Princess Nie blinked, thought for a while and then said uncertainly: "Maybe he came to the capital to learn, after all, there are many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, and he is the leader of the current department, and it is very possible to deliberately learn the manners of some nobles." ”

Nie Wang Ye laughed, "Madame's words are wrong, don't you know that poverty in this world is as unconcealable as coughing?" It's easy to pretend for a while, but it's hard to pretend for a lifetime. ”

Princess Nie rolled her eyes, "Now it's time to discuss the choice of son-in-law, what are you doing talking about these poor and rich, if Fu Gongzi is good, let's investigate and investigate, if it's not good, it doesn't matter if he pretends to be or not, it won't affect you." ”

Nie Wang Ye took his hand, his expression was quite dignified, "I pay attention to this Fu Moyu, firstly, I naturally think that he is very good at literature and talent, and he is also quite a person, but secondly, he is also more suspicious." ”

"It has been a hundred years since the separation of the north and the south, and they could still live in peace before, but it is said that the emperor of the south is ambitious now, and always has some dreams of dominating the world, and this Fu Moyu happens to be from a border city.

Princess Nie was taken aback, "Lord Wang, what do you mean...... Is it possible that this Fu Gongzi is a spy from the south? ”

The more she thought about it, the more terrible she felt, "A spy came to our northern country, participated in the imperial examination, and was in the limelight, this is ...... This...... Oh my God, the storytellers in the restaurant wouldn't dare make up such a story. ”

Nie Wang Ye couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard this, his wife is almost forty years old now, and she is always so naïve, but her daughter seems to have become smart and sophisticated, and she doesn't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

"I just have a suspicion, I've sent someone to investigate, don't go out and talk nonsense, if not, wouldn't we have wronged a good person?"

Princess Nie hurriedly said: "Yes, Lord Wang, I understand, don't talk about the shadowless thing, that is, he is really a spy, you have to deal with it, my woman's family, just take care of the family affairs and raise the children well, what do you care?" ”

Fu Moyu didn't know that he had become the focus of attention of the powerful Nie Wangye, and he didn't know that Nie Wangye had sent someone to his hometown Linchuan to investigate, and he was talking to the people who came to the capital overnight.

"I didn't expect Uncle Liu to die like this, he kept writing to me and saying that he was in good health, I didn't think much about it, but I didn't know that he had been lying to me all along." In Fu Moyu's cool eyes, there were tears.

"The lord often says that the son is the one who wants to do great things, he can't delay the son, the news of the child's high school is sent back, the lord is very happy, and when he meets people, he says that you have a chance, not only do you not want your gratitude, but also say that it is an honor to be able to support you."

Fu Moyu sighed, "Uncle Liu is too kind, such a kind old man, I can't let him be buried alone, I have to send him off." ”

The subordinate was stunned, "But this side of Kyosato-"

"It's okay for the time being, I'll ask for leave from the officials tomorrow, but fortunately, now I haven't been awarded an official, I have no official affairs to deal with, and I don't have to be on duty, I guess the officials won't be embarrassed for me."

Fu Moyu did what he said, and went to the ministry early the next morning, and asked for leave from the ministry in front of everyone, and the secretary couldn't help but feel surprised, "I said Fu Bangyan, I'm about to be conferred an official, at this juncture, when you leave the capital, I'm afraid it's not good for the future." ”

Fu Moyu said proudly: "Having said that, Uncle Liu has a great favor to me, if there is no old man, Fu Mou doesn't even have the travel expenses to enter Beijing to take the exam, how can he talk about official positions, now that he has passed away, if Fu can't go to see him off, it is against humanity, he is an official, and psychologically he can't go." ”

The official Shangshu nodded frequently when he heard this, and looked very emotional, "Emphasizing righteousness over profit, knowing kindness and retribution, Fu Bangyan's move is really quite ancient." ”

An official looked Fu Moyu up and down for a moment, "Since Fu Bangyan said that if you didn't have that old man's help, you wouldn't even have the cost to go to Beijing to take the exam, it can be seen that your family is poor, but when I look at Fu Bangyan, it doesn't look like you are from a poor background, I heard that you live well in Beijing, and you have people to serve you, I don't know where these come from?" ”

Fu Moyu was not in a hurry, first made a gesture to the official, and then explained to everyone: "Uncle Liu was doing business in Beijing in his early years, and he bought that house, and when I went to Beijing to take the exam, he lent it to me to live, and the house on the left and right was also idle, and I lived in it and saved the inn fee." ”

"The next person is also a gift from Uncle Liu, who takes care of my diet and daily life, and his old man said that since I want to take the exam, I have to put all my mind on schoolwork, and I don't want to be distracted by trivial matters, this old man is really kind to me."

Speaking of this, Fu Moyu looked down at herself, "Don't hide it from a few adults, although the clothes and materials on Fu's body are excellent, but they were not bought by Fu, they were all purchased by Uncle Liu when he was young, and he gave them to me because he had no children and no daughters." ”

In a word, he confessed that he was poor, and if there was no one to sponsor him, it would be impossible to come to Beijing, but he was above board, and he didn't feel that this was a shameful thing at all.

You must know that many people, although they accept other people's funding when they have to, they are deeply ashamed in their hearts, either they keep it secret, or they take the opportunity to deny it, and it is not uncommon for them to turn against each other.

Therefore, Fu Moyu's move won the favor of all the officials present.

"Fu Bangyan is really open-minded, the so-called gentleman, it's about you."

Fu Moyu was humble, "I don't dare to be, Fu just thinks that as a human being, you must never forget the kindness of others to yourself, and you have to repay it when you have the opportunity." ”

The official Shangshu said happily: "Fu Bangyan just go to bury the old man, don't worry about the official position, I will report this matter to the emperor." ”

What he meant was to praise Fu Moyu in front of the emperor, so that Fu Moyu would not have to worry about failing his official position because of the funeral.

Fu Moyu was grateful, and he bowed to the ground, "Thank you, Lord Shangshu." ”

Although the incident happened in the Ministry of Officials, it quickly spread, and everyone said that Fu Moyu was affectionate and righteous, and Prince Nie naturally heard about it.

"I see, if there is a squire's funding, Fu Moyu's food, clothing, housing and transportation can be explained."

At that time, it was common for the squires to subsidize the study seedlings of poor families, after all, the squires only had money and lacked power, and if the sponsored scholars went to high school, they would shelter the squire, which was a win-win situation.

Of course, the financial support of the vast majority of the squires was limited to providing food and buying some pen, ink, paper and inkstone, such as Uncle Liu, which was extremely rare, probably because Uncle Liu had no heirs.
