Chapter 209 Don't be an ungrateful person
Yuan Jiaqi is currently playing chess with Mr. Wang in Bichun Garden in the capital.
"Sir, is it not a problem for us to live in the capital all the time?"
"Holy will is unpredictable, he values you, maybe there is something for you to do, don't panic."
"Students don't want to do big things, they just want to start from a small county magistrate and do something practical for the people."
"Real facts? It's not the old man who hit you, do you have any money?"
"I!"
"Do you have power? You go to be the county magistrate alone. Without strength, you will be bullied by the locals and have no power to fight back."
"Do they dare to be disrespectful to court officials?"
"Respect? They didn't break the law. For example, they were hit by a disaster and they needed relief. What can you do with them? There are bandits, and they need to cooperate with them to arrest them. What do you do if they are fools?"
Yuan's family started to feel like a battlefield, and he frowned.
"How about that?"
"Train your own people, let them follow you relentlessly, listen to what you say, always charge in front of you, and resist all dangers for you."
"Guard?"
"There is also Master, the person who advises you."
The Yuan family nodded at the starting point, at this moment, the **** who sent the message from the palace came, and the emperor asked him to enter the palace.
Mr. Wang's face was a bit ugly. He didn't understand what happened to the emperor this time, and he kept delaying the Yuan family's presentation.
There has never been such a situation before, it really makes people feel a little confused.
Besides, Yuan Jiaqi followed the **** into the palace, and came outside the imperial study room, where the emperor was approving memorials.
Hearing the eunuch's reply, he didn't even raise his head.
"Let him in."
Yuan Jiaqi lowered his head slightly, without a trace of nervousness, and walked in calmly.
He never envied wealth and honor, never wanted to curry favor with the rich and powerful, he was able to be what he is today, thanks to the support of his wife and his own hard work.
Afraid of wool, but did not do anything wrong.
gave the emperor a big gift, "I see Your Majesty!"
"Well, get back on your feet. I came to you today because I have something to ask you."
The emperor still didn't look up, and was talking to him while approving the memorial.
"Please make it clear, Your Majesty."
"You must have a family at your age, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister not only has a family, but also has three sons and a daughter"
"Only one is your own, the other two are adopted, and one is your wife's daughter?"
Yuan Jiaqi didn't panic, and responded calmly. He must have investigated him before calling him here.
"The minister's wife is kind and treats my son as his own, so the minister must repay her sincerity."
"Well, I heard that you two respect each other like guests?"
The emperor even knew that the husband and wife did not sleep in the same room, so be good to me!
"It's because the minister's wife thinks about the minister and doesn't want to affect the minister's studies. We treat each other with courtesy before being admitted to Jinshi."
Every word he said was said after thinking twice in the brain.
"It's like this. My daughter fell in love with you when you were parading your horse through the streets. She came to me to ask for grace and wanted to recruit you as her son-in-law. I'm not a fool. You need to nod for such things."
When the Yuan family heard this, they immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I have a deep affection for my wife, and I will never do such a thing of divorce."
"What if I let my daughter be your wife together?"
"Impossible, Your Majesty, you may have investigated Weichen's past, and you know how embarrassing it was for me to take care of my son at that time. If my wife hadn't taken him in, if it hadn't been for my wife's full support, I wouldn't be able to be what I am now. I will definitely not do that." An ungrateful white-eyed wolf, besides, I have a deep-rooted affection for my wife, and I can no longer tolerate others in my heart."
The emperor raised his head at this moment and took a deep look at him.
"Well, even if you don't want to, I will force you, but you can no longer stay in the capital."
"I implore the Holy Majesty to send my minister to be a county magistrate in a remote place. I want to really do something for the people."
"Remote?"
"Yes!"
The emperor raised his brows, "I remember that your home is in Tianshui Town of Acropolis, which is almost close to the Beiguan Fortress. Why don't you go to Shexian County to the north of Tianshui Town?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your fulfillment."
"Well, go down, the official document will be in your hands in two days, and then take office immediately."
As soon as the Yuan family came out of the palace, they immediately wiped the sweat from their brows. He was not afraid of anything, but this. Mr. hinted that he should not fail Mrs. Qiao.
Back to Bichun Garden, the old man is waiting anxiously.
"how's it going?"
"Hey, the transfer order will come down in these two days."
"where to?"
"She County in the north of Tianshui Town."
"How could it be there?"
Yuan Jiaqi told her husband in detail about what happened after going to the Empress Palace.
"So that's how it is. Let me just say that the emperor was a little annoyed when you refused the marriage, but he is a wise king, so naturally he wouldn't order to forcefully marry the princess. Boy, you make this old man look at you with admiration."
"Sir, the student should not be that ungrateful person, besides, the student really likes Mrs. Qiao."
"Well, you don't need to take exams in the future, just concentrate on being the county magistrate. I believe that with your wife's support, you, the county magistrate, will do well. Also, spend more time on your wife in the future. Don't see me anymore. Books die."
"Yes, sir, but the students are stupid and don't know how to get along with the lady."
The old man's old face was also flushed, "I can't teach you about this, I will let my old wife teach you later."
In this way, Yuan Jiaqi and the old man returned to Tianshui Town in mid-May.
Qiao Mai was very happy when he heard that Yuan Jiaqi was assigned to the county town in the north, and cooked a large table of delicious meals by himself.
Because it was summer, she didn't cook those big fish and meat, she bought them all from the platform.
Like hot and sour boneless chicken feet, everyone loves to eat this bite, crisp and delicious garlic horseshoe, beef luncheon meat, dry fried small yellow croaker, spicy hairy crab, etc., all canned and poured into the plate. There is a full table, and what adults and children eat is a joy.
The old gentleman stroked his beard very beautifully, "It's still comfortable at home. I have stayed in the capital enough, and I want to come back every day."
"It happens to be close to home, so I can go home often."
"Yes, I'm really thinking about my wife's cooking." After finishing speaking, I blushed.
The old gentleman said a few words in the old wife's ear, the old lady pursed her lips and smiled, and nodded repeatedly.
Yuan Jiaqi stayed comfortably at home for three days, and then set off for She County to take up the post. The old man was afraid that he would have no help, so he asked his son for six guards, and followed him to take up the post.
Qiao Mai gave him 10,000 taels of silver as soon as he waved his hands, and asked him to watch and buy things.
It's hard for a clever woman to be without a hurdle, so he silently accepted it.
Mayor Qian did not come to join in the fun. He is not in Tianshui Town at the moment. He heard that his father passed away, so he went back to attend the funeral.
When Lu Sanniang heard that Yuan's family started high school, she prepared a copy of the ceremony and sent it to Xiuhong.
Qin Yide and Ruyi took a break, and came over to sit for a while the night before Yuan's family left.
Other people, either early in the morning or at night, came to congratulate when the weather was not hot.
The Yuan family is now an official of the imperial court. It is okay to come over and congratulate, but he does not accept gifts from anyone. The gift from Lu Sanniang, Qiao Mai also asked her to return it to her.
Originally, Qiao Mai wanted Mr. Wang to go with him to take office.
Unexpectedly, the old gentleman didn’t want to leave Jixiangyuan even if he was killed, and he didn’t want to be the military advisor of the Yuan family. Let him do his own affairs, and he told him in detail along the way.
I have analyzed for him what to do after taking office and what to do when things happen.
Seeing that it was the old lady, she had to ask the Yuan family to take Qiao Mai away and go to Shexian County together to take office.
Are you kidding, the whole Acropolis is in drought, she left, what about the family? What about water? She can't let her help him with affairs and manage the people of this city, so she won't do it, it's too tiring.
The old gentleman and the old lady looked at each other, and if they don’t go, they can’t force it.
