Next Chapter

In 626 A.D., since the Tang Dynasty Taizong Li Shimin ascended the throne as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, his popular governance, love the people like a son style and make good use of talents, bold and innovative governance policy, opened up the most prosperous and prosperous Taiping era of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the emperor Yang Guang of the previous dynasty built a large number of buildings to dig canals, the people were not able to make a living, so that the world was in chaos, and the country was ruined. However, during the Tang Dynasty, the Yangguang Canal played an undoubted role in promoting the economy, promoting trade and agricultural irrigation. The Tang Dynasty made extensive use of talents and wise men, and scientific expeditions were held one after another. The dream of the capable living in the examination to gain fame and glory to the ancestors has become the good wish of the students.

In a small village on the edge of the southwestern Zhao Kingdom, Duan Heyu was born in the era of peace, and he admired Langzhong who treated the sick since he was a child. Often after school, he went to the pharmacy of the king medical hall in the town to help as an apprentice. Dr. Wang is in his fifties, and his reputation for rejuvenation is well-known in that area, he likes Duan Heyu very much, and he is willing to teach him all his true talents.

In addition to his love for curing diseases and saving people, Duan Heyu also has a dream, which is also the wish of the vast majority of students, to get a good reputation to serve the court. For this reason, he worked very hard, always before dawn, secretly got up in the middle of the night, and by the bright moonlight, picked up the book and ran to the stream in front of the house to read it softly......

Now, it's time for the scientific examination again, after the written examination of the township association, Duan Heyu passed smoothly, and he almost went to Beijing to prepare for the exam. Duan Heyu was lying on the bed, it was already the second watch in the middle of the night, but he had no intention of sleeping, and he couldn't help but go to the capital, and he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. It's no wonder that he has just turned seventeen, and it's normal for him to be childlike.

The second aunt next door came to visit the door early in the morning, she is a well-known matchmaker, and everyone in ten miles and eight towns calls her a 'first-line lead', and they all know that she said that the matchmaker's skills are the first in the world......

His aunt, what's the matter with coming to the door so early, right? Duan Heyu's mother said to her after seeing the 'thread' entering the house.

Look at what the sister-in-law said, I can't come to see you if it's okay, I live so close. As the saying goes: This distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, and we don't have to take care of each other if there is something in the future.

Yes, his aunt is a busy person, and he can't see anyone on weekdays, didn't the sun come out in the west this morning?

'A thread' smile... Professionally echoed: Don't hide it from my sister-in-law, I have nothing to do today and go to the Three Treasures Palace.

Oh, Duan Heyu's mother pondered for a moment, and seemed to realize the meaning of 'a thread'.

If his aunt has anything to say, just say it. And be polite to us? It's been a neighborhood for decades, you can just say it.

'A thread' smiled again, which can be regarded as a kind of response that was guessed to be intended. Sister-in-law: Look, I won't talk about it, your family's Yu'er is now an adult, this old saying is good, men should get married, and women should get married. I watched Yu'er grow up, this child has been sensible and smart since he was a child, and he is handsome and extraordinary, how many girls have to worry about it..."A line of lead' swallowed his saliva, and then said: Just with the iron signboard of the good name 'a line of lead' given by me, I will definitely find a good girl for Yu'er.

Speaking of this, a knowing smile also appeared on Duan Heyu's mother's face. Yes, his aunt is right, but now is the time to go to Beijing to catch the exam, and when Yu'er comes back from the capital, we are asking him what he means. 'A thread' is about to answer... was interrupted by Duan Heyu who came out of the back room: No, I'm still young now, and a man should get a good merit to serve the imperial court. Mother, you know the child, I'm still young, and my fame hasn't been tested yet, so how can I get married?

'A line of leads' sat on the Taishi's chair and moved his body, and said to Duan Heyu: I said Yu'er, it's good for you to gain fame in the exam, but haven't you heard that unfilial piety is the greatest? No matter how big an official seat you are, you are not allowed to marry a wife and have children. You just listen to your aunt, and your aunt promises to find you a wishful family, so that you can get a girl who is like a flower... Auntie doesn't take a penny, who let your aunt grow up watching you grow up. After saying that, it was a professional smile.. Duan Heyu replied politely: Thank you for your kindness, it's just that I'm still young and don't have this mind. Immediately, Duan Heyu turned around and went out...

Alas, look at this child, don't be surprised by his aunt, he has a stubborn temper with his father like this. When his father returned, we discussed and persuaded him.

Two days later, Duan Heyu said goodbye to his parents and went to Beijing to take the exam. He went with great hopes this time, he was wearing a set of clean and white clothes, at the moment he seemed to smell a faint smell of spices on his clothes, which was very refreshing, this must have been carefully made by Miss Meilan who washed his clothes two days ago... This spice flavor is familiar......

Duan Heyu thought about it carefully, and then remembered that this was the smell of the sachet that Miss Meilan had been carrying. It's in the nature of girls to love beauty, especially a girl of Mei Lan's age. Duan Heyu knew that Mei Lan had always liked him, but he had always regarded her as a sister. Because in his heart, he only wanted to gain fame and fame, and he didn't think about his children too early.
