The old gentleman nodded frequently after listening to the student's words. It was really commendable that the student was so humble and sober-minded.
It was originally meant to be a disciple, but now it is no longer: "A real man should be so magnanimous in his life. You are still young, and you can gain a future on your own and benefit your wife and children."
This praise was a bit high, and Zhou Lan's face turned red, but he also yearned for it.
Old gentleman: "Since we are going to the county government office, we don't have to wait until the afternoon. Although your father is gone, your teacher is still there. Take my name card and go to the government office."
Zhou Lan was surprised for a moment. Is there such a treatment?
Looking at the name card handed over by the teacher: "This, this, the students are scared."
The old gentleman was very casual: "Why don't you recognize me as your master?"
Zhou Lan: "Students don't dare." He respectfully accepted the greeting card from his husband, and was forced to go to the county government office by his husband.
Seriously speaking, Zhou Lan respected his husband from the bottom of his heart, but when his father was still alive, he was a real fourth-grade man. If he went to the county government with his name card, there would still be many things to avoid.
But I can't live up to my husband's wishes like this.
Thinking that he had been protected by his master, Zhou Lan felt sour for a long time.
In the past, whenever Zhou Peng, the eldest master of the Zhou family, came back to his hometown, the county magistrate would come to see him. At that time, as the son of the Zhou family, it was not difficult for Zhou Lan to meet the county magistrate.
But things are different now. After the yamen officials reported the matter for a long time, Zhou Lan was still waiting outside the county yamen.
However, Bingbi from the same county government office inquired about many violations and kept them in mind, and when he was about to return to Zhuangzi, he was ordered to take care of them. One day, he was found guilty. Regarding the second wife, Zhou Lanna
Very cautious.
It was almost noon when the government officials let Zhou Lan in to meet the county magistrate.
The county magistrate held a cup of tea high above him and said, "Mr. Zhou, what's the matter with you?"
Zhou Lanxin said that it was no wonder that he had been waiting for so long. People thought that he was asking for help: "Reporting to the county magistrate, it is indeed difficult for me to come to pay my respects today."
The face of the county magistrate is not very good.
Zhou Lan: "When my father was still alive, the servants and servants in the house were all in accordance with the regulations of the court. Now that my father is gone, I am ignorant and don't know what these regulations should be. Please give me some advice from the county magistrate."
The Lord County Lord put down the tea cup and looked Zhou Lan up and down: "I see, it's very good that you can think of this. Later, ask the clerk to come to your village and help you take a look. When Lord Zhou was here, he took care of the village.
This county has also benefited a lot. If anything happens, Mr. Zhou can just ask."
This is really a lot to say, and the county magistrate did not expect that he could think so thoughtfully at such an old age.
This kind of thing, as long as you ask for it, there is no answer. Moreover, although Mr. Zhou is no longer around, Mrs. Zhou is still here. After all, she is still a woman of class. It is not too much to say that she is over the top.
It was only then that Zhou Lan presented the famous note: "I am ashamed of myself, but I still need my master to protect me."
Zhou Lanxin said that the master's feelings can only be protected as much as he can. If he did not hand over the name card, he would be disrespectful to the master.
The county magistrate took the name card from Zhou Lan and stood up: "It's Mr. Digest. My dear nephew, you really have a good opportunity."
As he spoke, he burst into laughter: "Just tell me how could Mr. Zhou not settle the young master properly. He really has the heart of a loving father."
Zhou Lan's mouth twitched. He didn't know the husband at home, but he still knew the font size of Digest.
Man Baoding Prefecture, that is to say, Lord Zhizhou can be equal to Mr. Digest. He is a legendary existence, and he is a real great gentleman.
Just like what the county official said, it was really, really a good opportunity.
The county magistrate's attitude towards Zhou Lan immediately changed. He handed the name card to the government servant beside him: "After registering, I will return the name card to my nephew."
Having a teacher immediately changed him. From the boy of the Zhou family, to the young master of Zhou, now he has become a wise nephew.
Moreover, the county magistrate said: "Since it is Mr.'s name, why would you ask a junior official to go over there? My dear nephew, you are being too cautious."
Zhou Lan replied humbly: "I dare not harm my teacher's reputation."
Lord County Lord: "Well, with such a temperament, it's no wonder that I can become Mr. Digest's disciple."
Followed: "That's fine. After two years, after you become an official, it's just a matter of changing the procedures."
Zhou Lan didn't dare to speak any more. What the county magistrate said was as if having Mr. Wenzhai as his teacher gave him a guarantee to enter an official career.
How much effort did my husband put in to find such a gentleman for himself?
What surprised Zhou Lan the most was that such a gentleman said that he did not dare to delay his brother-in-law. What kind of qualifications did that little kid still wet the bed have?
It makes being a brother-in-law feel even more stressful.
The county magistrate enthusiastically pulled Zhou Lan to talk about family affairs, mainly about the master, and then said: "Speaking of which, Quanzi married a daughter of the Jiang family. You should still be brothers-in-law. Why don't we see you walking around?"
Zhou Lan twitched his lips: "I met my brother-in-law at my father-in-law's house. I haven't settled my family affairs yet, so I didn't come to bother him."
Lord County Lord: "Okay, okay, you and your brother-in-law are also destined to be together, so don't be so open-minded."
When he came out of the county government office, Zhou Lan had been standing there for a long time. He needed to digest all this news.
At first, my father-in-law politely sent me a master. I really felt that I couldn't let my father-in-law's thoughts go to waste, so I became a disciple.
Who knew my father-in-law’s thoughts were so deep.
Only then did I remember how stupid it was for me to become a disciple without even knowing the basics of the master.
If I don't ask anything, the teacher will definitely not think that I have inquired clearly with my father-in-law.
So what image do I have in the teacher's mind? He is reckless and ignorant.
Zhou Lan blushes now when he thinks about it. The teacher may have noticed his stupidity.
If you don't have some insights when you go back, I'm afraid this student will be punished miserably.
On Jiang Changxi's side, he had been calculating since Zhou Lan left. Those who did not comply with the regulations were actually the subordinates of Zhuangzi.
My biological father is famous, so he can get some quotas, but there are also people in his village.
How to arrange these servants in order to ensure a smooth transition for Zhuangzi requires a lot of thinking.
Jiang Changxi was thinking, if it doesn't work out, let Chang Le take the merit examination as soon as possible. The child is too young to be qualified.
It's a pity that the mother-in-law is not with them, otherwise it wouldn't be like this. The mother-in-law has class in her body.
Thinking of her mother-in-law and her possible plans, Jiang Changxi felt sad for Zhou Lan. It was really not easy.
While he was thinking about it, Dafu came back to report, and the housekeeper came over with the store manager.
You should come back sooner or later. Jiang Changxi has already prepared: "Let people come in."
