by blocking roads, expressing your intention to leave Beijing, or through self-reflection.
"Sick leave" and "self-reflection" are the key points. These two universal reasons for taking leave are very suitable for him.
Although "sick leave" is short, it is random and can be taken whenever needed, which is very convenient.
"Self-reflection" is suitable for taking a short vacation. For example, after he was caught on the street by the Guards last time, he used an excuse to take a three-day vacation.
But such opportunities are rare, and require the right time, place and people. They are hard to come by and should be cherished doubly.
?Generally speaking, officials can only take three days off per month. If they take more than three days, their salary will be fined.
In addition to the "five days work and one day off" system of this dynasty, Su Shien can enjoy a maximum of eight days of vacation per month without deducting his salary.
However, people like Ning Yuanzhao who only retained their positions in name only not only did not receive a salary, but also had to pay money to the Ministry of Revenue on a regular basis.
The Minister of Revenue hated the descendants of nobles who were drawing salaries without doing anything the most.
What I like most is a good kid like Ning Yuanzhao who pays the fine voluntarily.
Someone like Su Shien, what good dreams are there for them to deduct from him? His annual salary is forty-five taels, and he can't lose even half a tael of silver.
In just half a year, Su Shien became a veteran in the Hanlin Academy.
So when the old man took the half-day leave note again and asked his immediate boss to stamp it for him.
The Hanlin scholar thought he could stamp his document calmly without delving into the reasons.
But when he saw the tricky reason for asking for leave and the precisely controlled half-day time, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
It is true that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, but once it grows horns it is afraid of a wolves.
You young people have to know how to take personal leave.
It took Su Shien two hours to go to the yamen and only two minutes to leave.
When Gu Chengyi chased out, he found that the man had already walked two hundred meters away.
He is worthy of being the most powerful martial artist in the Hanlin Academy.
Most literati hope to be both civil and military, to be able to write poetry, to hoe the fields, and to fight in armor.
But in fact this is just a fantasy. Those who can truly achieve both civil and military proficiency and endure this hardship are mostly the children of nobles and royal relatives.
Su Shien could barely be considered a man of both civil and military talents within the Hanlin Academy.
It was lunchtime and there were not many people around the stable, so Su Shien walked in confidently.
I patted Xiaohong and asked it to block the door and protect me. Xiaohong was obedient and stood across the door of the compartment.
Su Shien looked at the big tail that kept swinging and patted Xiaohong's "fly on the butt".
This has a good meaning, today will definitely go smoothly.
After waiting for half an hour, a young eunuch came with two buckets, cursing and pouring water on the horses.
"You're just being lazy. You didn't even add water for the whole morning. You just waited for my shift to do it. You're really a mean person who gets away with it."
"Drink! Drink! Drink! All you do is drink! It's freezing cold, why are you drinking so much water?"
"Go, go, move to the side, you're blocking the door."
"Oh~ Hanlin family's animal, your treatment is a bit miserable! The valuable dark horse is lost, and you are left to take over."
"Are you thirsty? Kneel down and kowtow to me. If I'm happy, I'll give you some water. Hahaha... Ah! What is that?"
The laughter stopped abruptly, and Su Shien dragged the little eunuch who had fallen to the ground into the compartment and covered him with a straw curtain.
Xiaohong, who was in charge of providing cover, shook off the grass debris on her body and continued to stand at the door diligently.
Just when the young eunuch was careless, Su Shien directly threw out a handful of hay, and while the other party had no time to react, he decisively knocked him down.
A quarter of an hour later, Han Zeyu suddenly appeared, threw the unconscious eunuch onto his horse, and took the man and the horse directly into the underground passage.
Su Shien dealt with the situation and then rushed out. When he saw the guards, he panicked and said, "My horse is lost. Did you see a bay horse passing by here?"
The guards were stunned by the question and mumbled, "I just came back from my shift and didn't see any horses leave. How did your horse get lost again?"
The word "again" stung Su Shien's heart, and he said bitterly, "Which damn villain is it that only picks on me? I've suffered a heavy loss!"
Su Shien shouted that he would report to the police and ran away in a hurry.
The guards were also dumbfounded. After their brothers who were on shift came back, they hurried to find the supervisor of the Imperial Stables.
The two of them rushed to the stable. The clerk knew the location of the gentlemen's carriages and quickly pointed them out.
The three of them looked and saw that the Su family's carriage was still there, and the traction harness was also there, but the horse pulling the carriage was nowhere to be seen.
The rope was undone manually. Could someone have sneaked in? Or was it someone stealing from the inside?
I remembered that just last month, Su Shien had a conflict with a young eunuch from the Imperial Stables. Could it be that he was holding a grudge and taking revenge on someone personal?
The warden asked the clerk to check. A short while later, the clerk returned with a booklet in his hand, saying with trepidation, "That boy happened to be on duty today. He, he's missing now."
The prison officer was furious. What was he even investigating? If he wasn't acting out of favoritism and seeking revenge, there would be something fishy going on.
Han Zeyu gave the man another blow with his knife, tied him tightly to the horse's back, and covered him with a blanket. The human-shaped saddle was perfect.
