Cai Xianqing was rocking on the recliner, holding a rosary in his left hand, which was given to him by the King of Wanjun, and the purple blackened red sandalwood lightly emitted a thin fragrance; His eyebrows were soothed, his eyes were closed, and a few small actors stood beside him, beating the old master's back and legs, in order to make progress.

"Master Cai, you will take the team to the palace in a few days, the apprentices have never seen the grandeur of the palace in half their lives, can you ...... Let us open our eyes? The young man held his leg and stared at him like a thief.

"Where the have you been for half a lifetime?" Cai Xianqing glanced at him, "You guys should go to the south in a few days, don't make jokes in front of King Wanjun!" His saliva almost squirted into the actor's face, and the man had to bow his head.

"Lord Cai, someone has asked you to do something." An old man came out from behind the screen, holding a letter in his hand, and was about to come forward.

"Well, you don't have to come here. Who wrote the letter? Cai Xianqing looked at the string of prayer beads and said.

"It's the Nanjing Guozijian and the people's guard sacrificial wine."

"Friends of the Guardian Wine? Please! He got up from his chaise longue and rebuked the playwrights, saying, "I want to see your guests, but you go first!" ”

The men hurriedly obeyed and ran into the back room.

"Honored guest! Dare to ask for your name? Cai Xianqing arched his hand at Ye Yongjia with a smile on his face.

Ye Yongjia came alone this time, and he didn't follow him, and replied calmly: "My surname is Ye, my name is Yongjia, the word Tinglong, I used to be a student of Wei Sacrificial Wine, and now I am in a downfall, so I came to disturb Cai Gong." ”

"Don't talk about disturbing each other, please take a seat." Cai Xianqing pulled out a chair, and he turned around and sat on the recliner, putting the rosary aside.

"Although he was born in singing and opera, he was rejected by the children of those scholars, but he also had the heart to save the world, his ambition and courage, and he sought to make meritorious contributions. Since he is his student, even if he has something to say, Xianqing strives to do it steadily. ”

Ye Yongjia saw that he could make a decision, so he talked about it: "Yongjia was originally a jinshi given by the imperial court, and the first monarch was the imperial history of the central and left capital of the court, but because he offended Liu Zhennian, he was impeached and imprisoned, and died in prison; Lu Deguang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, took this opportunity to raid our house, resulting in the dismissal of all officials and the seizure of Jinshi. ”

"Do you want me to inform the king of the county and ask the emperor to show the snow for your Ye family to restore the name of Jinshi?" Cai Xianqing asked.

"That's it."

Cai Xianqing grabbed the rosary, "Okay, Tinglong, you wait for the news." ”

Just a few days later, Cai Xianqing came back from the performance of the county king's mansion, and he told Ye Yongjia and told him that the matter had been done, but it would take a few months for the emperor to make a decree himself, and he could live in peace during this period.

Ye Yongjia had nothing to do in Japan, so he went to visit Cai Xianqing and chat about idle days; As soon as I went, I saw that although his affairs were much more complicated than Wei Huai's, he was far less tired and tired than Mr. Wei, and he always took care of it calmly, and time seemed to be endless here, because he had never lost that ease on his face. Ye Yongjia measured in his heart that he might be more suitable for doing big things than Wei Huai.

Although he often told Ye Yongjia that it was not bad to be a play, his strong sense of fame could not be hidden, and his contempt for his own identity was shown everywhere, and he actually regarded this lowly industry as a quagmire that he was eager to get rid of. Rather than calling this hypocritical, it is better to say that he knows the rules of the world.

And turn the point to the capital. Wan He Shun entrusted someone to bring a letter of redress for grievances, but he could not hand it over to the emperor directly, of course, he had to let General Liu pass it over. He originally intended to hold the recital, but Yan Wen persuaded: "If the general acts on this, he is afraid that he will make enemies on all sides, and then the people will not accept it, and it will be difficult to continue the decree; If presented to His Majesty, Ye Yongjia will be gracious to General Ye, although he has impeached his father, this grudge can also be resolved a lot. Liu Zhennian listened to this opinion, and then presented it to the emperor, and the emperor immediately issued an order, returned the name of Ye Yongjia Jinshi, and moved to Chenzhou for the general judgment out of comfort.

Of course, Liu Zhennian knows what kind of place Chenzhou is. This has to be recounted nearly a year ago, that is, when Ye Yongjia just left Jinan. When Lu Deguang copied the Ye Mansion, some of them were appreciated by the emperor, so they were proud; When some of Liu Zhennian's henchmen were about to send people to the Ministry of Rites, they were scolded by Lu Deguang, but they were hearty, but after the scolding, they panicked, so they could only ask for a foreign appointment to avoid the edge for the time being.

Today, the emperor suddenly transferred Ye Yongjia to Chenzhou, and Liu Zhennian had some worries in his heart, but he couldn't figure it out, and the emperor said it in passing.

Ye Yongjia accepted the will, but this time he received the Jinshi again, and he did not have the state of mind of the year; Maybe it's because I take it for granted, or maybe I've gone through a few major events, and I've lost the motivation to pursue that pure ambition.

He took the package and other things, and together with Kou Zhong, bid farewell to this majestic capital. Before leaving, he changed his horse and began to march towards Chenzhou.

This road is far from imagining the danger, on the way to see the official post and rest him for the night, the next day to continue the journey, so gradually arrived in Henan. At this time, because it was late, the two of them entered the official post and rested their horses; After entering the house, the people of the official post prepared a meal, and fried a plate of wild vegetables, and the two of them ate a lot, and when they saw that it was not too late, they went out of the house and walked in the corridor.

It was also a coincidence that Ye Yongjia was walking, and saw an official slowly walking out of the room in front of him, he glanced into the room and hurriedly shouted: "Don't come with me, I'll be alone to relax." ”

The door was shut.

Ye Yongjia saw that the man was not tall, he was born square, his eyebrows were light and flat, his eyes were easy-going, the bridge of his nose was slightly higher, his lips were thin, and at a glance, his face was not very human-like, but like a sheep.

"Dare to ask where the prince is going to take office?" Ye Yongjia accosted.

When the man saw him coming, he responded with a smile: "The contemptible person's surname is Chen, his name is the same as the same robe, and he has the same words, and he wants to go to Runing to be an official, Your Excellency ......"

"I am called Ye Yongjia, and I am called Tinglong."

Kou Zhong watched from the sidelines, and felt that the two of them were extremely speculative.

"Oh, how old is Tinglong?"

"I'm twenty-one years old."

Comrade Chen touched his head, then looked up at the weather, "Then I'll call you a virtuous brother." He said.

"I see a little rain outside," Comrade Chen said kindly, "you and me...... And the slave should take refuge in the house? ”

Ye Yongjia nodded, and Chen Tongpao clapped his palm: "Then please!" ”

As soon as Ye and Kou entered the door, they tried the hot air blowing on their faces, and there was a stove inside. Three or five servants gathered around the stove, and when they saw the return of their master, they hurriedly avoided it and retreated to the root of the wall.

"Isn't Brother Xian going to Chenzhou?" Comrade Chen asked flatly.

"That's right, it's a general sentence." Ye Yongjia replied one by one.

"It seems that Brother Xian hasn't been an official for long. Do you know who the prefect of Chenzhou is? ”

"Who?" Ye Yongjia looked into his eyes.

"Lu Deguang. He had served as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites and had the privilege of meeting him a few times. ”

Ye Yongjia's gaze wandered slightly.

"It seems that Brother Xian has a lot to do with him." Comrade Chen smiled calmly.

Ye Yongjia was a little surprised, and closed his eyes, "It's just the past." ”

"Understood." Chen Tongpao didn't ask any more questions, but still said to himself: "This prefect is a man in the world, although people say that he is pedantic, in fact, he has many plans, and even far-reaching plans; You see that he was angry with the Liu Party and appointed to Chenzhou, and he seems to be far away from the government, but he is far away from Beijing, and he is bound to be ......."

Comrade Chen suddenly looked around, was silent for a long time, and then smiled lightly: "This place is very close to Chenzhou, and the soldiers are all sent there; You'll be there tomorrow, but be careful. He patted Ye Yongjia on the shoulder.

Looking at this calm-speaking Chen comrade, Ye Yongjia couldn't even see a trace of urgency and superfluous emotion in him, and he received it just right; That meaningful word, or reminder, added to his unfathomable feeling. This person's city is incomparable, and it seems that all the joy and anger he shows have become a tool for his ulterior motives.

To be honest, Ye Yongjia hates such people.
