Thanks to Tang Feng for the reward. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Half of Du Shao's buttocks were on the chair, and his hand holding the dishes and chopsticks kept shaking, and he couldn't stop at all. He felt that he was dreaming, it must be the ancestral tomb that was smoking, otherwise how could he sit at the same table with Cheng Chengxiang for dinner? Even if it's just the simplest white porridge side dish.

I usually eat this for breakfast, but when this kind of food is served to Cheng Mo's table, it is suddenly different, and the simple white porridge is also worth double.

Cheng Mo stopped his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Du Yicheng, the bowl is leaking." ”

"Ah......" Du Shao found that his hands were wet, exclaimed, put down the dishes and chopsticks and quickly got up to plead guilty. He was so excited that he didn't serve the bowl properly, the bowl was crooked, and the porridge was poured out, and all the drips were on his hands.

Yang Chang took a big bite of porridge, and soon a bowl of porridge bottomed out, and just about to thank him and put down the dishes and chopsticks, just Du Shao made a fool of himself, and quickly got up and saluted, saying: "Du Yi Cheng saw that the prime minister was powerful, and it was inevitable that he would be worried, so that he behaved unruly, and please don't blame the prime minister." ”

Du Shao was so scared, Cheng Mo didn't have to punish him, as long as he didn't like it in his heart, his future would be ruined, and Yi Cheng would definitely not be able to do it.

Cheng Mo didn't have a trace of gloom, helped Du Shao up with a smile, and said to Yang Chang: "I'm joking with Du Yicheng, hurry up and eat, the porridge is about to be cold." ”

Du Shao was so moved that he almost cried, poured the remaining half of the bowl of porridge into his mouth, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and said, "The prime minister is generous, and the officials are grateful." ”

Yang Chang secretly made up his mind that he must write to his brother about today's incident, Cheng Moshi is a rare good prime minister.

How could Cheng Mo lower his price and worry about the little Yicheng? The difference between the official positions of the two is 108,000 miles, and Du Shao's behavior in front of him is also reasonable, but it is Yang Chang, a gentry, who looks as usual in front of him, which is really difficult.

After the bowl and chopsticks were removed, Cheng Mo said: "Last night, Du Yicheng asked for a piece of calligraphy, but I am not good at calligraphy, so I did not agree. Mr. Yang and Du Yicheng arrived, but it was still for Mobao? ”

Yang Chang said: "The prime minister is quick to talk. The prime minister's voice is as powerful as the sky, we are looking up for a long time, I didn't expect that today's nobles set foot in Hongnong, it is really the joy of Hongnong, Du Yicheng and the old decay intersect with chess, and the old decay thus prophetic news. My brother is a doctor in the court, and the prime minister must have heard the name of his brother Yang Ziming, and he admired the name of the prime minister, and asked to see the prime minister in the name of his brother, and asked the prime minister not to blame. ”

Who doesn't have relatives and friends, when Yang Chang asked to see him, he reported Yang Chang's name. He said that he admired Cheng Mo, so he asked to see Yang Chang in the name of being an official in Beijing, not for Du Shao's calligraphy and painting.

Cheng Mo said: "Yang Yushi has an excellent character and is a kind elder. ”

This is a very high evaluation of Yang Chang, which shows that the political views of the two are not different. Yang Chang put his heart back in his stomach and said, "The old brother Xie Cheng is very loving. ”

Cheng Mo is young, but he is in a high position, Yang Chang is only a doctor of the imperial history now, and his official position is still a big gap compared to Cheng Mo, if Cheng Mo is annoyed, he wants to find trouble with Yang Chang, but it is just a matter of words.

Yang Chang rushed to ask for a meeting without waiting for Yang Chang's reply, which was very abrupt and took great risks. He heard Du Shao say that Cheng Mo was just passing through here, and if he waited for Yang Chang to reply, he was afraid that he would miss the opportunity to see Cheng Mo, so he hurried over.

There are many officials in Beijing, with Yang Chang's official position, he went to Cheng Mo's mansion to ask for a meeting, but Cheng Mo didn't see him and said two things. Now Cheng Mo is passing by Hongnong, Yang Chang is asking to see him as a gentry, Cheng Mo is not good to see, so it is helpful for Yang Chang's career.

has a friendship with breakfast, and when Cheng Mo returns to Beijing, Yang Chang can turn around and make friends with Cheng Mo on the grounds that his brother Yang Chang was received by Cheng Mo. I have to say that Yang Chang is a human being, and he is fine.

How could Cheng Mo not understand his thoughts? He was willing to see Yang Chang, more to verify that this Yang is the other Yang, Yang Chang's branch, but in the future, he and the Yuan family will be listed as the Hongnong Yang family of the two major families?

Speaking of which, Yang Chang is the first ancestor of Hongnong Yang, and his reputation is not obvious in modern times, but Yang Meiren was born in Hongnong Yang, and the love story with Emperor Tang Ming is impressive. Otherwise, Cheng Mo would not have known anything about Yang Chang's origin.

Cheng Mo nodded and said to Du Shao: "If you have a talent for governing the world, or if your moral articles are incomparable, I can recommend you." ”

Du Shao is a post officer, even if he has entered the civil service, he can no longer participate in the imperial examination, Cheng Mo said this, it is already for Yang Chang's face, and he is seeking a career for him.

Liu Xun abolished the probation system and implemented the imperial examination system, Cheng Mo, as a privileged person, can still recommend a person.

The hospital examination has just been held this fall, the township examination will be held in February next year, and the general examination and the palace examination will be held in the capital next autumn. The time period of the first imperial examination is one year, which is to take into account the traffic conditions, from the place of residence to the provincial capital, the capital is a long distance, riding a horse and a car, it takes many days.

Du Shao was very disappointed and frustrated when he heard Cheng Mo personally say that he would not write for him, but then Cheng Mo said that he could recommend him, which is something that many children of the family dare not think of.

Du Shao thought that he had heard it wrong, and said to Ai Ai: "What did the prime minister say?" ”

Yang Chang squinted with a smile and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, Du Youlan is stupid with joy." The prime minister learned that Du Youlan was extremely talented in arithmetic, and no matter how complex the number was, as long as he said it once, he could calculate it clearly. ”

"Oh?"

Cheng Mo ordered someone to take a pen and paper, wrote a few sets of numbers, and compared Du Shao. As soon as Cheng Mo finished talking about the numbers, Du Shao reported the answer. Yang Chang was dialing the abacus beads next to him, much slower than him. Several sets of numbers are counted as good scores.

Cheng Mo immediately wrote a letter recommending him to go to Wu Yuan, the chief farmer, and Wu Yuan arranged what to do.

From a small post to a Beijing official, it is really pie in the sky. Du Shao was so happy that he couldn't say a word, he fell to the ground, and secretly made up his mind to set up an immortal tablet for Cheng Mo at home.

Yang Chang didn't expect Cheng Mozhen to write a letter of recommendation. This "Mobao" is hard to buy, but it is much more valuable than a piece of calligraphy. He thanked him without saying anything.

After such a delay, it was already past noon, and Cheng Mo said: "We should go, we will have to stay here for one more day if it is too late." ”

Du Shao said sincerely: "The prime minister's kindness, the lower officials have nothing to repay, and I also ask the prime minister to stay for two more days, so that the lower officials can entertain them." ”

Yang Chang also said: "Hongnong has a few places with good scenery, if the prime minister does not dislike it, please stay for two more days and have a look." ”

Cheng Mo refused with a smile, Hongnong does have a few places with good scenery, but the girls are bent on seeing the sea, how can they be in the mood to play slowly? They can't wait to fly their wings and rush to Donghai County.

Yang Chang and Du Shao were very regretful, and stood aside to watch the slave carry the cage and get into the car.

Cheng Mo walked out of the post station, only to see a large group of people outside the door, most of them were white-bearded old men, and a trembling old man stepped forward with a cane and said, "May I ask which one is Prime Minister Cheng?" ”
