eye-catching

As soon as Zhang Jiyao came to Beijing, he got the best official position - the imperial edict of the Academy of Sciences.

The adults who brought him in greeted him, and he took office as soon as he left.

Zhang Jiru followed him into the capital and continued to do business.

After that time, Zhang Jiyao never asked about the familiar Youxiang again.

He couldn't help wondering, was he dreaming that time?

However, is such a clear touch really a dream?

After coming to the capital, he warned himself that he must do things well, and he must not let his brother down.There are very few people like him who can take office as soon as they are selected, but he is one of them.

He didn't understand why his luck was so good all of a sudden, he just thought that the bad luck of the previous period was gone, and now it's time for good luck.

Most of the students in the academy are talented people recommended by various places. Zhang Jiru received a lot of compliments with his face.

He is still young and has a long way to go, but his brother is not young anymore, his only wish now is to watch his brother get married.

He didn't know if his brother had someone he liked, and when he asked, he just shook his head with a smile.

After getting his salary, he ran to ask his brother.

"Brother, do you want to get married?"

Zhang Jiru looked surprised and asked: "What's wrong?"

After he told his brother what he thought, Zhang Jiru just smiled: "You don't have to worry about me, I'm also relaxed now, I'll pay attention to the marriage."

Zhang Jiyao didn't know how to repay his brother, and the hope in his heart never went out.

"You don't have to worry about neglecting me after marrying your sister-in-law."

Zhang Jiyu hit the mark.

However, the elder brother just smiled and did not speak.

Within a few days, Zhang Jiru pulled Zhang Jiyu and said, "I fell in love with a girl."

When Zhang Jiyao heard it, he was very happy immediately, and said, "How is it?"

"That woman fell in love with me the last time I came to the capital, but I didn't agree."

"That's good."

My brother didn't tell me about this, which means he took it to heart.

"Brother is married, is it really okay with you?"

The worry on Zhang Jiru's face was indeed superfluous in Zhang Jiyao's view.

"I'm fine. I'm already this old. I have to think about getting married in a few years."

He smiled on his face, but his heart twitched hard.

He understood that it was impossible for him to fall in love with others again.

The elder brother was very happy, so he took Zhang Jiyu to drink with him that night.

Soon, the woman's family really agreed to the marriage, and they decided to choose a date for the wedding.

Zhang Jiyu accompanied his brother through the period before marriage, although he knew that his brother would still live together after marriage, but the feeling was very different.

He finally met his sister-in-law. She was a very gentle woman, and there was always tenderness in her eyes when she looked at her brother. That feeling seemed familiar.

He remembered that there was a person, although his face was always expressionless, but his beautiful eyes were always gentle.

He smiled wryly, if that person didn't have such eyes, maybe he could live a little happier now.

After Zhang Jiru got married, Zhang Jiyao became completely alone.

When he went to the academy, he overheard someone talking about him behind his back. Zhang Jiyao never liked such gossip, so he found someone to ask him about it afterwards.

The man didn't flinch, he just said, "They're talking about how you got into the academy."

Indeed, Zhang Jiyu was the first case to directly enter the Academy of Sciences after winning the examination.

"You are almost as good as Lin Xilin's attendant!"

Zhang Jiyu knows that Lin Xie is a legend among these literati. Usually, only one or two of the Sanyuan and the first dynasty will come out, and Lin Xie got it at a young age, so he directly sat on the position of attendant. Position.

Zhang Jiyu naturally didn't believe it, he just said, "I'm lucky, am I?"

"Good luck?" The man just said disdainfully, "People in the official department can't see you at all, how do they know that you are good-looking?"

Zhang Jiyao didn't think about it, but now it seems that there is something wrong with his official position.

He couldn't figure it out, so he wanted to find someone to ask.

When he asked, he found out the reason.

The attendant only said: "Your name is specially mentioned by the superiors to pay attention to it. I think you are not bad, you have a big man backing you!"

Zhang Jiyao looked puzzled and said, "A big shot?"

The attendant rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't it the emperor!"

Zhang Jiyao turned pale with fright, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

"You don't know?" The attendant looked at him suspiciously and said, "The emperor himself told the officials to take care of a man named Zhang Jiyu."

Zhang Jiyu just felt dazed, but he didn't understand, when will the emperor take care of him?

Is it possible...

Zhang Jiyao thought of a possibility.

Could it be that he wanted to compensate him for being arrested in the Western Regions for no reason?

Then, could it be that even Juren among himself is...

Zhang Jiyao didn't dare to think about it anymore.

As soon as he went back, he dragged his brother to have a secret talk.

Zhang Jiru didn't know why his face was pale, and after hearing his words, he was also shocked.

"You said, the emperor is helping you?"

Zhang Jiyao nodded, feeling very mysterious to himself.

Zhang Jiru calmed down and said: "Since the emperor is compensating you, then you can accept it with peace of mind, after all you almost won't come back."

Zhang Jiyao lowered his head in thought for a moment, then nodded.

Indeed, when nine scholars like him were arrested and sent to the Western Regions, it was a very mysterious thing. Since he came back with great fortune, the emperor gave him a gift, so he just accepted it with peace of mind.

"Then shall I thank the emperor?"

Zhang Jiru thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "No need, maybe the emperor doesn't want this matter to be known by more people."

"I see."

Zhang Jiyu, who knew the truth, heaved a sigh of relief, the official position he bought with his life was indeed too heavy.

However, now that he has reached this point, it is impossible for him to turn back.

Just like now that he has walked out of Beixing Village, it is impossible to go back on his word.

He believed from the beginning to the end that he had never done anything evil, so, naturally, he was protected by God.

Although this official position is empty, but if you work slowly, you can always get ahead.

And as for the shadow that is not clear about reality, just bury him deeply in your heart.

In fact, now, he doesn't even remember what that person was like.

However, he understood very well what was pulling his heart.

He knew that the vague figure he dreamed of every night was the greatest joy in his life.
