: Promote filial piety and integrity

"Before becoming the prefect of Daijun, Langjun needs to break away from his civilian status. Currently, there are three ways to obtain an official status, which are filial piety and integrity, and after honors and honors, he takes the exam to become a scholar." Si Qinmi continued to plan for Zhuang Xun.

"I won't consider it after being honored, but my husband is quite literary and well-read the classics. Can he take the exam?" Si Qinmi looked at Zhuang Xun's face and said.

"No, no, I don't have much talent!" Zhuang Xun shook his head like a wavy drum. He had read a few historical stories and even read some classics by various schools of thought, but he only remembered classic words and sentences.

"The only thing I can say is filial piety and honesty. Lang Jun's reputation is enough. There was a discussion in the market yesterday. Lang Jun values ​​​​love and loyalty. Compared with the treasonous Si Qin family, it is simply heaven and earth." Si Qin Mi said schemingly.

"For Xiaolian, a hundred taels of silver is enough." Si Qinmi thought for a while and said.

"So expensive?" Zhuang Xun was frightened.

"This is the price you pay if you have a bad reputation, Mr. Lang. It meets the standards of being a filial and honest person. If you don't have a good reputation, it will be several times more expensive." Si Qinmi's words made Zhuang Xun silent.

"Do you have to give money even if you are admitted to be a scholar?" Zhuang Xun said after holding back for a long time.

"That's right, but it's a lot less than "Xiaolian". It's about twenty taels. There may be fluctuations. That's why it's said that the husband married a concubine because of his wealth. Otherwise, I don't know how long it will take for my husband to handle the accounts like this.

." Si Qinmi said with a chuckle.

"..." It's a bit heartbreaking, but it's true.

"I'm not blaming Mr. Lang, I'm just..." Si Qinmi saw Zhuang Xun's silence and hurriedly apologized.

"You don't need to be so reserved. Since I have married you and we are one and the same, there is nothing wrong with saying this. If I accidentally say something wrong, I would like to ask my wife to forgive me. Besides, I am not angry either. I just feel that this is the case."

The Yu Dynasty is getting worse and worse." Zhuang Wen sighed.

"It's my concubine who has gone abroad. Indeed, the Yu Dynasty has been seriously ill. One by one, the princes, princes and ministers are like wild animals that can only get in and out. So we must hurry up and find a new home before this palace collapses." Si.

Qin Mi followed Zhuang Xun's words.

"Is Mr. Zhuang here?" There was a knock on the door, and it was the voice of the landlord's second son.

"What's wrong, Uncle Xu?" Zhuang Xun got down from the bed.

"Mr. Zhuang, your status as a Xiaolian has been reduced, and someone from the government has sent you the official document." The uncle outside the door couldn't suppress his excitement and said.

"Huh?" Zhuang Xun glanced at Siqin Mi, who shook his head.

Zhuang Xun was confused, but he stood up and walked out. Si Qinmi put away the money and followed him.

"The government officials are waiting outside the door. Congratulations, Mr. Zhuang." The usually aloof uncle was replaced by another person, and the enthusiastic Zhuang Xun was a little unable to react.

"Okay, I'll go take a look. Thank you, Uncle Xu." Zhuang Xun walked out of the alley, where a few officers were holding official documents.

"But Zhuang Xiaolian?" Seeing Zhuang Xun come out, the leading officer handed him over and said with awe in his eyes.

"Xia Zhuang Xun." Zhuang Xun bowed his hands in return.

"Congratulations to Zhuang Xiaolian, congratulations to Zhuang Xiaolian. After being recognized by Master Futai, you are recommended as one of the Xiaolians of our Yindu Mansion this year. This is a document recognized by the imperial court." The servant handed the document over, but Zhuang Xun slipped his hand away as he tried to take it.

.

At this time, Si Qinmi handed the money to Zhuang Xun.

Zhuang Xun immediately reacted and delivered the money: "Thank you very much for running away. Please be careful and invite some of you to have a cup of tea."

"How can I afford it? If Xiaolian is polite, my brothers won't bother me." After receiving the money, Zhuang Xun's attitude was so good that the servant smiled like a chrysanthemum blooming.

"Xiaolian, you must be an official." Mrs. Chen also walked out with the support of everyone.

"How can Xiaolian from Yindu Mansion be the county magistrate?" Other tenants and neighbors also commented.

"How can it be so easy? Otherwise, wouldn't all the county magistrates in the country be from Yindu?"

"But you have to have an official position."

"You don't understand. The Xiaolian of Yindu Prefecture is not the Xiaolian of Yincheng County. This is equivalent to the top three scholars."

"Mr. Zhuang, please go home first. This is a happy event and it's time to celebrate. Ling Jiang will prepare a table of delicious food and invite Mr. Zhuang to our house tonight." Mrs. Chen became more enthusiastic and told Uncle Xu.

"Thank you, Madam, for your kindness. You don't have to go to such trouble. Xun's cold has not recovered yet, so I don't dare to disturb you too much. I will definitely come and visit you when I recover." Zhuang Xun declined and took Siqin Mi with him to hide in his home.

A group of onlookers were left behind who were still having a lively discussion.

"Who is it? Why did you recommend me?" When he returned to Zhuangxun, he frowned. Does Yin Du have any noble people?

"Can't it be because of your loyalty, Mr. Lang?" Si Qinmi said and smiled.

"If this is true, it will save us a hundred taels of silver. What we are afraid of is the conspiracy behind the scenes, such as Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, so we have to be careful." Zhuang Xun first thought of a conspiracy and traveled by himself.

It is also the so-called emperor vein, which means that one is born with a constitution that is subject to conspiracy.

"It's nothing to mention Xiaolian, but I am afraid that I will recommend you, Mr. Lang, to serve as an official in Xihe County." Si Qinmi's eyebrows slowly tightened.

"Indeed, they are all beaten to pieces now, but it would be better to go and save some people." Zhuang Xun felt very pitiful when he saw the refugees in the past few days. It's not like he could be beaten even if his bones were beaten.

Forgive them, but he will not label a group of people, for example, the people of Xihe are all bad guys.

"The country of You is raging in Xihe, bandits are making a living, and people's livelihood is in ruins. I'm afraid that instead of saving the people, they will die." Si Qinmi said in an attack.

"I just can't figure out the situation right now. Who else but Duke Zhenguo would accuse me of being a filial and honest person for no reason." Zhuang Xun thought hard but couldn't figure it out.

"The soldiers will block it, the water will cover it with earth, listen to the wind, watch the trees stand still, wait for a few days to recuperate, and wait for the waves to subside to see what happens next. If we really want to recruit you, Lang Jun, to serve as an official in Xihe, then we will take it.

Gold and silver escape." Si Qinmi comforted Zhuang Xun and said.

"Perhaps it's really just some kind-hearted people who appreciate my loyalty." Zhuang Xun didn't believe what he said.

"Yeah, it's a good thing that Xiaolian was investigated. I'll cook a good meal for you to celebrate." Si Qinmi smiled, and his charming smile made people feel at ease.

"Madam, let me help you." Zhuang Xun followed.

"Go and have a rest. You have been busy all day, so you should take a rest." Si Qinmi pressed Zhuang Xun's shoulders and pinned him to the bed.

"You have a busy day too." Zhuang Xun shook his head.

"The gentleman is far away from the kitchen, and the husband has an official status now, how can he start cooking and lie down." Siqin Mi said with a serious face.

"What a gentleman means by staying away from the kitchen is that he cannot bear to see his death. It means cultivating benevolence. It does not mean that he cannot cook." Zhuang Xun retorted.

"You know so much, why don't you take the scholar examination?" Si Qinmi asked Zhuang Xun with a slight smile.

"I'm only half a bucket of water. How can I pass the exam to become a scholar? I can't bear to see my wife working so hard." Zhuang Xun stood up anyway.

"Mr. Sir, you know you are still cold, but you still go into the kitchen? You are not allowed to go in. I will make the decision inside." Si Qinmi was condescending. She was half a head taller than Zhuang Xun, and Zhuang Xun was shocked by her temperament.

"Okay." Zhuang Xun gave up.

"Don't cook too much food. It would be a pity to throw it away. Eating leftovers is not good for your health!" Zhuang Xun warned.

"I understand." Si Qinmi opened the door.

The clouds in the rainy weather became thinner, and the clouds revealed a touch of orange sunshine. After the rain, the sky cleared up.
