When I came to Cui's house, I unexpectedly saw a person, Gao Yanei.

Cui Youjie introduced Zheng Lang: "He is the new lord of Shangcai County, his father died of illness, and he became an official. ”

Gao Yanei stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "Zheng Jieyuan, there were many wrongs in the past, please forgive me." ”

It turns out that his father is dead? No wonder there is money to ransom Lou Yan, but there are also some places that are puzzled, the shade supplement is also a way to choose officials in the Song Dynasty, mostly to take care of the children of the powerful, or the sons of meritorious heroes, such as Gao County Order, such an official, if he dies, he will die, and the opportunity to get the shade supplement is very vague. I don't know what means this kid used, but he actually got the position of the head of a county.

Zheng Lang didn't take it to heart, although no one said it, he also knew his current impact. Since the old lady called herself into the inner palace before she died, the little emperor was not evil to herself, and almost everyone knew it.

is not only the head of a small county, but also the governor of a state that is about the same, unless it is a prefect with a slight official reputation like Sima Chi, it may not be in his own eyes. But if everyone gives face, you also have to give others face.

The lord of a county is already not a figure on the same level as himself.

I don't know why Quan was elected to Caizhou, don't the officials of the Ministry of Officials know that the governor of Caizhou is his father-in-law? Or is it intentionally spoofing?

However, knowing his father-in-law's intentions, they have all passed, and his reputation is getting stronger day by day, Gao Yanei will be very afraid, so he called and let himself talk about it, and completely put an end to the past, and he got a reputation for magnanimity, and Gao Yanei will not be afraid and unable to work with peace of mind. So he said: "The high lord is thin, the past things are small and ignorant to me, and it should be me who says forgive my sins." ”

"That dare."

"Don't use that, I'm guilty. Why are you so anxious to make amends? I remember you were still a lifter? ”

"Zheng Jieyuan, I'm you, born with a different endowment. Even if you take the imperial examination, most of you will not pass the examination, it is better to make up for an official position first, and have a stable salary, so that you can be selected in the future, and if you can't be selected, you can seek an official with peace of mind. In fact, I will also go to the provincial test this winter, give it a try and see if I have this luck. ”

This luck is mostly very vague.

Next year, there are not many great gods, and there are many places admitted, hundreds of people, but there is no imperial examination in the backlog of four years, and the whole country will not know how many people will go to the capital to participate in the scientific examination. It is possible that the acceptance rate is less than two percent. It's not a solution exam, since it can be hired by the exam solution, there are some real talents.

Thinking about the poems written by Gao Yanei, Zheng Lang shook his head in his heart, didn't say it directly, and said gently: "I wish you high school in advance." ”

"That dare, but Zheng Jieyuan will definitely go to high school."

"Not necessarily."

"Zheng Jieyuan shouted that it may not be, so I don't dare to have much hope."

"Let's work hard," Zheng Lang finished speaking, took a piece of jade pendant from his clothes, and said: "Master Gao, I heard that you and Lou Yan finally got married, this jade pendant is given to you, I wish you a long life." ”

"Thank you," Gao Yanai thanked and left. This matter can be regarded as revealed.

Cui Youjie didn't say much from beginning to end, just watched. The more I look at it, the more satisfied I become, no wonder the emperor's ministers, down to the students, all praise this son-in-law, with grace, self-cultivation, calm demeanor, and a little gentleman like jade, gentle and warm.

Not necessarily, if it was the original Zheng Lang, I am afraid that he would have to use a small knife again. This Zheng Lang has never liked Lou Yan at all, so why is there resentment? If you like it, Zheng Lang will sometimes be very careful, and he will not be as calm as he is now.

Twisting his beard, he said, "Xiaolang, the old man is very relieved to see you grow up." Alas, my brother died early......"

Don't think he's cheating, the two of them have a deep relationship with Zheng Lang's father, if it weren't for this, they would have returned to this family business earlier. But it's really back, and it's only at this time that people laugh and be generous.

Zheng Lang was silent, in short, he still respects this father-in-law very much, and he is a good elder.

The mother-in-law came out, brought tea and poured water, everything was as Zheng Lang guessed.

Actually, she shouldn't have appeared!

Zheng Lang's good mood suddenly made his mother-in-law's diligence disappear.

Cui Youjie saw it in his eyes, he didn't pay attention last time, if he didn't pay attention this time, don't be this Zhizhou. But he said it very cleverly, first asking, "I heard that you took in two students?" ”

"Count half a student."

Cui Youjie didn't distinguish it, he didn't know Zheng Lang's jealousy of the two little guys, but thought that he was afraid of others gossiping, after all, the imperial court did not encourage officials to openly accept students, and Zheng Lang was small. didn't expose it, and said: "Your own studies are important, and you have to paint for the Queen Mother, and you have to be distracted, which is not good in the end." ”

"Communicate with them occasionally, I have painted the painting of the Queen Mother, and the background is for Fan Weng to paint, and I can study with peace of mind in the future."

"That's good, I heard that those two boys are very smart?"

"Hmm," Zheng Lang wanted to smile bitterly, if these two boys were not smart, Quan Da Song would not be able to find a few smart people. Or further aback, another child in Sichuan.

"The boy of the Sima family, I have also heard of it, he has been brilliant since he was a child, but he didn't expect Sima Fu Yin to be willing to hand over this kid to you. This is also the reason why you have a reputation now, if it was before, would you? This is the sophistication of human feelings...... The master said, only the villain and the woman are difficult to raise, don't keep the woman's opinion in mind. ”

Zheng Lang looked at his mother-in-law, who was still at a loss, and then at the meaningful old man, cheered, and arched his hand: "Taishan's words are extremely true." ”

Cui Youjie said again: "This year, your eldest brother and third brother will also go to the capital. ”

It is very interesting here, not to talk about the eldest son and the third son of my family, but to the eldest brother and the third brother. But can the provincial test still stump this little son-in-law? That's sorry for his reputation, as long as he wins the provincial test, the agreement between the two families will be realized.

So the name was changed.

In fact, there are many stories behind it, but Cui Youjie was hidden by his children and didn't know at all. I only know that the three sons saw the capital and Zheng Lang, and the daughter was shy and didn't see it. Others, either know that their daughter sent some small gifts to Zhengjiazhuang, as for Zheng Lang's words, Huan'er only told Cui Xian, and several brothers didn't know, let alone Cui Youjie.

Zheng Lang didn't say it, it's really not good, it is relatively easier to train slowly in the future than to train two students. Treat yourself as this miserable life. But when I thought of my eldest brother, I was amused, I have taken the test several times, since I was a teenager, and I have been tested to this day, and I have almost become a black old fritter in the scientific examination room.

The expression on Cui Youjie's face suddenly hesitated, and Zheng Lang said, "Taishan, if you have anything to say, please speak." ”

"They're stupid, I want them to stay in an inn with you, by the way...... But you see, if you feel that your time is delayed, you don't need to bother. ”

My husband, you have opened your mouth, let me refuse, and said, "Okay, let me give it a try." However, it is up to people to make things happen, and the provincial test not only requires talent to learn, but also a certain amount of luck, and I dare not guarantee it. ”

"Yes, you make the old man more pleased, victory is not arrogant, defeat is not appropriate, it is a good surname. Today you are going to stay for a few more days anyway. "Last time, this kid seemed to have no tricks, I was afraid that this time he would come to a big three-yuan or something, coupled with his fame, it is estimated that there will be this marriage contract, and there will be more powerful people in the capital, and it is better to let him meet his little daughter.

At this time, Cui Youjie wanted to slap his mouth, why did he have a marriage contract, otherwise now that the two are sixteen years old and become a parent, won't there be no problems?

"It is unlikely to stay for a few days, the two queen mothers are going to be buried in the Yongding Mausoleum, and the sketches must be handed in before, although the background is for Fan Weng to paint, I also have to go over from time to time to take a look, and I can't make mistakes." I'll stay in your house tonight. ”

Really time is tight.

In fact, Zheng Lang didn't understand, I don't seem to like many things, but why are so many things looking for me.

It's not much, it's just that the little emperor is good, and occasionally kindly shares some troubles for him.

This is...... Not much to do...... Some of Mrs. Cui understood, some didn't, but one thing was heard, this little son-in-law agreed to go to Beijing to take the provincial test and live with his eldest son and third son.

Can living together help your son take the provincial exam?

Where does Mrs. Cui know? I only heard a lot of rumors outside, and thought that it would play a great role, so I ordered the servants of the house to kill chickens and geese, and they were very busy. Let Cui Youjie be speechless, the more you are so condescending, the lower your status will be in the eyes of this smart little son-in-law. With her, he said, "So-and-so will take you to the back study." ”

didn't dare to test Zheng Lang's knowledge again, the last time he came, he confronted him-for-tat, and he didn't stump him. A few years have passed, and the rumors are evil outside. I was afraid that I didn't pass the test, but was tested by this son-in-law, which became a big joke.

"Whoa."

In Zhengjiazhuang, Zheng Lang's surname is Zitan, he just works hard, usually works hard, and at this time he didn't work harder, and he temporarily clung to his feet and disdained it. But when I entered the Cui family's study, I felt the pressure before the scientific expedition arrived. There are many books stacked in the study, and on the top of the two desks, there are many manuscripts. There were also two candlesticks on the side, with two half-burned candles inserted on them, and a layer of e-liquid on the walls, apparently the traces left by working overtime and reading all night during this time.

Before entering the door, the sound of two eldest brothers reading aloud was heard.

Seeing Zheng Lang coming, the two uncles were very surprised, Cui Youjie left, and let them talk a little.

After a while, Cui Xian walked in with Huan'er, saluted Zheng Lang, and said crisply: "I've seen Zheng Lang." ”

"I've seen Little Lady Cui."

looked at it, she was a year older, and she looked more beautiful, I don't know what the rumored four beauties look like, but the old lady's appearance when she was young Zheng Lang is restored, and her appearance is nothing more than that. Every time I see her, I have to admit that although this woman sometimes plays some small surnames, she does have the ability to play small surnames.

Then Zheng Lang felt that something was not quite right, thought about it, and immediately came up with it, it was her eyes that were very calm. This is very wrong, any expression can appear, and there should not be a calm look. It was the little girl behind her, who was nervous and nervous.

"In the past, forgiveness is one."

"Don't dare." What else can you say, what kind of morning and hear, Xi can die? Isn't that nonsense?

However, then, even more incomprehensible, Cui Xian said a total of twelve words, and then gave a salute and said: "The concubine retires." ”

He drifted away, or as he wrote, the man was gone, and only a wisp of incense was left in the emptiness.
