Chapter 227: Passing Earlier
Chapter 227 passed earlier
Not only did the shopkeeper wonder, but even Zhou Ning himself felt a little incredible this time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoHe only arrived in the capital after noon yesterday, and before noon today, so many people came to look for him, what is the situation?
Is Zhou Ning so eye-catching? Everyone knows that he has come to the capital? Besides, Zhou Ning doesn't have many acquaintances in the capital, what's wrong today?
"Let him come up." Zhou Ning was really in no mood to go downstairs, and was forced to go downstairs in the morning to provoke a lot of idleness with the little errand officer of the ministry. I just went downstairs to see off Lin Ying, and I was sad again.
"Okay, I'll go and call him, Childe, you wait." The shopkeeper bowed lightly and hurriedly went downstairs.
The most amiable and polite profession in the world is probably the shopkeeper, who respects everyone and says 'master', no matter who enters the door, it is 'guest master'.
The shopkeeper always has a professional smile on his face, and talking to anyone makes people feel as comfortable as a spring breeze.
Zhou Ning's door was not closed, he returned to the table and sat on the chair that Lin Ying had just sat on, and picked up the tea cup she had just held.
An ordinary teacup looked so delicate when she took it, Zhou Ning turned the teacup back and forth in the palm of her hand as if she was looking at some strange knick-knack.
After a while, there was a gurgling sound going upstairs, Zhou Ning put down the teacup and looked up at the door. The shopkeeper was in front, and the person who came was behind, and Zhou Ning only saw the shopkeeper.
"Master Zhou, this guest is looking for you." The shopkeeper stretched out his hand to the man, and the man walked to the door and glanced inside.
"This is Gongzi Zhou, please." As soon as the shopkeeper stretched out his hand into the house, the man stepped into the room, and the shopkeeper went downstairs.
Zhou Ning stood up and took two steps towards the door, the person who came was very unfamiliar, Zhou Ning was sure that he had never seen this person.
"It's Zhou Ning down there, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" Zhou Ning maintained a humble and courteous scholarly demeanor, with a clean and handsome style from head to foot.
The man looked Zhou Ning up and down, and said, "Lord Zhou is really handsome and elegant, and his appearance is extraordinary. ”
Who is this? Don't talk about introducing yourself, just praise Zhou Ning for being good.
Zhou Ning's appearance is indeed outstanding, this aspect is natural, he looks very much like his mother, his mother was a famous beauty back then.
On the other hand, the temperament of a person is cultivated, he was born in the family of the eunuch, and has been immersed in the Four Books and Five Classics since he was enlightened at the age of four.
People who understand etiquette and poetry naturally give people an indescribable sense of elegance, which is called having poetry and books in their stomachs.
Zhou Ning has always been very confident in his appearance, but it is always a comfort to be praised by others, he smiled and said modestly: "Your Excellency has complimented you." ”
Zhou Ning pointed to the chair next to the table: "Please take a seat." ”
No matter what happens, you have to sit down first, and the man sat down slowly and said politely: "Thank you." ”
This time, without waiting for Zhou Ning to ask, he spoke by himself: "My surname is Ji, and now I am listening to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Prime Minister ordered me to send an invitation to Lord Zhou." ”
As he spoke, the man took out a big red invitation from his arms and gently put it on the table, Zhou Ning didn't even need to look at it to know what was going on.
First, Lin Ying mentioned to him that tomorrow was Xiangye's birthday, and then he received an invitation from Qin Jin, which was not surprising.
The strange thing is that Xiangye actually sent someone to send him an invitation, which really made Zhou Ning a little unbelievable.
How did the first Xiangye know that he had come to the capital, and secondly, he had only been to the Xiangfu once, and he was just an apprentice who went through the situation, why did Xiangye remember him? Third, what capital does he have so that Xiangye can personally send someone to send him an invitation, which is too much face.
Thousands of questions, Zhou Ning can only press. In his heart, he took the invitation and slowly unfolded it, and sure enough, what he said was the birthday celebration of the Prime Minister tomorrow.
He smiled when he saw it, and said very happily: "It turns out that tomorrow is a good day for Xiangye, and he should congratulate him, and he should congratulate him." ”
Zhou Ning really couldn't find any reason not to go, Xiangye sent him an invitation, if he didn't go, it would be impossible for him to get along with himself.
Whether you are an official or a person, you have to cherish the face that others give you, and you don't want to give you face, so do you still have friends in the future?
It's not just that I don't have friends, I'm afraid I don't even have a road. Although Zhou Ning didn't have the heart to stammer, he didn't want to offend the people of the Prime Minister's house.
Xiangye is different from Yun Wangye, Yun Wang has no power in the court, he is just an idle person, and he can't participate in the political affairs of the court.
Xiangye is a person who really holds real power, who doesn't know that the Lin family occupies half of the world in the Dajing Dynasty? Lin Mingde is known as an honest and honest person, and he is an optimus prime of the Dajing Dynasty.
Which of the civil and military officials doesn't want to make friends with the Prime Minister? The benefits speak for themselves. The work that any yamen is responsible for is only one aspect, except for the emperor, only the prime minister can manage everything.
That is to say, as long as you are an official of the Dajing Dynasty, you have a place where you can use the prime minister, no matter what position you are in, the prime minister can control you, on the one hand, he can control your promotion, reward and punishment, on the other hand, he can also protect you.
Those who want to be promoted, those who want to escape responsibility, and even those who just want to protect themselves in peace and security, everyone has to find a way to go through the path of the prime minister.
In the triennial scientific examination, Lin Mingde is the chief examiner of the iron fight, and all the jinshi in the world have to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to apprentice, although it is just a formality, but it is also destined to become Lin Mingde's protégé.
If you want to say that the exception is only Sanding Jia, who is a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and the rest are all in the hands of the prime minister. Zhou Ning ranked first in the imperial list of high school, but he had to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to apprentice.
Others dreamed of going to the Prime Minister's Mansion to apprentice, but when Zhou Ning went, he was full of bitterness. It is precisely because of this that Zhou Ning has not been enthusiastic about entering the Prime Minister's Mansion until now.
If he had a choice, he really didn't want to go, and as soon as he approached the Prime Minister's Mansion, he could remember the past. I don't know if his belly is too small, or if the loss of the champion hit him too hard, in short, this shadow lingers in his heart.
"Lord Zhou, I have to go over early tomorrow, so I won't disturb the adults to rest." The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion stood up as they spoke, and they came to deliver invitations, and if you gave a word and promised to go over, they would have nothing else to do.
"Why don't you sit for a while?" Zhou Ning also stood up as he spoke: "Mr. Ji, dare to ask if there is anything to avoid tomorrow?" ”
The surnamed Ji glanced at Zhou Ning lightly, you kid is quite cautious, you know that there are any special rules in the Prime Minister's Mansion first.
"It's nothing, tomorrow is to congratulate Xiangye on his birthday, you just go over early, if it's inconvenient, I can send a sedan chair to pick you up."
