Chapter 70 Xu Youping Was Beaten

"Uncle, the magistrate is at the gate, hurry up and greet him."

The servant looked delighted. Although the Bai family had accumulated countless wealth for so many years, few people from the government came to the door.

The class hierarchy of scholars, farmers, businessmen has always existed, even if people avoid mentioning it, officials and scholars rarely visit such lowly merchants' mansions in person, and they will be laughed at by their classmates.

Before Su Huan moved, Xu Youping, who was standing at the door, took big strides and ran out the door.

The formation at the door was huge. Although there were not many things, there were four or five carriages, which was huge.

A yamen in front was riding a brown horse, followed by four yamen, each riding a horse. The entire cavalry was more than 20 meters long.

The first two walking yachamen held copper gongs and beat them as they walked. Such a big battle caused a great commotion in Lin'an County.

"Who is this the number one scholar? I remember it's not time for the imperial examination yet."

"When the magistrate of the county was an official, it was this kind of battle. These people are all officials from above."

"Yes, yes, I will almost forget if you don't tell me."

"This should be the appointment of the county director."

Su Huan walked to Xu Youping's side and looked at the team not far away.

Many people in Lin'an came out of their houses to watch the fast-moving yamen police team on the street.

Bai Daqian also got the news, and hurried over from the back room, not fully dressed.

Walking to the gate, Bai Daqian immediately came over to exchange greetings with Su Huan.

"Su Huan accepts the order."

The Yacha who led the brown horse dismounted, holding an imperial decree, and speaking in a strange voice.

"Our family is from Beijing. This is the imperial decree of the emperor. Hurry up and kneel down." This is clearly a eunuch.

It was also the first time for Su Huan to see an eunuch. Unlike later film and television dramas, his words and deeds were very seductive. Except for his voice, he looked no different from an ordinary man on the surface.

The yamen who came from the prefect knelt down first, and the interesting Bai Daqian immediately knelt down, followed by a bunch of Baifu servants.

The crowd on the street who didn't know the truth also looked left and right, and then knelt down.

Xu Youping and Su Huan followed closely behind.

"Who is Su Huan?" the little eunuch asked.

"Me!" Su Huan raised his hand.

The little eunuch took a look, then walked in front of Su Huan in small steps. "The imperial edict says: Su Huan of Lin'an presented the form method. I read it and was very happy. The form method has made great contributions to the country and the people. I am specially awarded a reward of a thousand taels and a hundred pieces of brocade. Because I have no merit, I am not allowed to be an official. Tenochao At the time of Zhongxiucai, he was appointed as the head of Lin'an County, and I admire this."

After the little eunuch finished reading, he let out a sigh of relief. It was the first time he heard that someone was consecrated when he was a child.

In the 300 years since the establishment of the Daxing Dynasty, Su Huan is the first one. In addition, Su Huan is still young and has a great future in the future. He may be in the imperial class. It is right to make friends with Su Huan now.

The ancestors said that serving the master well should not offend the courtiers.

"The talented Su is going to be the chief registrar at a young age. His future prospects are limitless. Congratulations." The young eunuch placed the imperial edict in Su Huan's hand.

"My lord, don't say that, I don't even know if Su can be admitted as a scholar!"

"Hey! Our family has heard about Su's masterpieces of bamboo and stone in the palace!" The eunuch pointed at Su Huan: "Don't lie to us because you haven't learned enough."

Su Huan was speechless, this was the first time he was blocked from speaking.

Everyone else stood up and looked at Su Huan with envy.

Xu Youping staggered, almost fell when he stood up.

Ah?Will Su Huan be the next chief registrar of Lin'an County?An official of the ninth rank is greater than Dian Shi.

As for his father, he has been in the eighth grade for ten years, which is only one level higher than Su Huan. Su Huan still has decades to live.

A scholar, if you are a scholar, you will be an official directly.

Su Huan had never been admitted as a scholar before, no, this time he cannot be admitted as a scholar.

Xu Youping squeezed through the crowd and walked home minding his own business.

"My lord, Su Huan is my son-in-law. Today is a big day for the Bai family. I will be the host of someone Bai. How about going to Manfenglou for a few drinks together?"

The little eunuch always ignored merchants, but the word son-in-law was a bit interesting, which made the little eunuch look at Bai Daqian more.

Seeing that the little eunuch did not refuse, Bai Daqian immediately ordered his servants to make arrangements, and pulled Su Huan and the little eunuch to Manfenglou.

All the yamen who accompanied him were blessed, so they went with them.

Before the meal was finished, the news spread that Su Huan was admitted to be a scholar and was about to be appointed as the director.

This matter is different. It is a trivial matter that bypasses the Ministry of Officials, and the emperor personally appoints it.

"I'm bah! The yellow-mouthed boy, how can He De be able?" In the County Chancellor's Mansion, Mr. Dian Shi directly picked up a teacup and threw it on the ground. He didn't believe the news, so he went to the County Chancellor's Mansion to confirm it.

"What is the tabular method? Lao Tzu Han Chuang studied hard for more than ten years before he won the position of Canon History. What about him! Why, just rely on a bamboo and stone?"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry!" The county magistrate expressed comfort on the surface, but in fact, he was scolding Su Huan in his heart.

"Brother Xu, you are not me, so you can't understand this kind of feeling. A little boy jumped in front of you all of a sudden, and he is still a ninth grade. This will chill the hearts of many officials and talented people in the world."

"I understand! But this is the emperor's decision, and obviously it cannot be changed."

"Your Majesty, this is risking the disgrace of the world!" Master Dian Shi was very angry.

"I want to play!"

"Brother Liu, you don't have to do this. If you do this, you won't get anything good, and maybe you will even warn His Majesty."

"This doesn't work and that doesn't work. Is it possible that I just watched that little boy who is not as old as my son ride on my head as my superior?" Mr. Dian Shi's face was dark.

"Since it is decided that His Majesty's move is inappropriate, how about we raise up talents for the world's talents?"

"How did you get started?"

"If Su Huan fell ill or something happened, or something happened to prevent him from taking the scholar examination, then he will always be just a boy, and he will never be the master." The county magistrate tapped his fingertips on the table.

Lord Dian Shi looked at Xian Cheng with sharp eyes. "Brother Xu, did you have a plan in mind?"

……

The news that the county specially invited children to eat glutinous rice balls spread. Many talented people scoffed and accused the county magistrate of not being a good person and actually holding a small class in private without treating everyone equally.

When they were children, they didn't see the county magistrate deserting anyone or giving special orders.

After these words spread, Yang Xing, the magistrate of the county, became overwhelmed. In order to maintain a reputation of being fair and honest, he could only invite all talents in Lin'an to a banquet.

The time is set on November 27th, the winter solstice, and Bai Daqian will pay for it.

……

On November 26, the third year of Hongtai's reign in the Xing Dynasty, several new faces came in from the north gate of Lin'an City.
