Old lady Gao looked around, since there was no place to sit, it was impossible to sit on the ground, so he could only bow his head and stand, and said with a smile: "Sir, the old man is here to make amends, last time ......"

"I don't need to explain." Lu Jinping interrupted him, "Let's explain the intention directly." ”

Old lady Gao looked a little embarrassed, smiled and said: "The lord is like a god, and the little girl's illness can be saved except you, so I would like to implore the lord to save the little girl's life regardless of the past suspicions and in a compassionate heart." -- This is an honorarium. ”

With that, Old Lady Gao glanced back at his wife. Mrs. Gao hurriedly stepped forward and put the box of money and jewelry on the ground in front of Lu Jinping, and opened the money box, revealing several strings of dazzling gold and silver jewelry and a bunch of yellow, orange and orange copper coins.

Lu Jinping didn't look down, just looked at Old Lady Gao, but didn't speak.

Mrs. Gao glanced at her husband, and said to Lu Jinping with a smile in a low voice: "Sir, if you can save our daughter's life and cure her illness, all this money and jewelry will be given to you." If you are willing to come to our Gao family to be a door-to-door son-in-law, it is also possible, our master has promised that whoever saved his daughter's life, as long as he is willing, can be recruited as a door-to-door son-in-law. Of course, the lord is also a famous family, if the lord doesn't want to be a son-in-law and wants to marry our daughter, this matter is not negotiable......

Lu Jinping still looked at them expressionlessly, and when he saw Old Lady Gao and a few of them with straight hair, he didn't know what he thought.

For Old Lady Gao, they have exhausted all the methods they can think of, and the rest can only be decided by Lu Jinping. The third aunt had already made up her mind, if Lu Jinping was still unwilling to save her daughter, she knelt down and begged, and her father asked her mother to save her baby daughter's life.

Finally, Lu Jinping spoke: "I don't have any interest in being your son-in-law, and I'm not interested in marrying your daughter." However, I can save your daughter, and I don't want you a penny, as long as Mrs. Gao helps me do something. ”

When the old lady Gao heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, to be honest, he would rather spend money than let Lu Jinping come to his house as a son-in-law, after all, he still couldn't accept the fact that Lu Jinping spent money to buy officials, and he didn't want a loser who bribed and bought officials to become his son-in-law, although he was his daughter's savior. Now I heard Lu Jinping actually say that as long as he helps him do one thing, he can save his daughter's life, such a good thing is really pie in the sky, I don't know what he wants to do by himself? Hurriedly arched his hand and said, "What does the lord command?" As long as the old man can do it, he will obey it. ”

"I want to reorganize my Lu family's family business, there is only one way, and that is to become an official. Therefore, my condition is to let Mrs. Gao help me find an official position in the same state capital. -- Note that it is an official position, not an errand, so don't prevaricate me with a bureaucracy, a quick catcher, or the like, I want a high-ranking court official, and a criminal officer in charge of the yamen's investigation of cases. ”

Old lady Gao couldn't imagine that since he put forward such a condition, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and he didn't want to think about it, so he flatly refused: "Absolutely impossible!" I will never seek an official position for anyone else! ”

When his wife and concubine heard this, they couldn't help but feel cold, they originally thought that the conditions proposed by Lu Jinping were still easy to do with the conditions that the old lady had served as a waiter in the ministry, but he didn't expect the old lady to flatly refuse, which meant that his daughter's life would be over. The third aunt first cried whining, he didn't dare to ask the old lady, he could only be sad, the second aunt was too busy to persuade the side, looking at Mrs. Gao beside her with tears in her eyes, hoping that she could persuade the eldest lady.

Mrs. Gao frowned and sighed, as if she was talking to herself, and as if she was saying to the two concubines: "The old lady has been an honest official all her life, how can she do such a thing?" In order to save his daughter, he did something against his conscience, didn't that ruin the master's reputation for a while? We can't be too selfish and help unscrupulous people get official positions. ”

Ye Qingqing, who was next to her, heard her say that the lord was an unscrupulous person, and her willow eyebrows were upside down, and she was about to have a seizure. However, the lord was talking, and she had no right to interject as a girl, so she could only stare at Mrs. Gao viciously with a pair of almond eyes.

Lu Jinping glanced at Mrs. Gao, stood up, put his hands behind his back and said, "I heard that our Datang is going to be an official, in addition to the imperial examination, you can also pass the recommendation of a high-ranking official." Old lady Gao used to be a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and it should be no problem to promote me as a minor official in the same state. And the reason why I want to be a criminal officer responsible for solving cases is because I have a hobby and ability in this area, and I can guarantee that I will never let you down as a criminal officer. ”

Old lady Gao exhaled angrily: "No matter how clever your tongue is, I will never agree!" ”

Lu Jinping shrugged: "It doesn't matter, since that's the case, please go back." ”

With that, take a step and go out.

The third aunt knew that once Lu Jinping walked out of this room, it would mean that her daughter's life would be in vain, the mother-daughter relationship was deep, where could she take care of anything else, she knelt on the ground with a bang, and said in a wailing voice: "Sir, don't go, please save my daughter's life, woo woo......"

Lu Jinping's footsteps did not slow down at all, and continued to walk towards the door.

The third aunt was desperate, turned around and threw herself at the feet of the old lady Gao, hugged his legs and shook and said, "The old lady begs you, you just promise him, isn't it just to get an official position?" He has promised that he will not let you down, believe him, since he has such medical skills at a young age, it means that he must have extraordinary abilities and will definitely be able to be a good official. Don't you also have the duty to promote talents for the imperial court? Please, sir......"

Seeing that Lu Jinping was about to step out of the threshold with his legs raised, he hurriedly said, "Sir, please stay!" ”

Lu Jinping stood still and didn't look back, as if waiting for his next words.

Old lady Gao thought about it, gritted his teeth and said, "That's it, the old man recommended you to be a doctor of medicine in the same state capital, how about it?" Your medical skills are up to the task, and it makes sense to recommend you. ”

The imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty was far less developed than that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and most of the officials in the Tang Dynasty, in addition to hereditary, were mostly recommended by high-ranking officials to become officials, and the high-ranking officials of the imperial court were also obliged to find and promote talents for the imperial court, and they were responsible for the virtue of the sponsor. Therefore, the old lady Gao categorically refused before, because he felt that Lu Jinping spent money to buy officials to show his inferior character, so he was unwilling to protect himself, and he was also wise to protect himself, so as not to affect himself in the future. But what the third aunt said just now made him think that Lu Jinping's medical skills are very clever, and his daughter's illness can't even be cured by the imperial doctor in the palace, but he can cure it, and it is reasonable to recommend him to be a doctor in the same state government, so he relented and put forward this suggestion.

The doctor of medicine in the state capital Yamen was one of the lowest-ranking officials in the Tang Dynasty, from the ninth rank down. Equivalent to the current director of the health department.

Lu Jinping shook his head, finally turned to look at the old lady Gao, and said, "I'm not interested in a doctor of medicine, I just want to be a criminal officer who solves cases, this is my dream." ”

Mrs. Gao didn't expect Lu Jinping to be interested in an official who solved the case, frowned and said, "I don't know if you have this talent, how can I protect you?" ”

"As I said, I'm going to let you know that there's nothing wrong with your bailout, and you have to trust me just as you have to trust my medical skills. If you need time to think, I can give you time, but your daughter probably won't give you time, so you have to decide as soon as possible. ”

Old lady Gao couldn't help but shudder when she heard her daughter's words, and she muttered for a while, but she still resolutely said, "No! I believe in your medical skills, I can guarantee you to be a doctor of medicine, this is on the basis of your excellent medical skills, but I don't know your ability to solve cases, so I can't guarantee you as a criminal officer, this is my principle of life, I have asked myself to be honest and honest in my life, and I am upright. Even if you threaten my daughter's life, I can't agree! ――――――――――ps: The first season of the online quarterly drama of the same name, adapted from Lao Mu's novel "The Story of the Concubine", is now being broadcast live on the network PPTV cohesion, as long as you log in to the PPTV website.
