At the beginning, the little koi carp was grabbed by a wolf and became the favorite of the beasts.

In the hall.

Eunuch Liu and Lin Zhizhou were sitting in the hall, talking and laughing.

"Master Lin, I'm afraid you'll have to stay here for a long time this time, right?"

"It is appropriate to serve the imperial court no matter how long you stay." Lin Zhizhou bowed his hands and said towards the capital.

"What a man who serves the imperial court. Your Majesty is really wise and discerning. Mr. Lin is worthy of your trust." Eunuch Liu looked at him with a respectful look on his face.

"Eunuch Liu is so complimentary. Since I have received your majesty's gift, I can only help your majesty solve your problems!" Lin Zhizhou said politely.

Father Zheng and the others were sitting in the hall, listening to their conversation honestly without daring to get angry.

Although the person in front of me seems to be just a young eunuch, he is someone close to the emperor and cannot afford to offend him at all. It is better to be careful to be on the safe side.

Only then did Eunuch Liu notice their nervous looks and said with a smile: "Don't be formal. It's just a good idea for our family to come to read out the imperial edict today. We just want to see who is so lucky to discover gold mines."

He also has selfish motives for coming here. To put it bluntly, he just wants to get lucky.

When Father Zheng heard the word "gold mine", he realized the reason for this imperial edict.

He never expected that the emperor would reward them.

"The emperor's kindness is so great. The gold mine was discovered by the children of ordinary people. It is only natural to report it to the court. This reward is well deserved!"

Father Zheng said, looking flattered.

"It's too late for others to be surprised by the emperor's reward. Just smile happily!"

When Eunuch Liu saw his simple appearance, his face was filled with joy, and his eyebrows also rose.

He just likes to deal with honest people.

"Eunuch Liu has worked hard this time. He was already tired of traveling and traveling, and after announcing the decree with Magistrate Huang, he could return to Beijing. I would like to trouble you to make an extra trip," Lin Zhizhou said.

"You're welcome, Mr. Lin. Our family will be happy to make a few more trips for such a happy event."

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of questions came from the door:

"Does my father also have an imperial edict? What does the edict say?"

Everyone looked over and saw little heads lying on both sides of the door, secretly looking into the room.

The person who spoke out was Jin Jin. When he heard the mention of his father, he jumped out of excitement.

When Xiao Wu saw that he had been discovered, he thought to himself: Oops.

He looked at the gold blocking the door and was so angry that he wanted to give him a few kicks. It was really holding him back.

A few little heads retracted and sneaked away.

Jin Bao had no intention of leaving.

She walked up behind Huang Jin in a cat-like manner, then walked quietly to the side of Father Zheng, leaning against him as if watching the fun.

Father Zheng smiled and rubbed her head, picked her up and sat in his arms.

"Who is this?" Eunuch Liu looked at Jin and asked.

Lin Zhizhou was a little surprised to see Huang Jin here, but he still smiled and explained: "This is the son of County Magistrate Huang. I don't know why he came here."

It seems that Yu Yan is not the only one who likes this place.

"Magistrate Huang is so lucky. His son is so rich." Eunuch Liu praised him when he saw his chubby appearance.

Huang Jin glanced at him unhappily. Is this a compliment?

Seeing that they didn't answer his question, he took a few steps forward anxiously, and then asked, "You haven't answered me yet. Does my father also have an imperial edict?"

"Hahaha~ You are more anxious than your father. Of course your father has an imperial edict. He has been promoted to prefect. Are you happy?" Lin Zhizhou saw his anxious look and laughed.

Promoted to prefect?

Being promoted is a great joy. After hearing this, Father Zheng and others showed joy on their faces and couldn't help but feel happy for County Magistrate Huang.

No, promoted to prefect... prefect?

What about Lin Zhizhou?

Father Zheng no longer cared about anything and asked anxiously: "Zhizhou, aren't you the prefect? ​​Why..."

Did you do something wrong and lose your official position? The more he thought about it, the more worried he became.

Eunuch Liu chuckled lightly and said, "I'm afraid you are still kept in the dark! Our Lord Lin has been promoted to minister long ago."

Father Zheng was shocked, Shangshu? Isn't that bigger than the prefect, but they don't even know it.

He glanced at Lin Zhizhou with some complaints. If such a big happy event was not announced earlier, it would have made him worry in vain.

"Zhizhou actually hid it from us. I wonder why you were so busy the past few days."

Only now did Father Zheng realize that the treasury and grain were not the prefect's business at all.

Lin Zhizhou said apologetically: "I was also afraid that you would feel restrained when getting along with me after you found out, so I didn't say anything."

He didn't want to see the Zheng family exposed.

"Zhizhou is worrying too much. Since you call Qin Wan sister, then we are a family. Just say whatever you want. There is nothing to be afraid of." Father Zheng said sincerely.

Ever since she knew that he had a son and would no longer miss his wife, she had completely accepted him. Since they were a family, there was no need to be restrained.

Hearing what he said, Lin Zhizhou was so moved that his eyes turned red.

He didn't expect this cheap brother-in-law to be so open-minded, but he still couldn't pronounce the word brother-in-law, and Brother Zheng was more fluent.

Huang Jin saw that they were getting excited about chatting, but there was no trace of happiness on his face. He frowned, looked at Lin Zhizhou and asked, "Will you move out after you get promoted?"

Now, he was afraid of hearing the answer he didn't want to hear.

"Of course I have to move. It's a happy event to move to a bigger mansion. What? Don't you like it yet?" After Lin Zhizhou finished speaking, he asked.

"What's there to like? He's going to move out after he gets promoted. Who wants to be with him? I haven't had enough fun here yet!" Huang Jin looked distressed and complained in his tone.

"Besides, I still want to study at Longyan Academy. I don't want to move. He might as well not get promoted!"

Whenever he thought about moving away and not being able to stay here any longer, he would feel panicked.

What's the point of being promoted? There's no benefit at all, and he's not even willing to give it to him.

"Haha~ You kid, aren't you afraid that your father will hear you and spank you?"

Lin Zhizhou felt a little funny when he saw his depressed look. This great joy had turned into trouble for him.

"He can beat him as long as he lets me stay here!" Huang Jin patted his chest and said.

Anyway, he has too much flesh and thick skin to hit his bones and muscles, so long as it doesn't delay him from playing with Jin Bao.

Father Zheng shook his head with a smile and advised: "Golden Gold, you can't say these things in front of your father in the future, he will be sad when he hears it."

"He won't be sad. He wants to beat me every day, but it's a pity that he can't."

Huang Jin thought of how his father couldn't catch up with him, and raised his head with some pride.
