Boom!
Boom!
...
At the moment when Mr. Xu said, "The county government will come forward", a
gong sounded suddenly and passed into the ears of Mr. Xu and Zuoqiu.
The sound of the gong was not close, but it quickly became a noise of gongs
and drums.
Moreover, the loud sounds of gongs and drums are getting closer and closer.
Father Xu and Zuo Qiu stood up at the same time, the voice was very familiar.
The next moment, Zuo Qiu shivered and said, "Brother Xu, let's talk about this
later, let's go and take the order first!"
Zuo Qiu immediately guessed what the tumultuous gongs and drums meant when he
was an official.
Think about it, too. Last time Elder Xu rejected the imperial decree, no
matter how things are ultimately handled, there must be an argument. Counting
the time, this imperial decree came a bit late.
But no matter how soon or late the imperial edict comes, it will come.
When the imperial decree came last time, the imperial decree arrived at the
county seat first and informed him, the county magistrate.
And this time, looking at this posture, he clearly bypassed his county
magistrate.
But one thing is certain, this time the imperial edict is a good thing.
Otherwise, there would be no such tumultuous noise at all.
Mr. Xu immediately followed Zuoqiu and led the family out of the yard.
As soon as the group walked to the entrance of the alley, they saw Yan Jing
holding the imperial edict and striding forward.
Then, it is natural to follow the decree.
And this time, Father Xu is absolutely impossible to reject this imperial
decree!
There is no mention of Dingbeihou in the imperial edict.
However, Mr. Xu's mother-in-law who died young was awarded the title of Mrs.
Zhenyi of the first grade. Because of her good teaching methods, Mr. Xu was
awarded the title of Mrs. Xiaoyi of the seventh grade.
Furthermore, even the old Mrs. Xu received a pardon from the eighth-grade
lady.
Of course, there is Fubao, who is still the homeowner of Defu.
"Chen, take the order!"
"Thank you for grace!"
This time, Father Xu accepted the imperial edict happily.
"Master Yan, all the hard work!"
After receiving the imperial decree, Zuo Qiu leaned in front of Yan Jing, "I
don't know if the subordinates did not do a good job. You are here, and you
won't send someone to say hello first."
"No no!"
Yan Jing was also quite embarrassed.
After all, according to the rules, even though he was an imperial
commissioner, his official rank was far higher than that of the county
magistrate, but when he went to work in a local area, he should say hello to
the local government.
"Master Zuo don't want to think about it. It's mainly because of this decree.
After a few days of delay on the road, he passed Master Zuo and went straight
here!"
"It's okay, it's okay, the next official just asks casually!"
Zuo Qiu got the answer, and there was nothing else to say.
Just after lunch at this point, Yan Jing hurried over with the people from the
Ministry of Rites. They were hungry right now. Father Xu simply led a group of
people to Sanhe Town, and hosted Yan Jing and his party at his restaurant.
The magistrate of Zuoqiu Zuo, who had eaten well, now, as a companion, can
only bite the bullet, how can he eat well?
Fortunately, Yan Jing is a nonchalant person.
...
When Mr. Xu greeted Yan Jing and his party for dinner, Zhao Bingzhen in the
inn opposite also got the news.
"Master, what do you think?"
"I'm watching it on my stomach!"
Hearing Zhao Rui's question, Zhao Bingzhen replied in an angry voice.
To tell the truth, Master Zhao Er is a little skeptical about life now.
He never dreamed that his nephew rejected the imperial decree, and instead of
being punished, he received even greater benefits.
"Xiao Wu, let people check, what happened during the time when Yan Jing, this
stinky boy, returned to Beijing!"
This kind of thing was completely beyond imagination, and the feeling of not
being in control made Zhao Bingxuan feel very powerless.
