What is the big thing in Beijing, Gao Pragmatic has always been able to get the news, Gao Mo has this in the work of the Beijing Division, but because Gao Pragmatic is on the journey, this time the news was delayed a little, and the messenger and Gao Pragmatic missed a section of the road before they found out, and when they caught up with Gao Pragmatic, he had already arrived in Xinzheng.

Longwen Yayuan has been improved in regulation since it was changed to the champion, and the Zhang family has a good face and a heavy family, so naturally everything that should be added has to be added.

Some decorations will not be detailed, in the absence of Gao pragmatic for most of the year, the most obvious change is the new construction of a Kuixing Tower.

Kuixing Tower is also called the Champion Tower, which is the glory exclusive to the champion, but the shape of the tower is not much different from the ordinary tower, but the tower of the Gao family is a bit big.

Gao pragmatic took a look at the tower, estimated that the tower has to be more than ten zhang high, and the location is very conspicuous, the south of the Shuangye River, the Yinghe River is facing the county seat of Xinzheng, presumably in the north of the county, the first glance can see him this champion tower, it is really ...... High.

This champion tower is tall and majestic, and the shape is beautiful. The uppermost layer is inlaid with the stone carving plaque of "Wenyun Open Heaven" on the south side, in the three windows of the fifth layer of the tower body, there are the characters of the legendary stories such as the stone carving "pointing to the rising sun", "Kui Xing Dian Fighting", "Heavenly Official Blessing", etc., vividly.

Among them, the stone carving auspicious pattern "Kui Xing Dian Dou" is the form of the ideographic text, there is a Kui Star on the picture, the head of the Kui Xing God is like a ghost, one foot is cocked backwards, such as the big hook of the word "Kui", the left hand holds the ink bucket, such as the "Kui" word in the middle of the word "Dou", the right hand holds the pen, stands on the top of the head with one foot, which means that the name of the person who is tested with a pen, this character image also forms a cursive "Kui" word, take the meaning of Kui Xing Dian Dou, the meaning of the single point of Aotou, the image is vivid, and the spelling is ingenious.

The so-called "Kui Xing" is the first four stars in the Big Dipper, namely Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, the general name of Tianquan, the main literary movement, the article, in the imperial examination, the Gao Di is called "winning the championship", "the leader", Gao pragmatic is the champion, and is the six champions, the emperor hand-picked "two hundred years of the real leader", is to Zhang on the image of the word "Kui" is very thoughtful.

The body of this tower is embedded with two big characters of "cherish the word" carved by bluestone yang, which means literally, which means to cherish words.

The ancients believed that writing was sacred and sublime, created by saints, and that even if it was only paper on which the words were written, it should not be discarded or defaced at will, and it must be burned in the tower. Therefore, "respecting the word paper" can be regarded as a symbol of the pursuit of reading and entering the profession at the time.

It can be seen that Zhang's is quite satisfied with the glory that Gao Shishi's son has brought her.

But the more she felt that her son was glorious, the harder it was for Gao to convince her.

Under the small pavilion not far from the Zhuangyuan Tower, Gao Pragmatic stood beside his mother Zhang, who was sitting on a rosewood chair, squinting slightly, and didn't know whether he was asleep or awake, but he should be listening to Gao Pragmatic slowly tell about his experience in Annan.

There are not many people who can make Gao pragmatic "punishment station", but Zhang's obviously can, let alone punish the station, even if it is punished for kneeling, there is no argument.

Fortunately, although Gao Pragmatic does not know any "martial arts", he is always a person who maintains moderate exercise, and he will not be unable to stand up. He spoke slowly, from afternoon to dusk.

Zhang occasionally asked a little detail, but generally just listened silently, except for when Gao Shishi and Huang Zhiting were sucked into the underground river by the undercurrent at the bottom of the pool, it was obvious that Zhang's gently put hand suddenly grabbed a handrail, her expression was basically relaxed.

The clouds go east, and the sun sets in the west. Gao Pragmatism finally finished speaking.

It was summer, the sky was still bright, and Zhang was not in a hurry to go back to the room, but just got up and walked out of the pavilion slowly, and Gao pragmatic followed closely.

The maids still watched from afar, and did not dare to come without an order.

Zhang walked on the courtyard wall like a city wall, looked at the water of the Shuangye River, and said slowly: "It sounds like this girl is not bad, but she is from a toast background, and she is now a toast, and she can even lead troops to fight. ”

Gao pragmatically replied calmly: "It depends on who is right." ”

Zhang couldn't help laughing and teased: "You mean, it's still tame to you?" ”

"Sort of." Gao Pragmatic was quite polite, but it sounded like a normal answer, and there was no smugness in his tone.

Zhang glanced at his son in some surprise, sighed, and said, "You talk so much to your mother, do you think you want to marry her?" ”

"Yes."

"If it's just a concubine, even if she has an order, she can promise you as a mother." Zhang sighed again: "But marrying a wife is not that simple. ”

"My mother doesn't agree?"

"It's not the most important thing that I disagree...... Have you ever asked your father what he meant? Zhang shook his head: "Don't think that your father is ignoring you, he has been very concerned about all the news about you over the years, but because of some things and some situations in the past, he has always had a hurdle in his heart, and he doesn't want to step or can't go over." ”

This is a new situation, Gao Pragmatic was a little puzzled, and asked, "What does my mother mean?" ”

"The third uncle was the wine of the country back then, and he knew a lot of examiners, and several examiners were his acquaintances, so he didn't want your father to refer to it, and as a result, he was ruined for nearly ten years...... But he is the eldest, and he has been taken care of the most by his third brother since he was a child, and he can't object, so he can only be unhappy, and his studies have been wasted a lot, and finally he can go to the exam, and the test of filial piety will be at the top. ”

Gao Pragmatic understood a little, it seems that although his father is a good brother, he doesn't feel that the third uncle is delaying his future, but he can't say it explicitly.

"So, what does my mother mean is that my father has some mischief for the third uncle, and in the past, when his son followed the third uncle into Beijing, he just watched coldly, and even thought that this was a disguised compensation given to him by the third uncle?"

"It may be, but it's not quite." Zhang shook his head slightly: "His thoughts may be more complicated, but he refuses to say, who knows what he thinks?" But in any case, he must have high hopes for you, and Wei Niang can guarantee this - he wants to see you reach heights that he has no chance of reaching, so as to ...... Prove something. ”

Gao Pragmatic has a bit of a headache, it sounds like his father pinned his ambitions on himself, so he hopes that he is the best in everything, and there is nothing to say about the exam, maybe he has a comparison mentality even now when he marries a wife.

Sure enough, Zhang sighed softly and said, "Your father and Weiniang got married at that time, and he didn't have any regrets in his heart, because your third aunt was born as an official eunuch, and Weiniang was just a businessman's family. Fortunately, your uncle fought for the Zhang family, which can be regarded as raising the Zhang family in Puzhou, and then your father slowly calmed down. ”

She turned her head to look at her son and showed a wry smile: "It's just wishful thinking that you value the family as a mother?" Alas...... Your mother and I have had enough of this hardship back then, if the door is not the right one, even if you marry into the door, you will suffer countless cold eyes and ridicule, have you ever thought about this for that yellow girl? ”

Gao was speechless, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zhang said again: "Now, do you know why Wei Niang moved out of Gao Laozhuang and spent such a large amount of money here to repair this Longwen Yayuan for you?" ”

Originally, I didn't know, but now I know, except for leaving a safe refuge for the Gao family, in case the people rise around, they will not be looted, etc., it seems that the more important thing is to breathe a sigh of relief - back then, you looked down on my six rooms, and now my son not only has money, but also the champion of the six heads!

Seeing that Gao was pragmatic and didn't answer, Zhang said: "Even if you say that after that Huang girl enters, she will probably rarely stay in Xinzheng's hometown, and she won't see a few family members." But won't you come back when you get married? Won't the ancestors come back? Even if I or your father is gone, you won't come back? You can only come back, but at that time, she is a woman who is used to making big toast, and she is coldly looked down upon and ridiculed in your house, have you thought about what will happen? ”

"Also, don't forget, when you were young, you were called a prodigy, and you were personally enlightened and taught by your uncle, and then you were valued by your third uncle, and even took to the capital and stayed by your side to give you personal guidance, so you didn't experience much cynicism. However, if you ask them about the concept of affairs and diligence, they do not have your reputation as a prodigy, and how much ridicule and ridicule they have received over the years, saying that they are 'the son of the Jia people, full of copper stench'...... The more money you make in Jingshi, the more sarcasm they will receive in Xinzheng! It's just that those people don't dare to say these things in front of you. ”

"The reason why you let Shi Qin go to Annan this time, because my mother did not object, is also a large part of the reason here. After all, Wuguan went to the third room, and now he is also an official, and he will go to Jingshi Shangbaosi to take office this year, so he can get rid of these. But none of them have been found, so it is also a relief for him to let him go to Annan. ”

Gao Pragmatic frowned and said, "Who said these words?" ”

"What if you ask clearly? If you have a mouth on someone's body, don't say it in front of you, and point fingers at you in private, what can you do? Even the emperor can't help the leisurely mouth of the people of the world, let alone you? Zhang sighed: "The origin is determined by heaven, but if you work harder, you can also change." It's just that sometimes I can't enjoy this change in my own life...... Maybe you boys can, just like your uncle, after he is in high school, who dares to laugh at him? But a woman like Wei Niang can't do it, having a brother like your uncle is already a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes...... That Yellow Girl's brother, do you think there is anyone who can enter high school? ”

Huang Zhiting's two younger brothers? Don't mention it, the eldest brother doesn't understand anything, he does stupid things, and he is just a dumb kid; The little brother is a little more honest, but he doesn't have any special strengths, even if he is a toast in the future, he is estimated to be a "master of success".

Counting on these two inductees? I might as well count on the Red River to flow backwards.
