Bai Minghe looked through the prayer letter sent by Peng Shi, and I have to say that Peng Shi's writing is much better than himself. Even if he practices hard for a few years, he may not be able to be at this level.

Who is Peng Shi?

Bai Minghe didn't know yet, but he still planned to find a way to inquire and make a decision.

Put down Peng Shi's greetings, Bai Minghe wrote an invitation, and then wrote another letter. Then he called Sun Hu into the study.

"I'll send a message to Ye Qianhu, the Jinyiwei. After seeing Ye Qianhu, if he asks him why he is asked to pass by the mansion in the evening, he will say it for Peng Shi. But don't mention it in front of outsiders, just tell him alone. Do you understand?"

Bai Minghe explained carefully.

After all, Sun Hu is only fifteen years old, and less than sixteen young men are still a teenager.

Sun Hu knew the words, looked at the letter and nodded vigorously, opened the cloth bag on his body, and placed the cloth bag in it.

Bai Minghe took out another letter: "For this letter, go to my second uncle's mansion and ask him to reply to me!"

"Sun Hu knows, don't worry, son-in-law. I can still handle this little thing." Sun Hu took the job from Bai Minghe and ran to Sun Yuanjun to ask for a bunch of money. This was not errand money, but fear that if there was something along the way, he would always feel at ease if he had some money on his body.

Bai Minghe sent Sun Hu to do business, and then he fell on the couch in the study to rest.

At this time, Peng Shi was in a restaurant where he was a senior, and invited several fellow graduates from Luling to have the identities of seniors. He encouraged these juniors to be able to pass the imperial examination for high school Jinshi.

In the Ming Dynasty, in the same year, fellow villagers were very close to each other.

Peng Shi was the top scorer in the previous record, and this identity was worshipped by these candidates who took the exam.

While Peng Shi was talking about his principles and making a statement, a servant from the Peng family came and whispered a few words. Peng Shi immediately smiled on his face, stood up and clasped his fists: "Everyone, today's hospitality is different. I must rush there immediately. Everyone, say goodbye!"

Peng Shi seemed to have no talent for this sentence, but another man in the butler's uniform at the door sank his face.

When Peng Shi came out, the butler smiled again and bowed with his fists. Peng Shi just nodded calmly, reached out and pointed forward, signaling his servant to prepare the car, and then smiled at the butler: "Don't let the merchant wait anxiously."

In Shanglu Mansion, the housekeeper asked Peng Shi to wait outside the door and go in and report it himself.

"Master, Peng has compiled it! It's just that he smells a little drunk. When I went to invite him, he was having a banquet for his fellow villagers. He also specifically mentioned that it was the master who wanted to summon him, and his words were too proud."

When Shang Lu heard this, he put down the pen in his hand: "You run away once and tell Editor Lu. Let me help me pay attention to Peng Shi's recent movements. This guy is too utilitarian. It makes me feel more and more uneasy."

"Yes, lord!" The housekeeper stepped down.

Yu Qian came out from behind the screen. After the two looked at each other, Shang Lu said, "Let me talk to him first!" Yu Qian nodded and retreated behind the screen.

Peng Shi entered the house and bowed: "I'll pay homage to Shang Fuchen!"

"Sit!" Shang Lu signaled to sit down, and soon a servant brought tea and placed it on the small table.

Before Peng Shi could speak, Shang Lu said directly: "After the examination, the officials in the capital will have some adjustments. There will be some state prefectures in the northwest and northeast."

At this point, Shang Lu stopped.

Peng Shi was stunned because he knew that he could be said that he was about to be promoted and would definitely be promoted in April. His best position was to be promoted to the Tongzhengyuan, at least a fourth-rank rank Tongzheng.

The worst is that he joined the Sixth Ministry. The Minister of the Secretariat is not at the level of his current position, but he has his own position in the Qingli Department.

But if he is released from outside, he can be appointed as an official and a fourth-rank official. He can't even get into a position like the governor, deputy position, or management of a single function. These are obviously a good way. No matter what, it is not so easy to leave the capital and come back.

Even if I come back, I still go around in a big circle.

At that time, I must not be able to enter the Tongzhengyuan, and there were only six ministries to choose from. So what if I give it to a minister? At that time, Shang Lu was probably the second auxiliary to the cabinet, and he might even become the chief auxiliary to the cabinet.

Peng Shi's forehead was already sweating, and he didn't know how to answer.

He refused openly, afraid that Shang Lu would be unhappy. But not rejecting would ruin his future, so Peng Shi was in a very difficult situation!

"Forget it, if you want to stay in the capital, just stay in the capital!" Shang Lu said this and slowly picked up the teacup. He stopped seeing Peng Shi, Peng Shi stood up and gave a gift and retreated with fear in his heart.

Until the servant came in to report that Peng Shi had left, Yu Qian stood up from behind the screen.

"What a pity, what a pity!" Yu Qian shook his head with some regret.

"It's no pity. This is the path he chose, so let's go by yourself. Peng Shi is not bad or evil, and he has righteousness in his heart and diligent work. The most valuable thing is that he is not greedy for money. But..." When Shang Lu said Dan, he sighed: "But he cares too much about fame and power."

Yu Qian smiled: "It's a pity that Peng Shi could have gone to the end."

"Why is it a pity?" Shang Lu asked.

"Let him leave the capital to hide from the storm and waves. He doesn't want to hide. Then it will test his ambition, a scholar who has reached the top and a top scholar who is still struggling to experience. I hope he can still keep the righteousness in his heart!" Yu Qian pointed out the key point directly.

Shang Lu understood, not only did he understand, but he also thought further because of Yu Qian's words.

On the other side, the Baiming He's mansion was almost evening when Sun Hu came back.

Sun Yuanjun was waiting for Bai Minghe to have dinner. As soon as Bai Minghe walked into the hall, he immediately turned around and left when he heard that Sun Hu had come back.

In the study, Bai Minghe first reads the information given by the Jinyiwei, which is very detailed, with all the records from the time of the scholar-in-law in Peng Shi to the present. He also gave a pertinent comment. It can be said that the Jinyiwei's comments are generally consistent with Shang Lu, and there is only one difference.

Ye Bao not only gave information, but also had a Jinyiwei commander. Based on his years of experience in politics, the analysis given by Peng Shi, if this person sat smoothly and sat at the position of the chief minister, he would most likely be a pillar.

However, this person cannot tolerate those who are stronger than him, so Peng Shi cannot be smooth sailing. So the conclusion is that Peng Shi will definitely change. Better is to develop in the direction of beautifying ministers and do something to curry favor with Shangguan for his own rights. If the worse ones, Peng Shi may go to a dangerous path to powerful ministers and form his own faction.

The commander of the Jinyiwei also added a special sentence at the end: Bai Minghe, you are destined to be a thorn in Peng Shi's side.

But this last sentence gives no reason.

Bai Minghe slowly put the information on the table, and then picked up the reply from his second uncle.

There are only three words in the letter.

hypocrite!

Bai Minghe smiled. Through this reply, he also gained some understanding of his second uncle. Pure serving the people is just an ideal, and Peng Shi would not regard this as an ideal.

I can only say that Peng Shi is a real and most realistic person.

Thinking of this, Bai Minghe packed up the table and got up to go to the hall for dinner. As a result, just as he opened the door of the study, he saw Sun Yuanjun holding a tray and about to knock on the door.

"Why did you bring it to me in person?" Bai Minghe was a little confused: "Don't there be many servants at home?"

Sun Yuanjun walked into the study and placed the tray on the table: "It has been almost an hour since my husband entered the study. I was afraid that Huaiyu would not be hungry, so I let her eat first. As for the servants, the servants in the family are qualified to enter the study. We are now the official family, and the husband's study is not allowed to approach at will."

Bai Minghe nodded. He is a modern person and he doesn't understand the rules here in the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, Bai Minghe didn't want to be so apart from other people's words like how to say that everyone is equal.

The Ming Dynasty had slaves, servants, and maids, which itself existed together with society. If the Ming Dynasty's society had not changed, then the Baiming He could only be a part of the society, and was definitely not an alternative weirdo.

Sun Yuanjun naturally had the final say in these things at home.

Bai Minghe wiped his hands with the cloth on Sun Yuanjun's tray and sat at the small table on the left side of the study. Sun Yuanjun took a glass of water to Bai Minghe before placing the meal, which was the water used to rinse his mouth. According to Sun Yuanjun, the Bai family is now a wealthy family, so naturally they should look like a wealthy family.

Bai Minghe picked up the cup and just took a sip of water in his mouth.

Sun Yuanjun, who was placing the bowl, said casually as if he was chatting: "Husband, I wonder if you will attack Huaiyu first, or Luhe first?"

Bour....

Bai Minghe squirted all the water on Sun Yuanjun's face.

Not only was Sun Yuanjun not angry, but kept a smile on his face: "It seems that my husband must have thought about this question?"

I'm so stupid, you're still lazy!

Bai Minghe's face changed: "The reason I sprayed water is that the birthmark on your face is fading."

"Ah!" A scream almost alarmed the entire Bai Mansion. Sun Yuanjun opened the door and ran out. She wanted to go back to the house to see if the color of the birthmark on her face had really dropped.

Bai Minghe held up the bowl calmly, and he was a little hungry.
