Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 232 The Appointment Has Been Made

I heard from Ba Ye that the elder brother's appointment will come soon.According to the meaning of the emperor, most of them will meet foreign parties.

You must know that the assessment of officials in the Qing Dynasty is a three-year system.With this release, at least for three years, she would not have to think about going home, and it would be even less likely to come to the capital to see her.

However, I heard from Ba Ye that it will be easier to be promoted in the future only when Wai Fang becomes a magistrate.She was still happy for her elder brother.

"Why are you in a daze again?"

As soon as Ba Ye entered the room, he saw Mao Tongtong sitting by the window, his eyes were confused and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Master is back." Mao Tongtong smiled.

"Your elder brother's appointment has been made." Ba Ye said.

"Where are you going?" Mao Tongtong asked.Unexpectedly, what she had just thought in her heart came to fruition immediately.

"Shandong!" Ba Ye said: "This year Shandong's officialdom has undergone a major shake-up, and Huang Ama is determined to rectify it. This time Shandong has dealt with so many officials, and there are many vacancies. Your elder brother has been sent to Zibo as the county magistrate."

"Zibo?" Mao Tongtong was stunned for a moment, and said: "I also said that it is a good thing to let go outside. Is it a good place for the servant brother now?"

"It's okay." Ba Ye nodded, and said: "Huang Ama obviously wants to train your elder brother. The former county magistrate was involved in the embezzlement of money and food for the disaster relief. Your elder brother will go now. As long as he can perform his duties within three years, he will be promoted. Opportunity."

"When it's settled down, the servants can feel at ease." Mao Tongtong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your elder brother is a smart man, he should grasp the opportunity well. You don't have to worry about it." Ba Ye said.

"Then, will the elder slave servant go directly to the post after receiving the appointment? Or can he go home?" Mao Tongtong asked.

"Of course you can go home first." Ba Ye said: "As long as you take office within the stipulated time."

"The servant girl, can I let my elder brother go home with something?" Mao Tongtong asked again.

Ever since the eighth master allowed her to meet Mao Mingxuan, she had thought about it.These days, I rushed to make two underwear and socks for Chen Shi and Mao Chengyun, as well as a few purses.Now that she can't accept Huan Huan's knees, she can only use these to express her heart, which is considered to be filial to them.

"Yeah." Ba Ye nodded, "When you're ready, I'll let Chen Guo go for a walk."

At this time, Mao Mingxuan's appointment had already been announced, so it would not be a good idea to go to his house again.

"Thank you, Lord!" Mao Tongtong said happily.

The news about Ba Ye was one step earlier, so Mao Mingxuan received the appointment notice on the second day.

This day, Uncle Chen kept taking baths and didn't come back from the yamen. Su couldn't read a few words. Seeing that Mao Mingxuan had accepted the appointment, he asked, "What official position has the emperor arranged for you?"

"The county magistrate of Zibo." Mao Mingxuan said.

"County magistrate?" Su frowned, and said, "How high is the county magistrate?"

"Seventh Grade." Mao Mingxuan smiled and said, "Isn't there a saying that there is a Seventh Grade Sesame Official, that is, the county magistrate."

"Only the seventh grade!" Su's face was not very good-looking, and said: "If I knew this, I should let your uncle do some activities, maybe he can stay in the capital."

"It's good to be a county magistrate." Mao Mingxuan said with a smile: "Managing the people of one side can do some practical things."

"Congratulations, cousin." Although Chen Ruzhu didn't know if the county magistrate was good, he also knew that the rank of the seventh-rank official was not high.

But in her heart, even if Mao Mingxuan is a seventh-rank official now, he can be promoted in the future.Therefore, she was really happy for Mao Mingxuan.After all, Mao Mingxuan achieved all of this entirely by his own ability, which is quite remarkable.

"Today, I'll ask the kitchen to add more vegetables for Mingxuan's celebration." Su forced a smile.

"Thank you, auntie." Mao Mingxuan smiled, he didn't see a trace of disdain flashing in Su's eyes.

When Uncle Chen came back in the evening and heard that Mao Mingxuan had been appointed as the magistrate of Zibo County, he was immediately happy to serve good wine in the kitchen.

"Mingxuan, this is your chance!" Uncle Chen said: "You should also know what happened in Shandong officialdom before. Long live Lord was furious and dealt with many officials, which is why there are so many vacancies. Now you Being able to take office there shows that Lord Long Live still values ​​you and wants to give you a chance to practice!"

"Yes, I know." Mao Mingxuan nodded.He was also happy.Long live God is willing to give him the opportunity to practice, this is a good start!In the past three years, he has to work hard to make some achievements so that Lord Long Live can see his ability.

"I also thought that Lord Long Live would let you go somewhere, but I didn't expect to go to Shandong." Uncle Chen said, looking at Mao Mingxuan enviously, and said: "Your fortune is good, and your future is limitless ah!"

"Look at what uncle said, I have just stepped into the officialdom, so I can't say for sure what will happen in the future." Mao Mingxuan smiled embarrassedly.

"This person, sometimes it really depends on luck." Uncle Chen suddenly said with emotion: "I was born in the imperial examination like you back then, and my ranking was not too bad. I ranked in the top [-] in the second class. Then I figured out a way It was only because of Yinzi that I managed to find a way out. It’s a pity that the place I went to is remote, and it’s hard to get results. Later, it took a lot of effort to get back to the capital. It’s just difficult to climb up.”

"Uncle, why bother to say something depressing, you are not yet forty this year, you still have a chance." Mao Mingxuan comforted.

Uncle Chen waved his hands with a smile, and said, "Mingxuan, you don't need to comfort me. I know more about the officialdom than you! In this life, I will be a fourth-rank official until the end."

Mao Mingxuan also knew that Uncle Chen knew better than him, so he didn't try to persuade him anymore, but said: "Uncle, I would like to toast you, thank you for taking care of Mingxuan and reminding you for the past six months! Mingxuan will always remember it in his heart!"

"Okay, let's drink! I'm happy today, let's not mention those spoilers!" Uncle Chen raised his glass with a smile.

Su Shi frowned when she heard it, she thought to herself, she is only a seventh-rank county magistrate, why are you so happy?She feels a little regretful now.At that time, she only heard Uncle Chen talk about Mao Mingxuan's number one scholar, so she wrote a letter to her eldest sister impulsively to say goodbye.If the other side agrees, wouldn't Ruzhu have to marry a seventh-rank county magistrate?I'm afraid I have to follow him to the post!

How difficult it was for Chen Junjie to climb back to the capital from a small county magistrate!If it weren't for the fact that her family still has some connections and is willing to send money, Chen Junjie might not be able to come back now!
She didn't understand the difference between the county magistrate Mao Mingxuan and Chen Junjie back then!Just thinking that her daughter might go the same way as she did back then, I feel a hundred regrets in my heart!

If she had known this earlier, she should have waited!It's not too late to wait until Mao Mingxuan's appointment to make a decision!
What she regrets even more now is that she didn't persevere before. The marriage with the son of the servant of the Ministry of Industry has fallen through, and she heard that the marriage has already been engaged, and it is too late to regret it now.

Chen Ruzhu didn't know that Su's heart was beginning to waver now.Seeing that her Ama's mouth was full of praise for Mao Mingxuan, she admired Mao Mingxuan even more in her heart.
