Chapter 971： Don't look at what you shouldn't look at!

Chapter 971 Don’t read what you shouldn’t read!

"By the way, I went to deliver snacks to my father yesterday and saw the list of officials. My father is going to give officials to the new scholars!"

The third princess took credit with a happy expression, "I secretly took a look at the roster. Do you want to know where your eldest brother and the others have been assigned to serve as officials?"

"No!" Jiayin said with a smile, not being fooled, "They have learned all their skills just to serve the country and be loyal to the emperor. The emperor can arrange them wherever they go, and our family has no objection."

“Oh, you are too boring, echo me, you can use less meat!” The third princess scolded and stamped her feet angrily.

Jiayin has been with her for so long and knows her temper very well.

If you don’t ask further questions at this time, the third princess can say more.

Sure enough, the third princess started talking like beans from a bamboo tube.

“Your eldest brother is the number one scholar and has been given a sixth-grade official position. He is scheduled to go to the southwest to become a county magistrate. It seems to be very close to the Lu family, so I’m not afraid that he will be bullied there.

“Your sixth brother is of the seventh grade and was left in a small county more than 300 miles southeast of our new capital. There is also Baozhu, her brother, who was left in Honglu Temple and is also of the seventh grade.”

Hearing the good news, I breathed a sigh of relief. The appointment was as expected by the family, and no one paid much attention to it, but no one interfered secretly. This was the best result.

She asked smoothly, "What about Brother Lu? He must be staying in Xindu, right? After all, you have to prepare for the wedding."

The third princess blushed and replied, "He was left by his father to study in the Hanlin Academy, but he was given a fifth-rank official. He is the highest among the new scholars, higher than your eldest brother."

Repair books?

Jiayin frowned slightly, remembering that when his brothers talked loudly and were high-spirited, Brother Lu was also the most insightful one among them.

Now, for the rest of his life, he will have to stay in his room and study every day. He will not be too happy...

But in the final analysis, this is not her biological brother, and his future has nothing to do with her.

She put the thought behind her and entered the house with the third princess.

Soon, Shui Ling went home and picked up the reluctant little fox, and Zhilan Palace returned to its usual bustle.

The little palace maids secretly took some dried meat and stuffed it and secretly fed it to the little fox.

If anyone is favored by the little fox and is lucky enough to give her a bath and comb her hair, that will be enough to make all the little sisters envious and jealous for a long time...

Two days later, Jiayin heard that the imperial edict and the Ministry of Officials had issued an official document, so he hurriedly left the palace and went home to take a look.

The weather is fine, and the trees on both sides of the Imperial Palace Road are green, and the shade of the trees is falling, which is very cool and comfortable.

The little fox was too lazy to walk, so he lay in Jiayin's arms, waiting for his master to take him out of the palace.

Jiayin scolded it smoothly, "You are getting fatter and lazier with food. Now you don't even want to walk. If your legs degenerate in the future and you encounter bad people, you won't be able to run anymore." Let’s see what you do!”

The little fox squinted his eyes and let out a lazily cry, not sure whether it was coquettishness or protest.

Shui Ling took a few steps and was about to take the little fox when the little fox suddenly raised his head and looked at a corner warily.

Jiayin, Shui Ling, and Shui Yun quickly looked over, but they could only see a back figure, which disappeared in a flash.

The little fox jumped up and was about to run over.

Jiayin pulled it away and pushed it back into his arms.

Shui Ling blinked and asked in a low voice, "Princess, I seem to see..."

"Shut up!" Jiayin interrupted her and whispered, "You haven't seen anything, and don't tell anyone. When you see this person in the future, you have to pretend you don't know him, you know?" Shui Ling was stunned. He was stunned and wanted to speak, but Shui Yun covered his mouth again.

“Princess, I will keep an eye on the water, don’t worry.”

Jiayin nodded, hugged the little fox and walked ahead.

Shui Yun let go of Shui Ling and glared at her, "I'll tell you in the evening."

Shui Ling shrank her neck, she also knew that she had been rash just now.

The master must have some concerns to prevent her from talking. But she didn't suppress her curiosity. She really had no rules.

The three masters and servants quickly left the corridor and arrived at the entrance of the palace.

Mu Jue, who was secretly following them, turned around and quickly sneaked into the palace...

In the Earl's Mansion, everyone had returned from Broken Gold Beach a long time ago, and they were very happy because they had just received two official documents.

Jiaren is located in Fengshan County, which is thousands of miles away. It is only a hundred miles away from the border. It can be said that it is right under the nose of the Lu family.

Brother Li was assigned to Qingming County. Although it was three hundred miles away from home, compared with Fengshan County in Jiaren, it was not that far away.

Li Laoer patted his son and looked at his nephew, his eyes full of joy.

The Li family can finally be said to have established a firm footing, with their son and nephew having real jobs as herdsmen. In ten years' time, the Li family's place in the court will surely shine.

At that time, he will no longer be alone. He can be laughed at by others for not having real talent and learning. He relied on his family to get his current official position, but his son and nephew are not!

“Okay, okay! From now on, you will also be an official from one parent. Always remember that you are a child from a peasant family. Don’t let down the high expectations of the people, and you must be a good official!”

"Yes, dad." Jiaren quickly saluted in response, and brother Li followed suit, "Second uncle, I also noted it down."

Everyone was smiling, but they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in their hearts.

Jiaren is just fine, he has a stable temperament and is not too young, but brother Li is really a bit immature. If he were an ordinary child, he would still be studying in college.

But this boy was lucky enough to follow his elder brother and get admitted as a Jinshi.

In a few days, I will go out to serve as an official. What if I encounter those treacherous squires and wealthy households who bully Brother Li who is young and ignorant?

Thinking like this, Li Laosan, who rushed back after hearing the news, said, "Second brother, we must bring more reliable manpower to Brother Li.

“We don’t want to get any benefits in Qingming County, at least we can’t let our children be plotted by others.”

Li Laoer immediately responded, "I think so too. Bring more of the veteran guards at home to Brother Li. Bring a few reliable young couples in the village. As for the capable stewards, you still have to write to the eldest brother. Let the elder brother arrange it.

"I will go to Liu's house again, meet Mr. Liu, and ask him to help find a suitable master to help with official affairs. I must ensure that brother Li has passed his three-year term first. By then, it will be good if he has experience Done.”

Wan'er also interjected and said, "The court has given me half a month's leave. During this time, I will work hard to prepare the luggage for my husband and my sixth brother."

“Okay, thank you for your hard work.” Li Laoer nodded, extremely satisfied with this virtuous daughter-in-law.

Jiayin was sitting among his brothers, and he quickly said, "Second uncle, third uncle, and old uncle Hei have walked through Southwest several times.

“It happens that they are also in the village now, why not let them **** my eldest brother to take office, and then bring me some medicinal materials and local products along the way.”
