In the evening, the setting sun stains half of the sky red, and the ancient city is also immersed in a warm red glow.

Wu Shan returned from the official sedan chair, but when he walked into the house, he felt physically and mentally tired.

There has been a new development in the "Ordinance of the Sect and Domain", and the Holy Lord's agreement to reduce the plan of the Zong Domain's rice is a cause for celebration, but the extent of the reduction agreed to is not satisfactory.

Now that Daming's finances are so embarrassed, and now is an excellent time, but the saint still refuses to go under the knife, just symbolically cutting some meat.

Although the new "Zong Fan Regulations" can also alleviate the problem, the clan is still like a maggot possessing the body of the Ming Dynasty, sucking the blood of the Ming Dynasty, biting the flesh of the Ming Dynasty, and will inevitably eat the bones of the Ming Dynasty in the long run.

These days, he has also made a final effort, but unfortunately the will of the Holy One has been decided.

I have been an official in this dynasty for many years, how can I not know that the Holy One is a stubborn character, no one can change the Holy One's mind, and the only one who can change the Holy One's mind is himself.

Don't say that he is only a scholar of the Ministry of Rites now, even if he really enters the cabinet, I am afraid that he will not be able to persuade the saint.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh again. Today, the saint has gone farther and farther away from Ming Jun, and his mind is all about his path of cultivating immortals, and he is becoming more and more disregarded by the people in the world, and even the future of the Ming Dynasty.

After returning to the dormitory to change into his official robe, he did not choose to lie down on the bed to rest, but planned to refresh himself with strong tea. Pushing open the door and deciding to go to the backyard to meditate, this is also his habit.

When I passed by the water pavilion, I saw that my wife and daughter were enjoying the shade in the pavilion, and the tiger girl who had often appeared here recently, and the three of them got along very harmoniously.

Since the marriage proposal, the two families have been significantly closer, and the atmosphere at home is obviously a lot more cheerful, especially the daughter who swept away the depression a while ago, and these days she looks bright.

When I got closer, I heard the voice of the tiger girl, which was a very nice sound. I'm afraid that others won't believe her words, so she will always have a nasal voice and a serious expression.

According to his observations, the personalities of Hu Niu and that disciple were very different.

Hu Niu is upright and has a sense of justice, on the other hand, that disciple, although he can't be said to be a villain, but I'm afraid it's not much better. The only consolation is that the disciple's selfish thoughts are a little heavier, but he is not a great evildoer.

"Those two bad guys are actually very powerful, they chased after Xiaohong's horseshoe prints, of course I have to run! I took Xiaohong and hid in the mountain forest, which was very large, bigger than the city of Beijing, and the trees were taller than the city wall. Walking, walking, I walked to a pine forest, and my brother taught me when he was chopping wood, this pine forest does not have poisonous snakes,...... Later, I saw the little gold pressed by the stone! ”

Creak......

The little golden monkey squatted next to him and nibbled on fresh fruit, seemingly dissatisfied with some of the tiger girl's descriptions, and then spoke out in protest.

At first, Wu Shan thought that Hu Niu was telling a story, but later found out that it was a true story about her and the little golden monkey.

But he seemed to have only heard half of it, and after Hu Niu finished speaking, the mild-mannered lady scolded what Jiang Mansion and Mrs. Jiang, and there seemed to be other things involved here.

"Daddy!"

Wu Qiuyu suddenly saw Wu Shan, so he stood up and greeted respectfully. Maybe it's because of more experience, or maybe it's because she's always cultivated like this, she looks more dignified and gentle.

Mrs. Wu also turned her head to look at Wu Shan, and said to Wu Shan: "Master, tonight's dinner may be a little late, do you want to get some pastries first?" ”

"No need!" Wu Shan shook his head lightly.

Just as he was about to leave steadily, he suddenly remembered something and asked Tiger Niu if her brother was there.

Hu Niu said yes, then patted the head of the little golden monkey next to her, and told it to go back and call her brother over. The little golden monkey protested for a moment, then jumped from the rockery onto the roof, and soon disappeared from the eaves.

Wu Shan looked at the little golden monkey that disappeared on the roof, and then at the three women who continued to chat, and finally suppressed the suspicion in his heart. He knew that this little golden monkey was very spiritual, but he didn't believe that the little golden monkey could be so smart that he could really call Lin Haoran over.

However, it was not a big deal for him to find Lin Haoran.

After several months of arguing, the imperial court planned to discuss whether to reopen the market, and today it was also a little whimsical, and suddenly wanted to listen to Lin Haoran's opinion.

In the backyard, rockeries, small ponds, weeping willows, and small pavilions are all paved with a layer of color. Because of his early departures and late returns, he can only be seen in the backyard in the evening, and he likes the red weather the most.

Sitting in front of the stone table in the pavilion, a person quietly sipping a pot of good tea and appreciating the lotus flowers in the pool, the troubles in his heart are slowly dissipating.

Especially looking at the gorgeous lotus flowers, he doesn't say how noble he is, but he is more principled than the vast majority of officials, and he pays more attention to doing things with a clear conscience.

Perhaps for this reason, he is more confident than many officials, and he is more daring to argue for what is right.

"Master, your student Lin Haoran asks to see you!" The butler walked over to the stone table and said respectfully.

Wu Shan put down the teacup in his hand and looked up at the little golden monkey playing on the roof in the distance, his eyes flashing with a different color. This little golden monkey is really too spiritual, and his intelligence is definitely above those auspicious rays in the Spirit Garden.

After a while, he saw Lin Haoran, who was dressed in civilian clothes, walking through the moon hole gate and striding towards this side.

Among this large group of disciples, this disciple is really too dazzling. Achieved an amazing record of winning six yuan in a row, and in less than two months after joining the company, he was promoted to the sixth grade of Hanlin waiter.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the most promising official was undoubtedly this disciple. In this era of paying great attention to origin, Lian Zhong Liuyuan's background and age advantage alone are already unbeatable.

If there is anything bad, it is that he knows how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages too much, and he faintly saw some shadows of Yan Song in this disciple. If he is devoured by selfish interests, I am afraid that he will become a person like Yan Song again.

However, he also understands that it is probably too difficult and difficult to find someone like his teacher Xia Yan now. Moreover, the fate of his teacher Xia Yan also chilled the hearts of many officials, and perhaps Lin Haoran's change also saw through this.

Lin Haoran came to the stone table, naturally not knowing Wu Shan's thoughts, and respectfully saluted the teacher and future father-in-law.

Wu Shan nodded slightly, then motioned for him to sit down, and took the initiative to pour him a cup of tea.

Lin Haoran took a sip of tea, and then asked straight to the point: "Teacher, I don't know what to do with finding a disciple?" ”
