Beiyang new warlord

"Otherwise, the concubine will set off immediately to take over the governorship of the New World colonies in North America?"

Seeing Mao Jue worried, Adelaina couldn't help asking.

Biting the pen holder, she really thought about it for a few seconds, but Mao Jue shook her head heavily.

"Forget it, Ana, you should go to Zhoushan to train the Dashun Army under Liu Zongmin's command, I, trust that bastard!"

Mao Xingjian, who was probably still struggling in the New World, could never have imagined that behind his back, his emperor's father, who disliked him everywhere, gave him so much hope.

But this Mao Jue had just shown the aura and mind of an emperor through the ages, but when he turned around, he turned into a stingy and vengeful little man. Looking at the other end, Luo Yu was also nervously sorting out Zhongnan's news, preparing to go Zhongnan confronted the Toungoo Burmese who had joined forces with the Dutch, and Mao Jue suddenly asked again through gritted teeth.

"By the way, what happened to that bastard Luo Zhen?"

"Chu Tian is dealing with it. Don't worry, Your Majesty. On the day when I go south, everything Your Majesty wants will be shown to Your Majesty."

Without raising his head, Luo Yu replied indifferently.

Little did he know that Mao Jue's angry and hateful pupils were still staring at him from behind. During this period of time, Luo Zhen had a very good life and was very happy.

It took a hundred days to hurt his muscles and bones, but under the warmth and supplementation of all kinds of precious medicinal materials regardless of the cost, Luo Zhen's right hand could hold a pen again in just over a month. , a few pretty little girls were serving wine by the side, there was a beautiful girl in her arms, holding a big brush, Luo Zhen was writing vigorously in the yard, but I have to admit that this kid Although he is a scumbag, he still has a bit of talent, and a picture of mountains, rivers, clouds and mist is flourishing in his pen.

But seeing that the last few strokes were about to be finished, a young servant in the yard suddenly shouted hastily.

"My lord, the eldest lady is back!"

Hastily pushed away the little girl with the red face in her arms, and gestured to a group of girls like chasing flies, and then Luo Zhen looked like a gentleman, smearing on the scroll again, after a while, then He let out a sigh of relief, then turned around with a "surprised" expression, and said excitedly.

"Tian'er, you're back! It's just right, come and see my new work, son!"

Just as he expected, there was slight sweat on the tip of her nose, and Chu Tian, ​​who was full of enthusiasm, came here excitedly following his words, and looked at the long scroll. With admiration, he turned around excitedly.

"The painting is full of vigor, the picture is majestic and majestic, the instrument is magnificent, and the son is really a dragon and phoenix among people, and a great fortune!"

That old arrogance reached the sky, and in Chu Tian's approval, Luo Zhen almost lost his arrogance for a moment!

Chapter 863. Buying an Official

Although he is a scumbag by nature, he steals food from time to time, but for Chu Tian, ​​Luo Zhen really likes him to the bottom of his heart.

At the most critical moment, this woman pulled him and rescued him from the abyss of Jurong County Prison. Yi Baishun, gentle as water, give him whatever he wants! Even if he is cold by nature, selfish and ruthless, Chu Tian occupies a very important position in Luo Zhen's heart at this time, although it is impossible not to let Luo Zhen take a concubine, But in Luo Zhen's back house, Chu Tian is at least the official wife.

Hearing her praise of his paintings, Luo Zhen's heart was as refreshed as if drinking a cold beer in hot summer, but on the surface, he was still boastful, more modest than bragging , shook his head arrogantly.

"Sweet praise, the peak of Zhongshan, after all, has lost a bit of momentum. Although the artistic conception is better, but the meticulous sketching is still a little behind Tang Bohu's style, so it should not be praised like this!"

"Young master is only young and lacks the accumulation of time. Given time, he will be no less than Qiu Ying and Li Zhi!"

Praising people is just like this, full of pertinence, Chu Tian shook her head appreciatively, and even the beautiful Luo Zhen almost didn't fly, if he had a tail, he would definitely shake it high right now, taking advantage of his temper, He couldn't help asking eagerly.

"Now that the snow is in full bloom in Nanjing, it's the time for the Zhongshan Poetry Fair. Is Tian'er free to accompany the young master to the Poetry Fair?"

But this time, Luo Zhen's eyes were full of strange eyes, but Chu Tian shook his head in a rare way. This time, the boss of Luo Zhen was immediately disappointed, his face turned down, and he reprimanded dissatisfied.

"Busy with these vulgar and vulgar things from morning to night, and miss such an elegant meeting, Tian'er, you are too boring!"

But when it came to this, Chu Tian didn't get angry at all, instead she pulled the corner of her skirt in a showy way and said a blessing gracefully.

"Although the slave family is busy with vulgar and lowly things, it is a very good thing! Today, the slave family has finally made an appointment to see Mr. Wang Zhaomo, the supervisor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Nanjing!"

Her expression became more and more excited, and amidst Luo Zhen's disdainful expression, her tone became a little more urgent.

"The head of the county education bureau in Jurong County is also named Luozhen, and has the same name as the young master. A few days ago, his sister-in-law passed away. The family was poor and unable to bury him. The slave family gave him 500 taels of silver. He is willing to give up his name. Today Going to Mr. Wang's place is also to take care of this matter, as long as Mr. Wang secretly changes his status, this official position belongs to the son!"

"Young master has great ambitions, how can you not be an official and end up in the mountains and forests, this is simply a great loss to the world!"

Originally full of disdain, but listening to Chu Tian's excited words, Luo Zhen's face couldn't help but freeze, and he stared at him dumbfounded. This look made Chu Tian feel a little hairy, and asked in astonishment.

"Son!"

This sound made Luo Zhen suddenly come back to life. Unexpectedly, Chu Tian was hugged into his arms suddenly, and his big mouth kissed her face suddenly, a clever, ruthless Pushing him away ruthlessly and taking two steps back, Chu Tian's face lowered quickly, her chest heaved violently, her small fists pinched the veins tightly, but after a while, they loosened again.

But he didn't bother to care about her at all, with his hands behind his back and his head held high, Luo Zhen was almost as excited as a big rooster in mating season, laughing triumphantly and loudly.

"Hahaha, he deserves it! That dirty thing has a nose, eyes, and teeth. It looks unlucky at first glance. Since he is still competing with this young master for the official position, he must kill my mother! Haha!"

But after laughing, Luo Zhen grabbed Chu Tian's little hand suddenly and said even more excitedly.

"Tian'er, no matter how much money is spent, this official position will definitely be done. I will say that I, Luo Zhen Wen Qu Xing, will be born into the world, and I will be able to live in the mountains and forests. Sooner or later, this officialdom will be a place where a certain son will dominate the world, hahaha!"

The smile became less natural, and Chu Tian hurriedly withdrew her hand a little panicked, and lowered her head again, but she still nodded her sharp chin slightly.

"Don't worry, son! The slave family will definitely do it for you!!!"

Officially obsessed, she pestered Chu Tian to accompany him every day, and didn't even sleep in. Every morning, Luo Zhen sent Chu Tian out for a relationship like a housewife every day, and it was the first time at night. An excited man waited in the inner courtyard, but his hard work paid off. On the evening of the third day, Chu Tian sent a carriage to pick him up in a hurry.

The world is changing too fast in the hands of Mao Jue. It has only been half a year since Nanjing was taken, and it has become a bit unrecognizable to Luo Zhen. It was replaced by a five-story I-shape building, which was unprecedentedly tall in this feudal era. It was surrounded by railings, and there were two huge lions squatting at the door. , in the yard, a row of black Magotan official carriages from Liaodong were parked neatly, and there was a majestic atmosphere of the new government at first glance.

He rushed all the way excited like a hozen, but when he really saw those new Ming officials wearing Mao Jue's improved Chinese tunic suits and wearing a stiff face like the king of Hades, Luo Zhen faltered again and shrank behind Chu Tian, Carefully looking inside, he asked worriedly.

"Tian'er, are you really ready? Now I heard that the imperial censor of the Ming Dynasty is very strict in supervision. If anyone who seeks an official position is caught, he will be sent to the Western Regions! What if he is caught?"

"Young master, don't worry, everything has been taken care of. Even if you are caught, it's because of the servant's relationship to buy an official, and it has nothing to do with the young master!"

But this time things seem to be going smoothly, and Chu Tian's voice is also extraordinarily brisk, smiling and kneeling slightly while holding her skirt in front of her: "My lord, let's go with my slave!"

"Good! Go! Go!"

Still having lingering fears, nodding his head, Luo Zhen still shrank behind Chu Tian's spacious skirt.

The world has really changed, and Luo Zhen no longer knows each other. In the past, the county magistrates yawned when they were idle, but now all the officials are busy like grandsons, holding briefcases, wishing to hit the back of the head with their feet, under Mao Jue's hands. It is not easy to be an official. Although there are many officials, the things that can be managed are everything, such as street construction, city appearance, why the economy of the neighborhood has increased by a few percentage points, and there are more than 20 unemployed households in your neighborhood! No way, a censor with a black face came to find trouble immediately, even if the political achievements are busy, you still have to write reports, write development plans, plan how to help the poor, and report to the higher authorities, otherwise the work will not be in place, the district meeting you The leader of the family still has to be criticized, and you will have to cut you later!

Fortunately, in this kind of busyness, no one had the leisure to stare at Chu Tian and the two, allowing them to get to the second floor smoothly.

Sneaking into an empty office, Chu Tian found out a cup of tea for Luo Zhen with ease, let him sit by the table, and at the same time spoke in a rare serious manner.

"Young master, when Lord Wang is here, don't say a word. Whatever document Lord Wang wants you to sign, you sign that quickly. After signing, we have to leave quickly. Don't ask too many questions, or you won't get the official position." Come on, maybe you have to get into trouble!"

"My son knows! Got it!"

Knowing that this matter is not to be seen, Luo Zhen, who has always been twisted, was surprisingly obedient this time, but Chu Tian still gave a few words of worry, and then hastily walked out the door with her skirt in hand.

After Luo Zhen waited anxiously for more than ten minutes like an ant on a hot pot, the door of this office was opened with a creak, leading a man wearing a Zhongshan official robe, but not an official hat, with beautiful hair. Chu Tian, ​​an old official in his 40s on the small half of the Mediterranean Sea, led in with a smiling face.

"Lord Wang, it's him!"

"Extremely extreme! It's him!"
