Chapter 271 The Birth of the New Yan Party
The next day.

It happened to be a holiday.

No matter what the struggles in the court are like, the Yan family is now accustomed to going to the Changping villa together when they are free.

The name is.

Absorb the essence of heaven and earth between the mountains and fields to cultivate your body and mind, and contribute to the Ming Dynasty in a better state.

but.

Since it is the day for officials to take a rest.

Naturally, no one can control where the Yan family goes.

Early.

The Yan family's convoy left the city from Deshengmen at the time when the city gates were opened and headed straight for Changping.

This time of year.

Last year's winter wheat had grown to knee-high.

After the irrigated fields were leveled, taking advantage of the recent warmer weather, the people began to roll up their trouser legs and sleeves, and bend over to plant rice in the fields.

The carriage was getting closer to Changping.

After entering Changping, you can see many more mulberry trees on the roadside.

It's almost like taking advantage of every opportunity.

This is the eldest sister Lu Wenyan who is now in charge of the Yan family's inner residence and industry. She has newly started the mulberry planting and silkworm breeding business in addition to the textile factory.

The mountain behind the villa was cut down, dug and leveled last winter, and is now planted with mulberry trees.

Not to mention that the Yanshan Mountains in the Guangou area are also planted with mulberry trees.

If the north wasn't really unsuitable for growing tea trees.

Sister Lu, who is in charge of the Yan family, is trying to develop Yanshan tea.

Actually, the north is not suitable for mulberry planting and silkworm breeding.

But Sister Lu was kind-hearted and always wanted to bring more income to the people of Changping.

So just follow the principle that even a small amount of meat is still meat.

Changping has now developed some industries such as mulberry planting and silkworm breeding.

The carriage rides leisurely.

The breeze blows.

The warm spring breeze, carrying the scent of crops in the fields, rushed into the carriage, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Accompanied by the sound of children playing.

The carriage finally slowly stopped at the large square in front of Changping Academy.

The people here had already received the news.

Lu Wenyan rushed over from the textile factory early with Yunniang, and Xu Wei also came out from somewhere with Zhou Yunyi.

"Mr. Ge."

"grandfather."

"Old Xiaoge."

"Father."

"Reader."

"Lang Jun."

Lu Wenyan, Xu Wei and others greeted the old and young masters of the Yan family as they got off the carriage.

Yan Song no longer had the drowsy and dim-eyed look he usually had when he was performing the prelude to the imperial court. His eyes were shining and his face was rosy.

He smiled at the person in front of him, squinting his eyes and nodding.

"Good good."

"all good."

After he finished speaking, Old Yan looked at Xu Wei and asked, "Where are Mr. Nie, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Qian?"

Xu Wei stepped forward and said, "In reply to the old man, the three old gentlemen have no classes today. They are all in the back hills, brewing tea, sipping tea and appreciating the scenery."

Yan Song immediately put his hand over his eyes and looked up at Jiashan behind the academy.

He smiled, shook his head and said, "Then I will go to the other courtyard first. If the three old gentlemen come down, please invite them over."

Xu Wei responded.

There were servants from the other courtyard, helping Old Yan to walk to the other courtyard at the back.

Yan Shaoting looked at it and could only frown slightly.

Old Yan asked Nie Bao where the three old masters were going, but it was not to discuss classics.

They got together to play a few rounds of mahjong.

These four old gentlemen are now close friends.

The combined reign of these four people is longer than that of the Ming Dynasty.

But it's a good thing that these four can get together in their old age and have a hobby.

As long as you don't play mahjong all night long, it's not a big deal.

Yan Shifan had a stern face and glanced at the people present.

He sniffed, "Is the food ready? This morning, this brat was in a hurry to come see you. As a father, I didn't even get a bite to eat at home before I was dragged into the car and left the city."

These words were obviously directed at Lu Wenyan, the daughter-in-law.

Lu Wenyan smiled and bowed, "Don't worry, father. We have prepared breakfast here a long time ago. It is all what you like to eat on weekdays. Today, we have added a dish of wild vegetables that are only available in spring. It is the most fresh and delicious."

Yan Shifan immediately waved his hand and said, "Go quickly."

After saying this, he no longer cared about his son who had been framed by him.

He went straight to the cafeteria.

Lu Wenyan just smiled slightly and gave Yunniang a look.

Yunniang then followed the young minister with her people to serve the gentleman breakfast.

Yan Shaoting rolled his eyes at the back of the old man's head.

If this old guy hadn't liked the canteen food in Changping, why would I have accompanied him out of the city without having breakfast?

Now that it’s happening, you still want to blame yourself?

I’ll put up a sign in the college cafeteria later.

Just write...

Young cabinet ministers and dogs are not allowed to enter!
Lu Wenyan naturally understood in her heart that Old Yan and Old Boy were gone.

She stepped forward with a gentle look on her face, took Yan Shaoting's arm, and said softly, "My dear, you must be hungry. Let's go have breakfast first, and then discuss matters. I think it will take a while for the others to get here."

Yan Shaoting looked back at the road he came from.

The road in front of the academy is straight and connects to the official road outside.

Look past it now.

You can also see the large archway being built halfway along the road.

But the whole road is still empty now.

He nodded and led a group of people into the academy.

Arrived in the cafeteria.

Then I heard a slurping sound.

In just a short while, the old man Yan Shifan had already eaten two bowls of cold porridge, and he still looked into the pot with a look of unsatisfaction.

If it weren't for Yunniang's persuasion, there would be a better meal at noon. This old guy would have licked the pot clean.

Seeing Yan Shaoting coming in, Yan Shifan didn't look happy either. He wiped his mouth, patted his butt and stood up.

"Father, I will go and see how the fish are doing these days. When everyone arrives, send someone to look for me."

After saying this, Yan Shifan disappeared.

Yan Shaoting did not say anything, but slowly ate his breakfast while being served by Sister Lu.

Wait until noon.

The weather is getting warmer, and the people who had been out in the fields early in the morning and busy all morning have returned home.

Life in Changping is getting better.

According to the requirements of the Public Security Bureau, every household needs three meals a day, no matter what they eat, three meals must be guaranteed.

If there is really nothing to eat.

Then the Public Security Department will cause trouble for the leaders of each town and village.

The servant of the Yan family also rushed in from the front and said that people from the capital had arrived one after another.

Immediately.

Yan Shaoting, who had just finished breakfast, took Xu Wei and Zhou Yunyi to the largest room in the academy.

The house is built in a corner, and you can see the green Jiashan Mountain behind it when you open the window.

outside.

The first person to come in was Gao Hanwen, editor of the Hanlin Academy and secretary of the Secretariat.

Following them came Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue and other successful candidates in the imperial examination who had been granted official positions in the Hanlin Academy.

However, only Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue were granted official positions in the Hanlin Academy.

The others were distributed in the six ministries and five temples to observe government affairs, and a few had already been scheduled to be sent to local areas, as county magistrates, prefectural prosecutors or judges, or working in the three government offices.

After Gao Hanwen, Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue and others came in.

Xu Wei personally greeted Ouyang Bijin, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, Lei Li, the Minister of Works, Hu Zongxian, the Minister of War, and, somewhat surprisingly, Guo Pu, the Minister of Personnel, as they walked in.

After the four people came in, Gao Hanwen and others naturally stood up and saluted.

A few of them just waved their hands casually.

Yan Shaoting stepped forward and greeted the four people.

Xu Wei stepped forward and whispered, "Lord Yuan is here too. He is outside and hasn't gotten out of the car yet. The three old masters are also on their way with the Marquis of Zhenyuan."

Yan Shaoting's eyes moved slightly.

I was a little surprised that Guo Pu could come.

I had never thought that Yuan Wei would come as well.

As for the Governor of the Beijing Camp, Marquis Zhenyuan also came. Although it was a bit unexpected, it was reasonable.

Xu Wei continued, "The young lady is already in the front with the women of each family. They are going to pick a few places to visit for a while, and then go to the textile factory to experience weaving by hand."

Yan Shaoting nodded, having already explained everything clearly to Hu Zongxian and the other three, and then he led Xu Wei outside.

This time, under the overall political situation of the court, each family used the excuse of taking a day off to visit Changping with the women in their families, so they had the opportunity to get together.

As for Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue, they had no female relatives in the capital.

But the gentlemen and old gentlemen are all in Changping.

Many of these people are about to leave Beijing for new posts elsewhere, so they must come to see you, sir.

It makes perfect sense.

At least on the surface.

From the perspective of court politics, those who came to Changping today have no mistakes or problems.

Only Yan Shaoting and the people who came here today know the truth.

This was a meeting of new political forces in the court.

New strict party?
Perhaps that’s how it should be understood.

Arrived outside the academy.

Yan Shaoting immediately smiled: "Mr. Yuan actually came to Changping with his family. This really makes Changping glorious!"

Yuan Wei was standing under the carriage at this time, and he reached out to help his wife get off the carriage.

Hearing Yan Shaoting's call, he quickly turned around and smiled.

there.

Xu Yande and the other two who jumped off the carriage groaned strangely.

Duke Chengguo Zhu Xizhong even shouted, "Why? You guys are busy welcoming Lord Yuan, but we three old guys are not welcoming? Or are we three old guys not worthy of visiting Changping?"

Yan Shaoting looked over immediately.

I saw these three old men, led by Zhenyuan Hou Gu Huan, who had a tense face, also walked over.

But he didn't wait for Yan Shaoting to explain.

Yan Shifan, who originally said he was going fishing, suddenly flashed out from the side.

Yan Shifan smiled and said, "This kid is still young, how could he know these rules? The three lords are here, it is a blessing for Changping."

As he spoke, he went to meet him.

But he turned around and looked at Yan Shaoting, and then at Yuan Wei.

Yan Shaoting nodded silently and walked towards Yuan Wei.

"Mr. Yuan."

"Mrs. Yuan."

Yuan Wei nodded and waved his hand casually, saying, "Today is a day off. We are just going out of town for fun. There is no need to be so formal."

Mrs. Yuan also nodded, and at the same time praised Yan Shaoting, who had created the Changping of today.

At this time, Sister Lu also came over with Yunniang and a large group of women from various families.

"Greetings, Madam."

Madam Yuan immediately smiled and said, "Oh, I have heard that Miss Lu is deeply favored by the emperor and was granted an imperial decree recently. But I have never been able to meet you. This time, you must talk to me carefully about how to educate these girls in my family to be like Miss Lu."

While the women were talking, they had already abandoned the men.

Lu Wenyan commanded the sightseeing carriage, loaded all the women on board, and then drove away.

At this moment.

The lackey Yan Huye walked out of the academy.

"Master, the elder and three old gentlemen have arrived at the tea room."

Yuan Wei's eyes flashed, and he immediately looked at Yan Shaoting.

"The last time I met the three old gentlemen, I never had the opportunity to ask them for advice on classics."

"This time, you must introduce me to the three old gentlemen and let me learn some classics from them."

This is just an excuse and a pretext.

Yuan Wei entered the cabinet just by virtue of his poetry, so how could his writing on classics be bad?
But they all came for the New Yan Party.

Yan Shaoting immediately smiled, turned sideways and bowed to invite him in.

"Today, three old gentlemen are giving lectures, and Mr. Yuan is just in time to watch."

Yuan Wei smiled and said, "Why don't you go in quickly?"
