Gu Yunji was a little surprised when he heard this: "You have to go back to Beijing so soon?" It stands to reason that even if you want to be promoted, you will wait until the end of the year to complete the evaluation before leaving, right? ”

According to the system of the Great Xia Dynasty, magistrates are appointed for a term of three years, and they can be re-elected for a maximum of three consecutive terms, during which they will be evaluated for their performance every year, and a comprehensive evaluation will be conducted every three years.

Lu Xianzhi knew that this was the first year of his second term, and he got the middle and upper in the last comprehensive evaluation, and generally speaking, he could only be promoted in the next comprehensive evaluation if he got the middle and upper ranks again.

Although the next comprehensive evaluation will have to wait for another two years, Lu Xianzhi's outstanding performance in the process of resettling displaced people has set a good example for the governors in Jiangnan to learn from, and it can be regarded as a major achievement, and it is normal for him to be promoted early.

Gu Yunji knew Lu Xianzhi's ability, and it was not surprising that he was able to be promoted. To his surprise, even if he was promoted early, he would have to leave his post after the year-end evaluation, rather than returning to Beijing next month.

Pan Shiliang replied: "It should be like this. As a result, it happened that Ding Wei, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple in the Central Plains, returned to his hometown, and the position was vacant, so he simply transferred him back to Beijing and took office next month. ”

Although the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple is the same as the prefect, it is the same as the fourth grade, but the Beijing official has always been higher than the local official, and the Taichang Temple is in charge of the sacrifice, which can be regarded as a noble position, and it is indeed a good place for Lu Xianzhi.

Saying that, Pan Shiliang added: "Lord Lu loves the people like a son, and this time he is about to leave office and return to Beijing, and the officials and people of Hangzhou are very reluctant, and they also sent Wanmin umbrellas. It is said that when he received it, he was so moved that he wept bitterly, and his tears wet his official uniform. ”

Gu Yunji imagined that scene for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

If the people were grateful for the virtue of the magistrate, they would give him an umbrella to praise him. But sometimes it is not necessarily completely voluntary by the people, and it may also be that the local squire gives it away in order to please him, and Lu Xianzhi obviously belongs to the latter.

One side is grateful to Dade for sending the umbrella, and the other side is crying and weeping for the umbrella, obviously everyone knows this, but they still have to finish this scene seriously.

However, Lu Xianzhi was able to cry so much that his clothes were wet, so sincere, he had to sigh that his acting skills were so good, he deserved to be promoted.

The main purpose of Pan Shiliang's trip was to read out the holy decree and send the plaque given by the emperor to Luxi Academy, and now that the matter was done, he didn't stay longer, and left after chatting with Xu Chengyu and a few people casually.

Looking at Pan Shiliang's distant back, Su Qi came back to his senses and complained to Xu Chengyu: "Mountain Chief, Lord Pan, as His Majesty the Acting Minister, came to reward us for such a big thing, and you didn't even tell us, which made me curious all morning!" ”

Xu Chengyu's tone was calm, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him: "What can you tell you?" Finally, the matter of the displaced people has finally come to an end, and the academy is about to start classes, just in time for you to gather your hearts and prepare for class. ”

"If you let you know in advance, you can't jump up and down every day and wait for people to come? What else to talk about in class. As it is today, I will tell you the best at the end. ”

Su Qi consciously wanted to refute, and after thinking about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case, and his confidence was suddenly insufficient. He didn't force his mouth to be stiff, he simply bent his eyebrows, and said flatteringly: "You are worthy of being the chief of the mountain, and you really understand our character thoroughly." So what are our plans next, should we send Master Lu off when he leaves? ”

"What's the plan, of course it's the start of school!" Xu Chengyu glanced at him, and said angrily, "When Lord Lu leaves office, there is no shortage of people to send, and you don't need to send it, you just take care of yourself." ”

"Huh? Classes are coming up so soon? It's boring. Hearing the class, Su Qi's face collapsed, and the whole person was listless.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he quickly became happy again: "But it's okay, it's already April, and it's the Dragon Boat Festival soon, and then we will have a holiday again." ”

As he spoke, he climbed on Gu Yunji's shoulder and asked enthusiastically, "Yunji, is your sister-in-law already born?" When the Dragon Boat Festival is over, I will go to Huating County to congratulate your family! ”

Su Qi's thinking was out of the box, not ordinary people could keep up, Gu Yunji was a little helpless: "Yes, the family sent a letter, saying that my sister-in-law gave birth to a boy at the end of last month, and the mother and son are safe." ”

"Wouldn't that be just right!" Su Qi clasped his palms happily when he heard this, "I attended your eldest brother's wedding during the Dragon Boat Festival last year, and this year's Dragon Boat Festival caught up with your nephew's full moon wine, what a coincidence, I really have a fate with your family!" ”

Gu Yunji couldn't cry or laugh: "My nephew was born at the end of March, and when we go back from the Dragon Boat Festival, he will be almost two months old, where can I catch up with the full moon wine?" ”

Su Qi felt that this was not a matter, and said disapprovingly: "What does it matter? Even if we can't catch up, as long as we go back, it's good if the affection arrives! ”

As he spoke, he had already pondered the greeting gift for the little doll: "What should I give to a child who is less than two months old...... Small bracelets? Or a longevity lock? But these are the most common gifts from parents, will I collide with them? I still have to send a special ......."

Seeing that Su Qi was thinking seriously, Cheng Yan couldn't help but say, "Are you really going to go?" In this way, you have spent the Dragon Boat Festival outside for two consecutive years and have not returned to the capital, will it not be good? ”

"It makes sense, for two years in a row, it's been a bit of trouble......" Su Qi didn't understand what he meant at all, and the focus was completely offset, "Or, I'll live in your house this year?" ”

Cheng Yan was caught off guard: "My family? Are you sure? Let's not talk about the ugliness of the cold house, you may not be used to it, the main reason is that my mother is old, just your startled monkey temper, don't scare her old man! ”

"What do you say, am I that kind of person?" Su Qi slapped Cheng Yan dissatisfied, "I respect the old and love the young, okay?" When the time comes, I will be safe and secure, and I will not cause you any trouble. ”

Just when several people were discussing hotly, Xu Chengyu interjected faintly: "I forgot to tell you that there will be no holiday during the Dragon Boat Festival this year." ”

Hearing this, all the students present immediately turned their heads in unison, and their eyes were bigger than the copper bell: "What? No holidays? ”

Su Qi immediately quit: "How can you be so long?" If the Dragon Boat Festival is not a holiday, won't we have to wait until the Chinese New Year to go home? If I stay in the academy for a whole year, I won't be able to suffocate here, and I won't let people breathe a sigh of relief! ”

Xu Chengyu was unmoved, and took it for granted: "From last year's holiday to now, the academy has not started classes for nearly five months, and you haven't slowed down enough for such a long time?" You must know that next year will be the year of the imperial examination, and if you continue to play like this, you will have to be in the year of the monkey to be able to pass the exam? There is not much time left for you, so it is only right to read for a few more days. ”

Although Xu Chengyu is right, and the students understand this truth, everyone still can't help but feel sorry for their lost vacation, and they all sigh at the moment, like eggplants beaten by frost.

Looking at the sluggish appearance of the students, Xu Chengyu was in a rare good mood, he turned around and walked back by himself, but threw a thunderous sentence to everyone: "Also, this year's semi-annual exam will be held tomorrow in advance, and the rankings will still be pulled through, so everyone should prepare well." ”

"Huh?"

The students were so scorched that they only felt that their ears must have been broken, otherwise they would not have heard such "inhumane" words.

But no matter how shocked the students of Luxi Academy were, now that the dust has settled, it is time for everyone to get back on track and continue to study and attend classes step by step.

Ordinary days always pass quickly, spring goes to summer and comes again, autumn goes and spring returns.

The ginkgo trees in the academy are green and yellow, yellow and green, and with the flick of a finger, a year has passed.
