Chapter 88

 Good family relations

Entering Chang'an and entering Mingde Gate, the voice of "Wan Sheng" is like a tidal wave, surging.

The proud people of the Tang Dynasty were always willing to put the most beautiful words on the soldiers who returned from victory, even if it was just to counter rebellion.

Sun Jiu and Lu Yisheng quietly turned around Dunhuafang, pulling a cart of bird wine and hair-crowned deer, but they had to be handed over to Fan Laoshi and his wife in time. Lu Yisheng needed to report to his family that he was safe, and Sun Jiu needed to rescue the fallen wife.

Where Zuo Tunwei escorted the prisoners had nothing to do with Fan Zheng and Li Yifu. They still returned to the Procuratorate and accepted Liu Fan's praise.

Li Yifu smiled bitterly, looking dissatisfied.

Such a great contribution is enough to qualify for an award from the Tai Chi Hall!

Fan Zheng's mentality was peaceful. No matter how much credit you had for catching the Maitreya Cult members, the Tang Dynasty would always take military credit first.

The exams that were coming one after another made Li Yifu overjoyed.

According to the rules, the merit examiner Wai Lang announced the results of the examination at the procuratorate. Li Yifu was rated as high or low for his two good deeds: "clear and prudent writing", "diligence and perseverance", and "inspection and careful review, the impeachment must be carried out".

You know, for every grade above average, one quarter's salary will be added!

The two supervisory historians who followed Li Yifu also had the rare chance of getting a "pass" in the examination.

Wai Lang, the merit examiner, regretfully told Li Yifu that if he hadn't tortured the governor without permission and was a bit cruel, which was resented by some officials, Li Yifu would have been able to praise him for his "fairness".

Fan Zheng's examination added "fairness can be called" on the basis of Li Yifu, with one being the most three benevolent, and being ranked as upper middle school, plus half a year's salary.

Liu Shu and Hua Ming also got top marks in the Liuwai Official Examination.

You know, the exams in the Zhenguan year were quite strict. Although there were some top students, almost no one got it, and the top grade was almost the top.

Li Yifu suddenly felt that his "Shang Xia" was no longer good.

He understands the truth. If he relies on Fan Zheng to get credit, he has to carry something, but he can't help but feel sour in his heart!

Say no more, go back to your house and buy a jar of Bingzhou mature vinegar!



"Zhen Xing, Zhen Bang, come get some food!"

At Madam Fan's Lotus Leaf Chicken Shop in Dunhuafang, Fan Zheng placed a bag of dried deer and bird wine on the table.

Zhen Bang was jumping with joy in his eyes.

Although there is no shortage of food at home, it is always good to change the taste.

Zhen Xing shook his head: "Hey, why don't you coax a lady back while you have something to eat? Really! It's heartbreaking."

Fan Zheng opened his mouth to reveal his true colors: "I mean, you want to use this food to coax Wu Sang over."

Zhen Xing laughed awkwardly, Aunt Fan laughed loudly, and Zhen Bang's eyes were blank.

Obviously, Zhen Xing does this often, and Aunt Fan doesn't mind if her baby decides to fall in love early.

"I spent a lot of time eating at my sister's place, so I'll give it back as a gift."

Fan Zheng's eyes were full of smiles.

Even if it's just once, it's better than just eating and drinking. Don't you know that there are comings and goings?

It's not a matter of how many times you go, it's a matter of showing a gesture.

"That little lady helped you, why don't you show it to me?"

Aunt Fan grabbed a handful of bird wine and put it into a pottery bowl. She put the bowl and the bowl into the steamer and steamed them together with the millet rice, while gossiping.

Fan Zheng smiled and said: "She has a share."

Returning to the house, Sun Jiushui got on the donkey cart and loaded it with two bags full of bird wine and venison. He showed his yellow teeth and seemed a bit flattering.

Fan Zheng slapped his forehead.

Just know it is so!

A common problem among old bachelors is that they cannot control their belts and trousers. It was indeed a wise move for Lu Yisheng to take care of his money.

After queuing up a hundred coins for Sun Jiu, Fan Zheng said earnestly: "Be more restrained."

Sun Jiu quickly put the money into the bag and said with a smile: "It's okay if you haven't tasted the meaty taste. After you taste it, it will inevitably be a bit...hehe."

Fan Zheng once bumped into Sun Jiu coming out of a certain room contentedly. The man behind him had an ordinary appearance, a big body and a round waist, and his taste was indeed extraordinary.

Then Fan Zheng remembered that in the previous life, someone made a prank on the Master, saying that Zi met Nanzi, and finally said to Zilu, "Heaven hates it". The later version of the translation is: You can insult my character, but you cannot insult my aesthetics!

Of course, this is just a joke, don't take it seriously.

Fan Zheng got into the car, Sun Jiu whipped his horse whip in the air, and the little braying donkey rushed out of the house at a whirlwind speed, looking a bit like the chariot god of the Sorghum River.

Sun Jiu's driving ability was good, and the speed of the little braying donkey was under his control. It was as fast and slow as he wanted. Even if the streets were busy with traffic, he still seemed to be able to do it with ease. He quickly arrived in front of the gate of Prince Wei's Mansion in Yankang Square.

Fan Zheng then remembered that he had forgotten to give a gift to Prince Wei's Mansion.

Is it because I feel inflated, or do I feel that I should avoid suspicion when I am on the Yushitai?

But that’s not how the world works!

It can be seen that asking Sun Jiu to be a common servant is well worth it!

This time, both Li and Tai were present and met the guests formally in the main hall.

This is a treatment that can only be enjoyed by a good family member.

"Bird vinegar? Dried hairy deer? This is a specialty of Bizhou! Bird vinegar is made by a ferocious person. Li Xin, now you are in for a treat! Why don't you thank the censor?"

Li Tai smiled and hugged his six or seven-year-old baby.

Although it is a bit flattering to say that Li Tai is talented, Li Tai is really knowledgeable, especially in geography. He is quite similar to Li Daoyuan's mantle, and he is well aware of the specialties of various places.

This year, Sima Suxu persuaded Li Tai to request the compilation of "Kuo Di Zhi".

Li Xin walked up to Fan Zheng, crossed her hands and saluted gracefully: "Li Xin thanked the censor for the delicious food!"

Fan Zheng did not dare to sit still and receive the gift, so he quickly stood up and returned the gift: "Your Majesty, you are so polite. It's just a meal. It's just a way of reciprocating a favor, thanking the King for the gift of thousands of books, and just expressing his sincerity."

It has to be said that Li Xin has a graceful demeanor and every move is in line with etiquette. He is a junior with a true royal style. Li Tai's demeanor is actually a little inferior in front of him.

Some things are not intrinsic enough, and no matter how hard you try, you can't hide the strong smell of whitewashing.

Yan Wan smiled and said: "Sending goose feathers from thousands of miles away is a light gift but a heavy friendship. Xin'er, remember, when someone gives you something, the value of the item is the most boring thing; the most important thing is to see whether the other person's intention is sincere.

"

Li Xin crossed her hands: "Li Xin has memorized Auntie's teachings."

The tea soup prepared by Wu Neng was served, and Fan Zheng took a sip: "Slightly sweet, light red in color, and elegant. Did you add some chrysanthemums? Hey, the chrysanthemums are not red."

Li Tai slapped his leg: "Sure enough, I know tea! That's right, some snow chrysanthemum from Nyangcheng (also called Niya) in Khotan was added, and because of its reddish color, it's called blood chrysanthemum!"

It’s hard to say which one is better between the chrysanthemums from the Western Regions and the chrysanthemums native to the Tang Dynasty, but it is definitely more difficult to obtain the Niyang snow chrysanthemum.

Li Tai only chatted with Fan Zheng, and he could talk about everything in the world, but he never mentioned officialdom or court matters.

In his opinion, it is too vulgar for an elegant scholar like Fan Zheng to talk about worldly power!

Yan Wan couldn't stand it any longer: "Stop talking! The supervisory censor is not allowed to go... Send gifts to Du Shuling's house!"

Li Tai slapped his forehead and smiled strangely: "Blame me, blame me! I almost missed the good thing of the supervisory censor! Wu Neng, take the supervisory censor to Du Shuling's house in Liangcheng Department, and you can come back.
