Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 624

Gu Defa said: "I will go next year."

Added another sentence: "I'm stupid, I can't pass the exam, my mother can't be the wife of the emperor."

Because his brother is dumber than him.

Gu Jinli smiled and said: "You are not stupid, you are the smartest in your family, if you study hard, you will definitely be able to pass the exam."

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 you can do it if someone recommends it, and it's fine if no one recommends it. It's not bad to work in a workshop."

If Mrs. Chen heard this, she would definitely pick up a stick and beat him up severely, scolding him for being worthless and only knowing how to work in the workshop.

Gu Jinli was startled: "You even know about being recommended to be an official?"

Gu Defa nodded: "I know. I heard from those old people on the way to escape from famine. One old man even boasted that his grandfather recommended him to be a meritorious service officer in the county when he was in the previous dynasty."

Then he asked Gu Jinli: "Sister Xiaoyu, what kind of official is Gongcao?"

"It's the county magistrate, the county lieutenant and other assistant officials." Gu Jinli looked at Gu De and said with a smile: "Brother Fa can go to school, maybe he can really 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 think so beautifully."

Gu Defa ate the pastry, and said very Buddhistly: "Then don't think about it, you should be content and always happy."

Gu Jinli: "..."

What the hell have you been through, kid? !

Gu Dewang patted Gu Defa on the head, scolded him for being a fool, and said to Gu Jinli: "Miss Xiaoyu, please ignore him, he has been weird since he was a child."

After mixing a plate of pastries and a plate of croquettes at Gu Jinli's house, the three left hand in hand.

In the days that followed, the weather became colder and colder, and cotton rose sharply. There was news that the situation in the northwest and northeast was getting worse again, and many people froze to death.

The third grandpa and the third grandma were very worried. They burned incense at home every day, praying for God to bless Gu Fuya's family.

Lao Zhu and He Sanlaizi once took the registration booklet given by the Jiang family to look for people in Changping Town, but there was no news of Gu Fuya's family, so it can be concluded that Gu Fuya's family either died or fled to the east. Yangji Mansion.

Everyone tacitly did not say that Gu Fuya's family was dead, but agreed that they went to the northeast, so the third grandfather and the third grandmother burned incense when they heard that the situation in the northeast was not good.

Gu Dashan comforted them: "You two elders, don't worry, sister Fuya's family is blessed with great fortune, and nothing will happen."

The third grandpa and the third grandma are now living with Gu Dashan's family, and feel that it is very unlucky to cry all the time because of Fuya's family. After being persuaded by Gu Dashan, they cheer up and live.

In mid-December, good news finally came from the capital. The water bandit case that had lasted for several months was finally closed. Zou Jiang, Gao Tong and all other criminals were beheaded!

There are as many as seven honorable families involved in the water bandit case.Among the seven families, there are three in Hou's Mansion and four in Bo's Mansion.Among them, the Marquis of Ruyang and the Marquis of Ankang were the main offenders. Not only were their homes ransacked, but all the three clans were also chopped off.

The remaining five noble families were ransacked and exiled.

In addition, there are more than a dozen families of officials involved in the case, all of which were ransacked. If the fate is good, they can go back to their hometown, and if the fate is not good, they will be exiled.

Because of the water bandit case, the whole capital was in turmoil. I was afraid that I would be involved in it as soon as I woke up, and I would end up in exile.

Emperor Chu was very satisfied with the results of the water bandit case, mainly because he ransacked his home and confiscated millions of taels of silver, as well as countless antique calligraphy and paintings.Therefore, Chu Huanglong was overjoyed, and issued an order to reward the officials who handled the case, and also explained to the servants, saying that this year's Chinese New Year will be held in a big way, and what should be done if the palace banquet has face.

There has been a two-year drought in the northwest of Great Chu, and there has been a military disaster. It has not been relieved yet, and there is another snowstorm in the northeast. The court should be frugal, but everyone is afraid of being killed by the Emperor of Chu, and they dare not touch him at this time.

The Emperor Chu was rich, so he gave out money very generously. Even County Magistrate Xu was rewarded with a hundred taels of gold and a mansion in the capital. When the imperial edict came down, County Magistrate Xu fainted again from shock.

Knowing his virtue, Zou Jiang had invited Dr. Zhou to wait for him. When the county magistrate Xu fainted, Dr. Zhou's needle came off.

The servant who came to deliver the decree saw it, and said with a joke: "Master Xu is really loyal to the emperor Chicheng as Ming Shaoqing said, and he was so happy that he was rewarded by the emperor."

Such a person is good, the emperor wished that all the officials in the court were as timid as the magistrate Xu, so that he could do whatever he wanted and not be influenced by the ministers.

After the servant issued the decree, he passed on the emperor's oral order: "The emperor wants to see Mr. Xu very much, and ordered Mr. Xu to go to Beijing with the slaves. On New Year's Day, we will go to see the emperor together."

This oral oracle seems to be grace, but it is very tossing.This place is far away from the capital city, and now the canal is frozen again. At this time, going to Beijing will have to travel through the wind and snow, and it will take half a month to arrive.

But this is the emperor's order, if the county magistrate Xu doesn't want to die, he has to follow it, and he hurriedly kowtowed to thank: "Thank you, Lord Long En."

The servant said: "Master Xu, get up."

He said again: "Your Excellency Xu doesn't need to arrange a good place for the slaves, we will go to Beijing in a few days, and we have the same surname, we are still a family, so there is no need to talk about those empty etiquette."

County magistrate Xu wants to cry, you are an eunuch, you are still a eunuch holding orchid fingers and raising a little girl, who is your family.

No, brother Xian of his family has delicate features, such a good-looking baby must be hidden, and cannot be seen by this old demon, or it will be ruined.

But Zou Jiang is very strong, he has already known from Ming Shaoqing's letter what this nephew Xu likes, and he is prepared, and he will not let the servant Xu fall in love with Brother Xian.

Zou Jiang stepped forward, bowed his body and said to Xu Neishi: "My lord, please come with this old slave. The old slave has arranged a small courtyard for you. Although it is not as magnificent as the courtyard in the capital, it is something that you love."

Who is Xu Neishi?Naturally, he understood in seconds: "Oh, then I must go and have a look."

Zou Jiang took Xu's servant to a different courtyard in the county town. Xu's servant really liked it very much and lived happily. He didn't cause trouble for the magistrate Xu for three days.

And county magistrate Xu and the others took advantage of these three days to pack up and arrange the affairs of the county government.

The day before he left, Zou Jiang sent a few posts to Gu Jinli's family, which were left to him by Ming Shaoqing. Now that he can't use them anymore, he can leave them to Gu Jinli's family.If something happened to Gu Jinli's family, he could take the post and go all the way to the capital to find him and Ming Shaoqing for help.

When Gu Jinli's family received the post, they were very grateful to Zou Jiang and the magistrate Xu.

County Magistrate Xu treated their family really well. Before leaving, he said a lot of good things about his family to County Magistrate Zheng, and even introduced Gu Jinan to County Magistrate Zheng. Now Gu Jinan and County Magistrate Zheng get along very well.

Village head He was more grateful to County Magistrate Xu than Gu Jinli's family. When he heard the news that County Magistrate Xu was leaving, he burst into tears and took the whole family to see Magistrate Xu off.

Along the way, he was still crying: "Master County Magistrate, why did you leave so soon, why didn't you stay longer?"

The corners of Gu Jinli's mouth twitched when he saw it. Those who knew it thought He He was going to see the magistrate Xu off, but those who didn't know thought he was going to a funeral. He cried so badly.
