A few days later, You Miao's mind became clearer, drinking the ginseng soup, recalling the scene when Li Yan and Zhao Chao came to see him that night, and he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, secretly thinking that it was dangerous and dangerous.
This time in the palace exam, You Miao didn't know whether he was dazzled by the sun, or whether he wrote such a strategy on impulse! It's just plain looking for death! Unexpectedly, however, such a content was slanted in the right direction, and both sides agreed.
What does Li Yan want? Don't you just want someone who can distance himself from Li Dang, be a censor and dare to say anything? His own strategy not only scolded Li Dang, but also scolded the emperor, Li Yan would only think that he wrote it on purpose, and would not doubt him at all.
What does Zhao Chao want? It's not that someone helped him speak in front of his father... The more You Miao thought about it, the more fortunate it was, that day in the hall examination hall, his head was dizzy. It was really a sign of prosperous official luck. Thinking of it this way, even I couldn't help but admire my good luck.
On the day of the palace test, the examiner came to the door in person and came to read it with the imperial list.
"The imperial pen hand-picked-"
"People from Pei County in Liuzhou, You Miao You Ziqian, father You Dechuan, mother Qiao Shi-"
"Tanhualang, one of the best! God's grace!"
You Miao was stunned, and with a slam, the entire Guozi School was fried. The students rushed to tell each other, and countless people rushed to the secluded courtyard, rushing to catch a glimpse of Tanhua's demeanor. The examiner smiled and said, "Thank you soon!"
You Miao hurriedly recovered herself and knelt down to thank him.
The examiner shook off another yellow list and read: "Yangzhou Anlu person, Zhang Wenhan, with the word Mohuai, bestowed with the same jinshi, the top three, and received the grace of God..."
Zhang Wenhan's eyes were red and trembling, like a dream, he hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, with tears in his eyes, crying: "Father! Mother! Have you ever seen Zhang Erzhong as a jinshi!"
You Miao couldn't believe it, he was the third flower? ! Second place in the champion list, third place in the top one, one of the top three in the top three, what does this mean? ! The Son of Heaven had read his article, and he was hand-picked by the imperial pen, calling him the third flower!
"Congratulations, young master! Congrats, young master!" Cheng Guangwu was so excited that he was speechless, and told Yaoguang, "Quickly! Take silver coins as a reward!"
You Miao accepted the favor list, and the examiner said, "Tonight on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, Your Majesty will hold a banquet in the Imperial Garden. Remember to enter the palace when you are there. Someone will come to pick you up."
You Miao bowed and said, "Remember in the late life."
The examiner glanced at You Miao again, and said, "I won't be happy if I get it, but I won't be sad if I lose it. I'm a talented person, and I'm worthy of a great job!" Then he patted You Miao on the shoulder and went back to resume his life.
Zhang Wenhan muttered to himself, still dreamily excited, but You Miao looked sad, returned to the room, and sighed.
"Tanhua Lang." You Miao suddenly realized that there seemed to be nothing to be happy about, and she didn't have any support in her heart.
Cheng Guangwu came in with a smile and said, "Young master! Our family can count!"
You Miao was disturbed by a group of people outside, and she had a headache, and said, "Okay, okay, let's go out, let me be quiet for a while."
Cheng Guangwu said: "Young master is not happy? I have to change clothes quickly, go to burn incense and take a bath, and I will go to the palace for a banquet at night!"
You Miao threw the imperial list to the side and shouted, "Yaoguang! Yaoguang! Come in for me!"
Yaoguang was giving out money to the students of Taiyuan. For a time, the secluded courtyard was crowded, and there was an endless stream of visitors. Even the people nearby came to see Tanhualang when they heard the news, and asked for a few rewards. Yaoguang heard You Miao's voice carrying a message. Angrily, he turned around and came in, not daring to speak.
You Miao slammed the door hard, and the people outside were startled. Hearing Tan Hua scolding people in the room, You Miao said angrily: "Go out now, ride your horse back to the villa, and tell Li Zhifeng! If you don't come back, I will be in the capital again. Just buy someone! I said that I will arrive before the palace exam, what does this look like?!"
You Miao suddenly felt that she was in a daze. What did you do with such a big fire
Yaoguang was also taken aback and didn't dare to answer. You Miao smiled bitterly again: "Forget it, forget it, treat it like I didn't say it."
You Miao finally said what he was thinking, and he was relieved. In fact, he was not angry that Li Zhifeng didn't come, but that he didn't take himself to heart.
He has done well enough, and he will do whatever he tells him to do. Besides, when he goes back to the villa, he is doing things according to what You Miao said. Although Li Zhifeng thinks all about him, he lives for You Miao. There is no reason to put such a person tossed to death, but You Miao felt uncomfortable and sad in her heart. It wasn't because Li Zhifeng couldn't come, although he wasn't wrong either.
"Go, buy lemongrass." You Miao said, "Boil water, sweat all over, wash and change clothes. Who of you two will follow me into the palace?"
Yaoguang and Cheng Guangwu exchanged glances, Cheng Guangwu shook his head slightly, Yaoguang seemed a little hesitant to speak, but was stopped by Cheng Guangwu.
You Miao immediately noticed this slight change and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Yaoguang said, "Young master..."
Cheng Guangwu frowned and said, "Yaoguang, go and boil the water."
You Miao said, "You said that before leaving, what did you want to say?"
After hesitating for a moment, Yaoguang said, "It's not that Li Zhifeng... It's not that he didn't put the young master at ease, but he fell off the cliff when he was flooded last time..."
It was only after Yaoguang raised his head that You Miao was stunned.
"… Broken my leg," Flushlight said.
When the daylight shone into the dimly lit room, You Miao just sat there blankly.
Zhang Wenhan wiped away his tears, accepted the congratulations from the students in the courtyard, and nodded frequently.
After a long while, I heard You Miao wow in the room and burst into tears.
Everyone immediately looked at each other in dismay, and Dudao Tanhualang was really capable.
Don't cry when you accept the order.
Do not cry when you are congratulated.
When I went back, I closed the door and cried by myself, talent!
That afternoon, You Miao closed her eyes and lay exhausted in the hot water with her hair loose and immersed in the water.
Yaoguang trimmed You Miao's hair and said, "Li Zhifeng said, don't let the young master be disturbed, and he will come to Beijing as soon as his legs are healed."
You Miao said: "You can go back later and tell him to keep him at home. I will go back early tomorrow morning."
Yaoguang said: "Young master, my uncle and he were afraid that you would be in a hurry to go back, so I kept it a secret. If you go back now, my legs will not be able to be saved."
You Miao was simply laughing and laughing, and slapped the fluke with a head of water.
Yaoguang smiled rarely, bowed and nodded, and backed out, Cheng Guangwu came in to serve and rub his back.
You Miao said: "Tell Yaoguang to come in! I haven't finished asking yet!"
Cheng Guangwu said with a sad face, "Master."
You Miao said impatiently, "What's wrong?"
Cheng Guangwu said: "I only brought four sets of clothes at home, two sets were washed, and two were casual clothes. It's too late to do it now, or go to the store to buy ready-to-wear?"
You Miao said: "Wear it casually, why are you so particular about it?"
It was already crazy busy outside. After Zhang Wenhan and Yaoguang regained their senses, they realized that You Miao was going to enter the palace for a banquet today! The clothes that Jiangbo Villa brought were simply not enough to look at. It's too late to do it now. You Miao himself knew the cost of food and clothing, but when he came to the capital, he didn't put his mind on it, so he ordered: "You can wear whatever you want, and the coarse cloth robe can be worn on it. If you are afraid of it, you may go to the emperor and praise it. I will live frugally."
After a while, someone came outside, but it was the eldest servant in the family, Chang Yuan, chatting with Yaoguang in a low voice under the porch, You Miao said, "Chang Yuan? Come in."
Chang Yuan came in with a smile and said, "Congratulations to the young master, Hexi young master, Uncle Qiao guessed that the young master must be inscribed on the Golden List, and I was afraid that the young master would have a place to spend money, so he asked me to rush over eight hundred miles to give the young master silver. Tickets are here."
You Miao said, "What happened to Li Zhifeng's legs? Tell me honestly, or you will be sent to the army."
Chang Yuan's smile froze, and You Miao said again, "I'm afraid he asked you to come to the capital, so please stabilize me first, right?"
You Miao was only confused before, but now that she has a clear mind, she can turn faster than anyone else, and she guessed it perfectly. Chang Yuan hurriedly said: "The butler's legs are fine, but he can't ride a horse. I wanted to come over by carriage. But thinking about coming here will also make the young master worry, it's better to keep it at home and come back."
You Miao asked Chang Yuan carefully, how did Li Zhifeng fall, and where was the injury? clothing. Chang Yuan respectfully presented a letter and three thousand taels of silver notes.
You Miao said coldly, "The three thousand taels came from my uncle? I'm afraid it was from my cheap old man."
Chang Yuan hurriedly said: "Young master is wise, there are 2,000 taels in it, and it was indeed sent to our village by Biyu Villa. My uncle said that it is not necessary for nothing, so he sent it with me."
You Miao didn't even look at the bank note, her eyes turned red, and she shook open the letter from Li Zhifeng. It was the night of Qixi Festival. You Miao wrote a few words and sent it. Li Zhifeng replied after reading it.
In the reply was a poem - "Dengke" by Meng Jiao.
"In the past, the filth was not enough to boast, but now the debauchery is boundless. The spring breeze is proud of the horse's hoof, and I can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day."
