A two-horse flying carriage fell into the county office, and the master stood in the courtyard with several officials and saluted the carriage: "Congratulations to the county lord for obtaining the Hanlin civil title." ”

Xu Hao got out of the car, his expression a little complicated.

Originally, he was going to stay in Bianliang, Tokyo for a while, but the head of the family ordered him to return to the place as soon as possible and wait for the imperial court's order.

After obtaining the Hanlin civil position, his official position was promoted to the sixth rank, and it was more than enough to serve as the governor of the ordinary state capital, so naturally he would not continue to stay in Xiayi County as a county magistrate.

According to the arrangement of the Xu family, he would be transferred to Beijing as an official, but after a deep conversation yesterday afternoon, the head of the family, Xu Churen, decided to let him continue to stay in Nanjing Mansion, first for him to serve as an official in a certain government, so that he could continue to be promoted in the future.

Moreover, Xu Hao has obtained the qualification to communicate directly with the head of the family, and any opinions on current affairs can be put forward in time to help the big ship of the Xu family break the waves.

"Master, you don't have to be polite, has anything happened during the time that this official has been away?" Xu Hao asked.

The master smiled and said, "Under your governance, everything in the county is calm and normal. By the way, the battle between the four academies of the county school ended yesterday, Qin Mo won the championship, and He Xuezheng seriously dealt with several teachers who were involved in gambling without permission......"

Xu Hao's eyes lit up, and despite the presence of outsiders, he unceremoniously interrupted the master: "Ziyi won the championship?"

The master didn't care, nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, he defeated the masters of the other three branches one after another and successfully won the championship, and the calligraphy branch even beat the piano by one point and became the champion team of this competition." ”

Xu Hao showed a look of relief and said with a smile: "Ziyi is really extraordinary, go and prepare, and the official will go to the county school after changing his clothes." ”

The master was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "You just came back, don't you want to see the lady and the little master?"

Xu Hao waved his hand and said: "My family can see me at any time, why rush for a while, go to the county school first!"

He was able to successfully pass the Hanlin assessment, which was directly related to Qin Mo's creation of the two methods of folding pens and virtual hiding, and Qin Mo's predictions of current affairs were confirmed, and it was precisely because of this that the head of the family decided to keep him in Nanjing Mansion.

How can such talents be neglected.

A quarter of an hour later, the speeding car sped away towards the county school.

Just in time for lunch, a burst of delicious food wafted from the grass house.

Before the flying car landed, Xu Hao poked his head out and said with a smile: "It's better to come early than to come by chance, it seems that this official has a good mouth." ”

Qin Mo walked out of the kitchen, He Chang and Gu Meng walked out of the main hall, and the three of them saluted him together.

Xu Hao got out of the car with a few large paper bags and said: "I always come here to eat and drink for nothing, and the official is a little reluctant to go, this time I specially brought several snacks from Tokyo City, including boy chicken, spiced rabbit, mung bean cake and peanut cake, please taste it together." ”

Four people sat down, talking and laughing.

After lunch, they started drinking tea and chatting.

At this time, a person wearing a talent suit appeared outside the courtyard and shouted in a modest tone: "May I ask if the head of the world's first child Qin is at home?"

Qin Mo raised his head and looked out of the door, and responded, "I am Qin Mo." ”

The other party took out a red invitation card from his sleeve, hugged his fists and said: "Li Chun, a talented talent in the city of Nanjing, is entrusted by the owner of the garden, and invites the head of the Qin case to come to the garden on Duanyang Day. ”

Qin Mo was stunned, he hadn't heard of Fuyuan, and he didn't understand why the other party invited him.

Gu Meng took the first step and asked, "But the annual Dragon Boat Festival?"

Li Chun nodded and said, "Yes, this year is hosted by the garden, and the owner of the garden started to prepare three months ago, and spent a lot of energy to make it a grand event beyond the past." ”

Qin Mo turned around and asked, "What is the Dragon Boat Festival?"

Gu Meng was just about to speak, Xu Hao preemptively said: "The gathering of literati and scribes, in addition to celebrities from all walks of life in Nanjing Mansion, celebrities from the surrounding areas will also come to join in the fun, which is a good opportunity to win literary fame." ”

He Chang added: "That's right, in order to achieve a blockbuster effect, many people will spend a year preparing and taking out the things at the bottom of the box at the Dragon Boat Festival. ”

"But why did they invite me to go?" Qin Mo asked.

Xu Hao smiled and said: "You were named the first child in the world by His Majesty, this title alone is enough to make the organizer tempted, plus the aura of Shuangjia Tongsheng and the head of the government test, of course I want to invite you." ”

Qin Mo suddenly realized, it turned out that they wanted to use these halos of their own to improve the level of the Wenhui.

Li Chun maintained the posture of holding the invitation with both hands, and did not have the slightest contempt for himself because he was a showman.

Qin Mo smiled and said to the three bigwigs: "Since the three of them respect the Dragon Boat Festival so much, then the juniors should go and see it?"

Gu Meng nodded: "It's necessary." ”

After receiving the invitation, Qin Mo thanked Li Chun: "Li Xiucai has worked hard. ”

"Don't dare to be. Li Chun was still very modest, and said: "I still have to send invitations to He Chang Xuezheng and Dr. Gu Meng, so I won't bother the head ......of the Qin case and say goodbye."

Qin Mo stopped him and said, "He Xuezheng and Dr. Gu are both in the grass house. ”

Li Chun was overjoyed: "That's great, I don't have to run one trip at a time." ”

When the invitation came, He Chang said with some suspicion: "Dr. Gu is famous, and he is a guest of honor at the Dragon Boat Festival every year, so it is reasonable to be invited." But I have been a school leader here for many years, and this is the first time I have received an invitation, so it's strange. ”

Gu Meng said with a smile: "That's because Xuezheng has just been promoted to Shuchang, and the Jinshi of Nanjing Mansion have grabbed a handful, but there are only a dozen of them, of course they won't miss you." ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head and asked Li Chun, "Is Lord Xu also invited?"

Li Chun replied: "Yes, the junior came from the county office, but Lord Xu went out to run errands, and the junior failed to see him, and the invitation was collected by the master." ”

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Sure enough, seeing the three of you receiving the invitation, the official is very envious." ”

Li Chun's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "It turns out that this is the new Lord Hanlin Xu, the younger generation is rude, since this is the case, please come to the garden at that time, and it will definitely add luster to this year's literary meeting." ”

Xu Hao stroked his beard and said, "Definitely." ”

After Li Chun left, Xu Hao put away his smile and said, "Do you know the identity of the owner of this garden? This person is so well-informed, He Xuezheng and I have just passed the exam, and they have sent an invitation." ”

Not only Xu Hao, but He Chang also left Xiayi County because of the promotion of his civil position and official rank, and went to work at the Wendao Academy in Nanjing Prefecture.

He Chang shook his head, he didn't go to Nanjing Mansion often, and he didn't know much about things over there.

Gu Meng frowned slightly, and said, "I seem to have heard that the owner of this garden is a woman, and she is not old for two years, and she is a famous lady. ”

He Chang immediately objected: "How can a famous lady become the owner of a mansion, I'm afraid there is someone else behind it." ”

Xu Hao said: "Dr. Gu mentioned the son of a famous ling, and the official remembered one thing, there is a woman in Nanjing Mansion who is very famous recently, not only beautiful, proficient in poetry and songs, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. After this woman became famous, celebrities from all walks of life in Nanjing City flocked to her, and some people did not hesitate to spend a lot of money just to see her, and the place where she lived was called Fuyuan. ”

At the same time, the Zhangjia family in Nanjing, a hundred miles away.

Zhang Wenqi took the invitation from his cousin with a smile and praised: "I'll just say, there is nothing in this world that my cousin can't do." ”

This invitation was obtained at a great price, and with his current position and fame, he is not qualified to participate in the Dragon Boat Festival at all.

The cousin felt useful in his heart, and couldn't help but flutter, but he still tried his best to pretend to be serious, and said: "The Dragon Boat Festival is extraordinary, in addition to literati and scribes, many big names in our Nanjing Mansion are invited. Therefore, you must perform well and strive to leave a good impression in front of everyone, which will be of great help to you in your career in the future. ”

Zhang Wenqi held the invitation in his arms, picked up a few pages on the table, and said confidently: "I have been ready for a long time, this is a poem bought from a few old talents, the artistic conception and feelings are of the highest quality, and it will definitely have a blockbuster effect." ”

The cousin took it and glanced at it, and praised: "The words are appropriate, and there is no problem with the rhyme, since the cousin is so well prepared, then the cousin wishes you the first place, maybe you can still be favored by Miss Xin'er, and achieve the beautiful talk of a talented and beautiful woman." ”

Zhang Wenqi raised his eyebrows and said arrogantly: "That's certain." ”
