In the middle of May, the summer heat is getting stronger, especially at noon every day, when the blazing sun hangs overhead, there are no people in the streets and alleys of the whole town, only the cicadas that live among the trees are still desperately clamoring, which makes people a little irritable.

Lu Zhen was half lying on a recliner comfortably, with a pot of fragrant tea brewed in front of him, the big locust tree above his head just completely blocked the sun, and he was holding a copy of "Water Margin" that he had bought from nowhere in his hand and was reading it with relish.

This period of time can be regarded as the most comfortable period of time since he came to this era, he does not need to do anything every day, at most he only walks around in the yamen, shows his face, and at the end of the day, he reads the documents submitted by his officials and reads them casually, and the day's work is completed.

This is not the performance when they were idle and couldn't interfere with anything before, and those officials of the county government are really doing their best to do their errands, and they don't dare to make their own decisions, just asking the county magistrate to be satisfied. As for the political merits, merits, and powers, they are all ordered by him Lu County, and the final decision is also in his hands.

The so-called vertical arch rule in the ideals of the ancients is vividly reflected in Lu Jin's body at this moment. The reason why the following people are willing to be so selfless is naturally because of Lu County's recent reputation.

Although he put himself in danger and almost lost his life this time, the reward was also quite rich. Not only did the people and officials in the county regard Lu Zhen as a hero, but even those nearby magistrates also sent someone to greet him, which made Lu Zhen really show his face.

In addition, this time it also made the relationship between Lu Zhen and the Guangling garrison extremely close, even if the general manager was changed, that guy had to be respectful to the landing county commander, just like a subordinate meeting his boss. In this way, who in the county government would dare to cheat and play tricks in front of him, and who would dare not treat Lu Zhen as an ancestor? Otherwise, if Lu Zhen is upset, he doesn't need to speak, someone will clean up that guy.

Therefore, because Lu Zhen needed to recuperate from his injuries before, he did not take care of the affairs of the county government by himself. And when the injury was healed, many people scrambled to finish the matter at hand, and left the decision-making power to take the general direction to the county magistrate. In this way, Lu Zhen is naturally very relaxed, and these days he only needs to read in the courtyard of the second hall, and there is almost no trouble. The only fly in the ointment is that there is no air conditioning and WIFI in later generations, otherwise it would not be changed to a fairy.

In addition, what made him a little uncomfortable was that Chu Yunrong seemed to have been avoiding himself in the past few days. It was fine before, but since the injury healed, the woman who was considerate to her before has been hiding in the house and not coming out, and she is not afraid of being stuffy on such a hot day.

As a promising traverser from the 21st century, Lu Zhen still lost the face of the traverser, and he had no choice but to hide some things in his heart when facing such a woman. After all, in a sense, Chu Yunrong is Wen Jun's new mourner, and it is really a bit unauthentic to attack her at this time.

Holding "Water Margin" in his hand, his heart flew to such children's affairs, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he was turning over the plot of Ximenqing and Pan Jinlian hooking up and committing adultery, which made Lu Jin's face suddenly hot, and at the same time he didn't realize that if there was "Golden Bottle Plum" to watch, it would be more interesting than watching this "Water Margin". It's a pity that "Golden Vase Plum" will not come out until decades later, and it must be invisible now.

While he was thinking wildly, Master Shen suddenly held a document with a happy expression, and hurried over. As soon as he arrived in front of Lu Jin, he saluted very standardly: "I have seen Lord County." ”

"Oh...... You don't have to be polite. Lu Jin's face was hot, everyone else was busy with business, but his own county magistrate was on the sidelines, and even thought about some bad things, he was really a little ashamed. But soon, he adjusted his mentality again: "Is there any happy event?" Why are you so happy? ”

"The county lord sees that there is indeed a good thing, and it is about the county lord." As he spoke, Master Shen handed over the documents in his hand, "This is an official document sent by the Yamen of Datong Mansion, please go to Datong as soon as possible in the next two days, saying that the court has learned of your merits in this battle to defend the city, and has intended to announce your entry into the court." I heard that this is the will of His Majesty himself...... My lord, you are flying here! ”

Looking at Lord Shen's envious appearance, Lu Zhen was stunned: "A small victory can actually alarm the imperial court, and even the emperor knows about the existence of my little county order?" He really couldn't believe this statement, even if he was a traverser, he couldn't have such an unconventional treatment.

Lu Zhen knows how busy the Ming court and the great tomorrow are every day. Countless big and small things are judged by the court in Beijing, and they are all asked by the Son of Heaven, compared to other things, Guangling's victory over the Mongolian people is really too inconspicuous, how can it be in the eyes of the princes and the Son of Heaven?

However, after opening the document and browsing it quickly, Lu Zhen had to accept such a fact again. Although there is no mention of the Son of Heaven's appreciation of himself, it is also written clearly that everything is the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, in other words, announcing his entry into Beijing is exactly what the current orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen meant.

This is really a bit strange, even if the Ming border has always been peaceful now, and no one can make a decent contribution, such a victory that is not too big will not make the imperial court pay so much attention to it. What's more, in fact, when it comes to credit, Huang Hu, who led the troops to rescue, and Hu Sui, who sat in Datong, should be more prominent than themselves, why do you have this treatment alone?

"My lord, my lord's ......" Seeing Lu Jin's face groaning when he held the paperwork, Master Shen shouted twice with some concern. It wasn't until he came back to his senses that he said carefully: "My lord, you can't be lazy when it comes to the capital, and it's better to go on the road as soon as possible." ”

"Well, what you say is true, I'll leave early tomorrow morning." Although I can't see through the mystery of this, it is always an opportunity for upward mobility. Lu Zhen naturally couldn't refuse the reward from the imperial court, and after thinking about it, he had already made a decision: "So the next matter in this county government will be handed over to you and Hou County Cheng." "He has too lofty ideals, and naturally he needs to raise his official status to achieve it.

"This is the duty of the lower officials, and they should do their best." Master Shen said hurriedly. Only in his lowered eyelids, there was a hint of joy, and it was obvious that he felt that his opportunity to go further had arrived. Lu Jin's departure, it should be impossible to return to Guangling, does that mean that the opportunity for his promotion has arrived?

As a master of the Shen book who was only born as a prisoner, it was really difficult in the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty, where the imperial examination was precious, and naturally he didn't want to miss any opportunity. And now the situation in Guangling County is very different from the past, inheriting the identity of the county order that Lu Jinyi slipped down is much more comfortable than any previous county order.

Lu Zhen didn't pay attention to the other party's thoughts, he only thought about one thing now-I'm afraid that it is impossible for him to come back this time, so how should Chu Yunrong be arranged?

At least in the eyes of outsiders, Chu Yunrong is his Lu Jin's wife, and when he leaves for the capital at this time, it seems that he should take her with him. But only the two of them know that they can only be regarded as friends at most, so is there some trouble along the way?

After thinking about it and having no clue, Lu Zhen simply went to the back hall, intending to ask Chu Yunrong directly for an explanation.

When she heard Lu Zhen calling herself outside the door, Chu Yunrong's body trembled, and two red clouds appeared on her pretty face, because she remembered all the things when she was in the same room with him a few days ago, that is, her own bed, which was also occupied by this man who was not her husband at all.

The shyness of her daughter's family made it difficult for her to get along with Lu Zhen normally after she recovered from her injury, so she kept avoiding it. I didn't want this to be a little bold, so I actually came to the door directly, which made Chu Yunrong both a little shy and a little happy, and finally became a little at a loss.

Cui Mei on the side saw that the young lady looked embarrassed, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so she immediately stepped forward and opened the door: "Master, do you have anything to say to Mrs. ”

"Oh, you dead girl...... Chu Yunrong's face became more and more rosy, and he couldn't help complaining, but a pair of wonderful eyes also looked at Lu Zhen outside the door nervously, both a little expectant, but also a little scared, and his mood was very complicated.

But it's a pity that her expression is not strong because the light in the room is not strong, and the sun is raging outside, under the strong contrast, Lu Zhen can't see her expression clearly at all, but just according to his own thoughts: "What, I just have the documents of the Datong Mansion, let me rush there as soon as possible, and then I will go to the capital, I am afraid that I will not return to Guangling." So, I want to ask you what you mean......"

"Huh?" I didn't expect that what I was waiting for was such a statement, which made Chu Yunrong breathe a sigh of relief and feel a little lost at the same time. But fortunately, her heart is also stable, and she quickly understood what Lu Zhen meant, and hurriedly said: "Since you are going to be an official elsewhere, I should follow as a wife." When she said the word wife, she had a different feeling in her heart.

"That's the best thing to do. Don't worry, I'll be ready to make you suffer from it. Seeing her agree, Lu Jin's heart was full of joy, and his face was also happy, and he hurriedly said as if he was making a statement.

His reaction all fell in Chu Yunrong's eyes, which made her feel happy, it seems that this man still has some thoughts about himself......
