Eldest daughter

Chapter 370

Wang Er walked out of Wang Yuan's house with a smile on his face, his footsteps were light and light, as if stepping on clouds, and he looked up at the sky. It was so blue that day, an unprecedented blue like washing water, which made people feel better for no reason.

He giggled silly, and suddenly pinched his thigh hard again, it hurt, so it wasn't a dream, everything was real.

He, Wang Er, is going to be an official!

Haha, hahahaha!
Wang Er laughed out loud, the corners of his mouth almost went to the ears.

"Oh, Second Master Wang, you are smiling so happily, but have you picked up gold?" Someone passed by him, seeing him smiling happily, they couldn't help asking curiously.

Wang Er coughed, put his hands behind his back, and said: "As the saying goes, smile, ten years old, how can you pick up gold."

He finally got what he wanted, and he was happier than picking up gold!

Xing returned home in a hurry, and Old Man Wang and others were waiting in the main room, anxious.

"I'm back, I'm back." Mrs. Zhang shouted happily while standing at the door of the main house, holding her big belly.

Old man Wang immediately sat up straight, no matter what, it is always good for the second child to get an errand.

Mrs. Zhang went up to Wang Er and asked anxiously, "How is it? You can see Mr. Cui? Is there any good news?"

Wang Er smiled.

Seeing his smile, Mrs. Zhang's heart jumped wildly, grabbed his arm, and asked: "Master Cui really found an errand for you? What kind of official, what rank of official?"

"What are you doing with your man, why don't you pour him a bowl of water?" Mrs. Wang was very displeased when she saw her anxious look, and lightly scolded her.

"Oh, mother, let's hear what Erlang has to say first!" Mrs. Zhang coaxed anxiously.

Mrs. Wang lowered her face.

Seeing her, Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to quickly walk to the table and pour a bowl of tea, her ears were already pricked up.

"Master Cui has already sent a message to his son. He is the magistrate of Ji County, not far away. It is just on the edge of Tongzhou, eight hours away from Changle Town." Wang Er said to Old Man Wang with a smile: "Now Just wait for the paperwork to come down, and then you can take office, which will probably be in February, so my son will have to catch up with the official uniform and shoes."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang shook her hand and spilled tea all over the table. She put down the tea bowl and walked to Wang Er's side. She opened her eyes and asked, "Really, are you really a county magistrate?"

Wang Er puffed up his chest and squinted at her: "Is this still fake? There will definitely be a document in a few days."

Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed, crossed her hands, and said happily: "So, I am also an official wife?"

She walked back and forth excitedly, Mrs. Wang looked at it, and clicked her tongue, she really couldn't get on the stage.

However, the son is going to be an official, of course it is something to be happy about, so he didn't mention her, just put his hands together: "Amitabha, the Bodhisattva blesses, the ancestors bless, I have to hurry up and burn incense sticks to the Buddha and the ancestors." Saying, Just get off the kang shoes.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Old man Wang said "Hello" three times in succession, his eyes were brighter than ever before, and he said: "It's something to be happy about, the old lady will offer two more sticks of incense."
Old man Wang thought of a question, and asked urgently: "Second brother, have you never passed the imperial examination, and you are still a county magistrate? Did Mr. Cui say that you didn't notice anything?"

"Father, the county magistrate is not a high-ranking official. Most of them are insignificant people. Some merchants even spend a lot of money to donate this official. Besides, although my son did not pass the imperial examination, how much did he take? Nian private school!" Wang Er was rather proud.

Mrs. Zhang also helped out: "That's right, Dad, that man Yingzi was born as a slave, so he's not the same as a county magistrate like this. Our Erlang, at least came from a farming and studying family, and has read books, of course. Do it too."

Isn't that the reason why someone is good at being an official?It doesn't matter whether he takes the imperial examination or donates an official to buy an official!

Mrs. Zhang crossed her hands, and she was already trying to make up for herself the majesty of being an official's wife. Everyone fawned on her, tsk tsk, that's so majestic!

The more Mrs. Zhang thought about it, the more excited she became, and the more she smiled. She wished she could tell the news, so that people would be envious and complimented. 
Old man Wang nodded and said: "Although that is the case, you should not be careless. I think it is necessary to invite Mr. Cui to come and ask him carefully about the affairs of the officialdom. You must pay attention to what you need to pay attention to, and you can't keep up with the previous ones. That's what other people do."

Wang Er's heart trembled, he straightened his waist, and said: "Father, I will definitely ask your lord for advice."

The old man Wang hummed: "It is Master Cui who supports you, you can't discredit him, and your niece, after all, neither of them are married yet, but they have come to arrange errands for you at the risk of attracting people's attention. I'm afraid that those censors will use this to make an argument. I heard that they will impeach at every turn. Second child, we must know how to be grateful, and we can't cross the bridge. Your words and deeds represent adults. face, be careful."

"Father, don't worry, the son knows the importance, and everything should be kept low-key." Wang Er said hurriedly.

"That's good. I think the more low-key you are, the better. No one will talk about what you did in the past. When you gain a firm foothold and do good things for the common people, don't you worry about no one praising you?" said the old man.

When Mrs. Zhang heard that she was depressed, she was happy, but her father-in-law was so disappointed, really!
But she dared not speak out, especially at this time, so she only complained in her heart.
"Old lady, second daughter-in-law, I'm happy today. Cook a few more good dishes tonight, prepare some wine, and invite Master Cui and Yuan'er to eat." Old man Wang told Mrs. Wang who came out of the small Buddhist hall.
Mrs. Zhang was very happy in her heart, and this time she was not stingy, and responded crisply.

She went out to Zhang Luo, even her footsteps were floating, almost like stepping on clouds.

In the main room, old man Wang pulled Wang Erxu and talked about things that should be paid attention to.

And at Wang Yuaner's house, Cui Yuan also talked about this errand with Wang Yuaner.

"Is it really okay to have such an errand? Will someone impeach you for abusing your power?" Wang Yuaner asked.
"It's just a humble county magistrate who doesn't do anything. If he doesn't even have this bit of power, I might as well challenge the emperor." Cui Yuan was very confident.

Wang Yuan'er breathed a sigh of relief, and said worriedly: "If it's difficult, you don't have to answer it. At most, I'll give my second uncle a hand when I do business in the future."
"No problem, this matter has already been decided, and he will be able to take office after a few days of paperwork. Ji County has improved a lot in recent years, and it is a fertile county, especially the business of medicinal materials is doing well. With the momentum of Daxian, your second uncle should be able to get away with it as long as you act cautiously." Cui Yuan said.

Wang Yuan'er frowned, and said: "To be honest, my second uncle hasn't made any great achievements in all these years. I'm really afraid that he will screw up. If things like last time happen again, I..."

Wang Yuan'er couldn't help sighing when he thought of the time when Wang Er went to prison.

"I'm afraid that something is wrong with Second Uncle and it will hurt you!" Wang Yuan'er looked at him, really worried.

"Girls are extroverted, so they are attracted to me before they get married?" Cui Yuan giggled.

Wang Yuan'er gave him a sharp look: "Speaking seriously, why do you always go wrong!"

Cui Yuan clenched his hands into fists, pressed against his lips and coughed lightly, the corner of his mouth curled up and said: "Don't worry, if I don't even have the ability to protect myself, then I don't think I should mess around in this officialdom."

He said it lightly, but Wang Yuan'er was even more worried, saying that walking in the officialdom was like walking on thin ice, especially since he was a person close to the emperor, there was something wrong, maybe it would be more difficult?
The confidant of the Son of Heaven blocked the eyes of many people and blocked the way of many people. If he didn't say anything, she would think about the difficulties and dangers involved.

It is precisely because of this that his words and deeds will be restrained by others. Once something is wrong, it will naturally involve him.

"Are you still worried?" Cui Yuan saw that her brows couldn't melt, so he couldn't help but shook her hand, and said, "Since I can arrange this job, I will naturally be able to handle it, even if it doesn't matter if I get involved, then I will quit the officialdom. Being a pastoral man will always make a living!"

Wang Yuan'er burst into a smile: "You are still a farmer, you are so old, you can't even tell the difference between brown rice and wheat!"

"Then you should underestimate me. I have picked beans and know how to harvest peanuts. I can also plant sweet potatoes." Cui Yuan raised his neck triumphantly.

"Really? I don't believe you, you are used to talking big!" Wang Yuan'er laughed angrily.
"Of course it's true. Besides, even if I don't understand, don't you still have you? I think even if I can't survive in the officialdom, you can always support me, right? I can also eat soft rice. "Cui Yuan acted like a little daughter-in-law.

Seeing this, Wang Yuan'er couldn't help laughing: "Success, then you can take care of the cub at home!"

Cui Yuan was stunned for a moment, thinking of that scene, both of them burst out laughing.

"Since we want to be gardeners, we don't have enough land right now, so we have to buy more. Let's be big landlords." Wang Yuan'er made a serious proposal.

Cui Yuan laughed out loud: "Silly girl, I also have a low birthrate." As he spoke, he whispered a few words into Wang Yuan'er's ear.

Wang Yuaner stared wide-eyed: "Really?"

Seeing him nodding, she said: "So, you are hiding something."

"So, don't worry?" Cui Yuan flicked her forehead.

Wang Yuan'er laughed, so what can I do if I don't feel at ease, it's useless to worry now, I just hope that my second uncle will not make a mess, otherwise, if he doesn't talk about his own problems, he will hurt others.

Who told him that this official position was placed by Cui Yuan? In the eyes of others, he is Cui Yuan's person.
The two were talking, when Sujuan came in to report, saying that the young master Fuduo of the old house had invited them to the old house for dinner at the old man's words.

"I'm afraid I'm going to treat you to a drink again!" Wang Yuan'er said with a smile: "It's just right, take this opportunity to give your second uncle a few words, don't get carried away, so you won't be tired."

Cui Yuan responded, not because he was afraid that Wang Er would hurt him, but because he didn't want Wang Yuan'er to worry about it, and some troubles, although he was not afraid, but it could be avoided, and it would save trouble.
