After Lin Yanchao took the boat to Hongtangdu, he got off the boat and walked home.

It was getting late, the wind was blowing gently, and Lin Yanchao saw the outline of the riverside embankment, and knew that it was very close to home.

The prosperity of the provincial city passed by like a cloud of smoke, and when I returned to my small mountain village, I heard the sound of chickens and dogs, and saw the smoke of the people, but I had a sense of steadfastness in my heart.

Lin Yanchao walked to the entrance of the village but went to the embankment, and there was a pretty figure, standing against the river wind.

"Shallow!" Lin Yanchao couldn't help but be surprised.

The other party heard the call and looked at himself, and rushed down from the embankment, who else could it be.

Lin Qianqian lifted her skirt and ran down the embankment, and when she saw Lin Yanchao, she was angry and said: "You have no conscience, you have walked for so many days, and you don't send anyone to bring a message to your family, don't you know how much my grandfather and I worry about you?" ”

Seeing Lin Qianqian's tears falling in large pieces, Lin Yanchao hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, Qianqian, I was wrong." ”

How did he know that he apologized like this, but Lin Qianqian cried even more and said: "Uncle thought you were retained by Hu Tixue, but when I went to mention the Taoist Yamen and asked, you weren't there at all, where have you been these days?" ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Let me tell you, I have seen a lot of people in the past few days. The Yin bin official who lived in the county office, as well as the master of the county magistrate, and the curtain guests of Hu Tixue all spoke and drank tea. ”

Every man likes to brag in front of the woman he loves, and Lin Yanchao is no exception.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, I'll tell you when I go home, it's windy by the river!"

"Go back and tell me honestly, don't lie to me, you know?" Lin Qianqian said to Lin Yanchao seriously.

"Even if I have the courage, I don't dare to deceive you." Lin Yanchao smiled and coaxed Lin Qianqian.

"I went into the city this time, but I saved a lot of people?"

"Nonsense, I don't believe it!"

Lin Yanchao smiled, seeing that Lin Qianqian was already smiling, full of smiles, this ability to coax women, he is not high, fortunately, after many trainings from his previous girlfriend, it is still possible to deal with the little Lori who has never seen the world.

The two of them were about to arrive at home, and the village was full of people.

In order to avoid suspicion, Qianqian was reluctant to go with Lin Yanchao, but ran back to the house first.

"Chaoyi, the fourth uncle has heard about your lawsuit this time, and Mr. Xie has been beaten by you to lose his temper!"

"It's better to be a scholar, even the county lord has to give you face."

"It's up to you in our village in the future."

Seeing a bunch of uncles and aunts praising themselves, Lin Yanchao also responded: "Where, where, it's just luck." ”

"This posterity is so humble! Xie Zongjia, I don't dare to embarrass our village now! ”

"Come, take this egg, it's a little bit of the third aunt's heart!"

"This is yesterday's tobacco, go back and relieve your grandfather's addiction."

"Chaoyi, don't shirk, you are a capable person, you will be a talent in the future, don't forget your aunt."

Lin Yanchao couldn't push it off, so he took the things back home.

Pushing open the door, Lin Yanchao saw the eldest lady cooking in front of the stove, but when he saw Lin Yanchao, his face changed, but he didn't say anything and continued to take charge. The words of the villagers outside, the eldest mother must have heard them.

Grandpa was smoking a hookah, uncle, and the third uncle were very happy to see Lin Yanchao come back while sitting on the sidelines.

Uncle smiled and said: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, these days can make the shallow and anxious, three days to run to the embankment, see that there is not much to do, right?" ”

Lin Yanchao glanced at Lin Qianqian, and Lin Qianqian lowered his head shyly.

Grandpa put the hookah out and said, "Uncle said that you haven't been in the Dao for the past two days, where are you going?" ”

The third uncle immediately said with a lot of concern: "Chaoyi, I heard that the provincial city is prosperous, but it's fun, you are young and can't resist the temptation, but you didn't spend money indiscriminately." ”

Uncle said: "You don't know how powerful Chao Xi is this time, he is still a protégé of the provincial superintendent, even if he spends some money to entertain, it is nothing, do you say it." ”

Listening to what your family said to me, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but say: "You all ask me, I only have one mouth, and I can't answer everything." ”

Everyone laughed, and Lin Qianqian looked at Lin Yanchao, standing behind him like a little daughter-in-law.

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Grandpa, are you going to the shop tomorrow?" ”

"Well," Lin Gaozhu asked, putting the hookah down, "what's the matter?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Master Shen in the county yamen invited you to come to the yamen, and is going to discuss with you about being the ambassador of the Hebo Station?" ”

"Scared, what's going on?" The first person to react was not the grandfather, but the lady who was in charge of the spoon on the side.

Uncle also said: "The ambassador of the Hebo Institute, who specializes in fish tax, can be regarded as an official, how could Master Shen give this benefit to our family for no reason." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "I just helped Master Shen a favor, Master Shen just reciprocated the favor." ”

The uncle listened and said, "Is this true?" At your young age, what can you do to help Master Shen? ”

"It's true, but it's inconvenient to say. Grandpa will find out tomorrow. ”

"Okay, I'll go!" Lin Gao said.

Uncle hurriedly said: "Dad, the child has spoken, why do you believe it?" You haven't been to the shop for a few days, and everything is delayed, what should you do if you are held accountable? ”

Lin Gao said: "Although Chaoyu is a child, he is more stable than you. ”

Lin Qianqian said on the side: "I believe in Brother Chao." ”

At noon on the second day, Lin Gaozhu came back from the city, and Lin Yanchao saw that the wrinkles on his face were stretched, and he seemed to be ten years younger, and he was also wearing a brand-new official uniform. The official uniforms are all straight, and there are also practice magpie complements.

When the uncle arrived at the door, he said in disbelief: "Dad, is this true?" ”

Lin Gao said with a smile: "Yes, it's done, and the printing notes have been brought back." ”

The uncle saw clearly the copper strip in Lin Gao's hand representing the identity of the official family, and shouted: "My God, it's true!" ”

The family members all gathered around, and Lin Gao said with a smile: "Do you think my robe fits?" ”

"Fit, fit!" The uncle suddenly laughed, looking at Lin Gao's official uniform, his eyes showed envy, "Dad, can you borrow me to wear it for a few days?" ”

"Okay, don't pull it, rip Daddy's clothes." The eldest lady said on the side.

The third uncle also smiled from ear to ear: "After saying this, our family will at least have fresh fish and shrimp every day." ”

"It's not just fish and shrimp! Father, don't all the people on the water in the next ten miles want to listen to your orders? Uncle said on the side.

Lin Gao smiled and said, "Don't talk big, I still have to thank Chao Yu for opening up the joints for me." If it weren't for that, Master Shen wouldn't have made the decision for me. ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and didn't say anything.

Uncle couldn't help but come up and said: "Chaoyu, you are so powerful, you went to the county office, and you fell into such a good shortage for your grandfather, when will you help your uncle?" ”

The eldest lady on the side was also shocked, and said to the uncle on the side: "Yes, Xianggong, even if you serve Huang Bantou for a lifetime, at most you will be a servant, but the court has regulations that prostitutes are subordinate to each other, and three generations are not allowed to take the imperial examination." If you become a government officer, you won't be able to participate in the county exam if you prolong your life. ”

Uncle blushed and said: "Mother-in-law, where am I rare to be a soap, I think I am a scribe in the yamen, even if I am not a bureaucrat in the system, I can be a gentleman, I can enter the yamen as an errand is your uncle's hope for a lifetime, you can help me." ”

"Uncle thinks a lot, where do I have so much ability, this time it's just a coincidence."

Uncle said: "Don't be modest, you can know Master Shen, what a thick leg this is, he is Master Shaoxing, a case official for many years." The county lord's first confidant, you just need to say a word for your uncle, it is not so easy to enter the sixth room as an errand. ”

The eldest lady also said happily: "Xianggong, the fortune teller said that I was the life of an official's wife, if you enter the yamen, I will look at my father, my eldest brother, will they dare to look down on you in the future." ”

Although the officials are not officials, they are already very important in the eyes of the common people. Listening to the words of the eldest mother, Lin Yanchao and Lin Qianqian both wanted to vomit, the person who looked down on the uncle the most in the family was the eldest mother.

"Mother-in-law, what are you doing here, hurry up and cook a few good dishes, think about how you used to treat others, you should compensate Chaoyu first."

Lin Yanchao said: "Uncle, aunt, I don't dare to do this, the past is over." ”

The eldest lady smiled and said: "You dead ghost, you see how generous the tide is, what did you mention in the past, I will give the tide, isn't it okay to admit your mistakes shallowly?" I haven't let me touch the housework these days, I've got it all. I see that Chaoyu is so promising, and we will be the life of the official's wife in the future! ”

Lin Qianqian listened to the words of the eldest mother, and suddenly her heart was full of joy, and she couldn't hide her joy no matter how much she wanted to.

"Don't say it, hurry up and make a few dishes, and then go get some good wine, it's best to hide Qinghong for more than three years, let's make a good fuss at noon, first congratulate my father on going to the new official of the river station!"

"Okay." The eldest lady immediately left meekly.
