The dining room of the house is located on the east side, facing a high wall in the front yard. There were some flowers and plants planted under the high wall, but they have now withered, leaving behind some unrecognizable flower stems.

With Lin Haoran's return, the banquet here officially began, and the four of them raised their glasses and drank bitterly.

These 37-year-old Enke Jinshi in Jiajing have gradually changed from rookies in the officialdom to cadres in the officialdom, and each of them has their own experiences.

After Ning Jiang passed the transition from the trainee director of Zheng Bapin, he served as the director of the Military Election and Qing Officials Department of the Ministry of War, and embarked on the road of competition for the officials of the six departments, and the next step will be to compete for the position of the foreign officer.

Although Yang Futian relied on money to open the way, he followed Ningjiang's path similarly, and he also successfully served as the director of the Ministry of Industry, which can also be regarded as the road of competition for the officials of the six ministries.

However, Zhang Wei, a fellow villager in Guangdong who had a good relationship with them, was not so lucky, although he was selected by the Supervision Yuan, he did not succeed in staying in the capital, but was sent to Shandong to serve as the supervision of the seventh grade.

Xu Wei is still in the Hanlin Academy, but his prestige and qualifications are growing, and he has a great chance to take over as a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy after the six-year examination, and his potential is undoubtedly the greatest.

Of course, the most dazzling is naturally Lin Haoran, who was born as a champion. After more than three years in Guangdong, he came back in a circle, and he was already a high-ranking Shuntianfu Cheng.

Lin Haoran reunited with this group of fellow students, and he was very happy in his heart, as if he had returned to the happy old days.

A few hot dishes, plus a few pots of hot wine, and dried sandworms brought from Leizhou, made the four of them very happy.

After all, they haven't seen each other for many years, and the three of them are curious about Lin Haoran's experience, and Lin Haoran is also very interested in the situation of the three of them in Beijing, so they chatted one after another.

"The Ministry of War's military selection and clearance department is already a miasma, and I am in a panic inside, there is nothing to say at all!" Ning Jiang seemed to be full of resentment, and shook his head while drinking.

Yang Futian looked even fatter, his two small eyes narrowed into a slit, but he said complacently: "I'm fine!" I eat meat when I have it, and drink wine when I have it, but I have followed my father's advice and never take the initiative to reach out for money. ”

Xu Wei found that everyone was looking at him, put down the wine glass and said helplessly: "The current Hanlin Academy is harmonious, and I am the deputy editor-in-chief of "Talking about the Past and the Present", and most of my energy is also focused on the compilation of "Talking about the Past and the Present". ”

Although the tone was flat, the three of them could still hear the pride in it. As the sales of "Talking about the Past and the Present" increased, so did its influence, and Li Wei must be proud of it.

Ning Jiang sighed lightly and concluded: "Our brothers are still very good, but this time it has only been more than three years in Guangdong, but they have done a lot of great things!" This benefits my hometown, not to mention, but also relieves the financial tension, as a model for my generation, I want to be a prefect in the future! ”

Lin Haoran has learned Qi cultivation kung fu with Wang Bai over the years, and in the face of such a pursuit, he only smiled indifferently and said: "This release is a lot freer, and there is no need to be vigilant and calculating all the time, and it is even more important to be a prefect in a remote area." It's just that if you really want to do great things, if you really want to change the status quo of the Ming Dynasty, then you have to be in the capital! Ning Jiang, you may not be happy now, but there is still a chance to change the situation of the dynasty, if you are really released, it will be difficult to come back, and then it will be the real torment. ”

Ning Jiang is an upright official, disappointed in the current situation, and even more disappointed in the current situation of the military election and Qing Officials, so he wants to go to the local prefect to do some practical things.

It's just that after listening to Lin Haoran's remarks, he knew that Lin Haoran was extremely right, so he dispelled the immature idea in his heart, and seriously arched his hand and said: "Senior brother is right, I am too reckless!" ”

"I told you a long time ago, you should know how to be tactful, like me, how comfortable you are!" Yang Futian glanced at Ning Jiang lightly, and followed the preaching with pride.

Ning Jiang's face was slightly cold, and he immediately scolded: "You scum, shut up Lao Tzu!" Not anyone's words can enter his ears, especially Yang Futian is still the object of his contempt, so naturally he does not allow the other party to make irresponsible remarks.

Ning Jiang and Yang Futian seemed to be natural enemies, and in the middle of these few words, they began to quarrel.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Xu Wei suddenly interjected: "Ruoyu, you went to visit the teacher just now, what did the teacher say to you." ”

Respecting teachers has long been deeply chromium on their bone marrow, especially Wu Shan is indeed worthy of their respect.

After hearing this question, Yang Futian and Ning Jiang both chose a truce and looked at Lin Haoran, also wanting to know what he had talked about with the teacher.

Lin Haoran took a sip of wine, his eyes met the three people like curious babies, but he said frankly: "The teacher told me about the situation in the court, and mentioned that Xu Ge wants to ...... Woo the teacher! ”

"Xu Jie was Yan Song's concubine a few years ago, but now that Yan Song has lost power, Yan Shifan is forced to guard at home, but he is active!" Ning Jiang was still as vicious as ever, and said mockingly.

"You can't say it so badly! Yan Song was already old, and Lu Ben and Yan Shifan were forced to leave the cabinet again, so Xu Jie naturally took advantage of the trend. Yang Futian didn't think that Xu Jie was doing something wrong, and said happily: "Now that Xu Ge is trying to win over the teacher, it's a good thing!" ”

"What a fart! What is the difference between Xu Jie and Yan Song? Both of them are the same dog, and they don't have the courage to carry out reforms and innovate the Ming Dynasty. Ning Jiang rolled his eyes and said indignantly.

"Joke!" Yang Futian was enraged again, and immediately said-for-tat: "Really follow your set and point the finger at various interest groups, either the second Fan Zhongyan, or the world is in chaos!" ”

Xu Wei is the oldest, and he has always been calm when encountering things, facing this pair of living treasures, he first coughed lightly, and then dissuaded: "Don't argue first, wait for Ruoyu to finish speaking!" ”

Yang Futian and Ning Jiang stopped arguing, but there was still a trace of lightning when their eyes met.

Xu Wei's face was serious, and he asked seriously at Lin Haoran: "Ruoyu, how did you reply, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Today, whether it is Lin Haoran's achievements or Lin Haoran's upcoming son-in-law of Wu Shan, his influence on Wu Shan is increasing. And Lin Haoran's point of view will naturally affect Wu Shan's choice to a certain extent.

"Yuan Wei's entry into the pavilion is actually cutting off the teacher's way to enter the pavilion, so Xu Jie is very likely to cross the river and tear down the bridge in the future!" Lin Haoran didn't hide it, and immediately said seriously: "I propose to the teacher: The big tree is towering, don't rely on it!" ”

The reason why he said this was to win over these three people, in addition to having a heart-to-heart relationship with the three of them. After all, his influence alone is limited, but with the help of these three, the success rate is undoubtedly greater.

What's more, the three hundred and sixty fellow students were united, and while persuading Wu Shan, they did something together.
