The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

Dong's mother was about to lie down and take a nap on the bed when she heard the noise outside getting closer and closer. She looked at her son in confusion.

"Yuan'er, is there someone's wedding going on out there? It's such a joyous occasion."

Dong Zhuoyuan's face was also full of confusion. "I haven't heard of anyone getting married around here. I'll go out and take a look. Mom, you should get some sleep first."

"Hey, good."

At this time, Dong Zhuoyuan's wife Li Lan pushed open the door and looked at her husband inside.

After calming down her excitement, her eyes became brighter than before, "Husband, you got it, you got it."

"bingo!"

Dong's mother, who was originally planning to lie down and rest, no longer had the heart to rest and sat up from the bed.

Because of the intense emotional ups and downs, he started coughing violently.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuoyuan hurriedly patted his mother's back.

After the coughing subsided a bit, Dong's mother looked at Li Lan at the door, her eyes filled with anxiety: "Lan'er, did you say Yuan'er passed the exam? Did he get a position? What is it?"

Li Lan was stunned by the question and shook her head.

"My daughter-in-law didn't know. She was washing clothes in the courtyard just now when she heard the noise. She went outside to take a look and saw a team of people announcing the good news coming towards us with music and drums."

When Dong's mother heard this, she stood up hurriedly, took her son's hand and was about to walk outside.

Seeing his mother so excited, Dong Zhuoyuan felt a little helpless, "Mom, you are still sick now, my wife and I can go out."

Li Lan also came over to support Dong's mother, "Yes, mother, you can't be exposed to the wind with your illness, so just lie on the bed."

Dong's mother broke free from her son and daughter-in-law's hands and said, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Let's not keep the adults outside waiting. Let's get out quickly."

Dong's father died early, and Dong Zhuoyuan was raised by Dong's mother.

In this world, it is not easy for a woman to raise a child.

Therefore, Dong's mother has a rather impetuous and even aggressive temperament.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade his mother, Dong Zhuoyuan had no choice but to let her go.

When the three of them went out, the group of people playing music just arrived in front of the Dong family's door, and there were many villagers standing around to join in the fun.

The person who led the team to report the good news to Dong Zhuoyuan was Duan Yao. He was a bit naughty when he was young, and when he grew up, he followed his father to deliver escorts everywhere.

So, I am very familiar with the area around here.

Duan Yao looked at the three people who came out. If she didn't know that the man in front of her was a village chief, she would have thought he was from a poor family.

The three of them were wearing clothes that were patched with countless patches. They looked skinny and it was obvious that they had not had a full meal.

Dong's mother was afraid that talking would spread the disease to the adults, so she could only pinch her son secretly to make him speak quickly.

Feeling the pain in his waist, Dong Zhuoyuan took a step forward, looked at the team leader Duan Yao, and saluted.

"grown ups."

"No need to be polite."

Afraid of recognizing the wrong person, Duan Yao asked again, "You are Dong Zhuoyuan, right?"

"It's down."

Duan Yao took out the letter of appointment and said, "You have achieved outstanding results in this examination and topped the list. The Lord hereby appoints you as the magistrate of Qingyun County."

"County Magistrate?!"

The people watching the excitement around were all shocked by what they heard, and stared at Dong Zhuoyuan who seemed a little out of shape with wide eyes.

"From now on, Dong Lizheng will be the county magistrate?"

"Yes, that's what the gentleman said."

"That's great! From now on, our Lord Justice will be Magistrate Dong."

After Dong Zhuoyuan realized what was happening, he immediately took the letter of appointment.

"Thank you, my lord, for your grace."

He originally thought he would fail the exam.

After all, the questions he answered were inconsistent with the current mainstream, which is all about stability.

But he couldn't cater to it.

Just like most officials today exploit the people, engage in corruption, and squeeze the people’s wealth.

Neither can he.

After Dong Zhuoyuan received the letter of appointment, Duan Yao took out a wooden box and handed it to him, "This is the official seal. Please take office in three days."

Dong Zhuoyuan took it with both hands, "Yes."

Only then did Dong's mother come back to her senses from the sudden surprise and no longer cared whether the disease would be passed on to the adults.

She hurriedly looked at her daughter-in-law, "Lan'er, go get some silver for the adults."

This rule cannot be ignored.

Li Lan responded quickly and ran into the house with a happy smile.

Seeing this, Duan Yao hurriedly stopped him and said, "No need, there's no need to give the reward."

When Dong's mother heard this, how could she not give the reward silver? "That's fine, I still want it."

"Aunt Dong, we receive our master's monthly salary, and this is what we should do."

Duan Yao looked at Dong Zhuoyuan, who was still a little excited. "However, I hope that County Magistrate Dong can always maintain his original intention and work for the people in the future."

"I will never forget my original aspiration. I will remain loyal to my lord and serve the people for the rest of my life."

Duan Yao nodded in satisfaction, "Then we'll be leaving first. County Magistrate Dong, remember to take office in three days."

After Duan Yao and his group left, the villagers excitedly gathered around and congratulated them with sincere smiles on their faces.

"Congratulations, County Magistrate Dong."

"Hahaha, congratulations, County Magistrate Dong. I'm the first one to agree with you becoming the county magistrate."

……

Three days later.

All vacant positions have been filled.

A new official starts with three things.

All the officials were busy.

Land surveying officials shuttled through the fields, measuring the land.

The recruiting officials also took action and began to recruit large numbers of soldiers in the county.

Someone also took over the household registration that had been sloppily registered before, modified it, and kept it in different categories.

Everything became well organized.

The entire county town is like a bamboo shoot nourished by the spring rain, growing higher and higher.

It shows a thriving and prosperous state.

It was at this time that the county magistrate Dong Zhuoyuan was summoned by the lord.

Dong Zhuoyuan got on the carriage and headed to Yun Mansion with a nervous heart.

I don't know why my lord has summoned me this time.
