"It's not something a Beijing official can solve." Uncle Zhang glared at his son angrily.

Mr. Xu, who had talked with his grandson in detail several times, also shook his head.

I don't know how the evil wind and evil spirit formed, and now the young officials are all scrambling to run outside, like some kind of scourge in the capital.Even in some relatively poor places, there is no shortage of officials who volunteered.

I feel that Beijing officials are worthless, and local officials are powerful.

Especially in the past two years, Tu Hao, a doctor of the Ministry of Industry, has also been running on the front line. Officials from the Sixth Ministry who were on duty in the capital also appeared to run out, and some of them sent their subordinate officials to the first line. line to go.

Under this atmosphere, the number of officials in the capital is steadily decreasing.

Zhang Tuantuan's idea was very simple, first of all, to keep Xu Mingxu in the ranks of officials, and second, to find a leisurely official position that would allow Xu Mingxu to take care of Tu Hao at any time.

If Xu Mingxu can accept such an arrangement, then the next thing will be easy.After all, everyone could see that a large part of the reason why Xu Mingxu insisted on resigning was because of Tu Hao's body.As for this point, he had already been discussing with his big fat father, and felt that Tu Hao's body could not be sent abroad for such a long time, so he had to stay in the capital.

On this point, they have the same position as Xu Mingxu, and there is no conflict. Naturally, they can sit down and discuss.

"Alas..." There were no outsiders in the imperial study room at the moment, Zhang Shishu finally said his original plan, "I don't want Xu Qilang to take one or two prefects outside, and when he returns to Beijing, it will be almost the same." .”

The magistrate Xu Mingxu used to be was just a county magistrate.If there is a larger platform to display his fists, he believes that he can do more.As for almost anything, of course, he can almost be a servant in Liubu.

Being a fourth-rank official in his 20s looks a little younger, but he has two prefects in his turn, and when Xu Mingxu is 30 years old, he will be a third-rank or second-rank official. It doesn't look so eye-catching, and he has enough experience.

Zhang Tuantuan still didn't think how complicated this matter could be, so he asked someone to transfer the file from the Ministry of Officials, pondered it carefully, and found his father the next day: "I think it's good for Xu Qilang to take this position." .”

Uncle Zhang looked at his son, his tone full of uncertainty: "Can it work?"

Zhang Tuantuan shook his head: "I don't know. Father, call Xu Qilang first, and let's discuss it."

Now if the person who made the resignation was replaced by another Zheng Yun who was also very optimistic about the emperor, the Lao Zhang family would not have such an attitude.

However, Lao Zhang's family regards Tu Hao as half of his family, and the feelings they have gotten along with for so many years are not in vain.Xu Mingxu is Tu Hao's Qi brother, and to them, they have the same meaning as their own daughter-in-law and son-in-law. In addition, the original intention of Xu Mingxu's resignation was for Tu Hao, so they naturally have a biased relationship.

Uncle Zhang heard his son's suggestion and thought it made sense, so he immediately decided: "Let's go, let's discuss it with Xu Qilang."

He has been pinched countless times by his wife for this matter.After all, Lao Zhang's family still have lingering fears about Tu Hao's bad stomach last year.

Then a squeamish mouse that doesn't know how to take care of itself, just left it outside like this to be free and unrestrained. Fortunately, this time it just ate a bad stomach. What if it was an accident that ate itself to death?

So emotionally, Uncle Zhang can still understand Xu Mingxu.

Xu Mingxu was easy to find. For more than half a year, apart from going to the Yamen, he almost stayed with Tu Hao in Haoyuan, and the farthest was to go to the suburbs of Beijing.

When Lao Zhang and his son arrived, they only saw Tu Hao who was reading in the tea pavilion, and felt strange: "Is Qilang not here?"

"Yes." Tu Hao pulled a string, opened the window, and looked outside.

In today's buildings, there are very few houses with more than three floors.His tea pavilion was built on a rockery, and it was almost three stories high. Usually, when viewed from the tea pavilion, there is a feeling of seeing all the small mountains at a glance, and you can see the surroundings clearly.

Haoyuan is built near the water, and there is a river beside it.

Tu Hao called Zhang's father and son to sit down, and pointed to the other side of the river: "He's over there."

As soon as he finished speaking, three servants knocked on the door and came in, changed the tea and snacks, and said, "Wait a minute, Dalang, we have already sent someone to call Qilang."

As soon as the servant finished speaking, he saw Xu Mingxu coming from the other side in a small boat.The river was not wide, and in the blink of an eye, he jumped lightly onto the bank on the side of the garden.

Haoyuan was originally only built by him for Tu Hao to take a walk, but recently they lived in Haoyuan for a long time, and some aspects were not enough.In addition, some relatives and friends visit from time to time, or want to borrow the garden, so he wants to expand the garden.

It's just that in the capital, it's not easy to expand.Although the people living in Chuanlangfang are not high-ranking officials and nobles, they are all officials and eunuchs. If they could buy the surrounding land at the beginning, then Haoyuan would not be the place it is now.He wasn't in a hurry, he was noticed.

Not long ago, there was an opportunity. Someone on the other side of the river wanted to sell land and houses.Although there is only a small river across, the other side of the river is no longer Chuanlangfang, but Xiachuanfang.Most of the people living in Xiachuanfang are merchants.The family who made the sale sold the land that they had bought for many years but had never built a house when their business could not turn around.

Although it's just an open space, it's still in a place like Xiachuanfang, but the land with a total of more than eight acres is also expensive.They themselves did not expect that they could find their next home so quickly, and they could even settle all the money at once.

With more than eight acres of land, there is a lot to do.The three ponies of the little mouse can all play in it.He can also build a bridge on both sides to connect with the garden.

As soon as he bought the land, he had countless sketches in his mind. When he heard the message from his servants that someone was looking for it, he didn't think much about it. As a result, as soon as he entered the tea pavilion, he saw the boss and the prince who had not been fired by him.

"Minister Xu Mingxu, I pay my respects to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Uncle Zhang waved his hand and said casually, "We call you uncle in private." After Xu Mingxu changed his words, he followed the direction he came to take a closer look, "You guys even built a pier, and you didn't look carefully last time. .” Immediately I wanted to play.

Prince Tuantuan grabbed his unreliable father and said seriously: "Let's talk about the business first."

"Oh." Uncle Zhang still stared at the pier, then turned his head and asked Xu Mingxu, "Qilang, you really don't want to be an official anymore? Don't you have anything you want to do? Being an official has the right to do things How convenient."

Xu Mingxu didn't expect Boss Zhang to come up with such a trick, and he didn't know what to say.He vaguely remembered when he was young, the first time he followed Tu Hao to the small village to play, and the "Uncle Master" secretly gave him a handful of fried pine nuts.

Facing his boss, he can fire people without hesitation, but he can't do this to his elders.

He asked himself, is there really nothing he wants to do?

The answer is of course no, but: "Qilang has failed his uncle's expectations." You can still do things without being an official.Besides, if he is not an official, there are still many people in his family who are officials. Even if there are more twists and turns in what he wants to do, he can still accomplish it.

After finishing speaking, he poured a cup of hot goat's milk for everyone. The fresh jasmine fragrance mixed with frankincense, the mouthfeel was mellow and silky, without any fishy smell; : "The newly made lactose in the kitchen, uncle and brother try it."

Uncle Zhang felt a little greedy when he heard it was candy. He touched his stomach, looked at his son, and asked, "Will you tell your mother, does daddy eat candy?"

"Yes." Zhang Tuantuan looked at his unreliable father seriously, and explained to his two younger brothers, "The imperial doctor said that the father should not eat like this anymore. The mother said that if she keeps getting so fat, she will not be able to ride a horse."

Tu Mouse nodded in understanding immediately, realizing that what the queen said was the truth, and what the imperial doctor said was deafening.

Zhang Tuantuan himself had no taboos, but before he finished his business, he had no intention of eating sweets at all, so he seriously discussed with Xu Mingxu: "I think you don't want to leave Beijing in a short time, and you can't do the work of the inspector. You have established dozens of schools in various places in the past few years. If you let go of this at once, the successor officials may not be able to maintain these schools."

The reason why Xu Mingxu was able to run the school so quickly and efficiently had nothing to do with the support of the imperial court.As a doctor of the Ministry of Rites, he was not a specially approved doctor of the Ministry of Industry like Tu Hao, and he had very little money and power on hand.The reason why he was able to make these achievements is mostly because of his personal ability and personal relationship.

If another person were to do this job, I am afraid that these new schools that have not been established for two years will not be able to maintain it in seven or eight out of ten.

Xu Mingxu is a responsible person, he immediately frowned and nodded: "Yeah."

Seeing him nodding his head, Prince Tuantuan breathed a sigh of relief: "So you have to continue working as a doctor in the Ministry of Rites. At the very least, you have to cultivate someone who can completely replace you."

Xu Mingxu thought for a while, then subconsciously touched Tu Hao's hand beside him: "Yes." It doesn't take long to train a person.Anyway, he is in the capital, if the successor doesn't understand anything, he can come and ask him at any time.At least three months, as long as half a year, you can hand over all the affairs of the doctor of the Ministry of Rites clearly.

Next, Zhang Tuantuan didn't say anything else, but asked Xu Mingxu about his future plans.For a while, we talked happily, and even changed places to go fishing by the river.

As soon as the four of them put their fishing rods out, Tu Hao began to take vaccinations first: "There is a boat in this river, and people clean up the aquatic plants from time to time, and there are few fish."

"It's okay, it's good to sit by the river, but it's stuffy in the palace." Uncle Zhang meant it by holding the fishing rod.Now I can clearly feel that it is spring, even though it is still very cold in the morning and evening, the two hours at noon are really warm, blowing people warm.

When he said bored, he certainly didn't mean that the palace was small.The main reason is that my precious daughter's wedding is coming soon, and being a father feels a little hard to get over that hurdle.

The four of them chatted about homework for a while, and asked about Xu Mingxu's future plans.

Although Xu Mingxu felt that something was wrong, he still didn't feel what was wrong, so he told his future plans.

For an entire hour, the four of them caught Tu Hao with two small fish the size of a finger, and Zhang Tuantuan caught a small crab.He put the little crab back into the river, and said to Xu Mingxu in a very homely manner: "Since you are going to Jiangdan School, why not make the sacrificial wine over there? Anyway, it was originally your family's property, and Mr. Lanyue is also old. When you grow up, you always have to share some."

Hearing this, Tu Hao glanced at Zhang Tuantuan suddenly.

Xu Mingxu originally planned this way, but: "I have to discuss it with my husband first."

Needless to say, the result of the discussion, Mr. Lanyue naturally agreed.He is now more and more powerless, and compared to managing such a huge education industry, he prefers purely teaching children.

The next day, Xu Mingxu's new appointment came. As Zhang Tuantuan said, the official position of the inspector was gone, and the doctor of the Ministry of Rites was still there.

Tu Hao looked at the speechless Xu Mingxu: "Did you forget that Mr. Lanyue is a temporary post in the Imperial College?"

The author has something to say:

Little Mouse (￣□￣): Tuantuan, you are no longer like this.

Prince Tuantuan (￣ω￣): I have always been like this.

Little Mouse (*￣△￣*): You didn’t know how to do tricks before.

Prince Tuantuan (￣ω￣): I don’t know how to do routines now.

Little Mouse (*￣ー￣): Nonsense!

Tuantuan Big Brother Prince (ΘωΘ): I'm just disciplining my younger brother.
