"Does Uncle think I'm such a person?" Mu Yangling smiled and said, "You got it by your own ability. You were mine before, and even if Sinong Temple wanted to dig a wall, it didn't dare to do it. This time I let go , It's a matter of course for you to get an official position, but it's impossible for them to recruit you with low-level subordinates. With your achievements, it is not difficult to confer a fifth or sixth rank official."

Liu Ting opened his mouth wide, and his palms were sweating from nervousness. He never thought that he would be an official one day.

Liu Ting went home dizzy.

Brothers Liu Daqian and Liu Erqian were lying on the deck chairs in the yard basking in the sun, and a few great-grandchildren were playing with building blocks at their feet. Seeing Liu Ting's dazed face, Liu Daqian frowned and asked, "What are you doing?" What's wrong?"

Mrs. Zhao stepped forward to support her husband, and asked with concern, "Did something happen to the farm?"

Liu Ting grabbed his wife's hand and murmured, "Ah Ling said I can be an official!"

Mrs. Zhao was taken aback. The first feeling was that Mu Yangling was going to seek an official position for her family by using power for personal gain. Liu Daqian and his brothers were also taken aback.

Seeing that his father's expression had changed, Liu Ting immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly told what Ah Ling said.

Liu Daqian's complexion gradually improved. Mrs. Zhao looked around and asked hesitantly, "Here, you can become an official without imperial examinations and wars?"

Liu Daqian lived for a long time, so he knew more after all. He heard the words: "In the past, there was a promotion of filial piety. Although it is gone now, it should be possible to elect to be an official. Ating has no other skills, and Knowing how to farm, although I don't know why farming is so good that I can become an official, but since Ah Ling said yes, then she can. She is not a person who uses power for personal gain."

Both Liu Daqian and Liu Erqian were a little excited, "My Liu family can also produce an official!"

The life of the Liu family is not difficult now, they can be considered rich, not to mention the money Liu Ting makes, but Liu Lang's farming and livestock business is very rich.

So all the great-grandchildren were sent to the academy to study, but it was of no use. So far, the Liu family has not found a single seed that can study.

And the children and grandchildren serving in the army are at most a small flag, not an official, and they don't want their children and grandchildren to go to the battlefield to fight their lives, so Liu Daqian and Liu Erqian's plan for their children and grandchildren is to read some words, Know how to settle accounts, and work hard to make a fortune by farming.

But now the two of them immediately changed their plans, recognized full characters, could settle accounts, were proficient in farming, and became rich and became officials.

Liu Daqian happily took Liu Ting's hand, "This matter has not been settled yet, so we can't talk about it outside, but our family wants to celebrate well. At Ting's family, go and buy some good wine and food."

Liu Daqian dragged Liu Ting into the ancestral hall to offer incense, respecting his ancestors.

Liu Erqian sat on the threshold smoking a cigarette, and murmured: "Brother, we can be regarded as honorable ancestors..."

In the room, Liu Daqian was training his son, "For a family like us, being an official has accumulated blessings for ten lifetimes. You must be cautious in your words and deeds, don't waste all your blessings, and accumulate virtue for future generations." .”

Liu Ting knew that his father had always been rigorous and self-disciplined, and never did anything wrong. At this time, he made this request because he was afraid that future generations would take advantage of the situation to misbehave. He was so excited that he almost lost his composure in an instant, but his temperament did not change, so he naturally responded at this time.

Liu Daqian said again: "Also, when you become an official, you must do your best. Don't be mediocre and embarrass the Liu family and A Ling. Although A Ling said that you deserve this official, if you don't have her recommendation and cooperation Her relationship is that even if you are ten times more capable, you may not be able to succeed. Look at the fields, how many people know how to farm? I have never heard of anyone who can become an official just because they know how to farm, so we have to read She's good, if you don't handle the errands well, the high officials in the court will probably talk about Ah Ling in private."

"Father, these sons know it all," Liu Ting knelt on the ground and saw his father's body crumbling, he quickly got up to support him, and said, "Don't worry, if your son is capable, he will be an official. If he is not, he will resign. Absolutely." Don't embarrass Ah Ling."

When Liu Daqian heard about it, he hesitated for a moment before slowly nodding.

That night, brothers Liu Daqian and Liu Erqian drank two glasses of wine and fell asleep snoring. Liu Erqian said vaguely: "Old brother, you can live a few more years, not for anything else, just for Ah Ting can be a good official, I heard that when his parents die, all officials will resign and go home to observe their filial piety."

Liu Daqian gave a jolt, opened his eyes and glanced at his younger brother, then slowly covered the quilt, responded softly, and then fell asleep.

After that, Liu Daqian paid more attention to maintaining his body. He took the medicine that he thought was a waste of money before, and now he took the initiative to drink it.

Mu Yangling inspected the farm for two days, and ended the inspection after making some adjustments. She did not return to the city immediately, but rode around here with Qi Haoran on horseback.

The Fifth Battalion still stands there, but it is no longer a camp for training soldiers, but a meat processing workshop for disabled soldiers and veterans. All the jerky rabbit meat that Tiger Head and the others like to eat is produced here.

Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling did not enter the camp, but rode their horses and looked at the camp from a distance. Qi Haoran smiled and said, "The camp with such a tight defense should be used as a workshop by Zijin, it's really reckless."

"This is not a border anymore, and there is no pass. Soldiers staying here will not be of much use. You also said that this camp is well-defended. Wouldn't it be a pity if it was abandoned? I think Zijin is a reasonable use of resources."

"If he hears this, he will definitely say, 'This is helping you to arrange disabled soldiers and veterans. If you don't want to say it, I will move the workshop away'," Qi Haoran followed Fan Zijin's sideways glance, and looked at Mu Yang with contempt Ling glanced.

Mu Yangling laughed loudly and said, "You can learn from him when you get back."

Mu Yangling smelled the fragrance wafting from the air, swallowed, and said: "When we go back, we will go to the workshop to ask for a few cans of jerky. I haven't eaten the jerky from our workshop for a long time."

Qi Haoran drooled and said, "I want to eat the food cooked by my mother-in-law, Ah Ling, how about we go into the mountains to hunt a deer and drag it back to cook for my mother-in-law?"

Thinking of his mother's craftsmanship, Mu Yangling drooled, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go into the mountains now and go home in the afternoon."

The husband and wife went into the mountain with bows and arrows on their backs, but as an injured, Qi Haoran could only follow behind and could not do it himself. gone."

Mu Yangling was unmoved, "But you still have to be careful, you'd better not make big moves in the past two months, you almost hurt your heart."

Qi Haoran could only follow behind with his mouth pouted, until they dragged their prey back to the General's Mansion and saw Shu Shi's face softened.

Shu Wanniang looked at the prey thrown in the front yard by the guards, and couldn't help turning her head, "Ah Ling, are you hunting in the mountains again?"

Mu Yangling smiled and said, "Mom, Haoran and I want to eat your cooking."

Shu Wanniang scolded: "Then you don't have to go to the mountains to hunt in person, just go to the market to buy."
