Chapter 54: That Regret

Later, Zhang Yao didn't come for a while, Chen Danzhu thought that he had entered the Guozijian as he wished, and he would be able to get an official position in the future, and some people wanted to listen to him - he didn't need to listen to him.

But a few days later, Chen Danzhu remembered that it was very cold that day, it was snowing, she had a little cough, Ah Tian - Jingxin didn't let her go to fetch water, she went for her, she didn't force it, her body was weak, she didn't dare to risk making herself sick, she sat in the watch and roasted the fire, Jingxin ran back quickly, there was no water, and the pot was gone.

"Lady, go and have a look." She said uneasily, "Zhang Gongzi doesn't know what's wrong, lying by the spring, and he doesn't pay attention to my call, like that, like he's sick." ”

Chen Danzhu walked out without caring about putting on the cloak, and Ah Tian hurriedly picked up the cloak and chased after him.

Chen Danzhu came to the mountain spring water, and sure enough, he saw Zhang Yao sitting there, without a big-sleeved robe, his clothes were sloppy, and he had lost a lot of weight, just like when he first saw it, he hung his head as if he was asleep.

"What's wrong?" Chen Danzhu asked, stretching out his hand to push him, "Zhang Yao, you can't sleep here." ”

Zhang Yao raised his head, opened his eyes and saw that it was her, and smiled: "Danzhu lady, I didn't sleep, I just sat down and rested." ”

Chen Danzhu saw that his face was haggard, but he was still sober, and withdrew his hand into his sleeve: "You, what are you resting here?" - Is there an accident? ”

Zhang Yao sighed: "I can't hide this from you, I'm here to say goodbye to you." ”

Chen Danzhu frowned slightly: "Isn't it okay to do the matter of Guozijian?" Don't you have a letter of recommendation? Did the man reject the recommendation of your father? ”

"What I said to you, I didn't say in vain, you see, you guessed it without saying anything now." Zhang Yao rubbed his face with his hand and said with a smile, "However, it's not that the sacrificial wine doesn't recognize the recommendation letter, it's that my letter can't be found." ”

Can't find it? Chen Danzhu looked at him: "How is that possible?" This letter is your whole life, how can you lose it? ”

Zhang Yao shook his head: "I don't know, anyway, it's gone, I've searched all my net worth, and I can't find it." ”

Chen Danzhu was silent for a moment: "If there is no letter, you can see the sacrificial wine and tell him, if he doesn't believe it, you ask him to ask your father's husband, or you can write a letter and ask for another letter, and think of a way to solve it, why is this so." ”

Zhang Yao looked at her and smiled: "Do you think that I am not as good as you when I encounter something." ”

Chen Danzhu didn't want to talk to him anymore, she had already talked enough today, she turned around and left.

"Chen Danzhu." Zhang Yao shouted, "That gentleman has passed away, and this letter was given to me by him before he died." ”

Chen Danzhu stopped, although he didn't look back, his hand in his sleeve was clenched.

"I've been trying to find a way to meet Master Saijiu for this time, but no one wants to hear me who I am." Zhang Yao said later, "I've tried everything I can think of for so many days, and now I can die." ”

Actually, there is another way, Chen Danzhu shook her hand vigorously, that is, she said to Li Liang, but-

"Oh, my father-in-law, no, I have already admitted to retiring from the family, and now I should call my uncle, he has a friend who is an official in Ningyue County, and he recommended me to go there to a county as a county commander, which is also an official." Zhang Yao's voice said, "I plan to leave before the year, so I'm here to say goodbye to you." ”

Ningyue County is a very far place-Chen Danzhu turned around slowly: "Farewell, why don't you go to Guanli to say goodbye to me." ”

Zhang Yao looked at her and smiled: "Don't you come here every day, I'm waiting here, who thinks you didn't come, I'm also a little sleepy and asleep." He coughed.

Chen Danzhu said: "You can't suffer from the cold, you can easily make a cough." ”

Zhang Yao hummed and nodded to her: "I remember, do you have any other advice?" ”

Chen Danzhu glanced at him and shook his head: "No." ”

Zhang Yao patted his clothes and stood up: "Then I'll go back and pack up and leave first." ”

Chen Danzhu watched him walk over, and then turned back and waved at her.

"I'll write to you then." He laughs.

Chen Danzhu did not speak.

Zhang Yao turned around and walked down the mountain slowly, the wind swept the snow particles, making the figure blurry on the mountain road.

"Danzhu lady." Jingxin couldn't help but shake her sleeves behind her, and said hurriedly, "Zhang Gongzi is really leaving, really leaving." ”

Gone, gone, what can she do? Can she not let him go? What is she, what can she do? Chen Danzhu shook off her meditation hand and strode towards the Taoist temple, the snow particles hit her face and turned into water - she didn't cry, since her family died, she would never cry again.

This is the last time she and Zhang Yao will meet.

Chen Danzhu raised his hand and touched his face, the summer wind blew, and his cheeks were wet.

Later, she returned to Guanli, did not rest for two days and two nights, made a large bottle of medicine for cough disease, and asked Jingxin to wait at the bottom of the mountain, and passed by Zhang Yao when he left the capital.

But meditation never waited, could it be that he left in the middle of the night when no one was around?

A year later, she really received a letter from Ningyue County, the letter was sent to the tea shed at the foot of the mountain, and the old woman of the tea shed secretly sent it to her when it was dark.

He really arrived in Ningyue County, and became a county magistrate as he wished, wrote about the customs of that county, wrote what he did, and was so busy every day, the only pity was that there was no suitable water for him to govern, but he decided to use a pen to govern, he began to write a book, and there were three pieces of stationery, which were the notes he wrote about water control.

Although Chen Danzhu couldn't understand it, he still watched it seriously several times.

Zhang Yao said that it is estimated that it will take three years to finish writing, and he will give her a copy when the time comes.

Jingxin also read the letter and asked her if she wanted to write a reply, Chen Danzhu thought about it, she had nothing to write about, except to ask him if he had a cough disease, and when he left, why he didn't see it, the bottle of medicine had been delivered, but - no writing.

She is not qualified to speak in this world, it would be good to know that he is doing well, otherwise she would really regret it, she was thinking about going to Li Liang to let Zhang Yao enter the national prison, but this will make Zhang Yao and Li Liang involved, and will be stigmatized by Li Liang, and he may not get the official career he wants, and may even harm him.

Now, Zhang Yao can still do what he likes.

She began to wait for the book written by Zhang Yao, and after a year there was no letter and no book, two years later, there was no letter and no book, and three years later, she finally heard Zhang Yao's name and saw the book he wrote, and at the same time learned that Zhang Yao had already died.

In the second year after writing a letter to her, he left an unfinished half of the book, which shocked the dead Zhang Yao.

A place suffered from floods for many years, a local official inadvertently got Zhang Yao's half of the water control book, according to the method of doing it, successfully avoided the flood, the officials reported to the court layer by layer, the emperor was overjoyed, heavy rewards, the official did not hide his secrets, Zhang Yao's book into the offering.

The emperor took the courtiers to read this half of the book and praised it, looking for Zhang Yao, who wrote the book, only to know that this obscure small county order had died of illness in office.

The emperor deeply regretted it, posthumously awarded Zhang Yao a high-ranking official Houlu, and also blamed himself for the loss of many poor children, so he began to implement the imperial examination to select officials, regardless of the family, without the recommendation of the scholar gate, everyone can participate in the imperial court's scientific examination, the subset of arithmetic and so on, as long as you have real materials, you can come to participate in the scientific examination, and then be elected as an official.

Students all over the world rushed to tell each other, and countless people studied hard, praising the emperor as a rare saint in all ages-

But Zhang Yao will never meet again, and there will be no more opportunities.

Chen Danzhu regretted it, and coughed up blood for two days.

She shouldn't let Zhang Yao go, she shouldn't be afraid of any stigma affecting Zhang Yao, so she went to Li Liang and asked Li Liang to let Zhang Yao be an official, in the capital, to be an official who can give full play to his talents, instead of going to such a difficult place.

He is not in good health, he should be well cared for, and if he lives longer, it will be more beneficial to the world.

Even if there is stigma, he is not afraid, as long as he waits until his talent is seen by the emperor, he is a blockbuster, and he is alive and famous, not dead-

Chen Danzhu stretched out her hand to cover her face and inhaled hard, this time, this time, she will definitely not.
