Chapter 419: The younger brother-in-law left, and the older uncle came back.
Seeing Grandma Yan's urging, Mrs. Li also agreed. The old man was not reading at home, but reading, and he didn't know how to feel bored every day. He looked bored.
"I think it's okay. We came out. The old man was very bored at home. I asked someone to pick him up. Yan'er, hurry up and invite the Duke over and let them and the uncle have a few drinks. What's the point of being so bored every day?"
Mrs. Shun Guogong was naturally happy. It would be great to have everyone together and have a meal with Meimei.
……
The two people who were picked up were more straightforward and walked in together after more than half an hour.
Duke Shun entered the room and before he sat down in the front hall, he suddenly said: "If Madam doesn't invite me, I will invite my uncle over. Now it's just right, we can still have a meal."
Then he looked at the people around him and said, "Yong Ning, why don't you come over and have dinner together?"
"Forget it, they are newlyweds and they have someone to take care of them. Let them go about their business on their own so that I, an old woman, won't be in the way. I'm still waiting to have a grandchild soon."
Hearing Grandma Yan's reply, Li Yan smiled: "Auntie, you are very open-minded. What other families are thinking about how to set rules for their daughter-in-law? You are not in need of grandchildren."
"One code, one code. Can someone else's son be named in their name?"
Grandma Yan's words made everyone laugh.
However, these words were passed with a smile. After a few random words, everyone stretched their necks and looked at Duke Shun expectantly.
Grandma Yan and Yan Qinghua’s eyes were particularly intense, waiting for what he just said next.
Li Yan was furious when he saw someone cheating on him: "Don't talk about him, talk about business! Aunt Gang is still anxious! If you want to ask something, ask it quickly."
"You always have to say a few words when meeting, but Madam is in a hurry."
But after saying this, Duke Shun stopped joking. After all, the elderly and children were all here: "Master Zhou came over just now to ask me a question. He said that there is a vacancy for the county magistrate in Qingzhou County. I wonder if my uncle is willing to go. ?”
"Qingzhou? Jun Cheng? Aren't you going to be my eldest brother's deputy?"
After Li Yan finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Chu Chu in shock.
Even grandma and grandma have the same expression.
Chen Jichang, who originally wanted to respond immediately, hesitated for a moment and did not dare to answer. He stayed for a while before tentatively asking them: "Qingzhou County, okay?"
The county guard is a fifth-grade official position, and the county magistrate is the deputy of the county guard. From the sixth grade, Chen Jichang feels that it is already a good place for him.
Compared to being a county magistrate in a remote small county, he felt that being a county magistrate and assisting capable officials would have a higher starting point and make it easier to accumulate experience.
Of course, there are also many people who think that being a deputy means you will be suppressed by others, have no real power and no money to make, and some people are unwilling to go, but this is not his idea.
But why didn't everyone agree, and there was no smile on their faces. Instead, they looked at Chu Chu, who was irrelevant, with such strange expressions?
Sure enough, Duke Shun was also attracted by their gaze: "But what does Chu Chu have to say?"
Seeing that they were all surrounded by their own people, the children were eating, drinking and playing without paying any attention. Even Chu Chu was too patronizing to play and ignored them at all.
Seeing that no one said anything, Mrs. Li said: "Just now, Chuchu said that my uncle will be back soon after my sister-in-law goes away, but she just said that it will be another New Year."
"Chu Chu really said that?"
Li University Scholar had just heard about this. When his wife said this, he was filled with joy. He naturally understood it and looked at his uncle Shun Guogong.
Duke Shun Guo understood and then turned his attention to Chen Jichang: "Uncle, what do you mean? Keep waiting or go to Qingzhou?"
Although the county magistrate has no real power, the sixth-grade official position alone is beyond the reach of many people, and no one can get it.
Many people who have served as county magistrates for seven or eight years are still seventh-rank official officials. If they have no performance and no one to support them, the most they can do is to change places and still be seventh-rank official officials.
"Of course I'm satisfied to be able to go, but if it has any impact on my uncle, there's no harm in waiting."
Chen Jichang still didn't know why and couldn't tell what their expressions meant. He was also worried about whether they were related or there were some evasive explanations.
But he didn't expect to say that in fact, the relationship between them was not made public. It was not registered with the government, and there was no reason to avoid it.
"Then what are you waiting for? Auntie, hurry up and start dinner. How many drinks can we have? I will reply to Mr. Zhou tomorrow and go to Qingzhou."
As a result, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Academician Li also joked: "This is completely reversed. The official position of Tanhua Lang's seventh rank is half a rank higher than his."
Duke Shun also smiled and answered: "But I'm not worried about Yong Ning. With his knowledge, he will definitely be promoted after three years of editing. This matter cannot be rushed."
"Okay, okay, I'm so worried! I finally let it go. Speaking of which, tomorrow I have to shamelessly ask for someone from Brother Jue. I have to have someone follow me so I can rest assured."
Zimo smiled beside him and said, "Don't worry, old lady, there's no need to beg. Brother Jue already said it when he came back last time. If you need someone, go ahead and pick him."
Not only the younger brother-in-law should be chosen, but Erlang should also choose a book boy. When the uncle-in-law and aunt take all the servants away, the old lady will probably have to stay here to accompany Erlang, right? How could it be enough just to have Grandma Zhou? There will definitely need to be two more people. You can't just choose the maids your daughter-in-law will bring with you.
These are what Crown Prince Jue said. It is a waste of food to feed those people if they are not used. You can take your pick. These are his exact words. The Crown Prince has already thought about it for the old lady. "
"If he says so, let's go and pick a few tomorrow."
Grandma Yan is no longer polite. She has been to Qingshan Villa twice and knows that the people there are being trained batch by batch. She also knows that Brother Jue is not stingy. Since Brother Jue has thought of it, no matter how polite he is, Too outsider.
"Okay, let's go to Qingshan Villa tomorrow and ride a pony."
The children were happy again when they heard that they were going to pick someone. They had not heard anything just now, but when they heard that they were going to play, everyone's ears were very sharp.
Later, several of them also went to Qingshan Villa to ride pony, so naturally they wanted to try it again.
"Okay, let's have dinner. Tsinghua University, give the adults a bottle of good wine on the table and let them take a few sips. I also have to have a drink. I'm so worried! I finally let it go."
"Zimo! Tomorrow you also send a message to the old man and Grandma Chen, so that they can be happy in advance.
By the way, Qinghua, you and your uncle also have to go back to Qingliu County in person. Qingzhou County is so far away, and your mother-in-law has to go with her. Otherwise, how can she feel relieved when she is alone in Qingliu County? "
Yan Qinghua was happy himself, but naturally he also knew that his mother was crazy, so he quickly poured cold water on her: "My mother is happy and she won't be like this. Mr. Zhou will report to the court. There is still time for the appointment. It has to be finalized before then. When the time comes, we can still discuss whether we should go back or let my mother-in-law come up directly to join us."
"Yes, yes, don't be in a hurry. Aren't I happy? I'm thinking too hastily."
Grandma Yan was so happy that she called Li Yan and Mrs. Li and said in a low voice: "Although what Tsinghua said makes sense, I believe what Chu Chu said. It is absolutely a done deal and cannot be changed. No, I will still do it tomorrow." Ask Zimo to send the message to the old man first, and let him and his parents-in-law know, otherwise if time is tight, it will be too late for the parents-in-law to pack their things."
This was said like a whisper, but even my uncle and the others at the table next to him heard it, and they pretended not to hear it.
