Here's the thing. The woman in the car is named Shen Yixiu, a native of Wujiang, Jiangsu, and is Shen Zijin's younger sister. Shen Yixiu is 16 years old today, and Shen's father's name is Shen Liu, and he is a political governor under the political envoy of Zhejiang. His uncle's name is Shen Jing, and he is a poet and composer. Shen Yixiu was born in a scholarly family, has been well-read since childhood, and is a well-known beautiful and talented woman in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the matchmaker is about to break through the threshold, but she has not yet found a suitable in-law. After Wang Ku heard about the fame of the beautiful and talented woman in Suzhou and Hangzhou, he asked his father Wang Bai to send someone to propose marriage. Wang Bai also felt that although Shen Liu's official position was lower than his own, he also heard that Shen Yixiu was knowledgeable, so he sent someone to inquire about the news.

And Zhang Juzheng's father and Shen Liu had a friendship with each other, and the two families had many contacts after they formed a family. Although Zhang Juzheng is only thirteen years old this year, he has already passed the township test. His father intended to cultivate Zhang Juzheng well, so he let him travel and took him to Suzhou to visit his uncle of the Shen family.

Zhang Juzheng was born at the right time, and when he traveled to Hangzhou, he heard that Wang Ku was a very bad person and was not a person who could be entrusted with his life. So when he heard that Wang Bai sent someone to the Shen family to inquire and intended to come to the Shen family to propose marriage, he told Shen Liu that Wang Ku was corrupt and was not a person who could be entrusted for life. Shen Liu doted on his daughter, and after inquiring about Wang Ku's character, he revealed to the person sent by Wang Bai, saying that he didn't plan to marry his daughter, and then the matter was put aside.

And then later. Shen Zijin also has a younger brother named Shen Zizheng. This Shen Zizheng has liked poetry and music since he was a child, and Shen Liu's younger brother Shen Jing is a poet and music master, and he is an official in Ningbo Mansion, so Shen Liu asked Shen Zijin to send his younger brother to live with his uncle for a few days. The Shen family has a deep love for brothers and sisters, so Shen Yixiu also followed his brother Shen Zijin to Ningbo Mansion. And Zhang Juzheng was already on a study tour, so he also came to Ningbo Mansion with him.

If you take the land route from Wujiang Mansion to Ningbo Mansion, you have to pass through Hangzhou Mansion, and by sea you can get on the boat from Jiaxing Mansion to Ningbo Mansion directly. Therefore, in order to avoid Wang Ku, his father Shen Liu specially asked them to take the sea route from Jiaxing Mansion to Ningbo Mansion.

Today, after Shen Zijin sent off his younger brother Shen Zizheng, he was going to take his sister Shen Yi back the same way. And Zhang Juzheng also wanted to continue his study tour, so he went out together. I don't want that Wang Ku to come to Ningbo Mansion without knowing what's wrong, but on the way back, he blocked the way at the city gate.

After explaining the situation, Shen Zijin said to Wu Tianxiao: "Today's incident has nothing to do with Brother Tianxiao, but it has affected Brother Tianxiao. It's really gratifying. ”

Wu Tianxiao laughed: "Where is this?" I am most unaccustomed to people like Wang Ku, and today the road is uneven, and it is inevitable to help each other. It's just that I started a little heavier just now, and I'm afraid that Wang Ku will seek revenge. After Brother Zijin goes back, I will inform your father of this matter, and it is better to prepare early. ”

Shen Zijin looked a little nerdy: "It was he who was cool and rude first, and he was not afraid of him even if he went to the court in this matter." ”

At this time, Shen Yixiu also got out of the carriage, came to Wu Tianxiao, and blessed him: "Thank you Brother Wu for saving me today, please accept the little girl Yixiu." As he spoke, he gave Wu Tianxiao a slight blessing.

Wu Tianxiao didn't know any rules, but he was a little at a loss when he was worshiped by this beauty, and he smirked with one hand around his head: "This...... Hehe...... It should be, it should be. ”

Shen Yixiu didn't blame him for not knowing etiquette when he saw him like this, but he pursed his lips and snickered.

That Zhang Juzheng also said to Wu Tianxiao: "Thank you Brother Wu for saving me today, Bai Gui is here to thank you." ”

Zhang Juzheng, Wu Tianxiao, knew it, and he appreciated this person in his heart. It's just that Zhang Juzheng is only thirteen years old now, and although he has already shown extraordinary talent, he is still young after all. Wu Tianxiao glanced at Zhang Juzheng deeply, and said casually: "Zhang Juzheng? Hehe. In the future, it must be a talent of Zaifu. ”

Zhang Juzheng didn't know why Wu Tianxiao was so optimistic about himself, but he was modest: "Brother Wu praised it falsely." ”

Wu Tianxiao laughed: "Yes." Definitely. You're amazing. Then he noticed that he was a little out of shape, so he snorted: "Hehe." You are already a talent at such a young age, and you also participated in the township examination. There will be great achievements in the future. ”

Shen Zijin also praised Zhang Juzheng at this time: "Bai Gui is indeed a rare talent, and my father often praises Bai Gui. The few of them chatted like this for a while. Wu Tianxiao asked Tan Lun to bring the homemade bone-setting ointment from Tamsui City, and asked a few people to bring it, and roast it with fire before going to bed at night and then apply it to heal the wounds.

After resting for a while, everyone was going to Dinghai Wharf again, but at this time, Zhang Juzheng came to say goodbye: "Brother Shen, Sister Shen, Brother Wu, and the younger brother are going to Taizhou Mansion, so I will leave." ”

Shen Zijin also saluted: "Brother Zhang Xian, be careful on the road." Wu Tianxiao and Shen Yixiu also resigned with him.

Then Zhang Juzheng took his servants to Taizhou by another road. The Shen family also got into the carriage, and Wu Tianxiao and others also rode to Dinghai Wharf together.

Shen Nanshan saw that Wu Tianxiao praised Zhang Juzheng many times, and couldn't help but ask a few more words on the way: "City Lord." Is that Zhang Juzheng really that powerful? It deserves such praise from the city lord. ”

Wu Tianxiao looked at the carriage of the Shen family, which was not very far away, and said to Shen Nanshan: "I chatted with Brother Shen just now, and I know that this Zhang Juzheng was a talent at the age of twelve, but today he is only thirteen years old but has already participated in the township test. This is a prodigy, as long as he has more experience, he will definitely be a great talent in the future. It's a pity. Now Freshwater City needs such people to govern. Alas. I met by chance today, and I don't know if I will meet again in the future. ”

Tan Lun said at this time: "Since the city lord takes such a fancy to this person, why don't you spend a lot of money to hire him to work for the city lord?" ”

Wu Tianxiao smiled bitterly: "Our Tamsui City is outside the Ming Dynasty, and it is a barbaric land for those talented children. Only the children of the poor family who have landed will follow us for some silver. A talented person like Zhang Juzheng disdains to follow us for the sake of silver. ”

Although Wu Tianxiao said this, it was just a pity that the meaning was beyond his words. Shen Nanshan beside him was originally a pirate, but he didn't think too much, only thinking about how to gain Wu Tianxiao's trust. In Shen Nanshan's heart, he has his own set of rules for doing things.

The group walked a few more miles. Shen Nanshan suddenly had a stomach upset and said that he wanted to go for convenience. Wu Tianxiao asked him to follow, don't delay the time to get on the boat and return to Zhoushan.

When everyone arrived at Dinghai Wharf, Shen Zijin said goodbye to Wu Tianxiao and got on the sea boat he hired and left. Wu Tianxiao watched Shen Yixiu get on the boat, and felt more sad in his heart for no reason. After all, he is still a young man, and his immunity to beautiful women is not high.
