Above the court, everyone thought that Zhixing and Qi You were also in the top three, and even the lifters in the same period felt that the top three had been decided, but when the list was released, the two were only ranked in the top ten, and the top three were picked up by a son of a thorn in the north, and two low-born lifters. Zhou Hanzheng has fifteen members, and all three of them are in the first category of officials in advance.

Qi You was not surprised by this result, and most of the palace exams gathered in the world were better than him and Zhixing. The saint will not ask anyone to ascend to the sky because of a dedication to the craft, he and Zhixing also know that this craft can only solve the dilemma of King Qi, and let the two of them pass in the court in advance, and these two points have made their imperial examination road a lot easier.

After the list was released, the Zhou family was at its busiest time. At the end of the year, the official assessment, after the palace examination, the emperor handed over all the officials to the ministry, only to the surprise of the officials, the emperor deliberately let go, picked two places, and kept them for Qi You and Zhixing.

Zhou Shilang was not surprised after seeing it, just because he had also chosen this place for the two of them in advance.

Last year's great drought in the north and south was the most serious in the north and around Qizhou, and the displaced people from the north fled to the south one by one, and there was another official road leading directly to the north in Qizhou, and last year's official road was full of refugees who had fled to take care of themselves, and they were constantly receiving displaced people outside, and then they encountered a few inaction in the county order, and the whole Qizhou was a mess, and no one reported until the drought passed.

Angry, the emperor fell in public, resigned for three days in a row, convened several ministers day and night to discuss, and after the discussion, transferred a group of large and small officials from other states to replace those moths who ate the king's fortune and did not worry about the king.

It's a pity that the drought has passed at that time, and even the wild vegetables have grown on the ground after a few rains, and everyone has survived without a meal by relying on wild vegetables as when they returned from spring.

Because there are no new officials to replace, those who have been transferred are as big as the Qizhou Assassin History, and as small as the county commanders in various places, many of them are still in office.

The county order of Songxian County, where Qi You Zhixing is located, was transferred from other states and counties.

Coincidentally, what the emperor kept for Qi You was Songxian, which had only one big town, but surrounded seven or eight poor villages within Xiaoliang Mountain

And Yu County, where Zhixing is going, is adjacent to Song County, and the two county offices are in the towns of the two counties, separated by a wide road.

Qi You knew that the emperor would deliberately choose a suitable place for the two of them, and he himself had mentioned the preferred place to Zhou's father, but he didn't expect the emperor to think so well for them.

And Zhou Han, according to the original path set by the Zhou family, entered the Ministry of Officials Examination and Engineering Department and became a six-grade director, in charge of the year-end assessment of officials, which is an unhindered and safe official position. In addition, the secretary of the ministry was relocated, and Zhou's father was promoted to the rank but not to the official position, and he was transferred from the fifth rank to the third rank.

Then there are various internal adjustments, promotions and depreciations.

After the newly appointed officials thanked them, the emperor issued a summons in a hurry - Song County and Yu County, which were under the jurisdiction of Qi You and Zhixing, were used as trial sites to open caves to make hand-painted porcelain.

and then rewarded the Chungui and Guo families with a plaque of "Loyal Home".

Only then did Kyoto know the reason why Zhixing and Qiyou were summoned alone.

Without waiting for anyone to think about it, there were various directives issued one by one, the official evaluation system, and the rewards and punishments for political performance, and the emperor seemed to have corrected the bad trend at the source.

In this scientific expedition, Qi You Zhixing got what he wanted, and the Zhou family and Guo family also tasted the sweetness accordingly, which can not be described as unsatisfactory.

The daily feast is followed by the time of separation.

Because of its proximity to the Northland, the weather in early winter is also so cold that people shiver, but fortunately, there is a muntjac skin rabbit fur prepared in advance by Chungui, and the two of them were dressed just right when they left, which inevitably thought that Chungui was so thoughtful.

When it was so complete, only Zhou Han still had red eyes, and sighed on Zhixing's shoulder.

"After this, the two of you are on the other end, so close, you can eat together, only I am sitting on a cold bench in Kyoto, I don't know when I will see you again."

If you think about it, most of the half a year has passed so quickly.

"I won't be able to eat Sister Chun's dim sum in the future."

Seeing him like this, Zhixing didn't feel good in his heart: "Don't worry, the Guo family's shop is the true inheritance of Sister Chun, if you still can't get used to it, I'll ask someone to bring it to you when the days are cool in autumn and winter!" There is also the ministry, now that your father has been promoted, and you are the main assessment, it is too late for others to scold you, and they will not give you anger. ”

"Although the two places are far away, there will be a time to meet again."

How could Zhou Han not understand these words, but the parting was imminent, and he always had a seizure.

The happiness of his youth was not much, and it was all in this half a year, and today came to an abrupt end, and he should be sad to show it.

He wiped his eyes, and continued to stuff a bunch of Kyoto specialties into the carriage of the two, saying that this was for Sister Chun, it was for Ah Rong, Min Min, Zhiping Xiao Bao Zhiyuan, and the elders of Xiaoliangshan, he took care of it.

But after stuffing, he was still depressed, Qi You was silent for a moment, and said, "In the spring of next year, a legitimate name invites you to come over." ”

After speaking, he motioned to Zhixing to get into the carriage, and if he twisted it like this, he was afraid that the two of them would not be able to leave even if the sun went down.

By the time Zhou Han reacted, the two carriages had gradually moved away.

Leave him in the same place to ponder secretly, rightfully famous......

His eyes flashed again, and he suddenly laughed.

The news of the good news has always been the fastest, and the good news was passed down by the upper and lower levels of the government one by one, and when Qi You and the two arrived, a bunch of people had gathered at the entrance of the town to greet them.

They had no choice but to get out of the carriage.

When I went, I was two newly grown children, and when I came, I was already a parent official in two counties.

The people are born with a sense of awe for the officials, and at this moment, not only the people of Songxian County, but also Yuxian County rushed over to take a look at their little adults.

When the two got out of the car, they saw that the faces they were usually familiar with each other were all beaming.

Accustomed to eating the outsiders in the spring return shop, the landlord rushed to congratulate.

"The two adults have worked hard all the way, so it's hard! When I came, I saw that the Yue lady was preparing a table of snacks! ”

Speaking of spring return, Qi You's face couldn't help but ease.

The people of Yuxian County are not so casual, they are not familiar with Zhixing's temperament, but they still want to take a few more looks, Zhixing swept over, and saw a little girl looking at him timidly.

He smiled, took a piece of caramel from his cuff, bent down and handed it to the little girl.

Immediately, a woman waved her hand one after another: "Eh! Adult, we can't help it, how can we ask for adult things! ”

Zhixing was stunned by an adult, and then he reacted, the two of them had become parents and officials in the two places, and he hurriedly smiled kindly: "Auntie doesn't have to be so polite, today I am just a junior." Even if I take office in the future, it is nothing to give the child a few pieces of candy. ”

Seeing that the parents and officials were so kind in the future, the people of several Yu counties were excited and happy, and nodded again and again, and some of them were about to run back to report the news.

The little girl blinked, took the caramel and whispered, "Thank you, sir." ”

Listening to Zhixing's ears, my heart can't help but be a little softer.

Even when they arrived at the entrance of the town, they did not want to go back to the carriage, so they followed the group towards their homes.

One after another, many people came from the door of the house or looked out or ran out to follow.

It's not that the county order is not good now, and the natural awe of the parents and officials makes them respect and love the adults now, but seeing that the next one is familiar with each other, he has always been humble, and his character is good and good, and he is very happy when he thinks that there will be a peaceful day in the next few years.

followed all the way, and Cai took the child to meet him at the door early.

Seeing that there were people on the other side of the road, he hurriedly greeted Geng Rong Liuren on both sides of the door with a smile: "Hurry up, set off firecrackers!" ”

The sound of crackling firecrackers sounded out, causing people to laugh and make trouble.

Zhiping Xiaobao was already excited, and immediately rushed up when he saw someone, Qi You Zhixing picked up the child with a smile, and took a few steps to hold Zhimin and Zhiyuan, who were a little shy.

A bunch of people surrounded him like this, and Cai's was proud and happy: "The person who just reported the good news is here!" When I woke up this morning, I felt that the two of you should have arrived, and now you are still busy in the kitchen, and there are dumplings and meatloaf that you two like, and I see that I have made a full table! ”

"That's it, I smell it early in the morning! Guess it's the more lady! ”

When Cai heard this, he said to everyone: "You can rest assured, Chun Gui said that these two officials will rest for two days, and the dim sum in front of the shop will be eaten as you like!" ”

"Ouch, that's a good dare! But really, as soon as there is a happy event, the Yue lady asked us to let go of our stomachs to eat, such a good thing has to come back a few times! ”

"Not really! When these small ones are over, we can eat them as much as we want! ”

Seeing that everyone was laughing and laughing, Cai finished laughing and said, "If you want to say goodbye, can you wait a little longer and let these two eat first!" ”

"Hey! Yes, yes, yes! Look at us! As soon as I'm happy, I forgot that I was tired all the way, so let's not bother or bother! ”

A group of people dispersed separately, and after walking for a while, some people from the next county asked questions, and these people also happily answered, praising Zhixing Qiyou to the sky.

The people of Yu County were very happy to listen to it, and they spent most of the day in the teahouse listening to the people here, and when they returned to their own county, they also said the same to them.

said that the two adults were summoned by the emperor before the palace test, and they were dedicated to their skills and good knowledge, if it weren't for the two adults insisting on going back to their homes, the emperor would not want to let them go!

Everyone listened to it consciously and proudly, and looked proud!

It's only been half a day's work, and Zhixing and Qi You have already had some good reputations.

As for the Liu family, the two put down a few children, and walked to the kitchen together before they had time to laugh.

Seeing the two of them looking at each other, Cai knew that he must have thought about returning to the spring, and hurriedly brought over a few children who were still excited.

In the kitchen, Chungui was busy, ordering the dishes on the small table, while whispering: "Qi You's favorite dumplings are available, Zhixing's meatloaf, and duck soup." I must be tired and panicked when I came here, I have to drink some ginger tea to go to the cold ......"

A thin and small body, going back and forth in the room, Zhixing's eyes were already slightly red.

“…… Sister-in-law. ”

Chun Gui was so busy that he turned back, and he saw two figures who had not been seen for several months, dressed in a big hat.

Zhixing's eyes were red, and Qi You on the side looked at her quietly, the tenderness in his eyes was released little by little, and there were traces of experience between his eyebrows, which caused her to have a slightly sour nose.

She couldn't help but laugh and said, "...... It's back. ”
