Chapter 265: Poor family, orphans, and many sufferings

The sky gradually darkened.

The candlelight flickered, and the mountain pen holder cast a long oblique shadow on the long table, and the ink that had not yet dried reflected white light.

"I always feel that something is missing..."

Xu Yuelong looked at the small words on the recommendation form, flipped through them word by word, and confirmed that the wording and sentence structure were correct, but the feeling of missing still lingered in his heart.

"Strange..."

He picked up the comparison between Ran Zhongshi and Xiang Fangsu in front of him.

There is no difference in content and form.

Introducing merits and abilities, and giving some praises are routine and conventional writing methods. Recommendation letters and request forms should be written in this way.

But when it comes to Liang Qu, it always feels incomplete.

What is missing?

Xu Yuelong frowned and pondered, and inadvertently looked at the word "zhuo luo bu fan", which means outstanding talent and virtue.

Outstanding talent and virtue.

Talent, virtue...

Xu Yuelong suddenly realized, he put down the album, lifted his sleeves and continued to write and lick the ink.

"He started from humble beginnings, was poor, was orphaned at an early age, and suffered from many illnesses. Once a neighbor helped him..., he repaid him with a spring of gratitude...

He was kind and generous, and was well-known in Pingyang County. He was once the chief priest, and all the people in the surrounding villages admired him..."

After adding more than 200 words, Xu Yuelong put down his brush and read it through. He no longer felt any regrets.

This is the only way to complete it.

He wrote less in the recommendation form. Xiang Fangsu and his gang didn't have any humble beginnings and few illnesses.

If you want to repay a favor, you must first have done it.

Who can do a favor to the son of a marquis or earl?

I can't write it at all.

I wrote down as I was used to, and for a moment I didn't remember that Liang Qu was different from them. He really had something to write about in terms of virtue, and used examples from reality as evidence.

Apart from anything else, just being the chief priest was a big plus.

One of the legitimate reasons for the successor of the current dynasty was that the previous emperor had asked him to be the chief priest of the ancestral temple and preside over the sacrifices. This is evident.

"It seems that he can really jump two levels..."

Promotions are not uncommon, but Liang Qu is still too young.

He is said to be a seventh-rank official, but after an assessment by the Ministry of Personnel, he will most likely only be given a seventh-rank official, a promotion of one level.

Xu Yuelong has been influenced by this since he was a child, and he is relatively clear about the official department.

Being too young is a disadvantage for promotion. It is not intentional, but it is the reality. It is difficult to convince the public when you are too young.

If you don't have hair on your mouth, you can't do things well.

When you go to a clinic to see a doctor, the older the doctor is, the more popular he is. It is best if he has a big, white beard. He must be a miracle doctor.

Being old means stability and rich experience.

If you want to make an exception, you can only be excellent enough to make up for the disadvantage of age.

Morality and talent are both good, and morality comes before talent.

It would be difficult for Liang Qu to skip a rank just by merit, but Xu Yuelong would make up for the moral part, so it was no longer a luxury.

The gap between the seventh rank and the seventh rank is not small.

As the saying goes, the seventh rank is a small official, and those below the seventh rank are not even small officials.

The ninth rank, the eighth rank, and even the seventh rank are no different from the errand officials. The power they hold is only worthy of praise compared to ordinary people.

Before Dashun, those below the seventh rank were not even included in the register of the Ministry of Personnel, and were directly promoted and appointed by local officials.

Except for special places like Pingyang County, most other county magistrates are only the seventh rank, and only when they reach this rank can they be considered to have real access to power.

"This kid, I have to ask him to treat me to a meal."

Xu Yuelong shook his head and laughed, confirmed that the ink on the paper was dry, and closed the book.

Liang Qu didn't know what Xu Yuelong was doing. At this time, he was soaking in the big swamp, exploring whether there were any lost treasures around.

He had already started to go into the water while waiting for the black fog to dissipate, but he was busy moving supplies after the black fog dissipated the past two days, so he stopped for a few days. Now he came out to be lazy again, exploring whether there are any treasures or treasures nearby.

There are no good things near the island, mostly corpses, leftovers left by golden and silver sharks, and many small fish that ate the leftovers were raised, but there are no big treasures at all.

It is estimated that the works are all eaten up by the ghost mother as grass in the nest.

Today, Liang Qu finally found some time, and swam out more than 20 miles at a time to explore farther places, trying to find treasures.

As a result, there was little harvest in the whole afternoon.

Only three fat and heavy treasure fish were caught, which belonged to the species that had not been seen much and could not be named.

One of them was scarlet all over, and had a red hairy tail on its buttocks, which was quite strange.

It reminded Liang Qu of a treasure fish that he pinched casually when he became a disciple. It was also scarlet all over and had a cow tail. He didn't expect it to really exist.

There are all kinds of things in the world.

Bring it back to the master to stew, to prove that what he said back then was true.

The water is full of vegetation and the waves are flowing.

Liang Qu's golden eyes are like torches, and he is sitting on a big crocodile that he has temporarily controlled, holding a fish basket.

He looked around, and saw that the light under the water was getting dimmer and dimmer. He knew that it was getting dark, so he stopped dawdling and went home.

There are many treasures in the big marsh, but the area is really large, and it is still very difficult to find good treasures.

So far, the only big goods containing the essence of the marsh that Liang Qu has found by himself should be the sturgeon monster and the old giant clam.

Others, such as the two-life flower and the withered and flourishing lotus, are all obtained directly or indirectly through the channels of the river and lake.

"It still depends on the vast ocean."

Liang Qu floated to the surface with the fish basket, identified the direction, and used the water leap to quickly move towards the direction of the island.

I am really not used to the days without the help of fat catfish and other water beasts. I have to do everything myself, and my efficiency has dropped a lot.

The progress of martial arts has slowed down a lot, and the thunder talisman has not yet condensed the last talisman orifice.

I hope that the river and lake can completely clean up the head and tail in the next two days and return as soon as possible.

Liangqu jumped all the way and shook off the pursuit of the two monsters.

The eaves of the building ship appeared on the water. He turned around and went around the center of two uninhabited islands from underwater, and found a small boat that was towed to the island before.

Bathing in the sunset, rowing back.

Three suns are connected, stretching across the west of the big lake. The light golden edge is inlaid on the boundary between the water and the sky, which is a bit dazzling.

But the sunset can't suppress the light of the stars. Seven iron-blue stars rise from under the water, shining with cold light, like a newly sharpened iron sword.

At the moment when the two intersect, the sunset takes away the last afterglow, and the night covers Liangqu like a curtain.

The red light dissipated, and the long-silent Ze Ding suddenly trembled.

The emperor's portrait, which occupies a large area on the tripod, bursts with light, triggering resonance among the surrounding gods and water apes.

[Obtain a ray of red air, if it is combined with the essence of ten thousand water marshes, a spirit fish will be born, which can be sublimated and favored. ]

Liang Qu: “?”

Red air?

Where did the red air come from?

He looked up at the horizon, the red glow that remained in the night.

Could it be the sun?

The benefits brought by the Binghuo Sun anomaly?

But it has been ten days, why did it come today?

A lot of information flashed through Liang Qu’s mind at once, but there was no key clue, and he couldn’t grasp it, so he had to focus on sublimation and favor.

The so-called spirit fish can actually sublimate and favor!

Liang Qu has received quite a lot of favors so far, Yinglong, Tianwu, and Chuanzhu Emperor, a total of three.

I have never had the opportunity to upgrade my favor before, but I never thought I would meet it today.

So…

Which of the three favors should I choose?

Liang Qu couldn’t help but put his eyes on Chuanzhu Emperor.

Erlang Zhenjun!
