Zhou Shuren, you're no fool; the Ministry of Justice is never idle. "You came just in time, I brought some fine tea from home."
"Looks like my luck isn't too bad."
The water in Zhou Shuren's room was always boiling, and the tea was soon brewed. He did not inquire about the Minister of Justice's intentions, and the two engaged in idle chat.
The Minister of Justice sipped the tea, silently cursing in his heart. If he didn't speak up, this one wouldn't initiate the conversation. "I heard the Ministry of Revenue has five or six open positions?"
Zhou Shuren raised his eyes, "Do you have young men in your family?"
The Minister of Justice knew that without a clear explanation, this one wouldn't take the bait. "I have three daughters at home, and my youngest daughter's husband is a Scholar at the Hanlin Academy, with the three-year evaluation approaching. After much thought, I came to ask for tea here."
