Tibet

Wei Gao thought it was Wei Ping and quickly got up to open 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.

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, "I'm 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 are on the 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."

"Tell us what conditions you want!"

"Two of the three conditions are optional, and the other is a hard condition. The first is to 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, it will be useless even if you have a letter of recommendation from the head of the Cui family in Qinghe, so the heads of the family must select outstanding children, otherwise it will be embarrassing. "

"What is the contribution value?" Wei Gao asked.

"The 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 work for the government, earn 100 points, and rank in 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 specifically asked to take care of him by His Highness the King of Qi. 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 go out with the child in my arms."

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 while.

"Am I still lying to you about such a trivial matter? Take Qiuhe with you. When we get back, we can go visit Han Chang'an City."

Yang Yuhuan suddenly burst into laughter, hugged her husband and acted coquettishly, asking him to regain his strength and fight again.

The two fought hard for another half an hour before letting the maid come in to clean up.

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, followed by Yang Yuhuan and his daughter Qiuhe.

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 there was someone in the family, but she had no choice. If she was recognized by Taiwei's mother, Yuhuan, that would be a big problem.

After much deliberation, he still had to clean up Wangxian Pavilion immediately. At least Yuhuan could stay at home comfortably without seeing guests, which was 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 of Xianyang County. He was holding his daughter, 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 and 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, such as going to Anxi. The journey is very hard and takes several months, so we will just use this big car with a kitchen inside. Sleeping room”

"You can also play mahjong!" Qiu He 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 use a cart to march day and night and arrive in 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 instead of a cavalry marching 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, and they travel all the way to Anxi. It is actually very interesting to walk there for two months. thing.
