Did the third place winner regret it today?

Chapter 71

The family asked, "Do you want to stay overnight?"
"I want a son."
"Okay. Let's go to the palace now. Who's going to come over?"
"Gao Jungui. Let me write the document for you."

When the list of on-duty personnel is ready, it will be delivered to the palace early in the morning. Copies will be placed at the palace gate to verify the corresponding personnel entering and leaving.
All documents that need to be temporarily replaced have to be stamped with a seal.
The superior wrote the document and asked the palace family to ask the sun-chairman scholar. Then it was worth it. "Yang Shilu had diarrhea and came to stay overnight. It was just right for Jiyun to come back."

When Jia Wen asked, he had just arrived for work on time, but Master Liu had already returned from the morning court.
Scholar Liu gave the document a seal, congratulated Lai Jiawen on her marriage, and said with a smile, "Yesterday, His Majesty was still talking about your visit to the palace, and asked you whether you should come back after getting married."
Because of this, the scholar started talking nonsense when he returned to the hospital. When the superior heard about it, he pushed the scholar back to take over the shift today.
Even a simple little thing can bring so much emotion.
Jia Wen said, "Thank you for your concern, Master."
Mr. Liu twirled his beard and smiled.

The concierge informed the owner the next day, "Everyone has arrived, the editor's son is here——"
Ping Mo waited for a moment and stood up quickly. "What's up?"
"Hinomiya."
"it is good."

Bao Jin was very excited.
Just now Rong Pingmo was talking to Nian about picking up and dropping off Jiahan in and out of the palace, and now he immediately put it into practice.
Everyone quickly harnessed their horses and went to the gate of the courtyard to greet the family.
Jia Wen Lai Lai told Ping Mo Zhi "You have to stay overnight."
Pingmo pointed to Huaisheng and Bei and said, "Go back and get the things tomorrow."

Pingmo had just told Baojin about this. When he was on duty in the palace, he slept in the main room at night. The main room also shared bedding, but because it was a shared bed, it was relatively dirty.
Everyone dislikes it, it's basically useful, and everyone brings their own bedding rolls.
I was supposed to ask for the night watchman today, so I didn't bring him with me.

The family asked about the horse that was coming up, and it rushed to the palace.
The courtyard was far away from the palace, so it took a long time to arrive.
Bao Jin and Wang Baogui had seen the palace before, but they could only watch from a distance, so they dared to approach. Now he asked the Gong family and found a way to get to the city gate and get in front of the guards holding the palace halberds.

Jia asked him to get off the horse and said to Pingmo, "I told my family that I will stay overnight today."
Pingmo said, "It's time." He also said, "Bring the things later, and the palace will give you a date to deliver them."
He handed me another purse to live on.
The family asked, so he took it and put it in his sleeve, said "OK", and went to the palace gate.

It is easy to go up Pingmo and see the palace there.
Bao Jin stretched his neck and looked eagerly. It was the first time for Nian to see anything, so everything was new to him. Ping Mo had just told Nian about something, and it just happened to correspond to what he had seen.

Jia Wen submitted the documents, Yu Daowei verified them and registered them, then released them.
Fortunately, I forgot to say, "I heard you're getting married? Congratulations."
It's true that when Bo Jiyu came to Wei, there were a lot of gossips and private affairs in the palace. In fact, in the past ten years, there have been three imperial examinations. The appearance of the first two was ordinary. It was not until this year that a handsome and worthy of the title of the third place winner finally appeared.

It is hard to say how knowledgeable the Tanhua scholar is, but it is important that he is good-looking and can provide people with after-dinner gossip.
He was born with eyebrows like black jade and eyes like stars, which fully satisfied everyone's yearning for a "Tanhua Lang", but he naturally attracted much attention.

After thanking the family, he took out the purse that Ping Mo had just handed over and said, "I'll give everyone some extra wedding wine."
The guards all smiled happily and said auspicious blessings such as "May you have a baby soon" and Xiaogong took over.

The family's figure disappeared as soon as it passed through the doorway.
Bao Jin asked, "What about us?"
Pingmo said, "We still have to wait for Huaisheng and Beisheng to bring the bedding and snacks to be delivered to the store. Seeing that the eunuchs of those young boys are not there, the young men will be responsible for this. Remember to take care of it when delivering things, so that you don't have to do it yourself. We can go back after it is delivered to the store."
"That one is coming?"
"I'll be on duty soon. I'll leave the palace soon today and come back to pick you up at this time tomorrow."
"oh oh."

When Jia Wen entered the palace, he went to the courtyard to take over his shift with his colleague Gao Jungui every day.
Gao Jungui asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Yang Shilu is ill and has come to report."
"Oh--ha." Gao Jungui managed to hold back a yawn, covering his mouth and nose with his sleeves.

Home question: "Didn't sleep well?"
Gao Jungui said, "Your Majesty summoned me last night to ask questions."
"when?"
"It should be at the beginning of the Yin period."

The day of Mao is just getting light, and the court goes to court. The day of Yin is late at night.
Jia Wen nodded and said, "Your Majesty is respectful and diligent, and the court is solemn."
Gao Jungui said it was "…just the right time."
In fact, everyone knows it - when you get older, you sleep less and less. You wake up in the middle of the night and go back to sleep after waking up.
What's the point of sleeping well in the palace? Just call the person on duty over for a chat.
Of course, it is too strict to say chatting. The official term is consultation and asking is correct.

As a literary official, the most important job is to do academic research, give lectures, and compile classics. Among them, compiling history is the highest academic goal. But such heavyweight projects can only be caught up in every generation, depending on luck.

The daily work includes drafting and writing imperial edicts, imperial decrees, and imperial decrees for the emperor, lecturing on scriptures and reading history to the emperor, and answering the emperor's questions about academics.
The former can often participate in important events or know the news earlier than others, while the latter is always by your side.
This is what "prepare for maintenance and be prepared for consultation" means.

Although their rank is very high, their work content is closely related to and revolves around the general public, so they are often described as Qingyao, Qinghua, and Qinggui.
To put it simply, once you enter the Academy, you become a reserve pool of senior national cadres.

After finishing his duty in the palace, he can go home and have a rest.
The family asked for help, and Gao Junshi found a young eunuch to help him carry the bedding roll to Donghua Gate, hand it over to his son's followers, and go home.

Everyone asked that today was mainly the night shift, and during the day, someone else went to the Imperial Study to draft documents. The direct room was waiting for the palace to consult, but in fact, someone else had been to the front during the day, so it was probably because this person on duty was specially asked to do so.
When the family asked, they went to the front room to drink tea and look through the duty records of the front room during these days.
It turns out that this is often asked after midnight.

Jia Wen lowered his eyes and continued to flip forward.
After finishing the original book, change to an earlier one.
Just as he was looking at the palace, the eunuch suddenly called for the guard, "The family has arrived. Your Majesty is calling for you."

Jia Wen closed the duty record, stood up and followed the palace eunuch. On the way, he asked the duty officer, "Where are you going, Your Majesty?"
"Go past Zhaoyang Palace."
At this time, when passing through Zhaoyang Palace, the imperial study had seen the ministers who had come and had room to rest after all the important matters were dealt with.
The eunuch was selling his skills and revealed to the young man, "Your Majesty specially summoned the scholar to visit the palace."
Bo Ji summoned the son on duty and summoned Jia Wen. How do you know that Jia Wen is coming?
Since the eunuch beside her remembered the question asked by the eldest son yesterday, the eunuch had already taken note of it. Today, the eunuch came to take over the shift temporarily, and the eunuch had already delivered the news. When the eunuch learned about it, he told the eldest son.

The head eunuch could not have predicted that the young scholar would temporarily take over today. But even if Yang had not asked for sick leave, the head eunuch would have found a reason to send the young scholar to the palace after the scholars returned from court today.
The chief eunuch understood these things very well.

The boy was in great spirits, and was very happy when he saw the Gong family asking, "Jiyun, how does it feel to be married?"
After the ceremony, Jiawen said, "It's very mysterious. It seems to be very different from the past, but in the subtle and observable aspects, the attitude of the officials towards the ministers is the same as before."
Big this laughed out loud.

"You should start a family before you start a career," the elder said. "You entered the government too early. You are still a child even though you are well-educated."
"I know." Jia Wen said, "I used to be very submissive to you, but now I feel it is unreasonable."
"Look, you already know this," the palace servant said to him.

This is absolutely true. After getting married, Jiawen also felt that he had changed a lot, or in other words, grown a lot.
Before and after getting married, many of my thoughts are still the same as before.
Nian Hao couldn't help but sigh softly.

"I, an old man, haven't sighed yet, why are you sighing at such a young age?" The elder asked, and suddenly remembered, "I seem to have heard that your family is betrothing you to your uncle's cousin?"
The ministers were very good at telling you these things, and the eunuchs would often gossip about the officials to entertain you.

"Cousin Tokiomi."
This is so full of value. "How can Jia Zhifei control his wife?"
The family asked the son about his father, Jiabo, whose courtesy name was Zhifei.
This is a saying that when a family asks whether their parents are prominent, if they are prominent, then they should have no impression of them. If they have no impression, then it means that their parents are not prominent.

This is when she blamed her husband.
Everyone thinks that the husband is wrong for marrying his son. For the palace family, this is a bad thing for their own son who has a bright future.
Jia Wen immediately leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty has misunderstood my mother. There is nothing good about this marriage. Although my wife is from a prominent family, she is virtuous, filial, honest, open-minded and humorous. I am not satisfied with her at all."

It's ok to be filial and honest, but in front of me, I actually used "open-minded and humorous" to describe my wife. She smiled so well, "Little Dezi, look, she's already here." Little Dezi was my eunuch by my side, his name was Liu Deshi, a fat old man with white hair like me. He was half as thin as me. Little Dezi was my playmate and my companion in the palace. Only when I was old and gray would I call him "Little Dezi". People around me would only call him eunuch Nian De.

Eunuch De smiled and said, "Young couple."
The sound of cockroaches in the morning makes me sigh, "Young couple..."
The elder suddenly fell into memories and asked, "Xiao Dezi, how long has Zitong been gone?"

Eunuch De also counted on the palace's fingers, and the answer to the family question was "Sincerely filial, kind, wise, virtuous, great, benevolent, and obedient to heaven, the holy Zhao Da Empress passed away in the second year of Mingyou, and she is now forty years old."
This man has lived too long, and has already outlived four successive empresses.
But everyone knows that the only way for the prince to call her "Zitong" in the palace is for her to be the prince's empress or his first wife.

"It's been forty years..." He was in a daze, and his eyes became moist.
"It's still the time for young couples, the original spouses." Da Zhe sighed, "Jiyun, you must cherish the present."
"You have to remember that you still have to be the original wife."
"The back, no matter how good it is, is still good enough."

Speaking of "original wife", the girl's mind suddenly flashed with Zhang Haitang's chicken-like face.
The eyes are cunning.
Always aggressive.

She reminded them not to forget to be together next year.
How silly! Regardless of whether they consummated their marriage or not, she would always be the husband's first wife.
I pay homage to my parents in heaven and earth, and I am your fake son everywhere.
Jia Wen bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is talking about Ziji at this time."

Grandpa De patted the big man on the back and said, "Come on, come on, come on."
Young Master De should be about the same age as me, but his uterus has much more sufficient qi and blood than mine.
Nian turned to his father and asked, "Now it's time for you to meet His Majesty in the palace and talk about history."

A thick volume of historical documents was spread out on the desk, with notes beside it, recording what had been said and what questions the master had.
After reading the ten lines of the colleague's notes, the teacher turned to the next page.
At that time, it was the tenth year of Tai'an in the Wei Dynasty. Emperor Renzong of Wei had no heir, and the country had no crown prince, which triggered a rebellion among the princes of the royal family to seize the throne.

Jia Wen frowned slightly, and turned the page again in a lively tone, "Today I will tell Your Majesty about the third year of Kaibao in the Wei Dynasty. During the major palace renovation, there was an earthquake in the southeast and a severe drought in the northwest..."
It doesn’t matter, when you get older, you will remember where you are.
Everyone slowly told us about what had happened in the long history of the palace.

The ministers and the prince would like to peek at the prince's medical records every day to understand his health condition. This is a big taboo, otherwise you will lose your head.
But the family wanted to know the duty records of the palace direct-control officers - it started from the end of autumn and the beginning of winter in that year, and usually the officers on duty were summoned for consultation late at night.
Since then, my sleep has become better.

Why is this so? It is hard to guess, it may be related to the illness that Dad had when he gave birth that autumn. Dad seemed to have recovered, but only the imperial physician knew the impact of the illness on his body.
Perhaps the imperial physician also knew that the patient's health condition must be kept confidential, so it was recorded in the duty book with careful handwriting.

The family asked in a slow voice, and when he turned the pages he looked up and saw this person with big eyes.
Compared to the fat eunuch De, this one is very thin, with deep wrinkles on his face.
Jia Wen remembered it very clearly, that in the spring of that year, when Nian was selected as the third place in the imperial examination, the emperor in the Golden Palace was still very energetic and gave Nian the name "Jiyun".
But now, old age has arrived, and with each passing year, I have aged rapidly like a precipice.
