Liu Xuan took a sip of hot tea from the teacup, and asked Liu Ximing with a smile: "Last time, I felt that Liu Gongzi was extraordinary, and Liujia Village was even more Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I don't want to see it for more than a month, the village has changed so much, and the road in your village is so smooth, I think it cost a lot of money, and those few houses, but they look very different from the general housing system." ”

"Hahaha, Liu guards good eyesight, these are just made by people in the mountains and wilderness like us, and they can't enter the eyes of experts. Liu Gong has been in Shunqing recently, but unfortunately he didn't know about it, and he didn't visit more, which was really rude. Liu Ximing took advantage of the chatting to listen to Liu Jianhou's movements.

Liu Xuan glanced at everyone in the room with some vigilance, and said carefully: "Shunqing Mansion has been busy with affairs these days, and the master has been running around in the mansion, plus the matter of the thieves last time, even if Liu Gongzi wants to ask to see him, I am afraid it will be difficult to see him." ”

Although Liu Xuan's words were unknown, Liu Ximing still smelled a few unusual breaths from his words.

The patrol of the imperial history is a messenger, mainly ordered to visit local government affairs, verify the gains and losses of officials, and sort out criminal cases, etc., the entire Sichuan territory, there is only such a patrol according to the imperial history.

Logically speaking, the patrol should go back and forth between the prefectures to listen to the people's feelings, and now Liu Jianhou has been in Shunqing Mansion for one or two months, which contains a lot of significance.

At worst, it may be that there are unjust cases among the people, and if it is bigger, it may even involve some important officials.

Liu Ximing's mind turned sharply, and he had some expectations for this trip to Fucheng, and he said last time when Xie Chengzhou instructed him that the greater his value, the easier it was to be protected by Liu Jianhou.

So how can you highlight your own value, of course, it is to do things, so now Liu Ximing is not afraid that Liu Jianhou will find him if he has something to do, but he is afraid that he has no requirements for himself, and that is difficult to do.

Liu Xihe saw that Liu Ximing was pondering, he fully assumed the role of the deacon on duty and chatted with Liu Xuan, chatting and chatting about the last war, and a few people knew that Liu Xuan was also in the army.

Liu Ximing was interested when he heard this, and he also joined the topic to discuss the affairs of the army, after all, he had personally commanded the battle of hundreds of people, and the more he chatted with Liu Xuan, the more speculative he became.

By the time Yu Yongkai and the people from Qinweitun came over, Liu Xuan had already chatted with Liu Ximing and the others, and seeing that they were all ready, a group of people immediately rushed to Fucheng.

There is an office yamen in each prefecture, which is called the patrol inspection court, which is not far from the government and the county government.

I don't know if it's an illusion, I haven't seen him for more than a month, Liu Ximing feels that Liu Jianhou seems to have become a little old, and anyone can see that he is tired.

"Late life to meet Liu Gong", Liu Ximing as soon as he entered the main hall to pay homage to Liu Jianhou, now he has no fame, and he has to kneel down when he sees the official.

Liu Jianhou was writing something at the moment, and when he saw Liu Ximing and others coming, he put down the brush in his hand, went around from the bookcase to help Liu Ximing, and said with a smile: "You guys are coming quickly, so don't be polite." ”

"Liu Gong beckoned, and he hated the art of flying to the sky and the earth in his later life, how dare he delay for half a minute."

"Hahaha", Liu Jianhou looked at Liu Ximing with a respectful look, and couldn't help laughing: "I called you here today, because I have a happy event to tell you." ”

Seeing Liu Ximing's expectation cooperatively, Liu Jianhou turned around and took a document from the bookcase and handed it to Liu Ximing: "You have broken the thief twice, and the court has approved it, and a total of one hundred taels of silver will be rewarded. ”

Liu Ximing now has tens of thousands of taels of silver in his pocket, where do he care about these small money, but since Liu Jianhou intends to sell Guanzi, he immediately pretended to be happy and said: "A little bit of work, thanks to Liu Gongbaoju, otherwise it would not be like last time, it was concealed by Zhang Zhifu and others." ”

"Well, it's good if you know", Liu Jianhou nodded with satisfaction, knowing that Liu Ximing was accepting the name.

"Although the official has written a lot of credit for your achievements, but after all, you are now white, and the court is not easy to reward, but for the sake of the official's face, you are specially allowed to be a teacher after you are admitted to the show, and you can directly be designated as a student and enter the country to study. In addition, the position of inspection you asked for before has also been decided, so let your family hold this document and take office. ”

"Thank you for your kindness, how can you be so virtuous in your later life, and you have received such a great favor. Yongkai, why don't you hurry up and pay your respects to Lord Xie Liu. ”

When Liu Ximing heard the news, he finally settled down, the prison and the student are all things that money can solve, and the most important thing is the inspection position.

Comrade Liu is becoming more and more shameless now, he has already been tied to the boat anyway, so he simply changed his words and called Liu Jianhou an adult, he originally belonged to the younger generation, and it was not a loss.

Yu Yongkai was kneeling under the hall, and when he heard Liu Xi's greeting, he immediately stepped forward and marched and saluted: "Humble to Yongkai, meet your lordship, thank you for your merits." ”

Liu Jianhou had glimpsed Yu Yongkai last time, but at that time, the soldiers were fierce and dangerous, how could he have the time to observe carefully.

Now seeing Yu Yongkai wearing a strong suit, his national character face is heroic, his body is tall and slender, and his style of action reveals a tough spirit, Liu Jianhou couldn't help but brush his beard, and nodded at Liu Ximing and praised: "I don't want your ministry to have such a person, but the post of patrol inspection is not a good errand, and you can think of a way to do it among the one hundred and twenty people in your department?" ”

Liu Ximing turned his head to look at Yu Yongkai and motioned for him to speak.

Yu Yongkai immediately paused and said: "My lord, my second brother said that the lowly position of patrol inspection is mainly to serve the adults, and in order to ensure the safety, it is better to transfer strong men from the village." ”

Liu Jianhou was full of smiles when he heard this, the reason why he was willing to spend his strength on Liu Ximing was that he valued the force of Liujia Village, seeing this, he motioned to Yu Yongkai to get up and said: "This is very good, in the last war, I watched your troops march and behave quite in an orderly manner, and now that it is an eventful season, it is indeed necessary to have such weapons to protect the surrounding peace." ”

Speaking of this, he changed his words: "As for serving the official, Liu Ximing, can you take it seriously?" ”

Liu Ximing hurriedly bowed deeply: "Demeng Liu Gong will not give up, and I will be promoted many times, and I will dare not to take Liu Gong as the head of the horse, if the adult has something to do, but I will order."

That's it. ”

Liu Jianhou laughed and disguised: "If you want to talk about effectiveness, it is also to serve the imperial court, how can there be such a thing as doing things for the official, you will go to the yamen more in the future, and the official will stay in Shunqing Mansion for a while, and it is rare to see someone to talk to." ”

I believe you are a ghost, Liu Ximing complained in his heart, but he was more sure that Liu Jianhou really had something big to do.

The group went out to patrol the imperial history yamen, and it was said that Yu Yongkai should be asked to report to the county government first at this time, and meet the county order and other officials.

However, Liu Ximing thought about it, turned his head and led everyone to visit Xie Chengzhou's mansion, the former magistrate of Nanchong County, Zeng Shuyao, had gone to work a few months ago, and now he has not seen the new county commander, so it is better to find Xie Chengzhou first.

"Brother Shi, why are you here?"

Xie Chengzhou is estimated to be working in the county government at this time, and Xie Yuan, the housekeeper of Xie Mansion, took Liu Ximing to the side hall to rest, and sent someone to inform his master.

Liu Ximing had just sat down to drink tea for a while, when he suddenly heard Xie Chunxi's voice coming from afar, and he hurriedly got up to greet him.

This girl wore a crow blue pleated skirt today, a peach-colored half-arm on her upper body, a weeping snail hairstyle on her forehead, a string of golden jade and plum blossom hairpins on her head, and a pretty face shining in the sun.

"Hahaha, I haven't seen you for many days, Sister Xian is really getting more and more slim", Liu Ximing opened his mouth with a hearty laugh, and then teased: "Why, isn't Sister Xian not welcoming Brother Fool?" ”

Xie Chunxi ran over when he heard the news of Liu Ximing, where was there anything he didn't welcome, but at this moment he still pouted and said: "Brother Shi also knows that I haven't seen you for many days, and my brother has invited you many times and didn't come, but he choked enough at home, according to my little sister, you don't want to come." ”

Liu Ximing touched his cheek a little embarrassed, Xie Chengzhou, this kid does often write letters to himself, and sometimes he will carry one or two letters from Xie Chunxi, most of which invite him to walk around Fucheng.

However, Liu Ximing was not idle at all during this period, so he could only reply to the letter and excuse himself.

Now that he met the main owner, he had to quickly make a look of shame and said to Xie Chunxi: "Little sister, forgive me, the foolish brother is indeed inseparable from this period of time, you see, I didn't come to the door to compensate you." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ximing hurriedly beckoned Li Biao and the others to present the gifts he had prepared for Xie Fu.

Xie Chunxi's face was happy, and his small cherry mouth was slightly raised to both sides, so he leaned in front of the gift and said, "Hmph, even if you know each other, I'll take a look, what gift did Brother Shi bring to me?" ”

With Xie Chengzhou taking care of him many times, Liu Ximing can be said to be very attentive to the Xie family, and specially selected a few valuables from Tang Xiuyuan's goods as gifts, and prepared a batch of home-made best cotton cloth.

Although the Xie family is also a gentry family, where can it compare to the luxury of the Chu Palace, and there are many things in it that Xie Chunxi has never seen.

Even if Xie Chunxi is not a person who likes luxury, he still looks at it with a smile.
