"Da'an, is Hanlin doing your job well?" Yang Ruoqing asked with concern.

"It's not bad. There's nothing major on weekdays. It's just compiling and revising classics. Hanlin will also think about major government affairs, but not in depth. After all, the direction is different."

Da'an now has a quiet temperament, and literary work such as compiling books is just right for him and goes smoothly.

"Hanlin is the future minister of government. In Da'an, you should take the time to review and study more about government affairs, especially in the future of trade management and business taxation. There is a lot to do." Yang Ruoqing suggested.

"Sister, don't worry. As you said, I will look for books to read and learn more when I get back." Da'an nodded and smiled.

He knew that Yang Ruoqing was giving him some advice. This aspect would definitely be useful in the future. There is nothing wrong with learning more.

Although Hanlin was quiet and inactive, free from dust, it was too leisurely and seemed to do nothing. The purpose of studying was not only to honor the ancestors, but also to manage the world.

To be able to make a difference in government affairs and to be famous in history is what a man does.

Da'an is also very yearning for it, but after all, his qualifications are still young and he has no experience in handling government affairs, so he is still focusing on studying for now.

"It is better to write more strategies than to observe more and experience more. After a while, if the court needs it, you will be able to show your talents. Your knowledge is like an awl. Even if you put it in a bag, you will poke it out by yourself..."

Yang Ruoqing gestured with her hands: "You can't stop it. Those who are truly talented will not be buried."

"Da'an, although Emperor Qi personally ordered you as the top pick, do you understand his intentions?"

"I didn't understand it at first. In terms of academic ability, I was not necessarily the best among the Jinshi scholars at that time. At least I knew that there were a few colleagues who were definitely not inferior to me. But in the end, Emperor Qi still chose me.

It’s not just about academic ability. I think it’s probably the relationship between me and my brother-in-law. At that time, Emperor Qi needed his brother-in-law as a general, so he used this method to win over..."

"This is the emperor's mind, the consideration of the superior." Da'an thought deeply.

"It seems that you have made a lot of progress in these days. Being able to do things in the court is not enough. You also need to be a good person, understand people's hearts, and be good at seeing the situation clearly. Only in this way can you be invincible and not be harmed...

"

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and continued: "Feng Yueheng from Dongling Academy is extraordinary. I didn't think he was that great before, but this time, this person is as stable as a mountain.

Wind, rain, thunder and lightning are as swift and violent as one strike, and a person like this, I think, will never be defeated in the court."

Many people, including her, thought Feng Yueheng would take action. Unexpectedly, from beginning to end, he remained silent and the timing was perfect.

"Sister, I will watch and study carefully."

Da'an and Yang Ruoqing chatted about family matters for a while, and then about matters in the court.

"By the way, sister, the Fuwa's nickname has been chosen, what should it be called?" Da'an suddenly remembered this. He had just said a nickname before and then said something else, which was delayed.

"Let's call her Yang Qingmo." Yang Ruoqing smiled.

"The mocai is clear and lively, and it sounds nice." Da'an nodded in agreement.

"There will be a competition between the imperial guards in a few days. Remember to place bets and earn some money to supplement your pocket expenses." Yang Ruoqing warned that she would not give money directly to Da'an unless Da'an needed help. After all, Da'an is the Hanlin Academy and has a salary.

Quite rich.

"Sister, I always take care of what you told me. A few days ago, I made a bet on you." Da'an said with a smile.

Yang Ruoqing nodded happily. Over the years, this kid Daan has achieved his own achievements, but he is still very obedient and not rebellious. This is pretty good.

…

While Yang Ruoqing and Da'an sister and brother were talking, Wang Meihua and Xiong Liguo had already entered the imperial city.

This was their first time entering the palace. Ordinary people would never have this opportunity. They could only glance at the city wall outside the palace from a distance. They were also the same. When they came to the capital earlier, they spent a lot of effort to settle in.

After coming down, we also bought a house near the relatively remote Erlang Street.

Of course, the house cannot be regarded as their private property, but should be regarded as the public property of the entire village. The money they spent to purchase the house was provided by the entire village.

"Husband, we are going to have a good performance soon." Wang Meihua said with a hint of excitement in her tone.

"Don't worry, with our ability, the emperor will definitely like us." Xiong Liguo was full of confidence.

They were waiting in the imperial garden, surrounded by flowers, fragrant and full of exotic flowers and fruits.

It was also the first time for them to see this kind of scene.

After waiting for a while, Qi Xingyun hurried over from afar. He had no choice but to deal with busy affairs every day, so he finally managed to deal with the matters at hand and hurried over.

"The queen of the people bows to your majesty with plum blossoms."

"Caomin Xiong Liguo comes to pay homage to His Majesty."

Wang Meihua and Xiong Liguo bowed down together. They were both ordinary people without official positions, so they naturally acted according to the rules of ordinary people.

"Pingshen." Qi Xingyun raised his hand.

"Without further ado, I believe Yang has told you why I'm here to see you this time. Now, follow me to the martial arts arena." Qi Xingyun said straight to the point.

He didn't have much time to delay. Of course, the sooner he could solve it, the better. There was no need to continue dragging it out, it was pointless.

In the Imperial Garden, Qi Xingyun later built a martial arts arena where he often exercised.

The venue here is not small, and there are all kinds of weapons. At this time, there are already two guards standing in the middle of the martial arts field.

Seeing Qi Xingyun coming with someone, two guards hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"These two are my imperial guards. Their names are Xie Hong and Cao Yuan. Now you can compete with them." Qi Xingyun said straightforwardly.

There is a small arena on the side of the martial arts arena, which is enough for two-by-two fights.

After receiving Qi Xingyun's order, Xie Hong jumped onto the ring and said, "Friends, do you want to fight with weapons or with fists and kicks?"

Xiong Liguo was the first to take the stage. With a serious face, he raised his hand and made a starting gesture and said, "Just use your fists and feet."

In fact, he is also very good at using weapons, but he uses heavy weapons and rarely uses swords. There is no shortage of swords and sticks here, but there is no shortage of heavy hammers and the like.

"Okay, if you don't show mercy, I won't hold back." Xie Hong said seriously.

Since it was a task assigned by the emperor to examine martial arts, as an imperial guard, he would naturally do his best.

Xie Hongyue stood up, tilted his body, and flew up with a kick.
