Chapter 587
Pei An nodded slightly, "The Minister of Personnel Yu Congming asked Lord Jiang about it. The Ministry of Personnel still needs a chief official. If I can go, and if I get a good performance in the examination in one year, I can be sent out to be a prefect."
"Governor?"
Song Guanzhou hesitated for a moment, "What if he is sent directly from the Imperial Academy?"
Pei An paused for a moment, "…If he continues to stay in the Hanlin Academy, it will be fine. If he is sent out, he will be appointed by the Ministry of Personnel to be a county magistrate at most. If he is sent to a wealthy place, he will be a county magistrate at most."
It is very likely that even a seventh-rank county magistrate cannot be appointed.
Song Guanzhou raised his eyes and said, "So, if you go to the Ministry of Personnel for further study for a year, with your talent and character, you can be sent out to become a prefect. From this point of view, it is definitely suitable for you to go to the Ministry of Personnel."
"only--"
Pei An's hand rubbing his shoulder also slowed down, "In this case, we will have to stay in the capital for another year next year. You have been dreaming of going out with me, and I thought that if not, you can go through the Imperial Academy examination and go out in the spring."
I?
Song Guanzhou's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes inexplicably turned cold. "...I'm fine." She sighed almost inaudibly, "If I get tired of staying in the capital, I'll go to Jiangzhou. If I stay at the Xiao family with my uncle and aunt, Jin Fuyun won't be able to follow me there."
Hearing this, Pei An leaned down, looked at his wife's beautiful face, and stared at the reaction on Song Guanzhou's face.
"How can you abandon me? Madam, you are wrong. You and I cannot be separated as husband and wife." Pei Anyu held Song Guanzhou's hand with deep affection. "Lord Lin only asked privately, and I have not yet answered. If you tell me, it is also a discussion between husband and wife."
Song Guanzhou lightly lifted his hair and said, "Go to the Ministry of Personnel. Water flows to the lower places and people go to the higher places. If you are sent out to other places, it will be more difficult to work step by step from being a county magistrate. The starting point is higher. After working in the capital for a year and having some connections, it will be easier to act in the local areas."
What's more, the head of the Ministry of Personnel has come to ask for someone, and there is no reason to refuse the olive branch that has been handed to him.
Pei An sat down next to Song Guanzhou's back, "Guanzhou, to be honest, this is a rare opportunity, and I have weighed the pros and cons, but when I think of you being disturbed by Jin Fuyun in the capital, I think it's better to leave early. County magistrate, if you can work diligently, good food will come soon."
"Don't!"
Song Guanzhou turned around in his arms and waved his slender hand.
"The future is important. Whether it's Jiangzhou or Jiuxian, hiding away for three to five months a year will be over. Besides, now that Diewu and Dieyi have come to me, I appreciate Silang's intentions for me, but I can't be careless before the big things in the future."
As soon as Song Guanzhou finished speaking, Pei An held her oval face with both hands and looked carefully at any expression on her face.
"My wife, you are not allowed to say anything against your will to your husband."
Song Guanzhou chuckled and laughed, "Why would I be reluctant? Even a fool would know how to choose. If you weren't so talented, the Minister of Personnel wouldn't have found the Hanlin Academy. You have a calm mind and are well-educated. It wouldn't be appropriate for you to just be an editor and a reader in the Hanlin Academy."
Above the rank of tutor, one also holds a high position of power.
Being around the emperor, the invisible power should not be underestimated, but Song Guanzhou looked at Pei An and said, "You should go to the Ministry of Personnel for training, and then be sent out to do some meritorious services for the local people. This will serve as a foundation for your rapid rise to prominence and stability in the future."
Song Guanzhou was still greatly influenced by modern Chinese political thought. She looked Pei An in the eye and said, "Your life will definitely be extraordinary, but I don't wish for you to be extremely powerful. I just hope you can do more practical things for the people."
At this moment, Pei An's heart seemed to be swept away by a huge wave.
His heart was surging with excitement. Looking at the woman who was speaking seriously in front of him, he suddenly felt proud and said, "Guan Zhou looked at me so highly. It was beyond Pei Si's expectation."
Overestimated?
In the original novel, Pei An is very good, and this is a reality that cannot be underestimated or ignored. If Song Guanzhou used to see Pei An only through the original plot or cold words, now that the two have been married for nearly a year, she can see clearly.
Song Guanzhou is not an ordinary girl. She had rich experience in her previous life. Even if it was a despicable person like Jin Fuyun, she would not deny that as a woman, that bastard's abilities and methods were indeed powerful.
Not to mention that the person in front of her is her man.
"Silang, thank you for thinking of me. No matter who makes the decision, my future is the most important." At this point, she leaned over and looked, "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. I specially asked Dieyi and Diewu to return to the Qin Mansion to spend a reunion with her fellow apprentices. They will return to me tomorrow, and they will protect me from now on. Jin Fuyun is just a woman in the boudoir after all. If she wants to harm me again, I'm afraid she won't have the chance."
Song Guanzhou patted Pei An's hand lightly, and that was all he had to say.
"Thank you, madam."
Thank you? No need. Not to mention an old couple, even if they were in love, Song Guanzhou would not put himself in front of Pei An and let him give up his future to please him.
Only a fool would take the risk.
What's more, Song Guanzhou looked at Pei An, feeling a little bitter in her heart. The man in front of her was the most outstanding person she had ever seen in her two lives. But if it didn't matter between life and death, she would abandon Pei An without hesitation.
I am cold-hearted myself, so why should I owe anything to others?
Pei An was unaware of this, he was only thinking about his virtuous wife. His words for the sake of the common people almost hit the nail on the head as he had studied hard since childhood and wanted to achieve his ambition after passing the imperial examination.
He had never told this to anyone before, but the woman in front of him said it sincerely. How could he not be shocked?
Holding Song Guanzhou in his arms, he buried his head in the crook of his wife's shoulder, smelling the charming fragrance, and was almost filled with joy to the core.
"Guan Zhou, don't worry, I will never let you fall into danger like the Long En Temple again."
Song Guanzhou didn't want to talk about this anymore. The ending was already decided. She gently pushed Pei An and said, "Don't be so annoying. I have to wash and dress up. I can't keep Second Aunt waiting for too long."
She wanted to get up, but the man was aroused and held her slender waist and lifted her to her knees, clinging to her tightly.
"Miss-"
Song Guanzhou rolled his eyes and looked up at the sky. "Pei Si, you and I have a long life together. Even if you love me to the core, you have to hide it and express it slowly. Otherwise, if you suddenly stop loving me one day, I won't be able to bear it."
puff!
Pei An laughed at her shoulder, "I don't know how other couples get along, but looking at my father and mother, they are always at loggerheads with each other. Looking at my second brother and his wife, they are not in love with each other. But looking at you and me, I feel that marrying Guan Zhou is a blessing."
"Alright, alright, Pei Jizhan, you don't have to tell me that you love me. Your wife won't buy it." After saying that, he pushed Pei An away, jumped off his knees, and called Rendong to serve him.
Honeysuckle's voice came from the courtyard. Song Guanzhou turned around and saw Pei An's handsome face was calm and composed. His beautiful and deep eyes were full of love that was about to overflow.
She thought to herself, this moment is great.
Song Guanzhou walked up to Pei An, bowed his head slightly, kissed Pei An lightly on the corner of his lips, and whispered, "Cherish the present, Silang."
