Chapter 213: New Champion - Winning Later
Jiayu looked in the direction of the voice and saw an official standing at the back of the hall step out and stand in the aisle.
When I took a closer look, I saw that he was a tall and resolute man.
He is estimated to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
He was wearing a red official uniform.
In the Jin Dynasty court, civil officials wore red clothes, while military officials wore blue.
Officials stood in corresponding positions according to their ranks.
Look at the official standing in the corner. Walk a few steps back and you will be outside the hall.
It can be imagined that although the other party is an important official of the Jin Dynasty, he is the lowest-ranking official among the important officials.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be standing at the end of the line.
The man was not afraid of the Queen's stare at him. He looked at her expectantly, waiting for her answer.
Jiayu took a look and said:
"Come to the front of the palace and talk to me."
The man walked quickly to the center of the hall with his hands raised and a banner.
This position is closest to the Queen Mother, and you can see the Queen Mother very close just by looking up.
Jiayu's expression was slightly serious.
She asked: "You dare to recommend yourself, you must think you are qualified for the position of city lord. Then I would like to ask you, how do you think you are qualified?"
The man looked confident and said without hesitation:
"I used to be a tribal leader. I am confident that I can manage Dajin well. Queen, do you think I can do it?"
Jiayu frowned slightly.
Tribal leader?
Could it be that this official came from a northern tribe and was a nomadic people?
"what's your name?"
Man: "My lady, my surname is Ying."
Jiayu was slightly startled.
She actually has the same last name as her mother.
And it also gave her an inexplicable feeling of intimacy.
Is it because he has the same surname as his mother that he feels a sense of familiarity towards men with the same surname?
Jiayu didn't think much about it and asked again:
"You reached your current position by passing the imperial examination?"
At this time, an official in the palace said:
"Your Majesty, the Queen is the new number one scholar and has been an official in the imperial court for less than three months."
Jiayu was shocked:
"Didn't you just enter the court as an official when the Great Jin Emperor stepped down?"
She remembered that Qi Tianlin unified the Central Plains more than three months ago.
After unification, it took them a month or two to hold the enthronement ceremony, and almost another two months have passed since the ceremony.
After winning an awkward smile:
"Hui Niang, yes."
Jiayu looked at the other officials and asked:
"Hou Ying will be the city lord. My dear ministers, do you have any objections?"
"I have collected the opinions of all the nobles. The minority shall obey the majority. Please raise your hands and vote now. Those who agree to win the city lord shall raise their hands. Those who disagree need not raise their hands."
However, what Jiayu never expected was that almost all the officials in the hall raised their hands.
How could a man who had just entered the court as an official not long ago convince most of the court officials?
Jiayu said in a formal tone:
"The minority obeys the majority. Since most people support Hou Ying to be the city lord, from now on, Hou Ying will be the city lord of Dajin City and will be named the King of Dajin."
At this point, Jiayu lowered his head and looked at Hou Ying in front of the hall, and said:
"Hou Ying, Dajin City will be handed over to you from now on. To facilitate your communication with the Imperial City, I have brought officials from the Imperial City here to assist you in managing this place."
Hou Ying bowed his head, kowtowed, and said solemnly:
"Yes, Madam, I will live up to my mission, manage the Great Jin well, and try my best not to cause worry to the court."
Jiayu hummed with satisfaction, "With your words, I feel relieved."

In the morning, Qi Tianlin spent two hours in the study, dealing with work matters.
When I encountered something I didn't understand, I went to find Jia Jingyu.
He knocked on his brother-in-law's door.
When I didn't hear a response, I said:
"Jingyu? Jingyu, are you in there?"
Jia Jingyu's voice came out:
"I'm here, brother-in-law, please come in."
Qi Tianlin opened the door and came in. He took a quick look and didn't see his brother-in-law, so he walked in.
At this time, the sound of the shower was heard.
Seeing the fog on the frosted window of the bathroom not far away, Qi Tianlin thought that his brother-in-law should be taking a shower at this moment.
Jia Jingyu turned off the water and shouted outside:
"Brother-in-law, I'm going to take a shower and come out to find you later."
Qi Tianlin: "It's okay, you go ahead and do your work."
He was going to go back to Jiayu's study and come back to see his brother-in-law in a few minutes.
With an inadvertent glance, I saw a lot of hair scattered in clumps on the ground in front of the floor-length mirror.
Qi Tianlin couldn't help laughing.
He thought his brother-in-law was Tony teacher at home, cutting his own hair.
Without thinking much, I walked towards the door.
However, after taking just two or three steps, he felt something was wrong and turned back.
Qi Tianlin squatted down, picked up the hair on the ground and looked at it.
He felt that the length of the hair was wrong.
This length is equivalent to my brother-in-law cutting his hair to the roots.
Logically speaking, my brother-in-law is very concerned about his appearance at his age, so how could he be willing to cut his head bald?
Now picking up the hair and looking closely, Qi Tianlin discovered the hair follicles at the roots of the hair.
And every hair has a hair follicle.
Qi Tianlin's heart suddenly tightened, and a feeling of uneasiness enveloped his heart.
This is not hair cut, this is hair loss!
Jingyu is sick because he is losing so much hair.
Qi Tianlin thought again of his brother-in-law who had been wearing a hat when he had dinner with them these past two days.
If this isn't severe hair loss, then what is?
Qi Tianlin put his hair back on the ground, walked to the sofa and sat down, his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
He suddenly thought, since his brother-in-law made him inherit all the property at once, did he realize that he was no longer capable of managing it?
After a while, Jia Jingyu came out of the shower, fully dressed and even wearing a hat.
Qi Tianlin heard the noise, stood up and looked back.
The moment their eyes met, Jia Jingyu noticed that his brother-in-law had a heavy expression, and his heart skipped a beat.
Why does my brother-in-law have this expression?
Jia Jingyu walked over with a sunny smile on his face.
"Brother-in-law, what do you want to talk to me about? I was just about to take a shower and go out to have afternoon tea with my friends."
Qi Tianlin's face was heavy, and he asked directly:
"Jingyu, tell me honestly, are you sick?"
Jia Jingyu's heart suddenly tightened.
Brother-in-law, how...
He quickly hid the panic in his eyes and replied with a smile:
"No, why do you ask, brother-in-law?"
Qi Tianlin didn't believe it, "Really?"
Jia Jingyu smiled and tried not to look sick.
"No, why did my brother-in-law suddenly ask me if I was sick? Do I look sick?"
After saying that, Jia Jingyu quickly glanced at the floor-length mirror.
A glimpse of the untreated hair on the ground gave me some peace of mind.
It seems that my brother-in-law has discovered that he is suffering from severe hair loss.
Qi Tianlin pointed at the lost hair on the ground and asked with concern:
"Are those your lost hairs? You've lost so much hair recently. This is not a good sign. Jingyu, go to the hospital for a check-up."
If something happens to his brother-in-law, how will he explain it to Jiayu and his father-in-law and mother-in-law? "
Jia Jingyu suddenly curled his lips and complained pitifully:
"Brother-in-law, you discovered all this. I am indeed seriously ill. I am bald at a young age. I inherited the gene from my grandfather who had hair loss at a young age."
As he said this, Jia Jingyu took off his hat.
Although the hairstyle doesn't look much different than usual, the hair does appear to be a little thinner.
Jia Jingyu wanted to cry but had no tears. "Wow, my hair. I haven't married or had children yet. What should I do in the future?"
Qi Tianlin: “…”
Could it be that he had misunderstood?
"My dad looks like he has a lot of hair, how come you…"
Realizing something, Qi Tianlin didn't continue speaking.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law mentioned verbally that this son was not their biological son.
Since he is not his biological father, my brother-in-law’s hair loss should be inherited from his biological father’s family hair loss gene.
Jia Jingyu curled his lips, feeling very aggrieved and puzzled:
"Yeah, why is my dad's hair still so thick even though he's old? Not to mention hair loss, he doesn't even have a single gray hair."
"On the contrary, I suffered from the same genetic defect as my grandfather, and became bald at a young age."
"Brother-in-law, what should I do? How am I going to find a wife in the future?"
Qi Tianlin felt helpless and sympathetic:
"Uh... Jingyu, my brother-in-law can't do anything about your hair loss, but don't be discouraged. You can still wear wigs here, unlike the people at my brother-in-law's place, who don't know what wigs are."
Jia Jingyu sighed:
"Oh, my head will have to deal with wigs for a long time in the future."
He complained: "Brother-in-law, tell me, my father and I are both descendants of the Jia family, why did I inherit the bald gene?"
Qi Tianlin comforted: "Maybe it's because of different physiques."
In fact, it is because of different blood relations.
Jia Jingyu looked at his long, straight, black, and silky hair with envy on his face:
"Brother-in-law, why did the hair of your ancient people be so good?"
"Is it because you don't use shampoo with additives?"
Qi Tianlin couldn't help laughing:
“That’s probably the reason.”
"Oh, it's so boring. God just loves to torment me."
After saying this helplessly, Jia Jingyu asked:
"By the way, brother-in-law, what do you want to see me about?"
Qi Tianlin: "I don't really understand some things about work."
Jia Jingyu: "Then tell me about it, brother-in-law. I will help him solve it now, and then I will go out and have afternoon tea with my friends."
Qi Tianlin: "You can tell your brother-in-law after you come back from playing. There's no rush."
Jia Jingyu: "It's okay, brother-in-law, I'll help you deal with it before you go out. It's not even noon yet, and I'm not in a hurry."

After having lunch with his parents at noon, Qi Tianlin went out.
He planned to find Su Ruiyang and tell him that he was an ancient person.
After Qi Tianlin left, Qi's mother went to Jiayu's studio.
He mentioned to his mother last night that Jiayu has a studio at home, which is usually used to study robots and other things.
If the mother wants to continue researching the time machine, she can try using her daughter-in-law's studio.
The mother said that she wanted to go into the studio today and take a look before making a decision.
Considering that his mother was an interstellar person, Qi Tianlin specifically instructed Fenghuang to stay in the studio and wait for his mother.
So that his mother could see whether his wife's ability in making robots could catch up with the interstellar people.
Qi's mother went to the studio, accompanied by her husband Qi Lingqi.
After entering the studio and seeing the environment inside, Qi's mother couldn't help but sigh:
"Ling Qi, our daughter-in-law, inherited her father's genes."
Her husband, who was following behind her, looked around the studio and nodded in response:
"Yeah, I can see it."
When they reached the door of the R&D room, Qi's mother saw Fenghuang standing inside the room through the transparent door.
There is a smart door lock on the door, but you can't get in without the password.
Qi's mother stared at the smart door lock device for half a minute, then entered a long string of codes on the screen.
After a few seconds, the door opened with a click.
Father Qi was surprised that it took his wife Lan Xing some time to crack the password of the door:
"Xing'er, you used to be able to crack modern smart locks in just a few seconds, but this time, it took you almost half a minute."
His wife smiled with relief and replied:
"It shows that my daughter-in-law's attainments in artificial intelligence are almost catching up with us interstellar people."
After saying that, she opened the door and walked in.
Fenghuang, who had never turned off her phone since Jiayu crossed over, took a few steps forward, nodded to Qi's father and mother, and said hello:
"Mr. Qi, Mrs. Qi, hello, I am Fenghuang, I am waiting for you here on the orders of our master."
Mother Qi looked at Fenghuang with admiration and asked:
"Hello, Phoenix, can I see your parameters?"
Phoenix: "Okay."
As he said this, he turned his body mechanically and faced the white wall.
Then, both eyes lost consciousness in an instant and projected a beam of light.
When Qi's father and mother looked at the white wall, the parameters had already been projected onto the white wall.
Qi's mother looked from top to bottom with an extremely serious expression.
Although it has been more than ten years since he traveled to the modern era, Father Qi still cannot understand those garbled parameters.
Seeing that his wife's eyes were much brighter after reading it, as if she had gained something, he asked:
"Xing'er, what did you gain?"
Mother Qi said happily:
"I didn't expect that my daughter-in-law would achieve such great success in the field of artificial intelligence."
"Ling Qi, my daughter-in-law's ability in this area is almost catching up with us interstellar people."
"I think that with the addition of the father and daughter, our time machine will be born soon."
Father Qi was happy for his wife:
"Really? Does that mean we have the ability to build a time machine?"
Qi's mother was full of confidence:
"Yes, I believe that if Brother Jia and his daughter join us, it will speed up our pace in developing the time machine."
Father Qi: "I hope we can make our time machine available before we are controlled by interstellar robots."

Qi Tianlin came to the company and went directly to Su Ruiyang's office.
But there was no sign of Su Ruiyang.
Su Ruiyang's assistant came in at this time and said to him:
"Chairman, Manager Su has gone to interview the applicants."
Qi Tianlin frowned slightly.
Is Su Ruiyang going to be an interviewer?
Isn’t interviewing the job of the HR department?
Perhaps seeing his confusion, Su Ruiyang's assistant explained:
"The company is looking for a sales manager for the marketing department this time, and Manager Su is required to interview in person."
Qi Tianlin nodded, "Got it."
A few minutes later, Su Ruiyang entered the office while answering the phone:
"The one named Xiao Xi has more experience, so you can consider him."
"That's it for now. Your HR department will handle the rest."
After hanging up the phone, Su Ruiyang turned around and closed the office door.
As a result, when I turned around and glanced inadvertently, I saw the chairman sitting on the sofa.
He was startled: "Chairman? When did you come?"
Qi Tianlin looked serious and gestured:
"Put your things down and come sit down. I have something important to tell you. It's related to your life experience."
Su Ruiyang was shocked again.
He quickly put the interview materials on the desk, walked over to sit opposite Qi Tianlin, and asked:
"Chairman, do you have any clues about my biological parents?"
It’s strange. He couldn’t even find his biological parents, so how could the chairman find them?
Qi Tianlin nodded seriously.
Su Ruiyang's face lit up with joy, and he couldn't wait to ask:
"Where are they?"
Qi Tianlin: "Ancient times!"
