As the red sun rises on the horizon in the distance, the big rooster who gets up early "Oh Oh Oh" wakes up the early risers, and even Shi Zhongtai, who loves to sleep lazily, also rises.

"Squeak"

"Childe, the water is coming."

"It's just a basin of water, I can do it myself, you still have to help me."

After receiving the water, Shi Zhongtai wet the towel and washed his face while tidying up his makeup.

"At this time in my hometown, I have all gone to work in the fields."

"Whatever you want."

Everyone has their own habits, and Shi Zhongtai understands it, so he doesn't force one or two. It's just that today is the first day of work, and Shi Zhongtai is really a little nervous in his heart.

Shi Zhongtai, who was taking care of his clothes in the mirror, saw the big cow holding a porridge, two vegetables and two steamed buns through the mirror, "Where is your porridge?" ”

"I just ate it in the back kitchen." The big cow scratched his head embarrassedly, and explained in a soft voice like a mosquito and a fly.

Yuhua Pavilion.

"Princess"

"The princess wants to bathe and change clothes, you go down and get ready."

"Whoa"

The surrounding palace maids slowly retreated, Xiao Xing's face was obviously panicked, and her body was still trembling uncontrollably.

"Calm down."

Ming Dai hurriedly tugged at her sleeve and whispered a reminder.

Xiao Xing said fearfully, "Princess, do you really want to leave the palace?" If the queen mother knows, the slave will die. ”

"Shhhhhh Ming Dai hurriedly pulled Xiao Xing aside, glanced around, and then persuaded earnestly, "Xiao Xingzi, you must know that the father and mother are determined to marry me off this time." You also know that when a woman gets married, she has always been unable to even meet in person, let alone understand anything. If they pick a guy for me who looks good on the surface, but behind the scenes... Then I, I'll be in this life..."

Originally, it was just nonsense, and the clinker was talking, and the more Ming Dai thought about it, the more sad she became, and she couldn't help but cry.

"Princess, the emperor and the queen love you the most on weekdays, the horses they choose, their character and knowledge must be the best in the whole world, princess, you don't have to worry."

"Men and women are interested, Xiaoxing."

"But, Princess..."

"Alright, alright, here's coming."

Seeing that Xiao Xing was about to say more, she heard footsteps not far away, and Ming Dai interrupted Xiao Xing, who was still about to preach.

"Princess, the bath palace is ready."

"Lead the way."

Officials.

"Secretary Lang, I haven't heard of it, but from today on, I, Shi Zhongtai, have an iron rice bowl, and I can be regarded as a formal civil servant, which was very popular in my previous life."

Standing at the gate of the ministry, looking at the letter of appointment in his hand, he didn't know how much it was worth, but the corner of Shi Zhongtai's mouth still showed a happy smile. Even if it's not for yourself, it's for the real Shizhongtai!

"Brother Zhongtai"

Shi Zhongtai looked back and saw Li Mingqing walking out of the ministry, and instantly smiled, "It's Brother Mingqing, I thought I was the only one today, but I didn't want Brother Mingqing and I to think together." ”

"I don't know if Brother Zhongtai is free, Mingqing wants to talk to you about it."

Seeing that his eyes were a little cloudy, faintly revealing a little worry, Shi Zhongtai was suspicious and nodded.

"Zhongtai has long admired Brother Mingqing's talent for many days, and today, I will let you and I have a long talk about wine."

Bathroom.

"Princess, you promised the slave that you would return to the palace in two days, but don't forget it!"

"Okay, okay, I know, you don't have to be verbose."

After changing into the little eunuch's clothes, Ming Dai packed the burden while dealing with the chattering little apricot. After cleaning up, Ming Dai's face was excited, calming the frightened Xiao Xing, and taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around the bathroom, Ming Dai quietly slipped out along the path.

Xiao Xing in the room wrinkled her little face, watching the princess leave, and after a while, she finally accepted the fact that the princess had left the palace, wiped her tears with her sleeves, and pretended not to be in a hurry and walked out of the door, "Come on, prepare a sedan chair, and send the princess back to the room." ”。

After a while, a rough-footed grandmother carried a small sedan chair and carried the "princess" in the room back to Yuhua Pavilion.

Come to Xianglou.

"Brother Mingqing, Zhongtai has been unwell recently, and he can't drink alcohol for the time being, I think, let's not enter the Xianglou here. Foot strength is limited, this happens to be a tea shed, can Brother Ming Qing accompany him to sit down? ”

Li Mingqing bowed his hand, "The master is as he pleases, according to what Brother Zhongtai said." ”

Shi Zhongtai was busy and held Li Mingqing with both hands, this gift was a little heavy.

"Shopkeeper, a good pot of tea."

As soon as he sat down, without waiting for Shi Zhongtai to speak, Li Mingqing ordered it himself. At this point, Shi Zhongtai didn't refuse anything, after all, a man's face still has to be taken care of.

"Come, Brother Mingqing drink tea."

"Thank you."

Holding up the cup of fragrant tea in front of him, Shi Zhongtai's eyes only stayed on Li Mingqing for a second, and then he began to browse the people around him casually, waiting for Li Mingqing to speak. The communication between the two is not much, and it is just a few face-to-face friendships, so Shi Zhongtai simply didn't ask and waited for each other.

"I don't know what the position of Brother Zhongtai is?"

Shi Zhongtai's face was relaxed, and he said with a smile, "Idle, the Ministry of Officials assigned me to the secretary province to serve as the secretary Lang." ”

"I don't know where Brother Mingqing is?"

Seeing the frustration on Li Mingqing's face, it was as if the road ahead of him was an abyss, so he pretended not to know and asked, "Brother Mingqing's three dingjia is in the middle, and there is no need to say much about his talent." According to Zhongtai's thoughts, the emperor must have found a good place for Brother Mingqing, and it will definitely not be outside Kyoto, so why are you like this, Brother Mingqing? ”

"Yes, the emperor does treat Mingqing well, but Mingqing is afraid that his ability is limited and he can't worry about the king!"

"Why is Brother Mingqing like this?"

Li Mingqing filled the tea for his teacher Zhongtai, and filled the cup for himself, and then said, "Brother Zhongtai doesn't know, and now the saint appointed Mingqing as the commander of Jingzhao County. ”

"Jingzhao County Order, that's not..."

There are many officials in the capital, and there are countless second-generation officials. However, in the end, it was the Jingzhao County Order, the official quality was not high, and it was really not easy to judge between the second generation of officials!

Shi Zhongtai shook his head clearly, "Brother Mingqing, you will have to work a lot hard in the future." ”

"I also hope that Brother Zhongtai will show me the way."

"Brother Mingqing has taken a fancy to Thailand. In terms of talent, Zhongtai is located under Brother Mingqing; In terms of morality, Zhongtai is not as reasonable as Ming Qingming. What insight do I have to guide Brother Mingqing? ”

"The champion is on top, but Brother Mingqing came to ask me, isn't this a big deal?"

Seeing him like this, Li Mingqing pondered for a while, half biting his lip before raising his head, and there was a drop of fire in the depths of his eyes, "Brother Zhongtai is ashamed of me when he says this." Brother Zhongtai's literary brilliance, Mingqing knows that he is far from reaching. As for the Sanding A ranking list mentioned by Brother Zhongtai, if it weren't for Brother Zhongtai's ill health, how could the name of the top of the list be something in someone else's pocket? ”

"Mingqing has always been not good at words, and I also ask the Zhongtai brothers to see the friendship of their classmates in the same year, in order to point in the direction, Mingqing must be grateful."

Even if he didn't understand what he said, Shi Zhongtai knew why he didn't ask Yang Mingju, the social class is different, how can he talk about it if he is not on the same channel. It's just that it's not easy for people in the world, so if you can help, you can help.

"The Holy Master has a saying: If you complain with virtue, how can you repay virtue? Repay grievances with straightforwardness, repay virtue with virtue! ”
