Yangcheng

He was used to sleeping with Tang Jianwei in his arms, but after the sudden separation, Tong Shaoxuan sat in the carriage for a long time and was already exhausted. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't fall asleep at night. He was woken up early the next morning, got up in a daze and continued on his way, but It made her tired and uncomfortable.

Sitting in the hard carriage again, Tong Shaoxuan felt pain from his buttocks to his waist, and he missed the soft and comfortable home very much.

Facing the rising sun, the people in the car were all yawning.

Tong Shaoxuan had Ge Xunqing on his left shoulder, and Bai Erniang on his right shoulder. Her head had no place to rest, so she could only lean back and lean against the carriage.

Every time the carriage bumped, the back of Tong Shaoxuan's head would hit the hard and cold carriage from time to time, and she felt dizzy after a few knocks, and the feeling that she wanted to sleep but couldn't sleep made her uncomfortable.

I don't know if Tang Jianwei is awake now.

Definitely still dreaming.

Holding the warm Tang Pozi under her silk quilt, she didn't know which sister she dreamed of.

Tong Shaoxuan, who was on the road, actually misunderstood Tang Jianwei, and Tang Jianwei didn't sleep well last night.

Tong Shaoxuan left yesterday afternoon, Tang Jianwei went to West Market to have a look, Bao's family had already moved out, but the stench in the shop was still there.

If there is a new store with this smell, I am afraid that no one will come.

She took the red sandalwood to tidy up and clean up, and threw away the things in the shop that should be thrown away.

After cleaning everything up, she went next door to buy a few barrels of the cheapest vinegar, poured it in the house, waited for the vinegar to get rid of the fishy smell, and after about three days, the pavement should be repaired again.

Continuing to go out to the barbecue stall at night, Tang Jianwei greeted the guests and was busy, thinking that he would never think of Tong Shaoxuan at all, but when he saw the rocker arm gently shaking the cattail fan, his heart was stabbed.

Silly and tirelessly helping her little rocker, it looks like Tong Shaoxuan.

After closing the stall and returning to Tong's Mansion, Tang Jianwei took a shower and hugged Mrs. Tang into the bed. It was the first time that he felt that the bed was so big.

Before, she thought it was Mrs. Tang who saved her from the cold winter night, but now that the people around her left, half of the bed was vacant, and the whole room felt much colder.

Tang Jianwei shivered from the cold in the bed, so he got up desperately to pour hot water on Tong Shaoxuan's Mrs. Tang, and hugged her in his arms.

"With two Mrs. Tang around, it should be better, right?"

Tang Jianwei tried to empty his mind as much as possible, not letting his body recall Tong Shaoxuan's softness and warmth by himself.

Holding a woman Tang in her arms, and stepping on one, but still can't provide the temperature that can make her fall asleep.

Hey.

Tang Jianwei didn't like the winter in Southeast County.

I just hope that this bone-deep cold will pass quickly.

……

Tang Jianwei went out to work after waking up the next day. When she went out, Tong's chickens hadn't crowed yet.

When Song Qiao went to greet his grandson Yin, he happened to see Tang Jianwei's back in the morning mist as he was leaving the house.

These days, Tang Jianwei always came back to greet her after going out, for fear that getting up too early in the morning would disturb Song Qiao's sleep.

In fact, Song Qiao got up quite early, especially during the period when his mother lived at home, and he couldn't change the habit of getting up early for fear of being scolded——

Her mother's strictness still impresses her in her heart.

"Aniang Aye, are you awake?"

Song Qiao knocked lightly on the door of the room a few times, and it was her father Song Mingyu who came to open the door.

"Come here so early?" Song Mingyu put on a shawl and smiled softly, "It's okay, you don't have to come here to say hello so early in the future. Your mother has eaten well these days, and she can sleep a little longer. I haven't woken up yet." Woolen cloth."

Song Qiao knew that Chang Sun Yin liked Tang Jianwei's craftsmanship very much. After Tang Jianwei found out about this, he took time out of his busy schedule to cook for Chang Sun Yin, and every dish he cooked was very suitable for Chang Sun Yin's taste.

Song Qiao observed carefully that Tang Jianwei didn't cook casually, they were basically Boling dishes, and several of them were Song Qiao's favorites when he was a child.

After all, Changsun Yin is from Boling. He has been in the southeast for decades, and he still enjoys the taste of his hometown. When he eats, he seems to recall many past events. He thinks of old friends, teachers, and Disciples scattered all over the sky.

Sleeping well after eating well, Song Qiao looked into the room and saw that A Niang was still lying on the bed.

Song Qiao greeted his father first and then returned to the front hall. Aunt He made porridge, and when she was almost finished, grandson Yin came over with Song Mingyu and sat down to eat with her daughter.

Song Mingyu asked: "Boyuan hasn't gotten up yet?"

"He didn't fall asleep very late last night. He was worried about the safety of Ah Nian traveling outside. When I woke up in the morning, I just fell asleep. I asked him to come to say hello in the afternoon."

The eldest grandson Yin said: "A Nian went to the spring outing of Bailu Academy?"

"Yes. I seem to be going to Fengxian this year."

"Feng County, isn't that Lu Jian's hometown?"

Lu Jian is an old acquaintance of Changsun Yin, and she is also a talented person who can be picked up by her. She is not a student but is better than a student.

Now Lu Jian is still active in Boling, and she is the best among female officials.

After getting married, Lu Jian got the formula of Yulu Pills from the eldest grandson's family. Three years later, she got a daughter. Now even her daughter has become Chaozhong Humerus, and the Lu family has gradually become the upstart of Boling.

Speaking of this student, Changsun Yin has a lot of interesting things to talk about.

When Lv Jian first came to Boling, she was from a poor family in Feng County, she was not well-known, no one knew her, and she was crowded with a group of poor candidates in a dilapidated house in the suburbs, studying hard.

Without the protection of Menmeng, nor the background of the central official school, ordinary people like Lu Jian who want to show themselves have no choice but to participate in the Jinshi Examination, solicit essays and shoot policies to win the position.

The Dacang imperial examination is divided into several subjects, Jinshi, Mingjing, Mingfa, Mingzi, Mingshu... In addition, there are systemic examinations and martial arts examinations.

The number of people participating in Jinshi and Mingjing is the largest, and Jinshi is different from others, and it is the most admired.

Because the Jinshi subject is mainly based on current affairs strategy, in recent years, it has also added scriptures and essays, which are very difficult, and I am afraid that only one person will be selected out of a hundred people.

However, those with a Jinshi background can have a smoother official career in the future. All the prime ministers in Da Cang today are basically from Jinshi. Gradually, the number of students who refer to Jinshi is increasing year by year.

"I am a scholar in the morning, and I am in the Tianzitang in the evening."

Every year, countless students who are recommended by the central government and the state and county schools, and those who do not study in the college, pour into Boling with the tribute of changing the destiny of the whole family.

Back then, Lu Jian was just a small inconspicuous spray in the torrent.

If you want to be named on the gold list in the imperial examination, you first need to be recommended in the form of row papers.

Before taking the final Shangshu Provincial Examination, candidates need to ask a dignitary in power in Boling or someone with absolute reputation to recommend themselves to the chief examiner to make a name for themselves.

Only when the famous officials are recommended to take the lead in gaining popularity will there be a possibility of admission.

At the beginning, Lu Jian was very confident and directly entrusted her poems to Sun Yin, the prince and grand teacher.After reading it, Changsun Yin was very impressed with her talent and recommended her to the chief examiner.

Because Lu Jian was appreciated by the prince and grand teacher, he became famous for a while, and later won the top Jinshi in one fell swoop.

The title of the gold list is not considered to be an official, and then the official position will only be awarded after passing the selection test by the Ministry of Officials.

The selection test of the Ministry of Officials includes four aspects: body, speech, writing, and judgment.

Because of Lv Jian's good looks and clear speech, he basically didn't have a strong accent. He was famous for his beautiful calligraphy and his judgments were written in an orderly manner, so he successfully obtained the seventh-rank official position.

Song Qiao often heard his mother talk about Lu Jian. It is said that after many years of hard work, this person is now a fourth-rank Dahonglu.

Changsun Yin said: "Back when Lu Jian went to Bailu Academy from Fengxian to study, he admired the name of Bailu Academy's official school. If this year the academy continues to invite old alumni and go to Fengxian, Lu Jian is in Fengxian at this time. For family visits, she should be the one invited by the academy. She has quite a lot of experience in taking exams, and if she gives some advice, it will be a great blessing to the students of White Deer Academy."

Song Qiao nodded.

"A Nian will be able to take the imperial examination in two years. With her aptitude, it is not difficult to be recommended by the academy. If she can communicate with Lu Jian in advance, she will be able to take the exam in Boling in the future, and it will save a lot of trouble. "

Song Qiao was a little curious: "White Deer Academy should have invited you, Aunt?"

"Well, some time ago, the masters of the academy knew that I was in Su County, and indeed they came to see me. But you also know your mother's temperament, and you have long been unwilling to meddle in the affairs of the temple."

Song Qiao knew that a few days ago Lu Jian had sent a greeting card to the mansion, and wanted to bring his daughter to visit Changsun Yin, but was declined by Changsun Yin.

"Alright. I know that Anian's classmates are like a group of little sparrows chattering all day long. A Niang likes peace and quiet the most. If she is surrounded by them, her ears will suffer."

"However, I will still write a letter to tell Lu Jian about Anian. This is what I should do as a grandmother."

Song Qiao has been looking for an opportunity to talk to grandson Yin about this for the past few days, but she also wants to save face. At the beginning, she insisted on marrying to Su County despite her family's opposition. Compared with other brothers and sisters, she is living a better life now. It is indeed poor.

She and Tong Changting were supposed to discuss the matter of Ah Nian, but they are just ordinary people in Su County, where should they discuss it?

The only way is to ask the mother for help.

These years, the mother and daughter did not move around very frequently. Song Qiao never asked, nor did he dare to ask his mother, if she was still angry because of her waywardness back then.

When her mother made up her mind to leave Boling, she had already decided not to care about officialdom, but now because of Anian making an exception, Song Qiao felt quite emotional.

When the three of them finished their morning meals and were about to leave the front hall, Zitan brought over three cups of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, saying that Tang Sanniang had made them early in the morning, in order to help them digest their food.

Song Qiao frowned after hearing this: "How can there be any reason to drink alcohol early in the morning?"

Changsun Yin swept away the usual coldness and was very curious about the sweet-scented osmanthus wine, so he asked Zitan to bring her a drink.

A sip of fruit berry wine with a hint of sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance entered her throat. It didn't have too much intoxicating taste, but she was quite familiar with the aftertaste, which belonged to the deepest part of her distant memory...

"Where is Ah Shen?" Changsun Yin asked.

Zitan replied: "San Niang went out to do some shopping early in the morning."

"When she returns home, let her come and see me."

Tang Jianwei went to the market to find someone to make a plaque for the new store.

She originally wanted to continue to use the signboard of "Tang's", but now that she is married to Tong Shaoxuan, it seems inappropriate to continue to use the signboard of Tang's. After thinking about it, she ordered "Tong's Restaurant".

Five days after the plaque was ordered, Tang Jianwei found another foreman and asked him about the renovation of the toilet.

The foreman has been looking for errands in Su County and the suburbs for nearly 20 years, and this is the first time he heard of such a demand.

The foreman was shocked when Tang Jianwei finished talking about the appearance of the toilet she wanted.

What are the conditions of this person's family, dare to make such a thing.This toilet has been remodeled, so it must not be the standard of the palace?

Tang Jianwei has already got Song Qiao's permission to change it as she pleases, so she is also very firm, the toilet must be changed!

No matter how much money you spend, you have to change it to be comfortable.

Hearing Tang Jianwei's detailed explanation, the foreman knew that this little lady was also a half-expert, and he would just listen to her and change his mind when the time came, which could be regarded as gaining some experience for himself.

So I agreed, and I will find a manpower today, and start work tomorrow.

After parting from the foreman, Tang Jianwei was in a good mood when he imagined the days when he would have a fragrant toilet.

When Tong Shaoxuan came back, the toilet at home should have completely changed. What will this silly boy look like then?

When Tang Jianwei returned home, Ji Xue came to call her, saying that her grandmother asked her to come to the courtyard to have a talk.

Grandmother, grandson Yin?

Tang Jianwei didn't expect that grandson Yin would come to her specially, so he was a little flustered.

Say to Ji Xue "I'll go right away", after Ji Xue closed the door, she immediately sat in front of the bronze mirror to touch up her makeup, straightened the green feather hairpin, changed into a gorgeous and fashionable dress, and wore a simple and elegant dress. Warm jacket, looked in front of the mirror for a long time, sure that he is very virtuous and virtuous, and then went to the yard.

The eldest grandson Yin was sitting on the stone bench in the front yard, holding a small sheepskin soft volume in his hand and reading. Tang Jianwei took a look, isn't this Tong Shaoxuan's "Dayan Crane Collection"?

Chang Sunyin heard her footsteps, raised his head and smiled kindly at her, and closed the soft book:

"I borrowed this brochure from Ah Nian to read it before she left, and it turned out as I expected."

Tang Jian frowned suspiciously.

"I really don't understand."

puff!

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the distance between them was shortened in an instant. Tang Jianwei felt that the former prince and grand master was not so scary anymore.

"Are you looking for me?" Tang Jianwei greeted him, and Changsun Yin asked her to sit down.

"The sweet-scented osmanthus spirit that you sent someone this morning is the taste I used to drink when I was young. People in Boling like sweet-scented osmanthus spirit the most, as if they like wandering flowers. No matter where they go, the taste of sweet-scented osmanthus spirit has taken root. In my heart, I can't forget it." Zhang Sunyin sighed,

"I didn't expect a young man like you to be able to make authentic sweet-scented osmanthus wine."

Tang Jianwei told the truth: "To tell the truth from my grandmother, I have been drinking this sweet-scented osmanthus wine since I was a child. Presumably its recipe has never changed, and it is still the same taste as when you were still in Boling."

Changsun Yin's eyes were calm, looking at the elegant words in "Dayan Crane Collection":

"Do you know that Anian plans to become an official in the future?"

"know."

"Now that you are married, you are a family. You will go wherever she goes in the future. When you return to Boling together and embark on the road to fame and fame, there will be many unexpected things I am waiting for you. Anian was smart since she was a child, and she could only stay at home to study because of poor health. Getting a Jinshi should not be a problem, but getting an official position is the first step."

It was rare for Tang Jianwei to hear Changsun Yin say so many words in one breath.

The eldest grandson Yin, who used to be a first-rank official, said with certainty that Tong Shaoxuan would definitely be named on the gold list, as if this matter had come to a conclusion, which made Tang Jianwei happy.

"Although Ah Nian has been indifferent since she was a child, I believe you have noticed that her mind is pure and not good at fighting with others. In the final analysis, her heart is not cruel enough. If her temper remains the same after entering the officialdom, I'm afraid she won't be able to go to the top. And it’s always being manipulated by others. It’s a good thing to stay where you are, but the worst situation is to go the wrong way and stand in the wrong team, so that you may be killed, and even lose the lives of your family.”

Tang Jianwei nodded approvingly, and couldn't help but think, was it because of the party struggle that Changsun Yin chose to give up everything and leave Boling back then?If she is tied up with Wei Ci and Wei Ci loses power, she is very likely to confess the lives of her family.

That's why Changsun Yin chose to leave heartlessly.

Is that so?

At that time, Tang Jianwei was still too young to understand Changsun Yin's thoughts. He simply considered the actions of this wise man who once stood at the top but voluntarily abdicated based on what he had seen and thought in the past.

From Tang Jianwei's point of view, Wei Ci's beauty in her teens should be impeccable, and she has given power to the world to become a generation of kings. There must be more complicated reasons for the eldest grandson to abandon her.

Tang Jianwei was slightly distracted, thinking about Wei Ci's affairs.

Suddenly Tong Shaoxuan's jealous face came to her mind, and Tong Shaoxuan's displeased expression when he mentioned Wei Ci that night in the bridal chamber was still in front of her eyes, which made Tang Jianwei quickly withdraw her thoughts.

"...But with you by her side, I am at ease."

When he said this, Changsun Yin took off a jade ring finger worn on his thumb and handed it to Tang Jianwei.

"I can see that although you and Anian were married by the emperor, they have gotten along very well these days. It is difficult for Anian to lift the sky by himself, but with your help, it will be completely different. Anian is innocent and innocent. Zhengdao, and you are eloquent and careless in doing things, and you and Anian are complementary. The two of you help each other and love each other, even if you are in a dangerous situation, you will definitely save the day. Ah Shen, Anian has a honest and honest personality, just like you You will have to work hard in the early stage, and the day when she reaches the sky with full wings will be the time for you to harvest. Anian will definitely exceed your expectations."

Changsun Yin had already put the jade finger on Tang Jianwei's thumb while he was speaking.

"This...Grandma, this thing is expensive, I can't take it." Tang Jianwei seemed to be burned, and his hands retracted.

But he was held by Changsun Yin.

The first time Tang Jianwei saw Changsun Yin at the wedding banquet, he found that she was wearing this jade ring finger, and she still wears it today. It is conceivable that it is an accessory she wears with her.

And Tang Jianwei recognized the color of this jade even more, it was the end of the Wanxiang Road, made of pure sapphire, a specialty of the Liuhuo Country, and I'm afraid he could count on one hand what he could find in the entire Great Cang.

This jade ring finger is extremely precious, and it is often a specific status symbol, which cannot be bought with money, but she is willing to give it to herself.

"You are married to Ah Nian, and I haven't given you any presents yet. This is the old woman's kindness." The eldest grandson Yin said, "It has followed me for nearly 30 years, and I have a lot of affection for it. Before it is buried, give it to someone worthy of entrustment. Ah Shen, you deserve it. Just like Ah Nian, you will see her value clearly one day."

Tang Jianwei fell into deep thought.

In the end, Changsun Yin had something to say in his words, and what she said made her feel agitated, and many guesses floated in her mind.

Changsun Yin got up after talking to her, and walked side by side with her husband who had been waiting for a long time, preparing to pack for the return trip.

Tang Jianwei saw that the two were neither holding hands nor linking arms, but they talked from time to time, as if time passed by their fingertips.

Intangible, but it exists in a way that cannot be ignored.

The group of Bailu Academy finally arrived in Fengxian County at lunch time, and the students from the local brother academy came to meet them and take them to the local inn to settle down.

After getting off the carriage, Tong Shaoxuan and the others yawned like they haven't slept in hundreds of years.His whole body was in pain, and when he raised his arm, there was a crackling sound.

Ge Xunqing took the lead in crying, and was educated by Mr. Meng: "As students, I don't expect you to be like your predecessors, but you must at least cultivate your moral character and not let yourself fall. ; People can't bear their worries; they don't change their joys when they return. If you can understand the principle of material temptation and degeneration, you will be one step closer to the sages."

Ge Xunqing's yawn was already stuck in her throat, and she didn't dare to yawn again.

Sure enough, Mr. Meng went on to say: "Then, in which classic is the sage's words recorded? Ge Yangguang, you answer."

Ge Xunqing was going crazy: "Mr. Meng, I beg you, we are out for a spring outing, can you let me yawn and enjoy the spring scenery? When we return to the academy, I don't have any complaints about eating or drinking. No regrets!"

Mr. Meng looked at her, moaned again and again, and walked away.

When they arrived in the county, the inn was more comfortable than the one on the official road, at least they didn't need to sleep in the horrible Datong bunk, Tong Shaoxuan and Ge Xunqing shared a room with Bai Erniang, and a bunk was vacant.

Classmate Zhao Erniang passed by the door of their room, took a look inside, found that there were still berths, and immediately threw the burden on the bed.

"Hey, you should thank me." Zhao Erniang smiled wickedly.

Ge Xunqing didn't know what she was talking about, and asked her suspiciously: "Thank you? Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for filling up the last bunk for you, otherwise you would have to share a room with that stinky stone."

"Smelly stone? Who is that?"

Tong Shaoxuan heard that Zhao Erniang was mocking Shi Ruzhuo.

Shi Ruzhuo's family is poor, probably like many poor families in Suxian County. Not to mention hot water, the family may not even have a shower room, let alone buy firewood to boil water.

On weekdays, I can only comb my hair with a grate, and dry my clothes in the sun, which is considered clean.

It's all a girl's house. If it weren't for the family's difficulties, who would want to be dirty?

"You don't even know about stinky stones? Isn't it the widow's daughter? Sister-in-law Liu's steamed buns are really unpalatable. Tong Changsi, you said you spent this spare money, and I feel sorry for you. You brought her here, but who I don't want to talk to her, and she doesn't say a word like a dumb person, which makes everyone uncomfortable..."

Tong Shaoxuan stood up and was about to argue with Zhao Erniang, but Ge Xunqing and Bai Erniang had already stepped forward and threw her burden out.

Zhao Erniang shouted: "What are you doing?!"

"Don't do anything." Ge Xunqing looks crazy on weekdays, but once she pulls her face down, she is very bluffing, "We reserved this berth for Shi Ruzhuo, who told you to put things indiscriminately?!"

"There is something wrong with you!"

The two sides quarreled at the door, and Tong Shaoxuan found that Shi Ruzhuo had heard a lot at the door.

Shi Ruzhuo was still the same as usual, with his head down and silent, holding the package that Sister-in-law Six had packed for her in his hands, his whole body was dusty, no matter who bullied her, she just pretended not to hear.

I don't know if it's because he has been in a daze with the impatient Tang Jian for a long time, Tong Shaoxuan was particularly angry when he saw her meek look, he stepped forward to grab her, pulled her into the room, and asked her to put down the burden.

Shi Ruzhuo felt a little guilty: "I don't live here anymore. Leave it here for your friends."

Tong Shaoxuan said to her: "You are our friend."
