This clearly demonstrative action made Lu Lingxi feel sour.

Regardless of whether he came first or later, he thought he was a bold person, but he could not do anything like Suizhou.

Just like Suizhou asked him before if he could give up everything for Tang Fan.

Ultimately, because his origins tied himself up.

Previously, Lu Lingxi thought that he was better than Suizhou in his origins. He was born into a great family and was similar to Tang Fan. The relatives of the Ming Dynasty were essentially small families of ordinary people. Therefore, they could find common ground with Tang Fan more than Suizhou in terms of cultivation and knowledge.

As the saying goes, you must at least think of one thing before you can connect, right?

But now his background has become Lu Lingxi's shortcomings. He always has some scruples in his heart and cannot let go, so he is not as unscrupulous as Suizhou.

Thinking about the scene I saw just now, although Suizhou was so bold, Tang Fan did not even show any disgust. He just had a light red slight floating on the back of his neck. Isn’t it obvious enough to be in his heart?

This is what makes Lu Lingxi feel sour.

After the cabinet meeting ended, everyone returned to their respective duty room. Lu Lingxi stared at the file in front of him, but his heart was already in chaos.

Tang Fan had a lot of things to do and had no time to care about him, so he naturally wouldn't notice his abnormality.

It was not until the evening was over, and the files on the table were reduced by half. Tang Fan felt the sound of his abdomen again, so he straightened up and stretched his body. He looked up again and found that Lu Lingxi was still sitting there.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

Lu Lingxi looked up blankly: "Ah?"

He finally calmed down and started reading the official documents that Tang Fan had practiced for him, but he didn't expect it to be dark in the blink of an eye.

Tang Fan laughed: "Ah, what, it's all gone, I'm going back!"

He stood up and moved his muscles and bones, and said to Lu Lingxi: "You are living alone in the capital. It is a problem for the maid to make a new fire when she goes back. It is better to go out with me to eat."

Lu Lingxi naturally had no objection.

Tang Fan brought him to the wonton stall owner he visited most for several years. Since he entered Beijing, the wonton stall was still the same, and the taste was still the same, and the portion had not been reduced. Tang Fan was actually a nostalgic person in his bones, so he liked to come here very much, although the wontons were delicious, and it was also because of the old love.

After a few years, the stall owner and his wife had already become familiar with Tang Fan. When they saw him bringing a young man with a face-to-face appearance, they joked: "Why did Lord Tang change his family today?"

Tang Fan laughed and scolded: "Nothing is said, all I have brought are colleagues and friends!"

At this time, Tang Fan was like ordinary people who could be found everywhere on the street. He did not show the title of the imperial official, so the stall owner was naturally not afraid of him. He heard this and joked: "Okay, the young man said it wrong. This time he was a friend, not a family!"

Tang Fan had no choice but to do anything about him, and waved his hand: "Hurry up and go down your wontons, the old rules, two bowls, add some chopped green onions... Hey, what do you want to add Yiqing?"

Lu Lingxi Road: "I don't eat coriander, I just want to eat anything else."

Tang Fan said to the stall owner: "That bowl doesn't have coriander, another bowl of old rules."

"Okay!" The stall owner responded, quickly swung the towel on his shoulder, and strode to the front of the stall to get the wontons.

Lu Lingxi was curious: "Brother Tang, do you and Commander Sui often come here to eat wontons?"

Tang Fan shook his head: "It's not just him, I've brought Wang Zhi, Hui'an and others here."

When Tang Fan wanted it, his answers were always clear.

Lu Lingxi was a little disappointed. After a day of enduring, he couldn't help it: "Brother Tang, I want to ask you something..."

Tang Fan was unsurprising: "See."

Lu Lingxi: "Do you know Commander Sui to you..."

He didn't finish his words, but Tang Fan seemed to know what he was going to ask, and said, "I know."

Lu Lingxi had eaten it, as if he hadn't expected him to admit it so readily: "Then you...?!"

Tang Fan: "Yes, I have the same heart as him."

Lu Lingxi was speechless at all.

Tang Fan looked back at him and smiled: "What's your expression?"

Lu Lingxi was dumbfounded: "Yes, but this..."

He wanted to say something, but felt that it was not appropriate to say anything. Finally, he asked what he had been asking: "What if it were me? I can give up everything for you, Brother Tang, are you willing?"

Tang Fan shook his head: "I only treat you as a younger brother and friend."

Lu Lingxi was immediately dissatisfied: "I am 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 make the matter clear, but he was blocked by Tang Fan's words. The faint hope was finally shattered, and his face could not hide his depression and depressedness.

At this time, the stall owner came over with two bowls of hot chicken sauce wontons.

"Mr. Tang, the old rules, your bowl of scallions are full! The scallion oil pancakes have not been sold out yet, so I have left you a portion. Do you want to bring them together?" The stall owner asked for advice.

"Of course I want it. When will you see me coming and not ordering that one? You are determined!" Tang Fan said with a smile.

The wontons are indeed very delicious, with thin skin and rich fillings, and the meat is tender. The soup will flow out after a bite, with a slight aroma of chicken soup and moderately salty and fragrant.

But Lu Lingxi didn't know the taste and scooped spoonful after spoonful.

Looking at Tang Fan again, the others were still not affected at all, and most of the bowl of wontons quickly disappeared.

Lu Lingxi felt even more upset when he saw this.

After the meal, Tang Fanxin took out the handkerchief and wiped his mouth with satisfaction. When he turned his head, he found that Lu Lingxi had not moved most of the time, and sighed inwardly.

"Yiqing."

Lu Lingxi raised his head and showed a puzzled expression.

Tang Fan said: "You have performed mediocrely in the cabinet these days, and you can't even compare to Liu Meng and the others."

Lu Lingxi wanted to defend himself: "I..."

After thinking about it, he couldn't say anything to excuse him. He also felt that he had been absent-minded these days, and indeed he had not done anything serious. Even if he did it, he was not concerned about it. He was confused and didn't know what to say. He had not finished reading the file related to the law that Tang Fan asked him to read.

Thinking of this, he said in a dismay: "It's true that I've dereliction of duty. Brother Tang, I have something to ask for."

Tang Fan signaled him to continue.

Lu Lingxi hesitated for a moment and said, "In the past two days, it's not just because of this. I thought about it over and over again. In the end, I feel that I'm not suitable to stay in the cabinet... I wonder if Brother Tang, would you be too ungrateful?"

Tang Fan refused to comment: "How could you have such an idea?"

The cabinet is a place that many people dream of, and they can’t even get in. Now Lu Lingxi has the opportunity to take up a job here, and it took a lot of hardships to come in. However, he started to think about leaving for two days, and he didn’t know how others would grit their teeth when they heard this.

Lu Lingxi smiled bitterly: "I don't know either. If you say it, Brother Tang, don't scold me."

Tang Fan: "You said."

Lu Lingxi sighed: "When I was not an official before, I always felt that being an official was bound to be bound, and I only wanted to avenge my enemies and wander around the world. Later, after following Brother Tang, I found that my thoughts were too naive, so I went to take the Jinshi exam. But now in the cabinet, I somehow felt a little confused. I thought about it and thought, maybe I am too unsatisfied, or maybe I was not capable enough. So I dared to ask Brother Tang for something privately."

Tang Fan: "Hmm?"

Lu Lingxi: "I want to be transferred from outside, even if I am a seventh-rank county magistrate."

Tang Fan frowned: "Is it because of me?"

Lu Lingxi laughed: "It is precisely because Brother Tang is here that I still hesitate."

Tang Fan looked at him for a moment and said, "It would be great if you really make up your mind. Many people are afraid of their own way and think that the whole life is to stay in the capital to rise to the top, so that they can be called Shun Dangdang. However, I do not agree. If you can experience the hardships of your parents' office, it will be of great benefit to your future vision and career."

Lu Lingxi Road: "Brother Tang, have you agreed to this?"

Tang Fan said: "I agreed, but don't you regret it? I hope you didn't say such words just for a moment of anger."

Lu Lingxi: "If you 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 became slightly sour.

It's not yours, it's destined not yours.

Instead of begging for retention, it is better to let go.

The disappearance of a small Hanlin did not cause any trouble. No one even asked about the people who knew Lu Lingxi. Even other cabinet ministers were not very familiar with him because Lu Lingxi had just taken office for a few days. At most, they saw a strange face appearing beside Tang Fan and asked strangely.

Under Tang Fan's operation, Lu Lingxi left the capital and went to a small border county to take office. The place was poor and backward, and has always been regarded as a terrifying journey by many people. People like Lu Lingxi, who had a bright future, took the initiative to ask for it, which is a strange thing.

It's September soon.

The emperor finally passed away when everyone could not explain it clearly and had already expected it.

Although many people know that they are disrespectful, they can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

An era is over.

A new era has begun.

From the next year, the year name of the world will no longer be Chenghua.

But Hongzhi.
