The Group’s Favorite Cute Baby is One and a Half Years Old

Chapter 153: Promotion

 The inn has been open for three months. Although there are not many guests, the money has been made back.

Sister Ying originally wanted to open branches in various places.

 But her father said that they would be taking up positions elsewhere next year. As a young lady, it was impossible for her to come out and talk to other partners, so let her not think about it.

Sister Ying knew that her parents agreed to let her do a small business, but did not agree with her being in public, so she finally gave it up.

Anyway, the family is not short of money, and she is a young lady from the county magistrate's family. Being in the public eye will bring bad reputation to her parents, so she might as well forget it.

 Public opinion of ancient people still had a relatively large impact on officials.

Sister Ying couldn't let her father's official career be affected for her own happiness, so she just stayed at home to study piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

 In the coming year, the three-year term will be up.

Liang Jin received an official document. This time the court asked him to go to the water town of Jiangnan to become the magistrate of the state, which was considered a promotion.

Perhaps he was promoted from the seventh-rank county magistrate to the fifth-rank prefecture magistrate because of his contribution to the rectification of Qian's village.

Moreover, Jiangnan Water Town is a good place. Taking the children there this time will also allow them to have a good time.

 When the family had dinner together in the evening, Mrs. Liang was very happy when she heard that her son had been promoted.

“Son, you said you were promoted?”

Liang Jin nodded, "Yes, all the official documents are here."

Old Mrs. Liang clasped her hands together in joy, praying to heaven and earth.

 “Thanks to the blessings of my ancestors, my son has been promoted. It’s really amazing.”

She had never thought that Liang Jin would be promoted before, and she didn't have much ambition for him to be promoted. As long as Liang Jin lived a peaceful life, that would be enough.

 Not only was Mrs. Liang surprised, Mrs. Wu was also very happy for Liang Jin.

 Men, after all, are still ambitious and motivated.

Now that Liang was promoted to an official, as his wife, Mrs. Wu immediately went to get him wine.

Sister Ying also came over to congratulate Liang Jin.

“Dad, that’s right. I’ve been promoted after only two terms as magistrate. It’s really gratifying and congratulatory~”

Some county magistrates stay in a small place for their entire lives, let alone a three-year term, and they remain small magistrates their entire lives.

Liang Jin got this opportunity to change places to practice, and was promoted to the fifth rank of magistrate, which shows that he still has some luck.

Liang Jin didn’t expect it himself, and he was quite happy.

 Plus the children chirped to say congratulations to him, which made him smile from ear to ear.

 “Come, drink to your heart’s content tonight, and you won’t come home until you’re drunk.”

Old Mrs. Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she didn't stop him.

“Okay, you are running errands every day, so you have some free time today, so just have a few more drinks.”

　　Wu brought the wine over and had a drink with him.

Sister Ying and Brother Kang also went to get wine.

　　Wu glared at them, but rarely made an exception to let them sing.

 “Only one mouthful.”

Sister Ying smiled and said yes, and quickly took a sip.

 “His~ It’s so spicy~” But the aftertaste is very sweet and the taste is really good, “It tastes good!”

Mrs. Wu was afraid that she would be greedy, so she would not let her drink.

 Kang Ge'er hasn't drank yet, and the wine glass has been taken away.

 “Ah, mother, I haven’t drank yet.”

Mrs. Wu ruthlessly took the cup away and said, "You can drink it when you are fifteen."

 Kang Geer hummed and could only admit it, "Okay."

Liang Jin couldn’t help laughing, but he happily chatted with his family.

“I heard that Jiangnan is a good place with outstanding people and wealth. When the time comes, the children will have something to play with.”

Wu also heard about the outstanding people in Jiangnan and was very attracted to them. However, she also heard that there are many flower boats in the south of the Yangtze River, and the flower girls in them compete with each other for beauty, so she must keep an eye on Liang Jin when the time comes.

Liang Jin was ashamed and said coquettishly, "Don't underestimate me. I'm not the kind of person who wants to play."

 He is busy all day and night, so he has no energy to look for the flower girl.

Mrs. Wu didn't believe it and snorted, "You are very busy in Qianjiazhuang. Who knows what it is like over there in Jiangnan."

If it was a wealthy place over there, he probably wouldn't be so busy.

 When the time comes when there are more men, it won’t be a matter of a few minutes to invite him to drink wine or something.

Liang Jin was ashamed and explained, "No, there is a fourth-grade prefect above the prefecture. I used to assist the prefect, so I may be very busy."

 And the more prosperous the place, the more things may happen.

After hearing this, Mrs. Liang exclaimed, "Huh?" and said in surprise, "It turns out you were the one who worked for me in the past."

From this point of view, it is better to be a sesame official in a small place.

 At least the sesame official in a small place is the leader. When he goes to other people's places, he has all the top and fifth grades under his command.

Liang Jin was ashamed and said hurriedly, "It's not that bad. At least it's the fifth grade. I don't know how much bigger than Zhima Guan."

 Old Mrs. Liang still didn't believe it, but looked at Liang Jin with sympathy.

“Son, please don’t explain. When you go to Jiangnan, you will be working as a subordinate for others. It’s really **** you.”

 Liang Jin:…

It is obviously a happy thing, but why am I not so happy when my mother says this...

Sister Ying and Brother Kang laughed so hard that Mrs. Liang almost died from laughter.

But Mrs. Wu felt that what Mrs. Liang said was somewhat reasonable.

She told Liang Jin, "What mother said is not unreasonable. When you first arrived in Jiangnan, although you were promoted, there is still a prefect above you, so you may not want to listen to others' instructions."

Liang Jin felt the same when he saw her explanation.

 But what can be done?

“There is no way. When you first arrive in a strange place, you have to look at people’s faces. Let’s go out a few times and we’ll almost get used to it.”

Mr. Wu nodded, "That's right. Then get along well with them and don't offend them."

Sister Ying also said, "Dad, remember to act based on your looks. Don't get angry if you are not convinced. Hold it back and tell us later."

Liang Jin was taught by them word by word. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he also remembered it.

 He is not an impulsive person to begin with, and he will not confront others head-on.

—

The other end.

 Outside the suburbs of Beijing.

Jing Shirong rode a horse and walked side by side with Jing's father.

The father and son were chatting while walking, "Dad, won't you come with me when we go to Jiangnan this time?"

Jing's father shook his head, "No, your grandmother had a fever last time and it lasted for three days. I'd better take care of her at home. You can go to Jiangnan by yourself and visit your brother-in-law by the way. Ask him to come to the capital to see your grandmother. "

Jing Shirong nodded, "Okay, I will let my uncle return to Beijing when the time comes."

Six years ago, the emperor suddenly asked Jing's father to return to Beijing. Jing's father thought about it and realized that he could not refuse, so he took his whole family back to Beijing.

At that time, the new emperor asked him to bring the newly arrived number one scholar Tanhua and others.

 Lest those poor students know nothing.

Jing's father saw that the emperor was diligent and considered a good emperor, so he followed his instructions and went to bring in new people.

 Later, the emperor saw that his ability was still so good, so he wanted to reuse him.

 But he was not willing to give Jing's father a high-ranking official position. After all, Jing's father was not the one he brought out.

 So he thought of Jing Shirong.

The emperor felt that Jing Shirong was still young and could be his right-hand man through training, so he began to take Jing Shirong with him and send him to do things from time to time.

Jing Shirong handled matters in Qianjiazhuang quickly and accurately. The emperor felt that he had good abilities and began to reuse him.
