Chapter 972: Don't Look at What You Shouldn't!

returned from the valley, the dinner table was already set with dishes. She felt a pang of guilt, "Mother, I've made you wait again..." 。"What silly things are you saying, we're all family! You guys a...By the way, I went to give some treats to my father yesterday and saw the list that the Ministry of Personnel submitted. 。"The emperor is going to give the new Jinshi officials titles!" The third princess beamed with pride, "I snuck a peek at the list. Do you want to know where your older brothers have been assigned" "No thanks!" Jia Yin didn't take the bait and laughed, "They learned all that knowledge just to serve the country and be loyal to their uncle emperor." 。Wherever Uncle Huang arranges them, our family has no objections. 。"Oh, you're so boring! Just follow me and you'll have less meat!" The Third Princess scolded, stamping her foot angrily. 。Jia Yin has spent so long with her, she knows her temper too well. 。At this point, if you don't press for details, the Third Princess might say even more. 。As expected, the third princess blurted out her words like beans pouring from a bamboo tube. 。"Your elder brother is the number one scholar, given an official rank of sixth grade, and assigned to be a county magistrate in the southwest." 。It seems like he lives very close to the Lu family, so he wouldn't be afraid of being bullied there. 。Your sixth older brother is a seventh-rank official, left in a small county over three hundred miles southeast of our new capital. 。And Baozhu's brother stayed at the Honglu Temple, also holding the rank of seventh grade. 。“Jia Yin heard this and let out a sigh of relief. The news that he was bestowed with an official position was within the expectations of his family members. He wasn't given special treatment, nor was anyone secretly interfering. This was the best possible outcome.” 。She casually asked, "What about Brother Lu He must still be in Xin Du, right After all, you guys have a wedding to prepare for." 。"

The third princess blushed and replied, "He was left at the Hanlin Academy by his father to compile books, but he was given the rank of fifth-grade official. He's the highest ranking among the new scholars, even higher than your elder brother." 。"

Editing

Jia Yin frowned slightly, remembering when her brothers would talk animatedly and passionately, Lu Ge was also one of the most insightful among them " 。Now, for the rest of his life, he will be confined to the house every day to study. He surely won't be too happy about that... But in the end, he isn't her real brother. What happens to him has nothing to do with her. 。She then pushed the thought aside and went into the house with the third princess. 。Soon, Shui Ling went home to pick up the reluctant little fox, and Zhi Lan Palace also returned to its former liveliness. 。The little maids secretly took bits of jerky and quietly fed them to the fox kits. 。If anyone caught the little fox's eye and was lucky enough to bathe and comb her fur, they would be envied and coveted by all the other young ladies for a long time...Two days later, Jia Yin heard that the imperial edict had been issued from the Ministry of Officials, so she anxiously rushed out of the palace to go home and take a look. 。The weather is fine, the trees on both sides of the palace path are green, casting a cool and comfortable shade on the ground. 。The little fox was lazy and unwilling to walk, so it lay in Jia Yin's arms, waiting for its master to take it out of the palace. 。Jia Yin smoothly recited, "You've become rounder and lazier." 。"Now I don't even want to walk. What if my legs degenerate later If I meet a bad guy, I won't be able to run at all. What will you do then!"

Little Fox narrowed its eyes and lazily called out, whether it was coquettish or protesting.

Shui Ling hurried a few steps, just about to take the little fox, but the little fox suddenly raised its head and looked warily at a corner. 。Jia Yin and Shui Ling, along with Shui Yun, rushed to look but could only see a back disappear in a flash. 。The little fox jumped up, eager and ready to run. 。Jia Yin pulled it away with a sudden jerk, then pressed it back into her bosom. 。

Shui Ling blinked her eyes and whispered, "County Princess, I seem to have seen..."

"Be quiet!" Jia Yin interrupted her abruptly, whispering, "You didn't see anything, and don't tell anyone>>> 。"From now on, whenever you see this person, pretend you don't know them, understand" Water Ling was stunned and about to speak when Shui Yun covered her mouth. 。“My lady, I will keep an eye on Shui Ling. Please rest assured.” 。" Jia Yin nodded, holding the little fox and walking ahead. 。The water clouds parted, Water Spirit stared at her with fury, "Just you wait till tonight. I'll have a serious talk with you." 。"

Shui Ling shrank her neck, she also knew that she had been rash just now

" 。The master must have some concerns, that's why he doesn't let her speak up. 。But she couldn't hold back her curiosity any longer, it was simply beyond the pale. 。The three servants quickly left the corridor and reached the palace gate. 。As for Mu Xu, who was secretly following them, he turned around when they reached here and swiftly slipped into the deep palace... At the Earl's Mansion, everyone had already returned from Suijin Beach. They were in high spirits because they had just received two official documents. 。Jiarren was assigned to Fengshan County, which was thousands of miles away. It was only a hundred miles from the border, so it could be said that it was right under the Lu family's nose. 。Brother Li was stationed in Qiming County. Although it was still three hundred miles from home, it was much closer than Fengshan County where his family lived. 。Li La Er patted his son and then looked at his nephew, his eyes full of pride. 。The Li family can finally be said to have stood firm. Their son and nephew both have steady jobs, and things are going well for the pastoral community. 。In ten years, the Li family's presence at court will surely be dazzling. 。Then he won't be alone fighting this battle. People can laugh at him for being a fraud, relying on his family to get his position, but his son and nephew aren't! "Good, good! From now on you two will also be officials. Always remember that you are children of farmers. Don't disappoint the expectations of the people, and make sure you are good officials!" "Yes, father" 。"Jia Ren quickly bowed in response, and Li Ge'er also followed suit, saying, "Second Uncle, I have remembered this." 。Everyone had smiles on their faces, but deep down, they were also a little nervous. 。Jia Ren has stopped, his temperament is stable, and he is not young anymore, but Li Ge'er is indeed quite tender. If it were an ordinary child, he would still be studying in the academy. 。But who would have thought this kid was so lucky, following his elder brother, he effortlessly passed the imperial examinations and became a scholar. 。 In a few days, he will be going out to work as an official. If he encounters those cunning gentry and wealthy households, how can he deal with them if they take advantage of Li Ge'er's youth and naiveté! Thinking this way, when he heard the news and came back specially, Li Laosan spoke up, “Second Brother, be sure to bring several reliable people for Li Ge'er.” 。We don't want anything good from Qingming County, at the very least we can't let the children be taken advantage of. 。“I think the same way,” Li Laoer immediately replied, “Let’s give some extra gifts to Brother Li for the old soldiers guarding our home.” 。A reliable young couple in the village, and a few other families also came along. 。As for finding a capable manager, it's best to write to Big Brother and ask him to make the arrangements. 。I'll go to Liu's house again and see Mr. Liu, asking him to help find a suitable tutor to handle official matters. That way, I can ensure Li Ge’er serves out his three-year term first. 。When the time comes, he will be experienced and it will be easier. 。" Wan'er also chimed in, "The court has given us a half-month holiday. During this time, I will work hard to prepare luggage for my husband and sixth brother." 。"

"Well done, you've worked hard." 。Li Laoli nodded, he was extremely satisfied with this virtuous daughter-in-law. 。Jia Yin, sitting among her brothers, quickly chimed in, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Old Hei and the others have walked through the southwest... " 。"They're in the village right now anyway, so why not have them escort big brother to his new post They can bring back some medicine and local products for me on their way." 。"in style but warm. The accompanying cotton shoes are the same.Everyone took a quick glance, and Mrs. Wen praised, "The needlewomen of Hou Mansion are truly skilled, their handiwork is excellent, with...
