Chapter Seventy-Seven: He Yu's Promotion

He Zhili saw that the more the two of them talked, the more they didn't like to talk, he hurriedly played a round and pulled Cui Jiu over to look at the porcelain vase.

He Zhichun saw that the dust of the porcelain vase had settled, and a big stone was suddenly put down in his heart, and the whole person felt drowsy. After all, she and He Zhili hadn't slept for a long time because of this, and they felt that they were all covered with ash from the kiln.

She thought about it, so she simply said goodbye to Lu Xun and quietly went back to bathe, planning to sleep well.

This sleep was on top of the starlight.

As soon as they got out of the yard, they were startled, and the entire He Mansion was full of lights, although since the accident in Zhiqiu, the He Mansion had dismissed the subordinates, only the housekeeper and the cook were left, and the yard was also very depressed, but now it is a broken blue stone with a piece of red satin tied to it, which is simply hurtful to the eyes.

He Zhichun went to Grandpa He all the way, ready to have dinner, but saw that the room was already full of people, and even Uncle He and Aunt He, who had not seen him for three months, also came back with He Zhirong.

"Ah Qiao woke up? It's late autumn now, and it's very cold at night, so I don't wear a cloak. When He Zhili saw her come in, he hurriedly stepped forward, took off the cloak he had hung on the side before, and draped it on He Zhichun's body.

He took her little hand again and covered it in his own hand.

"Ah Qiao is close to the second brother."

He Zhichun looked up when he heard this, and saw He Zhiyi sitting there holding a cup of chrysanthemum tea in his hand, drinking it in small sips.

"Daddy is busy on weekdays, and the two elder brothers went to the academy again, so the second brother and I have time to make a fuss all day long." He Zhichun said yes, and pulled He Zhili to sit next to He Yu.

If you want to talk about the previous life, she is actually the closest one to He Zhiyi, after all, he is her half-brother and half-mother; But in this life, he got along with He Zhili day and night, but he was estranged from He Zhiyi.

He Zhichun said, blinking his eyes, "Congratulations to my father on his promotion, congratulations to the two elder brothers on the list." ”

As soon as he entered the room and saw this beaming appearance, He Zhichun understood what had happened.

There are not many people in Yuezhou to take the exam, usually after the test in half a day, you can read the paper and post the list in half a day. Third Uncle He also went to the exam this year, if it was only He Zhishu and He Zhiyi who were on the list, then he would never go back to He Mansion to find a scolding.

Obviously, He Yu has been promoted!

He Yu took a sip of tea and nodded, not seeing much joy on his face, just patted He Zhichun's shoulder and said, "Cui Dou taught you very well." Ah Qiao gave Daddy a bowl of wine, and then made a few more appetizers. ”

He Zhichun nodded, and then led He Meiniang to the kitchen together.

When it came to Chongyang, every household prepared chrysanthemum wine. He Zhichun's chrysanthemum wine was learned from the master of Qinghe Cui's family, and the color was bright and stronger than the ordinary chrysanthemum wine, also known as Jinguang wine.

He Zhichun left a large jar for He Yu, and threw the rest to Zhiweiji to sell.

Everything is served in the kitchen, and the rice is steamed in the morning. He Zhichun stir-fried a braised pig's ear, made a few small dishes, and brought the dishes prepared by the chef to the table together.

He Yu took a sip of Jinguang wine, sighed, and said, "A certain promotion is due to the blessing of Zhiqiu. The eyes of others are red, so everyone has to be cautious in the future, and they are taken off before they are hot in other places. ”

He Yu said, glancing at Third Uncle He and Third Aunt He.

The husband and wife were excited, and nodded busily, how many years has He Yu been the secretary, and they never thought that their brother would have this opportunity to be promoted. If he hadn't been treated as an official before, he wouldn't have been able to resist at all now.

You are a big official, you have the final say!

He Yu looked satisfied, and smiled at He Zhishu and He Zhiyi, and his heart was really happy at this moment.

"A promotion does not depend entirely on his own ability, which is not a big joy. But Zhishu and Zhiyi really made Daddy happy, the tiger father has no dogs, haha, who doesn't envy He in the future, the father and son are all from the imperial examination! ”

He Zhichun listened, quietly glanced at He Zhili, and saw that he was not sad, so he put his mind at ease, and couldn't help patting the back of his hand, He Zhili turned his head to her ear and smiled: "Don't worry, the second brother knows how many catties and taels he has, we are not that material, so I want to be the richest man in Daqing." ”

He Zhichun almost laughed out loud when he heard this, it seems that the appearance of colored porcelain gave He Zhili great confidence.

"Zhili is also very good! Speaking of which, I'm ashamed that the food, drink, and clothing in our family were all earned by Zhili and Ah Qiao, and Daddy has become a white eater! But Daddy eats happily! Ha ha! ”

Because He Yu was happy, the atmosphere on the wine table suddenly became lively, the family ate, drank, laughed and laughed, and after three rounds of wine, He Yu's face turned red, and some of them were upset. The cook pulled the wine table and served some chrysanthemum tea.

The housekeeper helped carry the drunk Third Uncle He back.

After they all left, He Yu said: "This time not only is a certain promotion, Cui Yuanjun will also return to Chang'an." A certain plan to let Zhishu and Zhiyi go together, so they will not spend the New Year at home. ”

Grandma He just wanted to open her mouth to stop her, but Grandpa He stopped her and shook his head.

"Zhishu will continue to take the Ming Sutra exam in the spring next year, but Zhiyi will slow down, go to Guozijian to study for a few years, and then take the exam."

When He Zhiyi heard this, he stood up abruptly and asked, "Daddy, why?" The master has said that a certain knowledge is solid, and the strategy is first-class and good, and if he continues to take the exam, he will definitely be able to choose an official. ”

He Zhichun looked at his excited appearance and shook his head, He Zhiyi is a weak scholar in the end, and he can only talk on paper.

He is only fifteen years old this year, and he is a famous prodigy in Yuezhou, but he is not well-known in Chang'an City.

The imperial examination is not only your paper skills, but also those literati who win the top three every year, which one is not famous all over the world. He went to take the test, and it is true that he could pass the test, but the ranking is difficult to say.

What's more critical is that he is too young, even if he elects officials, he is mostly an idle job with a pen, after all, who believes that a fifteen-year-old boy can govern one side? What about solving government affairs? Even if his strategy is brilliantly written, it will not work.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. If He Zhiyi couldn't even figure this out, he shouldn't have taken the test at all.

He Zhichun's mind turned, and he thought about it. This is also the homework that Cui Dou taught her to do every day, deducing everyone and everything she encounters before and after, thinking clearly and clearly.

She didn't know if she was smart or not, but at least she was a studious person.

Sure enough, He Yu opened his mouth and replied, "You are too young to be of great use." Daddy thinks you have the best talent, but he wants you to calm down. ”

He Zhiyi was shocked by this champion talent, sat down, and only spoke after a while: "The child knows, Daddy." ”

Seeing that he agreed, He Yu nodded with satisfaction, and turned his head to look at He Zhili, "Cui Yuanjun is in a hurry to return to Chang'an to take up his post, and he will leave the day after tomorrow." These days, you may take some silver from the account to Zhishu and Zhiyi to go to Chang'an, at least you have to rent a small yard, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing...... If there are many, give Zhiqiu a little more ......"

The more he talked, the quieter his voice became, after all, his own silver was not spicy to make pepper, and the money was all earned by He Zhili, and he shook his hands and shopkeepers, and he didn't know how much money he had at home!

He Zhili smiled, "What kind of small yard to rent, let's buy a yard directly near Guozijian." Remove the eldest brother and third brother to use, and bring another thousand to Qiu Niang, after all, Daddy's official is also blessed by her! ”

As soon as his words came out, the room was silent, and He Yu stood up abruptly and scolded: "He Zhili, didn't you go to rob the road as a mountain bandit?" ”
