Chapter 299 Qionglin Banquet(2/2)
Huang Lu said: "Although we are not married yet, we are already engaged. According to the custom of my hometown, we are members of the Huang family. My parents wish to be buried in the ancestral grave of my Huang family. I have asked the court for leave to return to my hometown and carve a monument for her with my own hands.
Years of mourning.”
Ding You, an official of the Song Dynasty, did not mourn for his wife, let alone one who had not yet passed the exam. As soon as Huang Lu passed the Jinshi examination, he took a year off and had to travel back and forth. Did he just give up this good career?
Zhang Yue hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't help but said: "Anzhong, you should think twice. In the future, you and I will be officials in the same court, so we must not ruin our career."
Huang Lu shook his head and said: "Come to think of it, right now I am in a state of chaos and have nothing else to ask for. You also know that I am not too keen on fame. Being able to reach the same rank as you is really a blessing in life. As for the rest, it depends on fate. .”
Zhang Yue was speechless upon hearing this.
Huang Lu was the fifth person to become a Jinshi. He had no plans for a bright future and asked for leave to go home willfully. This would leave an impression on the Ministry of Personnel that this official was self-willed.
If you don’t want to be an official anymore, how can others help you?
Zhang Yue didn't know what to say, so he had to comfort Huang Lu for a few words. Seeing that he continued to drink, Zhang Yue was afraid that he would become unconscious and make a fool of himself on the spot, so he had someone help him go home first.
When Zhang Yue came back, he happened to meet the banquet officer Shen Dun.
When the banquet officer Shen Yu saw Huang Lu helping someone to get into the carriage and leave, he couldn't help asking Zhang Yue: "Why did Huang Anzhong leave midway?"
Zhang Yue listened to Shen Tuan's words and seemed a little displeased. He also knew that Huang Lu's half-way departure from the banquet was not in accordance with the rules.
So I explained it to Shen Tuo. Shen Tuo was Zhang Yue, Huang Lu's first examiner for the palace examination, and he was also the teacher of the two in terms of title, so it should be understandable.
Hearing this, Shen Yu sighed in his heart, this Huang Lu is actually a person who values affection and righteousness, which is rare and rare.
However, Shen Tuan said on his face: "This is really not worth it. But I won't mention it to others."
After saying this, Shen Tuo looked at Huang Lu's carriage going away and couldn't help but think a little.
