Jiang Yifan is not very prominent in the daily affairs of the household department, Shangguan does not assign him important errands much, and in daily affairs, Jiang Yifan is basically in the marginal area.

After more than half a year like this, many officials in key departments have not cared much about Jiang Yifan's existence.

At the end of the year, colleagues and officials in various departments had a long-standing habit of drinking and gathering, and Jiang Yifan and more than a dozen colleagues went to a pre-booked restaurant in the south of the city.

Although Jiang Yifan's official position is not as good as that of the principal, it is higher than that of the various practical writers, and although he is excluded from the affairs of the household department, he gets along with the officials quite harmoniously.

In the restaurant, more than a dozen people were divided into two tables and sat down in order according to their official positions. Above Jiang Yifan sat an official of the same level, and below him was a pen post in charge of tribute, named Li Zheng.

Adhering to the principle of only chatting for leisure and not talking about official business, a group of people chatted while drinking, chatting about friendship, talent, peach blossom luck, and even gossiping about parents.

Then, it was inevitable to talk about the marriage of Miss An Guogong.

"Lord Jiang, how did you discuss the relationship with the eldest lady of the Ye family?" One of the principals asked, putting down his glass.

Jiang Yifan smiled and replied, "It's already agreed." ”

"That's right, I heard from insiders that the family affair between Master Jiang and Miss Ye is widely spread in the capital, which can be called a good story. Congratulations to Mr. Jiang. ”

The people at the same table raised their glasses one after another, and the congratulations continued.

Jiang Yifan toasted with his colleagues in the laughter of everyone, and then drank three more glasses of himself. The atmosphere at the wine table was high.

Wine is a magical thing, and drinking is also a magical activity. It is often said that wine is a good indicator of character. After Jiang Yifan clinked glasses with his colleagues brightly, everyone's relationship seemed to be much closer.

Li Zheng, who is sitting at the head of Jiang Yifan, is in his forties and is also from a Jinshi. As early as the beginning, he served in the household department, and he did it for nearly ten years, and he only did it from the seven-pin pen post position.

He and Jiang Yifan were a greeting friend before, but at this time, they sat together, drank together, and touched several glasses alone, feeling a lot closer to Jiang Yifan.

He coaxed with everyone, congratulated Jiang Yifan again, and then glanced at the people who were discussing enthusiastically, and whispered to Jiang Yifan: "That's right, what you did before was a little too young and vigorous." ”

This "right" refers to his proposal to the Anguo Mansion this time, right? Of course he agrees with this, but isn't that right? But if he is young and vigorous, he doesn't want to admit it.

Therefore, Jiang Yifan smiled noncommittally and didn't say much.

Li Zheng continued what he had just said: "Don't believe what I said. In this world, there are many difficult daughters-in-law, but there are people who can coax her. I miss you dignified Tanhualang, I heard that you also have rules and regulations in official business, as long as you put a little effort into it, can't you still get a woman? ”

After Li Zheng said this, Jiang Yifan hurriedly picked up the wine glass and touched him again: "Thank you Brother Li, Brother Li is for my good, Yuanfan has been taught." ”

Li Zheng took a big sip of wine and said with a sigh: "When you left the capital that year, many of us talked about you. If you say that you have backbone, then you really have backbone, but it's a pity. ”

Jiang Yifan raised his eyebrows, "What is a pity?" ”

Li Zheng said with a smile: "It seems that you can become a high school scholar at a young age, and students in the world can never dream of good things, and you can meet helpful in-laws, which is an opportunity to show your ambitions." Master Jiang said, isn't it a pity? ”

Jiang Yifan raised his glass and touched Li Zheng again, and said: "What Brother Li said is that you always have to go through something to know what is the most important. ”

Li Zheng slapped the table, and with a snap, he was startled. Turning his head to look at the people next to him, he saw that everyone was drinking happily and chatting happily, and the whole private room was very noisy, and he couldn't hear it clearly if he didn't get close to his ear.

Li Zheng continued to say to Jiang Yifan: "Master Jiang is right, not everyone can be a young talent. Just like me, I was only admitted to the Jinshi in my thirties, where can I have the opportunity to marry the daughter of a famous family to help? In addition to catering to Shangguan and boiling slowly, you have to ......"

Although Li Zheng was already red-faced and red-eared from drinking, when he said this, he immediately stopped as if he was alert.

Jiang Yifan didn't seem to be aware of it, raised his glass to him, took a sip of it, took a mouthful of food and ate it into his mouth, and said while chewing: "Brother Li is not bad." I have been on an errand in the household department for nearly a year, and it is visible, Brother Li is appreciated by the superiors, and the envoy is also very stable, and I think he will be promoted soon. ”

Li Zheng was stunned, then pulled a plate of mixed bean sprouts in front of him, smiled plausibly, and said: "Lord Xie Jiang, at my age, even if it is smooth, at most I can boil to the fifth grade, which is already burning high incense." ”

sighed like this, and then remembered that Jiang Yifan had worked in a small local county for three years at a young age, and he was able to appreciate and be transferred back to the capital for appointment, and he was extremely envious.

Li Zheng took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and saluted Jiang Yifan and said: "Lord Jiang sat in the position of deputy director of Beijing at a young age, and now he has the help of his in-laws, and the future is limitless. ”

"Thank you, Brother Li, for your words." Jiang Yifan hurriedly picked up his wine glass and saluted, and said in a low voice, "If you are not satisfied with Brother Li, I also want to be promoted faster." However, most of the households are seniorized old people, and newcomers like me are not easy to get ahead, and I just look forward to staying up for a year or two of qualifications, and I can gain the trust of the officials, and I will have a chance to come. ”

At this time, the people at the dinner table were already very noisy. Many people were slightly drunk, and after Li Zheng and Jiang Yifan clinked glasses again and again, they were very like-minded.

He was infected by Jiang Yifan's low voice, as if the relationship between the two was one step closer, and he also lowered his voice and said: "How old is your brother, I will ask you to be older and give you a suggestion." ”

As he spoke, he looked around again, and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he leaned close to Jiang Yifan's ear, "You will also be a person with roots in the future, so you should trust the relationship of your Yue's family and leave the household." In fact, it is not bad to go to the Ministry of War, if Grandpa Guo can say hello to the adults in the Ministry of War, with the ability of Lord Jiang, he can't be promoted or not. ”

Jiang Yifan lowered his voice, "Don't hide it from Brother Li, I want to continue to do it in the household department, the military department is not as good as the errand of the household department after all." ”

Then, Jiang Yifan gave Li Zheng a look, with a look of "you know" closeness.

When Li Zheng received this look, he shook his head again and again, although the wine was surging, he still didn't say it after opening his mouth a few times.

Jiang Yifan didn't ask hard questions, and while drinking, he talked about a lot of personal family troubles and so on. Before the night fastop, everyone was still unsatisfied with the stall.

Everyone drank together, and most of them drank a little high, so naturally they were all good brothers and good buddies.

Li Zheng had forgotten that Jiang Yifan was a marginal figure, and he had forgotten that Jiang Yifan's official position was bigger than him, so he only walked out affectionately on Jiang Yifan's shoulder.
