It can be seen from this that Wu Jie's status in the emperor's mind.

Jiajing is a deep and extreme person, and when he is kind to you, he holds you up to the sky. Once he hates someone, his subordinates are ruthless and ruthless.

Wu Jie's visit to Nanjing to preside over the examination was naturally a great favor from the emperor.

In order to hide people's eyes, Wu Jie remembered that after the big examination for the selection of examiners, other examiners got the holy decree early and went to the place. He never received the news, but was sent a messenger to revise the "Yongle Canon", thinking that this matter was already yellow. But after the other examiners left the capital, until the day when Wu Jie was asked to leave Beijing immediately, he didn't know that he had won the test, and the post boat was waiting in Tongzhou, and Wu Jie had to go out of Beijing today. Wu Jie didn't have time to clean up, so he hurriedly took his wife, son and Lian Laosan to the south.

"This is the emperor's trick, the truth is true, and when others think that I have lost the election, but suddenly sent to Nanjing, a place like Nanjing, where there is oil and water, the precaution is that there are imperial envoys or other jealous people. I also guard against someone coming to me in advance to talk about Wu Jie, and I can also do joints, and accidentally ruin my reputation. Speaking of which, the old man of the emperor really loves me Wu Jie! ”

Of course, presiding over the court examination is just a trivial matter, and the emperor means that he will make a fortune, which can be regarded as a reward for Wu Jie. As long as he can do that big thing well: urge Hu Zongxian to end the war in the southeast as soon as possible.

This is the key, if it is done well, Wu Jie will naturally be more trusted by the emperor, and even useful. If you do it badly, you will even have to take away all your previous feelings.

Emperor Jiajing was not an easy person to deal with.

Thinking about the powerful relationship in this, Wu Jie was a little nervous in his heart, and he really didn't know much about the army. In my previous life, I watched several military-themed serials in TV dramas, how easy is it to supervise Governor Hu and take on the task of supervising the army in disguise?

Holding the gift list and reading it for a long time, Wu Jie sat in the study for a long time, and after thinking for a long time, even the third child came over to say: "Master." The hour is not early. I heard that the eldest man is going to visit his relatives tonight, I don't know what gifts I need to prepare? ”

"This doesn't have to be too extravagant, just wrap two gifts at will, not too good, just something that can be used daily."

"Yes, sir, Mrs. Moth also said just now, and she was in a hurry when she came. I didn't bring anything out of Beijing, so I chose two of the gifts sent by the gentry just now. ”

Wu nodded: "Moth housekeeper, let her be." I'm going to go over here, and I'm really hungry. ”

Lian Laosan: "Yes, master, I'll go and prepare the carriage and horses." ”

"No, I don't. For a while, I was going to fall apart by boat, anyway, Huang Dong's house is not far from here, so I just walked, Lao Lian, don't go, stay at home and take care of the children. "Nanjing City is the capital of Liu, and the city is full of people from Jinyi Wei and Yingtianfu Yamen, and the law and order is very good. Especially in the inner city, it is the residence of dignitaries. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as not picking up the road and not closing the door at night, but there is nothing to worry about.

"Yes, don't worry, the little boy will definitely serve the little boy well." As soon as Lao San heard Wu Jie mention Qiang'er, a gentle smile appeared on the old man's face. His daughter is not in good health and will most likely not be able to have children in the future. And Lao Lian likes children the most, so he will fall on Wu Jie's son, and when he sees the little boy on weekdays. I couldn't help but laugh.

Since it is a walk to relatives. There is no need for pomp, Wu Jie is still dressed in cloth.

Moth also wore a Matsue cloth shirt. The clothes are all made in Nanjing. However, this kind of clothing is worn by the ladies who have a decree, or the female officials in the palace, and they are generous and decent, and there is no style. It's really compared, it's a bit like the professional wear of later generations, and it has nothing to do with fashion. It looks ordinary, even a little old-fashioned. …,

The moth was carrying a small burden in his hand, about a foot square, which was probably a gift for Wu Jie's cousin.

Wu Jie smiled: "I haven't changed my clothes, why are you so something, isn't it shabby?" ”

Moth: "Anyway, I just went to find a door, so I picked two things that I could use at random, as for clothes." After so many years with the master, I suddenly liked to wear cotton, and as soon as the silk was put on, I felt uncomfortable. ”

Wu Jie and Mozi are both people who talk about food and clothing, and they are not in a hurry at the moment, so they walk slowly on the street, just like an ordinary couple on a tired day, going to the street for a walk and talking.

This feels really good, this is the real taste of life!

The address of Huang Dong's house was also found out by Mozi later with his previous memories, and it was only three streets away from where Wu Jie was staying, and it was only half an hour's walk away.

This is the bustling inner city, where the afterglow of the setting sun stains the world red, and the streets are filled with people, cars and horses.

At this time, someone shouted loudly behind him: "Wu Jie, Wu Jie, hey, it's really you." ”

Wu Jie and Mozi looked back and saw a scholar in his twenties standing behind them.

This person is also an ordinary scholar, he looks very ordinary, and judging by his clothes, he is a medium family.

How can Wu Jie remember who he is, Eun En responded.

The scholar smiled and arched his hand casually, without any respect: "You really forgot, just that year, you and I were only eleven or twelve years old, in the school...... I read books together for two months, hey, I'm Fu Yang, I heard Huang Dong say that you went back to Nanjing, and sure enough, you bumped into it.

Wu Jie arched his hand: "It turned out to be Brother Fu, I'm sorry, it's been too long, I really don't remember, you also went to Brother Huang's house?" ”

"Naturally, yes." Fu Yang said with a smile: "Isn't there still a few days left to take the Tianfu Academy exam, and our classmates who studied together in the past are interested in participating in this year's imperial examination." But this college exam is not said to be successful, our more than a dozen classmates have been taking the exam for all these years, and they can't even pass one. Getting together today, in addition to having a literary meeting, more importantly, Brother Huang Dong's father just went to visit this year's chief examiner, Master Master, and said that he had a joint. Everyone and classmates naturally have to support each other and occupy this point of light together. ”

"I have joints, isn't it, the great masters are all officials sent from abroad in the capital, and the imperial examination has a lot to do with it, how can they communicate with the local government?" Wu Jie was ignorant, he didn't remember when he had met Huang Dong's father, he didn't even know how old his father was, whether he was a human or a ghost, and how did he get involved with him?

"Shhhhhhhh Fu Yang smiled: "Wu Jie, you won't take the test anyway." As he spoke, he pointed to his head: "Wu Jie, how is your brain now, are you still a little confused?" ”

Moth was furious when he heard this, and was about to reprimand, when a carriage drove arrogantly, and in front of Wu Jie, he saw Huang Dong get down from the carriage.
