Chapter 3: The rise of the wind and clouds, the road to immortality Chapter 226: Picking up guests
"Brother Chengjie, my uncle asked you to say something just now, but it was so long." Wang Lianmin saw Geng Fengxian bringing Li Chengjie over, and he walked forward and asked two steps.
Mu Youzhi, Xu Nuo and Chen Yun were also standing here and looking at Li Chengjie curiously. Moreover, he was actually pulled over by Geng Fengxian. Although Li Chengjie could not see Geng Fengxian's expression, everyone could see clearly!
"Most of them guessed that it was fake to call Li Chengjie to go and speak, and taking the opportunity to create opportunities, so that his second daughter Geng Fengxian and Li Chengjie are alone is the real thing! After all, in addition to Wang Lianmin, Li Chengjie is the "most fragrant and fragrant" hot commodity! Almost all the officials in Kyoto know that whoever can get along with Li Chengjie and get involved in some old things is the blessing of the ancestors!"
Mu Youzhi looked at Li Chengjie's desire to speak but stopped, and she also walked up and said, "Senior Brother, where did you go for fun just now? You didn't take me with me!" Then he said, while pulling Geng Fengxian over.
When Geng Fengxian let go of Li Chengjie's hand, she saluted to the adults in the hall, and Mu Youzhi also smiled and said, "This girl is so beautiful, it seems that the rumors from the outside world are true. The three girls of the Geng family are all extremely beautiful!" Mu Youzhi also bowed slightly to Geng Fengxian as he spoke.
"Youzhi, this is Uncle Geng's second daughter, Geng Fengxian!" Wang Lianmin also stood up and introduced.
"Well, Youzhi, the master is here just now!" Li Chengjie looked at Mu Youzhi's current appearance. Others don't know, can he still not know? This is obviously Mu Youzhi was jealous. He hurried to Mu Youzhi's side and said softly.
"Oh, Master Ling is here? I'm willing to recommend Brother Yu. I didn't have the chance to see Master Ling several times when I came to the mansion. Brother Yu felt very regretful!" Chen Yun also walked over excitedly when he heard Li Chengjie's words.
"Yes, Brother Chengjie, I really want to visit Master Ling." Wang Lianmin also walked over to join in the fun when he heard Li Chengjie's words.
If you say that the reputation of Ji Xin in Kyoto was all caused by the test results of Mu Youzhi and Li Chengjie. Now Li Chengjie has been awarded the title of "Qilinzi" by His Majesty, and most of us have heard of it. When Madam Meng Lang issued the imperial edict that day, he specifically told me, "The master of Yuanfu will not come to accept the imperial edict. Even if he wants to watch the ceremony, he can avoid kneeling..." What a great grace...
"Meng Lang, the chief supervisor of the palace, went to pass the imperial edict, which was not ordinary. It would be fine if he announced the imperial edict after entering the mansion. But listening to Meng Lang's words, it was okay to not come to receive the imperial edict or not, and it was even more casual if he did not kneel down... But even so, Master Yuan from Yuan's mansion still did not go to the mansion to receive the imperial edict... Such an honor and such an emperor's kindness, Master Yuan seemed to not take it seriously... It also pushed the people in Kyoto's speculation about Yuan Zixin to an unprecedented height..."
"Everyone, it's really unfortunate that the master came to treat Mr. Geng's third daughter Geng Furong. The master didn't like the noise and had already left. If you have the chance next time, I will recommend you!" Li Chengjie bowed and said. He revealed this moment in just a few words.
Geng Fengxian looked at Mu Youzhi, and the three young men, Xu Nuo and Li Chengjie, had their eyes circulating, as if they were vaguely comparing who was their good match, and their eyes were rolling. However, it seemed that except for "Li Chengjie's talent and reputation" the biggest and "Mu Youzhi grows the most beautiful", only the "Xu Nuo is talented and beautiful" is only taller than the Qilinzi, and her beauty is not as beautiful as Mu Youzhi...
It can be said that the three of them have their own strengths, and she couldn't make a decision for a while. So Geng Fengxian turned to look at Wang Lianmin and said, "Prince Wang, my sister's peach and plum banquet is about to begin now. Are you going to prepare?"
"Oh, oh! OK, okay! Don't worry, sister! Just leave everything to Lianmin!" Wang Lianmin naturally heard the meaning of Geng Fengxian's words. This "preparation" is to ask him to prepare to pick up customers!
"Brother Chengjie, Mr. Xu, and Youzhi, there are few male members in Geng's house. Today, Uncle Geng invited all senior officials in the court. Can you please do this?
Seeing the banquet just now, I accompanied Lianmin to welcome the guests in front of the mansion!" Wang Lianmin said with a smile.
Geng Fengxian also nodded. That's what she said just now. As a daughter, it is not very convenient for her to show up in public, especially if she is a "week and see off" to pick up customers, which is even more inconvenient for her.
"Anyway, Lianmin will be considered a member of their Geng Mansion in the future. It is understandable that he will take up his post early at this time. After all, all the civil and military officials in the court know that the marriage between Wang Lianmin and Geng Yulan can be said to be a foregone conclusion!"
Li Chengjie, Mu Youzhi and Xu Nuo, the three of them looked at each other and nodded. They were all newcomers who had just entered the official career. At this time, they took this opportunity to observe and understand the ministers in the court, which would also be of some help to their career. Moreover, for this "person who is about to get married", this face cannot be refuted.
Wang Lianmin looked at them all nodded and turned around and walked towards Chen Yun.
"Lienmin, I won't join you in the fun." Chen Yun seemed to be able to understand Wang Lianmin's purpose. He thought that it was not easy to refuse, so he simply put the words in front so that Wang Lianmin "retreats the problem"!
"Mr. Chen! We are all newcomers in the court, and we will inevitably not recognize all the ministers in the court! If there is not enough etiquette there, we will inevitably blame the adults! Please take care of us, the newcomers, and give us some tips. If we don't ask for merit, we only want to make mistakes. After all, I will not be right in the future... If something goes wrong and decent in this banquet today, Uncle Geng will inevitably blame you in the future!" Wang Lianmin said sincerely.
"Okay, okay!" Chen Yun nodded as he looked at Li Chengjie and the others. He responded with a gritty response. "He is a minister of justice, a second-rank official, and a strong competitor to the Minister of Justice. He came to participate in the Peach and Plum Banquet of the Minister of Personnel's straightforward daughter, and was even taken to work as a coolie... This is a huge favor to the Geng family!"
"Oh, thank you Lord Chen!" Wang Lianmin looked at Chen Yun and immediately looked with a smile. With his "help", Geng Yulan's welcome lineup of the Peach and Plum Banquet was "unprecedentedly powerful". Not to mention the rookie of the court, even if Chen Yun stood there, she would be "very proud"!
Wang Lianmin saw that everyone agreed and was already thinking about how to seek credit and reward in front of his "future lady" Geng Yulan!
"That Fengxian is here to thank you for your father and sister!" Geng Fengxian bowed politely and said.
"Please!" Wang Lian made a gesture and led everyone to the gate of Gengfu.
You can see everywhere along the way, and there are "lights and decorations" everywhere in the Geng Mansion! It is auspicious!
A group of five people came to the gate of Geng Mansion and saw that the servants and servants of Geng Mansion had already set off at the door, and guests had already walked over one after another.
All the people who came were of good status. After Chen Yun's introduction, many second-rank and third-rank officials from the Sixth Ministry had already presented gifts and were respectfully invited by the people from the Geng Mansion. Several officials from the Ministry of Justice also stood outside the mansion when they saw Chen Yun, and went over to say hello respectfully. They were also polite to chat with Wang Lianmin and Li Chengjie Xu Nuo.
Chen Yun saw a fat middle-aged man walking away. He came to Li Chengjie and Wang Lianmin and said, "The Minister of Personnel Liu Tianzhang and Liu Shilang, who is considered a confidant of Lord Geng, and behind him are all officials of the Ministry of Personnel."
Li Chengjie and Wang Lianmin both nodded.
When Wang Lianmin saw Liu Tianzhang approaching, he smiled and greeted him, "Mr. Liu, I have long admired him!"
"Are you?" Liu Tianzhang asked in confusion as he looked at Wang Lianmin. He was not very good at socializing. Among the officials of the six ministries of the court, that is, the officials of the Ministry of Personnel, he was familiar with him. Now when he saw someone coming, he saw that his colleagues around him shook his head at him, so he asked.
"Night
Brother, Wang Lianmin, I'm here to look forward to Lord Liu!" Wang Lianmin looked at the fat Liu Tianzhang, called himself "Junior", and said humbly and politely.
"Oh, it turns out that it is Tanhualang from Jinke. You don't have to be so polite. Just call me Uncle Liu. We will be a family in the future." Liu Tianzhang looked at Wang Lianmin. With his relationship with Jinzhen, he naturally knew how much Gentle admired Wang Lianmin. He also knew that as much as he appreciated now, he would have the principle of "relying more" in the future. He did not show the attitude of the Minister of Personnel, and patted Wang Lianmin on the shoulder very kindly and said kindly.
Her chubby face and greasy figure make Liu Tianzhang look very approachable now.
Wang Lianmin also called "Uncle Liu" in a calm way, then bowed to the officials beside him, and then invited them into the mansion.
Liu Tianzhang and all the officials of the Ministry of Personnel greeted Wang Lianmin, and then walked aside in turn to leave a gift.
Liu Tianzhang offered a "glass coral" with great magnitude! The fine workmanship and the preciousness of glass were sophisticated that when Li Chengjie saw the "glass coral", he smashed his mouth. Mu Youzhi was also attracted by the "glass coral". It can be seen how much this kind of glass loves them girls.
Other officials from the Ministry of Personnel also offered gifts such as "crystal, agate, jasper". Li Chengjie looked at the gifts of these officials. Any one of them should be worth their annual salary...
"I don't know if they are really willing to give gifts, or their income is much more than their salary..."
"Oh, this is a Qilin son, Li Chengjie, the newly-private Dali Temple Minister, Lord Li?" After Liu Tianzhang finished his greeting and was about to enter the mansion, he saw Li Chengjie standing at the door. He shook his fat all over his body and walked towards Li Chengjie.
"Mr. Liu, do you remember me? But I dare not take this call from Lord Li! Don't talk nonsense, maybe I will write a book tomorrow, regardless of age or seniority!" Li Chengjie looked at this chubby Liu Tianzhang, and it was really "feeling funny". Chen Yun just introduced it to them, indicating that this person might be able to make friends. Li Chengjie was also "proficient" and joked.
"I'm really a young talent. When I was in the court, I had no chance to say a word or two due to my identity. Now, I'll have a few drinks with you if I have the chance!" Liu Tianzhang looked at Li Chengjie's appearance and stopped teasing him, and also patted Li Chengjie's shoulder gently.
Obviously, he treated Wang Lianmin and Li Chengjie the same attitude, but he wanted to get Wang Lianmin closer to him and could make Wang Lianmin call him "Uncle Liu". If he wanted to get close to Li Chengjie, he would never dare to say such words.
"It's fine if they are willing too! But if they are unhappy, Liu Tianzhang is not willing to make things boring. People with high talents have been even more arrogant since ancient times!" For Li Chengjie's "Qilin" with unlimited future, they can only respect the old men in the officialdom. Maybe when they transform into their own boss...
Li Chengjie looked at Liu Tianzhang's leaving figure and smiled. He could roughly know what kind of "identity" he is among the many officials in the court.
After all, only by understanding yourself first can a person better "deal with the enemy".
If you look at yourself too high, you will inevitably underestimate the enemy, and there will be no more days for you to turn over.
If you are too humble and position yourself too low, although you have the advantage of "playing as a pig and eating a tiger", the tricks in the officialdom, if you "playing as a pig", you will never be able to get in front of the "tiger", let alone fight with it and then "eat" him in one bite!
