Promotion and fortune in Song Dynasty

Seeing Di Qing's dumbfounded look, Lu Ci couldn't help but rubbed his head, and sighed: "You can be so self-disciplined and thirsty for knowledge at such a young age. Apart from you, I will also see you." It’s like this after one brother Zhu.”

If it were him, at this age, he would not have done many good deeds in his impression.

——Zhu Di?

Di Qing slowly raised his chin, frowning slightly.

Because of the dim light, Lu Ci didn't notice the slight change in his eyes, and only said: "In order to give me crabs, you deliberately waited until this time? I don't know how you got in."

Having said that, Lu Ci knew that the raccoon slave in front of him was actually a clever ghost with an honest appearance, so he was not surprised that he could sneak into the stables that were not specially guarded by officials after he retired from the office.

When asked how to get in, Di Qing's eyes wandered for a moment, hesitating whether to tell a lie, but Lu Ci sympathetically changed the topic: "You came out over the wall after the student in the same room fell asleep, right? ?”

Di Qing honestly nodded and admitted.

"It's a good thing you weren't discovered by the night watchmen, and you weren't abducted by human traffickers." Lu Ci shook his head helplessly, lifted the heavy bamboo basket casually, and said with a smile: "For the sake of crabs, I will help you." Let’s do it once. Don’t do it next time.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he hung the crab basket on the horse's back very naturally, and then held Di Qing's with one hand.

Di Qing was caught off guard by his hand, and when he realized it, his heart skipped a few beats.

Then, like a whipped horse, it jumped fast.

Lu Ci didn't see his red ears, he only held him with one hand, and led the horse out of the stable with the other hand, hanging the resting crate beside it.

It moved uneasily, trying to shake the weird thing away, but its owner rubbed its ears reassuringly.

It snorted and snorted, and then it stopped.

After Di Qing witnessed Lu Ci's actions to appease the horse, for some reason, he felt that this scene seemed familiar...

Lu Ci temporarily let go of the rein so that he could free his hand, and wanted to grab Di Qing by the waist and carry him onto the horse's back.

In the end, I forgot what I discovered a few months ago——Di Qing looked thin, but he was full of muscles developed when running up and down the mountain. His frame was not small, and he was not very strong. Lishi, of course, can't lift it in one breath.

Lu Ci calmly withdrew his hand that proved to fail again after exerting all his strength, and asked, "Have you ever ridden a horse? Or a donkey."

His horse is docile and rarely shows aggressiveness to outsiders.

Right now, he is still comfortably nibbling on a bunch of wild fruits protruding from the branches, and he doesn't even look at Di Qing, the little bean.

Di Qing nodded vigorously.

Horses are too expensive, only a large family in Dijiazhuang owns them, so it is not his turn to touch them at all.

But as for the donkey cart, I still helped my father drive it a few times.

Lu Ci was satisfied: "Then I'll pick you up, so you can get on the horse by yourself?"

Di Qing's eyes widened, and he took a few steps back suddenly: "Grandpa, Gongzu."

Facing Shang Luci's inquiring gaze, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva with difficulty, and said in trepidation: "No need to hug."

Lu Ci silently compared the heights of Di Qing and the horse's back, and shook his head: "It's still—"

As soon as he started speaking, Di Qing put his hands on the saddle, and with a little effort, he jumped into the air, drawing a beautiful arc in the air like a fish swimming.

This handsome figure flashed past, and Lu Ci blinked again, and saw Di Qing landed firmly on the horse's back.

Lu Ci raised his eyebrows.

I'm afraid that this athletic player can catch locusts with the duck kings at the beginning, right?

Di Qing had no way of knowing Lu Ci's wild thoughts.

Although it was the first time for him to straddle the back of a horse that was too tall for him, he could clearly feel the impatient stomping and flicking of the horse's tail, but he was not flustered at all.

... The only thing that can make him feel helpless is Lu Zhizhou so far.

Just as Di Qing was thinking about it uneasily, Lu Ci stepped on the pedals and skillfully climbed onto the horse's back.

He sat behind Di Qing as a matter of course, and when he held the rein with both hands, he was about to wrap the child in front of him.

Just when Di Qing was stiff all over, Lu Ci leaned into his ear with a smile, teasing in a low voice: "It's the first time for me to lead someone on horseback, but I didn't expect it to be a little raccoon slave."

When Lu Ci spoke, Di Qing felt that his ears were numb and didn't speak, which made his mind dizzy. After a while, he said nonsense: "Oh, oh, yes."

Fortunately, Lu Ci had already turned his mind to the crescent moon hanging high in the clear night sky. At this moment, he was concentrating on admiring the bright moon hidden in the faint clouds from time to time, and did not pay attention to his confused answer.

To go from the government office to the government school, even if you ride a horse, you have to ride for a long time.

Not to mention that Lu Ci always rode his horse casually, following its slow pace, now he paced even slower.

However, Di Qing was so dizzy that he didn't know where he was. He just felt that the horse was running as fast as flying through the clouds and fog, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived at the gate of the official school.

The gatekeeper was already drowsy, and he didn't react when he heard the sound of horseshoes approaching.

It was the movement of Di Qing getting off his horse that woke him up and subconsciously asked, "Who?!"

Di Qing was ready to be punished honestly, and at this moment, he also looked like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, and wanted to answer.

Anyway, no matter if he was punished to stand outside the school, copied and endorsed, or beaten with a board, he would come to see Lu Zhizhou off no matter what.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ci was a little faster than him, and said with a smile: "My little friend knew that I was about to travel far away, so he specially sent me there, and now I am sending him back. There is a reason for the incident, and I will trouble you to help him in front of his wife." A few words of accommodation."

The man gradually came to his senses. Hearing these words, he couldn't help showing suspicion, and stared at Di Qing a few times: "Aren't you Di Qing? When did you run out? Why haven't I heard of this?"

Di Qing said blankly: "...I climbed over the wall and got out by myself."

The man was about to get angry when, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Lu Ci whose face was just illuminated by the dim light from the hanging lantern. He couldn't help being taken aback by that extremely familiar outline.

"You...could it be..." He immediately forgot about Di Qing, looked at Lu Ci for a while, and suddenly realized: "Lu, Zhizhou Lu!"

Ouch his mother!

It was the first time for such a high-ranking official to look at him so closely!

The reason why he was able to recognize it was because Lu Ci occasionally came to the government school for inspection, but he only watched from a distance, and it was never his turn to talk to Lu Ci, but because Lu Ci's handsome appearance was so impressive, I just remembered this face.

Lu Ci was completely used to similar reactions, and smiled and said, "Exactly."

"This kid actually knows you?" He asked incredulously, then hurriedly changed his words, trying to put on the most amiable attitude: "Since you are going to see Zhizhou, why don't you just say something to me? How can you?" Climb over the wall by yourself, if you accidentally fall down, you'll be fine if something happens to you!"

Di Qing had never heard him speak so softly before, and he felt goosebumps all over his body.

However, the behavior he dislikes the most is to pretend to be powerful, and the person he least wants to be exposed to is Lu Ci.

Just the kindness of entering an official school is enough for him to repay most of his life, how can he do it again?

Unexpectedly, Lu Ci laughed lightly and did not argue, but acquiesced to this person's little misunderstanding.

Di Qing, who was about to speak, pressed lightly on his shoulder, stopped him from explaining, and said kindly: "Then I will trouble you to take him back."

When Di Qing was led to the door by the man himself, he couldn't help but keep turning his head, wanting to look at Lu Ci again.

He is very clear that after this farewell, it will be three or five years before we meet again.

To Di Qing's surprise, Lu Ci didn't leave in a hurry, but stood there with a smile on his face, watching him all the time.

When meeting Di Qing's quietly looking back, Lu Ci couldn't help feeling amused, winked slyly at him, and waved affectionately.

Di Qing's eyes were dazzled, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

When he turned a corner and Lu Ci was no longer in sight, Di Qing turned his head in a sense of loss, and was dragged away listlessly by the man.

Lu Ci stayed in Fenzhou for another three days, handed over all the affairs at hand, and finally decided to set off for Bianjing.

As for what kind of person the East Palace he will be assisting is...

In addition to the serial dramas he watched when he was young, he learned that Zhao Zhen was extremely tolerant of "Bao Qingtian", and his life experience also had the legendary color of "civet cat for prince". Can be described as ignorant.

Lu Ci didn't panic.

Anyway, as the newly established prince, Zhao Zhen, the sixth son of the emperor who is only eight years old, must be admired by the stars at this time, surrounded by ministers who are full of expectations for him.

With those big bosses around, Zuo Yude, whose job nature is close to that of panacea oil and whose grade is only lower than the fourth rank, can't come to speak nonsense.

In the early stage, he only needs to paddle along with the water. The key point is not to make big mistakes. After he slowly finds out Zhao Zhen's temper, he can consider whether to make any more moves.

Thinking this way, Lu Ci arrived in Bianjing smoothly.

However, before he had time to go home and rest, he was politely invited away by the people from Wang Dan's mansion who had been waiting near the city gate a few days in advance.

Coming to the long-lost Wang Xiang's mansion, Lu Ci felt very sad when he saw all the servants were out of their minds and worried about the owner of the mansion.

After a year, Wang Dan, who was able to cheerfully 'scheme' him last time, is already too sick to get out of bed.

However, after Wang Dan managed to deal with the matters he was most worried about, the anger that was lifted by medicine soon slackened.

A few days ago, when he was working hard at Zhongshu Province as usual, he suddenly fell down on his side silently, knocking over the pen and ink at hand, and the pile of official documents spilled all over the floor.

All the people who thought he was already well were completely dumbfounded when they saw this scene, and they didn't react at all for a while.

Until in the chaos, the imperial doctor was invited over, and the officials came over in a hurry.

It's just that after a while, the person woke up, but the imperial doctor's face was very ugly, and what he brought out was an out-and-out bad news.

——It may seem that people are in good spirits, but they are actually in a desperate situation, and they can let go at any time.

Of course, Zhongshu Sheng couldn't wait.

I was told by Wang Dan early in the morning, and I was prepared in my heart, but when I saw Wang Dan, who was as thin as a stick, asked to have the last document approved before being sent back to the mansion, his calm expression...

Zhao Heng couldn't hold back his tears on the spot, and fell directly.
