There are a lot of official affairs in the military room of the government office, but there are also many scribes who take the silver and the scribes who do not take the silver for the work, and Zhou Huishan does not need to do everything himself, as long as the official documents sent by the chief of the Futai in the morning or the official affairs assigned by the chief of the Futai are distributed, and the subordinates are done to collect it and check it, confirm that it is correct, and then stamp the seal of the military room and hand it to the chief of the Futai Lord.

Today's official documents to be transcribed and the official affairs to be done are all explained, and the Futai has just been called to the Provincial Department, Zhou Huishan does not want to sit in the official room, and is about to go to the Longmen array with the other rooms of the economic undertaking for a while, a catcher of the county government sneaked in familiarly, and grinned when he saw him: "Congratulations to Zhou Jingcheng, congratulations to Zhou Jingcheng, the little one has come to report the good news to you!" ”

"Good news, what good news?"

"There's a letter from the capital, Duan Jingcheng and Guan Bantou are invited!"

Zhou Huishan reacted, grabbed the catch and asked, "Changchun sent a letter home?" ”

"The letter is here, Wang Jingcheng has already passed, Duan Jingcheng and Guan Bantou are waiting for you," the probe glanced at the direction of the lobby, and said proudly: "You have to hurry, Duan Jingcheng and Liu Juren estimate that the Daotai, Futai and the county master will also go later." ”

"Where?"

"Go to the fourth baby's house, where else can you go besides going to the fourth baby's house?"

Zhou Hui was confused, and asked in a low voice as he walked out, "Is Han Si promoted again?" ”

"I was promoted, I didn't hear clearly how big and small the official was, anyway, I was promoted, even Lord Duan asked Master Duan to send a congratulatory gift early this morning, Duan Jingcheng and Liu Juren are accompanying Master Duan to have tea at this time."

Even Lord Duan, who had returned to his hometown after complaining about his illness, asked Duan Xiaoshan to send a congratulatory gift, and Zhou Huishan realized that Han Si had really been promoted, and this official would not be small, so he hurriedly accelerated his pace.

Han Si's new home in Ba County is not far from the Provincial Bureau, the government office, and the county government, and it will arrive after a while, Zhou Huishan walked into the courtyard to take a look, and saw that the county government punishment room was smiling from ear to ear, and he said to Duan Jiqing and Duan Xiaoshan that they were all the blessings of Lord Duan, and they were all the light of Zhixing!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late, I'll let you wait for a long time, and I'll make amends to you."

"Reparations?" Without waiting for Duan Jiqing to speak, Liu Shanyang pointed at him and said with a smile: "Zhou Jingcheng, today is different from the past, you can't make amends!" ”

"What Brother Shi Zhen said is extremely true," Duan Xiaoshan took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Zhou Jingcheng, don't say that you didn't come late, even if you arrive early, you have to set up the wine." I have to go to Wangjiang Tower, and I have to set up three or five tables to sit on the table! ”

"Young Master Duan, you look down on me too much, is that place in Wangjiang Tower that I can go to Zhou Huishan?"

"Lao Zhou, don't pretend to be poor today!" Duan Jiqing picked up the letter in his hand, looked at him with a smile and said: "This is the letter from his nephew Changchun Tuo Ri Shengchang, he is now out of the house, no longer the secretary of the patrol camp, but the acting inspection of Xiangshan, Guangdong." At the beginning of last month, I was appointed on the eighth basis, and I estimated that I had already arrived at this time. ”

Zhou Huishan couldn't believe that this was true, and took the letter and asked suspiciously: "Brother Duan, you're not joking, are you?" ”

"What did I lie to you, I don't believe it." Duan Jiqing smiled, and said sideways: "The third noble student in the mountain family has also come out, acting for the inspection of Guangdong Xin'an, and will go to the post with your parent Chun." Therefore you have to set up this banquet, and you have to set it up like a mountain. ”

Wang Zaishan was a big man in the Yamen, looking forward to the stars and the moon was looking forward to such a day, so he couldn't help but get up and smile: "Everyone, my Wang Zaishan not only wants to set up wine, but also has to quickly quit the Yamen's errand." It is not easy for my Wang family to be an official of the imperial court, I can't drag the three babies back, and I can't live up to the good intentions of Zhixing's virtuous nephew. ”

"My mother, Changchun is really a Shangguan, he ...... It has only been a few days since he went to Zhili to defect to Zhixing, and this official came too easily, it was like a dream. Zhou Huizhi looked at the letter and spoke incoherently with excitement.

Duan Xiaoshan thought to himself, isn't it just a nine-grade inspection, as for being excited like this, but he still smiled: "If you are someone else, it is really not so easy to be an official." But it's different if you have the ambition to carry out, I think Ling Nephew is now acting, and next year here will be the actual teaching, and in another three or five years, maybe he can still be the county master! ”

"Young Master Xie Duan Jiyan, hey, it's really a blessing to Zhixing! By the way, has Zhixing also been promoted? ”

Duan Jiqing had never been so excited, and while beckoning him to sit down for tea, he said lightly: "Zhixing is not promoted to an official, but he has changed his errand, he no longer leads the troops, and he is no longer a Tongzhi on the south bank of the Yongding River, and he has been transferred to Beijing to be a Beijing official." ”

"Jingguan?"

"The general envoy is sensitive, that is...... It is the yamen that is in charge of 'Beijing control' and the people beating drums and sounding grievances against the emperor. ”

"My God, Zhixing has been transferred to the political secretary, isn't this a promotion, what is called a promotion?"

"It was originally the fifth grade, and now it is still the fifth grade, but it has changed from a foreign official to a Beijing official."

The more Duan Jiqing pretended to be nothing, the more Liu Shanyang felt funny, and couldn't help but take over the conversation: "The General Administration Department is not only in charge of the people's lawsuits, but also the question books of the provinces must be handed over to the General Political Department, and then handed over to the cabinet after being reviewed by the General Political Department." What's more, Zhixing is now not only a counselor of the General Administration Department, but also a military aircraft Zhang Jing and an extra walk on the military aircraft Zhang Jing! ”

Guan Bantou and Wang Jingcheng have been working in the county government, and the biggest yamen they have dealt with is the Provincial Bureau, and they are not very clear about the affairs in the capital, especially in the court.

Zhou Huishan, who had been on an errand in the government office, knew very well what the military aircraft Zhang Jing was doing, and was suddenly taken aback: "Master Liu, you are saying that Zhixing has become a 'little military aircraft'!" ”

"Otherwise, your parent can become an official so quickly, and you can fill the gap so quickly?" Liu Shanyang looked at him with a smile and asked rhetorically.

Zhou Huishan relieved himself, hurriedly got up and said, "Congratulations, this is the real joy!" ”

"Sit, sit down, there are no outsiders here." Duan Jiqing beckoned him to sit down, picked up another letter in his hand again, and looked around at everyone with emotion: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, when I married the little girl to Zhixing, I just felt that Zhixing was a competitive person, and he would definitely have a future in the future, where would I have thought that he could have today and be a 'little military machine'!" ”

"Yes, my father also lamented last night that Zhixing's official luck is not one or two points good, not only is the official luck prosperous, but also the love and righteousness."

"Young Master Duan, what do you mean by this?"

After his father returned to his hometown after illness, Wang Naizeng, a friend who had been with him for ten years, returned to the capital. Zhixing saw that Mr. Wang was not doing well, so he hired Mr. Wang as a friend. Therefore, my father not only received a letter from Zhixing, but also a letter from Mr. Wang. My father was very relieved to confirm that Mr. Wang did not have to worry about his livelihood in the future. ”

"Zhixing can have today, isn't it for Lord Lingzun?" Duan Jiqing smiled, patted Duan Xiaoshan's hand again and said, "Besides, if you can't write two paragraphs with one stroke, we are a family!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, family, we are a family."

Han Si became a "small military machine", Duan Dazhang's family felt that Duan Jiqing's group could "recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors", Duan Xiaoshan was about to talk to Duan Jiqing about rebuilding the family tree, and a servant ran in in a hurry.

"Uncle Guan, I have inquired clearly, and Daotai has really received the news that Master Han has made a 'small military plane', and he is discussing with Futai what kind of lily should be prepared to congratulate him. Listening to Lord Daotai's long entourage, Lord Daotai originally planned to let Mrs. come first, but when he thought that Mrs. Han took the little young master to the capital, he had to give up. ”

The "little military machine" is not a joke, it is said that even the governor sent ice to the messenger to pay tribute to charcoal, and it was purely expected that the Daotai Mansion would come to congratulate him with a generous gift, Duan Jiqing had never been so beautiful, so he asked calmly: "What about the county master?" ”

"The county magistrate also went to the Provincial Administration, and the professor of the Provincial Administration and the county professor also went."

"They're really, they can come if they want, and they have to come together."

Liu Shanyang couldn't help laughing and said: "My family, the more people are like this, the more they attach importance to this matter, after all, our Chongqing Mansion and even the entire Sichuan East Province have produced such a small military plane for so many years." ”

"Yes." The more beautiful this person is, the easier it is to think of the downfall, Duan Jiqing suddenly thought of a person, and subconsciously asked: "Shi Zhen, what is Ren He busy with these days, I haven't seen anyone else for a long time, and I've heard of his letter." ”

Ren He...... Ren He seems to be teaching in a college in Chengdu, and it is said that he married the daughter of an official eunuch in Chengdu, and went to Chengdu to set up a banquet, but did not invite relatives and friends in his hometown. ”

Duan Jiqing muttered, "What's the difference between this and getting into a rut? ”

Liu Shanyang could understand his mood, and couldn't help laughing: "As long as the baby is still surnamed Ren, it will not be considered a trouble, I heard a classmate say that his father-in-law is not only rich but also has a way, and Ren He even invited Xuezheng on the day of his wedding." ”

Duan Jiqing didn't expect Ren He's turtle son to be able to turn over, so he thought about it and asked, "So he plans to be a school official?" ”

"Nine times out of ten, as long as you can climb the high branches of school politics, even if you can't do the county school teaching, you can also do Confucian teaching, I can't help but say that he is also a person."

Guan Bantou knew that Duan Jiqing hated Ren He's turtle son the most, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "Master Liu, you are the same as a man, what are your plans next?" ”

"I'm keeping filial piety, what can I do?"

As soon as Liu Shanyang's voice fell, the mountain shook suddenly, the whole hall shook, the table and the coffee table shook so much that the teacups were broken, and everyone was so frightened that they squatted down with their chairs.

Guan Bantou reacted the fastest, holding on to the increasingly violent Eight Immortals table, grabbed Duan Jiqing's arm, and shouted while running outside: "Dilong turned over, can't stay in the house, get out quickly!" ”

"Let's go, let's go!"

When everyone supported each other and stumbled out of the house, they saw that the stilted buildings under the hillside, especially in the north of the river, collapsed one after another as the ground shook and the mountains shook, and I don't know how many people were crushed below. And the streets were full of people fleeing in a hurry, and everywhere there were cries of terror.
