Chapter 45: A Little Farewell

"Xian'er, since that Master Cui values ​​you so much, you must not disappoint this Master's expectations and cultivation. After three days, you can rest assured to follow Master Cui. The man has ambitions in all directions and must go out to make a living. On this point, Mother supports you. Mother knows that you are worried about mother, but mother is really fine, no matter how bad it is, Duan Fei can take care of you, so you don't have to worry at all." Chu Huang asked Chu Xian to relax, Chu Xian nodded, It was also fortunate that he had worked so hard to help his mother recuperate her body before, otherwise Chu Xian would really have no way to go this time.

"By the way, Xian'er, how does Master Cui plan to arrange you?" Chu Huang asked tentatively. She knew that when recommending to become an official, it is usually just to start with a small official and accumulate slowly. Official half-rank, no matter how you have to stay for a year or two.

When his mother asked, Chu Xian remembered that he hadn't read the letter from Li Yanji.

Taking it out at this moment, Chu Xian opened it and looked at it.

Although the letter was given to him by Li Yanji, it was ordered by Cui Huanzhi, so this letter was written by Cui Huanzhi. After Chu Xian read it, he smiled at his mother and said, "Master Cui is really as mother said, he values ​​children very much. To actually directly give the child a ninth-rank official position, it seems that he really can't live up to Master Cui's cultivation."

Chu Huang's fingers trembled excitedly, and hurriedly took it over for a look, only to realize that it was not a letter at all, but a "seal order".

The seal order is the order used by the superior to appoint the subordinate official. With this order, becoming an official is basically a matter of certainty. The only thing left is the last step, which is to report to the imperial court and seal Chu Xian's name into the seal. 'Official Code'.

The name entered the official code, blessed by the holy power, and then will be the real official.

"My son is going to be appointed as an official!" Chu Huang was very excited, and she did not blame her. If any family can produce an official, it is a matter of honor for all ancestors.

Especially in the Heavenly Tang Dynasty, being able to be appointed to an official position was something that many people dreamed of.The so-called officials are those who honor their ancestors and their descendants.

Seeing his mother happy, Chu Xian naturally smiled, but there are two sides to the truth, and there are two sides to everything. If there is a good side to anything, there must be a bad side.

To be an official is not only to glorify your ancestors and bless your descendants, but most importantly, you must be worthy of this official position and shoulder this responsibility.

In the next two days, the news that Chu Xian was going to become an official also spread like wildfire. At first, only Xu Duanfei and a few neighbors who were close to the Chu Huang family knew about it. Later, everyone in Quanling County knew about it.This time, the threshold of the Chu family was almost leveled by matchmakers. Although most people didn't know what kind of official Chu Xian was going to be, that was not important. What was important was that Chu Xian was going to be an official.

Anyway, in the eyes of the common people, being an official is a master official, who is already different from ordinary people.

In addition to the matchmakers, some wealthy merchants in Ling County also sent congratulatory gifts, but Chu Xian refused to accept them all. In the end, he was so annoyed that Xu Duanfei sent two yamen servants to guard the door. As long as they came to give gifts, they would be sent away Walk.

Xu Duanfei knew that Chu Xian would leave Ling County in two days, so he also discussed to take Chu Huang to live with him, but Chu Huang was unwilling, so Chu Xian followed his mother.

Now Chu Xian has a lot of money in his hand, leaving some for Chu Huang, and the other part for Xu Duanfei to find someone to repair the yard and house at home, after all, the old ones were too dilapidated.In the end, the remaining money was enough to buy a girl to serve Chu Huangshi.

With Xu Duanfei taking care of her and the little girl serving her, Chu Xian finally left with peace of mind.

Of course, before leaving, Chu Xian found an opportunity to teach Xu Duanfei the Vajra Xuankong Fist, and told Xu Duanfei that in the future, there is no need to practice the Black Sand Palm. The innate state of "Qi".

Xu Duanfei was naturally very excited. As if he had found a treasure, he had long seen that Chu Xian was not an ordinary person. His medical skills, his calmness in situations, and the knowledge that taught him martial arts all gave Xu Duanfei a sense of love. Chu Xian's 'awe'.

So although he was puzzled and curious, Xu Duanfei didn't ask about the origin of this Vajra Xuankong Fist. This was out of trust. Chu Xian was able to teach him this martial art without reservation. How could he live up to Chu Xian's trust?
Finally came the third day.

Early in the morning, a soldier wearing a narrow robe with a collar and a sword on his waist, riding a horse and leading a horse, rushed to Ling County and went directly to the gate of Chu's house.

"Master Chu, I am Qi Chengxiang, the sword commander of the inspecting division army, and I am here to pick up Mr. Chu on the order of Mr. Li, the captain of the division's military academy."

The voice is loud and full of confidence.

A few brats playing outside were so frightened that they dared not make a sound when they saw this majestic soldier.

Some even looked envious and yearning.

Chu Xian has been waiting for a long time, and he can't do without waiting. Before dawn, Chu Huang's family dragged him up, put on new clothes and shoes, and prepared the clothes and packages on the way last night. up.

The child travels thousands of miles and the mother is worried.

But Chu Huangshi hid this worry in his heart, but how could Chu Xian not see it? Similarly, he also hid the sorrow of parting in his heart.

The door opened, Chu Xian walked out, and Chu Huangshi followed. It can be seen that Chu Huangshi was trembling with his hands clutching the corners of his clothes.

"I have seen Master Chu!" The soldier named Qi Chengxiang immediately got off his horse and saluted solemnly. This is the official system of the Tiantang Holy Dynasty, rigorous and sacred.

Chu Xian returned the salute, then turned around and glanced at Chu Huangshi, then knelt down on both knees and kowtowed three times.

Chu Huang wanted to step forward to help her, but she knew that if she didn't let her son kowtow, her son would definitely not agree, but when Chu Xian kowtowed to the third head, she hurried forward to pull her son up.

"Mother, the baby is gone, you take care of your health, and it won't be long, after the baby's official position is stabilized, I will definitely bring my mother to enjoy the blessings." Chu Xian said with trembling lips, a little choked up.

Chu Huang nodded repeatedly, her throat moved a few times, and said: "Go, don't make Mrs. Cui wait any longer, remember, if it's cold, wear more clothes, don't catch cold."

Chu Xian burst into tears.

It was Chu Huang who said with a smile: "Silly boy, it's not that you're gone, you're gone, mother is fine, let's go, let's go."

Chu Xian just got up, and saw Xu Duanfei standing not far away, and the latter shouted at Chu Xian: "Brother, don't worry, I'm here."

Chu Xian nodded, then got on the horse.

In the Tiantang Dynasty, if it is not necessary, officials do not travel in sedan chairs, but ride horses. This is the official law. If it is a long distance, you can take a car, but Lingxian County is only [-] miles away from Ancheng, and riding a horse is enough.

Chu Xian turned his head three times at a step, while the Chu Huang family sent them all the way outside the county town's earthen wall.

"Mother, let's go back, get up early and be careful of the cold, the baby is gone." Chu Xian had stabilized his mood at this time, and he knew that it would be bad to hesitate any longer, so after speaking, he shook the reins and rushed away.

Until the back of Chu Xian could not be seen, the Chu Huang family still stood outside the earthen wall of Ling County, unwilling to leave for a long time.
