After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

After sending away the village chief's wife, Mrs. Dong locked the door again and went back to the house to sit down, feeling a little worried about her husband. Originally, there were people in the village who wanted to take advantage of the tax exemption, but if they didn't take advantage of it, they would gossip about it.

Someone had tried to seduce the village chief before, but the village chief was relatively stable. This time, even the village chief couldn't control himself. Just now, the village chief's wife acted like an elder to the couple. I'm afraid this matter won't be easy to handle!

Neither she nor her husband had any relatives in the village, and her father-in-law died before he could settle down. His father sold himself to his husband and then continued southward with other fleeing groups.

As long as her husband and wife had an elder around, how could she have fallen ill during her two pregnancies and childbirths? Now her family doesn't even have any land, so she relies on the tax-free rent of 100 acres of land every year and her husband helps people copy books and teaches in the academy. Live on money.

It is said that it is difficult to support a single tree, but there are many families like them in the village who live alone and have no relatives. When they fled, they all stayed together. Now that they are in the same village, they originally looked after each other.

There is a lot of land in the village, and each family won't fight for anything. Now I'm afraid there will be trouble. Ms. Dong was thinking about sending a message to her husband tomorrow, and her husband would need to come back to decide on this matter.

In fact, she originally wanted to send a message to her husband to study in the county government office and not come back this month. A month later, when the autumn harvest is over, the county government will come back after collecting taxes.

It was her younger daughter who reminded her that her husband would always come back and hiding was not a long-term solution. Then it depends on how the husband wants to solve it. Now she sincerely hopes that her husband can be admitted to Asia.

Mrs. Dong is worried about her husband, and the village chief and his wife are also talking about Xiao Qingshan. "Mr. Dong said Qingshan was studying law in the county government office? He still lives in the county government office? You didn't ask why?"

The village chief's voice suddenly became louder, and he was very shocked. Mrs. Liu quickly tugged on her husband's sleeve: "Keep your voice down, Mrs. Dong said this. Then how can we women like this know about scholars? The master will not tell Mr. Dong."

Mrs. Liu returned to the village chief as a matter of course. She dared not say that she was as surprised as her husband at the time, and then forgot to ask why.

But even thinking about it, I know that I can't ask anything. Then how can Xiao Qingshan tell Dong about everything now that he is the master of civil examination? Dong has been sick all day long and can't do any work. Even the firewood at home has to be picked up by the master when he comes back from vacation.

Dong is in poor health and doesn't go out much. She doesn't know that she has always been the jealous object of the women in the village.

Because she doesn’t need to go to the fields or dig wild vegetables in the mountains. Other people’s autumn harvest has just ended and they have no time to rest, so they have to prepare supplies for the winter. Every family goes up to the mountains to collect firewood and pick mountain products. Those who can be exchanged can be exchanged for money, and those who can’t are left behind. Eat at home.

By the time all the work was done, the adults had lost a lot of weight, and the older children were acting like adults, and they were also dark and thin.

But she, Mrs. Dong, can enjoy herself at home without doing anything. Ms. Liu couldn't even imagine how much more enjoyable it would be to just take care of her two children at home without having to work!

Even though she is the village chief's wife, she has never enjoyed such a life. snort! !

Xiao Qingshan received a message from his fellow villagers and asked Master Song for leave. Early the next morning, I went to the only snack shop in the county to buy a pack of walnut cakes for my wife and daughter, and then I hurried home.

I got home before noon, so naturally I quickly hugged my daughter and had some fun with my wife and daughter. Then Dong told the village chief about his visit and the purpose of his visit.

Xiao Qingshan put his daughter down and sighed: "Actually, I guessed that the villagers would ask for the land to be in my name. If the exam hadn't suddenly happened, I originally planned to take the initiative to raise it with the village chief. Since It's time to take the Asian Imperial Examination, so I can't do it according to my previous idea. I have to think again, even if our whole family goes to work with me, our household registration remains unchanged, and Ming Jun will come back to take the Imperial Examination in the future."

Mrs. Dong looked at her husband's thoughtful look, then looked at the time, then left and quickly made lunch. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell his daughter not to disturb his father's thoughts with his eyes.

Ming Jia watched her mother walk out of the house and quickly pulled her father's sleeves with her hands: "Dad, are you tired from studying in the county government? Is that law difficult?"

In fact, Mingjia felt that the key issue in this matter was whether his father could pass the ASJ exam and whether he could be officially assigned as an official.

Xiao Qingshan looked down at his little daughter. He suddenly understood what his little daughter said. If he really became an official, even if he was a low-ranking official, no one would dare to bully Ming Jun when he came back to take the imperial examination in the future.

It was because he was thinking complicatedly. He had also thought a lot in the county government these days. When Mr. Xie talked to him about the Asia Scholarship, his tone was quite certain. It seemed that as long as he took the exam, he would be able to pass it. Mr. Xie should know something. What.

Thinking of this, he remembered another thing. He found that the county magistrate's attitude towards him was also wrong and very contradictory.

He held a banquet, but the county magistrate didn't have time to send Master Song to take his place. It was a great honor to himself, but he had also seen the inkstone given by the county magistrate.

He wanted to study law. Master Song said that the county magistrate arranged a place for him to live and let him study in the county government office, which was considered a big favor.

If he really gets admitted to Ashi and is assigned as an officer, this can be regarded as a favor.

However, he has lived in the county government for more than ten days and has not met the county magistrate once. He had a clear feeling that the county magistrate was avoiding him, or that he was only maintaining a face-to-face relationship, both of which revealed contradictions.

The first thing can be said that the county magistrate looks down on a small person and does not want to give expensive gifts. This can also be explained. But even though he knew that he could be appointed as an official if he passed the Asian Military Examination, why did he still avoid him?

Mingjia looked at her father, who seemed suddenly enlightened for a while, and then frowned and thought deeply, as if there was something important that he couldn't figure out. Finally, he let out a long sigh, as if he couldn't think about it anymore and just stopped thinking about it.

He stood up and picked up his little daughter and said, "Let's go and see what delicious food your mother is making." When he got to the kitchen, Xiao Qingshan put his daughter on the ground away from the stove.

He walked over and squatted down to help his wife light the fire, and said casually: "After dinner, I will go to the village chief's house. You don't have to worry."

After the meal, Mrs. Dong held her little daughter in her arms and took her nap with her. Mingjun had already run out to play with his friends. There is no such thing as naps for little boys.

Xiao Qingshan looked at his sleeping wife and daughter, turned around and left the house, going to the village chief's house. It was just after lunch, and the village chief and his family were all there. Seeing that Xiao Qingshan was coming, the village chief quickly asked Xiao Qingshan to sit down and asked his wife to come out and make Xiao Qingshan a bowl of sugar water.

Seeing the distressed look on the face of the village chief's wife, Mrs. Liu, Xiao Qingshan quickly said no, he had just finished eating and there was no need to drink sugar water. Then he sat down directly, and the village chief didn't say anything after looking at him.

The village chief couldn't wait to ask about something.
