Spring is fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, it is the turn of spring and summer.

In the back garden of Yinfu, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the thick shade covers the sun, a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the pond, and the pond reflects a pair of inseparable couples.

Chen Guangrui hugged his beloved wife, was strolling in the thick shade of the poolside, her gentle face was full of happy smiles, when she felt the careful care of her husband, a delicate pretty face immediately returned with a bright and moving bright smile, Chen Guangrui held his wife's Qianqian jade hand, and smiled: "Our Jiao'er is more gentle and lovely now, but now, you are pregnant, don't often be a little daughter." As he spoke, he mischievously scraped his beloved wife's Joan nose with his hand.

Wen Jiao smacked back at Guangrui's chest with disgust and shyness, and then fell on her husband's broad chest, and unconsciously stroked her belly with one hand, with a happy and contented daughter's expression.

The next day, Chen Guangrui got up early in the morning to participate in the official selection examination, according to the Tang Dynasty law, after Chang Ke ascended to the top, he had to go through the official examination, that is, the selection examination, and only those who passed the examination could be awarded official positions.

In the examination room of the Ministry of Officials, Chen Guangrui wrote smoothly in the written test and answered fluently in the interview, and successfully passed the selection examination of the Ministry of Officials. In the interview session, the main officials of the ministry, such as the secretary of the ministry, the lord of the ministry, the waiter Huang, and the examiner Wailang, were all present to take the examination of the Jinshi of Chang Kedengdi, and those who passed the examination could be officially appointed by the ministry.

In the examination room, Chen Guangrui's outstanding performance was unanimously recognized by the examiners of the Ministry of Officials, but at this time, the face of Huang Shilang, the adjutant of the Ministry of Officials, was extremely gloomy, and a pair of thin slitted eyes stared at Chen Guangrui tightly, and secretly gritted his teeth.

It turned out that Huang Shilang was the father of the second son of the Huang family, and Huang Shilang asked for marriage to the Yin Mansion that day, and the second son of Huang who had a bad character wanted to marry Yin Wenjiao, but the result was not only unsuccessful, but was ridiculed by Yin Kaishan, who was upright by nature. was resentful, and wanted to make things difficult for Chen Guangrui, but seeing that Chen Guangrui was receiving praise from Wang Shangshu and the others, and because the chief official Wang Shangshu was on the spot, Huang Shilang was helpless for a while.

After passing the examination smoothly and coming out of the examination room of the Ministry of Officials, Chen Guangrui was full of excitement, led the horse to kick the saddle on the horse, and rode briskly in the direction of Yinfu, hoping to arrive home earlier and share his good news with his beloved wife.

At this moment, a group of foot monks on the side of the road looked at Chen Guangrui, who was immediately high-spirited and arrogant, and suddenly shouted, "Son, please stay." ”

Chen Guangrui was riding his horse when he heard someone shouting, so he stopped the horse.

Looking back, it turned out to be a thin old monk wearing a hat was shouting himself, look at the face but do not know, look at this head like a walking monk's dress, this old monk in a hundred clothes approached, exuding a peculiar smell, as if he had not bathed and changed clothes for many days, the smell was disgusting, Chen Guangrui covered his nose with his sleeves, the old monk seemed to be used to this scene, and he didn't care about the appearance of others who were afraid to avoid it.

I saw him glancing at Chen Guangrui up and down, while muttering to himself: "Although wealth is in front of you, it is not blessed." Hey, it's a pity for this good skin!"

"This son, you will have a great calamity right now, but you can come down and listen to the old monk. ”

Everyone likes to listen to good words, Chen Guangrui heard the ominous words at first glance, and the boss was unhappy in his heart, thinking that this person must be a warlock who walks in all directions, and he muttered that he wanted to rush home as soon as possible, so as to tell his wife the news that he passed the test, so he ignored the old monk, turned the horse's head and continued to move forward, but he heard a loud laugh from behind: "Childe, you listen well. ”

"The flesh and bones of his life are clear, and he entered the Yellow Gate early with his name;

The title of the gold list is Double Happiness Day, and the noble son is destined to enter the sky.

It is difficult to give up the wealth in front of you, and the disaster can be eliminated when you enter my Zen door. ”

After singing the verses, the lean old monk laughed, waved his sleeves and walked away.

A few days later, the jinshi who passed the selection examination were selected and laissez-faire, and the official positions were officially appointed by the Ministry of Officials.

Unfortunately, the official Shangshu Wang, who was originally in charge of this matter, suddenly fell ill and had already taken leave to the imperial court to recuperate at home.

Due to Chen Guangrui's excellent performance in the examination and the commendation of the Son of Heaven in the palace examination, in the draft appointment list, Chen Guangrui was originally "ordered to Hanlin" and selected for the Hanlin Academy, but in the Huang Shilang, who presided over the appointment of the official position, with a stroke of the pen in his hand, Chen Guangrui was immediately released to Jiangzhou, and was reassigned from the Hanlin Academy, a direct institution under the imperial court, to Jiangzhou, which was far away from the capital, to take up a post in Jiangzhou, which was far away from the capital, and assassinated Jiangzhou.

All this, Chen Guangrui was naturally kept in the dark and did not know.

Back in Yinfu, Chen Guangrui informed his beloved wife and everyone in Yinfu of the good news of passing the examination, and everyone was also very happy, and the family waited for the appointment of the imperial court together.

Two days later, the official appointment of the imperial court arrived in the Yin Mansion, and Chen Guangrui was inaugurated as the assassin of Jiangzhou.

West Street Drunken Immortal Building

In an open and elegant private room, Qian Bodang was holding a pot of wine, and was talking nonsense with a few rich children there, talking about the election of any new science and technology jinshi this year, and Qian Bodang, who was already half drunk, hung his tongue and said: "I said each...... Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to talk about this year's Spring ...... Chunqiu, it's not Qian who blows ...... Bragging, my classmate Chen...... Chen Guangrui is the new ...... New section champion. As he spoke, he patted his chest vigorously.

A rich kid had the intention to tease him: "Chen Guangrui, haven't you heard of it, brother?" asked another rich kid next to him, and the man understood and shook his head: "I haven't heard of it." ”

Qian Bo expressed his disbelief at the moment, and suddenly the strength of the wine rushed up, and he quickly stroked his chest, burped, pointed to the crowd and turned around, and said loudly: "He is my classmate and friend, and I was in the ...... yesterday In this restaurant is also ...... For him, his father-in-law's hearts ...... I felt sorry for my daughter who traveled too far with her, so I wrapped a hundred ...... 100 gold as a coil, tomorrow he will ...... I was about to leave for Jiang...... Jiangzhou went, I don't believe you went to inquire about it...... Listen. Didn't my brother say it...... Who else is there among you...... Who is better than him in the imperial examination? Whoa..."

As he spoke, he paused in his chair......

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

Not far away, there was a simple table, on which were placed two bottles of soju and a few plates of snacks, and two people dressed as captains were sitting there drinking and eating food in a sullen voice with wine bowls, but they inadvertently listened to the words coming out of the private room of Qian Bodang.

A dark-skinned, thin man rolled his eyes, leaned closer and whispered to another man with a sturdy figure and a fierce look in his eyes from time to time: "Boss Liu, do you hear me? ”

The man named Liu Hong frowned: "Let me think about it." ”

After pondering for a moment with the wine bowl, Liu Hong suddenly slammed the wine bowl on the table: "Dry!"

The swarthy and thin man smiled knowingly, revealing two large yellow teeth.

"Bang" The two wine bowls collided together, splashed some wine, and then each picked up the wine bowl and wiped it clean!

Liu Hong wiped the remaining wine on his mouth with his cuffs, and smiled at Li Biao, the black and thin man.
