Soon, Tian Xu was arranged by the emperor to work in the cabinet to sort books. The cabinet was the place closest to the emperor, and most ministers came from the cabinet. So as long as Tian Xu did not make mistakes, his official career would basically be smooth. If he could be directly sent out to make some political achievements, he would basically be a senior official of the fourth rank or above before retiring.
The emperor also remembered the clothes he was wearing and asked privately who made the clothes. After learning that it was a young woman who was making a living in Jizhou City with her mother and brother, he fell silent for a while, did not ask any more questions, and even put the matter behind him.
Zhou Qingyun kept his hands clenched tightly. Although his expression didn't reveal anything, there was a hint of nervousness in the depths of his eyes. He was worried that the emperor would directly ask this person to come to Nanjing. After all, the emperor was unpredictable now, and no one knew what he would do. He was even worried that Wang Shiyu's face, which was somewhat similar to the regent and the Zhang family when they were young, would cause Wang Shiyu a lot of trouble.
But fortunately, the emperor only asked a few questions and then let Tian Xu leave without mentioning the matter of the woman, as if he had forgotten about it. The emperor really didn't take this matter to heart. It was just that some clever ideas could attract his attention, but this attention could not distract him for too long. After all, it was just a little bit of cleverness, so he just put it behind his mind.
After the results of the palace examination came out, Tian Xu went to a restaurant for a banquet with a few good friends. He sent someone close to him away early and hurried back to Jizhou City to report the good news. After all, Jizhou City was too far away from Nanjing, so Tian Xu decided not to return home directly in glory, but to live in the capital for three months before reporting to the cabinet.
At that time, Tian Xu's parents believed that their son would definitely pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, but they didn't know which class he would get. Time passed quickly, and a month went by in a flash. The little boy who was rushed back by the horse informed Tian's parents about this matter, but they did not make it public at the time. It was not until the official came to announce the good news that a buffet banquet was held soon.
After all, being the runner-up in the imperial examination among merchants and being directly appointed to a position in Jinling, even if it was only as a seventh-rank official, was already excellent, not to mention the Tian family's merchant status.
Today, he has completely gotten rid of the name of a merchant. After Wang Shiyu knew about this, he didn't say much. After receiving the silver sent by Tian's parents, he discussed with the owner of the embroidery shop and decided not to accept any clothing orders in the future. Making clothes is also quite dangerous, mainly because it is too scary. This time is enough. As long as he becomes famous, it will be fine.
