Chapter 445: Third Uncle
Chapter 445 Qin Huaidao took Qin Da Niu and quickly arrived at Liu Pingzhong's house, Liu Pingzhong was not at home, Liu Pingzhong's wife was there.
"Peping is here, hurry, hurry up, please, your second uncle didn't come back after going to the court, now is the busiest time for the Ministry of Civil Affairs!" The second aunt smiled and beckoned Qin Huaidao to come in.
"Well, I heard that the third uncle came to the capital, so I came here to take a look." Qin Huaidao smiled and said to the second uncle.
"Well, inside, I wanted to go to your house, but the lord said that you went outside on a business trip, so I didn't go, I wanted to go yesterday, but the lord said you want to take a break, and I want to go over to see you in the afternoon!" The second aunt immediately smiled and Qin Huaidao said.
"Well, did the third uncle come alone or did the whole family come over?" Qin Huaidao asked with a smile.
"A large family has come over, to stay in the capital, now we have to wait, wait for the Ministry to release the position, it is estimated that it will be the time for the New Year, and now I can only wait,
Recently, I was also looking for a house, hoping to be able to rent a suitable house! The second aunt led Qin Huaidao in front and said to Qin Huaidao with a smile.
"Well, good!" Qin Huaidao nodded, and then went to the living room, and the third uncle Liu Pingqin also heard that Hu Guogong was coming, and immediately came out of the back room.
"Boping, this is the third uncle, the third brother, this is Qin Huaidao, the Duke of Hu Guo! It's also my sister's child! The second aunt immediately introduced them.
"I've seen the third uncle!" Qin Huaidao immediately arched his hand at him and said.
"Eh, eh, good, I've seen Hu Guogong, like, really like a little sister, come, come, please sit, the second brother is not at home, I'll say hello!" Come, tea, come! Liu Pingqin was very excited,
He didn't expect that Qin Huaidao would come here, before Liu Pingzhong said that Qin Huaidao was very good, and it was also good for the Liu family, and it also helped a lot.
Now Xiaoli is in the Ministry of Industry, doing very well, it is estimated that he will be promoted next winter, and Liu Pingzhong is now in power in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and it is estimated that he will be promoted soon, basically, no one dares to make things difficult for them, everyone knows that they are Hu Guogong's uncle!
"Uncle, don't blame, I haven't visited in person for so many years!" Qin Huaidao sat down and said to Liu Pingqin.
"Don't blame, don't blame, how old are you, you're only seventeen this year, I've also read the arrival report, you are now the dukedom of the three countries, the first in Datang, it's really good, my uncle is proud of you." Liu Pingqin immediately spoke,
At this time, Liu Xiaoyi came out, saw Qin Huaidao, and came over timidly to salute Qin Huaidao.
He has been locked up in the painting boat for three months, and he also knows that Qin Huaidao ordered him, for these three months, he is about to go crazy, no one talks to him, that is, when he sends food to eat, someone will come to see him, the food is very good, and then he will also give him books, he is bored, he can only read books, slowly, and he also read it.
"I've seen Hu Guogong!" Liu Xiaoyi said respectfully to Qin Huaidao.
"Sit!" Qin Huaidao said to Liu Xiaoyi with a smile.
"Thank you Hu Guogong, originally, I wanted to go to your house to apologize in person, but you have been away from home, thinking about going with your father in the afternoon, but I didn't expect you to come over, here today,
I solemnly apologize to you, I was ignorant before, which made Hu Guogong laugh and worry about Hu Guogong! Liu Xiaoyi stood there, clasped his fists at Qin Huaidao, bowed deeply and said.
"Oh, you've grown?" Qin Huaidao looked at Liu Xiaoyi with a smile and said.
"Three months, I also thought a lot, I was indeed Meng Lang before, and I was indeed ignorant, I read some books, and I also found my mistakes, I thought, why did I become like this,
It may be that I was in Fenyang before, I was the son-in-law over there, and when I arrived in the capital, I found that everyone was stronger than me. Liu Pingyi said with a smile,
Qin Huaidao looked at his eyes and found that he was very calm, which made Qin Huaidao a little surprised, such a look showed that he had really changed, completely without the previous unruliness, and without the cunning and cunning of the past.
"It's good to figure it out, the capital is not better than the place, there are indeed more lords here, and there are many officials, if you want to enjoy the glory and wealth, it is very important to behave in the world! If you don't have moral character, you won't be able to go up, and even if you go up, you will be miserable.
I haven't been optimistic about you before, just because I found that you are very arrogant and selfish, so I have never dared to recommend you up, if I recommend you up, maybe now, you should be in prison, and even your father will be affected.
It's impossible to implicate me, your influence is still not so great, but your father is my second uncle, my mother's own brother, I can't ignore it. Qin Huaidao sat there, looked at Liu Pingyi and said.
"Yes, at that time, I was really ignorant, thank you Hu Guogong for your teachings, if it weren't for those three months, I wouldn't understand, I was going back to my hometown this time, studying hard, and concentrating on being a man!
I don't want to be a big official, I just want to keep my heart, there is also some industry at home, and there are some good fields, so I will go back to guard the family industry, so that my brothers and brothers can worry about it in the capital! Liu Pingyi nodded and said to Qin Huaidao.
"It's best to think like this, so let's go back to my hometown to study, have more contact with ordinary people, when the imperial examination, I still have to take the exam, and if I can't pass the exam, I will go to the university to study, I still have this power,
As for wanting to be an official, now you can only pass the imperial examination and promote you to go up, and you will not be able to be a big official, and the trend of the court in the future is to take the imperial examination, I still hope that you can be admitted, even at the very end. Qin Huaidao sat there and looked at Liu Pingyi with a smile and said.
"Well, I don't expect to be admitted, I just read more books and think more about things!" Liu Pingyi said calmly.
"Okay, if there is any difficulty, write a letter, I can help here, just help!" Qin Huaidao nodded and said,
The third uncle, Liu Pingqin, also knew that Qin Huaidao was very dissatisfied with Liu Pingyi before, and now seeing Qin Huaidao nodding and saying yes, he was also a lot more relieved.
"Come, drink tea, I heard that these tea leaves are sent from your house, just right, before, I never thought of being able to drink tea like this, now sitting here, drinking tea, thinking about things, it's really very pleasant!" Liu Pingqin smiled and said to Qin Huaidao,
At this time, five or six people came in from outside, and among them was a middle-aged woman.
When Liu Pingqin saw it, he stood up.
"Hu Guogong, this is a cheap one, these five are all my children!" Liu Pingqin stood up and said.
"I've seen the third uncle!" Qin Huaidao immediately stood up and saluted Liu Pingqin's wife.
"This is Hu Guogong, I have seen Hu Guogong, before the lord has always said that he wants to come to the capital to meet Xiaomei's child, but he has not been able to make the trip, this time I finally saw it!" Liu Pingqin's wife immediately saluted Qin Huaidao and said.
"Uncle has a heart!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile, and then sat down.
"This is the eldest son, Liu Xiaoling, this is the eldest daughter Liu Chunyan, the second son Liu Xiaochun, the third son Liu Xiaoqing, and the youngest daughter Liu Chunli!" Liu Pingqin stood there and continued to introduce Qin Huaidao.
"I've seen Hu Guogong!" The five children immediately saluted Qin Huaidao and said.
"Hmm. Okay, this time I came in a hurry, I didn't bring you gifts, I'll have someone send it to you when I go back! Qin Huaidao smiled at them and said,
Then he looked at the eldest Liu Xiaoling, and asked, "Is there seventeen or eighteen?" Can you read? ”
"I'm eighteen, I'm studying, but I haven't taken the Enke exam yet, and I'm going to take the university exam next year!" Liu Xiaoling arched his hand and said to Qin Huaidao.
"Okay, when the time comes, I'll come to the university to study!" Qin Huaidao smiled and nodded.
"Your cousin, now he is the business of the university, and he manages the affairs of the university, but he has to work hard to get in." Liu Pingqin said with a smile, at this time, Liu Pingzhong came back and was very happy.
"Pepin, congratulations, you've made another marquis!" Liu Pingzhong came in and said to Qin Huaidao with a smile, Liu Pingqin and they heard it, and looked at Qin Huaidao in surprise.
"Haha, yes, second uncle, I haven't seen you for a while, I'm busy?" Qin Huaidao stood up with a smile and asked.
"Well, busy, now a lot of money from the Ministry of Civil Affairs is coming in, so I settle the accounts every day, and just now the family came to report, saying that you came to the house, and I will come back from leave!" Liu Pingzhong nodded with a smile and said, and then made a gesture of invitation to Qin Huaidao.
"Marquis again?" Liu Pingqin looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile and asked.
"Yes, a marquis!" Qin Huaidao nodded.
"Well, congratulations!" Liu Pingqin was very shocked, and he admired this nephew very much, and at the same time he was also happy in his heart, with such a nephew, he was also comfortable as an official in the capital.
For example, the second brother is very comfortable now, in the court, no one dares to stumble, unless he is crazy, to provoke Qin Huaidao's relatives, I heard that Tang Jian and Qin Huaidao are very familiar,
It is conceivable that in the court, Qin Huaidao just sat at home and didn't do anything, and no one dared to mess with him.
"After a while, I will have a banquet for guests, and when the time comes, I will also introduce you to those scholars, the six books, plus those people from Menxia Province and Zhongshu Province, I will also introduce you to you, and then see what department to go to,
However, now the best department is still the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry, of course, if the Ministry of Industry works under me, it may not be so fast, I must follow the process,
In other departments, the promotion is faster, but the second uncle is in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I suggest that you go to the Ministry of Officials, but it is really not good, you can also go to the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of Punishment! Qin Huaidao smiled at him.
"I'm going, I'm going, such a big happy event, but I have to go in person to congratulate you!" Liu Pingqin nodded with a smile and said, this is said so clearly, Qin Huaidao is equivalent to paving the way for him.
