Chapter 624 Farewell
Gu Defa said: "I will go next year."
He added: "I'm stupid and can't pass the exam. My mother can't be the imperial wife."
Because his brother is stupider than him.
Gu Jinli smiled and said: "You are not stupid. You are the smartest one in your family. If you study hard, you will definitely get a good name."
Gu Defa looked up at Gu Jinli and took a bite of the crystal cake: "Really? But I don't want to go to school... It's okay to be an official, but if someone recommends it, just do it. If no one recommends it, forget it. Working in a workshop is also good."
If Mr. Chen heard this, he would definitely beat him up with a stick and scold him for being useless and only working in the workshop.
Gu Jinli was shocked: "You even know how to recommend an official?"
Gu Defa nodded: "I know. I heard what the old people said on the way to escape. One old man even boasted that his grandfather recommended him to become a meritorious official in the county when he was in the previous dynasty."
He asked Gu Jinli again: "Sister Xiaoyu, what is the official title of the meritorious officer?"
"They are assistant officials such as county magistrate and county captain." Gu Jinli looked at Gu Defa and said with a smile, "Brother Fa can go to school, and maybe he can become an official in the future."
Gu Defa: "If you can become an official without taking an exam, I will do it."
Gu Jinli: "You have such a beautiful idea."
Gu Defa was eating cakes and said in a very Buddhist way: "Then don't think about it. As a human being, you must be content and happy."
Gu Jinli:
Child, what have you experienced? !
Gu Dewang patted Gu Defa on the head, called him a fool, and said to Gu Jinli: "Sister Xiaoyu, please ignore him. He has been weird since he was a child."
This oral message seems to be graceful, but it is very frustrating. This place is far away from the capital, and now the canal is frozen again. At this time, you have to brave the wind and snow to go to Beijing. It will take half a month to arrive. Xu County Magistrate's family has not been able to live well for years.
But this is the emperor's order. If County Magistrate Xu doesn't want to die, he must obey it, and he quickly kowtows to express gratitude: "I thank the Lord for your kindness."
The chamberlain said: "Master Xu, please get up."
He added: "Master Xu, you don't have to arrange a good place for me. We will go to Beijing in a few days. Moreover, we have the same surname and we are still a family. There is no need to talk about false etiquette."
Magistrate Xu wants to cry. You are a eunuch, and you are also a **** holding an orchid finger and talking, and raising a little boy. Who are you and your family?
No, his handsome brother is very pretty, so he has to hide such a good-looking baby so that this old monster can't see him, otherwise he's afraid he'll be ruined.
However, Zou Jiang is very helpful. He has already learned about the preferences of this servant Xu from Ming Shaoqing's letter, so he has made a good choice and will not let the servant Xu have the idea of Brother Xian.
Zou Jiang stepped forward, bowed and said to Mr. Xu, "My lord, please come with me. I have arranged a small courtyard for you. Although it is not as magnificent as the courtyard in the capital, it is something that my lord loves."
Who is the waiter Xu? Naturally, he understood instantly: "Oh, then I must go and see it."
Zou Jiang took Neishi Xu to a villa in the county town. As expected, Nei Shi Xu liked it very much and was very happy here. He did not cause any trouble to Magistrate Xu for three days.
Xi County Magistrate and others took advantage of these three days to pack up and arrange things in the county government office.
The day before leaving, Zou Jiang sent several posts to Gu Jinli's family. Ming Shaoqing left them for him. Now that he doesn't need them anymore, he can leave them to Gu Jinli's family. If something happens to Gu Jinli's family, he can take the post and go to the capital to find him and Ming Shaoqing for help without any hindrance.
Gu Jinlis family received the post and were very grateful to Zou Jiang and Magistrate Xu.
County Magistrate Xu treated their family very well. Before leaving, he said a lot of good things about his family to Magistrate Zheng, and also introduced Gu Jinan to Magistrate Zheng. Now Gu Jinan and Magistrate Zheng get along very well.
Village Chief He was even more grateful to Magistrate Xu than the Gu Jinli family. When he heard the news that Magistrate Xu was leaving, he burst into tears and rushed with the whole family to see Magistrate Xu off.
They were still crying along the way: "Master County Magistrate, why did you leave so quickly? Why didn't you stay longer?"
Gu Jinli's mouth twitched when he saw it. Those who knew it thought that the village chief was going to see Magistrate Xu off, but those who didn't know thought he was going to a funeral. He cried so miserably.
