Mrs. Chen took a quick glance and hurriedly smiled, "Thank you, Lord County Magistrate. This is really a great happy event."

The county magistrate saw that although their atmosphere was weird just now, it had calmed down now, so he didn't ask any more questions, not interested in knowing what the family was thinking just now.

He came here to report good news, and to inform him of something.

At this moment, he continued, "I have another mission when I come here this time, but I want to convey something."

Old Mrs. Chen took the initiative and took the initiative, "I wonder if your parents have anything to convey?"

The county magistrate was very happy by what he said. He stroked his beard and then said with a smile, "Your Majesty heard that the four young masters in your mansion are from the same family, went to school together, and passed the Jinshi examination together. He was very surprised.

I am interested. Therefore, I have specially summoned everyone in your mansion. You should set off as soon as possible and enter the capital as soon as possible."

At this moment, the Chen family was completely confused.

"Parents, what were you talking about just now? I seem to have heard you wrong."

Upon seeing this, the county magistrate repeated, "Your Majesty is very interested in your family's affairs, so he wants you to go to Beijing to meet him."

"Can we go see the Emperor?"

Chen Zhang's subconscious words made the county magistrate even more happy, "Yes, your Majesty wants to know what kind of family can cultivate four such outstanding talents, so he specially summoned you."

"Oh, how did this happen?"

"It's an honor to be summoned by His Majesty. You'd better discuss it early and set off as soon as possible." The county magistrate persuaded again, feeling happy in his heart.

He had heard from his staff about the four brothers of the Chen family before, but because they had not even passed the boyhood exam, the county magistrate did not take them seriously.

I just thought that after they pass the exam, it would not be too late to win over them.

No matter what, he still occupies the title of county magistrate.

But I didn't expect that all four of them would suddenly become Jinshi and be promoted.

If we really talk about it in terms of rank, I'm afraid it would still be above him. What's more, officials in the capital have always been one level higher than officials sent to other places.

In this way, the county magistrate can be said to have taken a big advantage in terms of official connections, reputation with the emperor, and evaluation by the officials.

In any case, as long as he is still the county magistrate here, the four Chen brothers cannot really ignore him.

And the fact that he has produced four young geniuses and such a loving family under his rule are all due to his political achievements.

If you want to come to the emperor, you should remember his name.

Worst of all, the assessment given to him by the Ministry of Civil Affairs was definitely not bad.

Thinking of this, the county magistrate became even more patient with the Chen family. "If you need any help, you can come to me directly. I am not very talented, but I can still be of some help."

But Mrs. Chen said hesitantly, "I really have something to trouble the county magistrate."

The county magistrate did not expect that something would trouble him so soon, and he was stunned for a moment.

But after looking at the Chen family, I figured it wouldn't be a big deal, so I nodded again and said, "You say it."

Old Mrs. Chen said worriedly, "To be honest with the county magistrate, my family is still counting on the harvest at home. If all the family members go to the capital, I am afraid that the harvest at home will be poor."

"Moreover, the fourth couple have been looking for jobs in the county. If they really want to go to the capital, they will lose their jobs."

The county magistrate laughed and said, "With this job, if I knew he had really gone to the capital, I'm afraid I would be even more tempted to keep him. This is the honor of having seen the emperor."

"As for the things in the fields, you can leave them to others."

Mrs. Chen said awkwardly, "At this time, everyone is busy, and to be honest, I really don't feel reassured. After all, every family has its own way. We really don't want others to take care of my place."

So relieved.”

Hearing what she meant, the county magistrate really didn't want the whole family to go, so he stopped smiling, thought for a while, and then said, "If the whole family can't go, at least you two have to go. The eldest son and daughter-in-law of the family also have to go."

must go."

They are also the main representatives of a family, so these few people can basically represent the rest of the family.

When she heard that only these few people were going, Mrs. Chen felt relieved and said, "This is for sure. Parents, don't worry, we will definitely go."

After the county magistrate conveyed these words, he had another drink at Chen's house and then left.

After they left, Chen Wu said, "It seems that there are really people in the court who want to be officials. This time the Yamen officials didn't ask for anything and just left without even giving them any money."

, this is very rare.”

Mrs. Chen glanced at her and said, "Be careful of trouble coming from your mouth."

Chen Wu shut up, but she was also very happy. She also had a son here, and being able to avoid being bullied by the government servants was already a deep-rooted idea among farmers like them.

Now that we have decided to go to Beijing, we need to set off earlier, and it is not very safe along the way.

Fortunately, the county magistrate just said that because they were specially summoned by the emperor, everyone on the road will ensure their safety, so there is no need to worry about safety.

As for the cost, not many people go to their home, so the cost won’t be too expensive.

This is one of the reasons why Mrs. Chen doesn't want everyone to go. After all, they don't know what the children are like in Kyoto. It would be bad if they caused trouble to the children because they went there, too.

I thought I would give them the change I had saved at home this time.

On the other hand, it is a kind of awe for the emperor throughout history.

People say that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. There were already four children in their family surrounding the emperor. This time the emperor came to summon them again. Although they had to go, they were unwilling to have the whole family go together.

Otherwise, what if something happens?

In the end, the Chen family went together, including Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen, Chen Xiuzhong, Mrs. Chen Zhang, Chen Jinkai and Chen Xin.

Although Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen are older, the county magistrate has clearly stated that they want to go, so they cannot shirk it.

The same reason applies to Chen Xiuzhong and Chen Zhang.

As for Chen Xin, the family members thought that they could take her to the capital to see her. Don't they all say that it would be better for the future if a girl had more exposure? They could also see if Chen Xin could learn more from her brother.

As for Chen Jinkai, it was purely because Chen Xin wanted to go and he wanted to go too. He couldn't leave her, so he had no choice but to agree.

Fortunately, his parents also went there, so they were able to control him.

As for the other three children, they should just stay at home.

At this time, it is not easy to go out. How many children died on the road because they were not accustomed to the acclimatization, or even because of improper care.

If it weren't for the fact that Chen Xin was in particularly good health recently, they wouldn't be willing to let Chen Xin go.
