Zhao Jin's luck is good, the imperial examination from the thousands of troops and horses to fight a bloody road, in Jiajing twenty-three years of the examination of the Jinshi, first awarded Jiangyin Zhixian, and then step by step on the Qingyun Road, although the impeachment of the power of the minister Yan Song was once reprimanded as the people, but this is also his opportunity, Yan Song fell, soon used, reused, until the official worship of the left capital of the imperial history.

If you meet a "boss" like Zhu Chongba, then you will have blood mold, and the silver is already pitifully low, and you have to fold the color, rice, wheat, salt, pepper, cotton, treasure money, etc., anyway, there is much in the treasury to give to your employees.

Less money, less holidays, officials in the early Ming Dynasty only had three days of vacation a year, respectively, the New Year, the winter solstice and the emperor's birthday, stingy shots, the start is not soft, at every turn to take the hands to open the knife, raiding the family and exterminating the clan is also a common thing, some officials can't help but make a little money, once caught, directly peel the skin and fill the grass, in order to respect You.

It is very hard to make a living with the wages of migrant workers, but this heavy eighth brother doesn't care, anyway, there are many people in the world who want to work for the old Zhu family.

It is estimated that Lao Zhu's concept is that it is difficult to find three-legged toads, and there are many two-legged readers.

Fortunately, now Zhao Jin's boss is Jiajing, this lord is devoted to Lian Dan, he doesn't care about political affairs, and the officials' treatment is much better, of course, few emperors in the Ming Dynasty are generous, and it is impossible to increase wages, at most, it is not to fold, or not to fold those messy things, and the holidays are loosened a lot, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang, festivals, etc., and there are also holidays, and you can go home to visit relatives once every three years.

Rich and noble do not return to their hometown, they are still dressed at night, Zhao Jin is not a pedantic person, when he was about to return to Yuyu, he intentionally or unintentionally revealed a trace of his whereabouts, and the dignified Zuodu Yushi returned to his hometown to visit relatives, which is a big deal, so the people with heads and faces in Yuyao braved the cold wind to welcome this Zhao Yushi.

Among them, those students are the most enthusiastic, everyone knows that Zhao Yushi likes to promote his juniors, has been a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and has close contacts with those great Confucians of the Hanlin Academy on weekdays, and the next examiner is likely to be his guest, if he inadvertently gets the test questions or scope of the imperial examination, it will be cool.

Yu Jin has been busy taking care of his comfort zone recently, and he hasn't paid much attention to this kind of thing, so he didn't get the news, and he was surprised to hear the news in the carriage.

The county school has Zhao Jin's Jinshi monument that year, and the teaching aid and discipline also take him as an example from time to time, Yu Jin is no stranger to this, when he was in the county school, he also joked with each other whether this Zhao Da's family had a daughter or something, so hugged his thigh.

At least twenty years less struggle.

Imperial examination? Yu Jin has long since given up this thought, but if he comes, he will be safe, and it is not bad to look at this Yuyao celebrity.

If you don't know, forget it, if you know and don't greet it, it will seem a little unconventional and rejected by everyone.

There were many carriages along the way, and it took the two of them about two quarters of an hour to arrive at the long pavilion outside Yuyao City, and when they got off the car, they were already crowded with people, not to mention more than 300 people.

"So many people." After Yu got out of the carriage, he said with some feelings.

Ma Ning shook his head and said: "This is a small number, the Zhao family was originally a big family in Yuyao, Lord Zhao returned to his hometown and province, can those sons and nephews not come to greet them, half of them are the children of the Zhao family, and the rest are county officials, respected squires, and meritorious scholars, which is considered a small number of people." ”

"I heard the old man say, when Xie Ge was happy to be the champion, the people of the county came here to greet him, it can be said that there are thousands of empty alleys that day, if my brother I have the same scenery one day, even if it is only one day, this life is worth it."

As he spoke, Ma Ning's eyes were full of envy.

Yu Jin thought it was true, the wind left traces, and the geese left a voice, who doesn't want to be famous in history and admired by thousands of people.

It's winter now, although there is a long pavilion that shelters the wind, but Yu Jin and Ma Ning are honestly standing on the side of the road, and the people who are qualified to wait in the long pavilion are all people with heads and faces, such as Yuyao's parents, the official Xu County Order, the elders of the Zhao family, the instructor of the county school, and several respected squires.

Because the place is a bit narrow, even Ma Ning's Laozi Ma Xiancheng is also standing outside the long pavilion.

"Brother Yu," Ma Ning suddenly asked in a low voice.

"What's the matter with Brother Ma?"

Ma Ning rubbed his little hands and said: "That, Lord Zhao likes poetry the most, if there are good poems, he will definitely be impressed, I wonder if Brother Yu has any surplus?" ”

This guy, no wonder he was pulled alive and dead, it turned out to be for this stubble, but unfortunately, Yu Guo was not interested in the imperial examination.

"Really no" Yu Jin spread his hands and said: "Recently, I have been busy decorating the house, that is, Lord Zhao went home to save his relatives, and I only knew when I heard you say that I was really unprepared." ”

Ma Ning said with some frustration: "Also, good poetry doesn't mean that there is, let's keep a low profile for a while, my father is a county prince, and the Ma and Zhao families also have some friendship, and they will definitely create opportunities for me at that time, Brother Yu, you can follow me in a while." ”

"Oh, then it's up to Brother Ma"

Yu Jin was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Ma Ning to suddenly become so righteous.

"Hee-hee, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, if Brother Yu has any good poems, remember to share them."

It turned out to be a purpose, but Yu Jin was not angry, sometimes with this kind of real villain, but not so tired, although he was not very interested, Yu Jin still agreed.

"Lord Zhao is back, Lord Zhao is back." A fast horse shouted as he ran.

In order not to delay the pick-up and drop-off of this high-ranking official, Xu Xianling sent his henchmen to wait ten miles away, and as soon as he saw Zhao Yushi's carriage, he immediately rushed to report.

As soon as they heard that the main lord was coming, everyone was busy, Xu Xianling and a group of squires hurriedly walked out of the long pavilion and stood in the middle of the official road to greet them, and the people present did not dare to speak loudly when they heard the words, and many people were secretly tidying up their clothes, so as not to be disheveled, and leave a bad impression on this adult as soon as they met.

After two quarters of an hour, three seventy-percent new carriages slowly appeared in front of everyone, and there was a team of guards next to them, dignified Zuodu Yushi, important ministers of the imperial court, and security must be paid attention to, in addition to the healthy servants in the house, the government along the road also sent people to protect.

It seems that the battle is not big, and the three carriages are very frugal for a court official who visits relatives once every three years, after all, there is still a family to follow back, and there is no gong along the way.

This Zuodu Yushi should be considered a person with integrity.

Soon, a carriage walking in front stopped, and out of an old man wearing a purple robe and a Liuhe unified hat (Liuzhi melon skin hat) came out, with gray hair in his ears and obvious wrinkles on his face, but this old man's face was ruddy, his eyes were bright, his actions were elegant, his eyes revealed confidence, and from a distance, he gave people a sense of not angry and arrogant.

There is no need to ask, Yu Jin knows that the celebrity in front of him should be Yuyao, Zhao Jin, the imperial official of the left capital of the Ming Dynasty.

has been up and down in officialdom for many years, and the intrigue of officialdom has stumped Zhao Jin's energy too much, and this imperial envoy, who is not yet fifty years old, has almost become a little old man.

It seems that this official is not so easy to be a man.

"Xiaguan Xu Feng, meet Lord Yushi." Seeing that the main lord was coming, Xu Xian Ling rushed forward with an arrow step and saluted respectfully.

As Yuyao's parents, no one dared to snatch the county order for this first opportunity to show up.

The Fu Yin who destroyed the door, the county order of the broken family, unless he didn't want to mix in Yuyao, even the people of the Zhao family also deliberately fell half a step behind and gave this opportunity to the county order of Xu.

"The little ones see the big ones."

"Students meet adults."

"My nephew has seen my uncle."

The people who followed Xu Xian Ling hurriedly saluted one by one, not daring to be slack.

"Xu County Order, what's going on, the old man went back to his hometown to visit relatives, it's just a private matter, this kind of labor moves the people, disturbs the people and hurts the money, do you want the villagers to blame the old man behind his back and trap the old man in injustice?" Without the imaginary kindness, Zhao Jin's first sentence was to reprimand Xu County Ling with a gloomy face.

If this matter reaches the ears of the speaker, it may become a handle to impeach himself, you must know that the Ming Dynasty is a civil official, and the civil official is the most fierce, and provoked him, even if the clothes of the court are a little untidy, you have to face their endless saliva.

Zhao Jin returned to his hometown to visit relatives, it was originally the wind of the Zhao family, and now he blames himself, and he wants to be majestic and clear, most of the officials of the Ming Dynasty are so arrogant, but Xu County, who has been in the officialdom for a long time, has long been familiar with this set, and said unhurriedly when he heard the words:

"Please forgive me, the lower officials have absolutely no labor and money, the students and squires overheard that the adults returned to their hometowns, and they felt the clear name of the adults, and they came to greet them, all of them were voluntary, and the lower officials advised that this had a bad impact, but they didn't listen, so they couldn't force them to drive them away, so they could only let them go."

"Yes, Lord Goshi, we all came voluntarily."

"I have heard the name of Lord Jiu, and I have come to greet you."

"When the adults came to impeach Yan Song, they were traitorous in pain, how arrogant, and the students came to admire the demeanor of adults."

Everyone, you said a word, and held Zhao Jin without a trace.

"Okay, okay, you don't have to be polite, please get up quickly, folks, it's cold, it's not good to be cold." Back in his hometown, Zhao Jin did not put on an official show, and seemed very cordial.

"Master Xie."

Everyone responded, got up one after another, and kept "brushing their faces" around Zhao Jin, with a cold and warm look, as if Zhao Jin was closer than his own son.

Zhao Jin looked very kind, just stood on the official road and chatted with everyone, as an official who walked out of Yuyao, he naturally had to care about the studies of Yuyao students, and took a few self-recommended students on the spot, and then pretended to say casually:

"I heard that there is a junior named Yu Jin who is good, is he here?"
