The accommodation arranged by Li Huiyin was not simple, it was the closest restaurant to the imperial city, called "Drunken Immortal Pavilion", and some big officials would come here on weekdays.

Over time, living here not only required a lot of financial resources, but also became a status symbol.

"Before facing the saint, there will inevitably be many other officials in the capital who will come to visit, as for whether to see or not, it depends on you. ”

Shen Mian said.

Gu Changan nodded and said, "The people in the capital shouldn't all be enemies......, right?

"This is a list of the pacification envoys, some of these people may and may not come, but most of them need to be visited. ”

"Rivers and lakes and temples, there is always a way to have more friends, and he is not exempt from vulgarity. ”

Shen Mian was silent for a moment, and then said.

"The white clothes in the capital can shock the world, but if he was really alone at the beginning, I am afraid that the emperor will have to leave him at a great price. ”

"A saint is not exempt from the world, but it is the saint, not the man, who is exempt from the world. ”

"The saint is in the heavens, and the people are in the rivers and lakes. ”

......

Gu Changan looked at the list in the room, Dali Siqing, the six Shangshu, the Huangmen squire, and even some big eunuchs, and the foot-long paper was lined up in a row.

"By the way, my lord said, if anyone on these lists hasn't visited, you'll need to visit in person. ”

Shen Mourning reminded.

Gu Changan rubbed his brows.

How can it be a bit like explaining the future, letting yourself inherit the connections, and then inheriting Qingyang Prefecture?

For the officialdom work of interpersonal communication, Gu Changan is really handy, it is better to kill people happily.

"If you want to mix in the temple, there are many enemies in the capital, if you dislike these troubles, it will only be more troublesome if you have no one to help you deal with them when the time comes. ”

Shen Mourning is still admonishing, the young man has a high spirit, but this is not Qingyang Prefecture, and the capital has never been tolerant.

"I know, let's see who will come to visit today, and tomorrow I will come to the door one by one, and the gifts I need will probably need to be bothered to be offered. ”

Gu Chang'an said.

He is not as arrogant as the children of those wealthy families, and he also knows what Shen Mourning said.

"It's a trivial matter, it will take a few days for the Holy Lord to summon me, and there shouldn't be assassinations or anything in the next few days, but what Jingguan is best at is not licking blood with a blade, but killing people, you must be careful. ”

Gu Changan nodded, if his combat power can dominate the capital, but when it comes to killing people, he thinks that he is ashamed of himself in front of the great conspirators who have been up and down in these temples for decades.

It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain.

These conspirators have a variety of means to kill people, and they can't be prevented, and if they are not careful, I am afraid that they will really hate it.

"I'll go down and take charge of tomorrow's gift list, Xiaocao is shining on the side, don't look at his kid usually doesn't speak, but he still has a few connections in the capital. ”

After Shen Mian finished speaking, he waited until Gu Changan nodded in agreement before turning his head and leaving.

These tedious affairs are much more tiring than killing.

After Shen Mourning left, the whole room seemed a little clean, but it wouldn't be long before the place was full of people.

Gu Changan sighed and said leisurely.

"It's really not easy to live in the capital. ”

......

Outside the drunken immortal residence, not far away is Desheng Fang, where some wealthy nobles live, among which the family close to the inner is now no less festive than the New Year.

It's just because the eldest young master, who has suffered at the border all year round, has finally returned!

"Cao Yun! your kid has been out for a few years, and in the blink of an eye, he has grown taller, but he has also become darker, which makes Brother Wei a little unrecognizable. ”

A middle-aged man with a big belly patted the shoulder of the small spoon and smiled, and the wives and concubines who followed behind him were already in groups of three or five, and they were thriving.

"Big brother, I don't have you at home, no, I came back to take a look, and sure enough, even my mother and father have gained a lot of weight. ”

Cao Yun said with a smile, although he has been forced to stay in the border area over the years, he has indeed suffered a lot of wind and frost outside, and he has also learned a lot of truths.

"You kid has really grown up, I still remember that you didn't know how to write your own name before, Cao Yun wrote it as Cao Spoon, and since then there has been a nickname for Little Spoon. ”

The middle-aged man smiled, quite relieved.

"This time I went home, I won't leave. ”

Cao Yun said with a smile, after many years of wandering, how can there be a reason to be homeless.

"It's okay, my father got an errand, he is a little yellow door squire, you also know that this errand is a beautiful errand, how many people have broken their heads have not been found, with your knowledge, you will not be able to enter the cabinet in the future......"

"No, big brother, I don't want to enter officialdom. ”

Before the man could finish speaking, Cao Yun interrupted.

"I came back this time to learn talismans. ”

"Learn the talisman?" The man was stunned for a moment, and then his face was a little unkind, "Have you forgotten the ancestral precept of our Cao family? Don't step into the talisman path, our Cao family has suffered enough losses in the past?

When Cao Yun heard this, he was silent for a long time, and said, "In those days at the border, I met an old general, and he told me that there would be nobles to help me when I went home at this time, and if I went the way forward, maybe I could restore the glory of the Cao family to its former glory." ”

"Hmph! It's nonsense! Runes are also half a grandmaster in my Cao family, but what about later?!After all, your arms can't twist your thighs, and if you learn this subtle way, you will always become a stepping stone for others!"

The man hated that iron could not be made of steel.

The family has favored his younger brother since he was a child, so he will be sent to the border and leave him at home to do business.

And now that he has returned from his experience at the border gate, he did not hesitate to use a large number of veins to get him a position as a small waiter of the Yellow Gate.

Seeing that one of his brothers was surging in the mall, and the other was expected to enter the cabinet and stand firm in the temple, but the latter came to learn runes at this time.

Isn't this all the happiness and suffering going down the drain?

"You used to mess around, big brother, you were young and ignorant, but now you have experienced a lot outside, why are you still so willful?"

"Big Brother ......"

The two brothers were silent at the same time, and the festive atmosphere around them also fell silent.

"Let him go. ”

As soon as a deep voice appeared, it was an old man with a white beard who went out.

"Daddy!"

Cao Yun hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, tears rolled in his eyes, and he couldn't see his father's face clearly.

I haven't seen him for many years, I'm dark, and my father is old.

When the wanderer returned home, he was mostly emotional.

"Eh, Yun'er, you have also grown up and have your own ideas, if you really want to step into this way...... neither does the Father hinder him. ”

"Thank you, father!"

Cao Yun's heart warmed, and the tears in his eyes were a little hot.

"Hmm...... Don't be busy being happy yet, but our Cao family has ancestral teachings after all, if you want to learn the runes...... The gate of the Cao family, you can't enter...... Do you understand?"
