The reputation of the champion sounds very loud, but in fact, the official position is not big, which is very different from what is said in the play.

In the drama, being admitted to the top prize is equivalent to flying on the branches, either a colt or a majestic official who can turn things around.

But in fact, if you are admitted to the top prize, you can only be awarded one official position from the sixth grade - Hanlin Academy.

However, it cannot be said that the future of this petty official is hopeless, because the Hanlin Yuan is the reserve of Dasheng officials, according to statistics, more than 100 Zaifu in the previous dynasty, ninety percent of them came from the Hanlin Academy.

Dasheng inherited the old system of the previous dynasty, and since its establishment, in addition to the group of old ministers who followed the emperor to fight the world, eighty percent of the remaining cabinet scholars are from the Hanlin Academy.

Therefore, entering the Hallym Academy is a promising future.

After the decree came down, Li Qiao went to the Hanlin Academy to report for work, and took leave to return to his hometown.

Li Qiao was in Yuanhe Province, and according to the rules of the imperial court, he could take four months off.

After successfully getting the leave approval, Li Qiao returned to the rented place, and he and Tao Zhu began to pack their luggage and buy items.

Yes, their husbands are buying and buying again.

He hired a caravan from the Han family to accompany him back to his hometown, and no matter how much he bought, the convoy could fit in.

However, while buying, buying, buying, he still has to wait for Zhuang Wen, Xu Ying, and Meng Yue.

The official positions of the champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua were customized, and the edict was given on the second day of the Qionglin banquet.

However, because of the large number of new scholars, the edict of the official is slow, and it may not even be at all.

Fortunately, Xu Ying, Meng Yue, and Zhuang Wen were lucky, and after waiting for five more days, their edict of conferral also came down.

Zhuang Wen entered the Ministry of Industry, which has four subordinate departments, namely the Headquarters, the Yu Department, the Water Department, and the Tuntian Department.

Zhuang Wenjin is the Yu Department, this is the department that manufactures, sends and receives official utensils, and also casts money, it is a department that does not look obvious but is actually inseparable, Zhuang Wen is the head of the Yu Department, is seven products, and the grade is the same as Xu Ying.

Meng Yue entered the prison hall of the Criminal Department, this prison hall was to inspect the prisoners in the prison of the Criminal Department and take charge of the work of a group of jailers, Meng Yue was the main business of the seventh grade.

Xu Ying entered the household department.

Dasheng has 12 provinces, so the household part is divided into 12 departments, one of which is in charge of taxes, fields, household registration, etc.

The household department is the most popular department among the six departments, but although Xu Ying entered the household department, the department he entered was outside the twelve, called the rice silver department.

This department is in charge of the food expenses and administrative expenses of the yamen of various ministries in Shengjing, and Xu Ying is the head of Zhengqipin.

He has a serious official position, Zhuang Wen, Meng Yue, and Xu Ying are all very happy, especially Zhuang Wen, his palace examination is not as good as Meng Yue and Xu Ying, but his official position is the same as Xu Ying's, one level higher than Meng Yue, this is because the Ministry of Industry is not as popular as the Ministry of Household and Criminal Department, and the promotion potential is small.

But Zhuang Wen is very satisfied, even if he is a positive seventh grade in this life, it is also a glorious ancestor.

Zhuang Wen is also going back to his hometown, and he wants to bring his family over.

But Xu Ying wanted to be busy with fifty sets of clothes with Shen Hua, and the saint gave a deadline to make fifty sets of clothes at the end of the month, so he and Shen Hua couldn't go back to Hexi Mansion.

However, Shen Hua asked his maid Xiaoqiu to go back with Li Qiao Taozhu so that he could report to his family.

Meng Yue didn't plan to go back either.

He is a small official, and there seems to be no hope for promotion, but since he has obtained such an official position, he should be conscientious, so he plans to join the company earlier.

Moreover, the earlier you join the company, the sooner you can get paid.

He now owes Xu Ying a debt, if he goes back, he will have to spend money on food and accommodation along the way, but if he joins the company early, then he can get his money as soon as possible, not only does he not have to spend money, but he can also earn money.

Although his official position was small, he was good, so he asked his eldest brother to go back with Li Qiao, and he and his younger brother stayed in Shengjing.

So, in mid-April, Li Qiao Taozhu took Li Ershan Li Xia, together with the Zhuang family and Brother Meng Yue, followed behind the Han family caravan and embarked on the road back to his hometown.

Different from the nervousness and hard work when they came, on the way back to their hometown, the mood of a group of people was only a faint melancholy in addition to happiness.

It's good to be officials, but they are all Beijing officials, and they want to stay in Beijing in the future and stay away from their hometowns.

Li Qiao is okay, he is not a local, and he does not have deep feelings for Sanliu Village.

But Zhuang Wen is different, he has been in Sanliu Village for 50 years, seeing that he is old, half of his body is in the ground, but he is about to leave his hometown - although he is not unable to live in his hometown, he is indeed forced to leave his hometown.

This is how he is not melancholy.

After a month and a half of melancholy, at the end of May, a group of people returned to Pingcheng.

Li Qiao was the champion of high school, and the imperial court had already sent officials to Sanliu Village to report the good news, so the people of the entire Pingcheng had already known that Li Qiao had won the top prize.

Zhuang Wen, Meng Yue, Xu Ying and Li Qiao have a good relationship, and they are all from Pingcheng, so the official messenger who reported the good news reported the good news to Sanliu Village.

From the day they sent off the official errand, Zhuang Fengshou and Li Liang lived in the county seat, and the two of them did nothing every day, only waiting at the city gate.

They waited, and so did the people of Heijo.

There were many pedestrians on the adobe brick road between Pingcheng and Fucheng, and when approaching the county seat of Pingcheng, some people recognized Li Qiao and Tao Zhu, who were sitting on the wheels to catch the car.

After recognizing Li Qiao Taozhu, as long as there was nothing important, they all followed behind their ox cart.

Hey, Zhuangyuanlang, the living Zhuangyuanlang, the Zhuangyuanlang who can only be seen on the stage, is really appearing in front of them now, which makes them not curious!

What's more, this person is still the famous Li Qiao!

Li Qiao will definitely stay in Beijing, unless he returns to his hometown in the future, he should never return to Pingcheng in his life.

It's really a look at one less glance.

You have to take a look at it, and by the way, you can get a touch of the joy of the champion!

As a result, there were more and more people behind the ox cart, and by the time Li Qiao Taozhu and the others arrived in Pingcheng, there were already hundreds of people behind them.

At this time, hundreds of people also gathered at the gate of Pingcheng, and there was a growing trend.

Some horseback riders on the adobe brick road ran to Pingcheng early to report the news after seeing Li Qiao's pottery bamboo, and the people of Pingcheng knew that Zhuang Yuanlang had returned, and everyone who had nothing important at hand also came to see Li Qiao.

Among them, Li Liang and Zhuang Fengshou rushed to the front, and the two sides saw each other, except for Li Qiao, they were all teary-eyed.

After going out for half a year, I finally came back!

"Let's go, go home, it's all waiting for you." Li Liang smiled with tears, grabbed Li Qiao's hand, pointed in the direction of Sanliu Village, and trembled with excitement.

Zhuang Fengshou was in tears, and he also grabbed Zhuang Wen's hand and shook it uncontrollably: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”

Zhuang Wen looked at his old father, who was over seventy years old, crying silently, and the melancholy in his heart was even stronger.

Tao Zhu looked at this scene, his eyes were red, and his eyes were full of water droplets, which were crumbling and could fall at any time.

The Tao family didn't come, but Pingcheng is also his hometown.

Before he left, he began to feel sad.

"Don't cry, I'm here."

Li Qiao took out a hand from Li Liang's hand and held his hand, and shook it lightly a few times.

Tao Zhu turned his head to look at Li Qiao, took the tenderness on his face into his eyes, couldn't help pursing his lips, and hummed heavily.

Although he is reluctant, he is where Li Qiao is, as long as he is with Li Qiao, he is home everywhere!

Waiting for the crying to stop for a while, Li Qiao said goodbye to Han Ning and the eldest brother of the Meng family, he asked Xiaoqiu to take the carriage containing Shen Hua's gifts to the Shen family, he said a few words to the many villagers at the city gate, and then returned to the village.

Someone has already run to Sanliu Village to report the good news.

The people in Sanliu Village estimated the time and felt that Li Qiao would come back in the next few days, so even if the wheat harvest was in place, he hadn't been on the ground for several days.

When the annunciator came, the big guys soon gathered under the big tree at the entrance of the village.

Zhujia Village is not far from Sanliu Village, and Village Chief Zhu specially sent people to stay in Sanliu Village to know the latest developments in Li Qiao.

So, when Li Qiao Taozhu and his party came back, the people from Zhujia Village were also there.

"Uncle, I want to kill you!" Li Dashan hugged Li Rui, and together with Zheng Qianqian, he rushed over and shouted without waiting for Li Qiao's ox cart to come under the tree.

Zheng Qianqian also shouted, and his eyes reddened as he shouted: "Uncle Zhu, you are back!" ”

Li Xiaorui, who was in Li Dashan's arms, also waved his arms like lotus roots, and shouted with a smile: "Uncle, father! ”

Li Qiao saw Li Dashan's big white teeth from a distance, couldn't help laughing, and waved his hand.

Tao Zhu wiped his eyes, his nose was sour again, hey, it will be difficult to see Brother Qian in the future.

When they came to the big tree, they saw Wang Guihua, Li Shu, Li Gu, Li Chuntao, Li Dazhong Baiyu and others, and the two sides were crying and laughing.

The Zhuang family also laughed and cried, and each recounted what they missed in the past six months.

After a while, when the emotions of the family members had stabilized, Li Qiao stood on the wheel and looked at the surrounding villagers.

Looking at the familiar smiling faces, tens of thousands of emotions poured into his heart, and he smiled and said: "I'm going to trouble everyone again, start celebrating the day after tomorrow, and set up a flowing water banquet for seven days!" ”

This is what he and Zhuang Wen discussed, Sanliu Village has produced a champion and a top three jinshi, this is a great joy, the time of the flowing water banquet must be longer than the time when people are raised in the examination!

When Li Qiao's words fell, everyone responded loudly.

"No trouble! It should be! ”

"It's a great honor to be able to hold a banquet for Zhuang Yuanlang!"

"That's it, it's good to be able to hold a banquet for Li Qiao again."

……

Not only Li Qiao sighed, but also many villagers.

Who would have thought that the best of the best, which was tied with Tao Shu, would become the champion of Dasheng in just five years.

Moreover, even if he has the aura of Zhuangyuanlang on his body, Li Qiao treats everyone as always.

He said troublesome, hey, Li Qiao hasn't changed!

Many villagers are at ease.

Before Li Qiao took off, everyone was worried, afraid that he would not look down on the big guy after he soared into the sky.

Now they don't have to worry.

Next, many villagers began to prepare for the flowing water banquet, whose pigs to use, whose chickens, ducks and geese to use, these have long been clearly divided, and now they can be slaughtered directly.

And Li Qiao Taozhu is going home.

Zhuang Wen also returned to the dealer's house.

Everything has not changed in the house, the gate is hung with the holy imperial pen plaque, and the yard is clean.

In several large kitchens, pots and stoves are burning.

Li Dashan, Li Chuntao, Li Shu and others are still making dim sum, and the familiar sweet smell wafts in the air.
