In the evening, Guo Song's convoy arrived at Jinyang Palace, several personal soldiers helped the drunk Guo Song out of the carriage, this afternoon in the barracks to treat the three armies, the generals have toasted Guo Song, Guo Song can no longer remember how much he drank, and he has forgotten how he came back.

The soldiers kept sending Guo Song outside the Yuqiong Pavilion, Xue Tao heard that her husband was drunk, and hurriedly greeted her, she hugged her husband and complained: "How can this be? ”

Zhao Xiu, the pro-soldier general, smiled bitterly: "The princess doesn't know, there are hundreds of generals lining up to toast His Highness, each of them is a big bowl full of milk wine, and in the end, it was General Yao and a few of them who blocked the way, and His Highness was rescued by us." ”

Xue Tao was very helpless, almost every time he treated his husband of the three armies, he would drink too much, he thought that it would be better today, but he didn't expect to get drunk.

"It's hard work for everyone tonight, let's go back and rest early! The King of Jin will be handed over to me. ”

The relatives and soldiers saluted and left, Xue Tao asked Minqiu to boil hangover soup, she and Dugu Youlan helped her husband into the study, and found a clean bucket for him to spit out and relieve his hands, and then helped him drink the soup of hangover.

Everyone was busy for a long time, Guo Song fell asleep on the second floor of the study, Xue Tao sighed, and said to Minqiu: "No way, you still work hard tonight to take care of him, it is estimated that he will get up at night to go to the thatched house, it is cold outside, just use a clean bucket, don't go out." ”

Minqiu nodded, "Madame, go rest!" I will take care of the prince. ”

Every time Guo Song was drunk, she was responsible for keeping vigil, Xue Tao was also very relieved of her, and explained a few words to her, and then left with Dugu Youlan.

When Dugu Youlan went out, she turned around and winked at Min Qiu, her smile was a little ambiguous, Min Qiu's pretty face turned red, there are some things that don't need to be said, what will happen to their husband's drunk night, they have all experienced it.

Her husband usually has a lot of self-control, but it may not be possible to be drunk, so Xue Tao is very careful in this matter, and she will never let other maids take care of her husband at night.

She was inconvenient tonight, and Youlan had to take care of the children at night, so she asked Minqiu to take care of her husband, and Xue Tao didn't bother to break it, so she pretended to be confused and left.

Min Qiu was a little nervous in her heart, but she was a little expectant, she knew very well what would happen tonight, these two days happened to be her conception period, and she longed to start tonight, and she also had a child herself.

This night, Guo Song woke up a few times, and what happened, I'm afraid only the two of them know.

The next day, when it was dawning, Minqiu once again served her husband with all her might, and she served him to lie down and rest with her cheeks full of peach, and then she put on her clothes in the quilt, and went to the maid to boil hot water and light a brazier.

After the sky was bright, Guo Song put on his clothes and walked downstairs slowly, Min Qiu brought a cup of hot tea, pursed his lips and smiled: "I thought my husband would get up at noon!" ”

Guo Song really liked this concubine who would serve her husband, he put his arm around her waist and asked with a low smile: "How many times did you do it last night?" ”

Min Qiu shyly stretched out five fingers, "Madame knows, and I want to say that I don't care about my husband's body." ”

Guo Song smiled, "I slept soundly last night, and nothing happened." ”

Min Qiu sat in her husband's arms and said coquettishly: "People have calculated the time, and they may be pregnant last night!" ”

"Of course it's a good thing if you're pregnant, and if you give birth to a child, your nickname will be the first one."

At this time, Guo Song found a scroll on the table, he picked up the scroll, looked at it, and asked curiously, "Whose painting is this?" ”

There was a familiar sound of footsteps outside, Min Qiu was so frightened that she hurriedly stood up from her husband's arms, and after a while, Xue Tao walked in, she saw her husband holding the painting scroll, so she smiled and said: "This is Xiaowei's New Year's gift to her father, she misses it for a day, but her father came back drunk." ”

Guo Song said apologetically: "I really drank too much yesterday." ”

Min Qiu saluted Xue Tao, "I'll go get breakfast." ”

Xue Tao saw that Min Qiu's face was red and dizzy, her eyes were red and swollen, it was estimated that she had been tossed all night, Xue Tao couldn't help but smile and said to Min Qiu: "Go!" The chicken broth is hot, be careful. ”

Min Qiu said yes and left quickly.

Xue Tao stepped forward and said with a smile: "Open it and take a look!" I also want to see what Xiaowei's gift to her father looks like, this little girl painted it behind my back, and asked Senior Sister Li to find someone to help her frame it, I don't know anything. ”

Guo Song untied the silk silk of the painting shaft, slowly unfolded the painting, the whole painting turned out to be as long as one zhang, it is a picture of rivers and mountains, the mountains are undulating, the blue waves are like belts, the fishing boats on the river are dotted, the sky is high and the clouds are light, although the brushwork is still slightly immature, but the ink is quite orderly, the sense of hierarchy is very strong, so that the picture as a whole looks very atmospheric, the upper left corner is written in block letters with the five big characters of "thousands of miles of rivers and mountains", and the most wonderful is a seal, engraved with the four words of "Jinshan Dwellers".

"Not bad! Not bad! ”

Guo Song thought it was a children's painting, but he didn't expect the painting to be so imposing, which made him full of praise, he pointed to the seal and asked, "Who is this Jinshan monk?" ”

"Your baby girl! Some time ago, she also asked me, where is Jinshan? It turns out that the dictionary is here! ”

Xue Tao was also quite amazed in his heart, his daughter had such a high talent for painting, and he didn't even see it.

Guo Song said with great interest: "This one is hanging in my study!" This is my best gift of the year. ”

Xue Tao pouted, "I see that my husband's heart is already biased towards the sky, today is the second day of the first lunar month, and the best conclusion of this year has been made?" ”

Guo Song laughed, "I forgot to mention a premise, so far it is the best of this year." ”

At this time, Min Qiu came in with a food box and soup pot, and Xue Tao hurriedly cleaned up the table, "Hurry up and eat breakfast while it's hot." ”

"Good! Have breakfast first, and then go to comfort the military family, it is estimated that today will be another busy day. ”

.........

Zhangye's winter will not be until the end of February and early March, the air will gradually begin to have a warm breath, but after the winter in Taiyuan has passed the Shangyuan Festival, there is a trace of warmth in the air, at the end of January, Taiyuan ice and snow melt, willow trees spit buds, and flocks of birds in the sky chase, it is already an early spring scene.

In the morning, two young men on horseback came from the south of the official road, followed by two scholars, each carrying a bookcase, saying that they were scholars, but they were both in their twenties and very strong.

Two young people, one named Zhang Benchu and the other named Wang Xian, both from Luzhou, are not only classmates and friends, but also township party members, and they are about the same age, they came to participate in the Taiyuan imperial examination in early March.

Although this year's Taiyuan imperial examination announced that it would provide free accommodation to the poor, these two people are wealthy and don't care about the money for room and board, they also know that the things provided without money will never be too good.

Although the two of them are wealthy, they are not the children of gentlemen, on the contrary, they study hard, they are full of wealth, and they have seen people.

Zhang Benchu looked at Taiyuan City in the distance and asked with a smile: "Do you think our Jin army will take Guanzhong this year?" ”

"It can only be said that there is this possibility, but if you take Guanzhong, will the Southern Tang Dynasty court in Chengdu come back, I think this is more troublesome, it's not good, I made a wedding dress for the Southern Tang Dynasty in vain, if this problem is not solved well, I guess I won't take Guanzhong for the time being."

"Your analysis is right, it's best that King Jin can break with the Southern Tang Dynasty and ascend the throne as the emperor himself, and all troubles will be solved."

"Isn't that the same as Zhu Jun? His Royal Highness the King of Jin should not be so stupid, instead of establishing himself as the emperor, it is better to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the world, and it is more meaningful to be Cao Cao. ”

"It's a pity that my brother doesn't want to be King Jin's staff."

Wang Xian laughed, "That's right, if His Royal Highness King Jin recruits staff, I will be the first to sign up!" ”

The two took the scholar into Taiyuan City, they have been to Taiyuan many times, and came directly to the Gaosheng Inn, Wang Xian lived here once, and had a good impression of this place.

The innkeeper greeted him and said with a smile: "The two sons are here to participate in the imperial examination!" ”

"Exactly! Is there any room left? ”

"You guys came really in time, there are just the last two rooms left, if you come half a day late, I'm afraid there will be no room, only ordinary rooms are left."

The two glanced at each other, and Wang Xian was surprised: "Are you so nervous?" ”

"That's not it, they are all scholars who came to catch the exam, the first few scholars came half a month ago, from Jiangnan, and from Hebei."

Zhang Benchu hurriedly said: "We have decided on two upper rooms, and then we have set a double lower room." ”

"Great!"

The man shouted, "Shopkeeper, here you are, two upper rooms, one double lower room." ”

The two were lucky enough to grab two upper rooms, and as soon as the two settled down, a scholar next door came to visit.

The scholars next door also came to Taiyuan together, but they were from Weizhou, Hebei, one was named Li He and the other was Zhou Kun.

The young people were easy to get along with, and soon they became acquainted with each other, and they sat down and chatted.

"I heard that the chief examiner this time is Li Mi, the former prime minister, but I didn't expect Li Mi to be loyal to Guo Song."

"What's unexpected about this, isn't Yan Zhenqing also a staff member for Guo Song? Birds choose good trees to perch, otherwise why don't we go to Chengdu to take the exam? ”

"That's right, the eunuchs in Chengdu are autocratic, the emperor is mediocre, and the court friends are competing, and I feel that there is no future."

"Brother Li, how is Tian Yue?"

Li He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Eight states want to raise an army of 120,000, how good can it be?" ”

Zhang Ben saw that it was almost dinner time, so he smiled and said: "It's not interesting to talk here, it's better to find a restaurant to drink together." ”
