Farmer’s Blessed Girl

The one who went to the Western Regions with Chai Wei also had the imperial decree to deal with Guo Xiao. The emperor expressed his anger at Guo Xiao’s loss of the city.

Zuo Cheng of Qiuci has repeatedly reminded to be careful of people in the city, but he didn't care, and he didn't even send a few more patrolling people, which made the people in the city collude with those outside the city. this calamity.

So the emperor directly deprived him of his official position.

As a result, when Chai Wei was far away, the old man of the emperor came out of the hall one day, and when the cold wind blew outside, he stopped to watch the desolate winter scenery.

Gu Zhong hurriedly put a cape on him and said carefully, "Your Majesty, it's going to snow today."

The emperor glanced at the dark clouds in the sky, Gu Zhong was right, the sky was indeed going to snow, and it didn't take long for him to say this before the sky started to snow.

The emperor looked at the snow for a long time, sighed at last, and instructed: "Let Zhongshu Province draw up a decree to restore Guo Xiao's official position, send someone to Xizhou to bring him back, and let the Ministry of Rites prepare a funeral ceremony for him to mourn."

Gu Zhong responded immediately, and his heart was also a little excited. His Majesty is in love, this is a good thing.

Man Bao and the others knew nothing about it. When they returned to Xizhou, the new Anxi Protector had not arrived yet. General Guo had already been put in the coffin. If General Guo wanted to help the coffin to return home, he would have to wait for the court's order. , he either buried his father in Xizhou, or he could only resign and return to his hometown.

General Guo's coffin was parked in the Guo Temple in Xizhou at this time, and Man Bao and the others went to the Guo Temple to worship him the next day after returning to Xizhou.

In the words of Mr. Zhuang, "Anyway, when we meet, people are dead, and all hatreds are gone. It's a ritual to worship."

So Bai Shan and others prepared the funeral and went to worship. Because Liu Huan was a relative, the funeral ceremony was even heavier.

General Guo died, but he and General Guo really walked according to their relatives, and when they met again, they called their cousins.

General Guo also got out of the pain, and he was able to joke with them, "You and I already kissed, but you lost so much blood to me, and kissed even more."

Liu Huan nodded in agreement.

Bai Erlang said from the side: "Then we also kissed, and the blood we gave you is the same."

Bai Shan asked Man Bao curiously, "Didn't you say that blood transfusions are not easy for close relatives? How can Liu Huan give blood to General Guo?"

Man Bao: "Are they close?"

"Of course," Liu Huan said, holding out his chest, "My grandmother is his aunt."

After calculating, Man Bao said, "It's alright, it's been a few generations apart, and the blood has been lost for so long. It's all right now, so it must be all right."

At this time, the seven people were sitting in a row on a railing of the Guo Temple. Looking at the busy monks and the people who came to worship the Buddha below, General Meng asked General Guo, "Do you want to continue to stay in Xizhou?"

General Guo said in a low voice: "I don't know if Your Majesty will question my father. If His Majesty allows it, I still want to stay in Anxi."

His father has led this team for several years, and he has always been in this team. Even if the Western Regions are bitterly cold, he does not want to leave.

General Meng patted his shoulder and said, "I can ask my father to plead for you."

General Guo did not refuse, but nodded, "Thank you."

Bai Shan said: "We can't help you very much in this matter. If you go back to the capital, we can intercede for you in person."

Now that people are outside, it is obviously impossible to write a book and participate in local military affairs.

General Guo smiled and said to them: "I know, you are civil officials, it is not convenient. By the way, you also have credit for this western expedition, right? Will you be serving as an official when you go back?"

Bai Shan sighed, "The new Anxi Protector has not yet arrived, and General Ashina hasn't decided when the class teacher will return to the DPRK. We have to wait. There are often exams for the Ministry of Rites, but the exams for the Ministry of Personnel are held at the end of March every year. If we miss it, we will have to wait another year, and if we want to go to work, we have to return to the capital before February."

Otherwise, you won't be able to register.

General Guo: "...With your identities and credits, can you go directly to the official position?"

Bai Shan was a little reluctant. "All of them have passed the jinshi examination. It would be a big loss not to be admitted to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel."

Bai Erlang also nodded again and again, "That is, if His Majesty speaks directly to grant an official, is it considered a kindness or our own ability? No, no, it is better to be a normal examiner."

Liu Huan asked him, "Do you still want to be a county magistrate as a concubine?"

Bai Erlang choked and asked, "Why can't the concubine be sent out to be the county magistrate? Don't you think that General Ashina is also the concubine? I still lead troops to fight outside."

"But..." Liu Huan scratched his head and said, "But those are the princesses of the previous generation, the princesses of this generation, and the concubines seem to have idle jobs, not real jobs."

Everyone is eating the princess's soft rice, who wants to be a small county magistrate of the sixth or seventh grade?

"And your concubine is more noble than other concubines. You are Princess Mingda's concubine."

There are also highs and lows between concubines. Husband and wife are more valuable. Princess Mingda is not only the princess, but also the most favored daughter of the emperor. Naturally, Bai Cheng is more noble than other concubines.

Liu Huan didn't understand him, "We don't want to be the concubine because we don't want to be bullied by the princess. Since you are the concubine, you definitely don't mind relying on the princess. Why do you still want to be the county magistrate?"

Bai Erlang choked, then lowered his head and thought.

Seeing that there was a look of approval on his face, Man Bao said: "Mingda still wants to go to various places, but Your Majesty loves Mingda and definitely doesn't want her to go out of Beijing. If you go out, take Mingda out. Is it all right?"

Bai Erlang's eyes lit up when he heard it, "Yeah, Mingda still wants to go somewhere else to play. I can take her when I'm outside."

This time, even General Guo Xiao became curious, "Don't you want to eat soft rice when you are the concubine?"

Bai Erlang said: "Of course I want to eat soft rice, but I don't eat everyone's soft rice."

He said, "I just want to eat Princess Mingda's soft rice."

Bai Shan turned his head and said to him, "You won't be able to catch up with the Jinshi examination this year, but you can try it next year. If you pass the examination next year, you will also take the examination for the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel the year after, and you will be a year later than me. , when the time comes, see if there are any new official vacancies in the place where I put it out, you can put it out there, and we will be closer."

Man Bao rubbed his palms: "This is good, we can go to you to play at that time."

Bai Erlang asked her, "It's okay for me and Bai Shan to go out, can you also go out?"

Man Bao laughed and said: "Then you underestimate me too much. Bai Shan and I have a plan for a long time. It's not a big problem, but it's you, the most important thing is that you can get the officials who are sent out."

General Meng listened with envy, looked at General Guo and asked, "Why don't you come to Shazhou, we will guard the Yumen Pass together."

General Guo shook his head.

See you tomorrow
