Listening to the eighth master, the appointment of the eldest brother will come down soon. According to the emperor's intentions, most of them are outsiders.

You must know that the official evaluation of the Qing Dynasty is a three-year system. This release will mean that she doesn't have to go home for at least three years, and it is even more impossible to come to the capital to see her.

However, I heard the eighth master say that only if he is released as a magistrate, it will be easier to be promoted in the future. She is still happy for her eldest brother in her heart.

"Why are you in a daze again?"

As soon as the eighth master entered the house, he saw Mao Tongtong sitting by the window, his eyes were confused, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"I'm back." Mao Tongtong smiled.

"Your eldest brother's appointment has come down." Eight Masters said.

"Where are you going?" Mao Tongtong asked. Unexpectedly, what she was thinking about just now came to fruition.

"Shandong!" The eighth master said: "This year, there is a big change of blood in Shandong officialdom, and Huang Ama has the heart to rectify. This time, Shandong was disposed of so many officials, and there were many vacancies. Your eldest brother was sent to Zibo as a county magistrate. ”

"Zibo?" Mao Tongtong was stunned for a moment and said, "I also said before that it was a good thing to be released." Isn't it a good place to go now? ”

"Okay." The eighth master nodded and said, "Huang Ama obviously wants to train your eldest brother. The previous prefectural magistrate was suspected of embezzlement of money and grain for disaster relief. Your eldest brother is going now, as long as he can fulfill his duties for three years in office, he will have the opportunity to be promoted. ”

"If you settle down, the slave and maid can rest assured." Mao Tongtong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your eldest brother is a smart man, he should take advantage of the opportunity. You don't have to worry about it. "The eighth master said.

"Then the slave brother is going to go directly to the post after receiving the appointment? Or can you go home? Mao Tongtong asked.

"Of course you can go home first." The eighth master said: "As long as you take office within the specified time." ”

"Can the slave let the eldest brother have something to go home?" Mao Tongtong asked again.

Since the eighth master allowed her to see Mao Mingxuan, she had a thought in her heart. These days, I hurriedly made two underwear and socks for Chen and Mao, as well as a few purses. Now she can't accept the joy of her knees, and she can only use these chats to express her heart, which can be regarded as honoring them.

"Hmm." The eighth master nodded, "When you are ready, the master will let Chen Guo run." ”

At this time, Mao Mingxuan's appointment had already come out, and it would not be good to run to his mansion again.

"Thank you!" Mao Tongtong said happily.

The news of the eighth master was one step earlier, so Mao Mingxuan received the appointment notice on the second day.

On this day, Uncle Chen did not stop bathing, and did not come back in the Yamen, Su Shi couldn't read a few words, and when he saw Mao Mingxuan taking the appointment, he asked: "What official position did the emperor arrange for you?" ”

"Zibo County Order." Mao Mingxuan said.

"Prefectural order?" Su Shi frowned and said, "How many officials is the county order?" ”

"Seven pins." Mao Mingxuan said with a smile: "Isn't there a saying that the seven-grade sesame official is the county order." ”

"It's only seven grades!" Su's face was not very good-looking, and said: "I knew that this was the case, I should have let your uncle be active, maybe he could stay in the capital." ”

"It's good to be a county magistrate." Mao Mingxuan said with a smile: "Managing the people on one side can do some practical things." ”

"Congratulations cousin." Although Chen Ruzhu didn't know whether the county order was good or not, she also knew that the official position of the seven-rank official was not high.

However, in her heart, even if Mao Mingxuan is now a seventh-rank official, he can be promoted in the future. Therefore, she is really happy for Mao Mingxuan. After all, Mao Mingxuan got all this completely by himself, which is very remarkable.

"I'll let the kitchen add vegetables today to celebrate Mingxuan." Su Shi smiled reluctantly.

"Thank you, aunt." Mao Mingxuan smiled, he didn't see a trace of disdain flashing in Su's eyes.

When Uncle Chen came back in the evening, he heard that Mao Mingxuan's appointment was the order of Zibo County, and he was immediately happy to let the kitchen serve good wine.

"Mingxuan, this is your chance!" Uncle Chen said: "You should also know what happened in Shandong officialdom before. Long live the Lord was furious and disposed of many officials, which is why there are so many vacancies. Now that you can go there to take office, it means that Long Live Lord still values you and wants to give you a chance to experience! ”

"yes, I know." Mao Mingxuan nodded. His heart rejoiced. Long live the opportunity for him to experience, this is a good start! In the past three years, he has to work hard to make some achievements, so that Long Live Lord can see his ability.

"I also thought that Long Live Lord would let you go to the local area, but I didn't expect it to go to Shandong." Uncle Chen said, glanced at Mao Mingxuan with envy, and said, "Your kid has good luck, and his future is limitless!" ”

"Look at what my uncle said, I have just stepped into the officialdom, where can I say what will happen in the future." Mao Mingxuan smiled embarrassedly.

"This man, sometimes it really depends on luck." Uncle Chen suddenly sighed: "I was born in the imperial examination like you back then, and my ranking was not too bad, ranking in the top 50 in the second class. Later, I tried to find a way to make the silver out. It's a pity that the place I went to was remote, and it was difficult to achieve results. Later, it took a lot of effort to get back to the capital. It's just that it's hard to climb up again. ”

"Uncle, why bother to say frustrating words, you are not yet forty this year, and you still have a chance." Mao Mingxuan comforted.

Uncle Chen smiled and waved his hand, "Mingxuan, you don't have to comfort me." I know better than you about this officialdom! In this life, I will be a fourth-grade official. ”

Mao Mingxuan also knew that Uncle Chen knew better than him, so he didn't persuade him again, but said: "Uncle, I toast you, thank you for taking care of Mingxuan and mentioning it in the past six months!" Mingxuan has always remembered it in his heart! ”

"Okay, come and drink! Happy today, let's not talk about those things that are not fun! Uncle Chen smiled and raised his glass.

Su Shi frowned when he heard this, and said in his heart, it's just a seven-grade county order, as for being so happy? She now faintly regretted it. At that time, I only heard Uncle Chen say how Mao Mingxuan was the champion, and she wrote a letter to her eldest sister on impulse. In case it is answered over there, doesn't Ruzhu have to marry a seven-pin county order? I'm afraid I'll have to follow along!

How difficult it was for Chen Junjie to climb back to the capital from a small county order! If it weren't for the fact that her family still had some connections and was willing to use the money, Chen Junjie was afraid that he wouldn't be able to come back now!

She doesn't understand the difference between Mao Mingxuan's county order and Chen Junjie's original! Just thinking that her daughter might follow her old path back then, I regretted it a hundred times in my heart!

If she had known this was the case, she should have waited! It's not too late to wait until Mao Mingxuan's appointment is made before making a decision!

What she regrets even more now is that she didn't hold on to it before, the family affair of the sister-in-law of the Ministry of Industry has come to an end, and I heard that the family has already made a marriage, and now it's too late to regret it.

Chen Ruzhu didn't know that Su's heart had begun to waver now. When she saw that her Ama mouth was full of praise for Mao Mingxuan, she admired Mao Mingxuan even more in her heart.
