Zhou Chun is indeed very different from the beginning, wearing a deep coat with exquisite texture, wearing a gauze hat, inlaid with a piece of fine mutton fat jade in the middle, a gold silk brocade belt around his waist, a jade pendant hanging around his waist, and his cheeks are also white and fat, which looks quite official.

Zhou Chun blushed and said with a little embarrassment: "If you don't want to, don't laugh at me anymore." ”

"I'm not laughing at you, I'm just joking with you."

Li Yanqing sat down opposite him and asked with a smile, "Is there any news?" ”

Zhou Chun couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, nodded and said, "I was notified by the Ministry of Officials this morning that I was awarded the county lieutenant of Tangyin County!" ”

Li Yanqing was a little surprised, he just made a suggestion, and it actually came true, the Gao family really has connections.

"Then congratulations brother!"

"Where! Where! In the future, I will ask the virtuous brother to take care of me. ”

"I should ask you to take care of it."

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "You are the official of my hometown parents, and I will ask you for help in many things in the future, but you are not allowed to refuse." ”

"As long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best to help."

At this time, a maid served them tea, and Li Yanqing took a sip of tea and asked, "When will the virtuous brother report for duty?" ”

"The ministry asked me to go to Tangyin County in a month to take office, and I plan to report to the ministry first, and then go home to get married, and go to Tangyin County immediately after getting married."

"The marriage is done in my hometown?"

Zhou Chun shook his head, "It's going to be done in the capital, I'm going to take my parents to Bianjing, and my grandfather may not be able to come." ”

At this time, Zhou Chun remembered something and said with a smile: "There is another thing that may surprise you, I just got the news that my grandfather may be going to teach at Lushan Academy." ”

Li Yanqing was really taken aback, "Your grandfather went to Lushan Academy......."

"I didn't expect that I heard that the teachings of Lushan School were my grandfather's former students, and he invited my grandfather several times, and my grandfather finally agreed."

The teaching of Lushan Academy is Yao Wannian, it turns out that he is a student of Zhou Chun's grandfather, which is unexpected!

"From now on, I will ask County Lieutenant Zhou to take care of Lushan Academy."

"It should be! You're welcome! ”

The two looked at each other and laughed together.

At this time, the housekeeper said in the hall: "Outside the little officer, Zheng Xiaoguan is here." ”

It was Zheng Fatzi who came, and Zhou Chun immediately got up and said, "I don't see him, I'll leave first, and I'll invite the virtuous brother to drink next time!" ”

Li Yanqing knew that it was Zhou Chun who robbed Zheng Fatzi of Tangyin County Lieutenant, and the two were embarrassed to meet, so he hurriedly asked the housekeeper to take Zhou Chun to leave through the side door.

Li Yanqing walked quickly to the front hall, and saw Zheng Rongtai looking around at the house.

"You don't think it's your first time here!" Li Yanqing said with a smile.

"This official is inspecting the people!" Zheng Rongtai shook his head solemnly.

Li Yanqing couldn't help laughing, "You dare to say it again, watch me beat you out with a stick." ”

"Dare to disrupt the people, dare to see this official and not worship?"

Li Yanqing stretched out his hand to get a stick, and Zheng Rongtai was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand, "Just kidding, just kidding, Lao Li must not take it seriously!" ”

"It seems that Brother Zheng has got a good errand!"

"It's not a good errand, but it's okay to mess around."

Zheng Rongtai touched his stomach, "It's noon, why don't we go have a drink?" ”

"Good! Just go to the Tongde Restaurant on the street for a drink. ”

The two walked to the Tongde Restaurant on the street, the scale of this restaurant can only be considered medium, the wine is average, the food is not bad, Li Yanqing comes here to eat almost every day.

There are not many people eating at noon, and the whole restaurant seems deserted, only a few guests are drinking on the first floor, and there is no bartender outside the gate to welcome customers.

Li Yanqing took Zheng Rongtai into the restaurant, and the bartender who was mopping the floor hurriedly threw down the mop to greet him, "It turned out to be Tanhualang, come to drink at noon!" ”

"Bring a friend for a drink, can I go up to the second floor?"

"Yes! OK! Two upstairs please. ”

The two went up to the second floor, picked a seat by the window and sat down, and Li Yanqing ordered a pot of wine and a few side dishes.

"Let's talk about it! What kind of beauty difference did you get? Li Yanqing asked with a smile.

Zheng Rongtai lowered his voice and said: "I will be appointed as a straight man from Bapintong, and I will be in charge of the iron case in the Ministry of Industry." ”

The iron case was originally one of the eight cases under the jurisdiction of the deputy envoy of salt and iron under the three divisions, in charge of the world's iron smelting and pig iron supply, with great power, after the restructuring of Yuanfeng, the three divisions were withdrawn, and the functions and powers of the three divisions were returned to the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, and the pig iron was also under the management of the Ministry of Industry, but the Ministry of Industry only promulgated various rules and systems for pig iron, and the specific policy implementer was Shaofu Temple.

Since the iron case can directly approve the strips for the businessman to go to the mine to buy pig iron, the oil and water are huge, Li Yanqing was secretly surprised, this kid actually got such a fat difference?

Generally, Jinshi is a nine-grade official to start with, only the top three can be awarded the eight-grade official, and the top twenty can be awarded from the eight-grade official, Zheng Fatzi is obviously because of the prince, and he is an exceptional official, and he is also a real official.

Zheng Rongtai sighed, "Actually, my family still hopes that I can be an official in Xiangzhou, and I have always been optimistic about the county lieutenant of Tangyin, but His Royal Highness the prince is not very willing, he prefers that I can stay in the imperial court, but the county lieutenant of Tangyin was snatched away, which is regrettable!" ”

"Sorry fart!"

Li Yanqing scolded: "You are now from the eighth grade, and you are only from the Jinshi, you still miss the county lieutenant, I see that your head is flattened by the door." ”

"I don't like to do things in the court, I prefer to take my entourage to the countryside with a majestic look, and when I see an old farmer who is not pleasing to my eyes, I will whip him, and I don't understand anything about the iron case, so I can only sit on the cold bench."

"Be content!"

At this time, the bartender served them drinks and food, and Li Yanqing poured Zheng Rongtai a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about official positions anymore, I haven't heard any news yet!" It's uncomfortable to listen to, let's talk about the news of Bianjing, and what lace news has been there recently. ”

"What lace news can there be, it's nothing more than catching a wedding!"

Zheng Rongtai paused, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Do you know?" Something happened to Master Li. ”

Li Yanqing looked surprised, "What happened to her?" ”

"This is top-secret news, don't go out and spread it, you're going to be arrested."

"I won't pass it on, you just say it."

Zheng Rongtai looked to both sides and made sure that there was no one on the second floor, so he said in a lower voice: "She was robbed by several bandits, it has been almost ten days, her whereabouts are unknown, she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead, and the thieves can't catch her." ”

"What about the people in the house? Didn't anyone see the thieves? ”

"I heard that her two personal maids were also robbed, and the remaining nine were all killed, none of them survived, and the case was not allowed to be filed, so they could only investigate secretly, but they couldn't find any clues at all."

This news is the same as the news that Li Yanqing got five days ago, there is no progress, but Li Yanqing also has to admire Liang Shicheng's ruthless methods, as long as one of them does not die, I am afraid that it is him Li Yanqing who is dying now.

In this matter, he made a lot of mistakes, blind, impulsive, and he was lucky enough to meet Liang Shicheng's selfishness, so he was able to get out temporarily, but he would be controlled by Liang Shicheng for several years.

"Lao Li, you said that since Master Li is the woman of the Son of Heaven, why didn't he send an army to protect him? In the end, it was given to the thieves for nothing, what a pity! ”

"Doesn't sending troops to protect you admit the rumors of the people? The Son of Heaven strictly forbade the minister to raise other housewives, but he himself did this kind of thing, everyone in the world knew about it, where did he put his face? ”

"I don't care about that!"

Zheng Rongtai sighed again, "To be honest, I haven't seen what Master Li looks like, what a pity!" ”

The two chatted for a while, Li Yanqing settled the account, Zheng Rongtai said goodbye and left, Li Yanqing slowly walked towards the mansion, at this time, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind him, Li Yanqing turned around, only to see several young officials carrying red cloth briefcases, galloping past him on horseback.

Li Yanqing's heart moved, and he hurriedly chased after him, and sure enough, this group of officials stopped in front of their mansion and was talking to the housekeeper about something?

"Hey, over here!" Li Yanqing waved his hand and shouted.

The housekeeper saw him, and hurriedly pointed at Li Yanqing and said to several officials: "Where is my little staff outside!" ”

Several officials immediately stepped forward and asked Li Yanqing, "But Tanhua Li Yanqing?" ”

"I am!"

"We are engaged in the Ministry of Officials, and we are ordered to announce to you!"

Li Yanqing was overjoyed, his official position finally came, which made him look forward to it and nervous, and he hurriedly asked, "Do you need any ceremony?" ”

"No, it's not a holy decree, you just need to listen to it."

Li Yanqing hurriedly pointed to the door of the mansion and said, "It's inconvenient here, please go to the mansion to announce the official." ”

The three officials followed him into the house, and read aloud for the first official, "Li Yanqing, the third place in the palace examination list, has been approved by the court of judges, his background is innocent, his virtue is good, and he meets the conditions for awarding officials. ”

The Jiedu envoy is also the assistant of the Jiedu envoy, who belongs to the middle-level civil official in the army, and the secretary of the Jiedu is called the right-hand man of the Jiedu envoy.

Li Yanqing hurriedly gave the housekeeper a look, and the housekeeper had already prepared thirty taels of silver and handed it to the three officials as tea money.

The three officials smiled and accepted it, and the leading official smiled: "This morning, the first batch of ten jinshi were conferred, and even the champion has not yet been settled, so I want to congratulate Li Tanhua." ”

"The three of you have worked hard!"

The three of them said goodbye and left, and Li Yanqing breathed a long sigh of relief, he knew that Liang Shicheng had played a role.
