Chapter 176: Appointment
Gyeonggi is under the jurisdiction of Hongxing County.
Uncle Liu originally wanted to plan a position for his nephew in the Hanlin Academy, and Hanlin could become the emperor's confidant and minister, and he could also do some clerical work in compiling books.
Although the uncle of the Liu family cares about his nephew, after all, he doesn't know much about Liu Yao's situation when he is outside all the year round. I heard my younger brother say that his nephew has a soft temperament, and he has been held in the palm of his hand by the family since he was a child, and he has never even touched the squeeze between his concubines. Such a blank nephew is really not suitable for the officialdom of intrigue, so the uncle of the Liu family thought about letting his nephew go to Hanlin Academy, commute to and from work on time, and have a good reputation. The most important thing is to be close to home, when the mother brings all the younger brothers and nephews to live in the house, they can also be reunited as a family.
But then something went wrong in the middle, and Hanlin's quota was cut off. The uncle of the Liu family really had no choice, so he left the relationship and transferred his nephew to Hongxing County, not far from Kyoto.
"How is this a small county order? Where is Hongxing County? If it's too offended, we won't go! ”
Mrs. Liu was unhappy when she heard that it was a small county, for fear that her grandson would suffer after being assigned to a barren land.
Second Master Liu carefully read the eldest brother's letter and handed it to Liu Yao, and answered his mother's question with a happy face, "Hongxing County is just east of Kyoto, and you can get to Kyoto in an hour by carriage." When the time comes, my mother will go with me, and I can see my eldest brother more! ”
Hearing that it was so close to Kyoto, the old lady was immediately satisfied, and praised with a smile: "Good! It's a good place, and we'll still live together as a family. ”
Liu Yao also smiled and nodded after reading the letter. Tanhualang in this exam is really an unexpected surprise, what does the county order need to do? How? He didn't know anything about it. Follow the uncle. Having an uncle mention it also made Liu Yao more confident.
Du Xiaoxi stood beside Liu Yao and read the letter and was a little confused, he forgot about this stubble when he got married a few days ago.
If Liu Yao goes out to be an official, she will also follow!
However, what about the father and brother in the family?
Du Xiaoxi was reluctant, the uncle of the Liu family couldn't come back for a few years after being an official abroad, and Du Xiaoxi didn't want to see his family in the future. But as long as Liu Yao takes the official career, she must walk out of the small Shanshui County, and she can only leave.
Du Xiaoxi felt sad in her heart.
Night.
Du Xiaoxi lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, Liu Yao sighed, took Du Xiaoxi into his arms, patted him lightly on the back, and coaxed softly: "Sleep." ”
Du Xiaoxi leaned on Liu Yao's center for a while, and muttered, "Will you come back in the future?" ”
The Liu family is an outsider. The roots are not in Shanshui County. Listening to Second Master Liu's meaning, this time the masters of the family followed Liu Yao, and it is unknown whether they will come back in the future.
Liu Yao paused, and finally said: "I don't know, my father and grandma must live with us." Most of the family's property is here. Will be back in the future. ”
Du Xiaoxi couldn't help but snort twice. Stop talking.
In March, Liu Yao will go to the yamen to take up his post. The second master of Liu, who was unfamiliar with the place, decided to leave immediately, and went over to discuss the affairs of Hongxing County with the uncle of the Liu family earlier.
The next day, the old lady energetically instructed her subordinates to pack up their things. Du Xiaoxi and Liu Yao took two carts of things back to their parents' house.
The Lantern Festival has not yet arrived, the shop has not opened, and Daddy Du is taking his sons to enjoy a rare leisure at home, watching his daughter and son-in-law suddenly come over and walk out with a puzzled face.
I just came back from the second year of junior high school, why did I come again? Brought some old stuff with you?
Du Xiaoxi pursed her lips and got out of the car, and the whole family knew that she was unhappy when she saw her expression.
Daddy Du immediately blew up, "What's going on?" Did their Liu family bully you? What do you have to tell your dad that dad is in charge of you! ”
Brother Du also took his younger brothers to glare at Liu Yao angrily, as if he had really done something unforgivable.
Feeling the care of his family, Du Xiaoxi's eyes immediately turned red, and he pulled Daddy Du and said again and again: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
After entering the house and making it clear what they meant, the Du family was happy and worried.
The girl is going to be the wife of the official family, they are happy, but this is too far away from home, if the girl is bullied, they don't know.
Seeing his daughter's reluctant appearance, Daddy Du was even more distressed, glared at Liu Yao fiercely, and began to muttered in his heart that the unreliable master of joy really shouldn't have married his daughter to an outsider in the first place! Now that they are leaving, they still have to take their daughters with them, and he really has no place to cry!
"The girl doesn't cry, it's okay, isn't she going to Kyoto? I haven't been to your father yet, I heard that it's good there, and my father will take your mother and them to see you on a boat in the future! Let's go secretly and see if the people of the Liu family really treat you well! ”
Liu Yao nodded busily beside him.
"Dad is right, there is a fleet at home, when you and your uncles want to go, just say hello and get on the boat, and you will be there soon."
Even if Liu Yao repeatedly assured that he would treat Du Xiaoxi well, everyone in the Du family still couldn't hide their worries on their faces.
Daddy Du sighed and asked, "When will you leave?" ”
"The day after tomorrow."
"What? What time do you say? ”
"The day after tomorrow."
"The day after tomorrow! You're going to leave the day after tomorrow, why don't you say it sooner! ”
Daddy Du roared and began to turn around in a hurry.
"Damn, how much miso is left in the house? The girl loves to eat this, bring it to her! ”
"Is there any sauerkraut made by my mother? Scoop up half a tank for the girl! ”
"Gorou's daughter-in-law, didn't you say that you made clothes for the girl? Okay, okay? ”
"Da Lang went to see if there were any pumpkins in the cellar? Bring it all! ”
“……”
Daddy Du stood in the yard and pointed out the country, looking like he was going to take the whole family away from his daughter.
Du Xiaoxi looked at his brother and sister-in-law who were being commanded by Daddy Du with red eyes, and laughed out with tears in her eyes.
With so many lovely family members, what's so scary about getting lost on the road?
Liu Erye felt a little shameless in the face of Daddy Du, as soon as his daughter married into the door, his son was abducted thousands of miles away, and Liu Erye, who felt a little short of breath, asked people to pull two carts of things to send to his in-laws, but Daddy Du gave back most of the car. This feeling is slightly aggrieved.
asked about the departure time the day after tomorrow, and said that the Du family would send it at that time, so Liu Yao took Liu Yao to his home.
All the masters of the Liu family had to follow, even Du Xiaoxi's mother-in-law and sister-in-law, who rarely showed up. Although the people of the He family got the news and begged Second Lady Liu not to leave, after all, as long as Second Lady Liu was in hand, the other masters of the Liu family were also gone, and they didn't want anything! No one answered the wishful thinking of the He family, and the second lady Liu wanted to follow her son to enjoy happiness and become the wife of the official family, so she was naturally unwilling to stay in the small place of Shanshui County. In the end, everyone in the He family could only go home with a few hairpins rewarded by Mrs. Liu.
Bidding farewell to their reluctant family, Du Xiaoxi and the Liu family went to Kyoto, but this time, they probably won't come back for a long time!
