In the end, Tan Haisheng did not accept the gift given by Steward Sun, and he "invited" Steward Sun and those who were picked out by him in the Honglu Temple, and each gave some severance pay.

It was already two months after Fu Wenxi thoroughly dealt with the case of embezzlement of tribute led by Kang Baoshan and dealt with all the officials of Zhulian together.

Pine Forest House

At this time, it was already the early winter season, Fu Wenxi inquired and learned about Tan Haisheng's house, so he knocked on the door of Songlinju with two pots of osmanthus wine brewed by himself.

"Who!"

Yan Lin, the little servant next to Tan Haisheng and his only servant, ran to the door and asked!

After thinking about it for a while, Fu Wenxi said, "I am Fu Wenxi, and I am a good friend of your Lord Tan. I'm here today to have a drink with you adults! ”

"Oh? It's our grown-up's friend, why haven't I heard from us? "Yan Lin has been with Tan Haisheng for a long time, including when Tan Haisheng swept the floor in Honglu Temple, he has always been unabandoning and following him. He knew everything about Tan Haisheng, but he remembered very clearly that Tan Haisheng had never made friends like Fu Wenxi.

After Fu Wenxi reported his name, seeing that the person who came still didn't help him open the door, he said: "Tan Haisheng and I are like-minded good friends, if you don't believe it, you can ask him, and you will know if what I said is true!" ”

"Then you wait a while, I'll come when I go!" For the sake of prudence, Yan Lin still had to personally consult Tan Haisheng before deciding whether to let Fu Wenxi in.

Tan Haisheng, who was reading a book in the study, heard Yan Lin's announcement: "Fu Wenxi? How did he come? ”

Yan Lin shook his head blankly: "I don't know this little one, he just said that he is your good friend." ”

Tan Haisheng put down the book in his hand: "Since he is my good friend, how can there be any reason not to let him in?" You go clean up the living room, and I'll open the door myself!" ”

"Yes!"

After Yan Lin heard Tan Haisheng's words, he was very happy for him.

Because Yan Lin knew that Tan Haisheng had just joined the government as an official, there were "three piles on a fence, and three gangs on a hero". He has always been worried that Tan Haisheng's upright personality will be attacked by others in the officialdom. Now that he can get in touch with Fu Wenxi, the "uncle of the country", then his career as an official in the future should be much smoother.

Yan Lin grew up with Tan Haisheng since he was a child, and before Tan Haisheng's parents died, he had been told thousands of times that he must help take care of Tan Haisheng.

Therefore, Yan Lin has always cared a lot about whether the people he interacts with Tan Haisheng are good or bad. If something will affect him, or if Tan Haisheng is in trouble, will the people who are friends with him help him.

As we all know, the most favored thing by Emperor Long Xingche of Chenguo is Concubine Jingniang, not to mention that Concubine Jingniang has now given birth to two sons, and her status in the harem is unparalleled. In the future, it will be a matter of time before he enters the middle palace.

Since Fu Wenjing has such a high status in the palace, Fu Wenxi, as his own brother, is naturally much higher than officials of the same rank.

After Tan Haisheng saw Yan Lin happily running out of the study, he shook his head helplessly, he didn't know what Yan Lin was happy about!

"Squeak!" 180

After Tan Haisheng opened the door, he saw Fu Wenxi standing at the door with two bottles of wine.

"You come in first, the humble house is shabby, I hope you don't dislike it!" After Tan Haisheng invited Fu Wenxi in, he closed the door again.

Fu Wenxi saw Tan Haisheng hurriedly closing the door: "You are too careful, and the door is still closed in broad daylight!" ”

Tan Haisheng looked very cautious: "Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, I have just entered the company, and I don't want to be bothered by some things chasing after the wind and shadows." ”

Fu Wenxi carried the two bottles of osmanthus wine he brought behind him and said as he walked with Tan Haisheng: "You are so careful, your little servant was not willing to easily put me into your house at the beginning, but now you have come to open the door in person, what is the matter?" ”

Tan Haisheng smiled: "You said it, the two of us are like-minded good friends, so why should I refuse your arrival?" ”

Ha-ha!

When the two of them said this, they both laughed in unison!

After Tan Haisheng invited Fu Wenxi to the living room of his house, the two drank tea together.

After Fu Wenxi tasted the tea at Tan Haisheng's house, he couldn't help frowning. Although it is also Pu'er tea, it is not the best. It can be said that some inferior products are picked out of the good.

Tan Haisheng noticed the hesitation on Fu Wenxi's face: "My tea here is not very good, right?" ”

Fu Wenxi said politely: "No, I just have never drunk such tea, I just want to taste it carefully." ”

Tan Haisheng is accustomed to this: "This tea is a relatively cheap Pu'er tea, which is naturally much worse than the pure one you drink!" ”

"You are really thrifty, how much do you save by saving this sip of tea money? It's better to save money elsewhere! Fu Wenxi didn't continue to drink the tea in the cup, because he really couldn't drink the taste.

Tan Haisheng put down the teacup in his hand and said to Fu Wenxi seriously: "I have saved it elsewhere, you should have seen it just now, I have only one subordinate in the courtyard of the two entrances and two exits, so the cost of paying the subordinate will be saved!" ”

"If you do this, will it be very hard for your little guy? Some money has to be spent, just rely on the money issued by your official rank, and it is absolutely no problem to raise dozens of people! "Fu Wenxi once went to the homes of officials with lower rank than Tan Haisheng to investigate the case, and their homes were much better than Tan Haisheng's here.

"There's no rush for this, let's talk about it later!" Tan Haisheng felt that he was only serving him alone, and there was really no need for people from such two courtyards to surround him.

Fu Wenxi saw that Tan Haisheng didn't understand the meaning of his words, so he continued: "You really can't hear what you say!" I went to the Ministry of Rites to check your file, and you are the same age as me, and you are a few months older than me. My son is going to play soy sauce, but you haven't gotten married yet, aren't your parents worried about your marriage? ”

Tan Haisheng heard Fu Wenxi mention his parents, and said with a sad expression: "They can't come in a hurry if they want to, and they can't control me." ”

Fu Wenxi checked the archives of the Ministry of Rites, and he could only find out about Tan Haisheng's personal affairs, but for his family, he couldn't check it in so much detail. Fu Wenxi saw that he had said the wrong thing, which made Tan Haisheng uncomfortable, so he said very apologetically: "Isn't it that both of your parents are ......?"

"That's right, like you said, my parents have already died, and that happened a few months before I went to Beijing to take the exam. When I took the exam, I really tried my best to have a good result that could comfort their souls in heaven. ”

Fu Wenxi saw that Tan Haisheng was sad, so he comforted: "Although you have to thank your parents, but now your life can be so exciting, and it is inseparable from your own efforts!" ”
