After talking about the opening of the shop, Shen Li left with a blushing face.
Jiang Rong picked up a piece of writing paper and handed it to Chi Moyan:
"These are the positions chosen by the officials. Take a look. If you don't like them, they will be transferred again."
It's difficult for the Ministry of Civil Affairs to find a bunch of idle official positions with good grades, all of which are used to support the elderly.
In addition, there are lower-ranking external officials.
Chi Moyan's eyes swept over them one by one and landed on the last official name:
"The magistrate of Yunhu County."
Officials from other places are not as good as officials from Beijing. Those with lower rankings among Jinshi will be assigned to be local magistrates...
Moreover, Yunhu is a poor place in the Lingnan area. Only those who were demoted went there, no one took the initiative to become an official there.
The idle officials in front of them are all of higher rank and better paid than the magistrate of Yunhu County.
"I think it's good, too." Jiang Rong looked at him, not surprised that he would choose the county magistrate.
"It's just that the road to Lingnan is far away, and my mother is old. I can't bear to have my mother toss around with me, and I have a wife to work with!" Chi Moyan bowed.
He doesn't mind going to a remote rural area to be a county magistrate.
But he didn't want his mother to suffer with him.
"Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to take care of Ling Ci." Jiang Rong nodded.
After this matter was settled, Chi Moyan resigned.
Jade asked curiously, "Prince Concubine, all of the previous positions are better than magistrates, and I went to Lingnan to be a magistrate. Why did Mr. Chi choose the worst official position?"
"The official position is not about the level, but what you can do." Jiang Rong said.
Because the position of county magistrate allows him to do some practical things instead of just talking about empty duties.
……
Two days later.
Qianshan Cake opens.
Because the newly published "Qianqiu" specially published an article praising Qianshansu's cakes, many people got wind of it and bought them to try.
On the first day of its opening, Qianshan Cake was overcrowded and the whole city was in a rage.
Chi Moyan and Song Heng came to support each other, causing another sensation. Many ladies and daughters crowded in to see the top pick and the second pick, making Qianshansu even more lively.
Chi Moyan and Song Heng finally squeezed into the backyard and found peace.
Shen Li prepared a large cage early and handed it to Chi Moyan:
"I heard that the young master will go to Lingnan today to take up a post. Here are some snacks and jams I prepared. They can be kept for a long time. Please take the young master to eat on the way."
"Thank you. How much does this cost?" Chi Moyan took the cage and asked.
Shen Li lowered his eyes and said softly, "Young master, when you inscribe a plaque, it should be treated as retouching fees."
She wanted to say that Mr. Chi was kind enough to save her, so why did she need money? But she seemed to understand that in Chi Moyan's eyes, he had no friendship with her, and everything he did was only because of Sister Jiang.
He didn't need the Shen family's affection for her, and he didn't intend to have any favors with them.
"This is the Crown Princess's shop, as it should be." Chi Moyan said.
Shen Li said seriously: "But I think the master's handwriting is very good, so it is appropriate to give you a box of cakes."
Chi Moyan said no more and accepted the box: "Thank you!"
"Wow, there are so many people today. You are here, Song Heng. You are here to buy pastries too!" Xie Ruojiao walked in from the archway in the backyard.
She saw Song Heng at a glance, and a hint of shyness appeared on her cheeks.
Song Heng nodded slightly, holding three pastry gift boxes in his hands.
Xie Ruojiao immediately pointed to the three boxes of pastries and smiled at Shen Li:
"Shopkeeper, I'll buy three boxes. I want the same ones as him."
I want to eat the same pastries as Song Heng.
……
Beijing, dock.
Jiang Rong, Song Heng and others bid farewell to Chi Moyan once again.
"I didn't expect you to become the county magistrate, but after thinking about it, I want to go too." Song Heng looked at Chi Moyan.
Jingcheng Liubu is like a swamp.
The forces on all sides are intrigues and intrigues.
It is very difficult to do something for the people. Maybe as a magistrate, he can do more.
Chi Moyan patted his shoulder and said, "It's the same everywhere. See you tomorrow."
Indeed, as long as you have a firm belief, it doesn't matter where you are an official.
Song Heng looked at him, "Take care! See you tomorrow."
Chi Moyan got on the boat to Lingnan.
Jiang Rong sent him a secret guard. When traveling, safety is the most important thing.
……
Winter Hunting Day is a major festival of the Great Xia Dynasty. According to tradition, headed by the royal family, all major generals are required to participate.
The place for winter hunting is at Royal Royal Mountain.
The biggest excitement every year is to compare the number of prey of the major generals.
As a dandy, Xie Lingxi naturally never competed with them for ranking, but this year the Northern Palace sent Chen Guangzong to the end, so he joined in the fun.
Stay until nightfall.
Bonfires were lit everywhere and the game was roasted.
Chu Jue hunted a very rare fire fox today. The bright red fur was very beautiful.
"Sir, this fire fox skin is very precious. Do you want to dedicate it to His Majesty?" Dong'er asked tentatively.
After she was rescued by Chu Jue, Chu Jue found out her life experience and determined that she was just a poor peasant girl, so he gave her a sum of money and let her leave.
But Dong'er said that she was a weak woman, and even if Chu Jue gave her money, she would not be able to survive alone outside.
I just want to be a maid by his side.
Chu Jue knew that it was really difficult for a weak woman to live alone, so he kept her by his side and hired a maid.
"Several of his sons are vying to deliver prey. Why am I joining in the fun?" Chu Jue was reminded by her, his eyes fell on the freshly tanned fire fox skin, and he said:
"Give it to Jiang Rong. Such a fresh and beautiful color is just right for her!"
Dong'er's heart skipped a beat and she nodded, "Yes!"
Chu Jue said proudly, "When Jiang Rong sees this young man hunting such a rare fire fox, he will definitely admire my prowess! Hehe!"
Who should I give as a gift to the rare fire fox I hunted?
Of course it’s for my sister!
Show off your riding skills in front of your sister.
Dong'er walked out of the tent with the fire fox, then picked up an exquisite brocade box and put the rare fire fox skin in it, a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes.
Then he closed his eyes.
She was very grateful to Chu Jue for saving her, but she was just a pawn...
For the life of herself and her brother, she could only do this.
……
In front of the camp of Beiwang Mansion.
The bonfire was burning brightly.
Chen Guangzong and others roasted the prey they hunted during the day, and presented the treasures as follows:
"Here are pheasants, wild boars, and hares! We hunted them all! What do the Crown Prince, Crown Princess, and Second Young Lady want to eat? This subordinate's barbecue skills are also outstanding!"
Jiang Rong smiled lightly, "Let's have some chicken wings."
"Okay Crown Princess!" Chen Guangzong cut the chicken wings quickly and sprinkled them with fragrant seasonings.
Xie Ruojiao blinked, "Eh? Why aren't there roasted bear paws?"
The smile on Chen Guangzong's face froze. Why no bear paws? Of course it's because we don't have the ability to hunt bears.
At this moment, a group of eunuchs came over carrying several plates of barbecue and wine jars and said:
"Your Majesty will reward Beiwangfu with fine wine and barbecue."
Every year, the emperor would reward some important ministers with rare game and palace wine to show their honor.
Beiwangfu has always been involved.
