June 18, the last day of the funeral.

Qian Qianyi, Chen Yutai, Chen Zhenhui, and Xianghou Fang Yu, Fang Yizhi and others came to condole.

The arrival of these people caused a lot of fluctuations, and Zheng Xunrui and Wen Zhenheng did not expect it.

Qian Qianyi is already the leader of Donglin Academy, Chen Yutai and Zheng Xunrui are the same year, the palace examination list, and Zheng Xunrui is an official in the Hanlin Academy, and he was able to enter the Wenyuan Pavilion to walk, once had great hope, and the future even surpassed Zheng Xunrui, but unfortunately after Zhou Yanru resigned as the first assistant of the cabinet, Chen Yutai was immediately dismissed.

Chen Zhenhui took the opportunity to marry the Marquis Fang Yu and Fang Yizhi, and was known as the fourth son by later generations.

Chen Zhenhui is the son of Chen Yuting and a major member of the Restoration Society, and Hou Fangyu is one of the leaders of the Restoration Society, the son of Hou Sui, the head of the Household Department.

These people came to offer condolences, undoubtedly on behalf of the Donglin Party and the Fushe Ying Society.

Everyone knows that Zheng Xunrui is incompatible with the Donglin Party Restoration Society and Ying Society, and Qian Qianyi and others came to condole, which is meaningful.

The deceased is big, no matter who comes to mourn, Zheng Xunrui will be entertained well.

In just a few days after Zheng Xunrui came back, he also had a general understanding of many Donglin Party members, and from what he learned, he looked down on the Donglin Party members in Nanzhili even more.

The northern liukou is ravaged, the Houjin Tartar is eyeing the tiger, Huang Taiji has ascended the throne and called the emperor, the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty can be said to be in the wind and rain, can Qian Qianyi as the representative of the Donglin Party, still indulge in the Qingxi Baishi famous Ji Horse tour, lingering between the Qinhuai River, in order to show the scholar's graceful and suave, which seems to make people feel incomprehensible.

In particular, Chen Zhenhui, who was known as the fourth prince by later generations, took the opportunity to marry Marquis Fang Yu and Fang Yizhi and others, and were frequent visitors to the Qinhuai River. They are young and vigorous, looking forward to self-pride, boasting of ambition, and like to talk loudly, and they will go through the world's great affairs. But their behavior is to be hedonistic, living the life of a fat boy.

This is originally a pursuit of life, as long as conditions permit, everyone wants to be able to enjoy, Zheng Xunrui is no exception, but he has pleasure. On the one hand, he pretends to be high, worried about the country and the people, and claims to be the best among scholars, which seems hypocritical.

It's a pity that many Donglin Party members in Nanzhili have developed such an atmosphere. Their talents are often shown in the Qinhuai River, once they enter the imperial court, they forget their former desire to worry about the country and the people, and what they think of is party struggle.

This made Zheng Xunrui completely desperate for the Donglin Party.

However, the Donglin Party is strong, and even Wen Tiren, the head of the cabinet, does not dare to offend too much.

Therefore, Zheng Xunrui, who is in the development stage and has too many things to do, cannot have a showdown with the Donglin Party for the time being.

After Qian Qianyi and others went to the mourning hall to pay respects, Wen Zhenheng reminded Zheng Xunrui in a low voice. Take everyone to the study and have a good discussion, at least the Wen family should entertain every guest who comes to mourn.

Moon Zhenheng's worries are justified. After all, it is Wen Zhenmeng's funeral, if Zheng Xunrui has a dispute with everyone at the funeral, this is disrespectful to the deceased, and after it is spread, it will be very unfavorable to Zheng Xunrui's reputation, let alone Wen Zhenmeng's funeral. There were many officials who came to pay respects and mourn, and the funeral of Guò Wen Zhenmeng. The readers in Suzhou really realized Zheng Xunrui's ability, and it can be said that Zheng Xunrui once again became a model in the minds of Suzhou readers. Such a good atmosphere must be maintained.

Of course, Zheng Xunrui can control his own feelings, and he will not have conflicts with Qian Qianyi and others on such an occasion.

took Qian Qianyi and others to the study, and Zheng Xunrui sat on the side.

According to the etiquette among scholars, Zheng Xunrui should be the core of all people, he is the champion of the palace examination, and he is the imperial envoy of the left deputy capital of the left squire of the Ministry of War, the governor of the five provinces, and the others who are doing it, except for Qian Qianyi and Chen Yutai, who were once officials in the court, the rest of them are only scholars who have the fame of being a student, but today's situation is different, after all, Qian Qianyi and others are here to worship and mourn Wen Zhenmeng, as the master's Zheng Xunrui, naturally he should be polite.

Zheng Xunrui had a smile on his face, chatting with Qian Qianyi, Chen Yutai and others, and talked more about Wen Zhenmeng's past, as for Chen Zhenhui's presence, Hou Fangyu and Fang Yizhi and others, it was not the focus of Zheng Xunrui's attention, although among these people, only Hou Fangyu was younger than him.

It was Chen Yutai who touched the most.

Chen Yutai is the eye of the palace test list, and Zheng Xunrui is doing things in the Hanlin Academy, relying on Zhou Yanru at the beginning, he will definitely be able to find a bright future, but unfortunately people are not as good as the sky, Zhou Yanru resigned as the first assistant of the cabinet, and all of them came to naught, as the ambitious palace test list, Chen Yutai is a little unconvinced, and now, Zheng Xunrui has become a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and Yang Tingshu has also become the governor of Shanxi.

But after seeing Zheng Xunrui, Chen Yutai suddenly felt ashamed.

Zheng Xunrui's temperament is by no means comparable to that of Qian Qianyi and others, it is a kind of domineering, not angry and self-assured, confident, and able to control a qiē at all times, which is completely different from the wind and snow that scholars linger in.

Looking at Chen Zhenhui and the others, they are all young and frivolous, so happy, and even boastful.

Chen Yutai has been thinking about what to see from Zheng Xunrui's expression, it is said that according to Zheng Xunrui's ability, he should be dissatisfied with Chen Zhenhui and others' expressions, and he is a little disdainful, but from Zheng Xunrui's face, he can't see these things at all.

This made Chen Yutai suddenly have an unusual view, maybe there is indeed a gap between what he insists on and what Zheng Xunrui insists on.

Chen Yutai knows very well that the reason why Qian Qianyi summoned everyone to come to mourn Wen Zhenmeng is that Wen Zhenmeng is famous among scholars in Suzhou, the champion of the palace examination, and he is the second assistant of the cabinet, which can be said to have reached the highest level of scholars, and secondly, because of the influence of Zheng Xunrui, in just three days, Yang Yipeng, Xu Guangqi, Zhou Yanru and Dong Qichang and others came to mourn, which has shown that Zheng Xunrui's influence is not ordinary, and his ability is not ordinary.

The atmosphere of the conversation was good at first, but slowly it changed a little.

The main changes still come from Chen Zhenhui and others.

Qian Qianyi led many Donglin Party members to mourn Wen Zhenmeng, thinking of easing the relationship with Zheng Xunrui, or unwilling to be too hostile to Zheng Xunrui, Qian Qianyi's mind can be described as spicy, but his good intentions, Chen Zhenhui and others are incomprehensible, during the conversation, Chen Zhenhui and others have been touting Qian Qianyi's talents, and from time to time to show their talents, young and frivolous posture slowly revealed.

Chen Yutai first began to worry, constantly interjecting, and sometimes even directly interrupting the words of Chen Zhenhui and others.

It's a pity that Qian Qianyi doesn't have any appearance.

This made Chen Yutai feel a trace of sadness, after Qian Qianyi returned to his hometown, he presided over the affairs of Donglin Academy, and became the object of worship and admiration of the scholars of Donglin Academy.

Zheng Xunrui has always been very calm, how can he not feel the change in the atmosphere of the conversation, if it were on other occasions, he would have made sarcastic remarks a long time ago, but not today, after all, it is Wen Zhenmeng's funeral, the dead are the greatest, no matter what happens, it is necessary to be restrained and patient.

Zheng Xunrui's calmness and generosity failed to wake up Chen Zhenhui and others.

It is understandable that any young person, especially those with a certain amount of knowledge, is often a high-eyed and low-minded person, and is ashamed to comment on the government and any adult in the court, they can really sink down and do things in a down-to-earth manner after they enter the court and really start to do things.

Zheng Xunrui is a person who has crossed over and can understand this very clearly.

In fact, Zheng Xunrui is also observing carefully, Chen Yutai is a lot more sophisticated, after all, he has suffered blows in the imperial court, and he seems to be much more mature, on the other hand, Qian Qianyi, his appearance is much worse.

Zheng Xunrui didn't understand a little, as the leader of the Donglin Party, as a great Confucian who controlled the court by remote control, Qian Qianyi's appearance should be mature and wise, but today in the face of the praise of several future generations, it seems to be a matter of course, Qian Qianyi is already in his fifties, and he has seen through a lot of things. Qian Qianyi's expression is not as good as Chen Yutai.

Zheng Xunrui will not underestimate this matter, the meaning reflected behind this is not ordinary, which shows that the Donglin Party people are already very arrogant, thinking that they control the government, thinking that Donglin Academy has become a place of yearning for scholars all over the world, and that it is a matter of course to accept worship.

This realization is sad, but it also indicates that Zheng Xunrui will face more and more difficulties in the future.

After talking for only a quarter of an hour, Zheng Xunrui barely spoke, Chen Zhenhui and others had no scruples about Qian Qianyi and Donglin Academy's praise, especially Mao Xiang and Hou Fangyu, who talked eloquently and quoted scriptures, and there was some taste of deliberately doing this.

Zheng Xunrui stood up, smiled and hugged his fist at everyone, saying that there were still many visitors outside who needed to be received, and asked Qian Qianyi and others to rest temporarily in the study, and someone would come to invite them to the banquet later.

After Zheng Xunrui left, Chen Zhenhui and others began to complain without scruples, meaning that Zheng Xunrui's shelf was too big, and Mr. Qian Qianyi came to worship specially and couldn't accompany him, but he had to receive guests, which was a public provocation, and the verbal attacks of Hou Fangyu and Mao Xiang were even more powerful.

At this time, Chen Yutai couldn't help it, and said a few words, to the effect that Zheng Xunrui was indeed very busy, and it would be very good to be able to take time out to talk with him, don't ask too much, people don't have to do everything according to everyone's requirements.
