After hearing the commoners 'story, Su Yan could not help but frown.
He looked at the young man and his old mother. Just as he was about to get someone to help them up, an option appeared in front of him.
1. Help Du Ji save his mother. Reward: Favorable impression of Du Ji 50. Slightly increases reputation and charm.
2. He left Du Ji and his son in the lurch. Reward: A hundred taels of gold.
Su Yan was stunned when he saw the two options.
After thinking for a moment, he made a decision and walked towards the mother and son.
In the crowd, the old woman sat on the ground.
Looking at her anxious son beside her, she forced a smile and said,"Son, it's all Mother's fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have suffered such a great sin.”
She looked at Du Ji, her eyes full of love, but also filled with endless pain.
"Mother, don't say anymore. Save your strength. I'll go find a doctor to treat you. You'll be fine soon.”
The young Du Ji looked at his mother's haggard appearance and said anxiously.
"Stop looking. Where do we get the money to see a doctor? Just let me go like this."
The old woman shook her head and smiled.
"It's all my son's incompetence that caused my mother to suffer with me.”
Du Ji shook his head.
"Who dares to say that my son is useless?" The old woman became excited when she heard this.
"My son achieved success at a young age. He was promoted to filial piety and honesty at a young age, then became the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, and then the governor of Hanzhong Prefecture. Who doesn't respect and admire him?”
When the old woman mentioned her son, her mouth became sharp.
"Mother, it's all in the past. Why mention it again? Take care of yourself."
Du Ji shook his head.
"Who said that? Cough cough!"
The old woman was about to argue, but her body couldn't hold it anymore and started coughing again. Du Ji quickly stroked her back and comforted her.
"My son is talented, but he didn't give birth to any descendants for my Du family. This is what I'm most worried about.”
"How can I face your father after I go down?”
The old woman sighed bitterly as she calmed down.
"Mother, it's all my fault.”
Du Ji's face was filled with bitterness, but he did not know what to say.
"Sir's filial piety is truly admirable!”
At this moment, Su Yan's voice sounded from the side.
Du Ji turned his head and saw the handsome Su Yan in a blue robe walking over with a smile on his face.
"May I know who this young master is?"
Because Su Yan looked too young, Du Ji addressed him as Young Master.
"I am Su Yan, also known as Zi Yang. I am from Zhuo County and am currently the county magistrate of Zhuo County.”
Su Yan laughed.
"So it's County Magistrate Su. Greetings, Lord Su.”
Du Ji hurriedly stood up and bowed, but Su Yan supported him.
"No need to be so polite. Marquis Du Bo's filial piety has touched the heavens.”
Su Yan smiled and said,"Why don't you bring your mother to the county government to rest? I'll invite a doctor to treat her."”
"This…"
Du Ji was a little hesitant. He looked at his sick mother and gritted his teeth."Thank you, Magistrate.”
"Haha, no need to be so polite."
Su Yan smiled and helped Du Ji help the old woman onto the carriage before rushing towards the county office.
After arriving at the county government office, he ordered Xiao Yu to go and invite a doctor. Then, together with Du Ji, they helped the old woman to the side room to rest.
At the same time, the system's voice sounded in his mind.
"Ding! You have chosen to help Du Ji save his mother. Du Ji's favorability 50. Master's reputation and charm have increased slightly.”
After a while, the doctor was called over.
He checked the old woman's pulse and said,""Your mother is only infected with a cold. Because she has been ill for a long time, her body is weak. She will be fine after taking some medicine.”
"However, you can't travel too much. I'm afraid your mother's body won't be able to withstand it.”
"Thank you, doctor."
Du Ji bowed and thanked him.
The doctor waved his hand and Su Yan asked Xiao Yu to follow the doctor to the clinic to prescribe medicine.
After the doctor left, Su Yan and Du Ji came to the courtyard.
"Thank you, County Magistrate, for your help. Du Ji will never forget this kindness!"”
"Get up!"
Su Yan helped him up and then pulled him to sit down in the courtyard. He said,"Earls and marquises were originally officials in Hanzhong. Why did they appear here?”
"Milord, you may not know."
Du Ji sighed and said," There are wars everywhere in the world. Hanzhong is also very chaotic. In order to protect my mother's safety, I resigned and left Hanzhong. I plan to take refuge in Liaodong."”
"I see."
Su Yan nodded and said," It's just that your mother's body is not suitable for long trips. What are your plans?"”
"I have no plans at the moment."
Du Ji shook his head.
Su Yan rolled his eyes and smiled." Since you don't have any plans, why don't you stay in Zhuo County and help me?"”
"How can I do this? Du Ji's talent is shallow and shallow. I'm afraid he can't help you.”
Du Ji shook his head.
"Ai, Marquis Du's name is known throughout the world, how could I not know of your talent?”
"I'm just afraid that you won't be interested in my small Zhuo County and won't be willing to lower yourself to stay.”
"Sir, you're too serious!"
Du Ji said with respect,"Your Excellency saved my mother from danger. It is a great kindness to me. How can I condescend?"”
"As long as Milord is willing, I am willing to stay and do my part for Zhuo County.”
"That's good!"
Su Yan clapped his hands and laughed.
He looked at Du Ji and said," Now that the official position in the county government is full, I can't arrange it for you for the time being, so I can only let you temporarily be an aide."”
"After I clean up the vermin in the county government, I'll let you be the main registrar. What do you think?”
"I will listen to you, Milord."
Du Ji cupped his hands.
After chatting with Du Ji for the entire afternoon, Su Yan only returned to his room late at night.
He had gained a lot today. Not only did he build a good relationship with the Zou family, but he also borrowed 300 soldiers.
Now, he had even accepted a talent like Du Ji. It could be said that he was extremely lucky.
Everything was progressing in an orderly manner.
