Liu Xiding stepped forward and took Lin Jue's arm affectionately, and said with a smile: "Let me just say, once we hit it off, we will eventually become good friends. No, now we are all working together. This is too much.
Okay. I guess Master Yan and Master Fang will transfer you here. How can someone like Lin Zhuangyuan waste time in such an official position? Haha, I guessed it right."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Actually, it's the same everywhere."
"How is that the same? Isn't it a joke? I heard that you rejected Mr. Yan once, right? Oh, I really don't understand you. You don't come to this yamen, but you want to stay where you are? Fortunately, you made the decision
made the right decision.”
Lin Jue was stunned and said: "Are you so well-informed? Do you know all this?"
Liu Xiding rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "You call this being smart? You haven't been in the political hall yet. In the political hall, trivial things that happen in various yamen are known to everyone in the blink of an eye. That's what you call being smart. You refused to be given an order yesterday.
The matter spread all over the place in the afternoon. Did Mr. Fang invite you to a family dinner last night? That’s why you came here to report today? Mr. Fang must have given you a sincere admonishment."
Lin Jue's heart sank and he felt quite uncomfortable. These people were really capable. Even people like Liu Xiding knew about what happened last night, which showed that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him and the officials in the court all day long.
But the scariest thing is that I didn't notice anyone watching at all. This is what worries me the most. What kind of privacy is there? I'm afraid there is no safe place except in the house. This matter is
It reminded Lin Jue that he had to be careful in everything he did in the future to avoid being caught. Especially since he had offended Wu Chunlai and as the son-in-law of the royal family, he could not be caught.
"Come on, come on, let me show you the way. First go to meet the two adults, and then go to the public house. If I guessed correctly, you should be the same as me, and serve as the school's literary officer." Liu Xiding is still as enthusiastic as ever.
The way of fire.
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Exactly."
"Haha, I guessed it right, then we are colleagues and have the same position. We are also in the same public house. As far as I know, there are only four inspectors and writers. You and I already had three before you. You are the last one. This
That's it. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go see the two adults."
Lin Jue was a little speechless, as Liu Xiding had already said everything. But it was good, with people like Liu Xiding here, he should soon become familiar with the structure and operation of the new Yamen. People like Liu Xiding
He is the kind of person who is familiar with things, and his adaptability to the environment is comparable to Xiaoqiang. It is a worry-free thing to have him enthusiastically helping.
Lin Jue followed Liu Xiding to the main room in front. When the clerk at the door announced, Liu Xiding introduced Lin Jue: "The one on the left is Mr. Fang's public house, and the one on the right is Mr. Yan's public house. In the middle is where officials are gathered together for discussion.
The place... The two adults should be talking in the hall at this moment, I just went in not long ago..."
Lin Jue suddenly felt that Liu Xiding was too verbose. This person had a mother-in-law look, which was very different from his first impression of him. When I first met Liu Xiding, I thought he was quite steady. But today I feel a little weird.
Yes, Liu Xiding was too enthusiastic, giving people the feeling of being deliberately flattering.
This feeling disappeared in a flash, and Lin Jue didn't think much about it. After all, he was so enthusiastic, so how could he dislike him? The clerk came out and cupped his hands and said, "Master Lin, Master Fang, Master Yan, please come in."
Lin Jue nodded, turned around and cupped his hands to Liu Xiding and said, "Thank you, Brother Liu. I'll go in now. Brother Liu, go ahead on your own."
"No rush, no rush, I'll wait here for you to come out." Liu Xiding said with a smile.
Lin felt speechless, but there was nothing he could do. He turned around, straightened his clothes, and walked into the door. The light in the room was a little dim, and there was a smell of white ash in the air, which should be the smell emanating from the newly painted walls. There were two beams above the roof.
A clear tile casts two rays of sunlight, which hit a calligraphy scroll hanging on the wall. It illuminated the paper with a white halo, making the large characters with flying dragons and phoenixes on the banner almost fly away.
Out of paper.
Lin felt very familiar with this calligraphy. It was exactly the one hanging in the study of Fang Dunru's residence at the back of Songshan Academy.
'Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living and the people, carry forward the unique teachings of the past saints, and create peace for all generations.'
This is Fang Dunru's motto. Obviously Fang Dunru hung this picture here to promote his pursuit. It is also in line with what the new Yamen wants to do and what it wants to achieve.
"Lin Jue, you're here." A voice rang in his ears. Lin Jue squinted to adjust to the darkness in the room. Only then did he realize that two figures were sitting opposite each other behind a large table.
"Your Majesty, Lin Jue, has met Mr. Yan and Mr. Yan." Lin Jue quickly stepped forward and saluted Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru.
Yan Zhengsu smiled and said, "Okay. Sit down and talk."
Lin Jue thanked him but did not sit down. He was waiting for Fang Dunru to speak. Fang Dunru had a stern expression on his face and seemed to be still angry.
"First, there is no sir here. I am your officer. Don't call me sir in the yamen from now on. Second, you know what this yamen does. Everyone must work hard for the reform and must not be lazy or lazy.
.You used to spend three days fishing and two days drying nets in other yamen, but it won't work if you act like that again here. Thirdly, appointing you as the official position of checking and correcting writing is an extremely important official position. Don't let it down.
Our expectations. If there are any mistakes, you will be severely punished. Remember these three instructions from me." Fang Dunru said in a deep voice.
Lin Jue cupped his hands and said: "Student... I will remember it, sir. Please... no... please don't worry, sir. I will do my job seriously."
Fang Dunru nodded slowly and stopped talking. He stroked his beard solemnly and said with a smile: "Brother Dunru, why are you doing this? This is just a reprimand, so why bother? Lin Jue, you don't have to worry, with your ability
, you should be able to work with ease in the Ordinance Department. Just be cautious. Yamen has its own rules. There may be more rules here, but it is also necessary. I believe that your arrival will greatly increase the strength of the Ordinance Department.
, it will be helpful to the reform. What I also want to tell you is that the Ordinance Department is not a one-stop shop. Anyone who has opinions or questions about the new laws and regulations can raise them. Brainstorming and finding the best reform strategy is
Our goal. Don’t be frightened by Brother Dunru’s words. If you want to come and discuss official business with me, I’m always here for you.”
Lin Jue cupped his hands and thanked him, thinking: If I went to you instead of Mr., then Mr. wouldn't be even more unhappy. You are making things difficult for me. Besides, what can I say? Mr. said last night that he wants me to do this from now on.
Don't think you're too talkative. My principle here is to do more and talk less. I won't come to you unless I have to.
"Go ahead. The office of the prosecutor's office is in the east wing. You can go and familiarize yourself with the environment and colleagues. Understand the operation of the yamen. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it later. We still have some things to talk about here, so I won't leave you here.
Yes." Yan Zhengshen said with a smile.
Lin Jue hurriedly bowed and saluted: "In this case, I have resigned."
"Okay, okay. You go ahead." Yan Zheng smiled and nodded.
Lin Jue glanced at Fang Dunru, who had an indifferent face, and turned around to go out.
Outside the door, Liu Xiding saw Lin Jue coming out and hurriedly came forward and said, "Have you seen me? The two adults must encourage you. Haha, you are doing well. There are two colleagues in the Yamen and one of them is your teacher.
, one is a good friend of your teacher, and has a close relationship with you. From now on, you will be the third person in this yamen. I’m envious, I’m very envious.”
Lin Jue frowned and said: "Brother Liu, don't talk nonsense like this. I, Lin Jue, don't rely on this. Of course I come to this yamen because I am highly regarded by the two adults. But the two adults did not mobilize me alone. You
Aren’t they also people who are highly valued by the two adults? We are all here based on our talents, and we are here to do things together, not to get married and make connections. Don’t say anything like this again in the future, we are all under the jurisdiction of the two adults.
I am an official below, but I just work hard and nothing else."
Liu Xiding was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I am too talkative. Don't take it off, I was just joking casually."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "That's nothing to be surprised about. Mr. Liu, please take me to the public house. I still have a lot of things that I need to know from you. My eyes are dark and I don't understand anything."
"Okay, okay, please come with me." Liu Xiding nodded and led the way to the east wing. The east wing is two large rooms. Although it is a wing, the house is not simple, but more refined than the main room.
There are a lot of flowers. The red pillars and fences under the eaves have a garden-like feel. There is a row of long flower beds in front of the door, filled with colorful flowers, and the environment is quite exquisite.
When the two of them walked to the corridor, Liu Xiding suddenly stopped. He leaned into Lin Jue's ear and whispered: "Master Lin, I almost forgot to tell you. Du Weijian has also been transferred here, and he is in the same position and room as us."
"Du Weijian?" Lin Jue was stunned.
"Don't you forget who he is? He was the one who was overshadowed by you, Du Weijian, who was ranked second in the undergraduate program. He serves in the North Room of the Privy Council. I heard that he took the initiative to find Mr. Yan this time, hoping to come to the Ordinance Department Yamen. Hey
, this person is really unscrupulous. When he knew that he was promoted to the Ordinance Division, he took the initiative to apply for transfer. He has some opinions about you, Mr. Lin. In the future, Mr. Lin will have to be more cautious when he becomes an official in the same yamen.
Don't let this person make you angry." Liu Xiding said in a low voice.
Lin Jue suddenly understood. No wonder when he was at the gate of the Yamen Courtyard just now, the gatekeeper said something about all the top three in new sciences gathering here. Du Weijian was the second and second place winner, and Liu Xiding was the third best overall pick. Plus, he could
Aren't the top three gathering together? When Lin Jue heard the name Du Weijian, an image of that silent, disdainful and arrogant figure immediately emerged in Lin Jue's mind. Lin Jue and Du Weijian had only met each other a few times, but in fact they didn't even care about this person.
I understand him very well. But judging from the first impression, this person may not be easy to get along with.
"What do I mean? Colleagues are officials and they respect each other. Is there any possible quarrel?" Lin Jue said with a smile.
