When Mi Shi heard Zhu Yun coming, she hurried over and said, "Why did it arrive so early? It's not dawn, so you're not afraid. Look at it, it's cold, hurry up and go to the house."

As they were talking, the two of them pulled Zhu Yun into the house and sat in front of the stove to keep warm.

Looking at this strange heating tool, Zhu Yun became more and more cramped. Zhu Kuang's family was different from before. In the middle of winter, they all relied on the kang to keep warm, but Zhu Kuang's family actually had such heating tools.

"Kuan'er, you and Zhu Yun are eating in the main hall."

Mrs. Tan had already brought the hot Laba porridge to the main hall.

Zhu Kuang and Zhu Yun drank the sweet and soft Laba porridge and said a few more words. Zhu Kuang hurried to the yamen.

Zhu Yun said goodbye. Mi had put all the dried vegetables and other things that Zhu Yun carried when he came. He took out a piece of meat from the kitchen, wrapped it in paper, and put it in a can of Laba porridge, and asked him to take it home for his wife and children to eat. In addition to these, he also gave him two old clothes. One set was worn by Mi before, but now he is a widow, and there is no chance to wear the bright colors, so he simply brought it back to Zhu Yun, and the other set was worn by Zhu Kuang.

"I will change this piece to your wife for wearing it. Zhu Kuang's outfit, you and his brother are about the same size, so you should be able to wear it. Although it is old, it is better than yours." Mi pointed out the things to Zhu Yun.

She had thought about giving Zhu Yun a piece of material, but Zhu Kuang said that if you can help, the others will always rely on your own efforts.

Moreover, even if you give new materials, Zhu Yun may not be able to hold on. It would be better to give two old clothes.

Zhu Yun blushed and refused repeatedly. The two clothes were said to be old, but in fact there was not even a patch. The one on him was already patched with patches, and he couldn't tell what the original fabric looked like.

"Aunt, how good is this? I'm here to congratulate you and I didn't bring anything good, so why are you so embarrassed to accept these?"

He only brought a little dried vegetables from his home, which was not worth it. If he brought these back, how could he be so embarrassed? Who would he become?

"I'm not embarrassed. Your cousins ​​have more than a dozen of you, so I can share with you better with the blessings. If you don't help you, who else can I help? During the Chinese New Year, I will bring your wife and children to the house and let the children see the county town, but don't meet with my aunt."

"Aunt, don't you go back during the Chinese New Year?" Zhu Yun asked blankly.

"I guess I won't go back. At most I'll go back to visit your uncle's grave. I'll definitely come back that day."

Now I don’t want to go back to that place anymore, and Mi Shi was heartbroken.

Zhu Yun wanted to say that the people in the clan were still waiting for them to go back during the Chinese New Year, thinking that when Zhu Kuang went back, would he be able to get a good relationship, but now it seems that this is impossible.

Yang Minglian was a quick-moving person. After seeing off Eunuch Chen, he immediately started to choose a site, and customized bricks and tiles in a brick kiln, etc.

Soon, everyone in the yamen knew that the reward given to Zhu Kuang this time by the court was very decent, not only with silver, but also with a archway to commend Zhu Kuang's merits.

Although it is not easy to make money, as long as you work hard, you can still make money. The archway will be different. Without great merit, you will generally not get it.

Because the news was not deliberately concealed, soon Zhu Kuang was commended, and the news that the court wanted to commend Zhu Kuang's achievements in building a archway for Zhu Kuang spread throughout Lan County.

Li Mingcheng sent someone to ask Lan County to hand over the seeds. The person who came was Li Mingcheng's confidant in Jin County. He was also proud. After all, he received the order from the prefect. What if Lan County is not satisfied?

Unexpectedly, when I arrived in Lan County, I heard these news. After careful investigation, I found out that these were all news from the yamen. It is said that the county even chose the place to build the archway and the construction date was also set, which was the 12th day of the New Year.

Through this information, he immediately realized that this incident would definitely not be without storms, but should be true.

How did the court get such news? It was even rewarded at such a quick time?

In this way, there will be a problem with your own adults taking risks. No, you must report this matter as soon as possible.

He made a quick decision and immediately rushed back to Jinxian County. He didn't care about anything else and immediately went to the yamen to ask for Li Mingcheng.

"What? Is this news true?" Li Mingcheng was shocked.

How is that possible?

Even if Yang Minglian submits a memorial after the crops are harvested, the court cannot commend it in such a short time. It should be until next spring. After all, the court must be cautious about such matters. It is necessary to conduct a preliminary investigation and make sure that the matter is true before the reward can be issued.

According to the procedures, the people coming to the court should first go to the prefecture to find the situation.

He had thought about it, and after the people from the court came down, he asked the prefect to claim that the seed was obtained by the prefect accidentally and handed over to Jinxian to plant. In this way, the adults would make contributions, and Jinxian would make contributions, so Li Mingcheng would make contributions.

But now, the commendation of the court has come down like this?

No, absolutely impossible!

"Yes, sir, I heard that an old eunuch came a few days ago to announce the imperial edict. Zhu Kuang is now the ninth rank chief clerk of Jin County." The man replied respectfully.

He really envied Zhu Kuang, but he could not compare with others. Although he was a minor official in the yamen, he should never be able to choose an official in his life and become a real official.

Zhu Kuang did it in less than a year, how can it not be enviable?

But he also knew that he was not Zhu Kuang, and he had no way to compare with Zhu Kuang, so he could only envy him.

But my own adults' reaction is very strange. Why do they look dissatisfied with Zhu Kuang?

The Lord was the county magistrate of Lan County before, but Zhu Kuang was just a minor official who had just entered the yamen. He should not offend the Lord!

After hearing this, Li Mingcheng couldn't help but fall to the ground and shatter.

"I was promoted, but I was promoted? How could a minor official be promoted to an imperial official without nine years?" Li Mingcheng's face was distorted. He didn't expect to hear such a news. This was bad news for him!

"Sir, I'm just a ninth-rank official, and it's not worth taking it to heart."

"Even if it is only a ninth rank, this county cannot tolerate it! Zhu Kuang, Zhu Kuang, this county asked itself that I have never done anything to sorry for you. Why do you always have to go against me? Isn't it good to give me such credit?"

"Sir..." The yamen runner in Jin County did not expect that his lord would say such words.

How can you give up such a great contribution?

No one can agree. Is this how adults really thinking?
