Chapter 194: The Family's Reaction
Zhou Wenzhu handed over the official letter to Chen Xiaoting, and at the same time gave him relevant surveys, which Chen Xiaoting had to use when he arrived in Luyang.
When he left the lobby of the hundred households, Zhao Ying and the others had already brought back the things that were searched by the Chen Mansion and handed them over to the warehouse, just waiting for Chen Xiaoting's instructions.
On the first day of May, he was asked to report to Qianhu that Chen Xiaoting would soon not be their boss, and he had nothing to instruct at this time.
Facing the eight lieutenants under his command and the twenty-seven officers present, Chen Xiaoting spoke: "Brothers, the order that Qianhu has just arrived, and soon I will not be your little flag officer!"
As soon as this was announced, there was a commotion among the people, and the result was too sudden for them.
Zhao Ying asked, "My lord, where do you want to transfer?"
Although he already had a guess in his heart, Zhao Ying still asked, and he wanted to get a positive answer.
Chen Xiaoting said: "Go to the Thousand Households to serve, or a small flag official!"
As soon as these words came out, there was another commotion, Chen Xiaoting had only been on an errand for a year, and it was less than half a year since he was promoted to a small flag officer, so he would go further to Luyang.
This kind of flying promotion speed is really enviable, not to mention that Chen Xiaoting is still so young.
Of course, some people sighed in their hearts that Chen Xiaoting also leaned against the big tree to enjoy the shade, and took the big boat of thousands of households.
But no matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone said at this time: "Congratulations to your Excellency!"
Chen Xiaoting waved his hand slightly, and then said: "The new little flag officer is not unexpected, it is Cai Xu, who is in charge of the prison, I will ask him to take more care of you!"
Cai Xu is a lieutenant who directly belongs to Xiaoqi, and only then did Chen Xiaoting ask two more words before he heard his thoughts from Zhou Wenzhu.
"But you also have to cooperate with his will, and you have to give each other face!" Chen Xiaoting admonished, and stared at Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying has a lively personality and has his own way of doing things, but it is difficult for such a person to be liked by his boss, just like Chen Xiaoting and Wang Youtian.
In fact, when they heard that there was about to be a new Xiaoqi official, everyone was still a little reluctant to Chen Xiaoting.
After all, Chen Xiaoting is the boss, and everyone's benefits are enough, and now they may have to go back to the history of Wang Youtian and Liu Yucai.
"Okay, that's it for today, tomorrow night in Ziyun Tower, this official invites everyone to drink one last time!" Chen Xiaoting said with a smile.
Although he was about to part, Chen Xiaoting was still everyone's boss after all, so everyone applauded.
When Chen Xiaoting returned home, it was already noon, and the Chen family's lunch had already begun.
Pushing open the courtyard door, I saw Chen Xiaoting holding the dishes and chopsticks, and when he saw the eldest brother coming back, he smiled and shouted: "Daddy, the eldest brother is back!"
At this time, the sophomore in the kitchen was holding two plates of dishes, and muttered as he walked: "What is the dead girl shouting, she will come back when she comes back, just add more dishes and chopsticks!"
Chen Xiaoting didn't think it was strange that his own mother would have this reaction, because there were two reasons.
One is that after becoming an official, Chen Xiaoting is often away from home, which makes Gao Erniang, as a mother, feel that she has raised her son in vain.
The second and most important point is that Chen Xiaoting has not yet married, and the second mother of Gao has been looking forward to holding her grandson.
Fortunately, at this time, Chen Dayong came out to relieve the siege, and said with a calm face: "What are you still stunned about, just eat when you should eat!"
So Chen Xiaoting changed the topic in the old way and said, "Xiaolin hasn't come back yet?"
Chen Dayong said: "It's time to come back, the government has not been peaceful recently, I want to stop him from doing it inside!"
With so many things happening during this time, there must not be peace in the palace, and even the gentry in Guangde Mansion are panicking.
Chen Licheng died, and the Yang family of Yang Yuanjiao also disappeared, there are many shady things hidden in it, and everyone is afraid of being implicated.
Naturally, major matters have to be discussed with the eldest son, so Chen Dayong said, "What do you think of Xiaoting?"
The family walked into the main hall, and after the second elder sat down, Chen Xiaoting arrived: "The officials of the government don't have much hope, Xiaolin has also seen a lot of warmth and coldness in it during this time, it's enough!"
"It just so happens that the tea shop at home needs help, so let him come back to help you!"
Chen Dayong nodded, and said, "I think so too, so let's do it!"
This is the parents of the feudal era, and the juniors have no choice in life events, so they can only obey the arrangements of the elders.
Seeing Chen Xiaoting untie the saber, Chen Xiaoyu stepped forward and said, "Big brother, I'll help you put the knife!"
Smiled and handed the knife to Chen Xiaoyu, Chen Xiaoting was going to talk about the transfer, but he only heard Chen Dayong say: "The tea house is doing very well now, and it is just right ......for Xiaolin to come over to help."
"Don't you know, we earned twenty taels of silver in March alone...... There are two more months of rent to return to the capital, and the back is all net profit......"
Chen Dayong kept talking, Chen Xiaoting smiled and listened carefully, and at the same time took out the official letter from his arms.
Then he said in a deep voice: "Dad, I'm going to Luyang!"
Hearing this, Chen Dayong didn't say anything, but Gao Erniang asked first, "When will you come back?"
Don't look at her just now to Chen Xiaoting, but as a mother, what she is most concerned about is when her son will come home.
Before leaving, I am afraid that I will return late!
Chen Xiaoting said solemnly: "The order of the Thousand Households, my son is going to Luyang on an errand!"
Chen Dayong couldn't believe it, so he asked, "Go to the Thousand Households on an errand?"
Chen Xiaoting nodded, and then said, "Well, I was transferred to the small flag officer of Qianhu!"
Sure enough, he was transferred to a thousand households, and Chen Da was extremely excited about this matter, and the eldest son was proud of his ancestors for the Chen family.
"Is it a 100-household prison or a 100-household prison?" Chen Dayong then asked, he really understands this regard.
Chen Xiaoting replied: "The 100 households are likely to be on an errand under Zhang Zongqi!"
At this time, Chen Dayong couldn't sit still, so he saw him standing up and laughing: "Okay...... All right! ”
"My Chen family has been on errands for generations, and there have been a few small flag officials, but no one has ever been on an errand in a thousand households!"
Coming to Chen Xiaoting, Chen Dayong patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Xiaoting, you are really embarrassed by our Chen family!"
I didn't expect my father to react so much, but in this era of the supremacy of feudal power, Chen Dayong's reaction is actually normal.
Without waiting for Chen Xiaoting to say anything, Gao Erniang opened her mouth and asked, "Master, are you saying that Xiaoting is going to Luyang and is not on an errand in Fucheng?"
When she received an affirmative answer from her husband, Gao Erniang also had a smile on her face, any mother is good for her son.
At this time, Chen Dayong walked outside the main hall and said, "It's a good thing, this is a great thing!"
Gao Erniang couldn't help asking, "Where are you going?"
Chen Da didn't reply with his head: "Such a good thing, I can't hold back, I'll go to my old friends' houses to hang out!"
Hearing this answer, Chen Xiaoting was convinced, but he still couldn't understand the excitement that his father was extremely happy now.
For parents of any era, children are their capital to show off, especially in front of old friends, they can reap more vanity and satisfaction.
Outside, Chen Xiaolin, who was going home, met his father and went out in ecstasy, and he didn't even pay attention to his greetings, and he was very puzzled.
When he came to the main hall and saw Chen Xiaoting, he asked, "Big brother, what's wrong with him?"
didn't wait for Chen Xiaoting to answer, only heard Gao Erniang say: "What's the matter, your father is crazy!"
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting's brothers looked at each other and smiled, they couldn't figure out the grievances between their parents.
