After leaving Donghua Gate, Du Zhongxiao wiped the sweat from his forehead. During this meeting, he felt not nervous from beginning to end, but unexpectedly he sweated on his forehead. He had only been in the environment in Chongzheng Hall a few times, which was indeed restricted.

This time, the emperor was generally not bad, and the emperor was quite satisfied with Du Zhongxiao. The Censor Zhongcheng is still a position with constant change of responsibilities. In general, after the emperor ascended the throne, it has gradually become more important. Especially when the appointment of personnel, the priest is not allowed to interfere, and he has the ability to restrain the priest. Du Zhongxiao wanted to make some changes, but the emperor did not object.

This is an era of great change. From politics to military, I don’t know how much it has changed. There is nothing wrong with the change of the Censor Zhongcheng.

Luo Jing and others were outside the door. When they saw Du Zhongxiao coming out, they hurried forward and said, "The official has come out. The wife told me that today is the day when the official comes to the new home in the capital. The family invited neighbors to celebrate."

Du Zhongxiao said: "What are you celebrating? You have lived in the capital for more than a month. I am now a censor, so I must not get these false names."

Luo Jing just laughed and said nothing. Han Yueniang in the mansion wanted to be lively and the master wanted to be quiet, so he couldn't say anything.

Du Zhongxiao's new home is in Anyefang behind Daxiangguo Temple. The original owner was a businessman who failed in business. Because he was eager to use money, he sold the house. The most important thing that the Du family could buy was that they could pay cash immediately. There were not many families with this financial resources in Kaifeng City.

The new home is not far from the palace, and he rode a horse with Luo Jing and took his entourage. Du Zhongxiao was carrying the setting sun on his back and arrived at the door of his new home. The head of the door was the old man from the original home. When he saw Du Zhongxiao, he ran home like a flying report.

Du Zhongxiao dismounted, and his parents and Han Yueniang had already greeted him with their children. The father smiled and Han Yueniang smiled and said nothing. Only the mother could not help but wipe her tears because she had not seen each other for many years.

He went up to pay a great gift to his parents, and Du Zhongxiao said, "The child is unfilial and has been in the border area for several years, but he has not seen the two old people."

Du Xun took Du Zhongxiao's hand, looked and looked, and said, "You should naturally put state affairs first. We are still young, what's the matter? Now that you have become an official in Beijing, we have also bought a house in the capital. From now on, we have been safe and secure. I don't know how many people want to envy you! I heard that you entered Beijing today, and several of yours came to ask me a few times in the same year, and agreed to come to see you tonight."

At this time, Du Zhongxiao, who was an official in the capital, had five or six people in the same year. The biggest one was Wang Gui, who had already been a Hanlin bachelor. When he was a Jinshi, he had been an official for many years, with a high ranking and good literary talent, which was not comparable to others. In particular, Wang Gui was very well drafted and was not comparable to others. Therefore, the fastest way to get promoted from the master of imperial edicts to become a Hanlin bachelor was at this time.

In addition to Wang Gui, there were also Wang Anshi, who was the judge of the group shepherd, Su Song from the Taichang Liyuan at this time, and several small officials. They were familiar with Du Zhongxiao. When they heard that Du Zhongxiao came to Beijing today, they made an appointment to come to see each other.

After entering the yard, Du Xun said, "You go back to the room to wash with Yue Niang. The sun is about to set, and your same year is coming. You must not lose your etiquette. Although you are a senior official now, you will need these same year help in the future."

Du Zhongxiao nodded with a smile and returned to his residence with Han Yueniang. These people of his age are not simple characters, and they must rely on each other in the future. But as his father said it so bluntly, people in the officialdom cannot say it.

When he returned to his residence, Han Yueniang said, "You suddenly led your troops north and couldn't even go to see you off. After leaving for more than three years, it really makes people feel anxious when I think about it. Have you been living outside in the past few years?"

Du Zhongxiaoqing hugged Han Yueniang's shoulder and said, "Okay, there is no difficulty. It's just that when you are alone outside, you often miss the people at home. That kind of life is hard to bear. Now, if you go to the capital to become an official, you will not talk about other benefits, but reunite with your family."

After a long separation, it was a time for two people. The child was taken by the nurse. Du Zhongxiao and Han Yueniang sat in front of the window, telling the story of the separation over the past few years, and there was a warm feeling. I haven't felt this feeling for a long time, this kind of home feeling.

I don’t know how long it took, but my father’s voice came from outside: “Have you finished packing up? The same year has arrived!”

Du Zhongxiao hurriedly agreed, and Han Yueniang took off his husband's uniform and changed into regular clothes. Today, the man wearing formal court clothes was particularly troublesome, and he was in a hurry for a while. After helping Du Zhongxiao change, Han Yueniang couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed.

Du Zhongxiao also laughed and said to Han Yueniang: "The most important thing for being a Jinshi is the person on the same list back then. Today, I went to Beijing, and these people came to meet each other in the same year, which shows that. In the future, I will walk with them more in the capital."

Han Yueniang said, "I know naturally. Although I am the daughter of a wine seller, I won't cause trouble for you."

Du Zhongxiao gently patted Han Yueniang on the shoulder and left the door. Several children were playing in the yard. Because they were not familiar with Du Zhongxiao, they timidly called him father and stood there. At this time, Du Zhongxiao had no time, so he greeted them and went outside.

In the living room, Wang Gui was headed by Wang Anshi, Su Song and others were talking gossiping. When he saw Du Zhongxiao coming, he stood up and asked for the gifts together.

After talking about the ceremony, everyone took a seat. Du Zhongxiao said, "It is rare to return to Beijing today and come to pay homage to you. There will be no morning court tomorrow. I will be drunk tonight and tell us the feelings of separation."

Wang Gui said: "If you don't bother to you after you're late, you will naturally be unable to ask for it."

Du Zhongxiao said: "I arrived at the inn the day before yesterday and have been on vacation for two days. What's the hard work? We haven't seen each other for many years, so we should talk about our farewell."

After saying that, Du Zhongxiao said, "There is a table of wine banquet in the backyard of my home today, waiting for you to come. It's getting late, so we went to the backyard, where we drink and talk about gossip."

Everyone had no objection, and stood up together and went to the backyard. The rest of the family took the initiative to avoid it at this time. The Du family was originally a small family and was not familiar with people in the officialdom. After Du Zhongxiao passed the Jinshi, he started to make a name for himself. In the same year, only Su Song and the Du family were familiar with each other, but others had only heard of it and had never seen it. This time, when he returned to Beijing to become an official, the Du family had to slowly become familiar with it before they could open up the situation.

They each sat down and filled with wine. Du Zhongxiao said, "I haven't seen each other for many years, let's drink a drink!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all, and while eating the dishes, they were talking about gossip.

Wang Gui said: "We have been in the second year of Qingli, and it has been fourteen years since the blink of an eye. In the past fourteen years, Huo Xiao has gone from a magistrate, a small county magistrate, to a commander, and has made countless contributions. Today, he became the Chief Censor of the Censor. He is really a role model for us. Let's drink a glass of wine to congratulate Xiao!"
