Chapter 399 - Depends on the Heart

Zuo Shaoyang said: "You're right, I really don't want to take this imperial examination." ”

"Why?" Qiao Qiao'er was stunned.

"Because I don't want to be an official, I don't want to be flattering, I don't want to intrigue for power. I just want to be at ease with others. ”

"You really are." Qiao Qiao'er glared and said, "You are participating in the medical examination, and you will be a medical officer in the future, that is, an official who treats people, in addition to treating the common people, that is, compiling a medical book, giving a lesson to the students of the Imperial Medical Department or something, what intrigue can there be?" How much power do you have to fight for? Besides, as long as you are willing to be plain, as a medical officer, you just need to do your own thing, and you don't want to climb up, so you don't need to be flattering, do your own thing, and be at ease. I think that many medical officers in the Tai Medical Department have been just petty officials all their lives, and they also treat people, treat diseases and save people, and live freely. Is it like you said, the struggle for power and profit is bloody? ”

Zuo Shaoyang said: "People are drifting in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be knifed?" As long as you are in officialdom, you may encounter these things. ”

Qiao Qiao'er laughed, looked at Zuo Shaoyang and shook her head, she didn't know what to say about him: "I went to the temple with my mother to listen to the master's lecture, and said that greed, hatred, and ignorance are the three poisons, saying that as long as people don't move their delusions, they will not be harmed by the three poisons, just like a person standing in a thorn bush, as long as you don't move, you won't be stabbed by thorns." If you want to be indifferent to fame and fortune and have no quarrel with the world, you don't have to be in a place where there is no one in the wilderness, there are no people in those places, and you will definitely not be able to fight, but even if you are a medical officer in the Taiyi Department, as long as you have a normal heart, only focus on practicing medicine, and do not fight for power or profit, who will take the initiative to intrigue with you? -- In the final analysis, the key to being at ease lies in one's own state of mind. If you are in a good mood, you can be calm in Vanity Fair, and if you are in a bad mood, you will not be at peace even if you are with a cat or a dog. ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "I didn't expect you to be a little girl, and you still know so much." ”

Qiao Qiao'er said: "Brother, you really should participate in the medical examination, your medical skills are so good, you only treat people, after all, there are a few patients who benefit, if you become a medical officer, compile medical books, and teach students, then you can help more patients!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang pondered for a moment and said, "What you said is not unreasonable, let me think about it." Don't tell the news yet. ”

The second daughter agreed.

The three of them returned to the inn and went back to their houses. Zuo Shaoyang called Bai Zhihan to sit down beside him and asked, "Qiao'er talked so much just now, why didn't you say a word?" ”

Bai Zhihan smiled sweetly: "Knowing that the young master can participate in the tribute examination, I am so happy to be patronized, I can't think of a word to say." ”

"Humph! You are very well-behaved, I know that helping Qiao'er persuade me at this time will make me unhappy, because I really don't want to be an official, so you don't say a word about your surname, Qiao'er's words have been said very clearly, if I can listen, just listen to her is enough, if you don't listen, it's useless for you to say. Right? ”

"The young master sees thousands of miles!" Bai Zhihan got up and bowed, and smiled mischievously.

Zuo Shaoyang saw that she was smiling happily, knowing that she really liked it, and sighed: "Do you really want to be an official's wife?" ”

"The glory of a husband and a wife is every woman's dream."

"That's right. ――Why don't I go to the exam? ”

"Great!" Bai Zhihan threw herself into Zuo Shaoyang's arms, hugged his neck and gave him a fragrant kiss firmly, "The lord and the wife must be very happy to know the news!" ”

"Well, however, I can state that in the future, I will be a medical officer, and I will not be allowed to play with power to climb up, and don't persuade me to go out of the way and do something I don't want to do."

Bai Zhihan hugged his neck and looked up at his pink and pretty face like condensed fat and warm jade: "Yes, master!" ”

"Sir?"

"Yes, you are an official, of course I have to call you master."

"What about my father?"

"Old lady, old lady!"

"Hehe, you've been promoted by one level," Zuo Shaoyang smiled, "What about you?" My good lady? ”

The joy in Bai Zhihan's eyes instantly dimmed: "The master's wife is waiting for me now, I, I can only be called an aunt in the future, and even the ranking is saved." ”

Zuo Shaoyang was a little sad when he heard her, and kissed her: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, if I had promised to marry you." ”

"No, no! No one can be blamed for this, but I can only blame myself, and I lose my temper without asking for an understanding, which is God's punishment for me. I'm already very satisfied with the young master! ”

Zuo Shaoyang sighed: "This time I went on a blind date in Beijing, and I regretted my marriage for three families in a row, and I really don't understand what's going on." ”

"Yes, I think Miss Qiao'er is good, otherwise, after you pass the imperial examination, ask the media to say a kiss and marry her, right? I look at his brother, that Master Qiao Guanqiao is very satisfied with the young master, and he talks everywhere intentionally or unintentionally to pull you with Miss Qiao'er. ”

"Qiao'er is good, it's her father, that Master Qiao, who is too philistine."

"People, he is always selfish, and he is also dedicated to the good of his daughter, but when the young master of Chunfu is in order, this will not be a problem, if we don't talk about it, he will also come to the door." Moreover, other families are afraid that they will also take the initiative to ask the media to come to relatives, and the Jinshi who pass the imperial examination every year, especially the Sandingjia, are all fragrant and sweet. After the young master is in high school, the master should not fight this lawsuit again, otherwise, if he wins, it will not be a taste to come over. ”

"yes, I don't want to fight this lawsuit, if only I could do that."

"Then you have to heal Miss Qiao'er's leg quickly, otherwise it will be inconvenient to visit the church on crutches at that time, and the cave room will be troublesome, hehe......"

"Okay, you, dare to laugh at me? I'm going to have sex with you tonight! Zuo Shaoyang reached out and hugged Bai Zhihan and pressed her on the bed, and touched her chest and abdomen with his cold hand from the hem of his clothes, Bai Zhihan giggled and begged for mercy, and kept twisting his body to dodge. Twisted to the back and didn't move, moaning softly, feeling Zuo Shaoyang's caresses and kisses, and then took the initiative to respond to him.

Bai Zhihan's warmth this time was extremely hot, except for the last line of defense, which almost met all of Zuo Shaoyang's requirements. Zuo Shaoyang understood that this was Bai Zhihan's decision to thank him for joining the ranks, although just being a medical officer in the future was enough to make her feel extremely satisfied.

Early the next morning, Zuo Shaoyang and Bai Zhihan came to Daddy Zuo Gui's room, Zuo Gui had already packed up and prepared for the ceremony, and was sitting at the table drinking tea, no matter how busy he was, this cup of tea could not be saved.

Zuo Shaoyang put the receipt of the document for participating in the imperial examination and the deed of the house on the table in front of his father.

"What is this?" Zuo Gui's father held the tea jar in his left hand, and his right hand glanced at the deed of the house, and screamed, the tea in his hand shook, almost overflowing, "House? When did you buy a house in the capital? How did I not know? ”

Zuo Shaoyang and Bai Zhihan looked at each other and smiled, and Zuo Shaoyang said, "Dad, you can take a look at another one." - Watch out for the teapot in your hand! ”

Zuo Gui's father ignored him, and smoothed the receipt of the text explanation for taking the medical examination with his hand, and at a glance, his body shook suddenly, and he felt that the sky was spinning, his hands and feet were weak, and the tea jar in his left hand was about to overturn.

Thanks to Zuo Shaoyang, he was already prepared, reached out to hold the teapot and put it on the table, so hot that he quickly withdrew his hand and grabbed his ear.

Zuo Gui's father didn't care about it at all, he just grabbed the receipt of the medical examination with trembling hands, and read it over and over again, yes, it was clearly written in the name of his son Zuo Shaoyang, and his origin and appearance (the text of the early Tang Dynasty examination should indicate the appearance of the person) are all Zuo Shaoyang's.

Zuo Gui's father wanted to stand up, but the hot blood rushed to the top of his head, his body shook again, and Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly helped him to sit back on the chair.

It took a long time for Zuo Gui's father to stabilize his mind, trembling and holding the receipt of Wenjie, the white beard on his chin trembled, and his faint eyes were irrepressible ecstasy, looking at Zuo Shaoyang: "You, you are hiding from your father, but quietly but you have passed the exam, and you have passed the medical examination?" ”

"No, I treated a high-ranking official of the imperial court in the capital, and he was cured, and he appreciated my medical skills very much and directly recommended me to participate in the medical examination. And gave me this small house. ”

"Really?" Zuo Gui's father read the text explanation receipt again and again, and sure enough, the above place of solution is not Hezhou, but Jingshi, Zuo Gui's father knows a lot about medical treatment, and knows that this is indeed a recommendation given by high-ranking officials in Beijing. He asked urgently, "Who is this adult?" ”

Du Yan didn't allow him to say it outside, so Zuo Shaoyang said casually: "Well, this adult won't let me say it, even if it's my own family." Anyway, it's a big official. ”

Zuo Gui's father knows that there are many taboos in officialdom, and many officials don't like publicity, but Taoguang is obscure, for fear that people will say that he is ganging up or something, so it is normal not to let him say it, and nodded again and again: "Okay, it's really good!" You have to meet the noble people to help, and the noble people help each other! Ha ha. On this trip to Beijing, the daughter-in-law did not marry, but earned the imperial examination, plus a house. All right! Now it's good! Haha"

In Zuo Gui's father's mind, this imperial examination is much more important than his daughter-in-law, the so-called flower fragrance has its own butterfly, as long as his son is admitted to the Jinshi, he is still worried about not marrying a satisfactory daughter-in-law? At that time, it was not that I found the door to ask the matchmaker to go on a blind date, but that people begged to come to the door, if I was the champion of high school, it would be the object of attention of the princes and ministers of the imperial family, and maybe I would marry back to the princess of the first room.

In just a moment, Zuo Gui's father had already looked forward to the brilliant prospects for his son, and suddenly he couldn't sit still, stood up, first looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, with his hands behind his back, tightly holding the imperial examination text, walked around the round table, and laughed a few times in the sky.

Zuo Shaoyang looked at his father a little nervously, for fear that his father would go crazy like Fan Jinzhongju. Fortunately, my father laughed for a long time, finally calmed down, carefully folded the receipt of the text, and handed it to Zuo Shaoyang: "You kid, why didn't you tell me in the capital?" ”
