Chapter 176

back home.

Fat Miao'er and Li Xiaodao rushed to Zhou's house impatiently.

In the West Wing.

Zhou Laosan sat on the kang, Li Xiaodao and Fat Miao'er sat opposite her, and told what happened today.

"Father, brother wants to enter the yamen, can you help me find a relationship and clear it up?" Fat Miao'er looked at Zhou Laosan expectantly.

Zhou Laosan thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I will take you to Brother Yang tomorrow to ask."

Since becoming He Bo's deputy envoy, he has experienced a lot, and his mind has become brighter, and he is no longer as rigid as before.

And this request was made by Fat Miao'er, whoever he refused, would never refuse Fat Miao'er.

"Thank you dad!" Fat Miao'er smiled sweetly.

"Thank you third uncle!" Li Xiaodao stood up and nodded slightly.

"You child, it's all thanks to the family."

Zhou Laosan complained.

"You two haven't had dinner yet, you wait a moment, I'll go to the kitchen to warm up the food for you."

Zhou Laosan stood up and was about to go out.

Seeing this, Fat Miaoer quickly stopped him.

"Father, don't bother me, my sister and the others are cooking dumplings at home."

Hearing this, Zhou Laosan stopped, turned around and urged: "Then you go back quickly, don't make Ye'er and the others wait impatiently, I will go to your house to find you tomorrow morning."

"Good dad."

Fat Miaoer agreed, and left Zhou's house with Li Xiaodao.

Inside the hall.

After the five of them had dinner, they sat on chairs to discuss tomorrow's arrangements.

"Brother, bring some gifts to Yang Shu tomorrow, so that the third uncle will look better." Luopan suggested.

When it comes to gift-giving and camping, Luopan is the best among the five.

Because of his young age and thin body, he couldn't exert great strength on the pier, so Compass could only do the work of leading people and running errands.

"Well, I thought so too." Li Xiaodao nodded.

It would be too ugly to go there empty-handed.

"Then what is the right gift?" Wei Shu asked.

"Give me two jars of bars!"

Fat Miao'er said, she remembered hearing Zhou Laosan mentioned that Yang Shu is a good wine man.

"Okay, pass by the town tomorrow morning and buy two altars to take with you." Li Xiaodao said.

……

Early the next morning.

Zhou Laosan came to Fat Miao'er's house early.

"What are you going to do?"

Zhou Laosan looked at Fat Miaoer on the donkey cart and asked.

"I'm going to help big brother!" Fat Miao'er said crisply.

"What can you do, come down quickly, it's cold, you've been running back and forth all day, and you're catching cold again."

Zhou Laosan said with a concerned face.

Fat Miao'er stood up, grabbed Zhou Laosan's sleeve, shook it back and forth, and said coquettishly, "Father, I wear a lot of clothes, so I'm not cold at all."

"No."

Zhou Laosan scowled.

"Father, just let me go..."

It was another coquettish act, but Zhou Laosan had no choice but to agree.

He got into the donkey cart, held Fat Miao'er in his arms, and covered him with a quilt to avoid catching cold.

"drive!"

With a pull of the reins, the donkey cart started to drive towards the county town.

When they arrived at the county seat, they bought two jars of wine. Zhou Laosan insisted on spending money, but Li Xiaodao stopped them.

County Inspection Department.

Zhou Laosan asked the two of Fat Miao'er to wait outside, and after showing his token, he strode in.

After a while, Zhou Laosan and Yang Shu came out from the inspection department.

Yang Shu said as he walked, "Third brother, I'm so glad you came to see me. Let's go to the restaurant now and get drunk."

"Brother Yang, I'm here to ask for something." Zhou Laosan lowered his voice.

"Our brothers are friends who have passed their lives. If you don't ask for anything, it doesn't matter."

Yang Shu waved his hands with pride.

"Brother Yang, this matter..."

Zhou Laosan hesitated to speak, and looked around.

Yang Shu is also a smart person, so he understood immediately.

"Come on, let's go to my house and talk."

Yang Shu took Zhou Laosan to go home. Zhou Laosan had been to Yang Shu's house and came to give gifts a year ago.

"Wait, there are two more over there."

Zhou Laosan pointed to Fat Miaoer and Li Xiaodao who were waiting in the distance.

"There are two more?"

Yang Shu looked puzzled and looked in the direction of the finger.

"Isn't that Xiao Dao and Fat Meow, come here quickly."

Yang Shu called out the names of the two, and stretched out his hand to beckon.

Hearing this, the two came over leading the donkey cart.

"Hello, Uncle Yang!" Fat Miao'er called out crisply.

"Hello little fat meow, why do you feel like you've gained weight again after the new year?" Yang Shu joked with a smile.

"Is it bad to be fat?"

Fat Miaoer asked innocently with wide eyes.

"Okay! Of course! The fatter you are, the happier you are. I really envy the third brother." Yang Shu laughed loudly.

"Uncle Yang, I brought you two jars of wine as a token of my heart, don't be disgusted."

Li Xiaodao took the wine from the donkey cart and handed it to Yang Shu.

"Thank you Knife!"

Yang Shu directly reached out to take it, the two jugs of wine were worthless, only fifty coins, so he was not polite, and he was good at wine.

"Uncle Yang is being polite."

Li Xiaodao nodded slightly.

"Let's go, don't stand here, go home and talk about something."

From Li Xiaodao giving him two altars of wine, Yang Shu can see that he must be the one who asks for something.

After a while, several people came to Yang Shu's house.

Yang Shu's mother is Mr. Cao's cousin, and she has always had a good relationship, and she is also taken care of by Mr. Cao, so she lives a relatively prosperous life.

Yang Shu's house is a courtyard with three entrances. Yang Shu's family lives in the front yard, his elder brother's family lives in the middle yard, and Yang's father and mother live in the backyard.

Several people came to the lobby of the front yard, and Yang Shu's wife withdrew after serving tea for them.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, Yang Shu asked, "Third brother, what do you want from me?"

"Brother Yang, Xiao Dao took the yamen servant test yesterday. He passed the test for the first time, but because he is too young, he is unlikely to be selected."

"We heard that the final candidate will be decided by Director Cao, so I would like to ask brother Yang to recommend it, let us..."

Zhou Laosan didn't say the rest, picked up the teacup and sipped it lightly, and took a deep look at Yang Shu.

When sending money to Ambassador He Bo, it was Yang Shu who took Zhou Laosan there, so he knew it well.

Hearing this, Yang Shu said: "I know about this, the county has been full of uproar these two days."

"It's not easy for Xiaodao to pass the first test at such a young age."

"It's not a problem to make a recommendation, but I can't guarantee whether it will be successful. After all, my cousin has to follow the rules and can't play favoritism."

Zhou Laosan flattered: "I know, I know, no one in Yulin County knows who Master Cao is."

"As long as Brother Yang helps to introduce, I will be grateful. How dare I have other extravagant demands."

"Okay, third child, it's good that you know. My cousin usually handles official business in the Yamen in the morning, and he will go home in the afternoon. How about I take you there in the afternoon?" Yang Shu asked.

"No problem, it happens that we are also preparing for it. I wonder what hobbies Mr. Cao has?"

Zhou Laosan asked a question on the sidelines.
