With this rain, the weather suddenly became colder. This is the weather in early summer. The earth is not warm yet, and it is sunny and hard to bear the weather. However, as soon as the rain rinses, the cool air rises again.

Zhang Dayou ordered someone to set a pot of charcoal fire at the table, one for hot wine and the other for driving away the cold air.

After sitting for a while, the coolness that Xu Ping had in the rain gradually dissipated along the way, and his body began to feel warm, with a lazy feeling, and was particularly comfortable. Looking at the rain covering the flowers and trees in the back garden, the branches and leaves exuding intoxicating green, and they became more relaxed and happy. The scenery in the rain was a little softer and poetic.

A voice of salute and greeting came from his ears. Xu Ping turned his head and saw Wang Yan walking over with a dejected look.

I haven't seen each other for a few days, and Wang Yan seemed to have changed. His face was gray, his eyes were dull, and even his hair seemed a little gray, and he was listless. In this rainy weather, he seemed even more angry.

Thinking of Xu Ping's arrival in Sishui County just now, Wang Yan was still full of red face, full of fighting spirit, and had to challenge everything. In a short time, because of an accidental little thing, his spirit disappeared suddenly.

On the road of life, everything can go smoothly? Temporary setbacks and difficulties are always indispensable. People do not have the courage to face setbacks and the fighting spirit to overcome difficulties. No matter whether they are in the officialdom or where, how far can they go?

Xu Ping looked at Wang Yan's appearance and shook his head secretly. He was originally thinking about how to deal with Wang Yan if he continued to get entangled with him. Now, when he saw that he was completely wasted energy on him.

Zhang Dayou stood up, bowed to Wang Yan, and gave him to Xu Ping's lower head.

When he arrived at the table, Wang Yan sat down stupidly, and even forgot to greet Xu Ping.

This is an extremely unscrupulous thing. Xu Ping's official position is above him, and he is the master of this trip. Wang Yan's appearance has forgotten even the basic etiquette in the officialdom, which is very taboo. You should do whatever you ask others. Wang Yan has always made a point, so that Zhang Dayou, who was watching, had nothing to say.

Wang Yan didn't say hello to him, and Xu Ping had no reason to reason with him, just pretending not to see him.

Zhang Dayou ordered the miscellaneous officials on the side to pour wine for several people, and deliberately cleared his throat and said, "Deputy Envoy Wang, today Xu Waijian completed the geographical survey along the river and returned to Sishui County. The officials specially set up a banquet to celebrate!"

Wang Yan was stunned, raised his head and said in a daze: "Oh, have the survey been completed? That's fine."

After saying that, he continued to lower his head, not knowing what he was thinking, or he was not thinking about anything.

Seeing that Wang Yan had not realized that he was going to greet Xu Pingxing, Zhang Dayou had to bite the bullet and said, "Deputy Envoy Wang, Xu Waijian has worked hard all the way, how about we toast a glass of wine?"

"Okay, okay, that's right." Wang Yan said, picked up the cup and drank the wine with Zhang Dayou.

Zhang Dayou gave up and ignored Wang Yan. As far as he was concerned, Wang Yan had not noticed Xu Ping was sitting beside him and ignored the basic etiquette in the officialdom. Why should others care about his identity?

But he didn't know that Wang Yan was so sad that his mind was messy at this time, and he subconsciously decided that his luck was all because of Xu Ping. If he was not clear, he really subconsciously ignored Xu Ping.

Xu Ping really didn't know what to say. After all, he had been in the officialdom for so many years, but his desire for fame and fortune is still so strong. I don't know how he survived for so many years.

Neither pay attention to Wang Yan, Xu Ping and Zhang Dayou were drinking and talking about gossip. They were originally the same year, but before they knew it, ten years passed, the first echelon of Jinshi in the fifth year of Tiansheng began to enter the center, and the difference in their career prospects gradually emerged. Those who were obviously behind, naturally hope that Xu Ping and those who were running in the front would support them.

Xu Ping was born in a humble family and had no one to rely on. He also had to rely on the help of the same year, so he spoke very enthusiastically. He has been making a name for himself and nearby people who are now emerging in the court, such as Wang Yaochen, Han Qi, Wang Su and Zhao Xu, and those who have impressed Xu Ping's memories in his previous life, such as Wen Yanbo and others, lamenting their own experiences.

Xu Ping suddenly remembered and asked, "How is Bao Xiren now? He said that his mother was old and did not go to Jianchang County to work. He changed the Hezhou alcohol tax, but still did not take up his post. He just fulfilled his filial piety at home. Nearly ten years have passed, and he has not been seen going to Beijing to select a call. Have you been staying at home to serve his mother?"

Zhang Dayou said: "That's true. Over the years, I often hear people say that Bao Xiren is a filial son."

According to the orthodox view at this time, it should be that the elderly and the elderly do not choose their own fortune, just like Shi Yannian. The parents were old and wanted to raise them, but the sons did not have the right to be picky in their official positions, so they went out to earn money to support their families early. However, Bao Zheng did the opposite. After he passed the Jinshi, he went home to farm and honestly supported his mother.

Therefore, there is no absolute right or wrong in the world, it depends on how you do it and what others say.

Like Bao Zheng, if he was young in high school and lost his fortune in the officialdom, then later generations would definitely say that his mother had delayed his future. From another perspective, he passed the Jinshi but did not go out to be an official, and delayed national affairs for family affairs. This can also be said.

Bao Zhengqi did not go to office for ten years, and he performed filial piety at home. After he became an official, he was promoted like a rocket, and did not delay his future. He truly achieved the best of both worlds, and only then did he become a good talk in later generations. It is normal for different people to deal with the same things. As long as it is not a speculative approach, but sincere, he can do things well and not make mistakes because of your response.

This is exactly what Wang Yan lacks now. There is nothing wrong with his opposition to Xu Ping Xiuhe. It is because of different political views and different perspectives on the problem. Xu Ping will not have any opinions on him. His problem is that since he opposes Xiuhe, he should look for reasons for opposition and debate with Xu Ping upright. He did not, and he took the path of opportunism from the beginning, and then he ended up now. Facing him, Xu Ping did not have any sympathy.

Xu Ping looked at Wang Yan who seemed to be dead by his side, and could only shake his head secretly in his heart.

Speaking of Bao Zheng, Xu Ping remembered his friend Wen Yanbo. His qualifications are almost the same. This time he returned to Beijing, he should find a way to get him to work in Beijing. When he was in the same year, he was also his helper. As for Bao Zheng, he seemed to be unable to rely on him for a while, and he didn't know when he would get out of office.

This matter requires finding opportunities. Although Xu Ping's status can be recommended to officials, he still needs to avoid suspicion in his relationship in the same year. It is best to find an intermediary. A hero and three helpers must be helped in the officialdom.
