Gou Yao was from a poor family, and he stayed at Lu Dongbin's house on the eve of the imperial examination. However, he fell in love with the girl next door. He wanted to marry her but could not afford the betrothal gift, so he turned to Lu Dongbin for help.
Because Lu Dongbin was worried that Gou Yao would become obsessed with women and ruin his future, he made a very excessive request: he could let Gou Yao marry, but he had to spend three days in the bridal chamber first. Gou Yao finally gave in.
Naturally, Lu Dongbin did not do such a thing as to cheat on his friend's wife, otherwise he would not have been a good person. The three days of the bridal chamber were nothing more than three days of reading in the room.
After Gou Yao knew about this, he studied even harder, and finally passed the imperial examination and became an official. Later, when Lu Dongbin encountered difficulties, he went to Gou Yao for help. Although Gou Yao helped him, he also took revenge and teased Lu Dongbin in the same way.
Both of them started out complaining, but eventually realized the other's kindness.
As Lü Dongbin's status continued to rise, the rumor that Gou Yao bit Lü Dongbin and did not know how to appreciate a good person spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. However, many people did not know the specific details, and as a result of rumors, the rumor turned into "Lü Dongbin was bitten by a dog and did not know how to appreciate a good person."
Every time it is mentioned, it becomes a joke, mainly used to make fun of Gou Yao.
Gou Yulong nodded and replied, "Life in the dojo is a bit too depressing, and although I think I have good knowledge, I can't reach the level of the dojo.
The correct version of this content can be found on 6/9*Shu.ba%! 【6*9*S*H*UBA.CX】
If you want to enter the dojo, then let Taoist Priest Lu assess you. As long as you have enough knowledge, then let His Majesty verify it. If there is no problem, then that's it. Even if you don't have enough knowledge, you can just enter the academy for further studies.
Wang Zheng looked at Gou Yulong, who was pulling the corners of his mouth hard, and couldn't help but give him a look of pity. Gou Yao was an old man who was very stubborn. In order to find a backer for his grandson, he was so shameless.
The next step is official career. If you want to enter the court, then you have come to the wrong place. It is easier to go directly to your former classmates and superiors than to me. After all, I usually don’t care about the affairs of the court. "
The rules have been implemented on land in Lingnan. If you want to have a future, you can only go to sea. But things on the sea are unpredictable. Even with the third brother's great ability, I heard that he often encounters problems. So let's forget about Yulong.
Xiao Yuehua explained it to Zhang Xin and the others, which also made the girls laugh. If the master hadn't been there, they might have burst out laughing.
Gou Yao laughed at himself and said, "What kind of face do I have? I have worked hard all my life but I am only a county magistrate. As for knowledge, I think I am not bad, but I am only a county magistrate."
"Okay, then let Yulong go to Nanzhao. Ping'an and Li Xian will be back for the New Year this year. Let Yulong stay in the house of the Grand Steward for a while, and then go there with Ping'an after the New Year."
Lu Dongbin also nodded and said, "With your connections in Yuzhou, you don't need to come to Chang'an to beg us, right? Besides, Yulong's knowledge is not bad, even if he takes the formal route, he should have a good future, right?"
The situation is similar in several other places.
Wang Zheng looked at Gou Yulong and smiled at Gou Yao, "You came all the way to Chang'an, it must be for your matter, right? If you have any requests, just ask. We will naturally not refuse if we can help you."
Wang Zheng hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay, since you've said this, we must lend a hand. So, tell me what you want Yulong to do.
"No matter how good your knowledge is, it must be appreciated by someone. After all, many things are often ambiguous. Since I know you two and Yulong is doing well, I must be thick-skinned for once, otherwise I will let down my descendants."
Gou Yao was silent for a long time, and finally asked his grandson: "What do you think? Do you still insist on going to the borderland?"
Young people like Gou Yulong are very easy to become targets of others. If he is an unknown person, it would be better for him to be sent to a local county to suffer. If he relies on Wang Zheng's relationship to enter the court, he will definitely be in trouble.
The key is that Your Majesty must pass the verification from His Majesty. No one can help with this. As for the rest, Taoist Lu will be there for you. "
Looking at Gou Yulong who was bowing to him, Wang Zheng smiled with satisfaction and nodded, saying, "In fact, it's not bad to go to the borderland. After all, those places are always the territory of the Tang Dynasty. My Yuzhou clan is only in power for a while, and it won't be long before it will be returned to the imperial court.
Won't I also attend the court when the time comes? Your Majesty has already put this on the agenda and has discussed it with me many times."
Gou Yao was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and agreed, "Okay, since the chief steward thinks that the borderland has a future, and the kid is willing, then we can go to the borderland, but we don't need to go to Lingnan.
I think Nanzhao is a good place. Yulong can help his uncle Ping'an a little bit if he goes there. What do you think, Chief Steward?"
It’s not that Wang Zheng really had no other choice, he just didn’t want Gou Yulong to enter the court. After all, the relationship between Li Xian and Wu Zetian was becoming increasingly tense, and there were fierce open and secret struggles in the court. If many people who didn’t know the reason entered the court, they might become cannon fodder if they were not careful.
Gou Yao nodded and said, "I understand this. Your Majesty's verification is absolutely correct. Although my Gou family is not a big family, our ancestors are well documented."
These two sentences are just those of a county magistrate, but they express his full sadness and complaints.
As for entering the court, hey, today I will tell you the truth, I don't like Confucianism, I still prefer your teachings more."
Wang Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "That's good. Apart from the Taoist temple, we can go to the borderland. This is easy. Even if you want to go to the richest Lingnan, it's just a matter of a word. I can agree to it directly.
As the old man spoke, he slapped Gou Yulong and scolded him, "Why don't you thank me quickly?"
Gou Yulong quickly bowed to Wang Zheng and said, "Thank you, sir. I am sorry for your trouble."
Wang Zheng extended his hand and patted him lightly, saying with a smile: "Sit down and talk. You know I don't care about these empty formalities. As long as you work hard and do your job with a clear conscience, it will be your thanks to me, your teacher."
Zhang Xin frowned as she watched Gou Yao's performance.
Lu Dongbin also sighed secretly, thinking that Gou Yao was full of knowledge in the past, but unfortunately after all these years in official career, he had become full of complaints.
