19. Cloud and Huai Chunxin

Soon, Gao Yue walked out of the middle hall and saw only the shadow of the tree. His wife and sister-in-law were shaking their fans, looking at him with suspicious and unbelieving eyes.

"A Ni, you should know that I am a dignified son-in-law this year..." Gao Yue smiled bitterly and explained to his wife.

Before he could finish the second half of the sentence, Yun Shao, who was blushing, hit the wrist with a fan, "Songqing is not going quickly, don't let Zheng Langjun wait for a long time."

After Gao Yue left, Yunhe next to him covered his face with a fan, and his face was a little red: before her elder sister was married, it was hard for her to think of such a man and woman (my brother-in-law told her sister that she was a dignified child, that must be...that thing). Now that her elder sister has returned to her senior year, she sometimes can't hold back her random thoughts on the bed or in the courtyard, as if a string in her body will naturally wake up in a certain spring day, and start playing the fascinating music. This year, in the springtime, she walked in her house, as if she would notice things that she would not pay attention to before. Peaches and plums, peaches and swallows, frogs, and butterflies will make her blush.

When taking a bath, stroking her jade-like skin and her increasingly mature body, Yunhe even imagined that the husband would love her in the future? Marriage is a destiny of heaven, but the more this happens, it feels more mysterious and makes her curious.

Before Gao Yue went to Jingyuan, Cui Kuan had promised to use the dowry money Cui Ning gave to his daughter. Yu Shengpingfang bought the house for the couple. Now Gao Yue is back and is about to go to the Censorate. Cui Kuan asked someone to take out the 200 guan from his home and start looking for land.

The Duting Post where Zheng Zhi invited Gao Yue was not the one on the west side of Tianjie, but the one on Qujiang. It happened to be close to the Linlin Lake water, and it has always been the place where Chang'an officials invited banquets and entertainment.

Zheng Zhi is also very excited now. He had just passed the imperial examination and became a proofreader, wearing a ninth-grade blue shirt. When he heard that when he learned about his situation, several uncles from his hometown immediately returned his property and sent a lot of money from the Run family. Therefore, when he heard that Gao Yue was back to Beijing, Zheng Zhi took out the money to entertain Gao Yue here.

Within the imperial city, Yunge (Secretary Province) and Xiantai (Censorate) happened to face each other, so Zheng Zhi and Gao Yue were also considered face-to-face neighbors since then.

"You have just received the imperial edict and moved back to Beijing to serve as the supervisory censor, which shows that the new emperor is enterprising and needs to promote talents from all walks of life." Overall, although Zheng Zhi was arrogant, he also knew that Gao Yue's move to farm in Fang Town, Jingyuan, and of course he also recognized this person's ability.

"Civilization, you have been in Beijing. I advise you to go to the shogunate and go to the local area to see where the country's shortcomings lie and how to solve them."

Zheng Ju picked up the wine cup, sighed, and then drank it all, saying, "What you said in the third year of high school is right. When I came to Beijing in the 12th year of Dali, all I thought about was that when I passed the Jinshi, I was a master of the proofreader and was appointed as a proofreader. Then I entered Xiantai and the southern province, and slowly reached the position of the ministers. My blue shirt turned into a breeze, and my breeze shirt turned into purple. But I would like to hide the senior year of high school. When I heard that you should go to Jingyuan, I was a little puzzled at first, but later after hearing what you did in Jingyuan, I felt relieved." As he said, Zheng Ju couldn't help but pinch the sleeve of the blue shirt with his back hand, "If I, Zheng Ju, would only be able to eat in the capital, then what confidence would I have? Take off this green robe and change it to a breeze robe?"

"Civilization is too right, too right..." Gao Yue had a hard time because of Jingyuan Yingtian's accusation, so he got drunk and got very happy this time.

However, Zheng Zhi looked at him and sighed, "I know the matter of Jingyuan Yingtian. I can only say that I have no hands and everything is difficult. Your ambition and practice in the third year of high school are correct, but I guess it has not been at the right time, so I cannot achieve the results."

Hearing this, Gao Yue slapped the food table suddenly, picked up his cup, poured the wine into his belly, and then felt his throat warm, and his ambition turned into complaints, and said violently to Zheng Zhi:

"Xiban has been taking advantage of the fatigue of our Tang Dynasty, day after day, and eroded whales and swallowed my border towns. Now, west of Fengxiang and north of Binzhou are all places where the bandits of Westerners traveled and traitors. Hehuang was lost, and the five towns and dozens of states lost their hands. Now the prime minister of the court is not interested in making progress. The northwest border towns do not garrison, do not talk about martial arts, do not seek to restore the original aid, and Longshan, instead they have to scatter troops and dispel soldiers, and are also ignorant of the Westerners. The Uighurs seek peace and tricks. After the invasion, they send envoys to speak sweet words. Often, jade and silk are the capital, and the beacons will spread throughout the capital. If Jingzhou does not garrison or increase its troops, once it is defeated by Xiban, the bandits can enter Guanlong in large numbers, plunder cattle and horses, and capture scholars and women. How can Jingzhao rely on to defend the enemy outside the gate? What do you rely on! What do you rely on..."

At the end, Gao Yue felt dizzy and couldn't help but put the wine cup on the table, supported his heavy head with his hands, and became incoherent.

Zheng Zhi looked at him, and then gently pushed the paper with his fingers.

"What is this?" Gao Yue rumbled and opened the paper. He saw a line of words inside, "The emperor is not far from the command, so you can prepare carefully."

"This is something that I always give to me," said Zheng Zhi.

Gao Yue held his head and smiled, "So, after the change of the Ring Road next year, the scientific examination will be held."

"Yes, I originally hoped to take the exam with you, but you are now a censor and cannot participate in the exam."

Zheng Zhi was right. The Tang Dynasty's examination was personally presided over by the emperor and was not permanent. However, it was highly valued. It was also the only examination held in the palace court in the Tang Dynasty. The first place was called "Chitou". In addition, the subjects and objects of the examination were also very wide. The subjects include filial piety, brotherhood, and talent, and no knowledge, virtuous and upright, and beautiful literary talent. The subjects can be Bai Ding, a Jinshi, a Ming Jing, or a former official who was dismissed from the rank of the ranks, or a current official who was in office. Anyone who was under the sixth rank could participate.

As long as you pass the exam, you don’t have to choose and be promoted directly. For example, if Zheng Wei passes the exam, he may be awarded a seventh-rank official from the ninth-rank official.

However, the command of the imperial examination is not open to a group of people, and that is the worship officials around the emperor: picking up the remains, filling in the voids, and supervising the censor.

So Gao Yue will not be able to participate in the training for the next year. "In the third year of high school, just watch me and seize the imperial edict. However, you must be loyal and diligent in the Censorate. Otherwise, after the next year, my rank will be on your side, which is not good."

"Hmph... Fortunately, the CPC will be held next year, otherwise Chang Gun..." Gao Yue smiled drunk, waved his hand, and said to Zheng Zi, "There are many disarrays in front of the post station. Civilization, you don't have to worry about which one I am going."

After a while, Zheng Xi also drank high, and tried hard to raise the chopsticks with drunken eyes. The tip of the chopsticks turned into a few shadows, shaking in his eyes. There were still a quail in the soup. His chopsticks were pinched on it a few times, but they all slid out and couldn't be pinched up, so they couldn't help but be anxious and angry.

Gao Yue stretched out the tip of the chopsticks, thumped it directly and picked it up.

"How could anyone pick up quails like this!"

"So your Zheng family in Xingyang is stubborn and like a donkey, and they are not as old as before."

Then Gao Yue laughed and raised the quails.

Zheng Zhi thought Gao Yue wanted to give him the quail, so he pushed the small plate over.
