Old Master Gao looked around and said, since there was no place to sit on the ground, it was impossible to sit on the ground, so he could only bow and stand with his head down, and said with a smile: "Sir, I am here to apologize, last time..."

"No need to explain." Lu Jinping interrupted him, "Explain his purpose directly."

Old Master Gao looked a little embarrassed and smiled embarrassedly and said, "The Lord is a god of medical skills. No one can save your daughter's illness except you. Therefore, I want to ask Lord Gao to take aside past grudges and save her life with compassion. This is a reward."

After saying that, Old Master Gao looked back at his wife. Mrs. Gao hurriedly stepped forward and placed the box of money and jewelry on the ground in front of Lu Jinping, opened the money box, revealing several dazzling strings of gold and silver jewelry and a pile of yellow and orange copper coins.

Lu Jinping did not look down at him, but just looked at Old Master Gao, but did not speak.

Mrs. Gao glanced at her husband and whispered to Lu Jinping with a smile, saying, "Sir, if you can save our daughter's life and cure her illness, you will give you all the money and jewelry. If you are willing to be a son-in-law in our Gao family, it is OK. Our master has promised that whoever saves her daughter's life can be recruited as a son-in-law as long as you are willing. Of course, Sir is also a prominent family. If Sir does not want to be a son-in-law in the family, it is not impossible to discuss this matter...

Lu Jinping still looked at them without saying a word. Seeing Mr. Gao and others furious, he didn't know what he was thinking.

For Old Master Gao and the others, they had already thought about all the ways they could think of, and Lu Jinping had to choose the rest. The third aunt had already made up her mind. If Lu Jinping was still unwilling to save his daughter, she knelt down and begged, begging her father and mother to ask him to save her baby daughter's life.

Finally, Lu Jinping spoke: "I have no interest in being your son-in-law, and I have no interest in marrying your daughter. However, I can save your daughter, and I don't want you to have a penny. As long as Mr. Gao helps me do something."

When Mr. Gao heard this, he was overjoyed. To be honest, he would rather spend money than let Lu Jinping be his son-in-law. After all, he still couldn't accept Lu Jinping's spending money to buy an official. He was unwilling to be his son-in-law by a prodigal son who bribed an official and became his son-in-law, even though he was his daughter's life savior. Now, Lu Jinping actually said that as long as he helped him do something, he could save his daughter's life. Such a good thing is really a pie from the sky. I don't know what he wants to do. He hurriedly bowed and said, "What are the instructions of the Lord? As long as I can do it, I will obey it."

"I want to reorganize my Lu family's family business, and that is to be an official. So, my condition is to ask Mr. Gao to help me find a job in Tongzhou Prefecture. - Note that it is an official position, not an errand, so don't take a yamen runner, a constable, or the like to make excuse me. What I want is a rank of the imperial court, and a criminal officer responsible for solving cases in the yamen."

Old Master Gao couldn't expect that since he proposed such a condition, he couldn't help but stand up thick eyebrows, without thinking, and flatly refused: "Absolutely impossible! I will never seek an official position for others!"

When his wives and concubines heard this, they couldn't help feeling depressed. They thought that the conditions proposed by Lu Jinping were easy to do with the conditions that the old man had served as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but they did not expect that the old man would refuse, which meant that his daughter's life would be over. The third aunt cried first. He didn't dare to beg the old man, so he could only be sad. The second aunt was busy and persuaded him, looking at Mrs. Gao beside him, hoping that she could persuade the eldest master.

Mrs. Gao frowned and sighed, as if she was talking to herself, and as if she was saying to her two concubines: "The old man was an honest official all his life. How can he do such a thing? In order to save his daughter, he would do things that go against his conscience. Wouldn't that ruin the master's reputation for a moment? We cannot be too selfish and help the unscrupulous people to obtain official positions."

When Ye Qingqing next to her heard that the Lord Jue was an unscrupulous person, his eyebrows were raised and he was about to attack. However, the Lord Jue was talking, and she, a girl, had no right to interrupt. She could only stare at Mrs. Gao with a pair of almond eyes and stare fiercely at Madam Gao.

Lu Jinping looked at Mrs. Gao, stood up, and said with his hands behind his back: "I heard that our Tang Dynasty wanted to be an official. In addition to the imperial examination, we can also pass the recommendation of high-ranking officials. Old Master Gao was once a high-ranking official in the court, so there should be no problem to recommend me to be a small official in Tongzhou. And the reason why I want to be a criminal official responsible for solving cases is because I have hobbies and abilities in this regard, and I can guarantee that I will never disappoint you if I become a criminal official."

Old Master Gao said angrily: "No matter how skillful you are, I will never agree!"

Lu Jinping shrugged: "It doesn't matter, since that's the case, please come back."

After saying that, he walked out.

The third aunt knew that once Lu Jinping walked out of this room, it would mean that his daughter's life would be ruined. The mother and daughter had a deep affection and didn't care about anything else. She knelt on the ground with a gurgle and said wailingly: "Sir, don't leave, please save my daughter's life, wuwu..."

Lu Jinping's pace was not slow at all and continued to walk towards the door.

The third aunt was desperate, turned around and threw herself to the feet of Mr. Gao, hugged his legs and shook it and said, "The old man begged you, just promise him, isn't it just a job to find an official position? He has promised that he will not let you down. Believe him. Since he has such medical skills at a young age, it means that he must have extraordinary abilities and will definitely be a good official. Don't you also have the responsibility to recommend talents for the court? Master, please..."

These words made Mr. Gao’s heart move. Seeing that Lu Jinping raised his legs and was about to step out of the threshold, he quickly said, “Sir, please stay!”

Lu Jinping stopped and did not look back, as if he was waiting for his words below.

Old Master Gao thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do this, I recommend you to be a doctor of medical treatment in Tongzhou Prefecture. How about it? Your medical skills are worthy of this, and it is reasonable to recommend you."

The system of imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty was far less developed than that of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Most of the officials in the Tang Dynasty were not only hereditary, but most of the officials in the Tang Dynasty were able to become officials by the recommendation of senior officials. The senior officials of the court were also obliged to discover and recommend talents for the court, and they were responsible for the virtues of the sponsors. If this official violated the law and discipline in the future, the sponsored officials would have to bear joint and several liability. Therefore, Mr. Gao had previously flatly refused because he felt that Lu Jinping spent money to buy an official showed that he was inferior in character and was unwilling to recommend him. He was also a wise man to protect himself, so he would not implicate himself in the future. However, what the third aunt said just now reminded him of Lu Jinping's medical skills. His daughter's illness could not be cured even in the imperial physician in the palace, but he could cure it. It was reasonable to recommend him as a doctor of the Tongzhou Prefecture, so he let go of this suggestion.

The doctor of the medical department in the prefecture government office was one of the lowest-level officials in the Tang Dynasty, down from the ninth rank. It is equivalent to the current director of the Health Bureau.

Lu Jinping shook his head, finally turned around and looked at Old Master Gao, and said, "I have no interest in doctoral doctors. I just want to be a criminal officer who solves the case. This is my dream."

Old Mrs. Gao didn't expect that Lu Jinping would be interested in an official who solved the case, and frowned and said, "I don't know if you have this talent, how can I recommend you?"

"I just said that I will let you know that your recommendation is correct. You must believe me, just like you must believe in my medical skills. If you need time, I can give you time, but your daughter probably won't give you time, so you must make a decision as soon as possible."

When Mr. Gao heard the word "daughter", he shivered and pondered for a moment, but he still said resolutely: "No! I believe in your medical skills. I can recommend you to be a doctor of medicine. This is based on your outstanding medical skills. But I don't know your ability to solve cases, so I cannot recommend you to be a criminal officer. This is my principle of being a human being. I will ask myself for integrity and integrity in my life. Even if you threaten my daughter's life, I cannot agree!"———————— [PS:] According to Lao Mu's
