Master Ke was telling his wife about the process of receiving the order back then, and he was coldly surprised by his son's words, "Father, mother, Sister Peiwei is not dead yet!" It scared a lot.

Madame Ke was equally taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Is there such a thing?" Where is that man now?"

"How is that possible! Peiwei is not dead?" Master Ke is still digesting this amazing news.

Ke Wendeng explained with a complicated expression: "I was saved by Pei Nianbo."

"He saved it!" Master Ke suddenly had a score in his heart, and suddenly glanced at his wife.

At this time, Ke Wendeng gradually became dissatisfied, and shouted: "Uncle Pei is really, why did he save Peiwei but hide it, and invited Uncle Shen to be a matchmaker?" How can we agree without asking? Also, because the child was forced to marry in front of Uncle Pei again, he had to write a secret on the spot, just to be worthy of Pei Wei. Unexpectedly, Pei Wei was still in the world. Dad, what do you think I should do?"

After his friend saved someone, he deliberately invited Lao Shen to come to the door to propose marriage, this Master Ke is not difficult to understand, if he will also play Shen Jiamo like this, then a good girl can also be killed.

But what happened to his son later, Master Ke didn't know at all, and hurriedly inquired about the whole story in detail.

Ke Wendeng answered all questions, and handed Shen Kan's letter of happiness to his father, Master Ke read it, and then laughed and said: "Sure enough, Peiwei is not dead, it is really a great joy!" Lao Pei, Lao Pei, you are not only complaining about Lao Shen, but also me. Alas, I was really wrong about Pei Wei, which is why you treated Wenden like this. ”

Mrs. Ke was also overjoyed when she heard this, and she was extremely grateful to Pei Zhixian, and shouted: "Master, since Pei Wei is in Pei Mansion, Master Pei is no better than my brother-in-law, anyway, he also came out for Pei Wei in this tone, why don't you fulfill this marriage for our idiot?" It's not in vain what happened to the two children. ”

The husband shook his head and said with a wry smile: "How can it be so easy, I'm afraid this matter will take a lot of trouble."

"A beautiful thing, where did it come from?" Mrs. Ke was puzzled.

Master Ke sighed: "Madame doesn't know, our son vowed not to marry again that day, and he deliberately asked his brother-in-law to come to the matchmaker, although it was to vent his anger, but he also clearly pointed out the strangeness!" It's a pity that we didn't see it and didn't agree. Then he deliberately proposed marriage in person, but our son was obsessed with Pei Wei, still confused, and wrote the note by hand. Think about Brother Pei Nian, he had good intentions, but he was rejected by my father and son repeatedly, how can you not be annoyed? Today, this matter has come to light, and Peiwei lives in his house, what does my father and son mean to beg for others again?"

"What then?" Ke Wenden regretted not being at the beginning, and the whole person wilted.

Mrs. Ke said: "That being said, sir, in order to fulfill his son, why not lose face?"

"Madame, don't worry." Master Ke looked at his sad son and sighed lightly, "Don't fight my old face, just wait for me to ask him for marriage in person, it depends on the fate of the idiot." ”

"The master personally went out, and nothing can be done." Madame Ke smiled.

Master Ke, who had made up his mind to make compromises, no longer cared about face, and said with a smile: "Don't flatter, let's talk about it when it's stable."

Mrs. Ke said: "Without further ado, I will go to receive the holy decree early tomorrow morning, and after the incident, the master must go to Pei's mansion."

"This is natural." Master Ke said again, "Peiwei's child is safe, Mrs. should secretly order someone to send a letter to the eldest sister, so that she can rest assured, remember not to leak the news, and be known by the brother-in-law and the slut." ”

"I know this, don't worry, sir." Mrs. Ke nodded.

The next day, it took most of the day to meet the holy decree, and it is said that with the addition of soldiers and officials, there are really more than 10,000 people.

The government built a colorful building on the dock overnight, and when the eunuchs came out of the boat, tens of thousands of people knelt down and bowed to the holy decree in the dark.

Welcoming the holy decree into the city, the big guy rushed to the yamen first, waiting for the accompanying officials of the Ministry of Rites to sing, and had to kneel and bow again, no way, this is the supreme imperial power.

Fortunately, this is the happy edict of Emperor Jiajing to the world, winning the protracted battle of etiquette, and his parents are respected as the first emperor and empress, presumably most people at that time were also willing to kneel.

The general idea of the holy decree is to celebrate the whole world, such as exempting the arrears of food accumulated in various places, the officials who stand on the emperor's side are promoted and knighted, and the prisoners are commuted to be punished lightly, and there is a meaning of amnesty to the world, which is reasonable anyway.

In addition, he ordered all localities to protect the virtuous and virtuous in the world, and there is a bit of an article here, probably because Emperor Jiajing was very dissatisfied with some officials and wanted them to make room. But this is an article on the table, and everyone knows it, but no one can say it.

In short, so many holy graces are rare after all, after the big guy thanked the grace, that night the chief secretary ordered the craftsman to write out the will, and then stereotyped printing, put on the decoration with dragon patterns, on the one hand to the provinces, prefectures, counties, on the other hand to all levels of colleges and meritorious people, and as usual outside the yamen, four gates.

Speaking of Wuxing County alone, after the edict was issued, Zhou Xuezheng and Instructor Chen bathed first, and then read aloud in Minglun Hall, and read an article about county learning, "There are virtuous and upright people in the government, prefecture, and county, and they will check the truth and send it to the ministry for promotion." ”

Zhou Xuezheng said to his deputy: "This is a matter within the school, we have to be cautious, otherwise the matter is very important."

"That's what my lord said." Instructor Chen echoed, "This matter is really difficult to handle. That year, the above text was issued to ensure the promotion of excellent students, and we reported three in the school at that time. Among them, Tan Juren didn't say anything, and then the people were lifted, but the two eugenics, some people said gossip about taking care of the big clan. ”

"Who is it?" Zhou Xuezheng asked.

Instructor Chen glanced at him and said, "A descendant of the Wang family, a Shen Shi of the Shen family."

"Oh." Zhou Xuezheng nodded lightly, "Fortunately, Shen Shi's age is still young, so we don't have to be embarrassed this time." Since Tan Juren is indeed serving the public, it seems that this time he is still afraid of this public. ”

Instructor Chen smiled: "He is a noble person, we can't control him, and adults don't have to worry."

Zhou Xuezheng said with a smile: "Recommending good talents is the duty of learning, let alone learning or not." By the way, Brother Chen also said last night that he would give him a plaque, so let's discuss it now. ”

"yes, I was about to say that." Instructor Chen pointed outside, "There is a plaque in the library, for some reason, it didn't hang it out, anyway, it was put away, please think of four words, wouldn't it save money and trouble?"

"That's good." Zhou Xuezheng was very satisfied with his idea.

Dare to love this is Li Charen's idea, he has been an errand boy in the county for 30 years, he can speak very shrewdly, and most of the successive Xuezheng rely on him, who knows that he was scolded by Zhou Xuezheng yesterday, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

The problem is that he can't let go of Tan Ju's rich reward, so he gave Instructor Chen an idea last night, if he paints the plaque that has been idle for many years and engraves the four words that Zhou Xue is learning, why don't you worry that Tan Juren is not grateful?

The county school has always been regarded as the Qingshui Yamen, and it is one of the few sources of wealth to set up a chastity monument and send a filial piety plaque.

Instructor Chen is also worried about his own benefits, today's words are all the words of Li Charen last night, where does Zhou Xuezheng, who has just arrived, know?

As soon as Li Charen, who was standing below, heard what the adult said, he immediately called someone to carry the idle plaque to Minglun Hall, and also recruited a gold colorsmith to explain the salary in person, just waiting for Zhou Xuezheng to come up with four words.

Although Zhou Xuezheng hated him as a person, he also appreciated his quick and thoughtful work, looked at the high quality of the plaque, nodded and said, "It's good, this plaque is not stingy."

Instructor Chen smiled: "Just wait for the adults to think of four words."

Zhou Xuezheng also smiled: "Brother Chen is experienced, what you plan must be good."

"Xiaguan is ancient, and he can't get anything at this time." Instructor Chen grinned, "Your Excellency, come on." ”

"Old Chen, you are too humble."

Zhou Xuezheng laughed, itching for a while, and thought about it at the moment, "There is!" I'm afraid that my four words may not be able to complete the beauty of Brother Tan. The four words 'Pinzhuo Xingfang', what does Old Chen think?"

"Good! Good! It's worthy of Hanlin. Instructor Chen stretched out his thumb and instructed Li to send people: "Quickly take the post and invite Mr. Yunnong to come." My lord, this Chang Yunnong writes a good handwriting, and he has always been asked to write for him. ”

Zhou Xuezheng, who was still unsatisfied, simply smiled: "That's it! Brother, just write nonsense. ”

"Oops! That's a good idea. Instructor Chen showed a look of envy, "It's best if the adults are willing to write it, not only does the face of the person receiving the plaque have a glow, but it also saves us from asking for people every time." Hurry up, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are waiting!"
