Chapter 705 Silence is golden

After Yan Song, Zhao Wenhua, who was the nominal master, also gave Zhu Pingan a congratulatory gift, which was a She inkstone from Shexian County, Anhui Province, which was very valuable. , Desolate in play" reason.

Zhu Ping'an is very grateful.

In about a minute or two, someone outside the door announced that the scribe had delivered the memorial presented by the Secretary of General Administration today.

Zhu Ping'an consciously got up and said goodbye. During this trip, he harvested a poem by Yan Song and a She inkstone.

After Zhu Pingan came out of Yan Song's office room, he was surprised to find that besides Li Chunfang, there were also several officials on duty in Wuyi Hall, all of whom were staring at him with fierce eyes. The eyes were a little creepy, and Zhu Pingan couldn't help himself. Trembling all over, I felt like a monkey in a zoo, surrounded by people watching.

"Ahem, Ping'an has met all of you adults. It's the first time we meet, and I hope you will give me more advice in the future." Zhu Ping'an was stunned, and then he cupped his hands and greeted several officials onlookers.

"It's easy to say, easy to say."

Several officials returned the salute to Zhu Pingan with strange expressions, exchanged a few simple greetings, and left hand in hand.

After leaving, several officials whispered to each other not far away, and occasionally looked at Zhu Ping'an.

The sound is very small and cannot be heard.

However, Zhu Ping'an can lip language, can read their conversation, and then smiled speechlessly, so that's what happened.

"It's not very good, it looks a little silly."

"Yeah, I don't see how special it is. Why did Shoufu keep him for so long?"

"It seems that this year's Enke is not very good. This kid has become the number one scholar."

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. I just stayed in Yan Song's office building for a while, so I was jealous.

In other words, you guys are too hasty to be jealous.

I was trembling every minute in Yan Song's office room. Both Yan Song and Zhao Wenhua had been in the political circles of the Ming Dynasty for decades, and the true thoughts in their hearts would never be reflected on the surface. Don't look at their kind faces, like the elders next door, who knows what they think in their hearts.

Actually, the more gentle they laughed, the more trembling Zhu Pingan became.

Dealing with big shots of their level, as long as you make a small mistake, you will only have GG.

Li Chunfang, who was waiting outside the door, explained to Zhu Ping'an with a smile, "In the past, the new officials on duty at Wuyi Hall always came to visit the chief assistant first, but everyone came out after about a cup of tea. He has been kept by the chief assistant for so long. Therefore, everyone is a little curious about who Zihou is."

Although Zhu Pingan knew what was going on by reading his lips just now, he still listened to Li Chunfang finished speaking, made a surprised expression, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Everyone is really thinking too much, I just met the teacher at Yan Shoufu's place. Mr. Zhao Wenhua, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao was the promotion officer of our Nanzhili last year, and he also presided over the scientific examination before the provincial examination. That's why we talked a lot."

"Hehe, Zihou doesn't need to think too much, they are just curious." Li Chunfang smiled slightly.

Zhu Ping'an thought about the lip language he had just read, and nodded with the corners of his lips hooked.

"Zi Hou, this is the room of Mr. Lu Ben Lu Ge. I have already gone in to ask Mr. Lu Ge for instructions. You can just go in after Zi Hou." Li Chunfang led Zhu Pingan forward for a few meters, and arrived at another office. In front of the room, he signaled Zhu Pingan to go in and visit Lu Ben Lu Ge.

Zhu Pingan thanked Li Chunfang, and then stepped into the room to visit Elder Lu Ge. Just like visiting Yan Song, Zhu Pingan also paid respects to Lu Ben.

In the room, Lu Ben is a hale and hearty old man.

He is already over fifty years old, not much younger than Yan Song. He wears a fragrant leaf crown on his head, and his white hair is neatly tied, but there are some age spots on his face. His eyes are deep-set but deep and bright, and he looks hale and hearty.

Lu Ben was more dignified, unsmiling, with a condescending sense of superiors, some officials interviewed Zhu Pingan, asked some basic questions about Zhu Pingan's writing and calligraphy, what he was good at, etc., and gave Zhu Pingan a folding fan, which he quickly served Tea is served.

Zhu Pingan bid farewell wisely and left.

Zhu Ping'an's visit came out relatively quickly this time, within less than a cup of tea time, the officials who were jealous of Zhu Ping'an before saw this, smiled at each other, and whispered.

"That's right, that's how it should be."

"Well, let me just say that this kid is nothing special."

Zhu Pingan glanced at them and smiled speechlessly.

The next person I'm going to visit is the last boss in the cabinet, who is also the newly-promoted elder. This old elder Zhu Ping'an is very familiar with him.

After Zhu Ping'an entered, before he had time to salute, Xu Jie kindly pulled his arm and pushed him onto the chair.

Different from the kindness of Yan Song and Zhao Wenhua, Yan Zhao's kindness makes people feel pressured, while Xu Jie's kindness makes people feel very comfortable, like spring breeze.

"Zihou is here, sit down and talk. Well, what kind of tea do you like to drink, Longjing, Maojian or Biluochun?" Xu Jie asked with a slight smile,

"Thank you, teacher. You don't need to bother anymore. The students will drink whatever the teacher drinks." How dare to ask the teacher to make tea, Zhu Pingan stood up with a smile, and took the teapot from Xu Jie, feeling that the teapot was warm and still inside. When there was tea, he poured a cup of tea for Xu Jie and poured another cup for himself.

After pouring, Zhu Pingan added some hot water to the teapot and put it on the coffee table.

"Zi Hou, I have been to Mr. Yan Ge and Mr. Lu Ge just now." Xu Jie asked.

"Back to the teacher, the students visited Yan Ge and Lu Ge first, and the teacher who came last." Zhu Pingan nodded and replied.

"Well, Mr. Yan Ge and Mr. Lu Ge are both cabinet elders. Needless to say, other officials in Wuyi Palace are also seniors, and all of them are more experienced than you. Zi Hou, don't be smart about yourself. I will ask them Learn more." Xu Jie nodded and said slowly.

"Students understand." Zhu Pingan replied.

"Well, you have to remember that the cabinet is an important place for maintenance, and all aspects of the entire Ming Dynasty are gathered here. Here, you have to watch more, listen more, learn more, and do more. When you encounter something you don't understand, ask, and always Ask until you understand, if other officials can't answer, you can come to me, don't be afraid of shame, you are still young, it's normal if you don't understand, and you will make people laugh if you don't understand. In this Wuyi Temple, the brain, ear Your eyes, mouth, nose, hands, and feet should be more diligent, and you will benefit a lot." Xu Jie nodded, and earnestly taught Zhu Pingan to cherish this opportunity to be on duty in the cabinet.

"Students remember the teacher's teachings."

Zhu Ping'an nodded seriously, and thanked Xu Jie from the bottom of his heart. Xu Jie's teachings were very practical, and made Zhu Ping'an understand what to do when he was on duty in Wuyi Hall.

"One thing you have to remember is that you have to watch more, listen more, learn more, do more, and ask more, but you must not be cautious. You understand what I said." Xu Jie looked at Zhu Ping'an and said .

"Students understand that silence is golden." Zhu Pingan nodded.

"Silence is golden, huh, huh, um, it's common sense, as long as you understand it." Hearing this, Xu Jie played with the words silence is golden, smiled and nodded with satisfaction. My eyes lit up.
