The sky was already dark, and the streets of Beijing were shrouded in the night.

Yan Mansion is located in Xiaoyongfang, south of the city. In a place that was supposed to be the entrance of the alley, a tall gate resolutely stood up. In this place where every inch of land is worth every fortune, it is enough to own a house of less than 30 acres.

How strong is the Yan family’s financial resources.

The plaque of Yan Mansion hanging high, the bright red painted door, and the door is covered with golden painted peppers and animal face tin rings, perfectly interpreting the image of a wealthy man in the high door.

Wow...

A carriage shattered the tranquility of the street in front of the door and slowly stopped in front of the Yan Mansion.

Lin Weiran, wearing a fourth-rank official uniform, got off the carriage and looked up at the scale and luxury of the mansion hidden in the night. When he thought of the shabby house of Xu Jie, he shook his head helplessly.

Yan Shifan is probably not a visionary person. He only cares about the glory when he is in power, but does not think about the situation when he is in power. Such a large house is placed in this capital, so it is simply to set up a tombstone for him here.

When he arrived at the door, the follower Lin Fu came forward to hand the post to the doorman, and the housekeeper came out and said, "Mr. Master, my son has been complimenting for a long time, please come inside!"

Lin Qingran nodded slightly and followed the butler into this house that he had never set foot.

Following the butler inside, the front yard and living room of the house were not only larger, but it was still normal. However, the butler introduced him to the back yard, but there was a unique world inside.

When you enter through the brick road, you don’t see the hanging flower door. In front of you is a large garden. In the center of the garden is a large mansion and ancillary buildings, and the east, middle and west are connected to the hanging flower door.

Facing the butler's sneak peek, Lin Weiran's face remained calm as usual, and followed the butler quietly towards a warm pavilion in the distance.

You can see the bright lights in the warm pavilion from afar, and gradually hear the noise and the sound of silk and bamboo. There is a faint shadow on the window paper. There should be a dancer performing a show in the warm pavilion.

Yan Shifan is now in a mourning period, but he is seeking fun at home. This is an unfilial act in this era. Once he is labeled as a hat, it may be difficult to turn over in this life.

A person who is so self-disciplined, if he had not been Yan Song's only son, even if he had achieved the title of a second-level Jinshi, he would not have been able to be the position of the Left Minister of Works.

If it is no wonder that Xu Jie would attack Yan Shifan, and he would have too many flaws against Yan Song, who was diligent and diligent.

When I pushed the door open, a heater with sandalwood rushed towards me, and the beautiful scenery of singing and dancing was present in front of me.

"You guys go down first!" Yan Shifan was obese and his single eyes were a little sharp. After watching Lin Weiran come in, he raised his hand to the dancers and musicians and said lightly.

The lively scene just now no longer existed, the dancers and musicians retreated one after another, and the warm-up hall returned to peace.

"The official has met Lord Yan!"

Lin Junran came to the hall and politely said to Yan Shifan, who was in the first seat. This "Master Yan" is naturally worthy of his name. At present, Yan Shifan is no longer the left minister of the Ministry of Works, and his real identity is just a supervisor who does not need to kneel down.

"Lin Fucheng, you are here, please sit down!"

Yan Shifan raised his hand and pointed at the empty space next to him, and the one with one eye looked at Lin Weiran seriously.

Although the two have seen each other several times, they have not had much interaction. In the past, Yan Shifan was at the peak of his life, so he naturally looked down on Lin Shiran, a new official in the officialdom. When Lin Shiran returned to the capital this time, Yan Shifan was already at home.

Now it is time to change. Even Yan Shifan, who is highly regarded, must carefully examine the Shuntian Prefecture Chief, known as the "Lin Suanzi".

In this warm pavilion, in addition to Lin Weiran, there is also a middle-aged man wearing a seventh-rank official uniform. He is fat and big-eared, and his body is even fatter than Yan Shifan, but his face looks very friendly.

Seeing Lin Qingran sitting down, he stood up and bowed respectfully and said: "The lower-ranking official cabinet ordered Luo Wenlong, the secretary of the secretary of the room, to meet the Chief of the Palace!"

The clans of the Ming Dynasty included the clans of the Secretariat, the clans of the Wuying Palace, and the clans of the cabinet, who were the clans of the yamen, and were mainly engaged in documentary work, and they had no real power.

Lin Qingran heard about this person. Luo Longwen was an ink merchant. His Luo family ink was excellent. People at that time said that it was "solid as stone, with patterns as rhinestones, black as lacquer, and a snail worth tens of thousands of dollars".

The reputation of the first one.

Luo Longwen was different from ordinary businessmen, but he was a very ambitious person. He was now a disciple of Yan Shifan and was a member of Yan Shifan, who was highly valued by Yan Shifan.

Now Yan Shifan has to leave the cabinet because he is in charge of the rules and stays at home. This is also true. Yan Shifan and Yan Song cannot meet directly, and can only convey messages through messengers or the Secretariat.

Lin Weiran nodded slightly to Luo Wenlong, a staff member who was deeply trusted by Yan Shifan, and looked unsalt. After all, his identity is here, so there is no need to pay too much attention to this Zhongshu Shepherd who is not from the imperial examination.

Under the butler's arrangement, the wine and meat were quickly delivered.

Lin Weiran looked at the venison on the table, and was still carefully curated and started to move without hesitation. Although he knew that Yan Shifan had something to look for him, he would not ask if the other party did not speak on his own initiative.

Yan Shifan ate a few bites of venison, and naturally the drunkard's intention was not to drink, and he also looked at Lin Weiran frequently. Seeing that Lin Weiran had always maintained humor, he couldn't help but hand it to Luo Wenlong a wink.

Luo Wenlong coughed lightly and smiled at Lin Qingran and said, "I heard that Lin Gong Gong has amazing talent. Through your strategy, this has led to Yin Shangshu as the president of the examination. It is really a commander.

The official admires it very much!”

At the end, I gave a gift seriously, looking very impressed.

"Absurd!" Lin Qingran changed color suddenly, threw down the venison in his hand and shouted loudly, and immediately accused him sternly: "Have you ever done this? Who is slandering me and whose surname is his?"

Facing Yang Futian and others, he did not admit it in person. Now facing Yan Shifan, who was unpredictable, how could he admit it? Luo Wenlong asked this and even put a trap on him.

Luo Wenlong was immediately shocked, but facing Lin Shiran's questioning, Yan Shifan was indifferent and said guiltily: "The officials are also heard from others, so please forgive me!"

"Luo Sheren, you should not listen to such ruthless words!" Lin Qingran put on the airs of the Minister of the Mansion and continued seriously: "The Lord chose my teacher Yin Tai as the chief examiner of the examination because of my teacher's

Qualifications and reputation are the most suitable candidates. What does this matter have to do with me? And why do you need to plan?"

This is for Luo Wenlong, but also for Yan Shifan. No matter what Yan Shifan is thinking about inviting him, if he really dares to continue to put such a condom for him, then don't blame him for turning against others.

Yan Shifan looked at Lin Weiran with a high look, looked at Lin Weiran with a smile, and thought in his heart that this was what Lin Weiran did, and this young man was indeed a genius.
