said that Lin Feng came to invite guests, Xu Jin and Liang Wenzhen both refused, Lin Feng thought of the past, and was not angry. Xu Jin was unhappy because of Lin Feng's arrival, and he didn't want to stay in Tokyo for more, and wanted to go back to Yanggu, Shandong. During the trip, Xu Jin asked about business and told Liang Wenzhen to look for Xu Miaoyin with his heart. After returning from the send-off, Liang Wenzhen sorted out his belongings, saw the letter of recommendation from the Dongming County Order to Cai Jing, and decided to visit Taishi Cai Jing.

Liang Wenzhen had already made up his mind to visit the imperial master, but he was worried about who to take with him. is usually accompanied by Xu Fan, but Xu Fan is lively by nature, simple and reckless, and it is really inappropriate for such occasions. After thinking about it, I felt that Cai Yan was scholarly, gentle and elegant, steady and polite, and it was most appropriate to take him on this trip.

Because he carefully packaged a glass ornament that he selected when he went on the road, he went to Cai Jing's mansion with Cai Yan.

I inquired all the way to the gate of Cai's mansion, and saw that the mansion was really worthy of the mansion of the ministers, and it was so magnificent and magnificent, which was not comparable to ordinary rich and noble families. Liang Wenzhen and Cai Yan looked around outside the door, very impressed.

A man who looked like a family member stepped forward and said disdainfully, "What are you doing?" Here sneaky, carefully to eat fists. Liang Wenzhen listened, laughed instead of anger, and said: "In Xia Liang Wenzhen, from overseas, has taken root in Yanggu. Because of business, I got a letter from a friend and came to visit Mrs. Cai. As he spoke, he gave the letter to the man.

The man looked at the letter, then at Liang Wenzhen and Cai Yan, his face was expressionless, and he went in with the letter. There is a way to be a dog fighting people, and Liang Wen really understands it. is just a family member, relying on the master's power, and he is so arrogant, Liang Wenzhen feels contempt from the bottom of his heart.

After waiting for a while, the family Ding smiled and passed Liang Wenzhen and the two in, and took the initiative to talk along the way. Liang Wenzhen said a few words to him lightly, and unconsciously arrived in the hall.

High thresholds, carved doors and windows, green tiles and flying rings, solemn and magnificent. From afar, I saw an old man, dressed in brocade clothes and with a white beard. The furnishings in the room are simple and elegant, and the calligraphy and paintings are all high-quality products, and each piece is extraordinary.

Liang Wenzhen entered the door, handed the gift to the family, stepped forward to pay respects, and said, "Liang Wenzhen of Yanggu, Shandong, see Taishi." Cai Yan also said goodbye, he was not as comfortable as Liang Wenzhen, and he always felt a little uncomfortable.

"No courtesy, no courtesy." Cai Jingdao. Low and slow, full of energy, he really deserves to be a powerful minister, and when he speaks, he is lucky and powerful. Liang Wenzhen said to Cai Yan: "Thank you, Taishi." "Stand up and be respectful.

Cai Jing looked at the visitors, and saw that the people who came were very popular and graceful, and even the entourage was polite and dignified, so he couldn't help but nod and said, "Come on, give me a seat." With a "whoo", I saw that the family moved their seats. Liang Wenzhen thanked Cai Yan, and after Cai Jing's signal, he sat down. Cai Jing said: "Sit down a little, come over a little." ”

The family hurriedly stepped forward to help move the stool, and the two sat in front of Cai Jing, and Liang Wenzhen couldn't help but have some wandering eyes. Seeing such a big official for the first time, he was always a little nervous, but Liang Wenzhen smiled lightly and remained silent. Cai Yan was already blushing, lowered his head and didn't dare to look forward.

"You are Liang Wenzhen?" Cai Jing asked. Liang Wenzhen nodded and said, "It's exactly below." Cai Jing smiled lightly and said, "Sure enough, he is a young talent, both wise and brave." What is the name of this little brother next to you, and who is you? "If you go back to Taishi, this little brother has the same surname as Taishi, and his single name is Yanzi, and he is my assistant." Liang Wenzhen had already eliminated his tension and spoke naturally and gently. "Oh," Cai Jing felt that Cai Yan was handsome and lovely, not like an ordinary teenager, and when he heard that he had the same surname, he couldn't help but ask, "That little brother, where are you from and where are you from?" ”

"Yu Taishi, the small one now lives in Qinghe, his ancestral home is Xinghua Xianyou, and he lives in Qinghe, Shandong Province for making a living." When Cai Yan said, he didn't dare to raise his head, but he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he had his own bearing. "Oh," Cai Jing suddenly became interested when he heard this, and said with a smile, "I am actually a fellow villager with this official." ”

Cai Yan suddenly became less restrained. After the conversation between the two sides, Fang knew that he was from the same sect, and when it came to seniority, he should have just come out of the five suits, not far apart. Cai Jingquan leaned towards the government and the opposition, and naturally disdained to recognize relatives with such poor people, but he had to add three points of affection to Cai Yan. After talking for a while, Cai Jing was also tired, yawned, and said, "There is a banquet in the house today, you can stay here and drink the banquet together." The officer was a little sleepy and went to rest. ”

The two hurriedly thanked him, Cai Jing got up, ordered the family to entertain him, and went by himself. Liang Wenzhen and Cai Yan were arranged in a side room, each took some books to pass the time, and waited for the dinner.

I don't know how long it took, Jia Ding came to invite, Liang Wenzhen and Cai Yan were a little nervous, and full of expectations, and followed Jia Ding all the way to the hall. The square low table is surrounded on all sides, and people who look like officials in brocade clothes are seated, one person and one table, and they are in the air, and their eyes are indicating; I saw a young talent with a paper fan, sitting at a table in the middle on the right, and leisurely drinking tea. The jasper fruit plate on the table, the fresh fruits, the purple sand teapot and the purple sand cup, are simple and elegant.

When Liang Wenzhen looked fixedly, he saw that the young man was Lin Feng. I was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was a matter of course. Lin Feng is naturally intelligent, dignified, well-versed in human feelings, and full of sophistication, so he is naturally comfortable in this officialdom. Lin Feng's career is Lin Feng's own business, but for some reason, Liang Wenzhen faintly felt a little uneasy. In fact, Liang Wenzhen didn't know that the main examiner of this autumn's examination was Cai Jing, and Lin Feng was a protégé of Master Cai.

While thinking, Liang Wenzhen and Cai Yan had already arrived at the front of the seat and both took their seats. Two people at the same table. Everyone cast strange eyes, Liang Wenzhen felt a little uncomfortable, Cai Yan blushed even more, lowered his head, just stared at the furnishings on the table, did not dare to move at will, and lost his manners. Since he saw Lin Feng, it seemed too much not to say hello. Liang Wenzhen walked to the opposite side, stepped forward and waved to Lin Feng, and said, "I didn't expect Brother Lin to be here, fortunately." Lin Feng returned the salute and said a word or two.

Everyone sat down, and the family informed Cai Jing to take a seat. Cai Jing was supported by the Yahuan family, and came with a smile: "Today, everyone appreciates the face, the old man is very honored." Hahahaha. ”

The crowd immediately stood up and greeted each other. After some politeness, everyone sat down.

"Recently, Dongming County came to report that there was a unsolved case of human life in the county, thanks to a strange person, smart and witty, quite literate, and cracked the clues of the unsolved case. He also worked tirelessly to assist in the investigation. Anyway, this person has already arrived in Tokyo, and I wonder what you think about it. Ke Qian, the central attendant, said.

When Liang Wenzhen heard it, he seemed to be talking about himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but he couldn't help but feel a little proud. Seeing Cai Jing smiling and silent, he just looked at himself, and couldn't help but feel empty.

"I think this man is just a scholar, who happens to guess the puzzle correctly, and is brave enough to be a man. Dongming County Commander is not good at admitting his incompetence, pretending to be wrong, and falsely praising this person, presumably this person is not enough. Lin Fengdao, although he is a newcomer to officialdom, he already has a mature and sophisticated style.

When Liang Wenzhen heard this, he couldn't help laughing in his heart, could it be that God had let him come here, and he had already arranged an opponent to stir up for tat. Lin Feng had already belittled that Dongming strange person at this time, and then if he explained in the court, that strange person was me Liang Wenzhen, didn't he let people offend himself first, and if he wasn't an enemy, he would become an enemy? Here and now, this situation, but in a dilemma, I have to smile and be silent, so as not to respond to all changes. Cai Yan squinted his eyes and glanced at Liang Wenzhen, Liang Wenzhen looked at him, and Cai Yan was impressed by his calm and solemnity.

"Why is the master smiling and silent?" Quan Yu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, seemed to see some clues, but he was a little inexplicable. Cai Jing stroked his beard, laughed, and said: "Have you ever known that the Dongming County Commander is the proud protégé of the old man, and the strange person who solved the case is now here." After finishing speaking, he brushed his sleeves, picked up the purple sand cup, slowly reasoned, and savored the tea in the cup.

Everyone was stunned, their eyes swept around, and they were all fixed on Liang Wenzhen. Liang Wenzhen got up and said: "Under Liang Wenzhen, I was lucky to solve the Dongming unsolved case, thanks to the Dongming County Order to raise love, falsely praise his merits, and get the Taishi to carry love, and sit at the same table with you, I am really ashamed." ”

Some of the people returned the salute, and some nodded their heads. But looking at Liang Wenzhen's demeanor and progress, everyone was suddenly a little surprised. Which of the senior officials here has not been in the officialdom for a long time, and has read countless people. Because he saw Liang Wenzhen's dress, he was not a person in the officialdom, so he didn't want to see him; Seeing his temperament and bearing, he is not as prodigal as Wang Sun Gongzi, and he feels that on such an occasion, there is an untimely person. Only Lin Feng is familiar with Liang Wenzhen, because he has experienced Liang Wenzhen's methods, he naturally doesn't feel strange, but his smiling face has not changed, and his face is full of clouds.

"All of you, have you ever seen anything like this?" Cai Jing stroked a cup with his right hand, which was the glassware given by Liang Wenzhen. I saw that the cup was crystal clear, with a peculiar shape, and a small handhold, like a girl standing tall. It looks similar to a modern goblet, but due to the limitations of craftsmanship, it is very rare to be able to do this.

"This is clearly called a glass, in Shandong and other places, there are many places, made into various shapes and daily objects, and it is sold very hot." Lin Feng is a native of Qinghe County, and he destroyed his grandfather Xu's glass manufacturing business that day, but he was shameless at this time. Most of them had never seen it. "Miraculous, I haven't seen it in my later life." "Glass, like glass, but not glass, it is transparent, what a magical thing." "......" everyone exclaimed.

"This glass was given by Brother Liang, dare to ask Brother Liang, this thing was purchased from Shandong?" Cai Jing asked. "Back to Taishi, Liang is a merchant who makes a living from glass, and if he can make good glass objects in the future, he will definitely give you a lot of them." Liang Wenzhen replied.

"This Brother Liang turned out to be a trader, the so-called no treacherous businessman, since he came to Tokyo to make a living, Tokyo is no better than other places, he must keep to himself, he can't be cunning, and he has messed up the discipline." Lin Feng said coldly. He was familiar with Liang Wenzhen, but he pretended to be the first time he met.

During the conversation, the family had already served the food, which was a plate of roast chicken and a stack of beef. Cai Jing motioned for everyone to eat, but listened to a person chanting a poem: "Ten years of hard study to enter the official career, and there is no hand in entering Debao Mountain." It should be known that the fat beef on the plate is not as good as the chicken butt on the fire. "But it's Pan Tian, the squire of the military department.

When the Confucians heard this, they frowned, sighed without thinking. Liang Wenzhen admired this person's courage. In the first two sentences of the poem, he said that it was not easy for him to enter the office, but he did not want to go with the same stream, and his sleeves were clean. The last two sentences respectively use "fat beef on a plate" to refer to the low-hanging benefits of officialdom, and "chicken butt on fire" to metaphorize the hard-won livelihood outside officialdom. The artistic conception in the poem seems to have the meaning of being bored with officialdom and returning to seclusion.

On such occasions, all the important members of various ministries came who had been among the Jinshi and read poetry and books. At this time, the chanting of poetry is the entertainment of the ancients. And this Pan Shilang, although the poems he recited are not very elegant, but the meaning is high, this person must not be an ordinary man, Liang Wenzhen thought secretly. But the Confucians were full of disgust, and they had no time to comment, only saying that he was not sick**, and complained indiscriminately, and they didn't think so. Lin Feng remained silent, secretly laughing at this group of rotten Confucians.

Zhongshu Lang Ke Qian got up and said with a smile: "Pan Shilang must be confused, on such an occasion, chanting such a vulgar and unbearable work is really a great disrespect to Taishi Cai. ”

Cai Jing's old treacherous and cunning person has long been clear and quiet. The people on the side of the military department have never been very enthusiastic about walking around with themselves, as the imperial master, they are willing to put down their figures, invite some talents in the middle of the military department, drink and feast, talk about words and poems, discuss the disadvantages of the times, and will always be close to their own family after a long time.

As for the vulgarity of this poem, I can't talk about it. Liang Wenzhen did not understand the meaning of this situation, stood up, and made a gesture with everyone, praising the poem as very subtle, which attracted ridicule.

Shortly after Liang Wenzhen arrived in Tokyo, he attended a banquet full of Confucians for the first time, and recklessly praised Pan Shilang's poems, which caused ridicule. Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
