Tan Zhaozhao waited in the main room, the house was empty, and she didn't even see a few soft bags, she knelt down for a while, and her legs were numb.

was moving, about to change to cross-sitting, Zhang Jiuling walked out. He wore a royal blue wide-sleeved robe, his hair was loose and saved, and his gestures were elegant and chic, quite in the style of the Wei and Jin dynasties.

In addition to his face was not very good-looking, his eyes were cold and waveless, and he sat on the seat without saying a word, so that Tan Zhaozhao, who had moved halfway, had to change to kneeling again.

Zhang Jiuling lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, then indifferently withdrew his gaze.

Tan Zhaozhao's attention was on his eyes, it was really magical, in just a moment, his eyes were about to change back to Danfeng eyes.

"What do you see?" Zhang Jiuling asked.

Tan Zhaozhao was found and said, "I didn't see much." ”

But in front of him, a white figure flashed in the mist.

They all looked at each other and drew it.

Zhang Jiuling seemed to snort, and then he didn't say a word.

Tan Zhaozhao was hungry and was about to ask about the morning food, when Qianshan and Meidou entered the house with the food table and placed it in front of the two.

Shaozhou grows rice, usually eats some rice, and all kinds of cakes are still their staple food. On the table are cooking cakes, biro, apricot cheese, and a plate of crisp pineapple.

Spinach is not common, Tan Zhaozhao eats winter amaranth, celery and pickled shallots these days.

Tan Zhaozhao was very happy to be able to eat fresh vegetables and vegetables. Bi Luo was steaming, and the aroma of crab roe came to her, and her stomach was even hungrier.

Zhang Jiuling didn't move, Tan Zhaozhao stretched out the wooden chopstick on Bi Luo, and hesitantly stopped on it.

Earlier, he said that he couldn't eat, but Qianshan still sent the morning food into the house. Tan Zhaozhao thought for a while and put down the wooden chopstick.

Zhang Jiuling picked up the apricot cheese on his dining table, put it on Tan Zhaozhao's dining table, and then used Bi Luo without saying a word.

Tan Zhaozhao looked inexplicable, "This ......"

Is he unable to eat it, or is he not going to eat apricot cheese?

Zhang Jiuling's demeanor was gentle, he could hardly hear any sound, and he didn't raise his head and said: "Eat and sleep, don't sleep, don't speak." ”

Since this is the case, Tan Zhaozhao happily accepted it, and if he didn't eat it, she would be polite.

There is only a small cup of apricot cheese, fragrant and sweet, Bi Luo, who has eaten crab roe filling, is eating a cup, which is greasy and refreshing.

The food on the dining table, Tan Zhaozhao ate cleanly. When he was satisfied, he saw that Zhang Jiuling had already run out, and was sitting there quietly looking at her, the corners of his mouth were raised, as if he was smiling.

Tan Zhaozhao's face turned red slightly, and he picked up the water sent by Qianshan to rinse his mouth to hide his embarrassment.

Zhang Jiuling got up and walked out. Tan Zhaozhao had to get up, she sat on her knees for a long time, and as soon as she was halfway up, she stumbled back.

Zhang Jiuling turned around, stared at her speechlessly for a moment, strode back, and held her chrysalis legs: "Don't move." ”

Strong fingers pressed down on her numb calves. The heat penetrates through the fabric, and the legs are numb and itchy.

"Jiuniang is very focused and serious." Zhang Jiuling said casually.

Tan Zhaozhao was puzzled: "Huh? ”

Zhang Jiuling lifted her eyelids and glanced at her, with a smile in her eyes.

Tan Zhaozhao blushed and glared at him secretly.

He was laughing at her, eating so hard that he didn't even notice that his leg was numb.

Zhang Jiuling said quietly: "With this little strength, you can't go to Chang'an!" ”

Tan Zhaozhao was overjoyed, pulled back his legs and lay down, tilted his head to look at him, and confirmed the truth of his words: "Da Lang promised to take me to Chang'an?" ”

Zhang Jiuling lowered his eyes and looked at the snow-white face under his nose, he froze, held his breath and didn't start, and didn't say whether he got up or not.

Tan Zhaozhao's legs were relieved, he turned over and got up flexibly, and followed up and asked, "If Da Lang doesn't answer, I will take it as a promise." ”

Zhang Jiuling ignored her, walked into the study of the East House, and said, "Eat and drink, it's time to do something." ”

The study is spacious, the shelves are piled with scrolls, and in the cloth are ten scrolls, on which are wooden bookmarks with the names of the scrolls written.

Zhang Jiuling moved the scroll from the top bookshelf and walked out. Tan Zhaozhao didn't know why, so he was about to move, and heard him say, "Don't move, come out and help dry the book." ”

Tan Zhaozhao withdrew his hand and walked out of the house, Qianshan was already in the shade under the eaves of the porch, full of wooden frames.

Zhang Jiuling carefully opened the book scroll, put it on a wooden shelf, and then used wood to suppress it on both sides of the scroll to prevent it from being blown by the wind.

The paper of the book scroll is yellowed and treated with a potion to prevent moisture and moths.

However, the weather in Shaozhou was humid, and some time ago, when I returned to the south of the sky, the walls were soaked in a layer of water droplets. As soon as the weather cleared, Zhang Jiuling couldn't wait to start drying books.

Drying books is not exposed to the sun, but placed in the shade to dry.

Zhang Jiuling's rules and requirements are numerous, and the books that are dried must be classified according to the bookshelves as they are brought out, and the order cannot be disordered. The hands and feet were still light, and the book was carefully damaged.

Tan Zhaozhao was corrected and commanded by Zhang Jiuling from time to time, and it didn't take long for him to get annoyed.

Seeing Qianshan Meidou standing there with her hands in her hands, and then looking at Zhang Jiuling, who had been moving in and out for a long time, she couldn't help but wonder.

Could it be that the bowl of apricot cheese before was a reward for her to be a coolie?

obviously has a hand, he wants to come by himself, and he has to pull her along!

Tan Zhaozhao secretly slandered himself, his personality is really weird!

Zhang Jiuling put down the scroll, and then came to check if Tan Zhaozhao had made any mistakes, he adjusted the position of the two volumes, his breath sank, and said, "Attentively!" ”

Tan Zhaozhao stood there still, staring at him with his chin held high and not admitting defeat, looking like he had left his hands and stopped doing it.

Zhang Jiuling saw Tan Zhaozhao's eyes puffed up and rounded, and couldn't help but chuckle, and said: "I feel tired when I do this, Chang'an is thousands of miles, I'm afraid I can't even cross Meiling." ”

Tan Zhaozhao will not be fooled, and said: "Crossing Meiling and drying books are two different kinds of tiredness, drying books is labor, and crossing Meiling is labor." I'd rather work than work. ”

Zhang Jiuling glanced at her deeply and said, "It's me who wants to be left, you go and rest, and I'll do the rest." With that, he turned around and went back to the house.

Meidou stepped forward and said anxiously: "Jiu Niang, how did you forget that Da Lang has never allowed outsiders to touch his scrolls. ”

Tan Zhaozhao was stunned, no wonder Qianshan didn't step forward to help. And she has been classified by him as his own.

Zhang Jiuling moved the scroll out, and Meidou hurriedly retreated. Tan Zhaozhao was silent for a moment, walked up to get the scroll, but his hand was pushed away.

"You go and rest." Zhang Jiuling said lightly.

Tan Zhaozhao's hand froze in mid-air, Zhang Jiuling looked detached, took the scroll, didn't look at her, and placed the scroll on the wooden shelf according to the bookmark.

Zhang Jiuling ignored Tan Zhaozhao and was busy in and out. The wooden shelves were quickly filled, and he checked them back and forth, and went into the clean room to wash.

Tan Zhaozhao is not leaving, nor is he staying. The planks of the eaves were wiped spotlessly, and she simply sat down and leaned against the pillars in a daze.

"A thousand mountains." Xu Yuan's voice came, Tan Zhaozhao hurriedly sat up straight and looked, and saw her carrying the food box into the courtyard gate, and Qianshan stepped forward.

Xu Yuan looked at it and sighed, "Da Lang is drying books, it's really hard." ”

Qianshan replied yes and took the food box.

Xu Yuan said distressedly: "The lady is worried that Da Lang's morning food will not be used well, so she asked me to bring some snacks." Da Lang is tired of drying books, I have to go back and talk to my mother, and I have to make up for Da Lang. ”

Xu Yuan left in a hurry, and at this time, Zhang Jiuling changed his clothes and came out, and Tan Zhaozhao got up hurriedly and smiled at him flatteringly.

Zhang Jiuling glanced at her lightly, and said to Qianshan, who stepped forward to ask for instructions: "Put it in, go to the warehouse to get the soft bag, and the bed will collapse." ”

Qianshan put down the food box and walked out, Zhang Jiuling entered the house with his hands in his hand, Tan Zhaozhao hesitated and followed in.

On the dining table is a golden soufflé, golden butter shiny, exuding sweet frankincense, a stack of fried crispy, sprinkled with flax Jushengnu. A pot of sencha, and in addition to that, a stack of bayberry.

Zhang Jiuling lifted the pot and poured tea, not salty or light: "Thank you for your hard work, use more." ”

Tan Zhaozhao sneered, sat cross-legged like him, took the tea soup with green onion and ginger with both hands, thanked him and put it aside.

Zhang Jiuling paused, and asked very keenly, "Don't like to eat?" ”

Tan Zhaozhao said: "I haven't done anything, and I'm not hungry." ”

Zhang Jiuling raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "Jiuniang is tired, why didn't you do anything?" ”

Tan Zhaozhao thought about it for a while, and simply paid it directly, "It's mine, don't blame Dalang." ”

Zhang Jiuling's expression softened a little, and said with a smile: "Can bend and stretch, Jiuniang is a person who can do great things." ”

was ridiculed again, Tan Zhaozhao endured and endured, and reached out to take the bayberry.

The bayberry looks purple and fresh, and it tastes sour and slightly sweet, Tan Zhaozhao ate one and didn't touch it again.

Zhang Jiuling put down the teacup, pushed the golden soufflé in front of Tan Zhaozhao, and said slowly: "You said before that I can pass the test and have a bright future. This is not true. ”

Tan Zhaozhao blinked his eyes and looked at him puzzled.

Zhang Jiuling said: "The entrance examination has little to do with the future. The imperial court selects officials, and does not look at the results of the imperial examination. ”

His voice was flat, and his face was as calm as ever.

Tan Zhaozhao felt an indescribable taste, she only saw Zhang Jiuling's success in history, and did not think deeply about the hardships of his road to becoming a supreme minister.

The Tang Dynasty is strong, and there are many talents in the world.

Nowadays, the imperial court sends officials, mainly to look at the door, as well as recommend.

Zhang Jiuling is just from a remote and barren Shaozhou family, and in Chang'an, where powerful families are everywhere, like a drop of water entering the sea, there is no wave.

"Therefore, I want to enter Chang'an earlier, this road is rugged and bumpy."

Tan Zhaozhao understands that the ruggedness that Zhang Jiuling said is not the hard work, but the difficulty of getting ahead.

Zhang Jiuling said abruptly: "Jiuniang, don't look at it, it's not good-looking." ”

Tan Zhaozhao was silent for a long time and asked, "Why did Da Lang take this arduous road?" ”

Zhang Jiuling's voice was quiet and powerful, and he replied: "Profit the country, don't seek wealth!" ”

Tan Zhaozhao's nose is inexplicably sour, he has the ambition to serve his family and country, and his posture of climbing up is not good-looking.

He was so proud, he didn't want anyone to see him.

To be able to say this to her, I guess he has done his best.

And what about her?

In this life, will you be trapped in Shaozhou forever?
