Although it has entered autumn, today's autumn tiger is a little stronger than in previous years, and it has the meaning of tiger devouring people, so that Wuchang City is like a heavy furnace, which makes people breathless. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn the afternoon, the humid and muggy air makes it difficult for even the lazy to sleep, and even the refreshing frozen sour plum soup can't eliminate the heat wave around them.

However, the chilled sour plum soup is not something that ordinary people can drink, after all, this small family does not necessarily have an ice cellar, but in Wuchang, there are actually no big households now, even if it is the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, it will be difficult to see the iced sour plum soup, just because last winter was when the Cantonese bandits entered the city, when the city was burned and the people were all plundered, naturally no one took ice from the river, and even after the rebels entered the city, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion did not send anyone to take ice.

There is no ice in the business, and there is no ice in the governor's mansion, so naturally there is no frozen sour plum soup in Wuchang. However, this midsummer has survived, and it is naturally not worse than the current few days.

"Are you really leaving?"

In the back garden of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Zhang Jieyu looked listlessly at Zhao Ziyu who was following her, no, it should be said that it was Zhao Ziyu, for the outside world, he was the housekeeper of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

"If it ......"

If she could, Zhang Jieyu didn't want to go, and even when she mentioned leaving, she couldn't help but touch her stomach, now she is a little pregnant, and she has to dress loosely, otherwise she will really be seen.

"Sister, if you don't leave, you won't be in a hurry!"

Zhao Ziyu smiled and said:

"Now that the Han army is going south and the Cantonese bandits are going north, the Han River will naturally be navigable, sister, you just have to listen to my arrangement."

couldn't help but look at Zhao Ziyu beside him, the brilliance and excitement in his eyes made Zhang Jieyu a little curious, she couldn't even understand why she insisted on taking herself away, but for the sake of the child in her womb......

Leave Wuchang!

When will he know? What will happen? And the big brother, what about the big brother?

"Sister, don't worry, when you arrive in Shaanxi, I will never let you and your children be a little angry!"

Zhao Ziyu just didn't swear, and now in his opinion, there is no more suitable choice than Zhang Jieyu, which can not only "take revenge", but also solve the future of the Zhao family, to be precise, the future of her Zhao Ziyu. As long as Zhang Jieyu arrives in her hometown in Shaanxi, she will be the eldest wife of the Zhao family's sixth room, and as for the child in her womb, she is naturally her Zhao Ziyu's child. How could she treat them badly, not to mention that in her opinion, taking Zhang Jieyu away was originally to repay her kindness, and she would have to save the end of being killed in the future.

"I believe in you, Ziyu, but ......"

"Sister, this is for the child in your belly......"

Again, Zhao Ziyu used the excuse she was best at.

"The eldest lady, can you tolerate him?"

Can you tolerate him?

If it is an ordinary person, naturally there is no worry about this, but ...... Is this an ordinary person?

Zhang Jieyu's mind sank, now that person is the governor of Dadu, if he wins the world in the future, he will be a figure like Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, so how can the eldest lady tolerate the two of them? The stories that appeared in the book immediately came to her mind, and those stories only made her tremble all over, and even nervously pressed her lower abdomen.

"I, I...... But, but ......"

But now that he's still on the march, what will happen to him if he just leaves and lets him know? How do you think about yourself?

"Sister, you have to know that no matter how late it is, there will be no hurry!"

There's no rush to come any later!

yes, it couldn't be any later......

With a long sigh in her heart, Zhang Jieyu nodded silently, and when her brows drooped, the tears flowed down instantly.

"Hey......"

A few days later, under the big willow tree on the bank of the new river under Wuchang City, looking at the fleet sailing into the Yangtze River, the woman standing in the shade of the tree let out a long sigh, and her eyebrows still seemed to be sad.

"Young grandma, it's time to go back!"

Looking at the young grandmother who was frowning, Zhu Fucai reminded softly that the young grandmother should not have come here in the first place, and this matter should not involve her in any case.

"Rich and rich, you say, why is my mind so vicious now!"

Xu Lingyun's eyebrows were worried, but there was a thick look of chagrin in her words.

"How did I become like this!"

At this time, Xu Lingyun even hated herself, after all, I don't know how many people will be implicated in this incident, let alone how many people will die.

"Madam, young master, the affairs of this inner mansion are naturally all up to you, and you are also for the young master!"

Zhu Fucai's eyelids drooped, there were some things he shouldn't know, but at this time he was a little jealous of Zhang Sen, he just reported a letter to the house, as for the next, it was all handled by him, and it was better not to know this kind of thing. After all, it's not a glorious thing.

"I don't want to ask about this inner house......

Saying this in her mouth, when Xu Lingyun's eyes drooped, tears suddenly fell like rain, and now she is always forcing herself to harden her heart, because she is the main mother of the mansion, just like this matter, she not only has to pretend not to know, but also deal with this matter quietly, this is for the face of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Of course, the more important point is that she is also for herself, for herself, so she will pretend not to know about it and let everything develop so far. For her, she did it because, ...... That woman has a body! Sometimes, she has to be ruthless, whether it is for herself or for the young master, she has to be ruthless.

"You are the eldest lady that the young master Ming Media is marrying!"

Zhu Fucai reminded softly, and then reminded again.

"Young grandma, it's time to go back!"

Nodding silently, he glanced at the flotilla in the middle of the river again, and when he turned to get into the carriage, Xu Lingyun commanded softly.

"Send the letter to the young master! As for what's next, I, I don't want to ask......"

For Zhu Yifeng, who is far away in Changsha, he naturally doesn't know what happened at home, for him who just came to Changsha for more than ten days, almost every day is immersed in the "good news" from all over the world, after Changsha was easily conquered by Zuo Zongtang, he connected several mansions, which was completely like an offensive like devastating and decaying, but it was only twelve days, and it was connected to Hengzhou, Baoqing, Yongzhou and Guiyang. And basically means that the land of Hunan has been occupied, and it has almost controlled the land of the two provinces in less than a year, how can he not be excited.

However, although the territory has expanded, it is not without hidden worries, just like in the study at this time, Zhu Yifeng is here to listen to the opinions of Zhang Liangji, Hu Linyi and others, because Lin Zhiping and others are staying in Wuhan, at this time, he can only listen to the opinions of a few of them, and this opinion is very simple, it is a matter of selecting and employing people.

In fact, Zhu Yifeng does not have many choices for selecting and employing people, because in the 1850s there were not many talents in China who were proficient in the West, and at this time, he and Liu Kun, a scholar and politician in Hunan, were talking about another issue.

"Taking Hunan as an example, how many people under the age of 15 in Hunan Province have passed the show?"

The reason why Liu Kun was asked this question was very simple, because he was the highest-ranking "education official" in the governor's mansion, and the reason why he asked this question, Zhu Yifeng had his own plans.

The question of the Metropolitan Governor made Liu Kun, who had just joined the Governor's Mansion, think about it for a while, although he was a little unclear, but he still spoke.

"Those under the age of 15 who can show their talents, there are no more than dozens of people in the province, and all of them are famous talents in the province......"

"Dozens of people, talented ......"

Noticing that the Metropolitan Governor's expression seemed to be a little serious when he heard about these dozens of people and talents, he hurriedly added.

"Back to adults, in this small test, the candidates are called children, also known as Confucian children and literary children. Although those who are not admitted to the white head do not change the name of children, the children's examination includes three stages: county examination, government examination and hospital examination. It is held twice every three years. Chou, Wei, Chen, and Xu years are the annual examinations, and Yin, Shen, Si, and Hai are scientific examinations. Those who are admitted to the college examination are students, and they are sent to the government and county school palaces, which are called admission. The annual examination and the scientific examination are examinations for students who have already entered the school. ”

Liu Kun explained cautiously, lest he accidentally annoy the Metropolitan Governor in front of him, he is not Luo Bingzhang, let alone Zhang Liangji, but he is just a dispensable academic administrator, and now that the Metropolitan Governor has to ask alone, how can he not seize this opportunity.

"My Hunan is really a cultural area, and the literary style is only a hundred years? Although the people of the world often say that only Chu is talented, but Hunan should not be underestimated, although Hunan Province is under the age of 15 and has won the talent, but there are only dozens of people, but there are no less than 1,000 people who can pass the county test, and there are no less than hundreds of people who pass the government test......

"Oh! There are so many! ”

There are more than 1,000 people who have passed the county test!

As soon as he heard this number, Zhu Yifeng's face suddenly showed joy.

"Hunan can have this kind of cultural governance, Mingju has worked hard!"

Listening to the affirmative tone in the words of the Grand Governor, Xu Kun's mood was much better than just now, at least he was no longer as sincere and fearful as before.

"The governor of the capital said this, the ministry where the Tao dares to be, what the ministry does is just a matter of duty, it is really the blessing of Hunan's literary style, how dare the profession be greedy."

There were words on his lips that he didn't dare to take credit, but Xu Kun said as if his achievements had been recognized.

"The Metropolitan Governor asked about this, Mo Bai is preparing to take the imperial examination?"

It is only natural that the imperial examination is a natural thing, that is, the short-sighted person who is as short-sighted as a Cantonese bandit has also held the imperial examination in Wuchang to select talents. What's more, it is a great metropolitan governor with the momentum of the sky, and now the governor has jurisdiction over two provinces, and the people in the region are no less than 40 million.

"I do have this idea!"

Nodding, Zhu Yifeng looked at Liu Kun with a smile.

"However, this imperial examination is not the same as in the past, I want to set up a school in Wuchang!" (To be continued.) )
