It's another early April morning, and last night's torrential rain has washed the entire houses and streets of the capital to a new look, and the crisp sound of birds can be heard from the branches of the green locust trees, and the flowerbeds that have been ravaged by the rain bloom more vividly.

A house is like a world, from the front yard to the back garden has a sense of etiquette, but under careful study, it reveals all kinds of differences.

The mansion of the Lin Mansion was built according to the framework of the standards of this era, and the Hanging Flower Gate completely separated the outer house from the inner house, but it was already open at this moment.

The servants of the Lin Mansion are already busy in the house, some are responsible for the master's daily life and washing, some are preparing a delicious breakfast, and the palanquin man and the guardian in the front yard are also ready to go.

In the past, the poor boy who chopped wood for a living has now become a high-powered left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and he is taken care of by people for food, clothing, housing and transportation, as if he is a pampered official.

Even if someone is called to get up, no one will dare to shout loudly in their ears, but knock on the cloud board outside, so that Lin Haoran will wake up undisturbed.

Lin Haoran has also been affected by the unresolved future recently, and he just had another dream. In the dream, he became the Zaisuke of the current dynasty, and it was he who got up in thanksgiving, but he saw an unspeakable person sitting on the dragon chair.

As the days went by, he habitually washed his mouth and face, and the water temperature was always just right.

Wu Qiuyu is a typical lady, although she had a rebellious age in the past, but as she married into the Lin family and became the mother of the Lin family, the whole person became more and more dignified and generous.

She is also served by others, but when Lin Haoran is dressed, she always comes over to help Lin Haoran carefully sort out her clothes, from the black gauze hat to the cuffs, she will carefully check and comb them.

If the official uniform of an ordinary official is torn, it can only be repaired, but if Lin Haoran's official uniform is torn somewhere, he will usually make a new one.

Lin Haoran and Wu Qiuyu have been married for more than three years, and they also know each other's temperament, and while they are at her mercy, they also open their mouths to provoke: "My husband originally wanted to give you a second-grade pearl crown to wear, but because Xu Ge Lao was in the way, you have to say more bad things about the Xu family in your circle of Mrs. Xu!" ”

The two are already closely linked, if Lin Haoran can be promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, then Wu Qiuyu will naturally rise to the top, and they will both be awarded the second-grade Lady of the Order.

"If Xianggong is angry in his heart, he should find it himself...... Field, how can I let a woman bite the root of people's tongue! Wu Qiuyu helped him tidy up his clothes, looking resentful.

Lin Haoran shrugged his shoulders and said very naturally: "A husband is a husband who can bend and stretch, I'm afraid that a little woman like you will suffocate if she is angry, so I'll give you a trick for my husband!" ”

"The concubine has no qi in her body and mind, although she also wants to wear a second-grade bead crown, but she doesn't care at all! Now none of them dares to underestimate the concubine room, and they always praise the concubine room for marrying a good husband! Wu Qiuyu was no longer overly persistent, and said the last sentence shyly.

Lin Haoran looked at Wu Qiuyu and really didn't mind this, so he smiled knowingly: "This time it is more ideal to be transferred to the left servant of the ministry, as long as you occupy this position, once the six Shangshu are vacant, the first one has to consider your husband!" ”

"The concubine wishes the prime minister to be able to worship the book as soon as possible, and the concubine can also be a noble woman, and wear a second-grade bead crown on her head!" Wu Qiuyu said in a kind manner.

Lin Haoran left the room, and when he arrived in the dining room, the table was already on the table with a hot Cantonese breakfast.

Lin Haoran was accustomed to eating preserved egg and lean porridge, and sandwiched a few pieces of steamed pork ribs and a small plate of boiled vegetables, which could be regarded as a deal. Although he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking now, the amount of food is not large, so his body is still thin.

"Go slowly!"

Wu Qiuyu combed her makeup, sent Lin Haoran to the sedan chair in an orderly manner, and sent her off with a courtesy.

The sedan chair procession went out of Lingshi Hutong and soon arrived on the street.

Shouts were heard on both sides of the street, and hot water vapor was rising from the street food stalls, and the people who lived here had already started their day's work.

Officials' palanquins or carriages appeared in the streets, and the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the officers of the Shuncheon Mansion maintained order in the city, making it all orderly.

The Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, the Yamen of the Ministry of Household and the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials are in the same lane, the north end is connected to Xi'an Street, and the south end is connected to Dongjiang Rice Lane, which is the most lively lane.

Since the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites is adjacent to Dongjiang Rice Lane, and the time of the Yamen on this lane has always been crowded, Lin Haoran's team usually takes Dongjiang Rice Lane to come directly to the Ministry of Rites.

Lin Haoran sat in the sedan chair with his eyes closed all the way, and when the sedan chair slowly fell in front of the door of the left waiter's office, the sedan curtain in front of him was opened, and then he opened his eyes and walked out.

Lin Fu hurriedly walked over, handed over an envelope and said solemnly: "Uncle Nineteen, this is the letter that your father-in-law just sent someone from the palace!" ”

Lin Haoran knew that there must be something important, otherwise his father-in-law would not be in such a hurry to deliver the news to him, so he immediately opened the envelope curiously. The content of the letter is not big, but the message is very impactful.

The high-arched sedan chair stopped in front of the right waiter's office at this time, and was about to walk out of the right waiter's office, but when he noticed that Lin Haoran was standing quietly in place, he couldn't help but take a look at it curiously.

After Lin Fu's reminder, Lin Haoran quickly recovered as before, nodded lightly at the high arch in the distance, and then walked out of his left waiter's office.

It's just that his heart is slightly rippling, and the expected big adjustment will be staged today, and he ...... It is likely that he will be transferred to the left servant of the ministry.

Due to Li Chunfang's entry into the cabinet, Lin Haoran, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, became the acting secretary of the Ministry of Rites, presiding over matters such as ordering and so on every day. In addition to not entering the main hall signing room, he is already in charge of all the affairs of the Ministry of Rites.

Seeing that the time was about the same, Lin Haoran went to the second hall to preside over the order.

The officials and scribes of the four divisions also came to the hall in a regular manner to wait for the roll call, but because Lin Haoran paid great attention to discipline, no one dared to be late or absent from work.

Recently, the gossip has been flying all over the sky, and I thought that Lin Haoran would naturally serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but then the news that Li Chunfang recommended Yin Tai, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, came again, and now it is said that Lin Haoran is going to level the left servant of the Ministry of Rites.

It is also for this reason that many officials speculate that this left attendant of the Ministry of Rites may be leaving the Ministry of Rites, which makes many people feel a little reluctant.

Although Lin Haoran is much more serious than Li Chunfang, he treats people more fairly, and has repeatedly solved problems related to their vital interests such as festival expenses.

"Lord Ministry, all the staff are absent!" The officer in charge of the roll call handed over a roster and reported respectfully.

Lin Haoran sat in the hall as before, facing the more than 100 officials, and said loudly: "The headquarters knows that everyone has been concerned about the major adjustment of the imperial court recently, and they have also been paying attention to the stay of the headquarters!" It's just that no matter how the imperial court adjusts, whether the headquarters is going or staying, you are all officials and officials of the Ming Rites Department, and the first task is to deal with the things at hand! ”

"Yes!"

The officials knew that this Lin Haoran was this pragmatic style, and while secretly admiring Lin Haoran for being so calm, they also solemnly bowed their hands.

Lin Haoran was not affected by the upcoming adjustments, but arranged some affairs step by step, striving to arrange everything properly, even if he left, he could not leave a mess.

After presiding over the ceremony, he returned to the signing room of the Left Attendant Office and began to deal with some of the most important matters. In fact, many things had been taken care of a few days earlier, and he was ready to leave at any time.

After a while, Long Chi Zhongxing ran in, and said with a smile on his face: "Senior brother, I just got a news: Yang Bo, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has resigned!" ”
