In Xinhe County's "Cherry Blossom Banquet", Lu Zheng is the protagonist.

At the banquet, Lu Zheng and Nie Yong sat next to each other and talked happily.

The relationship between a reader is nothing more than hometown love, classmate love, teacher-student love. The so-called hometown is easy to understand, that is, the friendship of fellow villagers.

And what is classmateism? Classmates are not only those who have studied in the college together, but also the same subject, such as the two of them in the same department, and they are all classmates.

And in the end, the teacher-student relationship does not only refer to teachers and students like Lu Zheng and Luo Guancai, but mainly refers to sitting teachers, such as this time Lu Zheng was the head of the county test, Nie Yong is the teacher, and the two have a teacher-student friendship, which is an important connection.

In fact, aside from the teacher-student relationship between the two, the two have long been their own people, and Nie Yong's key decisions this year were all planned by Lu Zheng for him.

And one of the most important things is that Nie Yong fell to Liang Quanyi, and then asked Nie Yong to recommend Zhang Chengxi, so that Liang Quanyi's side could realize the relationship between him and the local giants in Jiangnan, through this, Nie Yong consolidated his position, and the unfavorable situation was quickly reversed.

Based on all this, Lu Zheng far exceeds the status of ordinary students in Nie Yong's heart, and it can be said that it is not too much for Nie Yong to know Lu Zheng as a henchman.

So naturally, in today's "Cherry Blossom Banquet", Nie Yong's attention is on Lu Zheng, who happens to be the head of the case, and everyone else has become a supporting role.

Zhang Chengxi saw this scene but was not a little disappointed, but he was very excited, because from the situation of today's "cherry blossom banquet", he confirmed that what Lu Zheng said before was true.

The relationship between Lu Zheng and Nie Yong is really not ordinary, the relationship between the two is so close, Zhang Chengxi secretly wants to be unfavorable to Lu Zheng, isn't that self-inflicted humiliation?

Zhang Chengxi is very glad that he and Lu Zheng have reconciled, and Nie Yong will leave Xinhe County, Zhang Chengxi got this news in advance It is too precious, if it works well, Zhang Chengxi feels that he may go further!

Therefore, everyone is very satisfied with the "Cherry Blossom Banquet", the results are also very satisfactory, ordinary talents have been encouraged, and there are two exams in the future, make persistent efforts, and the example is Lu Zheng.

After this day, Lu Zheng's name became even more famous, and on the second and third days after the cherry blossom banquet, many talented people in Yangzhou came to visit, including Qin Yue and Chen Gui!

……

The county test is over, the hustle and bustle is quiet, the progress of the children's test in Xinhe County is still in order, and the next customs test is just around the corner, and the date is set for April.

"Thirteen Strategies" is still advancing in an orderly manner, but for Lu Zheng, he is a lot easier.

Lu Zheng was rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver from the Zhang family, and he sent 500 taels to Luo Guancai, but Luo Guancai insisted on refusing. And on the seventh day after Lu Zheng's case, Luo Guancai set off for Beijing, he entered Beijing this time to concentrate on hard work, ready to try and finally let go, Lu Zheng sent five hundred taels of silver as a plate, this time Luo Guancai finally accepted it.

The teacher and student said goodbye on the dock, Luo Guancai said: "Lu Zheng, I entered Beijing this time is inspired by you, I feel that the opportunity is not small, since the middle move, after many years of ups and downs, the will has been depressed, but the mood has been impetuous, until I met you, the heart gradually became calm, the depressed will has been revived, the ancients have heard that the night can die, I Luo Guancai has studied all his life, and I am not willing to let the ancients focus on the beauty of the former ......"

Lu Zheng said: "Master Luo's mood is lofty, and this time he will definitely succeed." The capital is far away, and the climate in the north is dry and cold, the teacher and the teacher must take care of their health, after arriving in the capital, the teacher should first find a house, regardless of the size of the house, to be able to live in the first place. When the home is safe, the heart can be at ease, and when you are at ease, you can be angry! ”

Luo Guancai nodded again and again and said: "Brother Zheng is right, I didn't have much savings over the years, but this year, because I accepted you as a disciple, my savings have increased greatly. There are also 500 taels of trays you give, which adds up to more than 1,000 taels of silver, even if the price of goods in the capital is high, these pieces of silver are enough to support our family for three or five years! ”

"Brother Zheng'er, you have already made a name for yourself, but you should also go all out in the government test and the Taoist test, if you can even get the first three cases and get a small three yuan, it will definitely be a good story.

Learning is like sailing against the current, Xiucai is just beginning, the road is still very long, don't relax! ”

Luo Guancai paused, and said: "Nie Xianzun is quite important to you, you should also rely on him more in Jiangnan, you have the friendship of teachers and students, which is especially precious." ”

Lu Zheng nodded again and again, he knew that Luo Guancai was worried that he was in a difficult situation in the Zhang family, and hoped that Lu Zheng could rely on Nie Yong more. But Luo Guancai didn't know that Nie Yong might leave Yangzhou now, and once that happened, Lu Zheng would have no one to rely on in Yangzhou.

Lu Zheng and Luo Guancai talked a lot, the point was that after Lu Zheng asked Luo Guancai to settle down in the capital, he must send a letter back, otherwise, the two may lose contact.

After Lu Zheng tried it in the hospital, he must have to find a way, he will definitely not stay in Yangzhou for too long, and it is not certain what he should do next.

But he didn't say these words to Luo Guancai, only said that Luo Guancai must have a good home in the capital, and in the end, the boatman came over to urge the boat a few times, and the teacher and student waved goodbye.

After saying goodbye to Luo Guancai, Lu Zheng's mood was inexplicably low, and his heart seemed to be empty. Almost all of his current texts were taught to him by Luo Guancai.

At the earliest, he really didn't know anything about Shi Wen, and it was Luo Guancai who instructed him and trained him, so that his level improved little by little, until he reached the current level.

In this era, it is extremely difficult to get teachers to open their hearts and teach without leaving a backhand at all, but Luo Guancai has absolutely no secrets from Lu Zheng, and he will teach what he has learned all his life, which makes Lu Zheng very grateful.

But now, Luo Guancai is gone, and Lu Zheng has lost a mentor and friend in Yangzhou, and he feels even more lonely.

……

Sun San's carriage slowly entered the green bamboo forest.

In spring, the peach and plum blossoms bloom, and through the green bamboo forest, Yan Shi's hut is surrounded by a sea of flowers.

The fragrance of flowers in the sky, the warmth of spring, is beautiful.

Master Yan sat in the sea of flowers, he looked older than last year, his hair was completely gray, his skin was wrinkled and piled together, and his whole person exuded the smell of decay, as if it would pass away at any moment.

The spring sun caused sleepiness, Yan Shi was napping in the sea of flowers, Lu Zheng walked to his side, saluted him first, and then found a rattan chair to sit down, slowly admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him.

A boy served tea to Lu Zheng, the tea is a new tea before the rain, refreshing, the cup of tea is made of Jingdezhen white porcelain, crystal clear, like mutton fat white jade.

Lu Zheng held the tea, thinking about things in his heart, and he was a little stupid for a while.

"Have you really figured it out? What situation will Nie Yong encounter when he goes to Yingtian, have you thought clearly? A voice rang out. It turned out that Master Yan didn't know when he woke up.

Lu Zheng was startled, turned his head to look at the other party, nodded lightly, and said, "Master Yan, this is not something I can decide, I can only tell him all kinds of powerful relationships."

Lord Nie is an ambitious person, a person who wants to do big things, and staying in Yangzhou as a small magistrate will definitely not be able to realize his ambitions.

Ying Tian has such an opportunity, and it happens that Lord Zhan takes a fancy to him, do you think Lord Nie will give up such an opportunity easily? ”

Master Yan frowned slightly, and said coldly: "This Lord Zhan has never been a fuel-efficient lamp, he wants to use Nie Yong as a gunman, Nie Yong went to Yingtian, and he has no turning back from then on, just like the blazing fire cooking oil, the parties need to bear huge pressure, and the onlookers are also shocked to see it!" ”

Lu Zheng sighed lightly and took a sip of tea lightly: "He knows these things, in this world, being able to be used by others shows that there is still value." If one day others don't take advantage of him, he will completely lose his value, even if he has more talents, no matter how strong his background, no matter how many resources, it will be useless. ”

Lu Zheng turned his head to look at Master Yan and said with a smile: "Just like you, Master Yan, when you are old, you can only play chess and listen to music every day for fun, and you have an empty stomach, but you don't need it at all!" ”

Yan Shi was stunned, laughed, he slowly stood up and said, "Okay, you ridiculed me today!" It seems that you are in a good mood, are you so happy to get a show? ”

Lu Zheng said: "I am naturally happy to have Xiucai, but I am actually not in a good mood, Master Luo has entered Beijing!" ”

Yan Shi frowned slightly, and said, "Luo Guancai is very keen, he is waiting for Kai Enke!" Next year is the 80th birthday of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager should issue an order to open Enke, hehe, if that's the case, you can also end the autumn next year! ”

"Ah......" Lu Zheng exclaimed, he had been wondering why Luo Guan had left so early, it turned out that he had already calculated and judged that he would open Enke next year.

Luo Guancai has never told Lu Zheng about this, firstly, there is no will to come down to this matter, and it is not certain, and more importantly, Lu Zheng has just passed the county exam, and Luo Guancai does not want to let Lu Zheng be distracted by this.

Lu Zheng thought of this, and a lot of thoughts turned in his mind, if there was really Enke, the day when Lu Zheng would leave Yangzhou would not be far away, counting the days, it seemed that he was nervous again.

Lu Zheng now has no teacher, and he can only rely on himself in his future studies, he secretly warned himself that there must be no relaxation!

"Learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat!" Lu Zheng chewed Luo's advice carefully, and his heart was extremely vigilant, the head of the county trial was just a beginning, even if he got the fame, he was just a student.

There is still a long way to go to get rid of the shackles and change your life against the sky, at this moment, where can you relax?

"Okay, you can understand what I want to say, so I won't say more, it's useless to say more!" Yan Shi said lightly: "It's still early in the season, but it's just early spring, and after the middle of spring, it's another scenery." The road is going forward step by step, every step is solid, and the heart is not panicked, I see that you seem to be restless today, I think you are walking too fast! ”
