The Heroine’s Route is Wrong

Cao Jing did not expect to be summoned by the prince. Before he could explain clearly to his wife and children, he rushed to Pingyang Mansion from Hongtong County with his guards.

This incident did not disturb too many people. When he arrived, Prince Luangjia was about to leave Pingyang Mansion, and officials from Pingyang Mansion were relieved when he sent away his Royal Highness.

During the prince’s trip, everyone did not get any money for the disaster relief. The gentry had to donate money and organize the relief. Liu Haowen, who was dispatched by the prince, was here to urge the victims to return to their hometown. Nevertheless, the prince did not move them, this is the best result.

Pingyang Mansion was one of the worst-hit areas during the abnormal flooding in the east of the river, and the Jinzhong Plain was also one of the worst-hit areas. In addition, there was another area to the west of Luliang Mountain and along the mainstream of the Yellow River. Jinzhong Plain is the center of Hedong Road, close to Taiyuan, they naturally want to go.

After going north for an hour, Guo Yanjin agreed to dismount his horse and rest. Some guards had already put soft cushions under a tree.

Cao Jing was taken to see the prince, feeling agitated. He was originally a scholar, but he was reduced to a rank nine official like the county inspector. He was really unwilling. He did not expect to be summoned by the prince. .

The man under the tree was dressed in an ivory brocade robe, with a face like jade, a body like a bamboo, and a graceful temperament. He was washing his hands with the water from the guards.

There were a few people sitting beside him, and on the left was a young man who looked like a panan, dressed in a black brocade robe.

"Minister Cao Jing see His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

Guo Yanjin looked at him for a moment, and was slightly surprised to see his appearance in his forties and lean body.

"Cao Jing, Jinshi in the 14th year of Yongsheng."

Cao Jingzhi wanted to burst into tears, and kowtowed: "The minister is exactly."

"Flat body."

"His Royal Highness!"

Guo Yanjin was sitting on the cushion, and Cao Jing stood up feeling condescending, and Guo Yanjin asked him to sit anywhere.

Guo Yanjin said: "You are a Jinshi, and you have been a scholar for decades, how come you have been reduced to a nine-grade inspection?"

Literati have a very self-confident temperament, and the boundaries between civil and military are also clear. Jiupin inspection is only the guard official of important customs and towns, and the real sesame official. Generally speaking, the expatriation of jinshi is at least a county prince. If it goes down, the temperament of literati will rise, and most of them resign and go back to become a squire. The squire who went back was a wealthy householder who owned the land and received domestic slaves.

Cao Jing said: "Three years ago, the junior minister was unfavorable in disaster relief, and his political performance was evaluated as inferior in successive years, so he was demoted as a patrol inspector. However, the junior minister dedicated himself to serving the court in a cold window for ten years. Although the rank of the patrol prosecutor is small, he still has to go on."

Guo Yanjin ticked the corner of his mouth and smiled faintly: "Everyone says you don't know how to work around. The officials in the entire Pingyang Mansion don't like to associate with you, but you can still speak alone."

Cao Jing has a look of wind and frost on his face, and his words are bitter, saying: "You can be mediocre..."

Guo Yanjin waved his hand and said, "There are many late bloomers in this world. Lu Shang and Zhang Cang were both older than you when they joined the scholars. You are a scholar in your twenties, and you are a young man."

Guo Yanjin said, the action was extremely natural, and when he handed the cloth towel to Zhou Zhen, Cao Jing's heart surged. He understood that this was the only opportunity for his life to change and to display his ambitions.

The prince Lu Shang and Zhang Cang encouraged him, how could he stand on his own, and knelt down and bowed down again: "His Royal Highness, how can the minister, He De, dare to compare with the sages. If the minister can see His Highness, if he can advise his Highness and expel a county For the malpractice of one government, the ministers died without complaint."

Guo Yanjin said: "Since you have come to Gu, it's not too late to say anything about your advice. Do you know why Gu summoned you?"

"The minister doesn't know, please make it clear from your highness."

Guo Yanjin spontaneously pointed to the handsome boy next to him, and said: "It is the young man Zhao who said that those who are not gregarious in the officialdom and who do not agree with the superiors who dare to make trouble are either hard bones or real talents. You are the only people like Pingyang Mansion, so I just want to see it."

Cao Jing didn't think that he was a low-ranking official, seeing that all his ambitions became empty, but it was such a young man who helped him go to Qingyun, and couldn't help but hold his fist and salute: "I have seen Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Qingyi smiled slightly and said, "Inspector Cao is not very polite. Since you are committed to serve your country and vote for your Highness, I have something to warn you more presumptuously."

"Prince Zhao, please show me."

"It's said that fame and fortune can only be obtained directly, not in music. You are a scholar and a high-ranking scholar, and you have a bit of true learning. However, you have been in officialdom for many years, and you have seen many national thieves. But your highness can employ people. , A national soldier who is in need of iron and steel, I recommend you to be in front of your highness, because you are fancy to your aura. Your highness, the Lord of forgiveness, can tolerate you to make mistakes, but as a minister, he will serve the country with fairness and his highness with loyalty. Staying in the history is righteous."

Cao Jing thought to himself: Who is this Young Master Zhao, who is so big in front of His Royal Highness. If you dare to say such a thing, your Royal Highness will not be annoyed? Even a confidant, these words are also a bit arrogant.

But when the prince said that he recommended him, he was still grateful. He said, "Thank you, Lord Zhao, for the suggestion."

Guo Yanjin smiled and said: "Ji Qing has put his heart to heart with you. Since you have been in Hedong for many years, what you have seen and heard is naturally more and deeper than loneliness. This way to Taiyuan, you will stroke your heart and report again."

As they were talking, they suddenly saw two guards grabbing three children. They were ragged and the guards didn’t take a heavy hand, but the two boys were clever and slipped away, but a girl was caught. Then the two boys begged for mercy.

Zhao Qingyi heard the voice, walked over, and asked: "What's the matter?"

The guard was one of the people who had followed Zhao Qingyi before. He had already admired or admired her very much, and replied: "These dolls are sneaky and probing, I don't know if they are the spies."

One of the children shouted: "Gongong, we are not bad guys."

Zhao Qingyi saw that the child's eyes were clear, but turned around thiefly, a three-point liking was born in his heart, and said, "What do you call me?"

The child said, "Gongong, Dangli is outside the county gate. You saved us. Have you forgotten?"

Zhao Qingyi remembered this and smiled and said, "So it's you. If it doesn't rain anymore, why don't you go back to your hometown?"

The child said, "What are you going to do when you return to your hometown? The family is gone. The original two acres of land in the family will disappear if the water is flooded."

Zhao Qingyi said: "The water will always recede, can't it still be cultivated?"

The child spoke clearly and said, "Without the title deed, the county grandfather would not recognize it."

Zhao Qingyi couldn't help frowning and asked, "Where are you from?"

The child said, "Taiping County, you have to go south to get there. There are hundreds of miles from this place."

Zhao Qingyi asked the guards to let go of a few children, but the child said: "My father and mother are gone, you are a good person, so you bought us."

Another boy and a girl also kowtow to Zhao Qingyi.

The ancients selling themselves as slaves is also a way to survive. If you follow a good master, it is much better than being a commoner.

Zhao Qingyi saw that the child was clever and articulate, and the other was not good at speaking, but only then saw that he and the guards were also clever, and he moved in his heart and asked, "What is your name?"

The articulate child said: "My name is Zhang Goudan."

The girl said, "My name is Wang Chun'er."

Another boy said: "My name is Li Gener..."

Zhao Qingyi couldn't help but laugh, the name Goudan is very kind.

"You want to follow me, you are terribly hard-working? My rules are also very many."

Chun'er said: "Yun Gong is a good person."

Zhao Qingyi said: "If you don't do things well and don't follow the rules, I will beat and scold others."

Goudan said: "Then I do good and obey the rules, will my benefactor still beat people?"

"That...not necessarily."

...

Zhao Qingyi took three small attendants and took them to visit Guo Yanjin. Guo Yanjin took a look and said: "How do you think of taking them, we are not short of people to wait."

Zhao Qingyi smiled and said, "You don't lack people, I lack people."

Guo Yanjin said: "Zhou Zhen and others are not enough for you?"

"How is this the same? Zhou Zhen and the others are yours. They are of good quality, so how can they be sent arbitrarily?"

"What can a few kids do?"

Goudan didn't know the identity of Guo Yanjin. At this time, seeing him calmly, he boldly said: "I am very capable! I can herd cattle, plant the land, collect firewood, and burn fire."

Zhao Qingyi smiled with satisfaction and said: "Follow me, I have to give you a big name. Zhang Goudan, uh..."

Zhao Qingyi couldn't help thinking of Yuan Wuji, "Big Brother Erdan", so he said, "Your name is Zhang Wuji."

Look at Chun'er and ask: "Your name is Chun'er, but you were born in spring?"

Chun'er said: "I was born on April 27."

Zhao Qingyi smiled and said, "It's called Wanchun, Wang Wanchun."

Gen'er asked: "Yangong, what is my name?"

Zhao Qingyi unfolded his folding fan, thinking that Zhang Wuji was called Zhang Wuji, and the surname Li could not be too weak.

"Your name is Li Xunhuan."

Guo Yanjin said: "What frivolous name do you have?"

Zhao Qingyi smiled and said: "It's good if people don't wander around."

The children again thanked Engong for giving the name, but Zhao Qingyi said, "Don’t call me Engong anymore. You can be an apprentice with me. Come in and listen to me. If you dare to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestor, then I But the door is about to be cleaned up."

The three children shook their heads and swear to listen to the master all their lives. Guo Yanjin looked at these three little beggar-like children, and thought that they had a good fate and could be her apprentices.

Guo Yanjin's thoughts changed: she would have more apprentices, and even if she wanted to abandon him in the future, he would find her with many clues, so he happily accepted it.

Zhao Qingyi had three more apprentices. They rode a car with Cao Jing and went all the way north to the Jinzhong Plain.

At this time, the abnormal weather in spring has passed, and the days have been fine, but there are quite a few victims. The most important thing for farmers at this time is to catch up with the summer planting and the construction of water conservancy channels.

Arrived in Taiyuan a few days ago. There are no governors, governors and other general officials in the dynasty. Hedong Chief Envoy and Taiyuan Army Jiedu's civil and military officials greeted them outside Taiyuan.
