On the day when the Wang family of Songming Mountain married the daughter and the Wu family of Xixi Nan married the daughter-in-law, there were many gentry and celebrities in the entire Huizhou Mansion who came to cheer for the ceremony, especially those famous families in She County, almost all of whom sent representatives to attend. Because the place where the marriage was held was not in the city, but in Xixi South Village, which was thirty miles away from Fucheng and the county seat, it was dusk before doing things, so the three main directors of Huining Road, Huizhou Prefect, and Shexian Ling in the city did not come to support in person, but they all sent cronies to send congratulatory gifts.

Wang Fulin, as the woman's brother, is naturally the best choice to cross the river to send his relatives. Therefore, Cheng Kui, Wu Zhongming, and Shen Yourong's uncle and nephew, who came to the woman's house to help, were also sent to Xixi South Village with him.

Wu Yingming's family has set up three consecutive days of flowing water tables in the village, a total of 80 tables, and the family has also set up a wedding shed, no less than 20 tables, and borrowed several gardens from acquaintances for guests from afar to stay. Therefore, when Wang Fulin, the eldest brother, sent a sedan chair from Wang's house, he was naturally treated as a guest and sat at the head of the main table. In normal times, it is also a rule for the eldest brother to sit in the chief, not to mention that his eldest brother is still a jinshi last year, and the scene is naturally full of compliments, and all the staggered plans are here to toast.

Even if Wang Fulin had already prepared a cheating tool for drinking, he had to flee the table under the pretext of not being able to drink too much. Seeing that Wang Fulin directly took his younger brother Wu Yingjie away on the grounds that he was not familiar with the road, Wu Yingming, the brother of the groom official, had to stand up to help resist those who were close to him, and Ye Xiaopang, who wanted to watch the excitement, kept prying Qiu Feng to peep with himself, but was wilted by Qiu Feng's words.

"Don't forget that your father directly gave the ring ruler to the teacher before, although the teacher may not punish you with that thing, but you should have seen his methods."

So, Ye Xiaopang thought about Wang Fulin's invisibility in Huizhou Mansion in the past, and then it was a means to grow day by day. immediately became honest, thinking that his brother-in-law was also married at the beginning, why was he not as powerful and domineering as Wang Fulin, and he directly took the groom out at home.

He thought about it, and suddenly caught a glimpse of his eldest brother-in-law Xu Rong, who was sitting at the same table with him and Qiu Feng, and his eyes slipped away. Ye Mingyue still had a letter sent to Jingshi before. said that he would go to Beijing to reunite with them after a while, but the two had not yet gone to Beijing, but he came back with the second sister and second brother-in-law, only then did he know that Xu Rong and Ye Mingyue were ready to wait until Wang Erniang got married before leaving, but they didn't expect to bump into them who were returning to their hometown.

He heard from Xiaobei that Xu Rong is also a person who loves his sister very much, and after getting up at this time, he asked with a smile: "Brother-in-law, what did you say to Brother Cheng when you were married to the Cheng family?" ”

Xu Rong didn't expect his brother-in-law to come over and ask this. After being stunned for a while, he said casually: "My brother-in-law is honest, of course I didn't say anything about him." ”

Cheng Naixuan deliberately spread rumors of the so-called good manhood because of a misunderstanding before, and once regretted his marriage, and later after seeing his sister, he confessed that it was a misunderstanding in front of him, but he was still taught a good lesson. As for the boy's memory, he didn't need to tell anything when he got married. Unless Cheng Naixuan doesn't remember to fight! Don't look at him as a scholar, but when he was young, he was weak because of his health. There is no shortage of martial arts!

Not to mention how disappointed Ye Xiaopang would be when he heard the bland answer of his eldest brother-in-law, at this time, Wang Fu Linti slipped Wu Yingjie, who was full of apprehension, to an empty and quiet place in the atrium, and then asked bluntly: "Have you seen my Xiaoyun before?" ”

Wu Yingjie originally thought that Wang Fulin was going to tell him to treat his wife well and so on, but he didn't expect his eldest brother to ask this, and he was stunned for a moment before he said a little embarrassed: "Yes, my father-in-law said." If you don't know what each other looks like until you get married, if you look at each other at that time, won't you become a resentful couple, so let the two of us meet at Tianning Wanshou Temple in the north corner of Fucheng. ”

As soon as Wang Fulin came back, he visited the three main directors again, and someone else came to visit him. has not been able to find time to talk to his future brother-in-law, and Wu Yingming is a senior of Shexian School Palace who used to be quite good to him, and the marriage is already ironclad, and he knows that it will be useless to interfere again. This time, when he heard Wu Yingjie admit that at least both sides had seen each other, he was a little relieved, at least his father was not unreliable enough to ignore him when he was married.

Therefore, after he settled down, he spoke again: "Xiao Yun is diligent and thrifty, straightforward and capable, but her temper is a little big, I don't care if you know these before, now I will tell you 1510." You will be my brother-in-law in the future, and your brother and I will also be friends, if there is anything, you husband and wife will discuss and solve it by themselves, don't treat each other as outsiders. I was able to survive when I returned to my hometown after entering school and was robbed, thanks to the care of my two younger sisters day and night, I am where I am today. So, this sister has a different weight for me. I won't help her if she wants to lose her temper in the future, but if you have to be sorry for her, I won't stand idly by even if I'm in the north and south. ”

This was said very seriously, but Wu Yingjie was worthy of being privately determined by Wang Fulin's mother, Wu, that his temper was very good, and he nodded again and again: "Don't worry, I will definitely do it." ”

Wang Fulin thought about Wu Yingjie's performance in welcoming relatives and just entertaining guests, and was almost relieved of this brother-in-law, patting his shoulder was an encouragement, and then he put the groom back. However, he himself really didn't want to go back to the chief to face those flattering faces, so he simply stood in this empty atrium and looked at the moon. But he didn't stand long before he heard a soft cough coming from behind him. He turned his head to look, but found that it was none other than Old Lady Wu, the father of Wu Yingming's and Wu Yingjie's brothers, whom he had met a few times before.

"The old lady also has Yaxing to admire the moon?"

Old lady Wu was almost choked to death by Wang Fulin's leisurely tone. Viewing the moon, there is a waning moon hanging in the sky, and there are clouds to cover it and appear looming, what is there to appreciate? However, although his family has a lot of money, and he is also one of the elders who can speak well in Xixi South Village, and he is an elder, he can't put on a big stand in front of Wang Fulin. The wealth of the Wu clan in Xixi South is better than that of the Wang clan in Songming Mountain today, but there is no way, who let the Wu clan in Xixi Nan be a businessman, but they are lackluster in the imperial examination, and now the biggest hope is Wu Yingming? What's more, he came to Wang Fulin today. But it's not just for the relationship between the two in-laws.

So, he snorted, nodded with a smile and said, "Like the virtuous nephew, it is better to say that he is admiring the moon, but it is better to stay in it a little depressed, so he escaped from the table to blow the wind." ”

Wang Fulin knew that what Old Lady Wu said was not true. But people don't want to get straight to the point, on the night of his sister's wedding, he was also happy, and he didn't ask questions at the moment, and after bowing his head slightly, he held his hands and looked at the sky, looking at the sky with a self-satisfied posture. After maintaining such tranquility for a while, he heard the old lady Wu beside him smile bitterly: "It is said that virtuous nephews are young and old, and they are wise and almost demonic, so I shouldn't sell Guan Zi." The thing I'm trying to say is nothing else. It was the handsome Jiamo who was sent back by the virtuous nephew in the past. Yao Fu Zun has asked people to check the old files of the summer tax silk in Huizhou Mansion, and the governor of Ying Tian and Song Dynasty has also approved the re-investigation of this matter, but now the situation is delicate. ”

As soon as he heard that it was the Xia Tax Silk Silk that had caused Ye Cannon to be anxious with himself and made Shuai Jiamo almost seriously injured and dying in Jingshi, Wang Fulin suddenly chuckled in his heart. He wanted to say that he was returning to his hometown to recuperate, and he didn't want to care about these messy names, but the next moment Old Lady Wu threw out something that made him have to seriously consider it.

"If Lord Ye is still in office, even if he is not a county honor. It's Huining Dao, and the elders of She County will recognize it. After all, over the years, Wang Xiaoguan has hurt himself and fattened people, although the summer tax in She County is still indispensable to the nearly 10,000 silk, but other places have still been reduced, and others have gritted their teeth and survived. But now the county has already changed in the Yamen of Shexian County, and the examination method of Lord Shoufu is pressed on the top of his head. The tax is uneven, even if the other political achievements are good, they are definitely at the bottom level, so this time the county is urging very tightly, and when the soldiers go to the countryside. The people are complaining for a long time, and they have to collect the arrears of the past years! Therefore, Xue Xianzun is now very enthusiastic about this Junpai Xia tax silk, we Shexian gentlemen are really muttering in our hearts, and we have no bottom in our hearts, if the virtuous nephew can stand up and raise his arms, it will be different. Those who can work hard, and please take care of the virtuous nephew! ”

Wang Fulin didn't believe that these wealthy businessmen and gentry would really think about the interests of ordinary people wholeheartedly and stand up for the excessive tax burden of ordinary people. He remembered that the last time he was caught in the dispute between the Zhuchuan Wang clan and his uncle's Shexian eunuch for the right to speak, this time what did the old lady Wu in Xixinan want?

Seeing that Wang Fulin was still calm and calm in front of his righteous indignation, not at all like when his son came back to tell him those things in Liaodong, he was alive and free from the image of an impulsive and hot-blooded young man, Old Lady Wu couldn't help but be a little anxious, and secretly thought that it was no wonder that Wang Fulin could still cause a bloody storm when he went to Beijing, but he turned out to be such a difficult person. Just as he was very entangled and thinking about where to start next, he saw someone coming over there, and immediately shut up. When a few figures got closer and found that it was the leaders of the third class and the sixth room of the county government, he immediately guessed their intentions, and simply quietly gave up the place.

If you can't do it yourself, you can change people!

As soon as Wang Fulin saw the combination of Liu Hui, Zhang Siyi, Xiao Zhenyue, and Zhao Wuye, he knew that what they said was probably related to the meaning of Old Lady Wu's words. Sure enough, Liu Hui, who was closest to him, said bluntly: "Little official, it's a bit unpleasant to talk about business at this time, but if you don't talk about it, we may not be able to find a chance to get out of the city next time." Now that the imperial court has implemented the long-term law, Tang Zun has just taken office this year, and he has to be in office for six years, and the collection of summer taxes and autumn grains every year is all in the evaluation, so he said after he arrived that urging the department is the top priority. However, after Shuai Jiamo came back, he once visited Yao Fuzun with great fanfare, and many people in She County were very dissatisfied with our inaction because of his injuries or admiration or righteous indignation. Moreover, I don't know if Shopkeeper Ye told the little official, Tangzun summoned him once, and then it seemed that he had a falling out. ”

As soon as he heard this, Wang Fulin was stunned. Not to mention that the new county order sent the post before, when he came to visit the door later, people didn't mention this dispute with Ye Qinglong, that is, Ye Qinglong, when he came to visit his old master, how could he mention that there was still this joint? It is said that the county order of the broken family, don't look at him now that he is just a new jinshi, as long as the smart and powerful family will not offend the lord of a county too much, what the hell is Ye Qinglong doing, could it be that the young man is a big shopkeeper and gets carried away?

At this time, Xiao Zhenyue continued: "Moreover, because Shuai Jiamo was covered in bruises and swore in front of the people that he would carry out the matter of the Pingxia tax silk to the end, many rich people who wanted fame, as well as the people of She County, donated silver, ranging from three or five to a few taels, and scraped together hundreds of taels for him to go to Nanjing as a travel fee, and now it is said that he is coming back from Nanjing, and this matter can also have a formal result, so Tangzun hinted at the words, and someone prepared colorful flags and drums to welcome the hero." We are afraid that Shuai Jiamo will not have that ability, and when the time comes, it will arouse the disappointment of the people; Or if he really succeeds, then the public opinion in the other five counties will be in an uproar, and some people will take the opportunity to make trouble. You must know that Cheng Wenlie, who has repeatedly calculated the petty officials before, has been out of the limelight for many years, and has returned to Wuyuan. ”

Wang Fu Linden was extremely annoyed. What can work hard, it's really endless! He came back to "recuperate", not to clean up the mess!

PS: Shanghai Xiaonian seems to be tomorrow, so tomorrow will start the vacation list to change 4,000 words. At the end of the year, there is only a New Year's rest, everyone forgive me, and I wish you a happy New Year in advance! - (To be continued.) )
