Chapter 144: To be an official, I have to be the chief official!

On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, Tang Cheng and his family walked around the street for a day, and then orchids and apricots arrived. At night, something like Chen Huagui happened, and they went to bed until very late. On the morning of the 28th, after finishing the divorce, Orchid and his wife were busy shopping and buying some New Year's goods. Tang Cheng accompanied Li Yingwan to direct the maids to hang lanterns and prepare firecrackers. The New Year's atmosphere was as heavy as the day after tomorrow, and the New Year was about to be celebrated the day after tomorrow.

As for the Zhang couple in the Tang Dynasty, they were entangled by five grandchildren, but they also enjoyed it.

While busy with these things, although Tang Cheng's academic work was temporarily stopped due to Master Yan's return home, he copied the copybooks according to Mr. Yan's instructions that day, and did not stop for a day.

On the morning of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Lanhua and Baocheng were about to go home. After all, Baocheng's parents were still waiting at home, so they could not stay here for the New Year.

I saw Lanhua's family go away, and the five children go to three of them. The yard is obviously much deserted.

Watching the carriage go far away, Tang Zhang sighed in despair, reached out to hold Xinghua's eldest daughter, who was over four years old. When she was about to take her grandson, Xiaogoudan ran to Tang Cheng happily, pulled his clothes and raised her face and shouted: "Uncle, uncle."

It's strange that most of these five children were a little afraid of Tang Cheng when they saw him, but this little dog Daner, perhaps because Tang Cheng hugged him yesterday, was very intimate with this uncle. If he was together these two days, he liked to pull the hem of Tang Cheng's robe when he was walking, just like a small tail falling down.

"Hey, my little nephew is much more beautiful today," Tang Cheng reached out and picked up Goudan, smiling and said, "The child is so beautiful, Goudan's name is really a bit out of tune, so he has to change it."

"You are a scholar who is a uncle and has a lot of knowledge. Just give him a good official title." Speaking of this, Zhang Shi Tang looked at Xinghua who was accompanying him but did not speak, lowered her head and sighed.

"Okay, I'll pay attention to this matter. I'll definitely give my nephew a good reputation." Tang Cheng really likes to be intimate with him. He smiled and reached out to pinch his face. Hearing Tang Zhang's sigh, Tang Cheng turned his head and said to Xinghua: "Second sister, Chen Huagui is simply not a thing. It's a good thing to live a happy life without him. You should be happy. Without your husband's family, don't you still have your parents and my younger brother?"

"It's New Year's Eve tomorrow. Let's go and have a good New Year's Day. After the Spring Festival, if you feel that living here is not relaxing, the next door is asking about selling the house, I will buy it. Sister, you can live alone and have a single family, so I will naturally have my expenses. The child is still young now. I will not talk about it. When I get older, I will do the job of hiring a teacher in school." At this point, Tang Cheng smiled slightly and said, "With him, Chen Huagui, your second sister, you only have a better life. Don't worry, don't worry. Whether it's parents and me, you will never let you and your children suffer any grievances."

Tang Cheng's words were homely, but they were heartwarming words. Tang Zhang's eyes were wet when he heard them. The apricot blossom was stunned for a while and then she burst into tears.

Tang Zhang and Li Yingwan were about to go up to persuade him, but Tang Cheng stopped him, "Let her second sister cry, she feels so cruel that she will feel more relaxed when she cries like this, which is also good for her body." At this point, Tang Cheng patted Li Yingwan's hand. "Yingwan, you tell me to ask two skilled sewing women on the street to come in. Buy more clothes for the second sister and two children. From now on, we will have to live a bright and happy life."

"Yeah," Li Yingwan agreed. At this moment, the little dog in Tang Cheng's arms said angrily, "Uncle, will you have some snacks to eat every day in the future?"

"Yes, eat openly." Tang Cheng laughed loudly when he heard this, and everyone laughed. The laughter diluted the last trace of sadness in the yard without a trace.

Back in the inner courtyard, Li Yingwan went to instruct the girl to wash her face, Xinghua, who had just cried, saw her walking away. Tang Shuan, who had never spoken, patted Tang Cheng on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Cheng, Xinghua'er's business, you are doing well."

Tang Cheng knew that Tang Shuan had a knot for Xinghua. After all, he decided to marry him at the beginning, so he smiled and said, "Dad, we are all family, why are you talking about this? Don't worry, I have something for my second sister. When he recovers for a few days, if he wants to remarry, I will definitely find him a responsible good brother-in-law and will never let her suffer again."

"Yeah", Tang Shuan nodded heavily, scratched his hands on his head and finally put them down, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

"You are the leader, don't worry." Tang Zhang brought his eldest granddaughter over, "It's Acheng, you... I heard that you gave Chen Huagui fifty taels?"

"Yeah, I gave it to fifty taels." Looking at the resentful look of Tang Zhang, Tang Cheng pinched the dog's face and smiled, "Mom, I don't give this money to Chen Huagui, but to my second sister."

"Apricot blossom?" Tang Zhang was a little confused, and Tang Shuan turned his face in surprise.

"Yes, it's the second sister! You guys don't know that she is too kind and too soft-hearted," Tang Cheng sighed, "If Chen Huagui hadn't said he wanted to sell her the night before yesterday, I'm afraid that it wouldn't be so smooth last morning. One night, the couple had a day-to-day favor, and the young couple had two children. Just think of this as a fifty-talented person to buy peace of mind for the second sister! If you beat him to death for Chen Huagui, you won't lose money." At this point, Tang Cheng smiled and said, "For the person Chen Huagui, the more money he has, the less he ended up. I bet that he must have never returned to Yunxi, and he will definitely be in the casino in this city, and he will be beaten."

"I deserve to beat you to death, just drag it to feed the dog," Tang Zhang scolded with relief.

Seeing Tang Cheng giving Chen Huagui fifty coins, and after that cry, Xinghuaer, who was tortured by life, completely let go of her knot and slowly smiled on her face. The Tang family celebrated the New Year's Eve this New Year, just like the smile on her face, not ostentatious and hot, but it was pleasing to the eye.

This is the first time that so many people have celebrated the New Year together since time traveling. In addition, there are two three or four-year-old children making a fuss. Tang Cheng’s New Year is very festive. What’s funny is that somehow Gou Dan’er became his tail, and he followed him there. He was chasing him with close relatives than Tang Zhang.

After cleaning the puppy egg and putting on new clothes, it looked even more and more beautiful. The child was two or three years old and was the cutest time. Every move and every word often made people gimmick. Tang Cheng really liked this nephew, coaxed him to play some games from later generations every day, and felt completely relaxed. The indelible childlike fun of those born in the 1980s was also vividly expressed in the process.

Seeing Tang Cheng rolling on the couch like a child and having fun with Goudan'er, Tang Zhang, Li Yingwan and others were really stunned at first, and then they had a different mind in their hearts.

Not to mention that her mother-in-law is anxious, Li Yingwan herself is anxious too! She is really twenty-nine years old. If someone else reaches her age, the child will be over teenagers. How could she not want to be a mother? Especially Tang Cheng likes children so much. To be honest, every time she looks at the pink dogdan, her eyes are really hotter than anyone else.

As a result, the Gao family in the kitchen had another new job every day, and they burned thirty red beans while cooking dinner. The prayer for a child was chanted by her and the sun and the moon were gone. In this way, Tang Cheng really had a spring night every night, and he worked hard to create a great cause for mankind.

After New Year's Eve, the family went to the temple outside the city together on the morning of the first day of the first day of the year. Tang Cheng didn't believe this and just thought it was to go out for some breath. However, Zhang Tang was devout. He bowed to the Buddha and kowtowed to the Bodhisattva. She talked about all the people of all sizes in the house. Li Yingwan and Lancao were the main players to give up Guanyin.

It was time to leave the New Year ceremony when it was the second day of the lunar month. When Tang Cheng and Li Yingwan were tidying up, they went to Sun Envoy's house.

When Tang Cheng was promoted to the magistrate's office that day, Li Yingwan had visited the governor's office and met Mrs. Sun. At this time, the two of them went to the inner courtyard to talk, while Tang Cheng was transferred to the study of Sun Envoy.

After offering tea, Sun Envoy asked leisurely with his teacup in his hand: "Tang Cheng, have you imagined what you said before the New Year?"

Tang Cheng was stunned and realized that what Sun Envoy said was that he should find a way to leave. After taking a sip of tea, he smiled and said, "I have told my parents about this in the past year. But they don't want to leave."

"Oh!" Sun Jun did not expect that after he had already said so clearly last time, Tang Cheng was still unwilling to leave. After carefully examining Tang Cheng, he smiled and said in a faint voice, "After the Shangyuan Festival, I should set off to serve as the governor of Chunzhou, Lingnan Road. Well, this is the exact news! There are more than ten days left before Shangyuan. If you are willing to go to Chunzhou with me, I promise you a record officer in half a year."

Lingnan was not well developed during the Tang Dynasty, but was a famous remote place. Although they were both governors, they were actually transferred from the inland Shandong East Road to Lingnan. However, considering the relationship between Sun Envoy and Lin Baiyu, this level of exile was considered very light.

It seems that the envoy Sun finally understood Shangguan Zhaorong's path. With Sun's method, there is another path. It will be a matter of time before transferring and promotion within at least two years. Therefore, after hearing this, Tang Cheng's face was gone, he stood up and bowed and said: Congratulations to the Lord for his small defeat, Chengxiang."

"This matter is also very much dependent on the power of Lord Zheng, the Yangzhou Maritime Mansion Commander. In the final analysis, Sun Envoy stood up and bowed to Tang Cheng, "How is it? What do you think about my suggestion just now?"

"Thank you for your youthful eyes," Tang Cheng's thanks was indeed sincere, "It's just that my parents are here and I'm not traveling far away, so my subordinates still want to stay in Jinzhou for a while."

"It's not that your parents are here that you can't travel far away, but that you must have a way to travel, and you should not be too rigid in life." Seeing that Tang Cheng was not moved, Sun Jun smiled and stopped persuading, "Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions! Since you insist on staying in Jinzhou, you need to remember one thing that you should be careful in the affairs of the state yamen in the future. If things have reached the point where you must do it, come and find me. No matter where you are, the position of the yamen will still be."

"Yeah", Tang Cheng nodded.

"I have also heard of the entanglement between you and Ma Baek at the literary meeting that day." After taking a sip of tea, Sun Jun put the teacup aside and said to Tang Cheng seriously: "From the talent you showed in the literary meeting, the imperial examination is really great. Since you can't do much in the state yamen in the future, you might as well turn your mind to this. Tang Cheng, you need to remember that without fame, you can't be the chief official, and you can't be the chief official. Then this official is meaningless."

This is the first time Tang Cheng saw him say so bluntly since he met Sun Envoy.

"It's better to be a chicken head than a queen of the cow." Facing Tang Cheng's gaze, Sun Envoy showed a very Jiangnan smile, "Whether it is to show his ambitions or just make a living by official positions, you have to be pinched by others at all times. It feels not good to be pinned by others! You can commit yourself to the state government office at this time, listen more, and see more experiences are good, but you must not be addicted to it. Just go through the official business, spend more time on the imperial examinations, and then ask Lord Zheng to go to the Ministry of Personnel to act as the county magistrate. Even if it is a small county in remote areas, it's okay. Only the one who is in charge is the right way."

These words are indeed blunt, but they are the most real truth. At this time, the local yamen was not as good as the future generations that had traveled through time. The government had checks and balanced each other. The only one chief official in the Tang Dynasty was responsible for all things. The power was extremely concentrated, which was also the fundamental reason why Sun Envoy could suppress Lao Ma tightly.

"Yeah", Tang Cheng nodded, but his subordinates never abandoned their studies." With Sun Envoy's speaking style, it was not easy to say such straightforward words. Tang Cheng couldn't help feeling a little excited when he heard this. With these words, it would be a waste of him to follow Sun Envoy.

After talking about this, Tang Chengyin took the opportunity to ask about the new envoy's local affairs.

"The new envoy is named Yao Rongfu, and it is said that he is an old official released from the imperial imperial city." Sun envoy brought a tea cup to Tang Cheng and refilled the water. "I also got vague news. I know so much. As for the temperament and preferences of this Lord Yao, it is unknown."

"Yao Rongfu", Tang Cheng whispered the name several times.

Seeing Tang Cheng like this, Sun Jun smiled, "Although the news I heard did not mention his temperament, since he was an old official who had been living in the imperial city for most of his life, I think it's always good."

"Oh. Please give me some advice."

"Slippery! It's hard to say anything else, but this is definitely not something that can't be escaped. The temple supervisors of various imperial cities are a common problem." Sun Envoy looked at Tang Cheng with a smile and shook his head, "It's hard to serve such a Shangguan!"

When the two of them said this, a servant came to report and said that the meal was ready.

After lunch at the governor's house, the two of them said goodbye. Along the way, Li Yingwan saw Tang Cheng lowering his head and thinking about something, but because he didn't say anything to bother him. After walking for a while, he couldn't help it, "Acheng, what are you thinking?"

"Be an official, be the chief official!" This sentence was originally very normal, but Tang Cheng said fiercely at this time, "If you don't be the chief official, there will be no one in this yamen to be a clumsy."

Since last year's time travel, until last month, Tang Cheng has been running around for survival, farming, studying in villages, studying in county schools, studying in county schools, and then to the prefecture schools. The starting point of his journey was to have a basic idea - to have a full meal, and it was not until last month that he was truly lifted out of poverty.

In the past few days, on New Year's Eve, the family gathered together in harmony and reunion, looking at the house, thinking about their wealth, and the position of the magistrate in the state yamen. Not only did the family be very satisfied with Tang Cheng's current situation, but even Tang Cheng himself thought it was good. He had been working hard for more than a year and sweating, and now he can take care of his family and have a good meal. Although he didn't say anything, he actually felt a little satisfied.

Because of this, Tang Chengru didn't think too much about his own planning, so he just lowered his head to pull the cart, but forgot to look up at the road.

Today, Sun Envoy Sun woke him up with a straightforward words. Yes, he could not satisfy the status quo and was addicted to the officials who were out of the way.

Even if he wanted to, even if he felt that an ordinary life was good like other colleagues in the state yamen, it would not be possible now. With Lao Ma here, he was destined to be unable to live such an ordinary and leisurely life at least now.

Lao Ma has nothing else, but he is a senior official. As long as Tang Cheng is still in the Jinzhou Yamen, he will be pinched by him. It feels really unhappy to be pinched by someone, and it is very fucking unhappy.

This is from the moment, in the long run, since Tang Cheng went to Yangzhou last time, he has always had an idea, or more literary way, he has an ideal - if I give me one county and one state... how can I have one county and one state?

Whether you never want to be pinned down by others, you and your family can live a more secure and safer life in small ways, or from the big idea, the only way out is to be an official, an official within the wandering, and you must be the chief official within the wandering!

Only in this way can one no longer be like this now, and any person can hold him back; only in this way can ideals be realized.

If eating a full meal was Tang Cheng's first goal after time traveling, this goal has been achieved now; after Tang Cheng was confused for several months and even felt a little satisfied in his heart. After Sun Envoy's straightforward words, Tang Cheng woke up and set up a new goal.

Wake up, yes, it means wake up. In fact, Tang Cheng has always had this idea, such as his homework, and his continuous learning and reflection in the yamen, which are all intuitive manifestations of this idea. But everything before was unclear and could not be considered too positive.

And today, the hazy thoughts that once were finally revealed very clearly.

To be an official, whether it is for the sake of his family or his own ideals, he must be the chief official!

"Be an official, be the chief official!" The sentence Tang Cheng said fiercely was like a declaration, proclaiming the establishment of his new goal in life, and also proclaiming that he would sweat more for this goal! While spitting out this sentence, Tang Cheng suddenly seemed to feel a sense of strength coming out of thin air - perhaps, this is the power of desire!
