Chapter VII Introduction

Xiao Yunchao's mansion is now a little more prosperous than before, and since he has added the title of a scholar of Tiren Pavilion, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is calling for wind and rain in the court. There was an endless stream of people who came to ask for errands or set friendships, and there was already a long line of sedan chairs outside the door, not to mention the servants who followed the master. The court officials all know that Prime Minister Hai Guanyu is already old, and his son Hai Congrui is not a person who is enthusiastic about his career, so the Hai family may not be able to continue the grand occasion that has been dominating the phase for several generations.

Xiao Yunchao and He Furong are both from famous families, and there is a lady in the palace to support them, compared to He Furong, who is close to the age of sixties, there is no doubt that Xiao Yunchao has greater hope of becoming prime minister. After all, Concubine Yu Xiao Lianyi was deeply favored by the emperor, and she was seventy percent sure of the middle palace, and He Xueming had only been in the palace for a short time, and she had not yet had children, so she couldn't help but suffer a lot. He Furong is also a courtier who has been convicted, and compared with Xiao Yunchao, who has always been honored, it is inevitable that he will be a little inferior.

Although the Holy Grace is good, Xiao Yunchao can't help but feel numb every time he sees the long line of people at the door of his house. Over time, he also developed the habit of going through the side door. However, the people who tend to be attached to the flames will never forget to take advantage of the loopholes, and they actually keep an eye on this important minister's every move, as long as the official sedan chair lands, the people who come forward to ask for a good sale have never stopped. Xiao Yunchao doesn't have He Furong's ability to change without being surprised, he can ascend to such a high position, the operation of the sister in the harem accounts for a lot of weight, and the errands of the officials are mostly handled by two almost confidants.

If you talk about real talent, this No. 1 favorite of Tianzi is only a middle-aged person at most, and it is rare to be able to mix a three-grade person, and it is vain to talk about the best master. If it weren't for Concubine Yu's precautions and a group of shrewd and capable staff for this brother in advance, Xiao Yunchao would not have been able to cope with Yuru.

"My lord, just now my subordinates heard that the fourth son of He Mansion ran away from home." Nian Jiacheng, a staff member of the Xiao Mansion, reported respectfully, and didn't seem to see Xiao Yunchao's unhappy face. He has been here for a long time, and he is also familiar with his master's temper, if it weren't for Concubine Yu sending people to reward and comfort from time to time, he really suspected that there were still a few people who would stay.

"Jiacheng, didn't this official say that you can handle this little matter by yourself, and you don't need to ask for advice on everything." Xiao Yunchao replied impatiently, and the tea lid in his hand also made a loud noise on the tea cup, "You are all people valued by Niangniang, and you naturally have to notify the official of something extraordinary, and the rest will be discussed and handled." "He is a very important person, so even in the palace, the staff are people who have been with each other for a long time, but they still speak with an official tone.

Nian Jiacheng knew that it was useless to continue, so he gave a salute and turned to leave. Xiao Yunchao snorted coldly, extremely annoyed in his heart. For these pretentious staff, he really has the heart to hang them, and he can put any trivial matter on the table for analysis, and his sister also treats them as treasures, I don't know what to do. The fourth son of Hefu is missing? It's really a joke, does he have to keep an eye on even an insignificant figure in He Furong's mansion all the time?

"What do you say?" As soon as Nian Jiacheng returned to the study, an older staff member asked, but he had a smile on his face, obviously guessing the result.

"Lao Mu, you don't have to joke about Xiao Nian, looking at his face, he must have touched a nail just now." Another middle-aged man interjected, but his eyes glanced at Nian Jiacheng's face, "But I also admire Xiao Nian's perseverance, it is really courageous to be able to trouble our adult with these 'trivial' things." He deliberately accentuated the tone of the words "trivial".

The rest of the people couldn't help but look at each other, among these staff, Nian Jiacheng has the least qualifications, but in terms of talent, he is first-class, so everyone respects him. It's a pity that although he can see and know, he can't observe words and feelings, and he always bothers Xiao Yunchao because of "trivial things", so he is not valued by the master. On the contrary, after reading a few of his Chen, Yu Guifei Xiao was quite appreciative, and every festival, the reward for him was always richer than that of others. Under Nian Jiacheng's gratitude, he is more attentive to things, and everyone often laughs at him in their eyes.

Nian Jiacheng just smiled, and then asked others what they thought about it. After the old Mu pondered for a long time, he cautiously spoke: "The fourth son of the He family only came back from Gansu a few years ago, and it is estimated that he hated his father so much, and it is reasonable to run away from home. However, he was originally a gentleman, and he had no ability to make a living, so he must not be away for a long time, and he would have to go back to beg for help then. ”

Nian Jiacheng's eyes flashed strangely, obviously a little moved, "In that case, why don't we help him?" He Furong does not attach much importance to this son, if he is lured by heavy profits, He Molin may be able to become a good chess piece in the future. ”

Everyone was stunned, looking at each other for a long time before they burst into laughter. "Xiao Nian, no wonder everyone says that you do things unscrupulously, and let your son deal with Lao Tzu, you can figure it out. But if you think about it, it's really feasible, but you have to do it without leaving a trace, otherwise it will be suspicious. The middle-aged staff gently patted Nian Jiacheng's shoulder and praised it, "I'll tell someone to do this later, but the future disposal must be considered in the long run." He lowered his voice slightly, and everyone approached, and in a moment a knowing smile appeared.

Zuo Jinhuan also did what he said, and sure enough, he broke off his friendship with the few friends around him, and moved to an inn quite close to the palace of Qinjun County alone, and visited the palace from time to time. Feng Wuxian ordered Fan Qingcheng early, so this son's brother almost never encountered obstacles in and out, which made him flattered, and the respectful appearance of every meeting also made Feng Wuxian secretly amused.

But after all, Zuo Jinhuan was a person who entered Beijing to take the exam, and it was not appropriate to wander around the palace all the time, so Feng Wuxian weighed it again and again, and decided to bring this young man who looked arrogant and domineering, but was actually quite satisfactory, to Haiguanyu Mansion. Being able to see the prime minister who leaned towards the government and the opposition, Zuo Jinhuan was extremely excited, and even forgot the honorifics between his words.

How could Haiguanyu not know the mind of his son-in-law, so he didn't care about Zuo Jinhuan's misdemeanor, but praised him with two words of relief, which made the young master who had always been regarded as a flood beast by others very happy. After sitting for a while, Feng Wuxian resigned, and took Zuo Jinhuan straight to visit his father-in-law and teacher, Hai Congrui.

In his opinion, although Zuo Fanchen is the backbone of the He camp, he is extremely tactful, and according to Zuo Jinhuan, his family is a single heirloom of three generations, so his son's future is more important than anything else. Hai Congrui is a learned Confucian, as long as he teaches the scriptures, it will be easy to win a second-class or more fame at that time. Even if it is not good, it can make the examiner look at it differently with the name of the Hai family, after all, the imperial examination has always been the most important errand on the third brother's side, and neither the He family nor the Xiao family can do it very much.

"Your Highness, you want to take me to meet that Haida...... Mr. Hai? Zuo Jinhuan originally wanted to say that Hai Dagongzi, but later felt that he was not very respectful, so he immediately changed his name.

"That's right, aren't you going to take the test? The teacher's classic kung fu is well-known in the court and the opposition, although he is much younger than those old Confucian students, but his knowledge is much stronger than theirs. Being able to get his guidance is a blessing that you have cultivated in several lifetimes. Besides......" Wind Traceless said with a smile. Seeing that the surprise on Zuo Jinhuan's face was getting stronger and stronger, he kept silent as if he was selling it, and the young man next to him was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.

"Okay, let's go in, the teacher is studying the classics here every day." Feng Wuxian brought Zuo Jinhuan to an elegant small building, and then stopped, "Ordinary teachers rarely receive them, and today this king made an exception to bring you here, but he has a lot to do with it." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your support!" Zuo Jinhuan slammed to the ground, his expression was extremely grateful, "Since I was a child, no one has been so attentive to my future, if it weren't for His Highness's teaching this time, I would have already fallen astray." When my father enters Beijing another day, I will definitely invite him to come to the door to thank him! Although Zuo Jinhuan is sometimes confused, he is not stupid, this prince has done such a great favor, he thought about it, and finally decided that people were looking at his father's face.

"This king helped you, but that time I saw that you were interesting, and I still fell in love with your words, so I brought you here. Whether you can vote for the teacher's fate or not depends on you. "If you say thank you, you don't have to, your father is a local magistrate, and his position is different from that of this king, if he comes to thank him, it will not be a taste in the eyes of others, if you are smart, don't mention it to him." ”

Feng Wuxi's earnest words immediately dispelled the only remaining suspicion of Zuo Jinhuan, and his favor towards this highness suddenly increased to ten points. "In this case, if I can be named on the gold list, I will personally come to the door to thank you. I don't care about my father's position, but he can't interfere in my own affairs. Your Highness did not dislike my original nonsense, but repeatedly persuaded me with good words and helped, if I did not appreciate it, wouldn't I be as grateful as a beast? After all, he is a person who has not been involved in the sinister world, and he has long regarded Feng Wuxian as a confidant, and his words are sincere, which makes Feng Wuxian feel uneasy.

Hai Congrui saw the wind without a trace and brought the stranger in, although he was surprised, his face was still the same. After hearing what happened, he was overjoyed, and without saying anything, he left Zuo Jinhuan behind and drove his son-in-law out alive or dead. According to Hai Congrui's words, the son-in-law has already been out of school, so naturally there is no need to waste his time. But Feng Wuxian understood what the teacher meant, it was nothing more than that he thought too much and was not a good student.

Standing outside the small building, Feng Wuxian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and it was up to Zuo Jinhuan to see if he was angry. finally pulled him over, as long as he can be named on the gold list, he can try to find a good official position for him, and then the father and son will be officials in the same dynasty, Zuo Fanchen has the heart to do right and has to think about his son's future, if he can also pull him into his own camp, it would be better.
