In the past few days, Cui Wenqing has nothing to do, and Zhi Zhao has to deal with military affairs in the big tent of the Chinese army, so he also stayed in the Zhenwu army.

said that there was nothing to do, but naturally there was no half-point fraud.

Every day, Cui Wenqing slept until three o'clock in the morning before waking up, and then dressed and had breakfast slowly, and then went out of the tent to hang out.

Or watch the training of soldiers in the military camp and school, or watch the warriors fight in the martial arts field, or stay bored in the Chinese army tent, and by the way, take a peek at the beautiful lady of the governor, and live a happy life.

Today, I couldn't bear it anymore after enduring him for a few days, put down the brush in my hand, stroked my forehead and said with a headache: "Husband, are you very leisurely all day?" ”

As if sensing that Zhi Zhao still had something to say, Cui Wenqing shook his head with a smile and said, "No, I'm busy." ”

"Busy? How busy you can be! Looking at the empty long case in front of him, he was angry and laughed.

Hearing this, Cui Wenqing suddenly became a little embarrassed, and in Zhi Zhao's inquiring eyes, he pretended to be shy and said: "Lady, you are so beautiful, of course I am busy peeking at you." ”

"You...... This scoundrel! Zhi Zhao smiled and scolded, but for some reason, when he heard his words, he was very useful in his heart, and he had a sense of pride in being a woman.

Since Cui Wenqing and Zhe Zhao talked freely on the hill outside the barracks that day and sat flat shoulder to shoulder until the night, the relationship between the two has obviously improved a lot.

At least after Cui Wenqing occasionally said such implicit frivolous words, Zhi Zhao would no longer be as angry as before, at most, he would scold him as a scoundrel like now.

Thinking that he, a civilian scholar with no power, can sit in the barracks and tease the beautiful female general leisurely, such a day is really comfortable, if it can continue like this, how good it would be.

Seeing Cui Wenqing's leisure, she suddenly thought of a very important question, and hesitated, as if she was afraid that it would hurt Cui Wenqing's self-esteem, but she still couldn't help asking: "Husband, I don't know if you have ever thought about re-taking the imperial examination?" ”

"Entrance examination?" Cui Wenqing was really stunned, to be honest, he had never thought about this question, and when he heard Zhe Zhao ask, he was naturally a little confused.

Zhi Zhao sighed lightly, put the brush in his hand on the pen holder, closed the document he was browsing, put on a look of wanting to talk for a long time, and asked with a serious face: "Yes, haven't you ever thought about this question?" ”

Cui Wenqing scratched his scalp, his brows were also furrowed, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zhe Zhao naturally saw that he was avoiding answering, muttered for a while, and said softly: "Actually, it's not that I care about this matter, I just think that with a great talent like you, if you are only a son-in-law who eats and drinks in Zhefu in this life, it is really a pity, and it is even more tyrannical, I remember that when Su Shi left Fuzhou that day, he once said to me that Lingfu Wenqing is talented, superb, and famous, at that time, I was thinking, is it because of me, so as to delay the great cause of your imperial examination." ”

Cui Wenqing knew that there was no way to avoid it, and said with a smile: "Lady, in fact, I understand what you said, but I lost the imperial examination last year." ”

"What's the matter if you lose!" Zhe Zhao frowned, and his lines seemed a little bright, "Except for those talented demons in the literary world, almost every Jinshi has had at least one failure experience, even the famous Mr. Xiwen, the first imperial examination was not passed, and it was not until the second year of the re-examination that he got what he wanted." ”

Cui Wenqing was speechless, and said with a wry smile: "Listen to what you mean, lady, do you want me to retake the imperial examination?" ”

"yes, that's what I meant." Zhi Zhaozhen nodded solemnly, and said unabashedly, "Husband, to tell you the truth, although you are the son-in-law of the Zhe family, but in the eyes of others, you are abandoning your husband and joining the low status of the women's family, especially when the women's family is still so strong, others will have a lot of criticism of you. ”

Cui Wenqing yawned and shook his hand and said, "Lady, my motto is to go your own way and let the pen say it." If you can live happily in your next life, why do you need to pursue things that you don't like because you care about what others think? ”

Although Zhi Zhao didn't know what the pen in his mouth was, it was not difficult to guess that it must be a scolding in the market, and he secretly laughed dumbly, but he still couldn't help but say with a small face: "But if you don't take the imperial examination, how can you realize your own value, husband?" So that the eyebrows are raised? ”

Hearing this, Cui Wenqing restrained his initial indifference, became a little serious, and asked: "Lady, if I can get the imperial examination, how many do you think it should be?" ”

Seeing that he suddenly became so serious, Zhi Zhao was very pleased, thought about it and frowned and said: "With your current talent and ability, it is really too difficult to get three people from the first class, and if you work hard, you should be able to reach the second class." ”

"Then dare to ask the lady, how to be an official after the first choice of the second class?"

"According to the practice of the imperial court, the preferred period must be at least one year, and in one year, the second class Jinshi is mostly awarded the official position of the ninth grade, and goes to Lantai, Jiying Palace, Longtu Pavilion and other places to serve as orthography, and if you are lucky, you can also be a school scholar."

Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "As the saying goes, it is easy to be a high school scholar, but the official body of the ninth grade is still too low. ”

Zhi Zhaozheng said: "School Shulang is just the starting point of his career, do you think anyone will be as lucky as Su Shi and go directly to the Hanlin Academy to write articles for the officials?" Generally, after serving as a school secretary for seven or eight years, he can go to various ministries to serve in the yamen or be released as an official. ”

Cui Wenqing added with a smile: "Yes, when I am a school scholar for seven or eight years, I am almost twenty-five or sixteen years old, and then I can be a Bapin county minister, if I am lucky, I may struggle for another four or five years, and at the age of thirty I serve as the county commander, and then at the age of forty, I will know the state, and at the age of fifty, I will enter the sixth department to serve as a waiter or something, which is already a very fast speed, and then when others ask me about my family background, it can be said that the old man Cui Wenqing, the fourth grade of the squire, my lady is Zhao, and he is the governor of the Sanpin Zhenwu Army." Lady, even if I struggle all my life, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with you, so I don't struggle for the same. ”

After listening to the words, he was angry, and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "Cui Wenqing, you are really a scoundrel, are you so analogous?" ”

Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "In this comparison, under the premise that you have not been promoted for thirty years, if you enter the court and serve as a general and a high-ranking official in the privy council, then I will be even more hopeful." ”
