Chapter 465: Door-to-door gifts

After accepting Sun Chengzong as a Xibin, Lin Yanchao changed his household registration to business registration for Lin Yanshou and obtained the qualification to take the exam in Shuntianfu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, in the county exam in February this year, Lin Yanshou couldn't catch up, so Lin Yanchao simply asked Sun Chengzong to teach Lin Yanshou for a year, and let him go to the children's test again the following year. As for whether Lin Yanshou listened to Sun Cheng's religious teachings, this was not Lin Yanchao's concern.

To help Lin Yanshou change his nationality, Lin Yanchao just wrote a few letters and handed them to the key people, and he didn't have to come forward at all.

And Cheng Nan's matter is even more trivial.

The appointment of Zhan Shifu has not yet come down, Xu Guo is still the Guozi Supervisor of the sacrificial wine, and with his care, Cheng Nan does not have to queue up for a false marquis, but successfully admits to the Guozi Prison and becomes a prisoner.

Cheng Nan's voucher for entering prison is in hand, and he is very grateful to Lin Yanchao. This is just a casual effort for Lin Yanchao, but Cheng Nan's gratitude makes Lin Qianqian feel relieved, which is what Lin Yanchao cares about. After that, Cheng Nan went to live in Guozijian and moved out of the Lin Mansion.

After these few things are done, the New Year's Festival has passed, and for the Beijing officials, the New Year's holiday is coming to an end, and the next is about to go to the government to open the seal.

But for Lin Yanchao, there is still one more important thing to do. is how to ask Shen Shixing to lobby Zhang Juzheng for him and make up for the Japanese speaker.

So on this day, Lin Yanchao prepared a heavy gift and went out to visit Shen Shixing's mansion.

This is still in the middle of the New Year's Festival, and the main roads and small roads in the capital are still very empty.

However, when he arrived at the alley in front of Shenfu, Chen Jichuan found that there was a traffic jam, and several carriages lined up in the alley, almost unable to move an inch.

"Master, what should I do, do you copy the road from the side?" Chen Jichuan asked Lin Yanchao.

For the path on the Shenshi Xingfu, Lin Yanchao can be said to be familiar with the road. Lin Yanchao picked up the curtain and glanced at it and said: "The right side of the road is the way to come, if the carriage takes the road from here, a carriage will come on." We couldn't get in or out, and we got out of the way. I simply withdrew from here and entered through another alley, which didn't delay much effort. ”

When Chen Jichuan heard this, he got out of the car and led the horse to turn around, and the car turned around. This blue official sedan chair obviously wanted to copy the road, but blocked Lin Yanchao's carriage that turned around.

In addition to the four sedan chair drivers, there are five or six attendants. When they saw Lin Yanchao's carriage, they said, "Let's go, don't you see that we are going to Shenfu?" ”

On the carriage, Chen Jichuan saw that it was obviously the other party's fault, and he was still so arrogant, and suddenly said unhappily: "This is obviously you blocking the way of my carriage, you should avoid the side of the road, let us pass first." ”

When the people heard this, they immediately sneered again and again.

One of them crossed his waist and said, "What are you reasoning with us?" Don't keep your eyes open and take a look? We are an official sedan chair! ”

After speaking, he pointed to the blue on the curtain of the sedan chair.

It's just a blue sedan chair, when did Chen Jichuan put it in his eyes. Chen Jichuan was just about to speak, when he heard the sedan chair opposite.

"Eh, don't make a mistake!"

The attendant lifted the curtain of the blue sedan chair and asked the person sitting in the sedan chair, "What does the master command?" ”

This person waved his hand and said directly to Chen Jichuan: "Today, the old man has something important to do in the old mansion, so I just copied the road, I don't want to block your master's car, so let's tell your lord, I am Yu Wencan, a member of the Ministry of Industry Yu Heng, and he will sell me this face if he knows my name." ”

The official's tone was full of confidence, and this was the unquestionable tone of a long-standing position.

Outside the Ministry of Labor? Chen Jichuan sneered, thinking what a big official he was.

Chen Jichuan said: "You said you went to Shenfu, we also went to Shenfu, if you say you have something important, we also have something important, why do you ......?"

Chen Jichuan was halfway through his words, and he heard two knocks on the wall of the carriage, and Lin Yanchao said in the carriage: "Forget it, let them pass first." ”

Chen Jichuan was unwilling, but Lin Yanchao opened his mouth, and could only say: "Okay, since that's the case, you go first!" ”

Yu Wencan smiled faintly and said, "Thank you!" ”

After speaking, he lowered the car curtain.

And Chen Jichuan avoided the carriage behind the roadside. The entourage glared at Chen Jichuan proudly, and then shouted, "Get up the sedan chair." ”

The left and right sedan chair drivers will carry the sedan chair and walk through it steadily. Those entourages were also showing off their might, and when they passed by Lin Yanchao's carriage, they snorted a few times with disdain.

One person also said: "I knew this was the case, why bother talking so much nonsense." ”

Chen Jichuan was suddenly furious, but it was not easy to attack, and after a few people left, he said to Lin Yanchao: "Master, the foreign lang of the Ministry of Labor is only from the fifth grade, how dare he also use a blue sedan chair and a double red saddle cage?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "In the capital, the Beijing official likes to travel a lot, you say that he is only from the fifth grade, but he is also one level higher than me, if you don't avoid the sedan chair, we don't take advantage of it." ”

"What about from the five products? Sir, you are Hanlin, how can he compare to you. ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and didn't answer.

After that, Chen Jichuan's carriage was rerouted and came to Shenfu from another alley.

At this moment, the gate of the Shenfu Mansion can be described as a city of cars and horses.

The carriages and horses coming from north to south at the entrance of the alley came one after another, and none of the tethered horse posts on the left and right of the house were empty. And the family outside the gate of the house, the groom who drove the car, the entourage, and the officials and relatives who came to visit the house, there were hundreds of people.

There is a saying in officialdom that there are three festivals and two birthdays, the three festivals are the New Year's Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the two birthdays refer to the birthdays of the officials themselves and their wives.

In these days, officials have to 'pay tribute' to their superiors, which is also a courtesy.

At present, Shen Shixing, as the third assistant of the cabinet, has presided over the Wanli eight-year examination, and has also served as the examiner of the township examination.

The officials who had just gotten off the sedan chair and carriage were all holding famous posters, and the entourage behind them were holding various gifts and entered the palace together.

Lin Yanchao and Chen Jichuan came to the front of the mansion together, but they saw that Chen Wencan, a member of the Ministry of Works, was talking to the door of the Shen Mansion, smiling again, handing over the door bag, and finally handing the post.

Chen Jichuan couldn't help but smile when he saw it: "I thought there were a lot of people here, and I didn't want to even be unable to enter the gate of the Shen Mansion." Lin Yanchao smiled when he heard this, but he saw that Menzi's attitude towards Wen Can was really a little arrogant.

So Lin Yanchao was in front alone, and behind him was Chen Jichuan, who was holding a gift box, and came to the front of the mansion together.

Yu Wencan turned his head and glanced at this, he recognized Chen Jichuan, but he didn't know Lin Yanchao behind him, he had just transferred from a foreign official to a Beijing official, and he didn't recognize all the officials in Beijing, nor did he recognize Lin Yanchao.

Yu Wencan just glanced at Lin Yanchao twice, but he didn't care. A few of his attendants were smiling with their arms folded over their chests.

Chen Jichuan snorted coldly, walked up to a few people and said, "Excuse me, let go." ”

One of the attendants didn't mean to let go at all, but sneered: "Don't you see that our family adults are talking to people? You two wait. ”

This disciple was originally talking to Yu Wencan, but when he saw Lin Yanchao being stopped in a blink of an eye, he immediately left Yu Wencan.

Menzi ran down the steps in three steps and two steps, bent down and said, "Zhuangyuanlang, what kind of wind is blowing you here!" ”

"What champion?" Yu Wencan couldn't help but lose his voice, glanced at Lin Yanchao and asked, "Isn't it the new champion of the three yuan and the first!" ”

Lin Yanchao nodded.

At this moment, Yu Wencan and several of his entourage suddenly looked very exciting.

Yu Wencan was a Beijing official at the beginning, and I heard that the fourth grade of the Beijing official dared to take a sedan chair, and the fifth grade also dared to use a stick in front of the horse. When he first arrived, he was afraid that he would be looked down upon in the officialdom, so he overstepped some of his opinions.

And the person in front of him is the champion, but he only takes a carriage, and he doesn't need to travel without a book.

Menzi glanced at Yu Wencan unhappily, as if annoyed that he interjected, Yu Wencan hurriedly kept silent, and after saluting Lin Yanchao, he avoided it knowingly.

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Yes, I'm here to visit my teacher today!" ”

After speaking, Lin Yanchao took out the protΓ©gΓ©'s post in his sleeve, and the doorman hurriedly said: "Zhuangyuanlang is a frequent visitor to the house, and the elder of the pavilion has already explained to us, you don't need to come to the mansion, you can enter directly." ”

This sentence made the officials on the side extremely envious when they heard it. There is no need to pass through, go straight to the house, and Shen Shixing simply takes Lin Yanchao as his own family.

Several officials whispered: "The champion is really a proud protΓ©gΓ© of Shen Ge. ”

"Shen Ge Lao is the Bole of Zhuangyuanlang, otherwise he would not be named Huiyuan."

"If I have the talent of the champion, I don't guarantee that the elder of the Shen Pavilion will also order me."

Yu Wencan looked at Lin Yanchao at this moment and suddenly felt all kinds of envy, stepped forward and said to Lin Yanchao with a smile: "Zhuangyuan Gong, I didn't understand anything when I first came to Beijing to serve as an official, I really don't know Mount Tai today, and I will definitely go to the house to make amends another day." ”

Lin Yanchao said lightly: "The outsider is serious"

Several of Yu Wencan's entourage also knew that they were in trouble at this moment, and immediately hugged their fists at Chen Jichuan and said: "If you offend, please Haihan." ”

Chen Jichuan didn't even look at it.

So Lin Yanchao skimmed Wen Can and went straight to the door of the mansion, and after turning the shadow wall, he came to the front hall of the Shen Mansion.

In the front hall, Shen Wuzheng was talking to several adults, and when he saw Lin Yanchao coming, he and the two of them came out with a confession.

Shen Wu warmly held Lin Yanchao's hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Zhuangyuanlang, why don't you come to the house and say it in advance, I'll pick you up for the elder of the pavilion!" ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "How dare you bother Brother Shen." ”

Shen Wu laughed, nodded and said: "Also, you and I are old friends, let's not be polite, look at you here, what kind of gift do you give, you and the elder are family, this is like those people in the periphery, isn't it outside?" ”

Lin Yanchao immediately said: "Eh, the elder of the pavilion regards me as a family, and this is a New Year's holiday, which should be even more expressed." ”

After speaking, Lin Yanchao took a red envelope and stuffed it into Shen Wu's hand.

Shen Wu saw that the smile on his face was even bigger.

In the front hall, the two officials watched Shen Wu and Lin Yanchao talk and laugh with their hands.

One person couldn't help but be surprised: "Who is this person?" ”

Another person smiled and said: "Chen Weng has been in Huaisi for a long time, but he should also hear about the current champion!" ”

The man was stunned for a moment, then pinched his beard and said, "No wonder, no wonder." (To be continued.) )
