I have to say that Wu Junyu's personality is very similar to Bai Qichang to some extent, maybe it is because of this that he takes special care of Bai Qichang.

Bai Qichang felt the teaching deeply, and replied with his hand: "The student understands. ”

After the two finished speaking, the honor guard also arrived, and Wu Junyu stepped forward with a smile on his face.

The little eunuch below lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Wu Junyu sat in the carriage, motionless as a mountain, and glanced at Wu Junyu.

Wu Junyu bowed his hand and said: "Wu Junyu, the magistrate of Changzhou County, welcomes Lord Sun to Changzhou." ”

Sun Hong slowly got out of the carriage, stood on the carriage, and said, "Excuse me, it's hard for Lord Wu to work tirelessly, and I've been waiting for our family here for a long time." ”

Wu Junyu smiled and said: "This is the honor of the lower officials, how dare you mention the word hard work?" He smiled and continued: "Xiaguan has already arranged the post house, my lord is tired, let's go to the post house to rest first, and at night, please let Xiaguan be the east and wash the dust for the adult." ”

Sun Hong was even more satisfied, the expression on his face was much more relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Then there is Lord Lao Wu." After speaking, he went back to the carriage, closed his eyes and lowered the curtain of the little eunuch beside him.

Wu Junyu stepped aside, let the carriage go first, and when the team entered the city, a small sedan chair quietly followed at the back of the team.

Bai Qichang stepped forward and asked, "My lord, is there anything that students need to prepare?" ”

Wu Junyu stared at the small sedan chair that was gradually moving away and said, "That's probably where the courtesan is." He came back to his senses and said, "You just have to be an accompaniment, and the rest will depend on the master's arrangement, don't say the wrong thing during the banquet." ”

Bai Qichang said yes, and the brigade returned to the city.

When night falls, the most luxurious restaurant in the city is brightly lit, and the warblers sing and dance are prosperous.

Bai Qichang sat in the banquet with a spring breeze on his face, and got up to pour wine.

Sun Hong said with a smile: "Wu Junyu, your protégé is really a talent, he has a good export, he is full of talent, he is sleek, and his bearing is extraordinary, he is really a natural official." ”

When Wu Junyu heard Sun Hong praise Bai Qichang so much, he couldn't close his mouth with joy, and said with a smile while raising his glass: "The kid still needs to be experienced." ”

Sun Hong also raised his wine glass and said: "As the so-called jade is not cut, it is better to experience it by your side now than to enter the court in the future and be pinched and rounded by those old guys." ”

Wu Junyu nodded and said: "Now the court is divided into several factions, and if you are a little careless and take a wrong step, it will be an abyss." ”

Sun Hong's eyebrows drooped slightly, but he followed his words and said: "After Guo Guogong is gone, I see the rise of the Yan family and his son, and I am afraid that in the near future, it will be the court of the Yan family." ”

As he spoke, Sun Hong slowly placed the wine glass on the table.

Wu Junyu thought for a moment and asked, "Is Old Xia Ge still healthy?" ”

Sun Hong nodded with a smile and said, "Elder Ge is in good health, but his temper is still no different from before, just because of this, people can see the movement of the court in the future!" ”

Bai Qichang hesitated slightly, wanting to ask, but because he hadn't figured out the situation yet, he still kept silent.

It was Sun Hong, who was very open-minded, and asked with a smile: "Bai Gongzi has something to ask, although the official rank is not high, but he is better than serving in the palace all the year round, and he has no ability on the side, but if he talks about the movement of the court, he knows more than ordinary people." ”

Bai Qichang glanced at Wu Junyu, Wu Junyu nodded slightly, signaling that he could ask.

Bai Qichang arched his hand and asked, "I heard that Lord Yan of the Ministry of Rites has entered the Wenyuan Pavilion?" ”

Sun Hong nodded and said with a smile: "At the beginning of the year, Lord Yan worshiped the scholar of Wuyingdian University, entered the Zhiwen Yuan Pavilion, and was still in charge of the Ministry of Rites. ”

He raised his wine glass and drank a glass of himself, looking very yearning, and then said: "Those sour rotten doctors in the capital, running through their doors, almost stepped on the threshold of the Yan Mansion. ”

Bai Qichang then asked: "In this way, Yan Ge Lao is indeed Jian Zai's emperor's heart, but if it is said that the limelight overshadows Xia Ge Lao, it is not necessarily, after all, Xia Ge Lao is a master of Jiatai, a special doctor of Guanglu, and a pillar country." Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been no courtiers and pillars, only the elder of the cabinet. Although Yan Ge Lao entered the Wenyuan Pavilion, in the end it was the cabinet department, and the Ming Cabinet still had the first assistant and the second assistant to be in charge. ”

Sun Hong smiled, looked at Wu Junyu, and said, "Your protégé knows very little about the affairs of the court, and you help him analyze and analyze?" ”

Wu Junyu pursed his lips and said: "At the end of last year, Xia Ge Lao was dismissed, Qu Luan Qu Ge Lao was the first assistant, Yan Ge Lao entered the cabinet, in the past, Qu Ge Lao and Xia Ge Lao had the same political views, but Yan Ge Lao and Xia Ge Lao were not in harmony with each other, at this time Xia Ge Lao was not in Beijing, Yan Ge Lao regarded Qu Ge Lao as a nail in his eye, Qu Ge Lao knew that he couldn't deal with it, so he had to try his best to say through Xia Ge Lao, Xia Ge Lao admitted his mistake several times, and His Majesty recalled him. ”

Bai Qichang nodded, it seems that Qu Luan is not Yan Song's opponent at all.

Sun Hong said with a smile: "Qu Ge is old, he is old, it is not certain whether he will be able to return to his hometown with the honor of a cabinet minister." He paused slightly, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Speaking of protégés, it reminds me of a person." ”

Wu Junyu smiled and asked, "Who has this honor to let Master Sun remember it so much?" ”

Sun Hong said: "It's a guest under the old Xia Ge, named Yang Quye, this person is very extraordinary, if he doesn't help, the old Xia Ge can't be easily recalled this time." ”

Wu Junyu said with a smile: "My dynasty is really prosperous, and there are many capable people. ”

Sun Hong smiled and said, "That's it, it's easy to get out of Beijing and come to this prosperous place, not to mention the chaos in Beijing." By the way, this time you helped the official with the idea, let me collect a large amount of tax money in Suzhou, and the official has not yet thanked me. ”

Wu Junyu hurriedly pushed his hand and said, "The lower officials don't dare, assisting the tax supervision hall to collect tax silver is what the magistrate should do, and the lord is too polite." ”

Sun Hong smiled and asked, "Well, what about the tax silver in Changzhou?" ”

Wu Junyu smiled and said: "Don't dare to bother the adults to do it, the lower official has already received sixty percent, and he will allow the lower official for a few more days, and he will serve it with both hands." ”

Sun Hong is really happy, he really likes Wu Junyu, he knows how to advance and retreat, knows how to be polite, and is sleek, so that people can't find any mistakes.

He nodded, "Very good." ”

Wu Junyu hurriedly gave the master on the side a look, the master got up and went out, and after a while, more than a dozen dancing girls walked in gorgeous costumes.

The piano and music are harmonious, the warbler sings and dances, it is so prosperous.

Sun Hong watched the song and dance with satisfaction, and clinked glasses with Wu Junyu to drink.

Bai Qi was often overwhelmed by the extravagance in front of him, he lowered his head and looked at his white clothes, which looked a little yellowish under the reflection of the lights, and even the folding fan in his hand looked very old.

"Qichang, still don't pour wine?" Wu Junyu's voice sounded.

Bai Qichang got up with a smile and picked up the wine jug: "Lord Sun, please, Lord Wu, please." ”
