After the eunuch finished reading, he looked at Zhong Mingli with a smile and said, "Master Zhong, please accept the order."
"Ah, oh, um..." Zhong Mingli hurriedly took the imperial edict and continued to stand there blankly.
The two eunuchs looked at him, shook their heads secretly, but said nothing.
Everyone in their family does this without thanking anyone when receiving orders, and the two of them have become accustomed to it.
Chu Governor's trace of drunkenness had long since disappeared without a trace, and his throat felt a little dry.
The Magistrate of Ping'an County and the County Magistrate of Jingxian County have a much brighter future than he, the governor of Lingzhou.
He was transferred from the capital to Lingzhou, which was equivalent to a pension job, and his official career basically ended here. But Zhong Mingli was different. He was transferred from Lingzhou to the capital, and from the local area to the center. This will be a brand new
The starting point was the first step in his career transition.
Zhao Zhijie stood in the crowd and looked at Zhong Mingli with an expression of surprise and relief.
The other officials were shocked and envious.
"Congratulations, Mr. Zhong!"
"Upgrading several levels in a row, Mr. Zhong has a bright future..."
"Congratulations to Mr. Zhong on your promotion. Don't forget your former colleagues in the future..."
…
His concubine gave birth to a son, but everyone else was congratulating Zhong Mingli. Governor Chu stood there, feeling very uncomfortable. He squeezed out a smile on his face and said with cupped hands: "Congratulations, Magistrate Zhong..."
Zhong Mingli finally came to his senses, but did not respond to the crowd. He turned around and strode outside the governor's mansion.
After walking a few steps, he started to jog.
Then there's the rush.
No one laughed, and no one thought he was rude. It was just like when they were taking the imperial examination in high school, countless people cried and danced excitedly.
After Zhong Mingli's figure disappeared, everyone's eyes couldn't help but glance at Chu Governor.
At the banquet of cleansing the dust, the Chu governor was upstaged by the Zhong family's uncle.
Zhang's joy was disturbed by an imperial edict from Master Zhong.
However, now that Mr. Zhong is about to take office in the capital, it is not a bad thing for the Chu governor.
After Magistrate Zhong left, at least in Lingzhou, no one could steal his limelight...
…
In Zhong Mansion, Chen Yuxian and Zhong Yi had finished their lunch. Chen Yuxian stood up and said, "Qing'er, when the master comes back later, help him heat up the food and don't let him eat it cold."
Qing'er walked in from outside and said softly: "I know."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure ran in from outside the door, holding on to the door frame and breathing heavily.
When Chen Yuxian saw him, his face changed slightly, and he hurried forward, held his arm, and asked with concern: "Master, what's wrong?"
"Haha!" Zhong Mingli laughed twice, picked her up suddenly, spun her around twice, and said, "Madam, we can go to the capital."
Zhong Yi and Qing'er looked at this scene and stood there in shock.
Chen Yuxian's face turned red and he hurriedly broke away and whispered: "What are you doing? Xiaoyi is still here..."
Zhong Yi turned around quickly and pulled Qing'er to do the same.
Chen Yuxian pushed him away and asked: "What did you just say, why go to the capital?"
"We are going to the capital." Zhong Mingli looked at her and said with a smile: "His Majesty has just issued a decree to transfer me to the capital to be the magistrate of Ping'an County. I will take office immediately. Now my wife does not have to worry about being alone at home."
"Go to the capital and serve as the magistrate of Ping'an County?" Chen Yuxian touched his forehead and said in disbelief: "For no reason, why did your majesty order you to be transferred to the capital?"
Zhong Mingli froze on the spot.
There must be a reason for him to be promoted two levels in a row and transferred from a local area to the center for no reason, and this reason cannot be because His Majesty is full.
But apart from this reason, he couldn't think of any other reason.
He took out the imperial edict and murmured: "There is no way this edict is false, right?"
He did not doubt the authenticity of the imperial edict. Falsely spreading the imperial edict was a capital crime, not to mention that he had met the two eunuchs who delivered the edict once. But no matter how you looked at it, it was unlikely that such people would do good things from heaven with the imperial edict sitting at home.
will befall him.
The joy in his heart was temporarily diluted by doubts.
Not far away, Qing'er and Zhong Yi's faces were full of surprise. Soon, the entire Zhong Mansion went from silence to excitement.
…
Tang Ji strode in from outside and looked at Zhong Mingli with a look of disbelief: "Are you going to be promoted to Ping'an County Magistrate, or is this an imperial edict issued by His Majesty himself?"
Zhong Mingli nodded.
The magistrate of Yong'an County is from the sixth rank, and the magistrate of Ping'an County is from the fifth rank. This is an exceptional promotion, and the official department does not have such great powers.
"Did your Majesty take the wrong medicine? Why did you suddenly be promoted?" Even though it was not the first time he heard the news, Tang Ji could not hide the surprise on his face.
Zhong Mingli did not answer, but asked instead: "Where's Yaoyao, have you got her back?"
"Don't mention it." Rich Man Tang waved his hand and said, "None of her pursuers came back. I shouldn't have let her practice martial arts in the first place!"
Zhong Mingli shook his head and said: "If you can control her people, you can also control her heart. You still don't know Yaoyao's temperament. Even if you chase her back once, she will run away a second time."
Tang Ji looked at him and asked, "Why are you leaving?"
Zhong Mingli thought for a while and said: "The imperial decree says it is immediate, but you should have half a month to prepare and just arrive in the capital in early March."
Tang Ji nodded and said, "You go to the capital, watch over Dian Yaoyao for me, and tell her to come back early."
Zhong Mingli nodded and said: "Don't worry, she will probably find Ning'er when she gets to the capital. With Ning'er here, nothing will happen."
It was because of this that he was worried. Tang Ji looked at him with a hidden look, thought for a while, and said: "If there is nothing wrong, you should go there early, and I will send a caravan to escort you..."
…
Tang Ning wrote several letters, some to her father-in-law and mother-in-law, one to Xiaoyi Xiaoru, one to Fang Xiaopang, and one to Tang Yaoyao. Shopkeeper Xu has already sent the letters back. If you hurry up, it will take three to five days.
Arrive soon.
In the future, they should probably stay in the capital. Liu Laoer and the others will leave some people in Lingzhou, and the other key members will also go to the capital together.
Those who stayed in Lingzhou will continue to develop into the surrounding state capitals. Tang Ning does not want them to develop into a big force there, but his hope of finding the little beggar has not been completely dashed. It is worth investing no matter how much money and manpower he has invested in it.
.
As he walked upstairs, his right eye kept twitching, which made him feel a little vigilant.
I don't know why, but I've been feeling a little uneasy these past two days, as if something bad is about to happen.
He opened the door and felt a little cold.
It will be February soon, and the weather has begun to get warmer, but there is still a bit of spring chill, but usually it is not so cold inside the room.
The reason why the room is so cold today is because his window has been torn down.
Tangning quickly walked to the window and saw that two windows had been torn down and placed on the ground. Before leaving the room, he clearly remembered to close the windows tightly.
There was actually a thief in Red Sleeve Pavilion. Tangning opened the drawer and found that the money was still there, the exam papers were also there, and not a single important thing was missing. He looked around again and saw that except for the windows that had been torn down, there were no other items in the room.
The place was exactly the same as before he left.
There is another difference.
The curtains beside his bed were lowered.
There is a pair of pink embroidered shoes in front of the bed.
Very familiar embroidered shoes.
The evil Su Hu actually came to sleep with him again and demolished his window without saying hello...
Tangning strode over, opened the curtain, pushed her shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Get up..."
"Let me sleep a little longer..." Su Hu pouted in his sleep and turned over.
Xiao Jue came over in a short while, and when he saw it this time, he couldn't clean it up anymore. Tang Ning pushed her shoulder again, and Su Mei subconsciously held his hand, frowning and said: "Don't make trouble...
…”
Tang Ning stopped fussing because Su Mei held her hand tightly against her chest.
He felt very soft, and Su Mei felt exactly the opposite.
So she frowned deeper, her eyelashes trembled a few times, and then she slowly opened them.
When the beauty first woke up, her beautiful eyes were still a little dazed. After she met Tangning's eyes and looked down again, the dazedness disappeared without a trace in an instant.
