Chapter 34 Early in the morning
Ye Xiaotian said: "What, uncle dare not bet with me?"
Dad Xia said, "After three years, I've been promoted to the sixth rank? Okay, I've bet with you!"
The two stood up, took three steps against each other, and stood opposite each other with a strong fighting spirit.
"Smack and Smack" three times, and Dad Xia said, "A gentleman's word!"
Ye Xiaotian said: "Have a quick horse and whip!"
The two of them looked at each other and laughed "hehe" together, both of them looking like they were ulterior motives.
Mr. Xia was very proud. He didn't believe Ye Xiaotian's crazy words at all, but he didn't dare to hurt Ye Xiaotian's self-confidence just now. If Ye Xiaotian also thought that his bet was too risky and he had almost no chance of success and cancelled the bet, wouldn't he have no choice but to do anything about him?
Dad Xia didn't really have no choice but to deal with Ye Xiaotian. If he really wanted to deal with Ye Xiaotian, there were at least a hundred ways, but his precious daughter was standing in the middle, and he would inevitably be afraid of it. If Ye Xiaotian insisted on refusing to let go, he really couldn't think of any good way to make his daughter turn back.
Now Ye Xiaotian took the initiative to put forward such harsh conditions, which was exactly what Mr. Xia wanted. After the two made a bet, Mr. Xia sneered: "According to eight levels in three years, hey! It's unheard of such a arrogant saying. Boy, you will definitely lose this time!"
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "There are quite a few officials who have been promoted to eight levels in three years, from ancient times to the present, right? I won't mention those from the previous dynasty, and this kind of thing seems to be missing."
"This dynasty..."
When Mr. Xia heard him say this, he suddenly remembered Qian Ning and Jiang Bin from Zhengde Dynasty, and couldn't help but sneer: "That lucky minister, there must be a ridiculous emperor to be promoted. Do you think that the current emperor will be as ridiculous as the Zhengde emperor in the past?"
As he said that, he looked at Ye Xiaotian up and down a few more times and said earnestly: "A good person is a lucky minister, but he has no good ending."
Ye Xiaotian said: "There are also many people who cannot end up in good faith. They have their own luck and their own opportunities. They can't blame others for the consequences. Besides, I understand the principle that being with the king is like being with a tiger. I don't want to be a lucky minister in front of the emperor."
Mr. Xia sneered: "If you go to the emperor to work and get promoted to eight levels in three years, there is still a front-line possibility. If you don't become an official in front of the imperial court, then there will be no chance of success!"
Ye Xiaotian said: "Ha! That's my life, why worry, uncle? Besides, uncle should be looking forward to my failure now, right?"
Dad Xia snorted coldly and said, "The bet has been established. Go back and be your official. I will take Yingying home tomorrow. I want to see what skills do you have? You can upgrade to eighth level in three years and become a sixth-rank official!"
Ye Xiaotian also smiled. Is it difficult to get promoted to eight levels in three years? Of course it is difficult. Although Ye Xiaotian first entered the officialdom, he also knew how difficult it was to get promoted, especially since he is a low-level official now, from being in the midst of the current, it is a natural barrier.
Besides, in Wen, he is not a Jinshi on both lists. In Wu, he is not a famous general in Yum. It is even more unimaginable to want to jump and get promoted in a short period of time. However, is it difficult to let the eight elders overturn the ancestral rules? Is it difficult to let the Xia family agree to marry Yingying, who is destined to leave her family in her prime?
Miracle. It is easy to happen around the Emperor of True Dragon, and it is also easy to happen to the emperor far away. In Guizhou, he has the right time, place and people. With such great luck, can't he accomplish something that some people can do in thirty years within three years?
"Brother Xiaotian is here?"
A surprise cheer suddenly came from behind the screen. Ye Xiaotian and Mr. Xia looked at each other and saw Xia Yingying with black and beautiful hair, wearing a snow-white middle suit, and running out from behind with bare feet.
When Xia Yingying saw Ye Xiaotian, her eyes immediately shone. When she cheered, she rushed into Ye Xiaotian's arms like a happy little swallow.
The majestic attitude that Dad Xia tried his best was ruined immediately. With such a girl, he was so sad that he really wanted to die. Fortunately, Ye Xiaotian took the initiative to make a bet with him, otherwise how could he stop these two people from continuing to interact? It's such a sinister...
...
There is a snack shop in Qiaotou, Zhenhuai, which has been open for more than 20 years. It is named Zhengjia Shop. Because of its fair price and delicious food, it is very popular among residents nearby. Many people don’t like to open a snack shop in the morning, so they simply come to this snack shop for breakfast.
Qiao Naihe is an old customer of this store. Almost every morning he appears in the Zheng family store, asking for a duck blood vermicelli soup, a plate of Jinling salted duck, a portion of hand-torn wind fish, a bowl of Dongba dried tofu, and a tray of small buns.
The old man's food has not changed for almost ten years, and his clothes seem not changed for ten years. He always has a pair of black satin soft soap boots, a washed yellow white tray-collar shirt, a square soft hat, and a square step, very gentle.
Twenty years have passed, and the old Zheng and his wife are no longer busy in the shop early in the morning, but Xiao Zheng and his wife. The couple are very diligent and manage the shop more prosperously than when their parents were in charge. When they saw Qiao Nai coming, Xiao Zheng immediately greeted him enthusiastically: "Mr. Qiao is early, please sit down, please sit down."
While he greeted him, he quickly wiped the table and the bench. Qiao Naihe smiled and nodded, and then sat down at the table. Although Qiao Naihe looked a little shabby in his clothes, he really deserved the "master" because he is an official and a censor. The censor is only a seventh-rank official, but as a rumor, he supervises all officials and reports, and has a lot of power.
Qiao Naihe was the old customer, and Xiao Zheng knew his taste very well. Xiao Zheng greeted the back shop, and wearing a floral blue skirt, the elegant lady Zheng brought the duck blood vermicelli soup, salted duck, hand-pulled wind fish and dried tofu, and then handed a tray of steaming small buns.
At this time, someone limped into the shop with crutches. Xiao Zheng saw it and quickly met and helped the man, saying concern: "Brother Zhang, what's wrong with you? I was fine yesterday and walked in a hurry. Why did you still use crutches early in the morning?"
Qiao Naihe looked back and saw a man over thirty years old, wearing two blue clothes, wearing a pair of crutches, wearing splints and straps on his legs, and some scratches on his cheeks. He looked very embarrassed. Qiao Naihe didn't care and continued to eat. The old man was concerned about not talking about food, so he could not care about his own affairs.
Brother Zhang sighed in annoyance and said, "Hey, don't mention it, it's so fucking bad luck!"
He sat down at a table and shouted at the back of the shed, "My brother and sister, two trays of buns, a bowl of soup!" After shouting, he said to Xiao Zheng, "I didn't yesterday play horse hangs with a few friends, and I won a lot of money. I planned to go to the street to see the lanterns, but as soon as I left the alley, a man rushed over like a horse flying. Fortunately, I flashed quickly and didn't hit him to death, but my calf was broken."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he said, "Oh, you have to raise your horse well, don't be disabled. There are no horses allowed in this city, not to mention that it was the day of the Yuan Dynasty yesterday, and there were people everywhere. That person was actually galloping, which was too unreasonable. He had to pay a lot of medical expenses."
Brother Zhang became even more depressed when he heard this, and sighed: "Come on, I still pay for medical expenses? I don't dare to lend us courage."
Xiao Zheng said nervously: "What a powerful person who makes you so taboo?"
Brother Zhang said mysteriously: "Hey! You don't believe me if I say it, it's the uncle of the current dynasty!"
Xiao Zheng was stunned, "National Uncle?" He didn't understand what the extremely unfamiliar title of "National Uncle" mean for a while.
Brother Zhang said in a show-off tone: "I heard it really well. I followed the man and ran along with several others, shouting "Uncle Guo, wait!" Hey! That's the uncle, the emperor's uncle! I, Zhang Yuqing, was actually stepped on by the uncle. I dared to ask him for compensation? I beat me to death, and I didn't dare to say anything."
Brother Zhang said this, but Gu Pan was full of eyebrows and looked proud. He seemed to be a villain, so even if he had a relationship with the other royal family.
Jingshi Qiao was eating his breakfast quietly, but ignored what they were saying. Suddenly, he heard the word "National Uncle" and turned his head suddenly, and his eyes also emitted a twinkle of light: "Young man, do you say that the uncle was riding in the street and stomping on your legs, and he left without paying for it?"
Brother Zhang said, "That's it! As soon as I left the alley, a black shadow was wrapped in a strong wind. I was so quick that I quickly flashed. I didn't hit the horse directly, but the horse's body was scraped and fell. Then the horse's hooves stepped on my legs. Hey! I even scolded him at that time. As soon as I finished scolding, several horses chased me and called him uncle in front, which scared me."
Brother Zhang said, looking proud. In the world, people who have scolded the royal relatives in person can count them with one hand. This is a great honor. When he has a grandson, he can show off. However, he doesn't even have a wife now, and his grandson is even far away. If you don't tell others, you will really suffocate him to death.
Qiao Naihe smiled and said to Xiao Zheng: "Xiao Zheng, I like to listen to stories the most. Come on, move my husband's dishes to that table, and then have a pot of water and wine. I have a good chat with the young man."
Qiao Naihe is the censor. What is the censor? To put it bluntly, he is just a specialist in finding trouble. Everyone is afraid of big troubles, but the censor is not afraid. The poor and poor censors will catch anyone who they can bite. The more they can't afford to offend, they like to bite. If they bite, they won't win the "establishing career" and they can't win the "establishing reputation". The most painful thing they have is that no one can bite. Now, Li Guojiu has been targeted by the Censor Qiao, who has no choice but to bite...
