The reborn king is ferocious

Chapter 18 The Way of Being an Official
Jian Yu knew that Xu You'er's people beat Luo Qingchen with a whip, presumably this incident made her angry, so even he didn't like to see the troubled ones.

Jian Yu thought she had found the reason for Luo Qingchen's indifference to him again, and suddenly said in her heart: "Miss Qingchen, are you going to the capital? I don't know where you will stay after you arrive in the capital? I will ask you to be good at it later. The doctor who treats the whiplash will come to your house and treat you, so that there will be no scars."

"Thank you, no need." Luo Qingchen felt that no matter how she looked at Jian Yu, she felt bored, her voice was very loud, and after finishing speaking coldly, she took Zhang's hand and said, "Mother, I'm tired, let's get in the car go."

Mrs. Zhang was puzzled, and Qingchen winked secretly. She knew that Luo Qingchen just didn't want to see Jian Yu, so she politely said: "Young General, we don't have a place to stay yet, let's talk about it when we have a chance to meet." Qingchen half-supported and half-dragged onto the carriage.

"Third General, this—" the deputy general handed over the box in his hand, Jian Yu quickly took it over, and wanted to pass it into the carriage, but heard Luo Qingchen say to Shen Lu from inside: "Eldest brother, I'm a little uncomfortable." Comfortable, please tell everyone not to disturb us."

These words clearly meant that she didn't want to talk to Jian Yu anymore.

Shen Jian saw a blush of embarrassment on Jian Yu's fair face holding the gift box, and he felt a little embarrassed and reached out to take it: "Usually this child is very talkative, but today I was really frightened. It doesn't matter, I am her master, and I will take her place first." Accept it, and give it to her tomorrow when she is in a better mood."

Jian Yu handed the gift box to Shen Jian as if relieved, and asked: "It turns out that Miss Qingchen is the disciple of the escort, so I can rest assured. Please take care of the escort along the way. I still have things to rush back, so let's go .”

Why did he ask Shen Jian to take care of Luo Qingchen's mother and son?Luo Qingchen leaned on the cushion in the carriage, closed her eyes and fell asleep, but her ears were listening to the movement outside, she couldn't help but secretly ridiculed Jian Yu's self-indulgence.

Jian Yu finally left with his men, Luo Qingchen suddenly felt that the sky became much clearer.

Along the way, wherever the Wuwei Escort went, people had pre-booked inns in advance, who made the reservations?No one told Shen Jian and them, Luo Qingchen knew in his heart that this must be what Jian Yu did.

Will Xu You'er know her mistake and send someone to apologize to Luo Qingchen?It was the first time that Luo Qingchen saw through her unreasonable and unreasonable appearance of a young lady. That was Xu Youer's true face. Fortunately, she could bear to pretend to be innocent for ten years, so there was only one person around Luo Qingchen. It's not easy for everyone to be a master of disguise.

It must be that Xu Hongwen taught Xu Youer a lesson, and Jian Yu came to make amends for Xu Youer, with the purpose of not giving Xu Hongwen a bad reputation of indulging his daughter's mischief.

This matter was really guessed by Luo Qingchen.

Xu You'er couldn't help being afraid when she saw her father act seriously.

What she was afraid of was nothing else, no matter what she did in Xu's residence, Mrs. Xu would cover it up seamlessly for her. This was the most important reason why Xu Hongwen never knew what was wrong with her daughter.

In Xu Hongwen's eyes, Xu You'er is an incomparably precious jewel in his palm who is full of nobility and vigor.

Before leaving, Mrs. Xu also urged Xu You'er to restrain herself outside and not to mess around with her temper, but she wanted to see Jian Yu too urgently. On the way, she heard that Jian Yu was about to arrive in the small town. So before he had time to say hello to Xu Hongwen, he slipped to see Jian Yu, who knew that the news was wrong and missed.

She was already in a bad mood, but when she met Luo Qingchen at the gate of the city, a country girl like her dared to be awkward with her, Xu You'er immediately forgot all of Mrs. Xu's instructions, and made such a fuss.

Seeing that her father was really angry and there was no savior by her side, she was naturally afraid.

Fortunately, Jian Yu arrived at this time, and under his persuasion, Xu Hongwen also didn't want to punish his daughter to death, so he finally found a step, so he changed his plan to beat the army stick to kneeling.

Xu You'er knelt down in the middle of the night in the county government office where she was temporarily staying, and Jian Yu didn't sleep, and wanted to visit quietly.As soon as he showed his face, Xu You'er was so emotional when she saw him that she fainted.

Seeing this, Jian Yu rushed over and carried her back to the house.When Xu Hongwen heard that his daughter had fainted, he hurriedly called for a doctor. Naturally, the county magistrate didn't dare to sleep any more, and ran up and yelled, messing with the maids and servants who filled the yard, causing a commotion.

Finally, after the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, he said that Xu You'er was fine and the key was to rest well, so the county magistrate wiped off his cold sweat and left with Xu Hongwen.

"My lord, Ms. Xu is still young. Sometimes it is inevitable that she will be a little careless in doing things. Why is your lord so strict? I know that there are also those troublemakers at the gate of the city who are constantly running on Ms. Xu unintentionally. She said in a moment of anger." It’s just some fierce words, if the official is here, maybe the leader will be taken to jail on the spot, how can there be any reason for them to make trouble?”

The county magistrate nodded fawningly and bowed.

Xu Hongwen stopped in his tracks. Like most civil servants, he had a fair complexion, a three-inch beard under his chin like light ink, a square face, big eyes, and he looked like Shen Chengfu.

At this time, his eyes were filled with displeasure and he said: "If an official is like you, disregarding the feelings of the people and blindly covering up his own shortcomings, how can Tianqiong be strong? You'er was spoiled by me since she was a child, so it's fine at home, come out here You shouldn’t be taking her with you, since she has to obey the rules like everyone else if she wants to follow, this is already a light punishment.”

Seeing Xu Hongwen was furious, the county magistrate thought that people said that Xu Shangshu was honest and upright, and the rumors were true when he saw him today, and he disciplined his daughter so severely, it seems that he is not trying to gain fame.

So he respectfully said: "What Lord Shangshu said is that my Tianqiong officials are as fair and strict as Lord Shangshu. It is really a blessing for the world. No wonder the king thinks highly of him, and the next official vows to follow him as an example."

"That's very good. Your majesty will be pleased if you know that you, as parents, think of the common people in everything." Xu Hongwen showed approval on his face.

"Where, where, these are the words of Lord Shangshu, who have enlightened the officials, and I will ask you to give me more advice in the future." The county magistrate immediately expressed his attitude and flattered him.

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Xu Hongwen nodded.

Later, in the performance report submitted by the county magistrate, he specifically mentioned Xu Shangshu's incident of admonishing his daughter.

Although he is only a small county magistrate, once there are so many things about Xu Hongwen's meritorious deeds, how can the people above not hear the news?
Naturally, Xu Hongwen would not treat these obedient and effective people badly, and recruited them to cultivate under his sect one after another.

Luo Qingchen really knows Xu Hongwen's "knowledge of people and good job" so well. At the city gate, she made a big deal out of it. Xu Hongwen will definitely deal with Xu You'er strictly for the sake of his official position and reputation.

Therefore, instead of her doing it, Xu Hongwen was the one to take care of Xu You'er.

What she didn't know was that if someone hadn't secretly helped her block Xu You'er's foot, she probably wouldn't have retreated so easily.

Xu Youer watched Jian Yu and Xu Hongwen leave the room reluctantly, and while her father was not paying attention, she whispered to Jian Yu that she wanted him to stay with her.

Of course, it is impossible for Jian Yu to stay in such a blatant manner. Although they grew up together since childhood, the two families are also happy to have children. After all, Xu Youer is 12 years old. It's okay in the mansion, but when you come out, you have to pay attention to some taboos.

Jian Yu smiled slightly, followed Xu Hongwen out, and then said goodbye to her own residence.

After closing the door and turning off the lights, Jian Yu returned to Xu Youer's room after a while.

Xu You'er was rolling around on the bed, and sat up in surprise when she heard the movement: "Brother Yu, you are here."

Seeing her energetic appearance, Jian Yu smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but your ability to fool people is getting better and better. This is more effective than what we say. Master Shang Shu doesn't care about anything, so I just I'm afraid that something will happen to you."

Xu You'er smiled triumphantly: "That's right, it's a great honor for me to be able to kneel for such a long time. Do you really want me to die?"

Jian Yu sat down on the edge of the bed: "However, what you did was indeed reckless, and it made it difficult for your father to do it."

"I know, doesn't he just want to gain a good reputation and let the whole world know that he is a good official so that he can climb to a higher position? But he is really willing to do something small, even if I give him a chance, It shouldn't be so vicious." Xu You'er didn't get angry when she thought that Xu Hongwen would beat her with a stick without mercy.

"I heard that Prime Minister Fang is old and intends to recommend your father as Prime Minister. Naturally, your father can't make any mistakes at this juncture. I don't know how many people are watching that position and watching your father's every move. Besides, your father dotes on you so much, if he gets promoted in the future, why don't you enjoy it?" Jian Yu told Xu You'er the rumor he had heard.

When Xu You'er heard Fang Xiang, she immediately angrily said: "My father only has official positions in his eyes, if he can trade me for it, I don't think he will hesitate."

Jian Yu felt that there was something in Xu Youer's words, and asked, "Who doesn't know that Master Shangshu likes you the most, why do you say that?"

Xu You'er is really not talking nonsense.

This time she insisted on coming out with Xu Hongwen, besides wanting to see Jian Yu, there was another important reason, which was to avoid the grandson of Fang Xiang's family.

Why did Fang Xiang want to nominate Xu Hongwen?

Not only because Xu Hongwen worshiped Fang Xiang as his teacher, but also showed special respect for his teacher before and after. In addition to meeting each other in the court and visiting every New Year's day, he also helped Fang Xiang do a lot of other things secretly. Inconvenient, but a problem that must be solved.

Therefore, the friendship between master and apprentice is quite deep.

But Fang Xiang is old and feels that he can no longer cope with all kinds of things in the court, but once he has nothing, he thinks that when he becomes an official, he will inevitably offend the powerful, and he has to rely on something if he wants to be safe in the future.

Therefore, it is rare for the Prime Minister's wife to go in and out of Xu's house very frequently these days, and the target is Xu You'er.
