Chapter 265 Going to my husband's house for the first time (for the old giant!
Zhou Ning is treating a female student.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, put her hand on the female student's wrist, and breathed evenly...
The female student looked at her face, remembering those male classmates' praise of Zhou Ning, and suddenly her face turned red.
"Your heart is beating like thunder. I can hear it without checking your pulse."
"Ah! What's wrong with this?"
"The problem with random thoughts. Concentrate, otherwise... acupuncture." Zhou Ning glanced at the wooden box next to him.
The female student trembled and quickly concentrated...
Pulse diagnosis is over.
"Stick your tongue out, not spit it out."
"The internal fire is a bit strong, so I have been eating lighter lately."
Zhou Ning sat upright, picked up the pen and started writing the prescription.
Her long black hair fell from her ears and swayed gently beside her fair cheeks.
She occasionally frowned in thought and bit her lower lip inadvertently.
"Assistant teacher, what's wrong with me?" The female student was a little worried.
"It's not a big problem." Zhou Ning wrote down the prescription and handed it over, "Think less and practice more. By the way, it's hard to concentrate?"
"Yes! How does the teaching assistant know?"
"Your eyes are wandering, it can be seen that you are always thinking about things in your mind. It is not appropriate to continue like this. You must concentrate."
The female student was a little panicked and said, "Assistant teacher, I have a pure mind."
Zhou Ning sighed, "Are you seventeen years old? There is a springy look between your eyebrows, which shows that you have been having some interactions with men recently. I feel confused."
Female students resigned.
Before leaving the house, she couldn't help but turn around and asked: "Assistant teacher, do you have to be pure and celibate?"
Zhou Ning shook his head, "No need, just focus."
The female student blushed fiercely and hesitated to speak.
"Ahem!"
She opened the door but did not go out. Someone outside the door wanted to come in.
"Yang Xuan?"
Zhou Ning, who was sorting out medical records, suddenly raised his head.
Yang Xuan looked past the female student.
The two looked at each other in silence.
The female student felt something was wrong, so she walked out slowly and looked back.
ah!
Why is the assistant teacher's face a little blushing?
The thousand-year-old iceberg has changed!
Boom!
Yang Xuan closed the door with his backhand, cutting off her sight.
"Aning."
"Zitai."
The two of them looked at each other, and although they didn't speak, it seemed as if everything was being said.
For a long time, Yang Xuan held her hand and said, "Aning, I want to go to your house."
Zhou Ning was startled, then understood what he meant, lowered his head slightly, "Okay."
This is promised!
Yang Xuan couldn't help but be ecstatic, Zhou Ning raised his head, "Aren't you worried about not being allowed in my home?"
Yang Xuan said: "I only need you to agree. As for your family, if you don't agree, I will take you to Northern Xinjiang and make you happy and worry-free in this life."
Yang Xuan was rather envious of that era in the scroll, when a man and a woman did not need their parents' consent to be in love with each other. After getting along for a while, if they felt it was appropriate, they would visit both parents' homes.
The ratio of beating a mandarin duck to another is very low. Of course, being a good match is also an important factor.
Naturally, an ordinary wage earner would not expect to marry Bai Fumei. Even if he did, things would change sooner or later.
This is class.
Yang Xuan was full of confidence.
He hurriedly went to find Liu Qing.
"Go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the afternoon." Liu Qing took a nap at noon and seemed to be in good spirits.
"By the way, that ramen restaurant is good."
"Your Majesty, can you go earlier in the afternoon?"
"Why?"
"I have something to do this afternoon."
"What's the matter?"
"Go..." Yang Xuan scratched his head, "go visit the woman's family."
"Eh!" Liu Qing was startled, "I also said that I would look for a suitable woman for you in a while, but who did you fall in love with?"
Yang Xuan's parents were far away in Yuanzhou. It is said that before Yang Xuan got rich, his father took a big gamble, owed debts that he could never repay in his life, and disappeared with his family.
Most of them are refugees, so it's hard to find them.
So Liu Qing also thought about the suitable candidate for him.
"From the Imperial College."
"Female classmate? Not bad."
She is a female teaching assistant.
Liu Qing was in a good mood, "That's it, let's go now."
It is said that if you don't go to Chang'an, you don't know how junior the official is, and if you don't go to Chang'an, you don't know how senior the officials in Chang'an are. Liu Qing, a veteran official in the officialdom, naturally knows this truth.
When he arrived outside the official department, Liu Qing smiled and held his hands, "Liu Qing, the governor of Chenzhou, please see Luo Shangshu."
These are procedures and rules. Whether Luo Cai sees him or not is another matter.
Normally, my disciple would be pretentious and reserved, but today's disciple is extraordinarily sensible.
"Come in and wait."
Liu Qing was a little surprised. One doorman entertained them, and another one went in to inform them.
This must be the treatment of a feudal official.
Has I become more approachable recently?
Liu Qing couldn't help stroking his beard and smiling.
But it was the end of the year, and there were many affairs in the official department, so Luo Cai would probably not see him.
But it was just a routine check-in, so Liu Qing didn't care.
Of course, it would be beneficial to meet Luo Cai in person. For example, he could communicate his thoughts on Chenzhou's official structure with Luo Cai, so that it would be easier to operate in the future.
Come back and ask to see me when you are leaving.
Liu Qing's plan has been decided.
Go to the general door and run back.
"Liu Shijun, Yang Sima, and Shangshu are waiting."
Menzi was sweating profusely. When Liu Qing was stunned for a moment, he urged: "There are many people outside waiting for the minister to do something. Hurry up."
"Okay, okay."
Luo Cai actually put aside other things and met with him specifically. Liu Qing was inevitably flattered by this treatment.
When we arrived outside the duty room, more than ten officials were waiting.
Seeing them coming, some people snorted coldly. They were obviously very dissatisfied with such queue-jumping behavior, but they did not dare to make a fuss in the official department.
When the two arrived outside the duty room, the clerk nodded, turned around and said, "Shang Shu, Liu Shijun and Yang Sima from Chenzhou are here."
Luo Cai's voice came from inside, "Please come in."
The two went in to salute, and Luo Cai looked for the document on the desk. After finding it, he handed it to the clerk, "Send it out immediately, don't delay."
"Yes." The clerk excused himself.
The feeling of being very busy made Liu Qing, who was leisurely, a little uncomfortable.
"Sit down." Luo Cai was very polite.
The two sat down and Luo Cai turned his eyes from Liu Qing to Yang Xuan.
"How is Chenzhou?"
As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, understanding local official governance through documents is a bit harsh and one-sided. He wanted to supplement these shortcomings from the mouth and perspective of the local chief official.
"Chenzhou faces the three major ministries, as well as Northern Liaotan Prefecture. There are many daily affairs, and with external threats, the officials are very busy..."
This is a veiled statement: Can there be more practical officials among the officials sent to Chenzhou by the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the future?
What the old man said was watertight and there was no fault to be found.
Luo Cai obviously understood these words, nodded and said: "Northern Xinjiang is not easy, I know it."
Liu Qing didn't expect that he could be so easy to talk to, so he spoke out the words that were in his heart.
"Luo Shangshu, in the past few years, officials could still mount their horses to kill enemies and dismount their herdsmen. In recent years, officials...if I'm honest, there are more people reciting poems and painting, and more people are sleeping around, but there are fewer people doing things."
Luo Cai sighed, "I also know this. But this matter has something to do with the world's customs. You should know it."
"Yes." Liu Qing sighed, "I'm just a little sad."
In the original Tang Dynasty, scholars were proud of being able to kill enemies on horseback and herd herdsmen on dismounted horses. Gradually, now, they are all proud of high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and they are all proud of being able to serve as officials easily. And the culture of being both civil and military has gradually Overwhelmed by luxury.
"Today's officials only want to stay in Chang'an. There is no need to fight in Chang'an. So, why waste time on training? It is better to concentrate on studying and specializing in business. I am also quite annoyed by this matter, and I have also criticized it, but The world is like this, and if you want to change it, it won’t happen overnight.”
"Yes." Liu Qing just raised some of his concerns about today's officialdom, which can be regarded as a kind of personal feedback.
Luo Cai seemed to be quite impressed, and then he praised Liu Qing's achievements in Chenzhou.
"Do you want to come to Chang'an?"
Luo Cai's question made Liu Qing startled.
He said slowly: "It would be a lie to say that I don't want to. I have always dreamed of returning to Chang'an and becoming an official."
This is human nature, otherwise it would be false.
"But every time I have such thoughts, I will think about Chenzhou and Northern Xinjiang. I left Chenzhou and went to Chang'an, I think."
Liu Qing raised his head, "But I'm afraid that when I get to Chang'an, I won't be able to sleep every night."
"Why?"
"The lingering dream...is Northern Xinjiang!"
Luo Cai nodded, "It is because of you waiting in Northern Xinjiang that the Tang Dynasty can enjoy peace. Thank you for your hard work."
Yang Xuan noticed that Luo Cai seemed to be sarcastic when he mentioned the word Taiping.
Maybe I heard it wrong.
Liu Qing immediately resigned.
Luo Cai got up to see him off. This treatment was not low.
"No need to send me off," Liu Qing said with a smile.
Luo Cai suddenly laughed and said, "You have nothing to say?"
Liu Qing looked back at Yang Xuan.
What does Luo Cai mean?
Yang Xuan cupped his hands and remained silent.
Liu Qing was here, and whenever Yang Xuan mentioned a word about Chenzhou's official administration, it would be an insult to Liu Qing.
Shangguan is here, it's not your turn to speak!
This is an official rule!
But Liu Qing smiled and said, "Just say it."
Luo Cai glanced at Liu Qing and thought that the relationship between the two seemed to be cordial.
"Last time you came to see me, you just wanted to stay in Northern Xinjiang. What else could you say... How about being able to destroy one of the three major tribes before next autumn?"
Yang Xuan said: "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life!"
Later, the two left.
"I've been very busy lately. I went to the Ministry of War to ask about the three major ministries."
Luo Cai continued to serve as director.
Later, the clerk came back.
"how?"
"The Ministry of War said that in the battle report just sent a while ago, Bei Liao provoked, and Chenzhou Taiping County took the initiative to attack Waxie!"
Luo Cai exclaimed, "Who will lead the army?"
"Sima Yang Xuan!"
Lord Shangshu's laughter came from the duty room.
"Young men must practice what they preach, good!"
…
Yang Xuan is preparing gifts.
"Suzaku!"
"I am here."
"What should I give to my husband-in-law for the first time?"
"Tobacco and alcohol!"
"I turned off my phone!"
"I don't know!"
"There is something you don't know about?"
"I don't know much, for example, when did Zhou Zun become your father-in-law?"
"Sooner or later."
"Xiao Xuanzi, your shameless appearance is quite like Cao Mengde's."
Yang Xuan led people to buy things on the street.
"What a great city in Chang'an!"
"Hey! Look at that tall building, Chunyu, look at how beautifully carved the cornices are?"
"Yes! It's really like a fairyland."
"Look again, hey! Those women are really beautiful."
"What are you looking at? I dug your eyes out!"
A woman scolded him.
"What? You can't see it?"
"Look at your mother!"
"Chun Yu, forget it."
The woman cursed and left.
Yang Xuan left the store with large and small bags.
He is still wearing official uniform.
The guards behind him were armed with swords and armor.
This is the behavior of border officials, who are always ready to fight.
There was a general blocking the front, and he held his hand, "I am Shi Zhongtang, General of Southern Xinjiang, this..."
Yang Xuan took a look and saw that he was a general, so he said: "Chenzhou Sima, Yang Xuan."
"Northern Xinjiang Chenzhou?"
"Exactly."
Shi Zhongtang smiled honestly, "I feel friendly as soon as I see Yang Sima. Where does Yang Sima live? I'll treat you to a drink later."
This guy is a bit familiar!
Yang Xuan said: "I've been busy lately and I don't know when I will be free. Thank you very much."
Shi Zhongtang smiled and said: "Just tell me, I will go look for Yang Sima when I have nothing to do."
Does this person want to make friends?
Yang Xuan's mind was filled with things about himself and Zhou Ning, and he said casually: "Look back!"
He left in a hurry.
Shi Zhongtang turned around and watched him go away. Chunyu said: "He is just a Sima, and he is still far away in northern Xinjiang. Why should we associate with him?"
Shi Zhongtang's eyes became more profound, "A Sima with many followers shows that he has a good background. What he just bought was Shu Brocade, which shows that he has good financial resources. Furthermore, he is quite indifferent to me, which shows that he doesn't care.
General, what did you think of?"
"The people he associates with are either rich or noble." Chunyu praised: "The general has outstanding vision!"
Shi Zhongtang looked at him and said, "I learned another word, not bad."
What gift should I give when I go to meet my husband for the first time?
Yang Xuan went to a matchmaker for advice and gave him nine coins. The matchmaker explained the rules of giving gifts to the nobles in Chang'an. However, Yang Xuan knew that most of them were spreading lies.
In the end, the matchmaker was frothing at the mouth and patted her fat chest, swearing that she was telling the truth. Then she asked Yang Xuan if he wanted to propose marriage. She would give her a 10% discount.
Not even if you break a bone!
Yang Xuan felt that the matchmaker was a little too much, so he stood up and prepared to go out.
The matchmaker muttered, "Back then, I proposed marriage to a noble man! Young man, don't underestimate me!"
The old thief asked casually: "Who?"
"The eldest son of the magistrate of Chang'an County!"
Yang Xuan had been in the market for a long time, and his plain clothes were wrinkled. He smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
"Hey! Young man, don't go!"
"Do you know the rules of noble families?"
"Know something."
The old thief turned around and smiled, "I didn't bring a knife today."
Who can carry a knife on the street?
The madam understood immediately, her eyes lit up, and she wanted to win over this big customer.
"20% off!"
"Broken bones are useless."
Yang Xuan smiled and went out, "It's rare for her to be so dedicated, so I'll give her nine more coins."
The old thief gave it to the matchmaker, but the matchmaker regretted it more and more... If such a generous client could take over his business, how huge would the reward be?
The old thief chased him out.
"Mr. Lang is more generous."
"It's a happy event."
Yang Xuan took a shower and changed clothes. He never liked incense, but he hesitated for a long time before going out.
"Hey! Old thief, do you want some incense?"
Lang Jun is cowardly... The old thief didn't dare to expose it, "How about the sachet."
"Buy one." Yang Xuan thought something was wrong, "That's all, I'm afraid I won't like it, so I'll just go like this."
After struggling for a long time, Yang Xuan went to the Zhou family.
Knock knock knock!
The door opens.
Menzi glanced outside.
"Who are you looking for?"
Yang Xuan cleared his throat and said loudly: "Yang Xuan, please see Duke Zhou!"
