Chapter 517: True Confucianism is also
Back in Hangzhou, Xu Qian began to receive military officials one after another.
Now that Zhejiang has no leader, the governor of Zhejiang died in office, at this time, the Zhejiang political envoy came out to temporarily maintain the overall situation, but it is a pity that Xu Qian is expected to return, although they all say that the Japanese are exterminated, but everyone is inevitably a little afraid of the Japanese comeback, with Xu Qian's backbone, everyone is also at ease.
So the political envoy naturally fell silent, and many officials in various prefectures and provinces paid homage to Xu Qian, and even some government affairs needed Xu Qian to come forward, and there were some trivial battles between various yamen, and they also hoped that Xu Qian would come forward to mediate.
Many things in the world are often not in accordance with the rules and regulations, those who are not in government are forced to seek their own government, and those who are in government have no nose and no eyes, to put it simply, power comes from official positions, and also comes from people's hearts, and people's hearts are like this, who can do anything.
The endless stream of guests naturally inevitably wants to hear some bad rumors.
"What, take a wife? Why is it a wife again? Didn't you already marry a wife when you were in Jingshi? Gui Xianggui's sister ......"
"I also just heard, both have a wife, how to marry a wife, it is said that there are many posts out, then invite many people to the table, it seems that this Xu family, there is a big meaning, at least a hundred tables of flowing water seats, Hangzhou prefect Jiang Lord you know, today Jiang people went to see Xu, Xu sent a post to Jiang, now Jiang people are also embarrassed, think about it, if you don't go, it is natural to refute the face, what kind of person is Xu, it is a figure that Shilin looks up to. He is also a bachelor, with a great future, and he will be able to enter the cabinet in the future, especially in the battle of Jiangnan. The strength of the limelight is not under the Zhongsu Gong who defended the Beijing division back then, the two heroes of Qiantang, one is Yu Zhongsu. The second is naturally this Xu Qian, both of them have the word Qian in their names, and they are both from Qiantang, who dares to offend such a character? But if he goes, this Xu bachelor first married a wife, and now he marries a flat wife, which is really rare in the country, and it seems to be contrary to etiquette. It's okay if he violates etiquette. After all, he is a young man. The dragon and phoenix among people are inherently controversial, but no one can move him. But what is Master Jiang? After all, it's just a prefect, so if you go to celebrate. Isn't that condoning? So...... Now Master Jiang is in a dilemma, worried, since the Xu family came back, he has no heart to act as a political ......"
"Ah...... So what? ”
"Who knows what to do, everyone is looking ahead and backward, don't say it's Jiang, I want to come to other adults, as well as the gentry from all over Zhejiang, I'm afraid they are hesitating, in fact, many people are looking at what others have planned, others go, he goes, the law does not blame the public, if others don't go, they have to think about it again."
"Bachelor Xu is a bachelor of Hanlin, this etiquette should naturally be observed, how can it ......?"
"Don't talk nonsense, who said that Bachelor Xu doesn't respect the etiquette law, there must be some reason for this, if you talk nonsense, be careful of being beaten on the road, even if people don't blame Bachelor Xu for slandering him, but think about it, will others sit idly by?"
"This ...... It's me who is too talkative. ”
The news is like having wings, so that the students are very anxious, now in Zhejiang, most of the students take Wang Xue as a holy canon, and Xu Qian's position in Wang Xue is particularly important, almost no less than Yan Yuan, Zigong's status in Confucius, such a person, everyone naturally hopes that he is a saint, even if he is not a saint, then he should be a sage, and now there is such a thing, which is obviously very different from the etiquette advocated now, a bit of a non-mainstream meaning, so everyone is also worried, for fear that there will be some bad news.
There are also some Wang Xuemen people who simply defend Xu Qian, saying that Xu Qian did this in order to criticize the old party, and the science is bound every day, not only to bind himself, but also to restrain others.
I don't believe this reason, but at this time, what can I do except comfort like this?
The Xu family's side, because of Zhang Luo's marriage, is already a full gathering, Miss Zhao's father has arrived, Xu Qian personally greeted, he came out, naturally countless officials followed, countless captains of unicorn suits were present, Miss Zhao's father is called Zhao Xin, just an ordinary businessman, doing the trade of medicinal materials, seeing this battle, it is really a little scary, Xu Qian personally let his sedan chair for him to sit, he has never sat in a sedan chair in his life, after arriving at Xu's house, he chatted with Xu Qian a few words, saw Xu Qian's sincerity, and said: "Come to the neighborhood and laugh, They all say how my daughter is, today...... Hey, don't say anything else, she can have today, I am naturally very happy as a father, and there is a light on my face to have a virtuous son-in-law like you, but my family is a businessman after all, and the virtuous son-in-law is ...... now."
Xu Qian patted his hand and interrupted with a smile: "Shinong industry and commerce, there is no high or low, only good and bad, if it is a good family, what is the obstacle?" These words need not be mentioned in the future. ”
He was about to chat a few more words, but someone came to report: "Gong Xie is here." ”
Xu Qian hurriedly left his seat and went out to greet him, this house is Xu Shen's mansion, he bought a big mansion in Hangzhou, the house is not small, Xu Qian sometimes does not know the way, led by someone to the middle gate, sure enough, he saw Xie Qian's sedan chair parked outside, hurriedly stepped forward, and said respectfully outside the sedan chair: "The teacher is a big driver, the student has lost his welcome, and he hopes to forgive his sins." ”
Xie Qiancai got out of the chair, saw that there were people all around, and then smiled implicitly: "You can have a heart, yes, the old man wants to meet my daughter, and so are you, the old man just recognized his daughter last month, and you are going to marry into the door, what is the reason?" ”
Xu Qian immediately understood, and hurriedly smiled bitterly: "It's all the student's fault......"
led Xie Qian in, sat down in the lobby, Xu Qian asked Zhao Xin to meet Xie Qian, Xie Qian glared at him, and then squeezed out a little smile and said to Zhao Xin: "Your daughter, the old man likes it very much, and now she has been accepted as a righteous daughter, I don't know if Mr. Zhao is willing to cut his love?" ”
Where is Zhao Xin unwilling, what kind of character is Xie Qian, if he goes to Jiangning to say, he must be shocked to death, he hurriedly said: "Make it, make it." ”
Xie Qian didn't want to say more, so he got up and said: "Xu Qian, you want to get married tomorrow, the old man, you don't have to worry about it, go on your own, find a secluded place, let the old man rest, and the road for a long time is tired." ”
Xu Qian couldn't help but think in his heart, what is called a long-day road, it is clearly a sedan chair for a long time, but it is true that the two sedan chair men are pitiful, but now that the teacher is finally willing to come forward to relieve him, he is sweet in his heart, and he hurriedly ordered someone to ask Xie Qian to go to the high bed, and ordered someone to welcome the Xie family's sedan chair man into the house to rest, and let people prepare a table of wine and food to fill their stomachs.

Hangzhou prefect Yamen.
Lord Jiang is still uneasy, looking at the gilded invitation on the case, he can't eat or sleep, Xu Qian's thick thighs, this is a fool if he doesn't hug it, this person is not only the leader of Wang Xue, but also an important member in the future, belonging to the potential stocks of the Ming Dynasty.
But if you go......
Lord Jiang's concern is reasonable, etiquette is a big problem, in the outside world, Xu Qian can follow the example of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest and become his madman. But Governor Wang's Mansion is different, if he goes, it will become an aider, and once he is impeached, his future will be over.
For two days in a row, Master Jiang was thinking about this issue, and Xu Qian was going to get married tomorrow, but he still hadn't made a decision.
At this moment, a staff member hurriedly came in and said, "Your Excellency...... Adult ......"
This person is Lord Jiang's confidant, surnamed Liu, Lord Jiang stopped and said, "Mr. Liu, what happened again?" ”
Mr. Liu said: "It's not that something happened, but I heard a news that it was Mr. Xu who was going to marry this time, but it was his mentor Xie Gongyi's daughter, and it was rumored that as early as a few months ago, Xie Gong loved this woman's talent and accepted her as a female ......."
Hearing this, Governor Jiang didn't turn a corner: "What's the matter, what does it have to do with the old man?" ”
Mr. Liu said happily: "My lord, it has long been spread outside, and now everyone not only thinks that Mr. Xu's behavior is perverse, but everyone thinks that Mr. Xu is really a model of Shilin and a model for me to read." ”
Governor Jiang frowned: "Why is this?" ”
Mr. Liu explained: "Come to think of it, since Master Xu wants to marry, she is the daughter of Duke Xie, and Duke Xie is the mentor of Master Xu, in this world, how can there be a reason to accept the daughter of Master Xu as a concubine?" In this way, isn't it insulting the teacher and trampling on the teacher's way? ”
Governor Jiang roughly guessed a little eyebrows, and said excitedly: "Do you mean to say that the reason why Bachelor Xu risked the world's disapproval, and would rather go behind the world's infamy for scolding him for not understanding the etiquette law, and marry a wife, is not because he behaves perversely, but because Xu Qian is in the way of his master and respects Duke Xie?" The old man understands, understands, okay, although doing this does hinder the etiquette law, but respecting the teacher and respecting the Tao, isn't it also the etiquette law? Bachelor Xu did it as a last resort, and his hard work taught me to speculate in vain, and this move must be passed on as a beautiful talk. ”
Mr. Liu also said with a fluttering eyebrow: "That's right, the pot has exploded outside, and everyone is praising Mr. Xu for daring to act, but he is also a true Confucian." ”
Governor Jiang breathed a sigh of relief: "Since the truth has come out, hurry up and prepare a gift immediately, tomorrow morning, I will come to the door to congratulate him, the old man of the gift list should take a good look, one is a bachelor, the other is the daughter of Duke Xie, these are the most virtuous people in Jiangnan, the marriage of the two families is a good story, this ceremony, not only to be extraordinary, but also to be precious, you have to bother more." ”
"Yes......" Mr. Liu didn't say much, made a salute, and went quickly.
