Li Chunfang was the champion of Jiajing for 26 years, and was first awarded Hanlin to compose it, and was selected to write green words in Xiyuan, which was greatly appreciated by Jiajing. Together with Yan Ne, the Hanlin attendant, he was exceptionally promoted to the Hanlin Bachelor, and was immediately promoted to Taichang Shaoqing, the right waiter of the official rite department and the left waiter of the official department, and the current secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

It has only been fifteen years since he entered the officialdom, and he is already the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he is close to the cabinet. Although this resume is not as good as the officialdom myth of Zhang Zhang's six-year entry into the cabinet, it is also an extremely rare and beautiful resume.

Even compared with Lin Haoran's resume, it is actually not inferior. Although Lin Haoran's promotion speed is amazing, Li Chunfang is much stronger than Lin Haoran in terms of status and potential.

He is now a dignified secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he has the favor of the emperor, and he has already stepped on the threshold of the cabinet with half a foot.

On the other hand, Lin Haoran wants to get to this point, but there is still a long way to go, especially when he enters the cabinet, he pays great attention to chance. Like Wu Shan, regardless of qualifications and prestige, he is not liked by the emperor, and there has been no movement so far.

Li Chunfang is in her early fifties, but she gives people the feeling of being in her early forties, and there is not a trace of gray hair on her head. He has the whiteness and elegance of the Jiangnan people, his facial features appear thin, and he is very kind between his eyebrows.

He is respectful, cautious, never domineering, and is a well-known good man in the current officialdom.

"Xiaguan Lin Haoran has seen the main hall!"

Lin Haoran walked into the signing room and said politely.

Although the two are already old acquaintances, whether it is Lin Haoran as the Si Shilang or as the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, they have occasional contact. It's just that the two didn't have a deep intersection before, so they weren't familiar with each other.

Li Chunfang looked up and saw that it was Lin Haoran, and said gently: "Uncle Zuo is here!" With that, he immediately put down the work in his hand, stood up from the chair and pointed to the outer hall and said kindly: "Uncle Zuo, let's sit outside!" ”

"Yes!" Lin Haoran immediately flashed to the side, and raised his hand to let Li Chunfang go first.

Li Chunfang can be as gentle as Xu Jie, but now that he is a subordinate official, he naturally has to know how to be polite. Now that he is the main hall, he still needs to win the support of this Shangshu Lord in many things, and he has to be restrained by the other party in many aspects.

Of course, the relationship between him and Xu Jie is here, but the two can't be too close.

"Uncle Zuo, what kind of tea do you drink?" Li Chunfang sat in the hall and asked softly to Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran gave Lin Fu a look, and said with a slight smile: "Xiaguan came back from Yangzhou, and this time he brought some good dried five-spice tea to Lord Zhengtang, why don't we give this tea a try?" ”

"Very good!" Li Chunfang's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded happily.

Lin Haoran gave Lin Fu a look, then pointed to the two jars and said, "Xiaguan visited Lingzun and Lingtang before, and they said that you have liked Yang Ji's pickles since you were a child, and you asked me to bring some this time!" ”

It is also a coincidence that Li Chunfang is a native of Xinghua County, the capital of Yangzhou, in Nanzhili.

During the salt patrol, Lin Haoran went to visit the Li Mansion on the way. At that time, he didn't expect Li Chunfang to be his new boss, but for this court boss, it would be right if he could form a little good fate.

Thanks to the relationship between Cao Meng and the Li family, and the cake of Gangyan also gave some of the Li family's side points, so that the guests of honor could be said to have a good conversation, so they received preferential treatment from the Li family.

Lin Fu put the jar on the table, and there was a faint smell of pickles.

In this era, almost everyone has a filial piety. Although Yangzhou is not too far from the capital, it is not easy to return to his hometown and province, and it is impossible for a big man like Li Chunfang to walk away.

Li Chunfang looked at the pickles that her parents copied, her eyes couldn't help but moisten, but she restrained her excitement and said, "I'm tired of Uncle Zuo this time!" The ministry felt guilty that they couldn't serve the two elders, but they still let them worry about it from time to time, and they were really ashamed of being the sons of men! ”

"Lord Zhengtang is serious, the old man and the old lady are proud of you, presumably the two old men are also reasonable people, and they know that Da Ming can't do without the main hall!" Lin Haoran immediately said with relief.

Li Chunfang sighed again, looked closer to Lin Haoran, and asked seriously: "Uncle Zuo, how are they doing?" ”

"It's tough! Especially the boss, I like the riverside anchovy very much, and that day, between the tables, Xia Guan saw that the boss had eaten two large bowls of rice! Lin Haoran responded with a smile.

Li Chunfang glanced at Lin Haoran unexpectedly, but she didn't expect that her father liked to eat riverside anchovy so clearly, and she knew that Lin Haoran was not untargeted, so she was a lot relieved.

He is not afraid of his parents' identity, he wants to resign and go home to keep filial piety, but purely hopes that his parents can be healthy.

The servant brought tea and placed it at their tables.

Li Chunfang tasted this dried spiced tea and tasted this familiar taste, which added a lot of good impression to Lin Haoran.

He nodded with satisfaction, and then turned to official affairs and said: "Uncle Zuo, you have just taken office, and you should have been familiar with it for a while, but now that it is the end of the year, the Ministry of Rites has many matters, and you have to help with it!" ”

"The lower officials are all under the orders of the main hall!" It was impossible for Lin Haoran to follow Li Chunfang as soon as he came, so he gave up his hand seriously.

Li Chunfang put down the teacup and said in a consultative tone: "I have already discussed with Uncle You, you will be in charge of the ceremonial system and the main and guest cleaning department, and you will also be in charge of the same hall and the casting and sealing department, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

According to the past, it is usually arranged like this, after all, the left waiter is naturally more weighty than the right waiter. As for replacing the Teaching Department with the Huitongguan, I don't know if it is to maintain Lin Haoran or other reasons.

"The subordinate obeys!" Lin Haoran raised his eyes and glanced at Li Chunfang, and then quietly agreed.

Although he knew that this was a foreshadowing for follow-up actions, he had no reason to refuse. After all, being in this court, there are some things that cannot be avoided at all.

The two said some more words, and Lin Haoran took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

Since he was in charge of the ceremonial system and the main and guest cleaning department, he was already the leader in charge of these two important departments. While the other two divisions secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the officials of the two divisions also considered themselves unlucky.

At the reception banquet in the same hall, Li Chunfang could be said to have not attended for fear of taking over the guests, but the right waiter played the thunder and did not attend, which is a little too much.

Lin Haoran didn't pay too much attention to this, he also understood Qin Minglei's thoughts, and dared to hate himself for "robbing" his left waiter.

But Qin Leiming didn't want to think about it, if he hadn't met the absurd Emperor Jiajing, he would just be a third-class jinshi who was assigned a county magistrate or an official, where could he get the title of champion.
