Following Yan Song, as the nominal master of Zhao Wenhua also gave a gift to Zhu Pingan, is a party in Anhui Shexian Sheyan inkstone, worth a lot of money, encouraging Zhu Pingan although newlyweds, do not forget the “industry in the diligence, wasted in the play” reasoning.
Zhu Pingan thanked him.
Just a minute or two or so, someone outside the door to inform, the clerk sent today’s General Secretary to submit the folders.
Zhu Pingan consciously got up to say goodbye, this trip harvested a Yan Song’s poetry and a side inkstone.
Zhu Pingan from Yan Song office room out, some unexpected now outside the door in addition to Li Chunfang, there are a number of officials with the same duty in the Hall of No Ease, all eyes like a torch staring at their own eyes, this eyes are a little creepy, Zhu Pingan involuntarily shivering, feel like a monkey in the zoo, surrounded by people to see.
“Cough cough, Ping An has met all of you, first time meeting, I hope you will give me more guidance in the future.”Zhu Pingan had a confused look on his face, following which he arched his hand and saluted the few officials surrounding him.
“Well said, well said.”
A few officials with somewhat strange faces returned Zhu Pingan’s salute, and after two sentences of simple pleasantries and introductions, they left hand in hand.
After leaving, the several officials whispered and exchanged words not far away, occasionally looking twice towards Zhu Pingan’s side.
The voices were so small that they could not be heard.
However, Zhu Pingan knew lip-sync and could read their dialogue, then smiled breathlessly, so that’s how it was.
“It’s not that good, it still looks a bit naive.”
“Yeah, didn’t see much special ah, auxiliary how to keep him for so long.”
“It seems that this session of the Enke colour is not good, this kid have done the first prize.”
……
Where there are people there are rivers and lakes ah, oneself but in Yan Song office room establishment stayed a little more, this will be people jealous on.
That is to say, you guys are jealous of is also too hasty it.
I am in Yan Song office room but every minute every moment with fear and trembling, Yan Song and Zhao Wenhua two people are Ming political circle crawling and rolling for decades of the old actor, the heart of the real idea is absolutely not react on the surface, don’t look at them on the face and kind, such as the neighbouring elders, who knows how they think in the heart.
In fact, the more they smile gently, Zhu Pingan is more trembling.
Dealing with a big man of their level, as long as one small mistake is made, one will only be gg.
Li Chunfang, who was waiting outside the door, smiled and explained to Zhu Pingan, ”In the past, the new officials who went to the Wuji Hall to be on duty, every time, they came to visit the auxiliary first, but they all came out after only about a cup of tea, and the only ZiHou was left by the auxiliary for such a long time. Therefore, everyone is somewhat curious as to where Zi Hou is from.”
Even though Zhu Pingan had just read his lips to know what was going on, he still made a surprised expression as he listened to Li Chunfang, then shook his head and laughed bitterly, “Everyone is really overthinking it, I just met the seat master Zhao Wenhua Zhao Daolord at Yan Fu’s place, and Daolord Zhao was our southern Zhili’s mentioning officer last year, and he also presided over the imperial exams before the township exams. So, that’s why I talked more.”
“Hehe, Zi Hou need not think too much, they are just curious for a while.”Li Chunfang smiled faintly.
Zhu Pingan thought about the lip reading he had just done and nodded with the corners of his lips hooked.
“Zi Hou, this side is the room of Cabinet Master Lu Ben Lu, just now I have already gone in to ask for instructions from Cabinet Master Lu, Zi Hou and can go in.”Li Chunfang guided Zhu Pingan forward a few metres to another office room, gesturing for Zhu Pingan to go in and pay a visit to Cabinet Master Lu Ben Lu.
Zhu Pingan thanked Li Chunfang and then stepped into the room to visit Lv Ben, as he did with Yan Song, Zhu Pingan also bowed to Lv Ben.
Inside the room, Lv Ben was a hale and hearty old man.
He has long been over half a hundred years old, not much smaller than Yan Song, head wearing incense leaf crown, white bundle is very neat, but the face is some age spots, eyes deep but deep and bright, looks hale and hearty.
Lv Ben is more dignified, unsmiling, with the condescending sense of the superior, some official received Zhu Pingan, asked some Zhu Pingan calligraphy, good at what things and other basic questions, sent Zhu Pingan a folding fan, and soon will be serving tea to send off the guests.
Zhu Ping’an was smart enough to say goodbye and leave.
Zhu Pingan this visit out relatively quickly, less than a tea time, before the jealous Zhu Pingan the few officials, see, look at each other a smile, whispered.
“That’s right, that’s how it should be.”
“Well, I told you that this kid is nothing special.”
……
Zhu Pingan swept a glance at them and laughed breathlessly.
The next person to visit was the last big brother in the cabinet, and also the newly promoted Pavilion Master not long ago, this Pavilion Master Zhu Pingan was more than familiar with, it was Zhu Pingan’s Seat Master – Lord Xu Shi Xu.
After Zhu Pingan entered the door, before he had time to salute, he was cordially pulled by the arm and pressed into the chair by Xu Shi.
It was not the same as Yan Song and Zhao Wenhua’s cordiality, Yan Zhao’s cordiality put people under pressure, while Xu Shi’s cordiality was comfortable, like a frothy spring breeze.
“Zi Hou is here, quickly sit down and talk. Well, what kind of tea do you like to drink, Longjing, Maojian or Bi Luochun.”Xu Hui asked with a slight smile.
“Many thanks teacher. No need to bother anymore, whatever the teacher drinks, the student will drink.”How dare you dare to let the teacher make tea, Zhu Pingan smiled and got up, took the teapot from Xu step’s hand, felt that the teapot was warm and there was still tea inside, so he poured a cup of tea for Xu step, and poured a cup of tea for himself.
After pouring, Zhu Pingan added some hot water to the teapot and placed it on the coffee table.
“Zi Hou, just went to Pavilion Master Yan and Pavilion Master Lu.”Xu Yi asked.
“Back to teacher, student first went to visit Pavilion Master Yan and Pavilion Master Lu before finally coming here to teacher.”Zhu Pingan nodded his head and returned.
“Well, Pavilion Elder Yan and Pavilion Elder Lu are both long-time Cabinet veterans, needless to say, the other officials in the Hall of No Ease are also veterans, which are more experienced than you, Zi Hou do not hold yourself to be smart, in the future, you should learn more from them.”Xu Yi nodded and slowly said.
“Student understands.”Zhu Pingan said back.
“Well, you have to remember, the cabinet is a heavy place of opportunity, every aspect of the entire Daming is brought together here. Here, you have to see more, listen more, learn more, do more, ask when you don’t understand, keep asking until you figure it out, if other officials can’t answer, you come to me, don’t be afraid to be ashamed, you’re still young, it’s normal to not understand, it’s only when you don’t know what you don’t know that you’ll cause people to make fun of you. In this Wu Yi Hall, brain, ears, eyes, mouth, nose, hands and feet should be more diligent, you will benefit a lot.”Xu Shi nodded, earnestly teaching Zhu Pingan to cherish this opportunity to man the cabinet.
“Student honours teacher’s teachings.”
Zhu Pingan nodded earnestly, thanking Xu Shi from the bottom of his heart, Xu Shi’s teachings were very pragmatic, allowing Zhu Pingan to understand what to do when on duty in this Wuji Hall.
“There is one thing you have to remember, here you have to see more, listen more, learn more, do more, ask more,, but never be careful with your words. What I said, do you understand.”Xu Xiang looked at Zhu Pingan and said.
“Student understands, silence is golden.”Zhu Pingan nodded his head and said.
“Silence is gold, huh, well, the words are vulgar and straight, it’s good that you understand.”Xu step sniffs, toying with the four words silence is gold, satisfied smile and nodded, this student of his will always make his eyes shine.
