Liang Tinggui's forehead broke out in cold sweat.
He jumped down from his horse and knelt in front of Liu Hao."This subordinate, Liang Tinggui, greets the Shangguan!”
He bowed three times and kowtowed nine times.
The etiquette of the Great Qing Dynasty was extremely complicated. The saying that a higher rank would crush someone was definitely not a joke.
Liu Hao only glanced at Liang Tinggui from the corner of his eye. He glanced around and indeed saw two handsome young masters dressed as men.
This should be Meng 'er and Xin' er.
Meng 'er searched for her father from thousands of miles away!
Liu Hao had a plan in his heart!
This could be considered a small contribution. If the contribution was enough, Qianlong might even let him go out earlier and give him more power.
"Let's go!" Liu Hao waved his hand and returned to the sedan chair.
"Oh my god, you're amazing!" After returning to the sedan chair, Xiao Yue 'er couldn't help but exclaim, staring at Liu Hao and saying,""How can you be so powerful? With just a few words, you can make this Lord Liang escape dejectedly!”
Liu Hao smiled slightly. After which, he slowly opened his mouth and said,"A higher rank can crush a person. My rank is higher than his, so he naturally has to be afraid of me. What's your name?”
"My name is Xiao Yue 'er!" Xiao Yue 'er replied.
"Little Yue 'er, this name is interesting!”As Liu Hao spoke, he lifted the curtains and saw two handsome young masters in men's clothes.
"Xin Er, I think this Lord Liu seems to be different from Lord Liang. This Lord Liang seems to be very afraid of him!”Meng 'er glanced at Xin' er beside her.""Why don't we ask Lord Liu for help?”
Xin 'er was slightly taken aback before she could not help but say,""But, can Lord Liu help?”
"In short, we have to give it a try no matter what!”"If he can help us, it'll be easier for us to deal with him!" Meng 'er said quickly.”
Meng 'er gritted her teeth and rushed to Liu Hao's palanquin.""Lord Liu, this little girl Meng 'er has a request!”
Liu Hao's sedan stopped again.
He was still thinking about how he should get to know Meng 'er, but now that she came to him directly, he didn't have to bother to get close to them.
"What's the matter?" Liu Hao said indifferently from within the sedan chair.
"Lord Liu, I have something to tell you!”Meng 'er took a few steps forward, and a few porters hurriedly blocked her way.
"Retreat!" Liu Hao waved his hand.
The sedan bearers retreated. Then, Liu Hao saw Meng 'er. He had to admit that she was quite beautiful. She had a hint of a Jiangnan woman.
She said that she came from Daming Lake. Based on Liu Hao's judgment, Daming Lake probably could not give birth to such a gentle woman.
Of course, it wasn't bad.
However, since she had delivered herself to him, Liu Hao naturally wouldn't miss it.
Meng 'er came to Liu Hao with the calligraphy and painting.""Lord Liu, it's not convenient to talk here. Can we talk in private?”
Liu Hao narrowed his eyes and carefully sized Meng 'er up. Then, he said,""This official still has to go to the Imperial Academy to check the time. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait for me at my Liu residence. Sun He, after this old master is on duty, arrange for them to go to the Liu residence!”
"Alright!" Sun He hurriedly nodded.
Liu Hao narrowed his eyes slightly and said indifferently,""The same goes for the girl in the sedan chair!”
After that, Liu Hao entered the Imperial Academy and paid his respects to He Shen.
In fact, although Liu Hao was a scholar in the Imperial Academy, he actually had many things to do. His main responsibilities were to write the history of the country, record the emperor's words and deeds, study the history of the classics, and draft the manuscripts related to the ceremony.
In Liu Hao's opinion, these things were purely for nothing.
He was here to be an official, not to do such boring things.
He was not the only scholar in the Hanlin Academy. There were more than a dozen of them. Entering the Hanlin Academy was actually to serve the Emperor. However, Liu Hao was also a military officer.
He only needed to report to the Imperial Academy once a month. As for the rest of the time, Liu Hao was helping Lord He handle state affairs.
When he arrived at the Military and Political Affairs Office, Liu Hao casually looked through some memorials.
In the forty-fifth year of Qianlong, there was actually no major event. The biggest event was probably Qianlong's southern tour. However, Qianlong's southern tour had already ended.
There really wasn't much left to do.
"Hao 'er!" After casually reading a few memorials, Liu Hao heard He Shen's voice.
Liu Hao turned his head slightly and saw He Shen walking in with a red face.
"Lord He, is there any good news?”Liu Hao came up and said with a smile.
"I was chatting with Lord Wansui in the study just now!”He Shen cupped his hands in Qianlong's direction and said with a smile,""When Lord Wansui saw the 20,000 taels of silver, he was very happy. Hao 'Er, you did well. Lord Wansui said that your method is feasible and worth imitating.”
At this point, He Shen patted Liu Hao's shoulder,"You really did me proud!"
"Thank you for your nurturing, Lord He!" Liu Hao smiled slightly. He had been an official for less than a month. If he was promoted, he would be able to rise from Rank-6 to Rank-6.
It was unrealistic to level up three times in a row.
It was impossible for him to be promoted to a first-grade official so quickly like in television dramas.
If he could take it step by step and strive to be released, it would be good to have a Rank-4 magistrate.
After hesitating for a moment, he slowly opened his mouth and said,"Sir He, do you have time tonight?”
"Of course!" He Shen nodded.
Liu Hao smiled and quickly said,"Milord He, tonight, I have another big gift for you!”
"Hao 'er, there's no need to be so polite with our relationship!”He Shen now really treated Liu Hao as one of his own, so he naturally wouldn't care if Liu Hao gave him a gift or not.
If he gave himself more than 20,000 taels of silver every month, he might even reach 100,000 taels of silver in the future.
How would He Shen be unhappy?
In the past, it was already pretty good to have twenty to thirty thousand taels of silver a year.
Liu Hao smiled and said," Don't worry, Lord He. This gift of mine will definitely not disappoint you!"”
"Good, good, good!" He Shen quickly nodded,"Since that's the case, I'll wait and see!"”
