I didn't expect it to be so difficult to enter the prefect's yamen, Zhao Yan was disgusted in his heart, and stood in front of the yamen and waited for about a quarter of an hour before he saw the official trotting out.

"Little boy, the eldest lord is invited." This official was condescending, and secretly said in his heart, how many merry men came to visit before, but the eldest lord had never seen him, and the kid in front of him was not dressed well, he was not very old, and he didn't know where he came from, but he was able to win the favor of the eldest lord.

Zhao Yan didn't know what the official was thinking, he followed behind him, entered from the front door, first through a long corridor, then through the Yi Gate, and then bypassed the ring archway and the palace lobby, and finally arrived at the outer house of the Han prefect and his family living in front of the outer house, but the Han prefect did not meet Zhao Yan in the living place, but in the official hall next to the back ya.

There are six northwest rooms in the official hall, one of which was opened up by the Han prefect as a place to meet guests, and there are two book rooms and two door soap rooms in the official hall.

In the twelfth year of Hongwu, the internal and external officials lived in the township, but in the clan and the family order of the maternal grandfather's wife, such as family etiquette. If there is a feast, a separate table is set up, and no one is allowed to sit under the unofficial. and the same official meeting, then the preface; Jue Tong, order teeth. When they meet with people with different surnames and no officials, they do not need to respond to the courtesy. The common people were greeted with official courtesy. Those who insult are like laws.

"After the end of school, I entered Shenzhou Zhao Yan and met the Fuzun." Zhao Yan's identity at this time is still a citizen, and when he sees the officials of Zhishi, he has to kneel and bow, let alone the official of the Han Governor's Mansion, but he really hates this kneeling salute, so he only bows down, if the Han Governor's Mansion is displeased, then let's say something else.

Fortunately, the Han Governor's Mansion has always respected the ancient rites, and he has a good impression of him, and Zhao Yan also calls himself 'the last to learn', that is, to visit him as a scholar, and bowing down can be regarded as the end of the courtesy.

"No need to be polite." Han Zhifu jumped from a seven-grade sesame official to a four-grade county guard, and after not seeing him for a year, he raised the prestige of the official, and after Zhao Yan straightened up, he said indifferently: "After a long time, why is Xiao Langjun here?" ”

Zhao Yan saw that Han Zhifu didn't let him sit down, but he didn't dare to sit down, so he had to stand in the hall and replied: "In the past, I was taught by the Fuzun on the Hongbin Tower, and the students did not dare to forget it one day after returning home, so they followed the example of the ancients who hung the beam on their heads and thorned their stocks, and read poetry and books day and night, and passed the county examination by luck in February this year, and was promoted to the head of the case by Li Zhizhou of Shenzhou. This time I came to Fucheng in response to the agreement with Fuzun and came to participate in the government test. ”

Hearing this, the Han prefect vaguely remembered that he had said something like 'waiting for you during the government exam' to the young man in front of him at that time, and he didn't want to be just a word of encouragement at that time, this young man was like Feng Lunyin, he was able to pass the county exam in a short period of time, and he was promoted to the head of the case, which was naturally a big thing for the Han prefect.

"Yes, I don't want to be in just one year, Xiao Langjun has learned something, and the official is very pleased." Governor Han had a smile on his face, and then he stretched out his hand and said, "Let's sit down first, and this official will test you to see how well you learn." ”

Zhao Yan felt bitter in his heart, in addition to the four books and five classics, he only dabbled in Mongolian books such as "The Book of Filial Piety" and "Thousand Character Text" and the Eight Strands of Chengwen.

"Fuzun, the student has a poem written when he entered the city yesterday, please take a look at it first." Zhao Yan hurriedly submitted the poem "Zhengding Mansion", now known as "Zhending Mansion", planning to change the topic first, and then casually talk to Han Zhifu for a few words, and then leave.

Han Zhifu took it with a smile, unfolded the paper and didn't look at the poems first, but looked at the handwriting first, and saw that the pavilion on the paper was upright and orderly, horizontal and vertical, and it was passable, so he nodded and began to read the poems.

'Smack', after a while, Governor Han suddenly slapped the table, but Zhao Yan was startled, and said in his heart, there is something wrong with this poem, but the words in this poem are not taboo, and they are from later generations, so they shouldn't be.

"You really wrote this poem?" Governor Han was too excited and exerted too much force, and his palms were already red at this time, but he still didn't realize it, and only stared at Zhao Yan with a solemn face, seeing how he answered.

It's broken, is there really a problem? Isn't Governor Han's Mansion the same as himself, and he is also worn from later generations? Zhao Yan was apprehensive in his heart, swallowed his saliva, and couldn't temporarily change his words and say that it was done by others, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "It was the student who did it." ”

"Good poetry, can actually exhaust the majestic atmosphere of Zhending City, this official has not seen such an imposing poem for a long time." Han Zhifu stroked his beard with one hand and held the paper in the other, the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and he unconsciously opened his mouth and said: "China's throat leads to nine provinces, and Shenjing locks and controls three passes. When the river Shuo is called the town, the tiger is between the dragon and the swallow and the Zhao. Xiao Langjun is very courageous. ”

Zhao Yan secretly wiped the cold sweat on his head, and said in his heart that he was almost scared to death by you, and they were all mixed into a county guard, and he was not as calm as a little person like me, but fortunately, my son's psychological quality was excellent, so he was not scared out.

"Hehe, the Mansion has praised it, if it weren't for the majestic and magnificent city of Zhending, how could the students have the feeling to make this poem."

Hearing this, Governor Han was noncommittal, and suddenly asked, "Does Xiao Langjun have a table?" ”

Which one is this? Zhao Yan didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly replied: "The student is still young, and the elders in the family have not yet given the table. ”

A table character is a name given by a person other than his or her own name, indicating virtue or the meaning of his or her own name, and is generally taken by parents, elders, or teachers. Since Governor Han asked this, he obviously loved Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan only figured out this section after speaking, and hurriedly added: "If the Fuzun does not give up, I would like to ask the Fuzun to take a table of words for the students." ”

Han Zhifu had this intention, and he didn't pretend to be hypocritical when he heard the words, so he happily responded, and then pondered for a moment before he spoke: "There are clouds in the Book of Songs: the son of the other, the son of the state. "Erya" cloud: Meishi is Yan. "Shangshu Qin Oath" is also cloudy: The sage of people is good. The state and the country are connected, the beauty is the Yan, and the Yansheng has the meaning of goodness, beauty and wisdom, and the Chengyuan system of this dynasty does not shy away, and there is no need to avoid these two words, so how about this official taking the word 'Guomei' for you? ”

Gome, well, sounds okay...... Wait, Gome? Old Han, are you really sure you're not wearing it? Is it bad to call Bangmei? You make fun of my son like this, does your mother know......

Zhao Yan wanted to cry without tears, but it was not easy to bargain with the Han Governor's Mansion, so he had to accept it with a strong smile.

"Guomei, you can be humble and studious, and this official appreciates it very much. It's just that you are still young, it is not easy to be the first person to be the county test, the government test is mainly examined by the official, although you and I are old people, but the official is not a favoritist person, and the government test is not better than the county test, the article needs to be vague after the article is written, so don't have a fluke heart. ”

Now that he has given words, Han Zhifu has already regarded Zhao Yan as his junior in a slightly simple mind, and then he said: "There are advantages and disadvantages to your young age. The disadvantage is that if you achieve far more than everyone else, you will inevitably arouse the envy of the people of the time, or you will be attacked by them. The advantage is that you have more time than others to participate in the imperial examination, and judging from the achievements of you being promoted to the head of the county examination, even if you fail the government examination this time, you will definitely be on the list after a few more exams. ”

What Governor Han said later was the truth, and now the relationship between Zhao Yan and Governor Han has gone further, even if he fails the government exam this time, he can take the exam every year in the future. If you take the exam a few more times during the tenure of the Han Governor's Office, it is impossible to fail every time, otherwise even if the Han Governor's Mansion is more rigid, I am afraid that when the time comes, I will not be able to do it.

Forget it, the word Guomei is the United States, and it is finally not the United States, which is also a blessing to invite God. Zhao Yan thought about it, bowed his hand to the court, and said: "The words of the Fuzun have been written down by the students, so the heavens will descend on the people of Si, and they must first suffer their minds...... Buff what it cannot. The Fuzun was full of sincerity, and the students were grateful. ”

"Good. You can have such a mind, it seems that the official has not mistaken you. Hearing this, Governor Han stroked his beard and smiled, and looked at Zhao Yan more and more.

The two of them were talking here, one by one, when suddenly a voice came from outside: "Report...... The eldest lord, there are two people outside the front door who ask to see him, saying that it is the deputy Qianhu of the Jinyi Guard and his lieutenant, and they want to have an interview with the eldest lord because of official business. ”

Jin Yiwei? Why did these scum come to the official office? The Han prefect hated Dongchang and Jinyiwei, but it was a pity that the backstage of these two yamen was Wang Zhen, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal, and even Ma Yu, a cabinet scholar, did not dare to take it lightly, not to mention his small four-grade prefect.

After thinking for a moment, Governor Han still said outside: "Bring them here, and the official will go to change clothes." ”

Seeing this, Zhao Yan felt that it was time to leave, so he arched his hand and said: "Today, I have to hear the words of Fuzun, it is better to study for ten years, and it is inconvenient for students to stay for a long time, so I will leave." ”

Governor Han encouraged him a few more words, then ordered someone to lead Zhao Yan and saw him leave the hall.

The road to the time is the same as the road to the time to come, Zhao Yan is not a road idiot, even if he can go out, but since the Han prefect was kind enough to let him show him the way, it was inconvenient for him to refuse, so he followed the official and walked while looking at the surrounding buildings and scenery.

When detouring to the lobby of the government, Zhao Yan unexpectedly met with the two brocade guards who came to visit the Han prefect's mansion on a narrow road, and according to the system, the people should avoid the officials, so Zhao Yan and the officials who led the way avoided aside, and waited for the officials and the two brocade guards who led the way on the opposite side to pass first.

Zhao Yan swept a figure out of the corner of his eyes, and suddenly felt very familiar, and raised his head slightly to take a peek, but he didn't want to see the face that had only been separated for a short time.

The words 'Brother Li' were about to be exported, but Li Xun on the opposite side suddenly made a look, Zhao Yan understood, and lowered his head again as a 'quail'.

Li Xun is Jinyiwei? Isn't he the second son in the family, although his father Li Xun is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, but Li Xun has no right to inherit, so he devoted himself to the imperial examination, why did he change his body now and put on a Jinyi Guard's clothes to see the Han Governor's Mansion? And when he left, he lied that he was going to visit his father's old friend, which I really can't understand.
