"Move out from here, is there my own place?" Xie Huaijin was not happy after hearing Ji Xiaotang's words, "I don't want my own place. () Xiaotang, when will you pick me up? I want to live with you."

Ji Xiaotang sighed in his heart and slowly raised his hand.

Xie Huaijin noticed Ji Xiaotang's intention and lowered his head obediently.

Ji Xiaotang's hand touched Xie Huaijin's head, and his heart was slightly sad. Although Xie Huaijin's mind was at the age of **, her body was growing. Her figure was definitely taller among girls of the same age, but Xie Huaijin was still one head taller than her.

If she didn't raise her feet, she could no longer touch Xie Huaijin's head smoothly.

Fortunately, Xie Huaijin is very well-behaved.

Under Ji Xiaotang's hands, Xie Huaijin was like a white cat in his arms, and there was a comfortable purr in his throat.

"When Brother Huaijin has his own mansion, he can invite me and my sister to visit. It will not be as difficult as it is now." Ji Xiaotang said softly.

"Really?" Xie Huaijin's big eyes shining.

"Of course it's true." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

Although it will still be very inconvenient to see Xie Huaijin at that time, Ji Xiaotang believes that she can always find a way to make arrangements.

Some things must be done even if they don’t.

"Then, that's OK." Although this is worse than being taken home by Xiaotang, it's much better than now.

Time passed quickly, and Ji Xiaotang knew that he could not stay here for a long time, so he persuaded Xie Huaijin a few more words, instructed the wintersweet, and then came out of the house.

Ji Xiaoyun came out with Ji Xiaotang, and her eyes were red again.

When he got on the carriage back to Xinhuatang, Ji Xiaoyun's eyes were still red.

"Sister, please make up your makeup so that my grandmother and mother should worry again when they see it." Ji Xiaotang couldn't stand it, so he went to Ji Xiaoyun and said.

"Okay." Ji Xiaoyun was very obedient. "Xiaotang, when will Huaijin move out?"

"It should be soon." Ji Xiaotang replied, looking at Ji Xiaoyun, with a vague concern in his heart.

...

The imperial edict really arrived soon.

The first thing Xinhuatang received was the order of Mr. Ji Er. He was indeed the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites and the fourth rank. Mr. Ji Er was knowledgeable, elegant and upright, and was just right in the Ministry of Rites.

Master Ji and others had known the news, and they were all expected to be happy.

The second imperial edict followed.

Ji Xiaotang was named the county lord, with his name Anle, and his fief was in Qingyuan. With the imperial edict, the palace also gave him a green gold crown, a pair of jade Ruyi, a pair of white jade walls, two hanging coral beads, two hanging pearls, four pagoda satin, the remaining 50 taels of gold and one thousand taels of silver.

Ji Xiaotang is still young and is not given to the mansion.

The imperial edict was issued, and the Xinhua Hall was decorated with lights and colorful colors. Everyone gathered at Xuanhua Hall to congratulate Ji Xiaotang.

"What a great official is the county lord?" Old Mrs. Ji asked Master Ji Er. ()

Master Ji Er could only explain in detail to Mrs. Ji that only the daughter of the prince's second son could be granted the title of county lord in Qin Dynasty. Only under the princess and princesses, they are considered second-rank by grade. Master Ji and Master Ji are now both fourth-rank, and Ji Xiaotang is the highest-ranking in the Ji family.

Ji Xiaotang was naturally not a royal relative, but was awarded this for his achievements and the love of the people. The imperial edict praised Ji Xiaotang's achievements in the Qingyuan disaster relief and the praise he received among the people.

"It turns out that women can be officials! And they are such a noble official!" Old Mrs. Ji was sincerely happy for Ji Xiaotang, "It should be relieved that the old man knows what he knows in the spring."

The family was about glorifying the ancestors again, and Mrs. Ji was the first to think of Mr. Ji.

Old Mrs. Ji asked Mr. Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er to prepare quickly. She wanted to burn incense for Mr. Ji and tell him the good news. Not only did the Ji family, the most incompetent young son, have made a fortune, but also the young granddaughter who could only stay in the back house, was also the county lord.

"The old man took Xiaotang's homework at that time. The better Xiaotang's homework was, the older he sighed. He said that Xiaotang was not a man because he was born in a single person." If Ji Xiaotang was a man, not only did Master Ji Er have children, but the Ji family's cultural heritage was also successors. "But Xiaotang is so successful, not a man, he is an official, and he is also a high-ranking official."

To worship Mr. Ji, of course, we can't only worship Mr. Ji alone. She has to take Mr. Ji's family to worship. Mr. Ji is right next to him and immediately said that we should worship together.

In this way, the whole house of Xinhua Hall was dressed neatly and came to worship his ancestors together.

Originally, it was just a little bit of Mrs. Ji's thoughts, but in the end it was arranged, it was very grand. Master Ji made a gorgeous tribute in a short period of time.

This tribute was so gorgeous that Ji Xiaotang knew in private that perhaps the one who was more suitable to be an official in the Ministry of Rites was Mr. Ji.

"The great emperor's kindness is also the great blessings of my ancestors of the Ji family, protecting their descendants." After the worship, Master Ji sat down under Mrs. Ji, touching the beard under his jaw, smiling.

Ji Xiaotang is a girl, and she must be extraordinary after all. The feng shui and blessings of the Ji family have been extended to her, not to mention their father and son. Master Ji couldn't help laughing more and more proud when he thought of somewhere.

Compared with Master Ji's joy, the smile on Mrs. Ji's face seemed stiff and forced.

After being named the county lord, Ji Xiaotang was about to come to the palace to thank him.

"I'm not like anything else when I go to the palace to see a carriage. If you have any etiquette, it's a big deal." Mrs. Ji smiled, "I have to ask someone to come and talk to Xiaotang. People also need to handle some things in advance in the palace. I'll go back to the Xiangfu Hutong..."

Yangge's hometown lives in Xiangfu Hutong.

Mrs. Ji discussed this last sentence with Master Ji. On the one hand, she showed her enthusiasm for the Ji family's clan wife as the eldest son's daughter-in-law, and on the other hand, she specifically mentioned Mr. Yang in front of others.

Ji Xiaotang is certainly noble when she becomes the county lord, but her parents' family is not too arrogant.

Seeing that Mrs. Ji was so enthusiastic and thoughtful, Master Ji was very happy: "It's because my wife was thoughtful, so she should go quickly. I don't know if the time has come."

Mrs. Ji Er is a honest person. She was afraid that Master Ji and Mrs. Ji would worry, so she hurriedly spoke: "The etiquette in the palace is okay." Mrs. Ji Er said Madam Cheng.

"It turns out that the second wife had invited Xiaotang to worship the nanny in the palace!" Mrs. Ji's face was a little strange. ￠￡,

"Madam Cheng came out of the palace, and no one was fleeing at home. She passed by Qingyuan and met us. At that time, I happened to invite a safe nanny for Xiaoyun and Xiaotang sisters, so I invited Madam Cheng to her house. It was a coincidence." Mrs. Ji Er explained.

It was Ji Xiaotang's idea to invite Madam Cheng. The main purpose was Ji Xiaoyun. It was just that this matter was not easy to explain to Mrs. Ji.

"Fate happened!" Mrs. Ji murmured to herself. She didn't believe in any coincidence. She secretly believed that Mrs. Ji Er had ambitions and tried her best to make such an arrangement.

Ji Xiaotang no longer needs to ask anyone to teach all the etiquette when entering the palace, and the things in the palace are handled...

Although Mr. Yang was the most powerful minister, he was able to manage his position in the palace... I am afraid that this is not appropriate.

"Auntie is full of enthusiasm, and I am very grateful. However, Xiao was granted the title this time. The emperor's grace is so great. It is the first time since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, a woman with a foreign surname is named. I am afraid that countless pairs of eyes in the capital are staring at our family at this moment. It is really not good to alarm the Pavilion Master for this. If you are careless, it will cause the Pavilion Master to be impeached by the censor, which is not beautiful." Ji Xiaotang tactfully rejected Mrs. Ji's proposal to ask Master Yang to handle the palace.

After careful consideration, Mrs. Ji is just a favourite.

After thinking about it for a moment, Master Ji felt that Ji Xiaotang's concerns were reasonable.

"Xiaotang's niece is right. At this time, our family should act in a low-key manner to avoid criticism. Xiaotang is the newly-elected county lord. He is the right way to go to the palace to thank him. There will be no secret obstacles. Then prepare more rewards. If we don't go and handle some things, who doesn't know what Xiaotang has to do with us?"

After he said this, Mrs. Ji had nothing to say.

We had to arrange another banquet and celebrate, and then we parted.

Xuanhua Hall is in the room, Master Ji Er, Mrs. Ji Second, and Ji Xiaotang are still talking to Mrs. Ji.

"It's good that Xiaotang is the county magistrate, but..." Old Mrs. Ji looked at everyone. The first time hesitated when he was talking.

"Grandmother has anything to say, just say it." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

"You don't blame me for saying depressed words, then I will say it." Old Mrs. Ji continued, "When Xiaotang becomes the county lord, he has to interact with the nobles in the palace. I heard the old man say something called "Parent the king and accompany the tiger."

Mr. Ji once said a lot to Mrs. Ji, and Mrs. Ji has the deepest memory of this sentence.

"...It doesn't matter if you are unhappy and the official is gone, but you are afraid that someone will take our lives with just one word. It's not easy to answer correctly in front of those nobles." Old Mrs. Ji was worried about Ji Xiaotang.

"What my grandmother said was not a discouraging word, but a warning to the world." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile again.

Ordinary people say that wealth and honor are in danger, but Old Mrs. Ji is not the one on this road.

"If you want me to tell me, we should go back to Qingyuan early. The emperor is far away. Xiaotang returns to Qingyuan to be the county magistrate. That is the greatest official, and he has so much freedom and blessings!" Old Mrs. Ji said this, and she was fascinated by such a prospect.

It has been less than a month since I came to Beijing, and Old Mrs. Ji has already wanted to go back.

When they returned to Qingyuan, Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Could it be that they were willing to leave Qingyuan?

It’s not easy to go back! They have no choice but to retreat. Even if there are swords and fires in the capital, they can only fight for it, and the bet is their wealth and life.

"Don't worry, grandma. We always have to walk around the capital. Being a county lord is always better than not being a county lord." Ji Xiaotang said, this is her truth.

Ji Xiaotang was already thinking in her mind that as the county magistrate, what she could do for herself, for the people she cared about, and for the suffering people in the world.

...

Qianhuatang

"This is really something I never thought..." Mrs. Ji sat on the couch and looked around. In addition to Ji Xiaolian, Yang and Ji Xiaoqin also came back with her, and sat on the chair under the couch and listened to her. "A good thing I didn't expect."

"I didn't expect it." Yang continued the conversation, and the excited expression on her face had not completely faded. She was really happy for Ji Xiaotang. "Xiaotang actually made such a kind act in Qingyuan. If it weren't for the imperial edict, we wouldn't know. The old man always said that the second uncle was the most humble person, and it was true. If it were someone else, I would have been promoted first."

Yang's words were all about praise for Ji Xiaotang and Qingyuan's one-sided family.

Mrs. Ji was a little disgusted with her words, but she couldn't express anything in person. Yang was a daughter-in-law and niece. This niece's temperament was not the same as hers, but she was the only girl in Yang Ge Lao's mansion who was about the same age as Ji Xiaomu and had a similar seniority.

Yang and Ji Xiaomu had a good temper, and Mrs. Ji was also satisfied with her identity. She had worked very hard to decide on this marriage at that time.

Mrs. Ji is still very kind and tolerant to Yang.

"It would be fine if you don't think of those things, but you shouldn't be hiding them from us. You seem to be a little unworthy of us as a family." Mrs. Ji didn't say anything, but Ji Xiaolian couldn't help but speak.

Ji Xiaoqin had already lowered her head and fiddled with her clothes, but she seemed to have heard everyone's words. In the crowd, she was a girl with a weak sense of presence.

"We didn't ask," said Yang. "Xiaotang and the others escaped from death. Xiaotang didn't take the initiative to say that they were afraid that everyone would follow him... It was also because Xiaotang came at a short time. If it took a long time, we would know."

Although Yang loves poetry and books, he is a little stupid, but he is reasonable. This statement shows her temperament.

But if she was so reasonable, she could not resonate with the people present.

Ji Xiaolian felt that Yang did not understand relatives and alienation, so she stood on Ji Xiaotang's side, and felt angry in her heart. She snorted softly. Then she stopped talking to Yang, but instead signaled to Mrs. Ji with her eyes.
