Chapter 153: Xiaozhi County (I)

"Wang Ju, this is everyone's congratulatory gift." Li Yuanwai said.

The title of the gold list should be celebrated in his hometown.

Wang Ju is a special case, his family only has one real elder, the second uncle, who is far away in Hangzhou. There is a mother, a member of the Jiang family.

Therefore, after the news of his high school reached Yanzhou, the Li family hosted a banquet for relatives and friends in the city.

Wang Ju looked at the gift list and said, "Grandfather, they are all relatives and friends of your family, if my grandfather accepts it, he will accept it, but if it is handed over to me, I will not accept it." I am an official, and this kind of gift is also a bribe. ”

Corruption, bribery, embezzlement of public funds, embezzlement of duties, misappropriation of state property, deception of public and private property, etc., are not as famous as those of later generations.

Corruption and bribery are the most basic reputation, and there are some small gray coffers.

In addition, it is this gift, four o'clock and eight festivals, birthday and funeral, a banquet, the subordinate squires have to give gifts, which is actually a kind of bribery in disguise.

Strictly speaking, official business should also be defined as a private crime, but many officials are playing, and Wang Ju is also not excluded, but he will not be as clumsy as some officials, trafficking in human beings, forcing soldiers to be free subordinate cargo merchants, openly trading large quantities, usury, and so on.

His business is to be placed in the dark, second, to avoid gray areas as much as possible, third, not to advocate tax evasion, and fourth, not to oppress the people and craftsmen, this is Wang Ju's bottom line.

However, this kind of gift violates his bottom line.

Li Yuanwai had no choice but to return the gift.

However, the matter is not over, if it is placed in Fujian or Hangzhou, a Jinshi is the same thing, but in Yanzhou, it is a living treasure, Wang Juzhong Jinshi news came, almost the entire Yanzhou sensation.

Besides, the test is not bad, the provincial examination is the third, the palace examination is a little worse, and it is also the eighth and the second in front.

Therefore, as soon as Wang Ju came back, the officials of Yanzhou also cheered afterwards, including Cheng Kan, and even the generals of the new capital of Yanyan Road, as well as Han Zeshun, the great eunuch of Yanlu and Han Zeshun, all brought congratulatory gifts to celebrate.

Wang Ju is helpless, and there is still a kind of man, and he is also full of curiosity about this god-killing Wang Ju. So Wang Ju had no choice but to set up another banquet, and let the Zhu family and the Li family entertain on their behalf, but there was no one at home, so he had to let the two families help each other.

Then he returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors and celebrated in Wangjiazhai, Wang Ju returned to Yanzhou again and finally saw a person.

His long-lost mother came to Yanzhou.

This mother, Wang Ju has never lived together for a day, so there is nothing to talk about love and hate, but the second girl is crying non-stop, and the crown prince is putting on a face.

Fortunately, the people of the Jiang family didn't come, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing, and they would probably be embarrassed to come.

Wang Ju's expression was also calm, looking at this strange "mother" crying, he didn't call it, and he couldn't shout. didn't persuade, but took out Zhao Niannu's pair of jade bracelets, don't underestimate this pair of jade bracelets, you can't take it down without a few hundred runs. But Wang Ju also did not say anything about its preciousness, and at the same time he took out some small gifts brought back from the capital, and then said: "It's not early, you live here, and I want to go to the state to teach." ”

This is also Cheng Kan's request.

Anyway, the appointment will not come down for a while and a half, so it is better for you to take the time to teach a student of state studies.

To be honest, there are several professors in Yanzhou State School, but learning is just the same thing. It's not that the professor of state studies is just a child, and there is no learning, yes, but not in Yanzhou, where the overall education level is very backward.

Wang Ju studied in the state school last year, and he also had the attitude of listening and knowing, listening to what was right, thinking about it carefully and ambiguously, and what was wrong should be the wind in his ears, and there were many mistakes.

Lao Cheng invited, just give some face, besides, this is his hometown after all.

Then I went to state school.

But halfway through, several women of the Ding family stopped and knelt down: "Wang Jinshi, let our family go." ”

"Hey, what's going on?" Wang Ju turned his head and asked Li Wanyuan.

He wants to do it to the Ding Niu family, but hasn't he done it yet.

Li Wanyuan whispered: "Brother-in-law, do you remember that Ding Jia lost money in betting?" ”

"Yes."

"That Lu Dalang is a ruthless master, he tricked Ding Jia into losing nearly 30,000 yuan at once, and then discounted the deed shares to pay off the remaining more than 10,000 yuan in debt. After Lu Dalang was beheaded, in the spring, he took this IOU and sold it to a few ruffians in Yanzhou, and a few ruffians came to collect debts every day. ”

There are still people in the Ding family, other children of Ding Buling, and cousins of Ding Buling, but they have divided the family property and are in charge of their own affairs. However, the Ding family is basically collapsed, these ruffians are not afraid of them, anyway, the money owed by your Ding family, there is no money to pay it back, use the house to taste, the house can't taste, sell the son and sell the daughter to taste. If you don't have it, write down the IOU, press the handprint, and calculate it with high interest.

This is a bad debt, a.

Don't talk about the Song Dynasty, it is the later generations, including Western countries, as well as usury and printing money, which can be managed. Besides, that official is willing to do justice for the Ding family? I can't wait for the Ding family to go to hell together, they are happy, and it is fair.

Wang Ju's eyebrows jumped: "Hey, is there such a thing?" ”

Li Wanyuan also gloated, if it weren't for the princess, if it wasn't for the master of the big house, Wan's lawsuit would be enough for his brother-in-law to drink a pot. This is not to report, the time has not come, self-seeking.

Wang Ju looked at these women and said, "What about the men in your family?" ”

What is this, let a few women kneel and come forward themselves, I am not Mr. Dongguo.

Several women wept.

Wang Ju said again: "Is this matter related to me? ”

"Please also ask the jinshi to say good things, and those scoundrels will let my family go."

"I let your family go, did your Ding family and Niu family let me go? Besides, am I an official in Yanzhou? If you are not an official in Yanzhou, how can you have the right to inquire about the affairs of Yanzhou? ”

"Wang Jinshi ......"

"Needless to say, although I won't repay it, I also hate you two in my heart, it is you two who make the people of Yanzhou corrupt and miserable." Wang Ju scolded and left.

Almost nothing was said, nothing was done. But in fact everything was said and everything was done.

First, Wang Ju did not intend to be magnanimous to the Ding Niu family.

Second, tell everyone that they hate the two of them.

It doesn't matter if the two are still the same two, but it's not. I believe that this sentence will be heard by many people with a heart. It's a little better now, the imperial court has not yet ordered it to come down, and even if it does, it will not be much of an official.

But what about the future.

How long can Zhao Shu jump, as soon as Zhao Shu takes the position, he also means that he wants to be on the throne.

Don't have too many sycophants.

Everyone rushed up and trampled the two families to death. This is a conspiracy and has nothing to do with conspiracy.

I don't blame Wang Ju for being ruthless, but these two families are really ruthless, since they don't die, then let's die!

Wang Ju doesn't want to leave a weak image in the future officialdom, which will also die quickly.

"Second brother, the Lu family also has capable people."

"What kind of capable person, without the bad idea of the Ding Niu family, how could the Lu family Lang come up with this poisonous plan, and why would he die, can the Lu family not retaliate?"

"No, I'm referring to his family's sale of IOUs."

"It's strange that his family can collect debts when they come to Yanzhou, what if they don't sell it?"

"Second brother, you are wrong, the mystery is revealed, it's just the same thing, but it hasn't been revealed, it's hard to guess." Wang Ju didn't expect that the protagonist behind him was Ge Shaohua, and Ge Shaohua also arrived in Hangzhou at this time, but Wang Ju didn't think much about it, with his roll call in Donghuamen, and the eighth in high school, the two are not the same grade, and Wang Ju's enemies may also be strong in the future, but that is the real Haoqiang, not the Lu family, the Ding family and the Niu family.

"After school, let's go to Zhu's house first, let Zhu Yuanwai invite the matchmaker to come over, and make a detailed post, it just so happens that my mother is also in the city, anyway, she is also my mother, while she is there, set an accurate date."

"That's great."

When Wang Ju came back, the Li family wanted to mention family affairs several times, but Wang Ju never spoke, and the Li family was not easy to say.

This is really misunderstood, Wang ** has no other ideas.

It's true that she can't get married now, Concubine Li is only a little older, sixteen years old, just turned fifteen years old, if it weren't for the month, fifteen years old would be enough, Wang Juzhen couldn't start. Moreover, medicine was backward in this era, for example, Feng Jing married a small and rich man, and it seems that he died of dystocia, and then married the second little rich.

got married so early, Concubine Li's body didn't grow at all, and she couldn't pass the hurdle of giving birth first. Or get married and worship the church, if you don't do that, can you bear it, even if you endure it, there has been no movement for a few years, will the Li family ask, will Concubine Li say? What do you think? In fact, the latter is not established at all, and I can't help it at all, okay?

But also to give the Li family relief.

There was a detailed post, but that one was not very standard, one was too long, and the two were limited in Wang Ju's property at that time, and the dowry could not be determined. Therefore, it is necessary to re-write a more detailed post. It was still two years later, but two years later, the day of January had to be clearly written, and the dowry should also be clearly written. Although they got married two years later, from this time on, the marriage was officially on the agenda.

Wang Ju entered the state school and began to teach in friendship, and the listeners were like a mountain, not only the students of the state school were almost all crowded over, but even other students in the city came to listen, and even several professors stood on the side to listen to Wang Ju's explanation.

If you don't accept it, you have the ability to take a third and eighth exam. It wasn't the usual third or eighth, but the third and eighth out of more than 20,000 lifters.

So can you say that, if you say so, wouldn't Dasu be inferior to Wang Ju, and Zhang Zai would not be as good as Wang Ju.

However, it is enough to teach these scholars in Yanzhou.

Wang Ju was also patient, teaching for nearly two hours in one class, answering students' questions while teaching, and also teaching some learning skills.

After school, Wang Ju and Li Wanyuan came to Zhu's house first.

Maybe Wang Ju has a small amount of energy, but knowing his kindness is Wang Ju's advantage, even if he is eighth in high school, he still respects Zhu Huan very much.

Wang Ju said it in front, and Zhu Huan invited the best matchmaker in the city.

The mother-in-law was also happy: "The old body is a matchmaker for Wen Quxing." ”

Not to mention the Li family, the matchmaker came to the door in front of her, and the detailed post was completed in almost half an hour, so fast that Zhu Huan couldn't help laughing. The date is also set, the year after the sixteenth month of the month of the sixteenth marriage, this date is the Li family repeatedly considered, it happens that day is Wang Ju's birthday, didn't Wang Ju say that he would be crowned before getting married. So choose this day. If you are lucky, you will give birth in October of the following year, even if you become an official, you will be idle in October, and the weather will not be very cold at that time, which is a good time for confinement.

How coincidental can that be?

But that's what the Li family thinks.

As for Wang Ju's mother, the Li family didn't think about it at all. It's reached, it's coming. Not reached, where are you, is this still a mother?

Of course, that is Wang Ju's mother, and she has to be polite on the surface. But it's obviously perfunctory.

As soon as the detailed post was ordered, the Li family immediately set off firecrackers.

Neighbors and relatives and friends came to congratulate him, Meng Yuanwai made a few jokes again, it doesn't matter, Li Yuanwai has long been so happy that he can't keep his mouth shut, even if Meng Yuanwai scolds him, he won't be angry at this time.

But the Li family is worried about one thing now, and they don't know where Wang Ju will be put outside. If it is exported to the south, it will be a bit of a headache.

When he was worried, the imperial court sent a letter to Yanzhou.
