Yuan Jiaqi was in Bichun Garden in the capital at this time, playing chess with Mr. Wang.

"Sir, it's not a problem that we've been living in the capital like this?"

"The holy will is unpredictable, he values you, maybe there is something for you to do, don't panic."

"Students don't want to do anything big, they just want to start from a small county order first and do something practical for the people."

"Facts? It's not the old man who hits you, do you have the silver? ”

"Me!"

"Do you have power? If you go alone to be a county magistrate, if you don't have the strength, you will be bullied by the locals, and you won't have the slightest power to fight back. ”

"They dare to be disrespectful to the officials of the imperial court?"

"Respect? They haven't broken the law, for example, if they are affected by a disaster and need relief and they can't come out, what can you do with them? Out of the bandits, you need their cooperation to arrest together, what should you do if they are fools? ”

The Yuan family suddenly felt like a battlefield, and he frowned.

"So what?"

"You have to train your own people, let them follow you to the death, they will listen to what you say, always charge ahead of you, and resist all dangers for you."

"Guards?"

"And Master, the one who advises you."

The Yuan family nodded, and at this moment, the eunuch who spread the word in the palace came, and the emperor asked him to enter the palace.

Mr. Wang's face was a little unsightly, and he didn't understand what happened to the emperor this time, so he kept procrastinating and not letting the Yuan family report on his work.

It's never been like this before, and it's a bit confusing.

Besides, Yuan Jiaqi followed the eunuch into the palace and came to the outside of the imperial study, where the emperor was approving the folds.

Hearing the eunuch's reply, he didn't even raise his head.

"Let him in."

Yuan Jiaqi lowered his head slightly, without a trace of nervousness, and calmly entered inside.

He never envied the rich, never wanted to tie up the powerful, he can have today, it is all the support of his wife and his own efforts.

I'm afraid of wool, and I didn't do anything wrong.

gave a big salute to the emperor, "Your Majesty!" ”

"Well, let's get even, I'm looking for you today because I have something to ask you."

The emperor still didn't look up, and talked to him while criticizing the recital.

"Your Majesty, please."

"You must have a family at your age, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, as a minister, he not only has a family, but also has three sons and one daughter."

"Only one is your own child, the other two are adopted, and the other is your lady's daughter?"

Yuan Jiaqi did not panic, and replied calmly, presumably before calling him here, he also investigated him.

"The minister's wife is kind, treat my son as his own child, and the minister naturally wants to repay her sincerity."

"Well, I heard that the two of you respect each other like guests?"

The emperor even knows that their husband and wife don't sleep in the same room, I'm a good girl!

"It's the minister's wife who thinks about the minister, and doesn't want to affect the minister's studies, and we treat each other politely before we are admitted to the Jinshi."

Every word he says is said after the brain has thought twice.

"That's right, my daughter took a fancy to you when you rode through the streets, and came to me to ask for grace, and wanted to recruit you as a colt, I am not a foolish person, and you have to nod your head for this kind of thing."

When Yuan Jiaqi heard this, he immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a deep affection for his wife, and he will never do this thing of divorce."

"What if you let my daughter be your wife?"

"Impossible, Holy Lord, you may have investigated the past of the minister, and know how embarrassed the minister was with his son at that time, if it wasn't for my wife to take it in, if it wasn't for my wife's full support, it would be impossible for the minister to have the present, I will definitely not be that ungrateful white-eyed wolf, besides, the minister has a deep affection for his wife, and he can no longer tolerate others in his heart."

Only then did the Emperor raise his head and look at him deeply.

"Well, even if you don't want to, I can't help but force you, but you can't stay in the capital anymore."

"The minister implores the saint to send the minister to a remote place to be the county commander, and the minister wants to really do something for the people."

"Remote?"

"Yes!"

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "I remember that your home is in Tianshui Town on the Acropolis, which is almost close to the Beiguan Fortress, why don't you go to Shexian County north of Tianshui Town?" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Well, go down, the official document will be in your hands in two days, and then take office on the same day."

As soon as Yuan Jiaqi came out of the palace, he immediately wiped the sweat on his head, he was not afraid of anything, he was afraid of this, Mr. hinted that he should not bear Qiao Niangzi.

Back at Bichun Garden, the old man was anxiously waiting.

"How's it going?"

"Hehe, the order will come down in the next two days."

"Where?"

"Shexian to the north of Tianshui Town."

"How could it be there?"

Yuan Jiaqi told Mr. in detail about the things after going to the palace.

"I see, I'll just say, you refused to marry, and the emperor was a little annoyed, but he was a Ming Jun, so naturally he wouldn't make an order to marry the princess, boy, you impressed the old man."

"Sir, students don't be ungrateful, besides, students really like Mrs. Qiao."

"Well, you don't have to take the exam in the future, just be this county order, I believe that with the support of your lady, your county order will do smoothly, and also, spend more time on your lady in the future, don't die if you see the book."

"Yes, sir, it's just that the student is stupid and doesn't know how to get along with the lady."

The old gentleman's old face was also red, "I can't teach you this, I'll let my old wife teach you when I go back." ”

In this way, in mid-May, Yuan Jiaqi and the old gentleman returned to Tianshui Town.

Qiao Mai was very happy when he heard that Yuan Jiaqi was assigned to the county seat in the north, and he personally cooked a large table of delicious meals.

Because it was summer, she didn't make those big fish and meat, she bought them all from the platform.

Like sour and spicy boneless chicken feet, everyone loves to eat this bite, crisp and delicious garlic water chestnut, beef luncheon meat, dry-fried small yellow croaker, spicy hairy crab, etc., all canned and poured into the plate, set up a full table, adults and children eat that is called a full fun.

The old gentleman stroked his beard very beautifully, "It's still comfortable at home, the old man has been in the capital enough, and he wants to come back every day." ”

"My home is close to home, so I can go home often."

"Yes, I think about the food that the lady cooks," said his face and turned red.

The old gentleman said a few words in the ear of the old wife, and the old lady pursed her lips and smiled, and nodded again and again.

The Yuan family stayed comfortably at home for three days, and then set off to Shexian to take office, and the old gentleman was afraid that he would not have a helper, so he asked his son for six guards and followed him to take office.

Qiao Mai shook his hand and gave him 10,000 taels of silver, and let him look at the purchase of things.

It was difficult for a good woman to have no rice, so he accepted it silently.

Mayor Qian didn't come over to join in the fun, he wasn't in Tianshui Town at this time, he heard that his father had died, and went back to mourn.

Lu Sanniang heard that the Yuan family was in high school, so she prepared a gift and sent Xiuhong over.

Qin Yide and Ruyi took a moment to sit for a while on the first night before Yuan Jiaqi left.

Others, either early in the morning or in the evening, came to congratulate when it was not hot.

The Yuan family is now an official of the imperial court, and it is okay to come and sit and congratulate him, but he doesn't accept anyone's gifts, and Qiao Mai also asked her to return the gifts given by Lu Sanniang.

Originally, Qiao Mai meant that he wanted Mr. Wang to follow him to take office.

Who knew that the old gentleman didn't want to leave Jixiangyuan when he was killed, let alone be the military advisor of the Yuan family, so he still let him come by himself, and he told him in detail along the way.

What to do after taking office, what to do when encountering something, I have helped him analyze, it's all like this, and if you want him to go over, then the Yuan family will be too bad.

When it was the old lady, she asked Yuan Jiaqi to take Qiao Mai away and go to Shexian County to take office together.

What are you kidding, the whole Acropolis is in drought, she is gone, what will happen to the family? What about the water? I can't let her help him deal with affairs again, and she has to take care of the people of this city, so she doesn't do it, it's too tiring.

The old gentleman and the old lady glanced at each other, if they don't go, they won't go, and they can't force it.
