Chapter four hundred and twentieth five guests come to the door
Returning home from Wenyuan Pavilion, Lin Yanchao was in a state of ups and downs along the way.
Working in the cabinet is completely different from working in the Hanlin Academy.
You should know that although the cabinet is under the Hanlin Academy, it can actually be regarded as a yamen directly under the second-rank cabinet, while the Hanlin Academy is just a fifth-rank yamen. Compared with the official seal officer Chen Siyu and Zhang Juzheng of the yamen, the status of the two is extremely different.
In the general environment of official position, the official seal official in the yamen, that is, the top leader, can be said to be the power of life and death.
Therefore, when doing things under a high-powered and important minister like Zhang Juzheng, you must be cautious. If you are not careful and Zhang Juzheng thinks that you cannot be carved, then your career will be over from now on.
For example, Yu Zhongshu is a good example.
Of course, although you need to be cautious in the cabinet, opportunities are better than those in the Hanlin Academy. If you are really talented, you don’t have to worry about being buried. Zhang Juzheng and others are not blind. If you are really talented, you will definitely be appreciated.
For example, now, Zhang Juzheng really reuses himself.
So at this moment, Lin Yanchao also faced the negative emotions caused by the death of the Secretariat.
Opportunities and risks coexist. Is it not for me to second from the Hanlin Academy to the cabinet to do things for the sake of gain? As long as I see opportunities and ignore risks, it means that I did not have enough understanding before.
Lin Yanchao returned home. Before he could enter the room, he saw Yu Bo at the door shouting happily: "Master is back, Master is back!"
"Madam, Madam, the master is back."
Lin Yanchao smiled and walked into the room, but saw Lin Qianqian and the two maids greeting each other.
Lin Qianqian cried with joy and said, "My husband, you are finally back!"
Chen Jichuan and Zhan Ming heard that Lin Yanchao came back and also debuted together: "Master, is there nothing wrong?"
Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Yes, not only is it okay, it has cleared the grievances, but it has also been entrusted with important tasks."
The few people were overjoyed when they heard this, and Lin Qianqian blamed: "What is the important task? It is better to be safe than to study history in the Hanlin Academy."
Lin Yanchao smiled. He couldn't talk to Lin Qianqian anyway, so he would be careful after saying a few words.
Lin Yanchao made Lin Qianqian burst into tears and laughed. She said happily: "Since I'm back, I'll make you a few dishes from my hometown. I've seen you lose weight if you haven't been home for a few days."
Seeing Lin Qianqian's expression of distress, Lin Yanchao smiled and stroked her hair and said, "Okay."
Lin Qianqian immediately went to the kitchen with a smile. When the two maids Cui Zhu and Huaping were happy when they saw Lin Yanchao happy, they also smiled and said, "Master, let's go and help the wife."
OK, Lin Yanchao agreed and the two bowed.
"Master, I'll go to the entrance of the alley to buy wine and buy some braised boiled rice." Zhan Ming said.
Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Okay, having a few drinks tonight will also be considered a shock to everyone."
Everyone laughed.
As he said that, Zhan Ming put on his clothes and went there.
For the rest of the people, Lao Zhou said to kill a chicken, Yu Bo said to chop firewood, and Chen Jichuan set up tables and chairs.
Seeing everyone happy, Lin Yanchao suddenly felt warm. This is what home looks like.
After a sumptuous supper, Lin Qianqian brewed a pot of fragrant tea for Lin Yanchao, and sat down in the courtyard.
I heard the knock on the door outside.
The concierge Yu Bo entered and took a post to Lin Yanchao. Lin Yanchao read the post that was Gu Xiancheng, and immediately put on his clothes and went directly to the hall to welcome guests.
Gu Xiancheng is currently in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. He was originally going to be the head of the Ministry of Personnel, but by chance he was squeezed out. Although the Ministry of Revenue is not bad, it is inferior to the Ministry of Personnel after all.
Later, Lin Yanchao, the Jinshi who stayed in Beijing as an official in the same year, gathered several times, and Lin Yanchao and Gu Xiancheng became familiar with each other slowly.
After getting familiar with each other, Gu Xiancheng also visited Lin Yanchao for the second time. Lin Yanchao did not go to Gu Xiancheng's house to pay his respects last time due to the trouble. Therefore, Lin Yanchao and Gu Xiancheng had a good relationship. Although they were not as good as Ye Xianggao, Weng Zhengchun and others, they were better than ordinary friends.
Lin Yanchao went out, Gu Xiancheng came in a green robe, held it with one hand and stood under the steps, looking at a bright moon in the sky.
What a picture of a literati and elegant scholar.
After Gu Xiancheng met Lin Yanchao, his cold face immediately disappeared, and he smiled and bowed: "The bright moon is in the sky, which is a beautiful scenery, but I came to be a villain at night!"
Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Brother Nian, where are you talking? I happened to sweep the bed and the Prime Minister when you come."
Gu Xiancheng laughed a few times and said, "I can hear this in the past. Now you are valued as the chief assistant and I can't afford to be the assistant clerk to pardon the house!"
Lin Yanchao was stunned and thought to himself that Gu Xiancheng was beyond his expectations. Before he took office, he heard the news.
Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "This is still missing."
Gu Xiancheng said bluntly: "Why is there no shadow? Zong Hai is so unwilling to hide it even if I am. I am here to congratulate you today. If you don't tell me the truth, I will turn around and leave."
So Gu Xiancheng looked like he was walking out.
Lin Yanchao immediately grabbed Gu Xiancheng and said, "I thought Brother Nian came to me to enjoy the moon and talk about poetry. Let's talk in detail, isn't it okay?"
Seeing this, Gu Xiancheng nodded proudly and walked into the door with his hands behind his back.
After the two entered the house, Gu Xiancheng and Lin Yanchao talked about some of the recent situations of the same year and their official experiences.
Later, Gu Xiancheng said: "Zonghai, this time you assisted in the affairs of the East House, the several officials in the yamen knew about it, and they also asked me to congratulate you."
Lin Yanchao suddenly realized, what department is the cabinet? It is equivalent to the General Office of Seedling Planting Today. Not to mention the six departments, many officials in the capital are staring at it. Which yamen is in the cabinet? As for who are the several halls that Gu Xiancheng mentioned? Of course, they are the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Revenue. Even such a second-rank third-rank official had to ask Gu Xiancheng to make friends with him, which made Lin Yanchao suddenly expand.
Lin Yanchao suppressed his swelling mood and said modestly: "How dare you ask the Zong Bo to ask me, I'm just a temporary assistant to the east room, it's no big deal."
Gu Xiancheng was stunned when he heard this, narrowed his eyes and asked with a questioning question: "Is Zong Hai really not sure or fake? Although he is just an assistant manager of the east house, how many people in the capital will look at your face in the future, you actually..."
After hearing this, Lin Yanchao continued to pretend to be confused and asked, "What does it mean to look at your face? I am just an assistant manager. Do you want to ask Brother Nian what is the name of it?"
Gu Xiancheng heard this and said, "It's not convenient for me to tell you. Anyway, you will know as soon as you take office. By the way, these are the congratulatory etiquettes sent by several Dogmen. Please accept them first."
Gu Xiancheng took out a gift list from his sleeve and pushed it from the table to Lin Yanchao's sleeve with two fingers.
Lin Yanchao opened the gift list and saw that the hand was really not small, and he only took two thousand taels of silver. (To be continued.)
