Madam Liu, Madam Liu, Madam Li, and Madam Lin also widened their eyes and looked surprised.

They interrupted from time to time to confirm with Zhu Qi: "Really? Where is this rule?!"

Zhu Qi nodded honestly and said that it was like this. He was also surprised when he heard it for the first time.

But later I asked people to inquire about it, and after staying for a few more days, I found that there was indeed such a rule there.

"We can't understand what people in some places say, and I don't know what they say. If I hadn't found a local person to help translate, it would be inconvenient to even buy anything."

Although Zhu Qi has a good memory and is relatively talented in languages, it is impossible for him to master all languages ​​​​in just a few days wherever he goes.

Therefore, when he goes to a place where the language is similar, he can still learn a little bit and understand daily expressions; but if he goes to a place where the pronunciation and wording are completely different, he will be a little confused.

Fortunately, the places they went to were basically under the jurisdiction of the government. The closer the place was to the government, the more people spoke the official language.

It actually solves the problem of "language barrier".

Sometimes he would go with the caravan, and sometimes he would go with the escort agency. Every time he went to a place, he would appreciate the local customs and customs. Zhu Qi gained a lot of knowledge.

Listening to Zhu Qi's description was eye-opening for everyone.

Dabao and Erbao even had the idea of ​​going out and taking a look.

Of course, in front of so many people, they just looked at each other and did not bring it up. They planned to find out what grandma Ye Yuran meant in private.

We sat there for a while, thinking that Zhu Qi had just come back and the journey was hard. We didn't pester Zhu Qi for too long and let him go back to rest.

Zhu Qiyuan also wanted to talk to Ye Yuran privately, but Ye Yuran stopped him and told him to rest first and talk about it later.

Zhu Qi returned to the yard, which had been tidied up long ago.

Although he was not at home during this period, his family members also asked people to tidy up and make preparations when needed from time to time, as if he had never left.

When he woke up, it was already dark.

The whole family got together and had a reunion dinner.

After dinner, Zhu Qi left with Ye Yuran.

Seeing the mother and son leaving, Old Man Zhu felt a little uncomfortable.

He is obviously the head of the family, but if there is something going on at home, everyone is surrounding Ye Yuran. It's really...

Back in the courtyard, several maids looking at Old Man Zhu's expression knew that he was not happy today, so they hurriedly stepped forward to coax him.

They were making noises about taking in concubines from outside before, but now they have stopped for the time being, but they can still coax people as long as they can.

If they make them unhappy, they will be in trouble.

Therefore, during this period of time, Old Man Zhu was a little bit tightly entangled by several maids.

On the other side, in Ye Yuran's yard.

The maid served two cups of tea, and the mother and son sat facing the moon.

"Mom, do you know everything? Manqing has gone back."

"If she doesn't come back, you won't come back either."

"Didn't Mom tell me not to come back..." Zhu Qi felt a little embarrassed.

During the Chinese New Year, he wanted to come back, but Ye Yuran sent him a letter asking him to stay outside.

Zhu Qi had always been obedient, so when he heard what Ye Yuran said, he naturally stayed outside.

Ye Yuran glared at him: "I asked you to stay outside because I was afraid that if you came back, she would have to be outside alone? She is celebrating the Chinese New Year. If you leave her outside alone, what can you do?

rest assured?"

Zhu Qi scratched his head and giggled.

"Now that she has gone back, it means that the matter is almost over. As for you, you have to prepare what you should prepare." Ye Yuran said, "Next year, are you sure?"

Zhu Qi nodded and said confidently: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely get a good score, even if I am not the top scorer, I will be among the top."

"You can do whatever you can in the exam. The better your score, the brighter your face will be, and you will be able to relax in the future. Mom doesn't expect you to make much contribution. How can you honor your ancestors?"

That's all for outsiders. For Mom, nothing is more important than you. Mom hopes that you can be safe and happy in this life."

"Mom, I know. Don't worry. I'm not stupid. I won't pretend to be fat."

"It would be great if you knew."

…

Ye Yuran asked some details about their interactions on the road, and was slightly relieved after confirming that there was indeed no problem between Zhu Qi and Princess Yaoyue.

Things have come to this point, and Zhu Qi is about to end.

If nothing else happens, she will soon have a son who will be a horse-bearer.

well……

It is indeed a good thing to have the princess protecting her. She doesn't have to worry about anyone bullying Zhu Qi.

But at the same time, if Zhu Qi and Princess Yaoyue were not happy after their marriage, she, the mother-in-law, would not be able to interfere.

Ye Yuran didn't tell Zhu Qi about the messy matters in the royal family. He only asked him to go back and prepare for the exam. Princess Yaoyue had to worry about the rest.

For the princess, there will definitely be nothing materially lacking. The only thing Ye Yuran can do is to let Zhu Qi work hard mentally.

Being able to satisfy the other party's spiritual needs is also a victory.

When Princess Yaoyue was rushing to the capital day and night, a letter was also delivered to Zhujiacun.

Ye Yuran had expected it, so it was not surprising at all to receive the news of Zhu Qi's promotion.

On the contrary, the other members of the Zhu family were overjoyed when they heard that Zhu Qi had been promoted to a doctor in the household department and became a capital official.

"Oh my god?! Third brother, isn't this so awesome? He rose so fast?!" Zhu Wu's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it.

He knew that Zhu San was very powerful, but it was indeed a bit fast to jump from a seventh-level official to a fifth-level official in one jump.

When others were promoted, they were promoted from county magistrate to tongzhi, prefecture, and then to a local official such as a prefect. But Zhu San was different. He went directly from a local official to a capital official, and became a doctor in the household department.

.

It seems that a doctor in the household department is only a fifth-rank official, two levels lower than a fourth-rank magistrate, but is a capital official comparable to a local official?

No matter how powerful a local official is, he is still a local official and cannot hang around in front of the emperor.

If you don't make any achievements, maybe as time goes by, the emperor won't even remember who you are.

It's different for the officials in the capital. As long as the officials in the capital don't do too bad and wander around the capital every day, they might one day wander in front of the emperor and catch the emperor's eye.

Once you gain power, your career will be skyrocketing, your career will be skyrocketing, and your power will be overwhelming.

"My dear!" Ms. Liu, the second roommate, patted her chest, "I thought that no matter how powerful the third child was, he would still be a local official, a magistrate of the state, a co-president or something like that, but how could he go to Beijing in the blink of an eye?

Lao Wu, please tell us quickly, what is the difference between local officials and capital officials..."

Because Zhu San was an official, the Zhu family often inquired about his official career.

But no matter how much they inquired, the Zhu family never expected that Zhu San would be promoted so quickly, so Liu and others also set their sights on the position of Zhizhou and Tongzhi.
