After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 742: Xue Dongjia is appointed as an official [3]

Xue Dongjia felt that General Liang's eyes were evasive for a moment... something was wrong, and he wanted to ask in detail.

But Liang Jiajun didn't give him a chance and said, "By the way, remember to help the Qin family build the medicinal materials workshop. This is an industry that can save everyone's lives!"

If a war breaks out, having more herbal medicine shops opened by close relatives would be of great benefit.

At least the brothers don’t have to go to the powerful families to argue and ask for medicinal herbs to treat their injuries after leaving the battlefield.

"Yeah." Xue Dongjia agreed, didn't ask any more questions sensibly, and left.

General Liang breathed a sigh of relief and felt that His Majesty was right.

After all, it is not easy to confer a title on a girl, and Jiang Dalang is too young and has never led troops to fight in a frontal battlefield, so he really cannot bear a high title.

The title of Qianhu is given to a military officer who has led thousands of soldiers and fought in frontal battles, knows how to coordinate the front and rear, and wins beautifully with combat casualties less than 10%.

Jiang Dalang had never achieved such a feat on the front battlefield.

So, Your Majesty, you are right, although a little stingy, but rigorous!
……

After leaving the Liang army camp, Xue Dongjia immediately returned to the city and rushed to the capital government office. In the afternoon, he finally arrived at the capital government office and met Prefect Fei.

When Governor Fei learned that he had just come back from meeting General Liang, the slight dissatisfaction in his heart was swept away, and he smiled and said, "I think Lord Liang has already told Mr. Xue the good news."

Xue Dongjia bowed and said, "In reply to your words, Lord Liang did tell me a piece of good news, which is to welcome the imperial decree of His Majesty to confer an official title."

Then he asked, "Your Excellency summoned me for this matter?"

Governor Fei smiled and said, "That's exactly why."

Xue Dongjia was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down, bowing his hands towards the sky above his head: "I thank your majesty for your great grace."

He looked embarrassed again and said, "Master Liang only asked me to go home and prepare to receive the imperial edict, but I am a merchant and I really don't know how to receive the imperial edict. Please help me, sir."

Prefect Fei sighed inwardly... This Xue Zhui is really shrewd. He brought people to the top with just one request. No wonder Xue Zhui was able to fight his way to an official position.

"Brother Xue, please get up quickly. Helping to welcome the imperial edict is part of the government's job. We have already prepared the manpower for you." Prefect Fei stood up personally and helped Xue up.

Although the official title conferred by Emperor Wuxing himself was not of the same rank as his, in front of His Majesty and the Duke of Yan, Xue Zhui's name certainly carried more weight than his.

"As for the female relatives, my wife will go to the Xue family to teach them personally."

In fact, it would be enough to send a nanny to teach. Letting the prefect's wife personally teach a merchant's wife was definitely a gesture of goodwill from the Fei family.

The grace continues.

Prefect Fei took out a letter of recommendation and said, "I heard that your son has been studying hard since he was young. This is a letter of recommendation from the Dongzhou Prefecture School. With this letter of recommendation, your son can go to Dongzhou Prefecture School to study."

Dongzhou Prefecture is the capital of Northeastern Prefecture. Whether in terms of economy, population, literary style, military strength, or heritage, it is the best among all prefectures in Northeastern Prefecture.

In the autumn examination, candidates from the northeastern states must take the exam in the capital.

As for the Dongzhou Prefecture School, apart from the children of officials who could enter through imperial favor, only scholars were accepted, and students were not eligible to enter.

Xue Mingyi, the beloved eldest son of Xue Dongjia, is not even a student now, so he cannot enter the school according to the rules.

But this favor is shown too late.

After all, Xue Dongjia is going to be officially appointed as an official, and then Xue Mingyi will be able to study in the provincial school with the help of his favor.

However, Magistrate Fei was a professional official, and he added: "If your son is not useful, Master Xue can give the recommendation letter to someone who can be cultivated. This recommendation letter will always be valid." Master Xue was overwhelmed with surprise, took the recommendation letter with both hands, bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, sir, this favor will be remembered in the Xue family's heart."

When Magistrate Fei saw that Master Xue was truly grateful, he was also happy, thinking that his recommendation was not in vain. He smiled and said, "Brother Xue, follow Master Fei to lead the people. If you encounter any problems during this period, you can come to me."

This statement not only gave Xue Dongjia face, but also gave him power. It was clearly saying that you don't have to endure it. If you meet someone who is blind, just fight back.

If the other party is not convinced or is too stubborn, you can come to me.

After Mr. Xue thanked him again, he followed Master Fei to lead the people back to the Xue family with two clerks in the reception room and six servants.

After arranging things for Master Fei and the others, Mr. Xue immediately went to find Mrs. Xue and told her about the official appointment.

Mrs. Xue, a calm person, was so shocked that she stood up and looked at Mr. Xue intently.

Xue Dongjia smiled, pressed her shoulders, and asked her to sit down before saying, "Don't panic, my wife. This is an official appointment by His Majesty. No one dares to make trouble. My wife just needs to wait for the order."

Then he shamelessly asked, "Wife, is your husband very successful? He has been given an official title, and you have become an official's wife."

Mrs. Xue was originally very nervous. Seeing his playful smile approaching her, she said unhappily, "Be serious. You are about to become an official, but you are still like this. What if..."

Mrs. Xue didn't know what she was thinking about. Her face turned pale. She grabbed Xue Dongjia's arm and said, "Husband, can you not take this position? Or you can resign... You are not suitable for being an official."

Xue Dongjia felt as if his heart was pierced by his wife's words.

"Wife, what do you mean I'm not suitable to be an official? At least I have a better conscience than most officials."

"What nonsense are you talking about." Mrs. Xue covered his mouth and looked towards the window and the door. After seeing that they were all her confidants, she felt relieved and wanted to let go of her hand, but Mrs. Xue took the opportunity to hold her hand.

Xue Dongjia's eyes were full of laughter, and he said incoherently: "Wife, cover it again."

Mrs. Xue only felt numbness in her palms and her face turned red. She quickly used her other hand to pinch the back of Mr. Xue's hand.

Xue Dongjia didn't feel that much pain, but he pretended to be in pain and let go of his hand, rubbing the back of his pinched hand and said, "Wife, I just earned an official position for the family. Not only did you not reward me, but you also hit me so hard. Do you want to murder your husband?"

Madam Xue really wanted to sew his mouth shut. She said angrily, "Be serious and stop being a scoundrel."

"Okay, I'll listen to my wife." Xue Dongjia was obedient and sat upright. He looked at Madam Xue. After she was about to get angry, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Jing Niang. I can take this position and I will definitely keep it secure and will never bring trouble to the family."

"And this is what Jingniang has always wanted. I will definitely not let you down."

After the death of her eldest brother-in-law, his wife placed all the burden of taking the imperial examination on her son Mingyi.

As a good father, Xue Dongjia thought: "I have to reduce the pressure on our Mingyi, and I am more capable than Mingyi, so it is better to rely on me than Mingyi."

Mrs. Xue was feeling relieved to see that he was serious now, but then she heard him change the subject and start showing off again, which made her feel choked.

However, it seems that her son has become more bookish because of her.

Madam Xue said, "My husband, you may be right. We should let Mingyi spend more time with Young Master Huang..."

Thinking of Huang Yanglong's behavior, Mrs. Xue really couldn't bring herself to let her son spend more time with Huang Yanglong.

"Master, Madam, the doorman reported that the prefect's wife is here in person, and said she's here to visit you!" Nanny Meng came to report, her tone full of excitement.

The wife of the prefect came to visit in person. Not to mention the Northeast Province, even in the entire Wei Dynasty, which merchant family's wife had such an honor? !
