Prime Minister

Chapter 71
Today the county school releases the rankings.

Zhang Shi drove a mule cart to send Zhang Yue, Guo Xueyan, and Guo Lin into the city together.

This time around, it was different.

The mule's fur is bright and bright, and Zhang Shi is also wearing a brocade robe, which is extravagant.

Along the way, the neighbor asked, "Where is Zhang Daguan dressed like a new uncle?"

"Go to the county school to see the list!" Zhang Shi said loudly.

"Didn't the three officials become talented scholars?"

Zhang Shi smiled and said, "Why don't you send his senior brother to take a look?"

"The officials are really warmhearted."

Zhang Shi drove the mule cart all the way into the city, and Zhang Yue couldn't help but say, "Brother, this is not the way to the county school."

Zhang Shi smiled and said, "Go to have breakfast first, eat and drink enough, and then watch the list. Anyway, the list is not running. What do you think, Mr. Guo?"

"All high-ranking officials make up their minds."

The mule cart turned, Zhang Yue understood Zhang Shi's place, this was not the tea restaurant where the eldest brother was the eldest uncle.

It really corresponds to the sentence 'Rich and noble do not return to so-and-so, such as brocade clothing at night'.

Zhang Shi parked the mule cart, but seeing all the way through the door, all the people who used to be acquaintances greeted him, even the shopkeeper Xu.

Zhang Shi said: "Send the third brother and his senior brother to the county school to read the list, and stop by here to eat a bowl of sheep noodle soup!"

"Three lives are fortunate, we are afraid that the high officials will be rich and rich, so we won't remember us."

Zhang Shi smiled and said: "Don't dare to be, what kind of friendship do we have, let's not forget each other!

After he finished speaking, he hugged the crowd.

Everyone in the store is happy.

"A high official is righteous!"

"The high-ranking officials are really nostalgic people!"

"Please invite among the three officials."

Zhang Shi sat down with a face full of spring breeze.

Zhang Yue laughed secretly, the elder brother has made the phrase 'don't forget the riches and honors' as a mantra these days.

Zhang Yue watched the back kitchen busy. Although the tea restaurant sold some mutton, they mainly used mutton bones to make soup.

In history, Su Shi was banished to Huizhou by Zhang Dun and almost died.Huizhou is a poor place, only one sheep is killed every day.After Su Shi finished eating lychees, he became greedy for mutton. Since he had no money to buy mutton, he bought mutton bones and went home to make soup.Su Shi also wrote a letter to his younger brother, you eat mutton every day, but you don't know the deliciousness of mutton soup.Su Shi repeatedly said that this mutton bone soup is delicious and so on.The only fly in the ointment is that I ate all the meat off the bones of the lamb, and the dogs around me were a little unhappy.

The same is true for the lamb soup in the tea restaurant, where the lamb bones are boiled in a large pot.Drinking a bowl of steaming, fragrant lamb soup with the cake is really satisfying.

As for the mutton, only so much has been removed from the mutton bones, so I can only say that it tastes meaty.Even so, it is not affordable for ordinary people.

After everyone sat down, diners came in one after another, and people chatted one after another.

"Have you heard? Zhao Yasi is dead?"

"Don't you know? This matter has been widely spread."

Zhang Shi and Zhang Yue couldn't help but prick up their ears, they had already heard about it.

As for the truth, there are also various versions of the rumors, such as Feijian killing people, being poisoned by cronies, and so on.

Among the versions of various rumors, it feels more reliable that Zhao Yasi's handle was taken, and in order to protect the family, Zhao Yasi committed suicide.

"These subordinate officials should be killed if they are innocent." One person sighed.

"I can't say this here. Zhao Yasi has a good reputation on weekdays, but because of his notoriety, he has been used by the people below him. Even so, there are still reasons. If you can't sue him, you won't be able to get through to the sky."

"Now it's settled. A letter cost him his life. Do you think Zhang Erlang-kun is amazing?"

Zhang Shi and Zhang Yue ate the noodles silently. What they were concerned about was not the death of Zhao Yasi, but the letter.

You have the time to write a letter to Zhao Yasi, but you don't have the time to write a letter to your own family?

Even if you change your name, isn't the King of Lanling Gao Changgong also renamed the King of Zaozhuang Gao Changgong?

But the family can't deny it.

Zhang Yue sighed: "Brother, you said second brother, at least send a letter. Otherwise, the family will not be able to put down the gifts. I think you will take a break from accepting people for the past few days, in case the second brother does not recognize us. , isn't it terribly embarrassing?"

Zhang Shi heard the words and said angrily: "Third brother, don't talk about me alone, how many girls have you dated in the past few days? Granny Ya is always walking around with us, you are so picky!"

Zhang Yue couldn't help but put down his chopsticks, how about I have a blind date?I have already traveled to the Song Dynasty, so I am not allowed to understand the local folk customs and customs, so as to lay the foundation for future reforms?
Guo Lin, who was silent on the side, assisted: "Senior official, junior brother knows that after the second official has become a jinshi, he has not bothered to read the book for the past few days..."

"Senior brother, don't talk about me, think about Miao Sanniang!"

Guo Lin looked at him resentfully when he heard the words, but Guo Xueyan's face was already blue, and after a while, he sighed: "Lin Er, Miao Sanniang, our family can't afford to be high, don't think about it anymore, after a while, Dad, tell you about the family!"

"Father, baby... I know."

The group set off again and headed to the gate of the county school.

But seeing here is already a sea of ​​people, full of students coming to see the list.

Zhang Shi, Guo Xueyan has squeezed to see the list.

Zhang Yue sat on the mule carriage with a nonchalant expression on his face. As for Guo Lin, he was a little uneasy, and even vomited on the carriage.

"This sheep noodle soup is a waste!"

Guo Lin couldn't help but feel a pity. Zhang Yue patted Guo Lin on the back and said, "Senior brother, you haven't read the list yet, so you went to Half-Life."

Guo Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Who cares about watching the list? I just missed Sanniang."

"Senior brother, it is common for life to be unsatisfactory."

Guo Lin nodded and said, "I know, in fact, I don't need to tell Dad, I also know that Sanniang can't climb high, and now I'm really giving up, and I won't think about it again in the future."

Zhang Yue said: "Yes, sir, didn't just tell you about the marriage, think about the good, it's called losing the horse."

"Junior brother, don't be sad. Although your second brother doesn't look down on you, there is still a senior brother." Guo Lin patted his chest.

Zhang Yue said angrily, "Thank you, senior brother, for your praise."

At this time, seeing that Zhang Shi had already squeezed out of the crowd, Zhang Yue and Guo Lin jumped out of the mule cart together.

"Where's Mr. Guo?" Zhang Shi asked.

"Didn't you watch the list with your brother?" Zhang Yue asked rhetorically.

"I'm gone in an instant. Sir! Sir!"

Everyone saw that Guo Xueyan walked out from another place in a disheveled manner, wiping tears as he walked, and snot bubbles came out.

Amidst the clamor of voices, Guo Xueyan saw Zhang Yue and Guo Lin running towards him, and they looked at each other.

"Father (sir)."

Guo Xuejia suddenly squatted down and hugged his knees and cried, "Yue'er, Lin'er, you all took it! Take it all! I'm not in a dream, right?"

After speaking, Guo Xuejia grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, pinched it in the palm of his hand and muttered to himself, "Really, it's true."

"Senior brother, you took it, haha, we will enter the county school together."

Guo Lin had a look of disbelief, but Zhang Yue patted him on the shoulder vigorously.

Zhang Shi couldn't help laughing when he saw this, standing beside Guo Xueji with his hips on his shoulders and said, "Sir, look at them two brothers!"

Guo Xuejia tearfully said, "I, Guo Zheng, have taught two talents now! No one will look down on me in the future."

"Sir, is this right? You are highly respected, who dares to look down on you, where are you going to celebrate today? I'm here to help."

Guo Xueyan said quickly, "Why are you embarrassed to disturb you for days?"

"Sir, you are polite to me again!"

Zhang Yue watched Zhang Shi and Guo Xuejian push each other and couldn't help but think, there is no such thing as 'Don't forget each other', it is true that 'Gou Fugui eats together'.
