This obvious demonstration made Lu Lingxi feel sour.
Regardless of whether he came first or not, he thought he was also a bold person, but he couldn't do something like Suizhou.
Just like Sui Zhou asked him if he could give up everything for Tang Fan.
In the final analysis, because his origins bound him.
Previously, Lu Lingxi thought that he was better than Suizhou in terms of his birth. He was born in an aristocratic family, similar to that of Tang Fan. The relatives of the Ming Dynasty were essentially the door of a small family of commoners, so both in terms of self-cultivation and knowledge, they were better than Suizhou. More in common with Tang Fan.
As the so-called heart-to-heart connection, at least you have to think about one thing before you can communicate, right
But now his background has become Lu Lingxi's shortcoming. He always has some scruples in his heart and can't let go of his hands and feet, so he is not as reckless as Suizhou.
Thinking about the scene he just saw, although Sui Zhou was so bold, Tang Fan didn't even show any disgust. It was just a light red on the back of his neck. Isn't it obvious enough
This is what makes Lu Lingxi feel sour.
After the cabinet meeting was over, everyone returned to their respective duty rooms. Lu Lingxi's eyes were fixed on the file in front of him, but his heart was already confused.
Tang Fan has a lot of things at hand, and he doesn't have time to take care of him, so naturally he won't notice his abnormality.
It wasn't until the evening that the value was scattered for a long time, the files on the table were reduced by more than half, and Tang Fan felt a rumbling in his stomach again, so he straightened up and stretched, and when he looked up again, he found that Lu Lingxi was still sitting there.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Lu Lingxi looked up blankly: "Huh?"
He finally calmed down and started to read the official documents that Tang Fan had given him to practice, but he didn't expect it to be dark in the blink of an eye.
Tang Fan burst into laughter: "Ah what, it's all gone, let's go, go back!"
He stood up and flexed his muscles, and then said to Lu Lingxi, "You are living alone in the capital. It's a hassle for your maid to start cooking again when you go back to the capital. Why don't you go out and eat with me."
Lu Lingxi naturally had no objection.
Tang Fan took him to the wonton stall owner that he frequented the most. For several years, since he entered Beijing, the wonton stall was still the same, and the taste was still the same, and even the weight had not been reduced. Tang Fan was actually nostalgic in his bones. So he likes to come here very much, not only because the wontons are delicious, but also because of the old love among them.
After a few years, the husband and wife of the stall owner have already known Tang Fan well. Seeing that he brought a young man from his face, they joked, "Why has Mr. Tang changed his family today?"
Tang Fan laughed and scolded: "Nonsense, all I bring are colleagues and friends!"
At this time, Tang Fan was just like ordinary people who can be found everywhere on the street. He didn't show the profile of the court's official, and the stall owner was naturally not afraid of him. This time it's a friend, not a family member!"
Tang Fan couldn't help him, so he waved his hand: "Hurry up and get your wontons, it's an old rule, two bowls, add more chopped green onion... Hey, what do you want to add, Yiqing?"
Lu Lingxi said: "I don't eat coriander, the rest is optional."
Tang Fan said to the stall owner, "That bowl doesn't need coriander, and the other bowl is old rules."
"Okay!" The stall owner responded, swiftly threw the towel over his shoulder, and strode to the front of the stall to place the wontons.
Lu Lingxi was curious: "Brother Tang, do you and Sui Commander come here often to eat wontons?"
Tang Fan shook his head: "Not only with him, I brought Wang Zhi, and Gong Hui'an and the others came here."
When Tang Fan wanted it, his answer was always watertight.
Lu Lingxi was a little disappointed, and he endured it for a day, but in the end he couldn't hold back: "Brother Tang, I want to ask you something..."
Tang Fan was calm: "Just ask."
Lu Lingxi: "Did you know that the Sui commander was treating you...?"
He didn't finish his words, but Tang Fan seemed to know what he was going to ask, so he said, "I know."
Lu Lingxi had already eaten it, as if he didn't expect him to admit it so readily: "Then you...?!"
Tang Fan: "Yes, my heart is with him."
Lu Lingxi was completely speechless.
Tang Fan looked back at him and smiled: "What is your expression?"
Lu Lingxi was dumbfounded: "Yes, but this..."
He wanted to say something, but felt it was inappropriate to say anything, and finally asked what he had always wanted to ask: "What if it was me? I can also give up everything for you, Big Brother Tang, are you willing?"
Tang Fan shook his head: "I only treat you as a brother and a friend."
Lu Lingxi was immediately dissatisfied: "I'm not much worse than him!"
Tang Fan smiled slightly: "It has nothing to do with good or bad, it's not that person, it's not right."
Lu Lingxi had nothing to say. He finally mustered up the courage to clarify the matter, but was blocked by Tang Fan with a single word. His faint hope was finally dashed, and his face could not hide his frustration.
At this time, the stall owner came over with two bowls of hot chicken ravioli.
"Master Tang, it's an old rule. Your bowl is full of chopped green onions! The scallion pancakes are not sold out today. I've reserved a portion for you. Would you like to serve them together?" the stall owner asked for credit.
"Of course I want it. When do you see me here and don't order that, you have a heart!" Tang Fan said with a smile.
The wontons do taste very good, the skin is thin and filling, the meat is tender and tender, and the soup flows out after a bite, with a slight chicken soup fragrance, and the salty fragrance is moderate.
But Lu Lingxi didn't know how to eat it, scooping spoonfuls after spoonfuls.
Looking at Tang Fan again, they were still unaffected, and most of the wontons soon disappeared.
Seeing this, Lu Lingxi was even more heartbroken.
After the meal was over, Tang Fan satisfactorily took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth. Turning his head, he found that most of Lu Lingxi had not moved, and sighed secretly.
"Yiqing."
Lu Lingxi raised his head with a puzzled expression.
Tang Fan said: "Your performance in the cabinet these days is mediocre, not even comparable to Liu Meng and the others."
Lu Lingxi wanted to defend: "I..."
After thinking about it, he couldn't say anything to justify it. He also felt that he was absent-minded these days. It was true that he didn't do anything serious. Even if he did, he didn't pay attention to it. He has yet to read the dossier related to the cultivation of laws.
Thinking of this, he discouraged: "It's true that I have neglected my duty, Brother Tang, I have something to ask for."
Tang Fan motioned for him to continue.
Lu Lingxi hesitated for a moment, and said, "In the past two days, it's not just because of this matter. I've thought about it over and over again. After all, I don't think I'm suitable to stay in the cabinet... I wonder if you, Brother Tang, are too ignorant of me?"
Tang Fan was noncommittal: "How could you have such an idea?"
The cabinet is a place that many people dream of, and they can't get in if they want to. Now Lu Lingxi has the opportunity to work here, and it took a lot of hard work to come in, but after two days, he started thinking about leaving, and he didn't know that others heard this. How to grit your teeth.
Lu Lingxi smiled bitterly: "I don't know either. If you say it, Brother Tang, don't scold me."
Tang Fan: "You say."
Lu Lingxi sighed: "When I was not an official before, I always felt that I was constrained by being an official, and I only wanted to rejoice in revenge and wander the rivers and lakes. Later, when I followed Brother Tang, I found that this kind of thinking was too naive, so I would go I passed the jinshi examination, but now I am in the cabinet, I don’t know why, but I feel a little confused. I thought and thought, maybe I am too unsatisfied, or maybe I am not competent enough. So I dared to ask Tang in private. One thing, brother."
Tang Fan: "Huh?"
Lu Lingxi: "I want to be transferred, even if it is any seventh-rank magistrate."
Tang Fan frowned: "Is it because of me?"
Lu Lingxi laughed: "Because of the presence of Big Brother Tang, it is the reason why I am still hesitant."
Tang Fan looked at him for a moment, and said, "If you really make up your mind, it's not bad. Many people are afraid of outsiders and think that there is nothing better than staying in the capital for a lifetime to be smooth and smooth, but I don't agree. If you can experience the hardships and difficulties of parental officials, it will be of great benefit to your future career and career."
Lu Lingxi said, "Brother Tang, with that being said, you agreed?"
Tang Fan said, "I agreed, but don't you regret it? I hope you didn't say such a thing just to get angry for a while."
Lu Lingxi: "I don't regret it, it's not a gamble."
Tang Fan smiled and patted his shoulder: "Since you don't regret it, I will help you."
Feeling the warmth on his shoulders, Lu Lingxi's heart moved first, and then it was slightly sour.
It's not your own, it's not your own after all.
Rather than begging to stay, let go.
The disappearance of a little Hanlin did not cause any disturbances. Except for those who knew Lu Lingxi, no one even asked. Even other cabinet ministers, because Lu Lingxi had only been in office for a few days, they were not very familiar with him. At most, they saw Tang Fan. A new face appeared beside him, and he asked strangely.
Under the operation of Tang Fan, Lu Lingxi left the capital and took office in a small border county. Because of its poverty and backwardness, that place has always been regarded as a dreadful way by many people. People like Lu Lingxi, who had a bright future, took the initiative to ask to go. This cannot be done. Not to mention a miracle.
It's almost September.
Under the circumstances that everyone could not say clearly and had already expected, the emperor finally died.
Although many people knew that this was disrespectful, they couldn't help it and breathed a sigh of relief.
An era is over.
A new era has begun.
From the next year, the era of the world will no longer be Chenghua.
It was Hiroshi.
