Ye Xiaotian sent Dou Ni to accompany his mother early in the morning, and only went to the Ministry of Rites at three o'clock in the morning.

In fact, when Ye Xiaotian was the ambassador of the Huitong Pavilion in Jinling, he also made up for the etiquette of the Ming officialdom, but remembering it in his heart and doing it are two different things, and if he can only remember it and never use it, the speed of thinking back when he wants to do it is not fast, and he will not allow people to think about it slowly when he meets the Son of Heaven, so it is still necessary to practice in the Ministry of Rites.

"It's Ye Tuiguan at the bottom, oops, hey, look up for a long time!" Tao Xixi, the host and guest of the Ministry of Rites, and the director of the Qing Officials Division, greeted Ye Xiaotian with a spring breeze on his face. Su Xuntian snickered: "What has he admired for a long time, is the adult very famous in the capital?" ”

Li Qiuchi quietly stepped on his toes and did not speak.

Ye Xiaotian was very surprised, the officials he had "received" in the prison were not one or two, from their mouths, he had already known the arrogance of the Beijing officials, a powerful local official, when he arrived at the Yamen of the Sixth Department of the capital, he faced a small official who was five or six grades lower than him, and he had to accompany the smiling face, and he didn't dare to show his anger even if he was scolded coldly, but he didn't expect this Tao master to be so polite.

Ye Xiaotian is a donkey temper, you respect me for three points, I pay you back, you are sorry for me, I am a donkey. Now that people are polite, he immediately changed his smile and greeted him, saying, "The lower official has seen the master!" ”

This director is a sixth-grade official, and Dai Tongzhi is at the same level, Ye Xiaotian is still a pusher, a seventh-grade official, two levels behind him, so he wants to pay a salute first. As soon as Ye Xiaotian bent down, he was picked up by Master Tao, and said with a smile:

"Lord Ye, you're welcome! You left the capital as a jailer, but for a few years, you have been promoted again and again, and now you are about to become a toast, you are a legend in the capital, and you are even more enviable than the ancient worshippers who worshiped the marquis, hahaha......"

As Master Tao spoke, he affectionately climbed Ye Xiaotian's arm and said: "Come on, come on, let's go to the host and guest division, you don't have to worry, it's difficult to say the courtesy of the face king, it's not difficult to say it's not difficult, Tao is a good student to explain it to you, and you can be proficient with a little practice." ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Yes! There is Lord Laotao. By the way, I don't know if this waiter of the Ministry of Rites, but is it still Lord Lin? ”

Master Tao said in surprise: "What? Does Lord Ye recognize Lord Lin? ”

Ye Xiaotian smiled slightly, and said a little mysteriously: "This ......, cough!" It's a piece of incense! ”

Director Tao was in awe, and hurriedly said, "I see, but my lord wants to visit Lord Lin first?" ”

Ye Xiaotian arched his hand and said, "There is Brother Lao Tao!" ”

"You're welcome!" Director Tao smiled and said, "Go, I'll lead you!" ”

The two laughed all the way, the Tao director had no Beijing official frame, and he was very polite to him, and when the two came to the squire's signing room, they were already very familiar. Director Tao asked Ye Xiaotian to wait, so he stepped forward and whispered a few words to the porter, who looked at Ye Xiaotian curiously, and then turned around and entered the house.

Ye Xiaotian did not intend to see Lin Shilang temporarily, but intended to renew the old friendship. As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good officials, and all the big toasts in Guizhou are actually related to the court, and they may not be very close, but a generous gift is indispensable for the New Year's holidays.

Don't underestimate this relationship, it can make a big difference when it matters most. For example, the Yang family in Banzhou and the Song family in Shuidong often have disputes now, and they have fought a few vicious battles that are not on a large scale, but both of them have a relationship in the court, even if some rumors reach the ears of the emperor, a minister stands up and says lightly: "It's just that the people in the place are fierce, and the villagers gather to fight, it's just an ordinary thing!" It's just that they don't take their own toast to heart, and their majesty has the world in mind, so why bother to ask about the entanglement of a handful of small people in this corner", then the big things will be turned into small things, and the small things will be turned into nothing.

Ye Xiaotian also has the heart to cultivate his relationship in the DPRK and China now, it is too early to say that he is the spokesperson of interests, but as long as he has a good impression of him, he is willing to say a good word for him at the right time, it is a good start.

And he has no other way in the capital, the only one he knows is Lin Shilang, Lin Shilang is not very old, he is only in his forties now, and there are further opportunities, which is worth investing emotionally. Therefore, whether to learn the gift of the face gentleman today is still secondary, and the first thing is to get on the line with Lin Shilang.

The little guy hurriedly came out after a while, and his demeanor was much more polite than Fang Cai: "My waiter has invited Master Ye!" Ye Xiaotian straightened his clothes, nodded to Director Tao, and walked in with the little guy.

Lin Shilang was standing behind the case and splashing ink, as soon as Ye Xiaotian turned the screen, Lin Shilang put down his pen and raised his head with a smile. There is a huge piece of rice paper on the case, but in fact, there is no ink on it, Lin Shilang is not writing calligraphy at all, but to welcome Ye Xiaotian.

However, the difference in rank between the two is too far, don't say welcome, even if it is to stand up to greet each other, it is a bit of a drop for Lin Shilang, but when it comes to affordable power, this soon-to-be Tusi Tuguan is even a big red eye, so he took great pains to choose this way, not only not to surrender his identity, but also to show courtesy to Ye Xiaotian.

Ye Xiaotian had mixed up in a prison dedicated to imprisoning corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and these doorways were naturally clear, and as soon as his eyes fell on the paper, he understood what Lin Shilang meant.

Ye Xiaotian took three steps forward and wanted to bow down. It's just that his movements are not fast, Lin Shilang, who has come around from the back of the case, walked forward, and he took the initiative to grab three steps, this kneeling, his arms were just framed by Lin Shilang: "No courtesy, no courtesy, haha, Lin Tuiguan, you and I Huxian farewell, it doesn't seem to be long, I can't imagine that you are rising step by step, Shunda is like this, I don't think it will take a few years, this official is going to pay homage to you!" ”

Lin Shilang jokingly picked up Ye Xiaotian and said, "Sit down!" ”

Lin Shilang turned around and sat down, Ye Xiaotian sat down and said with a smile: "Farewell to Huxian, the lower officials miss the adults very much." Today I have the opportunity to return to Beijing and meet my lords, and I am really happy in my heart. ”

Regardless of whether this is true or false, Lin Shilang is still happy to hear it, and Lin Shilang is now in the rising period of his career, and he also needs to form his own faction.

Director Tao stood outside the door and had nothing to do, so he leaned on the red lacquer pillar and remembered what was on his mind. The task assigned to him by Uncle Li Guo is indeed not strict, but the reward he gets is to become the host and guest Shilang, this risk is worth taking!

Don't look at the host and guest Shilang is a five-grade official, he is the sixth grade, only three poles, but this is the capital, that is, to climb up one level, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, every time there is a vacancy, you don't know how many people are staring at the front, and everyone has a background and background, which is easy to rise?

Besides, although it is only three poles higher, the authority and treatment are very different, the upper part of the Lang is the squire, as long as he can stand in that position, he is qualified to establish his own team, not only can he choose a certain important minister to take refuge, the important ministers will also look for henchmen among the officials at their level, Anzhi will not be able to become a squire and a scholar in the future?

Approach Ye Xiaotian and make him believe in himself......

Thinking of Li Xuan's task, Director Tao's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were deep and terrifying.

……

In the signing room, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

If you want to make friends with others, some words and some things have to be pointed, if you don't leave, endlessly, and make people hateful, it will have the opposite effect, it is Ye Xiaotian who made Lin Shilang laugh with a funny word, so he took the opportunity to get up and said: "Lord Shilang is busy with official business, so the lower officials will not bother much, so I will leave." ”

Lin Shilang said with a smile: "Okay! There you go! ”

Ye Xiaotian bowed and walked, only took two steps, and suddenly stood again, as if he remembered something, patted his forehead lightly, turned around and said, "Although adults are in the prime of life, they should still take care of their bodies." Xiaguan has a pair of playthings here, give them to adults, and play in their leisure time, which is beneficial to the body. ”

Ye Xiaotian said and took out a pair of walnuts from his sleeve, put a plate in his hand, and made a crisp and pleasant sound of gold and jade. Lin Shilang saw that this pair of walnuts was vermilion, crystal clear, and it was obvious that they had been playing for many years, although they were not worth too much silver, but they were also a rare object, so he took them with a smile.

The pair of walnuts are quite heavy, cool and refreshing, and the touch is as smooth as jade, and it is really a high-grade literary game played on the plate, Ye Xiaotian arched his hand to Lin Shilang again, and then he retired.

Lin Shilang rubbed the walnuts and sat down after returning to the case, his eyes drooped, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly took a closer look at the pair of walnuts, and was taken aback, where is this walnut from the plate, it is clearly carved from real red jade!

As the saying goes: "Jade is red, and it is priceless!" "This pair of red jade walnuts is not only red, but also as bright as a cockscomb, with a luster of oil, delicate and warm. Since ancient times, jade has been divided into five colors, with red being the highest, and the best red jade is the most difficult to find.

This pair of walnuts ......

Lin Shilang checked the pair of walnuts and quickly estimated its value: in Xicheng, where dignitaries and nobles gather and every inch of land is expensive, you can buy a mansion with five courtyards, and at the same time buy hundreds of beautiful maids and pretty children, and you can also buy thousands of acres of fertile land in the suburbs of Beijing.

Lin Shilang suddenly gasped, this future toast master was also arrogant! Thinking that Ye Xiaotian was actually clanging with walnuts just now, although the red jade was the hardest, but the strength was slightly inappropriate, and it would also touch the extremely realistic carved lines, he actually played with it as a real walnut plate......

Lin Shilang held this pair of walnuts, and carefully did not dare to turn them, if they fell to the ground, even if they only broke one ballast, it would be a flower-like jade, charming and beautiful twenty-eight girl disappeared, distressed!

Lin Shilang hurriedly turned around and turned out a box from the bookshelf behind him, the box originally contained a famous inkstone, Lin Shilang held the walnut in one hand, opened the box with the other hand, poured the precious inkstone inside to the table, regardless of whether it was damaged, immediately ripped the rice paper, wrapped a pair of walnuts tightly, stuffed into the box, and then sat down with relief.

"This Ye Xiaotian really has a heart......

Lin Shilang stroked the lid of the box and smiled slightly.
