Mrs. Rebirth

Qu Changqing laughed out loud as he watched Zuo Shaoqing get dressed in a hurry, and joked, "Brother, I thought Shao Qing was studying without sleeping or eating, but I didn't expect you, a slob, to steal half a day's leisure."

After Zuo Shaoqing put on his clothes, the embarrassment was over, and then he asked Luo Xiaoliu to tidy up his loose long hair, and his whole person returned to his gentle and clean scholarly appearance.

"You two are laughing. I'm used to staying in the south. I really can't adapt to the cold in the capital, so I got up late."

Luo Xiaoliu pouted secretly, you didn't just get up late?Rarely get up at all, okay?

"That's true, it's just the beauty of being cold when it's cold. Looking at the snow that fell this morning, it makes people have endless aftertaste."

Zuo Shaoqing asked Luo Xiaoliu to serve some refreshments, and then gave them an apologetic gift, "Brother Qu, brother Jiang, please sit down quickly, it is really neglectful."

Qu Changqing felt nothing, waved him to wash up, took some tea and started to eat, not forgetting to greet Jiang Hengzhou, "Brother Hengzhou, try this mung bean cake, it's not worse than Dingshixuan's at all!"

Jiang Hengzhou has been silent since he entered the door. Zuo Shaoqing noticed that his eyes had dimmed after looking around, and thought a little darkly: this great talent came to the humble house for Lu Zheng, right?

What a pity, how could Lu Zheng live in such a place?

After he finished washing, he sat across from the two of them and asked, "When did you two arrive in Kyoto? Where do you live? How do you know that little brother lives here?"

"You have so many questions! But even if you don't ask me, I will tell you. After we parted from you that day, our group stayed in Cangzhou for one night and then went on the road. We have been here for four or five days, and we only live every two days. Xianlai Inn on the next street, I happened to meet Mr. Zuo Er when I went out early this morning, that's how I knew you lived here."

"I see."

Jiang Hengzhou finally opened Jinkou, "Fortunately, I have been waiting for a few days earlier, if there is heavy snow on the road, it will be difficult to leave."

"I didn't expect it to snow in March in the north. I'm afraid many students will be delayed on the road." Qu Changqing said worriedly.

"There is still half a month left before the exam day, so we can make it in time." Zuo Shaoqing thought badly: It would be better if it was too late, and it would be better not to come.

"Indeed, Changqing doesn't have to worry too much. The imperial court has ordered that students from poor families be given cotton-padded bedding and other things. After half a month, it won't be so cold."

Zuo Shaoqing was a little surprised that the court was so humane?

"I heard that it was an official from the Ministry of Officials. Many students traveled long distances to Beijing. They ran out of money and didn't have enough food or clothing to keep warm. I'm afraid they might delay the exam in March."

As soon as Zuo Shaoqing heard that he was an official from the Ministry of Officials, Jiang Che's figure immediately appeared in Zuo Shaoqing's mind, raised his eyebrows, and thought to himself: Doesn't the Jiang Che love to do this kind of good deed to become famous?

Jiang Hengzhou's expression was also a little excited. He lowered his voice and said: "The emperor has just ascended the throne, and the government is unstable. There will always be some officials who will be eliminated. This is a good opportunity for us to show our talents!"

Zuo Shaoqing raised her eyebrows and said in agreement: "Brother Jiang!"

As far as he knew, Emperor Tianfeng relied most on Shang Xianyang, the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, Lu Zheng, Lord of the Town, and Jiang Che, who had just joined the Ministry of Officials, the most.

Shang Xianyang was the head of the civil servants, and he was a bit weird. Under his influence, the civil servants of the entire Dayang court tended to be upright, which was a rare phenomenon of clarity.

Therefore, after Zhan Yuanfeng came to power, the first person to win over was the Chief Assistant, even though the Chief Assistant was on the side of the First Prince back then.

As for Lu Zheng, as long as he still has the military power in his hands, and as long as Beidi's threat is still there, Zhan Yuanfeng will not dare to touch him casually.

Zuo Shaoqing only knew about Jiang Che's outstanding ability in his previous life, but he ignored that the Jiang family was also one of the founding fathers of the country, and Jiang Che was Zhan Yuanfeng's companion. The reason why the department handed him over.

These things can only be understood after Zuo Shaoqing is reborn. Zuo Shaoyan can see Jiang Che's potential before the test, and use himself to kiss Jiang Che. Of course you don’t have to worry about it, but I’ve suffered because of my grades that are not going up or down.” Qu Changqing stuffed a handful of fried soybeans into his mouth, and bit them into bites.

Zuo Shaoqing smiled in a low voice and didn't say much.

Jiang Hengzhou shook his head with a smile and scolded: "This exam is graded anonymously. No one dares to say that they will definitely pass high school. I heard that the chief examiner this year is upright. Many students who wanted to visit his old man in advance were kicked out."

Zuo Shaoqing blinked, "Slapped out?" Fortunately, he didn't join in the fun after listening to Lu Zheng's words, otherwise he would be ashamed if he was beaten out.

"Originally, when we first arrived in Beijing, we made an appointment to visit the next day, but we heard the bad news before we left. However, there are still many students who come to the door one after another."

Qu Changqing echoed from the side: "Fortunately, brother Hengzhou and I backed off, but brother Hengzhou is a teacher and apprentice, so I guess he can win the eyes of the examiner if he goes."

Jiang Hengzhou smiled and did not answer. He did have a letter of recommendation from his teacher in his hand, but it is not a good thing to be too outstanding at this time. "

The big tree attracts the wind, before there is no high school, everything should be cautious.

"It's getting late, and it's time for us to say goodbye." He got up and explained to Zuo Shaoqing: "An anonymous person has sent an invitation to go outside the city today to appreciate plum blossoms."

"Anonymous?" Zuo Shaoqing looked at Qu Changqing suspiciously. At such a critical moment before the exam, they dared to casually go to an anonymous person's appointment. They are not small.

Qu Changqing saw his worry and explained: "Not only brother Hengzhou and I received the invitation, but also many students from the city went there, and the person who posted the post made an appointment with Luming Residence outside the city."

Zuo Shaoqing immediately understood, he had also heard of Lumingju, it is one of the most prestigious elegant gardens in Kyoto, the people who can afford it must be famous nobles, no wonder everyone has no doubts.

Zuo Shaoqing sent them out, and as soon as they left the room, Luo Xiaoliu ran in and handed him a post.

Looking at the familiar plum blossom seal above, Zuo Shaoqing had some bad premonitions, and after reading it, he said to himself, it's also Lumingju, and it's also an anonymous post.

"Haha, it seems we can go together, Shao Qing, go and change!" Qu Changqing pushed him into the room, and stood outside the door with Jiang Hengzhou, smiling.

Zuo Shaoqing doesn't really want to go, but it's worth knowing that this kind of gathering must bring together the best students in the whole of Dayang, and it's not good if it leaves an impression of arrogance on everyone.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Zuo Shaoqing walked out of the room with a brand new look, and cupped his hands at the two waiting outside the door: "I kept you two dear friends waiting for a long time."

Qu Changqing was a little dazed, and stared blankly at Zuo Shaoqing, only to see that he was wearing a sable cap and his eyes looked like a star.The face is like beautiful jade, wearing a mink jacket of the same color, a multicolored silk jade pendant around the waist, and a pair of buckskin boots on the feet, smart and cute, and the temperament has changed drastically.

Jiang Hengzhou had obviously heard about Zuo Shaoqing's situation, and knew that he was just a bastard from a declining family, and he was not to be favored, but judging by his attire and temperament, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the bastard of everyone.

He didn't believe that Qu Changqing would lie to him, so Zuo Shaoqing either had another chance or had already obtained all the support of the Zuo family.

Zuo Shaoqing saw that the two hadn't moved for a long time, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Qu Changqing regained his composure, touched his nose in embarrassment, "No, I thought..." He didn't say the rest of the sentence, but everyone present understood what he meant.

Zuo Shaoqing shrugged and didn't explain much, but just reminded: "Should I go? It may take some time to get out of the city from here."

Jiang Hengzhou and Qu Changqing came in a carriage, so Zuo Shaoqing didn't need to prepare another carriage, and simply got into the same carriage with them.

Chatting all the way, after an hour, the three of them finally arrived at Luming Residence before noon.

After handing over the post, the concierge accepted it neither humble nor overbearing, and then showed the way for the three of them, before receiving the next visitor.

"As expected of a well-known garden, looking at the scenery, it doesn't seem to be bleak in winter at all."

Zuo Shaoqing looked at the garden in front of him and nodded in agreement. This garden was obviously built in the Jiangnan style, and there were many pines and cypresses, camphor trees and green bamboos in it, so even though it had just snowed, it didn't completely cover him up. greenery.

Bypassing the arch of the small bridge, the three of them didn't need any special guidance, and walked inside following the voice of the people.

"Xiangxueyuan." Qu Changqing glanced up at the plaque on the arch, then walked in, stopped after just two steps, and murmured: "Looking at the vast sea of ​​fragrant snow, I want to inscribe my name on the side of my house." . Sure enough!"

Zuo Shaoqing was also stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of him. This is not a garden, it is like a sea of ​​flowers. Looking from a distance, it is impossible to tell whether it is flowers or snow that is pressing on the branches.

"It's so beautiful!" Zuo Shaoqing exclaimed.

"The owner of this Luming Residence is probably far from an ordinary person." Jiang Hengzhou said in a low voice.

"Hey, Jiang Jieyuan is here..." People who knew him saw Jiang Hengzhou, and soon, more and more people came forward to say hello.

It's just that many of them are familiar with Jiang Hengzhou, and some of them know Qu Changqing by the way, but no one knows Zuo Shaoqing's origin. Zuo Shaoqing got impatient with a group of strangers and walked alone towards a road with few people. The dark fragrance of plum blossoms lingers on the tip of the nose, and the eyes are filled with snow-white colors, which makes people feel much brighter.
