Zhao Lin smiled slightly and said, "You are well-informed."
Jiang Yichen tapped his palm with his folding fan and said, "We don't have any other skills, but we do have some tricks up our sleeves when it comes to getting information."
Some of them are capable, but they haven't made rapid progress like Zhao Lin. Some are playboys like Bai Shicheng. Some are even worse than Bai Shicheng and haven't even passed the examination to become a scholar.
Fourteen people in total came.
"I haven't thanked you for saving my life last time, so I'm offering this to you all at once. I hope Master Zhao won't mind."
Bai Shicheng was the most direct. He asked his follower Bai Guang to take out a box, and when he opened it, there was an old ginseng inside.
"This is a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, which was given to my grandfather by one of his students. When my grandfather learned that we were coming to thank and celebrate Lord Zhao's promotion, he specially took it out from the warehouse." Bai Shicheng said with some pride.
This means that his visit this time not only represents himself, but also represents the attitude of the Bai family.
No matter which party Zhao Lin belongs to, the Bai family is willing to maintain good relations with Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin was not reserved and said, "Second Master Bai, you are too polite. Shen Huai."
Shen Huai hurried forward to take the ginseng.
Jiang Yichen continued, "We don't have any treasures at home, so we can only give you some calligraphy and paintings. Please don't mind, Master Zhao."
Jiang Yichen's maid Jiang Cha took out two scrolls, both of which were written by famous calligraphers and were very precious.
Zhao Lin accepted it anyway.
The other young men took out their gifts one after another.
In order to save time, they didn't bring too many things, just gifts like this that are easy to carry.
But it is also priceless.
Zhao Lin estimated in his mind that the total value was at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
Finally, Han Renjie said, "You are all so generous. I can't do that. I can only find a few books at home."
Han Renjie pulled out two books from his bosom and said, "One of these two books is the art of war written by my grandfather, and the other is the practice of my Han family's stick technique. I heard that Lord Zhao is interested in military books and martial arts, so I asked my grandfather to let me copy these two books overnight. I hope Lord Zhao will accept them."
Zhao Lin was moved and said, "Prince Han, you are too polite."
After all, he is from the Duke's Mansion and knows how to give gifts.
This is exactly what Zhao Lin lacks.
Han Renjie smiled and said, "I wanted to ask my younger sister to come with me, but unfortunately she happened to be with my mother at a Buddhist ceremony. I can only regret it."
Thinking of Han Shiying's domineering look, Zhao Lin smiled and said, "If Miss Han came, I'm afraid you wouldn't arrive so quickly."
Everyone knew Han Shiying's personality, and they all smiled and wanted to agree.
Han Renjie said, "Maybe she changed when she was in front of Lord Zhao."
Zhao Lin just smiled and shook his head.
He had heard from the eldest princess that Han Shiying actually liked women and that his public pursuit of him was just a cover.
"Everyone, please come in." Zhao Lin said.
Bai Shicheng and the others greeted the security first.
No matter how much you look down on eunuchs, they are still angels and represent the emperor's face.
These young men would not make such a mistake.
They were just about to go in.
The doorman came running over to report: "Master, someone else is here."
Everyone was curious.
They are all here, who else is coming?
Zhao Lin asked, "Who is it?"
The doorman said, "Mr. Zhao, the former deputy governor."
Zhao Lin couldn't remember who this former Tongzhi was. After thinking for a while, he realized, "Zhao Chenhan? What's he doing here?"
"Zhao Chenhan is here?"
"What is he going to do?"
"Are you dissatisfied?"
Bai Shicheng and the others all spoke up.
They were all very unhappy with Zhao Chenhan.
Everyone took the risk and joined the army in the hope of gaining military merit, but what did he do?
Take everyone as prisoners!
As a result, everyone suffered in vain, gained nothing, and even became disliked by His Majesty.
So they never called Zhao Chenhan when they got together these days.
The same is true for Han Renjie.
Young people always have temper.
Zhao Chenhan is such a waste. Although Han Renjie can't change the overall situation, it's okay for him to not play with him, right?
"Perhaps Prince Zhao is here to congratulate the Governor." Jiang Yichen said with a smile, waving his fan.
Everyone laughed.
It would be a miracle if Zhao Chenhan could come to celebrate with Zhao Lin.
It's good enough that he doesn't cause trouble.
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Everyone, why don't you come with me to see what our Zhao Hanlin is going to do."
Zhao Chenhan now returns to the Hanlin Academy to continue his work as a Hanlin.
Zhao Lin brought his men to the outside of the government office.
"Zhao Hanlin, you've come all this way. What brings you here?"
Zhao Lin was too lazy to talk nonsense and didn't invite Zhao Chenhan in. He asked directly.
Zhao Chenhan didn't answer, but looked at Bai Shicheng and others and asked, "Why are you here?"
Zhao Chenhan's face looked very unhappy.
Zhao Chenhan was already very conflicted, and he forced himself to endure it temporarily, so he could barely get through it. But when he saw Bai Shicheng and his group were there, he immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and felt annoyed at the same time.
This group of people often get together recently, but no one invites me.
Now he comes to Zhao Lin again, what is he doing?
Han Renjie coughed lightly and said, "We are here to thank Lord Zhao for saving our lives."
He didn't want Zhao Chenhan to look bad, so he didn't say that he came specifically to celebrate Zhao Lin's promotion to governor.
The others are also very smart.
You can say whatever you want behind someone's back, but you still have to save face.
Just as Han Yuehua said, as long as the 200,000 troops under Zhao Jingzhou are still there, no one dares to underestimate the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
Zhao Chenhan was angry.
Before I came here, these people were still in the capital, but they arrived here today, even faster than I did.
