Gao Zhang did not dare to neglect, quickly freshened up, and walked quickly towards the outside of the mansion.
Stepping into the carriage, he looked at Master Hunjun who was looking at him with kind eyes and a smile.
"Xiao Gao, you are very good. Your imperial examination really impressed my teacher..."
"It's just a fluke. If it weren't for Master's encouragement and protection all the way, this disciple would not be where he is today..."
Gao Zhang directly pushed the Jinshan into the jade pillar and bowed down, his face full of gratitude.
Seeing that Gao Zhang was still so obedient, courteous, respectful and filial, Zhao Ji raised his lips with satisfaction.
"You kid, get up quickly. I did use some tricks as a teacher. But in the end, those are just little Doyle."
"Come on, come on, tell me carefully what happened in the past few days in Gongyuan."
"My teacher asked Yang Jian, but unfortunately the guy was mumbling and couldn't explain anything."
Seeing how curious Zhao Ji was, Gao Zhang cheered up and began to tell about his encounters in the Gongyuan.
At that time, even in Gongyuan, I never forgot Master's encouragement and teachings.
When I wrote the policy question, I was thinking about what the Master would do if he was concerned about the country and the people...
In a word, even if Hun Jun is not present, he must feel spiritually that he is with his disciples at all times.
Yang Jian, who was standing outside the carriage, listened to Gao Zhang's words in the carriage that could be described as shameless and outrageous.
Yang Jian rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and complained crazily in his heart, why is this kid so slippery?
The important thing is that there are some words that I am even embarrassed to say.
But Gao Zhang, this kid, could actually speak without blushing and his tongue would bloom like a lotus flower.
And the laughter that came from the official family from time to time in the carriage made Yang Jian feel that if this kid had entered the palace.
I am afraid that my position as the most trusted eunuch in the official family may fall to this kid.
Fortunately, he is the only son of Captain Gao...
#####
When Gao Zhang and Zhao Ji got off the carriage, he looked at the surrounding scenery and couldn't help but feel suspicious.
After all, I met this faint-hearted master either in the Goulan Pavilion or on the flower boat.
But now, as the master led him to walk around the lake, he didn't see a ragged young lady.
There was no girl shaking the silk handkerchief with her jade-like arms, which made Gao Zhang quite uncomfortable.
However, the master did not mention the purpose, so Gao Zhang naturally did not ask any more questions and followed him obediently and slowly by the lake.
"Xiao Gao, my teacher is here to see you today. First of all, I want to hear about your experience in taking the provincial examination in Gongyuan."
"Secondly, I came here to discuss something important with you."
"What did the master say? If the master has something to do, just give instructions to the disciples. How can the disciples disobey orders?"
Hearing Gao Zhang's decisive and resolute answer, Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and nodded and smiled at Gao Zhang.
"You kid, my teacher hasn't even told me what's going on, so you have to listen to me..."
Gao Zhang forced out a bright and innocent smile, his eyes so sincere.
"Because I believe that Master will never harm me."
"This is natural. But I still hope that you can know the reason why I did this."
"Last night, I had a very real dream..."
Gao Zhang raised his head in confusion and looked at the Hunjun, who had a serious expression and didn't look like he was joking.
I really want to curl my lips. Yesterday I also had a very real dream, and I also dreamed that I became the number one scholar.
Whether you believe it or not, anyway, I believed.
#####
"Last night, my teacher, I dreamed of you, Xiao Gao, who shined brilliantly in the palace examination. Once again, you lived up to your expectations and won the first prize, becoming the number one scholar in this subject."
"ha?!"
Gao Zhang was stunned for a moment and looked at Hunjun of the Song Dynasty who was talking about his dream with great joy.
I wanted to bend down, pick up a handful of grass with both hands, stuff it into my mouth to suppress my shock.
What the hell is this? I am a serious person, how could I have the same dream as this old man?
"Are you scared?" He saw Gao Zhang's startled, dumbfounded look.
Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel happy, and patted Gao Zhang on the shoulder with a smile.
"Master, I'm not kidding you. I really had such a dream."
It is precisely because this dream is so real that after Zhao Ji woke up, he could still clearly remember the details of the dream.
For example, when Gao Zhang was writing furiously during the imperial examination, he could still see behind Gao Zhang.
A hazy immortal appeared, as if wrapped in glowing clouds, seemingly standing behind him to protect him.
And that immortal was the one who taught Gao Zhang the Thin Golden Body in the dream.
When Gao Zhang's poems and poems for the palace examination were completed in one stroke, he put Gao Zhang's name on the gold list as the number one scholar...
Listening to the Hunjun Zhao Ji narrating this dream with a serious face, Gao Zhang could only try his best to make his expression look fascinated and yearning.
After Zhao Ji finished describing this dream, he smacked his mouth with unfinished meaning, paused, glanced back, and raised his hand.
Yang Jian and a group of guards with swords, who were originally walking a few steps behind, wisely stepped back, leaving behind their master and apprentice.
"My master has decided that our master-disciple relationship will not be revealed to the world for the time being."
"In this way, we can prevent Xiao Gao from being criticized by those with ulterior motives for your achievements based on your true skills."
"I hope you can understand, Xiao Gao, that doing this as a teacher is for your future."
Gao Zhang bowed his head directly.
"Master's good intentions are clearly for the sake of the disciples. There is no reason for the disciples to disobey."
Zhao Ji felt warm in his heart when he saw Gao Zhang being so obedient and sensible, and able to understand his painstaking efforts.
"Okay, you kid, you and I, master and disciple, don't have to stick to these false etiquette."
However, Gao Zhang finished the salute honestly and then stood up, with seriousness written all over his pretty face.
"As a disciple of the Master, how can Zhang be arrogant and ignorant of the truth?
Saluting is also a way to tell yourself that you must always remember Master’s teachings and your love and care. "
Hearing this, Zhao Ji looked at Gao Zhang blankly for a full breath, and then squatted down.
He even used his own hands to brush off the grass clippings and dust on Gao Zhang's body...
Yang Jian and a group of guards with swords standing in the distance saw the interaction between the officials and Gao Zhang, and their eyes instantly turned red.
Yang Jian was so jealous that he wanted to bite the tree trunk on the roadside to vent his anger.
Our family has been following the official family for nearly thirty years. I have never enjoyed such treatment. How come Gao Zhang is so loved by the officials?
