Bachelor

Chapter 281 Undercover ([-])

When Ruan Dafang was dragged out of the room, the eunuch who was accompanying him was even more cautious, standing there with some fear.

"Brighten up the lights."

"Yes, godfather." The eunuch picked up a copper pick from the table, picked the wick of the lamp, and the room suddenly became brightly lit: "Godfather, do you want to change your palace clothes?"

"No need, we will go to bed and rest when we see Chen Hong, there is no need to trouble."

The room became quiet again. Huang Jin walked to the desk in casual clothes and read a few pages of the file, but he couldn't read it.I just feel that the memorials written by those civil servants are more catchy than the other, but they are more difficult to understand.The cabinet's proposals are also tricky, and most of them use the sentence "can be handed over to the ministries for discretion."How should the word "discretionary" be considered, but it is worth considering. How can the supervisor of ceremonies give instructions? Is it possible to approve the word "approved" as usual?
Speaking of which, since entering the Prison of Rituals, Huang Jin has not been able to get along well with all the inner ministers, and those old people are also uncooperative. up.After becoming a eunuch with palm prints, it is not that Huang Jin did not fail to deploy his own people in the various yamen, but he could not win over talented people, and most of the obedient and obedient ones were idiots. This is also a very helpless thing .

Sighing, he put down the official document in his hand. At this time, Chen Hong was led in by the eunuch sent out earlier.

He was wearing a neat palace attire, although his face was still bruised, but he was tall and tall, but looked very energetic.Huang Jin looked at Chen Hong carefully, and suddenly realized that the little eunuch's facial features were actually good, and if he really had some abilities, it's not that he couldn't use them.

Because Chen Hong said earlier that he knew that Sun Dan went there after his lecture in Neishutang today. Chen Hong took heart.He didn't change into his official uniform, and put on a very casual attitude to meet such a low-level eunuch like Chen Hong.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a rule that officials should not wear casual clothes when visiting. Chen Hong saw that Huang Jin was so casual and could not bow down, so he gave a deep bow: "My son, Chen Hong, has met his godfather."

Huang Jin raised his right hand weakly: "Our family has read the memorial for a long time, and we are planning to rest, and we haven't changed our clothes. You are Chen Hong. We don't quite remember when you worshiped under my door."

"Yes, my son is Chen Hong." Chen Hong raised his head and looked at Huang Jin: "Godfather forgot, when you were in charge of the inner school last time, you randomly selected a dozen students from the crowd, and your son happened to be there in."

"Oh, that's right!" Huang Jin stroked his temples: "I'm getting old and my memory is not good. You sit down and answer."

"Thank godfather." Chen Hong calmly sat on the chair beside Huang Jin.

Huang Jin saw that Chen Hong was not in a hurry, so he nodded inwardly: This guy is calm and casual, and he has the demeanor of a scholar from outside, but he doesn't know why he looks crazy in the afternoon.However, this person always loses his composure.For his mother's affairs, he didn't even want to lose face, but he was sincere and filial.This person is extremely filial to his mother, and his character is pure and good.If you really have the ability, you might as well use it.

Huang Jin was preconceived, so he had a good impression of Chen Hong.

In fact, Huang Jin was the biggest official Chen Hong had ever met in his life. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous.The moment he first entered the room, he was so frightened that his heart was beating wildly and he could hardly breathe.But at this moment, he suddenly remembered a sentence Sun Dan said: "Superior people are also human beings. Although they also need obedient people, they need more capable people. What is a capable person? It takes long-term contact to understand. However, if you want to make others think you are a useful person at the first time, you must not show the slightest nervousness and restraint. The more calm you are, the easier it is for people to think that you are deep If you want to impress Huang Jin, you must not be afraid of him, the more you are afraid, the more he will look down on you."

This is also the content of the interpersonal relationship taught by Sun Dan.

Thinking of this, Huang Jin gritted his teeth, and felt ruthless in his heart: People are dead, and they are not going to the execution ground. What am I afraid of?Huang Jin has one head and two eyes, and we, Chen Hong, have eyebrows and eyes too.He, Huang Jin, has no eggs in his crotch, and we, Chen Hong, have also received that knife.They are all raised by their parents, so why are they afraid of him?

In this way, his heart also calmed down.

In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, every form of dealing with people represented different content.Wearing casual clothes, Huang Jin sat in front of Chen Hong with bare feet, and let him see the obscene towel that he had just changed, which was the treatment only for the most confidant subordinates.

Only then did Chen Hong realize that Huang Jin attached great importance to the news he brought, which also showed how much Sun Dan valued in Huang Jin's mind.If the news he brought was really useful, Huang Jin would immediately regard him as a first-class confidant.On the contrary, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of this room today.

Although his mood fluctuated somewhat, Chen Hong didn't want to hide his temperament, and he only stared at Huang Jin with calm eyes.

After a long time, Huang Jin thought about his tone and said: "Chen Hong, you said just now that you knew that Sun Dan went to another place to meet an important person after he came out of Neishutang at noon today. It's strange for our family. , Sun Dan disappeared without a trace like Tu Xingsun, no matter how hard we searched, he couldn't find it, could it be that he really flew into the sky and escaped from the earth, or did someone know about it but dare not say it?"

Chen Hong nodded: "Godfather is right. Sun Dan is not Monkey Sun. How could he disappear out of thin air? Behavior is abnormal."

Huang Jin giggled: "Monkey Sun? Your description is apt, happy, happy, tell me, who did Sun Dan go to see this afternoon?"

Chen Hong smiled deliberately: "Godfather, there are only a few important people in Xiyuan, they are just a few elders in the cabinet and a few in-laws from the ceremonial supervisor. If Sun Dan wants to see them, he can just go there generously. He can't help being sneaky and afraid of being found out. Therefore, he must meet people outside Xiyuan. Godfather, think about who came to Xiyuan today, check it out, and you will know."

Huang Jin's eyes lit up: "People from outside, I have always been waiting for your majesty, and there is one..." The expression on his face became vivid.

Chen Hong: "The godfather is indeed wise, Sun Dan went to the Leopard Room this afternoon."

"The Leopard Room!" Huang Jin's pupils began to shrink, and he stared at Chen Hong with wide eyes suddenly. There were candle lights in his eyes, and there were two small flames dancing inside: "Is the news true?"

Chen Hong: "Godfather, Chen Hong is your godson, how could he lie to you. At noon, Bi Yun came to the inner school to teach Sun Dan. Because his son is your man, he followed them for a while and found that The two went to the Leopard Room. If the son lied to me with half a lie, he would be struck by lightning."
