On this night, Wang Erniang and Xiaobei's sister-in-law spent an initial trembling night at Zhang's house, and then they were harmonious. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, it is Wang Erniang who is trembling, how big is Xiaobei's heart? Although it was Wang Fulin who visited Zhang's house in the past, she basically never saw Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Zhao was the first time she saw her. Zhang Jingxiu's wife Gao, Zhang Sixiu's wife He, Zhang Maoxiu's wife Xiao Gao, she is not familiar with any of them, and there are rumors of her life experience spread outside, but it does not prevent her from showing her lively and outgoing side in front of Mrs. Zhao, plus Wang Erniang also behaved well after letting go, so before leaving, Mrs. Zhao actually asked them to come often with a smile, and Mrs. Wang also invited her very politely.

On the return trip, Wang Fulin, who had just rushed back to the capital today and ran non-stop at both ends of the palace and Zhangfu, did not ride a horse, but chose to ride in the carriage with his wife and sister. If this is in the daytime, the adult brother and sister are in the same car, if people know, it is naturally easy to be gossiped, but now it is the night when the night is just banned, and the bustling big gauze hat alley during the day seems quiet and deserted, and when he gets into the carriage, there are only family members, so naturally it will not attract the attention of others. He leaned directly against the wall, and said weakly: "Call me when you get home, let me sleep for a while!" ”

Wang Erniang was stunned when she saw that Wang Fulin really fell asleep like this, and when she saw Xiaobei smiling and taking a thin blanket to cover him, she remembered that her brother had been on a business trip for nearly half a month before, and she couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "Is it so hard to be an official?" ”

"Of course it's hard."

Xiaobei remembered that when Ye Junyao was first appointed as the county commander, it was simply that the boss did not want to see him, and the subordinates did not let you go, the eunuchs often stumbled, and the people came to the door from time to time, she couldn't help but laugh, and then said seriously: "But there is no official in the family, from generation to generation, the landlord may not be able to keep the field, and the businessman may not be able to keep the industry, so some families have a jinshi, which is to happily post money to make him an official, and the children of the poor family also eat bran and swallow vegetables to be an official, and cultivate their sons and nephews." Therefore, your brother often said that our family at least has no worries about food and clothing, lives in a big house, and uses servants, so don't complain. ”

"Brother really said that?" Wang Erniang glanced at Wang Fulin with some doubts, thinking that Wang Fulin was indeed quite motivated in the past, so he didn't pay much attention to her and Wang Xiaomei, but since he was beaten by two villains and robbed of money, Wang Fulin was not so interested in being an official in the imperial examination, but was a little talented in business, and became more and more intimate and loving to their two sisters. But even now, she still can't imagine that her brother can complete the two-level jump from lifting people to jinshi under the persecution of the Wang family.

"Of course." Xiaobei's face did not change color, and he put gold on Wang Fulin's face without a beat, but he saw that Wang Fulin, who was leaning against the wall and seemed to be sleeping, twitched the corners of his mouth. She didn't expose this guy who was fake sleeping, but said to Wang Erniang step by step, "Besides, who is not difficult?" Did you see the three young grandmothers of the Zhang family today? They are granddaughters-in-law, so in front of Mrs. Tai, they have to speak when they should speak, shut up when they should shut up, laugh when they should laugh, and understand the eyes of their mother-in-law, and always be ready to serve their elders like subordinates, it is not difficult for them? ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Erniang's face turned white: "What my sister-in-law said is that Lord Shoufu has six sons, and now he is three daughters-in-law, and after all of them marry wives in the future, they will be six daughters-in-law...... I really admire that Grandma Zhang, Gao...... Fortunately, Xianggong is an elder brother, although there are many people in the Wu family in Xixi South, but ordinary people come and go at least not under the same roof, and there is not so much contact, and there will be no discord. Moreover, I heard Xianggong say that there are six brothers in the Zhang family, and it seems that not all of them are descendants? ”

It turns out that Wu Yingjie will also say this kind of gossip behind his back......

Xiaobei smiled, then shrugged and said, "Who knows?" I also heard that Lord Shoufu's favorite is the Yuan match Mrs. Gu in front, but it's a pity that Mrs. Gu died early. ”

Almost all of Zhang Juzheng's sons were born before Zhang Juzheng entered the cabinet, and the first three of them were all after Zhang Juzheng was disbanded, and he was able to stay in the museum, but he returned to Jiangling to recuperate under the pretext of recuperating in a few years. And Zhang Juzheng's return to his hometown to recuperate that time was precisely because of the death of Mrs. Yuan, who had a good relationship with him, and at this time he was twenty-five years old, but he did not have a son and a half daughter under his knees. During that time, Zhang Juzheng stayed in Jiangling for many years, married Mrs. Wang, who continued the string, and in the idle days before returning to the Hanlin Academy, it seemed that in order to make up for the regret of having no children before, he was born in one breath.

As for who among the sons is the concubine and so on, because they all lived in Jiangling at the beginning, there are few such rumors, and the most important thing is that the brothers of the Zhang family have a good relationship, and no one in Jingshi mentions this kind of thing.

When Xiaobei said this, she couldn't help but secretly think in her heart that in terms of private life, Zhang Juzheng was far inferior to Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, and even worse than Mr. Yangming, who wrote books and taught and passed down many schools. However, this is not surprising, these old scholars of this dynasty, based on their personal ethics alone, how many of them can compare to Wang Anshi and Sima Guang? In the past, Mrs. Su told Ye Mingyue and her that Zhang Xuan, the first assistant at the time of Jiajing, was already sixty years old, and she continued to marry the twenty-eight-year-old Pan family, just because the Pan family was once the old in-law of the former Xingxian Palace. There are many people in the court who are so old but still continue to take concubines.

does not accept gifts, is honest and honest, and is also famous all over the world, the old Daming Pavilion is very rare. Wang Anshi was poked in the backbone except for changing the law, and no one could say a word about his morality.

Wang Fulin pretended to be asleep at first, but he really fell asleep when he heard his wife and sister gossip about the house, and the road was bumpy with the carriage. It wasn't until someone woke him up that he opened his eyes in a daze, only to find that something was dangling up and down in front of him. He squinted his eyes a little inexplicably, and when he realized that he was still in the carriage, he didn't care about what was in front of him, but asked, "Where are you?" ”

"Two doors at home." Xiaobei replied concisely with four words, and then directly stuffed the letter into Wang Fulin's hand, "Wang Shaozai's from the Ministry of Officials, after Wang Siming accepted it, he thought that the master of the family was not there, so he hid it closely." ”

I didn't see Wang Seal in Zhang's Mansion today, of course Wang Fulin knew that it wasn't that Wang Seal's status was not enough, because theoretically, today's Zhangfu held a family banquet in order to welcome Mrs. Zhao, even he should have not participated, but because he had just entered the Qianqing Palace, he needed to explain to Zhang Ju, so he had to go, as for Xiaobei and Wang Erniang were also called, it was not so much a love house and Wu, but a whim of the old man, and others could not persuade him. Therefore, he was not worried that Wang Zhen would give birth to him because of this small difference.

Therefore, he took the letter and put it in his sleeve, then nodded and said: "After the door, it will be handed over to Ming Xiaoer, Wang Ji and Wang Xiang, and the three of them will be added together, and the things on the door are enough." Wang Siming was transferred to my study to help, after all, Chen Bingchang went to Guozijian. Wang Siming was already in charge of the account room, and the mess belonged to him. ”

"Got it." Xiaobei couldn't help but shake her head, and when she helped Wang Fulin get out of the carriage, she whispered, "You can't do endless things all day long, no wonder Xiao Yun feels sorry for you." ”

"Who let you go this way? I knew that I would be nesting in Songming Mountain if I got a show in the exam, and I didn't go to the examination to take the Jinshi exam, just drive Jinbao to work, where is it difficult to ride a tiger like now? ”

Seeing Wang Fulin say this, she stretched out after getting off the ground, in addition to laziness in her eyes, she could see firmness and sharpness, Xiaobei did not continue the topic, but said: "Xiao Yun is also sleepy, I didn't wait for you to wake up, and asked Yan's mother to send her back to the room." How about you, would you like some more late-night snacks from the kitchen? ”

"Just boil hot water, I don't want to eat anything anymore at the moment, I have no appetite, I am not in the mood."

Seeing that his wife commanded the girl, and really helped herself all the way in, Wang Fulin was not polite, and pressed all his strength on the shoulders that looked thin and weak. Seeing that the surroundings were quiet, and no one came to disturb this short road, he said softly: "Xiaobei, have you ever regretted marrying a troublemaker like me?" ”

As soon as the words fell, he only felt that the people around him slammed his feet, and when he looked sideways, his big white eyes had already glared at him unceremoniously. He couldn't help but smile and said very seriously: "Also, when your surname was Hu, we made a marriage contract, and when your surname was Ye, we still formed an indissoluble bond, so you are destined to marry me in this life, and you can't escape." ”

"Bah, you know how to entertain me!"

Although he is an old husband and wife, he is used to hearing this kind of flirting, but Wang Fulin suddenly came to this set, Xiaobei still took a few sips, but his mood was inexplicably very good. When she pushed the door into the house, she only heard the people around her say, "And, besides a daughter-in-law like you, who can help me into the house when my husband is weak and weak?" I wanted to travel to the West Ten Temple in Xigan Mountain, the road was washed away, we looked for the way down the mountain, I broke my foot, when you carried me down the mountain, I knew that looking for a daughter-in-law should be like this, and I could bear it without hesitation when I encountered something. ”

"Flim tongue, why do you suddenly say so many good things about me? Nothing to do! Saying this, Xiaobei put the person on the soft couch, and couldn't help but sit down next to the side, but knocked on the shoulder and said, "I'm tired, you don't come back from running two hundred and forty miles a day on the post road, where are you tired like this?" I think you did it on purpose! Don't fall asleep, wash and sleep again, you don't have a holiday, you have to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate tomorrow! ”

"yes, I know."

Wang Fulin smiled at his wife, and while going to take the letter in his sleeve, he said: "I didn't tell you this for no reason just now, Lord Shoufu and the current Mrs. Wang, the relationship is not mediocre, and the previous person has stayed in Jiangling all the year round, so I won't discuss anything with her." And he is also very strict with his sons, only letting them study, strictly restricting them from making friends, and trying his best to avoid letting them get involved in government affairs, but this means that he has no helper among his wife and children. I'm not saying that the superior should be nepotistic, I just think that a husband and a father also need to have someone to trust at home. ”

Xiaobei had only told Wang Xiaomei about Zhang Juzheng's private house before, and after listening to Wang Fulin's first half of what he said, she thought that he hadn't heard it before he was asleep, and she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, but in the end, she couldn't help but be touched in her heart, thinking of Ye Junyao and Mrs. Su, thinking of Wang Fulin and herself, the corners of her mouth curled unconsciously.

"No matter how many relatives and confidants there are outside, if there is no excellent successor in the family, it is useless to lay a solid foundation. And although Lord Shoufu has pushed Zhang Sixiu to the top of the list, which can directly enter the Hanlin Academy, he still protects him too much because he does not let his son participate in important matters. As for the mediocre relationship with the stepfamily, just to prolong the heirs, plus the lustful concubine, it was understandable, but the older you get, the more you should be restrained, after all, the cabinet is already so busy, and when you go home at night, you don't know how to take care of your body, what will you do in the future? ”

As he spoke, he had already opened the envelope and took out the letterhead, and after scanning the contents of it at a glance and ten lines, he couldn't help laughing, and threw it to Xiaobei: "This time I went to meet Mrs. Tai, Zhang Ning did me a big favor, this time Wang Shaozai helped, Zhu Zhen and Huang Long were able to be transferred to Beijing!" ”

Xiaobei and Wang Fulin traveled to Hangzhou together, whether it was Zhang Ning, the tax eunuch, or Huanglong Zhu Zheng, the two low-ranking civil officials at the time, she was very familiar with it, and when she received the letter in her hand, she was suddenly surprised and happy, but then asked with some worry: "You and Shen Jundian and a few of them are different from each other, you and Huanglong Zhu have not been in contact with each other for so long, so you are not afraid that they will not admit your affection, and because you are taboo that you are a confidant of Shoufu, you will draw a clear line with you?" ”

"A second-in-class official who has been demoted to the general non-placement of Jinshi, but he still endured the humiliation and did not resign; One offended the governor in the appointment of the inspector according to the imperial history, and he went to Shandong in a total of not many days in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he was also suppressed in the division of the inspectorate, and it was the same year as his father-in-law. If the old friends and their current situation can't be connected, then I also found Wang Shaofang in vain. ”

As he spoke, Wang Fulin flicked the letterhead in Xiaobei's hand and said in a deep voice, "And when I mentioned this matter to Wang Shaofang at that time, he was very disapproving, thinking that I should not show favor and not try to repay it. Look at it, he'll let the two of them take this love from me. When they come back to Beijing, if they bring their families with them, you can help take care of them. One you met in Beixinguan, and the other was the same year as your father-in-law, and the matter will be handed over to you. If I have a good wife, I can save some snacks. ”

Xiaobei suddenly lost Wang Fulin a roll of his eyes again. I knew that he didn't have a good heart when he said so many good things, it turned out that he was going to send her to do things! But she was really willing, very willing. Probably this is what my mother said, husband and wife are the same, and they share weal and woe.

However, thinking of those two old friends, she suddenly moved in her heart, and couldn't help asking: "Since you even helped with these two, what about Master Li, who recommended himself to his father as Mr. Menguan and taught Mingzhao and Jinbao and Qiufeng?" He is also a Jinshi in Longqing for five years, you guys were very good at the beginning! ”

Wang Fulin suddenly saw Master Li's face in front of him, and when he thought that the other party was very proud on his face, but he was very enthusiastic in his bones, he couldn't help laughing, and then said seriously: "Master Li is different, he is a very proud person, but he can be a county magistrate for two terms. I don't want him to think that I am now the laster, so I am gracious to him. ”
