struggle in ancient times

The next day, when Deng saw the official messenger walking into their house with the red list, he burst into tears.

When she saw the name yesterday, she was still worried that it was the same name and surname. It was only then that she really put her heart back into her stomach.

"Old lady, what are you doing at the door? Come on, please come in, sir, the eldest daughter-in-law will bring you a bowl of tea." Liao Ming was the first to respond and warmly greeted the official, and secretly handed the small red envelope to the official.

The weight in the hands of Guanchai Diandian is rare and generous, and the smile on his face is a bit more: "This master, I don't know where Mr. Jinshi, Mr. Liao Tingyu and Mr. Liao are now?"

"Hurry up, my lord, please sit down, just wait a moment, he will come over soon." Liao Ming greeted.

Liao Tingyu came to the front hall, several people checked the name and household registration, said a few polite and flattering words, left his ID badge and new clothes, and left in a hurry.

As soon as Deng and the others left, they rushed out, very excited, and played with the brand new clothes in their hands: "Son, go in and change the clothes, and let Auntie have a look. The color is so good, it looks festive."

But this sentence touched everyone's heart, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Liao Tingyu.

"Okay, then I'll go in and have a try." Liao Tingyu couldn't see it when he saw the bright red color. It was so wide and big that it was so ugly that it was an eyesore.

But since they want to see it, it's not impossible to wear it, anyway, they have to wear it to go to court and parade in the street.

Huang Zilan also followed behind to help Liao Tingyu organize his clothes.

When Liao Tingyu came out, Mrs. Deng circled around him, saying how beautiful it was, how beautiful it was.

Liao Tingyu felt that Deng's filter was too heavy. He looked in the mirror, and the clothes he wore were not as good as his usual clothes, and it was not suitable for such a festive color.

When the postman who announced the good news the next day came to ask if there was anything to send back to his hometown, Liao Tingyu took out three letters, one to his father-in-law, one to the school, and one to the village head.

The postman went first to announce the good news to the people in his hometown, and the successful students would wait in Kyoto to see the Holy Master and attend a party, and then choose to stay in Beijing, be sent down or leave.

Originally, if Liao Tingyu had passed the Jinshi exam, if he was willing to stay in the capital for decades, he could also get a half-job in an official position.

If he threw it in, he might never come out again, and the water was too deep, so he couldn't swim well, so he might as well be a local emperor.

Liao Tingyu immediately applied for decentralization as an official.

The officials in charge of the review were not surprised at all. After each exam, many interested people would submit applications. Not everyone likes the prosperity of this capital.

Because there is no relationship, and there are a lot of applicants, the better places are all divided up by those with connections and money.

He waited here for two full months, and when the guards informed them, Liao Tingyu choked with joy.

Because Jinshi is one more than Juren, he is a sixth-rank county magistrate in Linxian County, which is close to the frontier, and has the power to kill and kill.

Although the frontier is very bitter, being a county magistrate is also very free.

The key is that he has the right to be the master of the house, and Liao Tingyu analyzed the current situation and estimated that there will be no major battles for decades.

As soon as Mrs. Deng heard that Liao Tingyu was assigned the county magistrate, no matter where he was, he was still a high-ranking official.

Very satisfied, her waist is straight now, and there are a few silk flowers on her head.

The clothes have also been bought into new ones, which is a good name, don't embarrass your son, she is now the county magistrate's mother, an old lady of the official family.

Liao Ming also watched her work. Now that things have settled down, Deng can finally show off how he felt when he was young.

But even in that case, what Deng can show off is when shopping for vegetables, Liao Tingyu looks at Deng's complacent look, and feels very guilty.

"Wait a little longer, you will be able to show off your power when you arrive at our place."

The officials gave Liao Tingyu three months to go to Lin County.

Originally, Liao Ming planned to go home to announce the happy news, but he was a little nervous about time.

Liao Ming thought for a long time and planned to go back to his hometown so as not to hinder the child.

Mrs. Deng definitely wouldn't do it, so Liao Ming didn't discuss it with Mrs. Deng.

During lunch, Liao Ming opened his eyes and said nonsense: "I discussed with your mother and decided to go back to my hometown. Your elder brother will also come with us."

When these words came out, Deng was stunned, why didn't she know!

Liao Shi didn't expect that Wen Xiu'er was still drawing a blueprint in her heart.

"Why, isn't it good for our family to go together?" Liao Tingyu said with a frown, completely unaware of the situation.

What Deng wanted to say was stopped by Liao Ming.

"Your aunt and I are getting old. After a few years, the fallen leaves will return to their roots! Now I am satisfied to come to the capital." Liao Ming said.

"What's old? My father is only 31 and 86. The fifth grandpa is [-] years old this year. To be honest, do you want to go to the border with me? After all, it is close to other countries, prone to war and poor, so..." Liao Tingyu was dejected say,

"It's all because I can't do it. After such a place is allocated, neither Father nor Mother wants to live with me."

These words can poke Deng's heart into pain!

She didn't want to be separated from her second son, this is her heart and soul!

She doesn't care about this husband now, she was sent back to her hometown without knowing anything.

"Ouch! My son! Don't say that, you are the greatest success in my life, and it's too late for my mother to be happy! If my mother doesn't go back, my mother will accompany you. Don't be such a bad old man." began to cry.

Liao Tingyu hurriedly wiped away Deng's tears: "Auntie, don't cry, why are you crying! You cry so hard that my heart hurts, I want to stay with Auntie and eat the meal made by Auntie."

Liao Ming didn't expect this development either: "Old lady, why are you both crying at this age?"

"Do you think I want to cry? I just can't control it. Why do you have to go back? Other people's county magistrates are also dragging their families. Why can't I follow? I am such a good son, okay? Easy to raise so big, I feel uncomfortable just leaving my side like this!" Deng shouted angrily.

Liao Ming also looked helpless, there was nothing he could do!

What did this family look like after they left?

Those who are officials here from outside the capital are all without parents and brothers.

But there are also people who take their families with them in remote places like theirs.

"I...forget it, second child!" Liao Ming sighed: "Our family went together, you have to pay more attention, I don't understand the twists and turns in the officialdom, your mother is a pungent one, the only thing I can do For those who help you, just take care of them, and the others will only cause you inconvenience."

Mrs. Deng also knew her temperament, she was not a rich old lady when wearing gold, she pursed her mouth and wiped her tears, feeling aggrieved, since her son was admitted as a scholar, she restrained herself a lot.

She also knew that she was useless, but she just wanted to go along, and felt happy to see her son every day.

"I know all of this. I believe in everyone. Our family has always been united. Daddy, please agree!" Liao Tingyu blinked and looked at Liao Ming pretending to be cute.

"Okay, but we have to go back. The time given to you by the officials is not long. You go first, and we will follow."

"What are you doing back home? Is everything at home ready?" Liao Tingyu was very surprised.

"I should have gone back to worship the ancestors. After all, you are the only person in my Liao family branch who has achieved such a great achievement in hundreds of years. Logically, you should go, but it is a matter of time. I will go and see for you." Liao Ming I think such a grand event should go.

"Father, in fact, we have nothing to do at this time, and there are those postmen reporting the news. If you come to the village, you will get the news, and you won't be able to catch up when you go back." Liao Tingyu also knew what Liao Ming was thinking. It was nothing more than saving face.

There are very few things to show off in this society.

Liao Ming also knew this was true, but he just wanted to go back and tell Lie Zong to tell the people in the village.

However, Liao Tingyu was right. When the officials went to announce the good news when they were admitted to Juren two months ago, they should have gotten the news, and the ancestral hall had already been opened a long time ago.

"Okay, let's pack up and go with the family. We will settle down in Lin County from now on." Liao Ming thought about it and had to give up the plan. No matter how important face is, it is not as important as his son.

Deng didn't cry anymore, she stood up and actively prepared things, especially putting the house up for sale.

Liao Shi was also taken aback today, Liao Ming said he would go back and not follow the second child, he thought there was no chance.

In terms of selfishness, he is still willing to follow the second child.

After all, he is just such a brother, and this brother is still thinking of him wholeheartedly.

My own child has grown up too. If he is taught by the elderly, the child will have a bright future.

As soon as he got home, he saw Wen Xiu'er packing up his things, "Is there a time to leave?"

"Aniang has already listed the house. My brother-in-law's reputation is very useful. I sold it in a while and made a few dozen taels. Aniang is so happy." Wen Xiuer put down the things in her hand and poured Liao Shi a glass of water. , "Take a break, I won't go out tomorrow, we agreed to stay for three days, and we will leave in three days."

Liao Shi took a sip, and said quietly, the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden no matter what: "Okay, the second child is capable and can handle Mommy, daddy seems to be sleeping in the woodshed today !"

"Don't think about it, you've thought about it too. Fortunately, my uncle is kind and willing to take us with you." Wen Xiu'er's voice became smaller and smaller, "I really hope that my uncle can arrange a good position for you when we get there. Running around all day."

Liao Shi didn't hear the last sentence: "Daughter-in-law, what are you talking about? I didn't hear clearly."

"It's nothing, you go to the kitchen to get some food, it's bad for your stomach if you're hungry for a long time." Wen Xiu'er didn't want to say it a second time, she didn't want to give her husband the impression that she was taking advantage of her uncle.

Her husband is very machismo, and the whole family is the same.

"Oh! Okay, take your time to clean up." Liao Shi saw that he couldn't ask, so he didn't ask, and went to the kitchen to look for food.
