With the help of the eunuch, Hubu Shangshu naturally heard the news.

After all, he could pretend not to know what was on the emperor's mind, but he had to be unaware of such news that was about to be released throughout the country. Because, if the whole country knows about it, but he doesn't know it, then he can really be called a wreck.

Even the emperor knew that he had the eyeliner of the courtiers around him, and the ministers naturally spoke for themselves, everyone turned a blind eye, as long as it was not excessive, they would not say anything at all.

It's just an open secret.

However, Hubu Shangshu was not in a hurry at all, because the emperor did this just to encourage some people with real talents to come up and do things, not to suppress him. Since this Bai Zhi County is so capable, let him continue to be capable.

Anyway, no matter how capable he is, he is also working under the leadership of the household department, and he can't hide everything from himself. And the achievements made are naturally indispensable to their own part. Therefore, at the critical moment, he will not only not suppress Bai Zhixian, but will also help him.

In many cases, as a boss, in addition to being tolerant of people, you must also know how to make good use of people. Because his subordinates have been rewarded for doing something, they can't run away. What's more, he had already investigated the background of this Baizhi County.

As Master Gu's son-in-law, behind him is naturally the Gu family.

It's just that he has been friends with Master Gu for decades, and he and the Gu family can be regarded as world friends. As for the Qin family, it was even more familiar.

Speaking of which, he also passionately pursued the Qin clan back then.

So, what is he afraid of?

He was only afraid that Bai Zhixian would not work seriously after he came up.

Since this year's longevity fruit planting is staggered, from September to early November, there are fresh longevity fruits to eat almost every month, which greatly satisfies the people who cannot participate in the first national family search conference in Chenjia Village because of something, as well as some guests and businessmen who come from afar.

After development and continuous improvement, Chenjia Village at this time has long been different from what it used to be, and anyone who comes must praise it for being so prosperous.

The happiest are naturally the villagers of Chenjia Village. In addition to the extra silver they have worked hard to earn, it is foreseeable that their dividends at the end of the year will also be particularly generous.

Of course, the villagers of Chenjia Village only got the benefits of money, but their parents, Guan Baizhi County, got both fame and fortune.

Originally, this year's big examination was scheduled to begin on 21 October, and the capital sent several working groups to various prefectures and counties to start the examination. Officials who are outstanding in the appraisal and whose term of office has expired will naturally be promoted to the next level.

However, not sooner or later, His Majesty the Emperor's reward will came to Qingshan County on October 20.

As the saying goes, it's better to come well than to come well, and that's what it means. Just when everyone, including Bai Zhixian himself, was ready to accept the above assessment, a holy decree broke the silence.

And before this, some people who were red-eyed and didn't know the inside story of Bai Zhixian County, seeing that the day of the big exam was approaching day by day, but they didn't see any other will from the imperial court, so they felt in their hearts that no matter how powerful Bai Zhixian was, it was not like them to go through the big exam.

Even if he is determined in the end, he will definitely be promoted, but so what? His Majesty the Emperor didn't treat him favorably, and that's what they really minded.

Everyone knows that now it is necessary to take the exam every time you enter, that is to say, there is no other way than to take the big exam. However, those who can be appointed by His Majesty the Emperor are another matter, and naturally they are not among them.

Hubu Shangshu had already received the news, so he had already sent a letter to Gu Fu Xiushu to inform him of the news that he was still on the way. After receiving the letter from an old friend, Master Gu was full of relief, feeling that his son-in-law had finally given him a face.

You must know that since he and Gu Xixi got married, along the way, the Gu family has always supported him behind his back, no matter how big or small, they have come forward to handle it.

Now, the young man is growing his wings, and he is slowly flying into the sky. They can finally tease their grandson with confidence.

It's just that he and the Qin clan have surprisingly the same opinion, that is, they don't plan to tell Bai Zhixian all this in advance. Anyway, the news is still on the way, so let it be on the way, it's okay to even slow down, just to hone and hone his character.

I'm not afraid of triple jumps, I'm afraid of getting carried away.

The capital is no better than Qingshan County, where there are many more unspoken rules and more things to pay attention to. If Bai Zhixian does not change his self-respecting temperament in the world, and then he is so arrogant and arrogant, even if he goes to the capital, it will be difficult to get mixed up.

In this way, when he was a little crazy to the point of disappointment and then despair and completely calmed down to prepare for the big exam, the eunuch entered the city gate.

Bai Zhixian naturally learned the news as soon as possible, so he personally rode a horse to greet him. At this moment, he believed Ye Feng's words, that is, the imperial court would definitely have the will to reward him, but he didn't know which day.

Of course, he hoped that the will of the reward would be able to come before the big exam, and that he would be proud in front of others. Who knows, this will is indeed before the big exam, but it is too late.

But it's late, it's in time for the big exam.

The eunuch's surname is Lin, and he has been in the palace for many years, so he naturally knows the bottom of Baizhi County clearly. These are the fathers-in-law, and it is important to do this. If the intelligence work is not done well, and a kick is kicked on the steel plate, it will really be over.

Therefore, seeing Bai Zhixian come to pick him up in person, he was naturally very happy, and felt that this person would know how to do it, and his future was limitless.

After passing the will, Gonggong Lin took the large silver ticket that Bai Zhixian had prepared a long time ago, and his heart blossomed. What's more, he got this kind of food, the longevity fruit, which is already famous all over the world.

Moreover, it is not one, what is marinated, boiled, secret, fried, raw and pureed, he took some of the same, and waited to take it back to the palace to offer treasures.

Under the deliberate arrangement of Baizhi County, Lin Gonggong, who originally said that he had no time, deliberately took a day out to go to Chenjia Village.

To say that this Gonggong Lin has also been to a lot of places over the years, and he has been in the palace all the year round, so he naturally has some knowledge. It's just that when I arrived in Chenjia Village, I was still a little shocked. In this way, it is still a village, and speaking of which, it is better than some of the states and counties he passed along the way.

It seems that after going back, I have to talk to the emperor well.

Suddenly turned his head and saw Bai Zhixian who had been smiling at him, and Gonggong Lin understood in his heart. This Bai Zhi County is simply full of heart, and Ming Li said that he was taking himself to play, but in fact, he didn't want to say it in front of the emperor.

However, he was happy to make such calculations.

The scenery of Chenjia Village is acceptable, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and there are many delicacies. The key is that when the emperor is happy, the reward will naturally not be less.

It's just a lot of win, and everyone is happy.

In this way, Gonggong Lin was successfully sent away, and Bai Zhixian completely relaxed, and Fu began to ecstasy again. All the officials, whether they were jealous, red-eyed, or dissatisfied, all poured towards him, and all kinds of compliments and flattering words made Bai Zhixian flutter.

Haha, this will is even better than he imagined! He thought that he was just skipping the big exam and taking up the post in advance, where would he have thought that it would be so good to be promoted to three levels in a row!

Knowing this news, Gu Xixi was naturally happy, of course, it was more about socializing and busy. The men were busy complimenting in front of Bai Zhixian, so the women naturally came to Gu Xi. Of course, there are direct and implicit, and they are all received one by one.

Who made her the president of the Liqun Society?

At the same time, Bai Zhixian came to Chenjia Village and personally conveyed his appreciation and praise to the volunteers on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, and distributed the emperor's rewards one by one, and the people who were moved were in a mess.

When they got the set of pen, ink, paper and inkstones, some of the volunteers cried on the spot. To be honest, when they first came to sign up, many of them just thought about it because they were abducted, or they really couldn't survive.

How do you know that you still have today?

During this time, they have been very tired, training and helping people find their relatives. However, it has never been more fulfilling. What's more, they helped a lot of people.

It's exciting to think about the scene of trying to help people find their relatives and watching each other hug their heads and cry.

In addition, the most unexpected thing is that Kang was also given the title of "lady" by His Majesty the Emperor on an exception. You must know that in the current dynasty, not everyone can afford Mrs., this is a five-grade fate.

It's just that Yin Liren doesn't have a title, and neither does the old lady of the Yin family, let alone the concubines of the Yin family. In this way, no one will dare to say anything even if Kang's family walks sideways in the Yin family in the future. The mere title of this edict is enough to scare them away.

Of course, the title of Kang's is an idle seal, and there is no fief and no wealth, but it is just an honor. However, even so, it is something that many people can't ask for.

Seeing that everyone was happy, Bai Zhixian said again: "His Majesty the Emperor has granted your request to return to your hometown to help with the work. So from now on, in order to ensure the normal operation of the county's family search work after you leave, we have recruited another group of volunteers. All you have to do is do your best to teach these volunteers within fifteen days. ”

Originally, it was no problem for them to leave immediately, but it was a big deal to let Ye Feng go out again and retrain. But Ye Feng always shouted tired, and said that it was best to do a good job of handover in advance for this kind of work, and do a good job of "passing on the help".

When Bai Zhixian heard this, although he knew that Ye Feng wanted to be lazy, he felt that he was reasonable, so he agreed.

Since the news that these volunteers were commended by His Majesty the Emperor came out, and I heard that Baizhi County was going to recruit a new batch of volunteers, many people rushed to sign up. Bai Zhi County asked Ye Feng to be the recruiter, asked some questions, and selected the fifty people who were relatively good.

After doing this, Bai Zhixian said to Ye Feng: "Let's go, go to the county, I have to thank you well." Speaking of which, you have also contributed a lot to the promotion of your stepfather this time. ”

In the end, I still know how to be grateful, but I am not a white-eyed wolf.

In this regard, Ye Feng hurriedly thanked him modestly, and slapped Bai Zhixian's sycophants, saying that he was just doing his best, mainly relying on Bai Zhixian's amazing talents, which made Bai Zhixian very happy.

Who knows, as soon as Ye Feng left with his front foot, the shopkeeper Ye came in a carriage.

After two or three months of recuperation, Yao Wushuang's fetal image has been completely stabilized. Yesterday, I went to the doctor to take a look, and the doctor looked at it for a long time, and said that the pulse of the fetus was strong, and nine times out of ten it was a male fetus.

As soon as Yao Wushuang was happy, the whole family was naturally happy, and the Yao family even sent a lot of supplements to greet them, as well as some gifts, which was simply shared by everyone. Shopkeeper Ye came this time to take Ye Feng back to the city to celebrate.

It's no wonder that Mrs. Yao is willing to hemorrhage to buy gifts for silver, it is really that the Yao family's generation is very similar to Gu Xixi's family, but they gave birth to two daughters.

Qin and Yao Wushuang's mother, the Lin family, was originally a rival in love, and the two of them liked Master Gu together, but who knew that Master Gu finally chose the Qin family, emotionally, the Lin family temporarily had the upper hand.

Later, both of them gave birth to daughters and had no sons, which was considered a draw.

It's just that Gu Xixi had an accident later, and the Lin family vaguely knew about it, and the Qin family and the eldest daughter were not on good terms, so the Lin family gradually gained the upper hand.

Later, the eldest daughters of the two were married, they were both families, and they were all daughters, but there was nothing to compare. When Gu Xixi married Bai Zhi County, he had a son and a daughter, and a son some time ago.

And Yao Wushuang survived to the age of an old girl, but he married a small shopkeeper in Gu Xixi's shop, and he never came out, and the Lin family lost thoroughly.

Who knows, Yao Wushuang was pregnant some time ago, and now it has been proven that she is pregnant with a son, so the Lin family has rekindled their fighting spirit.

Hmph, the road is still long, so she won't admit defeat.

didn't receive Ye Feng, but many enthusiastic villagers surrounded him and said to Ye Shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, you are late." Ye Feng was picked up by the magistrate, and he just walked for a while, so you must have seen it when you came. ”

Shopkeeper Ye thanked him, feeling a little sullen in his heart.

Ever since Yao Wushuang hinted that Bai Zhixian was not a good person, knowing that Ye Feng was his son, and he had to be the first step-by-step to be a step-by-step, and kept him in the dark, he was a little reluctant to see the other party.

It's good now, their family wants to have a reunion dinner and it depends on the grace of Bai Zhi County, what is this.

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Ye immediately got on the horse and walked straight to the city. When he entered the city, he went directly to the county office and waited outside the door. Most of the officials knew the shopkeeper Ye, so they let him wait outside.

This time, Bai Zhixian called Ye Feng to come, but it was just a whim, and he originally wanted to reward Ye Feng with some silver and books.

These books are not ordinary books, they are all about farming, and many of them are still unique books, which he finally found by asking someone to find them. As a result, he had a very happy conversation with Ye Feng along the way, and after giving Ye Feng books, he took Ye Feng away from the back door of the county government and went out to eat and celebrate.

Shopkeeper Ye waited for a long time, but he didn't see Ye Feng come out, so he asked someone to go in and ask. Who knows, the official said: "The shopkeeper, but it's really unfortunate, the lord took your son-in-law to dinner, but they went through the back door, so we didn't notice." In this way, when Childe comes back, we will tell him. Why don't you go back first? ”

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Ye thanked the other party, and then went home depressed. This Bai Zhi County is really a "bad guy", and like Gu Xixi, he specializes in robbing his "things". Come to think of it, this is really "not a family, not a family".

Back at home, everything was ready, and when the Ye family saw that the Ye shopkeeper had come back alone, the Wu family took the lead in asking, "Hey, where is the eldest brother Ye Fengren?" ”

For the hospitality in Chenjia Village, the Wu family had a good impression of Ye Feng.

Ye Feng's grandparents also asked, "Yes, what about my eldest grandson, why didn't he come back with you, is he sick?" ”

Last time, Ye Feng took the family around the village and lived for ten days, and took care of the food, drink, and play, so everyone's impression of Ye Feng was very good, especially the Wu family, she has always liked Ye Feng, an unmarried young man, and she has silver and looks not bad, she is simply the best candidate for her mother's family to marry in person.

Shopkeeper Ye had no choice but to say sullenly: "It's really a coincidence, I just went, but I didn't know that the county magistrate called him over, and it was said that there was something to discuss." ”

When Ye Feng's grandparents heard this, they rejoiced again, and said happily: "My grandson is amazing, and he has won the favor of the magistrate at a young age. ”

Yao Wushuang listened, and just smiled contemptuously.

What's this, before, she was also confused, and she didn't run to the county government one day. Now, hehe, she's too lazy to go.

The family eaten, and it stands to reason that the lack of Ye Feng has no effect. However, Shopkeeper Ye has been sullen. Yao Wushuang probably knew the reason in his heart, not only did he not persuade him, but instead fanned the flames on the side, making Shopkeeper Ye even more unhappy.

Therefore, when Ye Feng had dinner with Bai Zhixian, and was told by the official that his father had found him in the morning, he went to Yao Wushuang's house with the smell of wine.

Seeing that Ye Feng came back, he still brought a lot of books and silver, and smelled the smell of wine, the shopkeeper Ye was even more displeased, and said, "What's the matter, are you still drinking today?" He forced you? I remember you never drank alcohol. ”

Although he didn't know why Shopkeeper Ye had such an attitude, Ye Feng could see it, and he was very unhappy. So he hurriedly said: "No one forced me, but I was happy, and I drank a few glasses for a while, but if it doesn't get in the way, I'll drink water and rest for a while." ”

Although he was dissatisfied, but in the end it was his own son, the shopkeeper Ye suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, poured water for Ye Feng, and chatted with him for a while, and gradually his anger disappeared a lot. I didn't know that the Ye family hadn't slept except for Yao Wushuang, and they were very curious about what Bai Zhixian had talked about with Ye Feng, so they came in one after another.

Seeing that his grandparents were here, Ye Feng hurriedly got up from the bed, put on his clothes and chatted with the second elder for a while. Hearing that Bai Zhixian was just grateful to Ye Feng, and also gave some books and silver, the two elders were very happy, and went to sleep with a smile with honor.

It was the Wu family, who saw a pile of books on the table, she was naturally not interested, but it was the silver tickets that had not yet had time to be put away, and her eyes lit up.

After thinking about it, Ye Feng felt that he couldn't be so stingy, and his own father was still here. As Wu's younger brother-in-law, he naturally wouldn't say anything. Anyway, these things are windfalls, and I think there are too many people who have been giving gifts recently, so Bai Zhixian took a little bit out of his teeth and gave it to him.

Now, he took out a little bit and gave it to the Wu family, thinking that the shopkeeper Ye would be happy. Thinking of this, Ye Feng picked up a silver ticket of twenty taels from it, and generously handed it to Wu's and said, "Second aunt, don't be too little, just take it and make a few sets of clothes for the eldest girl." ”

"It's not too little, it's not too little, it's really getting colder and colder lately, don't I have to make a few thick clothes for the big girl." Wu took the silver ticket and smiled toothlessly.

To say that although he only gave birth to a daughter, the silver tickets or ornaments he got recently were all for the eldest girl. She counted last night, and it was enough to buy a few acres of land in the countryside.

After saving for a while, when she was enough to buy ten acres of land, she took it back and quietly bought the land, just waiting to collect the rent.

Thinking of this, Wu smiled even more happily, and complimented Ye Feng in front of Shopkeeper Ye, which made Shopkeeper Ye a lot happier. To say that although the Wu family is vulgar, but he can speak, he is still very good at speaking, because except for Yao Wushuang, the family does not particularly hate her.

At night, Yao Wushuang naturally blew the pillow wind all night, in short, it made Shopkeeper Ye feel angry in his heart. It's just that what she doesn't know is that Shopkeeper Ye knows more secrets than her, so Shopkeeper Ye has already thought of a way, a way to make Gu Xixi feel painful, but Yao Wushuang doesn't know.

If he knew, Yao Wushuang would only be afraid of joy and sorrow.

On the second day, after breakfast, the shopkeeper Ye brought Ye Feng to the county office in the name of thanksgiving, and it happened that Gu Xixi was also there, and the family was happy around the newborn baby there, and when the shopkeeper Ye saw it, there was a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth, and then he took Ye Feng in.

Seeing Ye Feng and Ye Shopkeeper coming together, Bai Zhixian was not surprised, he almost always ran to Chenjia Village these days, so he naturally knew the relationship between Ye Shopkeeper and Ye Feng. I heard that I brought Ye Feng to thank him, so I didn't care, but after saying a few words, I continued to tease my baby son.

And Gu Xixi lived for a long confinement during this time.

According to the Qin family, you must sit for forty years before you can go. And later, even after the confinement, he didn't go out, and he deliberately avoided suspicion, and Yao Wushuang didn't know why he deliberately alienated her, so he was at home almost every day.

At this moment, seeing that Shopkeeper Ye came with Ye Feng, he already had a bad premonition in his heart, and heard Shopkeeper Ye deliberately say: "This time the dog has been rewarded by the magistrate, and the family is very happy. No, I have to bring it to thank you. It's just that the reward is heavier, especially those books, which are all unique books, and I think it was the county magistrate who bothered to find them, and the dog really can't bear it. ”

Hearing this, Bai Zhixian smiled and said, "Where is it, you are seeing the outside like this." You helped us take care of the shop before, and now your son has given me a lot of good advice, and I recognize my own righteous son, so I can naturally afford it. So, stop being polite, I'm going to be angry if I'm polite again. ”

Dogs? Son? Righteous son?

Gu Xixi listened to it, as if it was a thunderbolt, what do you mean by this? Ah, what does that mean? She felt like she couldn't think anymore, and her mind was a mess.

She looked at Ye Feng's little face, and suddenly thought of what she had said to Cuizhu: "It should also be related to this child, he actually looks a little like my father, no wonder I look so kind." ”

She still clearly remembered Cuizhu's reply at the time: "Yes, he looks like an adult, and it can be regarded as his creation." ”

Could it be, could it be, this is the child back then, the child who was abducted by Hanako, that, her biological son?

Looking at the pain on Gu Xixi's face, Shopkeeper Ye smiled triumphantly.
