Although this is only a rumor from the capital, if the matter is promoted by the Kaihai faction, and the squires of Guangzhou Mansion are surprisingly supportive, it will undoubtedly make things extremely difficult.

From the prefect of Leizhou to the prefect of Guangzhou, this is a big leap in his career, but in the eyes of the saint or those court bigwigs, it is just a small change in the prefect of a place.

From this point of view, as long as these news are true, the ability of the Kaihai faction is still there, and Lin Haoran's promotion to the prefect of Guangzhou and the secretary of Guangdong City must be a sure thing.

Guangzhou Mansion is the provincial capital, and the corresponding grade is the fourth grade, which has jurisdiction over thirteen counties in one state.

Once Lin Haoran is transferred to Guangzhou as the prefect, he will be one level higher, becoming the youngest official of the fourth rank in the Ming Dynasty, and he is in charge of the largest government in the Liangguang region.

Not only that, once Lin Haoran arrived in Guangzhou City, except for the three bigwigs of the Third Division and Wang Fang, the governor of Liangguang who often haunted Guangzhou City, no one dared to argue with him.

In particular, Wang Bai, the political envoy of Guangdong, has obviously fallen out of favor, and the position of Wang Fang, the governor of Liangguang, is precarious.

It is no wonder that a group of officials in Guangdong would be so anxious to come to Lin Haoran after hearing that rumor, which is indeed the best haven before the great storm in Guangdong.

"What? Guangdong according to the deputy envoy Yang Pinghai in person? ”

When they heard that a senior member of the fourth product personally carried a gift to congratulate the tiger girl on her birthday, many guests turned their heads to look in the direction of the door, and their faces were extremely shocked.

After a while, I saw Lin Haoran walking in accompanied by a little old man wearing a fourth-grade official robe, this little old man's face looked thin, but his complexion was very good, and he gave people a kind feeling.

is only a dignified member of the fourth grade, and he still serves in an important yamen such as the judge. Now that he came to congratulate the tiger girl, he obviously stammered Lin Haoran, and he did feel a little bit of losing his identity.

However, there were well-informed people present, and Yang Haiping had just served as a sub-patrol and was responsible for the work of the western Guangdong area. Now he came to celebrate Hu Niu's birthday, but it can't be said that he came from Guangzhou Mansion on purpose, or it can be said that it coincided with his meeting for official business.

Of course, no matter what the rhetoric is, the meaning of this deputy envoy is very obvious.

"Lord Yang, please!"

Lin Haoran led Yang Pinghai to the first table, and then pretended to give up the first seat to him. Although the other party intends to take refuge in him, after all, the other party's rank is higher than his, so he will naturally maintain a respect.

"No, this official is celebrating my sister's birthday, and she should be in the guest seat!" How could Yang Pinghai take the lead, and immediately resolutely prevaricated.

Although his rank is one level higher than Lin Haoran, and he is serving as a judge, he is compared with Lin Haoran. Regardless of whether the rumor from the capital was true or not, just being in charge of opening the sea in the Ming Dynasty or purchasing ambergris for the Holy Lord was enough for him to be out of reach.

Today, he participated in this congratulatory life, naturally "Xiang Zhuang sword dance, intended for Pei Gong", and he came completely for Lin Haoran, an upstart.

"Then the subordinate is respectful, it is better to obey his fate!"

Lin Haoran has always been "people respect me, I respect people", and he also accepted all the kindness shown by Yang Haiping. And in his officialdom in Guangdong, he really needs some more powerful allies.

He had known about this deputy envoy of Guangdong earlier, and he was indeed an ideal candidate.

Yang Pinghai is now nearly fifty years old, is Jiajing 17 years of the top three Jinshi background, from a small Qipin Zhi County, because of the good governance, the career is quite smooth.

It's just that after all, he doesn't have strong connections, and he is a decent person, and it took more than ten years to slowly climb to the position of deputy envoy of the fourth grade.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was the ci ministers who stepped on the ladder to the sky, and the fastest promotion was the speech officials, but more were ordinary officials. In essence, for officials with no background, Yang Pinghai's promotion speed is not slow.

Of course, in the whirlpool of Ming officialdom, everyone wants to seek progress.

Yang Pinghai came from afar today and seemed to have lost his identity, but he was a very shrewd speculation. After all, Lin Haoran's potential may not only help him, but even his descendants.

Once both parties were seated, the banquet officially began.

In addition to the abundant seafood, there are also birds from the sky and animals from the earth, and there is also a variety of wines.

The general gentry are all thumbs up, but the group of "sisters" invited by the tiger girl have greatly opened their eyes and eaten happily.

Although Lin Haoran and Hu Niu are brother and sister, but with Lin Haoran's introverted temperament, Hu Niu seems to be much more open, and she likes to do things as she likes.

Drink! Drink! Drink!

Dressed in festive costumes, the tiger girl stood in the middle of the stage, her fleshy face floated with murderous intent, and she held a short knife, where she performed a decent set of knife techniques to entertain the guests attending his birthday banquet.

"Good!"

"It really has the style of the country!"

"Lord Lin's Wen, Tiger Girl's Wu, it is really a civil and military family!"

……

Everyone was very cooperative, whether they were surprised by the tiger girl's knife skills or not, they all applauded her vigorously.

In fact, it was not only the Guangdong officialdom that was shocked, but also the gentry in Leizhou, whose brains were blank until now. knew that Lin Haoran had an unlimited future, but he didn't expect that he would be promoted so quickly to the prefect of Guangzhou who was the fourth product.

Although Lin Leigong wanted to stay away from Guangzhou Mansion, everyone understood that Leizhou Mansion could not get rid of his influence. Especially after he arrives in the provincial capital, his status in Guangdong will only be higher, and his influence will be greater, and even the next new prefect of Leizhou will have to act according to his face.

Shen Liuye and the others were happy, but they were worried in their hearts, and they didn't know how to eat the delicacies at this table.

Everyone has their own interests, although they know that Lin Haoran cannot serve as the prefect of Leizhou forever, but now he suddenly left, which undoubtedly caught him off guard.

Now most things need to be covered by Lin Haoran. It seems that a new combined fleet is being formed, and the preparation and recruitment of this personnel undoubtedly requires Lin Haoran to cover the sky for them with one hand.

The most important thing is that Haojing Wharf, as a subsidiary wharf of Leizhou Wharf, is most in line with the interests of their joint business and wealth. Once Haojing Wharf also becomes an external wharf, it will inevitably reduce the importance of Leizhou Wharf.

At this thought, they would prefer to maintain the status quo rather than Lin Haoran going to Guangzhou Mansion to take up a post.

"Little rabbit, little pig, little fox, little cicada, two dogs, let's go see the play in the City God Temple!"

Tiger Girl is still a carefree wild girl, and after a hurried meal, she leads a large group of children towards the street, intending to join in the great excitement caused by her.

As the sun sets, the golden platinum sunlight dyes an ancient city golden.

Two guards stood guard in front of the city ladder, not allowing anyone to climb to the top of the city easily. When they saw a young man dressed in a scholar's costume approaching, their faces immediately froze, but they immediately retreated sharply.

Although Lin Leigong has stepped down from the post of Haibei Bingbei, everyone understands who is the real person of Leizhou Wei. Just watched Lin Haoran pass by and saw him go to the city in person, their eyes flashed with surprise.

Unlike the tiger girl who often haunts the city, this lord of the mansion is often a dragon who sees the head but does not see the end.

Lin Haoran climbed the stairs, but suddenly discovered an unexpected truth: he had served as the prefect of Leizhou for so long, and it was the first time he had climbed to the top of this western city.

"Brother, can I not go up?" The tiger girl ate the candy man, and followed slowly and said crisply.

"Don't you like to run up to here every day?" Lin Haoran looked back at the slow figure, and suddenly asked helplessly.

The tiger girl stretched out her pink tongue and licked the candy man, raised her red face and explained crisply: "Yes! But I don't want to go up today! Really! ”

"Why is it so hard to get you on a trip? Tiger girl, believe it or not, I beat you? Lin Haoran looked at this girl so faceless, and immediately threatened.

Hu Niu stopped, immediately raised her face and argued seriously: "Brother, haven't I been following you all the time?" Besides, you can't beat me anymore! ”

"I ...... I can't beat it, that's your brother too! Lin Haoran suddenly sweated profusely, and found that his wild girl really had a brute strength.

"I know!" The tiger girl continued to walk up the stairs with her little short legs, and licked the candy man seriously: "When I'm wrong, you can still beat me!" ”

This pair of brothers and sisters is you and me, and it didn't take long for them to stand on top of Xichengtou.

Although Leizhou City is a capital city, the area is not large. The city is a square structure, while the outer city is a non-standard oval, which is the entire area of Leizhou City.

As a large number of people pour into this ancient city, new houses or shops appear, like an old tree that has sprouted new shoots, presenting a scene of vitality.

The tiger girl, who was still crying out and tired just now, suddenly quieted down when she arrived at the city. She stood there quietly, her moth eyebrows raised slightly, and there was a hint of joy hidden between them.

The big bright eyes first glanced out of the picturesque city, and the wind bent her long eyelashes and lifted a strand of bangs that she had attached to her forehead. She licked the candy man and looked at the bustling streets of the city with delight.

For this ancient city, Hu Niu has feelings, there are too many places she is familiar with, and there are too many people she is familiar with, and she even bought a house here to build a new home.

Lin Haoran looked at the city condescendingly, and suddenly, he understood why the wild girl Tiger Girl always liked to run to the city. From here, you can see the scenery of the castle.

He also has feelings for this ancient city. Although all his actions are for the sake of his career, seeing that the capital city under his rule is also so prosperous, he also has a sense of pride in his heart, and at the same time a sense of intimacy.

"Brother, what do you have in your hand?"

The tiger girl finally licked the candy man clean, but suddenly found that her brother was holding a silver tube and peeping into her eyes, but she asked curiously.

When Lin Haoran heard this, he glanced at her, and then said seriously: "This was originally a birthday gift for you, but I found that you were not obedient enough, I have to think about it seriously!" ”

"Oops! Brother, you don't know that I'm the kind of disobedient sister, so you can give it to me! The tiger girl complained for a while, and then stretched out her little hand to ask.

Lin Haoran avoided her, looked at her with a very firm attitude and said, "Don't give it!" ”

"Alright! Brother, then let's rock-paper-scissors, it's up to God! The tiger girl raised her fist, looked at him seriously and said,

Lin Haoran thought about it for a while and felt that this method was very fair, after all, God has always been fair.

"I won!"

Hu Niu's eyebrows raised lightly, and she looked at Lin Haoran with a smug expression.

Lin Haoran looked at his palm, and had an urge to chop it. If it's just once or twice, I've played this fair game with Tiger Girl more than 20 times, and I haven't won once.

Sometimes, he really feels that God is very unfair, otherwise why is this wild girl winning every time?

"Wow! Brother, how did people get bigger? ”

"Wow! Brother, I can see so far! ”

"Wow! Brother, I saw Sister Hua!"

……

The tiger girl was holding a monocular binocular, and she screamed in shock, and was so excited that she peeked around.

Lin Haoran looked at this wild girl knowingly, in order to please this wild girl, in order to surprise this wild girl, but she put in a lot of effort!

The afterglow of the setting sun faded and night began to fall.

Lin Haoran led the tiger girl down the brick ladder of the city wall slowly, and suddenly turned his head and asked the tiger girl: "Tiger girl, if my brother wants to be an official in other places, what will you do?" ”

"What can I do? Of course, I'll follow you! The tiger girl is still playing with the novel telescope in her hand, and she likes the pattern on it very much, and she prefers the line of small words given to her by her brother on it.

Lin Haoran watched her answer so decisively, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Don't you miss here?" ”

"Of course I miss it! But if you go there to be an official, I will definitely go there with you, we are brother and sister! And I'm different from you, I can come back here whenever I want, I'll be able to ride a horse next year when I'm nine years old, and I'll be able to go anywhere very quickly! Hu Niu stuck the binoculars on her waist and said seriously.

"......" Lin Haoran looked at this wild girl and found that all worries were superfluous.

This wild girl has been bold since she was a child, and she dared to go to Beijing to find him, if he was really carried to Guangzhou Mansion, I am afraid she would really run to Leizhou City in three days.

Of course, he has no bottom in his heart about whether he can be promoted to the prefect of Guangzhou, and he is also unable to see through his next future.
