The person who came was an old eunuch in red, this eunuch's eyebrows and eyes were all smiling, especially when he saw Shen Ao, his eyes lit up, and he walked up to Shen Ao with a smile after reading the two holy decrees he brought, handed over the holy decree to Shen Ao, and said: "Shen Gongzi, congratulations ......"

The first of the two holy decrees is the edict of the palace test, which says that Shen Ao is listed as the first first, and this one is the champion of today's department, Shen Ao listened, and his first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief, not only to rejoice for himself, but also for the sake of this Great Song Dynasty, the first in the palace test, which means that Zhao Ji feels that his countermeasures are the best, and his countermeasures are to delay and wait for change, and Lianliao to resist Jin, if this national policy is implemented, at least it will not lead to the recurrence of historical tragedy.

Shen Ao is not a scheming politician, compared to those old foxes in the court, he is far behind, his countermeasures are just based on the judgment made by history, whether this national policy is good or not, I don't know the effect for the time being, but at least one thing is certain, that is, it can delay the time for the Jin army to enter the customs.

Of course, the reason why this national policy was adopted by Zhao Ji is estimated to have two reasons, on the one hand, he exaggerated the strength of the Jin Army, which did have a certain effect, Zhao Ji was originally a Taiping Emperor, if he said that there was any pride in his chest, it would be a lie, he was just a very ordinary good person, but he was not a good emperor, so when he knew that the Jin Army was not easy to mess with, Lianjin was just conspiring with the tiger, and this alone was enough to make him afraid.

In addition, Yang Jian's role in the Inner Dynasty is also indispensable, the reason why Wang Huang in history said that Zhao Ji was moved was because Liang Shicheng was running for him in the Inner Dynasty, and now only Yang Jian can speak in the Inner Dynasty. Yang Jian has always been ignorant of national politics and has no opinions, so naturally he will not put forward his own opinions, so it is reasonable to help Shen Ao and speak for Shen Ao.

After listening to the first decree, Shen Ao's heart was full of mixed feelings, there was no joy that could affect the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty, but it was a kind of happiness, it is conceivable that once Zhao Ji chose Xu Wei, or chose other people's opinions, then even if he was the champion of the current department, when the golden soldier was killed, what would be the consequences, it was self-evident.

breathed a sigh of relief, and then rejoiced, because the second edict mentioned the matter of marriage, naturally Zhao Ji fulfilled his promise and issued an edict for Zhou Ruo, and gave another five-grade edict. Although the edict is a false title, with neither salary nor special treatment, it is also an honor.

After receiving the will, Shen Ao said to the public who came to announce the decree: "Please sit in the inner hall of the father-in-law." Then he quietly stuffed a piece of money and gave it to him.

The father-in-law didn't dare to take it, and said with a smile: "Shen Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, this money is not necessary, if you can run errands for Shen Gongzi, it's too late for the miscellaneous family to rejoice." ”

Shen Ao didn't dare to take the money, this father-in-law was not stupid, if Yang Jian knew, would he still have to mess around in the palace in the future? That's looking for death!

The father-in-law hurriedly saluted again and said, "The miscellaneous family hurried back to the palace to make an errand, Shen Gongzi, congratulations, the miscellaneous family said goodbye." "With a few guards who came with him, he fled in the wilderness.

The Zhou Mansion is full of joy, what a glory it is to be the champion of today's department, and the lady has also begged for a fate, double happiness is coming, while going to the National Gazette letter, while preparing to receive guests.

The news spread quickly, and the people who congratulated him also came quickly, this kind of thing had to be done early, and the late people would teach people to seize the opportunity, praying for the old of the Duke of the Kingdom, some of the ministers who walked around in the court, as well as Shen Ao's classmates, Xuezheng and some Xu Chang in the Guozi Prison, as for Dr. Tang Yanhe, he would not come, and Shen Ao had to visit in person with gifts.

Therefore, Shen Ao also cleaned up quickly, immediately prepared gifts, and first went to the doctors' homes to pay respects, this is the respect for the teacher, it is the etiquette, Shen Ao is how to abandon the etiquette, this etiquette can never be abandoned, go to the doctors to go around, put down the gifts, and kowtow, saying that the teacher's teachings, the students will never forget. Kowtow to the doctors, Shen Ao's resistance is not big, Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher, this is a rule, others can abide by it, why can't he abide by it? Could it be that those who have crossed over are superior to others and have the spirit of a king?

The last trip was to the Tang family, the Tang family was far away, so when I arrived, there were already a lot of people gathered here, all of whom heard that the new aunt of the Tang family had won the champion, so they were waiting to see this scene.

Mrs. Tang clasped her hands outside the fence door and said, "Hey...... Sister-in-law of the Liu family, can you let me go, my son-in-law is about to come to thank you, what are you doing blocking the door? Do you want to be a little more civil? Go aside. ”

He also said to humanity: "Shen Ao, this son-in-law, is very filial and never disobeys me, don't look at him today, he has to scream obediently when he sees the old body......"

The crowd laughed.

Tang Yan inside felt that he couldn't save face, and wanted to pull Mrs. Tang back, saving her from talking nonsense outside, but because of his identity as a sacrificial wine after all, if he didn't move her, he would not look good when he made trouble outside. With a roll of her eyes, her eyes fell on Tang Mo'er who was reading a book on the side, Tang Mo'er heard the good news today, but she showed a little reserve, very beautiful style, Tang Yan was very satisfied, and said to Tang Mo'er: "Mo'er, you go outside the courtyard, call your mother in, and tell her to boil tea quickly, when the time comes, I'm afraid there will be no tea to drink." ”

Tang Mo'er said: "Dad, the tea has already been boiled." ”

Tang Yan had no choice but to say: "Then call her, I have a few words to tell her." ”

Tang Mo'er put down the book, smiled brightly, and then lightly lifted the lotus step to the courtyard to call Mrs. Tang in, as soon as she came out, someone laughed: "Mrs. Zhuangyuan is out, look." ”

A touch of crimson flew out of Tang Mo'er's face, she was very embarrassed, she stepped up her steps, and just approached Mrs. Tang, she saw someone coming in the distance, and the crowd hula passed, and said, "Look, look, it's the champion." ”

Mrs. Tang was overjoyed and shouted: "Shen Ao came so early, let go, let go, leave a way for Shen Ao." ”

Tang Mo'er was like a frightened deer, frightened and turned colorless, and hurriedly went back to the house.

Tang Yan also heard the movement outside, and saw Tang Mo'er roll up the curtain and hurriedly go to the boudoir, so he didn't have time to ask more, and immediately coughed, thinking in his heart, this mother-in-law is a disgrace. picked up the book that Tang Mo'er put on the table, with a straight face, looking calm and calm, and waited for Shen Ao to come and kowtow.

After a while, Mrs. Tang came in first, and smiled while rolling up the curtains: "Shen Ao, do you know that Shi Niang has been waiting for you for half an hour, and Shi Niang's legs are a little numb, I will sit down first, and I will make you tea later." ”

Tang Yan didn't move, still looking at the book absentmindedly, feeling ashamed, this mother-in-law can't speak, where can she tell people that they are waiting for Shen Ao? He Tang Yan is a teacher, Shen Ao is a student, only Shen Ao is in a hurry to kowtow and thank him, where is Shen Ao who is waiting for them? Hey, the family is unlucky!

Tang Yan slandered him in his heart, but in front of Mrs. Tang, he would never dare to blame half a word, otherwise according to Mrs. Tang's surname, he would have to eat him.

Shen Ao came in, hurriedly trotted to Tang Yan's feet, bowed down and said: "The student has won the Enke, all thanks to the teacher, the teacher is like a father, the teacher teaches, the student will never forget, please accept the student's three bows." ”

Tang Yan held the book, only bowed his head slightly, and said, "Okay, you can take the test, it is inseparable from your diligence, sit down." His face did not move, as if an old monk was sitting still, still holding a book and reading, not even looking at Shen Ao.

This is the combination of grace and power, as the division commander, you must have majesty, first use majesty to deter, so that Shen Ao does not get carried away because he won the champion, and when the majesty is almost done, then like a spring breeze, give him kindness.

Tang Yan's eyes fell on the book, waiting for Shen Ao to speak; Mrs. Tang on the side was a little dissatisfied, and thought to herself, people are kind enough to come to pay homage to you, who are you putting this shelf for, old thing, how can there be such a toss of your son-in-law, and she is about to complain. But he heard Shen Ao say: "What book is Lord Tang reading?" ”

Tang Yan coughed again, his face softened a little, listening to what he said, he was also curious about what book he was reading, he just took the book to pretend, so he hurriedly turned to the written and looked at it, this look, his face suddenly looked a little unsightly, the word "Female Commandment" was written on this book dignifiedly, and he hurriedly put the book aside, glanced at Shen Ao, and saw that Shen Ao seemed to be smiling or not smiling, and he had nothing to say for a while.

So Tang Yan hurriedly pretended to teach Shen Ao a lesson, Shen Ao listened eagerly, but he was listening to the sound in the boudoir with his ears pricked up, and Tang Mo'er in it occasionally let out a few light coughs, I don't know if it was a little ill or to pass on a message to himself, so he coughed a few times to see the reaction. As a result, this big family, up to Tang Yan, down to Shen Ao and Tang Mo'er, were coughing, and when Mrs. Tang brought the tea, she was very concerned about her son-in-law, and hurriedly asked: "Is Shen Ao sick, oops, even if it is a minor illness, it can't be delayed, I have time to call a doctor to take a look, there is a doctor surnamed Zeng in our Lu'an Fang who has good medical skills, do you want to ask him to come and see?" ”

Shen Ao didn't dare to cough anymore, and vaguely heard Tang Mo'er's silver bell-like chuckle from the boudoir, and hurriedly said to Mrs. Tang: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a little cold." ”

After saying a few words and taking a sip of tea symbolically, Tang Yan said: "I'm afraid that there are already a lot of guests in the Zhou Mansion, you go back early, don't treat the guests slowly." ”

Shen Ao nodded, saluted Tang Yan, and went home.

When the carriage arrived at the Zhou Mansion, the carriage and horses parked in front of the door had blocked a street, and he knew that he could not go to the main gate, so he had to enter through the back door, and got off the car through several archways, and saw Liu Sheng coming over in a hurry from a distance, and said: "Young Master Cousin, Grandpa is back, saying that you will go to welcome guests when you come back, there are too many guests to congratulate, and you can't greet them." ”
