Liu was woken up by a knock on the door.

When he woke up, Geng Qiuyi was still lying beside him, his face still had an unsubsided flush, and his small body was curled up, like a small animal.

Just sleeping with her clothes, with a bun on her head, she should have gotten up, listening to Liu Shi's shout outside the door, Liu Zheng got up and put on her clothes, and pushed Geng Qiuyi, "Madam, get up." ”

"Hmmm......"

Geng Qiuyi opened his eyes in a daze, "Husband? ”

"Deran! Autumn Yi! Wake up! ”

Outside the door, Liu Shi knocked on the door again, and the voice sounded a little urgent.

"Ah, father-in-law, wait a moment, husband just got up!"

Geng Qiuyi was busy waiting for Liu Zheng to put on a change of clothes, and then under Liu Shi's repeated urging, he hurriedly ran out and opened the door, "Father-in-law, the concubine is ...... for a while."

"It's fine. What about Deran? ”

Liu Shi rushed into the house without saying anything, pinching the genealogy brought back from Jixian County in his hand, his face flushed, "Deran, my father has been appointed as the commander of Dingxing County!" Moreover, I was asked to nominate suitable candidates to appoint county officials, county lieutenants, chief secretaries, and other positions, and after the appointment, I only needed to report! ”

Geng Qiuyi covered his mouth with a face full of surprise, and then pointed to the door and said that he was going to inform the Li family, Liu Zheng tied his hair and nodded with a smile, watched her run out of the door, turned his head and said in surprise: "In other words, our Liu family has really mastered a county seat in Dingxing from today onwards!" And Liu Fujun supports the whole process! ”

"Yes!"

Liu Shi nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "It's not all!" Zhang County's order has been revised before, and the original process of killing Dingxing County officials by him and Yun Chang and Yide has become led by you, Liu Fujun knows about this, and he wants you to go over to lead the troops to fight against thieves and recruit Xiangyong after you recover from your injuries, he said that if you can bring some, you can bring it, and if you can't bring it, you can go directly! There are hundreds of soldiers waiting for you! ”

"What?!"

Liu Zheng was taken aback, his face was filled with joy, but he still hesitated: "Dad, what did you say over there?" ”

"The superintendent came over in person, can there be a vacation? You don't know the attitude of the postmaster! Zhang Xianling also stuffed some cloth and money for him, but he said that he didn't want anything. Tell me to greet you with him and send you a few old ginseng sticks to nourish you. It is conceivable that Liu Fujun really prefers clan relatives in the mouth of Zhang County, otherwise, the post supervisor is obviously bigger than me and other positions, so why should he be courteous when he has nothing to do? ”

Liu Shi paced back and forth excitedly, "I didn't expect it to be so fast for my father." When I heard this, I couldn't help myself. Deran, what do you say you should do as a father? Going to take office now? Or do you go to Dingxing to observe for a period of time, take a good look at the people's livelihood, and understand which people are the head snakes, so that you can adapt to the situation when the time comes, or win over, or knock on it? ”

The two-day life of the county obviously made Liu Shi gradually familiar with the affairs of the county government, and Liu Zheng was also quite pleased with the transformation of his father, and then came back to his senses and asked, "What about uncle?" ”

"Gone last night!"

Liu Shi shook his head, and couldn't suppress a smile on his lips, "If I had known that there would be an appointment today, why would my father have to leave your uncle and aunt behind, and we will go over together in a few days." But don't worry, Chen Ping drove them back in a carriage, and what your uncle and aunt want to do, Chen Ping will let him do it himself when the time comes. If Chen Ping wants to come back, it may take ten days and a half to live. ”

Hearing that Liu Shi did not keep Li Yan and his wife, Liu Zheng was a little disappointed, no matter how you look at the 100-point commander, it is a little tempting, but now Liu Zheng does not dare to push too hard, he has already made Li Yan pay so much, and it is estimated that it is impossible to ask Li Yan to use it for him.

However, what Li Yan said before going out last night also said that if there is a difficulty here, he is also willing to help, Liu Zheng thought of this, and said in a deep voice: "Since my uncle has gone back, my father might as well go over quietly and find out about the situation in Dingxing when the time comes." In addition, you can also ask your uncle to serve as the county lieutenant, and the cadres under the county lieutenant are also invited by your uncle to work with some rangers. With my uncle pressing over there, there shouldn't be a problem. ”

"That's what a father thinks, too."

Liu Shi nodded, but he was still distressed: "But even your uncle is just a person, and he has no experience as a father, so how can he recruit a few more people who can dance and write?" The county, the main book, the gongcao...... You have to be literate, and you have to have a certain amount of knowledge. For his father, he also wanted to govern Dingxing well. ”

Liu Zheng thought of Yan Yu, and his heart moved: "Dad, you say...... How about I ask my aunt to call someone from the Yan family, and then my aunt will give advice behind my back? ”

"You mean...... Involve your aunt in officialdom? ”

Liu Shi was taken aback, thinking that Liu Zheng couldn't refuse what he thought of now, he couldn't help but say solemnly: "Deran, are you serious?" ”

"Dad, I've already let my aunt hide behind others, what gossip can others say? What's more, it won't necessarily be discovered. ”

Liu Zheng also knew Liu Shi's scruples, after all, since ancient times, he has been very disgusted with women's participation in officialdom, even if he is pointing from the side, it is taboo, explaining: "You and I also took a look at my aunt's ability last night, she is well versed in personnel, and she will never let you suffer." What's more, she knows the general situation, and the characters she selected from the Yan family will naturally not be bad. ”

"As long as the Nayan family is obedient, and then the uncle and aunt give more guidance behind them, even if the Nayan family can't be the county leader, it should be enough to be the master bookkeeper and gongcao. First, it solves your urgent need, second, we can go further with the Yan family, and third, my uncle will do his best for the sake of my uncle's face. ”

When Liu Shi heard this, he also felt that it was good to ask Yan Yu to help, but he was still worried that this was a bad move, and he was also afraid that Liu Zheng would act arbitrarily, so he turned around and refused: "But the Yan family is a businessman." ”

"What about businessmen in extraordinary times? can govern the city, I don't even care about men and women, and I don't care what his background is! As long as there is no mistake in the general direction of character, it is not impossible to correct it. ”

"......"

Liu Shi wanted to refute, but Liu Zheng came to his senses and said with a smile: "Dad, just say it directly, what are your concerns?" ”

“…… Since you have seen through it, the Father has to remind you. ”

Liu Shi laughed dryly, thought about it, and said frankly: "It's like what you said to your uncle last night, asking Ah Cheng to practice martial arts in front of people, not to leak martial arts, or you learned it in the competition, these are all clever, you should also know that if you put it on the rivers and lakes and steal the teacher to learn the arts, you will be abolished by others." ”

"Daddy wants me not to go against the grain?"

Not really...... In the final analysis, you are doing the right thing, so you have to make use of everything you can, and you can still accept it as a Father. What's more, your aunt's words last night did advance and retreat, and she was ashamed of her father. It's just for my father to advise you, don't be too attached to everything, there are some things you can't do, just give up. If everything goes your way, you may be sinned in the future...... For the father, remember your tiger and wolf aspirations, but the worldly rules must be obeyed. ”

Liu Shizheng said: "It's like your aunt." That's right, we have no one to use, and using your aunt is killing three birds with one stone. But others will always know, there is no impermeable wall in the world, what do you want those officials to think about working together? In your Liu Yuanqi's eyes, we are not as good as a woman? ”

"What's more, there are Liu Fujun above the father, and there are Jingguan, if anyone knows, what will they think? As a father, he is willing to help you be nepotistic, and he is not afraid of being involved, but if you really want to be crowned a king and worship the marquis, today's move may be a stone that he will smash you to turn over. So this head can't be opened. If you insist on your aunt's help, you should consider the matter of the farm workshop. Naturally, let your aunt decide for herself. ”

Liu Shi said earnestly: "Deran, you have to understand that scholars are all famous. If you can, you still have to cherish your reputation on weekdays, and don't care about anything for the sake of the righteousness of a gentleman. In this way, if he is a father in the future, he really wants to go to the Xun family to propose marriage for you, and he will not be swept away. After a hundred years of being a father and your mother, you can also be free of worries. ”

"Dad, you are in the year of fighting, how can you think about what will happen in a hundred years?"

Liu Zheng smiled bitterly, and then solemnly bowed his hand, "Thank you dad for being able to guide the child, the child understands!" ”

His heart was warm, thinking of the word "scholar", and he said with a flash of inspiration: "Dad, the child remembered, why don't you and I each write a letter to the teacher's house?" Let the teacher help us find candidates, I want to have many connections, and there are many capable people in the clan. Even if I am a little more talented, I can always deceive one or two when I say some righteous words, right? ”

"What do you mean by cheating?"

Liu Shi couldn't cry or laugh, and then he nodded in agreement, and said with a look of relief: "This idea is the most appropriate." ”

He looked at him for a moment, suddenly his face turned bitter, and he hesitated: "You really can't let Xuande come back?" ”

"Dad, my brother acts as a military advisor, which is 10,000 times better than the Dingxing County officials, why drag my brother down again?"

Liu Shi came to his senses, sighed, turned his head and was about to leave, and then turned back and said, "That's right...... Zhang Ren had already moved into the manor last night, and he was seriously injured and couldn't get up, so I asked Qingtan to take care of him. The bamboo slips related to the Heaven Breaking Sword and the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear were all in his hands. Your uncle gave him the bamboo slips to keep them, and he also wanted you to go over and take a look. Don't be too persistent, just treat it as Corporal Lixian, in the future, your uncle Tong knows that it was a misunderstanding for you to challenge him, and there is another reason for injuring Zhang Ren, and he will take the initiative to admit his mistake to Zhang Ren, and he will also look at you differently. ”

"The child understood. When my leg was better, I went to see him. Dad, you also let him rest well, so that he can stay in the village with peace of mind and not see outside. ”

Liu Zheng instructed, and Liu Shi nodded and went out.

A moment later, the sound of Li's babbling sounded in the courtyard, obviously surprised and delighted that Liu Shi had become the county magistrate.

I don't know who publicized it, and the yard began to be noisy.

A large number of people chattered and congratulated Liu Shi, all of them in a high-pitched tone, and everyone naturally understood in their hearts that with the appointment of Liu Fujun, the Liu family was enlightened, and they could also ascend to heaven with them.

Liu Zheng listened to it with a smile for a while, and someone came in outside the door.

Accompanied by Geng Qiuyi, who was holding a basin, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each led a woman with a woman's bun in.
