Chapter 8 Coax

"Ah!" Chen was frightened by his son and looked at him in a hurry and said, "You have worked hard for a long time and are still the life of an ant!" After thinking about it, "Son, have you scared me?"

"How could I scare you?" Chen Zhou said with a bitter smile across his lips, "I'm talking about the facts."

"But you are the disciple of the emperor! The emperor appointed the top scholar." Chen immediately said when he heard this. He did not allow his son to be so arrogant. In her eyes, his son is the best.

Chen Zhou stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, looking at his innocent mother helplessly, "Mom, what else do I have besides the title of top scholar?"

"Isn't this enough?" Chen said, looking at him with confusion.

"Can I solve my problems for the emperor, or have a strong background behind me for the emperor's use." Chen Zhouheng smiled bitterly, "I have nothing, I just have my head and nothing, and I broke into a place that doesn't belong to us like a naughty man."

"Is this brain knowledge not good enough?" Chen said, looking straight at him.

"I'll tie my mother, there's no shortage of knowledgeable people in the temple." Chen Zhouheng's eyes, like amber, glanced at her helplessly, "This is what we are in that temple." His thumb pinched his little finger, "Mo Liu!"

Chen Zhouheng smiled shyly and said honestly, "It was very glorious when he was named on the Golden List. It is a supreme honor to see the beauty of heaven when entering Fengtian Palace. However, the chance of carp leaping on the Dragon Gate is very small, and more because he lost his name, he had to cover his face and return home."

He restrained the smile on his face and said, "I'll give you a look at the possible developments I'll stay in Beijing: I don't often ask how big the top scholar can be, I can tell my mother clearly now that the editor of the Hanlin Academy is from the sixth rank."

"The grade is not high!" Chen said in a low voice, "I thought it would be high-ranking, at least the first-grade, second-grade, and the worst is third-grade and fourth-grade!"

"Mom, you really dare to think about it." Chen Zhouheng looked at her with clear eyes and shook his head and laughed.

"But that's higher than the seventh-rank sesame official." Chen said very realistically, "I am close to the emperor in Beijing and have many opportunities."

"Haha..." Chen Zhouheng looked at the childish old lady and smiled, "Do you know what the Hanlin Academy editors do?"

"I don't know." Chen said very frankly, "I don't understand this!"

Chen Zhouheng looked at her with a serious face and said, "Let me tell you this! The Hanlin Academy Qingshui Yamen, where they compile books and write books, cook a pot of tea every morning, and when they drink it, they will almost go to the yamen. Day after day, year after year, life is as cold as tea. Some people have worked for more than ten years and have not been promoted."

"My God, why?" Chen asked with curious eyes and blinked.

Chen Zhouheng looked at her with deep and quiet eyes and said, "There are probably two ways to advance in the career of officials: one is the spider-web-like relationship I just mentioned, with noble people helping you. The other is that you can do it."

"My son is capable!" Chen looked at him with confidence and said, "Even the top scorer who is so difficult to get the exam."

"Thank you for your praise." Chen Zhouheng's bright peach blossom eyes flashed slightly, and he continued to say, "That mother said I could do it, that doesn't count! There are so many officials in this capital, what am I going to do in it!"

"I understand, I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Your county magistrate stands out from the crowd." Chen clapped his hands and said with a smile, "My son is smart."

"But it's so good to go to that rich place in Jiangnan!" Chen looked around with dissatisfaction, so poor that he couldn't squeeze out two taels of oil.

Chen Zhouheng looked at the casserole boiling, put the remaining medicinal materials in it, covered the kraft paper wrapped in the casserole, and slowly boiled it.

"Mom, where can I be the county magistrate? Can I be picky?" Chen Zhouheng turned slightly to look at her and shook his head, curled his lips and said truthfully, "The wealthy county people have squeezed their heads, so where can they get my nameless? I didn't send us to the northwest to eat sand. After all, it was the Central Plains, the once prosperous place."

"Oh..." Chen was like a eggplant beaten by Shuang, and was wilted.

Chen Zhouheng looked at her sighing and said, "My mother has eaten a lot of hardships and has never enjoyed any blessings at all. She said in her heart, "Mom, this life is not that sad."

"Is it hard? I know in my heart that it's spring, at least I can continue to farm. With your salary, I can't starve to death." Chen rolled up his sleeves and said with a desperate attitude. Suddenly his eyes lit up and patted his arm and said, "Son, son, aren't there any filial piety in this place?" His eyes were blazing green light like a hungry wolf.

"Mom, don't say that this place is poor and has no filial piety, even if you have filial piety, you can't accept it." Chen Zhouheng looked at her with a very serious expression and said, "The simplest truth is that you eat someone's mouth and take someone's hands short. I don't want to be controlled by others."

"This is the official who is ungrateful to the point of taking Xiaojing, why can't he be here?" Chen looked at him in confusion and said.

Chen Zhou tied his lips and looked at her directly, thinking about what should he say?

"Don't look at me? Tell me why I can't accept it?" Chen pushed his arm and said.

Chen Zhouheng lowered his head and pondered for a moment, raised his deep eyes as deep as the sea and looked at her and said, "Mom, as a county magistrate, he is the county magistrate of the whole county, not the county magistrate of some people. Can you understand! We are just a first-timer, so be careful. Who knows that you have accepted filial piety in front and people will sue you for bribes later."

"What?" Chen's eyes widened and rounded, looking at him in disbelief.

"It's not that I scare you, it's possible!" Chen Zhouheng looked at her seriously and said.

Chen looked at him suspiciously and said, "Are you fooling me again?"

"Mom, why am I fooling you? We are just a little bit dark. How can you do it if you are not careful?" Chen Zhouheng looked at him with a stern face and said, "If the people do not sue, the officials do not investigate. This is the quickest way. You don't like this county magistrate, but there are countless people in this county staring at the black hat on your son's head!"

Chen heard the words and rolled on the tip of his tongue, and swallowed them back.

Chen Zhouheng looked at his mother who was beaten and was depressed and said, "Mom, do you say that it is easy to make achievements in Fushu County, or do you easily make achievements in this poor county."

"Of course it's a poor county!" Chen's eyes suddenly shone at him and said, "This is a great contribution, you can see if you achieve some achievements, and you will be promoted quickly. If you calculate this, this remote countryside is also good."

Chen Zhouheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally coaxed his mother.

As for promotion, it was difficult before! It was even more difficult now! Let me coax myself and play with it!
