Under such circumstances, can they still get such a vacancy? Pie in the sky? Or fall into a trap?
For the two of them, this errand was like a child walking with a cornucopia in his arms. There was no joy, only panic.
It was not easy to get laid off.
The three of them hurried back to Yong'an Houfu to find Liu Laosan for analysis.
"The magistrate of Liu Shuzhaohua County is Lu Tong, and the county magistrate is my uncle. The emperor appointed us two as replacements, but they were promoted?" Su Yongzhang was full of doubts.
Xiong Feng added: "How could such a position be our turn?"
Liu Laosan shook his head contentedly, "You are so smart, but sometimes you are as stupid as a pig! You all know that Zhaohua County is a favorite, how can you not know that?
The Emperor knows exactly who wants to take office there, and the reason why he lets you two go is because you are young and vigorous, you have not yet learned the dirty tricks of officialdom, and you are innocent, so when you get there, you will It won't cause any big trouble.
Secondly, you don't have a strong background and can't cause any big trouble. Thirdly, you are from Zhaohua County, so you know a little more about it than others, making it easier to get started.
Okay, it’s not a big deal, just work hard, as for Shen Yi’s promotion.”
Liu Laosan glanced at Shen Congrong and smiled, "Yue Zhang is the daughter-in-law-to-be of the eldest princess of Huai'an. As Murong Jue's uncle, the Emperor always has to help. It's not easy for him to promote Murong Jue openly. , but it’s always right to promote my godson!
In a few days, I will ask the housekeeper to clean up a yard and come out to wait for your father! ”
"Really?" Shen Congrong's eyes lit up.
He hasn't seen his family for two or three years, God knows how much he misses him!
Liu Laosan pretended to be angry, with a face full of impatience, "Can I still lie to you? Go, go, go, do whatever you want, don't be an eyesore here, it looks annoying."
The three of them quickly retreated.
In the past two years, the three of them have also made some friends in the imperial capital. Since they are leaving, they naturally have to say goodbye to them properly.
As a result, it took another two days to set off.
Here in Zhaohua County.
The imperial examination had just ended, and before Shen Yi and Lu Tong could breathe a sigh of relief, the appointment documents from the court came down.
Lu Tong was promoted to the rank of magistrate of Lizhou, the fifth rank. Before, he thought it would be great to be promoted to magistrate, but he didn't expect that he would be the magistrate of the state!
While he was overjoyed, he also did not forget to congratulate Shen Yi, "Brother Shen will be a doctor in the Ministry of Industry from now on."
The two were on equal terms after being promoted this time, but Shen Yi went to the Ministry of Industry and was more popular than him.
But Lu Tong is already very satisfied.
After returning, he told Tang's situation.
Mrs. Tang clasped her hands together in excitement, "God bless you! Our Lu family has managed to survive this time!"
After saying that, she sighed again, "Otherwise, this marriage must be accurate. Look, Shen Yi's original official position was not higher than yours, but now he has been promoted to the same level as you. He is still a doctor in the Ministry of Industry. His future is not good. Limited edition! ”
Lu Tong laughed and shook his head, "You said the opposite! This time I can be promoted to the prefect of Lizhou and I owe a lot to Shen Yi."
"How do you say that?" Tang looked confused.
Lu Tong explained to her carefully, "You have already said that Shen Yi's official position is not higher than mine. If we are to reward based on merit, we cannot be too different! The emperor should have already intended for Shen Yi to go to the Ministry of Industry. His Majesty wants I only promoted Shen Yi by the way.
If it weren't for Shen Yi, I would have been promoted to Tongpan at most, so do you think we should thank him properly? ”
Tang suddenly realized, "In this case, I really have to thank them properly."
She was not a stupid person in the first place, and Lu Tong understood it with just a few words. At the moment, she no longer had any thoughts of envy and jealousy. She only thought about how to have a good relationship with the Shen family, and she couldn't help but think about her daughter's marriage. Here in Shenjiazhuang.
Yu Bei drove the carriage into the village with a happy face and told everyone he met that Shen Yi had been promoted.
As soon as he arrived in front of Su Tai and replied, Shen Ying and a group of people from Shen Village arrived.
"Xiao Tai, I heard that Shen Yi was promoted? What official?" Xu asked excitedly.
"Could it be the county magistrate?" He said with hope on his face.
The most important person in their place is the county magistrate. If Shen Yi becomes the county magistrate, no one will dare to bully the people of Shenjiazhuang in the future.
Su Tai smiled, "I'm not a county magistrate, I'm a doctor from the Ministry of Industry."
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why.
Su Tai had to explain carefully, "There are six departments in the imperial court, and the Ministry of Industry is one of them. The doctor of the Ministry of Industry is the fifth rank, and the county magistrate is the seventh rank."
Everyone will understand it this way.
Shen Ying was so excited that she trembled, "So our village has a big official! Hahaha, I have to tell the children and teachers in the village school about this news quickly, so that everyone can be happy too!"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Shen Zhuang was also smiling from ear to ear, "We have to open an ancestral hall to worship our ancestors!"
While Mrs. Xu was happy, she thought of another point, "Xiao Tai, according to what you said, Shen Yi is going to be an official in the imperial capital and can't stay here!"
Su Tai nodded, "That's true."
"What about you? Are you going to follow?" Mrs. Xu's heart tightened, and the smile on her face faded a bit.
Su Tai nodded again, "If Shen Yi goes to the imperial capital, I will definitely go with him, but I have to discuss it with the eldest princess again. After all, Ajue's child is still in our Zhaohua County.
Besides, if I really wanted to go, I would have to take all three children with me, which would be a lot of inconvenience. ”
Shen Zhuang understood, "It's really inconvenient for Shen Yi to go to the imperial capital alone. It would be much easier if you help him. Even if your family has a big business, what about these businesses in the village?"
Su Tai pursed her lips and smiled, "Second uncle, the business in the village is still the same as before. You can all take care of the arrangements. I don't need to worry about it. The biggest problem is the seafood trade.
This deal is already eye-catching. Now that we are married to the eldest princess of Huai'an, it is not appropriate to continue this deal. If I go to the imperial capital, this deal will be discontinued. ”
"Hiss!" Everyone gasped in shock.
It took Xu a long time to find her voice, "Quit? Are you really willing to do such a profitable business?"
Although their family is not involved in the caravan trade, Shen Zhuang goes there every year to help, so he probably knows some details, and the seafood is a huge profit!
Su Tai smiled bitterly, "It's okay not to give up! One thing you may not know is that seafood is not an ordinary trade. There are many poisonous things in the sea, and they are extremely toxic. If you accidentally eat one bite, you will die. Those seafood you see are all I went through it in advance, and the poisonous things were dealt with in advance
I don't dare to leave this job to others. If someone loses their life, the gain will outweigh the loss! ”
Everyone was so frightened by Su Tai's words that their faces changed.
Shen Zhuang suddenly realized, "No wonder you have to do it yourself every time the seafood comes. No matter how we persuade you, you don't listen. I thought it was because seafood is precious and you are worried."
Su Tai smiled, this excuse can be regarded as an excuse to make up for those previous actions and prevent everyone from thinking too much about it in the future.
Mrs. Xu was very disappointed and a little unwilling, "Didn't you find a bunch of people back from Qiongzi? Do you know them who live by the sea?" (End of Chapter)
