There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Yan Zhigao tightly held the documents and official seal in his hands, his hands trembled a little because he was too excited, and it was only when he returned to the inn that his mind calmed down a little.

"Congratulations, sir!"

Master Xiao stood in front of the courtyard door, and when he saw Yan Zhigao, he gave a congratulations.

Yan Zhigao's mood has been tense outside. Now that he has returned to his own territory, he can no longer suppress his inner joy, and the corners of his mouth can't stop rising: "Master has received the news?"

Master Xiao smiled and nodded: "Brother Shou Nian still knows some people in the mansion, and sent someone to tell you early this morning that your lord might have to go up. "

Yan Zhigao couldn't hide the joy on his face, and said with a smile, "Go, go into the room and talk."

As soon as the two entered the main room, Yan Wenxiu a few children ran over.

Yan Wenxiu was older and knew that his father's promotion was a matter of family fate. As soon as he heard Yan Zhigao came back, he hurried over with his younger siblings and looked a little nervous.

Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai didn't think much about it, but they knew the benefits of promotion, so they both looked at Yan Zhigao and Master Xiao eagerly.

The most calm among the four is Daohua.

She is not a real child. After Xiao Yeyang gave her the jade pendant, and in the next few days, from the attentive and thoughtful attitude of the officials in the post station towards the cheap father, she had already guessed that her father would probably be promoted.

Seeing her father's overjoyed look now, the result is self-evident.

In the joy of appreciation, Yan Zhigao did not notice the expressions of the four little guys, but Master Xiao, who was beside him, took all the reactions of the four in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel dark again for the calm Daohua. Liked it.

Daohua saw several brothers staring at him without saying a word, so she asked Yan Zhigao with a smile because of her young age, "Father, have you been promoted?"

Yan Zhigao coughed reservedly, smiled and handed the document in question to Master Xiao beside him.

Master Xiao took over the document and read it at a glance and ten lines. He couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised: "Xingzhou Zhizhou! Your Excellency has been promoted three levels in a row?"

Yan Zhigao nodded: "To be honest, I was also surprised when I saw the appointment document!"

Master Xiao immediately said: "With your senior qualifications and political achievements over the years, it is enough to be promoted to the prefecture! Xingzhou belongs to Beidingfu, Beidingfu is among the fifteen palaces of Zhongzhou Province. The transportation is convenient, as long as adults pay attention to people's livelihood, they can still make political achievements."

At this moment, Master Xiao was excited.

When he was young, due to family reasons, he lost his qualifications for scientific examinations, and he was unable to enter the office for the rest of his life, and it was difficult for him to fulfill his ambitions.

It was not until the tenth year of Yongxing that he traveled to Zhongzhou Province and saw the county magistrate Yan who went to the fields to encourage farmers and mulberry. At that time, he was touched by the scene of eating and drinking with farmers regardless of his identity.

After that, he voluntarily joined the magistrate of Yan County and became his master.

It is a pity that the personnel affairs in the official circle are complicated. Yan County's magistrate was born in a poor family, and he has the loftiness of a literati in his bones.

Originally, he thought that the county magistrate Yan had no hope of turning over again, but he did not expect the turn of the tide, and the opportunity came like this.

When he was middle-aged, he no longer wanted to enter an official position. He just wanted to help Mr. Yan, who really did practical things for the people, and let the talents he had learned in his life be displayed proudly.

Xingzhou, although it can only be regarded as a lower state, it has jurisdiction over four counties.

On the side, Yan Wenxiu and the others were overjoyed when they heard that Yan Zhigao had been promoted.

Yan Wenkai: "Dad is Mr. Zhizhou, is that the same level as the previous Dong Zhizhou?"

No matter how introverted Yan Wenxiu was, he was still smiling: "Yes, one level."

Yan Wenkai smiled immediately: "Hmph, next time you see Dong Xiangrong, see how he looks!"

"Don't cause trouble!" Yan Wenxiu glared at Yan Wenkai, "We have reconciled with Dong Xiangrong, and Dong Zhizhou has been with Li Dao and Qianqian. When we meet in the future, don't mention this again."

Saying that, Yan Wenxiu also looked at Daohua and Yan Wentao.

Yan Zhigao and Master Xiao watched with satisfaction.

Master Xiao smiled and said, "The eldest son is becoming more and more like an elder brother!"

Yan Zhigao didn't say anything, but he agreed.

At this time, the little servant ran in and said that an official came to see him.

Yan Zhigao and Master Xiao quickly looked at each other.

"In Fucheng, the news spreads fast enough!"

Yan Zhigao turned around and instructed Yan Wenxiu to take a few of Daohua down, and then went out with Master Xiao.

For the next two or three days, the yard where Daohua and the others lived was not free. Every day officials came to visit Yan Zhigao, regardless of whether they knew each other before.

A few little ones were leaning on the window and watching Yan Zhigao and Master Xiao with great interest.

Daohua: "Brother, are we going back?"

Yan Wenxiu nodded: "Dad will take office for a period of time, and he has to go back to hand over. It should be just two days. Prepare yourself. Don't be too busy when you leave."

Daohua asked again: "By the way, brother, have you written to your mother to tell her father's promotion?"

Yan Wenxiu smiled and nodded: "I wrote the letter back the day Dad got the letter of appointment. Mother should have received the letter by now."

At the same time, Linyi County Government Office.

Mrs. Li took the letter with excitement and went to Mrs. Yan's Songhe Courtyard. The people in the second and third rooms received the news and hurriedly followed.

"Mother, rejoice! Master, he has been promoted to the prefecture of Xingzhou!"

Mrs. Yan was thinking about Daohua, when she heard this, she stood up with a 'bass': "Really?!"

Mrs. Li hurriedly handed over the letter written by Yan Wenxiu: "It's absolutely true, look, this is a letter from Wenxiu!"

"Brother really got promoted?"

As soon as Yan Zhiyuan entered the yard, he heard Mrs. Li's words, and immediately ran into the room in three steps, quickly approaching Mrs. Yan's side.

Mrs. Yan was holding the letter and reading it word by word. Since she didn't know many words, she read it very slowly.

Yan Zhiyuan was too slow and wanted to grab more letters: "Mother, give me the letter, and my son will read it to you."

Madam Yan glared at Er'er, but seeing that her daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter were all anxiously waiting, she threw the letter to Yan Zhiyuan.

Yan Zhiyuan first read it for himself to make sure that the eldest brother was really promoted, and then he read the letter to everyone with a face full of joy.

"Good, good, good!"

After listening to the letter, Mrs. Yan said several good words in a row, and her eyes were a little red: "Zhi Gao is a high-ranking official of the fifth rank, and I will have the face to see your father after I die."

Seeing that the old lady was crying with excitement, Mrs. Li hurried forward to comfort her.

Mrs Sun smiled and said, "Mother, where is this? In the future, the eldest brother's officials will definitely become bigger and bigger, and there are Wen Xiu and them. You should wait to be the old Fengjun!"

The old lady burst into tears: "If you can talk, then I can wait!"

Seeing that the old lady was well, Mrs. Li continued: "Master has a period of time in office, and he should be back in a few days. I think we should start to clean up now, so as not to run out of time later."

Yan Zhiyuan agreed with a face: "Sister-in-law said that Xingzhou is still some distance from our side."

After talking for a while, everyone came out of the old lady's yard, and then went back to the rooms to clean up.

Shuangxinyuan.

"Have you heard? What happened? Why is the old lady's yard so lively?" Concubine Lin asked her maid.

The maid shook her head: "I didn't dare to get too close. I only knew that the uncle wrote a letter and came back. It should be a good thing to see the second master and the second lady so happy."

Aunt Lin was a little dissatisfied that the maid didn't get the exact news, and was about to blame a few words when she saw her brother rushing into the yard.

"How did you come?"

Master Lin looked happy: "Sister, big joy, my brother-in-law has been promoted from the fifth grade Zhizhou, and jumped three levels in a row!"

Hearing this, Concubine Lin was startled first, then ecstatic: "Really, who did you listen to?"

Lin Shiye pressed the joy in his heart, and said excitedly: "The county government has spread all over the place now. You know, Zhu Jiaoyu's family has something to do with the government city. What he said here can't be wrong."
