Chen Yuan went to the examination room to inspect, this is the fourth time he has come to visit, and it has been arranged in an orderly manner.

The tables and chairs have all been replaced, and even the tiles on the room have been combed. Ensure that there is no rain leakage, so that the candidates have a stable environment, and at the same time, I also ordered people to prepare some food, so that those difficult candidates can eat enough and take the exam with peace of mind.

Naturally, these policies have been warmly supported by the majority of candidates. Especially the poor students, they came to Hou Ye one after another to express their gratitude.

Chen Yuan only symbolically met with a few students, including Li Xian, and told them to take the exam with peace of mind.

After that, Huang Qian arranged dinner and went to his house for dinner.

Huang Qian, as the political envoy of Shandong, Chen Yuan can't help but give this face. Perhaps, Huang Qian has something else to say.

In the elegant hall in the house, in addition to Huang Qian in the main seat, there is only one guest Chen Yuan, and the dishes on the table are rich, chicken, duck, fish and geese, everything is available, the color and fragrance are complete, which makes people have a great appetite.

In the center of the hall, there are four dancing girls.

Huang Qian is obviously a person who can enjoy it, and the furnishings in the hall, the hanging of calligraphy and paintings, and the placement of screens are all pleasing to the eye. Even the dining utensils are very particular, and the wine served by the guests is also fragrant, mixed with the fragrance of the dancing girl, the wine and the beautiful woman, the fragrance is full of the court.

It can be seen that Huang Qian is not a big greed, but also a little greasy. However, Huang Qian understands, Chen Yuan also understands, you can't rub sand in your eyes, in ancient officialdom, when you reach this position, it is impossible for no one to be filial, and it is impossible to check all officials, as long as they are corrupt, they will be dismissed and killed, so there will be no more officials left.

People are not saints and sages, they all have seven emotions and six desires, and they can all be perfect.

So Huang Qian didn't hide it, and entertained Hou Ye with coarse tea and light rice. Hou Ye does not go after others because of wine and food.

The four dancing girls are all bright and eye-catching, the clothes on their bodies are exposed, the snow-white arms, the slender waist, the dance posture is hot and beautiful, with the sound of the piano, the small waist twists, full of wind and snow.

Huang Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Hou Ye's demeanor, and said, "Hou Ye, the family is simple, and a little wine is not a tribute, please!"

Such a beauty, such a glamorous and sexy dance, is enough to form a temptation for any man, but Chen Yuan seems to be very unique, accustomed to seeing beauties, only a few women can only be said to be above average, which can't arouse his interest, holding a cup, smiling and returning the salute: "Wine and food, thanks to the hospitality, Lord Huang is polite."

Huang Qian said: "Lord Hou is busy with official business, running around for the people of Shandong, and I humbly respect Lord Hou for a cup!"

After drinking for a while and talking about some scenes, Huang Qian suddenly smiled, raised his hand and pointed at the four beautiful girls and said, "Master Hou, how are these four dancing girls?"

"Good, good!" Chen Yuan nodded and said, "People are very beautiful, and dancing is even more beautiful."

Huang Qian smiled lowly: "Master Hou, these four dancing girls have spent a lot of money to get ......!" Leaning forward slightly, he smiled and said, "Not only are people beautiful, but they are taught by musicians themselves, but the key is that they are still yellow flower virgins!"

As soon as he said this, the faces of the four dancing girls were dyed red, and they quietly looked at this legendary Hou Ye, who was still so young. Listening to the meaning of the adults, they want to give them to Hou Ye, and follow Hou Ye's words, I don't know how he will treat us, they secretly thought in their hearts.

Chen Yuan let out an "oh" and didn't know how to answer. Listen to him, you want to give yourself a beautiful woman. Send yourself four at a time, generous enough.

Sure enough, I only heard Huang Qian say, "If Master Hou takes a fancy to them, it is their supreme blessing, how about I give them to you?" I heard that Hou Ye came to Shandong, and he didn't even have a portable maid, it was very deserted, these four dancing girls brought over, and when they were bored, they could let them dance and have fun, what do you think?"

If it were other people, when they saw a few beauties, they would have been unable to walk for a long time, but the wives and concubines in the Hou Ye's family are all one in ten thousand. Huang Qian told the truth, not only did he not have a personal maid in Shandong, but at home, the two pretty maids Chunhua and Qiuyue had taken concubines, and there were few maids in the family.

Geng Cairuo is a big vinegar jar, there are not many servants in the family, some girls were replaced by her as aunts, Chen Yuan also smiled bitterly, and let her go.

"Lord Huang is kind, I understand it in my heart, but there is a lady in my family, that, cough, very fierce, the good-looking maids in the family have been replaced by her, if you take four beautiful women back, you won't show me every day."

Huang Qian was stunned, he couldn't imagine that Hou Ye refused, or because he was afraid that the wife of the family would be angry, he refused and said, "The husband is the wife, the Hou Ye-"

Chen Yuan smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "She has high martial arts, I can't beat it, forget it, don't mention it, it's very shameless."

Huang Qian smiled bitterly, it seems that Hou Ye must have refused, and the four dancing girls were disappointed in their hearts and did not have the blessing of serving Hou Ye.

Huang Qian waved his hand, and the dancer immediately floated down like four clouds.

Chen Yuan raised his glass apologetically, invited him to drink, and praised him for his dedication to Chunqiu these days.

Huang Qian repeatedly said that it was his own business and should not be praised. Then he said: "Invite Hou Ye to come over today, nothing important, but I have admired Hou Ye for a long time, and Hou Ye can come, and I am fortunate to be humble for three lives." Can Master Hou still drink? If you have enough wine, why don't you go to the tearoom and drink tea together!"

It's a treat again, and it's a gift for Mei Ji, either flattering or asking for something, he doesn't bring it up, and Chen Yuan doesn't break it. Answer yes

The piano, ikebana, and chess have always been considered noble studies, and the tea ceremony is called the "four elegances" alongside these three courses.

The Chinese tea ceremony has been passed down since ancient times. Since Lu Yu wrote the "Book of Tea" in the Tang Dynasty, drinking tea has been all the rage, and because of the "tea horse" policy in the early Ming Dynasty, tea in the Central Plains has become a rarity, and foreign countries have rushed to buy it, and drinking tea has become an elegant thing for the people of the Central Plains.

The Chinese tea ceremony pays attention to the four elements, and the environment, etiquette, tea art, and practice are integrated into one, so that it can be called the tea ceremony.

The Huangfu teahouse is built in the middle of a quiet courtyard, the courtyard is full of green pines and green bamboos, the flowers are in full bloom, the moonlight is bright, and there is a bit of elegant taste, and the whole tea room is completely made of yellow wood, between the green pines and green bamboos, it seems quiet and natural.

Chen Yuan followed Huang Qian into the tea room, the tea room looks simple and bright, the ground is covered with yellow wood floor, each corner is lit with a bright lamp, next to each lamp, there is a celadon vase, which is inserted with flowers, and on the side facing the door of the tea room, there is a large letter, which reads "Tranquility Zhiyuan".

In the middle of the tea room, there is an antique brown tea case, and a set of clean purple sand tea sets is placed on the tea case, which is spotless and clean.

The two sat on the floor, and Dr. Tea skillfully made tea.

Dr. Tea made the tea, bowed and withdrew.

Huang Qian said with a smile: "Lao Tzu said, to the extreme, keep quiet, all things work together, I will watch its recovery. There are many things and things, and each one returns to its roots. In the final analysis, it is said to be quiet, and quiet is said to return to life. Zhuangzi also said that when the water is quiet, the candle is bright and the eyebrows are clear, the level is accurate, and the master craftsman takes the law. The water is still and bright, and the situation is spiritual. The heart of a saint, quiet, the mirror of heaven and earth, the mirror of all things. Lao Zhuang's virtual meditation is to see the mind, insight into nature, self-reflection, the mind is as quiet as quiet, then not bound by all things, the supreme method of understanding morality, we make tea and taste tea, is to chase the mood of the ancients, to taste the elegance and simplicity of it, the ancient and quiet!"

"I am very impressed by the profound knowledge of adults."

Huang Qian shook his head and said, "Otherwise, the lower officials only know a little bit about it, and the vassal is elegant, which makes the Hou Ye smile."

"Don't dare, I drink tea, but it's like a cow gnawing on a peony, it's what makes adults laugh." Chen Yuan was thirsty, and he didn't care about the tea ceremony, so he didn't understand it, so he drank a cup of tea, and then put the quilt on the table.

Huang Qian was a little embarrassed, and found a topic to say, "Master Hou, I think you came to Shandong for the first time, you were humble and incompetent, and made a mess of Shandong, and now I think about it, I'm really ashamed." Huang Qian sighed and said, "Please forgive Master Hou."

It seems that what he really meant today was that he came to investigate, and he said that he would not punish the Shandong officials and get rid of Zhang Hong quietly, and they were still afraid in their hearts.

"At that time, the policy was a bit extreme, Lord Li's past, let's not comment today, Lord Huang is not at fault in this matter, and there is no need to blame yourself."

Huang Qian waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "I am the political envoy of Shandong, and if I am not strict in discipline, how can I be ashamed of my faults!" But there are many officials in Shandong, and they can't manage it at a humble level, so it's helpless."

Chen Yuan remained silent, pretending to be surprised, "My lord, what do you mean?"

"As the saying goes, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves." Huang Qian shook his head and sighed, "In officialdom, how could it not be like this! Hou Ye knows, from a humble background, he has always been looked down upon by the scholars. The lowly was pushed to this position, obviously as a political envoy, but in fact, the criminal Zhang Hong and others, the lower officials are—alas, it's hard to say."

Chen Yuan comforted: "As long as you do your best, the rest will naturally have the laws of the imperial court."

"Master Hou, if you are humble, just say it directly, after Zhang Hong, the position of Xuezheng is vacant, I don't know what Master Hou plans?"

Chen Yuan finally understood, he complained for a long time, it turned out that he wanted to install his own people.

"It is an important task for the school administration to be in charge of local education, and I am going to write an excerpt and play it to the imperial court, and ask the imperial court to decide."

Huang Qian was a little disappointed, the imperial court decided, it is estimated that there are many sent from the capital, and it is far less useful than his own people.

How could Chen Yuan not know this truth, but it was easy to form a party with his own people. But in other words, what Huang Qian said is not unreasonable, he came from a humble background, and now since he is the head of a province, unless he is replaced, he will not be able to talk about a piece of a scholar born in a clan, and it is also a problem to be hollowed out again.

"However, I think that those who are officials in Shandong are more familiar with the people in Shandong, and I don't know if Lord Huang has a candidate, if there is a suitable one, I can recommend it to the imperial court."

Huang Qian's eyes lit up, Hou Ye was relieved, and immediately said, "There is one person, this person Hou Ye also recognizes, is Hou Ye's fellow villager, Yang Xu, the prefect of Dongying."

Yang Xu, Chen Yuan had a good impression of him, and frowned: "He is just a prefect, is it inappropriate to mention him as a scholar? My lord, the academic and political affairs are very important, and I can't promote them just because they are my fellow countrymen."

Huang Qian shook his head again and again: "Hou Ye, the humble is not recommended because he is a fellow villager of the Hou Ye, among all the prefects in Shandong, only Yang Xu is from a low background, he himself is calm and knowledgeable, and he thinks that if he comes to do academic politics, he can do better errands with him, and he will not be hindered everywhere."

Chen Yuan's right index finger lightly tapped the edge of the table, thinking about whether he should recommend Yang Xu.

In ancient officialdom, the nobles monopolized, and those from ordinary backgrounds wanted to be high-ranking officials, which was as difficult as ascending to the sky. Therefore, Huang Qian was able to get to this position, because the ancestral tomb was smoking, and it was a great element of luck. But on the surface, he is the general responsibility of a province, but in fact he does not have much power, and others do not listen to him, more or less acting in obedience to him.

To reform and implement policies, we need a united team.

Huang Qian didn't bother him.

After a while, Chen Yuan said, "I will have someone inspect him, and if it is suitable, I can recommend it to the imperial court." However, having said that, I will return to Beijing in the near future, and I will have to worry a lot about Shandong."

"Yes, the humble will do his best." After getting Hou Ye's reply, Huang Qian was reassured and immediately assured.

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Lord Huang, don't be happy yet, I'm just recommending, saying something that shouldn't be said, the Holy Lord is arbitrary, and the final result is still up to the imperial court."

"This is a lowly natural province." Huang Qian was very happy in his heart, feeling that today's treat was not in vain, as long as Yang Xu came up, they would be sentenced to have one less member of the Shi clan, and there would be one more main force standing beside him, and he could finally find a way to govern Shandong.

Chen Yuan got up and said, "My lord, it's getting late, Ben Hou will leave!" It was a personal relationship just now, and in order to get close, I didn't call myself Benhou, and when I left, I got serious.

Huang Qian got up to send Chen Yuan, and when he arrived outside the mansion, Huang Qian bent down at 90 degrees and arched his hand: "Congratulations to the Hou Ye!"

Chen Yuan got on his horse and whipped up, and left with two guards, until Hou Ye was far away, Huang Qian dared to straighten his body. t.

On the way, the guard asked, "Master Hou, where are we going?"

"Do you know where Dawang Village is?"

Both guards shook their heads.

"Go and ask Ben Hou."

"Yes." The guards got the lead, went to inquire for a while, and came back, saying that the place ten miles from the West City Gate was Dawang Village.

Chen Yuan nodded, and whipped his horse: "Go, go to Dawang Village."

The two guards are very strange, it's so late, what is the Hou Ye going to do there? As a guard, without asking much, the three horses ran in the moonlight, and the horses' hooves were in a hurry.
