Wei Mingyuan knew that this incident was not trivial, and he was afraid that his life would not be guaranteed, if something really happened to him, the lives of the four members of the family would definitely be in danger. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info He can't say to anyone, in this Jiangning City, I don't know how many people they have bought, thinking about it, he must find a bigger and more honest official to tell him face to face. I remember that when I was studying under the teacher in Yongzhou Province, the teacher and the prefect Yan Songnian often walked around, and Yan Ning, the eldest son of the Yan family, also worshiped under the teacher, and he was finally the elder brother of himself and others. The teacher is honest and honest, and the prefect of Yan has a lot of praise in office, presumably it must be a trustworthy official, for the sake of today's plan, only ask my friend Wu Shan to go to the provincial capital of Yongzhou for me, send a letter for me, and let the prefect of Yan lead the troops to pay over these rebellious ministers and thieves, so that I can rest assured. The big plan has been decided, Wei Mingyuan couldn't help but feel a chill from the soles of his feet, after all, he has always been a weak person who reads by the window, and now he was forced to be a fish in a net, if he didn't want to be slaughtered at will on the board, he had to fight hard, and there was no other way. They did not move at any time, presumably because they wanted to pull themselves into the water and do this rebellious thing with them, although I am not good, I was taught by the teacher, and I must not do this rebellious thing, I would rather die than give in.

Finally waited for the day of Mu Xiu, Wei Mingyuan set off early, walked all the way to the east of the city, crossed three long streets, crossed a river, and then crossed a short street. It's not too far, it's an hour's road, but Wei Mingyuan is a weak scholar, and he always sits in front of the bookcase on weekdays, and he doesn't exercise much. After walking for a long time, my mouth was dry and panting for a while, and a layer of hair and sweat came out of my body, and my whole body was sticky, which was uncomfortable. Today's warm sun is shining, the spring sun is always very soft, even if it is bright, it does not hurt people, and you will feel very comfortable in the sun, lazy. Wei Mingyuan had just crossed the river when he saw a house in front of him with an open fence, and inside a woman in her fifties and dressed in dark green linen cloth was collecting beans. He was very thirsty, so he went and begged for a bowl of water.

"This aunt, no ah! Xiaosheng is very thirsty, can you make it convenient to ask for a bowl of water? ”

"Yo hey! Where did this come from? It's so hot, don't bring a little girl, sit down quickly, my aunt will pour you water! When the woman saw that the man in front of her was fair-skinned, beardless under his chin, young, dignified, dressed in a scholar's robe, and had a square scarf tied around his head, she knew that this must be a scholar of great merit. Seeing other people's Sven Wen, he is so polite to himself, just to beg for a bowl of water to drink, where is there anyone who is unwilling! He quickly got up and let go of the stool he was sitting on, put the dustpan containing the beans on the front steps of the house, and turned to go into the kitchen to scoop water.

Wei Mingyuan knew in his heart, a person with a reputation like himself always had to bring a small servant by his side, but his family was poor, and now although he has a fame, it is a pity that he is not qualified to be an official. I don't want to do the position of the master and the like, the master's account office and the like can't be counted as the official position of the imperial court, at most it can only be used as the private internal setting of the county official, and the person who receives it is also the county official's salary, not the imperial court's income. The county officials are nine grades, and the staff of these county officials are the lowest ranks. The county is considered an official position, and it can be done with the fame of raising people, but unfortunately it is only a deputy, there is a serious county official, so what is the matter with the county? It's not all delusional, you have to be admitted to a jinshi, Wei Mingyuan thought. As the master of this Xingzhi Academy, the monthly silver is only enough for the family, and the family is just enough to eat and wear, so they can't afford to hire a maid or a maid, let alone buy a small house.

The aunt in green brought out a bowl of water, Wei Mingyuan drank a few sips, and was resting with the bowl, when the aunt talked to him and said, "Little brother has worked so hard all the way, where are you going?" ”

"Go to Wu's house in the east of the city."

"Oh! But he who goes to drink the wine. The green-clothed aunt leaned over to Wei Mingyuan mysteriously and said, "I know! The son of the Wu family in the east of the city recently heard that he had newly married a wife, who was brought back from Yongzhou City, and I heard that he was the most proud little man in Yongzhou City, and he spent eight thousand taels of silver.

"Oh! And what's going on? Wei Mingyuan was surprised.

"Of course it is, will I not be able to trick you, I heard that the famous prostitute is beautiful, and the people who have heard it say that it is the most beautiful in our Yongzhou, and the lady in the palace is nothing more than that!" The eldest aunt gossiped out of control. Wei Mingyuan didn't know how to answer the phone when he was a man, and he never liked to talk about the rights and wrongs of others behind his back, so he excused himself and said goodbye to the eldest aunt. Re-onboarded and continued to Wu's house.

Although the sun is high, fortunately it is the spring equinox, and it is not necessarily very hot. Wei Mingyuan hurried all the way, and it took two hours from the west of the city to the east of the city. When others arrived at Wu's house, Wu Juren was drinking and gossiping with a group of people. Seeing Wei Mingyuan coming, Wu Shan called the rare guest, and came forward to introduce the upper seat, which was polite and thoughtful. After Wei Mingyuan sat down, poured wine and cloth dishes, and after two or three glasses of wine, he introduced everyone on the table one by one, this is the sixth uncle of the Wu family, which one is Yu Baochang of the same village, and the other is the young master Gao of the Yongzhou Tongsheng rice shop.

On the wine table, everyone was in high spirits, talking, presumably they had seen the world, talking about the nostalgia in the countryside seemed a little rustic, and everyone was willing to talk about the world outside Jiangning City. Master Gao of Tongsheng Rice Shop is a rich master, playing naturally is not ordinary, the world and pomp he has seen must be more and bigger, he talked about his own things in Yongzhou City, it can be said that he is gushing, eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, pouring out all white rice, playing is a famous prostitute in Qinglou, there are several who are tired of playing and giving to friends, drinking wine and wine, drunk and lying in nephrite warm fragrance. After some rhetoric, Young Master Gao's hard speech made everyone's eyes light up at the table, and Yu Baochang, as a knowledgeable village leader, couldn't help but envy: "Good girl, Young Master Gao, you are living a fairy life!" The delicacies of the mountains and seas are inexhaustible, and the silk and satin are inexhaustible, and they are even more blessed than the landlord's old wealth, I think the emperor is this kind of day! ”

Young Master Gao picked up a glass of wine in front of the table and drank it all, glanced at Yu Baochang with a smile, and sneered: "You're wrong!" Your Majesty, Your Majesty doesn't care about this! If the emperor wants to eat anything, he will be tired of eating it for a long time! What does the emperor want to wear, the good things in the world are close to his old man's home. The emperor is afraid that except for the fairies in the sky, what else has he not seen? Our kind is far behind, not even a little finger of the prefect, let alone the emperor! These words obviously looked down on Yu Baochang, and it was ugly to say that Young Master Gao seemed to think that he knew more, so he looked down on these countrymen. To tell the truth, if Wu Shan hadn't been admitted to the Juren, his father told him to be closer to Wu Shan and have a good deal, he really didn't want to come to this poor country. What he has is money, and his Tongsheng rice shop has a branch in every province in the country, and there are not a few dignitaries and nobles he has seen, and he is naturally getting higher and higher.

When Yu Baochang heard Young Master Gao say this, his old face turned red, and he didn't dare to open his mouth casually. The sixth uncle of the Wu family couldn't see that Yu Baochang was angry with the king, smacking his mouth, and the tuft of white beard on his chin moved, he slipped his tongue in his mouth, took out the posture of training his grandson at home, pinched the cup and dried the wine in one gulp, slammed the wine glass on the table and made a sound, and said in a dragging voice: "Young Master Gao has been promoted in the exam?" ”

Young Master Gao was drunk in a daze, and he didn't understand what he meant, so he just turned his head and glared at his eyes and said, "No." “

Uncle Wu said again: "Oh! Then Young Master Gao must be a talented man, right? “

Young Master Gao's brows gradually furrowed, and he said impatiently: "No, what's the matter?" “

Uncle Wu Liu chuckled lightly and said, "The laws of this dynasty have always been strict, and all merchants are not allowed to wear silk and satin, and merchants are lowly and can only wear linen coarse clothes. When he said this, Uncle Wu Liu was quite proud, shook his head, and pulled the slightly white satin clothes on his body.

Seeing that he was going to say more, Wu Shan reacted quickly, hurriedly called the subordinates on the side, and ordered: "The sixth uncle is old and too strong to drink, hurry up and help him go home to rest." The servant took the command. Wu Shan turned around and saw that everyone on the table had strange faces, and they were all silent, it turned out that Young Master Gao's face was blue and gloomy. Wu Shan hurriedly poured wine to make amends to Young Master Gao, Young Master Gao received this glass of wine, and his face slowly improved, but he didn't seem to be in the mood to drink anymore, and said that he had drunk too much and wanted to rest, so Wu Shan had to arrange for a servant to take him to the guest room to rest.
