He was too old to endure too much joy and sorrow. At first glance, when I knew about Xiao Yu's death, I wasn't sure what would happen.

Zhao Ruxi planned to send his old man to the place where she worked during that time, and then find an excuse to keep him there.

By the time the news of Xiao Qi's death reached there, it would be a day or two later, and she could also choose a certain way to tell him slowly. With her recovery pills as a base, his old man's body will not collapse all at once.

If the place where she works is too far, Kang Yannian will definitely not worry about his septuagenarian father going to such a far place. When the time comes, Zhao Ruxi persuaded Kang Shilin to go over, not only worried about whether the master's body could eat, but also complained by the senior brothers.

So how to look at it, she has the best position in Anzhou Province nearby. Of course, it can't be too close. A two-day journey is best suited by horse-drawn carriage.

Zhao Ruxi's words made Kang Shilin's heart warm again.

He patted Zhao Ruxi's head, sighed and said, "It's still a girl." A few of your senior brothers, you know that you are angry with me. ”

He nodded: "Cheng, I know, I'll say hello to your senior brother when the time comes." ”

"Master......" Zhao Ruxi got closer, and was thinking that the master would persuade the senior brothers to let go of the foreign office, so he heard a report from someone that Gong Cheng and Wu Zong were coming.

A few apprentices come over, and there is no need to pass through. As soon as the next person's words fell, Zhao Ruxi heard Wu Zong's laughter: "Haha, I knew that the little junior sister was here." ”

While speaking, Wu Zong and Gong Cheng both came in, and the two of them arched their hands and said, "Congratulations to the little junior sister." ”

"Rejoice and rejoice." Zhao Ruxi stood up and returned the salute with a smile.

"Hey, I really deserve to be my junior sister of Wu Zong, amazing, I took the second place in the exam, and I almost got Huiyuan. I can inquire, when the papers were marked, you and Huiyuan's test papers were all five circles, and the comments were all praise, and the two were comparable. I heard that the five graders were embarrassed for a while, and they didn't know which one to choose. In the end, it was Lord Jin who liked Huiyuan's article style and set him first, and you came back in line. ”

Mr. Jin is the chief examiner, so naturally his opinion shall prevail.

Hearing Wu Zong's appearance of knowing the inside story, Zhao Ruxi hurriedly asked, "Who is Huiyuan?" Have I heard of it? ”

The talents of the capital will hold literary meetings and poetry meetings from time to time. Since Zhao Ruxi learned about Yuan, they also handed Zhao Ruxi a post. But Zhao Ruxi is not interested in associating with these young talents, and is even more unwilling to let himself have a bad reputation for them. After all, this is ancient times, and there is a difference between men and women. She still cherishes feathers.

So she doesn't have much to do with these people.

But anyone who wants to take the examination will send the articles he wrote to Peng Guoan and other gentlemen of Guozijian to see. If they can praise them, this person's talent and reputation will be far and wide, and everyone will feel that their chances of passing the exam will be greatly increased.

Zhao Ruxi is not interested in these people. But in line with the principle of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, she is still quite interested in their articles.

Just before Zhu came back, Zhao Ruyu sent a letter to the old lady, saying that she was pregnant again. Zhao Ruxi took the opportunity to visit her pregnant sister and went to Peng's mansion and read their articles in Peng Guoan's study.

She found that these people were known as talented people and recognized by Peng Guoan, and although they wrote articles in different styles, they were all of a good level, and each had its own merits.

"It's a talented man in Jiangnan, named Duan Chen, and he was also Xie Yuan in Jiangnan last year." Wu Zongdao, "But that person's article is no better than yours." You lost to him just because Master Jin liked his style more. Don't be discouraged. ”

"Haha, I don't care, senior brother doesn't need to comfort me. There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people, I understand this truth. I never felt like I was better than anyone else. Zhao Ruxi waved his hand.

Kang Shilin looked at the little apprentice's gaze and was very pleased.

He likes Zhao Ruxi, not only because this girl has aura and talent, but also because this girl never thinks she is great. Even if she knows that she is smart and has a high level of understanding, her diligence and hard work are not less than others, and even more diligent than others.

If such a person does not succeed, who will?

"By the way, senior brother, after my palace tried, no matter what the ranking is, I want to let the foreign officials go. You also know that the new jinshi is only a county magistrate at most. In my case, I am young, I have little experience, and I am still a woman, and it is impossible for the imperial court to let me be a prefectural official like a county magistrate, but I must go somewhere to be an auxiliary official. Are you interested in letting go of the field? We are not related to each other, and we are not within the scope of avoidance, are you interested in being my boss and becoming a foreign official for a year or two? ”

Seeing that Wu Zong raised his eyes to look at her and did not refute himself for the first time, Zhao Ruxi was overjoyed and continued to flicker: "This is a different experience, it is completely different from Jingguan, govern a place, exercise more people." Wouldn't it be a pity that you don't try it when you're young now and your official hasn't done much, and when you look back on it when you're old and don't want to move, like Senior Brother's status? ”

Although she remembered Xiao Lingyan during the border war, she did not ignore the people around her. She didn't spend points to inquire, but she knew a lot of things about Wu Zong from Kang Shilin.

At the beginning, Zhang Changshen went to the border pass, and the left Shaoqing of Dali Temple was transferred away and moved to Wu Zong, and Wu Zong also crossed the old qualification of Dali Temple Right Shaoqing directly managed Dali Temple.

In a place like officialdom, ability is one thing, and qualifications and connections are the most important. Wu Zong was not only exceptionally promoted, but also rode directly on his head over Right Shaoqing, and Zuo Shaoqing was transferred to another place.

During the time when Zhang Changshen went to the border pass, although the two did not dare to make a stumbling block openly, they let their cronies secretly use a lot of tricks for Wu Zong, wanting to make trouble to get Wu Zong down.

Although Wu Zong didn't let people succeed, he also fought back, so that the two of them didn't fall well. But he was originally a newcomer to taking over a mess, and he couldn't make any mistakes during Zhang Changshen's departure. Coupled with the yin tricks of the two, he was really physically and mentally exhausted during that time.

Now that Zhang Changshen has returned, Wu Zong still did not have a good time in Dali Temple.

So Zhao Ruxi felt that instead of staying in the capital and feeling uncomfortable, it was better to go out for a walk.

Zhao Ruxi's target is Wu Zong, but Gong Cheng can't be left out in the cold.

She turned her head and said to Gong Cheng again: "The same is true for the second senior brother. If you want to be sent abroad, do it as soon as possible. ”

Gong Cheng smiled: "It's good for you to say this to your third senior brother." I don't have to. When I was first admitted to the Jinshi, I stayed below for six years before I was transferred back to the capital. The same is true for your senior brother, he stayed in the capital for a period of time and then let go of his foreign post, then returned to Beijing to take up his post, and then went out again, and the cycle continued. It's your third senior brother, who was dragged into Dali Temple by Master Zhang after being admitted to Jinshi, and has been working until now. ”
