At night, Yan Mansion, Yan Jinxuan stood in front of the window of the study and pondered, and after a while, he paced up gently, and the light of the bean projected his tall figure onto the window, so that Honka on duty couldn't help but walk gently to this side.

Since the window was ajar, Honka asked softly outside the window, "Second Master, aren't you sleeping yet?" ”

He knew that whenever the second master meditated at the window, he must be thinking about solving some major problem, and he also knew that the more the second master encountered a major problem, the calmer he became, and the way to solve the problem was often unexpected.

"Ah, Honka, I'm still thinking about something, you can come in and sit with me." Yan Jinxuan looked at him and said with a smile.

"Okay." Honka then walked around the courtyard and through the main entrance of the study.

Yan Jinxuan's study is large, and the books on the shelves are neatly arranged according to classification, which looks like a small library cabinet.

Honka knew that the second master was a knowledgeable and talented person, so he always admired him. In the years of getting along with the second master, I feel that the second master is a person who has both chivalry and tenderness, and he rarely sees people from other men who can integrate these two things so perfectly, so he often sighs - the person who can be his wife in the future should be very happy. I hope the county lord can really understand his style, otherwise it would be a pity.

Yan Jinxuan stood by the window again.

Honka looked at his tall and straight back in a daze, hoping that he could help him.

After a while, Yan Jinxuan said, "Gu Song, grind it for me." ”

"The second master wants to write a letter?" Honka asked hurriedly.

"Hmm." The tone is light.

Honka knew that the lighter his tone was, the clearer his thoughts would be, so he hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

After Honka had finished studying the ink, Yan Jinxuan picked up the brush and wrote the letter, his handwriting was vigorous and powerful, bold and unrestrained, just like his people.

After writing the letter, Yan Jinxuan folded it and put it in an envelope, and then sealed it with paste.

"Honka, go to sleep, I'm going to sleep too."

……………

On the other side, on a private and elegant restaurant in the capital. Yan Shichong was drinking with three men in the box.

"Zhang Shilang, do you know that your current situation is extremely dangerous?" During the banquet, Yan Shichong looked at Zhang Yi, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and asked with a smile.

Each department has two waiters - the left waiter and the right waiter, and now the Ministry of Works is served by Yan Jinxuan as the left waiter. Zhang Yi served as the right attendant, and their status in the Ministry of Industry was equal.

This is the first time Yan Shichong invited Zhang Yi out for a drink, and Zhang Yi naturally guessed a little bit of his intentions.

"The villain doesn't know, and I hope the adult will make it clear." Zhang Yi pretended not to understand.

Although he joined the Ministry of Engineering a year earlier than Yan Jinxuan, he is far inferior to him in terms of ability. Therefore, in the past few years, thanks to Yan Jinxuan's guidance, he was able to sit in the position of the waiter step by step.

He knew that he couldn't surpass Yan Jinxuan in terms of ability, so he didn't think about competing with Yan Jinxuan, anyway, everyone did their jobs and did a good job.

As for their superior, Shen Jiahui, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is also a bold and methodical person, so he doesn't dare to fight this person's idea.

Yan Shichong's question was nothing more than hoping that he would create internal contradictions.

Doing things always has to be done according to one's ability, Zhang Yi knows his own catties.

"Zhang Shilang, you are cunning!" Yan Shichong didn't know whether he was really drunk or fake, so he pointed at Zhang Yi and laughed a few times.

Zhang Yi was a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.

"Zhang Shilang, do you remember that you owe me a favor?" Yan Shichong quietly drank two glasses of wine and then changed his words.

Of course Zhang Yi remembers.

back then. Due to extreme stress and lack of sleep, he suddenly fainted in the examination room during the palace examination, and was unconscious for nearly a quarter of an hour.

Yan Shichong, who was one of the invigilators at that time, personally asked the emperor to give him a chance. So the emperor allowed him to extend the time of the exam according to the time he fainted, so that he could continue to do the questions after he woke up.

That's why he has a chance to get into the top three.

Of course, he remembered this favor, and when he learned that he had won the top three, he personally brought gifts to Yan Shichong's house to ask for a meeting, but Yan Shichong did not receive him at that time, and only sent someone out to reply - it was just a gesture, Zhang Sheng didn't need to take it to heart.

At that time, he thought that Yan Shichong had a bold temperament and didn't care about it, so he didn't think much about it. And he went back.

Later, when I met Yan Shichong, I didn't forget to thank him personally.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, Yan Shichong suddenly mentioned this matter.

Zhang Yi suddenly felt like he was stuck in his throat.

"With the help of the adults back then, the official did not forget it." Zhang Yi hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.

Yan Shichong smiled and said, "No need to be polite, I won't embarrass you, I just hope that you can help me next time I need your help." ”

"If it is within the ability of the subordinate official, the subordinate official must do his best." Zhang Yi said cautiously.

"That's good, don't be nervous. Just come out and drink, and don't act like I'm going to eat you. Yan Shichong smiled heartily and ordered someone to serve a few more pots of chrysanthemum wine.

……

The next day, Yan Jinxuan's letter was handed over to Emperor Zhu Zhi through Yan Yunpei's hand.

It is an application letter that expresses the desire to apply for the writing of a water classic.

In the past five years, Weichen has traveled all over the country because of his position, and has been able to understand the geography, landform, soil, climate, water flow and local customs of the coastal areas. In addition, I have accumulated some experience in water control in recent years, so I wanted to write a book on water control, so as to provide a little reference for future generations. ”

This is the content of Yan Jinxuan's application.

Zhu Zhi was full of emotion after watching it.

It has been nearly 20 years, and there are few books on water control by his predecessors, and Zhu Zhi has also organized relevant people to write in the past 20 years, but most of them are slightly simple, and there are not too many examples for reference, so he is not satisfied.

Yan Jinxuan since entering the Ministry of Industry has little by little to show his outstanding talent in water control, so in just five years he is in the leading position among the national water control experts, if he can write such a book is naturally very convincing, coupled with his profound cultural heritage, Zhu Zhi can imagine the practical value and spiritual significance that this book can bring, so he immediately summoned Yan Jinxuan.

This is the second time Yan Jinxuan has been summoned by Zhu Zhi alone.

With a calm expression, he walked into the imperial study where Zhu Zhi was.

The afternoon sun was a little violent, Yan Jinxuan was dressed in a dignified court dress and saluted Zhu Zhi with a calm expression, and the sunlight was mottled on his body, making his face more and more like a crown of jade, and his aura was lofty.

It's already very rare to be talented, and you still look so good!

Zhu Zhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw it. (To be continued.) )

PS: Dear friends, the update is here, and it's late again, sorry! Relatives can come to see it an hour later next time I scheduled it, so it's more accurate, I'm too slow, woo woo woo!
