Wei Gao thought it was Wei Ping, so he quickly got up and opened the door. The person outside the door surprised him. He said in surprise: "Brother, it's you!"
The person outside the door was none other than Wei Yingwu. He smiled slightly and said, "I heard that you have returned to Chang'an. I came to see you."
"Come in! Come in!"
Wei Gao quickly invited his eldest brother Wei Yingwu in and introduced them to the two. Wei Yingwu was a famous ranger in Chang'an when he was young. He was a righteous man and loved to fight injustices, but he also made trouble and often got into fights. He was very famous among the famous children of Chang'an. Of course,
It is a negative teaching material, but in the hearts of young people, it is an idol that they worship.
Su Hui and Guo Jun hurriedly greeted each other, and Wei Yingwu smiled and said, "I asked you why don't you go home to live? It turns out you want to be with your friends. Of course, it's more free."
Wei Gao moved a stool for his eldest brother to sit on, and asked with a smile: "How does eldest brother know that I live here?"
Wei Yingwu smiled slightly and said, "I am a local snake in Chang'an. How can there be something that I can't find out?"
Su Hui asked curiously: "Where does Brother Wei work?"
"I'm in the Secretariat!"
"What is the Secretariat? Is it the same as the Imperial Secretariat?" Guo Gang asked curiously.
Wei Yingwu shook his head, "The secretaries in the imperial court are in charge of pictures and books, but it is different in Prince Qi's palace. We specialize in handling documents for Prince Qi, drafting Prince Qi's orders, etc., which is equivalent to a staff."
"Brother Wei is the staff of His Highness King Qi?" the three of them said in surprise.
Wei Yingwu smiled slightly and said: "The King of Qi's staff only has two people, Li Mi and Liu Yan. We work as staff, there are more than twenty people, and I am just one of them."
"That's not bad. You can have access to secrets. Brother Wei, I heard that there are quotas for the imperial examination. Is it true?"
Wei Yingwu shook his head, "There has always been a list of special promotions, but the conditions are very harsh. You don't have to be from a famous family to get it."
"Then what are the conditions? Tell us!"
"Three conditions, two are optional, and the other is a hard condition. First of all, choose one of the two, either being a member of a famous family in the world, having a letter of recommendation from the head of the family, or having a high contribution value. The second is the hard condition, the imperial examination.
The ranking must be within 300. If you cannot get into 300, even a letter of recommendation from the head of the Cui family in Qinghe will be of no use, so the heads of the family must choose outstanding children, otherwise it will be embarrassing."
"What is the contribution value?" Wei Gao asked.
"Contribution value refers to what you did for the Prince of Qi before you became an official. For example, refugees from Hebei moved westward, and Longyou didn't have enough manpower. All the students from Longyou Official School were dispatched. After the end, each student recorded ten contribution points.
, as long as you often do things for the government, earn 100 points, and get into the top 300 in the imperial examination, you can be admitted exceptionally. Of course, there are some special circumstances, such as those specially recommended by the King of Qi. This situation is not
many."
The three of them were a little disappointed. None of them had a letter of recommendation from the head of the family, and they had no contribution points. It seemed that they were not eligible for the special quota.
Wei Yingwu smiled and said nothing. His younger brother Wei Gao was specially asked by His Highness the King of Qi to take care of him. If I guess correctly, the King of Qi valued Wei Gao very much and he could get special recommendation from the King of Qi.
At night, Li Ye and Yang Yuhuan made love. Li Ye found that Yang Yuhuan was a little uninterested tonight. In the past, he was devoted and very active, but not tonight. He felt a little lazy.
"Madam, is there something on your mind?" Li Ye asked, holding Yang Yuhuan in his arms.
"I just feel a little uncomfortable!" Yang Yuhuan whispered.
"You're not telling the truth!"
Yang Yuhuan pressed her face tightly against Li Ye's chest, tears bursting out of her eyes.
"Who bullied you?"
Yang Yuhuan shook her head, and Li Ye pulled her face, kissed her and said, "What's going on? Tell me!"
"Husband, Taiwei's mother is coming tomorrow, but I can only carry the child out."
Yang Yuhuan sobbed.
Li Ye understood now that this was really uncomfortable. He had to hide out of his home even though it was his own.
Li Ye hugged her and smiled: "I'm going to Xianyang tomorrow morning to inspect the progress of the new carriage. You go with me!"
"Really?" Yang Yuhuan stopped crying for a moment.
"Am I still lying to you about such a trivial matter? Take Qiuhe with you. When we come back, we can go visit Han Chang'an City."
Yang Yuhuan burst into tears and laughed, hugging her husband and acting coquettishly, asking him to regain his strength and fight again.
The two fought hard for another half an hour before the maid came in to take care of them.
After looking at Yang Yuhuan's delicate body behind the screen, Li Ye thought to himself, there is really no way, Yuhuan can't live without seeing acquaintances for the rest of his life!
Suddenly an idea flashed through his mind. By the way, why didn't he think of masks? Make a special mask for Yang Yuhuan. He can wear it when there are acquaintances and take it off at night.
Of course, this mask needs to be made very beautifully, as thin as a cicada, and it feels like it has no feeling when worn on the face. It is best to just change it slightly between the eyebrows and eyes.
The next morning, Li Ye took a carriage directly to Xianyang County, and Yang Yuhuan and his daughter Qiuhe also followed.
During breakfast, Li Ye told his wife Dugu Xinyue about this incident. Dugu Xinyue felt really guilty. There was no reason for her sisters to hide out when someone came from the family, but she had no choice but to be recognized by Taiwei's mother.
Yuhuan, that would be a big problem.
After much deliberation, I still have to tidy up Wangxian Pavilion immediately. At least Yuhuan can stay at home comfortably without seeing guests, which is much better than going out to escape.
Dugu Xinyue immediately told the housekeeper to arrange for the palace maids to clean up Wangxian Pavilion in the next two days.
Besides, Li Ye arrived at Nuyuan in Xianyang County. He held his daughter in his arms, and Yang Yuhuan followed her husband in a curtain hat.
Wang Pingchuan led the way and when they arrived at the square, they saw more than a dozen large cars parked in the square.
Each cart is huge, especially long, just like the large transport trucks of later generations. Each cart has four pairs of wheels.
"Dad, this car is so big!" Li Qiuhe held his father's hand, raised his head and whispered.
Li Ye picked up his daughter and said with a smile: "This is a big car specially designed to go to very far away places. For example, going to Anxi is very hard and takes several months. So we have this big car with a kitchen and
Sleeping room”
"You can also play mahjong!" Qiuhe said with a mischievous smile.
"By the way, you can also play mahjong inside, so you won't be tired on the way."
Li Ye had already figured it out. It was completely unrealistic and unnecessary to march day and night with a cart to reach Anxi in twenty days. The wear and tear of the cart would be more than worth the loss.
It is more realistic to use a cart than to use a cavalry to march day and night, supplying and changing horses along the way.
If you don't want to be fast, you want to be comfortable, so Li Ye changed his mind and used a big car to build an RV, treating the long journey as a long trip.
You can park and cook, you can lie down and sleep, you can gather around to play mahjong, more than a dozen families travel together, each family has an RV, travel all the way, and walk to Anxi for two months, it is actually very interesting.
