Chapter 822: Xun Lao's Settlement

Duke Yan smiled and said, "It's fine as long as you make up your mind, Mr. Xun."

If Xun Lao settled in Taifeng Town, Jing Lao would definitely follow him. And if Jing Lao stayed in Taifeng Town, half of the scholars would gather in Northeast Province.

It is of great benefit to the War of Resistance.

At the very least, it would be impossible for them to abandon the city and flee when the East Desert army attacks.

If you dare to do this and target the Shilin people in Northeast Province, your family will never be able to hold their heads up!

Duke Yan was very satisfied with this. He looked at Yan Ji and asked Yan Ji to draft a petition for settlement, and then he signed and put his fingerprint on it.

Old Jing sighed and glared at Jiang Dalang... It was all because of the Qin and Jiang families that the master and he were not included in the household registration documents.

The Lord took away the letter of release, the employment contract, and the petition for settlement, and said, "I will go to the governor's office and get this done quickly."

Although it is a bit funny to go to the Provincial Administration Office to handle such a small matter.

However, the Qin family and Mr. Xun are from Dongming Prefecture, not the capital, so if they want to get things done in one go, it would be best for them to go to the provincial government that governs the entire Northeast Province.

"Master Shi, let's go together." Old Jing was worried and went with Master Shi.

"Please come in, Mr. Jing." Lord Shi was naturally happy to do so. He took Mr. Jing with him, followed by a little helper named Xue Mingyi, and rushed to the Provincial Administration Office together.

Because of the handwriting from Duke Yan, Lord Yan personally helped them get things done.

In less than half an hour, Lord Shi returned with the employment contract stamped with the imperial seal and the freshly issued household registration.

Old Man Xun took a look at the household registration and confirmed that the registered address was Wansong Village, Taifeng Town, Baofu County, Dongming Prefecture, Northeast Province. He then threw the household registration to Jiang Dalang and said, "I'm old and I lose things easily. Young Master, please keep it for me."

Old Jing watched the household registration document fly over his head and instinctively jumped up to grab it, but unfortunately he missed it and it fell into Jiang Dalang's hands.

Mr. Jing was so angry that he almost burst into tears.

Jiang Dalang ignored him and said to Xun Lao: "Don't worry, I will keep it for you."

"Yeah." Old man Xun responded, and said, "I'm going to give acupuncture to Duke Yan. Poor kid, just do what you need to do and don't bother me."

"Master, go with peace of mind. Your disciple will be waiting for you here." Old Jing really was like a child who had just found a home. He was very attached to Old Xun.

Old Xun was too lazy to pay attention to him and went to the second floor to give acupuncture to Duke Yan.

Duke Yan still couldn't eat much, but he slept even more deeply than yesterday.

Surprisingly, the next morning, his appetite improved. After finishing a bowl of liquid food easily, he asked, "Anything else? I'm not full."

Bang!

Eunuch An and Eunuch Ning were so shocked that they knocked things over. They didn't bother to clean up and immediately served Duke Yan a bowl of fresh liquid food: "Duke, please enjoy."

After drinking half a bowl, Yan Zhou frowned slightly, obviously unable to eat anymore, but he eventually finished the remaining half bowl.

The two eunuchs in An Ning looked at him nervously. After more than a quarter of an hour, they burst into tears of joy and said, "Congratulations, Duke."

I didn’t vomit this time. I actually swallowed the food into my stomach.

Please stop talking, Yan Zhou couldn't help frowning again, and that annoying feeling of nausea came again.

"Eat this." Old man Xun handed him a perilla plum.

Yan Zhou ate the perilla quickly, risking spitting it out if he opened his mouth.

result……

"Hmm? This taste is very special and strong, but it suppressed the nausea." Yan Zhou finished speaking and asked, "Anything else?"

Old man Xun held the leather bag at his waist and said, "It's gone. I only brought a little bit with me!"

The yield of Perilla plum is less than that of Perilla apricot, and he didn't get much from his young master's house.

Yan Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask Master Xun for it tomorrow."

Tsk, this kid is really not a good person. He is already eyeing his snacks.

"Actually, you don't need to eat it, because you..." Old man Xun stopped talking again.

Is Duke Yan not sick? Not really. Being sick in the heart is also a disease.

Forget it. Considering that he is a patient, the old man was more generous: "Here, I'll give you another one. There is no more today. I'll give you another one tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Xun." Yan Zhou smiled and ate the newly acquired perilla plum.

"Give me money. I have a bunch of disciples now, so I have to put on a show, so as not to embarrass my disciples." Old man Xun stretched out his hand towards Duke Yan, without any embarrassment at all.

Duke Yan smiled and ordered, "Bring me the gift for Mr. Xun."

"Yes." Eunuch Ning went to get a box and handed it to Elder Xun: "Elder Xun, this is a gift from the Duke. The consultation fee is extra."

Without adding the last four words, the old man would have to emphasize it again, as if he was afraid that the Duke would make his treatment in vain.

Old Man Xun took it and immediately opened it to check: "Hey, Lord Duke, you are too polite. I feel embarrassed to give you so much."

There is one house, one shop and one farm in the capital, Dongming Prefecture and Baofu County.

He also gave him ten silver notes worth one hundred taels, and a handwritten letter... This was a handwritten letter that could be exchanged for gold and silver in full. With this letter, the government's bank had to exchange the one hundred taels of silver notes for ten taels of gold. It could not refuse, and certainly not less!

Wow, he is worthy of being the Duke, he is indeed rich and powerful.

"The handwriting is very good. Thank you, Duke." Old man Xun put the handwriting away separately, intending to show off to his young master after returning home.

That dead girl will definitely be so envious that she won’t be able to sleep.

After all, this thing is extremely precious. The price difference it creates can support your family for three generations. Your young boss must be extremely envious.

Haha, old man, you better be careful, or she might snatch your letter.

"Duke, you are busy. I, an old man, have to get busy too." Old man Xun went downstairs and met old man Jing when he looked up.

"Master!" Master Jing bowed and said, "I, the disciple, pay my respects to you..."

Whoosh, bang!

Old man Xun grabbed a piece of hard soil from the flowerpot and threw it at Old man Jing, hitting him right on the head.

Mr. Jing was confused.

Xue Mingyi: “…”

Old man Xun walked down the wooden stairs, pointed at Old Man Jing and scolded him: "I scolded you yesterday, why don't you change? What's the point of going through all these rotten old customs? What's the point of paying respects? If you have the time, you might as well take a nap, which can help you stay healthy and prolong your life."

"What the master taught is that the apprentice will correct himself... The master always thinks about the apprentice." Lao Qiong was moved and felt that Mr. Xun's last words showed his concern for him.

Mr. Xun looked constipated: "..."

Hahaha, Huang Yanglong almost died of laughter, and said to Xun Lao: "Old man, your apprentice has been hanging out with the people of Taizhou Academy for too long, and he has become twisted. You can't correct him."

Lao Qiong is more generous than other famous teachers, but in the eyes of Master Xun, he is still twisted.

Xun Laodao: "Did you hear what Master Huang said? That's your problem... If you want to let go, then let go completely. Don't be so twisted."

"And Ying Zilin, he is a member of the Ying family, and all the descendants of the Ying family have followed the path of becoming officials with achievements. It can be seen that his family asked him to become your disciple because they want you to get rid of the pedantic Confucian spirit in him so that he can be an official in the future."

"But you are so stubborn yourself, how can you help him get rid of that stubbornness? How can he be an official in the future?"

Huang Yanglong sighed: "I dare not think about Ying Zilin being an official. I am afraid that he has been an official for three years, and the approval documents for various matters are still on the way to the higher government offices."

"Huang Yanglong, what do you mean by this?!" Ying Zilin came to pay his respects to Master Jing, but after hearing what Master Xun said, he began to look at him with a new respect.

But before he could show any kindness to Mr. Xun, Huang Yanglong made some derogatory remarks again, which made him angry.
