Yang Congyi said with a smile: "It's not a particularly big deal, it's just a matter of selecting some low-level generals." ”

Lu You thoughtfully, nodded slightly, and did not reply.

I only heard Yang Congyi answer: "It's just that the selection method this time is a little different from the previous one, and the manpower and material resources consumed are relatively large, and a temporary agency needs to be set up to handle this matter." In this way, I was temporarily seconded to the selection department to be in charge of the selection of generals. ”

After this explanation, Lu You had no doubts, and slowly replied: "The imperial court can set up a separate organization and let the adults be responsible for this matter, presumably when this matter is over, the adults will be promoted again, right?" ”

Yang Congyi laughed and said: "How can it be so easy, how can there be a vacant official position right now, even if there is, I'm afraid it won't be my turn." I'll be satisfied if I can do it for a few more years. ”

As soon as the words fell, he turned his mouth and asked, "I don't know what Brother Lu's plans are in Lin'an?" ”

Lu You was silent for a while, and then replied: "The next subject exam is two years later, and it is still a long time, and there is actually nothing special to do in Lin'an, read books, make friends, and learn about the government by the way, and prepare in advance for the provincial examination and the general examination." ”

Hearing this, Yang Congyi smiled and said: "With Brother Lu's talent, he will definitely be in the gold list high school after three years." In my opinion, in fact, there is no need to be so nervous, many students are on par with each other, and it is difficult to distinguish between high and low, but when it comes to the exam, some people are nominated on the gold list, and some people are nameless on the list, to put it bluntly, many times the imperial examination is luck and spirit, premature preparation, the battle line is too long, and the tension accumulates and spreads. ”

As soon as Lu You heard this new theory, he immediately asked, "What should I do if I want to be an adult?" ”

Yang Congyi took a sip of tea, and then said with a smile: "In my opinion, Brother Lu should relax for a year, completely put aside the books, do something that has never been done before, try an experience that has never been done before, and then pick up the scroll, you will find that there will be new things in the old books. ”

Lu You's heart was greatly shaken, and he immediately got up and saluted, and said, "Thank you, my lord!" Today, the students have benefited a lot from the adults! ”

Yang Congyi hurriedly got up to support the other party, and repeatedly excused himself: "Brother Lu can't be like this, you and I are equal, how can there be a difference between students and adults?" I just took a few steps first, and I entered the official career a few years earlier, who knows that Brother Lu will not go further than me in the future? You and I are still intersecting equals, what do you say, Brother Lu? ”

Lu You straightened up, stood in place, and was silent for a long time.

Lord Yang is an official of the imperial court, and he is just a white body, how dare he be commensurate with the other party's brother. Don't talk about anything else for the time being, first of all, this is not in line with etiquette, once it spreads, a rebellious and rude notoriety will be on his back, who will dare to associate with him in the future? Even if you pass the imperial examination, I am afraid that you will not be able to enter the official career.

But now that Lord Yang disregards his identity, puts down his official status and befriends him with a white body, and gives him such a big face, how can he refuse? If you insist on it again and refute your face, I am afraid that it will leave a very bad impression on Lord Yang and lose an old friend who can still be deeply acquainted.

After some weighing, I only heard Lu You say: "It's better for the little brother to be respectful than to obey his fate." If in private, the younger brother can call the adult Brother Yang, what he couldn't ask for at the time, but this place is the office, it is the place where the adult works, the younger brother does not dare to be presumptuous, or the adult is commensurate with the adult, and I hope the adult will not blame! ”

Yang Congyi paused slightly, and laughed: "Just what Brother Lu said." Sit! ”

The two of them sat down one after another.

"I'm not familiar with Lin'an, if I don't study this year, what do adults think I should do?" When Lu You calmed down a little, he couldn't help but ask about the next year.

Yang Congyi had already calculated, and immediately replied: "There is a good place to go right now, which is very suitable for Brother Lu to stay away from the pile of old papers for a while, but I don't know if you are interested." ”

"My lord, but that's it." As soon as he heard that there was a good place to go, Lu You's spirits were lifted.

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Elect the general camp." ”

Seeing Lu You's doubts, he immediately explained: "The selection camp is built by the selection of generals, and it is a place to select outstanding generals. And the specific construction of the selection camp is done by me, at present, I am the only one, it is the time to employ people, I think that Brother Lu entered the camp to help build the selection camp, when it is an extremely rare experience. I now officially invite Brother Lu to join the selection camp and take up the position of building the army, I don't know what Brother Lu wants? ”

When Lu You heard this, he was simply surprised, he was able to be invited to participate in the affairs of the imperial court with a white body, what a rare opportunity!

Immediately agreed without hesitation: "The little brother is willing to assist the adults to build the selection camp!" ”

"Good! Good! Good! Seeing that Lu You agreed, Yang Congyi was also inexplicably excited, what an honor it is to work with such a famous historical celebrity!

"I wonder what I can do in the camp?" Lu You couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and inquired about the things in the camp, at this time he was full of curiosity about the selection camp, which was a strange and attractive place for him.

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Don't think about this problem urgently, the selection of generals is specifically responsible for the selection of generals, and the affairs are extremely complicated. ”

"I wonder where the camp is? Is it north or in the middle of the city? Lu You couldn't help but ask again.

"Not in Lin'an City, the election will be estimated to be small, in order not to cause too much annoyance, the election camp is set up in Yiwu County, Wuzhou, hundreds of miles away from Lin'an." Yang Congyi told the truth.

Lu You was shocked when he heard this, but after a moment, he was relieved, since he had this opportunity to participate in the affairs of the imperial court, what could he be counted hundreds of miles away from home?

So he said: "No matter where you are, the little brother will go with the adults this time, to see the world that is different from the book, and experience an experience that has never been experienced, if you can help the adults, it is naturally the best, if you can't help, the little brother is here to confess in advance!" ”

Yang Congyi hurriedly replied: "Whatever Brother Lu said, as long as Brother Lu is here, he will definitely be able to help, don't worry." ”

Lu You was finally relieved, but then his heart moved, and then he said: "Wuzhou is hundreds of miles away from Lin'an, and Lin'an is also one or two hundred miles away from Shaoxing. Therefore, the younger brother would like to ask when we are going to leave? ”

"The time is short, and it is set for two days later. This time I went to Wuzhou and expected to come back before the year, the time is still relatively long, Brother Lu wants to communicate with his aunt, I am afraid it will be too late to go back to see him, why not write a letter to go back. Yang Congyi thought about it for a moment and suggested so.

He already knew that Lu Mu was now counting on Lu You to gain fame and rebuild the glory of the Lu family, if he let Lu Mu know that it was he who made Lu You put down his books, not concentrate on preparing for the exam, and get involved in miscellaneous matters, I don't know how Lu Mu would denounce him.

Besides, once Lu You goes back to meet Lu's mother, let alone going to Wuzhou, I'm afraid that even Lin'an will not be able to come. For today's plan, the only way to do this is to cut first and then play, he will go to Wuzhou first, and then send a letter back, no matter what Lu's mother thinks, I am afraid that I will not be able to receive her reply for a while.

Lu You was very embarrassed, such a major event, it is said that he should go back to see his mother, make it clear in person, and obtain his mother's consent, but now there is only a day and a half, even if he travels day and night, I am afraid it will be too late.

It's hard to choose between thoughts.

After pondering for a while, I finally made up my mind, how important is the selection of generals, how precious is the opportunity to participate, how can it be easily delayed?

So he nodded and said: "According to what the adults said, the younger brother immediately repaired a book and presented it to his mother." ”

Who knew that Yang Congyi waved his hand and said: "Brother Lu is not in a hurry, after we go to the Wuzhou General Selection Camp first, wouldn't it be better to write a letter and explain the reason to my aunt?" ”

Lu You thought about it for a while, felt justified, and hurriedly said: "What the adults said is that the younger brother is reckless. ”

Yang Congyi shook his head and said with a smile: "My mother is worried, Brother Lu's itinerary has changed, and he is eager to communicate to his mother so that his mother can rest assured, why is it reckless?" ”

Then with a smile on his face, he continued: "I also want to be able to write to my father and mother from time to time to tell them about my experience and changes, but I have no chance, and they will never hear any news from me in this life." ”

After saying that, he sighed.

Lu You heard this, he didn't know what to do, he thought about it again and again, but in the end he didn't answer, since he said that there was no chance, then heaven and man were separated forever, what good is it to ask? It's better not to ask.

"By the way, Brother Lu, you have a familiar scholar in Lin'an, if you are the same age as me and have nothing to do in three or five months, you might as well make an appointment together to create a camp for the selection of generals." Yang Congyi thought about it together, and suddenly there was this sentence.

Lu You thought for a while, then shook his head and replied: "No, the younger brother rarely comes to Lin'an, and he has also lived in a relative's house these days, and there is no one who has a deep friendship in Lin'an." ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "It's okay if you don't have it, it's just that there is a shortage of manpower, so we have to work a little harder." ”

After a pause, he asked, "Brother Lu, I don't know if you have enough time today, do you have any other arrangements?" ”

Lu You immediately replied: "The junior brother entered the city today, and he made a special trip to visit the adults, and there were no other arrangements. ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "That's fine." Brother Lu has plenty of time, so he might as well take a look at the preparations for the selection of generals in the selection division first. So saying, he got up and walked to the bookcase.

After a while, he came over with a pile of paper full of words, pushed the teacup, and put the paper on the coffee table.

"Brother Lu, this is the constitution for the election of generals, and all the specific matters for the selection of generals must be implemented within the charter, you can take a look first." Yang Congyi picked out the good actual combat confrontation drill regulations that he had copied before from the pile of paper and handed them to Lu You.

After Lu You took it in his hand, he said: "The rest of these are about how to implement the general selection charter, which is also what I have been thinking about in recent days, Brother Lu may wish to take a look, if there are different opinions, just say it, let's discuss it slowly." ”

"Thank you, sir." Lu You thanked him and immediately threw himself into it.
