Tian Yuqiao lay on the bamboo bed in the backyard, eating the big cherry just picked from the mountain and a mouthful of strawberry sand ice. That's pleasant. It's not too much to say it's heinous.
All day long, there were sounds of craftsmen beating stones with hammers, while the people who helped on the mountain were sweating all day. If there were not enough cold plum soup from the Tian family to give them, it is estimated that many people would suffer from heatstroke now.
"Xiaoyu, what's the situation on the mountain? Have we been back for a long time? Hey, it's boring. I don't know how the child in my mother's belly is and whether he is naughty."
"Young lady, you can be a county leader now. You are comfortable. You are running back and forth to the mountain for you these days. Fortunately, with the help of young master Hao'er, more than half of the mountain has been repaired."
When she finished, she brought up the cantaloupe that had been cold in the well. It was biting and splashing with juice.
"The melon just picked is delicious. When it is transported to the Imperial City, the melon pedicle will wither." Xiaoyu commented.
Tian Yuqiao also took a cantaloupe from the tray, cut it into pieces with a knife, and ate it slowly. Ash led those half big little milk dogs, smelled the smell of cantaloupe, and all ran over with their short and thick tails.
After giving them all some cantaloupes, Tian Yuqiao looked up at the sky. Looking at the little white clouds floating in the blue sky through the mottled gap of tree shadow, and occasionally two swallows fly by, it's really comfortable and tight on such a pleasant day.
Looking at Zhao's busy in the front and back yard, the two daughter-in-law were instructed by her, like a top. It is far away from the struggle in the court, and there is no foul entertainment.
She really wants to stay here if she can.
"If you say so, the young master should have almost finished the examination now. I don't know how he did in the examination. After all, other people are very old."
"Others don't know your young master's ability. Don't you know? I'm afraid he can't control himself. If he performs too well, there will be constant trouble."
At this time, the emperor was competing with a group of ministers in the court.
Neither is Lord Wu nor Prince Jing. Now the hall has been empty for less than half, and those empty positions are still waiting for newcomers to come and supplement.
"Marquis Wu has been out for more than a few months now, and good news has been reported frequently. Those old foxes have been hidden in the court for a long time. Alas, I can't find it until now, and the little girl in the house of marquis Pingxi found it out. Don't you blush when I am full of civil and military affairs?"
"Your Majesty, the discovery of this longevity cream was timely, which didn't cause great disaster. Now Marquis Wu has gone with the division of tiger and wolf to clear up the rebellion, and he should return triumphantly in a few days. Even if the Tian family has made great contributions to the imperial court, your majesty has given his family a hereditary Marquis, which is a great grace. Now he has appointed the Yellow mouth child as a bachelor, which is directly an official, I think Not right. "
"Zuo Xiang is right. Your majesty, the old minister also thinks that the Tian family children should not be appointed officials when they were young."
The ministers almost fell on their knees and begged his majesty to take back their orders.
"Hehe, I not only want him to be an official, but also accept him as a disciple of the emperor. You old people are so pedantic. Now I still rely on the Tian family to help garrison the northwest frontier. This time, the little girl of the Tian family led a team to mess up the Hu people. You don't know anything. It's good to talk nonsense here."
The lower head immediately whispered, because Tian Yuqiao's trip to the Hu people was privately explained by the emperor. This incident did not disturb the local government, so the courtiers were not clear.
What the emperor wanted to see was the ministers' faces like swallowing half a fly.
He said with a smile, "that's not enough. A teenage girl put forward the Tuen policy to me. After you go back, look in the mirror and see if you are worthy to stand in the court and talk. The Tian family has made great achievements this time. I only gave them a marquis, but I treated them badly."
"Your Majesty's words are timely. I take the liberty. But it's better to keep the youngest son of the Tian family in the Imperial City, so that Pingxi hou can be restrained and abide by his duty."
The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "Aiqing means to make me threaten Pingxi to wait for my young son in the Imperial City as a threat?"
"I was terrified, but I didn't dare. However, the talents and talents shown by the two children of the Tian family are really worrying. Now, since your majesty also said that the children of the Tian family performed well in the examination, it's also the best policy to accept him as a disciple of the son of heaven."
The emperor laughed and said, "retreat from the dynasty. You have some insight."
In the following days, the doorsill of Tian's house was almost trampled.
Many children of aristocratic families sent people to the Tian family to send worship posts, saying they wanted to see the young scholar.
There are many identities of the prince in the Imperial City, which can be said to have rotten streets. But this is the first official who has been admitted by himself with genuine talent and learning at a young age.
After all, this year was the first time that the emperor used this method to select virtuous people. Unexpectedly, he chose such a small man as his head.
Mr. Liang's situation there is not good. He is invited by the presidents of other colleges every day. For example, he asks how to teach good students like Tian Yutang.
Although the old man was a little tired, he enjoyed the life admired and complimented by those old friends. If such days could last forever, he would be happy.
"Hahaha, we Wulang, he was smart since childhood. I remember he was only six years old at that time. He said he didn't study and slept in class. I was furious. Guess what? He could recite it backwards."
"Woo ~"
"Old Liang, are you really sure that the child is gifted, not what you taught later? It's absolutely impossible. I heard from my disciples that the questions in your Majesty's examination are very tricky, especially the three palace questions, which your majesty came up with at will. Even my 15-year-old brother can't answer them."
"Hahaha, how else can we say that this is the gap between people? I'm sure my disciples are outstanding, and your eyes are not as poisonous as I am. I'm lucky to be the first to see such a good material. If there are disciples, I'll live in vain." master Liang said meaningfully.
