"Why go?" Wu Jie frowned, just now Huang Dong thought he was the fool Wu Jie before, his demeanor was frivolous, and there was a lot of teasing in his words. It's just a classmate, and he has a self-respecting identity, so it's not good to have a seizure.

For this kind of person, if you don't have contact, you won't have contact, where is there any reason to come to the door in person and find yourself unhappy?

There are still five days before the Tianfu Academy examination, and after two days of rest, the day after tomorrow should be lit up Makua Street, so that the people and scholars can have a glimpse of the demeanor of the future exam.

During this period, I had to have a drink with Lu Fatzi and meet with local officials. Before coming, Wu Jie sent a letter to Lu Chang through the post station early, saying that he was coming to Nanjing, but did not say a specific date. I haven't seen this dead fat man for more than a year, and I still miss him. There is also Lu Shuang, thinking of the female devil, Wu Jie is a little big.

In addition to these, after Liangmakua Street, I had to discuss with the local gentry in Nanjing. Well, the discussion should be a modern term, according to the Ming Dynasty, it was the local gentry who came to meet with the big examiner, please eat.

All of this has already been discussed when I met with Lord Wang Wu Wang this morning, and the schedule is full, where can I still have the leisure to go to Huang Dong to say something that is not salty or light, and make myself unhappy?

The moth pursed his mouth, rolled his eyes, and seemed to be smiling: "Master, don't you want to meet your charming cousin who has a long relationship with children?" ”

Moth joked about Wu Jie, and his expression was really a little similar to Tang Mi's. The so-called close to Zhu is red, close to ink is black, these two women used to meet once every three or two days when they were in the capital, and they got along well, and it is estimated that Moth was also influenced by her.

Wu Jie was furious: "What a thousand charms, what are you talking nonsense." Looking at my cousin who suddenly came out, it seems that she is not in good health, dark and thin, and she is probably a poor person. It's the first time I've seen it today, and I didn't know anything like this before. ”

"Really. It's the first time we've met today, haven't I seen Youlian? ”

"Poor ghost, I have such a good wife as you, how can other women look at it. Besides, my cousin is also married. Wu Jie reached out and took out the moth and touched her belly: "Woman, it's better to be fatter." ”

The moth cried, "It's fat, it's not good-looking." Other. My son is watching! ”

Fortunately, there was no one nearby, and I was not afraid of embarrassment.

The two smiled again, and then they stopped making trouble.

Moth suddenly said: "Master, I see that you really went to Huang Dong's house today." ”

Wu Jie: "I really don't want to go, it's not interesting to go." But he knew that although the moth had a much more gentle temperament this year. But he was a strong man. And because he takes himself very seriously, he doesn't like Wu Festival the most, and he goes in and out of Fengyue places. As soon as he saw Wu Jie talking to other women, he was a little unhappy.

Wu Jie is also very conscious on weekdays, and never goes to that kind of place to socialize.

Of course, for Miss Tang, Moth has a different attitude, very respectful. Mainly because Tang Mi is Wu Jie's wife, and her name is there. Moreover, Miss Tang is also very good.

Moth suddenly sighed: "Master." That Huang Zhou is the only relative of your mother's uncle's family in the world! ”

Wu Jie immediately understood that the ancients, especially the ancient scholars, paid the most attention to blood kinship. If your relatives come to your door because of something, if you ignore it, even if you are a high-ranking person, you will be despised by the world. This involves feudal etiquette, and it is not allowed to be sloppy.

Moth said again: "Master, you were shouted by that Huangdong fool just now, and I guess I was angry, and I didn't pay attention to it, but the concubine was next to me and saw it really well." Although Huang Zhou verbally said that you should not go over at night. But his eyes were full of pleading. It's as if there's something to do. ”

"Something?" Wu Jie was stunned, but he couldn't remember the look on his cousin's face when he spoke just now. She should be a very honest and responsible woman, and everyone usually keeps her head down. …,

Moth sighed: "Master, you are in a high position, and your brain was confused when you were in the people before, but you don't know much about the world, and you can't even see this." Your cousin is probably almost twenty, an ordinary woman, at this age, she has given birth to a large number of children, but she has not given birth to a boy and a girl.

In the past, when the old lady was alive, there was the face of the Wu family, and the Huang family would definitely not say anything, and they didn't dare to do anything. But now that the old lady has passed away for five years, it is thought that the Huang Zhou family naturally has no status in the Huang family. If you don't get it right, you may be kicked out of the door. Master, you are the only relative of Huang Zhou's mother's family, and only you can make decisions for her! ”

After analyzing the matter thoroughly, Mozi said: "Of course, this is just a concubine's speculation, if it is not true, it is naturally best to be good." If this is indeed the case, the cousin of the dignified Hanlin Academy was kicked out of the house by her husband's family and spread out, where is the face of the master? ”

"Besides, how can our Wu family's relatives be bullied?"

Wu Jie frowned and thought for a while: "It's really like what you said, otherwise, let's go to this meeting in the evening, Moth, you have seen my cousin, by the way, to see what the truth of the matter is." If it is not like this, it is naturally the best, if it is true, the Huang family is reggented, and naturally they have to ask them for justice. ”

Wu Jie's current memory still has the voice and smile of the mother in this world, and when I think about it, my heart is still warm. Mother's family is such a relative, so she naturally wants to recognize it.

Moreover, as the chief examiner of this subject, he also felt the need to meet with his former classmates and inquire about the situation of the candidates in Tianfu.

Wu Jie's classmates are in their early twenties like him, and based on their age, they should not have any fame. Judging from the clothes on Huang Dong's body just now, he didn't wear a Xiucailan shirt. The family banquet of a scholar who has no merit and fame must not be famous, and these people are about to participate in the current college examination. Talking to them is also a good opportunity to understand local public opinion.

From this point of view, I really can't reveal my identity tonight, so as not to let the officials know that the last bullet impeached me Wu Jie made friends with the candidates during his tenure as the chief examiner, and there was a suspicion of interconnection.

Besides, this is a visit to relatives, who are you putting on an official show for, this is not in line with Wu Jie's morality and behavioral habits.

When I returned to the residence, I saw Lian Laosan coming over with a bunch of gift lists, saying that the local gentry came to visit, and because the old man was not there, he put down the gift and said goodbye.

Wu Jie took the gift sheet and looked at it, he was taken aback, good guy, he was so generous, what strange and strange things, treasures and antiques, and some people sent money tickets directly.

This is the beginning, there will be a banquet to discuss with the squires in a few days, and it will inevitably be collected at that time.

After the exam, the admitted talents will also apprentice and thank their teachers. This trip down, it is estimated that tens of thousands of taels can be seen.

These incomes are legitimate, and the rules of the Ming Dynasty are like this, so you can rest assured that you can collect them.

Only then did Wu Jie remember that before he took the exam, Jiajing had said to him that he would send himself a beautiful errand.

I felt some emotion in my heart: This addict emperor who takes medicine all year round is really good to me!
