At this moment, Governor Ji looked at his son with a look of disgust for no reason... He had been someone else's son. Look at him, then look at you...
Why is there such a big gap between son and son?
Everyone in the Accord, except him, felt that Magistrate Su was lucky to have gained His Majesty's ear and had His Majesty write his own letter to transfer him to a county on the outskirts of Beijing as the County Magistrate.
Only he knows that this is not the case at all!
Didn't you hear His Majesty's imperial edict to transfer the county magistrate to where?
Transferred to Anding County!
Where is Anding County? That’s Xu Qing’s fiefdom!
The last time he was in Qingxue's study, he heard it clearly.
Today, Magistrate Su is transferred to County Magistrate Anding. Who would believe that there is no trace of Xu Qing behind him?
The Su family is afraid that it will skyrocket in the future.
Fortunately, through my unremitting efforts, the relationship between the two families is not only good now, but also they have accumulated favors in advance.
At this moment, the governor of Ji silently prayed in his heart: Xu Qing, you must be more angry! When I am transferred to the capital in the future, I will point at you!
From the very beginning, Governor Dong worked his way up step by step based on his facial expressions and Feng Shui. He had no connections and no resources in the court.
Being able to make friends with one more person may be a help in the future. Now that I have established a good relationship with Xu Qing, if one day I am transferred to the capital, Xu Qing and the connections Xu Qing has accumulated in the capital during these years will be a big help!
As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a governor who doesn't want to be a prime minister is not a good governor.
He! Jisong! has a big dream!
…
Xu Qing had just fed Su Qian and came out of the kitchen when he saw Magistrate Su trotting back from outside happily.
There were actually beads of sweat on my forehead in the middle of winter, which showed how excited my father-in-law was when he ran back laughing all the way.
Xu Qing looked at Magistrate Su and wondered: "Father-in-law, did you... pick up money when you came back?"
Finding money wouldn't make my father-in-law so excited.
Dusk had come, and through the dim candlelight on a lamppost nearby, Xu Qing seemed to see Magistrate Su holding something like this in his hand. It looked quite soft and swayed with the sway of his father-in-law's body.
Could it be a banknote, right? If you picked up a banknote, you would have reason to be excited, and it is such a big banknote!
Wait... How can a banknote be so big?!
Magistrate Su held his hand on the door of the small courtyard, took a few breaths, and finally calmed himself down, saying, "What's money? Let's go to the capital!"
Su Qian walked out of the kitchen with a satisfied look on her face, looked at Magistrate Su and asked doubtfully: "The capital? Why do you want to go to the capital?"
County Magistrate Su stepped forward, shook the thing in his hand, and then spread it out: "I just received your Majesty's decree during the dinner table. I will transfer my father to Anding County and be the magistrate of Anding County."
Magistrate Su has been magistrate of Yong'an for more than ten years!
These hard days are finally over!
When Xu Qing saw the imperial edict unfolded by Su County Magistrate, he immediately lost interest and thought that his father-in-law had picked up the money! He was so happy for nothing...
The position of Anding County Magistrate was decided internally between him and the Xian Wang. There was nothing surprising for Xu Qing, but money was different. There were surprises everywhere in this thing!
And the more, the merrier!
Su Qian looked at this imperial edict through the dim light of the lamppost. Although she was a little confused about why the emperor only issued an imperial edict to his father when there were so many county magistrates in Da Chu, it was always a happy thing for his father to receive the imperial edict from his majesty.
Su Qian said: "Congratulations, father."
Su County Magistrate waved his hand and said: "Speaking of which, Xu Qing also shares the credit. It says that my father has repeatedly solved strange cases. Most of these cases were solved by Xu Qing, especially when the new law was promulgated.
If Xu Qing were not proficient in the law, my father would not be able to be promoted."
Xu Qing wanted to say something at this moment: Father-in-law, you may not believe it, but your promotion is actually all due to me.
But he was afraid that what he said would damage his father-in-law's self-confidence, and in order to worry about his father-in-law's dignity and face in front of his daughter, Xu Qing still said: "Congratulations to your father-in-law on your promotion. In fact, my son-in-law didn't do anything to help your father-in-law."
...It is all because of my father-in-law that he has managed Yongan County in an orderly manner and made outstanding achievements, which is why he is promoted today."
[Digression: Xu Qing: In fact, I just missed watching the emperor write the imperial edict...]
County Magistrate Su waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't flatter me as a father. If you are happy today, you and I will open a jar of wine and let's drink it up."
As expected, my father-in-law is still reluctant to give up his official position. If the family is happy, he would still like to be an official.
However, for my father-in-law: money＜being an official＜I am the King of Heaven＜Su Qian.
When Su Qian saw Magistrate Su saying he wanted to drink so happily, she did not spoil his mood. She just went to the kitchen and silently took out a jar of wine, and then went to the kitchen to cook two dishes to go with the wine.
However, in order to prevent his father-in-law from getting drunk, when Su Qian was drinking wine, Xu Qing specifically told Su Qian to just get ordinary wine and never take out the Bamboo Leaf Green.
Xu Qing and Magistrate Su sat at the wine table, and Su Qian filled the wine bowls for them.
The father-in-law picked up the wine bowl, touched it with the wine bowl Xu Qing held up, and drank it all in one gulp.
Before Xu Qing could drink the wine in the bowl, his father-in-law fell unconscious on the table...
Xu Qing looked at the wine in the bowl, then at Magistrate Su, and finally at Su Qian: "Mother, did you get the wrong one?"
Su Qian looked at Xu Qing with an innocent face and said, "It's true that what I got was just ordinary rice wine."
Xu Qing's nose twitched, and the wine in his hand did not have a strong smell. He wondered: "Why is my father-in-law's drinking capacity so bad? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be the case!"
Su Qian said: "I smelled the odor of alcohol when my father came back just now. Most of the odor of alcohol must have been blown away by the wind on the way back. It must have been at the banquet and he drank a lot.
I have been so excited that I have been able to hold on until now.”
Xu Qing looked at Magistrate Su who was lying on the table. Alas, don't be impatient if you can't drink. You have to carry your father-in-law back by yourself.
Dong's Mansion
Governor Dong looked at the words written by his son, then threw them on the ground and said angrily: "Not only are these words for next year's imperial examination, but even my father's eyes can't see them! You have been reading for so long, and you have read all the words."
Did it go into the dog’s belly?”
Dong Hao looked at his father in confusion. Although his father was usually strict, he never beat or scolded him. What happened today?
Governor Dong looked at the silent Dong Hao and said with a solemn face: "Why don't you speak? Are you mute?!"
Dong Hao plucked up the courage to speak: "Father, my son feels that this poem is already better than the few words you praised my son in the past. You have said all those words well. Why is this word..."
Governor Dong slapped the table and stood up: "How dare you talk back, you traitor!"
Dong Hao: "Didn't you ask me to say that?!"
Dong Governor pointed at Dong Hao and said loudly: "You dare to talk back?! Tell me about you, you are a son, Xu Qing is also a son, look at Xu Qing, and then look at you! Don't you feel the slightest bit of shame?
?!"
Dong Hao stood silently and lowered his head. Compared with Xu Qing, he had no confidence at all!
The governor looked at Dong Hao who didn't speak and sighed silently, murmuring: "Why aren't you a girl..."
Dong Hao, who was standing aside, suddenly widened his eyes... How on earth did his father complete such a blunt turn?
Weren't we still discussing poetry just now? Why did it suddenly jump to men and women?
