"The chief assistant is early! The students have not heard of the chief assistant just now, so I hope the chief assistant will forgive me if I am rude!

The Prime Minister was concerned about it and was grateful to the Prime Minister. He invited Doctor Liu to go to his home for treatment. My father's health had improved a lot! Doctor Liu left the prescription and told him that as long as he took the medicine according to the prescription, his father would recover as before in more than a month!

The chief assistant has a kindness, and the students cannot repay you! After the payment is paid today, I should come to my door to thank you in person!”

Hearing Wen Tiren's voice, Li Huanxiu hurriedly put down the rag in his hand and bowed to the ground with a look of gratitude.

"Haha, just a few trivial matters, there is no need to come to the door, just be careful. The threshold for my husband's family is very high. In the past few years, there have been almost no official scholars who have stepped in! Hahahaha!"

After showing off all morning, Lao Wen was in a very good mood, and he was close to Li Huanxiu, so he made a rare joke in his words.

"The first assistant's kindness to the students will never be repaid. The first assistant has to send something away, and the students are willing to break into pieces!"

Hearing Wen Tiren say this, Li Huanxiu did not insist on it anymore, but just bowed to the ground to thank him again.

This kind of thanks is not only for this home consultation, but also for Wen Tiren's daily care for him.

"Diligent use does not require much politeness. Apart from the friendship between you and me, as an elder, I should also take care of you young talents.

What's more, the actions you do in daily life are quite desirable, whether public or private. Buddhism talks about cause and effect. The so-called cause is a person's daily behavior, and the result is the final gain. I just hope to work hard to consistently do what I do during the day, and then I will live up to my expectations!"

Wen Tiren said as he came to the big case and sat down, picked up the fragrant tea and took a sip. Li Huanxiu turned around to face Wen Tiren, bowed slightly, and waited for Wen Tiren's next teachings.

Wen Tiren had heard that Li Huanxiu, who was over thirty years old, was a local person in the capital. His ancestors also had several intermediate officials. His family had wealth and connections, but later his Chinese style was not prosperous. No one had won the test for decades. By Li Huanxiu's generation, he became a land where he could not even make a fortune in a juren.

After failing many tests, Li Huanxiu completely gave up on his career. Last year, he spent money to ask someone to join the cabinet and worked as a clerk. He also wanted to make it nicer, but he didn't care about his salary.

What Li Huanxiu could make Wen Tiren look at him differently is not only his usual diligence and dedication, but his pragmatic and steady work style and attitude. This is very similar to his second son Wen Kan. Neither of these two people is as literati as a sour spirit. Such characteristics are exactly what the emperor likes.

Unfortunately, the two of them have neither high education, especially Li Huanxiu, who is not even a candidate. Otherwise, they could have cultivated it carefully.

Wen Tiren thought so in his heart, and the meaning in this aspect was inevitably revealed in his words: "What ambition do you have to do diligently? We are those who read books of sages, so we should take it as our responsibility to obtain fame and serve the king. Now that the autumn examination of Shuntian Prefecture is about to be imminent, why don't I see you studying hard every day? If you have a motivated heart, I can especially allow you to go home and work hard, and then consider it according to the facts after the autumn examination."

In Wen Tiren's words, the meaning of trying to promote Li Huanxiu is very obvious. In fact, the purpose of his doing so is also for future plans.

Although the second son Wen Kan has achieved certain achievements, his name has been recorded by the emperor. Now he is still taking care of himself in the court. If he achieves some political achievements within a few years, he can use his power to promote and use it.

But Wen Tiren knew in his heart that because he had no allies in the court, after resigning in a few years, Wen Kan would appear to be alone in the court, and his future would be difficult to tell.

However, he asked him to put down the face and self-esteem of the prime minister and deliberately please the court officials in order to leave some connections for his son in his career, and Lao Wen felt that he could not lose face.

Because of his poor reputation among the Scholars, the people who passed the examination were unwilling to have too much interaction with him. Those people would not help Wen Kan if they had a future in the future. They were the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, and they would not be able to put down their figure and curry favor with these young men in the officialdom, and they could not promote everywhere that they wanted to recruit students, so these two things were basically blocked.

Now he can only settle for the second best, find a few reliable and capable assistants for his son, and be able to help his son achieve outstanding political achievements. In this way, before he retires in the future, he can raise Wen Kan's grade to a few levels, which is also a fulfillment of his responsibilities and obligations as a father.

Whether in terms of character or ability, Li Huanxiu is a useful person. If he can achieve some academic success, he can bring him into the Sinong Temple to serve as his son's subordinate, and can help his son with his advice and work errands. In this way, his son can not only run less, but also make no less contribution.

"Students, thank you for the Prime Minister's advice, just."

Li Huanxiu smiled bitterly and continued, "The students studied hard for more than ten years, but failed the exams and were discouraged. He really felt ashamed of the prime minister's sincere expectations for the students. Think about it carefully, the students are really shameless to face the prime minister every day!"

Li Huanxiu bowed and bowed again and replied.

Of course, he could hear what Wen Tiren said, but years of practice have proved that he really lacked some talent in his studies. If he continues to learn, he is just wasting time and money.

"Well, since that's the case, that's fine."

After Wen Tiren said that, he sighed secretly, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"I only feel that I am diligent in my daily duties, and there are no mistakes in the things assigned by the cabinet ministers, which shows that I still have some abilities. However, although the path to procuring an official is much wider, fame and fortune are still the most important way.

I am willing to promote you, but this student's fame is indeed worse. If he is forced to promote, he may be lucky enough to be promoted. I can only do nothing!”

Li Huanxiu could feel Wen Tiren's disappointment. In addition to being ashamed, he mustered up the courage to politely say, "Report to the chief assistant, students are really interested in the secrets of scriptures. What students read during the day is mainly miscellaneous books, and they are quite attentive to these paths such as investigating things and learning. On weekdays, they also make some gadgets at home to make fun of children at home.

Since this is the case, the students have made a heartless request. If the chief assistant intends to help, the students will be very grateful!"

"Oh? I never thought that diligent recitation had such a hobby, haha! It's okay to ask for it!"

Wen Tiren was immediately interested when he heard this.

He knew that Zhu Youjian did not like those officials who read the scriptures hard. He usually expressed his strong interest in practical talents, whether in the court or in private, and tried every means to promote these talents to take on important responsibilities in various ways, both openly and secretly.

That Jiangxi Song Heizi is a typical example.

Before the court officials knew it, the emperor had already promoted Song Yingxing, a juren, to a high position in the fourth rank. Wen Tiren vaguely heard that the next step was that the emperor was going to let Song Yingxing take office as the chief minister of the Ministry of Works. That was the high position in the third rank, which was a height that many Jinshi would never reach in their lifetime.

The emperor's actions were actually in line with Wen Tiren's wishes. His son was also a juren, and with Song Yingxing's previous example, as long as Wen Kan worked hard, he might not be able to reach this position in the future.

"Students have long heard that Song Shaoqing of the Siong Temple has been very accomplished in the matter of investigating things. Can you ask the Master of the Pavilion to recommend it to the students? Students ask Song Shaoqing in person for some things!"
