On the first day of June in the sixteenth year of Zhengde, at the north wharf of Chengbei County, Jiangxi, a large building ship docked on the shore, and the local officials and gentry in Jiangxi gathered, because the county's celebrity Fei Ge Lao is going to Beijing today to be reinstated, and Fei Ge Lao's brother Fei Cai is also reinstated, and the official Fu Hanlin is revised.

A few days ago, the palace test gold list has been sent to Nanchang through the post road express horse, and the Jiangxi political secretary immediately sent people to Zhang Bang to various prefectures and counties, so Fei Maozhong's list and the first (edited by the official Hanlin), as well as the news of Xu Jin Tanhua and the first (edited by the official Hanlin) have caused a sensation in Leadshan County.

In this way, there are three officials in the Fei family, one elder, two Hanlin, plus Xu Jin's protégé, there are three Hanlin. With such a luxurious lineup, tsk, there is no one else, and it is an honor to be a fellow countryman. Therefore, at this time, all over the county, gentry and businessmen with a bit of face came to see them off, and the wharf was crowded with people.

Fei Hong and Fei Cai stood on the dock and smiled and waved goodbye to the officials and gentry who saw them off, and then boarded the boat.

In fact, the emperor's edict of repetition arrived in mid-May, but Fei Hong had to deal with some trivial matters, and there were many things to prepare for the family trip, so it was delayed until early June.

The boat left the wharf, sailed downstream along the Xinjiang River, went straight to Poyang Lake, then turned to the Yangtze River, went down the river to Yangzhou, and then went north to Tongzhou from the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and it is estimated that it will arrive in Beijing in July.

At this time, on the second floor of the ship, all the female relatives of the Fei family gathered here, sitting around the Yuan family chatting and smiling, one by one beaming, the old man and the third old man were reinstated, and the second young master was ranked first, can you not be happy? The old lady Yuan was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and she always had a smile on her face.

Fei Ruyi was dressed in a snow-white Luo skirt, sitting quietly and listening to everyone's chat, sometimes pursing her lips and chuckling, her pretty face that was blown up was happy and disgusting, better looking better than two years ago, she is nearly nineteen years old this year, she is a young girl who blooms in bloom, and her beauty has reached a new height.

Fei Jixiang is dressed in a goose-yellow Luo skirt, with picturesque eyebrows, sitting on the side of her sister Fei Ruyi, like two lotus flowers blooming side by side, she is seventeen years old this year, a girl in the flower season!

Fei Xiaoyu, the little pepper, is dressed in a pink palace dress, the fifteen-year-old girl has begun to pull out the lines, the same delicate eyebrows, the three girls sit side by side, making people feel like they are getting charming, and they have to sigh that the genes of the old Fei family are strong.

Stepmother Zhao is fat again, her face is a lot rounder, and while swallowing melon seeds, she ponders that when she arrives in the capital, she has to quickly remind Xu Jin that kid to propose marriage.

The Zhao family was greedy for profit, and looked down on Xu Jin as a poor scholar before, and in order to make a lot of money on the dowry, he insisted on giving Ruyi to the big tea merchant Fang's family, but was later picked up by the Yuan family before stopping.

At this time, the Zhao family wished that Xu Jin would hurry up to the door to propose, and now Xu Jin Tanhua and the first, was awarded the official Hanlin Revision, less than eighteen years old from the Sixth Rank Official, and also known as the "Rocket Cadre" Hanlin Revision, idiots know that his future is limitless. Coupled with the relationship between Xu Jin and the person on the dragon chair, it is even more incredible. Therefore, the Zhao family is now worried that Xu Jin will change his hexagram.

……

Compiling books and revising history is undoubtedly a long-term and boring thing, but for Qinggui Hanlin, who is a professional penman, this is a glorious job that will be left behind for future generations, and not everyone is qualified to do it, including the newcomer Xu Jin.

Since coming to the Hanlin Academy on the first day of June, Xu Jin has officially "worked" for five days, and found that there is actually no difference between this place and the public institutions of later generations.

If Yang Tinghe, the head of the cabinet, is the editor-in-chief of "Wuzong Shilu" (nominally does not work), then the old Hanlin who took the lead in the work is the editor-in-chief, and several other middle-aged Hanlin are the editors-in-charge, and Xu Jin is the rookie who is responsible for doing chores.

Therefore, Xu Jin's work in the Hanlin Academy these days is very leisurely, at best, he helps to move some classics, clean up the manuscripts, and then helps catch insects (catch other words), basically go to work on time, and then get off work at the point.

……

June 15, Closed Day. Although it was still early in the morning, the rising sun had already begun to radiate its heat, and the cicadas, which had eaten enough of the leaf juice and dew, were probably panicking, so they made a loud noise.

At this time, in the private room on the second floor of the Four Seasons Building of Ming Shifang, there was a sound like the sound of the spring water, and the babbling song immediately sounded: "Weicheng is light and dusty towards Yuyi, and the guest house is green and willow-colored." Persuade you to drink a glass of wine, and there is no one to ...... in Yangguan in the west."

In the private room, Xu Jin, Fei Maozhong, Wei Yang, Huang Dacan, and Jiang Yun sat around.

Su Xiaoxiao, the red card of Shifang Pavilion, with delicate eyebrows, a yellow skirt and a slender waist, a slender figure, and a full chest, is sitting in front of a guqin at the moment, while playing and singing the famous farewell poem "Weicheng Song" by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei, and his eyes are looking at the senior brother Wei Yang in the seat with affection.

Su Xiaoxiao drank the song, Xu Jin and the others applauded, the former stood up and walked to the table, poured a glass of wine for all five people present, and then sat down in the seat next to Wei Yang, picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "The little woman is ugly, I salute Shaoyun Gongzi here, and I wish Shaoyun Gongzi a smooth sailing and a bright future." ”

Huang Dacan hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you little girl!" After speaking, he raised his glass and drank it all.

Fei Maozhong picked up his wine glass and said with emotion: "Shaoyun, if you say goodbye today, I don't know when we will be able to meet." Here, toast this one. Don't worry about the road ahead, no one in the world knows you. ”

Xu Jin also raised his glass and chanted loudly: "Classmate Cha is a young man, in his prime, scholarly spirit, scolding Fang Xuan, pointing out the country, inspiring words, and dung was the marquis of ten thousand households back then." When I wait for him to get together, it will be the time when Brother Shaoyun rides the wind and clouds. Come, do this toast, congratulations to Huang Shaoyun! ”

Everyone applauded, raised their glasses and drank them all, Huang Dacan looked excited, blushed and chanted loudly: "Just a young student, in his prime, scholarly spirit, scolding Fang Xuan, pointing out the country, inspiring words, dung was the marquis of ten thousand households. Okay, Ziqian's sentence is refreshing. Shaoyun would like to thank you for your blessings in the same year. ”

A few days ago, the appointment of the Ministry of Officials had come down, and Huang Dacan was sent to Suzhou, Shaanxi Province to serve as a judge (from Qipin), where it was the bitter cold land on the border of the Ming Dynasty, and the conditions were difficult for sure.

It is worth mentioning here that Suzhou is the border town of the Ming Dynasty, the northeast of Suzhou is the Hetao Plain occupied by the Tatars, and the northwest is the Hamiwei occupied by the Turbo, which is the frontier position pointed by the Yi soldiers, not only the conditions are difficult, but also quite dangerous.

Huang Dacan's palace examination results are in the middle and lower reaches of the top three, and he was born in Jinshi, plus he was originally born in cloth clothes and had no connections in the court, so he was arranged by the Ministry of Officials to serve in that kind of place with difficult conditions, and the position was not high, only from the seventh grade.

Originally, Huang Dacan could have resigned, and it was a big deal to wait for a vacancy in the ministry, but he resolutely accepted the appointment of the ministry, and his fellow villagers in Jiangxi lamented that Huang Shaoyun was too honest and suffered.

However, Xu Jin knew that Huang Shaoyun was certainly thick, but he was also a showy, tenacious, and down-to-earth person. Let's see, from the government examination to the palace examination, Huang Dacan's results are not outstanding, they all belong to a group of middle and lower reaches, but people are stunned to kill all the way to the palace examination, and finally pass the imperial examination, and many people who were once ranked above him have collapsed halfway, for example, Jiang Yun, who is sitting there, is one of them.

Therefore, people like Huang Dacan have the potential to do great things, although it is difficult and dangerous to Suzhou, but the crisis is dangerous. If you can seize the opportunity, you will definitely be able to soar to the Nine Heavens. Losing at the starting line, it is natural to work ten times and a hundred times harder than others to catch up, and Huang Dacan obviously chose a path of hard struggle.

Looking at the high-spirited Huang Dacan, Jiang Yun's mood was quite bitter, he failed in the current subject exam, but due to the long distance, he did not return to Jiangxi, but continued to stay in the capital to review, waiting for the next subject exam to start. Today, Xu Jin held a banquet to bid farewell to Huang Dacan and his senior brother Wei Yang, who were also classmates of Xinjiang Academy, and he was also invited.

"Little aunt, Wei Yuanzheng is also ready to take up his post, you don't respect him!" Jiang Yunqiang said with a smile.

Su Xiaoxiaomei glanced at Wei Yang on the side, and said with a little resentment: "The place where Wei Gongzi went to work is the land of Jiangnan fat powder, and the beauties are like clouds, I'm afraid that he will forget the slave family in a few days, and the slave family won't give him a toast!" ”

Wei Yang's handsome face turned red with embarrassment, and he picked up the wine glass and said, "Then Wei Yang salutes the little girl." ”

At last year's Shangyuan Festival Spring Festival, Weiyang won Su Xiaoxiao's wreath when he broke through the pass, and stayed in the Xiangshan Courtyard that night, so the two had already had in-depth exchanges. Recently, due to the obstruction of marriage, Wei Yang is depressed, and he often goes to Shifang Pavilion to find Su Xiaoxiao to "communicate", so the two are now very familiar, it is said that Su Xiaoxiao still has the intention of being good, but with Wei Yang's family background, it seems unlikely that he will marry a dusty woman as a concubine.

The farewell wine was drunk until almost noon, Huang Dacan waved goodbye to everyone, and got into a carriage and went out of the city to Tongzhou. The officials gave him a three-month vacation to visit relatives in his hometown in Jiangxi, and then he had to leave for Suzhou to take up his post.

Looking at Huang Dacan, who left in high spirits, Wei Yang couldn't help but sigh: "Sometimes I really envy Huang Shaoyun, who was born in cloth clothes, has no family, and comes and goes freely." ”

Xu Jin glanced at Wei Yang, who was not in a high mood, and frowned secretly, it seems that the senior brother has not yet come out of the state of "broken love", but it is not good for outsiders to interfere too much in emotional matters. What's more, the marriage between the Wei family and the Fei family fell through, and it seems that it is also related to him, so Xu Jin is even more difficult to say anything, let everything be natural!
