Mei Xiaoren was in a fog, walked to Governor Li's mansion and took the booklet, returned to his seat and opened it.

When she saw it word by word, a pair of bright eyes opened wider and wider, and the bottom of her eyes seemed to glow with disbelief.

What a kind of luck it was, when her heart had just fallen to the bottom, a decree came to pull her out of the valley and fulfill her hopes and thoughts

Mei Xiaoren was a little stunned, and Qingying on the side found that a rare smile appeared on the adult's face, after all, he had been drinking solemnly since he came here, not smiling, which was very different from other guests.

Mei Xiaoren couldn't believe his eyes, and said in a daze: "Lord Prefect, this is true"

Didn't Lao Li say yesterday that she should wait, this is coming

Just one day

"Brother Mei, it's true, this time I was going back to my hometown to visit relatives, and I received your order halfway, so I came to run this trip." Director Zhang smiled and raised his glass to Mei Xiaoren, "Brother Mei can live in the sixth grade at a young age, and his future is immeasurable." ”

Mei Xiaoren hurriedly put down the order and picked up the wine glass in return: "Thank you Lord Prefect and Lord Principal for your support." ”

Governor Li nodded, and said lightly: "Good life is ready to prepare, the old man is waiting for you in Xuanzhou, but it is judged that this meal is not as delicious as the county order, you have to make persistent efforts." ”

Mei Xiaoren happily bowed his head, "I should do my best to share the worries of the prefect and live up to the expectations of the prefect." ”

Qingying can only hear it now, no wonder the adults are so happy, my lord, this is a promotion, promoted to Xuanzhou Mansion, and he is leaving

The smile on her face froze, and she quietly poured herself a glass of wine and drank it all.

Mei Xiaoren came out of Cuiying Tower, and the moon was already in the middle of the sky.

When she and Governor Li returned to the mansion, her heart was still full of waves, and she was not only happy but also worried.

Promotion was what she was looking forward to, but when it came to this day, she was a little reluctant to keep the place she had guarded for two years, and reluctant to the group of brothers in the yamen.

When she entered the door, she looked up at the gate of the county government, and her heart was even more complicated.

The prefect had already taken a few steps up the steps, and suddenly stopped and turned around, "Mei Xiaoren." ”

Mei Xiaoren hurriedly stepped forward to obey the order: "My lord." ”

"Come with the old man."

Governor Li left this sentence and quickened his pace and walked into the yamen. Mei Xiaoren followed forward and followed Lao Li into the hall.

At this time, Governor Li's face was not only completely devoid of the joy just now, but also worried, and when he entered the door, he ordered: "Close the door." ”

Mei Xiaoren listened to the order to cover the door, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Governor Li walking to the hall and sitting down, and let out a long sigh.

"What's wrong with my lord" Mei Xiaoren asked, she was a little happy but also a little misty, "Why is this so sudden" Lao Li is here with her, no one else in the court will speak for her, why is she suddenly going to be promoted

"You feel sudden, and the old man feels sudden, but this is your blessing, and you should be congratulated."

Mei Xiaoren smiled happily and said, "It's all thanks to your old man's blessing." ”

"Don't be too happy" Governor Li's face suddenly changed, his expression became extremely serious, and he said coldly, "The state government is not better than your little yamen, there are many people there, and the old man is looking forward to you coming to my side to share the burden for me, but he is also worried that your affairs will be seen out, and there will be extraneous branches, and even the old man will not be able to eat and walk around." ”

Mei Xiaoren understood what Governor Li was referring to, and she had a way to deal with it, but it would take some time. She said: "Humble self-knowledge and shallow knowledge,

Wait until Xuanzhou is self-sufficient"

Governor Li glanced at her, "Wait until you get to Xuanzhou to make up for your knowledge, and you want the old man to accompany you all day long."

"Not really," Mei Xiaoren whispered, frowning.

"Hmph, how can you hide that little ink in your stomach from your colleagues in the state capital. You are a snake here, no one will say anything to you, let alone question you, but when you go to the Yamen of Futai, most of your eyes are staring at you. ”

Mei Xiaoren's heart began to beat the drum. Lao Li was also very happy when he learned that she was going to enter the state capital, why was he afraid of it now

It's true that the bigger the official, the more cautious he is, the more afraid he is.

"When the old man tried to help you, but he took a risk to open up contacts for you, and managed to find a person for you, if you are seen to be shallow in knowledge and not in the middle of the move, wouldn't you want the old man to also have a lawsuit with you"

Mei Xiaoren lowered his eyes and buried his head. This question seems to be unsolvable, after all, no matter how much she learns, she can't make herself full of economy in a short period of time.

The risk will still be a risk, but she can be sure that Lao Li will not let her order stop because of such a risk, because she is her own person in Lao Li's eyes, and Lao Li wishes that the government was full of his own people.

Li Zhifu rubbed the corners of his forehead, and after thinking, he said: "In this way, your appointment will be placed here by the old man first, and the old man will try to keep the appointment for you for a year, and this year you will go to Jinshan Academy and study hard."

Mei Xiaoren was taken aback: "Go read at this time"

"Why, I don't want to" Governor Li looked at her, his eyes added coldness, and his voice became more and more serious.

Mei Xiaoren saw the dark look of Governor Li's mansion, where did he dare to say the word "no", but just politely excused: "My lord, what can I learn in a year?"

"Jinshan Academy is the head of Daning's official school, and it will definitely be able to cure people like you who are sparse and shallow." After Li Zhifu finished speaking, he patted the handrail to show that he had finalized, "This matter is so decided, tomorrow the old man will write you a letter of recommendation, recommending you to study in Jinshan Academy, you explain that the affairs of the yamen are to go to study, and after you complete your studies, you will come to the old man to work as an errand under him." ”

"My lord" Mei Xiaoren begged with a bitter face, "Your old man really doesn't think about it anymore"

Governor Li not only didn't let go, but suddenly became angry: "Hmph, the old man has helped you again and again, not only are you not grateful, but you also want the old man to take risks with you."

Mei Xiaoren shook his head again and again, "That's not what it means. ”

Governor Li stood up, his expression was still like ice, and he said in a non-negotiable tone: "Either go to study, or stay here as your county magistrate, you choose."

Mei Xiaoren looked at the order on the table that she hadn't covered hot, and pursed her lower lip. It was a piece of fat that she had just eaten in her mouth, and there was no reason to spit it out.

Xuanzhou Mansion's general judgment, Zheng Liupin is an exceptional promotion this time, such an honor, what reason does she have to give up

It's just to make up for her knowledge, she has survived two years of being entangled in trivial matters in the county, and reading a year of study can be more bitter than being a county magistrate

Mei Xiaoren gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, go to your job"

The clouds on Governor Li's face dissipated, and he stroked his beard and sighed: "This is what the old man appreciates." ”

The night passed.

Mei Xiaoren's promotion is still only known to her and Governor Li, and she has not told anyone else.

As soon as the order was issued, she thought that there should be some time before handing over the county order seal, at least until the new county official took office, who knew that Lao Li handed over the recommendation letter to her early the next morning, gave her five days to clean up, and left for Jinzhou in five days.
