To Rule in a Turbulent World

A few days later, You Miao's mind became clearer, drinking ginseng soup, recalling the scene that Li Yan and Zhao Chao came to see him that night, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, secretly thinking that it was so dangerous.

This time in the imperial examination, You Miao didn't know whether she was dazzled by the sun, or was impulsive, and actually wrote such a policy theory!It was obvious that he was courting death!Unexpectedly, however, such content was hit right and wrong, and it met the wishes of both sides at the same time.

What does Li Yan want?Don't you just want someone who can disown Li Dang, who can be a censor and dare to say anything?His own policy not only scolded Li Dang, but also scolded the emperor. Li Yan would only think that he wrote it on purpose, and would not doubt him at all.

What does Zhao Chao want?Could it be that someone helped him speak in front of his father... The more You Miao thought about it, the more fortunate he was. That day, his head was dizzy in the palace examination field, and he wrote it all the way, except for his mother's blessing in heaven, there is no other explanation.It was really a sign of prosperous official career. Thinking of it this way, even I couldn't help admiring my good luck.

On the same day when the imperial examination results were announced, the examiner came to the door in person and came to read out the imperial examination results.

"Handpicked by the imperial pen—"

"People from Pei County, Liuzhou, You Miao You Ziqian, father You Dechuan, mother Qiao—"

"Yijia Tanhualang! Blessed by God!"

You Miao was stunned, and with a bang, the whole Guozixue exploded, and the students rushed to tell each other. Countless people flocked to the secluded courtyard, vying to be the first to see the elegant demeanor of Tanhua. The examiner said with a smile: "Hurry up and thank you!"

You Miao quickly recovered and knelt down to thank you.

The examiner shook out another yellow list and read: "A person from Anlu, Yangzhou, Zhang Wenhan, styled Mohuai, bestowed on Jinshi with the same name, passed on to the top three, and received the grace of God..."

Zhang Wenhan's eyes were red, trembling uncontrollably, as if in a dream, he quickly knelt down to thank him, with tears in his eyes, he cried loudly, "Father! Mother! Have you ever seen in the spirit of the sky that Zhang Erzhong has become a Jinshi—!"

You Miao couldn't believe it, she won Tanhua? !No. 3 in No. [-], one of the top three, what does this mean? !The emperor read his article, and he was hand-picked by the imperial pen, and he was selected as Tanhua!

"Congratulations, young master! Congratulations, young master!" Cheng Guangwu was almost speechless with excitement, and ordered Yaoguang: "Hurry up! Take silver coins as a reward!"

You Miao accepted the favor list, and the examiner said again: "Tonight, August [-]th, His Majesty will hold a banquet in the Imperial Garden. Remember to enter the palace when you are. Someone will come to pick you up."

You Miao bowed and said, "Remember, Wansheng."

The examiner took another look at You Miao and said, "If you don't like what you get, you don't feel sad when you lose it. A pillar of talent is worthy of great responsibility!" He patted You Miao on the shoulder and went back to report.

Zhang Wenhan muttered to himself, still excited like a dream, but You Miao looked sad, and went back to the room, sighing.

"Tan Hua Lang." You Miao suddenly realized that there seemed to be nothing to be happy about, and she had nothing to rely on in her heart.

Cheng Guangwu came in with a smile and said, "Master! Our family is in the top!"

You Miao got a headache from being noisy by a group of people outside, and said: "Okay, let's go out, let me be quiet for a while."

Cheng Guangwu said: "The young master is not happy? I have to change clothes quickly, go to burn incense and take a bath, and I will go to the palace for a banquet at night!"

You Miao threw the imperial list aside and shouted, "Luoguang! Luuguang! Come in!"

Yaoguang was outside distributing money to the Tai students. For a while, the secluded courtyard was full of people, and there was an endless stream of visitors. Even the nearby people came to visit Hualang and ask for a few rewards. Yaoguang heard You Miao's voice. Furious, he hurriedly turned around and came in, not daring to speak.

You Miao slammed the door hard, and everyone outside was startled. Hearing Tanhua swearing in the room, You Miao said angrily: "Go out now, ride back to the villa on a horse, and tell Li Zhifeng! If you don't come here again, I will be in the capital again." Just buy someone! It’s promised to arrive before the palace test, what does this look like?!”

You Miao suddenly felt that she was in a daze, why did she get so angry?

Yaoguang was also taken aback and didn't dare to answer, You Miao smiled bitterly again: "Forget it, forget it, pretend I didn't say it."

You Miao finally said what he was thinking, and he felt more at ease. He was actually not angry that Li Zhifeng didn't come, but that he didn't take himself seriously.

He also did a good enough job, he did what he was told to do, and when he went back to the villa, he was doing things according to what You Miao said. Although Li Zhifeng said that he was all thinking about him, he lived for You Miao. There is no reason to toss such a person to death, but You Miao feels uncomfortable and sad.The reason was not that Li Zhifeng didn't come, although he was not wrong.

"Go, go buy lemongrass." You Miao said: "Boil the water, sweat all over, wash and change clothes. Which of you will follow me into the palace?"

Yaoguang and Cheng Guangwu exchanged glances, Cheng Guangwu shook his head slightly, Yaoguang seemed to hesitate to speak, but was stopped by Cheng Guangwu.

You Miao immediately noticed this subtle change and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Yaoguang said: "Master..."

Cheng Guangwu frowned and said, "Yaoguang, go boil the water."

But You Miao said: "You talk before you go, what did you want to say just now?"

After hesitating for a moment, Yaoguang said: "It's not that Li Zhifeng...it's not that he didn't take care of the young master, it's because he fell off the cliff when the flood was flooding last time..."

Yaoguang just raised his head, and You Miao was stunned immediately.

"...broke my leg," said Fluctlight.

The sky was shining into the dim room, You Miao just sat there blankly.

Zhang Wenhan wiped away his tears, accepted congratulations from the students in the yard, and nodded frequently.

After a while, I heard You Miao burst into tears in the room, crying heartbreakingly.

Everyone immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, and they all said that Tanhualang was really capable.

Don't cry when receiving orders.

Don't cry when receiving congratulations.

Go back and close the door and cry by yourself, talent!

In the afternoon of that day, You Miao closed her eyes and lay exhausted in the hot water, with her hair loose and immersed in the water.

While cutting You Miao's hair, Yaoguang said: "Li Zhifeng said, don't let the young master be alarmed, and come to Beijing as soon as your legs get better."

You Miao said: "You will go back later and tell him to keep him at home. I will go back tomorrow morning."

Yao Guang said: "Master, Uncle and him were afraid that you would be in a hurry to go back, so they let me hide it from you. If you go back now, my leg will be lost."

You Miao couldn't help but laugh, and patted her head angrily.

Yaoguang gave a rare smile, bowed and nodded, and retreated, and Cheng Guangwu came in to serve and rub his back.

You Miao said: "Ask Yaoguang to come in! I haven't finished my question yet!"

Cheng Guangwu said with a mournful face, "Master."

You Miao said impatiently: "What's the matter?"

Cheng Guangwu said: "I only brought four sets of clothes at home, two sets were still wet after washing, and two sets were casual clothes. It's too late to make them now, so I should go to a shop to buy ready-made clothes?"

You Miao said: "Wear it casually, why are you so particular about it?"

It was crazy busy outside, only after Zhang Wenhan and Yaoguang came back to their senses did they realize that You Miao was going to the palace for a banquet today!The clothes that Jiangbo Villa brought were simply not enough to look at.It's too late to do it now.You Miao himself knew the cost of food and clothing, but when he came to the capital, he didn't put his mind on it, so he ordered: "You can wear whatever you want, and you can wear a coarse robe if you can. I'm afraid of it. If you go, the emperor may even boast about it." I live frugally."

After a while, someone came outside again, but it was Chang Yuan, the oldest servant in the family, who was talking softly with Yaoguang in the corridor, You Miao said: "Chang Yuan? Come in."

Changyuan came in with a smile, and said: "Congratulations, young master, congratulations, young master, Uncle Qiao guessed that the young master must have been named on the gold list, and he was afraid that the young master would have something to spend, so he asked me to hurry up eight hundred miles away to give the young master the money." Tickets are here."

You Miao said: "How is Li Zhifeng's leg? You tell me the truth, or you two will be sent to the army."

Changyuan's smile froze, and You Miao said again: "I'm afraid he asked you to come to Beijing, so hold me down first, right?"

You Miao was just messed up before, but now her mind is clear, she can turn around faster than anyone else, and she guessed right, Chang Yuan hurriedly said: "The butler's legs are fine, but he can't ride a horse. I wanted to come here in a carriage. But thinking about coming here will also cause the young master to worry, it is better to raise it at home before coming back."

You Miao carefully asked Chang Yuan how Li Zhifeng fell and where he was injured. After asking the bottom line once, Chang Yuan swore that there was a thunderbolt coming out, so she relaxed a little and got up to wear it. clothing.Chang Yuan respectfully presented a letter and 3000 taels of silver.

You Miao said coldly: "The 3000 taels are from my uncle? I'm afraid it's from my cheap dad."

Chang Yuan hurriedly said: "Young master is wise, there are 2000 taels in it, and it was indeed sent to our village by Biyu Villa. Uncle said that it is not necessary anyway, so I sent it along with it."

You Miao didn't even look at the bank note, her eyes were still red, and she shook off Li Zhifeng's letter. It was the night of Qixi Festival, You Miao wrote a few words and sent it, and Li Zhifeng replied after reading it.

In the reply letter was a poem - "Deng Ke" by Meng Jiao.

"In the past, it wasn't enough to boast about the filth, but now the debauchery has no limit. The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day."
