On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Tang Cheng went shopping with his family for a day, and then the orchids and apricot blossoms arrived, and there was a bad thing like Chen Huagui at night, and he tossed until late to sleep; On the morning of the twenty-eighth, after finishing the matter of retiring the book, the orchid couple was busy shopping and buying some New Year's goods, and Tang Cheng accompanied Li Yingjun to direct the girls to start hanging lanterns and preparing firecrackers.

As for the Tang and Zhang families, they were entangled by five grandsons and couldn't move, but they were also enjoying themselves.

Busy with these, although Tang Cheng's academic homework was temporarily stopped because of Old Master Yan's return home, he copied the powder book in accordance with Mr. Yan's instructions that day, and did not stop for a day.

On the morning of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Orchid and Baocheng had to rush home, after all, Baocheng's parents were still waiting at home, and they could not stay here for the New Year.

After sending away the orchid family, the five children also went to Yan'er, and the courtyard obviously felt a lot more deserted.

Seeing the carriage go away, Tang Zhang's sighed wistfully, stretched out his hand to hold Xinghua's four-year-old eldest daughter, and when he was about to lead his little grandson, the little dog ran to Tang Cheng upside down, pulled his clothes and raised his face and shouted: "Uncle, uncle."

It's strange to say, most of these five children were a little afraid when they saw Tang Cheng, but this little dog, maybe because Tang Cheng hugged him yesterday, was very affectionate to this uncle, if they were together in the past two days, he liked to pull the hem of Tang Cheng's robe when he walked the aisle, like a small tail.

This little nephew is much more beautiful today", Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and hugged the dog, and said with a smile: "The child is so beautiful, the name Goudan is really a little out of tune." It has to be changed".

"Your uncle is a scholar, and he has a lot of knowledge, so give him a nice official name", speaking of this, Tang Zhang looked at the apricot blossoms who accompanied him but did not say a word, bowed his head and sighed.

I'll pay attention to it, I must have given our nephew a good name", Tang Cheng really likes to make love with him, and with a smile on his face, he reached over and pinched his face. Hearing Tang Zhang's sigh, Tang Cheng turned his head and said to Xinghua: "Second sister, Chen Huagui is simply not a thing, this is a good thing to leave him." You can also live a relaxed life, you should be happy. Without a husband, don't you still have your parents and my younger brother? ”。

"Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve. And let go of the New Year's Festival, after the Yuan Festival, if you feel that you are not relaxed to live in my place, the next door is just inquiring about selling the house, I will buy it down, sister, you have a single family and another family, and I will naturally have the expenses. I won't talk about the child when he's still young, and when he's a little older, I'll take care of the things that go to school and ask my husband to do." At this point, Tang Cheng smiled slightly and said: "Without him Chen Huagui, second sister, your life is only better, don't worry, don't worry." Regardless of whether it is my father and mother and me, I will never let you and your children suffer the slightest grievance." Tang Cheng's words are commonplace. But it was a heart-warming truth, Tang Zhang's eyes were wet when he heard it, and the apricot blossom was stunned for a while and then burst into tears, and then couldn't help crying.

Tang Zhang and Li Yingjun were about to step forward to persuade them. was stopped by Tang Cheng. Let the second sister cry. She was too hard in her heart. In this way, you can feel more relaxed when you cry. It's also good for the body." That's it. Tang Cheng patted Li Yingjun's hand. "Yingjun. Tell them to go out into the street and ask two women who are skilled at sewing and scissors to come in. Buy a few more clothes for the second sister and two children. From now on. We're going to have to be glamorous. live happily".

Ying Jun agreed. At this time. Tang Cheng said milkily in the little dog in his arms. "Uncle. Do you have snacks and fruits to eat every day in the future? ”。

I opened it to eat". Tang Cheng laughed when he heard this. And they all laughed. The laughter diluted the last trace of sadness in the courtyard.

Go back to the inner courtyard. Li Yingjun went to instruct the girl. I just cried and went to wash my face. I saw her figure walking away. Tang Xuan, who had never spoken just now, patted Tang Chengdi's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Flowers." You've done a good job."

Tang Cheng knew that Tang Xuan had a knot in his heart for Xinghua. After all, it was he who set the marriage in the first place. Because he smiled and said: It's a family. What are you talking about? You can rest assured. The second sister has me. Wait for him to relax for a few days and come back. If you have the intention of remarrying. I must find him a good brother-in-law who is responsible. I will never let her suffer again."

The bolt nodded emphatically. Scratching the ground on his head, his hand finally let go. A reassuring smile appeared on his face.

"If you are in charge, you can rest assured", Tang Zhang pulled his eldest granddaughter over, "It's Ah Cheng...... I heard that you gave Chen Huagui fifty times? ”。

gave fifty times", looking at Tang Zhang's with a look of resentment, Tang Cheng pinched the dog's egg and said with a smile: This money is not for Chen Huagui, but for the second sister.

"Apricot blossoms?" , Tang Zhang was a little confused, and Tang Xuan also turned his face in surprise.

"Yes, it's the second sister! It's not that you don't know about her, she is too kind-hearted and too soft-hearted", Tang Cheng sighed, "If Chen Huagui hadn't said that he was going to sell her the night before yesterday, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so smooth last morning." One night husband and wife, not to mention that a young couple has two children, these fifty times should be regarded as buying peace of mind for the second sister! If it is for Chen Huagui, it will not be a loss to kill him", at this point, Tang Cheng smiled and said: "As for Chen Huagui's person, the more money he has, the less he will end well." I'm willing to bet he didn't go back to Yunxi, he was in the city's casino, and he was beaten sometimes."

"You deserve to be killed, drag it to feed the dogs", Tang Zhang scolded with relief.

Seeing that Tang Cheng gave Chen Huagui fifty yuan of money, and after that crying, Xinghua'er, who had been devastated by life, completely let go of her heart knot, and slowly had a smile on her face. The Tang family's Chinese New Year's Eve was just like the smile on her face, not ostentatious, but intriguing.

This is the first time since the time crossing that so many people have celebrated the New Year together, and with two three or four-year-old children making a fuss, Tang Cheng's family has a very festive New Year. It's funny that the dog has somehow become his tail, and he follows him there when he goes, chasing him closer than Tang Zhang's.

After the puppy eggs are washed and put on new clothes, it looks really pink, the child is two or three years old and it is the cutest time, every move, every word is often a gimmick, Tang Cheng really likes this nephew, coaxing him to play some games in the future every day, and his heart is completely relaxed. The indelible childlike joy of the post-80s generation in later generations is also vividly expressed in this process.

Seeing Tang Cheng rolling on the couch like a child and playing crazy with the dog, Tang Zhang, Li Yingjun and others were really dumbfounded at first, and then they had a different kind of thought in their hearts.

Not to mention that her mother-in-law is in a hurry, Li Yingjun herself is also in a hurry! She's twenty-nine. If someone else is her age, the children will be more than ten years old, how could she not want to be a mother, especially Tang Cheng likes children so much. To tell the truth, every time she looks at the puff on the ground, her heart is hotter than anyone else's.

As a result, there was a new errand every day for the Gao family in the stove room, and when she cooked dinner, she burned thirty red beans together, and the mantra for children was also recited by her in the dark, and the sun and moon were dark. Since then, Tang Chengzhen has been working hard every night to make people in the world.

Chinese New Year's Eve is over. The family went to the temple outside the city together on the morning of the first day of the new year, Tang Cheng didn't believe this, he just thought it was to go out to breathe, but Tang Zhang's was pious, he worshipped when he saw the Buddha, and kowtowed when he saw the Bodhisattva. The people in the room, big and small, were all recited by her; And Li Yingjun and Lancao are the main attack on sending the son Guanyin.

On the second day of junior high school, it was time to go to the New Year's ceremony, and when they got up in the morning, Tang Cheng and Li Yingjun went to Sun Yuanjun's house after tidying up.

When Tang Cheng was promoted to judge on the same day, Li Yingjun had come to the Assassin's Mansion and met Mrs. Sun, at this time, the two of them went to the inner courtyard to talk, and Tang Cheng was let to Sun Zhijun's study.

After offering tea, Sun Yuanjun held the tea cup in his hand and asked leisurely: "Tang Cheng, have you decided what you said a year ago?" ”。

Tang Cheng was stunned for a moment before he understood. What Sun Yuanjun said should be to let him find a way to go. After taking a sip of tea, he said with a smile: "I also told my parents about this in the new year, but they didn't want to leave."

But he didn't expect that after what he had said so clearly last time, Tang Cheng was still reluctant to leave. After carefully examining Tang Cheng again, he smiled and said lightly, "After the Shangyuan Festival, I should leave for the Lingnan Dao Chunzhou Assassin History is exact news!" There are still more than ten days before Shangyuan, if you are willing to go to Chunzhou with me, I will allow you to join the army in half a year."

Lingnan was not very good in the Tang Dynasty, it was a famous deserted place, although it was the same history of thorns, but it was transferred to Lingnan from Shannan Dongdao in Inner 6, in fact, it was still depreciative, but considering the relationship between Sun Yuanjun and Lin Baiyu, a confidant of the abolished prince, this degree of derogation was already very light.

It seems that Sun Yuanjun finally got through Shangguan Zhaorong's door. With Sun Yuanjun's means, if there is such a way, at least within two years, it should be a matter of time before he is transferred and promoted. After Tang Cheng heard this, his face was blank, and he got up and bowed his hand as a salute: Congratulations to the adults for their small setbacks.

"This matter is also the power of Lord Zheng, the envoy of Yangzhou City, in the final analysis, it is borrowed from you", at this point, Sun Yuanjun also stood up and returned the salute to Tang Cheng, "How about it?" What do you think of what I just proposed? ”。

"Thank you for your blue eyes", Tang Chengdi's thank you is indeed sincere, "It's just that my parents are here, I don't travel far, and my subordinates still want to stay in Jinzhou temporarily."

"It's not that your parents are there, you can't travel far, but you must have a way to travel, and you can't be too rigid about being a person", seeing that Tang Cheng was unmoved, Sun Yuanjun smiled at himself, and didn't persuade again, "That's it, everyone has their own ambitions!" Since you insist on staying in Jinzhou, you need to remember that in the future, things within the state government must be cautious first, and if things have reached the point where you can't do anything, come to me. It doesn't matter where the official serves, there is always your place under the government."

Cheng nodded. "I also heard about the entanglement between you and Ma Beijia at the Wenhui that day", after taking a sip of tea, Sun Yuanjun put the teacup aside and said to Tang Cheng: "If you look at the talent you showed in the Wenhui, the imperial examination is really promising. Since you can't do much in the state government in the future, you might as well turn your mind to this, Tang Cheng, you need to remember one thing. If you don't have fame, you can't be a chief official, and if you can't be a chief official, then it's not interesting for this official to do it."

Since he met Sun Yuanjun, this is the first time Tang Cheng has seen him speak so bluntly.

"I'd rather be a chicken head than a cow queen", facing Tang Cheng's gaze, Sun Yuanjun showed a very Jiangnan smile again, "Whether it's to display your ambitions or just make a living as a eunuch, you have to be pinched from time to time if you can't be a chief official." It doesn't feel good to be pinched on the ground! At this time, you are committed to the state government, listen more, see more and accumulate some experience, although it is good, but you must not indulge in it. It's just a matter of passing by in a mediocre manner. Spend more time on the imperial examination coursework, and once the title of the gold list is inscribed on a different day, and then ask Lord Zheng to go to the ministry to carry out activities, and let the county order come out. Even if it is a small county in the middle of nowhere, it doesn't matter, only the ruling party is the right way."

At this time, the yamen was not as good as the later generations before the crossing was divided into party committees and governments to check and balance each other, and the yamen of the Tang Dynasty had only one chief official responsible for all things, and the power was extremely concentrated, which was also the fundamental reason why Sun Zhijun was able to press the old horse to death.

Cheng nodded, his subordinates had never abandoned their studies." With Sun Yuanjun's speaking style, it is not easy to say such straightforward words, Tang Cheng is inevitably a little hot in his heart when he listens to it, just with these words, it is not in vain that he follows Sun Yuanjun.

After saying this, Tang Chengyin also took the opportunity to ask about the new envoy.

"The new envoy's name is Yao Rongfu. It is said that it is an old official released from the imperial city of Dijing", Sun Yuanjun carried a tea pot and refilled Tang Cheng's water, "I also vaguely got the news, I know so much, as for the temperament and preferences of this Lord Yao, it is unknown."

"Yao Rongfu", Tang Cheng whispered the name several times.

Seeing Tang Cheng like this, Sun Yuanjun smiled, "Although the news I heard didn't mention his temperament. But since he is an old official who has been in the imperial city for most of his life. It's always nice to think about it."

Adults mention it".

Or it's hard to say. But this point is categorically impossible to run. The temple supervisors of the various ministries in the imperial city, this is a common problem", Sun Yuanjun looked at Tang Cheng and shook his head with a smile, "This kind of Shangguan is not easy to serve!" ”。

When the two of them said this, someone came to report that the meal had been prepared.

After eating lunch in the Thorn Shi Mansion, the two said goodbye, along the way, Li Yingjun saw Tang Cheng at the beginning of the time and kept his head down thinking about something, so he didn't bother with speaking, but after walking for a while, he couldn't help it, "Ah Cheng, what are you thinking?" ”。

"Be an official, be the chief official!" , was originally a very normal sentence, but it made Tang Cheng say viciously at this time, "If you don't be the chief official, this yamen will not have a bird bastard."

Since last year's crossing, until last month, Tang Cheng has been running more for survival, farming, going to the village to study, to the county school, to the county government, and then to the state government, the starting point of his journey is for the most basic idea - to eat well, and until last month, he was able to get rid of poverty in the real sense.

In the past few days, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the family was harmonious and harmonious, reunited, looking at the house, thinking about the net worth, and the status of the judge in the state, not only the family was very satisfied with Tang Cheng's current situation, even Tang Cheng himself felt very good, he had struggled and sweated for more than a year, and now he can take care of his family to eat and eat well. Although he didn't say it, he was actually quite complacent in his heart.

Because of this, for the future, Tang Chengcheng didn't think too much about his own planning, and only lowered his head to pull the car, but forgot to look up at the road.

Today, it was Sun Yuanjun's straightforward words that woke him up, yes, he couldn't be satisfied with the status quo and indulge in the officials outside the stream.

Even if he is willing, even if he thinks that it is good to live an ordinary life like other colleagues in the state government, but now it is not possible, with Lao Ma here, it is destined that he will not be able to live this ordinary and leisurely life at least for now. Lao Ma has nothing else, but he is an official, as long as Tang Cheng is still mixed in the Jinzhou Yamen, he has to be pinched by him, and the feeling of being pinched by others is really unpleasant, very unhappy.

This is from the immediate point of view, in the long run, Tang Cheng has always had an idea since he went to Yangzhou last time, or more literally speaking, he has an ideal - if you give me one county and one state...... How can there be a county and a state?

Whether it is from a small place where you don't want to be pinched anymore, you and your family can live a more secure and safer life, or from a big ideal, the only way out is to be an official, to be an official in the stream, and you must be the chief official in the stream!

Only in this way will there be no more people who can pinch him like now; Only in this way can the ideal be realized.

If eating enough was Tang Cheng's first goal after crossing over, now this goal has been achieved; After a few months of Tang Cheng's confusion, he even felt a little complacent in his heart. After Sun Yuanjun's straightforward words, Tang Cheng woke up and set up a new goal.

Awakening is awakening, in fact, Tang Cheng has always had this idea, such as his hard work, and his continuous learning and reflection in the yamen, which are all intuitive manifestations of this idea. But everything before that was unclear and not too positive.

And today, that hazy idea is finally clearly displayed.

To be an official, whether it is for his family or his own ideals, he must be the chief official!

"Be an official, be the chief official!" , Tang Cheng said this sentence viciously like a declaration, announcing the establishment of a new goal in his life, and also announcing that he would not hesitate to sweat more for this goal! While spitting out this sentence, Tang Cheng suddenly seemed to feel that a force was born out of thin air in his body - perhaps, this is the power of **!

People will always have different goals in different situations and situations. The process of completing the old goal and generating the new goal is growth, from eating enough to being the chief officer, who knows why Tang Cheng will grow? What will be his next goal?
