12. Take a wish

The two sisters almost couldn't wait, and in the following days, they looked through the autumn water while taking out the three parts of the orphan girl's biography, and kept rewatching it over and over again.

Around the end of summer, Gao Yue's second scroll finally arrived, and the sisters cheered and anxiously unveiled the scroll, only to see a large number of words written in the big ink at the beginning, "The Gourd Record".

"What does this gourd mean?" Yun Shao was a little curious and unfolded the scroll.

Gradually, the shade of the trees in the Moon Hall became golden, and the fallen leaves fluttered down, and Yun Shao and Yun He sat on the stone bench and looked at the "Gourd Record" with great interest.

When this compilation was over, Yun He frowned, thoughtful, and then asked Yun Shao:

"Sister, what did the dace say?"

Yun Shao also shook his head, also pondering this doubt.

Then they looked up and saw that the locust trees and flowers in the yard had completely turned into golden clusters, so they remembered, "Gao Sanlang is about to run to Chang'an, and the real investment bank is ......."

On the Shaoling Plain, Gao Yue held his hands behind his back, standing in front of Zhang Tan's tombstone, the white flowers of the dark money were flying all over the sky, the surrounding fields were golden and fiery red, the inscription of Zhang Tan's tomb was very simple, "The Tomb of Zhang Tan, the Eunuch of the Tang Dynasty", there are only a few lines under it, and it is indescribably desolate and lonely:

Zhang Tanzhi, about Hedong people, less text, to the son of the country to supervise and shoot the strategy, the province of three (one era for 12 years), no help, no communication, even did not ascend to the top, and died in the road of Chang'an, the same year of wealth and burial, the court secretary heard it, all sighed.

"The Minister of the Imperial Court, don't sigh." When Gao Yue read this line of text, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile bitterly, this sentence was just a self-deceptive words, "Uncle, you are now sleeping here, and the loess of the mountains and fields is the same body, you don't have to care about the scriptures and ink meaning, you don't have to care about the rhyme of poetry, and you don't have to care about the current affairs, but I and the entire Taofen shed can't be like this, you are confined to the south courtyard of the Ministry of Rites for the rest of your life, and finally the oil runs out." But we have to break through, ignite a more brilliant fire, and see a broader world. I was forced to travel to this era, but since I came, there should be many, many things waiting to be changed by me, but the premise for me to climb to that peak is to step on the Jinshi and the initial first order, otherwise the two hundred and forty sticks of Jingzhao Mansion will beat me directly here to be your companion, I am still young, I am still the protagonist, I can't end up like this. So – let's fight it out now! ”

Then Gao Yue turned around, the outline of the imperial city in the distance was clearly distinguishable even from the high ground such as Leyouyuan, and he couldn't help but think of what Liu Yan said to him when he pointed to the magpie on the big tree outside the imperial city.

"Tai student Gao Yue, Gao Ziyang, from now on, beg to occupy a branch." Gao Yue slowly raised his hand, looked in the direction of the imperial city, and said solemnly.

In the thirteenth year of the Great Calendar, I Gao Yue is ready.

Then Gao Yue left Shaolingyuan, came to the imperial city of Hanguang Gate south of the second fang Tonghua Fang, here is the location of the Duting Station, at this time crowded, the original emperor officially issued an edict: Lang Shiyuan out of the assassination of Yingzhou, and Liu Changqing moved out of the assassination of Suizhou.

Many officials and scholars came to Dutingyi to hold a practice banquet for these two.

Among them, Liu Yan was also included, he came to see Changqing off, and assured Changqing in the post hall room that after the expiration of his term of office, he would definitely lend a helping hand and let Changqing return to Beijing to serve as the United States of Taiwan.

came with Liu Yan, as well as Si Fenglang Zhongling Fox.

Before the banquet began, Liu Yan sat down and asked Changqing, "What is the relationship between you and that strange Qian Langjun?" ”

Liu Changqing couldn't help but praise Gao Yue's character and talent, and said that if it wasn't for Gao Langjun's righteous rescue in the Great Ci'en Temple, he would have folded it in the hands of Xue Yaoying.

After listening to Liu Changqing's narration, Liu Yan smiled lightly, touched his beard and said nothing, and Ling Huxian also began to sneer.

Soon, the banquet of Dutingyi began, the sound of silk bamboo and chanting was endless, Gao Yue also arrived, and Lang Shiyuan and Liu Changqing both introduced them as guests and treated each other with courtesy.

Liu Yan stood behind the wall on the second floor with his hands behind his back, staring at Gao Yue's every move.

"This Weizhou high school junior is not simple, first funded the people of Xiaoyangshan in Baqiaoyi, and then had a close relationship with Xue Yaoying of the Red Peony Pavilion to gain fame, but the poor scholar is still in the dark." Ling Huxiang stood behind Liu Yan, looked at Gao Yue and said.

"It's nothing, isn't the study also happy?"

"Gao Yue will be able to make him the first place in the spring of the coming year?" Ling Huxiang paused word by word, and two cold lights flashed in his eyes, "He stood on the side of Xiaoyangshan, and he didn't seem to put us in his eyes, if he let him win, it would definitely be unfavorable to the officials for a long time." ”

Liu Yan shook his head, sighed, and then asked Ling Huxiang, "When you first came to Chang'an City, you saw the clouds and the moon in the capital for the first time, until now, can you still remember what your original ambition was?" ”

Ling Huxian didn't expect Liu Yan to suddenly ask such a sentence, so he frowned and blinked, stumbling, and tried to remember.

"Perhaps, since the moment we stepped into Chang'an City, our original ambitions have already been packed into a bag full of wind and dust, and they have been abandoned. Only when I left Chang'an again, I would take it out again and inspect it, and then I suddenly realized that decades had passed in a trance, my sideburns had turned white, and the years had passed. Alas, I didn't know that I was a guest in my dream, only because I was in a guest dream,......" Liu Yan said leisurely, then turned around and whispered to Ling Huxian, "Gao Yue is a doll, what do you know?" He only knows that he is a shank head now, and he will not scruple any means, relying on the enthusiasm and resourcefulness of young people, he just wants to fight for the top. I made an agreement with him, I would meet him at the steamed stall in the northwest corner of Pingkangfang that day, and let people prepare things in Guangzhaifang, right and wrong, and I would find out the answer by myself on that day. ”

"But ......"

"Don't say it, when he went down before, I personally told him that there was only a difference between the scholar and the official, and now if Qian Langjun succeeds because of people, it is his natural ability, why should we force it to rebel?" After speaking, Liu Yan turned around again, looked at Gao Yue who was sitting at the banquet with a complicated expression, and then left without saying a word......

"Why is it so much worse for Zheng Wenming and Gao Yisong?" Ling Fox didn't say anything, but in his heart he was extremely uneven.

After the banquet, the drunken Liu Changqing put his arm on Gao Yue's shoulder, walked out of Dutingyi, looked at the late autumn twilight in Chang'an, and shouted "Yisong, let's go to Pingkangfang, and then, drink againβ€”and then, one, let's sleep together!" I've been holding birds for so long, and now, it's going to be released, hahaha! ”
