Chapter 148: The Middle Lift
Hu Jiang was shocked, and when he saw the dead bodies all over the ground, he realized that he had really escaped death. Fortunately, Yang Qiuchi commanded well, not only turned the danger into a disaster, but also made this great contribution, which is incomparable to the credit for solving the case of Lao Xiucai's unbridled death in the Gongyuan.
Escorting the captives back to Nanshao Village, looking for the two guard sentries, they had been killed by the Jianwen Yu Party's sneak attack.
Hu Jiang asked Miri to send Minzhuang to bring back the corpses of those Jianwen Yu party, and then sort out the official road and restore transportation. Subsequently, Yang Qiuchi and others returned to the capital Yingtianfu through Chuzhou City.
On the way, two more seriously injured Jianwen Yu Dang died. After returning to Yingtianfu, Yang Qiuchi asked Nangong Xiong to lead people to escort the remaining Jianwen Yu Party to Ma Du and them for disposal, and informed them to go to Beishao Village to retrieve the corpses of those Jianwen Yu Party.
Ma Du and Niu Baihu knew that Yang Qiuchi led the team to annihilate more than 100 Jianwen remnants in one fell swoop, and they were pleasantly surprised, and they all congratulated him on making new achievements.
Hu Jiang escorted Zhao Banxian to the Yamen of Yingtianfu to resume his life. Lord Yin Gu of the Ying Tianfu Mansion couldn't have imagined that it would take Yang Qiuchi only two days to solve this case of Lao Xiucai's death in the Gongyuan. The emperor has already asked about this matter, and he is worrying about how to make a difference, and now he is fine, and his heart is full of gratitude to Yang Qiuchi.
Gu Fuyin immediately told Jia Hanlin, the chief examiner of the township test, the news to Jia Hanlin, and Jia Hanlin was also relieved, this matter can be said to have been completely resolved.
The two also knew from Hu Jiang that Yang Qiuchi also led the team to annihilate the remnants of the Jianwen Yu Party, and while they were happy, they admired Yang Qiuchi even more.
This time, Yang Qiuchi was a favor to Lord Yin Gu of Tianfu Mansion, so Lord Gu set up a banquet to entertain Yang Qiuchi, Jia Hanlin accompanied him, and originally invited other dignitaries and dignitaries of Ying Tianfu to participate, Yang Qiuchi thought that Gonggong Li repeatedly asked him to keep a low profile, and before the Jianwenyu Party case was finally concluded, I am afraid that he could not be too public.
At Yang Qiuchi's request, he only invited Madu and Niu Baihu to celebrate a little.
After this case was solved, Yang Qiuchi became a frequent visitor to Jia Hanlin and Master Gu's mansion, often drinking until late at night, and did not get drunk or return.
A few days later, one night, Gonggong Li came to visit late at night with his entourage, and praised Yang Qiuchi for annihilating the rest of Jianwen's troops who tried to kidnap Concubine Xian, saying that the emperor was very satisfied with this, but in view of Yang Qiuchi's continued concealed detection of Jianwenyu's party case, he could not be given an official promotion for the time being, but the emperor had already recorded his credit, and after capturing Jianwen in the future and completely solving Jianwen's party case, he would be rewarded together.
Although he could not be promoted, the emperor still rewarded Yang Qiuchi with several large boxes of gold and silver jewelry, agate jade, silk and satin as a reward.
In this battle, Yang Qiuchi's escort team killed two people, and Gonggong Li sent two more people to Yang Qiuchi to supplement. He also returned the pigeon that Yang Qiuchi flew to pass the book last time to Yang Qiuchi. Make sure he has at least two pigeons in his hands.
Gonggong Li also told Yang Qiuchi that the list will be released in a few days, and then he can carry out the big challenge, but Yang Qiuchi does not need to participate in the big challenge in person, it will be arranged by the Li Gonggong. Yang Qiuchi only needs to wait for the appointment of the ministry, and after the Spring Festival, Yang Qiuchi can go to office.
Yang Qiuchi really wanted to ask where he would become an official and what kind of official he would be, so as to determine how far away he was from the two places of exile of Madame Bai and Bai Sumei's mother and daughter. However, he has now learned to be patient, and since this Gonggong Li doesn't say it, he doesn't ask himself. We'll find out in a few days anyway.
The rest of the days were easy, drunk and dreaming all day, singing every night.
Early in the morning of this day, Yang Qiuchi was still asleep, and he heard the sound of firecrackers outside the door, which was deafening, mixed with the melodious and pleasant suona sound, which scared Yang Qiuchi from his sleep, scolded angrily, pulled the quilt over his head, covered his head, and wanted to continue sleeping.
Yang Qiuchi thought that it was whose family was marrying his daughter-in-law to set off the cannon battle, but he immediately knew that it was wrong, he had been living in the courtyard of the inner house of the Qianhu Yamen in Madu during this time, how could he marry his daughter-in-law to the Jinyi Wei Yamen, could it be ...... Yang Qiuchi sat up from the bed, and the sound of the cannon was indeed getting closer and closer, coming towards his residence. The sound of suona, gongs and drums, sounded into one.
At this moment, Song Yun'er opened the curtain and ran in, threw herself on Yang Qiuchi's bed, and shouted excitedly: "Brother! You've really hit the lift! Stretched out his hands and grabbed Yang Qiuchi's shoulders and shook them happily.
Seeing that this crazy girl rushed into her room without any scruples, Yang Qiuchi's first reaction was to look down and see if she was wearing underwear.
He couldn't help Song Yun'er, this crazy girl didn't care about the difference between men and women, and often broke into Yang Qiuchi's room casually these days. However, fortunately, Yang Qiuchi knew that Song Yun'er had this hobby of making trouble, and his wife and concubine were not around, so he didn't need to take off his clothes, so Yang Qiuchi slept in close-fitting short clothes these days.
After checking it, he found that there was no spring leakage, so he breathed a sigh of relief and recalled what Song Yun'er had just said - Zhongjuren? Haha, this artillery battle, suona and gongs and drums are really coming to report the good news to their own people, and it is as expected! Hahaha.
Although Yang Qiuchi already knew that his lifting was a sure thing, but when it came to the end, he was still very excited after knowing that he had won the lift.
turned over and got out of bed to get dressed, Song Yun'er didn't avoid it, she was still there happily shouting to herself: "Brother, you are really amazing!" I didn't read the book well for a day, and I was lifted in the same exam, which is really amazing! ”
Yang Qiuchi grinned and winked at Song Yun'er: "Yun'er, don't forget the bet we made!" ”
Song Yun'er grinned: "Don't worry, what you say counts!" My brother won the exam, and my little sister helped you do something, which should also be done. Speaking of this, he stretched out his right hand with a big grin, rolled up his sleeves, and revealed a slender hand like a white lotus: "Okay, you say, do you want my arm, or my head?" ”
Yang Qiuchi had already tidied up his robe, walked to Song Yun'er's side, and said with a wicked smile: "I want you!" ”
"Huh~?" Song Yun'er exclaimed in surprise: "What? You want me to be this person? Repeated, his face flushed with shame for a moment, and he lowered his head.
Seeing her expression, Yang Qiuchi knew that she had misunderstood, and this joke was not to be made, so he hurriedly said: "Yun'er, I mean, I want you to be my bodyguard, accompany me to the appointment as an official, and protect me closely." All right? ”
Song Yun'er understood what Yang Qiuchi meant by what she meant, and gave him a blank look, slightly disappointed in her heart, but after thinking about it, Yang Qiuchi let herself be his personal guard, accompany him to be an official, and be able to be with Yang Qiuchi all the time, that is enough, so she was happy again.
After thinking about this, Song Yun'er nodded and pretended to sigh: "Okay, who told me to lose the bet, since you asked me to be your bodyguard, I am willing to lose the bet, so I had to agree." ”
Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed, took Song Yun'er's hand and said, "Don't worry, Yun'er, I will definitely treat you well and won't let you suffer." Speaking of this, I always felt weird, as if I was talking to my lover, and quickly explained: "I mean, you won't have a hard time being my bodyguard." ”
Song Yun'er had already heard the meaning of his words, her heart was slightly sweet, and she smiled charmingly: "It's good, I don't know if my father and my mother will agree." ”
Hearing this, Yang Qiuchi was slightly stunned, he hadn't thought about this carefully, he just felt that if he went to the southwest to be an official, he would feel very uncomfortable if he couldn't see Yun'er. After so many days, I felt very comfortable with her, and I couldn't bear to be separated, so I deliberately made this bet.
Song Yun'er smiled and said, "Brother, although I agreed, if my father and mother don't agree, then I can't do anything?" Seeing that Yang Qiuchi's face was not good-looking, knowing that he actually cared about himself very much, he was happy in his heart, and continued, "However, my father and mother value your brother very much, and I have grown up, if you ask me to be a bodyguard, they will agree." ”
Yang Qiuchi nodded happily, thinking that he hoped so, it was useless to be anxious now, the ideological work of the Song Zhixian couple could only be done when they went back.
Yang Qiuchi tidied up his clothes and walked to the door, only to see that the courtyard was already full of people, and Ma Du and Niu Baihu saw Yang Qiuchi come out and congratulated him.
A reporter who specializes in giving people good news and asking for money, as soon as he saw Yang Qiuchi come out, the two masters of Jinyiwei congratulated him, and immediately guessed that this was the old man, and hurriedly knelt down and handed over the poster, saying congratulations to the master.
Yang Qiuchi took the newspaper with a smile, and saw that it read: "Good news to the lord of your mansion Yang Qiuchi, Ying Enke Jingcheng should be tested in Tianfu Township, and the 250th place in high school will be raised." ”
Yang Qiuchi was stunned for a moment, couldn't cry or laugh, and scolded secretly: What the hell is this Gonggong Li, how did he win a 250th place, 255th? You're only two hundred and five!
However, for this ancient imperial examination, he is really two hundred and five, anyway, this person also fell from the sky, two hundred and five is two hundred and five.
After rewarding the reporter, everyone discussed how to celebrate, Madu and Niu Baihu had not taken the exam, and they didn't know the rules inside. Yang Qiuchi remembered that in the middle school textbook "Three Levels in a Row", it seemed that if he was admitted to the examiner, he would worship the examiner as his teacher, and he would be regarded as his student. Zhang Haogu didn't go to the teacher after the exam, but the two examiners turned around and had to go to see him.
In this case, let's go to Jia Hanlin, the chief examiner, to worship the teacher, seeing that he is a lot older, and he is Hanlin, a senior intellectual, and he has not wronged himself as his own teacher. I've been with them almost these days, and I'm an old acquaintance, a teacher and a friend.
Yang Qiuchi prepared a number of gifts and asked Nangong Xiong and other guards to take them to Jia Hanlin's house to apprentice.
For Ma Du and Niu Baihu, Yang Qiuchi's move is a big deal, and of course the two of them have to be busy with this happy event first, so when they heard Yang Qiuchi say that they were going to find Jia Hanlin to worship the teacher, of course they went with him.
Yang Qiuchi wanted to go to see the township trial list first. It's the equivalent of a college acceptance letter, so it's a must-see.
This normal township test is in September, and the time when the list is released is the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, so it is also called "Guibang", but this time the Enke township test is in December, so I don't know what to call it.
The list of lists was posted next to the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, and Yang Qiuchi didn't have much effort to find his name in the 250th place, although this ranking was too ugly, but in the end, it was a lift.
The difficulty of this township examination is much more difficult than the current college entrance examination, and the admission quota in each province is limited. Therefore, Yang Qiuchi was even happier than when he received the admission letter from a key medical university.
After reading the list, Yang Qiuchi and others came to Jia Hanlin's house, and there were already a sea of people at the door, all of whom came to worship the teacher during the examination. Seeing each other is joyful, since they are both the same year, they are also extraordinarily affectionate. But in addition to being polite, they are comparing their rankings with each other, and the scores of college students are about the same as those of college students today.
These people have already handed the prayer slip to Jia Hanlin's mansion, waiting to go in and meet them one by one.
Yang Qiuchi was a frequent visitor to Jia Hanlin's house during this time, so he didn't need to hand over the stickers, but it was rare for him to see this kind of scene, so he was not in a hurry to get in, so he talked to them at the door, and listened to these scholars drop their book bags and drag the text, which was very funny.
Among these people, Lu Xueru, the old Xiucai, died in the Gongyuan that day, and the Xiucai who was present when Yang Qiuchi was inspecting the corpse, knew Yang Qiuchi. After asking, they knew that Yang Qiuchi, a regular supervisor who relied on donations to support his education, was also surprised and admired, and in addition, they also knew that Yang Qiuchi had an unusual relationship with the examiner Jia Hanlin that day, and they even came up to exchange condolences with each other.
This greeting post is equivalent to the current business card, Yang Qiuchi has often run here and there during this time, so there are a lot of preparations for this greeting post. All of them are kept by Nangong Xiong, the head of the guards.
After changing a lot of worship posts, they compared each other and raised their rankings, which made Yang Qiuchi a little embarrassed, although I don't know if there was anything about these two hundred and five in ancient times, but I was still a little embarrassed that my ranking was relatively low. However, thinking that he didn't write a word, and he hadn't read the four books and five classics, he could raise people in high school, and compared with the people who worked hard for ten years, he should be content.
Yang Qiuchi and the others went directly into Jia Hanlin's house, and they didn't even have to queue up, which made those people envious and jealous.
The porter led them down the hall. Then run to report.
After waiting for a while, Jia Hanlin walked over with a smile, saw Yang Qiuchi, and said hello from afar. Yang Qiuchi hurriedly returned the gift and asked Nangong Xiong to give the gift.
Jia Hanlin did not postpone either, this is the rule. However, Jia Hanlin proposed that he be the host, and today he will set up a banquet for Yang Qiuchi to celebrate. Yang Qiuchi certainly agreed.
Jia Hanlin asked the porter to inform the people outside, saying that the examiner would not see the guests today, and he would come back tomorrow.
Jia Hanlin invited Lord Yin Gu of Tianfu Mansion to accompany him, plus Niu Baihu and Ma Du, two deputy Qianhu of Jinyiwei, and Song Yuner, a fart worm, to celebrate Yang Qiuchi's high school promotion.
