In the east wing of the small courtyard that Xu Guo entered, Xiaobei had been sitting at the head of Miss Xu's bed since he entered the door, and the questions never stopped.

"When was there? What did the doctor call say, and did you remind you to pay attention to anything? ”

"I heard that people who are happy like to eat sour, why didn't you have any signs before?"

"I heard Wang Fulin say that before having a child, you have to take care of your body, you suddenly go from south to north, can your body be able to eat?"

"Why did Cheng Naixuan want to go to Anyang to take office at this time, and Master Xu didn't mention what officials he hoped he would be able to award?"

Miss Xu is originally a shy person, Xiaobei's series of questions, she can answer the ones about herself, as for her husband's official career, this is all discussed by her father and her husband Weng and his son-in-law, she abides by women's morals and does not dare to ask more, Cheng Naixuan told her how much is how much. But no matter what, she was naturally grateful to Xiao Beida and Wang Fulin who hurried over at night, but all the words she said were biased towards her husband and father. In the end, she found that Xiaobei couldn't help but hold her hand, she thought that Xiaobei was also worried about her heir, and couldn't help but comfort: "Don't worry, you are younger than me, you will be ...... soon"

"Sister, don't talk about me. Although Cheng Naixuan's guy is sometimes out of tune, he is also a very controllable person, but being an official outside is not as good as being at home, after Yangzhou Master Cheng learned that he was a jinshi, did he send someone over? It's not so easy to be a county magistrate, look at what my dad was embarrassed to be. If it weren't for Wang Fulin, there would have been a big mess! At the beginning, my mother wanted to rely on my father not to bring my master, let him suffer a little first, and then he would be able to change the problem of talking big, who would have thought that he would almost get into such a big trouble as the Huizhou Xia tax silk dispute. Not to mention anything else, is there a reliable master candidate around Cheng Naixuan? Are there any candidates for personal entourage? And there is. Does the maid bring it? ”

Xiaobei was there to worry about Miss Xu, Wang Fulin was in the Xu family's study, and in front of Xu Guo, a bachelor in Hanlin, he also asked Cheng Naixuan a series of similar questions. Compared with learning, he fully admitted that the difference between himself and the recognized "can't remember to ask Lao Xu" of the Hanlin Academy is like a world of difference, but Xu Guo has been studying hard before taking the Jinshi examination. He has never been out of the Hanlin Academy since Zhongjinshi, and his road to becoming an official is the same as that of Zhang Ju, so he doesn't care if he robs his father-in-law's job, and directly lists the necessary conditions for a county order. Compared with those mentioned by Xiaobei who followed Ye Junyao's ears, there are a few more.

For example, a local helper who is familiar with the local humanities and geography; For example, information about the local wealthy families and eunuchs and various prickly heads...... In his opinion, know yourself and know your opponent. to be invincible.

Seeing that his most hardcore friend was so enthusiastic, Cheng Naixuan naturally felt that he had a lot of face in front of his father-in-law, and immediately coughed dryly and said: "Grandmother and mother gave me four relatives before, and my father heard that I was awarded the Jinshi, and sent four more, all of whom have children in the Cheng family, loyal and reliable." I have ink fragrance with people around me, so the maid won't bring it first. After all, the lady is waiting to give birth in the capital and needs someone to serve her. As for the master. I used to think that most of my top three jinshi might have to release county orders or government officials, so I have contacted two people who say that they are good at criminal names, but they haven't decided yet, and the others haven't had time yet, after all, there are so many county orders and government officials that have been released before, and I thought that I would have to wait for at least half a year. ”

Seeing Wang Fulin nodding while listening. Then he secretly glanced at himself, and Xu Guo suddenly felt a little unnatural. If you ask who has a well-written article and is the most talented, he can definitely say the names of ten or eight fallen sons casually, but he takes the standard Hanlin prince's route. For a talent like the master who really handles affairs, it's really not very familiar. Therefore, he thought about it, and finally said honestly: "Although Ziang is ready to be released, I have already mentioned to others before that I plan to release him in the capital or Nanjing Guozijian. Although it is only from the eighth grade, it is important to be noble, and I didn't expect there to be a change. ”

Cheng Naixuan never knew that his father-in-law actually planned to give him the position of Guozi Supervisor, don't look at Dr. Guozi seems to be inconspicuous from the eighth grade, but that is a good shortage of new jinshi who regards him as a beautiful official! Of course, he was really grateful and not interested in the slightest, after all, he was only so old that he didn't want to mix with those old pedants at all. Besides, from the pedestrian department to Dr. Guozi, Zhongshu Sheren, and Dali Commentator, they have all been sent a long time ago. But Xu Guo didn't mention it before, obviously either because something went wrong, or because the idea was similar to Wang Fulin, and he planned to delay his candidacy for half a year and a year.

"Of course, I was going to let him run for a year, so this time he suddenly released the county order, and I was a little caught off guard. Although I am not familiar with the master needed by the county order, I have asked my colleagues to help recommend him. As for the palm eye, I think Shiqing should be more familiar than me, so I can only ask you. As for who the prefect of Zhangde in Henan is, who he is good friends with, his old in-laws, and other local eunuchs and gentry, I will let people sort it out in detail. In addition, Anyang City of Zhangde Mansion is not as good as other places, there is also a royal family there, since King Zhao was sealed in Zhangde Mansion, the county kings of King Zhao's family are all there, plus various clans, it is definitely not an easy place. ”

Xu Guo said it so thoroughly, Cheng Naixuan was already in awe of this father-in-law, of course he didn't have any complaints at the moment, but when he thought that there was still such a group of royal ancestors in the place under his jurisdiction, his face was good, and his mood was good, all of them were very bad. And Wang Fulin frowned even more, and asked bluntly: "Does Master Xu know how this official from the Ministry of Officials was sent?" Is it the same as the previous group of people, the Tianguan Otsuka Zai Zhang personally decided, or is it the handwriting of the Anthology Division, or is there any other famous hall? ”

"This batch only has one county order and two magistrates for Ziang, so I can't be sure." Xu Guo paused, seemed to hesitate whether to say it, and finally confided a trace of hidden feelings, "It is said that it is still related to Lord Shoufu, of course, someone may have made a suggestion to Lord Shoufu." ”

The reason why it is "still" naturally means that Zhang Juzheng is really concerned about this branch jinshi, and Wang Fulin learned through Wang Daokun from Tan Lunna's news channel that it was the first assistant of the hall who directly instructed Zhang Han, the secretary of the ministry. At this moment, when he saw Cheng Naixuan's face, he immediately closed the fan in his hand and said, "The matter has come to this, it is useless to think about anything else." I also ask Master Xu to find all the masters who recommended me tomorrow, Brother Cheng, you are the same, those two masters are called, and I will check it myself. The kind of place in Anyang is not something that any master can do, and if you don't ask for merit, at least you must not have it! ”

The place where the master was interviewed in the afternoon of the next day, of course, would not be in the Xu family, which was so cramped that he only had one courtyard. Since Wang Fulin felt that Cheng Naixuan was sent to Anyang, maybe he was also involved by himself, so he didn't want to sit idly by, so he directly chose the location in the small mansion that was empty after he moved out. Several masters from all over the world arrived one after another, and when they saw that this small house looked inconspicuous, they had different expressions at the moment. Some people who know that the famous Master Xu of the Hanlin Academy is actually very poor, so they naturally feel that they are exaggerating; There are people who only know that the Cheng family is rich, and they can't help muttering at this moment.

It wasn't until Qi Buping came out to take them in that he saw a few motionless attendants standing motionless in the outer courtyard, looking very well-behaved, that the five masters looked more solemn. However, as soon as they entered the Ming Hall, they found two weakly crowned young men of the same age sitting in the middle seat. The two masters that Cheng Naixuan had seen naturally knew who was the master, and although the other three masters recommended by Xu Guo's colleagues did not know who the future owner was, they didn't know that Cheng Naixuan's close friend was the third master of the current department, the nephew of Wang Shilang of the Ministry of War, who was rumored to be the first assistant of the dynasty.

Although no one can say for sure what happened to that matter.

And Wang Fulin stood up with Cheng Naixuan when everyone stepped into the Ming Hall. In these years, when he became a master, he was generally a talented person, but after all, it was only the main curtain that was different, different from the ordinary upper and lower divisions, so even if he didn't pick the master for himself, he always had to be polite. At this moment, he didn't wait for Cheng Naixuan to introduce himself, so he said with a smile: "Brother Cheng and I have been friends for many years, and he is going to go out of Beijing to guard Anyang this time, so today I borrowed a place for him to meet people." I think you have probably heard of me, I am Wang Fulin, who entered the department in the same year as Brother Cheng. ”

At this moment, even the two masters who only came into contact with Naixuan at the beginning were also clear. So, even those who were inevitably a little unhappy when they saw so many competitors today at the beginning, suddenly thought that if the conversation could be satisfactory, even if Cheng Naixuan didn't need so many people, then it would definitely be a good choice to make Wang Fulin like it. After Wang Fulin introduced himself, Cheng Naixuan only said two polite words, and they had to humble each other and introduce themselves according to their age, and then they sat down one by one.

However, in their opinion, the two masters today are young jinshi, and it is inevitable that they will show off their literary knowledge and poetry in front of them, and they are also ready to flatter a few words, but who knows that as soon as Wang Fulin opened his mouth, they were all taken aback.

"Do you know that in addition to the annual summer tax and autumn grain in Anyang County, Zhangde Prefecture, what other things are there to pay tribute?"

Seeing that the five masters were all stuck all of a sudden, Wang Fulin smiled and said with a relaxed expression: "After all, even if you are the masters who have accumulated years in the past, it is impossible to tell with one mouth what kind of production there is in a place that you have not been to. However, some of you are recommended by the bosses who work with Master Xu, and some of you have been in contact with Brother Cheng before, all of them are quite familiar with the affairs of the county government. And the third class, plus the shopkeepers, the post man, and the forbidden son, how to divide and control? ”
