In front of Wang's house in the back street of the county, two black lacquer gates were opening at this time, and a young man sat on the stone steps in front of the door with his legs apart, watching with great interest a mule cart on the opposite side was moving things from the county magistrate's office. If it weren't for the people who knew him, no one would have thought that such a young man wearing cloth clothes and looking like an ordinary domestic servant or even a little guy would be the famous Ye Da shopkeeper in Huizhou Mansion today.

When Ye Qinglong's gaze met the emaciated middle-aged man who came out of the gate of the official mansion, he clearly noticed that the other party's face showed a trace of deep resentment. If it were according to the character of the shopkeeper Ye Da who would repay him on weekdays, he would have to step forward and let out a bad breath at this time, but behind it was his master's family, if he left a bad impression in front of Wang Daoyun and his wife, Wang Fulin would not give him good fruits to eat when he turned around. Therefore, Ye Qinglong maintained a good demeanor, and continued to sit at the gate steadily, but there was a somewhat mocking smile on his face.

But just when he thought that he was kind enough not to fall into the well, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the street, and he quickly stood up and looked over. When he found the fat figure in front of his head, he immediately smiled, and he didn't care if it would make Xue Chao misunderstand, so he hurriedly patted the floating ash on the clothes behind him, and walked forward quickly. When the horse stopped in front of him, and saw Ye Xiaopang jumping off the horse with an agility that did not match his figure, he said with a smile: "Uncle, congratulations!" ”

Ye Xiaopang was completely because he heard the guards in Xin'anmen say that Xue Chao was going to slip away, so he rushed over to see the excitement and heard Ye Qinglong's words. He was suddenly confused by the second monk. It was the tip of Qiu Feng's ears that came from behind. After jumping off the horse, he deliberately asked Ye Qinglong, "What congratulations?" Could it be that our eldest uncle is going to get married? ”

"Isn't it?" Ye Qinglong saw that Ye Xiaopang's big mouth was enough to stuff an egg. Then he said with a smile, "The father-in-law and mother-in-law of the little official came back from the Beijing division and asked the little official and the eldest grandmother to send the eldest uncle back to Ningbo to complete the marriage, they will not be able to come back for a while, and it is okay for the sister and brother-in-law to do this kind of big thing." If it weren't for the fact that the eldest lady and eldest aunt of the Ye family had gone to Beijing before, it would have been best for two groups of people to send them together, but now they can only grieve the eldest uncle, after all, the man should marry the woman and get married. Can't afford to delay. The little official and the eldest grandmother can also go to visit the old lady of the Ye family on the way, and let the eldest uncle and his wife go to Beijing when they turn around. ”

It was only at this time that Ye Xiaopang saw Jinbao and Qiu Feng's ill-intentioned smiles, and he wanted to cry without tears. He teased this and that before, but in the end it was like death. In this giggling sound, no one noticed the infinitely desolate figure of Xue Chao in Qianshe County. Even Wang Fulin, who hurried home from the back street of the county, just glanced at it very indifferently.

After all, even Zhang Siwei or Wang Chonggu were dismissed as a fellow villager but the first official was dismissed. There shouldn't be much more resources to be invested. Who is not cultivating with this kung fu?

learned that Ye Xiaopang was also getting married, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law had to send people back to Ningbo with Xiaobei to go to Ten Thousand Souls. Wang Fulin was really "surprised and delighted". After returning to his hometown, he attended three weddings in a row -- although one had not yet had time to go -- and finalized two marriages one after another. At the same time, he was also quite glad that in addition to Wang Erniang's wedding, the rest of the marriages finally washed away the curse of the disaster star that permeated him. In his mind, after all, the trip to Xuancheng was smooth and smooth, and there was nothing at all!

Because Wang Daoyun said that Wang Daokun also sent a letter with Ye Junyao, saying that his appointment had not yet been agreed, and he should not be awarded an official for a while, Wang Fulin was also relieved to prepare for going to Ningbo, and at the same time he was also thinking about going to Xinchang on the return trip to see if Lu Guangwu had returned to his hometown. For this trip back, Xiaobei is naturally very happy. Although Huizhou is her real hometown, for her, who has lived in Ningbo for several years, it is also a place worth remembering, plus her parents and sister are not there, as an older sister, she naturally mentions Ye Xiaopang'er all the way.

This time, Xiaobei refused to take a boat, Wang Fulin could ride a horse in this line, so he simply took the land route, and when he arrived in Ningbo, it was just the weather warmer in March, one of the best seasons of the year. But as soon as Wang Fulin inquired about the wedding date, he was shocked, it turned out that there were less than twenty days left before the scheduled date! It's just that everyone in the Ye family is very busy, even the old lady Ye saw the little fat dun, and she was a good grandson, smiling happily, as if she was not worried that the groom would be delayed on the road and would not be able to catch up with the established day.

Wang Fulin didn't know what to say about this: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law and old lady have to be so big-hearted!" What if the Messenger encounters any delay on the way, or if we have any delay on the way? ”

"Isn't there no delay now?" Regarding Wang Fulin's unfounded worries, Xiaobei said indifferently, "Anyway, I caught up." Daddy and mother are not here, except for grandmother, we are the biggest elders of Ming Zhao, you can be ready to give a meeting gift when the time comes! ”

"Okay, I won't lose face to my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Although Wang Fulin said that he felt that the Ye family was big-hearted, but when he saw Ye Xiaopang like a marionette, being tossed half-dead, he couldn't help but think of himself, Wang Erniang, and the scene of Shen Yourong's marriage this time. Although this is a great joy in life, as the protagonist, in addition to joy, it is really pitiful. And even if Ye Xiaopang has seen his wife who has not passed through the door once or twice, it is always not like him and Xiaobei, he didn't look up and looked down back to see each other, he got along a lot, and there was no psychological barrier when he got married, but he was afraid that his brother-in-law was definitely beating the drum in his heart.

On the day of marriage, Ye Xiaopang was really a little numb by others, the smile on his face was stiff, and he did whatever people told him to do, especially in front of those elders, he only nodded his head. remembered that when Wang Fulin and Xiaobei got married, not to mention his parents, even the elders of the Wang family in Songmingshan, they didn't dare to dictate to them, but they were treated so differently by themselves. He wanted to cry. At the wedding banquet. Those brothers of the same generation coaxed and persuaded them to drink. At the end of the round, he was about to throw up.

Just when he couldn't support it anymore, he finally heard a voice from behind him: "Although it is a happy day, you should drink less." Whoever will give the bridegroom, I will drink for him. ”

Brother-in-law, you're so good!

Ye Xiaopang was almost grateful, but when he saw his cousins seeing Wang Fulin, they immediately looked like mice seeing cats, either snorting or whispering apologies. Anyway, it didn't take long for them to disperse. At this time, he couldn't help but turn his head, looked at Wang Fulin with a resentful face, and said, "Brother-in-law, teach me, how can people see me in awe and dare not coax when they see me?" ”

"You want to learn?" Wang Fulin looked at Ye Xiaopang with a smile, and when he saw him nodding again and again, he smiled and said, "Then you have to learn your brother-in-law's ability to attract disasters first, you don't know that everyone calls me a disaster star." Do you have to get into trouble wherever you go? ”

Ye Xiaopang was dumbfounded, and then recalled Wang Fulin's ability to attract disasters. He immediately shuddered, and no longer dared to ask how to be awe-inspiring. If he causes trouble wherever he goes, and he doesn't have the ability to solve the crisis accordingly, the flesh and bones on his body will have to be torn apart!

This night, Wang Fulin and Xiaobei still stayed in the Ye family's old house, the east wing of the courtyard where Mrs. Ye was. When the two talked about accompanying Mrs. Ye to Putuo Mountain next, they all had mixed feelings. Four or five years have passed, and Zhang Taizheng, whom they met in Putuo Mountain, has been returned to his hometown Puzhou by Wang Fulin, and he will never meet those Buddha machine people again. It was the precious gemstone rough that they got back then, and it is still the best thing they use to give gifts.

"I must go to Macau if I have the chance, oh, we Mingren should say that the entrenchment mirror is right."

Xiaobei knew that Wang Fulin was this impatient and idle at home, of course he wouldn't pour cold water when he heard this, but he added angrily: "Anyway, I'll go wherever you go, I'll take a good look at you for my father!" ”

"I know, so I didn't expect you to be an honest daughter-in-law who serves your in-laws." After Wang Fulin said this, he suddenly turned over and pressed up, and then put it in his wife's ear and said, "But then again, after so many years of hard work, there is no man and half woman, from today on, let's change our posture." ”

On the night of candles in this leafy cave room, in this west wing, it was turned over by the red waves for a while, and the spring was melting.

Early the next morning, when Ye Xiaopang brought the bride to visit the elders for tea, he found that Xiaobei's face was suspiciously flushed, but seeing that Wang Fulin was calm and relaxed, he didn't take it too seriously. As the newlyweds bowed down, the gifts given by the bride were sent out one by one, and the meeting gifts of others were also received one by one, especially the things sent by Wang Fulin and Xiaobei were valuable and rich, so that Ye Junyao's brothers and sisters-in-law all looked straight. The nail size of the gold silk pearl tiara, the yellow and clear red gold inlaid with red sapphire bracelet, the gold used is afraid of no more than thirty or forty taels, plus a painting of flowers and a full moon, it is simply a generous shot!

Even for Wang Fulin who was obviously admitted to the Jinshi, but has not been awarded an official until now, the relatives of the Ye family have some chaotic speculations in their hearts, but Wang Fulin is famous, and he is clearly rich and rich, and his uncle Wang Daokun is still serving as a squire in the military department, and no one dares to offend this relative. Therefore, Mrs. Ye only took Wang Fulin and Xiaobei, Ye Xiaopang and the bride to Putuo Mountain to worship the Buddha, and even if the others were jealous, they could only murmur behind their backs. This trip to Putuo Mountain went smoothly, and Wang Fulin also deliberately stayed on the island with Mrs. Ye for two days, which can be regarded as completing the promise he promised Xiaobei after the township test that year but did not fulfill.

After a total of a month in Ningbo, Wang Fulin took Xiaobei to prepare for the return trip. As for Ye Xiaopang, he can't hang out outside, he is already a talent because he missed the previous scientific examination held in Ningbo Prefecture, so he has to participate in this year's legacy test to see if he can be lucky enough to participate in this year's township test in Zhejiang. And Jinbao was the head of the Huining Road case before, so he was able to go to the autumn without taking the exam, which made Wang Fulin worry a lot, of course, this time most of them just felt the atmosphere on the end, and did not seek to pass the exam. Qiu Feng also had to participate in the Huining Dao scientific examination to see if he could be qualified for the township examination. Therefore, Wang Fulin had no choice but to send his entourage to send people back to Huizhou Mansion first.

On the way back from Ningbo, Wang Fulin went to Xinchang again, and learned that Lu Guangwu had not come back yet, and He Xinyin went to the south to give lectures. After this coming, he and Xiaobei returned to Huizhou Mansion again, and it was already the end of May. What he didn't expect was that waiting for him at home was not only the second elder, his uncle Wu Tianbao and Wang Yuanguan, Wang Xiaomei and his brother-in-law, but also Qiu Feng, who had won the scientific examination, Jinbao, who was working hard to prepare for the township test, and the belated appointment of the imperial court.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is different from the Tang Dynasty, ordinary new jinshi do not need to be elected for three years, most of them are used immediately under the list of the year, and it is already considered slow to drag on until the second year, and it can be compensated for a good official, not to mention that he has already dragged it out to the third year?

Seeing the delicate faces of his parents and a large number of relatives and friends, Wang Fulin, who had just returned home, couldn't help but feel furious: "What kind of appointment is it, to put it bluntly, it can't let me go to Guangxi or Guizhou to be a county magistrate, right?" If that's really the case, there's nothing to be afraid of, being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day, even if it's a long-term service, isn't it just six years? ”

"You didn't make a mistake, and you weren't the top three, how could the appointment of the court be so outrageous?" Wang Daoyun was choked by Wang Fulin's breath, and it took a long time to hand over the official document of the ministry, "Look for yourself!" ”

When Wang Fulin saw the specific content of the appointment, he understood why there were so many people in his family. Because of the concise official documents, he was sent to Guangdong to patrol the imperial history! He said that he would not go to the Imperial Procuratorate, who came up with the idea to send him a patrol to the imperial history? This appointment is too unreasonable, did the Ming Dynasty have such a young patrol imperial history, and was the imperial historian assigned to the new jinshi as an official? And seeing that there are only about twenty days left in this deadline, how can he hurry up so as not to meet the deadline for going to office?

As for these groups of relatives and friends, they were probably afraid that after he saw the appointment, he would directly make his temperament go away, and what kind of moths would come out, so they all stayed at home!

He sighed and asked helplessly, "What about uncle?" For such a big thing, he didn't bring a letter? ”

"Of course."

This time, it was Wu Tianbao who handed over Wang Daokun's letter. Wang Fulin took it, but found that the envelope was named for himself, and it had not been opened. Although he was very curious about how Wang Daoyun and these relatives and friends couldn't help but peek, he still opened the envelope and took out the letterhead for the first time, and quickly glanced at it. But when he understood the gist of the letter, he almost didn't get angry.

However, it turned out that the one-year term of the Guangdong Governor was about to expire, and it was just when the Yao people in western Guangdong were rising again, and the imperial court was ordering Ling Yunyi, the governor of Liangguang, to prepare for the use of troops, so he had to send additional military salaries in the ten provinces, so in addition to supervising the officials of the ten provinces, he also had another major responsibility, that is, to supervise the requisition and use of this military salary, and at the same time assist the governor of Liangguang to extinguish the Yaomin uprising this time as soon as possible! How to levy military salaries without arousing public resentment and revolt at the same time, this is the problem that he needs to consider as a patrol of imperial history.

He knew that this seemingly unusually promoted patrol imperial history was definitely not a good thing!
