Chapter 268 Going to My Husband's House for the First Time
Zhou Ning is treating a female student.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, put her hand on the female student's wrist, and breathed evenly...

Looking at her face, the female student remembered those male classmates' compliments to Zhou Ning, and suddenly blushed.

"Your heart is beating like thunder, I heard it without taking a pulse."

"Ah! What's wrong with this?"

"The problem of cranky thinking. Concentrate, otherwise... Acupuncture." Zhou Ning glanced at the wooden box next to him.

The female student shuddered and quickly concentrated.

The diagnosis is over.

"Stick out your tongue, it's stretching out, not spit out."

"The internal fire is a bit full, and the food is lighter recently."

Zhou Ning sat upright, picked up a pen and began to write the prescription.

The long black hair was hanging from the ears, swaying gently beside the fair cheeks.

She occasionally frowned and thought, and would inadvertently bite her lower lip.

"Teacher assistant, what's wrong with me?" The female student was a little worried.

"It's not a serious problem." Zhou Ning wrote the prescription and handed it over, "Stop thinking about it, and practice more. By the way, is it difficult to concentrate?"

"Yes! How does the teaching assistant know?"

"Your eyes are wandering, it can be seen that you are always thinking about things in your heart, it is not appropriate to go on like this, stay focused."

The female student panicked, "Assistant, my mind is pure."

Zhou Ning sighed, "Are you 17 years old? Looking at the spring color between your brows, it can be seen that you have had some contacts with men recently. My heart is disturbed."

The female student resigned.

Before leaving the door, she couldn't help turning around and asking, "Teacher assistant, do you want to be pure-hearted and ascetic?"

Zhou Ning shook his head, "No, just be specific."

The female student blushed so much that she hesitated to speak.

"Cough cough!"

She opened the door but didn't go out, but someone outside wanted to come in.

"Yang Xuan?"

Zhou Ning, who was sorting out the medical records, suddenly raised his head.

Yang Xuan looked over the female students.

The two looked at each other silently.

The female student felt something was wrong, so she walked out slowly and looked back.

Yeah!

Why is the assistant's face blushing?
The iceberg has changed for thousands of years!

Bah!
Yang Xuan closed the door with his backhand, blocking her view.

"Aning."

"Zi Tai."

The two of them were close to each other, and although they didn't speak, it seemed that everything had been said.

After a long time, Yang Xuan held her hand, "A-Ning, I want to go to your house for a break."

Zhou Ning was startled, then understood what he meant, lowered his head slightly, "Okay."

This is promised!

Yang Xuan couldn't help being ecstatic, Zhou Ning looked up, "Aren't you worried that my family won't allow it?"

Yang Xuan said: "I just want you to agree. As for your family, if you don't agree, I will take you to the northern border. I will make you happy and worry-free in this life."

Yang Xuan was quite envious of the era in the scroll, where a man and a woman did not need their parents' consent to be happy with each other. After getting along for a while, if they felt it was appropriate, they would visit the homes of both parties.

The rate of clubbing mandarin ducks is very low, of course, being well-matched is also an important factor.

An ordinary wage earner naturally wouldn't expect to marry Bai Fumei, even if he did, sooner or later something would change.

This is class.

Yang Xuan was full of confidence.

He hurried to find Liu Qing.

"Go to the official department in the afternoon." Liu Qing took a nap at noon and seemed to be in good spirits.

"By the way, that ramen restaurant is good."

"My lord, can you go earlier in the afternoon?"

"Why?"

"I have something to do this afternoon."

"What's the matter?"

"Go..." Yang Xuan scratched his head, "Go visit the woman's family."

"Huh!" Liu Qing was stunned, "The old man also said a while ago that he was looking for a suitable woman for you. Why, who did you take a fancy to?"

Yang Xuan's parents were far away in Yuanzhou. It is said that before Yang Xuan's fortune, his father gambled a lot and owed a debt that he would never be able to repay in his life, and disappeared with his family.

Most of them are homeless people, so it is hard to find them.

So Liu Qing thought about who would suit him.

"It's from the Imperial College."

"Female classmate? Not bad."

It's a female teaching assistant.

Liu Qing was in a good mood, "So, let's go now."

The so-called people who don't know the seniority of officials when they don't come to Chang'an, and the officials in Chang'an who don't know that they are senior officials when they don't come to Chang'an, Liu Qing, a veteran official, naturally knows this truth.

When he arrived outside the officials' department, Liu Qing smiled and cupped his hands, "Chenzhou Inspector Liu Qing, please see Luo Shangshu."

This is the procedure and the rules, as to whether Luo Cai will see him or not is another matter.

Normally, Menzi would be hypocritical and reserved, but today's Menzi is very sensible.

"Come in and wait."

Liu Qing was a little surprised, one door entertained them, and the other went in to report.

This has to be the treatment of the big officials in the frontier.

Has the old man become amiable recently?

Liu Qing couldn't help stroking his beard and smiling.

But it was the end of the year, and there were a lot of things to do in the bureaucracy, so Luo Cai probably wouldn't see him.

But it was just a routine report, Liu Qing didn't care.

Of course, it would be beneficial to meet Luo Cai in person, for example, to communicate with Luo Cai his thoughts on the structure of officials in Chenzhou, so that it will be easier to operate in the future.

See you again when you're leaving.

Liu Qing has made up his mind.

Go to Tongbao's door and trot back.

"Liu Shijun, Yang Sima, and Shangshu are waiting."

Menzi was sweating profusely, seeing Liu Qing froze for a moment, he urged: "Many people outside are waiting for Shangshu to do something, hurry up."

"Good good."

Luo Cai actually pushed other matters and specially interviewed him. Liu Qing was inevitably flattered by this treatment.

When we arrived outside the duty room, more than ten officials were waiting.

Seeing them coming, someone snorted coldly, obviously very dissatisfied with this kind of behavior of jumping in the queue, but they didn't dare to shout in the official department.

When the two arrived outside the duty room, the clerk nodded, turned around and said, "Shangshu, Liu Shijun and Yang Sima from Chenzhou are here."

Luo Cai's voice came from inside, "Please come in."

The two went in to salute, Luo Cai looked for the document on the case table, and handed it to the little official after finding it, "Send it immediately, don't delay."

"Yes." The little official said goodbye.

The feeling of being very busy made the leisurely Liu Qing feel a little uncomfortable.

"Sit." Luo Cai was very polite.

When the two sat down, Luo Cai's eyes turned, looking from Liu Qing to Yang Xuan.

"How is Chen Zhou?"

As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he understands the local officials' governance from the documents, after all, is a bit harsh and one-sided. He wants to make up for these deficiencies from the mouth and perspective of the local chief officials.

"Chenzhou is facing the three major ministries, as well as Northern Liao and Tanzhou. There are many daily affairs. In addition to external threats, the officials are very busy..."

This is a cryptic statement: Can the officials sent to Chenzhou by the Ministry of Officials be more practical?

The old man's words can be said to be watertight, and there is no fault to be found.

Luo Cai obviously understood what he said, nodded and said: "The northern border is not easy, I know that."

Liu Qing didn't expect him to be so talkative, so he said the words that were suppressed in his heart.

"Luo Shangshu, a few years ago, officials were able to mount horses to kill the enemy and dismount herdsmen. In recent years, officials...forgive me for saying it bluntly. There are more poems and paintings, more stalkers, but less work."

Luo Cai sighed, "This old man also knows about it. But it has something to do with the world, so you should know about it."

"Yes." Liu Qing sighed, "It's just a little sad."

In the original Tang Dynasty, scholars were proud of being able to kill the enemy when riding a horse, and being able to herdsmen when dismounting.Gradually until now, everyone is proud of being a high-ranking official with a generous salary, and is proud of being an official with ease.And the ethos of both civil and military skills was gradually suppressed by luxury.

"Today's officials want to stay in Chang'an wholeheartedly. Naturally, there is no need to fight to stay in Chang'an. Then, why waste time practicing? It's better to concentrate on studying and specializing in business. This old man is also quite annoyed by such things, and he has also beat them, but The world is like this, and it will not happen overnight if you want to change.”

"Yes." Liu Qing just raised some of his worries about the current officialdom, which can be regarded as a kind of sentimental feedback.

Luo Cai seemed quite appreciative, and then he praised Liu Qing's achievements in Chenzhou.

"Do you want to come to Chang'an?"

Liu Qing was taken aback by Luo Cai's question.

He said slowly: "It's a lie to say that you don't want to. I want to return to Chang'an as an official even in my dreams."

This is human nature, otherwise it would be false.

"But every time such thoughts arise, the lower officials will think about Chen Zhou and Northern Xinjiang. Leave Chen Zhou and go to Chang'an, the old man thinks."

Liu Qing looked up, "But I'm afraid that I won't be able to sleep every night when I arrive in Chang'an."

"Why?"

"Haunted by dreams...it's Beijiang!"

Luo Cai nodded, "It is because of you waiting in the northern border that the Tang Dynasty can enjoy peace. Thank you for your hard work."

Yang Xuan noticed that when Luo Cai mentioned the word "Taiping", it seemed to be sarcasm.

Maybe I got it wrong.

Liu Qing immediately resigned.

Luo Cai got up to see him off, the treatment was not low.

"There is no need to send them off." Liu Qing said with a smile.

Luo Cai suddenly laughed and said, "You have nothing to say?"

Liu Qing looked back at Yang Xuan.

What does Luo Cai mean?

Yang Xuan cupped his hands in silence.

Liu Qing is here, regarding Chenzhou's official administration, every word Yang Xuan mentions is an insult to Liu Qing.

Shangguan is here, it's not your turn to speak!

This is officialdom!

But Liu Qing laughed and said, "Just talk."

Luo Cai glanced at Liu Qing, thinking that the relationship between the two seems to be cordial.

"The last time you came to see the old man, you only wanted to stay in the northern border, so what did you say...you can wipe out one of the three major tribes before next autumn, what's the matter?"

Yang Xuan said: "Fortunately, life is not disgraceful!"

Later, the two left.

"I've been so busy recently, I went to the Ministry of War and asked about the three major departments."

Luo Cai continued to serve as director.

Later, the little official came back.

"how?"

"The Ministry of War said that according to the battle report just sent a while ago, Beiliao provoked, and Taiping County, Chenzhou took the initiative to attack and destroy Vaxie!"

Luo Cai gave a light snort, "Who leads the army?"

"Sima Yang Xuan!"

Lord Shangshu's laughter came from the duty room.

"A young man must practice what he says, good!"

……

Yang Xuan is preparing gifts.

"Suzaku!"

"I'm here."

"What should I give to my husband's house for the first time?"

"Tobacco and alcohol!"

"I'm so turned off!"

"I do not know!"

"Is there something you don't know?"

"I don't know much, for example, when did Zhou Zun become your father-in-law?"

"Sooner or later."

"Little Xuanzi, your shameless appearance is quite like Cao Mengde."

Yang Xuan took people shopping on the street.

"What a Chang'an city!"

"Hey! Look at that tall building, Chun Yu, look, how beautifully carved are the cornices?"

"Yes! It's really like a fairyland."

"Look again, hey! Those women are really beautiful."

"What are you looking at? I dug out your eyes!"

A woman scolded.

"Why? Can't you see it?"

"Look at your mother!"

"Chun Yu, forget it."

The woman left cursing.

Yang Xuan left the shop with big and small bags.

He still wears official uniform.

The guards behind him carried horizontal knives and wore armor.

This is the behavior of frontier officials, who are always ready to fight.

There was a general standing in front of him, and he cupped his hands, "Shi Zhongtang, General of Southern Xinjiang, this..."

Yang Xuan took a look and saw that he was a general, so he said: "Chenzhou Sima, Yang Xuan."

"Chenzhou, Northern Xinjiang?"

"Exactly."

Shi Zhongtang smiled honestly, "When I saw Yang Sima, I felt kind. Where does Yang Sima live? I'll buy you a drink later."

This person is a little familiar!

Yang Xuan said: "I've been busy recently, I don't know when I'll be free, thank you very much."

Shi Zhongtang smiled and said: "Just say it, I'll go find Sima Yang when I'm free."

Is this person trying to make friends?

Yang Xuan was full of thoughts about himself and Zhou Ning, so he said casually, "Turn back!"

He hurried away.

Shi Zhongtang turned around and watched him go away, Chunyu said: "It's just a Sima, and he's still far away in the northern border, why bother with him."

Shi Zhongtang's eyes became more serious, "A Sima with many attendants, this is of good background. He just bought the Sichuan Brocade, which is of good financial resources. Besides, he is quite indifferent to me, which shows that he doesn't care. A general, what do you think of?"

"The people he associates with are either rich or noble." Chun Yu praised: "The general has outstanding vision!"

Shi Zhongtang looked at him, "I learned another word, not bad."

What gift do you give when you meet your husband for the first time?
For this reason, Yang Xuan went to a matchmaker for advice, and gave nine coins, and the matchmaker explained the rules of giving gifts to those noble people in Chang'an.However, Yang Xuan knew that most of them were rumors.

In the end, the matchmaker slapped his fat chest frothingly and swore that he was telling the truth.She also asked Yang Xuan if she wanted to propose a marriage, and she would give her a [-]% discount.

It doesn't even work if you break a bone!

Yang Xuan felt that the matchmaker was a little too much, so he got up and prepared to go out.

The matchmaker murmured, "I proposed marriage to a nobleman back then! Young man, don't underestimate this slave!"

The old thief asked casually, "Who?"

"The eldest son of the county magistrate's family in Chang'an County!"

Yang Xuan tossed and tossed in the market for a long time, his plain clothes were wrinkled, he smiled, "Thank you very much."

"Hey! Young man, don't go!"

"Do you know the rules of the noble family?"

"Know something."

The old thief turned around and smiled, "I didn't bring a knife today."

Who can carry a knife into the street?

The bustard suddenly understood, her eyes lit up, and she wanted to grab this big client.

"Twenty percent off!"

"It's useless to break a bone."

Yang Xuan went out with a smile, "It's rare for her to be so dedicated, and give me another nine dollars."

The old thief gave it to the matchmaker, but the matchmaker regretted it more and more... If such a generous client can take over his business, how much should the reward be?
The old thief chased him out.

"Lang Jun is more generous."

"It's a happy event."

Yang Xuan took a bath and changed his clothes. He never liked incense, but he hesitated for a while before going out.

"Hey! Old thief, do you think you want incense?"

Mr. Lang is really timid... The old thief dare not expose, "How about a sachet?"

"Buy one." Yang Xuan didn't think right, "Forget it, I'm afraid I won't like it, so let's go like this."

After tossing and tossing for a long time, Yang Xuan went to the Zhou family.

Knock knock knock!
Door open.

The door glanced outside.

"Who are you looking for?"

Yang Xuan cleared his throat and said loudly: "Yang Xuan, please see Duke Zhou!"

"Bah!"

The side door slammed shut.

"not see!"
