But I saw that the bamboo of the calligraphy and painting was painted with great charm, and there were two rocks at the bottom, which seemed quite imposing, and the poem inscribed was: insisting that the green mountains are not relaxed, and the roots are in the broken rocks. Thousands of blows are still strong, and the wind blows from east to west, north and south.

Seeing his poem "Bamboo and Stone" being cited, he could only smile helplessly, there is no concept of copyright protection in this era.

In essence, those poems about his bamboo gentleman have long been quoted by many readers, and they are hung in their living rooms, flower halls, study rooms and other places in a high-sounding manner.

Lin Haoran is not a stingy person, after all, he actually quotes others. Just looking at this calligraphy and painting, I suddenly remembered that there had been no new work for a long time, and in order to keep my reputation as a bamboo gentleman, it seemed that I needed to throw another poem.

The sky was not beautiful, and suddenly snowflakes fell.

Lin Haoran sat in the flower hall and waited, although he had been waiting for most of the hour, his face was still leisurely, drinking tea leisurely and enjoying the snow scene in the courtyard.

The bare peach trees in the courtyard, the branches and trunks of which were soon stained with some snowflakes, looked like some blooming petals from a distance.

Lin Haoran didn't like or hate the snow, and when he looked at the peach trees, Steward Guo stepped forward and said, "Lin Fuyin, my lord is invited!" ”

"Steward Guo, please lead the way!"

Lin Haoran put down the teacup and said with a slight smile on his face.

Steward Guo glanced at Lin Haoran in surprise, and found that Lin Haoran's face immediately did not have any dissatisfaction, and when he was secretly admiring in his heart, he was also honestly leading the way in front.

"The old slave has seen the young master!"

At the corner, Steward Guo met Guo Gongzi and immediately saluted respectfully.

Guo Gongzi's recent days have been very leisurely, he has just returned from drinking, and he looked at his housekeeper and immediately said with a big grin: "Steward Guo, where are you going, where is my father?" ”

"The old man asked the old slave to lead Lin Fuyin to the living room!" Steward Guo flashed his body, raised his hand and pointed to Lin Haoran behind him.

Lin Haoran faced Guo Gongzi, who was full of alcohol, and said with a slight smile: "Guo Gongzi, long time no see!" ”

When Guo Gongzi heard Lin Haoran, the drunkenness of the whole person immediately dissipated, and he looked at Lin Haoran in horror. But he has not forgotten the hard days in the Shuntian Mansion last year.

Steward Guo glanced at Guo Gongzi inexplicably, saw that Guo Gongzi was silent, arched his hand at Guo Gongzi, and made a gesture of invitation to Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran glanced at Guo Gongzi with a smile, and walked forward.

"If you have revenge, you don't take revenge, it's not a gentleman!"

Guo Gongzi watched Lin Haoran walk away, and the whole person came back to his senses, and immediately said hatefully.

Guo Pu was not in the study, but in the living room.

Lin Haoran didn't have any emotional fluctuations about all this, and as Steward Guo arrived in the living room, he said to Guo Pu Shili, who was sitting on the master's seat, in a proper manner: "Xiaguan Lin Haoran has seen Tianguan!" ”

Guo Pusheng had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a standard Guozi face, wearing a scarlet official uniform, and the official authority of the whole person was even more prevalent, and he gently raised his hand to Lin Haoran and said, "Lin Fuyin, please take a seat!" ”

"Thank you, Heavenly Officer!" Lin Haoran gave another salute, and then sat down on the seat next to him.

Guo Pu pinched the lid of the tea and lightly splashed the boiling tea, first raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Haoran, but suddenly asked with a straight face: "Lin Fuyin, why do you want to make such a joke with this official?" ”

Lin Haoran knew that he was referring to the temptation that passed through Zhang Yongming yesterday, and did not choose to prevaricate, but explained: "Lord Tianguan, Xia Guan also heard this, so he mentioned it to Zhang Zongxian in passing, but he didn't want to reach the ears of Tianguan so soon!" As he spoke, he arched his hand at Guo Pu again: "Please also invite Tianguan Haihan, is it a non-existent thing?" ”

Guo Pu knew that the previous words highlighted the intimate relationship between him and Zhang Yongming, but his face did not change: "Not bad! Naturally, it's a fictitious thing, and it's clear that you're spreading rumors! ”

"Lord Tianguan, what would you do if this thing was true?" Lin Haoran immediately got straight to the point, looked at Guo Pu and asked.

When he said this, he was actually a little nervous in his heart. If Guo Pu gives a promise, it will undoubtedly be a good result, but if Guo Pu is clearly on Xu Jie's side, then their situation will be extremely passive.

Guo Pu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea slowly, then raised his eyes to look at Lin Haoran and said with a straight face: "I will explain this matter to Brother Yue Jing, don't get involved with you, a junior!" ”

Lin Haoran listened to the title of this "junior", which was undoubtedly a kind of disrespect to him, and a wave of anger immediately surged in his heart. More importantly, Guo Pu did not answer his questions head-on, let alone give them some promises.

Years of officialdom have allowed him to control his emotions, and Lin Haoran suppressed his anger and asked solemnly: "I came here this time on behalf of my father-in-law, please tell me the truth!" ”

"You still can't represent your father-in-law, I will talk to Brother Yue Jing about this matter in detail! This is also an assumption of yours, and how can Lord Motosuke be such a narrow-minded person, you should not live the belly of a gentleman as a villain! Guo Pu put down the teacup, but said with a straight face.

Lin Haoran listened to the other party's tone, and had already thrown the tea cup aside, he already didn't plan to continue to negotiate with him, and even felt that he, the "junior", was not qualified to negotiate with him at all.

Guo Pu has been honored as the secretary of the ministry, and he is deeply respected by the emperor, not only has a deep connection in the capital, but also has important positions such as the imperial history of Zuodu, the governor of Caoyun and the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Now that his power and strength have risen sharply, and he is about to preside over the most important Jingcha, he no longer takes his little Shuntian Mansion Yin seriously.

Lin Haoran's hands couldn't help but clench into fists in his sleeves, but his years of officialdom made him suppress the youthful and vigorous fire, and instead poured up the tea cup and said with a straight face: "The progress of opening the sea in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is slow, and the lower officials think that the problem lies in the candidates promoted by Ningbo City, I want to recommend one person, I don't know if it's possible?" ”

"You are too impatient to open the sea, and this official doesn't think it's inappropriate, and you don't want to meddle in the affairs of my ministry!" Guo Pu still had a straight face and said in a warning tone.

The Ningbo City Department was reopened, but the candidate promoted by the City Department was Xu Jie's protégé. And after this person took office, he did not actively promote the opening of the sea at all, it was simply a vegetarian meal for corpses.

The most important thing is that with the intensification of the problem of Japanese pirates in Fujian, and the resignation of Hu Zongxian has made the southeast unstable, the current court has heard the voice of closing the Ningbo City Bosi.

Lin Haoran threw out this matter, in essence, he did not want to hope that Ningbo Bo Si Tiju could be replaced, but in fact, he was another test of Guo Pu.
