Wu Xianggong knew that the people present were all from his hometown, and he did not hide it, so he introduced the situation of several bachelors and attendants in the Hanlin Academy to a few classmates.

There are four bachelors in the Hanlin Academy, and Master Meng is a relatively neutral existence, although there is no backer, it is still the same sentence, people have a good foundation, they are hard, and they can survive without standing in line.

Wang Weimin is considered to be Xu Fang's disciple, Shaoning has been a jinshi for twenty years, and Xu Fang happened to be the chief examiner that year, so he followed Xu Fang many times.

There is also a person named Yang Dong, who is a close confidant of Zhu Fantao, the head of the Hanlin Academy, and a cutting-edge official who has been single-handed.

At present, it seems that this is a person with ideas, has his own position, and is not completely dependent on Zhu Fantao.

The last one is Chen Guogong's cousin, Zhou Wenxuan, one of the four great talents in the capital. This is another independent existence, not to mention pride, he was still very cynical when he was young, and several things he did in the capital caused a sensation in the government and the opposition.

As for the other low-level officials of the Hanlin Academy, they either followed one of them, or remained neutral, and they were really not qualified enough, and they didn't even enter the circle.

After listening to this, everyone fell into deep thought.

Bachelor Meng returned home, his face was full of smiles, starting from the porter, and the whole house knew after a while that his master had encountered something good, and it was an old man with joy and anger on his face.

When Mr. Meng entered the main hall, his wife and daughter pretended to be nothing, and they didn't pick up at all. Bachelor Meng couldn't help it, "Madam, it's a good thing, it's a good thing," Bachelor Meng was not hypocritical, and he had the final say.

"What, whether you have been promoted, or have you made a fortune," Mrs. Lin knew about her father-in-law's problems.

"Where, where, it's all outside the body, what's the point."

Bachelor Meng shrank all of a sudden, it was too difficult to be promoted, if it wasn't for his own bloodline, it would be impossible to go to a bachelor's degree, let alone make a fortune, if it wasn't for his wife's care, it would be difficult for him to live in his own family.

Miss Meng looked at her father's embarrassment, couldn't help laughing, and still gave a step.

"Isn't it, Daddy did a good job in Yangzhou this time and won a commendation."

"Yes, yes, it's still a daughter, this Yangzhou errand was successfully completed, the emperor came to court this morning, issued a decree to praise his father for his diligence, and gave a set of four treasures in the study room as a reward."

looked at her daughter's inadvertent pouting, and followed again, "In the next month's township exam, the saint specially appointed his father to Qingzhou as the chief examiner." ”

The mother and daughter looked at Master Meng's happy appearance, and they couldn't bear to hit him, he was the kind of old-fashioned official who was loyal to the king, and he was full of awe and gratitude for the saint, but it was just such a reward every time.

"Why didn't I go to Yangzhou this time, if only Yangzhou would be fine, I could go to see my uncle again," Miss Meng remembered.

"Yangzhou can't go, the saint appointed Bachelor Wang to go, this township test, Yangzhou is very concerned, let Bachelor Wang go will be better than me to go, Yangzhou is not good this time!"

Mr. Meng also knew that the township test could not go to Yangzhou by himself.

When Miss Meng heard her father say this, her heart was also moved, will that nerd participate this time!!

On the 10th day of August, the festival is about to begin, and the shops of Xiaohe Smoothie are no longer just selling smoothies. About ten days ago, Yuan Rui thought of a new business for them. Originally, I raised chickens and ducks, but since the roast duck has come out, I just made the fried chicken.

Since this month, not only Yangzhou, but also smoothie restaurants in Beijing have begun to add fried chicken to sale. The burger is not easy to make, but the burritos are everywhere, but the meat inside is replaced with fried chicken, which is simple.

Today, Xiaohe has been with him, and it was only after Yuan Rui said it a few times that Xiaohe relaxed a little. In fact, she didn't want to make money, what the young master had to do at this time, she thought that she must do it well.

The two were talking, and the news came from outside, and Miss Xu came.

Miss Xu is here to meet the account this time, Yuan Rui actually doesn't matter, that money is really not worth making a name.

"Sister, Childe said, this money is fine, you can make your own decisions," Xiaohe is also a true character.

"That's not exactly the case, I wonder if you can take the time to go to the capital."

"No, it's all a small business, I don't have to look at it, sister, don't think too much," Xiaohe thought that Miss Xu asked her to go and see the store, which was even more necessary.

"That's the case, my brother is going to get married at the end of the month, so I may be busy after all, I can't take care of the store, and now I have added a lot of categories, I'm afraid that something will go wrong, so let's take a look."

"Marriage, who is married!" Yuan Rui suddenly panicked.

Miss Xu jumped, "My brother and Sister Zhou, what's wrong," Looking at Yuan Rui, Miss Xu was a little incredible.

Yuan Rui's mood suddenly dropped to the freezing point, getting married, Jiang Yu is going to get married!

Miss Xu couldn't figure out why Yuan Rui was like this when her brother got married. Looking at Yuan Rui's sad back, Miss Xu asked Xiaohe, "Is your son's illness still well, what did I say wrong?" ”

"Sister Xu, you don't know, Childe saw that sister twice, each time he was in a daze, and Childe also told me a story, that sister seems to be a person that Childe was familiar with."

"What sister? Which sister? When did your son-in-law meet Sister Zhou? When did Sister Zhou meet your son-in-law again? ”

The more Miss Xu was confused, she was also a little anxious.

Xiaohe looked at Miss Xu's impatient expression, and could only briefly talk about what happened some time ago.

"That's not right, Sister Zhou has only been to Yangzhou once, where did your father-in-law see her?"

Miss Xu felt that something was wrong, I hadn't heard that Chen Guogong had any dealings with the Yuan family!

"At the beginning, at the banquet of Yangzhou College during the Dragon Boat Festival, the young master met her by the lake, and then I and the young master met her by the lake again."

"Dragon Boat Festival, how is it possible, Dragon Boat Festival, Sister Zhou is still in the capital." No, definitely wrong.

"Ah, who is the young master seeing by the lake?" Xiaohe was also confused.

"Don't worry, you can explain it again and tell me more."

At this time, Miss Xu calmed down and began to be startled, if Sister Zhou really had affection for Yuan Rui, this matter would be a big deal.

Now even Xiaohe didn't feel right, and told the story in detail again, but she didn't know many details, but she clearly remembered the scene of the second meeting.

Miss Xu is such a smart person, she understands it all at once, this oolong is done!

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yuan Rui came together in the morning, and he encountered a happy thing, Wang Berto Lu's family brought a car of specialties over, and asked Wang Dashan to come to Yangzhou with him.

Yesterday it was dark and I just entered the city, so I went to a nearby store first, and after putting all the things away, I rested all night before I came to Lu Mansion with the mountain.

I haven't seen it for a few months, but the mountain seems to be strong again, and it is still so honest. Of course, Xiaohe is also very happy, he has been here for so long, in fact, Xiaohe is also homesick, but he is with the young master, it is not so obvious.

This time the mountain came, so that Yuan Rui had a new idea, Xiaohe is still not very convenient to be a strong woman like Hou Shi in the future, and the current social form does not allow it, besides, I can't do without her at present!

The best thing is to find someone to take care of, as long as the person is honest and reliable, nothing else matters.

As soon as noon, a large group of people arrived, and my sister and the second son's wife also arrived in Yangzhou together, if the old lady didn't want to move, it would be even more lively.

This Mid-Autumn Festival is the most lively day Yuan Rui has had in the past few years, and for many years to come, he often thinks of today's day, and he is also very glad to have so many relatives around him to accompany him.

No matter what kind of difficulties he encountered, he could stick to his bottom line and did not give up easily.

The border pass is unstable again, and the thorn has been silent since the last defeat in the south and retreat to the grassland.

At that time, the whole court believed that after this failure, Hua Thorn would not be able to go south again for at least five years, after all, as many as 200,000 of the 500,000 troops were lost in the territory of Great Xia.

However, he couldn't hide it from King Huai, and when he arrived at the battlefield, he immediately saw that most of the losses of the thorn were attached personnel, real soldiers, and there were not many dead and wounded.

So when King Huai secretly played and explained the situation clearly, the saint also understood why King Huai didn't return to Beijing immediately.

In the past two years, Flower Thorn has been recuperating, preparing supplies, and marching south.

The spies have reported a lot of news recently, and many tribes are recruiting young adults, and they will go south at the latest in the spring of next year.

Now in the court, the military bigwigs have held several meetings, and the border army is preparing to resist in secret.

King Huai first reorganized the Yulin Army, and the general Li Yan's department was reorganized into a large-scale border army with 50 battalions of the three armies, with a strength of nearly 150,000.

The Wuwei border army was expanded to 30 battalions with nearly 100,000 troops. King Huai also reorganized the Duwei, Longzhouwei, and all the other armies under his command into thirty battalions, and personally named the Wumeng Army, with a strength of 100,000.

When the news reached the capital, all the people were boiling, and the Wumeng army, as the name suggests, was to point troops in the big tent of the thorns!

According to the layout of King Huai, the whole Hexi is like a huge pincer, the Wuwei army is horizontal to the northwest, the Yulin army is gathered in the east, and the Wumeng army is in the middle and back, attacking quickly and returning safely.

When attacking, three arrows can be formed, and when defending, the fist is in the hand, which is indestructible, and it can be charged and refired, and the punch can be blown.

It can be said that for this fight, the entire border army has been fully prepared.

Yuan Rui didn't know about these things, and he really couldn't take care of them, not even an official, and he was still too far away. It's just that what Yuan Rui didn't expect was that King Huai didn't know what to think, and he had already sent someone to Tonghai to recruit him to serve in the border army.
