Chapter 50: Promotion to Luoyang

The "dark clouds" that had hung over Zhuojun for more than a month finally dissipated. During this time, the local people frequently gave gifts to my father to show their gratitude, but my father was really gracious, so he had to accept some fruits, food, and return all the gold, silver and jewelry. Dad said that to be an official is to be the master of the people, not to be cheap, not to do things that harm the people. It's also a county order, my dad is really different from the Feng fat man I met in my previous life, at first I compared my dad with him, and even thought that he would be the reincarnation of Feng Fatzi, now think about it, Jane is really messing around, how can they be compared?

There was a "very happy" news from the capital Luoyang: the "hunter" was tortured by Emperor Yang of Sui to divide the corpse of five horses. I feel that the life of the "hunter" is still quite sad, and he finally passed the Jinshi, but he was replaced by Song Yiren, who has the same name and surname in the same township, and he himself has been kept in the dark until he was dying. God seems to have played a joke on him, he has "transformed" from a scholar to a "famous" thief. He escaped the pursuit of Emperor Yang of Sui, but was captured alive in a small county office, after all, he was too arrogant, self-willed, going around for so long, he finally died in the hands of Emperor Yang of Sui, five horses divided into corpses, what a cruel criminal law, and he did not leave a complete corpse until he died, sad! Alas!

Along with the news of the execution of the "hunter", there was also a great good thing - Emperor Yang of Sui sent someone to tell my father that he should go to the capital Luoyang to serve as a waiter in the staff department.

As the county magistrate of Zhuo County, Daddy has always served the people with dedication and high efficiency, and paid special attention to the local production and development of Zhuo County, and strengthened the management of Zhuo County, so that the local people's lives gradually became richer. He also had the courage to crack down on the ugly forces of the local wealthy families, tried his best to balance the social contradictions, and rectified the bad atmosphere in the society, especially in the past month or so, he successively detected the two incidents of "hunter" and Dai Qing murder, I think it is normal for his fame to reach the ears of Emperor Yang of Sui.

Dad's official career is so smooth, naturally it is a good thing, the people of Zhuo County heard about my father's promotion and came to congratulate my father, although I also know that they are definitely not willing to let my father leave Zhuo County, the most eager thing for the people is not to have a person of good character to manage them?

My father went to Luoyang to take up a post, and the family had to follow, and I also knew clearly that this meant that I would also follow my father to leave Zhuo County and be forced to leave Xin'er, but I didn't want to, I said to my father: "Can I not go to Luoyang?" ”

"If you don't go to Luoyang, what do you want to do?" Daddy asked.

"Just stay in Zhuojun!"

"Who takes care of you?"

"I live in Xin'er's house, and her father and mother will take care of me."

"No, you can't!" Dad said, "Luoyang is the capital anyway, I want to send you to the best school to study, you can also meet a group of very good friends, and you can become an official after you take the Jinshi exam, and then go all the way up." ”

"Why do I have to be an official?"

"What are you doing if you're not a function? Being a good official can also benefit the people! ”

"I just want to be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life."

"Doing nothing in your life?" Daddy glared at me, "You're still a kid, you don't understand anything, you have to listen to me in this matter!" ”

My mother may have guessed that I was reluctant to Xin'er, so she deceived me and said, "Xiao Sheng, my mother told you that there are many good-looking girls in Luoyang." ”

"What do you care about me with a lot of good-looking girls? I only like Xin'er, she is irreplaceable in my heart. I said firmly, "And didn't you make a marriage contract for me and Xin'er?" How can you reverse marriage? "Adults are ridiculous, is it true that in their thinking world, we children like each other like to play home?

Daddy's tone suddenly softened, and he said, "We didn't say we were going to reverse the marriage?" You are only temporarily separated from Xin'er, and when you become famous, you can marry Xin'er in style! But the premise is that you have to become very good, so that you can give Xin'er a better life guarantee in the future, and you can get the approval of Xin'er's parents, Xiaosheng, don't you say? ”

They had the right intentions, and it seemed that I couldn't resist them, so I just gave up.

"When are we leaving Zhuojun?" I asked sadly.

"I'll leave for Luoyang tomorrow."

"I'm going to play with Xin'er." During the time when my father was tracking down Dai Qing, Xin'er had already been picked up by her father, and my father didn't worry about me going out, so I stayed at home all the time, so I haven't seen Xin'er for more than half a month, and I really miss her.

"Yes, you can accompany Xin'er today and explain the situation to her." The mother said, "Be careful on the road." ”

I'm still on the kind captain's boat.

"Little prodigy, your father is amazing!" Gong Gong said, "The thief who even Emperor Yang of Sui didn't catch was caught by your father, and he also detected the murder of Steward Dai." Your father has made such a great contribution to Zhuojun, I really admire it from the bottom of my heart! ”

"I'm leaving." I say.

"Let's go? Where to? I haven't docked yet. The captain said puzzled.

"No, I'm leaving Zhuo County, my father was promoted to the Ministry of Works by Emperor Yang of Sui, and we will go to Luoyang tomorrow."

"Oh, I already knew this, who doesn't know in the whole Zhuo County? That's a great thing, but I didn't expect you to leave so soon. By the way, why are you still unhappy about your father's promotion? We're all happy for your father! ”

"But I don't want to leave Zhuojun." I said dejectedly.

"Oh, I see, are you reluctant to give up that little girl?" The captain asked me with a smile.

"Yes, I can't bear her."

The captain laughed and said, "Oh, it's nothing, you want her to come back to see her at any time, and didn't you say that the two of you have already ordered a baby kiss?" Could it be that she is still afraid that she will run away? ”

"I don't know when we will be able to meet." The boat docked, "I went to say goodbye to her, thank you!" "I got off the boat and went to find Xin'er.

Xin'er followed her mother-in-law to learn to be a female celebrity at home, and when she saw me, Xin'er was surprised, and immediately put down her work and followed me out. I took Xin'er's hand and sat by the river, blowing the wind and not saying a word. I didn't know how to speak, I hesitated for a long time, and at the same time I was sad for a long time.

"Brother Xiao Sheng, why did you suddenly come to me today?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen each other for a long time, I miss you very much, so I'll come and see." I still can't say it.

"yes, we haven't seen each other for more than half a month."

"Xin'er, look at this fish, it's so beautiful." I pointed to a red fish in the river.

"Yes, but Brother Xiao Sheng, don't jump down again." Xin'er grabbed my arm tightly.

I wanted to laugh when I jumped into the river to catch fish for Xin'er, and I couldn't swim and struggled in the water......

"Brother Xiao Sheng." Xin'er pulled me back from my thoughts.

"What's wrong, Xin'er?" I asked.

"Your father has been promoted."

"Yes." I replied, "Go to Luoyang to take up the position of the squire of the Ministry of Works." ”

Xin'er smiled and said, "This is a great thing! ”

I suddenly couldn't hold it back, and almost yelled, "It's a good thing, it's a good thing, everyone says it's a great thing, but what kind of good thing is it for me?" Why was I forced to go to Luoyang too? Why do I lose the right to make decisions just because I'm a child? "The resentment in my heart has been vented, and I feel a lot better.

"Brother Xiao Sheng, don't be angry." Xin'er patted me on the shoulder, "When are you leaving?" ”

"Tomorrow."

"So fast!" Xin'er's eyes showed sadness, but she still smiled and said to me, "It's okay, I'll come back if you want to in the future, anyway, you know where my home is, I'll wait for you here, and I'll be your lady." ”

I looked at Xin'er affectionately, didn't say anything, just held Xin'er's hand tightly in mine, as if to prevent her hand from escaping from me. We sat quietly together, without saying a word, looking at the peaceful scenery in front of us, silently observing the quiet and beautiful time......

After returning home by boat, I decided to say goodbye to Chen Lin, and after being with him for so long, the relationship was naturally not shallow, so I came to his home.

"Xiao Sheng, I haven't seen each other for a long time, haha." He greeted me warmly.

"I'm leaving Zhuojun tomorrow." I said, "I'm here today to say goodbye to you." ”

"Let's go to Luoyang? When will you be back? ”

"Yes, I went to Luoyang with my father, and I don't know when I will be able to come back."

"It's so fast!"

"Yes!"

Chen Lin grabbed my shoulders like a big brother, "Don't forget me when you become a big official in Luoyang!" ”

"Of course you can't forget it!" I responded with a smile.

"By the way, did you say goodbye to Xin'er?" He asked me.

"Well, just got back from her house."

……

Early the next morning, the whole family took a boat to Luoyang, and I was so sad that I didn't say a word when I looked at Zhuo County, which was gradually moving away.

It took a long time to arrive in Luoyang, and it is not a loss of the capital, and I have to admit that Luoyang is really beautiful - full of flowers and picturesque. Luoyang south to Yique, north leaning on the mountain, east over the river, Luoshui traversing in the meantime, divided into Guo Xuan, Miyagi, Huangbori, Dongcheng, Hanjiacang City, Yuanbi City and Yaoyi Hori, the scale is grand, the layout is orderly.

In the past, Mr. Wang took me to read Emperor Yang of Sui's "East Palace Spring" - "The sun is shining at the edge of Luoyang City, and the spring swallows return in front of Tianyuan Pond." The peach blossoms with dew have not flown away, and the willows in the wind are self-dependent. The flowers in the small garden are red and the water is green, and the song is like a complicated string. The long-sleeved galloping pearl and jade, long live the spring song of the millennium. "Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I can truly understand the unique beauty of Luoyang, the eastern starting point of the Silk Road in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wei and Jin dynasties.

However, the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen, or Xin'er's smile, I miss Xin'er......
