He Liangjun is a local, and he has been friends with Qian Zheng for many years, and he has long heard that Qian Yuan has a reputation for being stubborn and mean-spoken, but in fact, he didn't really believe the rumors that Qian Yuan is now "gentle as jade".

But after knowing the origin of Qian Yuan and Sun Sheng, He Liangjun believed that things gather people in groups, and he became famous in Beijing last year because of Sun Sheng's strong recommendation, and Sun Jiquan can afford the word "warm as jade" in the world.

He Liangjun in the carriage glanced at Qian Yuan opposite, this little guy is still young after all, and his temperament is a little jumpy, and he lifts the curtain from time to time to look out.

Poor Qian Yuan hasn't come out for more than a month, when He Liangjun came to pick up people this morning, Lu Shusheng said a few ugly words with a black face, and wrote three questions for Qian Yuan to hand in tomorrow...... You can take a leave of absence, but the topic still has to be done!

"If you can get the personal guidance of Pingquan Gong, Mr. Qian will definitely take the exam and enter the school early in the future." He Liangjun chuckled.

"Mr. He is a friend of my uncle, so call me Brother Yuan." Qian Yuan lowered the curtain and smiled shyly, "I don't know who the one I visited today?" ”

"This person's surname is Gu, his name is Dingfang, and he is also your uncle's friend." He Liangjun introduced: "He is the grandson of Gu Ying, a famous eunuch in Songjiang during the Tianshun period. ”

He Liangjun discussed it with the Qian family, and this time he wanted to see it, but he didn't inform Qian Yuan in advance, after all, he was still keeping filial piety.

Qian Yuan frowned, "Mr. Gu has returned to his hometown, so the juniors came to visit?" ”

The meaning of this is obvious, since it is light and righteous, then friends must be all over Songjiang, why do you have to come to visit, there are always some other reasons.

This little guy thought a lot, He Liangjun smiled, and continued: "Your uncle is a Jinshi in the fourteenth year of Jiajing, and he was elected as a Shujishi, and at that time it was Xia Guixi, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of Hanlin, who was in charge of the Hanlin Academy. ”

"I know about this, and later Xia Guixi was abandoned in the city, Yu Maojian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Tu Qiao, the imperial history of Zuodu, cited the minister's letter to reduce the death penalty, and only the uncle in the ministry at that time gave the uncle in the matter a letter, and was later demoted out of Beijing." Qian Yuan blinked, he didn't know that his uncle and Xia Yan had a teacher-student relationship.

Theoretically, the officials of the Hanlin Academy are all students of the Hanlin Academy, but in practice, this relationship is not absolute.

For example, Xu Jie, who was the first assistant of the cabinet and the head of the Hanlin Academy, said openly to Zhang Fujing: "Betrayal is born of attachment, I didn't attach to you, how can betrayal come from?" ”

But if there is a relationship of dependence or support between the two, it can be said that the name of teacher and student, such as Zhang Juzheng and Xu Jie in the future.

Between that Xia Yan and his uncle......

Faced with Qian Yuan's question, He Liangjun explained: "When the pavilion was disbanded, Xia Yan wanted your uncle to stay in the Hanlin Academy, but your uncle refused. ”

Qian Yuan twitched the corners of his mouth, is this stupid?

The image of an official with a resolute temperament but who does not know how to be flexible gradually took shape in Qian Yuan's mind.

He Liangjun brought the topic back and continued: "After the death of Guixi in the summer of that year, your uncle was demoted out of Beijing, Gu Dingfang cried and ordered his son Gu Congli to cry and collect the body. ”

After a pause, He Liangjun sighed: "Brother Qian resolutely wrote a book and was degraded out of Beijing and did not regret it, Gu Dingfang was willing to take a risk to collect Xia Guixi's body, both of them were admired by the government and the opposition, and they have been engaged since then. ”

Qian Yuan's eyes flickered, and he said softly after half a ring: "So, the junior wants to visit Mr. Gu?" ”

Qian Yuan is not so stupid, his uncle is away, and his friends are returning home, in this case, a letter or a gift list from his uncle is enough to deal with it, why should his nephew come forward?

Could it be that Gu Dingfang wants to see him?

"Mr. He, what did you just say...... Mr. Gu has a strong temperament? ”

"Not bad." He Liangjun pondered for a moment and said: "Last year, when I asked about the reason for using medicine, I replied that 'using medicine is like employing people'; ”

Faced with such an answer, Qian Yuan was expressionless and speechless.

Well, it's true that he has a strong temperament, not only is he strong, it's just a head iron!

Jiajing is a well-known emperor in history who likes alchemy and cultivation, and his temper is notoriously bad, and his temperament is even more famously strong...... You're lucky not to chop it.

You must know that in the newspaper more than a month ago, a large number of officials just omitted the word "longevity" from the congratulatory table, and each of them was demoted out of Beijing after receiving 40 court rods.

Shanghai County is not far from Huating County, after all, today's Songjiang Mansion is much smaller than the previous Shanghai area, and Jiading and Chongming are now subordinate to Suzhou Prefecture.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Gu's house, Zhang San, Yang Wen and others stood guard at the gatehouse, and the servants led He Liangjun and Qian Yuan into the inner courtyard.

"Zheng Zhi County is so clean, this is the blessing of Songjiang." The tall old man stood in front of the hall with a loud voice, "You can ask someone to handle this matter." ”

The middle-aged man on the side responded respectfully, and the old man who happened to leave called him again, "Let people buy 30 acres of land in the countryside of Zhengzhi County and give it to their families, and they will not be exempt from the New Year's Festival." ”

He Liangjun, who was not far away, explained in a low voice: "Seven days ago, Zheng Gaozhuo, the magistrate of Shanghai, died of illness, and his family was unable to return to the funeral......"

Qian Yuan licked his lips, thirty acres of land, it's really a light fortune and righteousness!

"You're the Qian family?" Gu Dingfang pointed at Qian Yuan and said loudly: "Don't come here yet, let the old man take a good look." ”

Look? What to see?

Qian Yuan, who was confused, walked behind He Liangjun, and before he could stand firmly, Gu Dingfang frowned and said, "I heard that you had a fight with the Xu family on the street of Suzhou?" ”

He Liangjun's face changed and he was about to explain, Gu Dingfang waved his hand, "Let this kid say it himself." ”

"It's the junior Meng Lang." Qian Yuan smiled bitterly and saluted, scolded in his heart, and once again took the blame for his predecessor!

"Meng Lang? Young people should have this kind of sharpness, and it is a woman's work to move their mouths. Gu Dingfang snorted, "But what the old man is not satisfied with is that you were actually beaten down and in a coma for a few days!" ”

Qian Yuan's cheeks puffed out, especially if your ancestral home is from the Northeast, don't beep if you can do it?

He Liangjun on the side was also wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.

"But if you dare to do it with the Xu family, it's still in line with the old man's wishes, come in." Gu Dingfang turned around and walked towards the hall, "Your uncle must not have reprimanded you for this, right?"

"Well, it doesn't look like so." Qian Yuan blinked, and his uncle really didn't mention it in a few letters.

"Hehe, your uncle has never had anything to do with the Xu family, and he has long been unhappy with the Xu family!" Gu Dingfang laughed and said: "I have heard that the Xu family is rampant and domineering in Songjiang, but unfortunately Huating does not have this momentum in the court!" ”

He Liangjun, who was walking inside, hadn't heard anything yet, but Qian Yuan's footsteps slowed down, his pupils shrank, and it seemed that something was not quite right.
