Chapter 761: The Calculation Behind the Bad Debt

PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

The chaotic Tan Lun's funeral has not yet ended, the Son of Heaven gave Tan Lun the crown prince Taibao, and the grace of the nickname Xiangmin was sent to the Tan Mansion, but it was given to the Tan family a shadow student, a hereditary military commander of the affairs. In the case that Tan Lun had already been rewarded for his achievements in resisting the Japanese and suppressing the Kou in Pingbei, such a special favor and courtesy would have caused a lot of criticism. But Tan Lun has already passed away, and the Tan family has no outstanding talents, not to mention the beautiful talk of the father and son, I am afraid that it will be difficult to even have a jinshi in the future, and the descendants will almost certainly be unknown, so most people remain silent.

As for the nickname of Xiangmin, it is a compromise result. The armor has Lao Xiang, Xiezan has Cheng Xiang, and Weide is far away from Xiang, which is naturally worthy of Tan Lun's merits. Because since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, most of the nicknames at the beginning of the text have been awarded to bachelors from Hanlin, and in the later period, they were basically only awarded to the elders, and Tan Lun was not good at writing and articles, and he did not leave too many writings, this text could not be talked about anyway, even if it was due to the pressure of Zhang Juzheng, Dr. Taichang still did not dare to use any Wenxiang. And Tan Lun is not a military general, Zhang Juzheng will not let Tan Lun bear a nondescript nickname like Wu Xiang no matter what.

Although the word Min is not at the top of the list, it can be said to be Min; Ming Zuo has merit and is said to be sensitive; Ying is as decisive as a god. Of course, what made Zhang Juzheng agree with this nickname the most was because the word Xiangmin was the nickname of Weng Wanda, the secretary of the military department in the early and middle Jiajing Dynasty, which he admired, so he nodded easily.

Of course, the dead do not see these glories, but for the living. These things are extraordinarily important. At least Tan Xian was overjoyed. And. Father's gift and nickname, these are very important, but giving the third generation of the Tan family a shadow student, and then giving a hereditary commander of the military position, this can at least give the Tan family one more person with a future. Therefore, when his younger brother and sister-in-law and his wife and children finally arrived in the capital, he wanted to provoke the responsibility of the eldest brother, and naturally thanked the uncle and nephew of the Wang family.

After all. Wang Fulin spent half of his time on his father's funeral with the twenty days of leave given by the Metropolitan Procuratorate!

Wang Daohui thought to himself that he had no official body anyway, and Wang Daokun was missing him, but there was still Wang Daoguan there, plus now that Wang Fulin had returned to Beijing, it was cheap to discuss anything, knowing that Tan Xian was going to return to his hometown next, and there were still a lot of clues, so he took the initiative to stay. And Wang Fulin is more than halfway through the holiday, and he has to sort out Chen Bingchang's draft Chen Song, so he is ready to go back. He tidied up the tent room. When he handed it over to the old butler again, he said, "Next, the eldest prince and they will help them to return to their hometown." The fat powder shop left by Mrs. Tan before her death, are you ready to sell it? ”

The old butler was stunned for a moment, and then showed a somewhat complicated expression. Before, he couldn't be angry for a while, and he pit You Qiyi fiercely, although he felt a bad breath in his heart, but after Wang Fulin sent Zhang Siwei and Wang Chonggu in to offer condolences, he reminded him in a low voice, and he had to stand up and explain a few words to You Qi according to Wang Fulin's instructions. And in the matter of preparing to return to his hometown these days, he considered that the Tan family had no successor, but Zhang Juzheng was still in full swing, and when the Tan family left, it would be difficult to take care of the property left in the capital, so he planned to sell the shop.

However, he tried every means to find a home, thinking that he would not hesitate to lose a little price, but he didn't expect that no one would take over even if the price was lowered! And the few one or two who are still righteous are privately hinting that You Qi has greeted many businesses. It's not that he didn't think about picking out this matter to Tan Xian, or begging the Wang family to come forward to Zhang Juzheng to comment, but he is not a chick who has never experienced the world, it is conceivable that no one will testify for himself at that time, as long as You Qi denies it to death, or finds other evidence to prove that he has any stains during his work in the Tan family, he will fall into a desperate situation that is unreasonable.

Therefore, for Wang Fulin taking the initiative to ask such a question, the old housekeeper hesitated and hesitated, and finally said in a low voice: "Yes, because I can't take care of it, I can't say whether the eldest young master can recover after the expiration of the system, so I plan to sell the shop, but I can't find anyone to take over for a while." ”

"Then sell it to me first." Wang Fulin was stunned for a moment when he saw the old housekeeper, and then he was surprised and delighted, so he smiled and said, "You will definitely spend money everywhere when you return to your hometown this time, and I will definitely give a fair price." Uncle and Da Sima had such a good relationship back then, and the Wang family still had to take care of this matter. ”

The old housekeeper thought that Wang Fulin felt that he was afraid of lowering the price, so he hurriedly shook his head again and again: "Master Wang is too worried, you and Mr. Zhongyan have helped the Tan family so much these days, how can I not believe you?" In fact, in addition to this fat powder shop, the Tan family also has 600 acres of good farmland in Baishahe. Because Su Songhang and other places paid tribute to the imperial court as white grain for rice, there was often a shortage of them for various reasons over the years, and some exquisite people were used to eating these high-quality white grains, so they went out to buy them if they were not enough.

Not to mention the north, even in the Jiangnan market, the price of white grain is at least four times higher than that of ordinary grain rice. After all, the master is a second-grade Shangshu, and there are many white grains in the Yulu, so only the old man and the young master can't eat it, so I sell the white grain at a high price, and then take the rented rice collected on the farm for others to eat, one in and one out, because the land rent is rice, and the villagers are all grateful to Dade, and the rest of the family does not care so much about the taste of the grain and rice, and there is a lot of surplus every year. Just ......"

He hesitated for a moment, and his voice suddenly became low: "The master had a lot of concubines around him before, and this dismissal is even more painful." In the past two years, the rent of rice in the Zhuangzi has often been in arrears, so the books of the account room seem to be unable to make ends meet. ”

The corners of Wang Fulin's mouth twitched suddenly. Before, he had always felt that the Tan Mansion account was really a bad debt, but he didn't expect this old housekeeper to be so calculating, and even to the point of exchanging rented rice for white grain, which is a big way to increase income, and these days he hasn't seen any concubines in Tan Mansion at all, it was because everyone was dismissed! Just because this sum of money is so huge, the Tan family will almost be a little nervous about the funeral. At this moment, he nodded without thinking about it, "It's okay." The farms were sold to me at the market price. ”

"Thank you, Master Wang!"

The old housekeeper didn't say a word, and directly lay down and kowtowed. But after touching it, he was dragged up. But it's old tears. He wiped the corners of his eyes, forced out a smile and said, "But I still have to go and tell the eldest young master, after all, it is something left by the lady, and the old man and the young master don't know about the Zhuangzi." ”

When Tan Xian learned about the cause and effect of this incident, he had mixed feelings about the old housekeeper's hard work for many years, and thanked Wang Fulin again. This time in and out, he thought that he would be able to return to his hometown with a silver ticket of 10,000 taels, plus a lot of gifts from each family. The confidence is much more sufficient. After Wang Fulin returned to Wang's mansion, he only mentioned the whole story to Wang Daokun lightly, but he had another idea in his heart. After overturning a full third of Chen Bingchang's drafted Chen Song and re-polishing and writing, he ordered someone to inquire about Zhang Juzheng's days of rest.

As the champion, there is only one subject in three years, and the person at the top of all the three hundred jinshi, after the new jinshi grace banquet, Shen Maoxue was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, and the visitors from all sides almost broke the threshold of the small house he rented. Therefore, he took his nephew Shen Yourong to the Tan family to worship once. In view of the fact that Wang Fulin was unable to get out of the funeral at the Tan family before, he did not bother to make an appointment with Wang Fulin again. On this day, he had just sent off a guest who claimed to be a fellow villager. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a retinue of the Shen family hurrying over.

"Second master, Wang Gongzi is here!"

"What, which Wang Gongzi is it?"

Before Shen Maoxue could answer, he saw a head poking out of the door of the wing, who else was Shen Yourong? Because there are too many guests who come to Shen Maoxue, from climbing friendships to playing the autumn breeze, Shen Yourong is frequently caught and sent to welcome guests, and he simply finds all kinds of excuses to push and shove, if it weren't for Shen Maoxue holding the identity of his uncle, people would have gone out to hide from the disaster. Therefore, Shen Maoxue simply ignored this kid, but he didn't expect that the entourage had always liked this little young master who had no shelf, and immediately said with a smile: "It's the Wang Gongzi that the second young master thinks." ”

Seeing that Shen Yourong heard this, he immediately ran out without saying a word, although Shen Maoxue was angry and funny, but he didn't stop drinking after all, and he followed out two steps behind. When he arrived at the door, he saw Shen Yourong holding the reins of a horse in one hand, talking to Wang Fulin with a smile on his face, where did he look like he hadn't seen him for more than a year? Thinking that Wang Fulin was the top three in the past, but he was the first to be raised, and now Wang Fulin is the Imperial History of the Guangdong Provincial Supervision of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he has been a patrol, but he is already the champion of the new department, recalling the scenes of intersecting and knowing each other, and now the two families have become in-laws, he can't help but smile.

After stepping forward and arching his hand, Shen Maoxue first greeted: "But I haven't seen you for more than a year, you are already famous all over the world." ”

"Brother Shen, isn't this a cold me? The major events that happen every day in all parts of the world are endless, what is my little name, where can it compare to the literary name of the champion? Wang Fulin glanced at Shen Yourong with a smile as he spoke, and blinked again, "There is also Shihong, the fourth place in the Ying Tianwu test, and he is indeed a hero from ancient times." ”

"You're only a year older than me, aren't you, and besides, how am I a teenager?" Shen Yourong couldn't help muttering in a low voice when he heard Wang Fulin's old-fashioned words, but he was immediately glared at by his uncle. At this moment, he remembered that his sister had been married to Wang Fulin's adopted son, and he had just been admitted to Jinbao last year, which means that Wang Fulin is now his elder, and he should not only call Uncle Wang now, but also be more respectful. So, he hurriedly coughed and said, "Uncle, let's go in and talk, don't let the family watch the excitement." ”

The reason why Shen Maoxue did not let Shen Yourong go to Liaodong immediately after the Ying Tianwu test was because he was worried that the incident that they caused in Liaodong two years ago would make Li Chengliang feel guilty, but if he won the Jinshi, Shen Yourong would always have a shelter if he went to Liaodong again. Therefore, he didn't have anything to say about martial arts and courage, but he was still quite worried about his nephew who was similar to the past in terms of temperament, and when Wang Fulin was welcomed in, he didn't say anything else, and directly hated Shen Yourong in front of Wang Fulin, and said that he was directly wilted. Wang Fulin, a bystander, sighed secretly in his belly, but it was not good to intercede for Shen Yourong.

It wasn't until Shen Maoxue asked the scholar around him to directly take Shen Yourong back to his room to copy the book, that Wang Fulin couldn't help but say, "Is Brother Shen too strict with Shihong?" ”

"The jade is not cut, it is not a weapon, he is bigger than Jinbao, but he is not as calm as Jinbao!" Of course, Shen Maoxue knew that one of the two uncles in the future would take the literary path and the other would take the martial road, and the standards would be different, but he had a lot of expectations for his nephew in his heart, especially now that he was about to release people, he couldn't take care of them at all, so he naturally had a little more gains and losses.

In this regard, Wang Fulin did not persuade immediately, but first mentioned in the gossip that the family had given Li Chengliang's wife Su a New Year's gift before, and when he saw that Shen Maoxue's eyes gradually lit up, he smiled and said: "Don't say anything else, just because Liaodong Li Dashuai has always bowed down to Lord Shoufu and praised Shihong, what are you afraid of?" Even if you are wearing small shoes, it is a common thing in officialdom. When the eaglet grows up, the eagle will push it out of the bird's nest, let alone Shihong, a warrior with great ambition and wisdom and bravery? ”

"It's that I'm thinking too much." Shen Maoxue thumped his head a little self-defeatingly, and then sighed and said, "To be honest, although Shihong is my eldest brother's son, he grew up with me since he was a child, and he learned martial arts because I invited a martial artist to teach, which made him like martial arts and dislike literature." Since my eldest brother has entrusted me with people, I will inevitably have to take responsibility......"

Seeing that Shen Maoxue, who was the most refreshing on weekdays, was nagging a lot like a half-old master, Wang Fulin knew that Shen Maoxue didn't need advice anymore, all he wanted was a listener, so he smiled and listened at the moment, until the topic gradually turned to the pattern of the DPRK and China, and he asked: "Brother Shen, I don't know if there are any plans to visit Lord Shoufu's house recently?" ”

"Huh? Several sons of the Zhang family have made appointments with me, but they have been really busy recently...... What's the matter, Brother Xian, are you in trouble? ”

Not to mention that the Wang family of Songmingshan and the Shen family of Xuancheng are now in-laws, just by virtue of the friendship between life and death with Shen Maoxue, Wang Fulin will not hide it, and say the old housekeeper of the Tan family and You Qi directly.

What Shen Maoxue hated the most was those slaves who relied on the power of the master's family, but he also knew that You Qi's power came from Zhang Juzheng, and it was difficult for outsiders to suppress it, so he couldn't help but hesitate: "Brother Xian, what are you going to do?" ”

After a meeting, Wang Fulin knew that Shen Maoxue was not pushing, but planning to discuss an idea with him, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He smiled, lowered his voice and said: "Although my uncle and Lord Shoufu are the same year, and I have also entered the Zhang Mansion before, but after all, Lord Shoufu's identity is different, and as long as you play seven ghosts, I may not be able to enter the door of the Zhang family so easily......"

PS: White grain is very evil, and there are often thousands of families who die because of this. Second, I want to double the monthly pass ^_^
