The second watch, ask for pink. There will be three more pink powers.

……

"Brother Ziqian, be cautious." Second Master Ji glanced at Xie Zhixian and said hurriedly.

"What, Brother Wen Min thinks what I said is wrong?" Xie Zhixian looked at Second Master Ji in surprise, "I thought I was a confidant with Brother Wen Min, did Brother Wen Min also become a ......?"

Second Master Ji hurriedly waved his hand and stopped Xie Zhixian's words.

"Brother Ziqian, I hate buying and selling officials as much as Brother Ziqian. It's just that we talk like this, but it doesn't help. ”

"Hey." Xie Zhixian sighed, "Brother Wen Min, forgive me, I was also angry for a moment to say such a thing." Brother Wen Min saw what he taught. Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me ask me what I want! Ay! ”

Xie Zhixian let out another long sigh. He has always been self-controlled, and his speech and demeanor are quite urban, but he has been friends with Second Master Ji for many years, and when he gets along with Second Master Ji in private, he will occasionally show such a side.

The two talked about the government and the disadvantages of the times, and they had the same views on many things.

"Look at what is said in this document, what the emperor's grace is vast and Ze is born, in fact, it is just that the court is short of money, and those corrupt officials also want to make money. I don't know which one plucked his head, but it really worked. Perhaps affected by the calm attitude of the second master of Ji, after Xie Zhixian was excited, he also calmed down, and said earnestly to the second master of Ji.

“…… They all persuaded me to make a comeback, but I see that the current situation in the court is ......, and it is better to be idle at home. I had an immortal life, and I devoted myself to teaching him to read in the future. It's also a family fun. Second Master Ji said.

"How could Brother Wen Min say such a mourning word!" Xie Zhixian was busy dissuading Second Master Ji, "If today, just as my generation is trying its best to help." Brother Wen Min must not steal peace. This is also contrary to Brother Wen Min's long-cherished wish. ”

When the two first met, they were both teenagers, and their common wish was self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world.

Now that the second master Ji actually revealed that he wanted to completely fade out of his career, Xie Zhixian was of course surprised, and he refused to agree. After being persuaded by Xie Zhixian for a while, Second Master Ji didn't say anything about his reluctance.

The two talked about the government again, and talked about the one on the dragon chair.

"It's hard to say now, the harem is in power. The one on the dragon chair was only focused on eating, drinking, and having fun. The harem was just at the beginning, but now it is gradually ......"

The two men spoke in lower voices.

In the end, the topic returned to the document in the hands of Master Ji.

"Brother Yi Wenmin. What should I do in Qingyuan? Xie Zhixian asked Second Master Ji.

"The situation is like this, Brother Ziqian is acting cheaply." Second Master Ji said, he didn't want to influence Xie Zhixian's approach in this matter of government affairs.

"How else can I act cheaply, I'm afraid I can only follow it. It's just that. Although I have been in Qingyuan for a few years. It's still not as good as Brother Wen Min living here. Although it is an errand, this person should not be chosen without caution. ”

"Please also pay more attention to Brother Wen Min, the people recommended by Brother Wen Min, I am 10,000 relieved." Xie Zhixian saw that Second Master Ji was still going to shirk, so he hurriedly said again, "This is also Brother Wen Min's worries for me, don't shirk." ”

"Well, I'll be mindful. Just this thing. Brother Ziqian still needs to make a decision, and don't care too much about me. Second Master Ji said.

The three members of the Xie family have been in the Ji family for a long time. After the feast, he left. Before leaving, Mrs. Xie asked Ji Xiaotang about his birthday again, saying that the family would come at that time.

Of course, Mrs. Ji agreed.

Ji Xiaotang's birthday is on the tenth day of the seventh month.

Xie Huaijin saluted Second Master Ji again, only saying that he would trouble Second Master Ji, and he wanted to come to ask for advice about learning and going to the exam. Second Master Ji also nodded in agreement.

After sending away a few members of the Xie family, Second Master Ji sat in Mrs. Ji's house and frowned.

Ji Xiaotang was playing with Changsheng, and when he saw that Second Master Ji was frowning, he walked over with Changsheng in his arms. Changsheng stretched out his chubby little hand and screamed in his mouth.

Changsheng's little chubby hand fell on Ji Er's body, and Ji Er's master didn't even notice it.

Changsheng felt snubbed, and his mouth screamed even louder.

"Daddy, Changsheng is calling you." Ji Xiaotang could only remind him out loud.

Second Master Ji came back to his senses at this time, he held Changsheng's little hand, pinched it gently, and put it down again.

Ji Xiaotang immediately sensed that something was wrong. Second Master Ji has something important on his mind, and he can't even take care of Changsheng.

"Daddy, but what are you embarrassed?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

Second Master Ji raised his head and glanced at Ji Xiaotang deeply.

"Give your brother to your mother first, and you call your uncle to come to the library pavilion." As he spoke, Second Master Ji went to the library first.

Ji Xiaotang handed over the immortal life to Mrs. Ji, went to the courtyard of Master Ji San, called Master Ji San, and came to the library together.

In the library pavilion, Master Ji Er sat behind the bookcase, frowning, as if he was thinking about something very troublesome.

"Second brother, what do you want to discuss with me?" Master Ji San asked.

Second Master Ji asked Third Master Ji and Ji Xiaotang to sit down, thinking about how to speak. Although he occasionally talked about some things, he never officially explained them to his uncle and nephew.

Now, Second Master Ji felt that it was time for Third Master Ji and Ji Xiaotang to know more things.

"I used to think you were too young to worry about that. Now that you can all be in charge of your own affairs, it is good to know more about these things. "Second Master Ji roughly explained the situation in the current court.

Ji Xiaotang is okay, Master Ji San has never paid attention to this, so what he heard was both novelty and accident.

"Second brother is planning to make me an official?" Master Ji San asked.

"I don't think so. But if you think for yourself, I'll think of it for you. Second Master Ji said. As long as Master Ji San has passed the township examination, he does not need to participate in the examination, and he can spend money to make up for the official.

"Second brother, I don't plan to be an official." Master Ji San is very straightforward.

He already had a vague idea in his heart, but he was not yet mature, so he didn't want to say it for the time being.

"It's okay not to be an official, it's always good to know this. So is Xiaotang. Second Master Ji said, "I'm telling you this today because of one thing. ”

Master Ji Er took Xie Zhixian to the documents issued above.

To put it simply, the imperial court arranged some vacancy for each prefecture and county, and there was no need to be born in the imperial examination, as long as a certain amount of gold and silver was donated, the vacancy could be filled, and from then on from a white body to an official body.

Qingyuan County now has two such shortcomings.

"Your Uncle Xie sued me, saying that this matter is not intended to be announced, so let me pay attention to the candidates for him." Second Master Ji said.

This almost handed over the power to arrange people to fill vacancies to Master Ji Er.

Xie Zhixian has such faith in Master Ji Er.

However, Ji Xiaotang quickly thought of another layer.

"Jiang Qingshan wants to give me a big gift, I'm still guessing what he wants to ask for, is this the matter?" Ji Xiaotang asked. Of course she knew that this was the case, but she couldn't help but ask.

This question is for Master Ji Er.

"He once revealed in front of me that he was a white body, not enough to glorify his ancestors." Second Master Ji frowned, "It's just that your Uncle Xie only sued me today." How could Jiang Qingshan know in advance? ”

"Could it be that Jiang Qingshan has eyeliner in the mansion to inform him of the news?" Master Ji San asked.

The yamen of Ren'an Mansion naturally received the document earlier than Qingyuan County.

"As far as I know, Jiang Qingshan's hand can't reach that far." Second Master Ji said, "And this matter, Xie Ziqian refuses to make it public." I think the same thing is true for the prefect. ”

Master Ji San thought about it and nodded.

"Daddy, can you see the date on the paperwork?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

Naturally, she asked not the date when the document was issued, but the date when the Qingyuan County Ya received the document. Whenever the above documents are received, the county government will have a special person in charge, and it will be branded with fire paint, and the date of receipt of the documents will definitely be marked on it.

Of course, this fire paint imprint is on the cover of the document.

"Your Uncle Xie only brought paperwork." Second Master Ji quite understood what Ji Xiaotang was asking.

"That's right." Ji Xiaotang and Second Master Ji exchanged glances.

"Second brother, Xiaotang, what's the matter I don't know?" When Master Ji San saw it, he asked.

Second Master Ji thought for a while, and then nodded to Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang explained to Master Ji San.

"Are you suspicious that Jiang Qingshan first learned the news from Brother Xie?" Master Ji San was a little stunned.

"It's just a possibility, and it hasn't been implemented yet." Second Master Ji said, "And watch carefully." ”

Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San both nodded.

"So what now?" Master Ji San asked.

"Daddy doesn't want to take care of this?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"I don't want to care." Ji Er said. He will not ask for this lack for Jiang Qingshan, and he will not pay attention to this matter. Xie Zhixian said modestly, but it was extremely easy to select two wealthy and appropriate people from the county to fill the vacancy.

"Daddy, you still have to take care of my construction." Ji Xiaotang said, "No matter what, these two shortcomings can't fall on Jiang Qingshan's head." ”

Two can donate money to make up for the shortage, one of them is just that, and the other is a warden of the yamen, although it is said to be idle, but it is obtained by people who have the means, but they can do a lot of tricks.

In his previous life, Jiang Qingshan had this shortcoming, and he gained a lot of strength when he framed the Ji family.

"Since Uncle Xie entrusted it to Daddy, we might as well push the boat with the water. Instead of giving people with intentions a chance to make trouble, it is better for Daddy to choose the right person. Ji Xiaotang said.

Second Master Ji looked at Ji Xiaotang and didn't speak for a long time.

"Daddy thinks it's inappropriate?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"Nope." Second Master Ji shook his head, and then his brows slowly relaxed, "Xiaotang, do you have a suitable candidate in mind?" ”

"Yes." Ji Xiaotang nodded immediately, "If Jiang Qingshan is lacking, I'm afraid that this is also what he wants to seek." Not only do we not give him this shortfall, but we also have to arrange his opponent to fill this shortage. Daddy, do you remember Xie An? (To be continued......)
