After the completion of the new science and technology sergeant, except for those who stayed in the capital, the rest of the people need to go to the post according to the time in the appointment document issued by the Ministry of Rites.

Fortunately, the imperial court is considerate that the new scholars are all rookies in the officialdom, and they have just finished the tribute examination, and they are haggard and need to relax for a few days, so they have a month's vacation, and after resting, they must go on the road.

Of course, this leave can only be enjoyed by the new bureau officials who have taken up their posts abroad, and the court counselors only have five days of vacation to take care of their personal affairs, after which they have to take up their posts in the six ministries of the three provinces, as well as the yamen of the prefectures and counties of Gyeonggi, so that they can familiarize themselves with official affairs earlier.

So why are people promoted to officials in the court so fast? The officials who took office in remote places have not yet finished their roads, and they have already passed the rookie period and are ready to make a big move.

When you toss and turn to the post, people have done several political achievements, and smell in the ears of the official, and when you finally hit a headbag, after figuring out the way of officialdom, the three-year grinding time is up, the three temples and the officials began to evaluate you, and the result is no political achievements, so you have to be in the middle and down, continue to stay in office and the people will be promoted to a higher level.

The first round is over, and then everyone is better than the second round, as a newcomer to the officialdom, it will naturally attract everyone's attention, plus there are people behind it, so it is easy to make political achievements, and make the emperor familiar with it, this comes and goes, the official rank is naturally promoted quickly, and when the foreign officials finally do a good job, the name in the same year has been repeatedly mentioned by the officials, and even entrusted with important tasks, you say, this official, can he be promoted unhappily?

However, foreign officials also have the benefits of foreign officials, as the so-called, the emperor is far away, and he is rich and king, as long as the means are good, 100,000 snowflakes of silver!

Anhua is at least more than 2,000 miles away from Lin'an, and there are also more than 2,000 miles to Youchuan County, Gou'er's hometown, so such a long distance can be said to take three months for a single journey.

Therefore, the dog used this reason to reject the enthusiastic Zhao Laozhang.

As a result, Mr. Zhao patted his chest and promised that as long as the dog married his daughter and lived in his family's courtyard, even if he didn't get into the house, he would be able to use his connections to reappoint the dog to the nearest place from home, and the county officials in Liangzhejiang Luzhou were left to the dog's choice.

This time, the dog was completely cornered, and in this way, Zhao Laozhang was digging around like ants in the river, and the dog was really afraid that the idea that he was fortunate to defend would be broken by him.

"Oh, little official, what's wrong with this Lin'an, you have to go to that desolate and remote mountain to fight wits and courage with the barbarians?"

Mr. Zhao took a sip of tea lightly, and said with a smile: "It's just right today, how about accompanying the old man to this big lake for a day after the little officials finish eating?" ”

The dog originally wanted to take advantage of a month's holiday, so he went back to Qianxian County, found a matchmaker to go to the door of Fengfu, and finalized the matter of himself and the third lady, but this Zhao Laozhang said that the dog lived in the house for many days, and he also saved his life, no matter what, he couldn't refuse, so he said in his heart, only one day late is nothing, so he nodded and agreed to his invitation.

"Lady, lady, there is news from the front yard, saying that Zhao Xiaoguan has agreed!"

A maid with two flower bags on her head ran into Zhao Xue'er's boudoir with an excited face and told the good news.

"Oh, so Sister Xue'er is about to get married?"

Zhang Yue'er, who regarded herself as an old man and had been eating and drinking for half a month, jumped out of bed directly when she heard this, and regardless of the cold on the ground, she walked barefoot to Xue'er, who was dressing up in front of the window, and asked loudly.

In the past, Zhao Xue'er was also like Zhang Yue'er, heartless and lungless, and then one day, her mother pulled herself and said some intimate private words, and since then, she has suddenly grown into a big girl, and she is no longer like before, and the wild girl is crazy to play.

"Oh Yue'er, don't talk nonsense, Grandpa just invited him to swim in the lake together!"

"Swimming in the lake?"

Zhang Yue'er rolled her eyes and crooked her mouth, so she applauded: "Okay, okay, I haven't been to the lake to play for a long time, and I will be called by the time come, don't worry, sister, I know everything, when the time comes, Yu'er and I will concentrate on catching fish, and we won't bother you two to kiss me and me!" ”

"What kiss me and me, you dead girl, you are really shameless!" Zhao Xue'er blushed and gently smacked her.

Zhang Yue'er laughed and deliberately teased her: "Sister Xue'er, don't be shy, if you two don't kiss, where did the doll come from, right don't rain!" ”

Yu'er chewed the fruit and smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, you have to kiss your mouth to have a doll!" ”

Zhao Xue'er was blushing at the joke of the two of them, and hurriedly interrupted: "The more you two talk, the more shameless they become, I will ignore you!" ”

After speaking, he covered his hot cheeks, twisted his waist and hurriedly ran.

Time is fleeting, the first day of the dog and Zhao Laozhang's family boating lake, the second day to climb high and look far away, the third day to visit the Confucian Temple, and then the fourth day, the dog took the initiative to find Zhao Laozhang, the two of them together to find a good restaurant, into the pavilion began to talk.

"Zhao Yuanwai, the kid already told you a few days ago that I already have an interest in someone! And he plans to marry her. ”

Mr. Zhao really fell in love with the dog, a young man whose parents died, so he wanted to explain the dog.

"The two of you, that is, those who have no relatives and no matchmaker, which family you have become are at most a confidant!"

The dog coughed and said, "Ah Gong Zhao, the kid is serious!" I have feelings for her! ”

Mr. Zhao took a sip of wine and said: "What is serious, the two children are playing in general, they know what kind of love and love!" ”

After speaking, he glanced at the silent dog and said, "Let me ask you, is my Xue'er ugly?" ”

The dog hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's not ugly, it's beautiful!" ”

"Is that a temperament not to your liking?"

The dog shook his head again and said, "No, Sister Xue'er is also gentle!" It's a nice guy! ”

Zhao Laozhang said: "That's not enough, Lang has a concubine who is intended, wait for a few more days, the two of you are acquainted, and the old man will go to find my friend to be a matchmaker for the two of you, and then take advantage of your holiday to handle the marriage, and then I will go to the ministry to walk the relationship, just look for an errand in this Lin'an Mansion, you two will have the rest of your life!" ”

"In the official mansion, Xue'er's eldest brother is also on an errand, although the official rank is not high, but he also has a care with you, his second brother guards the ancestral business, if the two of you are living in poverty, he can also help one or two, don't you want to live such a day?"

The dog shook his head silently and sighed, "This is what the kid dreams of!" ”

"That's it!" Mr. Zhao said happily.

"But ......"

"There is nothing to do, my ancestors of the Zhao family have also had nobles, but the descendants are not filial piety and declined, and now they only live a quiet life with their ancestral business, is my family not worthy of you, a new science and technology scholar?"

After refusing again and again, Mr. Zhao was finally unhappy, and his tone was heavier, and the dog listened, it was a long sigh, he was kind to himself, and he also attached great importance to himself, and the dog could feel it from the heart, and because of this, the dog could not refuse hard.

Zhao Laozhang saw that the dog just bowed his head and sighed, and did not give in to himself, he felt a little surprised in his heart, his granddaughter was not ugly and couldn't get married, but he just wanted her to marry a scholar, so he rushed to match him, but this young man still didn't appreciate it, hehe, if it was separated by his father, this kind of poor peasant family named "Zhao Dagou" was not worthy of marrying his own daughter at all, even if he got the reputation of Jinshi.

Thinking of this, Mr. Zhao picked up the wine cup on the table and drank it in one sip and said: "Zhao Xiaoguan, I miss you when you are young, so I advise you, this matter of marrying a wife and getting married, these children who are not in love and love are comparable, the old man advises you, think carefully and think clearly, there is only one chance, well, I figured it out, I invited someone to come to my house to say goodbye earlier, and I will handle the rest of the things, you just need to accompany my Xue'er to play in the mountains and rivers!" ”

That's the way it is, agreeing is a lifetime of glory and wealth, disagree, huh? The dog suddenly felt as if he had nothing to lose!

Well, it's not right, although he has nothing to lose, but Zhao Laozhang is not thin on himself, and it seems that he can't be authentic when he pats his ass and leaves.

So the dog is a little worried, not because he can't marry a rich girl, and he can't be greedy for the vanity of glory and wealth, but because he can't repay his benefactor's affection.

Thinking all the way to the inn, Zhao's father-in-law's family can't live anymore, after all, he didn't plan to marry someone's granddaughter, so he didn't have the cheekiness to live, but fortunately, the inn didn't retreat, and a few people still lived in it.

Entering the inn, the store was very enthusiastic, and he greeted him from afar and said gently: "Zhao Xiaoguan, is the room money for the past two months going to be settled!" ”

Even eating and living have bothered people for two months, and it is natural to pay for it, so the dog smiled and asked: "Plus the forage money for the mules and horses in the backyard, how much does it cost to pay it back?" ”

The shopkeeper said well, so he opened the account book and turned to the page of the dog, and carefully calculated before and after: "Two lower rooms, two months and five days, count you two months, a total of two and four, the meal money is, well, three through three dollars and sixty-two Wen, two mules are fed with inferior materials, two horses are fed with medium materials, and one more material is added at night, a total of three, two coins and twelve Wen, remove the fraction and calculate an integer!" ”

"Little official", the shopkeeper said: "A total of eight yuan, eight dollars and eighty wen!" ”

"Wow, that's an auspicious number!" The dog smiled, and after speaking, he carefully took out a small bag from his inner pocket, and carefully took out two silver deposit vouchers of "pay when you see the ticket, exchange it in full", and said: "Shopkeeper, do you accept this silver ticket here?" ”

The shopkeeper took a look, nodded and said: "Fortunately, it is not a Jiaozi issued in the yamen, otherwise the small shop will not be able to collect it, if you want to withdraw the money from these two tickets, you have to go to the money bank opened by your big businessmen in Sichuan in the city to take it, although it is more troublesome, but you can also take it out, so, I will accept it!" ”

This "silver ticket" was specially deposited in Longzhou Qianzhuang before the dog set off, a total of more than a dozen silver tickets, large and small, together a full hundred taels of silver! At that time, the shopkeeper of the money bank also overcharged the dog with enough money to guarantee the money.
