Locust Tree Alley.

Lin Haoran cleaned up his broken mood, and just walked into the alley, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned. saw a large group of people surrounded in front of the mansion in front of him, all dressed as elegant scholars.

Presumably, the scholars of this era are not as pedantic as they imagined, and they all understand the truth that "there are people in the officialdom who are good officials", but they don't know whose door they worship, and whose family can be so beautiful?

"Why are you waiting for the people of Nanzhili to come here!"

"I and Xu Ge are fellow villagers, why not!"

"Elder Xu Ge has entered my Jiangxi nationality, and he is from Jiangxi!"

……

The two groups of people who were clearly divided had an argument at the door, and it seemed that there was still a big fight.

An old housekeeper walked out and said softly to them: "My master is not only from Jiangxi, but also from Nanzhili, don't hurt your peace, please come with me!" ”

A large group of people who had just won the battle with red ears stopped abruptly at this time, and they all gave gifts to the old housekeeper, and all of them resolutely changed to the image of a gentleman.

They are not fake, but they don't think that they are qualified to put on a score in front of Xu Ge Lao.

Sincere!

But it was three fast horses that suddenly rushed into the alley, but fortunately, Lin Haoran avoided it in advance, and maybe he would bump into these people.

There were three eunuchs on horseback, and the rank of the eunuch at the head did not seem to be low, so he turned over and dismounted and threw the horse rope to the old housekeeper who greeted him, and after asking a word, he hurriedly walked towards the Xu Mansion.

The crowd originally wanted to follow the old housekeeper in to meet Xu Ge Lao, but when they saw the eunuch suddenly appear, they were all stunned. Seeing him in such a hurry, it seemed that something big had happened in the imperial court.

Lin Haoran naturally didn't come to visit Xu Jie, but when he saw all this happening at the door, he suddenly didn't want to leave, and decided to stand in the distance and eat melon seeds and watch the excitement.

It was only a moment's effort, but I saw a thin old man wearing a first-class official robe walk out, his face looked very kind, and a pair of eyes full of gentleness slowly looked at everyone, resolutely the image of a kind elder.

Xu Jie is now a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and his official title is only the fifth grade, but he has added the title of "Prince and Prince", so he is an official of the Ming Dynasty, wearing a red official robe embroidered with cranes.

At the same time, the people at the door were in awe, and there was also a desire in their hearts, as if to say that if this official robe could be worn on themselves, then this life would be worth it.

Readers all over the world are not only pursuing the title of the gold list, but also eager for power to lean towards the government and the opposition.

"The old man is here to compensate your fellow villagers, the emperor urgently summoned, the old man wants to enter the palace to face the saint, please forgive me!" Xu Jie arched his hand towards the crowd, with a trace of sincere humility on his face.

"It doesn't matter! Anyway! ”

"Ge Lao, please go slowly!"

"Ge Lao is deeply enriched, and I am fortunate in Jiangxi!"

……

The crowd cleared an aisle and saluted him. Even if they are very reluctant to be this result, but now that the emperor has summoned them urgently, how can they stop it?

And now that Xu Jie can have this kind of attitude, even if they run for nothing, they don't complain at all, but there is still some satisfaction and pleasure.

The sedan chair man had already lifted a broken sedan chair to the door, Xu Jie said some words of encouragement to the person in front of the door, and then walked to the sedan chair.

Before entering the sedan chair, Xu Jie also saw Lin Haoran standing not far away, as if he mistakenly thought that he was also coming to the house to worship the door, and nodded gently at him, which was regarded as a greeting.

After doing all this, he got into the sedan chair, and the sedan chair walked leisurely towards Xi'an Street.

"Xu Ge is frugal and honest, and he is a model for my generation!"

A young man looked at the small sedan chair in the distance and sighed with admiration. When others heard this, they also echoed it, and all kinds of praises followed.

Lin Haoran, who was standing not far away, heard this, but he scoffed.

Although Xu Jie took the initiative to greet him just now, he felt flattered in his heart, but he never had too much good impression of this person.

Xu Jie's dwarf is a little shabby, but if this judges him to be incorruptible, it is really a big mistake, and his family is afraid that only Yan Song can compare with him.

Regardless of the family's money, the Xu family has more than 200,000 acres of fertile land, tenants are not 10,000, and they also open a very large weaving farm, and they are the richest people in Songjiang Mansion.

Now that I am riding this kind of dilapidated correction, the mansion I live in is not conspicuous, I am afraid that it is just for the people of the capital to see.

This alley seems to be very extraordinary, this outside lives the Ming Dynasty second assistant Xu Jie, but inside is the mansion of Wu Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and several other mansions seem to be the homes of the eunuchs.

Wu Shan's mansion is in the innermost, it looks very magnificent, and there are two stone lions with teeth and claws in front of the door. Although the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival have long passed, there are still two red lanterns hanging high in front of the door.

It's just that there is a world of difference from Xufu, where Xufu is a door, but here is a crowd. There was not half a figure in front of this gate, and even the people who had just dispersed over there did not come here.

Wu Shan is a native of Gao'an County, Jiangxi, and Yan Song is a real fellow villager, Jiajing 14 years of Jinshi, born in the Hanlin Academy, the official reputation is quite good, and he previously refused to marry with the coming family.

However, after Li Mo's party was purged, the power of the imperial court was reshuffled, and Yan Party became the biggest profiteer, and Wu Shan was also one of the biggest profiteers.

At the time of the incident, Wu Shan was the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials, and it is said that he was one of the most promising candidates to take over the secretary of the Ministry left by Li Mo, but this position was obtained by Wu Peng, the squire of the Ministry of Labor of the Yan Party.

If this is the case, Wu Shan is not a talent in the Yan Party, after all, no matter how he looks at it, he should be ranked before Wu Peng.

It's just that after Li Mo's "fellow party" Wang Yongbin of the Ministry of Rites was demoted to Nanjing, Wu Shan successfully took over the position of the Ministry of Rites and picked up a big pie.

From the left side of the Ministry of Officials to the Ministry of Rites, this is a huge leap. If there are no greasy ones, it really doesn't make sense, so Wu Shan may already be a member of the strict party.

Lin Haoran knocked on the red lacquered door of the Wu Mansion, and after explaining his intentions, he handed the letter of introduction and the letter of worship to the porter.

Although the letter of introduction was hidden in oiled paper and tightly wrapped, some water still seeped into the sea, and everything looked a little crumpled, but fortunately the handwriting was very clear.

The porter couldn't help frowning when he looked at the ravaged letter of introduction, but he returned after only a moment, stuffed the letter of introduction back to him and said, "My lord is not at home, please go back!" ”

"Hey!"

Lin Haoran still wanted to ask when he would come back or something, but the door had already been slammed shut, and he was almost hit on his handsome nose. Thinking of Xu Jie's kindness to the lifter, he even took the initiative to nod his head to say hello on the way, this product is too serious for himself, no wonder there are so many people here. 8)
