Be an official

Shao Yan wrapped his left foot into a rice dumpling, put his right foot on the table, and ate with a fruit plate.He just had lunch in the palace, and it's not dark yet, so he's not in a hurry to eat dinner.

He leaned on the bed and asked the housekeeper to read the booklet.Shao Yan was five big and three thick, and the book looked very small in his hand, but while he was biting the Langhao pen, the red vermilion he wrote on the memorial was indeed very correct and serious.

Floods often occur in southern China in spring. Shao Yan held his pen, remembering that in his previous life he had allocated a large amount of money and dispatched officials to rescue disasters here. The man filled his pockets, and was suppressed because he couldn't produce evidence.

He is an upright official, but he forgot his name, Shao Yan reckoned that he would be able to remember it when he saw him later.

Although Shao Yan was the prime minister, he was forced to leave his armor and return to the imperial court. Obviously, what he did in the army had little effect in the imperial court. It could save the treason five years later, when his snobbish influence in the army was almost wiped out.

"My lord, dinner is ready." A girl came in from outside the door, Shao Yan subconsciously didn't realize who it was.

The girl is dressed in a sura, but her brows are full of wind and dust.

"Well, you go down first, let the butler bring the food in"

"The daughter of the people wants to serve the lord here, and repay the lord for saving his life." The tenderness of the girl's eyebrows and eyes should be extremely beautiful, but Shao Yan has already had her heart in mind in this life, and these inexplicable people will still be there in the future. Check carefully.

The butler serves Shao Yan's meals, and every time he can understand what he wants to eat with just one look in his eyes.

"My lord, do you want the doctor to come and have a look at your feet again?" The butler felt distressed when he saw that his feet were wrapped like rice dumplings.

Shao Yan didn't care much, "It's okay. Let me ask you who is that girl?"

"Miss Yan Wan, whom my lord bought in the song and dance building a few days ago, you don't remember so soon?"

Come to think of it, it's been a long time for him.He met this girl when he was being entertained by officials, and he ransomed her after seeing her being bullied and pitiful. Now that I think about it, it's too coincidental.

"Since she is in the mansion, let her stay in peace. I haven't figured out how to arrange her. Tomorrow, I'm going to the suburbs. You prepare a car and a horse."

After the things were withdrawn, the butler came in again and saw the master dozing off on the cushions. He put Shao Yan's feet in place, took off his clothes, covered the quilt, and retreated by himself.

A fire was burning in the distance, and the soil under his feet was scorched yellow. He took two staggering steps, then knelt down decadently.

No one, no, it was a corpse, mixed with blood and mud, and the face could not be seen clearly.

Holding his sword, he looked up to the sky and screamed.

Shao Yan opened his eyes and saw the red tassels shaking on the forehead of the bed and the light sunlight, so he took a deep breath, sat up and rubbed his eyes vigorously with his hands.

It took half an hour for the carriage to arrive. It was a hillside. Looking down the hill, there was a small villa with green smoke burning in it. "My lord, who are we going to find?"

Shao Yan looked at the busy people in the distance, "Wait"

This wait is three days.

Because of Shao Yan's foot injury, the emperor allowed him to not go to court for two months. Except for the daily necessary corrections and submissions to the inner palace, the rest of the time was really free.

The same carriage parked in the same place for so long must attract attention.

Shao Yan was eating melon seeds and listening to folk songs being sung in the distance. He opened the curtain of the car, and a woodcutter stood in front of the car door, and threw out the gift he had sent home.

"The bitch didn't know it was yours, so I'm giving it back to you now"

Shao Yan carefully looked at this person's appearance, and merged with the Wei Xiao in his memory who was dressed in coarse cloth and led troops to surround the rebels and fought for two days to delay the time for them. He felt emotional in his heart, but this person died in battle man.

Shao Yan threw down the melon seeds and waved at him, "I heard that there is a man with high martial arts skills here, named Wei Xiao, I want to meet him."

"Wei Xiao is the only one here, and he doesn't have the high martial arts skills you said. Please go back." Wei Xiao carried the firewood he had just cut from the mountain on his back, and held a sickle in his hand.

Shao Yan said, "I sent this gift to Wei Xiao's wife, so why did you take it out? Could it be that you robbed someone else?"

"Don't talk nonsense here. If you have something to say, you should speak up. Wei Xiao won't be meandering, and you can't guess this secret word."

Shao Yan followed Le and spread his hands towards him, do you think I'm the kind of person who can bend around, I don't look like that." Shao Yue was five big and three thick, and his hard flesh was wrapped in a gold-painted black costume, but he moved They are hearty and informal, but they don't have the so-called officialdom at all.

"I just want to ask you if you want to take the martial arts test to become a general." Shao Yan rolled his sleeves and looked at Wei Xiao for a moment. He smiled and said, "The person who gave this thing should tell you my identity." ?”

"Aren't you—"

"I am, someone like me can be a prime minister, so it's not difficult for you to be a general, or are you not capable enough?"

Wei Xiao didn't understand what kind of medicine Shao Yan bought, so he could only express his doubts in his heart, "You are a civil servant, and the general belongs to the military officer. You took the initiative to make friends with me so that one day I will be given a heavy responsibility. I want to respect you and listen to you."

"Of course not. The only person you are loyal to is the emperor. Except for him, no one can force you to do what you don't want to do."

Wei Xiao tilted his head, "Why me?"

Shao Yan cracked his mouth and smiled, picked up the fruit plate and continued to eat melon seeds, "I had a dream, and in the dream there was a fairy who entrusted me with a dream and told me to find you"

Wei Xiao waved his sickle, frowned and said nonsense, he looked Shao Yan up and down, and asked, "Your Excellency is very familiar, Cao Min occasionally heard someone mention that nine years ago, in the previous dynasty, there was a general with the same surname Shao Yan. , it’s just that after the First World War, there’s been no news, I don’t know what kind of relationship your lord has with that General Shao?”

The old god Shaoyan nodded, "It is, but I picked up the pen and wrote."

Wei Xiao glared at him with a questioning expression on his face, "But I heard that the general was often laughed at by the late emperor because he was illiterate. Although General Shao was brilliant in strategy, he couldn't read big characters—"

"It was also treated as a joke." Shao Yan continued his words, "So after the victory in the war, I went to learn to write and read. Once I won the first prize, I became the prime minister."

Wei Xiao sneered, "Hmph, my lord is only in his prime, at that time you"

"No more than eighteen" Shao Yan swallowed a mouthful of melon seeds, pointed to the gift on the ground and said, "You can take this thing and use it, I remember you have a sick mother at home, these things are just ordinary medicinal materials, just keep them away "

"Your Excellency has really given up a lot of thought for Wei Xiao. He even investigated the situation in my family so clearly. Wei Xiao will definitely participate in the martial arts test next year, but the ranking is not up to Wei Xiao." Wei Xiao picked up Picking up the things on the ground and walking away, Shao Yan yelled from behind, "Okay, I remember, you have to practice martial arts well, don't be lazy"

Shao Yue drew the curtain and took the driver's tea, "My lord, no matter how powerful this Wei Xiao is, he just came from the countryside, so why bother your lord?"

Shao Yan smiled lightly and remained silent. In his previous life, Wei Xiao had a conversation with him. This man has an upright heart. Although he came from the people, he was loyal. I said that if he can be reused one day, he will surely rule the country and the world, the Qing army will be in chaos, and the rebels will be killed. And those bold words became the last words of Wei Xiao, the woodcutter in the mountains.

The carriage wobbled down the mountain and passed through the town. The coachman was ordered by the old housekeeper to let the adults go to the big medical clinic to bandage the legs and feet and prescribe some medicine. Open it, take it internally and externally, and the injured muscles and bones can heal quickly.

Sitting in the carriage, Shao Yan looked from the swaying curtain, the buds emerging from the willow branches had already turned dark green, he silently turned his head and looked outside, it was obviously a great sunshine, but he could feel the penetration from time to time. The coldness and loneliness of the bone marrow.

Shao Yan was sitting in the inner room of the medical center, waiting for the doctor to change his medicine, while the coachman went outside to get the medicine.This big medical clinic is the best in the capital, not only for medical skills, but also for herbal medicine consultation fees here are extremely low.

"My lord, you need to wait for a while. Dr. Xu came to the clinic today. He just came out. There are only people in the store who fetch medicine. Your leg injury was seen by the imperial doctor. It is not allowed for ordinary people to see it." misdiagnosis"

Seeing that it was almost noon, Shao Yan had no choice but to ask the coachman to buy some food. He was so hungry that even a nine-foot man missed a meal.

The coachman went out on the front foot, and the boy in the shop on the back foot brought in the meal, four small dishes, and a bowl of rice. The boy knew that Shao Yan's status was not ordinary, and he was very kind to entertain him. , I am bothering you son.

Shao Yan happened to be hungry, took a bite of the vegetable, and stopped moving after eating, staring at the four plain vegetables in front of him, his gaze became deep.

"Master, it's not to your liking? If you think it's too bland, I'll ask the back kitchen to add some oil and water—"

"No" dishes are sweet and delicious, no problem.However, Shao Yan knew that this kind of sweetness contained in the mouth had a bitter taste when it melted into the throat. Although people couldn't accept it for a while, the aftertaste in the mouth could last for a long time.

He slowly picked up the chopsticks and took another bite, then raised his eyes and asked the waiter, "Who made this meal? It's delicious."

The little fellow breathed a sigh of relief, "It's a guy in the shop, I thought the young master couldn't get used to it, should I serve you some more, look at this"

"You bring the person who cooks and say I have a reward, go"

After the boy left, Shao Yan stared at the food in a daze. He liked to add medicinal herb powder to the food. He liked the light and bitter taste of the mouth. He liked to wrap the rice in lotus leaves and steam it. These habits were only remembered by him. in that person.

But at this time, that person is impossible to appear.
