Chapter Forty-Six: Farewell

Out of the Hengwang Mansion, Zhong Yu went straight to the prefect's yamen. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhong Yu planned to say goodbye to Governor Zhang, and asked him to mention himself by the way.

is about to go to the capital, it is said that the water in the officialdom in Beijing is deep and muddy, and Governor Zhang has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, Zhong Yu feels that it is necessary for him to mention himself.

……

In the second wing room of the prefect's yamen, Governor Zhang was chatting with Zhong Yu.

"My lord, what kind of food is this prince's attendant?" Zhong Yu has always wanted to find someone to ask what kind of official this prince is, and when he met Governor Zhang's mansion at this time, he naturally wanted to ask for clarification.

"The grade of the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is from the fifth grade, and this waiter is the sixth grade, but although this bachelor and the waiter have the responsibility of teaching the prince, they are not only teaching for the prince, but also the duties of writing literature and history, drafting edicts, and explaining the scriptures. This holy will, the official position of appointing you as the prince's attendant, I think it is also similar to the official rank of the scholar's attendant in this Hanlin Academy, but you are probably a waiter who specializes in teaching and reading for the prince, and it should also be the sixth grade! ”

"Zheng Liupin!" Zhong Yu couldn't help but shout happily, when he received the decree in the Hengwang Mansion, he thought that this prince's attendant was one and a half levels higher than the prince from the Jiupin Palace, but he didn't expect this holy decree to become a civil official of the sixth grade, and the official was promoted several levels!

A few days ago, I was still worried about how to become a seven-rank civil official and marry a daughter-in-law, and suddenly became the prince of the six-rank prince.

Seeing that Zhong Yu was a little carried away, Governor Zhang couldn't help but say earnestly: "The positions of reading and lecturing in the Hanlin Academy are generally the top scholars in the scientific examination before they can enter the Hanlin Academy. Although Wen Hao, the prince's attendant, may not be the same as the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, but you are a talented person to take this important position, which is really a great grace of heaven. However, Wen Hao only shows off his talents, and he is afraid that he will be looked down upon by those orthodox literati. But Wen Hao don't be discouraged, in the past, Yang Zhongmin Gong was also a Xiucai background, not Wu Defeng Xingji Marquis, Wen Dejin Rites Department Shangshu, Wen Hao don't be discouraged, take Yang Zhongmin Gong as an example, always encourage yourself! "Zhong Yu has seen those things in the Ming Dynasty in later generations, but he knows that the Yang Zhongmin Gong in the mouth of Zhang Zhifu is the Yang Shan Yang Da Xiucai who is a talent who can enter the book with literature and become a marquis.

Governor Zhang continued: "Wen Hao is going to Beijing to serve as the prince's attendant, which is a good future. Today, there is only one son of the crown prince, and it is a matter of time before the prince ascends the throne. It is not difficult to grasp the opportunity to soar in the future! But remember, stay true to your heart and be cautious in everything! ”

"Thank you for mentioning it, and the students will remember it with their love!"

Governor Zhang took out a piece of stationery, pondered for a while, and after thinking about it, he picked up the pen and worked hard to write, and soon a letter was written. Governor Zhang folded the letter, put it in an envelope, and said to Zhong Yu: "Jingshi is deep, in case you want to encounter any trouble, you can take this letter and go to the Ministry of Industry Yu Hengqing official Si Mingyu Shengming Langzhong, maybe he will look at my thin noodles in the same year and help you!" However, although he is a five-grade Ministry Langzhong, I am afraid that he will not be able to help much, after all, there are many high-ranking officials and magnates in Beijing, you must do it yourself! Zhang Zhifu originally wanted to write a letter to his mentor Yang Yiqing Yang Gong, but then thought that Yang Gong was now acting Ma Zheng in Shaanxi, and he was also out of reach of the Beijing Division, so he remembered his own same year, Langzhong Ming Yusheng of the Ministry of Industry.

Zhong Yu was also very moved when he saw that Governor Zhang was helping him so much, and he couldn't help but take a deep look and said, "The student has thanked the adults for their kindness!" ”

……

Zhong Yu, who came out of the prefect's yamen, hired a carriage and went straight to the Gaofu of the Qingzhou Acropolis, and Zhong Yu was happy along the way as if he had picked up a gold ingot!

Of course, in fact, a six-rank official fell from the sky and smashed it on Zhong Yu's head, which was even more exciting than picking up a gold ingot.

Now that he is a six-grade civil official, see what excuse his father-in-law has to make it difficult for himself!

When he arrived at Gaofu, Menzi led Zhong Yu straight to the living room in the front yard of Gaofu. Now that the disciples of Gaofu already know that Zhong Yu is likely to become his aunt in the future, he naturally does not dare to slack off.

……

In the living room in the front yard of the Gao family, Gao Qi, his son Gao Yu, and daughter Gao Wan looked at the holy decree that Zhong Yu took out in a daze.

Gao Qi didn't know what to say for a while, originally he said what the covenant of the seven products was, because he thought that Zhong Yu was difficult to complete, so he knew the difficulty and retreated, but who would have thought that Zhong Yu had only been a few days, how could he become the prince of the sixth grade.

Gao Wan finally realized what this holy decree represented, cheered, and threw herself into Zhong Yu's arms.

With nephrite in his arms, especially the two plump buds on his chest, Zhong Yu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. But then I thought that my father and brother were still there, and hurriedly reminded Gao Wan.

Gao Wan left Zhong Yu's arms with a red face and laughed in a low voice: "Wan'er is about to marry Zhong Lang, what are you afraid of?!" ”

Zhong Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Gao Wan's delicate and lovely appearance.

Gao Yu congratulated Zhong Yu with a smile and said, "Congratulations to Wen Hao for his promotion!" ”

Zhong Yu hurriedly replied: "Joy, joy!" ”

Zhong Yu turned to Gao Qi, who was sitting at the table with the holy decree, and said, "Father-in-law looks at the marriage of the little son-in-law and Wan'er......

Gao Qi finally didn't face Zhong Yu anymore this time, and said with a smile: "Are you afraid that the old man will break his promise? Is the old man like that? Tomorrow you will enter Beijing, and when you settle down, I will naturally send someone to send Wan'er to Beijing, pick a good day, and let you get married! ”

Zhong Yu hurriedly bowed to Xie Gaoqi and said, "Thank you father-in-law for your success!" ”

Gao Qi now accepts the reality that Zhong Yu is his son-in-law, but plans to get up for Zhong Yu. Gao Qi wrote a letter to the British Duke and handed it to Zhong Yu, so that when he encountered any trouble, he went to ask the British Duke, maybe the British Duke could help him. The Gao family, as a member of the British government, has been around for a hundred years, and it still has a little face in front of the British government.

At noon, Gao Qi asked the mansion to hold a banquet and beckoned all the prominent figures of the Gao family to participate. This Gao family banquet is not only to announce Zhong Yu and Gao Wan's family affairs, but also to be regarded as Zhong Yu's trip.

After the banquet, Zhong Yu and Gao Wan were tired of being together for an afternoon.

It wasn't until it was more than one hour, seeing that the sun was setting, and Zhong Yu didn't leave, so he couldn't enter the city before the gate of Fucheng was closed, and Gao Wan's eyes were red and she reluctantly let Zhong Yu leave.

Parting is always sad, Zhong Yu told Gao Wan not to send him tomorrow, since she is destined to part, don't be sad again.

……

When Zhong Yu returned to the Yuelai Inn, he found that someone was waiting for him.

The person who waited for him was his own horse boy Yang Fan, and it was obvious that Yang Fan knew that he was going to the capital.

Zhong Yu got along with Yang Fan in the past few months, and found that although Yang Fan was slippery, he had always gotten along well with him, and he was such a friend in Qingzhou, so he really had some parting feelings.

At that moment, Zhong Yu instructed the shopkeeper Chen of the inn to prepare a few kinds of wine and food, and planned to have a few drinks with Yang Fan.

The shopkeeper Chen personally brought up the wine and food, and when the wine and food were arranged, he was not in a hurry to leave, and stood at the table and said to Zhong Yu respectfully: "The villain congratulates Zhong Gongzi on his promotion to the prince's study, and the prince is about to enter Beijing. ”

Zhong Yu smiled, he didn't expect that he was rising now, and someone asked him to keep Mobao.

Zhong Yu has lived in Yuelai Inn for so long, and Shopkeeper Chen has always taken good care of himself, and Zhong Yu is not good at refusing him.

Zhong Yu said with a smile: "The book is shoddy in the line, I'm afraid it will be laughed at!" ”

"Zhong Gongzi is too modest, Gongzi is the dragon and phoenix among people, and the book must be excellent!"

Zhong Yu saw that he couldn't refuse, so he picked up the lake pen prepared by the shopkeeper Chen, dipped it in ink, pondered for a while, and wrote the four big characters "harmony and wealth generation" on the rice paper.

Zhong Yu learned calligraphy in later generations, and copied the font of Dong Qichang in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Although Dong Qichang is not very good, this calligraphy is definitely able to start a sect. His calligraphy is a combination of the styles of the Jin, Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, and is self-contained, with an elegant, ethereal and self-sufficient style of calligraphy. The stroke garden is beautiful and elegant, plain and simple. With the pen fine, always maintain the front, rarely pen, clumsy pen; In terms of chapter law, between words and words, between lines and lines, the layout of branches, sparse and symmetrical, and the ancient law is pursued. The use of ink is also very particular, dry and damp, and it is wonderful. Calligraphy to Dong Qichang can be said to be the culmination of ancient methods.

Zhong Yu copied Dong Qichang's calligraphy for many years in later generations, but it was still a charm of one or two points.

At this time, people naturally had not seen Dong Qichang's calligraphy, Chen shopkeeper and Yang Fan saw Zhong Yu's elegant and ethereal calligraphy, and couldn't help but praise loudly, Chen shopkeeper dried the ink like a treasure, and went downstairs with the word panel.

Yang Fan couldn't help but deepen his admiration for his eldest brother a little more, why can the eldest brother do everything so well!

……

After Shopkeeper Chen left, Zhong Yu and Yang Fan chatted with each other.

"Congratulations to the eldest brother! It's a pity that the eldest brother went to the capital, and the younger brother can't always listen to the teachings in front of the eldest brother! ”

"When you get the middle of the autumn, you will go to Beijing next year to participate in the spring festival, and in just a few months, our brothers will be able to get together again!"

"The younger brother is reluctant to part with the eldest brother, no matter whether the younger brother is in or not, the younger brother will go to Beijing to join the eldest brother, and the eldest brother must enjoy the food at that time!"

"Uh......" Zhong Yu said in his heart, is this to rely on himself?
