Lin Ran knew very well that being an official in the Ming Dynasty was about being with the light and the dust, and he must not be as independent as Hai Rui. Especially since he was born in the Hanlin Academy, he is already a fourth-grade official at a young age, and he doesn't need a sword to go sideways.

It's just that in the current situation, he needs to make his voice heard, so that he can have a matching status.

Like during the Chinese New Year, he went to meet Guo Pu, the secretary of the ministry, but Guo Pu regarded him as Wushan's fast son-in-law, rather than the dignified Shuntian Shuncheng, the second-in-command of the Shuntian Mansion.

After all, his age is too young, and his previous glorious resume was mainly in Guangdong officialdom, and his presence here in the capital has never been strong.

The high-flying capital naturally disdains the remote places of Guangdong, and its eyes are on the capital and the temples. As a result, many officials in the capital only regarded him as a junior, and even directly ignored him, rather than a true Shuntian prince.

If this concept is fixed, let alone another three years, I am afraid that in another ten years, he will still be the Shuntian Mansion Cheng of the fourth grade, and he will not be the successor of Shuntian Mansion Yin.

However, this year is the New Year of Jingcha, and it is the biggest major change in the imperial court in the past 20 years.

At present, these evildoers have offended him, if he is still wronged, he will always be a small character in the eyes of those big guys, not to mention what influence he has in Jingcha this year.

It is precisely because of this that he wants to take advantage of the topic this time, and directly use the son of the dignified Hubu Shangshu to establish a new image for the bigwigs in the capital, and even return to the iron-fisted image of Lin Leigong.

"The grass people meet Lord Fucheng!"

Shopkeeper Wu walked over from the workbench and saluted respectfully. Although he has met many officials, when it comes to potential, there is really no one who can compare with him.

"Shopkeeper, no need to be polite!" Lin Ran didn't have the previous aggressiveness, and said gently: "The repair of these two bronze swords will bother you!" ”

Shopkeeper Wu didn't seem to be fake, and said happily: "Being able to repair this bronze sword for adults, and it is still this kind of heirloom treasure, this is the blessing of the villain's third generation!" ”

Although the two blue-handled swords were in complete condition, the hilts were damaged to a certain extent, and Lin Ran wanted to match the scabbard, which was not something that could be done in a while.

However, Lin Ran has the financial resources to find good materials, and he is not in a hurry to repair them for a while. gave the shopkeeper Wu two silver taels, and made an appointment, so he chose to leave first with the bronze sword.

Walking out of the store, the streets outside have been bustling with activity, and many people are haggling for goods here.

"Brother, I know there's a donkey meat roast shop near here, I'll take you over to eat!" Tiger Girl was like a food detective, and immediately swallowed her saliva and said seriously.

Lin Ran looked at the serious appearance of the tiger girl, but couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face, nodded with a smile: "Okay!" ”

"Pinch me in the face again!" Hu Niu's eyes were full of resentment, but she didn't hate Lin Ran's action very much, but felt that her brother still treated her like a child.

Sometimes, she really feels helpless. She is obviously very smart and helps to do the things that her brother tells her well, but her brother always treats her as a child.

Lin Ran really treats the tiger girl as a child, and said with a smile: "When you are older, my brother can't pinch it if he wants to!" ”

The food shops that Hu Niu is looking for are often not in the middle of the streets, but in the depths of those narrow alleys. But I have to admit that she has a unique vision, and she can always bring surprises and taste buds to Lin Ran.

"Stop!"

Just in front of the alley, the tiger girl pointed to the side of the street and suddenly shouted, and the whole person pounced like a rabbit.

At the same time, Ali and the others reacted extremely quickly and followed.

Ay!

Lin Ran stood in place, but sighed deeply, helplessly looking at the tiger girl and the others in the distance. For this little girl with a sense of justice, he sometimes feels very helpless.

I really don't understand what this little girl thinks, can this thief be more important than accompanying her brother to dinner?

"Uncle Nineteen, I remember that donkey meat roast shop is inside, we can go inside and wait for her to come back!" Lin Fu pointed to the depths of the alley and said seriously.

Lin Ran looked up and couldn't see the figure of the wild girl of the tiger girl, knowing that he didn't know how long he had to wait here, so he left one person and chose to go directly to the shop to eat and wait.

The shops in the alley are not too much, the layout of the front store and the back yard, and it is a mom-and-pop shop. The woman seemed very enthusiastic, but she recognized the little rabbit and the little pig, and asked about the tiger girl.

Lin Ran found that the taste of donkey meat was really good, but without the wild girl of the tiger girl, she always felt that there was a little less taste. It didn't take long for the tiger girl to finally appear.

Surprisingly, Hu Niu did not bring back a thief, but brought back an old lady and a woman.

Lin Ran's gaze fell on the woman, although the woman's face was smeared with some charcoal ash, she had a sense of déjà vu, and she quickly recognized this woman.

When she was in Tongzhou City, Hu Niu kindly helped this woman block Jia Gongzi. It's just that who would have thought that the woman turned out to be a thief, causing the tiger girl to lose money in the end.

"Aunt Bai, burn the meat of the four donkeys for them!"

Hu Niu rushed to the female shopkeeper to grab something, and then walked towards the dining table where Lin Ran was with a big grin.

Lin Ran looked at the tiger girl who was sitting across the table, and said suspiciously: "Tiger girl, why did the sun hit the west today, when did you treat the thief so well?" ”

"Oops! She's not a thief! They went to the capital to avenge their grievances, but they didn't have any entanglements in Tongzhou, so they chose to steal the silver taels of the villain Jia Gongzi, and she was also forced to ...... What's coming? Tiger Niu immediately explained, but forgot to ask for help.

Lin Ran looked at this girl who still had a sense of justice helplessly, and said angrily: "Forced to be helpless"

"That's right! She was forced to do so! Tiger Niu nodded approvingly, already helping the woman clear her bad name.

"Why did you go to the capital to avenge your grievances again?"

Lin Ran's brows furrowed slightly, and he turned his head to look at the woman suspiciously, always feeling that there was a lot of article in it.

The woman, who was filial, took the donkey meat and roasted it, but did not rush to eat it, but handed it to the old lady, and brought the clear soup to the old woman. But he noticed Lin Ran's eyes, and gave him a grateful smile.
