Liu Ximing didn't care too much about the fact that Mrs. Xie and others were also present, after all, Xie Wenle also participated in the county exam, and it was common for the family to celebrate together when they got the news.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the main hall, he bowed to a few people and said: "I have to be reminded by Xie Shibo many times, so that the younger generation can get away with the test, and I came here today to thank you." ”

As soon as Xie Cheng saw the sky, he knew that Liu Xi's fate had gotten the news and went directly to his home, and he thought a little higher of him in his heart, this is a person who misses the old love.

At that moment, he burst into laughter and took a few steps forward to support Liu Ximing: "The virtuous nephew is modest, and he still relies on his personal talent in the science field, if you are just a mediocre talent, even if I say more, it will not help." ”

After speaking, he pointed to Xie Wenle next to him, "You see that my rebel son is not like this, there are many famous teachers in the family, but it is not enough." ”

Xie Wenle's originally elated expression immediately turned into a bitter look on his face, how could others compare with me.

When Liu Ximing saw him like this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Uncle is too strict with Brother Xie, you need to know that Brother Xie also won the sixth place in the exam this time, which can be regarded as outstanding among these hundreds of people." ”

"That's it, on such a happy day today, why do you still say such depressing words, Le'er, you come to your grandmother, and let your grandmother also touch your temperament."

Not only Liu Ximing was upset, but Mrs. Xie also clubbed her crutches, blaming Xie Chengzhou, and at the same time pulled Xie Wenle to her side to encourage her.

Xie Chengzhou's face was a little unbearable, he was used to playing the role of a strict father, and he suddenly stopped his mouth today, and now he thinks about his son is not bad.

"Ahem, cough, my son is afraid that he will be arrogant, and he told him to guard against arrogance and rashness."

Xie Chengzhou put on a paternalistic style and said: "Third child, you did quite well in the exam this time, and your father specially allowed you to rest for five days, and let's talk about the government exam later." ”

Xie Wenle almost didn't jump up when he heard that there was a holiday to release, but in the end, it was Old Madam Xie who glared at him to let him rein in.

His son couldn't discipline him, which made Xie Chengzhou a little unhappy, he turned to Liu Ximing and said: "You have won the county test, you can directly participate in the college test as a rule, then you must seize the time to review, you need to know that the county test can only be regarded as an appetizer, the college test is presided over by Xuezheng himself, and the talents of the pillars of the province are gathered together, this is the time to really test your skills, you don't lose your sharpness." ”

"Yes, thank you Shibo for mentioning it", of course, Liu Ximing could only listen obediently like a good baby.

Xie Chengzhou came here but laughed in a different tone: "The county exam is nothing, if you really win the college exam, then you can't say that no one will come to catch your son-in-law on the list, speaking of which, virtuous nephew, have you ever been married?" ”

Liu Ximing shook his head a little embarrassedly, and made a young man's appearance, "Shibo also knows, the little nephew was busy revitalizing the family business before, and recently he is busy with his studies, where do I have time to talk about this." ”

Xie Chengzhou looked at him with a smile in his eyes, turned his head and smiled: "It was okay before, but you will be almost sixteen soon, and you should also think about this." ”

Xie Chunxi heard this topic on the side, and immediately glanced at his father covertly, just in time to see the scene of him and his grandmother looking at each other, and his pretty face turned pink.

Liu Ximing stayed at Xie's house until the evening before returning, and when the night fell, he ran non-stop to visit the inspection institute.

"No need to be polite", Liu Jianhou saw that Liu Ximing was respectful as usual, smiled and personally helped him up.

"You don't have to worry too much about the hospital exam, try your best, Sichuan Xuezheng Chen Shiqi is the same year as his own official, he is upright, of course it is impossible for him to help you, but there will be some care."

Liu Xi's heart is about to jump into his throat, although he thinks that he has poetry and books in his belly, but it is of course a good thing to have one more way, I didn't expect Liu Jianhou to be so powerful, this is really his own nobleman.

He immediately bowed and said: "How can he be born in the late life, he can be taken care of by Liu Gong like this, and it is difficult to repay the grass and ring." ”

Liu Jianhou smiled, "It is my generation's responsibility to recommend talents for the country, if you can be loyal to the country, it will be the greatest reward for me." ”

"Besides, this is not a big deal, every year the head of the county also has some preferential treatment, except for a few people, etc., you can generally be admitted."

"Speaking of which, do you know why I think so highly of you?"

"Please also ask Liu Gong to make it clear."

"Now that the Central and Vietnamese provinces in Sichuan are in turmoil, not only are there rogue raids and harassments, but there are also ambitious people such as the Yuan Sect, and a group of rogues who rushed into Sichuan from Hanzhong a few years ago have also eased up, and they are known to the outside world as the Thirteen Yellow Families, and this situation can be described as dangerous."

"At this time, in addition to the official army, you must rely on the local gentry, you know the art of war, the village you train is also strong, Sichuan is the hometown of you, if you want to protect the territory and the people, you have to wait more."

When Liu Ximing heard Liu Jianhou's words, his heart was a little turbulent, he thought that he was just like those Donglin Party members, he only knew that the party was the same and different, but he didn't expect that after a long period of contact, he realized that there were also people in his chest, and it seemed that he couldn't kill all people with a stick.

"Liu Gong", Liu Ximing's eyes were slightly red, and he bowed his hand, "I will thank the people of Sichuan for the grace of Liu Gong's protection." ”

Liu Jianhou may have been talking about his emotions, he turned around and sat down with some emotion, "Last time you mentioned the matter of inducing the Yuan Sect to launch in advance, I have arranged for Hong Feijie and others to do it, I am afraid that there will be even greater turmoil in the next year, but as you said, if it is not broken, it will not stand, if such a poisonous sore is not removed before it occurs, I am afraid that it will be even worse in the future." ”

"But in this way, the pressure on the military in northern Sichuan has increased, and the people in your village can't relax their training for a moment, and they still expect you to make great efforts then."

Liu Ximing felt a little Alexander, shouldn't he count on the officials and soldiers for such a big matter?

Liu Jianhou may have seen Liu Ximing's bitterness, and said with a desolate face: "You don't expect too much from the official army, last year, the Manchu prisoners entered the customs from Datong, and the Beijing division can be described as three shocks a day, in order to ensure the peace of His Majesty, Qin Liangyu's troops were requisitioned and transferred to the Beijing division, and the Sichuan troops are becoming more and more empty, and the soldiers and horses transferred from Fucheng may also be transferred back to Chongqing in a short time, so it is not known how useful they can be." ”

"But you don't have to worry too much", Liu Jianhou vomited bitter water, and comforted Liu Xi's life, "Most of the thieves are vulnerable, in the past, when the official army fought, it was often possible to break tens of thousands of people, I heard that your department is almost more than 2,000 people?" ”

The cold sweat on Liu Ximing's forehead came down all of a sudden, who the hell is this leaking news, shouldn't it, he is quietly doing things in the village, how can Liu Jianhou know it clearly.

Liu Jianhou picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, looked at Liu Ximing's uneasy appearance and smiled: "You don't know what Jinyiwei does, is it difficult to investigate the current situation in your village, what are you doing as a scholar, as long as it is not a rebellion, there are more people like you in the country, even if there are hundreds of families in my family, do you have to take care of the imperial court?" ”

"Hehe, isn't it prudent to be born late." , Liu Ximing smiled embarrassedly.

"Hmph, that's it anyway, let your subordinates also cheer up the inspection, and the business travel of the passing personnel should also strengthen the check, when it is very rare, I can only rely on me to do my best, tomorrow you have to go to Xie Zhangzhi County, go back first."

"Do as your lord commands."

Liu Ximing said goodbye to Liu Jianhou, rushed back to the courtyard in the city before the curfew, and while everyone was still resting, he quickly called Chen Yiding, Dou Yuquan and others over, and relayed Liu Jianhou's words just now, so that everyone could have a bottom in their hearts.

"I know that everyone has just won the test, and I am a little excited in my heart, but now that the state affairs are difficult, under the overturn, it is difficult for us to preserve, and the affairs in the village still depend on everyone's collective wisdom and common efforts."

Dou Yuquan listened with a solemn face, "It seems that the expansion of the village still has to be grasped, this month Changheng Firm is estimated to send people over, the supervisor should be barely enough, and now at this juncture, I can't take care of anything else, and it is only right to strengthen myself." ”

Chen Yiding couldn't take care of his original attitude against blind expansion, and sighed and said: "That's right, not only that, but the village and the Hexi Inspection Department should also strengthen their vigilance." ”

"Okay, let's call Yongkai to discuss and discuss, if necessary, let's send another person to the inspection department."
