I made a fuss for no reason, which did not affect Zhang Shaoyang's mood at all. I hummed a small song along the way, with indescribable joy.

After walking for a while, Zhang Shaoyang asked with some thoughts: "Chi'er, why did Gao Jingshu come to the top of the city to see me off?"

Chi'er looked at Zhang Shaoyang with an expressionless face: "Isn't this normal for you to save her?"

"Is it normal? Haha, maybe it's right!" Zhang Shaoyang smiled, looked at the long loess official in front of him, and murmured: "I'm very anxious when she did this!"

The crazy man was confused. Zhang Shaoyang didn't continue talking. He just read Zhang Qingyuan's letter. In addition to some of the hearings over the years, Zhang Shaoyang also guessed it.

The crazy grandfather was a cavalry under his grandfather back then, and the five uncles with extremely high martial arts skills in the Zhang family's mansion were also elite soldiers and generals of the younger generation under his grandfather. From these people, Zhang Shaoyang could roughly guess how brave his grandfather was back then? Even though his military power was cut off, the one on the dragon throne still couldn't sleep or eat. In addition, some news from Zhang Qingyuan, there was also a general named Li who was cut off from his country and the country was deprived of his military power. He had always been a mortal enemy of his grandfather. He heard that he had impeached Emperor Taizu and said that Zhang Duo had the intention of rebellion!

Emperor Taizu was originally a yellow robe and had no choice but to sit on the throne of the emperor who ruled the world. Even if he trusted Zhang Duo, he had to consider the 300,000 Zhang family troops in his hands. If he had a yellow robe and put on another yellow robe, wouldn’t it be unhappy to retribution for the cause and effect?

Fortunately, Taizu only cut off Zhang Duo's military power, and in the end Zhang Duo was unwilling to stay in the court, so he allowed him to resign and return home. The general surnamed Li later became the Minister of Personnel. Now his son has become the first-rank Taibao, who is a first-rank official, and is a person who covers the sky with his hands in the court. What's more, his disciples all hold important positions in the court, and even the Privy Council, which is in charge of the entire world, depends on his expression. There is also a commander in the front of the imperial guards who is in charge of the imperial guards, who is his proud disciple. In this way, Emperor Taizu tried hard to cut off his power back then, and it has only been a few decades now, and the Li family can be in a hurry and wind and rain again.

Back then, the Zhang family and the Li family were mortal enemies, each holding hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Although the Zhang family has fallen to this point, the emperor on the dragon throne and the Li Taibao both understand that the Zhang family, who lives in a corner, still has a capital of response. The Zhang family's morale of only one person is the most troublesome. Not to mention whether the Zhang family will do anything out of order, even if Zhang Duo's descendants want to become officials in the court, Li Taibao will be afraid that his status under his own will be in danger.

The governor Gao Chengyuan really took a fancy to the Zhang family as the general. Then he was able to feel wronged as a fourth-rank official and went out of the city to greet him. I'm afraid it might not be.

Over the years, the more money Zhang Shaoyang spent, the more mud he could not support the wall, the more he felt at ease. Even though he had never thought about becoming an official in the court, he had to show it to others that he wanted to get an official in Beijing, but he did not have the ability.

This world is so fucking trouble!

At the prefectural prefecture of Jiangling City, Gao Jingshu, who was sitting in the boudoir, sneezed. Perhaps it was because of the cold wind blowing on the city wall in the morning. She felt dizzy and drank the ginger soup made by the maid to get a little better.

The maid is Gao Jingshu's personal maid. The two have a good relationship. The maid is so angry that she said to Gao Jingshu: "Miss, I really don't know why you are going to see him off. That guy hates it so much."

"Cui'er, if I don't go, wouldn't someone say I'm ungrateful? Being guided by someone behind my back is still a small matter. If my father is embarrassed, that's a big matter." Gao Jingshu said softly with a pale face.

"Okay, then Miss, please rest!" Cui'er pouted, obviously still feeling dissatisfied.

After the maid went out, Gao Jingshu slowly lay on the bed and whispered: "And that guy doesn't seem to be that annoying!"

......

In the small town that I originally planned to go to in the afternoon, Zhang Shaoyang was slow all the way. It was dark and finally arrived. He found a decent inn. Zhang Shaoyang walked in. The shopkeeper still remembered this handsome young man. He hurried to him and smiled and said, "Customer? Two rooms? Or half full?"

"As usual!" Zhang Shaoyang smiled and threw a tael of silver to the shopkeeper.

"Okay, two rooms are in the upper room!" the shopkeeper shouted upstairs.

While cleaning up the room, Zhang Shaoyang walked around the lobby and saw that the layout of the inn was a little different from the previous two times. In addition to the original belongings, various copybooks, calligraphy and paintings were hung on the walls around. Zhang Shaoyang read several of the copybooks. These were all from the same person. The brushwork was strong and magnificent. It was impossible to write without a soft brush.

Zhang Shaoyang is quite picky about calligraphy, and there are few that can attract the attention of the Dharma, but these few words are very good at his appetite.

"Shopkeeper, when did you start collecting calligraphy and paintings?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I have no leisure to collect calligraphy and paintings. These are all painted by a scholar who went to Beijing for the exam. They said they were sold in my store. A pair of calligraphy and paintings were 100 words. After that, I gave me thirty words. I can't afford this poor scholar's paper. The handwriting is beautiful. You see, it's a pity that in our small place, who cares about this?"

Zhang Shaoyang nodded and said casually: "One hundred quotas is not expensive. I will buy ten pairs of money from the shopkeeper. I will pay you the money first and wait until I come back."

The shopkeeper said that as the shopkeeper of the inn, he had some ability to observe people's sex, otherwise how could he open such a big inn in such a small town? The boy in front of him was extraordinary and generous. He saw that he was all the young masters of a wealthy family. Every time he took action, he would spend a few days, which was enough for them to eat and drink in this inn. Now that he has bought ten pairs of calligraphy and paintings, it is another one tael of silver. The shopkeeper thought about it and should he get another three hundred quotas?

Just as the shopkeeper was still thinking about finally making a profit from the loss of paper buying, a man who looked like a down-and-out scholar walked in from the door and gave a gift to Zhang Shaoyang directly.

Zhang Shaoyang quickly helped him up and saw that the scholar in front of him looked pale. He probably hadn't had a full meal for a long time. His clothes were torn and thin, but the awesome morale in his eyes was like flames.

"Did these calligraphy and paintings come from you?"

"Yes!" The scholar just said one word simply.

Zhang Shaoyang nodded, and then looked at the scholar and admired him: "There is a great spirit in his pen. I, Zhang Shaoyang, admire him. Why not sit down and have a drink?"

Zhang Shaoyang pulled over the chair and sat down, ordered a table of good dishes casually. The scholar wanted to speak but stopped, but he finally stopped. After a long feast, the scholar said, "I think you are the two of you who are going to Beijing for an exam!"

"That's right." Zhang Shaoyang replied.

"My name is Wang Ziyuan. I came from Tanzhou. I was a poor scholar. I have been determined to get fame since I was a child. Unfortunately, my family is poor and I have to guard my father. So I haven't been able to go to Beijing for exams these years. It was not until my father went there last year that I calmed down and sold my house and raised five taels of silver to Beijing. However, the five taels of silver were almost empty before they arrived in Jiangling. I went to this town and used it completely. I have been staying here for more than ten days."

"You are going to walk from Tanzhou to the capital?" Zhang Shaoyang's tone was somewhat surprised.

"yes."

"But less than two months after the exam, you may not be able to leave as you are now," said Zhang Shaoyang.

"Haha, I've never had a way back after two thousand miles?" The scholar looked brisk and said proudly: "I'll invite this."

Zhang Shaoyang naturally didn't say anything polite. He knew that people like Xiucai had a sense of arrogance. If they were polite to him, it would probably hurt his self-esteem. It would be better to follow his wishes. The food on this table was inevitably a few dozen cents. Zhang Shaoyang thought about it, called the shopkeeper and whispered: "That calligraphy and painting, there will be ten more pairs..."

Just as the three of them were eating and drinking, they were about to part with each other, two people came in from outside the door, a fat man with a knife, and a smart little girl was following him. The combination of this pair was so strange.
