If you don't have watermelon, Zhu Ping'an bought some lychees, cherries and other seasonal fruits, wrapped some snacks, and carried them to Zhang Siwei's house, and then said goodbye to Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen, and then went out to Huaishu Hutong to pay homage to Xu Jie.

On the way, Zhu Ping'an spent two taels of silver and chose a pound of West Lake Mingqian Longjing in the tea shop, so that the store could wrap it delicately and bring it. Longjing tea has always had the saying of "the top grade before the rain, the treasure before the Ming Dynasty", the Longjing tea picked before the Qingming Dynasty is called the Longjing before the Ming Dynasty, and the Longjing tea picked before the rain in the valley after the Qingming Dynasty is called the Longjing before the rain, and the price of the Longjing before the Ming Dynasty is about twice that of the Longjing before the rain, which belongs to the nobility of the Longjing tea.

Visiting the master, empty-handed is not good, giving gold and silver is too vulgar, and he is not rich, so he chose this high-grade Longjing tea as a gift, there is a superb Longjing in the tea shop, it costs more than ten taels of silver, too expensive.

This trip was not to ask for Xu Jie's care, but to visit the master in accordance with the practice of officialdom.

In addition, some time ago, during the Dragon Boat Festival, he was not in the capital, although Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei entered a festival for themselves, but after all, I did not arrive. After so many things, it is reasonable to go and visit the next master Xu Jie, otherwise he will be accused of not respecting the teacher.

"Please pass through, the doorman Zhu Ping'an came to pay homage to the master."

Entering the Huaishu Hutong and arriving at the door of the Xu Mansion, Zhu Ping'an honestly passed the worship post through the gatehouse.

When waiting outside the door, the side door of the Xufu door opened, and a handsome young man with a hosta tied crown and a blue cocoon silk straight jacket walked out from the inside.

The breeze blew a faint smell of balsam.

Seeing this person, Zhu Ping'an took the initiative to bow forward, with a sincere smile on his face, "Zihou has seen Senior Brother Zhang." ”

This person is Zhang Juzheng, and as in the past, Zhang Juzheng pays great attention to appearance, his clothes are spotless, and he is smeared with fat powder, this trend is hundreds of years ahead of the Korean Wave small fresh meat that is rubbed with fat and powder.

Zhang Juzheng also returned the salute, smiling, and the two simply greeted each other at the door of Xu's mansion. But without chatting a few words, the porter of Xu's Mansion came over to invite Zhu Ping'an to enter the mansion, so Zhu Ping'an also said goodbye to Zhang Juzheng and entered Xu's Mansion.

The exterior wall is high, and the interior is elegant, this is the second time Zhu Ping'an has stepped into Xu's mansion.

"Master Zhu, please sit down for a while, the master is writing green words for the saint in the study at the moment." The subordinates of the Xu Mansion invited Zhu Ping'an into the reception room, and the maid came in and poured a cup of tea, asking Zhu Ping'an to sit for a while.

"There is labor." Zhu Ping'an nodded and sat down, thanking the maid who poured the tea.

Zhang Juzheng just went out just now, is Xu Jie writing green words here? Is it because of the twists and turns that he deliberately snubbed himself and showed favor to Yan Song? Or did the saint really suddenly have a request for green words, and Xu Jie worked overtime to meet the needs of the saint?

Judging from Zhu Ping'an's understanding of Xu Jie, the latter is more likely.

When Xu Jie was still the head of the Hanlin Academy, Xu Jie often took time to talk with the new Hanlin Academy, encourage the juniors, discover useful talents, and cultivate the team for their own use. This is how Zhang Juzheng entered Xu Jie's sight. I don't think I'm bad enough to let Xu Jie give up on himself so quickly, right?

And since Emperor Jiajing cultivated immortals, many officials who are good at writing green words have been promoted, and green words have become a common practice in this dynasty, and the first thing Yan Song did when he entered the cabinet was to build a green word room next to the cabinet to provide green words for the saints at any time. Yan Song can see the importance of Qingzi, and Xu Jie can naturally see it, so from the perspective of his understanding of Beijing since entering Beijing, Xu Jie, like Yan Song, regards Qingzi as the first priority in his work. If there is a need for green words in the saint, Xu Jie will definitely write green words for the saint for the first time.

Perhaps it was on the way to Zhang Juzheng's visit that Xu Jie received the Shengshang's demand for green words, and Xu Jie had to work overtime to write green words, and Zhang Juzheng retired.

Of course, it is not excluded that Xu Jie, in order to curry favor with Yan Song, will snub himself. After all, in order to get rid of Yan Song in Xu Jie's history, he learned from Wu to paralyze Yan Song.

After less than half an hour, Zhu Ping'an heard a sound of footsteps, and when he looked up, he saw Xu Jie, dressed in a Zhongjing crown robe, walking briskly with a kind smile.

The Zhongjing crown dress was designed by Emperor Jiajing seven years after he ascended the throne, and it was a symbol of status, and only the Beijing officials above the seventh rank and the Hanlin Academy, the Guozijian and the pedestrian division above the eighth rank could wear it. In the case of military attachés, only those who hold official positions at or above the rank of governor can wear them.

"The students have seen the teachers."

Before Xu Jie walked to the door, Zhu Ping'an hurriedly got up and greeted the door and bowed to Xu Jie, respectfully greeting Xu Jie.

"Zihou, welcome, sit down and talk in the house." Xu Jie was very kind, and walked into the room with Zhu Ping'an's arm with one hand, without holding the cabinet minister's shelf at all.

"A month ago, the student got married at home, and he didn't tell the teacher in advance, so he came to ask for sin." After a brief greeting, Zhu Ping'an handed over the invitation to the thank-you banquet ten days later to Xu Jie.

Xu Jie took the invitation, put it in his sleeve after reading it, nodded and said with relief: "Very good, among my protégés, you are the youngest, and I am very relieved to hear that you have become married." The so-called family and business, Zihou's family has been completed, why worry about the industry. ”

"Students are only shallow in their studies, and they are afraid of failing the expectations of teachers." Zhu Ping'an said with some embarrassment.

"There is no need to be too humble. Oh, yes, I know Zihou has also studied Qingci quite a bit, how about this Qingci I just wrote? Xu Jie said with a smile, then took out a green word from his sleeve and put it on the table.

"The light of the student's candle, dare to compete with the teacher for the sun and the moon, and it is really a blessing for the student to be able to read the teacher's masterpiece today." Zhu Ping'an got up respectfully, picked up the green words that Xu Jie put on the table, and gently unfolded them on the table.

Xu Jie shook his head with a smile, looked at Zhu Ping'an with appreciative eyes, and said slowly: "I have seen Zi Houqing's work...... Fu Weitian is full of gods, and he does not stick to one pattern to descend talents...... There are not many people who can write green words to such an extent. ”

Belch......

Zhu Ping'an smiled bitterly, of course the green words that are widely circulated in modern times and selected into textbooks are good, but unfortunately they are not original by themselves, although they have studied the "Zhai Jiao Qingci Jing" given by the mysterious old Tao, and the level of green words is much better than that of ordinary people, but compared with Xu Jie, Yan Song, Yuan Wei and other people who are really good at green words and take green words as the first priority of their work, there is still a gap. However, these words cannot be said on their own. (To be continued.) )
