Chapter 196: Uninvited Guest

"Sister, do you have a way?"

Sanniang thought about it and nodded. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"

"Brother, come here." Sanniang beckoned to Wang Jing, Wang Jing leaned over through the coffee table, and Sanniang said in his ear.

Wang Jing listened and nodded sometimes and frowned.

After Sanniang finished speaking, Wang Jing was puzzled: "Sister, does this method work?" ”

Sanniang blinked: "Brother can't trust me?" ”

"Of course not." Wang Jing said busily.

In his eyes, his sister is the smartest. When he was a child, he thought so probably because of his shortcomings, but in the past few years, the brother and sister have gotten along, and no matter what difficulties they encounter, their sister can always come up with a way to solve them. He, who is an older brother, is not proud in his heart.

It is precisely because Wang Jing found that his sister is smart and capable, so he strives to make himself not so useless, and works hard to learn how to deal with things outside. Although he is far from being able to practice thoroughly, he has made great progress compared to a few years ago.

"I just thought, how can the second brother find the kind of ...... you said? Belch...... To help him? Wang Jing explained.

"Brother, just go and tell the second brother what I just said, he will naturally have a way." Sanniang said with a smile.

Wang Jing saw that Sanniang was so sure, so he nodded and agreed.

When Wang Jing left, Sanniang explained a few more words to Bai Ying and asked her to go to Sun's Songling Courtyard.

This night, after Wang Jing returned to the outer courtyard, he naturally had a conversation with Wang Zhang, and the specific situation will not be repeated for the time being.

After deliberation, the people of the Wang family decided that Wang Bai would take Wang Dong and Wang Ji. Sanniang and they entered Beijing.

At this time, travel is a post road, and the waterway is also a kind of post road. Because Wang Bai was able to borrow an official ship, he decided to take people to take a horse-drawn carriage to take the land economic Nanfu Licheng to Dezhou, and board the ship in Dezhou to Tongzhou. It's just that the section of the waterway from Tongzhou to the capital is small due to the small amount of water in the river. The blockage is so bad that it hasn't been accessible for many years. Therefore, after arriving in Tongzhou, you have to take a land route to reach the capital.

The day of the trip, after checking the yellow calendar, was set on the tenth day of the eighth month after the seventh day.

These days. Qiuheng Temple and Hefeng Temple are very busy, busy cleaning up and saluting. Because this time I went to the capital to live permanently, it was different from the last time I went to Yanzhou Mansion. There's so much to prepare.

Don't talk about others, Sanniang has a headache when she looks at the boxes of salutes packed in the yard. It was only the fifth day of the eighth month, and more than a dozen cages were sorted out, and Sanniang had already expected that there would be more than a dozen sorted out by Mama Zhao on the day of the trip.

"Mama, the things you don't use often should be locked in the warehouse, so you don't have to bring them all." Sanniang said helplessly to Mama Zhao.

Mama Zhao looked disagreeing when she heard this: "Miss, these are all for you." You see, there are three boxes of bedding nets for each season. Five boxes of commonly used utensils on weekdays, and four boxes of toy utensils. And your Four Seasons Clothes have only been sorted out with two boxes of winter coats now......"

Sanniang's head is no longer an ordinary pain: "Mama, those utensils and playthings should stay." And the futon is enough to bring only one set for each season."

"How can other people's things be as comfortable as their own things. Besides, those porcelain and jade are all left for you by Madame, and you will take them wherever you go. Otherwise, if we are not here, won't some people borrow once in the east and borrow once in the west? ”

The dowry of the Zhao family was abundant, and most of the valuable small items that were lucky enough to go out were bought, but some of the large and bulky ones were still kept. In the past, Kim always borrowed it a few times under various excuses, and each time he deliberately forgot to return it. But Mama Zhao attaches great importance to the things left by the Zhao family, and every time the Jin family "forgets" to return it after using it, Mama Zhao will personally take someone to Qiuheng Courtyard to find the Jin family.

If the Jin family pretends to be stupid, Mama Zhao will shout that the whole house knows that the eldest lady is greedy for the dowry of her deceased brother-in-law. Sun doesn't look down on these things, and has always been unaccustomed to Jin's petty family, afraid that this matter will be shouted out and will be known, so he called Jin to beat twice, and later once was known by the eldest master Wang Bai, Wang Bai was so angry that he said in public that he wanted to divorce his wife.

That was the first time Wang Bai had such a big temper, and Jin was frightened, so he honestly returned the things. But Wang Bai was still so angry that he lived in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion outside for ten days and half a month, and almost brought a Qingqi back. Jin had to whisper and send someone to invite him several times.

In the end, Wang Bai reluctantly came back, but he publicly sent several antiquities from the previous dynasty in his house to the Hefeng Courtyard as an apology. Sanniang and Wang Jing naturally wouldn't accept it, so they sent it back, saying that it was a misunderstanding. The Kim family was originally distressed to death, but when he saw that the baby was returned, he was immediately overjoyed.

Without saying a word, Wang Bai smashed those antiquities at her feet in front of the Jin family, saying that the things he Wang Bai sent out would not be his, and said that if the Jin family dared to come in the future, he would compensate him at twice the price.

Only this once, the Jin family was frightened, and no longer dared to fight the idea of the Zhao family's dowry.

Mama Zhao said this to resent the fact that when the bones of the Zhao family were not cold, the Jin family came to cheat the Zhao family about the dowry.

Sanniang couldn't cry or laugh a little, so she could only say, "Mama." I heard that there is only one courtyard with three entrances on the side of the capital. We're going to go to so many people this time, and the places where we live are too crowded, where are these utensils going to be placed? ”

Mama Zhao was also stunned: "Sanjin's yard? ”

Sanniang nodded, and Mama Zhao looked bitter. She only thought that she couldn't let the things left by her wife be greedy, but she forgot to think about where to put them.

Sanniang saw that Mama Zhao was depressed, so she proposed: "Mama, you put everything in the box and lock it in the warehouse, and then leave two trustworthy mothers-in-law and maids to take care of it." If you are still not at ease, give the key to your grandmother's grandmother to take care of. ”

In the eyes of outsiders, handing over the key to Mama Chang is equivalent to handing over things to the Sun family, so that the Sun family has a bright face, and others dare not pay attention. And according to Sun's temperament, she can't look down on this little thing in Hefeng Courtyard.

Mama Zhao's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately patted her legs and said, "This is a good idea, or Miss, you are smart." By the way, I also asked someone to lock up the things on the young master's side. I won't take it with me. ”

Saying that, Mama Zhao left in a hurry.

Several courtyards were busy, but the courtyard of the old lady Sun welcomed an uninvited guest that afternoon.

"Nephew greets Aunt Twelve." A man of about forty years old dressed in a dark blue Confucian robe greeted Sun.

"No need to be polite, sit down." Sun pointed to the chair on the lower left.

The visitor saluted again, and then sat down according to his words, with a proper posture. Very scholarly.

"Why is Brother Park here today? Your mother has been in the future for a long time, how is she doing? Sun let himself pull out a smile with great effort, and said.

Wang Pu arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your concern." Mother, she's all right. ”

"Oh, that's good." Sun had nothing to say.

Since the Sun family was ousted from the position of patriarch of the Twelfth Room by the Lian family four years ago, he has always been disagreeable with the Lian family, and even the people who brought the fourth room did not like it. Although because of the four rooms, it is now gaining momentum. Sun didn't dare to offend too much. But it's not very hot after all.

The person who came today is the third son of the Lian family, and Wang Pu, who is also sitting in the Wang family school.

Wang Pu saw that the Sun family was only concerned about drinking tea and didn't speak, so he took the initiative to speak: "My nephew came today because I have something to discuss with Aunt Twelve. ”

Sun suddenly felt his right eyelid throb.

"That's right, Yao Shengshou, who now lives in Jinan Mansion, suddenly found our Wang family's clan study yesterday." Wang Pu's eyes sparkled.

"Yao Shengshou?" Sun was a little confused.

Wang Pu nodded: "It is the Yao Chong Yao Holy Hand who was named a painting saint by the first emperor." ”

The first emperor Jianwu Emperor was martial and light, but it is strange that such an emperor actually liked to paint. Therefore, he has great respect for the literati who can paint, Yao Chengnian is a painter who is highly respected by the first emperor, and the world knows that this Yao Shengshou's profession is not a painter but a Confucian master.

Yao Shengshou accidentally saw a painting by Zhang'er for a friend, and admired Zhang'er very much. Therefore, he wanted to accept Zhang'er as his closed disciple. Auntie, what do you think? Wang Pu was very excited.

"Who? Who are you talking about? Sun was stunned. I thought I had misheard.

"Yao Holy Hand Yao Chong." Wang Pu replied.

"I'm asking you, who does he want to accept as a closed disciple?" Sun said patiently.

"Zhang'er, Wang Zhang." Wang Pu didn't pay attention to Sun's expression, and continued to be happy: "Mr. Yao has been the teacher of the first emperor since he became a teacher. also served as the current saint, Shen Shangshu. Su Minzhi's teacher, needless to say, the two saints, Shen Shangshu and Su Gongzi are both two generations of talents who can write and paint. I didn't expect him to fall in love with our family this time, auntie, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is well known to the general manager that Mr. Yao does not accept disciples easily, and after accepting Su Min, it is even rumored that he will not accept disciples in the future......"

"No, he's not going!" On Sun's stiff face, a little nervousness could be seen.

"Huh? Why not? Wang Pu didn't react.

"Wang Zhang, he won't be an apprentice to that holy hand." Sun repeated coldly.

"Why is that?" Wang Pu couldn't believe it: "Although Mr. Yao is known as the saint of painting, he only picks apprentices with his paintings, and what he really teaches is the collection of sub-scriptures, just look at Shen Shangshu and Su Minzhi." Anyone who has been his student has the title of the gold list, not to mention that Shen Shangshu is the champion of the first emperor dynasty, Su Minzhi was also appointed as the champion by the saint in the last palace examination. Although some people rumored that the saint was because he saw Su Minzhi and he were the same door, for the sake of his own ......, "put gold on his face."

Wang Pu swallowed the last few words, and continued: "In short, this is a great opportunity no matter what. ”

"I said he wouldn't go if he didn't go." Sun's face became darker and darker.

Wang Pu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said angrily: "Auntie, you are ruining Zhang'er's future like this!" If you don't give a reason, I'll take it to the clan!" ”

Wang Pu is different from his two elder brothers, he is very scholarly and righteous, and anyone dares to stand up to him if he is stubborn. He was admitted to Tanhua back then, and the people of the Wang family knew his bullish temper, so they tried their best to arrange him to be a noble Beijing official who dealt with old papers all day long in the Hanlin Academy.

Unlike other ministries and localities, Hallym Academy is a place with a strong academic color. It is mainly responsible for the affairs of the imperial system, the annals, and the Wenhan, plus the examination system, detailed documents, and the emperor's advisers. The Wang family thought there would be no problem now, right?

But they still underestimated Wang Pu, and the problem was this "adviser to the emperor".

One day, the emperor had nothing to do and wanted to study, so he recruited a bachelor from the Hanlin Academy as usual, and it happened that Wang Pu was on duty that day. When the emperor read about an incident of the Southern Miaojiang Rebellion of Emperor Jianwu of the previous dynasty, he sighed: My father was really a majestic emperor, and more than ten years after the Miaojiang Rebellion was pacified, the south was still so calm and peaceful. I had never heard the sound of rebellion, and I was really far away from him.

If you heard Emperor Shunde pat his son in the imperial study that day, it was some other Hanlin bachelor, bachelor, lecturer, revision, editing, review, etc., it must be a rare opportunity to take the opportunity to shoot the sycophants of Emperor Shunde and Emperor Shunde together! After that, he and Emperor Shunde remembered the first emperor with tears in his eyes, and maybe he could be promoted to Jialu on the next day.

It's a pity that it was Wang Pu who was on duty that day.

Wang Pu immediately got up and saluted Emperor Shunde and said, "The Holy Lord doesn't know that the reason why the land of southern Xinjiang is still so smooth is because they no longer have anyone who can pick up a countersword. When the emperor personally conquered, because he accidentally fell into one of their Miao poisons, his arm was almost abolished, and he was very disgusted with the Miao Jiang people. Therefore, after quelling the rebellion in southern Xinjiang, the first emperor ordered the general to kill all the men, including young children, in the land of Miaojiang. ”

One of the attendants on duty with Wang Pu didn't listen right, and when he saw that Emperor Shunde's face was dark, he hurriedly pulled Wang Pu's sleeve underneath. But Wang Puzheng said impassionedly, where did he manage so much, and immediately made a big effort.

With a "stab" sound, Wang Pu's sleeve was torn open from his shoulder.

At this time, Wang Pu came over in rebellion, frowned and looked at the waiter and said, "What are you doing here?" In front of the Holy Driver, what kind of system will it become? ”

“……”

Emperor Shunde has always shown people the benevolent and elegant image that distinguishes him from his father, and this paragraph that Wang Pu said is true, if he is punished for his words, the good image he has finally established in the hearts of the scholars will collapse. Therefore, although Emperor Shunde was angry in his heart, he endured it after all, and only used the fact that Wang Pu's sleeve was broken to cure him of a crime of disgrace in front of the Holy Cross, and punished him for a year.

It's just that this matter was finally known by the people of the Wang family, so Wang Pu was half-coaxed and half-deceived by his two brothers and resigned.

The reason is naturally very high-sounding, the eldest brother of the Wang family said that the descendants of the Wang family are the hope of the family, and they need a learned and capable person to teach and guide.

So Wang Pu resigned and returned to Qingcheng County. (To be continued)
