Anyway, after seeing Miss Zhang this time, Fan Hongdao only felt that he was in a much better mood, probably because he saw the current situation clearly and found the direction to break the situation. When he returned to the official office, Fan Hongdao was immediately called by Shen Yongmao Shen, the eldest prince, and was reprimanded for splitting his head and covering his face.

But Master Fan uncharacteristically did not make any explanation or quibble, and listened to Shen Yongmao's lesson with a smile. This made Shen Dagongzi feel bottomless, he didn't know what medicine was sold in Fan Hongdao's gourd, and the reprimand voice became smaller and smaller. Conventionally, no criticism is allowed at all, and the Fan Hongdao who jumped up and lifted the table is the normal Fan Hongdao.

"What the hell do you have to say? Master Shen unconsciously used a tone of discussion.

Fan Hongdao was like a spring breeze, "That's the case, I went out to visit the old man of the Pavilion today, and finally had some experience, and it is necessary to report one or two to the hall." ”

Hearing his father, Shen Dagongzi couldn't help but be curious, and wanted to know what Fan Hongdao had come up with. Then Fan Hongdao said unhurriedly: "The elder of the pavilion asked him to recommend the candidates for the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, on the surface, it is to promote the subordinates, but in fact, the real meaning of the elder is to promote the hall to respect you." ”

Shen Dagongzi was confused, from the bottom of his heart, he was really jealous that Fan Hongdao had obtained such a cloud-shaking power, and he really didn't understand why his father granted Fan Hongdao.

"Tang Zun, think about it carefully, is it a good place to be here in the past few days? But everyone who comes to ask to see Tang Zun should see Tang Zun first? After all, Tang Zun is the chief official here, and there is no reason not to see Tang Zun when he arrives here.

This is the opportunity created by the elder for the cousin, and it will invisibly prompt the elder to get to know more contacts, and he will definitely benefit a lot in the future!

Grand Prince Shen was a little confused, is this really the case?

It is said that since the eldest son of Shen was appointed as the county governor of the Nancheng Branch, he moved from the Shen Mansion to live in the yamen. According to the rules of the Imperial Court, magistrates must reside in the official residence of the Yamen and are not allowed to leave the territory on duty. As a result, Shen Dagongzi rarely went home, and the number of times he saw his father decreased sharply.

In this case, Shen Dagongzi saw Fan Hongdao go to his house again and again, fight with his father, and even repeatedly participated in important planning, and was entrusted with important tasks by his father, and even now he actually allows him to recommend candidates for the Ministry of Rites!

Therefore, Shen Dagongzi will inevitably give birth, and he is puzzled about who is his own son. Otherwise, why did his father attach so much importance to Fan Hongdao, more than his more than 20 years of life experience.

Now that he heard Fan Hongdao's explanation, Shen Dagongzi felt that his soul was relieved, could it be that his father had a deep meaning and he couldn't see it?

Fan Hongdao observed his words and looks, thinking that the time was almost up, and said to Shen Yongmao: "Therefore, I feel that the elder of the pavilion may be to avoid suspicion by recommending candidates below." I don't know much about the courtiers, so how can I have any opinions, so after thinking about it, it's better to let Tangzun help me plan for this. ”

When most officials face the temptation of power, they will be more or less moved, and Shen Dagongzi is no exception. Maybe Shen Yongmao, who is fifty or sixty years old, has enough restraint, but Shen Dagongzi, who is in his twenties, has no such ability.

If Shen Dagongzi still lives at home, with his father Shen Shoufu's day and night reminders, he can still reveal the truth behind fame and fortune, but now that Shen Dagongzi is a ground official, he can't go home easily, and his consideration of the problem is much more superficial. I just subconsciously asked, "Is this possible?"

Fan Hongdao said generously: "How can it not be feasible? Now who inside and outside does not know, in the lower cabinet elder knows the grace, so in the lower position and the hall is really one, what the hall thinks is in the next choice!"

Seeing that Shen Dagongzi's heart was moved, Fan Hongdao immediately and decisively said: "My father's death day is approaching, and I have decided to go to the Xishan temple to fast for ten days.

Although Shen Dagongzi always felt that something was wrong, he couldn't think of anything wrong, and after a few "ahs", he watched Fan Hongdao leave in a daze. Suddenly, he patted his head, except for the death of his parents, there is no rule in officialdom to ask for leave for ten days!

The next day, Fan Hongdao came out of the official residence, but was blocked. I saw Zhu Shufang and Zhu "Gongzi" with a few entourages blocking the door of their house tightly.

Fan Hongdao suddenly asked very insecurely: "How did you get in here?"

Fan Hongdao remembered that the county lord Zhu lived directly in the county government office in Daxing County, and directly occupied a three-entry courtyard. And the Nancheng branch office is the branch office of the county government of Daxing County, and Zhu Shufang naturally has the ability to get involved. Not to mention anything else, many of the servants in the Nancheng Branch Office were transferred from the Daxing County Ya.

Fan Hongdao asked again: "Then what are you doing blocking the door?" Zhu Dajun replied as a matter of course: "If I invite you, and you don't come, if I want to see you, I can only make this decision, at least you can't avoid it." ”

Fan Hongdao looked at the several majestic guards behind Lord Zhu in distress, and then looked at the little lady Li beside him. Little Lady Li shook her head slightly, and told Fan Hongdao that he was not sure that he could fight, Fan Hongdao had no choice but to say: "Since you are here, then come in and talk!

Zhu Shufang smiled slightly and entered the courtyard. As he walked, he said to Fan Hongdao: "Don't worry, I won't make you embarrassed this time!

Fan Hongdao didn't know why, Zhu Shufang said again: "Did you go to see that Miss Zhang yesterday? Don't be so surprised, I sent someone to keep an eye on you, and now your biggest problem is that you don't know how to make a decision between me and her, right?"

So now, please be the host and invite Miss Zhang to come and formally introduce it to me. I'll talk to her personally and try to come up with a result, so that you don't have to continue to be embarrassed and hide from anyone. ”

Fan Hongdao frowned, Lord Zhu has this idea now? She knew that she couldn't force herself to support her wholeheartedly, so she changed her mind and started with Miss Zhang? It stands to reason that this is not impossible, and it also saves both of them from harassing herself, and she is in a dilemma in the middle, but she always feels that something is wrong.

Suddenly, Fan Hongdao remembered the identity of Miss Zhang, and remembered the origin of Lord Zhu. I couldn't help but pat my thigh and shouted, "It's broken!"
