It's the end of March in the blink of an eye

At this time, the spring is really full of the world, and the slightest chill is gone.

For Lu Gao, 10,000 people entering Jinling is a big deal, but for Jinling, it is a trivial matter, and the snow melts into the stream without a bubble and is digested.

Enke's time is quite tight, taking the Xiucai exam in March, the Juren exam in May, and the Jinshi exam in August.

Now the March Xiucai exam has been completed, but many of those who rushed to Jinling have the fame of Xiucai and even people, so there is not much noise in this time, everyone is studying in the inn, preparing for the May exam.

The scenery of Jinling is powdery, and countless people have forgotten to return, and it is extremely prosperous.

At this time, Wang Hongyi was enjoying the flowers.

By the end of March, the affairs that had occurred after the accession to the throne had been dealt with almost completely, and the operation of the cabinet had been lubricated, and gradually there was some free time.

In the palace, there is a peach blossom, at this time, thousands of peach trees are embellished into pink and snow-white flowers, dense layers, like a morning glow.

Wang Hongyi was taking a walk when he saw a peach tree not far away, the trunk was purple-red, and the soft branches were full of delicate bones.

Although he is appreciating, the state affairs are still going on, and Zhao Yuanjing is telling about it.

These things were reported by the Thirteen Divisions, but under normal circumstances, the Thirteen Divisions had to go through the Secret Literature Pavilion, so Zhao Yuanjing came to report it, and it was Lu Gao's matter.

Speaking of Lu Gao's family, they settled down in Jinling.

"Lu Gao gave the clansmen outside the five suits, declared naturalization, and distributed them to the surrounding five counties, basically all of them have arrangements, combined with the emperor's rules, they all have more than 30 acres, which is really a good family. ”

"There are eleven rooms in the five suits, all of which are divided, five of them are in Jinling, the other five have gone to other counties, and one even went to Jiaozhou. ”

Lu Gao himself has been closed for half a month, but since a few days ago, he will also go out occasionally. ”

Listening to this, Wang Hongyi smiled slightly, Lu Gao is smarter than he imagined, and it can be seen that the Lu family keeps it like this, and it will not be the emperor of Youzhou, but it will be able to spread out and prosper the family.

As for Lu Gao, he led 10,000 people in the old department, made a general, and the army was still reorganized in the military department, and Lu Gao did not interfere once, and was quite evasive.

However, the latest report attracted Wang Hongyi's attention.

"Oh, you met with Wu Xingzong?"

Lu Gao did travel today

The land of West Street is not a prosperous area of Jinling, but it is not remote, Lu Gao got into the carriage and said to the entourage: "Let's go around the city." ”

"Understood. The attendant answered, and with a "snap" of the whip in his hand, the carriage moved.

A few of his own soldiers got on their horses and followed the carriage left and right.

The carriage ran down the avenue.

I saw that the street was wide, and Jinling was known as "the place of the smoke and moon of the seven dynasties, and the place where gold powder gathered".

In the later period of Dayan, the capital was here, attracting merchants from all over the world.

Looking all the way, I saw shops, restaurants, hotels, guild halls, and shops emerging in an endless stream.

Especially after the opening of customs, the goods of Xiqin have appeared.

A Qinzhun River in the city meanders through, the aristocratic families and famous families all live on both sides, in fact, the Lu Mansion is also among them, the river is painted continuously, it can be called the Twenty Miles Flower River.

Walking all the way, enjoying several beautiful scenery of Jinling, Lu Gao secretly admired, until noon, when the entourage came up to ask, where to have lunch, he realized that it was noon.

"You don't have to go through too much trouble, just find a restaurant nearby. Lu Gao said casually.

The carriage soon stopped in front of a restaurant, Lu Gao lifted the curtain and looked, this is a big hotel, the location is good, built next to the lake, find a location on the second floor, I am afraid that you can look at the scenery from the window.

With this in mind, Lu Gao decided to go to the second floor.

When I entered the restaurant, I took a look and saw that the first floor was basically full.

There are not many people on the second floor, which is related to the price or status.

I stepped on the wooden ladder to the second floor, and when I walked in, the eyes of many people inside were cast.

Seeing that the person who came in was not special, everyone turned their eyes back.

Although he only threw and received, Lu Gao saw clearly, and on the second floor sat well-dressed and elegant scholars, in groups of three or five, who seemed to know each other, and were discussing in a low voice.

"The March trial has passed, and I heard that the list is out. ”

"How's the admission ratio?"

"It is said that 50,000 scholars participated, and 5,000 talents were admitted. ”

"Ten to one?

"Almost, it is estimated that there are about 500 lifters, plus 300 lifters the year before last, and there are some famous old Confucians who are exempted from the examination, and now there are a total of about 1,000 lifters gathered in Jinling, right?"

"How much is the Jinshi admitted?"

"Who knows, but according to the old practice, there will not be more than 100 people.

"Hey, the white-haired imperial examination is famous!" someone said with emotion.

As soon as he came up, Lu Gao heard a lot of discussion downstairs, mentioning this year's Enko.

These people sitting on the second floor almost did not leave this topic, their voices were not loud, and they really listened to Lu Gao's position, it was nothing more than that they had passed the township exam, and I don't know how many people had failed to make the list.

Listening to these, Lu Gao's thoughts are different, he is originally the master of the people, and he has a different perspective on things, although he is a courtier now, he is still very clear.

These people talked a lot, very lively, whether they were happy or emotional, they were actually on the premise that they recognized the Dacheng Dynasty and regarded the Dacheng Dynasty as orthodox.

When Youzhou came to Jinling, which is full of peace and prosperity, he was already a little emotional, and when he heard such a topic, he felt very complicated, and he came to a private seat in front of the window and sat down.

"This guest officer, what do you want?" Although it is a micro-service, he has been an envoy of the Youzhou Festival for ten years, and he has two personal soldiers to follow, and the guy knows it, so he stepped forward and asked.

"If there is any good dish, just serve it, not too much, ten is enough. Lu Gao waved his hand and said.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the door, and his eyes swept down from the window, and a carriage arrived downstairs.

The car is pulled by two cars, the body compartment is black painted, the color is bright, and there is a man standing on the pedals on both sides.

This kind of elite atmosphere in the army is very clear, there are personal soldiers to protect them, and they are all official bodies according to the system.

At this moment, a man came down, this man was burly, revealing a cold and majestic solemnity, and by his side, there was also a woman.

After coming down, he didn't care about the man's welcome, and said a few words in his mouth, and the shopkeeper greeted him out and welcomed the two into the store.

Then there was a sound on the stairs and I entered the second floor.

The man's eyes swept away, but he frowned, only to see that the two madmen were occupied by a large number of scholars, and there were not many vacant seats, so Lu Gao occupied a large seat.

However, although Lu Gao's expression was gloomy, he was not angry and arrogant, and there were two personal soldiers behind him, which was not trivial at first glance.

Normally, scholars are better to speak, but these scholars are all in the imperial examination in Beijing, gathering thousands of people, if they compete with the scholars in Beijing and have a dispute in the hotel, they are even more difficult to speak.

Thinking of this, the man stepped forward and arched: "This adult, I don't know if I can share the same table?"

Lu Gao got up and said, "Don't dare, it's already very empty, and it's very depressing to use it alone, please!"

Seeing that this person did not shirk the title of "adult", the man was familiar with it, so he invited his wife to sit down, and said: "I am Wu Xingzong, I don't know the name of the adult?"

"Wu Xingzong?" Lu Gao's eyes froze, and he had some faint impressions, but he didn't think much, and he couldn't think of it for a while, but if he could leave an impression on himself, he must be a middle-level military general of the Dacheng Dynasty.

At this time, he was the military gate of the Dacheng Dynasty, so he said softly: "I am Lu Gao." ”

"Lu Gao?" Wu Xingzong's eyes lit up, he descended to the Dacheng Dynasty last month, and was immediately named the general of Zhengsanpin, this news has long been known and circulated by the military, and he didn't want to see him.

Immediately, his attitude was solemn, and he saluted: "Wu Xingzong, the commander of Yuce Xiying, has seen Lu Junmen. ”

From the fifth grade to the third grade, there is a difference between the second grade and the fourth grade, and I have to salute, but because I am not directly subordinate, I don't need to kneel.

In this way, Lu Gao remembered, this person has several military exploits, known as a rising star in the army, Lu Gao is a handsome, he is particularly appreciative of the general, and then carefully looked, he felt that this person's demeanor was calm, he had the style of a general, and he was only in his twenties, he was happy in his heart, and hurriedly helped: "Don't dare, it turned out to be a general who is tracking the King of Wei, please sit down." ”

At this time, Wu Xingzong's wife also saw the courtesy, she is Peng Guozhong's daughter, and now her husband and father are both military generals of the fifth grade, so they naturally have some identities, but when they heard that the man about thirty years old on the opposite side was a military gate, he immediately took a breath of cool air.

After the ceremony, sit down and dine together, Lu Gao and Wu Xingzong started talking, for some reason, as soon as the two saw each other, they sympathized with each other, and they spoke very speculatively.

"It turns out that the adults are visiting Jinling, and the last general is ashamed and doesn't know much about Jinling. Wu Xingzong drank slightly drunk and said.

Seeing that Lu Gao was a little puzzled, Wu Xingzong smiled slightly self-deprecatingly: "The last general joined the army, and his career in the army has been until now, although he has been promoted by the emperor, he has become the commander of this Yuce West Battalion, but he is often in the army because of this." ”

Speaking of which, Wu Xingzong is still a little proud, he has been in the army for four years, and it is really a great thing to climb to this position, which can rarely be compared in the army.

He also said: "The fields have been blessed by the emperor, there are several places, they are scattered all over the place, and there is no manpower to manage them, so they have to be rented out, and I have bought 300 acres of land in my hometown Luotian County, and spent all the money." ”

Speaking of which, he was even more proud, saying that the last time he returned to his hometown, the neighbors were dumbfounded.

I haven't seen him for four years, and the original ruffian has become a general returning to his hometown, which is really unthinkable.

The only thing is that my sister can't see it.

There is also a shadow, that is, I went to Qingjing Temple, but the great monk Master Gaojing disappeared, and I thought of the widely implicated Dharma case, and I couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

Of course, these are all small things, which do not hinder his mood, and he said: "The emperor is in Jinling, and he also gave him a house, of course, it cannot be compared with the military gate, it is here, not far from this hotel, so he often comes to use it." ”

There is also news that the newly formed Huce cavalry capital is commanded by Zhuang Tong, and he is the deputy general, which is another promotion.

In fact, Wu Xingzong didn't really want to be a deputy, nor did he really want to be a horseman, but this was a decision of the Privy Council, and he couldn't complain, so he didn't say it.

Lu Gao raised his glass when he heard this: "The general's return to his hometown is indeed gratifying." ”

Wu Xingzong was stunned, and when he saw that he had a gloomy look, he remembered that Lu Gao was forced by the Hu people and had to retreat to Jinling. ”

As he spoke, he drank it all.

"It's not the general's business, so why make amends. Lu Gao laughed and drank it all in one gulp. (To be continued.)
