The Heart of the Red Chamber

Wang Xifeng took Xue Baochai to Jia's house to play, and was stayed by Shi Taijun for a few days. After Xue Pan went to Jia's house to study, he suddenly found that he was not the only one who didn't like studying, but liked eating, drinking and having fun. People are there, Mr. Xue grows up, and Mr. Xue flatters him shortly. Under the seduction of the group of dandies who are full of five poisons and almost do everything, Xue Pan degenerates quickly and without any room for turning back in this colorful world like Chang'an. up.

"Hey, Zijing, have you heard that Beijing Jing Wang Shuirong killed another concubine!" Chen Yejun scalded a piece of translucent venison in a hot pot, dipped it in fermented bean curd sauce and sent it to the table. mouth, and then approached Wang Ren with a smile, and said in a low voice.

Wang Ren was taken aback for a moment, he was not very clear about these things, and asked with some doubts: "No way, I heard that Prince Beijing is a very gentle person!"

Chen Yejun curled his lips: "What gentleness, that's just pretending to be seen by outsiders! Shui Rong is an unlucky guy, his father died too early, and he inherited the throne at the age of 14. As a result, because of his young age, the emperor Just follow the trend to deprive the military power of Prince Beijing's mansion. Now, although Shui Rong bears the name of a county king, in terms of real power, he is not even comparable to a county magistrate! Even if it refers to marriage, it refers to the princess. His status is noble, but in fact, all the able-bodied people in his natal family have died, so, among the four kings with different surnames, the Beijing Palace is the weakest. So frustrated, what else can he do other than venting his anger on those concubines?"

Wang Ren fished out a chopstick vermicelli from the pot, and said in his mouth: "This is a good fortune, but I don't know if it is a blessing. The Beijing Palace has no real power, but it is easier to preserve it!"

"It's true!" Chen Yejun nodded, "This man, once he has his own thoughts, he can't settle down! It's just a few concubines who prostitute children, and they are also lowly, so they will die if they die. ! As long as the Beijing Palace remains so peaceful, the emperor will not bother to care about it!" If he is restless, the emperor is worried that he has no reason to get rid of a king with a different surname.

Wang Ren naturally understood what Chen Yejun meant. Chen Yejun had been promoted again in the Department of General Affairs, and now he has a sixth-rank experience. It can be said that it is not easy to get into this position at this age.

Wang Ren glanced at Chen Yejun with some concern. The General Secretary was doing intelligence work on the surface. In fact, his duties were similar to those of Jinyiwei and Dongxichang in the previous dynasty. It is easy to gain the emperor's trust in this kind of yamen. But it is also easy to be angered by others. Wang Ren ate a mouthful of shiitake mushrooms, and then said in a low voice: "If you have other choices, you should find a way to transfer the Secretary of the General Administration!"

Chen Yejun was taken aback, and looked at Wang Ren: "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden!"

Wang Ren sighed softly: "You are a smart person, and you should know that once you have the background of the Secretary of the General Administration, you will probably be trapped in it for the rest of your life in the future! Now that your official position is still small and you have not been involved deeply, you can still get out. In the future It would be very difficult to get away! Throughout the ages, those who have controlled private matters for emperors, not to mention their reputations, are..." Wang Ren did not continue, but his eyes could not hide his worry.

Chen Yejun put down his chopsticks, stretched out his hand to hold Wang Ren's hand, looked into Wang Ren's eyes, and said softly, "Are you worried about me?"

Wang Ren said unhappily: "Naturally, I have always regarded you as a good friend. You seem to be in a safe situation now, but in the long run, it is really worrying! I naturally want to remind one or two, it doesn't matter if you listen or not. If I don't say it, Aren't you sorry for our friendship!" Having said this, Wang Ren became a little annoyed.

Chen Yejun laughed, and it took a long time before he said: "I'm very happy! But don't worry, I'm in the General Administration Department as an expedient measure, so naturally I can't stay here forever! You know, the Chen family is also The relatives of the royal family, how can such a vital department be placed in the hands of my family, therefore, I will be promoted one or two levels at most, and I should be transferred to the sixth department!"

"That's good!" Wang Ren nodded, and said in a slightly sour tone on purpose, "Speaking of which, it's good to have a good relative. I'm still from a major, and I'm still at the seventh rank. You're still at the sixth rank. Already!"

Chen Yejun smiled and said: "Don't worry, the main reason is that you are too young now, the emperor wants to hone you for two years! Do you still remember the last time the emperor said that he wants to let you enter the household department? What a fat difference!"

"Fat or not!" Wang Ren rolled his eyes at Chen Yejun, "Could it be that I'm the kind of person who becomes an official for thousands of miles just for money! But speaking of it, I was admitted to Tanhua because my husband taught me well. Secondly, the emperor loves you, if you really want to talk about knowledge, it’s nothing more than that, instead of wasting your youth in the Imperial Academy, it’s better to do some practical work, even if you let it out!”

"What's so good about putting it out!" Chen Yejun was anxious when he heard it, and said quickly, "You can only be a county magistrate at your age. How many counties are there in this dynasty? If you don't have a chance, it won't take long. The emperor just forgot about you, it will not be easy to go back to Chang'an by then!"

"That's true!" Wang Ren said before, how good it is to be in Chang'an, surrounded by his father and husband, and now he has registered with the emperor, and his future is bright, especially in Chang'an The material conditions here are considered to be the best in the whole country. If you go to other places, you have to start everything from scratch, so it is naturally not as comfortable as in Chang'an.Wang Ren lived two lifetimes, so he didn't want to make trouble for himself!

Seeing that Wang Ren seemed to have given up his mind, Chen Yejun quickly poured Wang Ren a glass of wine and said, "Actually, don't worry, there will be another test this year, and the Imperial Academy will recruit another group of people, and some of the previous people will be transferred out." , part of it should be moved! Since the emperor wants to use you, he should give you a relatively high starting point. If you don't give you a promotion, you will be transferred to another place in the future, and you will have to do odd jobs. What can you do? Come!"

Wang Ren rolled his eyes in his heart. Some of the protagonists in his novels were promoted in an honest and orderly manner. It wasn’t just a word from the emperor. , The fate of the commander-in-chief of the first army, I can only suffocate in this way, it is really depressing.

Chen Yejun naturally didn't know what Wang Ren was muttering in his heart. He looked at Wang Ren's face flushed from the heat in the room. The relationship between spicy oil is more rosy, even the few drops of sweat on his forehead, he feels that it is sexy in his heart.He didn't know when he fell in love with such a person who could be regarded as dull and heartless, but he never dared to speak, so he could only look at him like this. Although he didn't belong to him, he didn't belong to others either. However, soon, there will be a woman entering his life. Chen Yejun once checked Lin Wan. She is a standard lady, with a cheerful disposition, who knows how to be popular, and who knows poetry and painting. There should be few such women as wives. Can refuse it.Chen Yejun felt the taste of jealousy, and almost twisted his heart into a twist.

Wang Ren was eating a piece of frozen tofu dipped in sesame paste, a little sesame paste sticking to the corner of his mouth.Chen Yejun stretched out his finger subconsciously, touched the corner of Wang Ren's lips, and then brushed Wang Ren's lower lip. Wang Ren was stunned, and saw Chen Yejun retract his finger as if nothing had happened, and said: "The sauce is on the corner of the mouth. Already!"

Wang Ren licked the corner of his mouth subconsciously, and then asked, "Is there any more?"

Chen Yejun saw that his heart was almost on fire, and the finger that touched the corner of Wang Ren's lips just now seemed to be burning hot. He suppressed his beating heart and said, "No more!"

Wang Ren didn't wake up for a while because he was thinking wildly and drank some wine. Now he suddenly felt that something was wrong. This behavior seems to be a bit over the top!Somewhat hastily, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his face: "Oh, no, it's good if there is no!" He didn't ask Chen Yejun what was on his mind, for fear of coming up with an answer that would shock him.
