Since ancient times, officials have paid attention to their fellow villagers and the same year, and sometimes they have to add the same year. As for the mutual marriage between officialdom and leaning on the arm, it is even more unsurprising. Therefore, Wang Zhen heard that Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan had not only been friends since childhood, but also had a roundabout in-law relationship in addition to being fellow villagers in the same year, and he immediately laughed.

"Are you not brothers more than brothers?"

Cheng Naixuan has never had a good impression of those old pedantic officials, seeing that Wang Zhan has no squire like a squire, but ridiculed the two of them, he naturally felt that the other party was very kind, and immediately nodded again and again: "Wang Sikou is not bad, I have always regarded Shuangmu as a brother with a different surname." If I didn't have a sister, I would have to make him my brother-in-law. ”

Seeing that Cheng Naixuan had committed this old mistake again, Wang Fulin suddenly glared at this guy angrily. Immediately after, he remembered that Jinbao had ordered in advance, but still hadn't come earlier, and couldn't help frowning. After all, he knows Jinbao's temperament best, as long as it is what he orders, he will never ignore it, and it is impossible to use excuses such as getting up late and falling asleep to prevaricate himself. In that case, how could there be no one at this time? After just a moment of silence, he decided not to dwell on this matter for now, but to take Wang Zhen to take a good look at his new home.

Cheng Naixuan has been moving here since two days ago, and all the families have already arrived, but his daughter-in-law, that is, Xu Guo's only daughter, that Miss Xu has good news again, so he is ecstatic, and this new home has to be arranged by a big man.

Therefore, for the housewarming, although he also invited his father-in-law Xu Guo, after all, Xu Guo is a busy man in the Hanlin Academy, and he is not as idle as the old man of the pavilion, so he doesn't expect an elder like his father-in-law to come in person, so he only invited his uncle, who gave him a ruthless meal because of the marriage, and Xu Zhihe, who was also Wang Fulin's brother-in-law, and just brought Jinbao again.

Therefore, Wang Fulin was muttering why Jinbao hadn't arrived yet, and Cheng Naixuan was also thinking about how his eldest brother was too late, and when the two of them walked around with Wang Seal, they couldn't help but be slightly distracted. Fortunately, there are always two people in the area, and this distracted person is on top of that, and he finally doesn't show his absent-minded flaws.

And Wang Zhen was also a top three jinshi back then, and Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan were naturally quite topical about the younger generations who were in the top three, along the way he did not show off his literary talents, and the names of those pavilions and pavilions were quite easy to understand, because the two courtyards planted the most bamboo, what empty cuiju, what bamboo pavilion, and what Qinghao building is left...... According to Cheng Naixuan's private statement to Wang Fulin, Wang Shaosikou is obviously a die-hard fan of Wang Wei and Wang Maha, and every word is taken from Wang Majie's hand-me-downs. But the two of them are not fastidious people, and most of them have made up their minds without thinking about it.

Chen Bingchang, who followed behind, was naturally in charge of recording, and he gradually faded his awe of this third-grade squire - after all, Wang Zhan had been working diligently in the field for so many years, and he had studied less about history and history, except for the resignations he liked when he was young, many of the rest were put aside. But there were several words that seemed to come out of his mouth, and he thought about them carefully as he walked, but in the end he felt that there was something else. But just as Chen Xiaoxianggong was learning all the way, he saw someone calling behind him, he turned his head to look, but found that it was the ink fragrance next to Cheng Naixuan who rushed over.

"Young Master, Wang Xiaoguan, Master Xu is here, and he is also bringing Gongzi Xu and Brother Bao."

Hearing that Xu Guo actually came in person, Wang Fulin couldn't help but be a little surprised, and glanced at Cheng Naixuan at the moment, and his eyes clearly asked, your father-in-law is resting today? Cheng Naixuan didn't hear about this stubble when he went back to visit his wife yesterday, and he suddenly shook his head a little dazedly. Wang Zhen didn't care, and said with a slight smile: "I have admired the name of Bachelor Xu for a long time, I didn't expect to meet here today, and I will go over with you to greet you." ”

Xu Guo is a Jinshi in Jiajing for 44 years, and he has been out of office for 12 years; And Wang Zhan is a Jinshi in Jiajing for 41 years, only one term earlier than Xu Guo. Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan, who are both about 20 years old, are different, Xu Guo was only a jinshi at the age of 38, and Wang Zhan was a 43-year-old talent on the gold list, ranking only in the top three, all of which can be regarded as late bloomers, but they have not had any friendship before. After meeting, although there were differences in the seniority and official positions of the two people, they always greeted each other like old men, and after a few small salutes, Wang Fu Lin Cheng Naixuan saw that the two had something to say, so he pulled Xu Zhihe and Jinbao aside.

Naturally, there is only one question they are most curious about, why did Xu Guo come?

Xu Zhihe saw that Jinbao shut up and didn't speak, and he, as the eldest son of his father, had to answer questions for his brother-in-law and brother-in-law. He coughed lightly, and then he spoke: "It's because I heard that Wang Sikou is here, that my father came." The Hanlin Academy dismissed two this time, Shen Maoxue and Feng Mengzhen planned to sue for illness again, and the rest ...... There are also several Shu Jishi who even edit and revise to lead to illness, so although my father is not a bachelor, he has to bite the bullet to probe Wang Sikou's tone. Wang Sikou's stay in Beijing this time was instructed by Yuanfu, and everyone knew that he was the only one who had seen Yuanfu recently. ”

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Naixuan couldn't help but glance at Wang Fulin - what was the only person who saw Zhang Juzheng? Listening to Wang Fulin's tone, during the period when Zhang Juzheng was guarding Qiqi at home, he saw Zhang Juzheng more than once!

Xu Zhihe naturally didn't know what Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan had exchanged eyebrows, but he saw Cheng Naixuan's strange expression, and immediately shouted: "Dad can't help it, after all, although the Hanlin Academy is not the kind of place where the six departments of science and Taoism Dali Temple do practical things, there are a lot of various dictionaries that can be compiled, especially the actual records of Emperor Sejong are in the final stage, and they are all unwilling to do it, so they can't all let the bachelors take the lead, right?" Besides......" He paused a little unnaturally, and then whispered, "Dad was also forced to come." ”

Forced?

Wang Fulin felt that with Xu Guo's low-key and introverted temperament, there was no reason for him to come here to meet Zhang Juzheng's "confidant", and when he heard that it was forced, he was naturally very interested. He is like this, Cheng Naixuan, who does not take his uncle as an outsider, is even more curious, first knocking on the side, and then simply pulling Jinbao to ask. In the end, Xu Zhihe, who was really entangled and couldn't help it, said in a low voice: "It's Ma Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites." ”

It turned out to be Ma Ziqiang......

Wang Fulin breathed a sigh of relief. Ma Ziqiang was born in the standard Hanlin Academy, and Li Chunfang, the first assistant in the Longqing period, was on the same list, and he was also a top three jinshi - it can be seen that even if the old man of the pavilion is concerned, as long as the top three jinshi can choose Shu Jishi and then stay in the museum, the possibility of entering the cabinet is not inferior to the Dingjia and the second class - and this started from the Hanlin Academy step by step, and was the daily lecturer of the Wanli Emperor.

This is the old boss who has been in charge of the Hanlin Academy and the Guozijian, Ma Ziqiang came forward to ask for it, Xu Guozheng is working hard for the old man of the Hanlin Academy, who is in charge of the Hanlin Academy and the Guozi Priest Wine, as a bachelor, how can he not give the old boss face, he really doesn't want to come!

Sure enough, they waited by the side for a while, and Xu Guo and Wang Zhen had already finished talking. It's just that, judging from the expressions of the two, whether it is Wang Fulin, Cheng Naixuan, Xu Zhihe and Jinbao, it is impossible to see whether the two have come up with a result.

However, Xu Guo just walked around, and when Cheng Naixuan asked himself to ask himself to ask the main hall, he was about to push it to Wang Zhen's head, but in the end, he had no choice under the jokes of the other party's son-in-law, and finally shook his head and said: "Wang, Cheng, and Xu are all big families in She County, and there are many branches, but there are only a few hall numbers. You are now officials, in order not to be said by others to forget your ancestors, this main hall would rather follow the crowd and only use what your ancestors left behind. In my opinion, Jinhua, you can use your Huaitang, the most commonly used Qingyutang of the Cheng clan. ”

Although Xu Guo's knowledge is second to none in the Hanlin Academy, Wang Fulin can't help but want to complain at this moment - even if the Cheng family really has a hall called Qingyutang, but the first thing he thought of was Hu Xueyan's famous Qingyutang, and the second time he thought of Qingyu Nian - no way, it's not good to think too much about associations. However, seeing that Cheng Naixuan nodded very cautiously in agreement, and Wang Zhan was also full of approval, he knew that the name of Cheng Naixuan's main hall was finalized.

and made Cheng Naixuan the master, but Xu Guo refused to continue to act on behalf of Wang Fulin, but pushed it to Wang Zhen. Wang Zhen thought about it carefully, Xu Guo asked Cheng Naixuan not to forget his ancestors, but he refused to let Wang Fulin have an ancestral hall name, I am afraid that it has nothing to do with Wang Fulin directly angry Wang Daokun. Thinking that Wang Fulin was really wronged, he didn't shirk it, and when he arrived in Wang Fulin's study, he splashed ink and wrote three words with thick ink.

Xin'an Hall.

Xin'an's ten surnames are nine Wang, the name of this main hall is not lost at first glance, but in fact, it can be traced back to the source, but it is also the ancestor of respecting the heavens, and even Xu Guo couldn't help laughing. As soon as the two high-ranking officials joined forces, Wang Cheng's two new residences had a good name for any interesting courtyard or pavilion, and after finally treating the guests and hosts to the fullest, Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan took the initiative to present a very generous pen.

Of course, it is not gold and silver vulgarity, but a seal stone that has no price in the market today......

Xu Guo was born poor, and he has always been in the Hanlin Academy system in the capital, and there is no oil and water at all, so he basically relies on walking to go out...... Not really, after all, he is now the biggest official in Xu Village, not to mention the descendants of the recently deceased Mrs. Xu, who also continue to support him, and even his in-law Master Cheng has not provided him with all kinds of conveniences. He is not a lonely person, but he only receives a small amount of funding, which can only allow him to live a relatively ordinary life in the capital. Even if his daughter-in-law Ye Mingyue married richly, he never refused to let his daughter-in-law subsidize the family, and the only thing he received was a little birthday gift from his daughter-in-law when he celebrated his birthday several times.

Most of them are calligraphy and paintings, but this year I just sent a bloodstone.

And now, Cheng Naixuan, the son-in-law, also painted a gourd and sent such a bloodstone, he refused and felt unreasonable, so he had to speak: "I got a good middle hall before, and let your uncle send it in the future, and it happened to hang in the hall." ”

Cheng Naixuan knew that his father-in-law refused to touch his own light, and the things that came back this time were definitely not cheap, so he could only laugh again and again, insisting that this was a pen, not filial piety. And Wang Zhan looked at the Fang Tian Huang in his hand, and couldn't cry or laugh, while Weng was fighting in the ring over there, he whispered to Wang Fulin with a straight face: "I knew that you were taking the opportunity to give gifts and bribes, so I wouldn't come!" ”

"This is something that Brother Cheng and I have prepared a long time ago, and giving it to the two of you is a good thing. As the old saying goes, swords are given to heroes, and I am not in the criminal department, but I am filial piety and respect for the elders, and I can't fight with bribes. To be honest, I tell Wang Sikou the truth, Brother Cheng's things may be ancestral, but I am different, as long as I find the right place, this kind of hard-to-find thing, sometimes it can be obtained without much effort, after all, there are many unscrupulous descendants in the world who sell their ancestors' treasures. I'm not a person who scrapes the ground, so Wang Sikou keeps it for his own use, or for the children to enjoy it, but it's just a thing. ”

Wang Zhan just turned around, and only felt that these two mansions were located in a relatively low area of the capital, and they looked very low-key on the outside, but they were also simple on the inside, and the furnishings were not luxurious, so he forgot that Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan were from a family of Hui merchants. Therefore, he really can't find fault with Wang Fulin's sophistry - he has only just entered Beijing, and Wang Fulin should not be able to inquire about his good Tian Huang! Besides, didn't Xu Guo also get a valuable bloodstone?

So, thinking about Xu Guo's return to the Zhongtang painting, he thought for a while, and then said happily: "Even so, I saw that you didn't have a good inkstone in your study, and it happened that I got a Chengni inkstone before, and I gave it to you when I turned around." ”

These bosses are all unwilling to take advantage of them...... But it's okay, they are all very virtuous people!

Wang Fulin didn't mention that the Yan in his hometown was also one of the world's famous inkstones, but there was only one side of the table on his table, because he knew that Wang Zhan was just one more useless. Next, he didn't ask a word about the outcome of the negotiation between the two bigwigs, so he sent the person out with a smile, and he was also happy to see Xu Guo invite Wang Zhen to Jinbao's apprenticeship banquet when he left. Of course, Xu Zhihe couldn't stay and continue to walk after his father left, he still had the important task of studying and taking the imperial examination to complete, but Jinbao stayed after all.

Regarding the news revealed by Xu Zhihe before, Jinbao, who is a famous disciple of Xu Guo, also provided a little additional explanation.

"When Ma Shangshu left, the teacher personally went to deliver it, and I was about to go out at that time, and I happened to hear Ma Shangshu say...... Even if Bachelor Xu's trip is unsuccessful, he will write to save Wu Zhongxing and Zhao Yongxian. After all, they just wrote a euphemism saying that Lord Shoufu was not good at winning affection, and the meaning of the words was not excessive, so the army was too heavy, and at least they had to fight for dismissal. ”
