Just as Wang Fulin and Xiaobei just realized, when Shen Maoxue tested the matter of whether he could marry the Wang family of Songmingshan in front of his brother Shen Maojing, he immediately found that his brother was not surprised or surprised, but his face was quite subtle. Mrs. Shen Mei on the side was not as calm as her husband, and said bluntly: "Second brother, why do you have the same idea as the master?" I have also seen Jinbao's child twice, and he is indeed old and knowledgeable, and he is very good at learning, otherwise he would not be the head of the last Huining Dao test, but he is an adopted son after all, and if Fu'er marries him, his father-in-law and mother-in-law are too young. ”

"Big brother has this idea too?" Shen Maoxue directly ignored the second half of his sister-in-law's words, looked at his brother in amazement and said, "Why didn't my eldest brother mention it to me?" ”

"I asked the boss to take Wang Jinbao's three around Xuancheng, and the boss came back and said to me, don't look at Jinbao at such an age, the foundation of economic history is more solid than him, and he also took a few of his articles and poems to show me, which is really remarkable, at most it lacks shortcomings."

The boss in Shen Maojing's mouth is Shen Yourong's eldest brother Shen Youyan. Shen Youyan is a student of Ningguofu, 25 years old this year, 18 years old in the examination, and now he has gone through epiphysis and enlargement, because of his long seniority, he is often in the first class in the annual examination, and he is already a student, but because the Nanzhili Township Examination is really competitive, he has been out twice, and he has not yet been examined. And Shen Maojing paused for a moment and then said: "In these years, geniuses are not uncommon, the important thing is that they are highly talented but diligent and willing to work hard, so that they can turn jade into beautiful jade." This is what my father said back then. ”

Speaking of his father Shen Chong, Shen Maoxue's face also became solemn. Since the orthodox Jingtai, the Jinshi background has been more and more valued. And raising people and prisoners is called a miscellaneous way. From this he became an official. It is difficult to break through from it, so most of the people who can be the county commander or even Tongzhi are already in the sky, and very few of the ten can break through to the fourth grade, and Shen Pet is undoubtedly an outlier.

Shen Chong, who was born as a person, successively served as the Tang County Order and the Lu County Order, because of his outstanding political achievements and the appreciation of the officials, he was promoted to supervise the imperial history, and then patrolled Fujian. Because he offended the powerful, he was not promoted back to the capital after a term of governor. Instead, he moved to Huguang to prepare for the road, even if he had the merit of cutting off the giant thieves and creating a academy to promote mental learning, after all, because the middle and late Jiajing Dynasty was controlled by Yan Song's henchmen, he was transferred to Guangxi to serve as a branch guard, and finally returned to his hometown with the rank of fourth. But this one was not idle, and Mei Dingzuo's father Mei Shoude lectured in the Zhixue Academy run by Luo Rufang for many years, and he was a well-known Confucian.

The two brothers talked about their father-in-law, as Mei Shoude's niece, Mei Dingzuo's cousin's Mei family was silent. But I really didn't want to. But her husband Shen Maojing's other words shocked her.

"The last Dao test of Huining Road. It was put in Huizhou Mansion for the exam, at that time, Wang Jinbao's case came out first, and it caused an uproar in our Ningguo Mansion, and many people had inquired about Wang Jinbao and his person, and his life experience had already been dug up, and the people who quietly went to Songming Mountain to propose relatives to Wang's family were no less than those in Huizhou Mansion. If it weren't for Wang Fulin's father, that is, Wang Jinbao's grandfather, who couldn't speak vaguely, he would have insisted on waiting for Wang Fulin's decision to be a father, otherwise Wang Jinbao would have already made up his mind. My brother-in-law asked Jinbao a few days ago after meeting him, and he also mentioned to me that he had the intention of choosing a nephew. ”

Shen Maoxue was also moved when he heard Mei Dingzuo, and he immediately smiled: "I think so, although Huizhou Mansion She County is a little far away from Xuancheng of Ningguo Mansion, but compared to some families whose marriage spans the north and south, this distance is nothing, and Wang Fulin is very talkative, if the real thing is done, sometimes let them go back to their parents' house to live, it is also very easy." If the eldest brother thinks it's good, I hinted to Wang Fulin that he, as a father, should officially mention it first, and it can't be this kind of thing for the woman to speak. ”

"It's okay, you can find fault with him. But you remember, you must say one thing to Wang Fulin. Shen Maojing suddenly spoke, and then said word by word, "Wang Jinbao is still young after all, now he will decide on his relatives first, and before this year's township examination, let Wang Jinbao go to Xuancheng Zhixue Academy to study." It is a good thing for the young man to read for a few more years and settle down. ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Maoxue saw Mei's face turn from gloomy to sunny, and he was infinitely happy, he didn't know what his sister-in-law was happy about, and he immediately laughed. In the past, Luo Rufang, who was the prefect of Ningguo, because the rebuilt Jingxian Shuixi Academy was not big enough, was often overcrowded when lecturing, and was not in Xuancheng, where the government was located, and it was not convenient enough to give lectures. At that time, in addition to Luo Rufang and Wang Ji, the backbone of Wang Xue, there were also their brothers' father Shen Chong, Mei Dingzuo's father Mei Shoude, and their teacher Gong Anguo. It's just that when he thinks of Zhang Juzheng's rectification of school politics last year, he can't help but be a little worried.

Shen Maojing knew what his younger brother was worried about, and immediately said with relief: "Although the rectification of academic politics is said to ban the academy of the world, even if the Zhixue Academy is not an official academy, it is also built by the imperial court officials to raise funds, and it will not be included in the scope of rectification for a while." It's not that I'm boasting about Haikou, except for Nanjing Chongzheng Academy, there are only a handful of places where the entire Nanzhili can compare to Zhixue Academy! At this, there was a bit of smugness on his face, but another thought was in his mind.

Wang Fulin is a young man, capable is capable, but after all, he is too good at tossing, this time it is said that the summer tax silk dispute in Huizhou Mansion is also involved, and many people are privately saying that it is a walking disaster. Because of this, it is naturally a good thing to put Wang Jinbao in Zhixue Academy to precipitate and precipitate well and shape a pure school person. In any case, this year's Nanzhili Township Examination, Jinbao, who is only 14 years old, has little hope. Zhang Juzheng, who is also a twelve-year-old talent, was once pressed for one session when he was thirteen years old, let alone others?

The husband has already decided, although Mei is reluctant, but he thinks that he can keep his daughter for another two years, and then if Jinbao studies in Zhixue Academy, Wang Fulin and his wife are so old that they obviously don't need their daughter-in-law to serve, and the hope of their daughter living in Xuancheng for a few more years is very great, so she finally nodded. Thereupon. Shen Maoxue immediately conveyed his brother-in-law's attitude to Wang Fulin.

In the face of such a quick reaction from the Shen family. This time it was Wang Fulin's turn to be dumbfounded. Following the autumn maple. He once again realized the complex mentality of having a child in my family, and after he sent Shen Mao away from school, he patted his head, and then said to Xiaobei: "How do I feel that this time I went back to my hometown to recuperate, just to get married?" ”

Although Jinbao and his husband and wife have no real blood relationship, Xiaobei also watched Jinbao Qiufeng and Ye Xiaopang grow up together, so she always felt not so happy about the Shen family's request for Jinbao to stay in Xuancheng Zhixue Academy to study, and said angrily at the moment: "Of course, marrying a sister is indispensable for your brother." As for the matter of Jinbao and Qiu Feng, since you are a father and a teacher, it is also incumbent on you. However, Huizhou Mansion is not without a good academy, why did the Shen family have to leave people in Xuancheng? What's more, Jinbao is going to take the township exam this year, maybe he will be able to pass the exam? ”

"Fourteen-year-old lifter, anyone will feel shocked, even if the examiner appreciates the article, he will definitely press it." Wang Fulin said this in his mouth, but he thought in his heart. If the problem of their own distribution cannot be solved by the end of the year, they may be compensated. As long as Jinbao can play above the level in this year's township test, will he give the Wang family another lifter? But this is not a good thing, and next year it will be Zhang Juzheng who is the chief examiner, so he won't be able to give the Wang family another jinshi, right? If that's the case, the Wang family will be branded by the Zhang Party, which is not what he wants.

The Xuancheng Zhixue Academy was built by Luo Rufang, and it is one of the strongholds of Wang's Xinxue. And if he was not mistaken, even if the wind of rectifying the academy did not blow here for a while, it would still affect here within a year or two. And although there are many supporters of the Xinxue set, it is not liked by those in power, and if he can, he doesn't want Jinbao to get too involved. After all, some of Wang Yangming's theories have been carried forward by his disciples to the extreme left and the extreme right.

"For such a big matter, I have to send someone back to my hometown to talk to my father. Moreover, I will agree with the Shen family that Jinbao's stay in Xuancheng Zhixue Academy cannot exceed two years. ”

The son is more reliable by taking it with him, he doesn't want Jinbao to be stupid when he reads!

After Wang Fulin asked Jinbao, it was easy for the little guy to confirm that he had met the young lady of the Shen family, and after making a good first impression of people, he immediately sent a messenger back to Songming Mountain. The messenger walked back and forth on the road for seven days, bringing back not only Wang Daoyun's reply, but also the specific content of the imperial court's decree to the Huizhou government. The latter was really as Wang Fulin imagined, that is, among the three proposals written by Yao Huizu, the prefect of Huizhou, the shortest of the short, and chose to offset the corresponding summer tax silk with a total of more than 2,000 taels of ship tax, tea tax, etc., that is, a plan to cut off more than 2,000 taels of taxes for She County in disguise. In this way, the five counties do not need to be sent more, and the burden of She County is reduced, which can be regarded as a great joy.

As for the handling of those troublemakers, it was basically the same as that handled by the Huizhou government, and the imperial court had no additional opinions. Xue Chao, the county commander, was dismissed because he had been ill for too long and had not handled government affairs. The reason why it was not a dismissal but a dismissal was that Wang Fulin was not interested in inquiring. Regarding the incident of Jinyi Wei blocking the door at the door of Yu Maoxue's house, he didn't mention half a word, as if it hadn't happened. At this point, the dispute over the silk tax in Huizhou Mansion, which has continued since the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, can be regarded as a complete end.

Of course, these messages are only incidental, and what Wang Fulin is most worried about at the moment is Wang Daoyun's reply. As for the marriage with the Xuancheng Shen family, Wang Daoyun is of course happy to see it come to fruition, and he doesn't have much opinion on what Wang Fulin said about letting Jinbao stay in Xuancheng Zhixue Academy for two years. In view of the fact that Wang Fulin came to Xuancheng purely to drink wedding wine and did not prepare any gifts other than congratulatory gifts, Wang Daoyun specially selected a ginseng plant among the specialties that Wang Fulin brought back from Liaodong, as well as a pair of white jade bracelets and a pair of red gold inlaid ruby earrings among the things that his family has gradually purchased over the years, as the initial gift.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, Wang Fulin has to look for a candidate to propose relatives, and in the end, after thinking about it, he dragged Shi Yuanxi in the same year.

It is conceivable that when Shi Yuanxi learned that Wang Fulin was going to propose marriage to the Shen family in Xuancheng for his adopted son Wang Jinbao, he was simply taken aback - not surprised that the two families were going to marry, but surprised that this matter had progressed to this point without anyone noticing! However, whether it was the same year as Wang Fulin or Shen Maoxue's new friend, he was duty-bound and immediately accompanied him. But when he was done with this, he said it to a few other friends, which caused a lot of exclamation.

Especially Mei Dingzuo caught Shen Maoxue and couldn't say it properly, he just chose a good candidate for his niece, and was robbed by the Shen family. But this is just a talk between two in-laws and best friends, and for outsiders, he naturally won't talk about it. For a time, this marriage spread all over the streets and alleys of Xuancheng, some people praised it, and some people slandered it behind their backs, but for the parties concerned, the marriage book has been decided, and the matter is finalized.

According to the original intention of the Shen family, it was best for Wang Fulin to leave Jinbao in Zhixue Academy now, but Wang Fulin said that he wanted to take Jinbao back to his hometown to see his father first, so he insisted on delaying this time. After going back and forth, the Shen family didn't want to rush too much, causing a situation where they were more anxious than the man, so they could only agree.

On the way back, Wang Xiaomei and Ye Xiaopang, the two elders made fun of Jinbao and Qiu Feng, Wang Fulin only laughed and watched the excitement on the side, but in the end, Xiaobei couldn't see it, and he taught Ye Xiaopang's ears a lesson, and said that he would also send him to Zhixue Academy, which made people honest.

The group traveled all the way, just came to Xin'anmen in She County, the city gate guard recognized Wang Fulin at a glance, and immediately shouted with a smile: "Wang Xiaoguan, you are back, today the former county respected resigned, Yu County Cheng is still the acting county order, you will not be able to see the excitement one day later!" ”

Although Wang Fulin had already learned from the messenger who went back and forth to Huizhou Mansion that the big board of the Huizhou Mansion Xia Tax Silk Dispute finally fell on Xue Chao, the county commander, he didn't expect that his return coincided with the departure of the other party, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. As for the schadenfreude of the gate guards, how did he not know what the reason was? Xue Chao roared when he was urging Xia Tax, and later took the lead desperately in order to brush up his political achievements and shouted that Xia Tax Silk was sent, and when something went wrong, he took others as scapegoats and shrank behind.
