Originally, the only things the villagers could think of regarding Qin Yunhe's becoming an official were to please him and ask him to intercede for them so that they could be exempted from fines.

It was not until the pillar was taken by Qin Yunhe that the others suddenly realized that this was possible.

So all of a sudden the villagers flocked to the city again, wanting to join Qin Yunhe and go to the provincial capital with him.

Qin Yunhe was again troubled by this.

Forget about Zhuzi. He has no other choice. He has no means of livelihood and a whole family is waiting for food. He can only do this to make a living.

There is really no need for other villagers.

"…Uncle Feng, it's not that I don't want to accept Brother Feng. You know, once you become a yamen runner, your descendants for three generations will not be able to take the imperial examinations to become officials. Zhuzi has no way to survive and has to take this path. Brother Feng really doesn't need to..."

People only saw that the pillar was taken by Qin Yunhe, and then he was directly advanced several taels of silver to him. They had no idea of ​​the bitterness of being a yamen runner.

Feng Lao San said, "Hey, I don't think my grandson is good at studying. It's better to let the eldest son follow you to make a living. It's better than digging for food in the fields."

"Even if your grandson can't study for the time being, what about your great-grandson? If they are good at studying, wouldn't you regret it too late? Your family still has several acres of land, and food and clothing are not a problem. Why go down this path?"

Others could ask their family members to block them, but Feng Laosan had been a neighbor for decades and he couldn't just refuse.

Qin Yunhe tried his best to persuade Feng Laosan to go back.

----

Unexpectedly, just as Qin Yunhe managed to hold the villagers back, someone over there got an inspiration.

"Master Qin, how about I become your staff member?"

Qin Yunhe looked at Li Chang who was serious in front of him and laughed: "Master Li San, how can I afford to have you as my staff?"

I don't know how Yu Ge'er told his family about the excitement of the past few days when he went back, but today his third uncle Li Chang came with him and came up with such a ridiculous idea.

"I don't want your salary. You will need to hire a lawyer there, right? If you can't find one, I can give you some advice and help you out. Sir, you've got the convenience, and I'll also show my ambitions. Sir, don't be polite to me. What's Mr. Li San? Just call me Zigao."

Qin Yunhe laughed again: "Master Li, you have also studied hard for several years. If you want to realize your ambitions, why don't you prepare for the imperial examination and become an official? What ambitions can you realize by being a staff member?"

Qin Yunhe had met this Third Master Li before when he was invited by Li Xiao. At that time, he felt that Li Chang was quite unorthodox and completely different from his elder and second brothers.

But I didn't expect it to come to this.

"Alas, I have now realized that I am not suitable for the imperial examination to enter the government.

But I still have ambitions. I now feel that being a teacher is a good way for me to show my talents. I don’t have to fight for the top spot, and I can still uphold justice and show my talents.”

Li Chang waved his fan with a look of longing, while Qin Yunhe shook his head and wanted only to smile bitterly.

"Master Qin, please don't laugh. If you don't believe me, take me to the office and see. I promise to make sure everything is done properly so that no one will dare to look down on you. If you really don't want me to be your aide when we get there, I'll come back and just treat it as a trip for fun."

"Does Uncle Li agree that you can be my staff member?"

Although his family had never forced Li Chang to pass the exam, since they had always asked him to take the exam, they must have had some expectations for him. How could they let him become someone else's staff member?

Li Chang closed his fan and rubbed his head, saying, "I am not a child. Do I need big brother's approval for this matter? Besides, it's not like I won't take the exam in the future. If I follow you, I can ask you for advice at any time. Maybe I can pass the exam after improving my knowledge."

Having said this, Li Chang felt that his idea was even more brilliant.

He struck the folding fan in his left palm with his hand and said to Yu Ge'er, "Just this sentence, remember it quickly, and remember to mention this when you help me convince your father."

Qin Yunhe was at a loss whether to laugh or cry again.

"Mr. Li San, you are really..."

Seeing that Qin Yunhe still had no intention of agreeing, Li Chang quickly winked at his nephew, asking him to speak for him.

Yu Ge'er understood what he meant.

"Sir, you should take your uncle with you. Your uncle said that it is easy for a new official to be bullied by his subordinates, especially since you are new to the official career. If you take your uncle with you, he will make sure you are not bullied."

The most Qin Yunhe knew about Yuger's uncle was what Yuger's uncle said. Every time Yuger's uncle threatened Yuger, Qin Yunhe was speechless.

Now that he saw him instigating Yuger in person, he was even more speechless about this uncle and nephew pair, and finally said what he had wanted to say for a long time.

"Don't listen to your Third Uncle. It's not as scary as he says. He's just trying to scare you."

"Hey, Lord Qin, don't hide these things from Changyu just because he is a child. Don't you really know that some of the yamen runners and subordinates are colluding to make things difficult for the new superior?"

Qin Yunhe had naturally heard of it, but he didn't want Yu Ge'er to worry about it.

"He will have to know it eventually. I'm just taking precautions. It's very likely that Yu Ge'er will have to face these things in the future. It won't be a bad thing for him to know it earlier."

This may be the most serious words Li Chang has said since he arrived.

Qin Yunhe had previously thought of Yuger as just a child, innocent and happy, and had never thought of it from this perspective.

After hearing what Li Chang said, he actually felt that it made some sense, so he nodded.

Seeing the gentleman nod, Yu Ge'er persuaded him even more vigorously: "Sir, then you really should bring Third Uncle with you.

My father often said that although my uncle was not serious about studying, he was very diligent in those unorthodox ways. If he became a hanger-on, there would be no other hangers-on. He would never let others bully you. "

Li Chang hugged his nephew and scolded him: "You little bastard, I asked you to help me persuade your husband. You are ruining your uncle's plan..."

The uncle and nephew stopped playing for a while and looked at Qin Yunhe again. They still did not agree to recruit him as their aide.

Li Chang had no choice but to say, "Alright. Since you don't agree, I won't be your staff anymore. In a few days, I plan to go to Xu Ning Mansion to study and visit some famous scholars there. It's okay for you to go with me, right?"

Where are the famous scholars in Xu Ning Mansion? The only person in Xu Ning Mansion is Qin Yunhe who is about to take up the post.

How did Qin Yun know that he still refused to give up?

But since Li Chang was traveling in a private capacity, he couldn't refuse to go with him, so he had to agree.

When Yu Ge'er heard that the master agreed to let his uncle go, he happily said, "Can you take me with you too?"

Li Chang: “Okay.”

Qin Yunhe: “No!”

What a joke! Taking Li Chang with him was outrageous enough, and now if the young master of the Li family is taken away, Li Xiaozhen will come to hold him accountable.
