Xiao He looked at Li Che in confusion.
If such an outstanding woman were to be taken advantage of by Liu Bang, that would be my greatest failure!
Thinking of this, Li Che looked at Xiao He and said,""In two days, I will head to the Qi Chu Land. When I pass by Pei County, I want to see the heavenly beauty you mentioned!”
Xiao He's face revealed a joyful expression."May I ask if you have any intention of taking a concubine?”
"I don't have the heart to take a concubine!"
When Xiao He heard this, his joy dissipated.
"I haven't married yet, so how can I take in concubines?”
Li Che said something else, and Xiao He was overjoyed. His face was filled with excitement,""Lord Li, Xiao He can guarantee with his life that the two women of the Lu Family are extremely beautiful. Although Xiao He has never seen a woman from Xianyang, he can guarantee that if you are willing to marry the two women of the Lu Family, it will be a blessing in your life!”
Xiao He was also a bold man. When he heard that Li Che was not married, he immediately expressed his feelings. In his opinion, even if Lord Li did not take the two women of the Lu family as his main wife, it would be an honor to have them as concubines.
Moreover, if Lord Li marries the daughter of Pei County's Lu family, then my relationship with Lord Li will take a step forward. It's just a matter of time before I rise to the top!
After the banquet, Xiao He cupped his hands and said to Li Che,""Lord Li, please give me an order to send a letter to Pei County to appease the elders.”
"Fine, take it. With this token, you can order the officers of the Supreme Court and all the jailers in Nine Regions to check the cases in Nine Regions.”
Li Che handed the token to Xiao He. From today on, Xiao He would be Li Che's secretary and follow Li Che around. He would give Li Che advice and perfect the government decrees. If Li Che was not around, Xiao He would be responsible for handling the government decrees.
When Xiao He received the token, he was so excited that his hands trembled!
After Xiao He grabbed the token, he knelt down and said,""I, Xiao He, will repay you with my life. You have given me a new lease of life!”
Kneeling was a form of social etiquette in the Zhou Dynasty. According to the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty, scholars usually sat on the ground and kowtowed to each other. This was the most important etiquette among the nine bows.
Now, Xiao He was kowtowing to Li Che as a sign of loyalty.
Xiao He and Li Che had just met, and Li Che had given him so much power and trust. How could Xiao He not be touched? At this moment, Xiao He wanted to immediately make some achievements to repay Li Che's kindness.
After Li Che helped Xiao He up, he said,"" From now on, I will address you as Minister Xiao. I hope that one day, I can address you as Prime Minister Xiao…"
Xiao He's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. He waved his hand repeatedly and said,"Lord Li, you can't joke around with me!”
As the official position of Xiao He, the magistrate was in charge of the official seal of the Supreme Court. Although the official position of the magistrate was not very high, it was very important.
As for the prime minister, he was the prime minister with the most power below the emperor.
Li Si's official position was Prime Minister, and he had immense power.
How could Xiao He dare to think about the position of prime minister?
After Li Che handed the token to Xiao He, he asked him to rest. Li Che returned to his residence to rest. He would submit the complete Qin law to the court tomorrow, just like how the King of Qin resigned and went to the land of Qi and Chu to preside over the construction of the money house.
Li Che believed that the King of Qin wanted to establish a bank more than anyone else. Two days ago, the King of Qin sent Zhao Gao to urge Li Che to enter the palace to submit the completed laws of Qin. However, Li Che refused to enter the palace on the grounds that the laws of Qin were not complete. This made the King of Qin scratch his ears and cheeks, but he did not dare to urge him anymore.
Of course, one of the reasons Li Che went to Qi Chu to build the bank was because he also wanted to go to Pei County to see what kind of woman Xiao He was talking about.
A woman like Lu Zhi.
He couldn't let Liu Bang, this old fellow, get away with it…
……
After Li Che returned to his mansion, Xiao He didn't go anywhere else; instead, he wrote a letter to his family in the Supreme Court.
He wrote this letter to Master Lu. After he came to Xianyang City, he did not slack off on the matters that Elder Lu had instructed him to do. Now, he had found a talented person for Master Lu. This person was 24 years old and worked with Xiao He.
Xiao He was very obscure in the letter.
He didn't dare to write that the matchmaker was the nine ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty. If he had said it clearly in the letter, it would have frightened the Lu family. If the Lu family was afraid and married their daughter off, then Xiao He would be in big trouble.
If it was said in the book that this person worked with Xiao He, regardless of the official position, the Lu family would subconsciously think that this person had a similar official position as Xiao He. They were neither too big nor too small, and they were a match of equal status.
Moreover, Xiao He was very reliable. With Xiao He's guarantee, the Lu family could only wait for good news.
Xiao He did it very carefully; because it was the first thing he did after entering the Supreme Court.
If he couldn't handle it well, even if the chief justice didn't blame him, he would despise him.
After writing the letter, Xiao He gave it to the messenger of the Supreme Court and told the messenger to fly to Pei County and deliver the letter to the county government. He told the county magistrate that Xiao He had already taken office in the Supreme Court and was safe. He had to send his family members to Xianyang right away.
……
Although Xiao He had been gone for eight or nine days, Pei County was still in an uproar.
The matter of Lord Xiao becoming an official in Xianyang was a major event in the village. In the county government, whenever the county officials mentioned Xiao He, they would give him a thumbs up.
I already knew that Lord Xiao was a dragon and phoenix in the pool. It was impossible for him to stay in Pei County. Lord Xiao must have made a meteoric rise!
"Yes, yes. I watched Xiao He grow up and knew that this child was extraordinary.”The village chief leaned on his walking stick, his face filled with joy.
Xiao He was from Pei County. Now that he was an official in Xianyang, they were also proud. After chatting with the people of Lin County, they couldn't help but praise Xiao He.
The Lu family was also waiting anxiously.
"Who knows if Lord Xiao has arrived at Xianyang and if he has taken the matter entrusted by the Lu family to heart.”
"Has Lord Xiao thought about this matter?”
Old Man Lu's heart was in a mess. He knew that Xiao He had just arrived in Xianyang and could only find a good son-in-law for him after he settled down.
However, his two daughters 'ages did not wait for anyone.
Three days after Xiao He left, Old Master Lu fell ill with typhoid fever. When he was bedridden, he always muttered,"" My two daughters are pitiful. They can't find a suitable husband. Sigh…"
The two sons of the Lu family saw their father's sadness. The two brothers discussed and finally decided to find a good marriage for Lu Zhi as soon as possible, understanding their father's wish.
Lu Zhi was already nineteen years old this year. In a few months, he would be twenty years old. He was already old and could not delay any longer. He should settle the marriage as soon as possible.
The two sons of the Lu family found the elders of the Pei County and asked the old patriarch of the Pei County to find a good marriage for the two young ladies of the Lu family. The Lu family was willing to give them a heavy dowry...
