Outside the Yamen, the atmosphere was generally joyful.

Li Fusu looked back, about to laugh, but saw the expressions of Li Xian and his wife, and was slightly startled:

"Father and mother, what's wrong with you? Why don't you speak?"

"Ah, I was a little distracted just now. It's okay. Liang Han has been promoted and has a bright future. It suddenly dawned on him."

Li Xian looked sad and happy at the same time, waved his hands, sighed and said:

"This is what Liang Han's virtuous nephew deserves, and he is worthy of him."

The wealthy man couldn't help but relax his shoulders, turned his head and looked at his wife Wei Mei, and continued to murmur:

"Gold will always shine. We should have thought of it a long time ago. With the talents and merits of Liang Han's nephew, it is only natural that he can be promoted to the capital, be appointed as the imperial censor, and have a bright future. The hidden dragon is in the Yuan Dynasty

, soaring into the sky, absolutely true..."

Li Fusu listened and suddenly opened his eyes, thinking clearly about the pros and cons of this matter.

Needless to say, the pros and cons are that he has a great future and can no longer win over Brother Lianghan to stay with their family.

The sixth-ranking official in the capital does not serve as a censor, but stays in this inhospitable place to wait for them?

"There are experts over there in Luo Jing. They have a sharp eye and can see what Liang Han is capable of."

Li Xian's voice came. He rubbed his tired face, felt a little downcast, and murmured:

"That's right, this kind of relic in the wild is like a pearl in the night, how can he hide it secretly..."

When Li Fusu heard this, he felt disappointed in his eyes, but he was also happy for his friend's promotion from the bottom of his heart. He had mixed emotions:

"Father, let's not delay..."

Li Xian turned around and interrupted directly:

"Da Lang, go back to your home now and prepare a heavy gift, plus a hundred taels of gold, as a gift. After the envoy from the city of God leaves, the gift will be sent to the Meilin Courtyard."

The middle-aged wealthy man ordered with a smile, but could not hide the sad look in his eyes. Wei Mei stretched out her hand and gently covered the back of his hand.

Li Guoer silently listened to the words of the family behind her for a while. She suddenly turned her head and asked the smiling woman in red clothes in front of her:

"Sister Xie is also going to the capital?"

Xie Lingjiang didn't look back or answer, but asked softly:

"How can sister Guoer keep him now? Have you thought of a way? Do you need my help?"

Li Guo'er bit her lip and was silent for a while. She turned away, stared at the floor tiles next to her, and said unexpectedly:

"In Sister Xie's eyes, is Guo'er such a pure and unscrupulous person?"

"Sister Guo'er, do you know how to be ashamed?"

Xie Lingjiang nodded, gently touched the narrow sword box placed at his feet with his soft fingers, lowered his eyes and said:

"If Senior Brother doesn't want to leave, he won't leave at all. If he wants to leave, no matter how white lies, he will leave and he won't be able to stay.

"Just like now, how can sister Guo'er keep him?

"Promise to be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister? Is the eldest brother the kind of person who eats big cakes?

"Besides, with Senior Brother's ability, this weak sixth-grade person's bright future is soaring into the sky, is this difficult?

"If we only talk about pros and cons and not about friendship, why should we just bet on your family?

"Obviously there are more powerful and reliable choices such as Prince Xiang's Mansion, Prince Wei's Mansion, and Princess Changle, but the odds of winning both on and off the table are not higher than your family's?

"Even if it doesn't work out, you can remain neutral for the time being and follow whoever wins, or you can climb the mountain alone and accumulate capital, waiting for the future to be won over by the begging of all parties vying for power.

"Weighing the pros and cons again, wouldn't it be more sophisticated and prudent to make a lot of money with your butt off?

"Why do you have to make such a desperate move so early and take such a big risk for nothing?"

Li Guo'er was speechless, her palm-sized hibiscus face under the snow-white gauze blushing.

The little girl was a little embarrassed.

Xie Lingjiang didn't look back at her. He pressed half of the catkin on the edge of the box, closed his eyes and said:

"So I have already said that there is no need to hide some things from him. Besides, we can hide it for a while, but can we hide it for a lifetime?"

She seemed to be asking someone, but also seemed to be asking herself.

Li Guo'er was quiet for a while and asked without raising her head: "In that matter, Sister Xie still blames us a little bit?"

The girl in red clothes turned her head and said in a serious tone: "Is this called resentment?"

Li Guo'er found that Sister Xie's way of speaking became more and more intriguing, and she didn't know who she learned the "bad" thing from.

Li Guoer lowered his head and sighed softly:

"I don't blame Sister Xie for criticizing me. The way I did it at the time was indeed... something that needs to be discussed. But if I mention it now, it would be a loss of points even more and make everyone feel embarrassed."

Halfway through Li Guo'er's words, he suddenly found a white jade palm stretched out in front of his eyes.

"Bring me your wallet and borrow some for now."

Xie Lingjiang was not polite and reached out to ask for:

"My little treasury has been invested in the newly established babysitting department. In the past six months, I have tried to stand on my own feet. I haven't asked my father for a loan for a long time, and I am too lazy to go to Xie Zhai in Wuyi Lane."

The seventeenth most outstanding girl in the red dress stands tall, has a pretty face, and speaks in an orderly manner:

"After receiving the imperial edict, the eldest brother must entertain the Tianguan envoy and his entourage. It is inevitable to give gifts and so on. It is a common practice in the official circles of the Zhou Dynasty. The eldest brother must not appear too unsociable.

"I know Sister Guo'er has a lot of money. She received a lot from her last birthday gift."

Li Guo'er couldn't help but glance at Xie Lingjiang's side face.

"Sister Xie, this little junior sister, worries more than a good wife. She has thought everything out for him."

Complaining, the little girl with plum blossom makeup lowered her head, took out a bulging embroidered lotus wallet from her sleeve, and silently handed it to Xie Lingjiang in front of her.

The latter glanced at her sideways and put away his purse.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the gate of the county government office, and the crowd naturally dispersed.

Xie Lingjiang and Li Guoer turned around and saw that it was Luoyang Chiling and his party who were drinking tea in the county government hall. Accompanied by Ouyang Rong, they slowly walked out.

Ouyang Rong and Song Hao walked around, chatting and asking questions, as if they were saying goodbye.

"Master Song, don't you want to stay a little longer?"

"It still doesn't work. I rushed here this time because of Lianghan's affairs. Now... things have come to an end. It's better to go back and do business as soon as possible."

Song Hao sighed and shook his head, while Ouyang Rong nodded peacefully:

"Master Song, walk slowly and pay attention to safety on the road."

The young county magistrate seemed to be just being polite and had no real intention to stay.

Song Hao couldn't help but take another look at him.

Before leaving, the official, Wailang, nodded solemnly:

"Magistrate Ouyang, please stay. I will try my best to bring you the matters you have entrusted."

After a pause, he said again:

"County Magistrate Ouyang, see you later."

"Mr. Song, have a pleasant trip."

The two of them were polite as usual, said goodbye and left.

However, the people around me were curious to find that before leaving, Master Song, who was ordered by the gods, turned to look at Ouyang Rong, and his eyes seemed to be mixed with something strange.

The officials accompanying Mr. Song also looked sideways frequently before leaving, and glanced at Ouyang Rong a few more times. Their expressions were indescribably complicated, and they didn't know why.

Song Hao led a group of accompanying officials to leave one after another.

Ouyang Rong stood at the gate of the county government office and watched.

Xie Lingjiang, Li Xian's family, Diao County Cheng and other county officials quickly gathered around, most of them enthusiastic.

Diao County Prime Minister came up to him and said cautiously: "Ming Mansion, why is the imperial envoy walking so fast? Is there something urgent?"

The old county magistrate looked back eagerly at the direction Song Hao left, and it seemed that he was going straight to Penglangdu, preparing to leave by boat and return to Jiaojiao.

Ouyang Rong looked at it with him and nodded.

Xie Ling Jiang Su tossed her small purse and tilted her head curiously:

"Senior Brother, don't you invite anyone to come down for dinner? Give some gifts or something? After all, you have come all the way to deliver the good news. Do you think we don't understand the rules? We still have to be careful when sending favors... It's okay, Hua

Pin it, wrap it all up and wrap it up with my sister."

The girl in red dress said bluntly.

Li Guo'er: "..."

Ouyang Rong shook his head gently.

Li Xian and Wei Mei looked at each other and turned sideways to take the red cloth bundle from the tray held by the maid behind them. Li Xian and his wife stepped forward and put the bundle and a promotion gift into the hands of the young county magistrate.
