When Shen Nian returned from the palace, Xia Tian was preparing to have lunch.
"Huh? You're back just now, Brother Shen?" Didn't you go to the palace to see the emperor? Why are you back so early?
"Um."
"Have you eaten yet? If not, let's eat something together?"
"Okay." Shen Nian sat down at the dining table.
"Ningxiang, get a set of bowls and chopsticks for your young master." Xia Tian looked like he hadn't eaten yet.
Ningxiang quickly put the dishes and chopsticks on the table. Xia Tian picked up the bowl and filled it with soup, placing it in front of Shen Nian. "Brother Shen, drink a bowl of soup to warm yourself up first."
Shen Nian smiled and picked up the bowl.

He only knew that the highest official in the six ministries was the Shangshu, and he didn't really know anything about the others.
"I'm a doctor in charge of the Chariot Department of the Ministry of War. I'm a fifth-rank official. I'm mainly responsible for horse management, vehicles and other war supplies, as well as the preparation of the ceremonial carriage for the emperor's travels." Chen Nian patiently explained to Xia Tian what he was mainly responsible for.
"Fifth rank? That's not small!" Xia Tian was quite surprised. He didn't expect Chen Nian to become a fifth rank official directly. Generally, Jinshi who entered the officialdom through the imperial examination were assigned to positions of sixth or seventh rank, right? In this case, fifth rank should be quite large.
"Then let's celebrate. So, I will cook for Brother Shen myself in the evening." Xia Tian said happily.
"Okay." Shen Nian's eyebrows softened a lot.
