Zhou Lan: "It's not as powerful as Tanhua Lang said, but he only knows some skills. If Fu Tanhua thinks highly of her, my mother-in-law is willing to introduce her to her, but whatever the conditions, Tanhua Lang will have to negotiate with her herself."
To be honest, it was a bit tricky for Fu Tanhualang to do this. You must know that it was the sixth brother-in-law who wanted to hire such a retainer to worship him in the house.
Now that Fu Langjun has proposed it, can Zhou Lan still refuse?
Fu Langjun looked excited: "Brother Zhou is really a benevolent gentleman, and I can't thank you enough. Can this be done as soon as possible?"
Zhou Lan twitched the corner of his mouth: "You have to negotiate with each other properly. I would like to remind Tanhua Lang that you should be more careful."
After all, they are not servants, they are just like invited retainers. Only when both parties are satisfied with each other can they cooperate in a friendly manner.
Fu Tanhua nodded and breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Zhou, don't worry, I understand. Then I can make arrangements to return home."
It turned out that it was for this reason that he did not return to his hometown. Could it be that there were still bride snatchers on the road? Did Fu Tanhua think too much?
Zhou Lan could only say: "Tanhua Lang is extremely talented and handsome, so he has such worries."
Fu Tanhua looked regretful: "Brother Zhou, don't say it anymore, don't say it anymore, I still know that I am worth a lot."
Zhou Lan: "Tanhua Lang is too modest. Sweet trouble."
Zhou Lan followed his kindness and thanked Tanhua Lang for his introduction today: "I have to pay my dear brother for the hard work today."
When Fu Tanhua was told by Zhou Lan, she looked excited. She had planned this, but she was not modest: "If you are lucky enough to get what you want, you should try your best. I am not afraid that Brother Zhou will laugh. I am running towards the Hanlin Academy with all my strength.
But the outcome depends entirely on God’s will.”
Fu Tanhua: "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it. It's Brother Zhou who provided this rare opportunity for us to get together. On behalf of my fellow students, I would like to thank Brother Zhou for taking care of it and taking the trouble."
Then it was time to look at the competitors in the same department. Zhou Lan felt that he still had some chances.
Zhou Lan sincerely bowed his hands to Fu Tanhua: "Thank you, Tanhua Lang."
Zhou Langong handed over his hand: "As Brother Tong said, the outcome depends entirely on God's will. If there is a chance, I will naturally strive to be the best. Unfortunately, my grades and literary talent are not as good as those of Brother Xian. I am far behind those of my classmates. Opportunities
None."
Therefore, it is not for nothing that people are so enthusiastic in helping Zhou Lan to find out the news.
Zhou Lan: "Why is that? This is an opportunity that others can only dream of." I actually understand in my heart, and I am afraid it is similar to what my husband analyzed.
Fu Tanhua had only heard it for a while, and was not very clear about it, so it was hard to talk nonsense: "They do have their own plans, it's hard to say."
For Tan Hua Lang, it is not too easy to gather information. If Tan Hua Lang is willing, Hanlin will not be able to escape.
The two of them had to drink two more drinks, and of course Fu Tanhua rested at Zhou Mansion. He probably wouldn't leave unless the guests were invited.
Who says it’s not the case? After years of studying hard, no one would give up easily if given this opportunity.
The two also analyzed it. Although there were many Jinshi who had the idea of staying in the capital, there were only a few who had the strength to compete with Zhou Lan.
Zhou Lan felt much relieved: "Thank you dear brother, I show my gratitude to you." After having this news, Zhou Lan felt much more convenient.
Fu Tanhua: "That's natural. When we study, we naturally want to serve the court and show what we have learned."
Zhou Lan analyzed the news with his husband and found out that the strength of these Jinshi scholars was the same as the strength behind them.
Only then did Fu Langjun look at Zhou Lan with a smile: "What is Brother Zhou's plan?"
Then he said: "If there is an opportunity, I will also pay attention. Brother Zhou, I hope our wishes can come true."
When Fu Tanhua's face turned red after drinking and she shared the news with Zhou Lan, Zhou Lan felt that he was acting like a villain and that this was a bit unkind.
Tanhua Lang has the strength to run for the cabinet, and Zhou Lan's words are not entirely complimentary.
But this is not the time to be kind. The Eight Immortals cross the sea and each one relies on his own ability.
When Fu Tanhua saw that Zhou Lan was speaking truthfully, he said slowly: "Brother Zhou, on that day at the Deer Ming Banquet, I was between the first and second place. I was lucky enough to hear the two brothers talking. It seems that I have no intention of staying in the capital."
Zhou Lan: "I don't dare to rely on others. There are others outside. What's more, choosing the number one scholar is not based on calligraphy. If you don't have the qualifications of the top three, you don't dare to think about it."
Well, today's banquet is basically half done. This news is too timely, so there is an opportunity. Zhou Lan's expression did not change, and he felt happy in his heart.
Zhou Lan: "It's serious. Don't bring up the past anymore. No matter what happens, thank you for your kindness."
Then we got to the main topic.
Mr. Fu Langjun over there talked a lot and told me the information he had found out.
What's more, as long as the Tan Hua Lang among the top three is not unlucky or does not operate improperly, there will always be opportunities. Zhou Lan is a little jealous at heart.
So to everyone, Fu Tanhua is not regarded as a competitor. He is a future colleague, and he must make good friends with her.
Fu Langjun cupped his hands and said, "Brother Zhou, if you want, you can call me virtuous brother, foolish brother, or fellow student. Don't call me Tanhualang. I'm thin-skinned, so I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."
Zhou Lan: "My dear brother, you have splendid articles and a prosperous life. I am afraid that your official position will be in the Hanlin. I respectfully wish my dear brother a good official career in the future."
Fu Tanhua: "I think Brother Zhou is a close friend, so why should I be polite? Brother Zhou saved me from trouble, let alone what is this? If I didn't have my little brother, Brother Zhou would know about it."
Zhou Lan: "Ashamed, very ashamed." The two of them humbled each other for a while, very official and polite.
Although this is very official, it is indeed very real. No one will miss the opportunity when they encounter it. Officials will definitely want to be the best, and soldiers will definitely want to be generals. Regarding Zhou Lan's ranking,
It is indeed very difficult, and it is a wishful thinking, unless the opportunity is particularly good.
Mr. Fu Langjun has a bad face, please give me a try instead. It won't hurt your back when you stand and talk, but you still have to rely on Brother Zhou to recommend bodyguards, so I don't dare to talk nonsense.
Zhou Lan: "Thank you dear brother. If this is really the case, even though I am not talented, I will still work hard."
Without opening his mouth, Tanhualang started to go around with others, at least to find out all the classmates who had the same competitive strength as Brother Zhou.
Fu Tanhua: "Brother Zhou, there is no need to underestimate yourself. In the past, I had little experience. I was lucky enough to see Brother Zhou's masterpiece a few days ago. I am not bragging. Brother Zhou's words are probably the best among us in the same subject."
The teacher all reminded his disciples: "The talent for exploring flowers will never be easy."
Why couldn't Zhou Lan see that the Tanhua Lang was in his house for no reason? "Disciple, I've seen it."
Not to mention other things, whether someone is cheating, inviting people, or making friends, all his behaviors are very smooth and not annoying.
This was a skill that Zhou Lan could not learn. He had to admit that he was a wonderful person.
