This tea room is very elegant, with jars of tea on the shelves next to it, and the names of the tea leaves are pasted on them for easy identification.

A young woman in a purple Luo skirt boiled the mountain spring water, stepped forward to salute, and asked the crowd gently, "Guest officer, what kind of tea do you want?" ”

Where did Wang Honghai and the other four dare to make a decision, they all looked at Lin Ran.

The young woman was fair-skinned and had a medium-to-high appearance. She is also a shrewd person, knowing who is the core of this group, and tilting her neck slightly to look at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran dressed as a scholar, glanced at the tea leaves on the shelf, and immediately made a choice: "Songluo tea!" ”

The young woman's eyes flashed with a different color, but she still responded with a "whoo", and then quietly retreated to the tea shelf to take down the pineapple tea and make tea for these distinguished guests.

Among the four protégés, the youngest is 20-year-old Wang Honghai, and the oldest is 40-year-old Shen Tao. Because Wang Honghai's skin is dark, he looks bigger than Lin Ran, who has fair skin.

It's just that in front of the status of teacher and student, even if Shen Tao is older than Lin Ran's father, he still has to be respectful, and he has to do it all his life, this is the shackles of etiquette in this era.

What's more, Lin Ran is the Zhengsanpin Shuntian Mansion Yin from the Hanlin Academy, a big man who is destined to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, where can they be compared to a small mole in officialdom.

As the woman walked away, there was an air of humility in the air.

Lin Ran understood this, but he didn't mean to mingle with his protégé, but slightly held the teacher's shelf, looked at Wang Honghai and asked with concern: "Shao Chuan (Wang Honghai's words), is there any news from Qiongzhou Mansion?" ”

Wang Honghai has already made a marriage in Qiongzhou Mansion, and after high school this time, the two families are planning to start a family for Wang Honghai.

Because the capital is separated from Qiongzhou Mansion by thousands of rivers and mountains, and there is also a Qiongzhou Strait, Wang Honghai takes a trip to Qiongzhou Mansion very time-consuming, and he doesn't know that he will be able to come back in the Year of the Monkey.

is also the case, both families are unwilling to delay Wang Honghai's future because of the wedding, so they decided to send the woman to the capital to worship and marry.

As a teacher, Lin Ran has both rights and obligations. After learning the news, he proposed that the woman's people go north with the fleet of the joint merchant group, and then transfer to Hangzhou from the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to the capital, and the joint merchant group would be responsible for the woman's safety.

"Back to the teacher's words! My future father-in-law was worried about the safety of the road, but when he learned that it was the United Fleet escort, he said that he was already at ease, and asked me to thank the teacher! Wang Honghai's eyes showed gratitude, and he immediately saluted.

Lin Ran didn't ask for anything in return, and said lightly: "This matter is just a gesture!" If people want to get to the capital, it may take several months. It's useless for you to worry and miss now, so it's better to do your part seriously and integrate into the Hanlin Academy as soon as possible. ”

"Dare to ask the teacher, how exactly should I do it?" Wang Honghai mustered up some courage to ask for advice seriously, and said with a very self-motivated appearance.

Lin Ran glanced up at him, and said with a reminiscing smile on his face: "In the past, when I first entered the Hanlin Academy, just like you, I asked my teacher, the current Lord Taishan, about this!" ”

"How did Shigong answer?" Wang Honghai's eyes were full of curiosity, and he immediately asked.

Wang Jun and the other three also looked at Lin Ran, looking very curious.

In their hearts, Shigong is a legend. Jiajing's fourteen-year-old Tanhualang, the current Hubu Shangshu, is not only knowledgeable, but also a model of virtue in the world, so that their disciples and grandchildren also have a bright face.

As she spoke, the woman brought the tea and went about her job carefully.

Lin Ran sniffed the pineapple tea gently, and then looked at his disciple with a smile and said, "I remember that back then, your master told me: Cultivate energy storage, first learn and then abyss!" ”

This is not a lie, Wu Shan in the past really hoped that Lin Ran would stay in the Hanlin Academy to study peacefully, and he would also embark on a standard path of words and ministers like him.

When Wang Honghai and the others heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up slightly, this is worthy of what their master said, it is really full of life philosophy.

The corners of Lin Ran's mouth curled slightly, but he turned his head to look at Wang Honghai and said seriously: "However, the teacher doesn't plan to tell you like this now, but gives you another eight words: low-key life, high-profile work!" ”

"Please ask the teacher for advice!" Wang Honghai looked very confused and arched his hand.

Wang Jun and the others were the same, and they all looked at their teachers in confusion, but they didn't know how to understand this eight-character mantra.

Lin Ran took a sip of tea gently, and then said eloquently: "Cultivating energy storage, first learning and then abyss, this is the practice of the word minister. They put their energy into the historical books in order to seek the way to govern the country and become a virtuous minister who governs the country. It's just that you see that in the past 20 years, who can really walk this path and really be able to carry out the policy of governing the country and securing the country? ”

After a pause, he looked at Wang Honghai again and asked: "When you first arrived at the repair and inspection hall of the Hanlin Academy, the teacher opened a convenient door for you, allowing you to directly enter the editorial office of "Talking about the Past and the Present". ”

"Student Yudun, please teach the teacher!" Wang Honghai listened carefully and replied carefully.

Lin Ran met his gaze and explained solemnly: "As a teacher, I hope that you will not only study the historical books, but also focus on "Talking about the Past and the Present", take a good look at the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, and hope that you can put forward some really useful countermeasures to this. You still have to study in a low-key manner in the Hanlin Academy, but in "Talking about the Past and the Present", I hope that you can be high-profile and dare to express some current opinions that you think are beneficial to the country! ”

Wang Jun and others suddenly realized that the eight words dare to love are so understood, and they also contain the way of doing things.

Wang Honghai felt Lin Ran's kindness, and even pointed him out a bright road, and immediately arched his hand seriously: "The teacher is so supportive to the students, and the students are grateful!" ”

"When you first entered the officialdom, I am afraid that you still don't know the sinister nature of officialdom, and what remarks should not be made indiscriminately. In the future, if you write down the current policy, you should send it to the teacher here to help you see it first! Lin Ran was very satisfied with this child's attitude, and immediately said kindly.

Wang Honghai's eyes immediately flashed with joy and said, "So, thank you first!" ”

Wang Jun looked at the woman who was making tea in Youya, but suddenly found that the teacher's eyes fell on him, and he immediately felt nervous, knowing that it was his turn to point to him.
