Fan Jin's resignation was actually explained to Wanli a few days ago, as for the selection of Shu Chang into the palace to accompany Reading Yunyun, it is nothing more than a double reed play performed by Wanli and Fan Jin, and the purpose is to cooperate with Fan Jin to promote his reputation. The little emperor is still very interested in fooling Shilin Junzi and acting in a good show, and with the help of Feng Bao and Empress Dowager Li, Wanli will naturally not refuse to cooperate with Fan Jin.

But from this matter, Fan Jin also felt that this little emperor was not the kind of benevolent monarch and holy lord he imagined, and he was not even a simple lover of the past. He is really close to himself, and every day after the lecture, he will pull himself to chat. Ask about folk customs, the market or the way of learning, but in the end, all of them are women's topics.

One of the reasons why Fan Jin was able to resign smoothly this time was that the chivalrous woman he saw last time should be acting in the southeast, and Wanli immediately approved it and let him go to Jiangnan to find beauties. In the heart of this son of heaven, whether it is a bosom friend or an idol, he can't compete with the lethality of a beauty, and if he wants to rely on his identity as a confidant brother, he will have a firm position in the court in the future, but I am afraid that he will not be able to do it. This is also one of the reasons why Fan Jin insisted on going south, staying has little effect, but because of the sensitive location, it is easy to be envied and criticized.

Moreover, Li Cailian must enter the palace by herself, and it will be a big trouble to be seen through by others over time. Now that he is gone, all that is left in the palace is the legend, and in the heart of the Son of Heaven, there is only the good side.

Although he will most likely not return to Beijing for a short time, this kind of thing is tacitly understood by him and Zhang Juzheng, and on the surface, he has to pretend that he is just giving it away. Guan and Fan brought two servants, and the woman had only one Zheng Chan. Qian Caiyin stayed in Beijing as a left-behind person, and as for whether she was willing to go to the southeast to find Fan Jin in the future, that was her own choice.

Qian Caiyin's own private money Fan Jin has not spent it, and of the eight hundred taels of silver sent by Zhang Guowei, five hundred taels are stored in the Feng family's money village, and the stamps and money folds are in Qian Caiyin's hands. If it were to be settled, the money would be enough to pay her severance pay.

With the silver taels that Fan Jin had on hand, plus Li Cailian, a big financier, it was enough to pay for the funeral. borrowed money from Feng Bao's money village, not only to further show favor to the Sha family's mother and son, but also to deal with Feng Bao in disguise. Feng Bao must know about his personal relationship with Li Cailian, borrowing money is equivalent to giving gifts, in fact, it is to show goodwill to Feng Bao, and the latter can understand it.

Thinking about these things in his mind, Fan Jin didn't speak for a long time, and when he was sharpened at noon, Jiyin took a handkerchief to wipe Fan Jin's face, and said cautiously: "Father-in-law, you haven't spoken all the way, are you angry?" ”

"Angry? Gas what? ”

"The angry boy has become a drag on you. If there are no children, the father-in-law can return to Beijing to be a Hanlin, and later join the cabinet as a Zaifu. The child knows that we have mistaken the future of our father-in-law, and in the future, the child will definitely study hard, make a great reputation, and honor your old man. The child swore to heaven that he must be a cabinet elder so that he could be filial to his father......"

Fan Jin looked at his serious appearance, smiled slightly, and patted him on the head. "It's comforting at a young age, okay, go back and take care of your mother. Your stepfather is a man, not so fragile. It's just an old position, and it doesn't matter as much as my godson, so don't worry about me. ”

At this time, Zheng Chan also came over and pinched Hua Jiyin's face and said: "Xiao Guanbao is so handsome, grow up quickly, I don't know how many girls can be fascinated." Go take care of your mother, I'm here. ”

After flowering, she generously leaned on Fan Jin and sat down, wearing a new water blue jacket skirt, the waist was very thin, showing her graceful figure, revealing a pair of pink embroidered shoes under the skirt, swaying lightly in front of Fan Jin, and then covering it with a skirt.

She leaned on Fan Jin's ear and said, "Master, do you know that the lady of the Sha family doesn't look like the wife of the official family, but she actually has big feet." Those feet are bigger than the slave's. ”

"Nonsense, how do I know if her feet are big and her feet are small? Besides, I don't care what her feet do, and don't talk nonsense. Now their mother and son are already uneasy, and if you frighten them with your nonsense, I won't agree. ”

"I know, and I only tell you. The Sha clan is very timid, even Guan Qing and Fan Zhigao are afraid, if they encounter the tragedy of the slave family, they don't know if she will have a way to live. ”

"Actually, she is also miserable, otherwise she would not be what she is now...... Forget it, don't mention her, let's talk about you. Do you regret coming out with me? After all, if I leave, what Hanlin, Pavilion Lao, all of them will be gone. In the future, I will just be an official, the official is big and the official is small, and I can't say well about the Beijing official and the foreign official. Maybe you won't be able to go back to the capital for the rest of your life. It's not far from Jingshi now, if you regret it, it's still too late to go back. ”

Zheng Chan shook her head, "What are you doing back to Beijing?" Continuing the strings for the past minister? Boring. I've seen people like Master Fan, and then let me go back to face such mundane things, how can I get by? Besides, even if he says that he doesn't care about the past of the slave family, he will raise his mouth in the future, and he will have to talk about that matter, I can't hold my head up in his family for the rest of my life, and it's not interesting to say that I am a wife. Only Master Fan really doesn't take those things as shortcomings, and is willing to treat me as a person, and you know that although you are a maid, you will not use the slave family as an animal, let alone sell it casually. Being a girl by your side will force you to be a lady in that family. As for whether Hanlin is or not, you officials don't care, but we ordinary people don't care, as long as you have money to spend, what kind of official is not. I finally threw away the watch surnamed Qian, and now even if the master whips me with a whip, I won't leave. ”

"It's a long way to the south, you are a northerner, and whether the water and soil can be accepted are also two discussions. Besides, there are many people in Beijing who don't want to leave their hometowns, so you don't want to go home? ”

Zheng Chan smiled, "The girls from poor families are not so delicate, we are like weeds on the side of the road, no matter where we throw them, we can live." If it weren't for this tenacity, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago. Don't worry, master, wherever you take me, I won't hold you back. As for the home...... Of course, I want to, but where is home? Where that person is in my heart, there is home. ”

Fan Jin has met many women, but it is rare to see someone who can show love as hot as Zheng Chan. Even a woman like Liang Pandi, who is also from the market, has to be reserved, but she is the only one who is so bold to say what she thinks.

Seeing Fan Jin look over, Zheng Chan's face flushed slightly, "I know, this is shameless." But there is no way, the eldest man is young and handsome, and there is no shortage of women around him. In the future, if I don't explain my thoughts, I will only be a cook for the rest of my life. Although it's not bad to be a cook, I'm not reconciled! I'm going to be your woman, give birth to a son for you, and then I'll be angry with that slut surnamed Qian! ”

Fan Jin gently held her hand, "Won't you regret it?" In fact, with your conditions, if you choose again, you will also have the opportunity to meet the right man. I don't want you to ...... me just to repay your kindness or feel inferior."

"No, I really like Master Fan, even if I didn't encounter that, and now I am married to that family as a daughter-in-law, I will want to be good with you when I see Master Fan. In fact, it's not just me, Xiaowan also likes the master in her heart, although you keep saying that she is a sister, she has never treated you as a brother. When she grows up in a few years, will we two sisters serve you together? ”

Listening to her hot beans, Fan Jin couldn't help but think of the night before the separation, the little girl held her hand and cried bitterly, and finally boldly printed lip prints on her face. Although she treats her as a child, a twelve-year-old girl in the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as a quasi-bride, and her kind of performance is not her sister's love for her brother.

Originally, I wanted to pair her with Jiyin, but now I have to give up. Fan Jin said: "Xiaowan, I only think she is my sister, don't mention this kind of thing." In a few years, when she is older, I will be old......"

"How old is my lord? The slave family knows how brave the old man is, and every day he makes the Qian family's slut beautiful to the sky. As soon as the master leaves this time, she will definitely go behind the master's back to steal the man! The cheap goods in the clear building are not reliable at all! Zheng Chan cursed Qian Caiyin viciously, and Fan Jin had no choice but to appease Qian Caiyin with good words and explain for Qian Caiyin, but there was nothing he could do to resolve the contradiction between the two. Since Zheng Chan has made up her mind, Fan Jin is no longer hypocritical, and now it is not as good as it was at the beginning, and as soon as the conditions are good, people will have higher needs. In the past, when the family was poor, it was bearable, but now if there is no one by the pillow, it is indeed a little awkward.

The southbound ship had been contacted a long time ago, and through the relationship between Dongchang, a southbound boat was contacted. This kind of ship is originally large, and refuses to pull dead bodies, but there is no choice between pulling dead bodies and turning dead bodies. Looking at the coffin, from the boat boss to the sailor, his face was gloomy like an iron block, Sha Shi looked at the appearance of the group, and always felt that they looked like water bandits, and his heart rose to his throat, and he didn't dare to talk to Fan Jin, so he only sent Jiyin to ask.

Hua Jiyin said very boldly: "With the father-in-law, it will be fine, my mother just rest assured, everything will be solved by the father-in-law for us." These vulgar boatmen will not disturb the mother's rest. ”

This kid. Looking at Hua Jiyin's appearance, Sha knew that his son did regard Fan Jin as his father, but he didn't really feel at ease because of this. After all, she has seen the sinister hearts of people, and before the eldest young master carried him into the firewood room, she was also a famous gentleman, who would have thought that she would do such a thing? When he arrived at the ship, he closed the door tightly, and put a pair of sharp scissors close to his body, so that his heart was stable.

At the same time, above the official road, another much larger team, like a giant dragon, was moving slowly.

Most of the members of the team wore white and wore filial piety, and the musicians played mournful music, which was both sad and grand. Generally speaking, the government also has a system for the funeral procession, especially through the state, and does not allow the scene to be too extravagant. However, the official title plate in the team is enough to scare away any yamen, and the chief officials of the state capitals and counties not only dare not have the slightest obstruction to this team, but also want to change into filial piety clothes, as if they are dead Lao Tzu, come to the team to worship and kowtow, join the team as a filial son and grandson, and do not dare to change back to the official uniform until the team is sent out of the jurisdiction.

"Emperor Yuanfu", "Zuo Zhuguo", "Officials Shangshu", "Zhongji Hall Scholar", "Young Master", "Prince Taifu", these large titles are all in one, looking at today, only Zhang Juzheng, who was ordered by the Son of Heaven after his father's death, returned to his hometown to take care of the funeral and still control the state politics. How dare these local officials not to greet them, and how dare they treat them slowly?

The speed of this team's movement is not fast, and there is also a reason for this, every day they have to wait for the important movement sent by the Jingshi side in an expedited manner of 800 miles, and if they go too fast, they are afraid that it will affect the government and government, and it is extremely difficult for the huge Taoist team to go fast.

Putting aside everything else, just in the middle of the line, the huge shoulder that can only be lifted by thirty-two people, it is impossible to get up quickly no matter what. This is comparable to a sedan chair in a mobile room, and even contains a place for washing and drowning, where Zhang Juzheng can handle the government and political criticism and correction with peace of mind, as if it is a mobile Ming center.

The whole sedan chair is decorated with red gold and jade, and the cost of silver is not only a few, even if it is a feudal royal family, it may not be so luxurious and so public. This Shoufu obviously didn't think about the low-key issue, but instead went extraordinarily and showed his authority to the fullest, so that local officials at all levels knew that he Zhang Juzheng didn't need to worry about anyone and any rules now, and he had the final say in the entire Ming Dynasty.

The huge sedan chair moved slowly, like a giant beast staggering forward, and in the sedan chair, Zhang Shunqing frowned and said, "Master, this sedan chair is really ...... It's ......."

"It's too flamboyant, isn't it?"

Zhang Ju smiled on his front and didn't mean to blame his daughter. The old man also knew that this sedan chair was excessive, but this was also deliberately done by the old man. This time, the old man listened to the advice of retreat and took a step back, which may be a good thing from a long-term perspective. But at the local level, things are hard to say. These people are very short-sighted, they only know that the wind makes the rudder, you see that after the death of your eldest father, Chen Wenfeng personally served the decline and acted as a filial son for the old man. In the final analysis, it's not because your father is in this position, he doesn't dare to do otherwise. If these magistrates mistakenly think that the old man's authority has declined, how can they be obedient and do what I tell them? Next, whether it is to re-establish the fish scale album or clear the acres of fields, it is a matter of offending people, and no one wants to do it. I don't frighten them, I can't stop them. ”

Zhang Shunqing said: "But master, if you do this, you will be impeached by the official......"

"There is the Queen Mother and your Uncle Feng in the court, and you will not let these slanderous rumors mess up the Son of Heaven. Besides, the Son of Heaven and the Father are teachers and students, how can they believe such nonsense? ”

Zhang Shunqing said: "Having said that, it is not the prime minister's gift to do so, but it is always a matter of giving people a handle." ”

Zhang Juzheng shook his head, "Silly daughter, it's not a father." The Son of Heaven has not been in charge for a day, and the Ming Dynasty will be in charge of the country for a day by the father, what can the Son of Heaven do, what can he do as a father, and where do you need to worry about what handles. Don't worry about being a father, or worry about your fan. I know you're worried about his future, but it makes sense for your father. It's a difficult position, but it's because it's so difficult that I have to send my own people. If he can do this errand well, he will be rewarded for his father. ”

"Reward what?"

"Give him a chance to send geese to the old man."
