Zhu Biao, who had done the job, returned to the house to see Li Wenxuan, and briefly explained the whole thing. Li Wenxuan, who was amusing in his heart, maintained a surprisingly calm face. Zhao Han, who was holding a greeting post in both hands, suddenly walked in from outside the door, handed the post to the master, and stood aside without saying a word.

Li Wenxuan, who held the post in his left hand and opened it with his right hand, saw that it was written on it was a letter from Langzhong Hushan of the Ministry of Industry. Wondering, he didn't have any impression of this colleague, and they had no friendship with each other. The other party suddenly had to visit, and his first reaction was that this person had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, otherwise Hu Shan asked to see him, and he should have come to congratulate him when he was promoted to the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, instead of choosing this ordinary day.

Li Wenxuan, who closed the post in his hand, casually threw it on the table, and he really didn't want to see each other in his heart, after all, he was delayed to go to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to enjoy the happy time with his children. Knowing that people are in officialdom, he can't help himself, so he thought about it again, and while it's still early and he's in a good mood, he can listen to what he has to say.

Li Wenxuan, who didn't use the word "please", leaned back on both sides of the chair and said lazily: "Go and call someone in for me!" Zhao Han, who solemnly replied with the word "yes", walked out of the door again, to bring Hu Shan in person and meet his master. Not long after, a man with high cheekbones, a goatee, a slightly thin face, wearing the official uniform of a civil official of the fifth grade, and a pair of soap-colored official boots on his feet, walked a little fast, giving people a kind of man with considerable ability and spirit. It was to follow Zhao Han and walk into the hall of the mansion.

Seeing Hu Shan, the person walked to Li Wenxuan, who was in the center of the hall, stood up without hurry, greeted each other for a while, and then sat down as the guest and host. I didn't speak first, and asked him what was the matter. Instead, they habitually wait for the other party to explain their intentions first. Li Wenxuan, who had a calm face, was thinking in his heart why the other party would come to visit for no reason? Could it be that he is a colleague who has come to pull a relationship with him? However, his short and cursory observation of Hu Shan made his first impression that the other party was not quite like those people who stalked and greeted Shangguan.

Seeing that the maid in the Li Mansion had served tea to herself and retreated from Hu Shan, she also knew that she had no friendship with Li Wenxuan, so her face showed a hesitant look. Slowly poured out and said, "Xiaguan, this time I came to visit Lord Shilang, there is indeed some abruptness. If there is any rudeness, I hope you will bear with me. ”

Seeing that he opened with such a politeness, and his expression also revealed some seriousness and restraint, Li Wenxuan didn't want to make it seem like he was on duty in the official office to meet guests at home, so he enlivened the atmosphere a little, and couldn't help but smile faintly: "Master Hu." It doesn't hurt if you have something to say. You and I are both officials in the Ming Dynasty and in the capital. It's also a kind of fate. Although we rarely talk, I guess you should also be from a two-rank jinshi! ”

"Xiaguan is the ninth Jinshi on Jiajing's three-year list." Hu Shan, who sat up straight and stroked his beard with his right hand, the expression on his face changed instantly, and he inadvertently recalled the original scenery and pride, and looked quite proud.

Li Wenxuan, who looked at him like this. politely said "disrespectful", after all, his past life and future life have been gradually experienced from a scholar. Although he is not from the two lists, he has the fame of showing talent. According to common sense, there is no need to judge the level of official position. He should be polite to Hu Shan.

Li Wenxuan, who had a calm expression on his face, thought in his heart, it has been almost twenty years since you were named on the gold list, how did you become this official position of the fifth grade? It seems that you have wronged you again, after all, you don't look like the kind of official who is obsessed with the study of science. said that you know how to be an official, how can you be like this? According to common sense, not to mention that you become a court official, you have to have any of the feudal officials of any party, either the governor, or the political envoy, or the local high-ranking official at the level of the inspector, after all, the qualifications are there.

Li Wenxuan, who can only think like this, naturally can't say such hurtful words, so as to save himself as a little showman, and he is not in the exam himself, so he was confused and climbed to the position of the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites in a few years. Could it be that reading is really useful?

It's not that Li Wenxuan, who doesn't understand that the feudal imperial examination system is still very superior and advanced, always believes that without the existence of this one thing, there would be no hope, and there would be no social stability and bottom-up mobility, then the son of a peasant would always be a peasant, and the son of a powerful man would always be a magnate.

Soon, Hu Shan, who realized that he had some passes, put away his expression just now, and said seriously: "The purpose of Xiaguan coming to visit Master Li in person this time is not without official matters, but it is a private matter. During this year's Lantern Festival, Hu Cheng, the only son of the seventh generation of Xiaguan, happened to meet Miss Guifu at the Lantern Festival, which caused him to have no intention of studying since then, and he didn't think about tea and dinner, and people also endured it day by day. I invited a famous doctor in the capital to see it, and said that I had lovesickness. ”

Li Wenxuan, who heard the words "Miss", naturally thought of Li Muxin at first. The reason why he doesn't think that when his father is old, his son must be older, after all, the generational relationship in this era is much more complicated than in later generations. Although her daughter is about to turn four years old, she won't be favored by a little boy who grows up with her, right? Why, this is not a child in the same kindergarten!

Li Wenxuan understood in an instant. I clearly remember that the women in the house who went to see the Lantern Festival at sunrise during the Lantern Festival, except for Qiu Yue and Chu Hanlu, were the personal maids who followed the two of them, Peach and Xiaocui. As soon as he made such a connection, he basically understood.

"My little girl is only more than three years old, so she shouldn't be taken by your son! Moreover, she and I were both in Fuzhong for the holiday that day and did not go out. Li Wenxuan, who couldn't help laughing, pretended to be confused and didn't mention the other four. If the other party proposed to give Qiu Yue or Chu Hanlu as a gift, there would be no door, after all, they were women with their own reputation. Of course, if it is replaced by one of the two maids, it depends on the situation. (To be continued......)
