Zhidou and Xie Xiuniang came to the flower hall in the back hall. ”

The young lady supported each other from afar.

Like an internal force passing, the young lady stood up with the momentum.

Wang Dou glanced at her, today the young lady is wearing a raccoon dog's fur, which makes her elegant and luxurious. is also full of the charm of a young woman, a woman like her who was born in an official eunuch family has been exposed to it since she was a child. The demeanor and demeanor are impeccable, and of course Wang Dou and his wife can't compare with her.

Wang Dou sat down, took a sip of a cup of tea, and said, "The young lady came to the humble house, and it was shining, I don't know what is important?" ”

The young lady showed a sad look on her face and looked at Xie Xiuniang.

Xie Xiuniang smiled at her with relief. On weekdays in the state city, Xie Xiuniang admires the young lady's demeanor, and also intends to learn her demeanor and demeanor, but the demeanor is to be cultivated from a young age, Xie Xiuniang is working hard to learn, but she has not made much progress. Today, the young lady begged to come to the door, and Xie Xiuniang was very willing to help. But of course, you have to get your husband's consent.

She said to Wang Dou, it turned out that the young lady's father-in-law, that is, Zhizhou Li Zhenxuan recently fell eight lifetimes of bad luck, he thinks he is diligent, and the recent governance of the state city is also quite effective, the Ming triennial examination is coming, according to the situation under the rule of the state city, this examination class has to be fished. competent, unexpectedly, news came that the ministry was very likely to be incompetent in his examination this time. The reason for the matter. This matter is related to the new secretary of the ministry, Shangshu Tian Weijia.

In the tenth year of Chongzhen, the Hou of the Ministry of Household Affairs was imprisoned, and Zheng Sanjun, the then secretary of the Ministry of Justice, deliberately gave a light sentence. Chongzhen was furious and sent Zheng Sanjun to prison. The secretary who took over was Tian Weijia, Tian Weijia had a bad relationship with Zheng Sanjun, and after taking office, he took the opportunity to clean up Zheng Sanjun's family. It was also Li Zhenban's bad luck, who was considered by Tian Weijia to be Zheng Sanjun's protégé, and the officials of the Ministry figured out Tian Weijia's intentions. decided to give Li Zhenxuan some eye medicine for this exam.

Li Zhenxuan flew into trouble, he thought left and right. I can only take the opportunity of this pilgrimage to Beijing to go through the doorway.

They are civil officials. Nine years three examinations, every three years in the year of the big plan, must go to Beijing pilgrimage assessment, including the world cloth, according to the two divisions of the hall and Fuzhou County officials must go to Beijing, starting from December 16 of that year, Hongdonkey Temple has been introduced. ”

Xie Xiuniang said: "Husband, Sister Bangyun is already exhausted, and her brother is guarding Mashuikou. In order to make up enough money, he sold all his family property. It's still far from enough, if the husband has this ability,"

"Oh, her brother is a guard at Mashuikou?"

Wang Dou immediately made a decision and said with a smile: "I work with Li Zhizhou's colleagues, Li Zhizhou is diligent and loves the people. Wang has always admired, now that Zhizhou is in difficulty, as a colleague in the state city, how can I, Wang Dou, stand by and watch? Okay, I'll pay for this thousand taels of silver.

The young lady was grateful, and she bowed down: "Thank you, concubine." On the same day, Wang Dou mobilized a thousand taels of silver to Li Zhenxuan, a pound of sixteen taels in the Ming Dynasty, and a thousand taels of silver weighed dozens of pounds.

After receiving the silver, Li Zhenshu invited Wang Dou to the banquet that night, and when he saw Li Zhenxu, Wang Dou saw that he was both grateful and ashamed. Wang Dou did not mention the matter of borrowing silver, but just talked and laughed with Li Zhenxuan, and saw that Wang Dou took care of his own feelings. Li Zhenxuan was even more grateful, and asked about Wang Dou's succession in Beijing, he said: "The lower officials will go to Beijing to make a pilgrimage in the near future, and there are colleagues from various towns of Xuanda, as well as governors, patrols, and officials, why don't you go with the lower officials?" ”

Wang Dou thinks about it, this Hajj assessment, the officials of the three towns of Xuanda are led by the governor Lu Xiangsheng, as well as the governors of the three towns, and there are people from various states and counties, and they can better make friends and understand all kinds of people, etc., and they can meet Lu Xiangsheng and deepen their feelings, which is indeed a good opportunity, and he agreed to come down at the moment.

A few days later, Li Zhenxuan first went to the town to meet with the officials, and Wang Dou brought his personal general Xie Yike. There were also a few guards waiting at the rooster station, and he brought a lot of wealth on this trip, and a horse was carrying a heavy silver tael. In addition to these, Wang Dou also brought his military registration survey, which was the identity certificate of the soldiers of the guard at that time, which could be used as a road guide.

Two days later, in the cold wind, Wang Dou saw the mighty and mighty, and the official sedan chairs of various sizes came one after another.
