Chapter 45: A Little Farewell
"Xian'er, since that Lord Cui values you so much, you must not live up to this adult's expectations and cultivation, three days later, you can rest assured to follow Lord Cui, the man is ambitious in all directions, and he must go out to explore, this, my mother supports you. Mother knows that you don't worry about Mother, but Mother is really fine, no matter how bad it is, there is Duan Fei who can take care of it on the side, you don't have to worry at all. Chu Huang asked Chu Xian to relax, Chu Xian nodded, fortunately, he had tried his best to help his mother regulate his body before, otherwise this time, Chu Xian really couldn't go.
"By the way, how is that Master Cui going to arrange for you?" Chu Huang asked tentatively, she knew that the introduction of a person to a career usually only starts from a small official, and slowly accumulates, if you want to get a certain official and half a grade, you have to stay up for a year or two.
When his mother asked, Chu Xian remembered that he hadn't read the letter Li Yanji had given him.
Taking it out at this moment, Chu Xian opened it and looked at it.
Although the letter was given to him by Li Yanji, it was instructed by Cui Huanzhi, so this letter was written by Cui Huanzhi, and after Chu Xian read it, he smiled at his mother: "Lord Cui is really as my mother said, I value the child very much, and I actually directly gave the child an official position of the ninth grade, it seems that I really can't live up to Lord Cui's cultivation." ”
Chu Huang's excited fingers trembled, and he hurriedly took it over to take a look, only to find that this was not a letter at all, but a "sealed order".
The order is used by the upper official to the lower official to seal the official, with this order, being an official is basically a sure thing, and what is missing is only the last step, that is, to report to the imperial court and seal the name of Chu Xian into the 'official canon'.
The name is entered into the official canon, and the holy power is blessed, and then he will be the real official.
"My son is going to be an official!" Chu Huang's family was extremely excited, and he didn't blame her, if anyone in the family could produce an official, it would be a glorious thing for the ancestors.
Especially in the Tiantang Holy Dynasty, being able to be given an official and a half-post is something that many people dream of. The so-called official is the glory of the ancestors and the blessing of the descendants.
Chu Xian was naturally smiling when he saw his mother's happiness, but the Tao is divided into yin and yang, and there are two sides to everything, if there is a good side, there must be a bad side.
Those who become officials not only want to glorify their ancestors and bless their descendants, but most importantly, they must be worthy of this official position and bear this responsibility.
In the next two days, the news that Chu Xian was going to become an official also spread, at first only Xu Duanfei and a few neighbors who were good friends with Chu Huang's family knew, and later, everyone in Quanling County knew about it. This time, the threshold of the Chu family is about to be flattened by the people who say the matchmaker, although most people don't know what kind of official Chu Xian wants to be, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that Chu Xian wants to be an official.
Anyway, in the eyes of the people, being an official, that is, an official master, is already different from ordinary people.
In addition to the matchmaker, some wealthy businessmen in Lingxian County also sent congratulatory gifts, but Chu Xian did not accept any of these, and in the end he was so annoyed that Xu Duanfei sent two officials to guard the door, as long as they came to give gifts, they were all sent away.
Xu Duanfei knew that Chu Xian was going to leave Lingxian County in two days, so he also discussed taking Chu Huang's family to live with him, but Chu Huang's family was unwilling, and Chu Xian also relied on his mother.
Now Chu Xian has a lot of silver in his hand, leaving some of it for Chu Huang's family, and some of it is for Xu Duanfei to find someone to fix the yard and house at home, after all, some of the previous ones are too shabby. The last remaining silver is enough to buy a girl to come back to serve the Chu Huang family.
With Xu Duan Fei taking care of him, and a little girl waiting, Chu Xian finally left with confidence.
Of course, before leaving, Chu Xian found an opportunity to teach the Vajra Xuankong Fist to Xu Duanfei, and told Xu Duanfei that in the future, there is no need to practice the Black Sand Palm, as long as he practices the Vajra Xuankong Fist well, he can at least step into the innate realm of "refining and refining qi".
Xu Duanfei was naturally very excited, if he got the treasure, he had already seen that Chu Xian was not an ordinary person, that medical skills, that calmness in encountering problems, and the kind of knowledge that instructed him in martial arts on weekdays, all made Xu Duanfei have a 'awe' for Chu Xian.
So although he was puzzled and curious, Xu Duanfei did not ask about the origin of this Vajra Xuankong Fist, this was out of trust, Chu Xian could teach him this martial art without reservation, that is, trust him, and Xu Duanfei was righteous and angry, how could he live up to Chu Xian's trust?
Finally, it was the third day.
Early in the morning, there was a soldier wearing a narrow robe with a collar and a sword at his waist, riding a horse, and leading a horse to Lingxian County, and went directly to the door of Chu's house.
"Lord Chu, I am Qi Chengxiang, the commander of the Inspector Division, and I am here to take over Lord Chu on the order of Master Li, the commander of the Division. ”
The voice is loud and full of confidence.
A few bear children playing outside saw this majestic soldier, and they were frightened and did not dare to say anything, and some of them were bold and watched from a distance, looking curious.
There are even people who look envious and yearning.
Chu Xian had been waiting for a long time, he couldn't wait if he didn't wait, and before dawn, Chu Huang dragged him up, put on new clothes, put on new shoes, and the clothes and wraps prepared on the road had already been prepared last night.
The mother of the child is worried.
But Chu Huang hid this worry in his heart, but how could Chu Xian not see it, in the same way, he also hid the sorrow of parting in his heart.
The door opened, Chu Xian walked out, Chu Huang followed out, and it could be seen that Chu Huang was holding the corners of his clothes with both hands, trembling a little.
"I've seen Lord Chu!" The soldier named Qi Chengxiang immediately dismounted and saluted, solemn, this is the official system of the Tiantang Holy Dynasty, rigorous and sacred.
Chu Xian returned the salute, then turned around and glanced at Chu Huang, then knelt on his knees and kowtowed three times.
Chu Huang wanted to step forward to help, but she knew that if she didn't let her son knock, her son would definitely not agree, but when Chu Xian kowtowed to the third head, she hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her son up.
"Mother, the child is gone, you take care of your own body, and it will not be long before the child's official position is stable, and the mother will be brought to enjoy the blessings. Chu Xian's lips trembled, and he choked up a little.
Chu Huang nodded again and again, and his throat moved several times before he said: "Go, don't let Master Cui wait longer, remember, if it's cold, wear more clothes, don't catch a cold." ”
Chu Xian's eyes were teary-eyed.
It was Chu Huang's who smiled and said: "Silly boy, it's not gone, you're gone, my mother is fine, let's go, let's go." ”
Chu Xian got up at this time, and at this time he saw Xu Duanfei standing not far away, and the latter shouted at Chu Xian: "Brother, don't worry, there is me here." ”
Chu Xian nodded, then turned over and got on his horse.
Tiantang Holy Dynasty, if it is not necessary, the official does not sit in a sedan chair, travel and ride a horse, this is the official law, if it is a long way, you can take a car, but Lingxian to Ancheng is only thirty miles, riding a horse is enough.
Chu Xian turned back three times in one step, and Chu Huang's family was sent all the way outside the earthen wall of the county seat.
"Mother, go back, get up early in the cold, be careful of the cold, the child is gone. Chu Xian had stabilized his mood at this time, and he knew that it would not be good to hesitate any longer, so after speaking, he shook the reins and rushed away.
Until he couldn't see Chu Xian's back, Chu Huang was still standing outside the earthen wall of Lingxian County, unwilling to leave for a long time.
