Sister Zhao naturally sent money, and Sister Zhao still followed Zhao Zonghan by her side, the reason why she came to send money so late today was because Zhao Zonghan really didn't have so much money, so he had to go everywhere to make up for it, and it was afternoon.

Gan Qi made a contract with Sister Zhao, but he didn't talk about the Cao family's affairs today.

After the contract was signed, Sister Zhao took her younger brother to the sumo ring, and there were many acquaintances and friends invited by Sister Zhao at the sumo ring, many of whom were official wives and ladies from all over the world, as well as Zhao Zonghan and a group of friends, and there were twenty or thirty people surnamed Zhao.

Now this Sister Zhao is a bit of a master, or that sentence, Sister Zhao has gathered all the advantages of housewives and started business, seven aunts and eight aunts, none of them fall, and they are doing their best. Of course, the more such shareholders, the better.

Ganchi inevitably has to go to the sumo wrestling ring as well, and greeting people everywhere is always indispensable.

In the afternoon, that is, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, Su Shi came and found Gan Qi next to the construction site outside the sumo ring, and said to Gan Qi: "Today afternoon, Master Ouyang sent someone to invite my father and son to the family for a banquet, and also invited Brother Gan, and specially asked Brother Gan to be there. ”

Gan Qi was a little puzzled when he heard this, what kind of character is Ouyang Xiu? Take the initiative to set up a banquet? So he asked, "Bachelor Ouyang wants me to go by name?" ”

Su Shi nodded: "Well, Master Ouyang knows that you and I are familiar with each other, so I specially instructed him." ”

Gan Qi was still a little confused, but he had to go, so he had to go home and change into a set of old Confucian shirts, and follow Su Shi to the city.

Ouyang Xiu's home is in the inner city, which is not luxurious, but it also covers an area of more than 20 acres.

In the living room, Su Xun and Su Zhe had already arrived first, chatting with Ouyang Xiu politely, and Zeng Gong, who was in his thirties, was beside him.

Gan Qi and Su Shi arrived later, and the two stepped forward to salute.

Ouyang Xiu smiled: "Sit down, it will take a while before the banquet starts, see you today, I am in the Song Dynasty literary circle, and there are successors." ”

Ouyang Xiu was boasting, Gan Qi sat down, and looked at Ouyang Xiu a little, he was really extraordinary, with a good face, and a full gentlemanly demeanor.

Gan Qi sat down for a moment, and while Ouyang Xiu was chatting, he suddenly asked, "Gan Qi, are you very familiar with Bao Zheng of Kaifeng Mansion?" ”

Gan Qi was stunned when he heard this, Ouyang Xiu suddenly asked like this, without even a hint of warning, Gan Qi couldn't help but think a little too much, but he didn't hesitate, and continued: "The package is Mr. Elder, the student is grateful to the package and will not give up, teach the students to study diligently, and the students are grateful to the package in their hearts." ”

Ouyang Xiu nodded when he heard this, and said, "Oh? The old man still thinks you are worshipping under Bao Zhengmen? ”

Gan Qi replied: "The student should go to the government school to take the examination in the near future, and if he is willing to be promoted and is willing to be accepted into the door, then he will not be able to ask for it." ”

Gan Qi replied while secretly looking at the change in Ouyang Xiu's expression, Ouyang Xiu's smile had decreased a lot, which made Gan Qi guess something. Don't? Could it be that Ouyang Xiu asked these words to make himself stand in line?

Gan Qi thought of this, and felt that it was not enough, he was just a person who had not even participated in the imperial examination, where could he take his turn to stand in line? If you want to stand in line, you have to enter the officialdom, right?

"Oh, so? Today, the old man has always cherished talents, and it is not easy for future generations of students to study. If you usually have time, come to the old man to sit here, the old man also lectures at home in his spare time, and Zigu is also more in the house, you are all the best among the young people, when you move around a lot. Ouyang Xiu stroked his beard and said. Zigu is Zeng Gong's word.

Zeng Gong also got up at this time and arched his hand: "Under Zeng Gong and Zeng Zigu, I have seen it." ”

Gan Qi and Su Shi Su Zhe naturally got up and returned the salute.

As soon as Ouyang Xiu said this, the meaning seemed to be much more obvious, which made Gan Qi embarrassed. Gan Qi knew that there were many unpleasant things between Ouyang Xiu and Bao Zheng, Gan Qi wanted to enter the official school of Kaifeng Mansion, so he naturally needed Bao Zheng to take care of him, not to let Bao Zheng teach him, but to say that Gan Qi was originally registered in Kaifeng Mansion, and the examination was in Kaifeng Mansion, without this in Kaifeng Mansion, Gan Qi was not even qualified for the exam.

In this Great Song Dynasty, if you can't pass the test, everything is in vain, and Di Qing is the representative. If Gan Qi wants to live comfortably in this Great Song Dynasty, whether he is an official or not, this test must be taken, and if he passes the test, it will be a talisman.

The Great Song Dynasty and scholars shared the world for more than 300 years, starting from Song Zhenzong, the imperial court almost never used the law to kill scholars. Although there is no explicit rule, it seems that the convention has become a general, as long as you are admitted to the Jinshi, it is almost a gold medal for avoiding death. Of course, it's not true that no one has been killed, but the method of killing is different, such as Wang Hao, the emperor just belittled him, and it was someone else who killed him. Even like Wang Huang, he is a very small minority of the very few.

And Gan Qi was already grateful to Bao Zheng, and Gan Qi also used Bao Zheng's banner to solve some troubles. And Bao Zheng also raised Gan Qi at the poetry meeting. Can one not be ungrateful?

Ouyang Xiu said a few words, Gan Qi was already a little troubled, and he was not comfortable eating this meal. The three members of the Su family didn't have such troubles as Gan Qi.

Between the staggered discussions, Ouyang Xiu even praised Gan Qi from time to time, and said that Gan Qi was so talented, if he cultivated it well over time, he would definitely become famous all over the world.

Gan Qi heard one head or two big, as if Ouyang Xiu was waiting for Gan Qi to bow down, and the apprentice was on the spot.

Ganchi was just stunned, as if he didn't understand.

Apprenticing with Ouyang Xiu is unlikely for Gan Qi, Gan Qi has a preconceived rejection of Ouyang Xiu, especially in the matter of Di Qing, Gan Qi is not a person with him.

After staying up, the meal was finally finished, Gan Qi and the Su family went out, and the Su family went to spend the night in the evening.

Gan Qi, who was walking on the street, suddenly wanted to set up a house in this Bianliang City, so as not to always go to Su's house to spend the night.

At this time, Gan Qi was also thinking about whether to visit Bao Zheng's house, compared to Ouyang Xiu, Gan Qi liked Bao Zheng more, and also accepted Bao Zheng's affection, and he should thank him.

Being famous, sometimes not necessarily all good things. But Gan Qi doesn't like to be famous, since he is famous, he has to move forward, and he should also consider studying and studying, and he should also strive for a talisman for himself. If you have this talisman, you can face the Cao family much more calmly.

This is the first time that Gan Qi has thought so seriously about the entrance examination, and he has not thought so much about it before.

Early in the morning of the second day, Gan Qi went out of the city, Zhou Tong was not the first to play today, but almost the last to play, the finale, which was naturally arranged by Gan Qi.

On this morning, Di Qing did not go to the sumo ring, but went to the imperial city and met Emperor Zhao Zhen in the vertical arch hall. The emperor had already seen the resignation, and had discussed it with many people.

When I came to see him today, the old emperor kept him again and again, and Di Qing repeatedly excused himself. The old emperor was very reluctant, and he didn't know how much it was true or what was false.

And then it's a joy for all.

Di Qing sighed and walked out of the main hall, but was stopped by Han Qi halfway.

Di Qing saw Han Qi and hurriedly greeted him. Han Qi is now the third envoy and the privy council envoy, and his authority is flourishing, and the three envoys are probably the minister of finance, the director of the State Administration of Taxation, plus the director of the Salt and Iron Monopoly Bureau, and he also manages many things in the household department. The Privy Councillor is probably *********. The Privy Council can be simply understood as the Central Military Council plus the Ministry of Defence.

It won't be long before Han Qi will be promoted.

After Di Qing finished worshipping, Han Qi looked at Di Qing, stepped up slightly, and walked forward, Di Qing followed behind. Han Qi spoke: "Although you resign from the old man, you live in the capital, and you are not allowed to walk around." ”

Di Qing was shocked when he heard this, but he nodded again and again: "Yes, I must not dare to walk around." ”

After Han Qi finished speaking, he quickened his pace and walked forward.

Di Qing deliberately slowed down his pace, frowned and shook his head, and seemed to be depressed in his heart. Di Qing's heart is full of loyalty, and the officials have resigned, but they are still so guarded, how sad it is.
