The newly rented yard was cleaned up, and Jiang Zonghai even sent someone to Anwen Town to buy a lot of living utensils, but Han Xiufeng waited left and right, but did not wait for his wife and children, nor did he wait for the family members of Chen Hu and others, but waited for his father-in-law and Liu Shanyang, the head of Jiangbei Hall.

After sitting down and chatting for a while, I realized that Chen Hu's daughter-in-law Hong'er had just helped Chen Hu give birth to a big fat boy, and Ge Erxiao's daughter-in-law also helped Ge Erxiao give birth to a daughter.

After talking about family affairs, Duan Jiqing said excitedly: "Zhixing, with you sitting here, people in the city are no longer panicked." A few days ago, the emperor gave the Sichuan Governor Wanfu Batulu Yong, who went to Guizhou to quell the chaos, but no one took it seriously when it came to Ba County, saying that he was just Batulu, you are Segu Batulu, how can the brave number he was given have the majesty of your brave number! ”

Han Xiufeng couldn't help but smile and said: "The Yong is actually the same, there is no distinction between superior and inferior. The reason why Wantitai is just Baturu is that there is no martial bravery, brave martial arts or color solid in front, and nine times out of ten is that the emperor has rewarded too much in the past two years, and those exclusive brave numbers have been used up. ”

"No matter what the reason, anyway, his Baturu is not as majestic as your Baturu." Liu Shanyang couldn't help laughing.

"It's okay to talk about it in private, but it can't reach the ears of Wan Titai, otherwise he won't be happy."

"Don't worry, he is far away in Guizhou, how can he know about Ba County!" Duan Jiqing smiled, and then said: "You sit in the Sheep's Horn Camp to handle the blockade, which is not only to ensure the safety of Qijiang but also to Baoba County. Sun Wuye said that the fathers and elders of the county owe you favors, and they all have to think of you, and he even plans to go to Tsz Yun Mountain to live for two or three months after a while. ”

"What did he do at Tsz Yun Temple?" Han Xiufeng asked subconsciously.

"Go to Tsz Yun Academy to teach!"

"He went to coach in person, and this person owes a lot of favor."

Without waiting for Duan Jiqing to speak, Liu Shanyang smiled and said: "He also said that he owes you a favor, and besides, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there is no way to stay in the city, how cool Ciyun Mountain is, he is not so much going to teach, but going to escape the summer." ”

"It's cooler in the mountains than in the city." Han Xiufeng nodded slightly, thought about it and asked, "I heard that Lord Huang entered Sichuan from Hunan and passed by Ba County, have you seen it?" ”

"We went to Chaotianmen to greet us, but there were too many people that day, and we didn't see anyone for a long time." Duan Jiqing thought for a while, and then said: "This Lord Huang is different from the previous generations, he only stayed in the Provincial Administration for one night, met with the professors of Xiafutai, Zhentai and Fuxue, and the county school, and left for Chengdu early the next morning. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Shanyang asked puzzledly: "Zhixing, it is said that Lord Zhitai sent someone to inspect you before leaving, didn't you see that person?" ”

"I saw the person, surnamed Li, called Li Yanggu, I only stayed here for one night, and the next morning I went to Songkan with Yongzhuang, who changed guards. However, after arriving in Songkan, he did not come back from the original way, but asked Master Huang to help hire two boats and go from the Songkan River to the Qijiang River, saying that he wanted to see with his own eyes whether the grain and salary of my Sichuan Xieji Guizhou were good or not to be transported by water. ”

"I don't think it's as simple as he says." Liu Shanyang said in a low voice.

"Shizhen, what do you mean by that?"

"It is said that many students went to Xuetai to file a complaint, and Xuetai went to the school to file a lawsuit, impeaching Zhentai and some local officials for delaying the lawsuit and humiliating the students. It is rumored that Huang Zhitai is being investigated by order, and it is said that many people have been sent to make private interviews on Weifu. Looking at Han Xiufeng's thoughtful appearance, Liu Shanyang said in a low voice: "Du Xingyuan has been sitting on pins and needles for the past few days, and he just went to Jiangbei to meet Master Duan before we came. ”

"Shi Zhen said that I remembered that the master of Taiwan didn't even see Xiangqing when he passed by Ba County, but instead summoned professors and teachings, and even summoned Qian Houde before leaving, so it can be seen that even if the emperor did not issue an order for him to investigate, he should have heard some rumors on the way to his post."

"It's good to check and check, but some magistrates are getting more and more unpresentable."

As soon as Han Xiufeng's words fell, Second Master Fei, who was supposed to be sitting in the camp office, walked in with a basket of melons, and Duan Jiqing and Liu Shanyang hurriedly got up to give up their seats.

Second Master Fei put down the basket and sat down with a smile: "Just a few words, I have to go back later." ”

"Second master, what's the matter?"

"Zhang Zhidong Nawa has come back from Songkan, is packing her luggage, and plans to leave for Chengdu early tomorrow morning. I was going to come and say goodbye to you, but when I heard that you had a guest here, I asked me to bring this basket of melons. ”

The reason why Zhang Zhidong also went to Songkan with the brave man who changed guards a few days ago was not because of anything else, but because he didn't feel at ease when he didn't see the Jizo group set off with the caravan to serve under his father Zhang Ying, and now that the caravan has set off, there is nothing to do with the Sheep's Horn Camp, so he naturally has no need to continue to stay here.

Han Xiufeng weighed it, raised his head and said, "Second master, please help me write a letter of recommendation, and ask him to meet Xia Xiang after arriving in the capital." ”

Second Master Fei subconsciously asked: "It's easy to write a letter, is it appropriate to just recommend him to Wenxiang?" ”

"He is full of wealth, and the article is done well, but after all, he is too young and too smooth, if he can be named on the gold list, it will be good, but what if he is named Sun Shan? The capital is not as good as Guizhou, and his father, father-in-law and his teacher can have a few friends in the capital, and even if they do, they can accomplish anything, so we have to take precautions to help him think of a way back. ”

"That being said, if you can recommend him to Wenxiang, it's really better to recommend him to Lord Sushun."

"There is no shortage of people on Lord Sushun's side, but Wenxiang's side is different, not only is there a shortage of people, but there is also a lack of orthodox scholars like Zhang Zhidong."

Thinking that what "Houyitang" needed most was Shilin's approval, Second Master Fei couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, I'll go and help him write." ”

Referring to next year's examination, Liu Shanyang said with an embarrassed face: "Zhixing, I don't plan to take the exam again, people are valuable in self-knowledge, even if you go to nine times out of ten, you won't be able to get in." ”

Han Xiufeng couldn't help but ask: "Even if you can't win the exam again, you can participate in the big challenge, why don't you go, are you worried about entanglement?" ”

"It's a trivial matter to entangle, the capital is so far away, I really don't want to toss anymore."

"You can't give up on such a big thing easily, you think about it again, think about it before you make a decision."

"I've already figured it out."

"If you don't go, you won't go, it's not easy to be lifted, and there are only a few people in the entire Jiangbei Hall." How could Duan Jiqing not know what Liu Shanyang thought, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Zhixing, or you look at arranging an errand for Shi Zhen and let Shi Zhen work for you, who is not used, it is really better to use outsiders than to use yourself." ”

"Dad, I'm worried that I've delayed Shizhen's future."

"Zhixing, there's really nothing to delay, if you really go to the exam, it will be a waste of time," Liu Shanyang said eagerly.

Han Xiufeng saw that he had made up his mind, so he could only agree: "Okay, then you will stay in the camp and familiarize yourself with the camp affairs in the camp office first." ”

"Thank you."

"Myself, what's there to thank you for."

As he spoke, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

As soon as everyone turned around, they saw Chen Bu panic leading Zhang Er, a family member from Qijiang Zhixian County, in, and there were two shop soldiers behind them, carrying a box specially used for a question book, and a seal was attached to the box.

"Master Han, this is an official document sent by the military aircraft department, it is six hundred miles to expedite, my lord does not dare to delay, as soon as he receives the official document and this box, let the small one send it to you quickly, please sign for it."

Han Xiufeng felt very strange, thinking that the Military Aircraft Department would send an official document to him, a registered prefect who was worried in the township, and hurriedly got up and took the envelope and opened it.

I didn't know if I didn't see it, but I was surprised that there was an emperor's edict and a list inside.

After reading the edict, Han Xiufeng motioned to Chen Bu to open the box, asked the old man and Second Master Fei to take out the exquisite knives, purses, and fire sickles in the box, count them one by one on the list, and then check the survey issued by the Ministry of War in advance and the leather box used to present the secret fold.

Confirming that there are also a lot, Fei Er Ye said excitedly: "The assistant to the group practice of the first government has become the group practice of supervising the entire East Sichuan Province, which can not only be rewarded on behalf of the emperor, but also have a fold guarantee and a secret fold special performance." Zhixing, the emperor has not forgotten you, otherwise he would not have given this great grace and great honor! ”

Duan Jiqing was even more excited than Second Master Fei, looking at the dazzling things on the table of the Eight Immortals, and asked in a trembling tone: "Zhixing, do you want to put up the incense case first?" ”

"This is not a reward for me, but the emperor ordered me to reward the regimental integrity, prison correction and courage who contributed to the blockade. Put it away first, put it away first. Han Xiufeng took the pen handed by Liu Shanyang and said with a smile while filling in the receipt: "Zhang Er, don't rush back first, I have to ask the emperor to fold it, how can you write this fold carefully, and you can help me bring it back when it is written." ”

Zhang Er thought that what the old man said before was not wrong at all, this real Jane in front of him was in the emperor's heart, and he could really reach the heavens, so he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The little one obeys the order, and the little one is not in a hurry." ”

Second Master Fei helped collect the things rewarded by the emperor, and couldn't help but smile: "Zhixing, is it time to change this flag, I think not only must it be changed, but it also has to be made a few more times, and it can't be as simple as before." ”

"How?"

"How do you have to make three sides, make a flag, embroider a big 'Han' character, and then make a few rank flags, 'Ordered to supervise the regimental training in eastern Sichuan', 'Qin Ci Segu Batulu', 'Reward from the top belt of the four products', 'Registered prefect', as long as there are all done."

Thinking that the bigger the boss's official work, the more morale the brave and strong people have, Han Xiufeng smiled: "Okay, you always look at it." ”

The edict is clearly written, Han Xiufeng has the right to protect the people who contribute to the blockade, Liu Shanyang strengthened his determination to serve in the Sheephorn Battalion, and couldn't help but say: "Zhixing, why don't you let me go to Songkan to serve, it's not interesting to be on the Sheephorn side." ”

How could Han Xiufeng not know that he wanted to make a contribution, so he agreed: "Okay, before you go over, you have to help in the camp office for half a month, and then go over after you are familiar with the situation." ”
