Xiangye

Chapter 228 Gao Jieyuan

Gao Wen and the others brought Huang Wei's test papers to Xu Yuxingyuan. After a busy day, they finally dismissed the case completely.

Today, Xu Yu arrested Gao Linghan, the chief envoy of Shaanxi, and other officials, and he was too busy to stick his feet to the bottom.Hearing that Gao Wen was coming, I still found time to meet him, and told him to pack up as soon as possible after returning home, and go to Beijing with him early tomorrow morning.

Xu Jue's reasoning is simple: "Gao Linghan served nine years in Shaanxi as an official of the frontier, and his party members spread all over the three Qin states. Apart from him, Zhengyin officials from various prefectures, prefectures, and counties have also fallen into the law, and they must be sent back to Beijing earlier. Otherwise, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be people who will not die, and even those who have intentions will make trouble. If these criminal officials do not leave Shaanxi, the official will not be at peace for a day."

"The teacher's words are reasonable, the students will go back and prepare." Gao Wen deeply agreed with Xu Yan's words.The water in Shaanxi's officialdom is too deep, let alone a provincial chief envoy.Take Mei Liang back then as an example, a small horse farm owner could mobilize dozens of horse thieves to kill people.

After talking a little more and asking about Huang Wei, Xu Yu nodded: "This thief surnamed Huang is a hard-headed one. I am handling this big case in Shaanxi, which has involved more than 40 criminal officials. Up and down There were hundreds of people, and he was the only one who killed himself."

Gao Wen: "The teacher is right."

Xu Yu smiled: "Erzhi, if a man wants to show his ambitions, he must become an official. The officialdom is dangerous, and if one step goes wrong, it will be an abyss. After you enter Beijing, the teacher will find you an official position." , while practicing, while preparing for the next year's spring. You don't know how many cunning thieves like Huang Wei will meet, so you must pay more attention, my Gao Jieyuan."

"Don't dare!" Gao Wen saluted respectfully, "Thank you for your advice, teacher."

After Gao Wen came out from the imperial envoy Xingyuan, he suddenly thought that he was considered a Juren now, and he was still the first name Jieyuan.Together with Xu Zhen, he handled this major case in Shaanxi, and now he is famous in Guanzhong.It has only been less than a year since time travel.

Looking back now, this period of time is so long, I can't help but sigh.

……

As soon as he got home, before he could step over the threshold, the sound of early firecrackers "cracked, crackled, crackled", and green smoke filled the air.

The guests in the courtyard rushed out to greet Gao Wen, shouting "Gao Jieyuan" and "Gao Jieyuan".

Gao Wen returned the salute with a smile one by one, and was surrounded by everyone and entered the courtyard.

A banquet had already been set up in the yard, full of guests.They were all neighbors, but they didn't see Yu Xingyan and Shi Linsheng.As for the mother and Shi Youyi, because they are female relatives, it is not convenient to come out, only Shi Youyi's second brother is outside to greet and socialize.

Gao Wen felt strange, and accompanied each table with a glass of wine, he asked the old man of the Shi family when there was no one there: "Second brother, where are Mr. Shi and Mr. Yu, didn't they agree to have a lively and lively together at my place?"

Shi Laoer looked sad, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Gao, my father and Mr. Yu are here. They sat down and drank a cup or two of tea, and a servant from their side came to look for them and told them After saying a few words, my father was annoyed, and got into a scolding ball with Mr. Yu, and almost got into a fight. After finally separating them, they ran back again, saying that there was something important."

Gao Wen scratched his scalp: "Why did you make a fuss, do you know what's going on?"

Second Shi: "But I don't know, why don't you ask Madam, my father said a few words to Madam when he left."

"Okay, I'm going to the inner house to meet my mother and Youyi."

Entering the back yard, Gao Wen saw his mother and Shi Youyi's eyes were red, but their faces were full of excitement.

Gao Wen went up to bow down to his mother, choked up and said, "Mother, I have suffered for you this year. My son finally lived up to Mother's hope and won a job. Youyi, thank you for taking care of Mother this year. If it weren't for you, I don't know what this family would have become."

Shi Youyi let out a low cry, and hurriedly moved away: "Brother, don't say that, it's what I should do."

Gao's mother hurriedly straightened Gao Wen's body from the ground: "Wen'er, get up quickly, but I won't be able to worship you. My mother heard people say that the people who won the exam are all stars in the sky, especially those who won No.1. It's Wenquxing. You can't kneel down to mortals. If you accept his worship, you will lose your life. Mother is finally looking forward to a good day and wants to live for two more years!"

This remark caused Shi Youyi who was next to him to burst into a low laugh, and Gao Wen was also helpless, saying: "Mother's words are wrong, heaven and earth, master and teacher, this is a standard of ethics, and you can't mess it up. Even if you win the first prize, see You have to worship even your parents, but there is no such thing as you.”

Mother Gao: "Really?"

Gao Wen: "If you don't believe me, ask Miss Shi."

Shi Youyi: "Mother, it's true."

Only then did Gao's mother let out a sigh of relief: "So that's how it was, I scared my mother to death. My mother was still counting, and I, Wen'er, kowtowed this just now. After all, my mother will lose a few years of life!"

Both Gao Wen and Shi Youyi couldn't help laughing.

Gao's mother also laughed: "That's fine, Wen'er, you go to your father's grave to kowtow and burn three sticks of incense!"

"Yes, mother."

Gao Wen kowtowed three times in front of his father's spiritual tablet, burnt incense, and said: "Mother, Miss Shi, I'm going to the capital tomorrow, but I'm ready."

Shi Youyi: "The luggage is ready, four-season clothes, the four treasures of the study, and books. By the way, Mr. Yu took out all the money you saved with him earlier and sent it here. In order to make it easier for you to use it when you come to Beijing, I will change it. I paid 1000 taels of gold." Thinking of her separation from Gao Wen tomorrow, a trace of reluctance and sadness flashed across her face.

"1000 taels of gold is fine. I'll take it to the capital first." Gao Wen said, "Anyway, I will stay in Beijing for three years. In this way, I will buy a house there first. When I settle down, my case will be dismissed. I will send Xiaoying over to pick you and your mother into the capital. Firstly, I can serve my mother, and secondly, I can marry you, which is a matter of a year or so."

Hearing Gao Wen talk about her marriage, Shi Youyi's pretty face turned red, and with a low cry, she was about to flee outside.

How could Gao Wen let her go? He grabbed Shi Youyi's sleeve and said, "Sister, don't leave in a hurry. Let me ask you, what happened to Mr. Shi and Mr. Yu before? Why did you leave without even drinking on the big day?" ?”

Hearing Gao Wen's question, the blush on Shi Youyi's face disappeared, and she said, "Brother, Mr. Yu has hit the nail on the head."

"What hit?" Gao Wen didn't think of going there for a while, and asked casually.

Shi Youyi said: "Mr. Yu and his father heard that you need to know Yuan, brother, and invited them over to have a drink and celebrate. But as soon as they sat down, without saying a word, the assistant from Linlang Bookstore came to announce the good news, saying that Mr. Yu was selected. The newspaper has come to the door, tell the old gentleman to go back quickly to socialize."

"Ah!" Gao Wen's eyeballs were about to fall to the ground: "Old Mr. Yu won the Juren, miracle, miracle!"

Shi Youyi: "My father came to the back house to tell me about this matter. He also called Mr. Yu a villain and copied his papers. Mr. Yu refused to accept it, so he replied. You know your father's temper. Immediately With red eyes, they rushed forward and scuffled."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but pause: "Brother, father and Boss Yu are old friends after all, if there is a quarrel because of this matter, it is not good, you have to persuade them."

Gao's mother also said: "Wen'er, you should persuade me that peace is the most important thing."

Gao Wen: "Okay, I'll go over now."

That being said, with so many guests coming to the house, how can they escape.

It was already noon when the entertainment was over.

Gao Wen's head was swollen by the guests, and when he arrived at the residence of the two old men, Shi Linsheng was already packing up, saying that he would not live with a shameless villain like Yu Xingyan anymore, and he was going back to Hancheng.

Yu Xingyan couldn't reply, he shook his head and sighed again.

His high school promotion is also a great joy in life, and he planned to hold a banquet to celebrate it.When Shi Linsheng did this, he really spoiled the happy event.

Gao Wen went forward and said a few words to Boss Yu, shaking his head. He also copied an old work and used the same article. Why did Yu Xingyan win the toad palace, but Shi Linsheng lost his name?
Who can tell clearly about the things in life?

In any case, if either of the two old men won the election, Gao Wen would be happy for him.

He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Boss Yu, will you continue to take the Jinshi examination next, or go to the Ministry of Officials to be a candidate for a seventh-rank official? If it is the former, you might as well hand over the bookstore to Shiyuan and prepare for the examination seriously; If you want to be an official, simply go to Beijing with me for the first time. Mr. Xu is my mentor after all, and I can talk to you, and ask him to help you with activities. Those hundreds and thousands of taels of silver."

"It's easy to take the exam, don't! I'm already old, and if I go on the exam, I'll have to work hard. As for the selection of officials, thank you, I don't have this thought. To be able to win the exam this time is my life's wish. , I have nothing else to ask for." Yu Xingyan said with a smile: "You are right, and it is time for me to hand over the bookstore to Shi Yuan."

The two chatted and laughed happily, Gao Wen didn't say that it was okay to go to Beijing, but when he said it, he annoyed Shi Linsheng on the other side.

He yelled, and rushed towards Gao Wen with all his teeth and claws: "Gao Wen, you little bastard, Chen Shimei. You promised to marry my family's San, but now you have reneged on your promise. Don't think that I don't understand your mind, don't you just want to take another exam in the future?" Scholars, it’s good to pay the family’s price and buy it, and climb another branch for the future. Old man, old man will fight with you!”

Gao Wen practiced martial arts hard every day, and when he saw Shi Linsheng rushing towards him, he didn't have time to think about it, his body had subconsciously conditioned reflexes.He raised his hand and knocked him to the ground with an elbow.

At this time, he yelled badly: "Mr. Shi, don't worry about it!"

Yu Xingyan hurriedly grabbed him and dragged him outside: "Erzhi, hurry up, hurry up, if you keep pestering him, it will be endless!"

Shi Linsheng suddenly jumped up from the ground: "The son-in-law beat the father-in-law, disobedient and unfilial, disobedient and unfilial!"

Seeing that he was fine, Gao Wen breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time was terrified.He didn't dare to stay at the moment, and escaped like a puff of smoke.

After he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, he was not afraid of the sky and the earth, but he was afraid of two people.One is naturally the mother, and the other is old Mr. Shilin Shengshi.These two are his only elders in this world, and he also cherishes this rare family relationship.
