Chapter 183 Veteran Cadre Tea Party
According to the address given by the clerk of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Qin Dewei came to the Luojiahe House on the bank of the Qinhuai River, which is a little west of Wuding Bridge.

Informing the origin, it was important to explain that he was sent by the great Sima, so Qin Dewei was invited in by the master.

I saw a large bamboo forest planted in this courtyard, and there are terraces and pavilions built in the shade of the bamboo forest, with verandahs, surrounded by bamboo forests on three sides, and facing the Qinhuai River on one side, which is quite interesting.

There were seven or eight old men sitting in the pavilion, drinking tea and talking freely.

Qin Dewei took a few glances from a distance, this was simply a tea party for veteran cadres, and unexpectedly found a few familiar faces.

In addition to Hu Shilang, there is also Mr. Gu, the leader of the local literary circle, Mr. Luo Feng, a local bibliophile who has met twice, and Mr. Zhan Ruoshui, the master of Jijiu of the Imperial College.

Qin Dewei really didn't know the rest of the people, but he knew they must be big shots.

I knew before I came here that this is a meeting of the Hongzhi Nianke. As the name suggests, it is the Jinshi gathering during the Hongzhi era of the first emperor.

From that era to now, the shortest is 26 years!Who can persist in the officialdom for more than thirty years without being dismissed, dismissed, relegated, or passed away?

I'm afraid that those who are below the fourth rank are too embarrassed to greet people, so speaking of it, this may be one of the most high-end gatherings in the entire Nanjing city.

There must be some servants and ministers mixed in, and it seems that there are seniors who are older than Wang Tingxiang.

So Qin Dewei felt more and more difficult about today's errand.A group of old fellows with deep seniority and high status gathered together and wanted to invite Hu Shilang away alone, and it would be even more difficult.

Even if Wang Tingxiang and Da Sima came in person, facing a group of veteran cadres who are still in office would still be a headache.

Moreover, Qin Dewei thought of another question, did Wang Da Sima intentionally amuse himself?
Because Wang Da Sima seemed to be a Jinshi during the Hongzhi period, he should have known about this gathering and must have been invited, but why didn't he come!

Thinking of this, Qin Dewei trembled. Did he use Wang Da Sima as cannon fodder?
It can't go on like this!Stop what you say after finishing this ticket. Although Liang Yuan is good, it is definitely not a place to stay for a long time!Only Fengzhi County is the best employer!
With messy thoughts in mind, Qin Dewei climbed up the steps, stood outside the terrace, and saluted the old men: "I have seen you, old gentlemen!"

The old men still talked their own way, and no one took the initiative to talk to Qin Dewei. At such a high-end party, wouldn't it be self-deprecating for anyone to talk to the elementary school students first?

Qin Dewei could only stand outside, and called Hu Shilang by name: "Young Situ! I'm here to invite you under the order of Da Sima!"

An old man sitting in the middle who looked about to be seventy suddenly turned his head and asked, "Why hasn't Wang Junchuan arrived?"

Junchuan, Wang Tingxiang's name.The old man dared to call Wang Tingxiang directly without adding any honorific title, so he naturally had the qualifications, at least he must be an old senior in his name.

Qin Dewei responded very properly: "Dai Sima is busy with business recently, so Wuxia takes care of him. Dare I ask who the old gentleman is? If you have something to say to Da Sima, I may pass it on to you."

Luo Feng introduced: "This is He Da Sikong of the Ministry of Southern Industry."

Qin Dewei suddenly realized that it turned out to be He Zhao, Shangshu of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, at least in the same rank as Wang Tingxiang, ten years older, and the name of the department is probably earlier, so he is indeed qualified to put on the profile of the elders.

Then He Shangshu said again: "If you want to make an appointment, according to the etiquette, you should post a post in advance and set a good time. How can you invite someone just like that? Wang Junchuan is too impolite."

He Shangshu could speak in such a tone, but Qin Dewei couldn't accept the words, and could only emphasize: "I don't know what Da Sima thinks, and I just came here today to do something on order."

Hu Shilang stared at Qin Dewei and asked, "What did Lord Junchuan invite me to do? If you have something to say, can't you come here and say it?"

Although he was an enemy, Qin Dewei pretended to be respectful and replied: "Elder Sima invites Younger Situ to drink tea!"

Hu Shilang thought about it for a while, and said with a smile to Zhou Lun, the Minister of Justice of Nanjing, and Sheng Duanming, Qing Sheng of Nanjing Taichang Temple: "It seems that Junchuan Gong wants to be a peacemaker! Otherwise, why don't you send someone else, just send this son to invite me !"

Qin Dewei was speechless, Hu Shilang's reaction was almost exactly what Wang Da Sima expected.Is Hu Shilang too careless, or is Wang Dasima too clever?

No, I really don't want to work under Wang Da Sima, and leave as soon as I finish this job. No one is better than Feng Zhixian.

The high-end game is too casual, and the low-end fish pond game is more relaxing and enjoyable.

When everyone heard Hu Shilang's explanation, they all laughed and said, "No wonder Wang Junchuan didn't come today. He wanted to intercede for others. After all, there are too many people here, so it's hard to save face."

Listening to the jokes of the old men, Qin Dewei was deeply moved.

Although Nanjing is also known as the capital, and it is located in the land of golden powder in the southeast, it is indeed too capable of killing the will. These old bureaucrats are so insensitive to politics.

If they think about it, the king's court minister was ordered to rectify the atmosphere, no matter how he rectifies it, he will not be able to rectify them.

They didn't even expect that since there are upstarts in the DPRK and China rising rapidly, will they find opportunities to clear their positions and arrange their own people?
He Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry asked Qin Dewei again: "Has Wang Junchuan asked someone to tell you the time?"

Qin Dewei replied: "Just say that I invite you to come today."

He Shangshu didn't care and said: "In this case, it's still early today, just wait! After all, it was Wang Junchuan who invited someone suddenly, and it's unreasonable to be rude first!
It's not that the old man is unaccommodating, do you know what happened today? "

He also pointed to Zhan Ruoshui, the sacrifice wine of Nanjing Guozijian, and said: "Mr. Ganquan will leave his post and go to Beijing soon, and I will see you off today for Mr. Ganquan!

So I asked Wang Junchuan to wait first, and told Lord Hu to stay here as a company for the time being, and then make a decision when the fun is exhausted! "

Everyone said together: "That's the truth!"

Among this group, Hu Shilang, who is in his early fifties, is the youngest one, and he said repeatedly: "I will obey you guys!"

Qin Dewei let out a long sigh, he knew this would happen!In front of a group of old men with an average age of sixty and an average rank of three, what else can he do!
No one asked him to go in, and it was not easy to walk, so the primary school student could only sit on the steps and wait.

When I was bored, I was thinking about the news I just heard, Zhan Jijiu is going to the capital?He is a senior old priest with a reputation as a scholar, so he should be promoted.

However, the fourth-grade Guozijian sacrificial wine belongs to the Qingliu position, and there are not many Qingliu positions at the top, and there are only a few pitfalls in the Ministry of Rites.

and many more?Ministry of Rites?Is Master Xia, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, about to be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Rites again?Then Zhan Ruoshui went to the capital, wouldn't he happen to take over as the Minister of Rites?
When the elementary school students were thinking wildly, they heard someone in the pavilion say: "The banquet is not over yet, why don't we play some word games before we drink tea? This is the right time to compose poems!"

Another person said: "Mr. Dongqiao is respected as the leader of the Nanjing literary circle, why didn't he come to preside over it?"

Gu Lin was speechless, pointing to the pupils sitting on the steps outside, are you sure you want to compose poetry?
Hu Shilang said impatiently: "We are ours, let him do what he does!"

　Don't panic!The next chapter is on the way!
