Yang Shanzong was quite polite in the letter, but the words were profound and sharp, Ouyang Jie was shocked, and for the first time in his life, he had the idea of returning to his hometown.

Yang Shanzong didn't have much contact with this younger brother, but Ouyang Jie was different, since he arrived in the capital, he had to deal with Gao Yun almost every day.

The more he came into contact, the more he understood Gao Yun, and the more he regretted taking on this drudgery.

As a staff member, he knows too much, what he should know, what he shouldn't know, what he can see, what he can't see, he takes it all.

Gao Yun is narrow-minded, the reason why he can still see Yang Shanzong's face and treat him Ouyang Jie as a guest is entirely because he has not yet gained a firm foothold in the cabinet.

Ouyang Jie sighed secretly, read the letter at a glance and ten lines, Gao Yun looked at him with deep eyes, and was not embarrassed by Yang Shanzong's tone in this letter, seeing Ouyang Jie fold the letter into Fang Sheng and put it back into the envelope, Gao Yun asked, "What is Mr. Ouyang's opinion?"

Ouyang Jie said unhurriedly: "Although Lord Yang has also been in a high position, he has never entered the cabinet, and he has a very shallow relationship with several cabinet elders, and in the eyes of his old man, Qin Jue is only a junior, let alone a little bit of Qin Jue, so the students think that what Lord Yang said, Dong Weng cannot be completely moved, nor can he be abandoned." ”

His words couldn't help but feel a little more comfortable, and said: "Mr. Ouyang is very right, Lord Yang is wise and wise, but unfortunately he has always been in office, and what he sees and hears is only Sichuan." ”

Ouyang Jie said yes again and again, and analyzed the points mentioned in Yang Shanzong's letter one by one, Gao Yun listened and listened, only to feel that the dark clouds in the sky had dispersed, and his worried heart had finally settled down.

The next day, Gao Jiaping, the third son of the Gao family, fell ill.

Gao Yun, as the first assistant, it stands to reason that it is not difficult to invite a doctor to see a doctor, but the Gao family invited a doctor after inviting a few famous doctors in the capital.

After that, the Gao family spread the news that although the third son's body was fine, he needed to recuperate for a few years, Gao Yun went to see the emperor with a shameful face, saying that his son was sick, and the matter of marriage would be talked about later, so as not to delay the girl.

The family affairs of the Gao and Qin families, who were talked about in the capital a while ago, will not be over.

Gao Yun breathed a long sigh of relief, not long after Wang Chengqiu died, Yang Shanzong asked him to stay in the dark during this time, not to clash head-on with Huo Ying and Han Qianchu, and the Qin family didn't have to pay attention to it, Qin Jue just didn't want to marry him, a hairy boy who had been in office for less than ten years, what else?

But if this matter with the Qin family is not handled well, it will be used by Huo Ying and Han Qianchu to use this trivial matter to make monstrous waves.

Now it is an eventful autumn, the imperial court is the time to employ people, instead of fighting with Huo Ying and Han Qianchu, it is better to bring more juniors, instead of wanting to rely on marriage with the family to gain a firm foothold, it is better to cultivate their own people, and then insert these people into the six ministries and three courts, the higher the official position of these people, the more stable his teacher can stand.

So after solving the family affairs with the Qin family, Gao Yun began to sort out the worship posts, and among the people who came to talk to him, he selected a few materials that could be made.

It's a pity that these people are either from merchants, or they are the children of some fourth- and fifth-grade official eunuchs;

He looked for people in the list of the palace exams, the first class didn't need to look at it, they had already been pulled away, and the top three people didn't need to look at it, these people were too low, so they could only choose people in the second class jinshi.

Seeing that he chose people like this, Ouyang Jie couldn't help shaking his head in his heart, you are already the first assistant, and you still choose students from among the people who have just come out? Even if these people make up for the shortcomings, they are just small officials of seven grades and eight grades, what is the matter with you as a first assistant with a group of small officials?

But Gao Yun is not a person who can listen to persuasion in everything, Ouyang Jie hinted twice, Gao Yun didn't listen, so he didn't bother to say it.

He is a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and often goes to the small Shaoxing teahouse near Suzhou Street to drink tea.

Ouyang Jie had the idea of retreating, so he didn't bother to make friends with high-ranking families anymore, but he liked to deal with these people, he only said that he used to be in Sichuan, and then Sichuan was occupied by Gong Wuji of the 100,000 army, and his errand was gone, so he went to the capital to take a walk while he had nothing to do.

These Shaoxing masters immediately sympathized with him, although they didn't mix well, but they also followed the Beijing officials, although the officials were not big, but they didn't have to be like those people in Sichuan, Lianghu, and Guizhou, and became lost dogs.

People are like this, when they see that there are people who are worse than themselves, there is no hostility, and after coming and going, Ouyang Jie is familiar with these people.

One day, they were sitting in Xiaoshaoxing again, and a man named Meng Zhaoxing came the latest and brought a friend.

Meng Zhaoxing introduced: "This Brother Jiao is also our fellow villager in Shaoxing, and he is now under the disciple of Lord Luo Shaoluo, the priest of the country. ”

The surnamed Jiao is in his early forties, with a white complexion, a mustache, and a three-point smile when he sees people, and he looks like he has been a master for many years.

Hearing that he was Luo Shao's subordinate, everyone was a little more respectful, Ouyang Jie was secretly surprised, he didn't expect to meet Luo Shao's staff here.

Although he had just arrived in the capital, he had a lot of respect for these officials in the capital. Luo Shao was born in two lists, worshiped under Huo Ying, who was still a servant of the Ministry at the time, and after being the magistrate of the county for two terms, he was implicated by Huo Ying, and there was no errand, until Huo Ying recovered, he was reused, Mrs. Xuxian is the daughter of Mr. Fengyang Zhang Jin, and his eldest daughter is Qin Jue's wife. In addition, Huo Ying also has a student, Huo Xing, who is now in the Criminal Department, Huo Xing is Huo Ying's eldest grandson.

Ouyang Jie quickly recalled Luo Shao's resume and family history, and after everyone drank tea in Xiao Shaoxing and said goodbye to each other, he stopped Jiao Wei on the street near Xiao Shaoxing.

Jiao Wei returned to Yangshu Hutong, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this Ouyang Jie was not what he said, so he went to find a few fellow villagers in the capital, and with a number in his heart, he told Luo Shao about his encounter with Ouyang Jie as it was.

The student didn't know the identity of this Ouyang Jie at the beginning, and when he came back, he met him again, and after chatting with him, he saw that he had something to say, a gully in his chest, and an elegant style in his speech and demeanor, and he didn't look like a down-and-out person, and heard him say that he used to be in Sichuan, so the student went to inquire, and under the former Sichuan political envoy Yang Shanzong, several staff members were from Shaoxing, so the student suspected that the Sichuan official Ouyang Jie had followed before was Yang Shanzong. ”
