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

Sun Juan held back his tears and took the book of law. He had never met a person who sincerely wished him well without asking for anything in return.

Even among his family members, his eldest brother would always emphasize the hard work of farming every time he went to the academy to bring him food, and he would repay his family when he became successful.

Even when he went home on vacation, the little nephew emphasized at the dinner table that his father grew the food in the family, and asked the little uncle to make a fortune quickly and repay his father so that he could take him to eat big fish and meat.

Sun Juan knew that his brothers had suffered over the years, and he was determined to study hard and repay his brothers in the future. However, when he was mentioned over and over again, he always felt a little aggrieved.

Now that I suddenly met Xiao Qingshan like this, I couldn't hold myself any longer. Xiao Qingshan didn't know what Sun Juan was thinking. He would be very happy if he knew: Yes! Miss me so much! Finally met someone who is more realistic than me.

Xiao Qingshan looked at his daughter standing on the chair in the study room and was a little confused. What did the little daughter just say? : Why should she write travel notes? To write the best travelogue.

Are you obsessed with listening to travel stories? Yes, little Mingjia is only 4 years old now, and she doesn’t know much about reading just after she started school. She still needs her father or brother to read the Eight Records of Yongzhou to her, and even her brother often pronounces the wrong words.

When Xiao Qingshan was still doubting himself, he didn't expect his son to join him. His son said that he also wanted to write a travel diary.

Mingjun really wants to write travel notes. He likes the scenery and humanities recorded in Eight Notes of Yongzhou very much. As for how he came up with the idea of ​​writing travel notes, he needs to ask his good sister Mingjia.

Seeing his son and daughter vowing to write travel notes, Xiao Qingshan couldn't bear to pour cold water on them and immediately expressed his support. When the travel notes were written, he would be the first to read them, and the father and son laughed together.

On the eighth day of March, the peaceful village became lively again. A group of government servants entered the village beating gongs and drums.

He came to deliver official documents to Xiao Qingshan. Xiao Qingshan was appointed as the county magistrate of Qu County in Chuanzhou and took office on the first day of May.

Also sent along was 50 taels of household allowance given by the court. One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the villagers exploded. A county magistrate actually appeared in their village.

Mrs. Dong made two strings of copper coins and gave them to the yamen servants to treat them to tea. After giving them to the yamen servants, she waited until the villagers who were watching the commotion and the village chief who was smiling from ear to ear had left. Then she closed the door and the family sat down to chat. What to do if you get down?

Ming Jun was the first to ask: "Dad, where is Sichuan? Is it far away? Is there a sea?" He looked anxious.

Xiao Qingshan smiled bitterly. He had thought of being remote, but never thought of being so remote. He explained to his son: "Sichuanzhou is in the northwest and not close to the sea. On the contrary, Sichuanzhou is more prone to drought and has some water shortages." Upon hearing this, Mingjun Somewhat disappointed.

Ming Jia also frowned: Northwest, lack of water? Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia? What is suitable for planting in the northwest? Ah, my knowledge of geography!

Xiao Qingshan looked at his disappointed son and daughter with a little frown, and said with some distress: "Besides, Sichuan Province is a border state, it is Xiazhou, and it was a poor state in the previous dynasty. I'm afraid you will suffer if you follow me. "

Mrs. Dong looked at her husband, secretly pulled her husband's sleeves and comforted him: "It's not up to you to decide where to be an official. It'll be okay. As long as our family is together, it will be fine."

Mingjun also felt his father's self-blame, but he didn't know how to comfort his father. Ming Jia spoke for the first time at this time, her tone innocent and a bit arrogant: "That is also the young lady from the county magistrate's family."

Xiao Qingshan smiled and touched his little daughter's head: Yes, you are the daughter of the county magistrate, and the only one.

After figuring out the location and distance of Chuanzhou, Mingjia had a bold idea. It is now the first day of May, which is about 50 days away. It usually takes about 20 days to walk normally. In fact, it is all calculated. Here, 15 days are left to pack and pack, and there is 15 days to pack and adapt to the county government.

The Xiao family has few things and has almost packed them. In fact, as long as they find a caravan or escort, they will be able to set off soon. Dad must serve in Chuanzhou for at least 3 years, no less than 15 days in advance.

Mingjia wants to spend more time on the road, understanding the national conditions and the people to find more possibilities.

Mingjia told her brother about her idea first, so that she could have more time to play on the road. Mingjun agreed with both hands. So the brother and sister put together a united front, acted coquettishly and cutely, and made a lot of nonsense. At one point, they said that they wanted to stay in each city for two more days to write travel notes.

After a while, he said that his father didn't often accompany them in the academy earlier, and he would be very busy in the future and would have no time. Why not spend more time with them on the road?

It was rare for Xiao Qingshan and Dong to see their son and daughter act so coquettishly together. The couple discussed it and found that there was really nothing to deal with, so they agreed to the brother and sister's proposal.

Set off to Chuanzhou in 5 days.

While the Xiao family was happily planning for the future, Li Hansheng felt a lot more relieved. He knew that many counties now did not have county magistrates, but local gentry colluded with merchants to control county finances by driving up prices.

With Xiao Qingshan's straightforward character, it would be difficult to start work in such a county. It would be good if the son of an aristocratic family had the support of his family, but it would be good if a county magistrate from such a poor family could save his life. After all, bandits are in chaos, doctors are in short supply, and people who eat whole grains will not get sick.

However, there is no need to worry about this now, because Xiao Qingshan went to Qu County in Chuanzhou. There are no squires in Qu County, and there are not even a few merchants. To be more precise, there are not many people.

The village chief was so excited that he couldn't sleep. He thanked his father for choosing to settle here. The feng shui is great! In just a few years, a county magistrate was issued.

In the county academy, Xie Jin listened to the servant's report on Xiao Qingshan's appointment document, and was so happy that he rewarded him: "Xiao Qingshan, do you think you can be an official without worries if you take the spot from me? I've made you so miserable. Damn this place, let’s see when you can achieve political success.”

In fact, Xie Jin didn't do anything. On the day of the Asia Scholarship Examination, Xie Jin used the name of the Xie family to visit the prefect.

The rankings of the government examinations are announced. Everyone knows that this law examination is just a formality. It tests memory and just memorizes the law. Therefore, the candidates’ answer sheets were not sealed. Xie Jin had a secret conversation with the prefect, and Xie Jin took up his pen and added a sentence at the end of Xiao Qingshan's answer sheet:

Students, I am grateful to the saints and wise men for giving me this opportunity. Although my talent is like a rotten tree, it is difficult to become a pillar, but I hope that I can go to the frontier and restore the prosperity of the past with my meager efforts.

Xie Jin imitated his handwriting a lot in order to frame Xiao Qingshan, and it was even harder to tell the authenticity of this line of writing.

As soon as the answer sheet was handed over, the officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs were happy. They were worried that no one in Sichuan Prefecture was willing to go. Here comes a person who actively asks to go to the frontier. Let's arrange it!

This answer sheet was used as a flattery tool by the Ministry of Personnel officials and was presented to the emperor. The emperor was also very pleased. It was rare to see such a righteous act.
