Lin Shilang listened to Ye Xiaotian's words, and couldn't help but show a slight surprise, he didn't expect Ye Xiaotian to answer like this at all. After being stunned for a moment, Lin Shilang said slowly: "Ambassador Ye, do you know that you are in Jinling, and the future will not be easy. ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Xiaguan understands that Xiaguan is a classic history of Huxian County, Guizhou, where all ethnic groups live together and are backward in culture and education, and it is a blessing for Xiaguan to be able to be transferred to Jinling." But Xia Guan thinks that everyone has a suitable place for themselves, and only by finding the most suitable position for themselves can they play their role and show their ambitions in life. It is the so-called virtue and deal with it, and do what you can. To be a small official in Huxian County, it is the most suitable position for the lower officials, if the adults are to raise love, please also ask the adults to help, transfer the lower officials back to Huxian County, great kindness, and the lower officials will be remembered. ”

Lin Shilang was silent for a moment and smiled: "Okay, your mind is known." ”

Ye Xiaotian got up from his seat and saluted again: "Then, the lower official will retire!" ”

Lin Shilang nodded, and watched Ye Xiaotian bow down and retreat. After Ye Xiaotian stood under the car, Lin Shilang stomped his feet lightly, and the coachman spurred his horse and drove away.

Lin Shilang leaned lightly on the back of the chair and narrowed his eyes slightly. He was not angry at Ye Xiaotian's refusal, on the contrary, he appreciated Ye Xiaotian even more. People, the most difficult thing is to be able to clearly recognize their shortcomings and be able to resist temptations that are difficult for them to resist, and Ye Xiaotian has done both of them.

After Zhang Juzheng's death, the anti-Zhang faction forces that had been enduring for a long time found out the intentions of the Son of Heaven, so they launched a full-scale counteroffensive, the Zhang faction forces were liquidated, and the imperial court and government forces were reshuffled.

When he first took up an important position, Lin Shilang lacked a few capable people under his hands, and it was only after noticing Ye Xiaotian that he started to love talents. But in his heart. Ye Xiaotian's positioning is just a capable lackey. Ye Xiaotian's qualifications are his natural shortcomings, in the capital, even if he is a Jinshi, he may not be able to get ahead, let alone a lifter, even if he is willing to cultivate with all his might, Ye Xiaotian will not be able to make a big difference.

In the face of his solicitation and the difficult situation in Jinling, Ye Xiaotian was still soberly aware of this, but instead put his foothold in Huxian, this kind of sober understanding and long-term vision. and his ambition to be the head of the chicken rather than the queen of the cow, all made Lin Shilang look up to him.

"I'll help him, maybe...... He can really make a situation in the future, give me a surprise, hehe......" Lin Shilang stroked his beard, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Ye Xiaotian stood at the door of the Huitong Pavilion and watched Lin Shilang's car drive away.

Lin Shilang's noncommittal attitude made it difficult for him to determine whether Lin Shilang would go to the ministry for a little person like him. If Lin Shilang refuses to help, he still has a backhand, and Zhang Hongchou has already agreed to speak for him.

In short, even if Lin Shilang is dissatisfied because of this, he will not return to the capital. If he is content with the status quo. Just wants to have an official body and live a lifetime, then returning to the capital is his best choice. But if he wants to go further in his career, he can only return to the capital and never get ahead.

In the capital of seniority. A person like him who is congenitally deficient is simply unable to move an inch. He wants to come out only with his sword, or fight on the battlefield. Worship the marquis with military merits; Either become a fortunate minister and gain the trust of the Son of Heaven to rise to prominence. Otherwise, only Yungui, where the emperor is high and the civil power is weak, can there be a chance.

He has never read military books and war strategies, let alone a fierce general with 10,000 enemies, and if he wants to take the route of a military general, nine times out of ten he wants to become a nameless bone by the Wuding River. The hope of being a fortunate minister is even slimmer, not to mention that he doesn't have that plan, even if he does, the emperor is so close to him? Unless he castrates himself as a eunuch, I'm afraid he won't even have the opportunity to contact the emperor, and he will definitely be favored when he gets to the emperor? Which of the people around the emperor is not eight-faced, and there are a few people who are favored.

In this way, returning to Huxian County has become his best choice. Only in that kind of place where the civil official power is weak, heroes are judged only by success or failure, and few people care about their background and qualifications, can he be like a fish in water and will have a bright future.

Besides, doesn't Guan Shangshu have a friend of the same year in the capital? When he arrived in the capital, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape his revenge, and only by returning to Huxian County would the dragon return to the sea, and Guan Shangshu would have no use. But......

Ye Xiaotian suddenly thought of the personable, elegant and noble, who seemed to be a humble gentleman, but in fact he was secretly witty and had a feminine temperament......

"Looks like I'm going to have to get a golden mask to put on me......"

Ye Xiaotian thought: "Only by letting Uncle Li Guo hide from me as soon as he sees me from now on, can he avoid his constant calculations!" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Guan Xiaokun was broken by his father and sent back to his hometown in Chenzhou. When he left, he lay on his stomach in the car, looking so miserable. Uncle Li Guo went to see him off, Guan Xiaokun never told him, he had recruited him under his father's reprimand.

At the beginning, Guan Xiaokun had sworn that he would never implicate Uncle Li Guo, but he didn't think that telling his father about this matter would be considered a breach of his promise. And what kind of person Guan Shangshu is, a person who has been up and down in the sea all his life, how could Uncle Li's tricks be hidden from his old spicy eyes.

After Guan Xiaokun was scolded by his father, he also began to suspect that he was being used by Uncle Li, so when he saw Uncle Li, his expression was very cold, and Uncle Li only said that he was in a bad mood because his legs were broken, so he didn't think much about it.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Qiyun and Rui Qingxing's two greasy friends also disappeared one after another, it is said that Guozijian will have a big exam, and both of them were ordered by their father to study hard at home and not to move around. Although Uncle Li always has a sense of superiority when he is with them, and he doesn't pay much attention to them, but now that he lacks these playmates of the same age, he is also very bored when he faces the old man Gu Sanye all day long.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Li came to write another letter to her family, and the Empress Dowager, who loved her brother, brought her brother some private money, and at the same time persuaded him to return to Beijing as soon as possible. When one person is bored, he goes to the jade toy store to kill time.

Li Xuancheng is good at jade carving, and studied under the jade master Lu Zigang. This Lu Zigang was once summoned to the palace to make jade for the royal family, which is the Taishan Beidou of Suzhou Jade Industry. During the Ming Dynasty, Suzhou, Beijing and Yangzhou were the three major jade centers in the country. Li Xuancheng learned a clever jade cutting technique from Lu Zigang, and he seems to be a master of jade cutting in the world.

On this day, Li Xuancheng came to a jade shop on the bank of the Qinhuai River again. The shopkeeper didn't know his identity, but he often came and went, and the shopkeeper knew that he was a master of jade, and he probably didn't look down on most of the jade in his shop, and it was difficult to do his business, so he was not enthusiastic, just chatting with an old customer.

Li Xuancheng didn't care, he wandered around for a while, and suddenly saw a pile of jade wool in the corner of the store. The small one is like a hydrangea, and the big one is one person tall, Li Xuancheng carefully observed for a while around a piece of jade wool that was more than one person high, and gently patted the stone. He raised his voice and asked, "Shopkeeper, can you also sell this wool?" ”

The shopkeeper was chatting with someone, and when he asked, he paused the conversation. rushed over and said with great interest: "What, Childe wants to gamble on stones?" ”

Li Xuancheng said lightly: "Bet? This son never relies on luck to fight for wealth! I just love this stone, say it. What's the price? ”

Only a small piece of stone skin was cut off from the wool that was more than one person high, revealing a piece of white jade that was crystal clear, warm and delicate inside, with excellent texture, but this stone only opened a small window, and no one could guarantee that the stone would be a large piece of jade.

The shopkeeper looked at it and said: "Childe, this stone is not small, and the price is naturally not cheap, if you open the stone, but there is only this piece of jade in it, it will be a big loss, it is better to choose a smaller one, the right to play, lose and earn will not hurt your muscles and bones." ”

Li Xuancheng smiled slightly and said, "I understand the rules, I don't need to say more, let's make a price." ”

The shopkeeper hesitated slightly, and then opened a relatively high price, Li Xuancheng has been very depressed recently, he didn't want to gamble on stones, purely to vent, and agreed without hesitation, and took out the private money given to him by the queen mother's sister.

As soon as he heard that Li Xuancheng agreed, the shopkeeper became excited, if this stone was cut open, it would really be a large piece of beautiful jade, not to mention how tall a person was, even if only one-third of it was jade, then this Li Gongzi would also make a fortune.

The shopkeeper said with a loss: "Childe, can you ask the craftsman of the store to open this stone for Childe?" ”

Li Xuancheng shook his head and said, "No need, please send the stone back to my house, and I will open it myself." ”

The shopkeeper was disappointed when he heard this, and when Li Xuancheng said the name and address of the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion, the shopkeeper heard that it was a person from Zhenyuan Hou, but he didn't dare to complain anymore, so he hurriedly beckoned the man to prepare the car and prepare to transport a huge piece of stone to the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion.

When the man was preparing the car, the shopkeeper collected the money, invited Li Xuancheng to sit down, and asked someone to make him a cup of tea, and then returned to the back of the counter and chatted with the old customer again. Li Xuancheng sat at the table, sipping tea slowly, and the conversation between the shopkeeper and the customer reached his ears.

"That uncle of the three kingdoms seems to be a humble and jade-like son, but in fact he is a beast with a human face and a beast's heart......"

Li Xuancheng almost squirted out of his nostrils with a sip of tea, and he stared at the shopkeeper with wide eyes, who was talking to the guest with his eyebrows, and he didn't notice his strangeness.

"I heard that this uncle has a very tyrannical temperament, and if there is a slight disagreement with the subordinates, he will ask people to die under the rod, which is too cruel. I've also heard that this uncle has some very special habits......"

The patron listened with great interest and hurriedly asked, "What are your hobbies?" ”

The shopkeeper said mysteriously: "This uncle is both a good woman and a man, which can be described as cold and cold." I heard that he and the son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites are Qi brothers, and the two of them often spend time together in the dark and do things that are not ashamed. Not long ago, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu accidentally bumped into their private affairs, and in a fit of anger, he broke his precious son's legs alive, and now he has rushed back to his hometown in Chenzhou, in order to get rid of the clutches of this uncle. ”

Li Xuancheng sat on the side and listened to understand, and for a while he was so angry that his hands and feet were cold: "What...... Why is there such an unbearable rumor? ”

:Sincerely ask for monthly passes, recommended tickets!.
