The Tang people's emphasis on contract promises is still so stubborn, Lao Yuan is a housekeeper, so Xiao Yuan did not hesitate to lose the identity of the shopkeeper and patriarch, and returned to the Lin Mansion to be a housekeeper, preparing to make this position that is not very profitable hereditary for his family.

Xiao Yuan took over the position of housekeeper, and Lao Li, who had already been on crutches, resigned from the position of housekeeper and sent his own son over.

Xiao Yuan Xiao Li was in the prime of life, so he was extra attentive to things.

Since handing over the position of the head of the family to Leng Jing and being promoted to the king of leisure, there have been fewer and fewer people who have come to pay Leng Feng's New Year's greetings. Although he hasn't grown gray hair yet, Leng Feng has been sent to the top level by many people.

Many times, the difference in status by one or two levels will not hinder the exchange of gifts, but when one party needs to look up, the giver has to weigh whether he is qualified or not.

Tang Jin visited the door as in previous years, although he is no longer a secretary of the military department, just an idle general of the Zhenguo, and only has the title of a marquis, but in the court, he is a figure like the top door bar of the military, and his status is not low.

But these are all useless, Tang Jin feels that even if he is just a cloth cloth, he can come to Mr. Wang's house to eat and drink.

Soon after Tang Jin arrived, Wang Xuance also came, he is now serving in Zhongshu Province, and after Di Renjie officially served as Pingtong Zhangshi, that is, the prime minister, with his help, he will soon be able to gain a firm foothold.

The official position belongs to the official position, since it is a student who comes to visit Mr. Lily, he naturally can't call him "General Zhenguo" with his mouth closed, so he doesn't need to be surprised to see Wang Xuance directly calling Tang Jin Hongle without hesitation.

"Okay, you are all serving in the court now, contributing to the continued prosperity of our Datang, and Mr. Dang is naturally happy for you. The two of you remember that when you went to the literary academy to pay respects to those old gentlemen, you should brag to them about your political achievements, which is more than burning incense and paper to pay tribute to the deceased. ”

Tang Jin said with a smile: "That's natural, now the cemetery of the Academy of Literature has set up rules, and students who go to worship must get enough grades to enter." The two of us thought that we were not in vain, so we naturally wanted to pass. ”

Leng Feng knew about the establishment of this threshold in the cemetery, and when several old gentlemen died, they refused to return to their ancestral graves, and wanted to watch over the Academy of Literature in the cemetery. The cemetery is not large, but the environment is very elegant, and there is no shortage of plants and trees. This kind of environment will naturally be liked by several veterans. It's just that every year, a group of people go to burn paper, and after causing a mountain fire, a few people probably won't like it. If Izumishita had knowledge, they would have been to death.

The fire was so big that even half of the bamboo forest was burned. Three of the firefighters were burned to death, and countless others were knocked unconscious by the smoke. Thanks to the desperate efforts of these people, the cemetery of the old gentlemen was not affected. However, after the fire broke out in the cemetery, Bai Lin was still angry and dismissed more than a dozen students in a row, these students were all new to school, and going to worship the old gentleman was just to join in the fun, and it was not a sincere worship at all.

After Leng Feng learned about this, he set a rule for the cemetery, if you want to burn paper, you will burn it in a specially prepared place at the bottom of the mountain, and only the sacrificial table or some articles and books are allowed to be burned in the cemetery. On the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Academy, no paper is allowed to be burned, and each student sends a flower to the cemetery.

I have to say that people with high prestige speak to work, no one has any objections to Leng Feng's arrangement, and the matter of paying tribute to the deceased with Yawen is also sought after by the world's scholars, thinking that this is the real way to remember the deceased.

Tang Jin and Wang Xuance knew that Mr. didn't like to listen to the government, so they talked about their own children.

Leng Feng naturally likes to listen to homely words, and unconsciously chatted with them until noon.

As soon as Xiao Yuan was instructed to go down to prepare for the banquet, the porter came to report that Sun Chong, the head of the household department, had come to visit.

"Why is this guy here?"

When Tang Jin heard that the eldest grandson rushed over, he looked unhappy. A few years ago, he wanted to let the army trained in the local area join the local project to relieve the pressure on the people. As for the soldiers' drills, they are all drills on the construction site.

However, this incident was brought back by the eldest grandson Chong on the grounds that the project was complicated and there was no extra money. Moreover, I also learned privately that the reason why Changsun Chong did this was that he thought that it was unseemly for the army to participate in local projects and work side by side with the people.

Is it used to manage a fart?

Wang Xuance saw that Tang Jin's face was not good, so he could only reach out and pull the corner of his clothes, reminding him that this was in his husband's house, and it was not good to have a seizure.

Leng Feng naturally noticed their small movements, smiled slightly and didn't care, and let the concierge let Changsun rush in.

Since the official break with Eldest Sun Wuji, Leng Feng has rarely spoken to Eldest Sun Chong, and even the annual annual rites have disappeared. Before the death of the eldest grandson Wuji, although the eldest grandson Chong "reconciled" with Leng Jing, he did not resume his visit after that.

A student who had almost forgotten to the corner came to visit, and Leng Feng was eager to see what medicine was sold in his gourd. If I'm not mistaken, this guy is here to talk about delegating power to the people.

After a while, Changsun Chong walked into the living room.

Tang Jin and Wang Xuance were here that he didn't expect, so after saluting and getting up, he looked puzzled.

Tang Jin knew about the matter of the eldest grandson Chong, and said with a smile: "Wang Xuance, the two of us will come to Mr.'s mansion every year to pay New Year's greetings, and since the two of us met in the first two years, we have made an appointment to come over together in the past two years." They are all disciples, and they all have the mind of respecting Mr., so they naturally want to come together. ”

Changsun Chong knew that Tang Jin was alluding to himself, but his face was still full of waves, and many years of officialdom were enough to cultivate a hairy boy into an old fritter who was moody.

Coughing lightly, the eldest grandson clenched his fists and said, "King Xiaoyao, no, sir, the disciple has something to tell you alone, I don't know..."

After speaking, Changsun Chong looked at Tang Jin and Wang Xuance, and the intention of letting them leave was obvious.

Tang Jin smiled and didn't plan to get up, while Wang Xuance looked at Leng Feng, planning to listen to Mr. and decide to stay.

Leng Feng pointed to the sofa and motioned to Changsun Chong to sit down, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it, the three of us have been chatting all morning, and we are all very hungry, so let's go to eat after speaking." ”

Changsun Chong knew that it was impossible to leave space for two people to talk today, but he came here today with a mission, and it was not appropriate to leave like this.

After thinking about it for a while, Changsun Chong still spoke: "The disciple came this time just to ask you what you think of the emperor's decree allowing the border counties to elect their own county magistrates?" ”

Sure enough, this is it!
