The day passed quietly, but this day was extraordinarily fulfilling.

There are encounters, joys, and sorrows.

It's not a fault that people in the living world have seven emotions and six desires, Shen Xian is very fortunate to be able to accompany Zhao Shun to taste all kinds of tastes.

The sky was gloomy, and it was actually not too late, but Zhao Shun wanted to go to Snow Cottage to attend the appointment.

Shen Xian was reluctant to say goodbye to Zhao Shun in front of the door.

"Msanggong, let Daniel and Ergou accompany you. If you encounter any danger, you can report back."

The invitation this time was sent by Shen Xian's mother, Zhao Shun didn't think there was any fraud in it.

But after experiencing what happened last time, once Shen Xian was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of well ropes for ten years.

Zhao Shun understood his feelings very well, so he did not refuse her proposal.

"Don't worry, lady, I'll be right back as soon as it's over."

"Well, then be careful."

After exhorting, Zhao Shun disappeared in Shen Xian's field of vision.

Daniu and Ergou sat on the carriage and looked at each other. They grinned. They hadn't come out to work together for a long time.

The so-called Xuelu is a unique elegant garden.

This elegant garden only receives guests once a day. It is famous for its elegance and quietness, and is very popular among literati.

Zhao Shun walked into the small courtyard of Xuelu through the path paved with pebbles, and the rocky rockery inside was covered with snowflakes.

These snowflakes have not been cleaned up, revealing a natural beauty.

The winding path was covered with a thin layer of snow.

It is very artistic to step on it, but it will not fall because of the slippery road.

Obviously this thin layer of snow is also carefully designed by people.

There are not many footprints on the snow, which means that there are not many guests coming.

Among the many officials in the capital, those who are eligible to vote for candidates for the cabinet are officials of the third grade or above.

Among the civil and military officials in the capital, there are about a hundred officials whose rank can reach the third rank.

And there are about ten people who want to seal the border and join the cabinet.

In other words, the number of votes is averaged to each person, and there are only about ten votes.

According to the practice in previous years, those who can obtain the qualifications to join the cabinet need at least around votes.

Of course, this number is not absolute, it must be determined according to the network of competitors.

There are only seven or eight people in Xuelu's living room at the moment, including Gu Hanlin.

The servant hurried over to report: "Master Gu, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment has arrived."

Hearing that Zhao Shun was coming, Gu Hanlin was overjoyed.

"Invite him in now."

As soon as Zhao Shun came in, he attracted the attention of many people, and everyone was very curious about this newcomer who shined as soon as he entered the court.

Gu Hanlin pulled Zhao Shun over very warmly, and said with pride: "My lords, in the future, I hope that everyone will take good care of my grandson-in-law."

The Minister of Dali Temple joked with a smile: "Master Gu, after you seal the territory and enter the cabinet, there are still places above this court that we need to take care of."

Although it was just a scene, Gu Hanlin was very happy, "Hehehe, it's too early to say, it's too early to say, there's nothing to say."

After saying a few words with a smile, Gu Hanlin pulled Zhao Shun to sit down beside him.

Zhao Shun glanced at the people present, the right deputy Du Yushi, the left deputy Du Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Tongzheng Envoy of the General Administration Department, the minister of Dali Temple, Zhan Shifu of Zhan Shifu, and the minister of Taichang Temple.

Most of these people are officials of the third rank, and none of them are of the second rank.

Obviously, even with Gu Hanlin's contacts, he can only invite people of lower rank than himself. Looking at the arrogant expressions on many people's faces, it is obvious that Gu Hanlin spent money to invite them here.

After entering the officialdom, Zhao Shun gradually got a grasp on how to deal with one time.

After chatting with the officials around me, the sky turned dark before I knew it.

The low table in the room was gradually filled with people.

Only the seat to the left of Gu Hanlin was still unoccupied.

Gu Hanlin looked at the place in front of him, frowning slightly.

However, when the voice came the next moment, Gu Hanlin felt better again.

"Sorry, sorry everyone, Meng is late."

Hubu Shangshu Meng Jin shook off the flying snow outside the door, and walked in from outside the door with big strides.

Seeing Meng Jin coming, Zhao Shun showed a different look, logically speaking, with Master Meng's self-cultivation, he should not be with Gu Hanlin.

Gu Hanlin hid the slight dissatisfaction on his face, and stood up to greet him with a big smile.

"Master Shangshu is busy with affairs, it is understandable to be late, please sit down."

Meng Jin avoided Gu Hanlin's hand, sat down by himself, and then nodded towards Zhao Shun as a greeting.

From Meng Jin's small actions of avoiding the lonely Hanlin, Zhao Shun could infer that the Mengda people did not come willingly.

After everyone arrived, Gu Hanlin stood in the center of the venue and thanked everyone, obviously worried about qualifying.

Zhao Shun didn't care to listen to him say some unnutritious scenes, but planned to have a private talk with Meng Jin after the banquet was over.

If you want to prevent Gu Hanlin from joining the cabinet, with your own vote alone, there may be variables.

If you can also pull down the adults' vote, then the chances of making Gu Hanlin's plan fail will be much greater.

Gu Hanlin talked eloquently for a long time, and then started the banquet.

During the banquet, Gu Hanlin pretended to greet Zhao Shun with greetings.

"How is your son-in-law doing recently?"

"Fortunately."

"Are you busy with official duties? Is there anyone making things difficult for you?"

"No."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Gu Hanlin had a warm face, Zhao Shun ignored his answers, his hot face was put on his cold ass, Gu Hanlin had a shy smile on his face, but he was very annoyed in his heart.

After joining the cabinet, you must teach this boy who doesn't respect his elders a lesson!
The so-called Snow Cottage gathering was nothing more than Gu Hanlin's mobilization meeting.

The whole process was uneventful, and it can be said that Zhao Shun had almost nothing to do with it.

After the banquet, Gu Hanlin thanked everyone again, and sent them outside the door one by one.

Zhao Shun stepped on the snowflakes, stopped beside the carriage, and kept looking around among the adults, trying to find Meng Jin.

"Master Zhao, don't come here without any problems."

Master Meng's voice sounded from behind, and Zhao Shun turned around quickly.

"I met Mr. Meng, I just need to find you."

Meng Jin looked Zhao Shun up and down, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, the speed of things changing and people changing in the capital is really too fast. When we met last time, Zhao Shun was still in white clothes, but now he has become a big businessman.

"It's a coincidence, I also have something to talk to you about."

The two stood in the snow and looked at each other, smiling.

Zhao Shun's attitude is more humble and gentle, after all, he is a junior in terms of seniority, and he is not in a hurry when it comes to rank, Mr. Meng.

"Master Meng, it's windy and snowy here, why don't we find a warm place to talk?"

"Right on my mind."

The two found a teahouse nearby, ordered a pot of hot tea, and sat on the floor in front of the table.
