Han Xiufeng only knew that Guo Peilin would not let him lead the troops into battle again, and he didn't know when he would be able to return to his hometown, but now that he has finally determined the return date, he is really in good spirits on a happy occasion, and he is humming Yangzhou Minor Tune back to the small courtyard of the threshing floor.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, Pan Er chased after him, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked eagerly: "Fourth brother, you really don't plan to do this official, do you really plan to return to Ba County in the spring next year?" ”

"This can still be fake, how good is it to go home, don't you miss home?"

"Yes." Pan Er looked back behind him and saw that Ren Yu'er and Cuihua were both drying books outside, so he said with a bitter face: "Fourth brother, I think so, but I'm different from you." Everyone in Taizhou knows that I Pan Changsheng is the patrol officer of Lord Guo, but if I go back to my hometown, who will know, they must think that I am just a glamorous-looking alternate officer! ”

Han Xiufeng subconsciously asked, "So you don't want to go back with me?" ”

"Fourth brother, it's not that I don't want to, I plan to work for a few more years, and when the acting department is vacant, even if I only serve as the ambassador of the Salt Division, it is better than just going back. Besides, Master Guo is not thin on me, he is the time to employ people. You said it before you left, if I go with you, what will Master Guo do here. ”

"Since you've thought about it, then stay, you've already experienced it from the candidate of the seventh grade, and you don't need to discuss these things with me."

"Didn't we come out together, to stay for such a big thing, can I not discuss it with you?" Pan Er asked rhetorically, thought about it and said, "Fourth brother, you don't need to ask, you know, Datou will definitely go back with you." With the big head by your side, I don't have anything to worry about along the way. ”

"I still need you to worry, besides, it's next year, it's still early!"

"That's right."

"But since you're here, there are a few things I have to explain to you."

"What's the matter?" Pan Er hurriedly asked.

"You know about Du San and those six fellow villagers, even if I don't leave until the beginning of spring next year, I can't go to Taizhou now, and I can't take care of them. If you have time, if you can meet them, remember to help me knock them. In the past, he didn't put you in front of him, and feng shui took turns, but now he doesn't dare to borrow a few guts. In short, he didn't dare not listen to what you said. ”

"Fourth brother, you can rest assured, Xiao Wuzi and I will keep an eye on them, the day before yesterday when they went to Jiangning from Taizhou, I also warned them that no one can pit their own fellow villagers, let alone swagger and deceive outside under the guise of Fourth Brother you."

"yes, that's how they should be beaten."

Pan Er was about to speak, Jinghua walked into the courtyard with Su Jueming's support as if he was really lame, and as soon as he came in, he asked eagerly: "Fourth master, what did Master Guo say, is there any drama in my business?" ”

"Lord Guo nodded," Han Xiufeng motioned for him to sit, while pointing at Pan Er and said with a smile: "You know Changsheng, wait a while to hand over your resume and the official documents sent to you by the Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of War to Changsheng, and Changsheng will take Lord Guo's letter to Qinchaxingyuan to help you ask Qi Shan, as long as Qi Shan nods, you can act as the salt fishing camp, which is the capital of my salt fishing camp." ”

"What if Qi Shan doesn't nod?"

"How could he not nod his head, do you think about it, he has offended fewer people now? As far as I know, not only did he and Lei Yicheng, Fu Jihe, lead the troops to chase down Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang's Shengbao, but it seems that he can't pee in the same pot with Chen Jinshou. If he didn't even give this face, wouldn't he even have to offend Master Guo. ”

"So it's done!" Jinghua is full of joy.

"There shouldn't be any variables," Han Xiufeng smiled, and then his face turned straight: "But this capital is not so easy to do, if you want to be stable and do it for a long time, you have to listen to me when I'm here, and you have to listen to Changsheng when I'm not there." ”

"This is natural, this lack is what you helped me find out of the fourth master, I don't listen to you and the immortal brother, who else can I listen to, besides, in this place, I know the immortal brother except the fourth master."

"It's good to know, let's go get the resume and official documents."

"Okay, I'll go." Jinghua's arms and legs seemed to be in pain suddenly, and he got up without Su Jueming's support, walked to the door and turned back and said, "Brother Changsheng, everything depends on you in the future." ”

"One family doesn't talk two words." Pan Er arched his hand and smiled.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, I'll go get my resume and official documents first."

"Jueming, don't go."

"Fourth Master, what do you command?" Su Jueming hurriedly asked.

Han Xiufeng said with a smile: "First help me to invite the dean, just say that there is something important to discuss, and then go to the Baojia Bureau and call Lu Daming, Liang Liu, Jiang Huai and Chen Hu." ”

"Okay, I'll go."

……

Ren Yaen also went to the river to greet Guo Peilin at noon, but the main hall of Fengshan Academy was too small, so he could only set up a table of banquets, he was worried that he would be embarrassed if he couldn't sit down, so he sent Guo Peilin up the mountain with everyone and found an excuse to come back. Hearing Su Jueming say that Master Han was looking for him to discuss important matters, he threw down the ring ruler and ran to the small courtyard.

Unexpectedly, there was really a good thing, as soon as Han Xiufeng's voice fell, he got up and said, "Thank you for the help, thank you for the help, if it weren't for the help of Master Han, the student's candidate Confucian instructor really doesn't know when he will be waited......"

"Dean Ren, this can't be helped, Yu'er is still outside!" Han Xiufeng helped him up, looked at him with a smile and said, "Wait a while, give your resume to Changsheng, and Master Guo will help you repair the new Xuezheng book, and send it to the school's yamen along with your resume." This scholar must be able to do it, but it's just a matter of time and time. ”

"Don't worry, I've been waiting for more than ten years in my late life, and I don't care about waiting for another year and a half."

"I guess I'll keep you waiting for a year at most."

Ren Yu'er has been eavesdropping at the door, and found that her father really wants to be an official, so she can't help but hold on to the door frame and ask: "Dad, how good it is to teach in Hai'an in this chaos, and it's not that you can't live this day, why do you have to be an official?" ”

"What do you know, I'm talking to Master Han about business!"

"I don't know anything, Dad, have you told the third aunt about such a big thing?"

"I need to tell her, okay, okay, you go and do your business, and I'll talk about it when I get home in the evening."

"But ......"

The daughter was unrelenting, Ren Yaen was anxious, but she couldn't get angry with her daughter in front of Master Han, so she could only say bitterly: "Yu'er, Dad knows what you're worried about, but there's really nothing to worry about." Dad wants to be a school official, not a seal official, and he has no responsibility to defend the land, so if he really encounters bandits, he doesn't have to fight with bandits. ”

"Really?"

"What am I lying to you about, don't believe it, ask Master Han."

"Fourth brother, the scholar really has no responsibility to defend the land, so he really doesn't have to fight with the bandits?" Ren Yu'er asked with tears in her eyes.

"No, your dad really didn't lie to you." Afraid that she wouldn't believe it, Han Xiufeng smiled again: "In the matter of how to deal with the civil and military officials who have lost their land, the emperor has specially issued an order, and the academic officials have no responsibility to defend the land, and the thieves can guard it or leave." ”

"I'm relieved, but why do you have to be an official?"

"If you don't be an official, what do you do if you read so many sage books, how can you glorify your ancestors if you don't become an official......"

Ren Yaen didn't want Master Han and Master Pan to laugh, so he hurried to coax his daughter like coaxing a child. Fortunately, Lu Daming and the others came quickly, otherwise I really don't know how much of a joke they would have made.

Lu Daming and Liang Liu had been waiting for news from Fengshan, and as soon as they heard that Master Han had summoned them, they realized that there was an errand, so they forced down the excitement in their hearts and honestly knelt in front of the Eight Immortals table.

Han Xiufeng didn't let them get up and talk as usual, but put down the teacup and said slowly: "Da Ming, Lao Liu, Jiang Huai, Chen Hu, just now on the mountain, I begged Lord Guo for you, Lord Guo wanted to give me Han Xiufeng a few thin noodles, but this matter made him very embarrassed, after all, he had already promoted so many military attaches before, and there was no shortage of salt fishing camps. ”

"Master Han, these little ones know, the little ones just want to ask for an errand to eat, it doesn't matter if they can be officials or not."

"Yes, Master Han, what's the point of always patrolling the streets and keeping vigil every day, we want to ask for a ...... Ask for an errand. ”

"It's a bit wronged for you to let you patrol the streets and keep vigil with those young people. In this way, you will go to meet Master Guo with Changsheng later, and after seeing each other, you will kowtow a few more times, and Lord Guo's heart will soften, and maybe he will give you an errand. ”

"Master Han, it's easy for us to go and see us, but is it just that Master Guo will meet us?" Lu Daming asked with a sad face.

"Isn't there immortality, the opportunity is earned by yourself, and if you don't try it, you will know if you can get an errand." Han Xiufeng motioned for them to get up, and reminded very seriously: "Besides, Lord Guo is different from those officials and masters of the Fairy Temple, he will either not accept you, but if he does, he will treat you as his own people." Even if there is no suitable shortage in front of you, sooner or later it will help you find a vacancy and become a half-official. ”

"I know this," without waiting for Lu Daming to speak, Liang Liu said with envy: "I went to look for Lao Jiu just now, and Lao Jiu said that Master Guo was good to them, and he planned to help Lao Jiu talk about his mother-in-law." ”

"I know if I don't hurry up to meet you, it's useless to rub around with me."

"Master Han, you just said to let the little one wait for a while."

"Okay, I said it, now I'll let you go, all go to the foot of Fengshan and wait."

"Then the little one is gone?"

Han Xiufeng scolded with a smile: "Get out, get out, get out of here!" ”

Seeing them smiling and leaving happily, Pan Er couldn't help but turn around and said, "Fourth brother, you have given all the powerful people to Master Guo." ”

"If you don't give it to Master Guo, it's hard to give it to others, even if you recommend it to others, others may not necessarily use it." Han Xiufeng put down the teacup and stood up, thought about it and said solemnly: "If they don't let them work for Master Guo, they will definitely not feel comfortable in their hearts." But if they let them go, whether it's a good thing for them or not, I really don't know in my heart. ”

Pan Erjue Han Si's official is getting bigger and bigger, but his courage is getting smaller and smaller, and he can't help but smile: "Fourth brother, you think too much." Didn't you often say that there are tall people on top of the sky when the sky falls, and it is not our turn to go to the division to suppress bandits and quell chaos, whether it is Lord Guo, please help rebuild the salt fishing camp, or please help train the township bravery, it is just a matter of prevention. ”
