Chapter 1646: Banquet!
Translator: Lonelytree
The Magistrate of Anding County was still County Magistrate Liu.
This year was his full three-year term, and he was not too sure where he would be transferred to this year.
However, judging from the attitude of his superior’s superior, he would probably be promoted two levels in a row, from a seventh-grade county official to a fifth-grade prefect.
However, he did not know where he would go. He could only wait for the imperial edict to come.
However, no matter where he was, he was lucky.
He had been promoted twice in three years. Many county magistrates might still be in the position of a seventh-rank county magistrate for thirty years.
He had relied on Taoyuan Village and Lin Yuelan, the princess of Guguo, to be promoted from a seventh-grade official to a fifth-grade official. Therefore, he was very grateful.
However, Lin Yuelan’s current identity was different from her identity as a commoner two years ago. He could not see her whenever he wanted to.
Back then, when he used his identity as the county magistrate to observe Taoyuan Village, he even had the thought of snatching the credit.
Later on, he secretly observed Lin Yuelan and realized that she might have a powerful backer. Therefore, he extinguished this thought.
Thinking about it now, he felt a lingering fear.
He did not expect that the man who followed Lin Yuelan back then was the famous Defender General.
If he had really used tricks to snatch the credit from Lin Yuelan, it was very likely that he would have died without even knowing how.
However, since the matter had passed, he had to be more careful in the future.
His three-year term was up, and his promotion was already a certainty.
This time, he took advantage of Lin Mingqings passing of the imperial examinations to come to the Lin Family Village. Firstly, he wanted to thank Lin Yuelan for her help. Secondly, he wanted to make friends with Princess
Guguo.
Lin Yiwei looked at the County Magistrate’s polite tone, and his face was very calm.
In the past two years, officials who were higher than his position had come to him to make friends with him. They wanted to make friends with the princess, so they were especially polite when they spoke to him.
Of course, there were also those who put on airs and threatened him. If he did not introduce them to the princess of the Guguo, they would definitely punish him severely.
Lin Yiwei was not scared.
Lin Yiwei’s family had produced a high school scholar and two scholars in a hundred years. Moreover, they also had officials in the capital. They were not easily shaken and punished.
Moreover, since these people came for Lin Yuelan, they naturally knew that he had a deep relationship with the princess of Guguo. Naturally, they did not dare to touch him easily.
Therefore, even though he was threatened, he still respectfully sent them away.
As a result, they had to think about the consequences if they really wanted to do something.
Lin Yiwei sighed in his heart. He felt like he was misusing his connection to
Lin Yuelan.
However, no matter what, he would not use his relationship with Lin Yuelan to bully others.
However, Lin Yiwei respected the county magistrate in front of him.
This county magistrate was a good official who sincerely served the people. Moreover, he was the only seventh-grade county magistrate who had shown his face in front of the Emperor. Even Lin Yuelan treated him quite well.
Lin Yiwei smiled and replied,” Magistrate, Princess Guguo and the others will be here soon! Please rest for a moment!”
Usually, the big shots were the last to appear.
The return of the High Scholar meant that the banquet was about to begin.
However, everyone knew that there were still a few people who hadn’t arrived, so it was impossible for the banquet to begin.
The moment Lin Niingqing returned, the villagers were in awe of him. They greeted him from afar,” High Scholar!”
Lin Mingqing smiled and responded to them one by one. He was extremely excited and proud!
Two years ago, he was still a cripple lying in bed. Even if his family was respected and his father was a village chief, as long as he went out, he would
be despised, laughed at, and pointed at by the villagers.
At that time, he really felt humiliated and hopeless about life, so he wanted to commit suicide in the middle of the night without telling everyone in his family.
However, he was lucky enough to be saved.
Two years later, he had gone from a cripple to a person who made those who had once looked down on and laughed at him envious and jealous. He had passed the imperial examination and became a High Scholar!
The change in his identity also changed the attitude of these people towards him. They became respectful and fearful of him..
