Chapter 375
"A man who disappoints his wife is not a good man."

Young Master Liu smacked his lips and left the study and rushed towards the front hall. The business war was imminent, and he had to discuss it with the old man.

This is a great opportunity, and whether the Liu family can take it to a higher level depends on whether they can seize this opportunity.

But after arriving in the living room, Liu Mingzhi saw an unexpected person sitting and chatting with the old man, it was Qi Run, his father-in-law whom he hadn't seen for many days.

In all fairness, as a son-in-law, Qi Run took good care of him, which is really good. He helped him a lot when he was in Jinling, although sometimes it was really tricky, but all in all, his merits outweighed his faults.

Seeing the appearance of Qi Run and Qi Liang, Liu Mingzhi had a flash of understanding, and he also understood why Qi Ya was in the mansion. It must be because he had not seen his daughter Qi Yun for many days. Qi Run brought a son and a daughter to visit relatives. .

After thinking about it, Young Master Liu felt a little embarrassed. The Spring Festival is coming, even if the capital is far away from the capital, in theory, it should be me, Qi Yun and my father-in-law to send a letter of greeting.

Now that Qi Run came to visit, Young Master Liu inevitably felt that he had neglected family affairs these days.

Sitting beside him was Qi Liang, who behaved stiffly, and he had no way of interrupting the conversation between the two elders.

"My son-in-law has seen my father-in-law, and my father-in-law is well."

Young Master Liu stepped forward in three steps and bowed in two steps. No matter why Qi Run was in the capital, he couldn't lose his etiquette. It was because of his son-in-law's etiquette.

Qi Run nodded in satisfaction when he saw Liu Mingzhi coming out from the back of the alley. After arriving in the capital, his daughter had written a letter and described the achievements of Young Master Liu. The number of youngsters who were able to be knighted without the help of family influence at an age before reaching the crown has exceeded [-]% of their peers in the Dalong Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Qi Run couldn't help but feel a little complacent. When Liu Zhian came to propose marriage, Qi Yun was so noisy that he didn't want to marry into the Liu family. He once said that although Liu Mingzhi is now a dude, he might not be a pillar of talent in the future , Sure enough, Liu Xiaozi did not disappoint himself. Not only did he win the Jiangnan imperial examination, but now he has become a dragon and phoenix among the people. Even if he is a third-rank official, he has only been to the palace once when he was a Jinshi, and the young man in front of him Already from time to time you can face the Holy Spirit.

The waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead.

"Mingzhi, don't be too polite, just now your in-laws were talking about you going out with Marquis Huguo, I didn't expect you to come back soon."

"Little brother Qi Liang pays his respects to the second brother." Qi Liang stood up from his chair and performed a salutation respectfully.

The ancients paid attention to the orderliness of seniors and young, so Qi Liang had to salute Young Master Liu as he should.

"My dear brother, you don't need to be too polite. I haven't seen you in ten months. You have grown taller and stronger." Liu Mingzhi looked at Qi Liang peacefully and nodded. He didn't have a good impression of the boy except when he first met him. It's getting better and better, his character is upright, impeccable except for his blunt temper.

Qi Liang nodded cautiously, and sat back down again.

Liu Zhi'an glanced at First Young Master Liu and heaved a sigh of relief seeing him alive and kicking: "Chang Kuang didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

"No, took me to the Longwuwei camp for a while, extorted some things from my son, and then persuaded me to join the army with him, that's all."

Liu Zhian's expression tightened: "You didn't agree, did you?"

"Of course not. I'm not that material. Joining the army is of no use other than delaying my legs."

"That's good, that's good. Although it's easy to get fame right away, you still need to put your head on your belt. Now that you are a nobleman, you don't need to go all out to get fame."

"The son has a plan in his heart."

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law is really busy these days, so I don't have a letter to you and mother-in-law, please forgive me."

"It's okay, it's good to be busy, I'll be upset if I'm idle at home."

"What my father-in-law said is that my father-in-law is exhausted, my son-in-law will arrange meals immediately, and I will tidy up a side room later. Since my father-in-law is here, I have to stay at the house for a longer time. It is rare for us to get together as a family. Let’s have a few drinks together.”

Liu Zhi'an and Qi Run looked at each other and smiled, Liu Zhi'an shook his head helplessly: "You bastard, your father-in-law has served in Jinling for three years, and this year the Ministry of Officials' merit examination department has verified his achievements, and his in-laws have been promoted to the doctor of the household department."

"Ah?" Liu Mingzhi was stunned for a moment and immediately came back to his senses: "My son-in-law congratulates my father-in-law on his promotion. In this way, we have to make a proper table."

"The day lily will be cold when your boy is gone. I have already arranged for your father to go. Just wait a while. I haven't seen my in-laws for a few days. I have to drink a few more glasses today to congratulate my in-laws on their promotion."

Qi Run heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Liu Mingzhi complicatedly. Back then, Liu Zhian used the incident between Qi Yun and Young Master Liu in the Misty Rain Pavilion to make Ji come to propose marriage, and even used the names of Minister of the Ministry of War and King Duan to coerce him. thing.

At the beginning, King Duan promised that he would be promoted to the Ministry of Military Affairs this year, but he would not be able to protect himself if Xia Gongming participated in a book, and his promotion to the Ministry of Military Affairs could only end without a problem.

Although Qi Run was a little regretful, but his daughter and son-in-law lived a happy and harmonious life. If they couldn't be promoted to the military department, they wouldn't be able to be promoted.

With Dalong's current transportation ability, it would be considered exhausting to meet him.

But unexpectedly, there was a turning point, because Wanyan Wanyan brought Jin Guo scholars to Jinling to compete with Jiangnan scholars, and Jiangnan scholars returned victorious.

Preserving the dignity of the country, this is not a small achievement in the examination of the meritorious service department. Ji Xunsi also greatly appreciated it. In addition, Qi Run has always been strict with self-discipline, and there has been no bad reputation. According to the plan, Emperor Li Zheng Zhubi gave instructions, and Qi Run, the governor of Jinling, was promoted to be a doctor of the household department.

A senior official in Fengjiang must be demoted to a higher rank to be promoted to a Beijing official. Jinling is the official residence of Shangzhou governor, from the third rank, and then Qi Run was promoted to the position of the household doctor and ranked the fourth rank. Local officials are promoted to Beijing officials, which is a threshold that some officials have exhausted their entire lives to pass.

As long as Qi Run doesn't make too many mistakes, it's okay to take the last step.

It's just that what Qi Run didn't know was that at this time, all the officials of the Ministry of Officials could bang their heads against the wall with regret. After the list was drawn up and submitted to the emperor, the Seal Inspection Department under the Ministry of Officials recorded and kept Qi Run's files. Liu Bold of the Ministry of Officials is related to Weng and his son-in-law.

But the list has been sealed by the emperor's Zhubi, and there is no way to regret it. If there is a big trouble, it can only show that the officials of the bureaucracy have a villain's heart to avenge their personal revenge, and they can only let it go.

But at least Qi Run is very grateful to Young Master Liu for his son-in-law. When the scholars of the two countries competed, it would be hard to say who would win without Young Master Liu. Nothing to do.

"Being able to promote the Ministry of Household Affairs to be an official Mingzhi is a lot of effort, otherwise, at most, he will be transferred to another state capital. Yun'er has found a good husband."

"Father-in-law is amazing, these are the results of his own efforts."
