rebirth first official

A few days later, Gao Zhanming boarded the carriage back to Beijing.

The common people in Jiazhou Mansion heard the news that Gao Zhanming was going to leave, and tens of thousands of people spontaneously crossed the road to see him off, sending them away tens of miles in a mighty way.

The officers and soldiers in Jiangzhou knew that Gao Zhanming was going out today, and they were already waiting for Gao Zhanming to pick him up at the boundary marker between Jiangzhou and Jiazhou.The name of the leading officer and soldier was Yi Liu.

Yi Liu leaned on the boundary marker and lost his mind, when a small soldier came over and said, "Hey, Brother Six, I heard that you sent Mr. Gao to Jiazhou two years ago, so have you met Mr. Gao? What kind of man is he? people?"

When an official takes office, every time he passes a state capital and shows his identity certificate, the state officials must send officers and soldiers to escort them along the way. Otherwise, if any accident occurs on the road, the local chief will be responsible.Two years ago, Yi Liu was still a pawn, and he received the task of escorting Gao Zhanming to Jiazhou. Now that he is a centurion, he received another task to pick Gao Zhanming from Jiangzhou to Jiazhou.

In the past two years, Gao Zhanming has been loved by the people in Jiazhou, and his reputation has been extremely high. Although the people in the neighboring Jiangzhou Prefecture have never seen him, they have heard a lot about his deeds, and they have long been very curious about this lord. .

Yi Liu thought for a while, and said: "You are very young and handsome, and you don't have any official airs. When I went to pick him up last time, he only brought a book boy to take office. If he hadn't taken out the official We couldn’t believe that he was Mr. Gao, and we thought he was just a passing scholar.”

The little soldier was surprised: "Only one person? So simple?"

Yi Liudao: "Let the brothers pay attention, he will come in a while, don't treat him as a passing business traveler again."

When the time came, they didn't see Gao Zhanming's figure, but they saw a dark brigade rolling towards the boundary marker from a distance.

Everyone was startled, and there was a lot of discussion.

"Look! Who are those in front?"

"Oops, why are there so many people? Could it be a riot? Mr. Gao is coming, what should we do?"

"There are so many people, at least a thousand! Hurry up, go back to the government to ask for reinforcements!"

Yi Liu was startled, and was about to run away, but he took a second look carefully, and saw the brigade in front slowly marching in, and could already hear the sound of wailing, in front were escorted by a few people in military uniform Driving a carriage, the large troops behind were neat and orderly, all civilians in sackcloth.

"Wait...wait!" Yi Liu called out to everyone, "It seems...it seems to be Mr. Gao's chariot."

Everyone was shocked and gathered around again.The little soldier who was talking to Yi Liu just now couldn't stop his mouth from ear to ear: "Master Gao? Sixth brother, didn't you say that Mr. Gao traveled low-key and only brought a book boy? There are so many people!"

Yi Liu was also at a loss.

Not long after, the large troops approached, and everyone saw clearly that it was indeed Gao Zhanming's car, followed by the people of Jiazhou who spontaneously sent them off.

The carriage drove to the boundary marker, Gao Zhanming got off his horse, and comforted the people behind: "Go back, you will leave Jiazhou."

The people are reluctant to part.

"Master Gao, can you not leave?"

"Master Gao, will you come back?"

Gao Zhanming comforted in a gentle voice: "After I leave, Prefect Liu will find an official to replace me, and it may not be as good as me."

Everyone still lingered at the boundary marker, reluctant to go back.

Li Jingruo got off the carriage and said: "Master Gao returned to the capital to be promoted to the censor. He has more powers in his hands. He will remember you in his heart in the middle of the capital, and he will ask for orders for the people of Shu. Go back, and wait a little longer. It's going to be a waste of time."

The common people were reluctant to leave, but Gao Zhanming couldn't stay any longer, he sat back in the carriage, the officers and men from Jiazhou and Jiangzhou prefecture handed over, Yi Liu and others escorted him into Jiangzhou.

Gao Zhanming lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the crowd getting farther and farther behind, Li Jingruo said sourly: "There is not much time left, would you rather look at them more than me?"

Gao Zhanming put down the car curtain, said with a smile: "You and I will meet again sooner or later, not in a hurry."

In the evening, everyone settled down at the post station in Jiangzhou Prefecture.

Gao Zhanming went to bed after washing, and Li Jingruo crawled into his bed, lingering with him, reluctant to part.

"Tomorrow I won't send any more." Li Jingruo said.

Gao Zhanming hooked his neck and looked at him with blurred eyes.

Li Jingruo kissed him hard on the lips, slid his hands down to his buttocks, stayed there for a moment, but took them back.

Gao Zhanming was already emotionally teased by Li Jingruo, seeing him stop, he cast a puzzled look at him.

Li Jingruo sighed, got down from him, and lay down opposite him with his arms around him: "Forget it, you have to continue on your way tomorrow, so I won't bother you. Anyway... we will see you again soon. The future will be long, this time Write down the account first."

Gao Zhanming remained silent.

After a while, Li Jingruo asked him softly, "Do you believe me?"

Gao Zhanming looked at him calmly: "What about you?"

Li Jingruo smiled, hesitated for a moment, and said, "If one day, I do something that temporarily hurts you..."

Gao Zhanming said: "Are you reminding me? Warning me?"

Li Jingruo stopped using a cynical tone: "I just hope you believe me."

Gao Zhanming smiled gratifiedly, but said nothing.This is the tacit understanding between him and Li Jingruo.He already understood what Li Jingruo wanted him to understand.And what he wanted Li Jingruo to understand, Li Jingruo should also understand.

Early the next morning, Gao Zhanming and Li Jingruo formally bid farewell, got into the carriage and continued north.

Yi Liu and others sent Gao Zhanming out of the Jiangzhou capital, and Gao Zhanming followed the officers and soldiers of the next state capital.

Yi Liu and the others looked at Gao Zhanming's leaving carriage and were filled with emotion.

A little soldier said: "I heard that Li Dudu originally intended to let Mr. Gao come to our Jiangzhou Mansion as the prefect. He was so loved by the people in Jiazhou. When I came home at the beginning of the year, my mother still told me that if Mr. Gao really It would be great if you could come to our Jiangzhou. It's a pity, it's a pity."

Everyone responded one after another, seeing Gao Zhanming's carriage going further and further away, they reluctantly went back.

A month later, Gao Zhanming finally arrived in the capital smoothly.

Gao Zhanming returned to his mansion in a hurry. Liu heard the news of Gao Zhanming's return early in the morning, and was waiting at the door early in the morning.Seeing Gao Zhanming getting off the carriage, he greeted him with tears in his eyes: "Master, you are back!"

Gao Zhanming smiled and hugged Liu Da vigorously.

Yin He followed and threw himself on Liu Da: "Brother Liu, I miss you so much!"

Liu Da wiped his tears and looked at the two of them: "Okay, okay, you have grown taller and more handsome than before. Come in quickly, Madam is already waiting!"

Gao Zhanming entered the mansion, changed his clothes, washed his face with clean water, and went to see Tang Xue.

As soon as Tang Xue saw Gao Zhanming, two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks. She held Gao Zhanming's hand and choked with sobs: "I'm back...my Ming'er...he's finally back, mother misses you so much!"

Gao Zhanming gently wiped away tears for her: "Mother, the child is not filial, and has not served mother by her side for two years. How have mother been these two years?"

Tang Xue nodded again and again: "Okay, okay!"

In the past, Tang Xue and Gao Zhanming's lives were miserable because Gao Yuanqing left early, and their orphans and widows had no one to rely on, so they were bullied everywhere.Now that Gao Zhanming has made achievements abroad and has become the pillar of the family, Liu Da and others have maintained the family's business very well. Those noble ladies no longer dare to underestimate Tang Xue, and their attitude towards her has become much more kind. Flattery flatters her.Originally, Gao Zhanming sued her younger brother Tang Gan to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and was sentenced to death. She still felt a little bit resentful towards Gao Zhanming, but as time went by, she gradually forgot about the past and was full of pride for her son.

Gao Zhanming had been on the road for several days, and now he was very hungry. Liu Da had already ordered people to prepare the food and wine, and Tang Xue ordered people to bring the food and wine to his room, and had dinner with Gao Zhanming.

The two gossiped about what happened in Beijing and Jiazhou in the past two years. Tang Xue had already heard about Gao Zhanming's achievements in Jiazhou, and kept asking him how he did it. With tears in his eyes, he said: "Your father left early, and mother was worried that she would not teach you enough, but now it seems that mother is worrying too much. You can wash up in a while, and go to the next door to visit your uncle at the Duke's mansion, thank you His cultivation of you."

Gao Zhanming frowned, put down his chopsticks: "Mother, are you and uncle still...?"

Tang Xue's face was a little embarrassed.The scandal between her and Gao Yuanzhao was broken by Gao Zhanming and Gao Huachong with their own eyes. After that, Gao Yuanzhao never came to her in private again.In fact, she would have an affair with Gao Yuanzhao, which was also instigated by Tang Qian that day.Tang Gan said that their orphans and widowed mothers had no support, and asked her to find a way to please An Guogong, saying that even if she didn't think about him, she had to think about Gao Zhanming.Tang Qian also took the initiative to help her set up the line several times.She didn't have any opinions, and she really felt that the life of a widow was difficult. It happened that Gao Yuanzhao was a lecher, and the two hooked up after a while.

Tang Xuedao: "Mother knows that I was confused before...but mother is also for your own good..."

Gao Zhanming looked displeased, and said: "Mother, if you really want to be good for the child, you must never do such stupid things again! The child can support the mother on his own. But if this matter between you and uncle is exposed, That's what really hurt the child!"

Tang Xue lowered her head in embarrassment: "Mother didn't mean that...it hasn't happened since that time..." She asked Gao Zhanming to visit An Guogong, but in fact, she really didn't mean to rekindle the old relationship with An Guogong, but But Gao Zhanming had just returned to Beijing, she hoped that Gao Zhanming could climb up to An Guogong, and An Guogong would take care of him more in the future, which would be beneficial to his official career.

Gao Zhanming softened his tone: "Mother, what should I do? The child knows what to do. Mother just needs to stay at home and enjoy the happiness."

Tang Xue stopped mentioning Duke An.

After the two ate for a while, Tang Xue asked him again: "Did you marry a wife and take a concubine in Jiazhou in the past two years?"

Gao Zhanming said, "No."

Tang Xue couldn't believe it: "Never took a concubine?"

Gao Zhanming shook his head.

Tang Xue smiled all of a sudden: "Okay, okay. Mother can't help you with political matters when you are outside, but mother is always thinking about you when you are at home. You are already 20 years old. When mother heard that you were coming back, All the rosters of suitable girls in Beijing are here..."

Gao Zhanming suddenly got one head and two big, and hurriedly interrupted: "There is no rush to marry a wife, let's talk about it after the child is familiar with the affairs of the court."

Tang Xue disagreed: "It doesn't matter if you don't marry a wife, you should take in a roommate first. Mother just took in a servant girl last year. She looks good and has a good temperament. Mother just took it in for you. You... "

Gao Zhanming hurriedly said: "Mom, let's talk about this matter later. I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I'm afraid I hurt my blood during the rush. I'll go back and rest first."

As soon as Tang Xue heard that Gao Zhanming was not feeling well, she hurriedly came up to check his body: "Oh my god, what's not feeling well, mother will call you a doctor right away."

Gao Zhanming finally calmed her down, and quickly escaped from her yard.

Gao Zhanming returned to the room, called for hot water, and jumped into the bathtub.After being steamed by hot water, he felt much more comfortable, and was drowsy when he heard someone knocking on the door outside.

Gao Zhanming said, "Come in."

Yin He pushed the door and walked in, holding a bright yellow post in his hand.

As soon as Gao Zhanming saw the things in his hand, his head felt dizzy again.

Yinhe said: "Master, the queen mother heard that you are back, and summoned you to enter the palace immediately..."

Gao Zhanming thumped his forehead: "It really doesn't let people rest for a moment." He just returned to Beijing, and troubles came one after another.At this moment, he really hoped that someone could stand in his way, and immediately missed Li Jingruo terribly.

He sighed heavily and said, "Come and help me get dressed."
