Ruan Dacheng had some ideas about what Wei Dazhong was going to do.
Since this person wants to improve his reputation, he naturally has to spread the news so that he can get more support and let more people know what he is doing.
If he does it quietly all the time and no one outside knows what he is doing, then wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?
What's more, he also needs to seek more support from others to make his next actions more convincing.
However, in Ruan Dacheng's view, all of these are useless efforts.
On the one hand, those people might not put in the effort. Even if they agreed to Wei Dazhong's request, it would only be a pretense. When the critical moment came, they could not be relied upon at all.
On the other hand, Ruan Dacheng would not let Wei Dazhong do that.
After walking around, Ruan Dacheng bought a few buns on the street and ate them while walking. For a scholar like Ruan Dacheng, such behavior was quite eye-catching, but Ruan Dacheng didn't care.
After eating the buns, Ruan Dacheng found a tea stall and drank a bowl of tea. He felt much better. He looked up at the sky and saw that it was time to leave the government office.
Ruan Dacheng stood up and walked towards the street corner. After turning two streets, he arrived in front of a mansion.
There was a doorman standing at the door, but Ruan Dacheng did not go up.
Ruan Dacheng knew very well that if he went to such a high-ranking government office and reported his name, they might not necessarily pass on his message. Even if he gave money, there was no telling how long it would take.
Ruan Dacheng didn't have time to wait, so he just stood there and waited quietly, neither getting closer nor moving away.
The doorman of the wealthy family glanced at Ruan Dacheng with an ugly expression on his face, and wanted to come over and drive him away.
The reason was simple: there were many people who came here every day to join in the fun, taking advantage of the time when the masters went home to make friends and get close to them. This was something that the doorman absolutely could not tolerate.
First of all, you don’t know whether the master of the yamen will see you or not. If you go to see the master today, you might end up in trouble.
Secondly, you didn't visit through the main gate and didn't give money to the doorman. This is absolutely intolerable.
But at this time, a carriage drove over from a distance.
Menzi's face suddenly showed shock. He looked at Ruan Dacheng angrily, but hurried towards the carriage.
At the same time, Menzi winked at his companion, asking him to drive away the guy who was trying to flatter him.
Seeing someone coming over, Ruan Dacheng didn't take it seriously.
The carriage had stopped at this time, the curtain was opened, and the dismounting platform was in place.
A man in official uniform got off the carriage. He seemed to be in a good mood and relieved to have arrived home.
After seeing this person, Ruan Dacheng said loudly: "I am Ruan Dacheng from Shoushan Academy, and I would like to see Mr. Cui."
The doorman who was walking towards Ruan Dacheng's face changed drastically at this moment. He hurriedly ran up and reached out to push Ruan Dacheng.
After seeing this scene, Ruan Dacheng did not move, but just stood there quietly waiting.
The expression on his face was calm, without anxiety or anger, and he didn't even look humiliated by his opponent's behavior.
"Come back." Lord Cui shouted with a sullen face after getting off the carriage.
After hearing this, Menzi's body seemed to be frozen, and then he stepped aside awkwardly.
His face was full of shame and anger, and he was obviously upset for not being able to stop Ruan Dacheng.
Cui Chengxiu glanced at Ruan Dacheng who was standing not far away, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
He walked over to Ruan Dacheng and said with a chuckle, "But is it Shoushan Academy?"
"It is Shoushan Academy." Ruan Dacheng quickly bowed and said, "I am Ruan Dacheng from Shoushan Academy, and I am honored to meet you, Master Cui."
"In that case, let's go inside and talk." Cui Chengxiu nodded and said with a smile, "I don't know the etiquette, please don't laugh at me."
"Lord Cui, you are too polite. It is I who do not know etiquette and have the audacity to visit you. It was really an emergency that led me to do this. I am sorry for disturbing you, Lord. I would like to apologize to you here." Ruan Dacheng said respectfully.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Cui Chengxiu said with a smile, "Please come in."
"Then I, Ruan, feel ashamed to accept it." Ruan Dacheng said quickly.
As the two walked in, Ruan Dacheng took out a large silver ingot from his arms, walked over to the gatekeeper with a smile, handed the silver ingot to him personally, and said, "I'm sorry for offending you just now and causing you to be punished. This silver is just an apology."
Ruan Dacheng's attitude was very kind, and his smile was very gentle. He turned to Cui Chengxiu and said, "Master Cui, this is all Ruan's fault. Please don't punish them."
"What are you talking about? You're being too polite, too polite." Cui Chengxiu nodded. Seeing the doorman looking at him, he smiled and said, "Since it's a reward from a guest, you should just accept it."
"Thank you, sir." The doorman said quickly, and turned to look at Ruan Dacheng and saluted, "Thank you for the gift."
At this moment, the shame and anger on Menzi's face disappeared, and he showed a bright smile.
The expressions of the people around him also relaxed.
Obviously, Ruan Dacheng's move was quite effective.
Cui Chengxiu looked at Ruan Dacheng and a smile appeared on his face. The fatigue he had felt after leaving the yamen was now gone.
As the saying goes, when you are sleepy, someone will bring you a pillow. Whatever you worry about will come true. It seems that your luck has come, and you will surely have a successful career.
The two of them walked inside with a smile and soon arrived at the study together.
After everyone sat down, tea was brought up by the servants.
