Chapter 82: Finally Becoming a Civil Servant! 〈Ask for a commuter pass〉
"You kid is still playing this fancy whistle with me", after a deep conversation just now, Zhao Laohu was obviously much more affectionate to Tang Que, and said after scolding with a smile: "Okay, I'll talk to Lao Yao about this in the afternoon, but when you enter the county office, remember to inform me if there is any movement on Zhang Wupo's side in the future."
is worthy of Zhao Laohu, and he really didn't eat any loss! Thinking in his heart, Tang Que naturally replied with a smile on his face: "Of course, no matter what, the county lieutenant is also Yingjun's fourth uncle."
"It's good to know this", don't look at Zhao Laohu, who is fifty-two years old, he is really heroic when he laughs out loud, quite a bit of the demeanor of the heroes in the green forest in "Water Margin", "Who are you the second daughter?" Still call me a county lieutenant? ”。
………………………………
Although there were quite twists and turns in the middle, the two things to be done were finally done properly, and Tang Cheng was in a much better mood when he walked out of the door of the Li family than when he came.
The woman's family received the letter, and the family affair between the two parties was officially agreed, so far, it was not good for the woman to follow him back to the residence over there, and she had to stay at home until she got married.
When Tang Que left, the Li family replied to the "marriage book", and then Tang Que handed over the marriage letter to the Tang and Zhang families, and they came forward to find Yin and Yang Xian'er to see the auspicious date, and then reported the date to the Li family, if the Li family had no opinion on this date, the two parties began to handle the marriage according to this date.
Although Li Yingjun married into the Tang family as a concubine, the whole procedure is exactly the same as marrying a wife, and even because of matchmakers like Zhang Xianling and Lin Xuezheng, her marriage this time is more beautiful than the vast majority of first-married women in Yunxi County.
Half a lifetime of marriage has been unhappy, this time the woman was finally able to sweep away the bad luck of the past, so it is not difficult to understand why she couldn't help but tear in front of many relatives when she sent Tang Que away!
The woman was crying with joy, she was happy, Tang Que was also very happy, this joy lasted until the car shop for a long time before it slowly calmed down, and from this, another thing also came to mind, "Second brother, what are you asking Zhao Laohu for?" ”。
"Also Zhao Laohu, big brother, you should change your name to Uncle Siniang", Zhang Xiangwen, who was looking out of the car window, teased Tang Que first, and then put down the window curtain and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, just ask him to help talk to my third uncle about the county government."
Zhang Xiangwen has just turned sixteen this year, but he didn't expect to have this idea, "Oh! You don't read anymore? ”。
"What's there to read in that bird book? Maybe I can really win the top prize? Since I entered the school at the age of six, I have long been tired of it", Zhang Xiangwen said that he really had a disgusting expression on his face when he was studying, "If you want to talk about my mind, in fact, I want to go to the army the most, but it's a pity that our Datang town army is too boring, and the border army is too bitter.
Speaking of this, Zhang Xiangwen smiled and said: "My third uncle was like Uncle Zhao when he was young, and he was so reckless and angry, so what? Brother, have you ever seen my third uncle's majesty now, and there are people calling 'third master' on the street all the way. He is now a first-class outstream, and after two years of qualifications, he can apply for an outflow to an instream, and at that time, the official uniform will be mixed, and he will become an upright official? If there is such a way to go, why should I go to the school to suffer that sin."
The official system of the Tang Dynasty is particularly detailed, not only the same grade is divided into positive and subordinate, but also there are the internal and external divisions, and the nine grades in the flow refer to the officials, all of which are official uniforms corresponding to the grades; The so-called flow outside the flow to the inside, that is, from the officials to the officials, after the transfer is the real official body, and it naturally has the identity of the officials in the "Tang Law" officials, good, and lowly people.
Because of his temperament, Tang Que saw a lot of classmates around him who were tired of studying in his later life, and he accepted this very well; Coupled with the fact that Zhang Xiangwen's family and his third uncle are subtle, it is not surprising that he doesn't want to go to school.
Seeing that he is really tired of studying, and he has thought about his future thoroughly, Tang Que is not good at persuading anything, after all, everyone has their own ambitions, "If you really think about it, I won't say it, speaking of which, if you can go to the county office, we will become colleagues in the future."
"Isn't it, and we are still one article and one martial arts, no matter how suitable it is", Zhang Xiangwen's words caused Tang Que to smile: "In this case, if there is a banquet in the evening, you can come together."
"Feast, who feasts whom?".
"Lin Xuezheng is setting up a banquet to invite your third uncle, I think you can tell Lin Xuezheng your thoughts first, and ask him to come forward to persuade your third uncle to be better, after all, your third uncle also hopes that you can take the right path from learning to becoming a scholar, if Lin Xuezheng comes forward to tell him that this road is not suitable for you, maybe he will stop this thought, and it is impossible to say if he follows your mind early."
"Hey, the eldest brother is the eldest brother, he thinks more thoroughly than me, to say that it is really evil, my third uncle is a rough man, he was better when he was young, how can he respect scholars more and more after he has grown older in the past few years, please Lin Xuezheng help and say, okay!" , Zhang Xiangwen said in his mouth, and he had opened the curtain and instructed the coachman: "Don't go back first, go to Lin Xuezheng's mansion."
Tang Que didn't go back after going to Lin Xuezheng's mansion, first helped Zhang Xiangwen talk about him, and then looked at the opportunity to talk about the results of the negotiation with Zhao Laohu, I heard that Zhao Laohu had agreed to come over, Lin Xuezheng was overjoyed, and immediately sent his confidant family to the county government to report the news.
After finishing the business, the three of them sat and gossiped at the Lin family, and when it was almost dark, they took two carriages to the restaurant that had been fixed.
It's strange to say, Zhang Xiangwen's third uncle Zhang Wensheng is somewhat similar to Zhao Laohu in terms of figure and appearance, it is really true that the two are both direct superiors and subordinates and sworn brothers, Tang Que felt a little familiar when he saw him, it was the leader of the escort Zhang County who went to the countryside to inspect last year.
Zhang Wensheng followed the county commander to the countryside last time, and the most impressive thing was Tang Que, and after returning to the city, he used Tang Que as an example many times to teach Zhang Xiangwen, which also indirectly contributed to the marriage between the two. For such a reason, Mr. Zhang is no stranger to Tang Que.
After hearing Zhang Xiangwen say that he had followed the example of the third uncle and Zhao Bo to worship Tang Que, although Zhang Wensheng said "nonsense", he was very pleased to see the smile on his face, and immediately took off a gold trowel he was wearing and stuffed it to Tang Que, only saying that it was a meeting gift from his uncle to his nephew, which was regarded as a confirmation of the friendship between the two in the middle of laughing.
Things are as Zhang Xiangwen said, although Zhang Wensheng did not get involved in the dispute between Zhang and Yao after Zhao Laohu, but in private he did have a lot of respect for Lin Xuezheng, the head of the literati sect in this county, and the four of them went upstairs to the Accord with greetings, and they were very lively and laughing.
After three rounds of drinking, Lin Xuezheng sent out the little two who served the wine, and began to officially enter the theme.
With Zhao Laohu's promise in front, Zhang Wensheng naturally had nothing to hesitate, I heard that Tang Que had become the niece and son-in-law of the sworn brother, and this marriage was also made by Zhang Xiangwen, Zhang Wensheng laughed and even called the fate, and repeatedly told him not to forget to invite him when officially marrying.
"Uncle Zhang has to tell his nephew to go to this matter", Tang Que poured wine for Zhang Wensheng while carrying the wine jar, and looked at Zhang Xiangwen with a smile and said: "The little nephew has no powerful relatives in the city, and when he gets married, he has to rely on the second brother to help him, if he really forgets to send a wedding to Uncle Zhang, it is not that the little nephew is disrespectful, it is all the fault of the second brother."
These words naturally attracted Zhang Wensheng and others to laugh, Lin Xuezheng smiled at the same time, he also nodded secretly to Tang Que in his heart, after all, he didn't see the wrong person that day, this Tang Cheng is not only talented in academics and willing to work hard, but also has a good brain, and he is a good person, and the most rare thing is his untrivial bearing. It's really weird, this person grew up in such a small mountain village, but it doesn't matter whether he saw Zhang Xianling that day or when he faces Zhang Wensheng now, he doesn't have the restraint of young people in the countryside, and if he talks well, he will liven up the atmosphere.
"Freak", Lin Xuezheng's evaluation of Tang Que in his heart was not derogatory, but implied some expectations, it was after getting along for more than half a year and understanding all aspects of Tang Que that Lin Xuezheng's thoughts were similar to that of the old master Yan in the village school that day.
This Tang is lacking, it is indeed promising!
It's just that Old Master Yan is from Tang Quan's talent and diligence in academics, and his foothold is also in the imperial examination, and the scope of his vision is relatively narrow; And Lin Xuezheng is an overall evaluation, and his promising sentence falls more on Shi Eun. At the age of eighteen or nineteen, he performed like this, and then slowly experienced it, but he was able to make it on the way.
Tang Que naturally didn't know that Lin Xue, who had a warm smile on his face, was thinking about this, but he had finished two major events during the day, and things were going well at night.
When he first crossed over more than a year ago, he was still worried that he couldn't eat enough, and when he first went into the city to look for a job, he also went to this restaurant, and his biggest expectation at that time was to be a little second brother in this restaurant, so as to earn a money to fill the grain storage hole at home.
At that time, how embarrassed and depressed he was when he walked out of the restaurant, and how could he have thought that just over a year later, he would be chatting, laughing, and eating in the best box of the restaurant as a VIP?
Life is impermanent, this is the case after 1,300 years, and it is still the same after traveling to the Tang Dynasty 1,300 years ago!
Feeling the impermanence of the world at the same time, Tang Que also had to sigh at the strength of the interpersonal network, thinking that it was precisely because he got acquainted with Old Master Yan that he had the opportunity to show his face in front of Zhang County Ling and Lin Xuezheng, it was this opportunity that enabled him to jump out of the small mountain village and enter the county school, and it was this opportunity that laid the groundwork for Zhang Xiangwen to take the initiative to find him to worship, and through Zhang Xiangwen, he naturally had an uncle and nephew with the general arrest of the county; As for Li Yingjun's side, not to mention, after knowing each other for more than a year, this beautiful woman has not only become his concubine, but also formed a real and solid relative with Zhao Laohu through her.
Because of the low starting point of the environment he was born in, so Zhang Xianling has the grace of knowing him, and it is this grace of knowing that makes it easier for Zhang Xianling to believe in him, after the test of Yao's master book, the difficult Zhang Xianling sent him to the state city to give gifts in a somewhat helpless situation, this time the matter was done well, Tang Que also won the real trust of Zhang Xianling through the outstanding performance of this matter, and became one of his henchmen.
One end is connected to Zhang County's order, one end is connected to Zhao County Lieutenant by Li Yingjun, and the other end is connected to Zhang Wensheng by Zhang Xiangwen, between the three factions of Yunxi County Ya today, he has become the most important lubricant and mediator between Zhang and Zhao, it should be said that the special interpersonal relationship has created him such a special position and role, and he is also playing this role at the same time, he has obtained the opportunity to enter the county government as a knife and pen officer, as long as Zhang and Zhao join forces this time to successfully exterminate Erlong Mountain, he will promote the two factions to join forces, People who are very close to both factions will certainly be able to obtain greater space for development and better opportunities for development.
On the surface, it seems that it is really lucky that Tang Que has been able to transform into what he is today in just over a year, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that this statement is actually very reluctant.
Tang Que's first person to thank the most was Old Master Yan, but why did he get Old Master Yan's favor? The most important reason is not his "talent" in schoolwork, but his down-to-earth attitude, and after this down-to-earth attitude, how much effort did Tang Que put in? Getting up early and going to bed late, studying hard, it can be said that it was he who really won the joy of Old Master Yan, and finally gave him a chance.
And it is the same with Li Yingjun, precisely because he has no intention of plotting for family wealth, and it is precisely because he is also very practical to Li Yingjun that he has today's result.
Really, yes, it's so simple to say, Tang Que's changes over the past year or so are actually rooted in the word reality, the world is not so lucky, in fact, the so-called luck is the inevitability of hard work.
For the feast, holding the wine bottle, Tang Que silently summed up the experience of more than a year, and unexpectedly came to a conclusion, being a person and doing things, just like farming at home at the beginning of the crossing, can be simply boiled down to two sentences: how many seeds, how many seedlings are harvested; How much sweat you sweat, how much you eat!
In the process of growing up, in the process of struggling upward, and no matter how you treat others, but you must be real to yourself, don't dream about how to hit the luck tomorrow, but should be really prepared, really do what should be done at hand, only in this way, when the opportunity comes, can we grasp it tightly, and finally turn the opportunity into real luck.
"Lady Luck only favors those who are prepared, this sentence is very cheesy, but it is indeed very real", Tang Que muttered to himself, completing the reflection and experience summary of his own days, and also established the direction and the most basic principle that he should uphold in doing things.
Tang Que firmly believes that as long as he can stick to this valuable experience gained from the deep land with sweat beads and eight petals, then, in his future life process, there will inevitably be more "luck" with him!
Originally, Lin Xuezheng asked Tang Que to come with the intention of being a lobbyist, but because Zhao Laohu was going well, there was really nothing to say here, so the original lobbyist became a companion. Although the liquor of the Tang Dynasty is all pressed liquor, far less than the degree of distilled liquor in later generations, it really can't stand Zhang Wensheng's massiveness, and finally Tang Que, the accompanying guest, was drunk, and it was all up to Zhang Xiangwen to send him home.
As for what happened when he got home, Tang Que didn't know at all, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning.
Tang Que, who opened his eyes, saw that it was already daylight outside, and in a daze, he suddenly sat up from the bed, during this time, he asked for leave in a row, and his schoolwork was pulled down a lot, and even the teacher who took the class looked at him with a bad face.
It wasn't until Tang Que looked at the hourglass with the timer on the side of the bed that he exhaled a breath and poured back on the bed.
Tang Que fell asleep on the bed for a while, and when he was almost awake from sleep, he turned over and got up, and after freshening up, he went to the county school.
Zhang Xiangwen is really simple enough to do things, his third uncle only agreed to let him enter the county government last night, and he didn't see anyone today, but when it was almost time to end school, he wandered over and packed up the things left in the school building.
Zhao Laohu is really resolute in doing things, and Yao's master book seems to be selling his face, Tang Que's entry into the county government is soft because of Yao's master book, although it is Zhang County's order himself, but the paperwork is not good, and now yesterday at noon Tang Que told the tiger about this, and this morning, there will be a handyman from the county government to report that the documents have been completed, so that Tang Que can join the company in the afternoon.
Although Master Yao didn't want to see Tang Que, he wanted to completely abolish his roots when he made a move before, and he couldn't be ruthless in doing things; But when it comes to Zhao Laohu, this person retreats very simply, after all, although he doesn't like Tang Que, he may not really think he is a dish, and offending Zhao Laohu for such a person is obviously worth the loss. Advance and retreat decisively, this Yao master book is worthy of being an old oilman in the yamen.
This news allowed Tang Que's good mood from yesterday to continue to be maintained, and after Zhang Xiangwen left the county school, the two agreed to report to the county government in the afternoon, and then went home without mentioning it.
After Tang Que arrived home, he unexpectedly found that Li Yingjun, who was supposed to stay at his parents' house, had actually arrived here.
"Don't stay at your mother's house", when the second entered the courtyard, Tang Que took the woman who came forward into his arms and said with a smile: "Why, I can't leave for half a while?" ”。
Yesterday received the marriage letter, the relationship between the two was completely decided, although there were still girls around at this time, Li Yingjun still hugged Tang Que's waist tightly, "Ah Cheng, you shouldn't be like that."
"What shouldn't I do?" , Although Tang Que asked with a smile, he understood in his heart what the woman was going to say, when he made the deed yesterday, he did not give the woman half of the family wealth if the two could not get along, as Zhao Laohu said, but first wrote the total amount of the woman's assets on the deed, and then indicated that once the two of them did not get along in the future, the property indicated by the woman on the deed could be taken away.
The situation is similar to the property notarization done by many young people in later generations before marriage, which is the embodiment of the unique spiritual outlook of post-80s men and women in the marriage relationship.
Very ordinary things in the later life, after the things that seemed normal to Tang Que were put in the Tang Dynasty, they had the power to shake people's hearts, not only yesterday Zhao Laohu was shocked, and then there was a big change in his impression of Tang Que, and even the two of them were able to talk privately in a good atmosphere It was thanks to this; And now Li Yingjun, who really understands the content of the deed, is like this.
Ay! Equality is such a good thing! From the later generations, when people were relatively equal, to the society where it was difficult to be equal between people and between men and women, many things that seemed normal in later generations were made but people were moved, which ...... Is it one of the hard advantages of the traverser?
Thinking about these things in his mind, Tang Que saw that the woman was about to speak, so he simply stretched out his hand to cover her red lips, "I told you a long time ago that I married you because of your people, not your money." Besides, maybe you are really ready to leave after marrying into the Tang family? ”。
"Hmm", because Li Yingjun was buried in Tang Que's arms, which made her voice a little vague, "If you don't leave, I'll follow you in this life, even if you whip me, I won't leave."
"It's natural to smoke, but it's not a whip, it's a ......", Tang Que deliberately pushed his body with a wicked smile, causing Li Yingjun's face to suddenly rise red.
After eating and resting for a while, Tang Que went to the county office, while the woman stayed at home and began to prepare for the marriage.
When Tang Que walked on the road to the county office, he didn't feel anything, but when he really stood under the plaque of "Yunxi County Ya", he was inevitably a little excited in his heart.
After more than a year, he has suffered from poverty and suffering, but from this moment on, he can officially enter the highest authority in the county.
Although he is not an official yet, he is just a sword and pen official, but no matter what, he has finally taken the first step, and from now on, he will be a civil servant of the Tang Dynasty!
