In the front hall of Xu Mansion, everyone sat down separately. Xu Jie naturally took the main seat. Yang Jisheng sat on the carved rosewood chair on Xu Jie's left hand. The handsome man with balsam sat on the carved rosewood chair on Xu Jie's right hand. Zhu Ping'an sat on the carved rosewood chair on Xu Jie's right hand.
Sitting next to the handsome man applying balsam, Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei sat on the left behind Yang Jisheng.
"There's no need to be formal here. I'm from your age, and I paid homage to Master Xia just like you did." Xu Jie was very kind and had no airs at all. He sat on the main seat and chatted with Zhu Ping'an and the others.
The distance was suddenly shortened.
Xu Jie took the initiative in most of the conversations. He asked the three people about their hometown and address, how they were used to living in the capital, and whether they had any difficulties in life and studies. He also encouraged the three people to avoid arrogance and impatience and prepare for the imperial examination.
The feeling of being an elder in the family.
In the eyes of Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei, Xu Jie was Corporal Zhejie, which made them grateful, and their sense of Xu Jie rose to a very high level.
Zhu Ping'an's face also had the same grateful expression as Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei's wish to die for Xu Jie, but his heart was relatively calm. He had read Mr. Mingyue's masterpiece "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" in modern times. For
Xu Jie, the former Principal of the Imperial Academy, has some understanding of Xu Jie. Putting down his arrogance, Zhejie Corporal, and chatting with these new military servicemen are just similar to the mentality of Principal Jiang who used to be the Huangpu Military Academy. The purpose is not just
Encourage them to study hard. Who knows if there will be a few first- and second-grade strong men in the future. Winning over the team is one of the very important purposes.
Of course, Mr. Mingyue was not Xu Jie's roundworm. Zhu Pingan only used Mr. Mingyue's words as a reference.
seeing is believing.
What kind of person is Xu Jie, what kind of person is Yan Song, what kind of person is Emperor Jiajing, what kind of Ming Dynasty is this era, etc. Zhu Pingan still has to use his own eyes. Use his own thoughts, slowly
Slowly observe this Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Pingan's innate simplicity and mediocre appearance gave Zhu Pingan a natural disguise. In the eyes of Xu Jie and others. Zhu Pingan, Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen and the previous batch of Xinke who came to visit
There is not much difference between the Gongshi people. They are all very grateful to Corporal Xu Jie Zhejie's attitude.
"We said goodbye at the inn that day. I didn't expect to meet Brother Zhu at the teacher's place today, and I didn't expect that my friend at the inn would be Huiyuan Lang today." Yang Jisheng smiled after Xu Jie, Zhu Ping'an and others had finished greeting.
When talking to Zhu Pingan, his voice was as rich and hoarse as before.
"Brother Yang was joking." Zhu Pingan smiled sheepishly.
Yang Jisheng's words attracted everyone's attention, including the handsome guy sitting on the chair at the bottom right of Xu Jie. When he first entered the door, Zhu Ping'an and the others did not attract his attention. Today, he saw too many things like this in the teacher Xu Jie's place.
Zhu Ping'an and others paid homage to the teacher's new tributes. None of these people gave him a very outstanding impression, but when he heard Yang Jisheng mention the word Huiyuan, his eyes showed a hint of excitement.
A stunning light.
"Oh, do you know Brother Nian?" The handsome guy looked at Yang Jisheng and asked casually.
Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen were also a little curious about this. They had never heard Zhu Pingan talk about Yang Jisheng before.
"Oh, I first came to the capital a few days ago and met Brother Zhu at the inn." Yang Jisheng said lightly.
"Thank you so much, Brother Yang, otherwise I might have to sleep in the wilderness again." Zhu Pingan stood up from the chair and thanked Yang Jisheng again. Really, the post station was so prosperous that day that if it weren't for Yang Jisheng, he would probably have to do it.
I went to sleep in the wilderness, and it was really not easy to find an inn at that time.
"It's just a little effort. Brother Zhu, there's no need to be polite." Yang Jisheng didn't take what happened that day to heart.
"Oh. It's my fault. Zhongfang and Ping'an know each other. I'm afraid you don't know each other yet. Come on, let me introduce to you. This is Yang Jisheng, a member of the driving department of the Ministry of War. His pseudonym is Zhongfang." Xu Jie laughed at himself.
He smiled, then pointed to Yang Jisheng and introduced it to Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen.
"Zhang Siwei (Wang Shizhen) has met Mr. Yang." Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen stood up from their chairs and bowed their hands to Yang Jisheng.
"I have long heard of Mr. Yang's name. On that day, Mr. Yang went to court to impeach Qiu Luan. We all regard Mr. Yang as our role model." Zhang Siwei continued, admiring Yang Jisheng highly.
"The same goes for Shizhen." Wang Shizhen admired Yang Jisheng even more.
"No, I'm just fulfilling my duty as a minister." Yang Jisheng shook his head slightly, and then said, "Don't call me lord, lord. I am older than you. You and Brother Zhu will call me Brother Yang."
yes."
"Thank you, Brother Yang."
Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen really admired Yang Jisheng. On that day, Yang Jisheng was demoted to Di Daodian Shi because of the Shangshu impeachment of Qiu Luan and the opening of the horse market. They admired Yang Jisheng for his outspoken advice. Now seeing Yang Jisheng, they asked them to call them eldest brother.
, naturally will not refuse.
After Xu Jie introduced Yang Jisheng, he pointed to the handsome guy on his lower right and introduced to Zhu Ping'an, Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen: "This is Zhang Juzheng, editor of the Hanlin Academy, his cousin is Shuda, and he is a Jinshi in the same class as Zhongfang.
One session earlier than yours."
Zhang Juzheng?!
When Zhu Ping'an heard the words Zhang Juzheng, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. Damn, this handsome guy with balsam, this guy who almost ordered a curry for his gay guy, turned out to be Zhang Juzheng!
If this awesome man knew that he was almost classified as a soap enthusiast, his Ming career would probably be in trouble.
Zhang Siwei, Wang Shizhen and Zhu Pingan were different. When they heard Xu Jie introduce Zhang Juzheng, they didn't feel much. It was almost the same as when we heard the instructor introduce a certain senior brother, oh, senior brother, too
That's it.
Yang Jisheng dared to speak out and remonstrate with General Qiu Luan, who was at the height of his power at that time and had a large number of troops. This kind of courage made them like Feng Yun seniors to Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen.
Zhang Juzheng, compared to Yang Jisheng, is not well-known and is not a famous figure. To them, Zhang Juzheng’s current title of editor of the Hanlin Academy is attractive, and the Hanlin Academy is a place for talent cultivation and promotion.
, in the Ming Dynasty, there was a custom that non-Jinshi were not allowed to enter the Hanlin Academy, and non-Hanlin Academy members were not allowed to join the cabinet. However, having said that, there were many people in the Hanlin Academy, and not everyone could get ahead.
Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen were not as knowledgeable about history as Zhu Ping'an was, so they were more than respectful to the Zhang Juzheng introduced by Xu Jie, but not worshipful.
"I've met Mr. Zhang."
Therefore, after the two introduced each other on the Xujie, they stood up from their chairs and bowed their hands to Zhang Juzheng.
"I've met Mr. Zhang."
Zhu Ping'an was half a beat too late. After Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen paid their respects to Zhang Juzheng, he reacted and stood up to pay his respects to Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Siwei, Wang Shizhen, and Zhu Ping'an, who was distracted for half a second, could see the difference in their attitudes when they greeted him and when they greeted Yang Jisheng. Zhang Juzheng was very smart and could guess the reason for their difference.
.
But they are just superficial people!
