The two of them walked slowly on the official road with Jun Shu, who had drunk into mud, and the yellow and clear full moon quietly leaked clear light overhead. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yun Yi lifted the person up, and said casually: "Ah Jiang, you still have a chance to give up in the November exam." ”

"Brother, why do you want to persuade me to give up?" Hua Jiang lowered his eyes and asked back with some loss.

"I don't know how much you know about the current situation in the DPRK and China." Feng eyes rolled on her face, and she said softly, "The emperor has been obsessed with the alchemy and immortal art in the past few years, and he has no intention of ruling at all. The struggle between King Ning and the crown prince is getting hotter and hotter, the head of the family resigned last year, and now Zaifu is Gao Song of the neutral faction. The situation in officialdom is changing rapidly, and at this time, I am afraid that if you are not careful, you will be in danger. ”

He paused and said: "Back then, in order to avoid suspicion, I took the martial arts test, and now I am just a small deputy commander of the forbidden army. Not to mention that you are struggling to walk the path of Wenju, I can only help you......"

It has been more than four years since the Great Jin Dynasty recovered northern Xinjiang, and the illusion of peace without seeing war for four years has caused a very natural malaise in this country -- emphasizing literature over military force.

"It's because it's so hard to walk," the cat's eyes sparkle at him as they used to, "that I can't leave you alone." ”

You don't want me to take revenge with you, but I want to get involved.

I don't want to have a second time watching you die in front of me and be powerless......

When the horses on the pipe saw them coming, they snorted brightly, as if they were waiting impatiently.

Yun Yi stopped, and suddenly reached out and rubbed Hua Jiang's little head, like he had been doing for many years.

"Originally, I wanted to take you to put lanterns to admire the moon tonight, but I want to send the prince back, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you."

The girl is like a kitten that has been smoothed, although she is reluctant but mutters stiffly: "Always treat me as a child......"

Before the words fell, a small lamp made of bamboo strips was handed to the eyes, and two fighting crickets were printed on the light red lamp paper, outlined in ink, and the expression was delicate and cute.

Hua Jiang took it in a daze, and the cat's eyes were full of joy.

"I'll go back to Kyoto first and send the prince back to the palace." Delicate and deep eyebrows turned to look at her, and his voice was low, "Send someone from Yunfu to pick you up tomorrow." ”

"Don't worry, tomorrow the city lord will feast all the lifters, and I will probably postpone my return for a few days."

"Be careful on the road and drink less alcohol."

"Don't worry!"

Hua Jiang rubbed the lantern in his hand and watched the horses drift away.

……

On this day, the lord of Liucheng held a deer banquet to entertain the new imperial examination people.

Hua Jiang and Zhao Zhang, as the first two in this township test, were naturally regarded as guests on the seat, and the two sat down in countless envious eyes, and the seat was under the city lord.

If you are selected and have the ability to take the test in the future, you will be a great official with an unlimited future; If you can't pass the test, you may become a colleague.

Such an effortless opportunity to make friends, anyone is doing their best, and I can't wait to talk to everyone.

In such a comparison, Hua Jiang and Zhao Zhang in the upper seat are very incompatible.

Everyone only saw Yuan Gong poke the Eight Treasure Duck in his hand with relish, Ya Yuan Gong held the wine glass in a trance, and peeked at Xie Yuan Gong from time to time.

"Ahem," the city lord saw that the situation seemed to be embarrassing, and hurriedly came out to play a round, afraid to pat Hua Jiang's shoulder, and said lovingly: "Dude, take advantage of today's everyone to drink to their heart's content!" This official took the liberty to ask on behalf of everyone present, I don't know why all these years...... We've never seen a dude? ”

The old man's question is not unreasonable, no matter which dynasty, as long as it is a scholar, it always loves to get together. It's okay to have a poetry meeting and sit and talk, so there are generally some talented young talents, and they are very famous.

But this Xie Yuangong, let alone famous, everyone has never even seen it.

Hua Jiang put down his chopsticks and said thoughtfully: "Don't hide it from you, my father has passed away for many years, and I have been studying abroad, and this is also the age of the township examination before I came back to participate in the imperial examination." ”

The false identity she fabricated was that of the son of a deceased businessman, and when she said this, she came back.

The people at the banquet saw that the talented Xie Yuangong spoke gently and politely, and they all hurriedly raised their wine glasses and took turns to toast, wanting to mix their faces with familiar faces.

After a few times, no matter how good the amount of Rao is ginger wine is, it was a little unbearable. Hurriedly turned his head to talk to Zhao Zhang, intending to ignore those people.

"Brother Zhao?" Pretending to touch the wine glass, Hua Jiang saw that he didn't belong to his thoughts, and quipped: "Could it be that Brother Zhao stayed awake all night excitedly?" ”

Zhao Zhang smiled a little uncomfortably, "Like my virtuous brother, my father passed away early, and the three younger brothers and sisters in the family need to be supported, and it is really a great joy for me to be able to raise the name of others!" ”

When I first met, I didn't have a good impression of him because of his speech and arrogant expression. After getting along for a few days, I found that this Zhao Zhang is just a stereotypical and high-minded habit that some scholars often have, and when it comes to quality, he is actually very kind and enthusiastic.

Hua Jiang was a little emotional, and just wanted to say a few more words to him, but he heard the city lord on the side say heartily: "Hahaha, taking advantage of this beautiful day, we might as well ask the young and promising Xie Yuangong to write a poem for everyone, how about it?" ”

Ginger: "......"

……

Finally staying up until the end of the feast, the two walked back unsteadily.

Hua Jiang took a deep breath of cool air and said with a smile: "I think I thought I was not drunk with a thousand cups, but I was almost poured on the wine table, and I still have to practice my drinking amount when I go back!" ”

Zhao Zhang, with his drunkenness, took half a step closer to her, shook his head and said, "Xian, Brother Xian, since you have returned from a study tour, it is not convenient to stay in the guest house." Why don't you buy a house and settle down? It just so happens that I know of a ......."

"I'll go to Kyoto in two days," Hua Jiang teased him with a smile, "Brother Zhao read carefully, don't worry about it." ”

"Two days ......"

"Yes, I have good friends in Kyoto."

"...... like this"

Zhao Zhang stared at her in a daze, until he was a little uncomfortable staring at Hua Jiang, and then said goodbye.

In the next two days, Zhao Zhang came to the door every day, either pulling her to discuss the Four Books and Five Classics, or studying the Eight Strands of Literature together.

Hua Jiang didn't like these old-fashioned remarks, so she fled to Kyoto with Qingdai on the third day, and finally let Zhao Zhang pounce.

"Whew-" Hua Jiang drove the carriage and let out a long sigh of relief.

Qingdai, who was sitting on the side and nibbling on the roasted sweet potato, said vaguely: "Miss, you are in such a hurry that I haven't eaten enough!" ”

Hua Jiang squinted at Qing Dai's face that was getting rounder and rounded, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "You have already eaten three steamed buns in the morning......

"But the slave hasn't drunk the porridge yet!" Qing Dai continued to gnaw aggrievedly, "Only eat dry food, slaves and maids will not be full." Miss, don't bully people! ”

"Got it...... I'll definitely order you a pot of porridge next time......"
