"What has the eldest grandson been doing in Chang'an during this time?" Wang Mang asked Tian Li. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Da Langjun went to his teacher Wu Zhang every day to study the Five Classics, and discussed the meaning of the scriptures with Lu Kuan, Xue Kuang and other celebrities. Most of the people who came and went were Confucian scholars. ”

"Wu Zhang has never been a official, and he doesn't know the way to be an official, so he will speak the words of a saint. Xue Guo is talented but not virtuous, and he can't have deep friendships. Lu Kuan is the eldest grandson's brother-in-law, and he doesn't go to help his niece, but he is busy making friends with the eldest grandson and the great Confucian, does Lu Kuan want to be a leader? ”

"Did the eldest grandson ask to see the Empress Dowager?" Wang Mang asked. Tian Li bowed his head and was silent.

Wang Mang took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "Chengdu Hou wrote a few days ago, saying that he had won a few horses and wanted to give them to Ben Hou, so Ben Hou wrote to him and asked him to send two horses over as a congratulatory gift from San Langjun. ”

"Congratulatory gifts?"

"Saburo will turn eighteen next year, and he can hold a crown ceremony. Mr. Cui also said that it was time for San Lang to learn riding, and if he traveled in a carriage or riding a donkey, he would be ridiculed and not good for his career. ”

"Qiyu Junhou, San Langjun sent someone to inform him to return home tomorrow." Someone outside shouted a loud report.

"Does Madame know?"

"Someone has gone to inform you."

"Ben Hou knows." Wang Mang looked at Tian Li and said with a smile, "Early this morning, Xinye Ling sent a letter saying that San Lang sent more than 20 criminals to the county government and was a model for the county. ”

Tian Li also smiled: "Xinye Ling can spend the New Year with peace of mind." ”

Wang Mang patted the case: "Ben Hou has no objection to sheltering the homeless, this puppet surnamed Deng is really damned, he accepted the filial piety of those rangers and connived at them to do evil, but Ben Hou has to bear this notoriety." If it weren't for San Lang taking the initiative to take care of this Zhuangzi, Ben Hou wouldn't know how long he would have been deceived. As a result, Xinye County wanted to take people away, and Saburo also interceded for it, saying that he had the merit of being the first to tell him. Immunity from punishment. ”

"San Langjun and his wife are both kind-hearted people and don't want to be implicated too much." Tian Li replied.

Wang Mang picked up a roll of bamboo slips: "The fate of the kind-hearted is all remembered here." Lu Yin was kind-hearted and unwilling to be the king, so he was killed by his subordinates; Wu Wangyi let Gongziguang go and was assassinated by Zhuanzhu; Han Xin was unwilling to rebel, and changed from the king of Chu to the marquis of Huaiyin, and was finally exterminated by the nine clans. Shen Sheng lives inside and dies, Heavy Ear lives outside, the gods give you a chance, you waste it and lose the protection of the gods, if you don't kill people, people will kill you. After Wang Mang finished speaking, he put down the bamboo slip, "Being kind-hearted is the only way to die." ”

Wang Mang picked up a few bamboo slips again: "Kind-hearted old ministers of the Three Dynasties?" Now that the old ministers of the Three Dynasties are exempted, and there are not many deaths, the old fox Kong Guang has learned Confucius's tactfulness to the fullest, and he can only protect himself. Pingdang also wanted to protect himself, but His Majesty sent someone to 'condole' him, and with Pingdang's sick body, coupled with this fright, it will be difficult to survive next spring. At that time, there was one less old minister of the three dynasties, and most of the remaining ministers were promoted by the first emperor. "The first emperor had a weak temperament, and all major matters in the court were decided by the Wang family. The Wang family can be described as covering the sky with one hand.

Tian Li returned home and sighed incessantly. Madame asked, "What happened again?" ”

Tian Li got up and looked outside, closed the door, and whispered to his wife: "The prince is dissatisfied with the eldest grandson. What's even more terrifying is that Mr. Cui is helping San Langjun speak. ”

"Will the prince abolish the elder and the young?"

"Now it's just a warning, and the outcome depends on the eldest grandson's response. After all, the prince has put all his efforts on the eldest grandson, and it is not known how far San Langjun can go, and he will have to observe for a while; Besides, the prince is a person who attaches great importance to the respect of the elder and the young. If there is no special thing, it will not be easy to abandon the growth. ”

"What about him?"

"Da Lang is fine now, San Lang Jun has no intention of competing for the heir now, and San Lang Jun is now worried about money."

After Wang An received the letter, he immediately returned to Wangjiazhuang and found Shen Tuchen: "Zikuan, your lord has been recruited by the imperial court. "Hand the strip of cloth to Shen Tuchen. Shen Tuchen took the strip of cloth, looked at it a few times, and muttered, "It finally happened." ”

"Zikuan seems to know about today's events?"

"My lord once warned me that he cured your illness and that he might be called up by the imperial court to find me a place to hide, and that the Xindu Marquis Mansion is the safest."

"No wonder Zikuan was full of disgust with me the day before, but he took the initiative to apologize to me the next day, so that's the case."

"At that time, I thought that San Langjun was also a gentleman. I hope you will forgive me. ”

Wang An waved his hand: "Those who don't know are not to blame." What's more, in the past few days when Zikuan came to Zhuangzi, he has seen many people, and they are grateful to Zikuan, and they also respect me, saving me a lot of effort and money, and making a great contribution to maintaining the peace and tranquility of Zhuangzi. ”

Right now, Shen Tu'an has just entered the palace, and the emperor still has to find someone to try his medical skills. No one would give their lives to strangers, and the emperor was even more suspicious, and Shen Tu'an could only meet the emperor by proving his medical skills, and he could not worry about his life for the time being. Shen Tuchen could only stay in Wang's house during this time, in case someone fell into the well.

Wang An suddenly remembered something and asked Shen Tuchen: "Zikuan, where is Wei Xuan?" ”

"Didn't San Langjun ask him to recruit Zhuang Ding? He was preparing for the evening assessment, and Wei Xuan said that if it was the batch of rangers last night, they would definitely be able to pass, but the Zhuang household, it would be good if one or two of the hundred could pass. Wang An understood that in ancient times, the poor could not afford to eat meat and fish, and they were prone to "night blindness", and this alone could eliminate most people. This is also the advantage of the nomads over the Central Plains. And because according to Mencius, fifty can wear clothes and silk, and eighty can eat meat, which is benevolent government. Every time Wang An saw this, he couldn't help but mutter, why don't you say that you are a hundred years old. A few of the poor live to be eighty years old, so they can't afford to eat meat for the rest of their lives. Only then did Wang An remember that he seemed to be eating meat every day, although he ate poultry. You should set up a pig farm, which can not only accumulate fat, but also eat meat. Yes, that's it.

Wang An came to the study and found that the eldest girl was also there, and now Wang An is going outside, and the study has become the eldest girl's office. The eldest girl handed him a roll of bamboo slips. Wang An asked, "What is this?" ”

"Didn't Lang Jun say that he had to be careful in his calculations, they wrote down all the money they needed, and the maid calculated that it would take about fifty taels in the first month. This does not include Zhengjiazhuang's workshop and Zhuang Ding. ”

It's over, move your mouth, and the fifty taels will be gone, wait, I don't seem to have so many copper coins, right?

The maid discussed with Dr. Shentu, and Dr. Shentu promised to write to Li Tong and ask him to help exchange Lang Jun's gold cake for five baht. In a few days, Li Tong and Li Zhiyuan will transport the copper coins from Wanxian. ”

"So what about these days?"

The eldest girl felt very strange: "Didn't Mr. Jungong promise to give 200 yuan to support Lang Jun to build a workshop, and it happens that Mr. Jungong is taking care of Wangjiazhuang these days, and he happens to receive money from him." "It's still smart.

"Rest early today, and go home early tomorrow."
