With this rain, the weather also cooled down all of a sudden. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe weather in early summer is like this, the ground is not yet warm, and the weather is hot and dry, but as soon as the rain washes, the cool air comes up again.

Zhang Dayou instructed someone to build a pot of charcoal fire at the table, one for hot wine, and the other to drive away the cold.

After sitting for a while, the coolness that Xu Ping carried in the rain along the way gradually dissipated, and his body began to warm up, with a lazy feeling, which was extremely comfortable. Looking at the rain shrouded in the flowers and trees in the back garden, those branches and leaves revealed an intoxicating green, and it became more and more relaxing. The scenery in the rain is a little softer and a little more poetic.

There was a sound of saluting greetings in his ears, Xu Ping turned his head, and saw Wang Yan walking over with his head down.

I haven't seen him for a few days, and Wang Yan seems to have changed. His face was gray, his eyes were blank, even his hair seemed to have turned a little gray, and his whole body was listless. In this rainy weather, it seems even more lifeless.

Thinking that Xu Ping had just come to Bishui County, Wang Yan was still red-faced, high-spirited, and had to call out everything. In a short period of time, because of an accidental little thing, the spirit disappeared all of a sudden.

On the road of life, where is it possible for everything to be smooth sailing? Temporary setbacks and difficulties are always indispensable, people do not have the courage to face setbacks, do not have the fighting spirit to overcome difficulties, no matter in the officialdom or where, how far can they go?

Xu Ping looked at Wang Yan's appearance and shook his head secretly. Originally, he was still thinking about how to deal with him if Wang Yan continued to entangle with him, but now that he saw that it was a complete waste of energy to spend time on him.

Zhang Dayou stood up, bowed to Wang Yan, and let him go to Xu Ping's head.

When he arrived at the table, Wang Yan sat down in a daze, and even forgot to salute Xu Parallel.

This is a very undesirable thing, Xu Ping's official position is above him, and he is the official envoy of this trip, Wang Yan is like this, he has even forgotten the basic etiquette in the officialdom, and he is very taboo. What you ask others for, you should do it yourself, Wang Yan has always put on a score, so that Zhang Dayou, who was watching from the side, really had nothing to say.

Wang Yan didn't greet him, and Xu Ping had no reason to pay attention to him, just pretending not to see it.

Zhang Dayou instructed the miscellaneous officials on the side to pour wine for a few people, and deliberately cleared his throat and said: "Deputy Envoy Wang, today Xu Beizhi finished the geographical survey along the river and returned to Bishui County. ”

Wang Yan was stunned for a moment, raised his head and said a little dazedly: "Oh, is the investigation finished, that's fine." ”

After saying that, he continued to lower his head, not knowing what he was thinking, or if he didn't think about anything.

Zhang Dayou saw that Wang Yan hadn't realized that he wanted to greet Xu Parallel, so he had to stubbornly say: "Deputy Envoy Wang, Xu Beizhi has finished surveying the river and worked hard all the way, how about we toast a glass of wine?" ”

"Okay, okay, it should be." Wang Yan said, picked up the cup, and drank the wine with Zhang Dayou.

Zhang Dayou is determined to give up, and he doesn't care about Wang Yan. When it came to this, Wang Yan hadn't noticed that Xu Ping was sitting beside him, and he didn't care about the basic etiquette in the officialdom, so why should others care about his identity?

But he didn't know that Wang Yan's heart was like ashes at this time, his mind was a mess, and he subconsciously decided that his bad luck was all because of Xu Ping, and he really subconsciously ignored Xu Ping when his brain was not clear.

Xu Ping really doesn't know what to say, he has been rolling in the officialdom for so many years, how can his heart of fame and fortune still be so important, and he doesn't know how he has survived for so many years.

Ignoring Wang Yan, Xu Ping and Zhang Da had two people gossiping while drinking. The two of them were originally in the same year, but before they knew it, ten years had passed, and the first echelon of the five years of the Heavenly Sage Jinshi began to enter the center, and the difference in the future of their careers slowly became apparent. Like Zhang Dayou, who is obviously lagging behind, he naturally hopes that Xu Ping will be supported by those who are running in front.

Xu Ping came from a humble background, and there was no one in the family to rely on, and he had to rely on the help of his peers, so he was extremely enthusiastic when he said it. Several times the people who are now emerging in the court and nearby, such as Wang Yaochen, Han Qi, Wang Su and Zhao Yan, plus those who have an impression in Xu Ping's memories of his previous life, such as Wen Yanbo, sighed at the fate of each person.

Xu Ping suddenly remembered and asked, "How is Bao Xiren now?" At that time, he said that his mother was old and did not go to Jianchang County to work, and changed to the state liquor tax, but he still did not go to work, but just did his filial piety at home. It's been nearly ten years, and I haven't seen him go to Beijing to be transferred, so have you been staying at home to serve your mother? ”

Zhang Dayou said: "That's right, for so many years, I have often heard people say that Bao Xiren is really a filial son. ”

According to the orthodox view at this time, it should be that the mother and the elder do not choose Lu, just like Shi Yannian. Parents have to support them when they are old, and the son of a man does not have the right to pick and choose in his official position, so he goes out early to earn money to support his family. Bao Zheng came the other way around, and after winning the Jinshi, he went home to farm, and honestly served his old mother.

Therefore, there is no absolute right or wrong in the world, depending on what you do and what others say.

Like Bao Zheng, if he is a teenager in high school and has no interest in officialdom in the future, then future generations will definitely say that his mother delayed his future. From another foreign point of view, if you are a jinshi but do not go out as an official, you will delay state affairs for family affairs, which can also be taken out and talked about.

Bao Zhengqi was surprised that he had not been out of office for ten years, he had done his filial piety at home, and after he became a leader, he was promoted like a rocket, and he did not delay his future. It is really the best of both worlds that it will be passed on to future generations. It's normal for different people to have different responses to the same thing. As long as it's not opportunistic, but sincere, it's possible to get things done and not be wrong because of your response.

This is exactly what the now lost and depressed Wang Yan lacks, there is nothing wrong with him opposing Xu Ping's cultivation of the river, it is really because of different political views and different angles of looking at problems, Xu Ping will not have an opinion on him. His problem is that since he is against the construction of the river, he should find a reason for his opposition in a down-to-earth manner and debate with Xu Ping in a dignified manner. He didn't, he took an opportunistic path from the beginning to end up where he is now. In the face of him, Xu Ping did not have any sympathy.

Xu Ping looked at Wang Yan beside him, who seemed to be soulless, and only shook his head secretly in his heart.

Speaking of Bao Zheng, Xu Ping remembered his friend Wen Yanbo. His qualifications are almost the same, and when he returns to Beijing this time, he should find a way to get him into the capital to work, and the relationship is there in the same year, so he is also his helper. As for Bao Zheng, it seems that he can't count on it for a while, and I don't know when he will be able to get out and become an official.

This matter needs to find an opportunity, although Xu Ping's status can be recommended to officials, but in the same year, it is better to avoid suspicion, and it is best to find a middleman. There are three gangs of a hero, and there must be someone to help in the officialdom.
