Chapter 15 Zhengshan is also a sentimental person

Touching the bamboo leaves embroidered on the cotton-padded jacket, Lu Songhe sighed softly, "You are so thoughtful!"

He blamed the original body for not taking good care of his daughter, but he also understood that the original body had no choice. After all, the original body was tortured by hidden injuries and was powerless.

If you want to blame someone, blame him for not losing face and regretting this marriage.

He was dissatisfied with Yang Zhengshan as a son-in-law, but he did not really resent Yang Zhengshan.

In fact, although the original body and his wife lived in poverty, they had a very good relationship. They had been together for 20 years and had never had any major conflicts except for occasional quarrels.

"This is what we should do!" Yang Zhengshan helped Lu Songhe put on the cotton-padded jacket.

The size was very suitable. Although the fabric was just ordinary cotton cloth, it was made very carefully. Obviously, Yang Yunyan put her heart into it.

"I heard that your injury has healed?" Lu Songhe said nonchalantly.

"Well, it's healed, but..." Yang Zhengshan showed a sad face.

He was not pretending. He really felt sad, but the reason for his sadness was not the original body's wife.

He was a good young man, and he came to this world to be a grandfather. What if he was healthy? He was no longer his young body.

Thinking that he had aged ten years inexplicably, he felt bitter as if he had eaten bitter herbs.

However, he had been in this world for a month and a half, and he had actually accepted these hardships. However, facing his cheap father-in-law, he had to show his sadness for his deceased wife.

"Forget it, Qing'er is unlucky. You still have children. You should take good care of them in the future!" Seeing him so miserable, Lu Songhe's dissatisfaction in his heart also dissipated a lot, and he comforted him instead.

Yang Zhengshan breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still slightly sad.

I am so miserable!

Woo, thinking about the carefree days I used to live, my heart is bitter and sour.

Back then, I was also a little green dragon in the bar bathhouse, but now I am a father and a grandfather, woo, I can't be wild anymore.

Suddenly thinking of those happy days, Yang Zhengshan's eyes were red.

He missed the charming figure under the lights and wine, the long legs walking on the street, and the warm little hands in the bath.

Seeing him like this, Lu Songhe's heart softened.

Alas, Zhengshan is also an affectionate person!

He misunderstood, but it was not a misunderstanding. Yang Zhengshan was indeed an affectionate person, but the object of his affection was those happy days.

He was affectionate not to a person, but to the sea.

Yang Zhengshan secretly glanced at Lu Songhe, and seeing his gentle expression, he immediately felt that the performance was almost done, and hurriedly restrained the sad look on his face, but said with a forced smile: "Dad, the day before yesterday, bandits attacked Jiangjia Village, and I killed the leader of the bandits, Scar Liu."

"The county government has a reward of three hundred taels of silver for Scar Liu, this matter..."

He did not say the rest of the words, but waited for Lu Songhe's reaction.

The purpose of his coming today was not just to build a relationship with Lu Songhe, but also to ask Lu Songhe for advice.

Although he should get the three hundred taels of reward silver for killing Scar Liu, he didn't know if there was any trick behind it, nor did he know whether the county government would really fulfill its promise.

He didn't care whether he could get the reward silver or not. Anyway, he was not short of money now. He was mainly afraid that this matter would bring disaster to the Yang family.

It's not that he is too careful, but this is not the world before, nor is it the society with good law and order before.

He is a newcomer, so it's always better to be cautious.

"You killed Scar Liu!" Lu Songhe said in surprise.

"Yeah!" Yang Zhengshan nodded.

Lu Songhe's eyes widened a little, "I heard that he is very powerful."

"He is very powerful, but a little worse than me." Yang Zhengshan said.

Lu Songhe looked him up and down, and said thoughtfully: "This is a good thing. The reward is not important. What's important is that this matter can make Lord Luo pay attention to you!"

"What do you think?"

Yang Zhengshan shook his head, "I know very little about the county government, and I don't know what to think for a while."

Lu Songhe stroked his gray beard and nodded slightly.

"Lord Luo is a capable person. It's your luck to be in his eyes. But if you want to seek an official position, you still need to plan it carefully!"

Warriors can also be officials. In the army, as long as they are warriors, they can be promoted after joining the army for about a year and become grassroots officers such as general flags and generals.

In the local area, warriors can be some assistants or miscellaneous officials, such as county magistrates, patrol inspectors, post station magistrates, and head constables.

What kind of official can be specific depends on the operation. Assistant officials like county magistrates cannot be decided by the county government, and many relationships need to be passed through.

The position of county magistrate is not something Yang Zhengshan can think of now. In fact, he likes the position of patrol inspector very much. Although the patrol inspector is only a ninth-rank official position, the patrol inspector has his own yamen, and there are dozens or hundreds of soldiers under his command, and the responsibilities and powers are not small.

Anning County is close to the northern border, and three patrol inspection offices have been established. Compared with the county magistrate, the position of patrol inspector is easier to obtain.

However, this is just Yang Zhengshan's idea. Whether it can be achieved depends on whether Lu Songhe has a way.

"There is no rush for this matter. Let me ask Dalang first!" Lu Songhe thought for a moment and said.

He naturally wanted to help Yang Zhengshan get a position. After all, Yang Zhengshan is his own son-in-law, and the children of the Yang family are his grandchildren. Helping Yang Zhengshan is to help him get his deceased daughter.

Before, Yang Zhengshan had no ability and no opportunity, so he naturally would not have such thoughts, but now that Yang Zhengshan has the opportunity, he must help.

Yang Zhengshan is not in a hurry, he just has such an idea, not that he must seek an official position.

If there is a chance, he will try his best to fight for it. If he fails to fight for it, he will not be too disappointed.

At noon, Yang Zhengshan stayed at the Lu family for dinner.

Lu Songhe has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son Lu Zhaoqi works as a prefect in the county government, and the second son Lu Zhaoran is responsible for managing the family's fields. The Lu family's fields are not dozens of acres, but hundreds of acres. They are definitely gentry landlords.

In addition, Lu Songhe has four grandsons, Lu Wenchun, Lu Wenjie, Lu Wenhua, and Lu Wenyuan. Among them, Lu Wenyuan is the best student. He is sixteen years old this year and has become a student. If nothing unexpected happens, he should participate in the college examination next year.

However, Yang Zhengshan did not see Lu Wenyuan today. Lu Wenyuan studied in the academy in the county and rarely returned to Qinghe Town.

The Lu family was very considerate of Yang Zhengshan, the son-in-law. The younger generations respected him very much and did not make things difficult for him or look down on him.

So the lunch was very lively. Yang Zhengshan also drank a few glasses of wine with Lu Zhaoran. When he left the Lu family, his steps were a little shaky.
