In the room, the tall and thin middle-aged scribe was anxiously going back and forth in the room, but there was nothing to think about. He regretted that after receiving the holy decree, he should not have rushed to bring his family members with him, and if he had taken office on his own bicycle, his life would not have been so embarrassing.

However, in the prosperous place of Nanjing, the expenses are very large, and he has no other income from Qingshui Hanlin, so his life is very difficult.

Originally, he was barely making a living in Nanjing, and if he entered Beijing, the small family who stayed in Nanjing might really starve. But up to now, although he has worked as a repairer in the Jingshi Hanlin Academy, his salary is still very meager, and he can't even afford to rent a house, so he has to live in the Huitong Hall temporarily. Because it was a nightstay, and there was a lack of money to dredge up and down, even a small errand man dared to embarrass him.

If it's just a little bit of hard life for yourself, it's nothing. But he was the son he had when he was thirty-four years old, and he loved him more than his own life. But because of the fatigue of the boat, the water and soil are not adapted, and he can't afford to get sick. At the moment, even asking a man to grab medicine is a luxury, just if you want to get some hot water, it is not easy.

He once read the books of the sages and believed that there was a golden house in the books, but in the face of the facts, no matter how firm his beliefs were, they would inevitably be shaken. Maybe only the real golden house can be relied on?

But now, even if he really wants a golden house, someone has to be willing to give it, just when he was hesitating, a hearty laugh suddenly came, "But the middle brother, it has always been good, the little brother is polite." ”

"You are?" At the beginning, Yan Song did not recognize the identity of the person, especially the other party was not wearing an official uniform, but the dress of a rich and noble son, which made him not know the identity of the person who came. It wasn't until Yang Chengzu mentioned the past of Huaxian County that he suddenly realized who the person in front of him was.

Although this is an era of closed news, people who are officials are always more well-informed than ordinary people, and working hard in the officialdom is more clear-eyed, which is the basic condition. Yan Song is actually no stranger to the name Yang Chengzu, and he also knows very well that he was able to be transferred from the Leng Yamen in Nanjing to the Hanlin Academy in Beijing, which is also the result of the efforts of this old man in Huaxian County.

If it weren't for the fact that he really didn't have any money in hand, he would definitely prepare a gift to visit the Dengshikou to enhance their friendship. When the mountains and rivers were exhausted, he also thought about asking the old man for help, and the reunion here and now made him forget about the difference between civil and military, and what distinction between high and low.

No matter what kind of military minister or eagle dog, as long as he can bring himself a good life and save his son, he is his own lucky star.

"Shifan's nephew, is this unwell? This can't be delayed, the climate in Jingshi has not been very good recently, people will inevitably suffer from epidemics, and children's bodies are important. The younger brother arranged for someone to invite Langzhong. But the middle brother sit down, these things have their own people to do, don't work let's go, brother, I will call a table of banquets, we have something to talk about. ”

In fact, in this place, the ambassador with the biggest official position is a Jiupin, and the authority on the dispatch is also pitiful. When you leave the guild hall, you can't manage anything, and when it comes to power, it's far worse than Jinyiwei.

Although he couldn't figure out Yang Chengzu's identity, he could throw out the famous thorn of Zhu Ti in brocade clothes casually, and it was definitely not something he could provoke. From top to bottom, the service was particularly attentive, and a few limited errands were also arranged to serve here, and the hall was full of complaints and scolding.

The two pediatric saints of the Beijing Normal School were forcibly invited over, diagnosed Yan Shifan's pulse, and prescribed another prescription. Yan Song only glanced at the price of the medicine, and felt dizzy and tinnitus, the price of the three or five flavored medicinal materials in it was enough to cover his salary for half a year. It was Yang Chengzu who donated the money and successfully grabbed the medicine.

The restaurant sent a first-class banquet, and Daming was already popular to eat group banquets at this time, but there was no pain in the meal. The daughters of the Yan family also came to visit Yang Chengzu, especially Yan Song's wife Ouyang, and she was even more grateful to the benefactor who saved her son.

When a few women retreated, Yang Chengzu casually touched more than a dozen gold leaves and came out, "It's about fifty taels of gold here, Brother Yan, and keep the flowers." If you don't have enough money, you can go to my house at the entrance of the lamp market to get it. When you first arrived in Beijing, you don't have a house yet, I'll go back and help you find one, and if you don't succeed, you will also move to Dengshikou, and I still live in my house. The capital has a lot of expenses, and it is not required to save money, if you are not broad-handed, you will be looked down upon by the people below. ”

Yan Song didn't show any expression on his face, he didn't move much wine and food, and seeing that those servants had also retreated, he didn't care about the hot weather, carefully closed the door and window, returned to his seat, and said softly: "Brother Yang, there is no talent in the middle, and it is the wrong love of the Son of Heaven to cultivate for Hanlin." There is no achievement in Nanjing, this time the new monarch ascended the throne, and he was specially transferred back to Beijing from Nanjing, I am afraid that it is also the recommendation of the world brother, right? ”

"Well, Brother Yan doesn't have to be humble, your talent is real, especially that calligraphy, which is even more amazing. I once showed the things you wrote to the Heavenly Family, and the Heavenly Family didn't have the mouth to praise it, and promoted Brother Yan to the Hanlin Academy, which is also what it means, don't think too much. ”

"Brother Shi is too humble, although Yan is not a smart person, he is not confused. If you talk about calligraphy, there may be Xiaocheng, but if you say that with just a few strokes, you can be favored by the Son of Heaven, Yan doesn't believe it. ”

He looked outside the door, and his voice lowered a few points, "Yan is just the second Jinshi in the second class in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, no matter how talented he is, he can't be called outstanding." The owner is just a loyal heart, if the Son of Heaven sends him, Yan will be broken and will not give up. ”

Yang Chengzu smiled and scratched the chestnut chicken in front of him with chopsticks, "Brother Yan, eat vegetables." When the meeting is finished, the eldest nephew's medicine is also boiled, let's feed the medicine first and see the body of the nephew of the world. ”

"Brother Yang is polite, as a minister, he only knows that there is a king, but he doesn't know that he has a body. How can children's trivial matters be compared with state affairs, if it is really long live and there is a sending, even if it is to take the life of a puppy, Yan will not hesitate to do it. ”

In Yan Song's gaze, two flames called ambition radiated light, and it could be seen that this Jinshi, who had wasted his good years on the cold bench of Qingshui Yamen, was obviously not willing to be lonely. At present, the new monarch ascends the throne, which is an opportunity for major changes to take place in personnel, and he is eager to seize this opportunity to allow himself to soar and get a match for his talents.

"Brother Yan, long live over there, there is actually nothing to send you. Inside and outside the court, there are countless virtuous ministers, Brother Yan is just a Hanlin, long live what can be used for you. But I have something here, I want to discuss with you, the Queen Mother's entry into Beijing, and the dedication of the king's honorable title for Xingxing, did Brother Yan know? ”

A moment later, a pair of bamboo chopsticks fell to the ground, and Yan Song bowed with a blank face, begging to let him go back. He now regrets a little that he just said too much.
