Dashi Yongfang, Lingshi Hutong.

Lin Haoran did not report directly to the ministry, but returned to the house in Beijing first. This house was originally lent to Zhao Dongcheng and his wife to live in, but when he learned that Lin Haoran was transferred back to the capital, he also moved out of here in advance.

Although more than three years have passed, the laneways and houses here have not changed much, and they are still largely the same.

However, the branches of the locust tree across the alley of the alley appear thicker, the red lacquered gate that was repainted by the tiger girl in the past has lost its bright color, and the stone lion in front of the door has some more black points, but it is difficult to resist the erosion of the years.

It's just that when I came back here, whether it was Lin Haoran, or Hu Niu and others, there was a long-lost sense of intimacy.

At that time, Lin Haoran was only a newcomer who had just entered the officialdom, and he didn't dare to have much hope for the future. But at that time, their life was simple and happy, and living here seemed quiet and comfortable.

I, Hu Hansan is back again!

Lin Haoran looked at this familiar everything, and a sense of excitement surged in his heart. Although this house is small, it is located in the capital, and everything will become tense and exciting.

"How did our family get smaller?"

The tiger girl ran into the courtyard excitedly, but she frowned and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar courtyard, and muttered in confusion on her meaty face.

Lin Haoran didn't break through the fact that this wild girl's horizons had been relaxed, and handed over the matter of settling down to Hu Niu, while he changed into a set of clean clothes, and led the iron pillar to leave the house with gifts, and walked towards the locust tree alley next door.

Whether it is out of the teacher-student relationship, or because of the future relationship between Weng and son-in-law, or to hug a thick thigh, he should be the first to visit Wushan as soon as possible.

After passing through Xu Jie's mansion, I found that compared with the past, it seemed much more lively here, and there were constantly officials coming in and out here. This is undoubtedly also a portrayal of officialdom, where those who gain power are in the market, and those who lose power are crowded.

Obviously, Xu Jie's current spring breeze is already a time of pride, and soon the Ming Dynasty will carry out the Xu Jie era.

"Please follow me! The master is meeting guests, please wait a moment. ”

The housekeeper personally led Lin Haoran to the flower hall, squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

Lin Haoran knew that behind this enthusiasm, not only because he was Wu Shan's most proud protégé, but also because of Wu Shan's identity as his future son-in-law, he quietly followed him to the flower hall.

While the maids were serving tea, the two waitresses had obviously taken a few more glances at him, and it seemed that someone else was hiding in the shadows to spy on him.

Although he has the feeling of being a monkey in a zoo, he still has this concentration, and he sits in the flower hall with a calm expression and eats tea, tasting this kind of tea that is not low or low.

"Miss, Miss, he's more handsome!"

"Isn't it? It's even more stylish! ”

"I think my future uncle is like an old man, and he has official authority!"

……

In the corridor over there, a few maids chattered, especially the two maids who delivered the tea.

Wu Qiuyu, who was wearing a white dress, saw the familiar and unfamiliar figure through the sparse bamboo forest, and her pretty face turned red. was already a deer, listening to the words of Yahuan's discussion, but he ran back with a blushing face.

With Lin Haoran being transferred back to Beijing, she naturally knew what it would mean, and the appointment between the two of them was approaching.

After about half a cup of tea, the housekeeper led Lin Haoran to the desk and saw Wu Shan, who had not been seen for a long time.

Wu Shan didn't change much, his face was as serious as ever, and he sat at the desk in a regular manner, and the placement in front of the table looked neat.

"The student has seen the teacher!"

After Lin Haoran came in, he also saluted Wu Shan in a proper manner.

Whether he wants it or not, he is a student of Wu Shan, and he is about to become Wu Shan's son-in-law, and his career has been closely linked with Wu Shan. In the current political ecology, the political lives of the two are even both prosperous and loss-making.

"Well, you're doing a great job!"

Wu Shan looked at Lin Haoran, although he has always been extremely picky, he had to recognize Lin Haoran's achievements.

Whether it is the beautiful report card of Kaihai or the merits made in the anti-Japanese war, it has become his personal political capital. If it hadn't happened suddenly, he would have presided over the Guangdong Township Examination, and when he returned to Beijing next year, he could have sought a better position for him.

It's just that no matter what, Shuntian Fucheng, who will only turn 21 years old in a few days, will have a really unlimited future, and he will not have such twists and turns as he will enter the cabinet in the future.

"Thank you, teacher, for compliment!" Lin Haoran knew that Wu Shan was an old antique, and immediately responded modestly.

Wu Shan looked at Lin Haoran who was not arrogant or dry, and couldn't help but feel a little more satisfied in his heart, knowing that this disciple and future son-in-law must go further than him, but he said earnestly: "In the capital, it is not comparable to the place. If you don't pay attention to it, you will fall into a catastrophe, like Li Mo, the former secretary of the ministry, is like this, do you understand? ”

In the past, when Li Mo was appointed as the secretary of the ministry, he served as the left attendant of the ministry. Looking at Li Mo in full swing, he thought that he would replace Yan Song sooner or later, but it turned out to be a tragic end in prison.

In the same way, while he has adhered to principles over the years, he has also lived cautiously and did not dare to make mistakes in major matters.

"Students remember the teachings!" Lin Haoran saw the concern in Wu Shan's tone, and he also looked like he was humbly taught.

In particular, this warning, following Yin Tai's guidance and his thoughts, it is natural to implement it more seriously. In the final analysis, today's Shengshang Jiajing is a ruthless emperor, whether it is Xia Yan in the past, or Li Mo later, or Yan Song who has served him for more than 20 years, or Lu Shan, who died mysteriously, all show his cold side.

Wu Shan was very satisfied with Lin Haoran's attitude, and said admonishingly: "You just returned to Beijing, I'm afraid you don't know yet!" There have been some subtle changes in the current court situation, Yan Ge Lao is already unable to deal with government affairs, Xu Ge Lao faintly has the momentum to replace him, I am afraid that Xu Jie will be able to replace Yan Ge Lao this year! ”

Lin Haoran was shocked in his heart, and glanced up at Wu Shan in surprise. According to the original historical process, Xu Jie did replace Yan Song this year, but Wu Shan judged it too accurately.

Wu Shan saw the surprise on Lin Haoran's face, but he mistakenly thought that he was shocked by this judgment, so he put on a basis and said eloquently: "The most important thing in the cabinet is undoubtedly the right to draft votes, but at present, many government affairs have fallen into the hands of Xu Ge Lao, and Xu Ge Lao will give instructions on the draft votes. Although Yan Ge Lao has the right to vote for major events, but the current Ming Dynasty's finances are stretched, in fact, nothing can be solved, but it makes Yan Ge Lao even more unpopular. ”
