While instructing Wang Honghai, Lin Haoran also observed the reactions of the other three protégés.

Wang Honghai is undoubtedly the most promising one, and at the age of 20, he served as the editor of Hanlin and stepped into the road of the minister.

Because he has the huge advantage of age, as long as he honestly cultivates his qualifications in the Hanlin Academy, he will definitely be able to enter the cabinet in the future, and even be a "guardian" after his retirement.

It's just that for the other three protégés, Lin Haoran also attaches the same importance to it. Not only does he need a worthy heir, but he also needs some good helpers, and only the students are the least likely to betray them.

Yan Song undoubtedly has a grace for Xu Jie, and the two families are even in-law, but Xu Jie is almost openly against Yan Song at the moment, and he has not been accused too much by the officialdom, and no one has come forward to accuse Xu Jie of being ungrateful.

On the other hand, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a precedent in officialdom for students to dare to openly betray their teachers, and this kind of behavior is even more intolerable to the officialdom and is destined to be condemned by the officialdom.

Lin Haoran had the meaning of a bowl of water, but he was a little thirsty just now, and he took a sip of tea from the teacup. Unlike Yan Shifan, an official who likes banquets, he has always preferred to meet friends with tea and discuss things with tea.

The fragrant tea entrance made him linger in his mouth, but he couldn't help but sigh immediately: "Songluo tea, it really lives up to its name!" ”

Wang Honghai and others are not proficient in the tea ceremony, but the entrance of this tea is also nodding in approval.

"Lord Fu Yin, this pineapple tea is not famous, how did you know about this tea?" The girl in charge of making the tea finally stopped being a wooden figure, and asked suspiciously.

This tea-making girl has a nice nickname: Ding Dong. She was originally a lively person, but at this moment, those eyes looked at Lin Haoran boldly, wanting to know the reason.

In essence, when Lin Haoran chose the tea just now, she had this doubt, and this Lin Wenkui seemed to have known about this tea for a long time.

Lin Haoran realized that he had said the wrong thing, this tea only really emerged in the Longqing period, when he even said nonsense: "When I was the prefect of Guangzhou, I heard a close friend say that there is a kind of divine tea in Songluo Mountain in Xiuning County, which is not only fragrant, but also pharmacological!" Now under the first product, that old friend really doesn't deceive me! ”

"Lord Fu Yin is really extraordinary, and the little woman admires it! This tea is indeed a rare and good tea, but in this land of Beijing, few people know about it! Clankle said with a look of regret.

Wang Jun's heart moved, and he asked with great interest: "Dare to ask the girl, what is the origin of this tea?" ”

"Returning to this lord, this tea is named because it is produced in Songluo Mountain, with the characteristics of green color, high fragrance and strong taste, it is a rare good product, and what is more amazing is that it has medicinal effects!" Ding Dong met Wang Jun's gaze and replied gently.

Wang Jun's interest became even stronger, and he watched the teacher taste tea without speaking, and immediately asked: "I want to hear it in detail!" ”

Ding Dong glanced at Lin Haoran, and after getting Lin Haoran's nod permission, he said eloquently: "Songluo Mountain is located in Xiuning County, and in the early years, typhoid fever and dysentery were prevalent in Xiuning, and the local people went to Rangfu Temple in Songluo Mountain to burn incense and worship Buddha. The abbot of the temple gave a bag of pineapple tea to each of the people who entered the incense, brewed and drank with boiling water for those who were mild, and fried tea with ginger, salt, and japonica rice for severe illness until browned, ground and swallowed, and the patient took it, and soon recovered, so the pineapple tea began to become famous! ”

"Is it really so amazing, can any disease be cured?" Wang Honghai's eyes lit up suddenly, but he thought that his illness was not too good for his father, and asked hopefully.

Wang Jun and the others looked at the girl one after another, as if they were expecting a positive answer, and thus found an elixir.

Ding Dong faced everyone's expectant eyes, but shook his head lightly and said, "No! And the medicinal effect of this tea is not as miraculous as it is rumored, and even the little woman once suspected that this fact was made up! ”

"This is the case with many things: if you believe, you will have, and if you do not believe, you will not!" Lin Haoran summed up, and also had some good feelings for this honest girl, but said with a smile: "We have some secrets to discuss, you go out first!" ”

"Whoa!" Ding Dong knew that there had been some transgressions just now, and it was common for her to avoid it, and this Lord Yin obviously respected her, so he respectfully bowed and withdrew.

When the girl left, the atmosphere returned to a state of humility.

Lin Haoran put down the teacup gently, looked at Wang Jun and said solemnly: "You are a criminal jinshi, you are destined to take the road of speech officials in the future!" It's just that this road, of course, can make you soar, but it will also make you fall to pieces, so the teacher is most worried about you! ”

If you talk about the future alone, it is naturally the ministers who are in charge; But when it comes to promotion speed and leapfrogging combat power, it is the most beautiful official of Kedaoyan, and even from the matter of the seventh grade, he dares to point at the elder's nose in the court and scold.

It's just that there are gains and losses in everything, and it is difficult to be promoted if the officials do not offend the court bosses, and if they offend the court bosses, they may die ugly, so their fate is the most elusive.

"How should students deal with themselves, and ask teachers to teach them!" Wang Jun learned from Wang Honghai to be as lazy as Lin Haoran, but he was pestering for advice.

Lin Haoran pondered for a moment, and said seriously: "As a science and technology official, if you are invulnerable, you can usually rise to the top, but I'm afraid you can't do it!" ”

"Teacher, I can be just without desire!" Wang Jun immediately expressed his determination, and looked at Lin Haoran with firm eyes.

Lin Haoran met his firm gaze, but shook his head lightly and said, "People are flesh and blood, how can they really have no thoughts?" People have seven emotions and six desires, and you may be able to treat money like dung, but you will be sad to pass the level of lust! ”

"The teacher is saying that students can't stand the beauty trick!" Wang Jun's brows furrowed slightly, and he said unconvinced.

Lin Haoran picked up the teacup, looked at him and said with a smile: "As a teacher, when you entered the door, you began to observe the behavior of the four of you, and you have stared at that tea girl six times, but you have a trace of lust?" ”

When Wang Honghai and the others heard this, they all looked at Wang Jun in surprise, they didn't have Lin Haoran's observation ability, it was more of an inquiry, and they wanted to know if this was the case.

"Don't dare to deceive the teacher, the student does! In fact, that girl is quite similar to the student's deceased wife, but she ...... But I couldn't help but look at it twice! Wang Jun's momentum was completely lost, and he immediately responded with a big red face.

When Wang Honghai heard this answer, he looked at Lin Haoran with admiration, and he was simply insightful.

Lin Haoran did not have the slightest complacency, and seemed to admonish seriously: "It has only been more than four years since he entered the officialdom as a teacher, and there are many officials who have been in the officialdom for more than ten years. As a teacher, you can see your flaws, and others can also see them, if they use this flaws to lure you, then can you really refuse? ”
