Yangzhou has entered the rainy season, the spring rain is as moist as a crisp, and Yangzhou in the rain curtain is more delicate and charming.

Recently, the Yangzhou academic circle is very lively, one is that the test is imminent, Yangzhou talents gather, everyone meets friends with literature, so it is not lively.

In addition to the Taoist test, there are also many things worth talking about in Yangzhou recently, such as Lu Zheng, the head of the Yangzhou government trial case, who fought a madman in the north on Xinchenghe Cross Street, and ran away from a nobleman in the north, giving Yangzhou a big face.

Another example is Nie Yong, the county magistrate of Xinhe County, Yangzhou, because of his outstanding political achievements, especially last year's disaster relief, was commended by the imperial court and has been transferred to Tianfu.

Nie Yong has been excluded everywhere in Yangzhou in the past few years, and he is a lonely person everywhere he goes, everyone in Yangzhou academic circles knows that Nie Yong has offended Dai Xiang, who would have thought that such a person would stand out in the county orders of the eight counties of Yangzhou?

Although it cannot be said that it is a step to the sky from Yangzhou to Yingtian, Yingtianfu has a special status, and it belongs to the direct jurisdiction of the Southern Imperial Court, and it cannot be directly managed!

Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin is a third-grade official, and Yangzhou Governor is just a small five-grade or even six-grade official, and this alone can see the worlds of difference between the two prefectures.

Nie Yong went to Ying Tianfu and said that he was still serving as a county commander, but when Ying Tianfu's county tried a first-class county, Nie Yong's grade became a positive sixth grade, and his salary almost doubled.

In addition, Yingtian's place is the capital of the Southern Imperial Court, the powerful are gathered, the population is concentrated, the six departments in Jinling City are all there, and Nie Yong is an official in Jinling City, Yingtianfu, and his future is almost the same as in Yangzhou.

At this moment, everyone mentioned Nie Yong's talent again, Nie Yong is the first place in the second class of Jinshi, only one step away from the top three, and those who have ascended the Jinluan Hall are all protégés of the Son of Heaven, and their backgrounds are different from others.

Therefore, it is still a sentence, everything is inferior, only reading is high, and the masters in Yangzhou academia all take Nie Yong as an example to instill the concept of high reading in their students and juniors.

The county order of Xinhe County is gone, the new county order has not yet been determined, and Wu Fu is temporarily replacing the post of county order, and the Xinhe County Ya is lively all of a sudden.

There is also Zhang Chengxi next to Wu Fu who is eyeing him! Zhang Chengxi and Wu Fu are of the same grade, after Zhang Chengxi took office, Xinhe County's persuasion has improved greatly, this time Lu Zheng won the first place in the government test, giving Xinhe County a big long face, this is also a political achievement that Zhang Chengxi can show off!

Zhangfu, in the old lady's yard, Hua Hanyun asked the old lady to prepare ginseng soup and send it over, the old lady held the dragon head cane, stood up and said:

"Alright, alright, it's not a big deal! It's just a little bit of a cold, no need to make a fuss, I feel that this body is almost neat! ”

Hua Hanyun smiled and said, "Ancestor, don't be careless, you are in Zhangfu, that is the sky." If you have any three long and two short, the sky will fall! ”

The old ancestor smiled lightly, waved his hand and said, "Sister Hua, don't wear a high hat for me, it's not like you said!" Hehe, okay, sit down, it's going to be the hospital exam soon.

Our family has a great chance this time, Brother Hao and Brother Tian will strive to take down Xiucai! ”

Zhang Baoyi on the side said: "Grandma, don't worry!" This time, Brother Hao and Zepeng will definitely go all out. Don't you know, a few days ago, Master Su Qingsu specially called his father over to speak! My father said, Master Su is the main exam, and Xinhe County is very promising! ”

"Hmm!" The old lady nodded, she looked at Hua Hanyun and said, "Sister Hua, in order to prepare for the exam this time, the family has prepared special food, and I have arranged a lot of good things such as bird's nest and shark's fin." Don't forget to send Brother Zheng'er's share when you go back, he is from my Zhang family after all, I said that he is the same as his own children, and he must not be treated twice. ”

Hua Hanyun chuckled and said: "I know, the ancestor is merciful, blessed and longevity, Brother Zheng is blessed, he lives in our Zhang family, and the ancestor takes care of him in many ways, otherwise where would he have such a reputation today?" ”

Zhang Baoyi on the side frowned slightly, feeling slightly uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to say anything after all.

The two wives, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Su, were also there, and neither of them said anything.

The current situation is different, first of all, Lu Zheng's status is high, looking at Yangzhou, Lu Zheng is now hot, and he has become the top talent in Yangzhou.

In addition, this time Lu Zheng's Zhongfu test case was the first, which really helped Zhang Chengxi a lot, and Zhang Chengxi showed a big face because of Lu Zheng's results!

And at this juncture, Nie Yong is gone, the county order is a void, and Zhang Chengxi now has a lot more confidence to compete with Wu Fu.

When he walks outside now, others will praise him: "Master Zhang has good means, and he has a set of learning!" ”

Lu Zheng gave Nie Yong's "Thirteen Strategies", Zhang Chengxi copied and copied the implementation, and now that Nie Yong is gone, Lu Zheng is not rare to take credit at all, and all the credit belongs to Zhang Chengxi.

Now Zhang Chengxi only hopes that the hospital test will be a big success, first of all, it is best for Xinhe County to have a few more talents, and the most important thing is that if Lu Zheng can still get the first case, he will inevitably cause a sensation if he gets a small three yuan.

In that way, Zhang Chengxi's political achievements will be even more brilliant, and now that he has secretly let people move on Yingtian's side, he can come up with dazzling political achievements, what does Wu Fu compare with him?

Zhang Chengxi's officialdom wisdom is very imbecile, but once a person steps into officialdom, the instinctive desire to climb up is the same.

Zhang Chengxi's native people, if he can become a county magistrate, with the resources of the Zhang family, he should be able to make a difference in Yangzhou.

This time, Zhang Rong's attitude in the capital has changed greatly, and he wrote a letter back to encourage Zhang Chengxi, which undoubtedly released a huge signal.

The release of this signal directly changed Zhang's mother's attitude, otherwise how could Zhang's mother let Hua Hanyun send bird's nest shark fin to Lu Zheng? Think beautifully!

In the courtyard of the West Corner, the shadow was humming a little song, and her heart was beautiful.

Recently, although the weather is not beautiful and it rains all the time, it has ushered in the most comfortable days for Xijiaoyuan.

The girls and ladies in the West Corner Courtyard went out, and they were decent wherever they went, and when Ying'er was a girl by the old lady's side, that majesty is now back.

You must know that before, the big girls such as Xiangxiang, Osmanthus, and Meiyue were very arrogant in front of the shadow, and they were also big girls, and they thought they were superior!

But now the situation is different, Ying'er went to the eldest lady's yard yesterday, and the girls looked at her with low eyebrows, and they were very respectful and polite!

Let's not talk about other places, let's just say that this side of the West Courtyard, the West Corner Courtyard used to be a small corner, and now, there is no one else living in the entire courtyard, this side is Brother Zheng's sphere of influence, the whole family, who hears Lu Zheng's name not praised? Don't look at it highly?

The second master is a frequent visitor here, he has come here again and again, sometimes he chats with Lu Zheng for more than an hour, and even stays here a few times!

"Oh, sister-in-law, what did you send here?" Shadow heard Lu Zheng's voice.

She turned her face slightly, secretly glanced in the direction of the main entrance, and saw Hua Hanyun carrying a big basket and entering the main hall with a smile.

"You guy, aren't you afraid that your second brother will chop you up with your sister-in-law? The contents of this basket are what the old lady told you to give you.

Hehe, it's amazing, now your identity is different, my sister-in-law is only worthy of bringing you food! Hua Hanyun giggled, and a pair of eyes fell on Lu Zheng's face, as sharp as a knife.

Lu Zheng touched his nose with his hand, he was a little embarrassed by Hua Hanyun's gaze, and he said lightly: "The old lady is merciful, she is blessed and longevity, and my sister-in-law also loves me, and kindness will be rewarded." ”

When Hua Hanyun heard Lu Zheng say this, she laughed again, she was in a good mood, and said: "Brother Zheng, your mouth is really unusual, what you said is very warm in my sister-in-law's heart!"

It's going to be the hospital test soon, and my sister-in-law heard that this time Anqing Mansion and Changzhou Mansion are very talented, and you have to go back to Brother Zheng, and strive to suppress them all and take back the heaviest case.

Tsk, tsk, if you can do that, my sister-in-law will be able to say a lot for you in the future! ”

Hua Hanyun said this very seriously, Lu Zheng was slightly stunned, and he also felt a little warm in his heart.

But he is very sober in his mind, and the current relationship between him and the Zhang family seems to be easing, but in fact, it is just a matter of interest.

Zhang Chengxi wants to be on top, Lu Zheng happens to be able to use it, that's all, otherwise, where would they be the face they are now?

Lu Zheng knew very well in his heart that he and the Zhang family had been antagonists from the beginning, it was impossible for the two sides to reconcile, and he never expected that he would really be accepted by the Zhang family, so how could it be?

The Lu family, who gave birth to him and raised him, can't accept him, will the Zhang family accept him instead?

Lu Zheng has now begun to plan for the things after the college exam, and he has a faint feeling in his heart that he may have to leave Yangzhou after the college exam!

"Brother Zheng, after trying it, you can't think of working so hard now. Take some time to go to Yushan, your sister-in-law misses you, but she can't say, I think you are really good to your sister-in-law, but don't forget. Hua Hanyun said suddenly.

She paused, and then said, "Brother Zheng, if you really want to leave Yangzhou one day, take your sister-in-law away." You won't marry her, let her follow you for the rest of your life, and you will be better than her in the Zhang family if you have no reputation.

She is in the Zhang family, and the day is not safe, and sooner or later everyone will be gone. I tell you that, do you understand? ”

Lu Zheng's hand shook slightly, and he suddenly looked up at Hua Hanyun, extremely shocked in his heart.

What's going on with Hua Hanyun today? Why did you say that all of a sudden?

Although Lu Zheng and Hua Hanyun are usually flowery, he has always been wary of this woman in his heart, and the two can't talk about friendship at all, Hua Hanyun is not an ordinary woman, can she not have that sense of proportion in her heart?

Countless thoughts instantly turned in Lu Zheng's heart.
