Leisure

A meal of grilled fish completely ate three adult male humans and one adult black jellyfish.With the help of grilled fish, the four people's enthusiasm soared, and soon the topic deviated from grilled fish and pointed directly at life.When they parted in the evening, the moon made a faint shadow on the treetops. The father and son of the Yuan family felt a reluctance to say goodbye to the Wanxi brothers, but they had no choice but to say goodbye.

During the conversation, Wanxi realized that the scholar who moved very fast was not an ordinary scholar.His family is one of the richest households in Da'an City, and their property not only accounts for a large part of Da'an City, but is also better in the capital.He also has an uncle named Yuan Shan, who was a big official in the court. Looking at this uncle's face, all the gentry and wealthy households from all walks of life also took good care of the Yuan family's business. Jing, because his only cousin is getting married.

After learning about Wanxi's purpose of going to Beijing, Yuan Wei tactfully expressed that he could let his younger brother Yuanshan take care of him, but Wanxi politely declined.On the road, Haohan asked Wanxi with a blade of grass in his mouth: "It should be much easier for someone to support you in the officialdom, Nan...why didn't you agree?"

Wanxi caught the words cut off by Haohan: "South what? South China Sea?" Under the moonlight, Wanxi's eyes seemed to be shining, which made Haohan feel uneasy, so he pinched the bridge of his nose and replied: "Don't interrupt, what is Guan Nanhai?" Why don't you agree?"

Haohan has a habit of pinching the bridge of his nose when he is upset. Maybe Haohan didn't realize it, but Wanxi is very clear about it. When he was a child, Wanxi once thought that Haohann's nose bridge was pinched.Knowing that Haohan didn't want to mention Nanhai, Wanxi didn't ask any more questions, and replied honestly: "Aunt Hengjun said that the affairs in the officialdom are the most inexplicable. Killed. So in the officialdom, don't look at who is currently in the limelight, but seriously look for good people, not only good people, but smart good people, because stupid good people are the easiest group of people to get out. Just like Yuan Ming, I It's hard to be reassured about his uncle, a man named Yuan Shan, it's better to go and see for yourself."

Hao Han replied: "It's really troublesome." He didn't speak anymore.Wanxi then understood that something important must have happened at the Dragon Palace in the South China Sea, but what kind of event could make Hao Han, who has been heartless for hundreds of years, so entangled, Wanxi really couldn't think of it.Could it be that Hao Han borrowed money from the eldest prince before, but the eldest prince urged him to pay it back?

Wanxi expressed his thoughts a little bit, and then Haohan sneered: "That little money is really nothing to him, and besides, it can't be said that it was borrowed. I took a 200-year-old Give him the upper spirit stone. That stone is valuable, but it’s useless in the world. If we exchange that little money for a more than 200-year-old upper spirit stone, it’s really a loss for us.” Wanxi stopped asking .

After several considerations after entering Beijing, the two rented a small courtyard in an alley as a place to stay. Although the courtyard is small, it is quite exquisite under the command of Wanxi and the layout of Haohan.In the small courtyard, there is a green plantain planted on the edge of the courtyard wall. Next to the plantain is a small stone table with a very smooth stone stool. Sitting here and looking up, you can see The lights on the street reflected the eaves in front, and in the distance, the sound of vendors hawking at the end of the alley could be heard.

After the house was tidied up, Yuan Ming came a few times. Every time he came to discuss the plot or characters with Wanxi with the manuscript in his arms, he couldn’t bear to leave each time. There was always a young man under the banana tree who had to take notes while chatting The big table was full of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, Wanxi could only drink tea with a teapot, Haohan brought a small recliner, and sat on a low table, gnawing on the never-repeating lo-mei.

There were also several times when Yuan Ming came and happened to meet that Wanxi was not at home, and Yuan Ming looked disappointed.One day Hao Han asked Yuan Ming: "You like our Wanxi so much?" Yuan Ming was stunned, his ears turned red quickly: "Mr. The writing style is excellent, I want to learn more from Mr. Wanxi."

Hao Han brought out fried snails just out of the pot from the kitchen, and said silently in his heart: "That kid only has that mouth, so it can be seen that Hengjun and Dasong's training of that kid was not in vain." Eat some snails, and Wanxi will come back." Suddenly, Yuan Ming's face turned red from the base of his ears to his neck.Hao Han was suddenly alerted, you kid not only like our family Wanxi's eloquence and writing skills, you kid must have taken a fancy to us Wanxi! ! ! ! !We are here to marry a daughter-in-law! ! !

The current dynasty in the world is called Bai Guo. According to Hao Han, this country name sounds like a kind of food in the world. Anyway, Wanxi has never eaten this kind of food.The biggest difference between the Bai Kingdom and the previous dynasties is the talent selection system established by Bai Zhiyi, the ancestor emperor of the Bai Kingdom a hundred years ago.

The names of officials from the six departments of the Central Committee of the Bai Kingdom and local officials of all sizes are hung in the Guoxuan Hall in the capital, so that anyone who comes to the capital can clearly see the names of all the officials of the Bai Kingdom, as well as their respective rights and responsibilities.First, it is convenient for the people to supervise, and second, anyone who intends to become an official can choose to vote for any official as a student. The emperor recommends, and the emperor will lead other officials in the headquarters except the official to inspect the recommended students, and if they are suitable, they can fill the vacancies in the imperial court.

When I first came to the capital, for my plan of becoming an official and marrying a daughter-in-law, Wanxi spent every day on the road to observe the adults in the Six Departments, trying to find the smart and good people that Aunt Hengjun said. Aunt Hengjun, Dasong, and various monsters in the mountains.
