Chapter Seventy-One: The Official Makes a Wish
The manservant at the door also seemed to feel that he had said the wrong thing, he didn't dare to squeak, and quietly retreated outside, the obedient official saw it, quickly got up, and went up to pay homage, Wang Jue's face was a little better, anyway, he was still quite satisfied with this aunt and nephew, polite and courteous, understanding the rules, knowing respect and humility, seeing that the future was also promising, but willing to give his aunt and nephew a little face, the key is Zheng Liancheng, this guy, too shameless, until now, the old god is sitting at the top, you are a Li Shu, don't you just rely on the ability to give birth to a son, If I hadn't given my aunt and nephew face, I would have gone up to the boss and shaved you.
Of course, we can basically be sure that Wang Jue Wang Ziyu is only ruthless in his heart, you know, Zheng Liancheng has also seen the barbarian sweat, crawled over the pile of dead people, stained with Tartar blood, and later practiced the spitting technique with Shan Chixia for more than ten years, even if he is sick and crooked now, it is not something that two or three idle men can get close to, not to mention Wang Jue, a scholar who can't lift his shoulders and can't bear it.
"Uncle, please come to the table, it's all nephews, I actually forgot that Xiao Nian invited my uncle to come to the house together, it really should be beaten." As he spoke, he deliberately turned his head to the fourth cousin and the fifth cousin on the table and said, "Ruoyi, Ruochang, remember, my cousin made a mistake today, write down ten brains, and if you make a mistake again next time, you two will be responsible for fighting." ”
Ruo Yiruo often stood up and said in unison: "Cousin, what is a brain melon collapse? ”
"It's Jiangnan commonly known as Mao Chestnut." The obedient official explained in a different way, Ruoyi and Ruochang nodded at this time, turned their heads and asked their mothers, "Mother, can Ruoyi (Ruochang) play my cousin's hairy chestnuts?" ”
Ai Meiniang's face was a little pale, her husband suddenly came to the door, she sat next to her brother-in-law again, feeling as if she had been caught and annihilated, and her heart was like a bucket of water, she smiled reluctantly, and said: "Nonsense, your cousin's brain can be beaten casually, how is it good to be stupid, and he also pointed to him to be admitted to the Jinshi to be a pavilion elder in the future!" ”
When the obedient official heard it, it was this set of rhetoric, and the Ming people praised the scholars who seemed to have this tone, helpless, coughed, and hurriedly said: "My aunt and aunt have been treated well as good officials since childhood, and if the good officials really enter the cabinet, let my uncle let my uncle serve as a county commander first, aunt, what do you think of our Daxing County?" ”
You know, in Daming, it is a university to have a good relationship with relatives and clansmen, if you become a county magistrate, the relatives of the family know about it, and come to defect, you have to spend silver to raise it, otherwise it is a big crime, and you will lose before the emperor.
Therefore, Chen Jiru and Dong Qichang secretly admire, this is also a skill! I really don't know how he understands so much at such a young age, maybe he can only use [Born to Know] as a footnote.
Although Ai Meiniang knew that her aunt and nephew were afraid that she would comfort herself and make herself happy, she still laughed and deliberately said: "This child, just make your aunt happy, but ...... If your mother were here, she would have wept with joy when she saw you so good. As she spoke, she took the champa from her waist and wiped it under her eyes.
Wang Jue is also churning in his heart, full of thoughts about being an official, although as the saying goes, the evil is full of Ying, attached to Guo Jingcheng, but if there is really a position in the county order of Jingxian County for those jinshi, keep one by one to run faster than a rabbit, you know, the county order of Jingxian County, from the six products! In other words, Daxing County is a county with a more prosperous literary style in the north, and the number of scholars in a county is a very important criterion for assessing the merits of the county order.
Therefore, most of the officials, like to go to a county with a flourishing style of literature to be the county master, although there are more readers, it is possible to meet the broken boots of the readers, but the benefits are more obvious, even if every day in the backyard of the county government and Mrs. Ru kiss the mouth of the drink, do nothing, a year down, the assessment is at least a middle and upper, for officials, that is a business without profits!
And the teacher of the obedient official, Shen Bang, Shen Dunyu, is not the county of Daxing, his teacher is so famous, if he is lucky, it is also possible to enter the cabinet, and when the time comes, a person will ascend to heaven, if he really likes the disciple of the obedient official, the obedient official will ask for it, and he will not dare to think about the county of a county immediately, like the deputy of the Ningbo Bo Lifting Division Hou Xiaobai, layer by layer of activities, first move a person, and then move a big pick, from the big pick and then move a Zuo Er, before the age of fifty-five, maybe you can also taste the taste of being a county master, one party is in charge! Even my Lao Tzu has never been so developed.
He thought about it for a while, and even the way for him to be promoted and make a fortune was paved step by step, as if the county order was immediately in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, and it became more and more pleasing to the eye when he looked at the good official.
The number of developed roads of Hou Xiaobai is unknown to everyone in Ningbo, but the emperor is far away, and there is a political envoy from Zhejiang behind the people, so fools go to find trouble by themselves! What's more, officialdom practices are not concealed.
At this time, Daddy Zheng spoke, Ai Mei Niang sat on his left, and Shan Chixia sat in a position across his right hand, although Shan Chixia thought she was a housekeeper, but up and down the house, who dared to treat him as an ordinary housekeeper, even if Ai Mei Niang knew him more than ten years ago, and she wanted to be called the old brother of the Shan family. And Shan Chixia also knows that he can't manage the house, although he knows the principle of grace and power, but how to show grace to the servants in the family, he really can't learn, so he has to use a word of prestige, where does prestige come from, naturally he is borrowing the situation, sitting next to the master, is there anything more borrowing than this.
The Zheng family went to Ningbo, full of calculations, and it has been three months, Zheng Dad has lived a comfortable life, nothing to worry about, and the recuperation is good, the disease is really much better, although it is not very good, but a few days ago, I invited Ningbo's famous doctor Deng Bojian Deng Chongjing to come and see, the Deng Shen Doctor who was dressed in a Taoist robe touched his beard at that time and said that your family is very good at recuperation, I will prescribe medicine for half a year, if this half a year is still like this, it must be very good, in addition, don't worry too much about not being able to contact people, be careful, pay attention to the separation of tea and water, It's okay.
Seeing the end of the year, the family is steaming, and the master's illness is getting better, and Shan Chixia was so happy at that time! Dengshi gave the Deng Shen Doctor two big silver cakes and ten taels of silver as a thank you gift, this Deng Shen Doctor was also strange, and said with Shan Chixia, I heard that Mr. Chixia is the descendant of Wudang Songxi, although the poor Dao is practicing medicine in the world, but it is also a Wudang lineage, and it is the descendant of the Longmen faction, how to collect your silver.
Shan Chixia was stunned for a while, and actually met the same door, asked the teacher's name and lineage, and sure enough, it was a senior brother, the two of them ordered each other, Shan Chixia called himself a senior brother, and said that although this is from the Wudang Longmen faction, but also has a deep relationship with our Songxi faction, how can it not give silver, so he added forty taels, and made up a full fifty taels of silver, originally thought that this Deng Bojian Deng senior brother wanted to be humble, but people smiled and accepted it, and on the spot Shan Chixia held it in his chest, and said that the feelings were just too little silver.
Fifty taels, you can buy ten maids with a deed of sale, this is really not a small amount of money, Shan Chixia's face was ...... at that time Fortunately, Dr. Deng didn't take his money for nothing, saying that I would come to your family every half a month to use gold needles to puncture the acupoints, and after February next year, it must be very good.
At that time, Shan Chixia couldn't cry or laugh, but people also showed their real skills, so they had to send this senior brother of the Wudang faction out with a smile.
Therefore, Daddy Zheng dared to put on a big banquet on the twenty-third day, although he refused to let the good official and the seven aunts and nieces sit over, but it was also in a house, compared to the previous years when he trapped himself in a small black room on the upper floor of the small wooden building, that is really the difference between heaven and earth, happiness is to be compared, Daddy Zheng feels that he is very happy, of course, my son will definitely be more and more prosperous in the future, and I will be happier.
He saw that Wang Jue's face had improved, so he snorted and asked Wang Jue to come and sit, Wang Jue is not brainless, there is no need not to give himself this big face at this time, so he sat down and sat on his right hand, but it still looks strange to sit like this, because his wife, Daddy Zheng's sister-in-law, and Daddy Zheng are separated from him, it still looks like the same sentence, he looks like an outsider, and the one next to him is like a family.
However, Feng Guan's wish overwhelmed his brain, and he couldn't care about it for a while, he poured himself a glass of wine, raised his glass to Zheng Liancheng, and said, "Big brother, please drink." Zheng Liancheng coughed dryly and said, "I'm not in good health, so I'll accompany you for a cup of tea!" ”
The two of them drank wine and tea, and they looked a little bit like happy relatives, but when Ai Mei Niang looked at her husband's appearance, a little strange look appeared on her pretty face.
Wang Jue poured another glass of wine for herself, and then said to Ai Mei Niang: "Come, Mei Niang, you and I will respect the eldest brother with a glass, and congratulate him on giving birth to such a good son." ”
Ai Mei Niang was helpless, she stood up, poured herself a shallow cup, and then raised her glass to Zheng Liancheng, "Brother-in-law......" Wang Jue also raised the cup, and the two drank it all at the same time, and Father Zheng also took a sip of tea, and then saw his wife and sister coughing, choking on the originally white cheeks into dark purple.
"You haven't been good at drinking since you were a child, don't eat it." Zheng Liancheng frowned, then reached out and took off the wine glass in front of Ai Mei Niang, and clasped it in front of him with his backhand, Ai Mei Niang stretched out her fingers to cover her mouth, and secretly glanced at her husband, followed by a cough, Wang Jue didn't say much, poured a glass by himself, took it up and said: "Big brother, good wine world, let's make up three talents." ”
