Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

  Chapter 248 The Servant Delivered to the Door

  My father wanted to send them to my grandmother's house and pick them up, which made Jiang Muyan very happy. Very rarely, Jiang Muyan begged in a low voice, "Can father wear official uniforms tomorrow?"

   Since she was a child, Jiang Muyan heard her grandmother, mother, and people outside mention her father, all saying that he achieved nothing, was idle, and depended on his father and brother for everything, etc. This made Jiang Muyan embarrassed and uncomfortable, and she had secretly complained about her father countless times. After her mother's death, her dissatisfaction with her father came to a head.

   Now that her father has won the jinshi by his own efforts, and took up the official position of the sixth grade, Jiang Muyan feels proud. She can't wait for people to know that her father is not a useless prodigal son, and wants to hear others praise her father for his ability.

   Jiang Erye shook his head, "It won't work this time. My father hasn't gone to Jingzhao Mansion to take office, and there will be opportunities in the future."

  Jiang Liu couldn't bear to see his sister's disappointed face, so he discussed with his father, "Daddy is going to take office now, and you can wear it tomorrow."

   There are five commanders of the Five Cities and Horse Divisions who have received the book this time. Jiang Erye does not want to be the first to take office, so people say that he can't wait to become an official. Moreover, after taking office, he will go to the yamen as an official, and the official body is not free. Jiang Erye wants to play happily for a few days before going. So, Jiang Erye discussed with his two daughters, "How about you two go back to the Wang's house in a few days? There are still things to do for my father, and I don't want to go to the yamen as an errand in the past few days."

   Jiang Liu looked at his father's serious appearance, and knew that what he was thinking was not serious business. Jiang Muyan bowed her body and saluted, "Why don't you wait until Brother Ling's ten-day break, then father will take us there?"

   Jiang Erye nodded in response, and Jiang Houer ran in, "Second Master, Master Zhou from Jingzhao Mansion is here."

   "Invite him to the study in the front yard, and order the kitchen to prepare lunch." Jiang Erye stood up, looked at the official uniform he couldn't wear with regret, and then went to the front yard to see Zhou Qiwen.

After meeting   , Zhou Qiwen congratulated Jiang Erye, Jiang Erye thanked him, and asked him to stay for dinner as a matter of course. After pushing the cup and changing the guest and host, Zhou Qiwen was able to clarify his intention, "Xicheng soldiers and horses have people and things are mixed. If the second master wants to straighten out the affairs of the soldiers and horses, I'm afraid it will take a lot of thought."

Jiang Erye got this serious job when he was nearly thirty years old. He really wanted to do it well, so he asked Zhou Qiwen humbly, "Big Brother Zhou has helped Sir Zhang handle yamen affairs in Jingzhao Mansion for many years, and he knows the way of it best, and he also asked Brother Zhou to teach him. Teach my little brother how to save time and effort to straighten things out."

   Zhou Qiwen bowed his body, raised his hands to support the wine glass that Jiang Erye was pouring for him, and offered advice, "There are people who can do things well, Erye should find a few capable officials to make up for the manpower of the army and Ma Si Yamen."

   Jiang Erye strongly agreed, "Little brother and Zhou eldest brother thought of going together, but at the moment, little brother has no one at hand, I wonder if you have a suitable candidate?"

Zhou Qiwen said a little embarrassedly, "Don't hide it from the second master, the villain wants to ask for an errand for my second brother. My second brother Zhou Qiwu was born in the jinshi. He used to be the governor of Jiuquan County. worry about making a living."

   Jiang Erye asked, "I don't know why brother was dismissed on Tuesday?"

   Zhou Qiwen sighed, "It's also his unlucky thing to say, Suzhou officialdom mixed into a pot of porridge from top to bottom, my second brother cherished his life and didn't want to obey, so he was pushed out and lost his official position..."

The dirty affairs of Suzhou officialdom Jiang Erye heard from Uncle Qiu long ago, and after listening to Zhou Qiwen's story about his second brother's experience, he said, "Tuesday brother, since he is a jinshi, let's work hard and find a place outside the state. It is not difficult for him to work in his errand, but it would be a shame to let him do things in his younger brother's yamen."

   His second brother was detained for the crime of deducting grain from the warehouse. With this crime, it would be extremely difficult for him to be promoted in the future. Only by working with a tolerant Shangguan like Jiang Erye can he have a good life.

Zhou Qiwen said sincerely, "Second Master, you are a promising gentleman. Working with you is a million times better than working in a prefecture or county where you are not familiar with your life. If the second master does not dislike it, the villain will take him tomorrow. Let me show you. You can help the villain come up with an idea whether he is suitable for working in the yamen or teaching in the academy."

   Zhou Qiwen helped him a few days ago, and Erye Jiang responded very readily, "Tomorrow noon, my younger brother will set up wine in Baiwei Lou, we will see you."

   Regardless of whether things were successful or not, Erye Jiang was willing to see Qiwu, just to give him enough face, Zhou Qiwen stood up and swept the floor.

   Erye Jiang sent Zhou Qiwen out of the house, and before he turned around to go in, he saw a scholar in a green shirt walking towards him quickly, "Master Jiang, please stay."

   Zhou Qiwen, who had not gone far, turned his head and saw that the scholar who was walking quickly had neat facial features and elegant actions, his brows furrowed. Someone came to grab a job with the second brother so soon, he had to go back and clean up the second brother neatly and send it to Jiang Erye as soon as possible.

   Although he didn't know this person, he looked quite pleasing to the eye. Erye Jiang stopped to see what he was doing to him.

   The scholar approached and bowed his hands in the scholar's salute, "Xiaosheng Hua Dunfang Qu Lunxue, to meet Mr. Jiang."

   The name "Mr. Jiang" really suits the second master Jiang. With a smile on his lips, Qu Lunxue asked Qu Lunxue, "What are you doing to the master?"

"My lord, Xiaosheng lives in Santiao Lane, Huadunfang. Last year, my mother was murdered by the Liu family's wicked daughter-in-law, Pan. Fortunately, the adults asked Lu Xueming's lawyer to take action. Only then did they find out the truth and avenge their mother. Please accept Xiaosheng's worship." After all, Qu Lunxue knelt down and saluted.

   Zhou Qiwen, who walked to the alley, turned around, and found that the white-faced boy was already kneeling in front of Jiang Erye, thinking that Jiang Erye had already accepted him, and his heart was even more anxious, so he quickened his pace and ran forward.

   It won't be until noon tomorrow, he will go home and dress up his second brother neatly and send it to Jiang's house!

Jiang Erye remembered who this Qu Lunxue was, raised his hand and asked Jiang Bao to help him up, "The law of the sky is clear, the retribution is not good. The Pan family has its own national law to clean up the evil. If you want to thank the adults who tried the case and Lu Xueming Bar."

"Your Excellency doesn't know anything, Xiaosheng worshipped under Lawyer Lu and studied with his mentor for more than a year. He is well versed in the law of my court, and is familiar with the way a lawyer does things. Xiaosheng is here to thank Master for his revenge for his mother. The second is Maosui self-recommendation. Xiaosheng wants to join the masters, and serve the adults in this life. If you have two hearts, the world will not tolerate it." After speaking, Qu Lunxue knelt on the ground again and raised his hand to swear.

   Jiang Erye showed a fan and smiled, just now he told Zhou Qiwen that he had no one to use, which was actually a polite remark. Having been in Kang'an City for so long, Erye Jiang really has a few good people available. Who would have thought that before he went looking for people, people who wanted to work under his door jumped over one by one.

   Those who can be accepted by Lu Xueming are not trash. Jiang Erye asked, "Since you have entered Lu Xueming's door, why don't you become a lawyer?"

   Qu Lun learned, "Since the death of his mother, what Xiaosheng hated most was the wicked who did evil. Only in the yamen can Xiaosheng be able to get rid of evil and complete his duties."

   Jiang Erye nodded, "You go back first, Master will think about it for a few days."

   Can this kid be used? Jiang Erye intends to hear what Lu Xueming means.
