Cheng Jingzhou is still scared now.
As for Xu Youyou's speed and direction of jumping out, thanks to his quick reaction at the time, he was kicked out, otherwise he might have been stabbed directly in his arms.
Can you still make it clear then?
Regardless of his intentions or not, the Xu family will make trouble and force him to accept Xu Youyou.
What do you think this is?
The Xu family did have such thoughts. Even after being kicked away by Cheng Jingzhou and the two of them no longer having physical contact, Mrs. Xu still wanted to get married.
Mrs. Cheng was also speechless. Can you family please stop being so obvious?
Xu Li's wife sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere and quickly said a few nice words, which made Mrs. Cheng's face look better.
After this incident, Cheng Jingzhou had absolutely no patience for the Xu family and became visibly cold to the naked eye.
Not only him, but also Mrs. Cheng was not very willing to see them.
The Xu family realized this time that something had gone wrong, and they were afraid that they would not be able to get what they wanted.
Just hiding all the time was not the solution. Cheng Jingzhou confessed directly on a holiday: "I am a small official and my cousin wants to find a job in the capital. I am afraid that I am not capable enough to be of much help."
Xu Qinghe was anxious: "Sanlang doesn't need to be humble, as long as it's a serious job, it doesn't matter what rank."
Cheng Jingzhou frowned, he really didn't want to care at all.
But two days ago, my grandmother sent a letter to my mother here, just to remember the old friendship and want to help.
"Why does my cousin have to ask my cousin to find a job in the capital? Isn't Zhending Mansion bad?"
Xu Qinghe was sarcastic in front of him. Strictly speaking, of course the ones from Zhending Mansion were the best. After all, their whole family was there.
But the problem is, don't they think that if they can borrow more of Cheng Jingzhou's light, they can achieve success in the future.
"Cousin, I don't shy away from certain things, I just say them directly."
"You say it, you say it."
"My cousin is just a member of the family. Logically speaking, if you want to get a serious official position with this background, you can only start from the bottom. There are too many powerful people in the capital. To tell you the truth, it was the relatives of Mr. Zheng Ge who wanted to stay in the capital. , they all only got a job with the eighth rank, and they were born as Jinshi."
You figure it out for yourself.
Does Mr. Zheng Ge have a strong background?
It is impossible for him to guarantee that he will arrange an errand for a seventh-grade official.
Of course, what Cheng Jingzhou didn't say was that the relative of Mr. Zheng Ge was actually just a fellow villager. If he didn't follow the path of Mr. Zheng Ge, he would probably be sent to the poorest and most remote place, and it would take ten years for him to go there. You can't see it back in eight years.
This shows the difference.
A Jinshi master would rather be an eighth-grade official in the capital than go to a place like this. Think about how poor and far away it is!
Xu Qinghe calmed down now, thinking that it was a fact that there were many talents in the capital. I heard that even a small official in the government office might have some background.
At this point, he no longer felt that Cheng Jingzhou was perfunctory with him.
After all, Cheng Jingzhou's official position was still too low.
Xu Qinghe knew that Cheng Jingzhou's father-in-law had a high and powerful position, but the problem was that while they could get such a crooked relative to come to Cheng Jingzhou, they could not take the initiative to mention Mr. Xie.
That would make them look too shameless.
"If you go back to Zhending Mansion, what kind of job does Sanlang think you can get?"
If their family could arrange errands in Zhending Mansion, they would not ask Cheng Jingzhou to come here.
After all, people like them are not enough to be looked down upon by real powerful people.
"If my cousin doesn't mind it, I can let someone find a position as a county magistrate in the county under the jurisdiction of Zhending Mansion. Even so, I have to borrow the face of my father-in-law."
The implication is that he himself does not even have this ability and relies entirely on his father-in-law.
"That's fine. I have a whole family watching over you, so I feel more at ease."
Xu Qinghe knew that the average county magistrate was the eighth grade, and if he was a lower county magistrate, he might be the ninth grade.
These days, Xu Qinghe also found out clearly that Xie Xiuwen is indeed capable. His own cousin can be arranged to be the county magistrate in Feng County, which is the eighth grade.
I heard that the man was a scholar, but he had reliable relatives, and he had practiced in Jingzhao Mansion for two years. Because of his qualifications, he had done a fair job as county magistrate.
If he really makes some other achievements, he may be promoted to county magistrate in the future.
"Then thank you Saburo."
Xu Qinghe's relief here means that others will no longer be entangled in this matter.
Of course Xu Li was unwilling.
His original plan was to stay in the capital and become a minor official, and then he could directly rely on the Cheng family, not only saving money at home, but also using the name of the Cheng family to make friends with more powerful people outside.
But it just happened to be the opposite.
Now he can only return to Zhending Mansion in despair.
Although Xu Li was not happy, he thought that there would be no better results if he stayed, and such a job was rare, so he could only grit his teeth and agree.
However, Cheng Jingzhou still gave him a suggestion, asking him to think clearly after returning home whether to continue taking the exam or to really join the officialdom.
Xu Li didn't think much about this and replied directly.
"Thank you for your concern, cousin. If I continue to study for a few more years, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on, so I might as well stop studying."
Cheng Jingzhou nodded. He had his own destiny and chose the path he chose. He hoped he would not regret it.
They are both officials. If they are a Jinshi or a Juren, their final positions will definitely be different.
So far, none of the powerful officials in the Great Rule Dynasty has a Juren background.
After seeing the Xu family off, Mrs. Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief.
During this period, Wulang came back once, but he only rested at home for one day and then hurried back to the academy.
Cheng Jingzhou really didn't have such great ability, and he had only been in the officialdom for a short time. He was not sure about some things, so he had no choice but to ask his father-in-law for advice.
Xie Xiuwen didn't say much and directly arranged for a county magistrate from Zhong County, who was worthy of the Xu family.
Cheng Jingzhou thanked him again and again, but felt helpless in his heart.
The relative whom he met for the first time in more than twenty years really didn't have much emotion at all, but he still had to use his face and favor to help. The benefits may come to his family, but he still had to express his gratitude himself.
Of course, Cheng Jingzhou didn't think there was anything wrong with bowing to his father-in-law, but he simply didn't like this kind of behavior of helping others seek officialdom.
