Xu Jie looked at the plaque of the mansion again and asked: "Lucky ask, is this the home of the Minister of the Secretariat Li?"

The servant who was swaying with an iron ruler raised his head, showing the different pride of the servants of the senior officials' family, and answered: "That's right, why are you here?"

Xu Jie took out the letter from his bag and handed it on it, and said, "I'm sorry to hand over this letter to Mr. Li in front of him. Mr. Li read the letter and then decided."

The servant received the letter but was not embarrassed. Although this servant had a different kind of pride, he was not as arrogant as a person. Because in the capital, there were too many capable people, even high-ranking officials from the second rank should be cautious. So this servant obviously knew that he should restrain himself in general.

There are actually other reasons here. Xu Jie came alone, looking like he was naked, and he was also a young Confucian scholar with a handsome face. He also taught this servant not to guess his identity. Moreover, after taking out the letter, Xu Jie was extremely confident in his words. If Xu Jie came with a bag of small bags, he looked like he was asking for help, although this servant would not make any trouble, he would also say a few hints and earn some extra money.

In this regard, the janitors of these two ministers' families are not as high-profile as those servants from other landlords. If they are the masters' families in one county and one state, most of the servants are not as easy to talk to.

"Wait, let me go in and ask." The servant handed the iron ruler in his hand to the people around him, and then took the letter to the door. The iron ruler in his hand was actually an iron plate without sharp blades, and could also be used as a weapon for fighting. But the servant was obviously not trying to fight with others, but just a posture.

Xu Jie, who had already prepared some money to send the servant from the official family, was also a little surprised to see that the servant was spreading him without giving him money. He was also worried in his heart while standing at the door waiting. It was also the first time Xu Jie came to visit such a high-ranking official. He was a little nervous and even a little afraid of being unwelcome. In fact, to put it bluntly, he was afraid that things would not be as good as Ouyang Zheng said.

Not long after, the servant walked out quickly again, bowed slightly to Xu Jie, and then said, "Please please, my master, wait in the small hall."

Xu Jie saw the servant showing a little respectful attitude. He had lost a lot of worries just now. The servant's attitude changes sometimes represent some things.

Xu Jie followed the servant into the gate, not looking around the left and right all the way, but walked along the way to a small door next to the hall. The servant stopped and said, "Master, the person has been brought here."

There was only a word coming from the door: "Come in."

The servant raised his hand and asked. Before Xu Jie opened the door slightly, Xu Jie stepped in. The hall was elegant and there were many calligraphy and paintings on the left and right walls. The seats and tables were extremely particular. The carved patterns on it were exquisite and extraordinary. You could even smell some faint fragrance, which was not like ordinary incense, but a faint smell of agarwood. Most of the agarwood smell came from agarwood. I think the furniture and wood in this small hall must be extremely valuable.

Xu Jie glanced at the man in front of him. He was only wearing regular clothes, slightly fat, with a rosy complexion and not much white hair. He looked younger than Ouyang Zheng, but Xu Jie knew that this man was about the same age as Ouyang Zheng.

"Student Xu Wenyuan, pay homage to Mr. Li." Xu Jie bowed respectfully.

Then Li Zhi laughed and said, "Are you Ouyang Zheng's student?"

Xu Jie frowned slightly when he heard this and replied, "That's right."

Why did Xu Jie frown? Because this was the first time Xu Jie heard someone calling Ouyang Zheng Daming directly, and he was a little uncomfortable with it.

"Ouyang Zheng's letter said that you have something important to ask for when you come to visit, but I don't know what it is?" Li Zhi sat in the seat, picked up the teacup on the coffee table and drank it lightly.

Xu Jie suddenly hesitated when he heard this. When Li Zhi spoke, he called Ouyang Zhengming's attitude. Xu Jie had a bad impression. He felt that Li Zhi was not so grateful to Ouyang Zheng, who had been a teacher for more than ten years, and even lacked a lot of respect.

If you have a little respect, you can't just call it Ouyang Gong, or call it Ouyang Brother, or call it Ouyang Zheng, the word "Daojian" that has not been called for in a long time. However, Li Zhi said twice, calling it Ouyang Zheng directly.

While Xu Jie was hesitating, Li Zhi seemed to see something, and smiled again: "Looking at your posture, I think I am embarrassed to speak, but Ouyang Zheng asked me to take care of you in the capital? This is easy to say. You should prepare for the exam well. If you pass the Jinshi, come and find me again. If you have any vacancies at that time, I will discuss with the Shangguan again. If you can speak, you will be lucky."

Just as Li Zhi said, when Xu Jie hesitated, Li Zhi had already guessed why Xu Jie came from, but he was just going to Beijing to prepare for the exam and wanted to take a chance. In Li Zhi's opinion, Xu Jie's hesitation was just in person and embarrassed to speak. Li Zhi has seen such scenes too many times.

When Xu Jie heard these words, his senses became much worse. He hesitated and decided to bow and bow again: "Thank you, Mr. Li."

"Well, if you work hard, Ouyang Zheng likes you so much, I think you are not bad. Is there any luck? Let's talk about it then?" Li Zhi encouraged him.

Xu Jie was also thinking too much that the Secretariat Secretariat, the highest official position in the Secretariat, is also divided into the left and right ministers, and the court meetings are also arranged in the second row below the emperor. Arrange a new Jinshi and a small position in the seventh rank official position. Whether it is a small official outside or a walk in the three provinces, it should be no problem and it will not take much face.

But Li Zhi said that he looked at the luck at that time. Although he did not mean to refuse, he seemed a little worried. Although Xu Jie was not here to ask for this, after hearing Li Zhi's words, he felt that it was the right thing to not take out Ouyang Zheng's memorial.

Because compared to arranging a small official position for a new Jinshi, it is no longer a matter of giving memorials to Ouyang Zheng, the "criminal official" who angered the emperor, but is mixed with some unpredictable risks. Giving the memorial to Mr. Li is afraid that the memorial will come to him, and it is probably impossible to think of the emperor in front of him.

Xu Jie sighed, made up his mind, and bowed less seriously: "Thank you, Mr. Li, so the student will leave first."

Li Zhi raised his hand when he heard this: "Okay, you will also send a letter to Ouyang Zheng, and said that I took this matter to heart, and it would be worthy of his friendship with my classmates."
