The weather was still gloomy after the snow, the temperature plummeted, and the eaves of the streets were covered with rows of shiny ice edges, some of which fell more than two feet long. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info The small people in the market were worried about the tiles being hung down, and many people took bamboo poles and beat them in front of the house.

The children wore tiger hats, and they were not afraid of the cold in fat jackets, laughing happily to see the excitement, and when they saw an ice edge falling, they quickly ran up to pick it up, played with it in their hands, and showed off to their friends.

Zhang Yue rode a horse and walked in front with Wang Pu, followed by a hundred personal soldiers such as Feng Qianhou, Shi Chenghong, and Yang Xuanli, and Li Duoshou stayed in the palace and did not come. In the back carriage sat Fu Jinqiong and the maidservant Qingzhu, seeing Zhang Yue coming back to change into his official robe, saying that he was going to swim back to the palace of the queen mother of the mountain, so he asked to go with him, and by the way to the palace of the queen mother to offer incense.

It is not far back to the mountain, it is located in the inner side of the river fork at the confluence of the two rivers of Jingshui and Weishui, out of the Dingjing Gate of the South City, crosses the natural moat bridge of Jingshui, and arrives at the foot of the mountain on the road for more than two miles.

There is a pavilion here, and there are many pilgrims who have gone to the palace of the Queen Mother to worship in the early morning, and some of them have gone up the mountain directly along the stone steps of the mountain road, but they have left the entourage and slaves to drive the chariots and horses to stop outside the pavilion, and they have lined up a large area, and the snow on the ground has been crushed and full of ruts. A few young men and women, who had not yet made it up the mountain, were chatting in the pavilion with their hands on the railings.

Zhang Yue saw that there were too many cars and horses over there, so he got off the horse early, parked in the open space on the other side, and stepped forward to lift the curtain and help Fu Jinqiong down. People who are familiar with Zhang Yue are not surprised, but Wang Pu smiled and said: "Yuan Zhenxian and his wife are deeply affectionate and enviable!" ”

"Mr. Wang said with a smile, he helped the maids to get on and off the horse, and they got on and off the car, but they didn't look like a master!" Fu Jinqiong was a little embarrassed when she heard this, and replied with a smile.

"Haha...... Is it? Yuanzhen's words and deeds are really different, if you want to know etiquette, it looks very arrogant, but sometimes when you treat people and things, you are considerate, and I can't comment on how the family is small! Wang Pu also smiled.

Everyone nodded in agreement and laughed. Zhang Yue was embarrassed for a while, he didn't understand the officialdom etiquette and some customs of this era, but he was not very arrogant. Besides, the master must have his nostrils facing the sky and struggling.

"Mr. Wenber, please!" On an informal occasion, with personal friendship, Zhang Yue didn't dare to hold it up, so he invited Wang Pu and Feng Qianhou to go in front and help Fu Jinqiong to walk slowly.

The snow on the stone steps has been removed and cleaned, but the cold wind blows and freezes, making it even smoother and more difficult to walk. Feng Qianhou helped Wang Pu step by step, and the group finally reached the top of the mountain, and the wind was howling, blowing people all over the body. Looking back at the bird's-eye view, the earth is empty and white, Jingshui is like a green ribbon extending from the front of Jingzhou City, the city is like a huge sand table, and the streets are vividly visible.

Turning to look up, a majestic temple with ornate columns stands on a pedestal high on the opposite cliff. The melodious and melodious bell jingles, there is a temple to preside over the sacrifice in the square in front of the palace, the pilgrims are arranged in an orderly manner, there are about 20 people, holding incense to worship a huge stone statue in front of the square, and then step forward one by one, insert the incense in the copper tripod, and then turn around and leave.

"It's spectacular! The scenery is beautiful, and the trip is worth it! It is said that there is a grotto of the Queen Mother Palace that was built in the Taihe period of the Northern Wei Dynasty, with more than 1,000 built-in statues, I don't know where it is, I must go to see it later! The cold wind blew the robe to hunt, and the three long whiskers swayed non-stop, Wang Pu pulled up his collar and wrapped his chin, and said excitedly.

"Very good! You can accompany Mr. to go with you and take a look at the Wei stele! "Feng Qianhou is only in his thirties, he is actually quite young, but he looks very old, and he can talk to Wang Pu.

"Yang Xuanli! Bring the incense and candles! Let's go to the square first! Seeing that Fu Jinqiong was blown straight into his arms by the cold wind, Zhang Yue shouted loudly.

The group went down the hill again, crossed the depression and went up the mountain again, lined up in front of the temple, and was guided by the temple to make incense. This is a public temple, which is taken care of by the temple every day, and the government occasionally organizes wealthy families to pull money to repair meals, so there are no monks and nuns.

After the square is worshipped, it will go up the steps, and the mountain is a depression, and the palace covers a large area. The front hall is called the East Prince's Palace, which is also the Queen Mother's Palace; The nave is the main hall of the Queen Mother's Palace, and the left side hall is the Three Emperors Palace, Zhou Mu Wang Temple; The right side hall is the temple of the five emperors and the temple of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Miaozhu led the way in front and introduced as he walked. Zhang Yue, Wang Pu and the others didn't want to put on any official show, so they followed to the front hall. Wang Pu and Feng Qianhou went in to visit, and also followed the incense to worship. Zhang Yue accompanied his wife to offer incense in the front hall, and went directly to the middle hall to worship the Queen Mother of the West.

"This is the place where women come to worship incense, I can go in with Qingzhu, you wait outside the hall, or go with Mr. Wang!" Fu Jinqiong said with a smile.

"That's good! Wait for me under the eaves of the front hall when you leave! Zhang Yue took Yang Xuanli to find Wang Pu and Feng Qianhou, but the two of them ran away with dozens of personal soldiers.

Zhang Yue had no choice but to turn back, just as Fu Jinqiong finished incense, he accompanied Zhang Yue to wander around. When I turned to the Five Emperors Palace, I saw six or seven well-dressed young men and women looking at the snowy scenery of the distant mountains at the corner of the eaves of the front porch of the hall, which seemed to be the people in the pavilion at the foot of the mountain before.

"This Lang Jun is invited! You're also walking around after the sacrifice, right? How about swimming? A man in his twenties greeted with a smile and an extraordinary bearing.

"Oh? Are you from Baoding? Do you work in the state government? Zhang Yue saw that the young man was polite and sincere, and his attitude was sincere and enthusiastic, and he immediately felt good, so he asked with a smile.

"Lang Jun's tone is not small! Could it be that you are an official who sits in the government? My home is on the outskirts of the city, but I haven't participated in the Ministry of Rites exam! The young man smiled back, and beside him was a young woman who kept looking at Fu Jinqiong, and it seemed that they were also husband and wife.

"Xianggong? How many apprentices are there in Jingzhou Academy? Zhang Yue's heart moved, and suddenly thought that there was a shortage of many subordinate officials in Huizhou, and there was also a large shortage of his own Jiedu staff, so it was better to recruit directly from the school.

"If there is a war today, the Jingzhou School is not as good as before, the state government is not enough to pay for food and rice, the school is in disrepair, no one wants to be a teacher, and there are only about 20 students.

Zhang Yue nodded, thinking in his heart that the school hall must be built next year, and at least two hundred students will be recruited, and talents are even more rare in this troubled era. By the way, do you want Feng Qianhou to work part-time as a teacher, the students trained in this way are all your own! However, there is a shortage of staff at the moment, is there a few candidates at the beginning of the year?

"I see? I heard that the newly arrived envoy Junzheng lacked staff, and he was preparing to take the entrance examination for the Jiedu Mansion on the third day of the new year, and the best ones were hired as subordinates. You know about Huizhou, right? It's a new place, I heard that even Lizheng is short of competent people, why don't you go to find a future? ”

Zhang Yue deliberately let off the wind and spoke seriously. Fu Jinqiong was listening to it funny, raised her hand to cover her mouth and turned around, next to the maid Qingzhu, laughing so hard that her shoulders twitched.

"Huizhou knows some, but Zhang Envoy Jun understands the history of the state assassination for a few years, so he doesn't need to be a military general under his command. Besides, we and other gentlemen work with military generals, and we must not be bullied? The young man asked, worried.

"Haha...... You're thinking too much! If you are thirsty for talents, how can you be slow to treat talents, and when the New Year begins, you might as well go to the Jiedu Mansion to try it! Zhang Yue had a plan in his heart, so he was not interested in gossiping, and left with Fu Jinqiong, and heard a few people behind him talking about it.

"Who is that man? It looks like a military attaché, isn't it from the Jiedu Mansion? I saw them riding over just now! One guessed suspiciously.

"yes, yes! Is he telling the truth? That person looks like an ordinary martial artist, but the lady next to him is beautiful and dignified, and her bearing is graceful, but she doesn't look like an ordinary woman! The young woman next to her spoke. (To be continued.) )
