Chapter 12 Filial piety
"Before becoming the Taishou of the Daijun, Lang Jun needs to get out of the civilian status, and there are currently three ways to get the official body, to be filial piety, and after the honor, he will be tested for Xiucai." Si Qinmi continued to plan for Zhuang Xun.
"I don't think about it after Xungui, but my husband has a literary atmosphere and is familiar with the classics, can he take the exam?" Siqin Mi looked at Zhuang Xun's face and said.
"No, no, I don't have much talent!" Zhuang Xun's head shook like a wave drum, he read a little bit of historical stories, and even read some classics of the hundred schools of thought, but he only remembered the classic words and sentences.
"That can only be filial piety, Lang Jun's reputation is enough, there was a discussion in the market yesterday, Lang Jun values affection and righteousness, compared to the traitorous Siqin family, it is heaven and earth." Siqin Mi said schemingly.
"If you are filial, a hundred taels of silver is enough." Siqin Mi thought for a while and said.
"So expensive?" Zhuang Xun was frightened.
"This is still Lang Jun, the price at which you have a thin name, which meets the standard of filial piety, if you don't have a reputation, it will be several times more expensive." Siqin Mi's words silenced Zhuang Xun.
"Do you have to send money even if you take the Xiucai exam?" Zhuang Xun held back for a while and said speechlessly.
"That's right, but it's a lot less than raising filial piety, about twenty taels, maybe there are fluctuations, so I have to say that Lang Jun married a concubine because of wealth, otherwise I don't know when I have to take care of the accounts by relying on my husband like this." Si Qinmi chuckled.
"......" is a bit heart-wrenching, but it is true.
"The concubine is not accusing Lang Jun, the concubine is just ......" Siqin Mi saw that Zhuang Xun was silent, and hurriedly apologized.
"You don't have to be so restrained, since I have married you as a wife, the same is the same thing, what can't I say this kind of, if I accidentally say something wrong, I want to ask the lady to forgive me more, and I am not angry, I just feel that this Yu Dynasty is becoming more and more unbearable." Zhuang Xun sighed.
"It's the concubine who has seen the outside, indeed, the Yu Dynasty is terminally ill, and the princes and ministers are counted as one, and they are all like Pixiu who only enter and can't leave, so we have to hurry up and find a new home before this palace collapses." Siqin Mi followed Zhuang Xun's words.
"Is Mr. Zhuang here?" There was a knock on the door, and it was the voice of the landlord's second son.
"Is there something wrong with Second Uncle Xu?" Zhuang Xun got out of bed.
"Zhuang Gongzi, your identity as filial piety has come down, and the people from the government have sent official documents." The uncle outside the door couldn't suppress his excitement and said.
"Huh?" Zhuang Xun glanced at Si Qin Mi, and Si Qin Mi shook his head.
Zhuang Xun was confused, but he stood up and walked out, and Siqin Mi put away the money and followed him.
"The people from the government are waiting outside the door, Zhuang Gongzi congratulates." The usually cold uncle has changed someone, and the enthusiastic Zhuang Xun can't react.
"Okay, I'll take a look, thank you Second Uncle Xu." Zhuang Xun walked out of the alley, and several messengers held official documents.
"But Zhuang Xiaolian?" Seeing Zhuang Xun come out and lead the errand officer, he said with awe in his eyes.
"Inquire in Xiazhuang." Zhuang Xun arched his hand in return.
"Congratulations to Zhuang Xiaolian, congratulations to Zhuang Xiaolian, after the recognition of the Lord of Futai, I have elected you as one of the filial piety of our Yin Capital Mansion this year, which is a document recognized by the imperial court." The messenger handed over the paperwork, and Zhuang Xun tried to take his hand and slipped away.
At this time, Si Qinmi handed the silver money to Zhuang Xun.
Zhuang Xun immediately reacted and handed over the money: "Thank you for running away, be careful, and invite a few masters to have a cup of tea." ”
"Where can you afford it, filial piety is polite, and the brothers will not bother." got the money, Zhuang Xun's attitude was so good, and the errand smiled like a chrysanthemum blooming.
"Filial piety, I'm going to be an official." Old Madam Chen also walked out with the support of everyone.
"The filial piety of Yin Dufu, how can he be a county magistrate." Other tenants and neighbors also commented.
"How can it be so easy, otherwise wouldn't the county orders of the whole country be all from Yin Du?"
"But the size must have an official position."
"You don't understand, the filial piety of Yin Dufu is not the filial piety of Yincheng County, which is equivalent to the top three in Xiucai."
"Zhuang Gongzi, let's go home first, this is a pleasure, it's time to celebrate, Ling Jiang prepares a table of good dishes, and invites Zhuang Gongzi to our house tonight." Old Madam Chen became more enthusiastic and instructed Second Uncle Xu to speak.
"Thank you for the love of the old lady, you don't have to be so troublesome, you don't dare to disturb more, and you will definitely visit when you are cured." Zhuang Xun excused himself and said, after speaking, he pulled Siqin Mi and hid back to his house.
Leave a group of onlookers who are still discussing the lively scene.
"Who is it? Why did you recommend me? "When I returned to the house, I frowned, did I have any nobles?
"Can't it be to see Lang Jun, your loyalty?" Siqin Mi smiled after speaking.
"If this is the case, it will save us a hundred taels of silver, and we are afraid of conspiracy in the shadows, such as the Zhenguo Mansion and the like, then we must be cautious." Zhuang Xun first thought that it was a conspiracy, and he crossed by himself, and it was the so-called imperial vein, and he was born with the constitution of being conspiracy.
"It's nothing to be filial piety, but I'm afraid to recommend Lang Jun to go to Xihe County as an official." Siqin Mi's willow eyebrows slowly tightened.
"It's true that they've all been broken now, but it's better to save the people for the sake of the officials." Zhuang Xun is also very pitiful when he sees the displaced refugees in the past few days, not that he can forgive them if he is beaten up, but that he will not label a group of people, such as Xihe people are all bad guys.
"The secluded country is raging in the West River, bandits are living, and the people's livelihood is withering, I am afraid that it is not to save the people, but to send their lives." Siqin Mi hit him and said.
"Now I just don't know the situation, who else in the Zhenguo Mansion will judge me as filial piety for no reason." Zhuang Xun didn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head.
"The soldiers will block, the water will cover the soil, and listen to the wind, and watch the trees be quiet, wait for a few days to recuperate, and the water waves will calm down and see the follow-up, if you really want to conquer Lang Jun to be an official in Xihe, then we will take the gold and silver and escape." Siqin Mi comforted Zhuang Xun and said.
"Maybe it's really just a well-wisher who sees my loyalty." Zhuang Xun didn't believe what he said.
"Well, it's a good thing to be filial piety, and the concubine will cook a good dish for you to celebrate." Si Qinmi smiled, and her charming smile made people feel calm.
"Lady, I'll help you." Zhuang Xun followed.
"Go and rest, it's been a busy day, you can take a break." Siqin Mi pressed Zhuang Xun's shoulder and pressed him on the bed.
"You've had a busy day, too." Zhuang Xun shook his head.
"The gentleman is far away from cooking, Lang Jun is now considered to have an official status, how can he start cooking and lie down." Siqin Mi said with a straight face.
"The gentleman who cooks far away means that he can't bear to see his death when he sees his life, which means to cultivate benevolence, not to say that he can't cook." Zhuang Xun retorted.
"You know so much, why don't you take the Xiucai exam?" Si Qinmi chuckled and asked Zhuang inquiringly.
"I'm just half a bucket of water, how to take the test, I can't bear to see the hard work of the lady." Zhuang Xun still stood up.
"Lang Jun, you know that you haven't healed from the cold, and you still go into the kitchen? You are not allowed to enter, and the concubine is in charge. Siqin Mi was condescending, she was half a head taller than Zhuang Xun, and Zhuang Xun was shocked by her temperament.
"Okay." Zhuang Xun gave up.
"Don't cook too much food, it's a pity to lose it, eating leftovers is not good for your health!" Zhuang Xun advised.
"The concubine understands." Siqin Mi pushed the door open.
On rainy days, the clouds become thin, and the clouds reveal a touch of orange sunshine, and the sky is clear after the rain.
