A poor family counterattacks, she is beautiful and sassy on the way to the imperial examination

Chapter 167 Chapter 167
The journey was bumpy, and everyone was very tired. An Chuxia and the others didn't talk for long, so they asked Liu Xiang to take Bai Yunduo to the packed room to rest.

An Zixi and Zuo Wang accompanied An Jinchen to his room.

Only An Chuxia and Wang Libin were left in the hall. No one spoke for a while, only the crackling of charcoal fire in the stove.

The outside wind blows up and hangs on the door, and the rough cloth is covered with a curtain made of wool and grass, and a slight chill is blown in from the gap.

Wang Libin held the hot teacup, and bursts of warmth spread from the palm of his hand to his body.

"Brother, have you thought about going up to another level?"

"Click" the sound of the tea lid falling on the cup, Wang Libin looked at An Chuxia in surprise, "Junior Sister, what did you say?"

Wang Libin simply felt that his personality was not suitable for being an instructor, so he never went to the Ministry of Officials to ask for errands. However, he has been studying since he was a child, and he is not good at other things.

He has been active in the capital for a long time, and since he was born as a Jinshi and does not have a strong background, it is difficult to find a job better than Jiaoyu.

Sometimes it is worse to be a Jinshi than a Juren, even if you want to start from the eighth or ninth grade county magistrate and master book.

When you are the county magistrate of the superior, you are afraid that you will easily replace him, and you would rather promote someone who was born in Juren.

Nor would he accept the same fame as him, and do such a job with Jinshi.

This is also the reason why most of the county magistrates and master books in the county government are recruited.

No matter how good they are, it is difficult for them to become county magistrates because of their lack of background.

Wang Libin was in the capital, and when he was about to wait until he was disheartened, he received a letter from An Chuxia, and he knew in his heart that his junior sister was taking care of him.

Mo Ziluo and Chen Han also said that he could help the younger sister when he came, and they decided to come here after discussing with the younger brothers.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the junior sister said something that surprised him again.

Wang Libin, who has been a senior for several years, knows that An Chuxia is not someone who likes to tell lies, so he asked: "What do you mean, senior sister, senior brother doesn't understand?"

An Chuxia saw that Wang Libin's face was expressionless, because he felt special joy when he heard that he could be promoted to a higher official position, and he agreed with his brother's character more in his heart.

So he said: "A while ago, the county magistrate in the county government was dragged to Jizhou City and beheaded for committing a crime.

It's not that the position of the county magistrate is empty now, if the senior brother is interested, I, the county magistrate, still have the right to report to you for promotion. "

"No!" Wang Libin frowned slightly.

"Senior Brother knows that Junior Sister is doing it for my own good, but Junior Sister has never thought about it, not long after you came here, the county magistrate committed a crime and was executed.

I came here to be the master book through the appointment of the Ministry of Officials, even if others know that we are from the same hometown, they can't say anything.

But if I take over the position of the county magistrate now, and you report for promotion, it will be easy for people to say that you exclude dissidents and are nepotism. "

An Chuxia suddenly realized that she only felt sorry for her senior brother. As a fellow Jinshi, it is also possible to be the county magistrate of a small county.

It's just that the students admitted from remote places have not enough money and no background.

It's not their turn to even go to some government offices and do some short histories of the eighth and ninth grades.

An Chuxia suddenly smiled, "I was too impatient."

How could Wang Libin not know the mind of the junior sister, the brothers and sisters of them have a good relationship, when Mo Ziluo and Chen Han approached, they even told Wan Wan to take good care of the junior sister.

If it was really because he was holding back his junior sister, how could he have the face to go back to see the other senior fellow apprentices.

The two brothers and sisters stopped discussing this topic.

Wang Libin also talked about the seeds that An Jinchen brought with him along the way, like a treasure.

Now that Wang Libin has come here to be the master bookkeeper, he will know the usefulness of these seeds sooner or later.

So she wrote to An Jinchen to bring the high-yielding corn seeds to the caravan. An Chuxia didn't expect her brother to send the seeds in person.

"Really so productive?
If each mu of land can really harvest so much grain, this is a major event that benefits the country and the people, and it must be a great achievement to report to the court at that time. "

"Whether it can be high-yielding, we will know when we are here next year, when it is planted."

It has not yet been planted in the north on a large scale. What An Chuxia can be sure of is that corn is definitely more productive than other grains. As for how high it is, she really can't guarantee it.

The two brothers and sisters chatted for a while, what happened to the teacher Gu Tongsheng's family, An Chuxia knew that everything was fine with them.

Seeing that it was getting late, they went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day Wang Libin went to report to the county government. What he was holding was a letter of appointment issued by the Ministry of Officials. No one knew that he was An Chuxia's senior brother.

The two of them didn't call each other senior brothers and sisters in the yamen, and Wang Libin would salute An Chuxia and address them as adults.

On the surface, An Chuxia would not take special care of Wang Libin, but under her control, there was much less intrigue in the yamen, at least on the surface.

It was smooth for Wang Libin to take over his own affairs, and An Chuxia also let him take over some of the tasks that the county magistrate had to do.

Wang Libin didn't refuse either, he knew that there was no county magistrate in the yamen, and if he didn't help with these matters, the younger sister would have to deal with them by herself.

On the one hand, he came here to earn a future for himself, and on the other hand, he really wanted to help his junior sister so that she, the county magistrate, could do better.

Entering the Layue yamen's office, the lobby was still very cold with the stove up. An Chuxia was wrapped in a thick fur coat, but her legs still felt stiff from the cold.

Wang Libin, who was in the same office lobby as her, brought a brazier from somewhere and put it under her desk to feel better.

An Chuxia raised her head and said to Wang Libin: "Master Wang, you also bring over the official business, and sit here to work!
The table is so big that it is not a hindrance to sit and work together. "

He also said to Ke Yi who had been promoted to be a master: "Come and sit here too!
Wait for a while, Zhu Bantou will bring people back on patrol. It's so cold, so go back early if you don't have anything to do. "

Ke Yi smiled kindly, moved the chair to the brazier to keep warm, took out a handful of dried fruits from the cloth bag he brought, and put them on the stove.

After a while, a burst of fragrance came over.

Koy took the roasted fruit with a big thumb and put it on the table, and said, "You two adults, eat it!"

An Chuxia picked up a dried fruit that had been burnt black and peeled it off, but inside was white nuts, and there was a faint fragrance of chestnuts in her mouth.

“It was delicious!”

Wang Libin also put down the brush in his hand, broke off one and started to eat.

Because of the cold weather in the north in winter, every family stays at home to keep warm. In fact, there are not many things in the yamen.

It's just that even if there are not many things to do, An Chuxia will still come to the Yamen every day, just like going to get off work in the previous life, you can't leave work early or not come because there are not many things today.

If she, the leader, doesn't come if she has nothing to do, then the other officials in the yamen will follow suit, and the county yamen, which originally performed their duties, will gradually become loose.

When there is really something to do, it will cause a situation where no one can be found.
