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

It is said that they can set off in 5 days, but in fact there is still a lot that needs to be done. Xiao Qingshan does not want his son and daughter to be disappointed. Once we set the departure date, we are as busy as a top.

He returned the land in his name to the villagers, signed a three-year contract with the wealthy household, and received 3 taels of silver. I took gifts to the county government office to bid farewell to the county magistrate and Master Song, but in the end I still couldn't see the county magistrate.

Xiao Qingshan came to the academy again and was welcomed by all his classmates and teachers. Many poor students in the county school now follow Xiao Qingshan as an example. Children from wealthy families know how to please valuable people since childhood, and they are even more enthusiastic.

Xiao Qingshan invited Mr. Xie, and Xie Boyu met Xiao Qingshan in the previous hall. Looking at his student, Xie Boyu had a lot to say and a lot of things to tell him, but he couldn't say them.

Now everything has verified his conjecture. How far Xiao Qingshan can go in the future depends on his own destiny. Either he becomes a pawn in this chess game, or he rises and eventually becomes the emperor's sharp knife that stabs the family.

In fact, it is not easy to keep a family safe in this chaos. Is it okay to be a county magistrate with peace of mind, travel to various places in the future, and cultivate future generations of heirs? But neither the emperor nor the family may agree.

Xiao Qingshan looked at Mr. Xie and was very grateful. Mr. Xie had not been teaching in the college for a long time, but Mr. Xie’s experience and vision were incomparable to other teachers. Mr. Xie told them a lot, which Xiao Qingshan did not dare to think about before, and even recognized. beyond knowledge.

He regretted that Mr. Xie was only his husband, and envied that Xie Jin could be Mr. Xie's disciple. When leaving, Xiao Qingshan bowed deeply to Mr. Xie. He was going to the frontier to take up a post, and he might have to retire before he could return to his hometown.

After returning from the county, Xiao Qingshan took two jars of rice wine to Li Hansheng's house. Li Hansheng looked at the rice wine on the table and Xiao Qingshan, who was a little sad. He felt that he needed to persuade Xiao Qingshan to stop drinking.

Surprisingly, Xiao Qingshan did not pour wine for himself this time, but only poured wine for Li Hansheng. Li Hansheng raised his eyebrows, something happened!

Xiao Qingshan hesitated for a while, and finally decided to speak: "Brother Li, you have saved my life. In this life, I will repay your kindness as long as you need it.

Even here in Tianjia Village, you helped me a lot. I know you are capable, but I never thought I would ask you for anything else in this life. "

As soon as he started talking, Xiao Qingshan's eyes turned red. Originally, he had no idea about going to Sichuan Province. But today he went to the county government office and county school, and he was now full of worries.

He couldn't understand or understand the county magistrate's attitude, Master Song's hesitation, and Mr. Xie's eyes. But one thing he knew was that the inside story of this matter was beyond his control.

If he was alone, he could pretend not to notice. But he has to take his whole family with him to the appointment! He didn't want Dong and the children to follow him into danger. At this point, he could not leave Dong and the children in Tianjiacun to take up his post.

Thinking of Cheng Si who was introduced to him by Li Hansheng, Xiao Qingshan could see that Cheng Si had been trained and had blood on his hands. Then Li Hansheng must have more than just Cheng Si.

Li Hansheng was surprised that Xiao Qingshan started such a big battle just to get manpower from him and protect his wife and children. He was still worried about finding any reason to arrange someone next to Xiao Qingshan next time. He immediately agreed to take people to Xiao's house tomorrow.

Xiao Qingshan was very happy to see that his goal was achieved. He quickly picked up the wine jar and planned to pour himself a glass of wine. Li Hansheng quickly stopped him: "You have a bad drinking capacity, and you don't have any guard against others when you are drunk. You'd better quit being in officialdom in the future!"

Xiao Qingshan's hand holding the wine jar paused. He knew that his ability to drink was poor, but was the wine quality also so bad?

Before Li Hansheng defected to the emperor and followed the army, he had traveled to some states and counties. After the army was raised, he went to many places during the war. Xiao Qingshan announced his plan to leave early and drive slowly all the way.

Of course, in fact, Xiao Qingshan agreed to take the post like this partly because of the children's playfulness, but partly because he was also afraid that his wife's body would not be able to bear it. Li Hansheng didn't ask the reason, but helped Xiao Qingshan design and arrange the prefectures, counties and inns where he would stop along the way.

On March 13, Xiao Qingshan's family, welcomed by the villagers, embarked on a trip to take office. They planned to go to the capital as their first stop and stay a little longer. Xiao Qingshan really didn't want to think back to his daughter's words: "Dad, it's hard to come to the capital, otherwise my brother may be taking the spring exam next time he comes."

Although Xiao Qingshan has no big ambitions, he also knows that there is almost no possibility of him becoming a Beijing official. But what the little daughter said was really heartbreaking!

After leaving the village for a cup of tea, they saw Cheng Si and three people waiting for them on the roadside. The four of them greeted them and introduced their names, without telling them their origins or births. Well, no more nonsense.

Except for Chen Xiaoliu, whom I met last time when I went to the state city for the exam, the two new faces were thirteen and fourteen respectively. Xiao Qingshan called his son and daughter out of the carriage to see him. It was not convenient for Mr. Dong to see them.

Brother and sister Mingjun and Mingjia generously called them Sixth Uncle, Thirteenth Uncle/Fourteenth Uncle. It scared the three men who never flinched on the battlefield. Cheng Si patted the shoulders of several brothers: "Young master and young lady, just answer what I call you."

Xiao Qingshan quickly said: "You are joking, there is no such thing as a young master or a young lady. They are still young, so just call them Mingjun Mingjia. You look a few years younger than me, so it is just right for them to call you uncle. I will trouble you in the future." Please take good care of me, please be patient if your child is naughty."

The four of them looked at each other and were very impressed by Xiao Qingshan's attitude. The four of them are from the personal guard camp of the Duke of Guo. During the war, there will be soldiers saluting wherever they go. After the establishment of the dynasty, even if there are many nobles in the capital. There has never been a noble family that didn't mess with them.

Although it is the mission given by the Duke of the State to protect Xiao Qingshan's family of four before they go to their posts, if they show off their authority as masters and treat them as servants, then the journey will be exciting.

After saying hello, we officially set off. Cheng Si opened the way in front, Xiao Liu drove the carriage, the two carriages carrying luggage behind were driven by coachmen, and Thirty Thirty Four rode horses on both sides.

They headed straight to the capital. When passing by Tianjin Port, Mingjia wanted to stop and take a look. This Tianjin Port, known as the lower end of the Nine Rivers, with three pontoons and two passes, is the hub of the economy along the inland canal and the starting point of the development of maritime trade. ah!

The imperial court will issue a special small flag to each official who is assigned an official. If you put the small flag on the carriage, you can have a smooth journey. Entering the city is tax-free, and staying at the inn is also free.

Xiao Qingshan is always very uneasy. Anyway, even the entrance tax in the capital is only 2 cents per person. Xiao Qingshan decided to put away the small flag first and keep a low profile to ensure a safe arrival in the capital.
