XXXIV. Recommendation

Bianliang City is divided into the Great Inner Imperial City, the Inner City, and the Outer City, with a permanent population of more than one million people, and is the largest city in the world today. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info So even the old coachman in Bianliang City can't recognize the whole way, let alone Chen Yan, a newcomer who has just been here for a few months.

Carrying the four treasures of the study, Chen Yan returned to his house, planning to ask carefully when Zhao Zongxuan and Di Yong came.

Entered the outer hall, put things on the table, picked up the teapot and poured a few sips of herbal tea, Xu heard the movement outside, Gu Qiaoxi walked out of the room, saw Chen Yan's arrogant appearance, and couldn't help but smile: "How can the son not be dignified, otherwise how can he be like our great talent in Bianliang City!?" ”

"Ugh!" Chen Yan put down the teapot, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "Even you came to tease me?" ”

Gu Qiaoxi shook his head slightly, but he remembered something, so he turned around and entered the room, took out a wooden box, put it on the table, and said: "Brother Wang Dynasty just came, saying that those items have been exchanged for cash, and they exist in five different silver numbers, and these are all credentials. ”

"Oh!" Chen Yan didn't look at it either, and asked, "Didn't you say how much silver was exchanged?" ”

"Fifteen thousand taels. Brother Wang said that the hundred taels of gold were not exchanged, but directly stored in the silver number. ”

Chen Yan was immediately overjoyed, 15,000 taels of silver, plus 100 taels of gold, he became rich overnight, this will be placed in the future generations, it is estimated that it will be close to the ranks of billionaires. However, I have to say that the ability of the dynasty Mahan is still very strong, if it is replaced by others, those objects can be exchanged for more than 10,000 taels of silver. After all, the two of them have been on the street for a long time, and who doesn't sell them some face!

"Oh, by the way, there are more than three hundred taels of silver, and Brother Wang said to use it for the daily expenses of the son."

With this cold silver, Chen Yan couldn't sit still, and desperately wanted to experience the feeling of being a local tyrant, so he took Gu Qiaoxi's hand and said, "Let's go shopping, buy whatever you want." ”

Gu Qiaoxi didn't break free, let Chen Yan hold his little hand, pouted and said, "Isn't the son going to Yanfu?" ”

"Ugh!" Chen Yan scratched his head a little embarrassed: "I don't know where it is?" ”

Of course, Gu Qiaoxi, as a woman, has an incomparable love for shopping, and when she saw Chen Yan say this, she smiled slightly, broke away from his hand, entered the room, took a cloak, put on a veil, and went out shopping with Chen Yan with great interest.

Speaking of Chen Yan's family, there are really a lot of things to buy, after all, there are three people living in it now, and Gu Qiaoxi is here again, so the two of them bought more than a dozen sets of winter clothes in the ready-to-wear store, and went to the gouache store to buy a lot of rouge gouache, and then went to the ......

After an hour and a half, Chen Yan finally understood why he was a dick in his previous life, not only did he have no money, but he also didn't understand a woman's mind! And what he understands better is that as soon as a woman goes shopping, her combat power soars, not to mention him, it is estimated that even Di Yong will have to bow down when he comes.

"Buy these today!" Gu Qiaoxi stood on the side of the road and said happily.

Chen Yan looked at Gu Qiaoxi, who was full of energy, and said in his heart, I guess you said this because I couldn't take anything anymore, right? But this feeling of spending money is really good, the two of them spent almost two hundred taels in an hour and a half, and he didn't feel distressed, Nima's, this feeling of being a local tyrant is good!

When the two returned home, Chen Yan threw the big bag directly on the ground, and the whole person fell asleep, not wanting to get up at all. Gu Qiaoxi was squatting somewhere, sorting the items that the two of them bought, completely ignoring the feelings of her son-in-law!

Seeing this, Chen Yan was angry, looked at Gu Qiaoxi, and said, "Come and give my son a beating on the back." ”

Gu Qiaoxi raised her head when she heard this, blinked, but understood her son-in-law's careful thoughts, so she got up and walked over, sat beside him, stretched out two small fists, and gently pounded them. Chen Yan forced his eyes and hummed, comfortable! It feels so cool to let this Gu everyone, who is full of Bianliang, beat his back, although he can only watch it, take advantage of it or something, but he just can't correct the Fa on the spot!

Before he could beat it a few times, Zhao Zongxuan rushed in and shouted, "Third brother, third brother!" Belch...... Go on, I'll go out and sit for a while! ”

"Your uncle!" Chen Yan got up, looked at Zhao Zongxuan, who was sitting in the outer room, looking at his room with thief eyebrows, and said angrily: "If you have something to say, get out of here if you have nothing to do, delay Lao Tzu's good deeds!" ”

Zhao Zongxuan's guy is definitely suffering, like an aggrieved little daughter-in-law, and said: "Of course there is something important to find you!" ”

Gu Qiaoxi smiled slightly, and said softly: "Go son, the slave family will make tea for the two sons." ”

Chen Yan came to the outer hall very reluctantly, sat opposite Zhao Zongxuan, and said angrily: "What's the matter, hurry up, I just enjoyed it for a while." ”

"You're famous!"

"Nonsense, it's up to you."

"Uh, then tell me something you don't know, Zhao Zongshi recommended you to the official family!"

Chen Yan was taken aback, and then heard Zhao Zongxuan continue: "The official family also responded, as for how the official family will deal with it, I naturally don't know." ”

Chen Yan quickly analyzed in his mind, this Zhao Zongshi recommended him probably not out of some love psychology, because if Zhao Zongshi didn't know the relationship between him and Zhao Zongxuan, it would be strange! And Zhao Zongxuan is now equivalent to one of Zhao Zongshi's potential opponents to ascend to the position of prince, so from this point of analysis, Zhao Zongshi will definitely not be so kind. Could it be because of the Liu family?! Chen Yan thought about it, I am afraid that there is only such a possibility, although there are few people in the Liu family who are officials in the court now, but the influence is definitely there. If Zhao Zongshi knew that he had a marriage contract with the young lady of the Liu family, it was very likely that he would recommend him, and then win the favor of the Liu family, because this is a series of things, and the relationship between the Liu family and the Cao family has always been very good, you must know that it is Queen Cao's maiden family. And the Cao family not only has only one Queen Cao, but also an uncle of Cao Guo and a lord of Cao!

Zhao Zongxuan saw that Chen Yan's face was cloudy, so he said, "Isn't this a good thing?" If you can really get the favor of the official family and directly give you the same Jinshi background, you don't have to take the provincial examination and the general examination, and you can directly become an official. There are many precedents for this recommendation system, and Zhao Zongshi's special identity is very likely.

"I always feel unsure. If you were Zhao Zongshi, would you pave the way for your opponent for no reason? ”

"Of course not!"

Chen Yan said meaningfully: "That's not it, even you won't, let alone Zhao Zongshi, who has endured it for so many years." In his opinion, Zhao Zongshi has been living with a mask since he was a child, and after so many years, I am afraid that even he can't tell which one is the real him. This can be seen from the dispute between Zhao Zongshi and Empress Cao after he succeeded to the throne.

Zhao Zongxuan could be regarded as hearing the meaning of Chen Yan's words, and pointed to himself and said: "The third brother means that I am very mediocre for my brother?" ”

"Now it seems to be true."

"Ugh!" Zhao Zongxuan was speechless, and said in his heart that I am also your sworn brother, is it really good for you to hit your brother so directly?

Among the three of their brothers, Di Yong has the highest political IQ, but the limitations of the times are too great, and Zhao Zongxuan has no political IQ at all, Chen Yan, in fact, he is not the kind of person with superb IQ, but he has more than a thousand years of knowledge than other people in this era, so the path he chose is destined to be difficult to follow!

Kaifeng Mansion, Zuo Chengtian Gate, here is the Yamen of the Imperial City of the Great Song Dynasty.

This Imperial City Division is similar to the Ming Dynasty's Jinyi Guard, in charge of the palace ban, the inner court of the guard, and the intelligence of the spy, the power is naturally not small, and there are three people in the Imperial City Division today, each in charge, Huang Bingtian is the inner servant, in charge of the palace ban, Liu Shan is from the Northwest Frontier Army, responsible for the inner court of the guard, and this person responsible for spying on intelligence, except for today's officials, outsiders have no way of knowing. Even Huang Bingtian and Liu Shan have never seen the true face of this person, only know that this person's name is Yejin.

On this day, it is rare for Ye Jin to return to the Ya, Huang Bingtian and Liu Shan naturally have to come for a while, because as long as Ye Jin returns to the Ya, it will inevitably bring important news. Among the three, Huang Bingtian was the leader, so his signing room was naturally in the main hall, so he and Liu Shan naturally waited for this night brocade in the main hall.

Yejin was dressed in a black robe, covered with a black cloak, and gathered the whole person in it, and slowly walked into the main hall, Huang Bingtian was an inner attendant, that is, a eunuch, so there was a male duck voice: "Yejin business, what news did you bring back this time?" ”

A brown paper bag flew out and landed steadily on Huang Bingtian's table, and Ye Jin's hoarse voice that made it difficult to distinguish gender sounded: "The message that Your Majesty asked for last month is in it." ”

Huang Bingtian looked at the brown paper bag and asked with some puzzlement, "Why don't you present the official business of Yejin directly to Your Majesty?" "The three of them are all official affairs of the Imperial City Division, so naturally they all have the right to meet the official family directly.

"This official business is leading people to search for the spies of the White Tiger Hall, and I have no time to enter the palace, so this matter is bothering Huang Gongshi."

It didn't take half an hour for this brown paper bag to be presented to the desk of Zhao Zhen, the current official.

Zhao Zhen is only forty-two years old this year, in the prime of life, with a gentle temperament and even more generosity towards his subordinates, and is known as the eternal benevolent monarch by later generations! However, God's will makes people, Zhao Zhen's three sons all died young, and the harem has not come out so far, under the pressure of all parties, Zhao Zhen will let the seventh son enter the palace to study, and this does not mean anything, because no matter how generous Zhao Zhen is, he is also an emperor.

The things sent by the Imperial City Division on official business, others naturally did not dare to open them, and the things sent by Yejin can only be opened by today's officials, so Zhao Zhen tore open the paper bag with his own hands, and inside was a stack of paper, which was densely written with fly's heads.

Zhao Zhen flipped through it, picked out one, and looked at it.

Chen Qicheng, twenty years old, born on April 19 in the tenth year of Tiansheng, his father Chen Huanzhi, the second year of Qingli Jinshi.....................................
