County lieutenant?

In the back garden of the new house, the four ladies surrounded Shen Ao, Zhen Zhen, Zhou Ruo, and Tang Mo'er all showed a trace of disapproval, but Chun'er didn't know how big an official the county lieutenant was, and a trace of longing flashed in her eyes, she now has long hair coiled up, wearing a phoenix hairpin, a little less cute, a little more mature, wearing a long skirt with a round neck, and her demeanor is handsome, but the surname Bing is still the same as before, the heart surname is too good, a little desireless, anyway, as long as the husband is an official, as for what kind of official, she neither understands nor minds.

There are about three official chief officials in a county, one is the county commander, one is the county governor, and then the county lieutenant, the county commander is in charge of one side, the county lieutenant is the adjutant who is in charge of the documents and warehouses, and the county lieutenant is in charge of public security. The grade is not high, but the responsibility is significant.

Shen Ao looked at the appearance of the three ladies, and his heart was also a little weak, and he couldn't help but think, Cai Jing, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, and Sima Guang all started as county lieutenants, so they wouldn't be so despised, right?

Shen Ao said in an accentuated tone: "Wrong, it's not the county lieutenant, it's the county lieutenant of Renhe County!" ”

Zhou Ruo pouted: "The county lieutenant of Renhe County is also a county lieutenant." "She was born in a public mansion, and she has seen a lot of Shangshu and waiters, so naturally she will not take a county lieutenant in her eyes.

Shen Ao said: "The county lieutenant of Renhe County is different, Madame, think about it, it is the same county, Renhe County has 100,000 household registrations, what is the concept of 100,000?" In other state roads, some counties are only 1,000 households, and the county with 10,000 households is a big county, this Renhe County is located in Hangzhou, and Qiantang is combined into Hangzhou Prefecture, Hangzhou's registered population has exceeded 200,000, what is the concept of 200,000 households, a household is five people, 200,000 households is a million people, Mrs., the county lieutenant's relationship is very important, and the husband is worried that the population is too large to afford such a major relationship. A county lieutenant is in charge of public security, and there are more officials in charge of all the way and one government in one person's house. ”

Zhen Zhen said: "I heard that Hangzhou Mansion is very prosperous, but the population of 200,000 households is a little scary, so this Renhe County has more population than Xijing?" ”

Shen Ao nodded and said, "The cities with a population of more than 200,000 households in the world are only Beijing and Hangzhou, which one do you say has more household registration in Xijing compared with Hangzhou?" ”

Shen Ao deliberately exaggerated Renhe County, that is, to teach the ladies not to underestimate this county lieutenant, since the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, there has never been a one-step appointment, they all start from the grassroots level, those who have just entered the court, but the future is not as big as the outgoing, that is, Gao Yu, now he is a captain, before he was promoted, Zhao Ji also asked him to go to the border army to gild.

Therefore, this trip, Shen Ao must go, not only to be a county lieutenant, but also to make some political achievements, but to go to another country, there is a little bad feeling in my heart, I have stayed in Bianjing City for a long time, there are too many things worth nostalgia, and my mood is also a little depressed.

After explaining to the ladies, and asking Liu Sheng to pack up, Shen Ao personally rode a horse and went to the Qiguo Mansion to find Zhou Zheng, revealing the appointment of the imperial court, Zhou Zheng seriously analyzed for him: "You don't have to worry about going to Renhe County this time, and it won't be long before you will be promoted, but that daylight, you have to be careful." One of the two of you is a county magistrate, and the other is a county lieutenant, only by pressing that daylight can you get ahead, Your Majesty arranged it like this, I am afraid that I will also use this daylight to test you, you can do it yourself! ”

Said and said: "This trip to Hangzhou, I will return to the DPRK in a short time, and my family members don't have to take it, I will pick a few family members to go with you, it will be more convenient along the way, and you can make your own decisions about other things." ”

Shen Ao thought for a while and said, "Father-in-law means that daylight went to Renhe County not Cai Jing's meaning?" ”

Zhou Zheng laughed and said: "The most important thing for Cai Jing at the moment is to recover at the right time, why do you need to give birth to these rights and wrongs." That daylight recognized the thief as his father, Tian was shameless, he took Cai Jing's way, Cai Jing ran for him, His Majesty naturally couldn't refute his face, but this appointment and dismissal was all in the hands of His Majesty, as for what His Majesty's idea was, it is unknown. ”

Shen Ao gritted his teeth and said, "This daylight, I feel uncomfortable when I look at him." ”

Zhou Zheng was noncommittal, and suddenly said: "Over there in Hangzhou, there are no acquaintances in the Gongfu and can't take care of you, maybe Gonggong Yang and Lord Tang will arrange everything for you." ”

Shen Ao nodded and said, "Then I'll go to the Tang Mansion now." ”

Out of the Guogong Mansion, all the way to the Tang family, Mrs. Tang saw him and said with a smile: "Why didn't you bring Mo'er with you, I'm a mother, but I miss it very much!" ”

Shen Ao said: "If my mother-in-law wants Mo'er, I will move over and live for a year and a half. ”

Mrs. Tang smiled: "The old man wants to live in a small place, but the dead ghost refuses, saying that there is no reason to go to his son-in-law's house to live, hum, he deserves to be poor in this life, and the whole thing is to be reasonable and reasonable, is this reason finished?" ”

Shen Ao couldn't help but smile: "Father-in-law quarreled with you again?" ”

Mrs. Tang suddenly felt a little embarrassed to say this in front of her son-in-law, so she squeaked and said, "It's just a bicker." ”

Shen Ao said: "Mother-in-law will move directly to the house after a while, anyway, I will go to Hangzhou to take up my post, Mo'er and they are very stuffy there, and it will be more lively with mother-in-law."

Mrs. Tang looked at Shen Ao in surprise and said, "Why don't you bring your family with you?" ”

Shen Ao said: "It will take two months to travel back and forth along the way, and I don't know when I will be ordered to return to the court, besides, it is always inconvenient for so many female dependents to travel." ”

Mrs. Tang nodded, Shen Ao was right, in this era, there are really a lot of inconveniences for female surnames to go far away, so except for some necessary things, most of them can still be avoided, not to mention that the road is not very smooth now, and it is not fun if something happens halfway.

Mrs. Tang said: "When you leave, say that I will cook some biscuits and meat for you to eat on the road. ”

Shen Ao responded and said, "Is my father-in-law at home?" ”

Mrs. Tang shouted: "Dead ghost, your son-in-law is here, what are you still hiding in the house?" ”

In fact, the Tang family's house is not big, Shen Ao and Mrs. Tang were talking outside, Tang Yan had already heard it, but he thought that he was an elder, how could he be so big and small, it was better to hold a little shelf, who knew that Mrs. Tang called it like this, Tang Yan was ashamed and ashamed, and hurriedly said: "Is it Shen Ao?" Come on in. ”

Shen Ao hurriedly went in, saluted, and called his father-in-law.

Tang Yan coughed, nodded his head and said, "I just heard you say that the Ministry of Officials has been appointed?" ”

Shen Ao said: "It's the county lieutenant of Renhe County." ”

Tang Yanxi said: "This is really something that many people can't dream of, you have such a creation, it's very good." Then he said: "Speaking of which, I have a lot of students in Hangzhou, and I will write a few letters to you in a few days, if you have time, go and pay a visit." ”

Shen Ao did not refuse, no matter in any era, being an official is about relationships, classmates, and the same year, these are all means of pulling relationships, he is too arrogant, but he seems to be lonely and self-appreciative.

Tang Yan asked him what he was reading recently, Shen Ao only said that he had done a few scriptures, Tang Yan shook his head: "Now that you have an official body, the scriptures are important, but you don't have to take them out to see, you have some free time, read more scriptures and history, it is very helpful for you, and get along with colleagues, you don't have to be too stubborn, you can do what you want, your future is promising, you don't have to learn from me, I, a gentleman, only suffer." ”

Tang Yan's words made Shen Ao sigh, drank a few sips of tea, and said goodbye.

It's not far from Yang's Mansion here, I have nothing to do, and I went to Yang's Mansion again, Yang Jian is still on duty in the palace, who doesn't know the new aunt outside? Hurriedly greeted and served, invited him to drink tea, the official family in the house is called Yang Tian, a mouthful of an uncle's busy before and after, this Yang Mansion is not smaller than the Guogong Mansion, and it is a new house, it has only been built for ten years, it is very magnificent, into the main hall, Shen Ao went to see the calligraphy and paintings framed on the wall, the old man has collected a lot of good things, these years of internal ministers have not been in vain, he should be greedy, he should not be greedy, he has not left a son, this splendid mansion, although there is a suspicion of nouveau riche, but in Shen Ao's eyes, it is like entering a museum, it is the teapot, I'm afraid it's also a treasure among treasures.

After drinking a few sips of tea here, sitting for a while, and about to leave, Yang Jian came in a hurry, and said with a smile: "I heard that the porter said that Xianxu is here, haha, it was just right, and the miscellaneous family has something to say to you." ”

The two sat down, and Yang Jian said: "This time, you and that daylight will go to Renhe County to take up a post, you have to be careful, this daylight is used by His Majesty to test you." ”

Zhou Zheng had this guess before, but now listening to what Yang Jian said, there is undoubtedly accurate news, Shen Ao deliberately made a surprised look, and said, "What am I going to do in the school?" ”

Yang Jian said: "You don't have to pretend to be confused, who is the daylight, you don't know?" The relationship between you and Cai Jing is a well-known thing, the miscellaneous family will tell you directly, if you don't press the daylight under your feet, this Renhe County would rather not go, but you don't have to be afraid, he will never be able to make any waves, the miscellaneous family has already ordered it, and he doesn't dare to come blatantly. You also have to pay attention to other things, the miscellaneous family in Hangzhou has already opened the joint, if anyone in this Hangzhou mansion embarrass you, go directly to the father-in-law of the bureau, even if there is a big incident, the miscellaneous family will give you a pocket. ”

Shen Ao was embarrassed and said, "The son-in-law is going to be an official, what can he do?" ”

Yang Jian thought for a while: "That's right, it's best not to make trouble, and since you are going to work, just take the official ship of the Bureau, you can get there in half a month, and you don't have to work along the way." ”

Shen Ao said: "I'm afraid that I will go to work with Cheng Hui and a few others." ”

Yang Jian smiled disapprethoughtly and said, "Then ask Cheng Hui to get on the boat with you, anyway, the empty ship will return." ”
