In the office of the chief minister of Wuyi Hall, Yan Shifan actually showed a respectful expression of a wise man. He picked up a delicately carved red sandalwood box from the table and sent it to Chen Si with both hands.
"Sit down quickly." Yan Shifan was greeting the big table with affectionate greetings and sat down in a row of chairs with red sandalwood cushions. He also sat down beside Shen Mo, lifting the big box, placing the bottom of the red silk, neatly arranged the whole set of four treasures of the study, which was obviously not an ordinary person.
Seeing that Chen Shu stared at this set of things without blinking, Yan Shifan smiled and said, "Dad and I have been thinking about backing up the meeting gift for you. Gold, silver and treasures are too vulgar. What about the beautiful singer, you are not married yet. But it took time to find these treasures from all over the place and gather a set of four treasures in the study, which is just right for you, Wen Kuixing." As he said that, he picked up the dark yellow inkstone and said, "Let's see whose model it is from the Chengni inkstone of the Northern Song Dynasty?"
Silently took it with both hands, looked at the inscription above, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Su Dongpo?"
"That's it!" Yan Shifan pointed to the Mo proudly and said, "Mo is from Li Tinggui, with the money from the late emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Now it's a thousand gold coins." He pointed to the stack of rice paper and said, "This stack of gold-sprayed paper was used by Song Huizong, and it has his seal."
Finally, I picked up the set of six brushes and looked at it silently, but I saw that the pen holder was carved with gold, decorated with harmonious walls, decorated with beads, and written with Pei Cui. Guan Fei was not a literary rhinoceros, but it must be ivory. It was extremely gorgeous. I heard Yan Shifan say: "This set of Han brushes may be from Cai Yong, but the age is too far away, so I have to verify it myself." As he said that, he closed the lid and pushed it to Chen and said: "How is it, it's worthy of our top scholar, right?"
Silent smiled bitterly and said, "It's really too luxurious to write with this set of four treasures in the study."
"Who asked you to write?" Yan Shifan laughed and cursed: "There are people who have the fragrance of books in the world, please keep it for a generation."
"You are not afraid to accept such a valuable thing." Chen Si shook his head and gave in.
Yan Shifan glared and said, "You will accept what I gave to you."
After being silent, Yan Shifan was hesitant and said unhappy: "Do you guys look down on me?"
Chen Si had no choice but to take the sandalwood box with both hands and thank Master Yan again.
At this time, the old master Yan, who had been closing his eyes and resting, opened his eyes and said kindly: "When the cabinet comes, be diligent, be sweeter, listen more, read more and ask more, you will always benefit endlessly."
Chen Mo knew that this was Ge Lao Yan seeing off the guests, so he stood up and left. Yan Shifan sent him to the door, closed the door and turned around. He sat in the seat that Shen Mo had just sat and said, "Dad, why did you have to give him this set of things? Didn't you say you would pass it on to your grandson?"
"Yan Hong, are Yan Hu and the others a match?" Yan Song drooped his eyelids and stretched out his hand and said, "Good things cannot be ruined."
Yan Shifan quickly brought the tea on the table to his father and smiled bitterly: "You have invested such a lot of money, why didn't that kowtow?" For example, kowtow, express your opinion, and say that you will spend your whole life with the old master.
Yan Song's disappointment flashed, and he closed his eyes and said slowly: "Hey, there is a master behind this doll. He already understands his position, so there is no need to deliberately please me."
"Where is the position?" Yan Shifan frowned and sneered: "Is the future prime minister? It's still early! It's easier to play him to death than strangle an ant."
"Don't do anything randomly." Yan Song shook his head and said, "Have you heard Lu Bing speak? Who can't get along with his junior brother, just can't get along with him... If His Majesty's tacit approval, I don't believe he dares to say such words."
Yan Shifan was extremely smart, how could he not have thought of this? But he was used to being arrogant and couldn't swallow his breath and said, "This kid gave the account book to the emperor and almost killed his father. Could it be that he just let go of this?"
"Otherwise, what else can it do?" Yan Song sipped the fragrant tea and sighed: "When a person is old, it is better to have less trouble than to have more things. If there is no chance to kill him with one stick, I will not touch him." He said, looking at his son sternly, "So, don't always think that I am the best in the world and cause me trouble!"
"How do you treat this kid from now on?" Yan Shifan asked reluctantly.
"What should I do?" Yan Song put down the teacup and said slowly: "Looking forward, it seems that the Majesty's intention is to send him back to the south, where Hu Zongxian can help us hold him."
"Then let it go this time?" Yan Shifan asked angrily.
"Forget it," Yan Song nodded and said, "I'm going to be calm for a while, and take a step back and the sky is wide open."
When the Yan family and his son were talking, Shen Mo was already visiting Xu Jie.
Mr. Xu was very kind. He stood up from behind the desk, pulled him to sit on a row of mahogany chairs, and asked with a smile: "Is Mr. Longxi good? Mr. Changsha good?" This question showed the extraordinary relationship between the two sides, but I don't know where the relationship went when Shen Mo was in trouble.
After Shen Mo answered respectfully, Xu Jie smiled and said, "This place is not as good as the Hanlin Academy. There are too many errands and too busy. You must adapt as soon as possible."
Shen Mo nodded and said, "Students know." Xu Jie is his main examination. Although he only approved the papers for him, the teacher and student status have been settled, which means that Shen Mo cannot oppose Xu Jie in this life, otherwise he will violate the rules of the officialdom and will be despised by everyone.
This relationship is obviously much more solid than the friendship between classmates, and even stronger than the relationship between father and son. With this relationship, Xu Jie can naturally regard Shen Mo as his own person without worrying about him being half-hearted.
So Mr. Xu, who has always been talking to others, rarely taught Shen Mo once: "Your Majesty did not discuss the edict that you were asked to come to the cabinet to serve on duty. This means that your future is already in the heart of Your Majesty, so at this time, as long as you work hard and work diligently, no one will lose any part of you." As he said, he lowered his voice and said, "The cabinet's office is under Your Majesty's nose. If you are lazy and lazy, you will inevitably lose your holy family. Therefore, you must take the word "diligence" first and warn yourself at all times."
Shen Mo is a sensible person. The way of nature, Mr. Xu is teaching experience. He quickly sat upright and listened carefully, and then listened to Xu Jie again: "The cabinet is a key military service. He has to make countless decisions every day. All you have to do is to read, learn and ask more, but remember not to express any opinions or make any suggestions." He looked at Shen Mo with bright eyes and said: "If you can't take this responsibility, it will also cause dissatisfaction, so I will give you a word, saying, "It's better to just silent than to be a hundred words." At least before you become a Grand Secretary, you should abide by this in the cabinet."
Shen Mo nodded and said, "Students keep in mind the teachings of their mentors."
"Very good." Xu Jie smiled and said, "If you don't understand anything and cannot solve it, come to me."
"Thank you!" Chen Shu saluted again.
From that day on, Chen Mo and Xu Wei began to serve in Xiyuan. Xu Wei served in the Zichen Hall, specifically to meet the emperor's dissatisfaction with the emperor's desires and dissatisfaction with the emperor. His literary talent was also truly remarkable. The written Qing Ci always surprised the emperor, so he was summoned from time to time and ordered him to serve.
Xu Wei was quick-witted, versatile, versatile, versatile, and versatile. He was funny by nature and had strong adaptability. Therefore, no matter where the emperor said or asked, he could answer immediately, and always please the emperor. He was also good at saying thought-provoking words between laughter and scolding. So within a few days, he became an indispensable person around the emperor... Emperor Jiajing wanted to play chess, talk about poetry, draw a painting, write a word, etc. Xu Wei could accompany him, and make the emperor happy and satisfied and feel at home. Even if the emperor wanted to go out and relax, he was always indispensable to this gag. In Xu Wei's own words, he was a "three/sanctuary" who accompanied him to eat, play and practice.
In comparison, the days of silence were much harder. He divided the documents and decrees in the cabinet, drafted some documents and edicts, and transferred the memorials and other memorials from the lower... 1,936 post stations across the country, and the 300,000-mile post roads, continuously reporting the situation in the two capitals and 13 provinces. In the north, Altan was about to start robbing again, and the Japanese and pirates in the south were also rampant. The disaster relief in various places was progressing slowly, and the people who could not survive began to cause trouble, etc. The affairs were complicated, and at least hundreds of memorials submitted by each department every day. These memorials were given to the cabinet masters in a silence hand... The suggestion of the cabinet masters was to write on a piece of paper and paste on the memorial, which was called "public bills".
