In the next few days, Fan Wenjin didn't go anywhere, he just took good care of his health in his house.
Originally, Chu Suiliang planned to accompany him around to get acquainted with Chang'an City. If possible, he could also go to the suburbs, where there were many gardens of nobles, so he could visit.
It's a good idea to go to Chang'an Academy. General Manager Fan was a Jinshi in the previous dynasty, so he must have a lot of ink in his belly. He should prefer the atmosphere of Chang'an Academy.
Anyway, for those who are new to Chang'an, there are many places to visit.
Especially now that the Beijing Examination is approaching, there are more literati, so it is easy to attend a few literary gatherings. The best place is naturally Caiyufang.
It is a magical place for any man, and Manager Fan will be no exception.
But it can't be done now. Manager Fan is so weak that he may die if he enters Caiyufang. Therefore, even if Fan Wenjin is so elegant, Chu Suiliang doesn't dare to take him out for fun.
In a few days, Chu Suiliang accompanied Fan Wenjin in Fan's house and chatted all over the world, but it made Fan Wenjin realize that this person was extraordinary.
The chapters and stories are at your fingertips, and everything can be told from beginning to end.
He is both knowledgeable about the past and present, and has a good understanding of practical matters. In addition, he is knowledgeable in people and knows things well, especially the hero's genealogy. He is so proficient in memorizing it that he seems to be born to be an official.
It is a very pleasant thing to have such a person by your side, as long as you don't be jealous of talents, because he will not say words you don't want to hear.
…………
In the evening of that day, Fang Xuanling, the minister of official affairs, came to visit.
Fang Xuanling is younger than Fan Wenjin, but more than ten years older than Chu Suiliang.
He and Chu Suiliang are completely different people. Being an official relies on true talent and learning. He never thinks about evil ways and always treats others with kindness. Now he is one of the important ministers in the court. Regardless of reputation, power, responsibility, or rank, Chu Suiliang
It's hard to compare to them.
What made Chu Suiliang even more envious was that Fang Qiao had a wide circle of friends in Beijing. Even Su Xu, Yu Chang and others felt proud to be friends with him when they talked about Fang Qiao.
Moreover, Fang Xuanling's potential in the official career has not yet been fully realized. In Chu Suiliang's eyes, Fang Xuanling was almost impeccable except for the shortcoming of henpecking.
In a few years, people may be able to look forward to the position of prime minister.
However, Fang Xuanling and Chu Suiliang are both students of Yuen Long. This label cannot be removed by either of them, unless... well, there is basically no such thing as exception.
If they wanted to change their family, the emperor would not agree to it.
Therefore, when Chu Suiliang met Fang Xuanling, he usually followed the disciple ceremony. After all, the two had some connections. In the Tiance Mansion, Fang Xuanling was the one who selected talents. It was Fang Xuanling who introduced the father and son to the King of Qin's account.
Down.
Moreover, their father and son still owed Fang Xuanling a favor. When they fled Chang'an in embarrassment, they had no way to turn to them, but Fang Xuanling gave them some help.
Being able to successfully go to Jinyang to serve as an official was attributable to Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling came here because he heard that Fan Wenjin invited the imperial doctor to his house, so he came over to visit him. Fang Xuanling did not have such a strong purpose in doing things, and he would not care about any duties that Fan Wenjin would perform in the future. He just came here
Let's see if Fan Wenjin is sick and whether his condition is serious.
Therefore, it is easier for him to gain respect from others. In other words, he is better than Chu Suiliang in terms of his conduct as a person.
…………
Fan Wenjin could clearly feel this. He asked questions diligently and spoke like a spring breeze. Every word he spoke was heart-warming, and he could tell he was sincere at first glance.
Fang Xuanling didn't refuse to leave dinner in the evening, because Fan Wenjin was taking medicine and couldn't drink, so they just had a meal together.
When the three of them got together, Chu Suiliang became a little boy, serving tea to this one and serving dishes to that one, acting like a junior.
Fang Xuanling was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he spoke freely during the banquet. He displayed the demeanor of a master. He rarely mentioned political affairs in his words, let alone recited any heroic records or demeanor.
It's really heartbreaking.
Whether he was talking to Fan Wenjin about the old events of the Sui Dynasty or to Chu Suiliang about the stories of the Tiance Mansion back then, he had no scruples and seemed to be open-minded and open-minded about everything.
In fact, what he said was very measured. Even if you spread the word to others, you can only say that Fang Qiao is nostalgic and can't say anything else.
Even Chu Suiliang was filled with admiration. Sure enough, he was still the same Fang Qiao.
After talking for a long time, Fan Wenjin once again lamented about the hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Chang'an City. There really were no such characters in places like Liangzhou, and there was indeed no soil for producing such characters.
After the meal, the host and the guest enjoyed themselves. Fan Wenjin called him "virtuous brother," and Fang Xuanling also called him "brother Fan." Look, Chu Suiliang has been in the mansion for two or three days, and Fan Wenjin still calls him respectfully.
I am serving Chu Chang.
This was the gap. Chu Suiliang had always been eager to learn and would never be complacent about his past, but he really couldn't imitate Fang Xuanling's demeanor.
The reason why some people are outstanding is this, so that imitators can only act like tigers and not turn out to be dogs.
…………
Although Fan Wenjin warmly invited Fang Xuanling and wanted to have a sleepover with Fang Xuanling and talk all night long, he was still declined by Fang Xuanling. Before leaving, he said to Fan Wenjin: "I am not as talented as the general manager. Your Majesty is so brave."
, there is no shortage of people like the general manager to help you.
As long as the manager waits patiently, we will have good news in the near future."
Fang Xuanling had the ability to speak sincerely in everything he said, and as the Minister of Civil Service, his words were more credible than those of Yuen Long, Chu Suiliang and others.
In fact, this was also the case. When Zhou Jun returned to the province, his comments on Fan Wenjin had been submitted to Wen Yanbo, and the Ministry of Personnel also received a copy.
The article is full of good reviews and highly praises Fan Wenchen's work. This is a prerequisite for a feudal official to return to Beijing to report on his duties and be promoted. It can also be called a sign.
After passing this level, there is only one obstacle left. If there is no mortal hatred, the officials of the three provinces and six ministries will basically not interfere, otherwise they will have to guard against the other party's backlash.
The next step is to meet the driver. As long as you can pass the level of the Taiji Palace, from a third-grade high-ranking official to a general manager and return to the capital to report on your duties, you must at least be rewarded with the position of a prime minister or a quasi-prime minister.
Fang Xuanling came to visit Fan Wenjin. Firstly, he wanted to see his condition, and secondly, he came to cheer him up. Before meeting the driver, the most important thing is a state of mind. Just like a big exam, don’t make your mind unbalanced by then.
, will probably mess everything up.
…………
Fan Wenjin took Xuanling's arm and said gratefully: "With these words from my dear brother, I feel much more at ease. I was in a hurry before and didn't expect my dear brother to be so knowledgeable and far-sighted. It's a shame that we met so late."
In the future, when I settle down here, can I have a drink with my dear brother?"
Next to him, Chu Suiliang blinked his eyes and thought in a sour tone, "I've treated you well, how have you treated me these past few days? When Fang Qiao came, you were so attentive. You can't be like this."
