It has been less than a month since Han Yu was transferred to Henan, and today coincides with the retirement of Henan government officials. Last night at dinner, the man he sent returned. did not invite Li He over as he expected. But Yang Jingzhi swore that Li He would arrive early tomorrow. Han Yu was puzzled, after having breakfast early this morning, he was in the main hall to taste tea and others.

Yang Jingzhi was also apprehensive and came to the Han Mansion early in the morning. The senior management saw that the old man had a unhappy face last night, and he stayed at the door early in the morning and acted as a janitor. After Yang Jingzhi met his teacher, he just sat down and took a sip of tea. I saw the senior executives rushing in with a happy face.

"Master, Li Xianggong has arrived. ”

Han Yu raised his eyes and saw Li He wearing a green shirt, his face like jade. With a gentle step, a boy in ink followed the executive into the main hall. Li He smiled on his face, and when Han Yu's body didn't get up, he fell to the ground.

The tone was sincere: "How can Changji be virtuous, Lao Hangong has been concerned again and again." Every time he thought about this, Changji felt ashamed. I came to the door today, just to thank my predecessors for their kindness. I really don't know what words to use to express it, only to express my gratitude with a long journey. Wanghan Gong received a gift from Changji. ”

Han Yu's body, which had already stood up, sat down again in Li Hezhi's sincere words. After Li He finished paying homage to his predecessors, Fang Shi got up and picked Li He up.

"Why does Nagayoshi need to be like this. Although we have a difference in generation, we are really friends who have forgotten the years. Retreat to run for you, it is a matter of friendship. I don't want to see your pearl secretly cast and buried in the people. I am very relieved that you are here. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Li Helai and saw that he was radiant and bright, his facial features were comfortable, and even the place where the two eyebrows were connected before had been naturally separated.

I couldn't help but exclaim: "I haven't seen you for two years, and Changji's appearance has changed greatly." If they meet somewhere, I'm afraid I won't recognize them. It's amazing. As he spoke, he invited Li He to take a seat.

After the next person served tea, Li He took a sip, and Fang smiled: "Born from the heart, Changji used to have a narrow temperament, and he only recognized death and did not know how to change. After a life and death, everything was opened. Today's Changji is no longer the frivolous scholar that Han Gong was familiar with before. ”

Han Yu was surprised, and when he looked at Li He again.

Yang Jingzhi said with a smile: "The teacher doesn't know, Mao Xiaoshi didn't have time to talk to the teacher." Changji is now teaching apprentices in his hometown, hanging pots to help the world. Don't be surprised. ”

Ah, and such things? Everything is inferior, but reading is high. Changji, is this because his career is hopeless, so he gives up on himself?

Han Yu couldn't help but feel glad for his efforts this time. How can a peerless genius who is so good be buried because of those jealous villains and a few words of jealousy!

After three rounds of tea, Han Yu told Li He about the process of fighting for him in the imperial examination this time.

When Han Yu was a foreigner in the capital last year, he offended the traitors and villains in the DPRK because of his upright words. At the beginning of the spring of this year, it was demoted to Henan by the Ministry of Officials.

Before leaving, he talked to his friend Du Congyuan, who served as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, about this year's Spring Festival. At that time, Li He was not able to participate in the local autumn festival.

Unexpectedly, Du Congyuan patted his chest and promised: "Li Changji is famous in two capitals, and he is only crowned for a while." It's just that there is no Qiu Yu as a supplement, and it is enough to have your Han retreat's guarantee. ”

Han Yu was overjoyed and thanked him again and again. and agreed to participate in this imperial examination for Li He and work together.

When Han Yu was leaving, he was still not at ease, and told Huangfu Xiang, a disciple who stayed in Beijing, to pay close attention to the movements of the people who went to the test. When he replied to his disciple Shen Yazhi, he also repeatedly told him to bring Li He along the way.

Unexpectedly, just ten days ago, Shen Yazhi arrived in Luoyang, but he did not bring Li He. The words vaguely revealed Li He's negative meaning about this imperial examination. Just when Han Yu was depressed, he received a letter from Huangfu Xiang, a disciple who served in the Ministry of Industry in Chang'an.

The letter mentioned that Li He would participate in this Spring Festival, which has spread throughout the capital. In the move to the test, it caused an uproar.

In view of Li He's early reputation, if he participates in this Spring Festival, it will be easy to get to the top. As a result, rumors spread among the people in various places. On the grounds of Li He's father's name, they talked about his filial piety and avoided the imperial examination.

Du Congyuan, who was operating this matter for Li He, was under great pressure, summoned Huangfu Xiang to tell him about the matter, and told him to write a letter to Han Yu as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures.

Originally, Li He himself was reluctant to participate, and there was a lot of opposition among the people. Leave it on others, and leave it at that. But who is Han Yu? A typical literati is arrogant, how can he bow his head. That night, he wrote the article "Discernment" for this matter to support Li He. And the disciples of this text were passed on to Fuzhou County School, and its meaning was widespread.

Sure enough, as soon as this article came out, it had a great impact in the Luoyang area. All the scholars were upset for Li He. Han Yue was relieved, and no longer wrote to Li He. ordered the housekeeper to go directly to Changgu to pick up people.

Unexpectedly, through the contact with Shen Yazhi in the past few days, the student Yang Jingzhi learned that Li He was very determined. I am worried that this trip will not be as expected. In order not to let the teacher's good intentions go down the drain. He asked his mentor for orders and went with the executives.

Han Yu sighed when he talked about these pasts. I was about to ask Li He when he learned his medical skills. At this time, the next person came to report, and Shen Xianggong asked to see him.

Shen Yazhi has been stranded in Luoyang for ten days, and seeing that the date of the test is approaching, his teacher is still obsessed with Changji's affairs. I was waiting anxiously, and I couldn't stay up today to come and explore the wind. When he arrived at the main hall, he saw Li He. Surprised, they forgot to bow to their teacher, and then they were overjoyed.

"Changji, you're still here! Brother Fool can't wait for you to read the book. If you delay this imperial examination, you have to apologize to me. ”

Just wanted to laugh, and suddenly remembered that the teacher was still in the seat, so he couldn't be rude in front of the teacher. Hurriedly bowed his hands to the teacher.

Cai sneered and said: "The teacher forgives the sins, and the sages can't help themselves for a while, and they lose their manners." When did Changji arrive in Luoyang? Why didn't I hear about it yesterday? ”

Han Yu stroked his beard and smiled: "I sent someone to his house yesterday and forcibly pulled him over. Is Xia Xian credible?"

Although there was a joke on the teacher's face, Shen Yazhi was convinced. When he left the Li family, the expressions of the Li family's mother and son were unwavering. He didn't believe that Li He would be able to change his mind in the next few days. I'm afraid that the teacher really sent someone to forcibly call him.

After Shen Yazhi sat down, Han Yu said with a smile: "Now that it is less than half a month before the start of the Spring Festival, there will be no delay in starting tomorrow." I still have to go to a banquet at noon, so I'll help Changji write the guarantee now. ”

Saying that, he ordered his subordinates to present pen and ink, and in front of everyone, he waved his pen and wrote a guarantee document for Li He. and signed and stamped with a personal private seal.

instructed Shen Yazhi and Li He, who were about to take the test: "You will leave tomorrow, and you will be able to reach Chang'an in three or four days." First go to the Henan Hall in Chang'an City to stay overnight. Huangfu is already there to help you out. Life is worry-free, and you can study at a warm temperature before going to the exam. ”

Shen Yazhi and Li He thanked each other in unison.

At this time, the elder entourage beside Han Yu said, "Master, the time for you to make an agreement with the Jin Kingdom is approaching. ”

Han Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "I want to go to the banquet, so I won't accompany you for lunch." Let Mao Xiao entertain you on my behalf. ”

Li He hurriedly said: "Han Gong went to the banquet by himself. Such a trivial matter does not need to be arranged for us. I'll go to Brother Shen's place later. I just took this opportunity to ask the two brothers for advice. ”

Han Yu bowed his hand to the crowd and went into the inner room to change clothes.

Li He asked Shen Yazhi where he lived now, and Shen Yazhi smiled and said, "The place where I settled is not far from here, just at the Gaoxuan Inn on East Street." Go with me! The foolish brother will pick up the wind for the virtuous brother at the inn. ”

As he spoke, he invited Yang Jingyi to go with him. After they said yes, Han Yu had already changed into a crimson official uniform, put on a gauze hat, and came out of the inner room. Li He, Shen Yazhi and Yang Jingzhi asked Han Yu to resign together and explained their whereabouts.

They accompanied Han Yu to the gate together, and watched Han Yu get into the sedan chair and go, before walking with Shen Yazhi to the Gaoxuan Inn.

Shen Yazhi knew that Li He's family was poor, and took the initiative to set up a room for Li He at the inn, and asked Lu Hualong to follow the shopkeeper to tidy up first. invited Li He and Yang Jingzhi to his room to talk.

Li He felt his heart, and he was not hypocritical. calmly followed the two to Shen Yazhi's guest room. After the scholar Qingyan served tea to the three of them, Shen Yazhi looked at Li He's half salary.

Only then did he groan: "Changji, I see that your scholar is very raw. The last time I passed by your house, I hadn't seen it. I see that this boy is not very well-behaved, and he has little luggage. Did you just buy it?"

"I picked it up in the mountains, and when I saw that he was homeless, I simply stayed by my side and listened to it. The rules are naturally not on the table, but fortunately, they are pure and kind-hearted and have great strength. It is very useful. Brother Xia Xian doesn't have to worry. ”

Li He's natural casual words made Shen Yazhi open his mind. paid attention to this imperial examination.

"The political discussion of this spring festival is afraid that it is inseparable from the feudal town. What is Changji's opinion?"

Li He said indifferently: "The younger brother doesn't hide it from the two brothers, Changji didn't plan to take the test this time." Coming to Luoyang and going to Chang'an again is just a reward for Han Gong's earnest support. ”

Ah, not going to the test. In order to live up to Han Gong's good intentions, he traveled thousands of miles. This frankness and sincerity moved Shen Yazhi and Yang Jingzhi.

They exclaimed in unison: "Since you have already set off, why don't you take it seriously?

Li He shook his head and smiled: "If the two brothers don't believe it, you might as well wait until the spring and see the movements of the imperial court." When I went to Chang'an this time, I would never be able to enter the Tribute Academy. Changji already knew in his heart, why bother to prepare. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the two of them with clear eyes, and said sincerely: "If I am suitable, I hope that the two of you will hide it for me." Don't let Han Gong know, everything will start to be seen by himself when the spring is over. I'll want to go to the medicine market for a while, but I wonder if the two brothers would like to go together?"

The two who haven't come back to their senses yet, only agreed, but their minds became in a trance. What did he do when he went to the medicinal herb market?

Yang Jingzhi has been in Luoyang for a year and is very familiar with the local area. At Li He's begging, he took Li He and Shen Yazhi and his entourage to Yaowangmiao Street, the place where the pharmacy shops in Beishi are concentrated.

Although Luoyang City is not the capital, it is prosperous but not inferior to Chang'an. The street shops are lined up, and the flow of people is like weaving. At this time, there were several families in front of him to open the way, and a brocade sedan chair carried by four people came over.

This is the embroidered sedan chair of the wealthy lady, and Yang Jingzhi and Shen Yazhi both politely avoided it far away. Li He, who was behind them, reflected half a beat slower, and saw the two of them suddenly squeezing to the side. In a daze, the curtain fluttering in the wind on the embroidered sedan chair that passed by was taken away by Li He's shoulder.

Li He didn't care, and Shi Ran moved forward. In the curtain of the sedan chair, there was a young lady with a beautiful description. Seeing that the sedan curtain was lifted for no reason, he immediately frowned.

But that flash of smooth cheeks, and that idle and vigorous gait. Immediately, the anger disappeared and he was stunned. After the sedan chair passed, a bare hand gently lifted the sedan curtain and looked back at the people who passed by the sedan chair.
