Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 206

Before Tong Yehu Khan's mission arrived, the marriage was strictly kept secret by the only people in the court who knew about it.It's not that this is something shameful, on the contrary, Zhu Yidi's initiative to ask for a marriage is completely a recognition and respect for the forces of the Tang Dynasty.But just because the matter is important here, I still try to prepare everything as much as possible, so that the envoys who come will be more impressed by the majestic momentum.

Little is known, so naturally there can be no disturbances.The common people are still talking about the world as usual.While in Jinzhou, Luo Yan is currently sorting out his things for returning to Beijing with the help of Ah Quan.

Unlike normal government offices, the state school is on vacation before other government offices.The officials were exhausted because they were holding the money from the court.And students have to rely on self-consciousness to learn or not. They can't be allowed to spend fifteen days in the first month like the officials. That's too little.Some scholars are far away from their hometowns, and they basically don't go home unless they are on long vacations.

Therefore, on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the state school sent all the students back home, and the masters also returned home one after another.When Luo Yan went to the Governor's Mansion to report everything about Zhouxue, even Yu Shizong envied the leisure.Jinzhou is relatively close to Chang'an, so it is not possible to leave early in the name of returning to Chang'an to participate in the Great Court Conference.After Yu Shizong's subordinate Luo Yan wrote the document, he also said with some envy: "Dr. Luo has been leisurely these days, but we have a lot of hard times waiting."

Thinking about these days and Chang Shi and Liu Cao summing up the events of this year day and night, Yu Shizong felt a little bitter.And it doesn't count if I have summed it up by myself. After meeting Li Shimin, I will tell them in detail one by one. Only when Li Shimin nods in approval can he pass the test.The worry in the middle is something that other people can understand.

Anyway, during the scientific examination this year, the state has learned the first scholar, and it has been able to give an explanation to the people in the state and the government.Coupled with Luo Yan's repeated lectures in the past few months, his reputation in Jinzhou has risen unprecedentedly, so that even he, the governor, can't find fault.Now he returned to Chang'an early, even though Yu Shizong clearly knew that Luo Yan was alone, he was also a little jealous at the moment.

Hearing what Yu Shizong said, Luo Yan teased him a little complacently: "It's the so-called matter of eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. Could it be that the governor still wants to take his salary and not do anything? Besides, I think the common people said behind their backs that we are waiting. Everyone calls it a poor teacher. Talking about you behind your back, but calling you a master. The difference is obviously that we are a little sad, why should the governor complain."

He couldn't complain, but was teased by Luo Yan for a while. Yu Shizong was a little annoyed, pointing at Luo Yan and pretending to be angry: "I said, why do people still say bad things about you in the scholar forest? It turns out that it is your mouth. That's it." Those who don't want to scold you will say a few more words after hearing what you say."

But since many great Confucian scholars have spoken for Luo Yan, although the criticism of Luo Yan has decreased a lot, there are still some people who will find fault with Luo Yan from time to time.At this time, the matter has come to a conclusion, and those great scholars will not stand up again for Luo Yan because of this.So some good people in Shilin also used who and who came out to scold Luo Yan again, and scolded Luo Yan again, and used it as a talking point for eating and drinking.

Hearing Yu Shizong's words, Luo Yan curled his lips: "Only those who I can't reason with will do such a thing." This remark was once again laughed at by Yu Shizong.

After reporting all the things that should be reported in the governor's mansion, and joking with Yu Shizong like this, Luo Yan returned to the state school.Although Ah Quan is a slave, he still has some old memories in Chang'an.Knowing Luo Yan's plan to return to Chang'an, he was very excited.Therefore, when Luo Yan was not around, he packed up all the things to be brought on the road early.When Luo Yan entered his house, he saw two parcels on the table.

At this moment, it was finally Luo Yan's turn to be dumbfounded.Following Ah Quan who was still busy, Luo Yan said: "Ah Quan, why are you in such a hurry? Now it's time to apply, do you mean that we should just leave like this?"

Ah Quan stopped what he was doing, nodded his head in a naive manner, and said in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty, why did you say that? I have to leave tomorrow, so I'll pack it up today, and I'm sure I'll be able to remember what I forgot in the morning. If Tomorrow I will rush to clean up, and I will not remember it until I arrive in Chang'an, so it will not delay the matter." The words were so convincing that Luo Yan was speechless.

After a long silence, Luo Yan said: "Ah Quan, we can't leave tomorrow anyway. Let's go back, and we have to buy something for our family. Think about it. We have moved to three places in half a year, and we didn't even have a little time when we returned to Chang'an." There are no gifts at all, that would be too shabby."

Ah Quan was taken aback by these words.Thinking about it, I really haven't seen my relatives for a long time. If I go back without bringing something, how can I justify it.So he nodded with a smirk: "It's still the gentleman who is thoughtful. Then tomorrow, the gentleman will take the little one to have a look. Speaking of which, we have been in Jinzhou for so long, and I haven't had a good look. Take a good chance at this opportunity.”

Ah Quan has been with Luo Yan for a long time, and he is also young, Luo Yan usually does not deliberately order him.After a long time, my heart has become more friendly to a simple and honest child like Ah Quan. Now hearing what he said, Luo Yan felt a little guilty.When he was in Youzhou back then, Luo Yan repeatedly asked Ah Quan not to go out without permission because things were more complicated. At the same time, he also strictly talked with other people.

Such a lively child, he has been holding back for several months.In Jinzhou, there is no Youzhou, but Luo Yan forgot about it.But Ah Quan still remembers it in his heart, so if he is not sent by Luo Yan, he will not take half a step out of the state school.If I don't take him out, I'm afraid I will get sick.Just about to be reminded at this moment, Luo Yan said: "Ah Quan, now Jinzhou is different from Youzhou, and I will go out for a walk when I have free time. As long as I don't expose my identity casually, it's okay to play for a whole day. After finishing speaking, he patted Ah Quan on the shoulder: "Okay, go back early and have a rest. I have to do some shopping tomorrow. I can't do it if I don't keep my spirits up."

Hearing what Luo Yan said, Ah Quan was also very excited, hurriedly packed the things in the house, bowed to Luo Yan, and ran out to return to his room.

In the early morning of the next day, Luo Yan was woken up early by Ah Quan.He brought hot water and cheerfully served Luo Yan to put on a plain casual dress.After Luo Yan washed up and tidied up the house, he looked at Luo Yan eagerly.

This look also made Luo Yan smile.He said to him angrily: "Okay, you should take all the money. Let's go out to eat this morning. Seeing how anxious you are, if you don't go out, I'm afraid you will lose your mind."

Although Luo Yan said a lot about it, Ah Quan didn't feel any shame at all. Instead, he said happily: "Your Majesty is really kind. Don't worry, there is still more than half of the money you gave me when you came here. Just listen to those scholars. It is said that Jinzhou's soup cakes are good, so you might as well take this opportunity to try them out. Also, I heard that there is also a kind of sesame paste from the Western Regions, which tastes sweet and delicious when paired with the bread, sir, let's buy some too."

Seeing Ah Quan's tendency to turn into a foodie, Luo Yan couldn't help but rubbed his forehead and sighed what evil he had done.There is Yinger at the front and back, and Ah Quan at the back. They are all ordinary foodies.But thinking of Ying'er, Luo Yan also hadn't seen her for some time, and now that I think of it, I really miss her a little.

However, his thoughts were quickly interrupted by Ah Quan, who only heard him talking about the famous food in Jinzhou, and then said to Luo Yan: "Oh, I talked too much, I'm about to miss the time for breakfast." Yes. Sir, let's go quickly. If we slow down a bit, I'm afraid we will be hungry until noon." After hearing this, Luo Yan couldn't hold back anymore, and laughed loudly.

In this way, the master and servant walked out of the state school with one laughing wildly and the other wondering.Without the shelter of the courtyard wall, gusts of cold wind blew from the street at this moment, making Luo Yan shiver for a while.In the end, he could only pull up the cloak to block the wind blowing towards his chest, which made him feel better.

As the sun gradually became cheaper, they finally got a little warmth from the sun. At this time, the two of them also had a good meal of the soup cakes in Ah Quan's mouth at a place that sold breakfast.In fact, it was the same taste after eating, but it was the first time for Ah Quan to eat on Jinzhou Street, affected by his psychological factors, he ate two bowls in a row.After eating, regardless of the hot sweat on his forehead, he wiped his mouth and shouted: "Lang Jun, let me just say, this Jinzhou soup cake is really good."

Ignoring Ah Quan's silly joy, Luo Yan stood up, gave up his seat to other guests, and rushed to the market in the city.The purchases were just Jinzhou specialties. After all, they are in Guanzhong with Chang'an, and the distance is not far away, so there is nothing special about it. However, Luo Yan packed a few small things.At the same time, I was lucky enough to find an old wild ginseng, which was a good thing. After several pleadings, Luo Yan bought it.It would be a good gift to bring to Lu Deming when the time comes.

At the end, Ah Quan was seen carrying a bundle in one hand, and a lot of food in the other hand.It was he who was staring at those things on the road, with a greedy look but didn't say anything, Luo Yan couldn't bear it after seeing it, so he came to all the food that he had seen on the street in one breath ordered one.It made Ah Quan feel pain and happiness amidst thousands of thanks.

After buying for a long time, when they felt that they were almost done, the master and servant walked slowly towards the state school.At this moment, even Luo Yan couldn't take it anymore, Ah Quan was holding food and writing, and he almost couldn't spare his hands to carry more things.In desperation, Luo Yan could only be the coolie by himself, holding all the things he bought.At this time, Luo Yan regretted buying so much.

The next morning, the sky suddenly began to snowflakes profusely.Although it's not that heavy snow, it's not too small either.Thinking of those long-lost old friends in Chang'an City, Luo Yan gritted his teeth, ordered Ah Quan to prepare the fire, put on his clothes, and braved the wind and snow to ride a carriage out of Jinzhou.
