After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Shi Zhongchen stood up and loudly recited the official positions assigned to the scholars. He started with miscellaneous subjects and finally studied the Jinshi subject.

The scholars' hearts were pounding, especially the higher the ranking, the more nervous they were. They studied until the third place in the Jinshi class. When they were the assistant teacher of the four ranks, the scholars were all envious. This was an official position from the eighth rank, which was not only leisurely, but also highly respected. This literary minister was really lucky. He not only showed off his limelight, but also got a good official position. Who is his backer?

Who is Wen Qicai’s backer? This is not important. What is important is that Di Renjie and Qiu Tingxuan’s backer is Wang Ping'an!

After finishing reading the novel, Shi Zhongchen paused for a moment before reciting: "Qiu Tingxuan, the second-ranked Jinshi, was appointed as the county magistrate of Maling County, Qingzhou!"

The scholars were shocked and looked up at Qiu Tingxuan together! A county magistrate appeared in the new Jinshi. This really surprised them. It was not the county magistrate of the prefectures in the Jingji area. However, from the seventh rank lower rank, a person who has just entered the official career, can directly achieve this level...it is simply outrageous!

In the Tang Dynasty, the official system of the ninth rank, for example, the ninth rank official is divided into the ninth rank and the ninth rank, and the ninth rank is divided into the ninth rank and the ninth rank, and the ninth rank is divided into the ninth rank and the ninth rank. The same is true for the ninth rank, that is, the ninth rank has the fourth rank official, and the eighth rank is the same.

In other words, as soon as Qiu Tingxuan entered the officialdom, he was immediately promoted to level 8, skipped the latter level 8, and became a governor!

The scholars were envious and jealous. Wang Ping'an's ability was too great to turn his fellow villager into a county magistrate. I wonder how many levels his brother could jump?

Shi Zhongchen recited again: "Di Renjie, the first in the Jinshi class, was appointed as the county magistrate of Heshui County, Qingzhou!"

There was a sound of breath in the hall, and the scholars' eyes were red with jealousy. Di Renjie jumped even harder, but he jumped nine levels in a row, becoming the county magistrate of a state capital!

Heshui County is the capital of Qingzhou and the first county. The county magistrate's rank is from the seventh rank. Di Renjie's official position is even higher than that of Qiu Tingxuan. He is already the highest in the new Jinshi since the founding of the Tang Dynasty!

After reading the list, Shi Zhongchen said, "You guys, I haven't received the order yet!"

The scholars expressed their gratitude in unison, and long live the mountain!

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Everyone, go to the Ministry of Personnel. From now on, you will be colleagues. You still need to support each other and encourage each other!" He spoke politely, no longer asked the scholars to wait, but changed to you!

The scholars retreated from the hall and went to the Ministry of Personnel to receive the official uniform and seal. The Ministry of Personnel was Changsun Wuji's territory, a yamen that he firmly held in his hands and would never give up.

The scholars left and began to discuss matters in the main hall. The matters of the grand dynasty meeting were discussed at the small dynasty meeting and had already reached the conclusion. The ministers only had to discuss the matters. The only important thing was that Wang Ping'an was re-appointed and was no longer a second-rank scattered official, but was transferred to a fifth-rank official, and took over the real power of the state.

After the discussion was completed, the ministers returned to their respective yamen.

Li Shimin returned to Ganlu Palace, but Li Zhi did not rush back to the East Palace and left the main hall. He pulled Wang Pingan aside and went to a place where no one was around and asked, "Wujian, how have you done about Mei Niang?"

Wang Ping'an said: "I have already figured out the solution, how to hide it..." He said Yang's idea.

After hearing this, Li Zhi said happily: "This method is good. Not only will it not make others suspicious, but Mei Niang will also have a suitable identity when she enters the palace in the future. Alas, Gu really can't bear to leave her. Although there are many concubines in the Eastern Palace, Gu doesn't like him. He only likes her, but she is leaving Gu."

Wang Ping'an hurriedly comforted him: "Today's parting is to be together forever in the future. Your Highness does not have to worry, and leave everything to me to deal with."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Don't worry if you do things." Seeing that Wang Ping'an was trying to leave, he hurriedly said, "There will be a polo party tomorrow, which will be held outside the city. My father told me specifically to let you attend."

Wang Ping'an said, "But, I am about to leave Beijing, and I still have to prepare for the northward journey. Why should the emperor ask me to participate?"

Li Zhi said excitedly, "It is precisely because you are going north to Qingzhou that some things need to be done now! The father not only wants you to participate, but also asks your whole family to participate, and the younger sister Yiren will go!"

Wang Ping'an was shocked. He wanted to get engaged, but how could he choose to be a polo club like this? This is too unserious!

Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "You go back and make a good poem, and then play on the court. After winning, give the ball stick to Yiren. Yiren will give you a sweat-wiping handkerchief, that's all!"

Wang Ping'an said in surprise: "You must not exchange birthdays or horoscopes? Don't you prepare a betrothal gift?"

This time, Li Zhi was surprised and said, "Of course I have to prepare, but it's not going to be given to you tomorrow. I have to wait until you return from Gyeongju and get married before you get married. Think about it, if you can't marry a younger sister in the future, wouldn't it be like having a marriage again and not being formed? Let her be the one who will be a human being in the future!" He said this for granted.

"But, how can this be considered an engagement?" Wang Ping'an said.

Li Zhi smiled and said, "How can this not be considered a engagement? As long as everyone knows it, it will be done. And in this way, even if the father regrets it in the future, there will be a way out. You will not be able to find fault with you and kill you. This is for your own good!"

Wang Ping'an grinned, what's this for me? Okay, even if it's for me!

He had heard more or less about Li Yiren's past. The little princess's marriage was made by Wei Zheng's son, but later Li Shimin looked down on Wei Zheng's son. When she regretted the marriage, she had to turn over the old debt and pick the fault of the dead Wei Zheng, and then she found the reason for remorse.

I guess Li Shimin was scared by what happened last time, and was afraid that Wang Ping'an, the son-in-law, would be like Wei Zheng's son, would not be in line with his wishes. If he regrets marriage at that time, wouldn't it be too troublesome? It would be better to just have a ceremony that everyone understands, and not exchange birthdays and horoscopes. It would not be too late to exchange it before the formal marriage.

Wang Ping'an said with a bitter face: "I don't know how to play polo, and I'm just fine with riding a horse, but if it comes to equestrianism, I really can't get on the table."

Li Zhi said in surprise: "You can't play polo? How is this possible? There are many palace maids in the palace who can play, and they play very well. You are a man and have led soldiers, so how can you not play basketball?"

Polo was also called "Jiju" or "Ji" or "Ji" and became popular in the Eastern Han Dynasty and was even more popular in the Tang Dynasty. Almost all men, women, young and old know what playing polo means. Even if they can't play, they like to watch it. The wealthy families in Chang'an liked this sport, especially Li Shimin, who was the emperor of the horse and liked to play polo even more. Now that he is old and can't play, he still likes to watch it. Not only Li Shimin, but most of the emperors of the Tang Dynasty were like this. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Emperor Minghuang of Tang even played internationally. This shows that the people of the Tang Dynasty loved polo.

Wang Ping'an spread his hands and said, "I really can't play polo, and I have never seen anyone else play. I have never seen anything the club looks like!"

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "If you don't call a club, you have to call a club. If you haven't played polo before, it will be difficult. You can't let your younger sister go up and play, and then you go up and wipe her sweat, right?"

Wang Pingan uh-out and said, "That's so embarrassing!"

Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "Let me do this, I will make arrangements. Usually you have done your business for me. This time, I will work hard once, and I will make arrangements for you."

Wang Ping'an was overjoyed and said, "Your Highness wants to arrange marriage for me? That's great. I'm worried that I won't make arrangements. I haven't made marriages before, and I have no experience!"

Li Zhi laughed out loud and said, "If you have experience, would you still expect to marry an orphan girl?"

A sense of accomplishment appeared in his heart for no reason. Wang Ping'an had always settled the matter for him. Now he finally had the opportunity to settle the matter for Wang Ping'an once, and he would definitely be able to settle it.

Wang Ping'an said goodbye to Li Zhi, left the palace, went to the Ministry of Personnel to complete the procedures, received the official documents and declarations needed to go to Qingzhou, and then returned to his new home.

After arriving at home, he told me about attending the polo club tomorrow. The Wang couple were overjoyed after hearing this, but at the same time they were a little worried. They felt that this engagement method was too irregular and they didn't even change their birthdays and horoscopes, which was a bit of a royal decency.

Wang Youcai was quite open-minded and comforted Yang, saying, "As long as you can make a marriage, you have hope of being a prince consort, it would be great. Can you still find fault with the royal family? You think this is a banquet for us countrymen, so poor and particular."

Yang sighed: "It's not that I can't, but I don't dare. If we are really in the countryside of Xuzhou, our family is Wang Laocai and their family is Li Laocai. Do you think I will pick it or not? If I don't let me choose it now, then I will wait until his daughter passes the door and try my best!"

Wang Ping'an and Wang Youcai said in unison: "Don't go!"

Wang Youcai smiled and said, "Li Laocai's daughter, no matter how many problems you have, you can't pick on it. Be careful that she will go home and complain!"

Wang Ping'an also laughed a few times and said, "The little princess is nothing wrong. She is a very quiet person. You will definitely like her when you see her." After thinking about it, he said, "Dad, mother, I'll go out and ask Danru and the others to prepare some gifts. Maybe they can use it tomorrow. There are so many people in the palace, and they have to get some."

Yang clapped his hands and said, "Yes, having money can make the devil push the mill. Even in our countryside, if you want to work more, don't you have to give it a few more good food? Everyone around the little princess has already socialized and let them say good things about you, at least they can't give you a slap."

Wang Ping'an smiled and thought to himself: "With the business of Inspiration Temple Pedestrian Street, are you still afraid that the people in the palace will not say good things about me!"

He smiled and said, "There is no need to socialize. I asked Ouyang Li and the others to prepare more golden seeds. That thing is easy to deliver and collect, but it is good to keep it. Everyone in the world likes it, so how can people in the palace be exception!" After that, he left his parents' house with a smile.

Only Wang Youcai and Yang were left in the house. Wang Youcai said, "It just so happened that before we came to Chang'an, we had made several new clothes. We would choose the best ones to wear tomorrow and behave in a decent way, so that we would not lose our son's face."

Yang smiled, poked Wang Youcai's forehead with his finger, and said, "Wang Laocai, you have no knowledge! If you want to give your son a face, you can't dress gorgeously. Just wear neatly and not shabby without patches."

She opened the suitcase, found two clothes, and said, "We will wear this tomorrow, not ostentatious or shabby."

Wang Youcai looked at the two clothes and frowned and said, "These two clothes are old. Isn't it good to wear this one tomorrow?"

Yang smiled and said, "You are really unaware. We just dress simply, and it makes us easy-going. You don't think about it. Those who go to watch polo tomorrow are either rich or noble, and they are rich and generous. How can we, the country people, compare them? So just don't compare, just dress ordinary."

If you want to talk about how to play a wealthy family, Wang Youcai really has no experience and has never put his mind on such things. He heard his wife's arrangements, he hesitated and said, "But what if someone is looked down upon? I think our Wang family is just like this and is not worthy of the princess... Wouldn't that be a mistake?"

Yang shook his head and said, "If you want others to know that our Wang family is so well-known and putting effort into ourselves is too vulgar. If you lose your temper, you have to put effort into our servants and carriages and equipment, then you can make the real chapter!"

Wang Youcai said, and had to follow his wife's arrangements and wear whatever she asked him to wear.

Wang Ping'an returned to his room, called Ouyang Li, told him about the polo club tomorrow, and asked him to prepare more golden melon seeds, and he would give him a big delivery tomorrow. Ouyang Li got the order and immediately prepared golden melon seeds. If there was not enough at home, he went to find Hamiti and asked him to do as much as he had.

The luggage at home is easy to pack. The Wang couple had just arrived in Chang'an and had not opened a lot of luggage yet. Wang Ping'an's luggage was not much, so it was not necessary for him to pack it up by the servants.

Wang Ping'an also told Ding Danruo and Ke Lianwu that he would take them to have a long experience tomorrow and see how the rich people in Chang'an live, so that they could dress up well, fight with the wealthy ladies, and ask their mother for jewelry. The two little girls were overjoyed and immediately ran to tell Yang to ask for jewelry.

When it was dark, Di Renjie came back. Wang Ping'an told him about this and asked him to go with him tomorrow to attend the polo club.

Di Renjie was really surprised and happy to hear that Wang Ping'an could not play polo. What was shocked was how could Wang Ping'an not even know this? What was happy was that he finally had a skill that surpassed his elder brother. Although he was not a master when playing polo, his low-handedness was still qualified.

There was nothing to say all night. At dawn the next day, Li Zhi sent the guards of the East Palace to lead Wang Ping'an and take him to the polo court outside the city.

The whole Wang family was dispatched, and Wang Ping'an and Di Renjie rode in front. Ouyang Li took six of the Ouyang brothers to escort the car, and then picked out fifty strong guards from the guard group to follow him. The Wang couple took two little girls in the car, and a group of servants and maids, heading towards the polo court outside the city.

The polo court is built in the north of Chang'an City, probably located outside the Xi Neiyuan and Daming Palace in later generations. It has hills and rivers, and the scenery is beautiful.
