Chapter 26 third quarter

Since Chen Tang settled down here, Zhang Bo has come here more frequently than before, and every time he comes, he brings generous gifts. He is a lieutenant, and he has rich feudal taxes every year, and money is not a problem.Sometimes the three of us have dinner together, and occasionally talk about state affairs.Every time Zhang Bo comforted Chen Tang to wait patiently.He said that he had recommended many times to several officials in the DPRK and China, but there are currently no vacancies in the DPRK and China positions, and he has to wait for the opportunity. In this way, autumn goes and spring comes, and a year has passed.

Spring is here, and there are golden and dazzling forsythias blooming in my yard, as well as light red peaches, white lilacs, and colorful.In addition to cockfighting, I found that planting flowers and grass is also a very interesting thing.So sometimes I will ask my sister to read it to me, because there are many names of flowers and plants in it. As long as it is mentioned there, I will try my best to collect seeds and cultivate them, unless it is really not suitable for the climate of Chang'an.Others don't believe that a man like me who looks rough likes flowers and plants, but who among them will understand my heart?

On this day, Zhang Bo came here happily, praised the forsythia in our courtyard a few words, and ordered Chen Tang to come to see him. As soon as Chen Tang sat down, Zhang Bo hurriedly blurted out: "My lord, I got the news today that the imperial eunuch in the palace who offered food has died. So I will come to you right away." What I thought was something turned out to be an obituary, but was it worth the beaming?A small eunuch offering food to Cheng, does he have any enmity with this honorable Zhang Hou?Besides, what does this have to do with Chen Tang? Chen Tang was obviously also a little puzzled: "What does Junhou mean?"

Zhang Bo said with a little embarrassment: "It stands to reason that the funeral of a Le Ren is inauspicious. But I just thought about letting Zigong develop a little bit of talent, so I forgot about everything." He drank his saliva and continued: "You know, the Taiguan is a subordinate official of the Shaofu, and the current Shaofu Liang Qiuhe is my best friend. I strongly recommend you to him, counting your talents and this time in Jingxing. Thank you, he finally agreed to let you try to fill this vacancy. I also know that a small offering of food does not match Zigong's talent, but you must have a position first, and you will have more opportunities later. You might as well give in .”

I also nodded, in fact Zhang Bo is too modest, for a Kanto native like Chen Tang who has no foundation as an official, it is really not condescending to suddenly become a food offering officer of 200 shi. Chen Tang was even happier than I had imagined, and immediately said at the table: "Thank you for the recommendation, Junhou, Tang naturally has a thousand wishes." Zhang Bo smiled and said, "That's the deal. I'll report back to Mr. Liang of the Young Mansion. If you wait a few more days, the appointment document will be issued soon." Chen Tang smiled happily, which made me suddenly feel uncomfortable.I have never had a friend like him who is so keen on being an official. I am ashamed to have a friend like him.But there is no way, since he was recommended by Zhang Bo, I have no choice but to accept him with a smile, I owe Zhang Hou, and if Chen Tang really wants to become an official, he can leave my house soon.

"Today I specially brought beef wine, how about we celebrate my son-in-law?" Zhang Bo faced me, asking for advice. Naturally, I couldn't refuse, and readily agreed. On this day, Chen Tang was drunk, I asked the servant to help him back to his room to rest, and I sat there alone thinking about something.My sister came in and sat in front of me, but I didn't notice either. When I looked up, she had just finished packing some sundries. She looked at me and asked casually, "Brother, why don't you call me today if you have a drink? What's the happy event?"

I replied casually: "It's nothing, Chen Tang is going to be an official." "Oh, that's good," she replied quickly.I feel that there is something special in her voice, I can't express it, probably because of loss. So he was silent again, and I asked, "Isn't it good for him to leave? The future is bright." She smiled and said: "Yes, very good." She quickly answered this sentence, and then said: "Brother, don't disturb your rest, I'm going out." She walked quickly to the door, and seemed to stop for a moment, the skirt with brown phoenix pattern was shining under the setting sun that shot into the room.I thought she was going to say something, but she quickly disappeared outside the door again.
