Farming game: raise cubs with equipment

Chapter 557
Yan Qinghe received a letter asking him to go to the Dali Temple Minister's Mansion. He has received similar letters these days, but the official position is lower than that of the Dali Temple Minister. That's all.

He felt strange in his heart, so he went on time, but unexpectedly met Lin Chengyuan again. When Lin Chengyuan saw him, he was also surprised, but he came up to say hello soon.Seeing this, Yan Qinghe felt relieved, it seemed that he was not the only one invited.

After a while, a few more people came over, including Su Chang'an. It seemed that the Minister of Dali Temple had invited everyone who was interested.

"Brother Yan, do you know what's important for Dali Temple Minister to invite us here today?" Su Chang'an said.

Yan Qinghe shook his head: "The letter I received said it was for us to celebrate."

Su Chang'an just glanced at Yan Qinghe, and felt that he was really simple, but since everyone had arrived, he couldn't say much, so he fell silent.

Dali Siqing is an old man with white beard and hair, he is still in good spirits and looks very dignified.

The three members of Yijia were awarded official positions on the spot. Although they achieved good results in the palace examination, they still need to start from the grassroots level, and they will gradually be promoted in the future.Of course, even if it's just no merit, the starting point is lower than others.If the ability is too high, there is a chance that one person can be above ten thousand in the end. Isn't the current prime minister an example?

It is normal for Dali Temple Minister to summon some people he is optimistic about at this time. After all, attracting people earlier can also consolidate his position.Everyone present thought so, and some were flattered.It's just that Dali Siqing's eyes frequently fell on Yan Qinghe's face.

He has worked hard all his life to handle cases, and he really doesn't need to rely on others. If it wasn't for a word from his youngest daughter, he wouldn't have called people over. I want to see what kind of talents the Great Zhou Kingdom has summoned.

However, the Minister of Dali Temple did not show any special respect to anyone, and it was impossible to guess his thoughts.

Although Yan Qinghe was the number one scholar, and the seat he arranged was closest to Dali Siqing, he didn't talk too much, and there was no sharp arrogance on his face, which made people feel a little strange.This is actually a very good opportunity. Dali Siqing's official position is not small. If he can curry favor with him, his official career will be much smoother in the future. Isn't Lin Chengyuan desperately looking for topics?
He wondered in his heart, could it be that it is true, as the rumors in the market say, that the champion of the new division is just someone who does not fight or snatch, but he sits there, occasionally speaks a word, and is able to connect with everyone, vaguely occupying the dominant position, as if he is indifferent to fame and fortune. It has nothing to do with it.

Although Dali Siqing was very dignified, he didn't have any airs, but he still had a very pleasant meal, but when everyone was about to leave, he suddenly stopped Yan Qinghe.

"Yan Zhuangyuan, can I ask you something?" Dali Siqing stood on top and asked quietly.

Yan Qinghe nodded, "Of course, as long as I know what your lord asks, I will definitely tell you everything."

His attitude was so sincere, but Dali Siqing was a little embarrassed to ask, "You don't have to be so nervous, it's not a big deal, I'm impressed with you, I just want to chat with you alone."

Lin Chengyuan's steps paused, and his eyes flashed brightly. He tried his best at the dinner table just now, hoping to get on the line of Dali Siqing. The officialdom is like a battlefield, and every step must be taken well. , just doing a clerical job, and he has no rights in his hands. In the eyes of others, he is already very envious, but he knows it is far from enough.

Who would have known that, after such a long period of calculation, Dali Siqing actually kept Yan Qinghe in the end, is it just because he is the number one scholar?He left unwillingly, with a gloomy expression, just in time to be seen by Su Changan who was at the side.

He is not a gentle person, so why wear a mask every time.

Yan Qinghe was not very happy in his heart, but he knew that Dali Temple Minister could not refuse, so he agreed to his invitation alone.For some reason, he felt that Dali Temple Minister didn't like him very much, but still named him to keep him, which was really strange.

"I can see such a grand event in Dazhou in my lifetime, and I feel very relieved to be able to select such a group of outstanding talents, especially Yan Zhuangyuan, who is even more outstanding among them." Dali Siqing sighed.

Yan Qinghe said gently: "I don't dare to take the title. The Great Zhou Kingdom is full of talents, and I'm just a little bit lucky. I really don't dare to take on this title."

Dali Temple Minister looked at him for a while, his eyes were a little sharp, but he didn't know if the other party couldn't understand, his expression didn't fluctuate, and he answered whatever he asked, looking like he had no intentions.

In his heart, Yan Qinghe was thinking about the intention of the Minister of Dali Temple. He also knew a lot about the officials in the court. This Minister of Dali Temple handles cases all the year round and also has contact with the emperor. It is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. In their line of work, there are many officials who fawn on them, and even more people who offend them. It is reasonable to say that it is a separate area, but it is actually rejected by other officials.

This is also normal, their scope of duties has already threatened the interests of others. It is said that after the Minister of Rites was investigated this time, the officials who have interests in the Minister of Rites must have been affected. They cannot complain about the Minister of Rites, let alone If you can't blame the emperor, then you can only blame Dali Siqing.The other officials are all in groups, but Dali Siqing doesn't care, and he is also a loner in the officialdom. What does such a person do with him?
Dali Temple Minister was not in a hurry, and chatted with Yan Qinghe about some things. During the conversation, he really admired the person in front of him. He talked about various topics, and this was because he was old and had seen many things. Of course, he knows a lot, but the person in front of him is still young, but he can answer any topic. It can be seen that he has read a lot of books, but his tone does not have the pedanticness of a scholar, which greatly reduces the prejudice in his heart.

"What plans does Yan Zhuangyuan have in the future?" Dali Siqing asked tentatively, and he began to think, if Yan Qinghe develops well in the future and has a good character, he can think about it.

Yan Qinghe lowered his eyes and pursed his lips slightly. He has now been awarded an official position and has a bright future. It would be a lie to say that he has no ideas at all. After all, people go to high places, but he is not as eager for quick success as before Yes, after all, there are still concerns at home.So even if Dali Siqing was a big tree, he wouldn't hug it.

People who have just entered the imperial court like to find a backer. The bigger the backer, the better, because it is not easy to fall down. But they have overlooked one thing. Everything has advantages and disadvantages. When two people are tied together and one party has an accident, The other party will naturally be implicated.Dali Siqing has made too many enemies, so he is not a good match. If he is only one person, he may still bet on it, but now it is fine.

"I'm planning to go back to my hometown. My parents and wife are still waiting for me." Yan Qinghe smiled a little embarrassedly, his eyes glowed, as if he didn't understand Dali Temple Minister's solicitation at all, "I came out At that time, my wife gave birth to a child, and it is estimated that it has already grown, I want to go back and have a look."

Dali Siqing frowned, for a moment he thought he had heard wrong, but seeing Yan Qinghe's serious face, some thoughts flashed in his mind.

He has checked Yan Qinghe's past, of course it can be recorded, that is, some routine things. Background, when he went out at the right time and place, he was also very capable. Even in the ten years of the Great Zhou Kingdom, there has never been such a talent.

Dali Siqing admired him a little bit, but also doubted him a little bit. Now that he had a few conversations with him, he felt that he was a good person, so he thought that he could also support him. It's okay to give it to him, it's rare that his daughter can still fall in love with someone.

As a result, the other party and he actually talked about his wife and children in his hometown. Since ancient times, it has been common for men to have three wives and four concubines. Although the other party got married, he didn't think it was a big deal.Perhaps in some small places, monogamy is common, but in the capital, it is much more common.

"Let me just say it directly. I appreciate your talent and learning very much. If you want, I can protect you in the early stage." Dali Siqing said.He has a high position and authority, and it is too easy to protect a new Jinshi who has just entered in the imperial court. If the other party has no achievements, he just abandons it. If he can achieve great achievements, he can also take it for his own use. It's all worth it.

The smile on Yan Qinghe's face finally subsided, and he replied seriously: "My lord thinks so highly of me, I feel ashamed."

"What do you think?" Dali Siqing asked, it can be seen that he is not good at making rounds with people, and he said everything directly, which is why Yan Qinghe didn't know how to take it.

In his cognition, Dali Siqing is considered a good official. He usually serves the country and the people. He even said that the emperor broke the law and the common people are the same crime. Later, the son of an official insulted the common people. He is also just. Enforcing the law, making the people call honest officials directly, has also offended many officials in the DPRK and China.

But rumors are rumors after all, and Yan Qinghe can't just identify people directly. After all, the things that spread must have undergone multiple layers of embellishments, which may mislead people.If it's true, that's fine. You can offend honest officials but not corrupt ones. He has only been appointed as an official for a short time now, so no one can afford to offend anyone. Naturally, he has to be careful with every step he takes.

Dali Siqing's boat, but he didn't want to get on the boat, not to mention whether he could protect him, but just saying that after agreeing to Dali Siqing, he would have to have a bunch of enemies for no reason. This is simply making himself uncomfortable. .

"It is my blessing to be appreciated by adults." Yan Qinghe said in a warm voice, "It's just that I don't have much ambition, and I'm afraid I can't afford the expectations of adults."

After hearing what he said, Dali Siqing's attitude became better. He didn't like people with too much ambition. What Yan Qinghe said now still suits his appetite. , that would seem distasteful.

"Do you know why I made a special trip to find you here?" Dali Temple Qing said.

Yan Qinghe's fingers moved, and his heart tightened. Could it be that Dali Siqing wanted to recruit him?He had already rejected it just now, and he must have heard it. What is the meaning of saying this sentence now? Could it be that he was asked to come here, or there are other reasons?
"My daughter is twenty-eight years old this year, and she is at the age of choosing a husband. I don't want her to marry well, I just hope she can be safe and happy." Dali Temple Qing said, if other people heard his words He must be ecstatic, and he will definitely pick up the conversation.

But Yan Qinghe nodded: "Your Excellency is right." But his mind began to wander, he also has a daughter, and that daughter looks very similar to Yun Yiyi, but it is a pity that he left early, after returning this time, I don't know if Yan Xiaobao still remembers him.

Of course he didn't know that the daughter of Dali Siqing had already seen him and was still very interested in him.The Minister of Dali Temple has always loved her daughter very much, and it was because of her that this banquet was set up.
