Zhang Juling sat down and ate a few bites. Gu Jingran's servant Fei Shi knocked in the door and bowed and bowed: "Mr. Aunt, please come over and have a meal together."

Zhang Juling was stunned. It was the first time he had been working with Gu Jingran, so he asked more: "Did you say... have you asked me for something?"

Fei Shi shook his head: "I don't know."

Zhang Juling put down his chopsticks, got up and followed Feishi to the veranda room in the direction of the main hall.

Fei Shi smiled and explained: "The uncle usually rests here, and sometimes he invites the adults from the Hanlin Academy to chat and drink..."

The veranda room does not have the solemnity of the sacred hall, and the layout is also very simple.

It is divided into the inner room and the outer room, and the middle is separated by wooden walls.

There is a long book case, a white jade nine-branch lamp, and an ancient shelf in the outer room.

With the inner window open, you can see the green bamboo in the courtyard with vigorous branches.

Gu Jingran and Xu Li were talking. When they saw him coming, they stretched out their right hand, "Shuzhi, sit down."

Zhang Juling thanked him and sat on the right-handed chair.

Fei Shi filled the three of them with wine before leaving and guarding outside.

"Shuzhi, I want to introduce someone to you."

Gu Jingran's elegant face was full of smiles and pointed at Xu Li: "Sir Xu - extraordinary talent and broad mind."

Zhang Juling stood up and bowed: "Sir Xu."

Xu Li waved his hand, "Mr. Gu, you can't afford to praise you so much."

He also said to Zhang Juling: "If you are in the same place, you are a colleague."

We don’t have to be polite, sit down quickly.”

He was wearing a green robe and official uniform, at about thirty years old, with a medium-sized figure, fair face, wide erection and broad eyes.

Zhang Juling smiled faintly, "I heard that Lord Xu is famous for a long time, and I was lucky to see him at the Hanlin Academy."

Xu Li's experience is quite legendary. He was originally a Jinshi from the second grade and was selected after the entrance examination.

Because he submitted an article "On the Disadvantages of Current Affairs", it first pointed out that the wealth of the internal vassal states was large, and the external preparations were not repaired.

He was discovered by Yan Liang and was very appreciated. He was promoted from Shuji to a bachelor's degree in attendance.

Yang Ruo once talked to him about Xu Li, and his tone was full of envy.

However, Yang Ruo also appreciated his article "On the Disadvantages of Current Affairs".

"You are polite, Lord Zhang."

Xu Li talked elegantly: "... Please give me some advice in the future."

He also attended the day of the family banquet of Prince Yu's mansion.

The new top scorer was won over by Prince Yu and Prince Ling at the same time, and the limelight was unparalleled.

Behind him is the Gu family as his backer.

He is a hot character.”

"You are still modest."

Gu Jingran raised his wine glass and said, "Since we're together today, let's have one."

The two of them smiled and said "yes" and clinked glasses with Gu Jingran.

"Mr. Xu, Suzhi is my niece. He works under your hands, so you have to worry more."

Gu Jingran filled Xu Li with a cup of wine and said, "He is young. What's wrong with doing? You should criticize him if you should."

In the Hanlin Academy, except for Yang Ruo who was transferred to the Ministry of Justice, Xu Li was a capable person.

In time, you will become a great man.

If Zhang Juling can be helped by Xu Li in the future, Qingyun Road will be smoother.

Zhang Juling's heart moved, Gu Jingran was helping him gain a foothold in the Hanlin Academy.

"Mr. Gu is so serious."

Xu Li smiled and said, "I have read Master Zhang's palace examination articles, it is amazing, just help each other."

What Gu Jingran is thinking is so easy to guess.

But he was willing to do so. Joining with Zhang Juling would be like joining with the Gu family.

“…Mr. Xu lifted it.”

When Zhang Juling saw that Gu Jingran's wine glass was empty, he took the initiative to carry the wine pot to fill it.

Drinking is the best way to start with people. After drinking three glasses of wine, you will talk more and your behavior will become kinder.

No matter whether they are familiar with each other or strangers, they are still kept at the wine table.

After the three of them finished drinking a pot of wine, Xu Li called Zhang Juling to Suzhi.

In the afternoon, strong winds blew, and although the sun was still there, the temperature dropped a lot.

Around the hour of You, Zhang Juling handled the matter at hand and left the Hanlin Academy and walked home.

He met Yang Ruo at Qianbulang.

Yang Ruo was wearing a green robe embroidered with white squids, wearing a three-liang crown, and the peach blossom eyes were covered in darkness.

As Zhang Juling approached, he could still smell the faint bloody smell on his body.

Yang Ruo smiled and said, "What a coincidence... I didn't expect to meet you here?"

He used to take Zhang Juling's shoulders, and his entire body weighed on Zhang Juling, like a boneless person.

"A coincidence?"

Zhang Juling looked back at the location of the Hanlin Academy, "The Hanlin Academy is only a thousand-step corridor away from the Ministry of Justice... Even if I walk over, it will only take half an incense stick at most."

Yang Ruo sighed, stood still, and looked around: "Is that right?

I haven't noticed it..."

Zhang Juling ignored Yang Ruo's words and asked, "What have you done in the Ministry of Justice?"

There was blood stain on Yang Ruo's cuffs, and he discovered it when he put it on his shoulders.

"Um?"

Yang Ruol did not understand what Zhang Juling meant.

Zhang Juling pointed to the blood.
