Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night.

In the late autumn of the fifth year of Zhengde, Wang Yuan left Guizhou. Now that I have returned, it is the early summer of the thirteenth year of Zhengde, and there is a gap of seven and a half years.

Wang Yuan didn't deliberately wear brocade clothes, only a moon-white lake gauze robe, a gold flower leather belt around his waist, a small Su-like crown on his head, and a hosta was inserted in the small crown.

Moon white is light blue, which looks refreshing and elegant.

The golden flower leather belt can only be worn by third-grade officials, but Wang Yuan's leather belt has been significantly improved. In the Ming Dynasty, leather belts were not used to tie the waist, but loose ornaments, and sometimes they had to be held by hand. Wang Yuan directly retracted and tied the belt tightly, so that the whole person was even more energetic.

The small crown is the crown of the hair, Su means fashionable, and a hosta adds luxury.

Just go to that station, and you will be a beautiful son!

"Second brother, I saw Guizhou City." Yuan Da shouted happily.

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "I haven't seen it for many years, and it's a little strange." ”

Yuan Da also came back to visit relatives together, anyway, the martial arts he read could be fooled around.

Another twelve horsemen followed, all dressed in brocade clothes, and embroidered spring knives hung from their waists. With Wang Yuan's official rank, he returned to his hometown to visit relatives and get married, and he was fully qualified to bring a brocade guard.

A group of fourteen people galloped to Guizhou City.

The city of Guizhou is still the same, but a large piece of bamboo forest in the east of the city has been cut down and has been reclaimed as fertile land. The number of Han people living in the annex has increased, and a whole row of low-rise houses has been added, and it seems that Guiyang has been under great governance in recent years.

The reason for this is nothing more than the decline of toast.

Shui's Xi'an clan was busy with infighting, and Zuo Xuan's position was unresolved, and he had no time to come to Guiyang to play tricks around him. The Song clan in Shuidong was in a slump, and Song Gongzi implemented a policy of rest and recuperation, a stable and harmonious scene.

There is only one political envoy in Guizhou, and without the toast to fool around, and with the authority of changing the land and returning to the stream, even the eunuchs who guard the town dare not be arrogant.

The officers and soldiers defending the city saw the cavalry from a distance and were shocked by fright. When Wang Yuan rushed to the city, the officers and soldiers guarding the city rubbed their eyes, and then asked happily: "Is the person who came?" ”

"Exactly." Wang Yuan dismounted and gave up his hand, and asked Yuan Da to take out the road guide document.

All the officers and soldiers at the east gate gathered over, and they didn't look at Wang Yuan's guidance, but only watched around Wang Yuan himself.

"Is it really Wang Zhuangyuan? Much more powerful than the portrait. ”

"Can there be fake? I had already met Wang Zhuangyuan, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old at that time, and often hunted with Mrs. Song (Song Ling'er). ”

"Shall we bow down?"

"Yes, yes, it's time to kneel and kowtow."

"Meet Wang Zhuangyuan!"

“……”

Wang Yuan smiled and helped one person up with his own hands: "You don't have to be like this, I just took leave and returned home." We are all from Guizhou, and we only have the meaning of fellow villagers, and there is no distinction between respect and inferiority. ”

The officers and soldiers were even more respectful, and the people passing by also came to see the excitement.

Wang Yuan did not enter the city immediately, but chatted with the officers and soldiers and the common people, asking about the anecdotes, changes and ordinary trivial matters in his hometown.

The most mentioned is the champion building in the south of the city.

There is a rock in the river, which resembles a giant turtle. The literati built bridges to connect them, often gathered here for literary gatherings, and there were also elegant scholars fishing on the rocks to relax.

When the news of Wang Yuan's high school champion came back, he proposed the deputy envoy to the book, and called on the gentry to raise funds to build a building. The building is three storeys high, built in the river, Aoji is the seat, called "Jiaxiu Building", take the meaning of "Kejia is very beautiful, occupy the head".

There are two lists in the building, one is the Jinshi list, and the other is the lifting list. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Guizhou has been on the list of scholars and scholars, and even painted a portrait of Wang Yuan to hang inside.

At this time, it was late, Wang Yuan's status was special, and it was inconvenient to go to the official office to stay, and he didn't go to Song's house to find Song Ling'er, so he only chose an inn to live in.

"Second brother, do you remember this shop?" Yuan Da asked.

Wang Yuan said: "It seems that I have been here before." ”

Yuan Da laughed: "The first time we went down the mountain, it was this inn where we lived. However, the money is too small, so only Mr. Shen will live in it, and we will all stay outside the inn. It rained so hard that night, and all the eaves drifted in, and our clothes were all wet, and we were shivering together. ”

"Haha, as soon as you say it, I remember." Wang Yuan found it interesting.

Walking into the store, the innkeeper didn't recognize Wang Yuan, but when he saw twelve brocade guards following, he was so frightened that he hurriedly greeted him warmly.

"This lord is from Jingshi?" The shopkeeper asked.

Wang Yuan said in Guizhou official dialect: "Go back to your hometown to visit relatives." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned, took a closer look at Wang Yuan, and suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The grass people meet Wang Zhuangyuan!" ”

"Get up, I'm only staying one night." Wang Yuan said.

The shopkeeper got up with great joy and personally led them to the upper room, wondering whether he should take the opportunity to ask the champion to leave Mobao.

Wang Yuan had just settled here, and before he had time to eat, seven or eight scholars suddenly came to the inn, all of whom were stopped by Jinyi Wei.

When Wang Yuan heard the noise, he immediately opened the door and said happily: "Brother Boyuan, Brother Zicang, Brother Zonglu...... I haven't seen you for many years, you are well! ”

"Brother Ruoxu is well!" The gentlemen replied.

Most of the people standing in front of the door were Wang Yuan's classmates.

Tang Yan, Ye Wu, and Chen Wenxue have all been admitted to the lifting of people, and Tang Yan's younger brother Tang Yan has already made a name for himself.

Because Wang Yuan promoted Guizhou to open a separate township test, Guizhou has several more places to lift people every year. Li Weishan, Gao Fengming and other students have also been admitted to the examination. However, Li Weishan's family has money and is now studying in Nanjing; Gao Fengming's family had no money, so he was invited by Song Gongzi to be a teacher in social studies.

Wang Yuan and Li Ying's roommates in Longgang Mountain, one is named Yue Zhen and the other is Zhan Hui, who are studying at home at the moment. They both failed two years ago, and they plan to continue to take the exam again, anyway, the family is not in a hurry if they have money.

As for Zou Mu, who went to Beijing with Wang Yuan to take the exam, he had already given up the examination and served as a teacher in Huguang as a lifter. Wang Yuan secretly helped, otherwise Zou Mu would have no money and no power, and even if he became a teacher, he would have to wait for the shortage slowly.

Seeing his old friend, Wang Yuan was very happy, pulled Chen Wenxue and said, "Let's go, get drunk today!" ”

Downstairs to the inn lobby to sit down, only brought two plates of candied fruit, the wine was already poured, Wang Yuan raised his glass and said: "Fellow students, drink this cup full!" ”

"Good!"

The classmates were also very happy when they saw that Wang Yuan was not rich and forgetful of friends, nor did he have half of his official stands, and they raised their glasses and drank bitterly.

"Second brother!"

Liu Yaozu ran in panting and said happily: "Second brother, I heard that you have returned to Guizhou, so I inquired all the way to find you." ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "You came just in time, come over and drink." ”

When he went down the mountain in Qingzhai, Liu Yaozu was very thin, and now he is even thinner. He is already twenty-five years old, and he has not even married a wife, and he has studied hard, but unfortunately he is still only a showman.

Liu Yaozu raised his neck and drank a glass, sat down and said to Yuan Da: "Yuan Er is also back, I heard my uncle say that you went to the battlefield?" ”

Yuan Da said with a smile: "I followed my second brother to fight Turpan in the Western Regions and the little Mongolian prince in Yingzhou. ”

Except for Liu Yaozu, the other scholars were not familiar with Yuan Da, and they all asked at this moment: "You really destroyed a country in the Western Regions?" ”

Yuan Da's eyebrows danced and said: "That Turpan country is bigger than the whole province of Guizhou. At that time, there were tens of thousands of elite cavalry in Turpan, but we only had thousands of cavalry in our hands, which were put together temporarily. The second brother took the initiative to attack, burned down the Turpan pasture, and lured the main force of Turpan to the east. Then the wall cleared the wilderness, pinned down the main force of the enemy, and led us to attack for thousands of miles, bypassing the Tianshan Mountains and rushing directly to the Turpan Royal City. We connected more than ten cities in Turpan, and forced the enemy chieftains to the grassland with front and back attacks. Li Sanlang set up an ambush in the valley, killing the enemy chief in panic and left, the second brother took us to take advantage of the chaos to pursue, and captured the thief chief alive with less victory! ”

"Great!"

Chen Wenxue clapped his hands and praised: "As the saying goes, one body has fought for three thousand miles, and one sword has been a million divisions, if the virtual brother is really unparalleled!" ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "It's just a fluke." ”

He Tingyuan suddenly asked, "Is Mr. well?" The old disease has not recurred, has it? ”

Wang Yuan replied: "Mr. was in Jiangxi to suppress bandits, and he was injured by bandits, but he did not worry about his life. ”

"Alas, I hate to follow Mr. around." He Tingyuan said with emotion.

Wang Yuan has a general relationship with He Tingyuan, this person did not study in Longgang Mountain, but waited for Wang Yangming to come down the mountain before apprenticing. But when Wang Yangming left Guizhou, He Tingyuan, Gao Fengming and Chen Shouning chased after him and sent him one ride after another, until he put the teacher on the boat before returning - nearly a hundred miles away.

Tang Xun asked, "If Brother Ruoxu returns to his hometown this time, how long are you going to stay?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "It won't be more than a month. ”

Tang Xun asked again: "Can I go to Beijing with you?" ”

Tang Yan reprimanded: "Read honestly! ”

Tang Xun said: "I don't want to stay in Guizhou, I want to go outside to see." ”

The brothers Tang Yan and Tang Xun were bullied very badly by their stepmothers, and they were often beaten and scolded even if they were lifted in the exam. The stepmother's family is quite powerful, and their father is submissive, so Tang Xun has run away from home many times, and this time he simply wants to go directly to Beijing.

Moreover, Tang Xun was not a disciple of Wang Yangming, and he was admitted to Xiucai in the same year as Wang Yuan. This guy is very powerful, he is the first to be lifted than his brother Tang Yan, and he is still the leader of Guizhou back then!

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "If Zhong Yuan wants to travel far away, he can go together." ”

"Thank you, Brother Ruoxu!" Tang Xun said happily.

Ye Wu had a good relationship with Li Ying, and asked, "I heard that Li Sanlang has also been promoted?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "Jinyi Wei is in command. ”

"Shhh

Everyone gasped.

They also heard about it, after all, the Li family also came to the holy decree to canonize it, but they couldn't believe it until they heard it with their own ears. Li Sanlang was a bastard back then, the article was a mess, and he only thought about going into battle all day long, but this guy actually became the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

It is inevitable that there are people who want to learn from Li Ying and hug Wang Yuan's thigh to find a way out, but at this moment, many people are embarrassed to speak.

Wang Yuan drank a few more glasses and said with a smile: "On May 18, a good day and an auspicious day, Ling'er and I got married in Zazuo County. If you are free, please come to the wedding. ”

"Definitely, definitely, congratulations to Brother Ruoxu."

Everyone congratulated and toasted.

In the Ming Dynasty, liquor was not treated well by the literati, but was just a cup of goods for the peddlers' pawns, and it was also sought after in the cold land of the north.

Wang Yuan: They are now drinking rice wine, and they drink freely while reminiscing about the old days. When the stomach is full, the people are almost drunk, and they begin to chant poems one by one, or hook their shoulders to recall the embarrassment of studying in Longgang Mountain.

Wang Yuan also felt very magical, several years of time were fleeting, the past seemed to be vivid, but he had been ranked among the important ministers in the court.

He even remembered that the bookbox that Carpenter Liu made for Liu Yaozu was dead and heavy, and Liu Yaozu, a stupid person, was still carrying it to the exam.

I don't know when the banquet will disperse, it seems that Liu Yaozu is crying a lot, lamenting that he is not a material for reading, and he has not even been able to pass the exam.

The innkeeper came over with the four treasures of the study, and said to Wang Yuan, who was drunk, "Please leave the ink treasure of the champion." ”

Wang Yuan held the pen in a daze, stood unsteadily, and said: "I am particularly annoyed to write poems, do you want limericks?" ”

"Yes, yes!" The shopkeeper nodded busily.

Wang Yuan wrote: "One piece, two pieces, three or four pieces, five pieces, six pieces, seven or eight pieces." Thousands of pieces of countless pieces, flying into the plum blossoms are not seen. ”

Chen Wenxue tilted his head and laughed: "Good poetry!" This poem sings about the snow also. ”
