"Liu Qi, you are here!" Zhang Hu happily opened the courtyard gate, welcomed Liu Qi in, and asked, "Why are you here at this time?"

"Don't take me to see the governor. The governor is very busy and has no time to say a few more words to me, so I will naturally come back." Liu Qi replied with a smile, and said to Zhang Hu's wife again: "I've seen my aunt."

"Well, okay, okay." Zhang Hu's wife said stutteringly. Her words just now seemed to curse Liu Qi, and the master heard them, feeling a little embarrassed. In order to avoid embarrassment, she didn't hear what Liu Qi was saying, and hurriedly said: "Liu Qi, you have walked such a long way like your uncle, you must be hungry, I'll get you a few cakes." As she said that, she was about to go to the kitchen.

"Aunt, I'm not busy." Liu Qi said, taking out a box from his arms. "The food here is filled with the snacks given to me by the governor. It is said that it was made by a famous dim sum chef in Chang'an, Xidu. I tried one piece and it was quite delicious. It's not time to eat, so use this pad first." He smiled and said to the three children: "You can try it too."

"Oh, there's something delicious to eat!" Zhang Hu's seven-year-old son Zhang Tianzuo immediately cheered happily.

"Thank you Brother Liu Shi, why don't you?" Zhang Hu said with a smile.

"Thank you, Brother Liu." Hearing his father's words, Tianzuo thanked him and reached out to ask Liu Qi for some snacks. Liu Qi opened the box and gave him a piece. Tianzuo took it and immediately tasted it, and ran back to the house happily.

Liu Qi and everyone walked into the hall, and after Zhang Hu sat down, he sat on the bed, his legs drooped, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, I have been kneeling in the Governor's Mansion, and my legs are numb, so I am so arrogant here." Although I had seats similar to those of later generations and horse stools, I still knelt on low utensils in the formal occasions.

"Sit as you like, sit as you like." Zhang Hu responded with a smile: "Sit as you want at home."

Liu Qi smiled and gave Zhang Hu's daughter Zhang Xing and eldest son Zhang Tianyou a snack each. Zhang Tianyou is already twelve years old and much more sensible than his younger brother. He also envies scholars, and at this time he imitates the scholar's appearance and thanks, "Thank you brother Shi." Seeing that the eldest brother did this, Xinger hurriedly followed suit: "Thank you brother Shi brother."

"Haha." Liu Qi laughed twice, and handed them a piece of snacks to each of them, asking them to eat them. He then put the remaining boxes in front of Zhang Hu and said to Zhang Hu and his wife: "Uncle Shi, aunt, you can try them too, don't just let the children eat them."

"Then let's try high-end products too." Zhang Hu picked up a piece of snack and ate it, and said, "Well, it's really high-end products, delicious, really delicious." He said to the wife, "God, you can eat it too."

"It's delicious, delicious." His wife's name is Shi Tianqiao. She picked up a piece of snack and tasted it. She also said repeatedly. After swallowing the snack, she couldn't wait to ask: "Liu Qi, you are so developed. Can you be received by the governor and get such good snacks?"

Just now, she wanted to ask in front of the yard, but she didn't seize the opportunity; now she had the opportunity, so she asked immediately.

"Liu Qi is very developed!" Zhang Hu rushed to say excitedly: "Because he was literate, he was first attracted by Secretary Cen Shen, the assistant of the governor, when he was resting in Suye Town, and wanted to help him get rid of his military status. Later, because the governor had an order, he failed to get rid of his military status because he heard that Liu Qi was literate, so he asked him to be a military assistant. Later, for some reason, he became a military service again. On the way back from Suye Town, he kept asking for trouble for him. He sat in the carriage and could not blow the wind and rain. "

"Join the military?" Shi Tianqiao immediately widened his eyes and looked at Liu Qi. She knew very well about the official positions of the Governor's Office of Luzhou. She participated in the military from the eighth rank. In the eyes of Gao Xianzhi and others, she was rewarded at will; but in the eyes of ordinary soldiers and the people, this was already an out of reach of the "big" official.

There are more than 100 judicial officials in the imperial court of the Governor's Office of Luzhou, and only 19 of them are of the same rank. The others are not of the same rank, not to mention the officials. From the eighth rank to the military, he is already considered the number one figure. Although there are Di Renjie, a person who has served as an official to a prime minister in the Tang Dynasty, he thought it is easy to get promoted. How many people can survive for a lifetime? Thank God for being promoted from an official to an official under the ninth rank. So how could the lady Zhang Hu not be surprised when she learned that Liu Qi was still a soldier before leaving and had become an official in the military after returning.

"... Let's go back and ask Tianyou and Tianzuo to ask them to study, and Xing'er also wants to study." Zhang Hu said.

Zhang Hu's words pulled his wife back from surprise. "What do you want them to read?" she said subconsciously.

"You are stupid," Zhang Hu said: "In the future, let Tianyou and Tianzuo enter the government. With Liu Qi here, it is not easy to arrange a minor official for them? Isn't it better than being a big-headed soldier?"

"Oh, oh." Shi Tianqiao agreed. In fact, she had already figured it out just now. Hearing Zhang Hu's words, she secretly glanced at Liu Qi, and saw that Liu Qi did not object, but smiled at her, and felt relieved. She said to Zhang Hu again: "What's the use of letting Xing'er study?"

"In the future, we will marry the children of a wealthy family." Zhang Hu said: "The children of a wealthy family have all studied, and girls who have never studied can't get married. Moreover, the wealthy family has so many accounts to keep, so it's not okay if they don't study. In the future, when Xing'er grows up, let Liu Qi find a good marriage for her."

'It's not Liu Qi's real sister, how could the wealthy families want to do it?' Shi Tianqiao thought. But she didn't say this.

Zhang Hu continued to chat with Liu Qi, and it was noon soon. Zhang Hu knew that Liu Qi had the habit of having lunch, so he ordered his wife to cook. Because today was a happy day, Shi Tianqiao killed the chicken he raised, stewed a pot of chicken soup, and then brought a few cold dishes to Zhang Hu and Liu Qi to have a chat while eating.

"Uncle Shi, I almost forgot something." Liu Qi suddenly said: "My nephew is here to congratulate Uncle Shi: Uncle Shi is going to be promoted to the team."

"What, I'm going to be promoted to the team?" Zhang Hu asked in surprise.

"Just just now, Don't take me to see the governor. After seeing him, I didn't let me go down for a while. Then I heard the governor tell us that our Luzhou originally had only four or five thousand soldiers. This time, more than 1,000 were killed, and more than 30% of them were needed. We must supplement immediately. Because there are also many officers who died, many of them can be promoted to the next level. Uncle Zhang, you have rich experience in fighting and will definitely be promoted to the ranks."

"This is great." Zhang Hu smiled and said, "It's a good thing to be promoted." He couldn't help but sing a few words, and then said, "I'll get the wine, let's have a good meal."

"No, Uncle Zhang, no." Liu Qi hurriedly said, "I have to go to the yamen in the afternoon, and the governor will arrange my errands, so I can't drink."

"This is really not something you can't drink." Zhang Hu was a little regretful, but was excited and asked, "In addition to being promoted to many people, how could you hear it?"

"This," Liu Qi was a little embarrassed. He had handled a lot of documents during this period and knew a lot of things, but at first, these were secrets that could not be said, and telling Zhang Hu was of no use for him except to increase the topic of talks. But it seemed that it was not good to tell Zhang Hu about anything.

Just as he was in a dilemma, he remembered something and said, "I also heard the governor and the Biega say that the battle in Talas was defeated because the people of Gelu escaped first and caused the formation to collapse. Therefore, the Jiedushi must send someone to send an envoy to Gelu to rebuke and punish them."

"It's time! I should kill these bastards!" Hearing that he wanted to punish one of the culprits for the failure of the Battle of Talas, Zhang Hu immediately said: "If it weren't for them, so many people wouldn't have been killed in battle!"

"Uncle Zhang, don't worry, the Jiedushi will not let them go easily." Liu Qi said. Gao Xianzhi will definitely not let go of the culprit who caused her resignation.

"It's time!" Zhang Hu shouted again.

After a while, he calmed down and said, "Because our Luzhou is closest to the Gelulu people, in previous years, the Protectorate Office sent someone to serve as the envoy of Gelulu, and our Luzhou would all send someone as the deputy envoy. I don't know who will be sent this year?"

"Hey, everyone is the same." Liu Qi said indifferently. It has nothing to do with him anyway.
