Chapter 502: Don't love vanity and love hard work

Sure enough, someone eavesdropped!

The corners of Wang Fulin's eyebrows twitched slightly, thinking that it was really as he expected. However, it was Zhang Yunxiu, the youngest son of the Zhang family, who moved faster than him, only to see the nine-year-old boy running out of the smoke, opening the door curtain, and shouting loudly after rushing out: "Sister, why are you!" I was caught this time, and I looked back and didn't tell my father and mother! ”

However, under such a threat from him, there was no cross-examination from the outside. In the end, it was Zhang Yunxiu who begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, sister, can't you count me wrong?" I know you must be worried about us, so come and see it on behalf of your mother...... I'm going to accompany the guests, not to play tricks here! Don't dare, how dare I talk nonsense, otherwise next time I want to eat almond tofu, who will help me intercede! ”

From beginning to end, Wang Fulin didn't hear a single word from the person outside who was supposed to be Miss Zhang. After a while, Zhang Yunxiu, who was running fast with a cigarette when he went out, drooped his head and turned around, and he was still a little unhappy after sitting down. Zhang Jianxiu, who was not much older than him, obviously understood his brother's depression very well, because he was just as good when he met this sister, so he could only pat his younger brother on the shoulder like a little adult, and comforted him in a low voice: "Good men don't fight with women, don't be angry." It's a big deal, go back and ask the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother to talk about her. ”

The three young brothers of the Zhang family glanced at each other, but showed a wry smile, but tacitly did not mention the episode just now. As for Wang Fulin, even if he guessed that it was Zhang Juzheng's daughter who was eavesdropping outside the door just now, he didn't want to make any extraneous trouble. Because that daughter only has laughter, she is older than Zhang Yunxiu and Zhang Jianxiu, and smaller than the other three. It should be between the ages of twelve and fifteen. It's very small. And now he is an adult who is married and has a family. Isn't it too ungraceful to deal with a little girl who listens to the corner?

It's just that thinking that he has been dragged to Zhang's Mansion by Zhang Jingxiu for a long time today, and the sun is about to set at this time, Wang's mansion's literary meeting is estimated to be over a long time ago, and he should go home, so Wang Fulin said goodbye in due course.

He came to the door today, empty-handed, and walked through the side door. Remembering that the last time he had also come to the door like this, when he took the reins of the mount handed by the servants of the Zhang Mansion, a very funny thought suddenly occurred in his heart. As expensive as Qi Jiguang, he also wants to call himself a lackey, as heavy as Li Chengliang, and he also has to work hard to prepare gifts for Zhang Juzheng. Moreover, if Wang Daokun asked why he didn't go to the Wenhui, he could still go back with confidence.

Can I be blamed for this? Who made me so unlucky. Can you meet Zhang Gongzi when you hang out?

And to send Wang Fulin away, Zhang Jingxiu turned around and immediately went to the inner courtyard to see his mother, Mrs. Wang. As soon as you step into the house. He saw that his younger brothers were all there, and his only sister, Zhang Wan, was standing quietly beside his mother. Even as the eldest brother, he couldn't help but sigh secretly for this sister in his heart. In terms of appearance, although Zhang Wan is only thirteen years old, she is naturally beautiful and beautiful, but in terms of temperament, it is really a headache, because no matter how you tease her, her reaction is plain and bland, and she will never say a word. Today, I was eavesdropping outside the door, and I laughed, it was like the sun coming out in the west.

Before Zhang Jingxiu came in, the other four brothers of the Zhang family had already re-exerted what Wang Fulin had just said in front of Mrs. Wang, including Wang Fulin's self-deprecation. Of course, it is also important to point out that this sentence made Zhang Wan laugh. Mrs. Wang glanced at Zhang Wan, who was sitting still, in surprise, and saw that his face was as usual, still looking like an ancient well, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Next, she had to blame Zhang Jingxiu for his recklessness in the outer city before, but since there was no danger, it had to be over.

For such a trivial matter, no one would have told Zhang Juzheng, the head of the family. However, it was still early when Zhang Juzheng came home from the cabinet that day, and when he was passing by the street in front of the door in a sedan chair, he happened to open the curtains and saw Wang Fulin riding alone to give way. Although Wang Fulin is not the perennial busy street in front of the door, how could he not guess when he is familiar with where the back door of his house leads? As soon as he entered the house and summoned the steward to ask, he learned that Zhang Jingxiu brought people back, and the five sons also talked with him for about half an hour, so he simply called everyone to the study, and he didn't know if he didn't ask.

"You don't understand the truth of the white dragon fish suit? Go to a messy place like the human market, you can figure it out! ”

Zhang Juzheng himself also knew that his sons had always been strictly controlled by himself, and he strictly forbade foreign officials to follow their path, hoping that they would succeed in their studies and continue to glorify the lintel in the future, instead of being upright like some elders, but his son was raised and abolished. Therefore, after beating Zhang Jingxiu lightly and heavily, he took the test and compared the homework of several other sons. When these were all over, he asked a little about Wang Fulin's arrival at home today. Hearing that he only talked about the customs, mountains and rivers, geography, and occasionally mentioned family matters, he was quite satisfied, but when he heard Zhang Yunxiu mention Wang Fulin's joke, he suddenly turned his attention to Zhang Maoxiu.

"San Lang, how do you know about the Chinese meeting of the Wang Shilang family of the military department today?"

Zhang Maoxiu didn't expect the spearhead to turn to him all of a sudden, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly explained: "I heard what Mr. Dou said." Mr. Dou was also invited to Wang's Mansion today, and he said yes a day earlier. ”

In the same year that Zhang Juzheng was on the list, one of the most famous scholars in the literary world was Wang Shizhen, and the other was Wang Daokun. Wang Shizhen has now taken over the post of governor of Yunyang that Wang Daokun held back then, and Wang Daokun is very insightful about military affairs, coupled with Tan Lun's repeated letters and strong recommendations, and Zhang Juzheng was wrestling with Gao Gong at that time, so he used some heart to appoint him as the squire of the military department, but he is very unaccustomed to the temper of convening a meeting of literati and scholars at every turn. It must be known that among the first assistants of the Ming Dynasty, such as Yang Rong, Li Dongyang, and Yang Tinghe back then, they all liked to use literature to promote the latter, and he didn't like it.

can sing poems and harmonize, and write a few hundred words that should have been clearly explained, all of which are gorgeous prose, what kind of ability is that? If you have the ability to collect all the taxes in a county, let's talk about it!

So. I heard that the gentlemen who had invited them all went to Wang's Mansion to make an appointment. Zhang Juzheng's face sank when he boarded, but when he thought of Wang Daokun's valued nephew Wang Fulin but couldn't hide it, he was a little funny, and finally said without saltiness: "Wang Fulin is pragmatic, and he doesn't have the impetuous atmosphere of those students at the moment, you can be regarded as making the right friends." But schoolwork matters, especially Da Lang, you will have to go to the school next year. Give me a good job, don't fall into the name of the Zhang family. Next, all the current texts you do every day will be shown to me one by one! ”

And Wang Fulin quit Zhang's mansion and went home alone, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Qi Buping coming up. When he and Xiaobei went out today, they were hiding from this Wang Daokun's henchman, and at this moment, he saw the other party saluting respectfully, and then he blinked his eyes and said: "The little official is finally back, and the master has been waiting for you in the study for a long time." ”

Master? If Wang Daoguan is here, then the title should be the second master. If it's Wang Daohui. Then there should be an uncle to distinguish it. So, could it be that Wang Daokun came directly? No way. He just didn't go to the Wenhui, Wang Daokun needs to be so excited?

Wang Fulin was startled, he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and hurriedly walked in. When he came to his study, he saw Wang Daokun sitting behind the desk flipping through the paper he had practiced before one by one, and there was no one else in the study. Seeing this scene, he smiled and said, "Why don't you say it early if your uncle is coming, I'll come back early." ”

"Oh, am I mistaken, didn't you deliberately take Xiaobei out because of the Kaiwen meeting at my home?"

Faced with such a straightforward debunking, Wang Fulin was speechless for a moment, and then simply said bluntly: "Uncle forgive me, I did deliberately hide out." I had a headache with this kind of poetry society in Nanjing before, and I really didn't want to waste my brains. You're just done with me. ”

Wang Daokun was almost choked by Wang Fulin's indecent tone, and slapped the armrest a little angrily at the moment. But before he could figure out how to teach this nephew who was talented and had means, but had too many ideas of his own, Wang Fulin rushed ahead of him: "Uncle, poetry and poetry can naturally be passed down through the ages, and it is also a necessary condition for becoming a famous and talented man." But it's not that if the poems and songs are written beautifully, you can be a good official. I'm really not very good at that, and, with all due respect, the current Shoufu Zhang Ge Lao doesn't like people to spend all their energy on this kind of elegant thing. ”

The first half of the cut is forgotten, but when he heard the back half, Wang Daokun couldn't help but swallow the scolding on the side of his mouth: "Nonsense, how could Zhang Ge have rejected such an elegant thing as the Wenhui Poetry Society?" He was ...... when he was young."

"Uncle also said, it was when Zhang Ge was young, at that time he had always been a noble and poor Hanlin, and in the end of the Jiajing Dynasty, there was basically no opportunity to participate in politics, after Kelongqing entered the cabinet, do you see if he has gathered the younger generations at home to comment on the poems?" Seeing that Wang Daokun was really silent, Wang Fulin continued, "Of course, it's not that I just want to do what he likes, so I can't go to this kind of literati gathering held by my uncle's kindness, but I am different from my uncle, but I am a little anxious, and I can fall into the colorful Huamao literature without writing, so I would rather hide it." ”

Wang Daokun was finally helpless by Wang Fulin's endless reasons. He propped his head weakly and said tiredly, "Okay, okay, I can't talk about you." Let's say, before the husband and wife went out of the city together, why did Xiaobei come back early alone, where did you go? ”

Hearing this, Wang Fulin was taken aback, and asked cautiously, "Uncle, Xiaobei didn't tell you?" ”

"Huh?" Wang Daokun thought of Wang Fulin's ability to be extremely good at causing trouble, and sat up straight suddenly, "She refused to say it before, I can't force my nephew and daughter-in-law to ask...... Tell me, where the hell have you been? ”

Xiaobei, you are really good, you have the courage to set such a trap for your uncle!

Wang Fulin realized that he was hiding a killer weapon, and said softly at the moment: "Actually, Xiaobei and I met Zhang Jingxiu in the outer city today, so he invited me to Zhang's mansion to sit with his four younger brothers. ”

Of course, Wang Daokun would not ask which Zhang Jingxiu said such stupid things. In addition to the son of Lord Shoufu, which Zhang Jingxiu is so coincidental that he also has four younger brothers? He stared at Wang Fulin for a long time, and finally let out a cold snort. In the past, it was okay, but I found that Wang Fulin could toss and toss, and even more toss to win, but now it's good, this kid's luck really makes his uncle a little jealous!

"What the hell is going on, you brought me the truth!"

PS: There is a saying that Zhang Juzheng doesn't like Wang Daokun's gorgeous literary style, and with the impeachment of Yushi, Lao Wang lost his position, I think this is just one of the reasons. Continue to ask for a monthly pass (to be continued......)
