The old lady treated Zhu Niang with affection and reason, and used coercion and temptation to do everything.

However, for Zhu Niang, this set is not new for a long time.

Do you know what kind of character and path this old lady is, and she will still be deceived by you? But on the surface, she still pretended to be very embarrassed.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law is not capable of managing a big mess of the Zhu family, I just want to live a stable life with Xiaohao, my daughter-in-law will never do anything that insults the Zhu family, and will teach my son to become a talent......"

Zhu Niang replied without humility or arrogance.

Zhu Jiashi was not annoyed, shook his head and sighed: "Alas...... You don't have any vision. This time to pacify the bandits who came over in Jiangxi, my Zhu family has made great contributions, and will be rewarded by the imperial court in the near future, and now Wang Shouren, the governor of Jiangxi Southeast, personally went to Anlu to take over the thieves, and asked for rewards for meritorious service, if you are willing to return to the Zhu family, your son will inherit the Zhu family...... Even the position of a thousand households is not impossible. ”

Zhu Niang snorted: "Mother, Xiao Hao, he has made some achievements in the imperial examination now, and I am afraid that he will no longer be attached to the position left by his ancestors." ”

"Could it be said that the son of man is so unfilial that he does not even inherit his father's will?"

Zhu Jia's face was not good, and he began to scare people with the big hat of filial piety.

Zhu Niang wanted to say, when we wanted to inherit before, the Zhu family didn't give it, and now we don't want it, you have to force us to accept it, what kind of reason is this?

Do you have to come with us and put the interests of the Zhu family first everywhere?

"Mother, I'm back......"

At this moment, Zhu Hao's crisp and pleasant children's voice came from the courtyard.

Zhu Jiashi was going to continue to persuade and educate his daughter-in-law, but when he heard his grandson's voice, he couldn't help frowning, and his face was folded together.

Immediately, the old lady and Zhu Niang walked out of the hall door together, and saw Zhu Hao sitting on a bamboo chair under the grapevine trellis in the courtyard, picking up the teapot on the coffee table and pouring tea into his mouth.

The old lady asked with a dark face: "Grandson, isn't it a government test today?" Why are you here? ”

"Grandmother? How did you end up in ...... The grandson greets his grandmother. ”

Zhu Hao took out a virtuous posture and bowed to Zhu Jia's family, with a childlike smile on his face: "Today is indeed the government exam, and my grandson went to take the exam before dawn, but I found that the exam was so difficult, and the two questions were inexplicable, and I couldn't understand the essentials for a long time, so I could only answer casually and come out." ”

"What?"

When Zhu Jiashi heard this, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

This kid......

When you take the county exam, you are the head of the case, and when you get to the government exam, you won't answer the questions when you see them?

Just answer it and come out?

Is this credible?

In other words, Tang Yin and Fan Yikuan would definitely not listen to Zhu Hao's nonsense.

There are difficulties in writing four books, but it is not so difficult that you will be the head of the case during the county examination, and you will hand in a blank paper when you arrive at the government examination, right? Besides, what kind of knowledge do you kid have, we won't know?

But Zhu Jiashi didn't know this, she didn't have a clear understanding of her grandson's knowledge, and felt that what Zhu Hao said was ...... Makes sense.

Everything is that Zhu Jiashi never thought that Zhu Hao had the ability to participate in the imperial examination.

A child who has only been enlightened for two years can be invincible in the imperial examination?

It must be that Xingwangfu bought the state government, and the county exam leaked the questions in advance, found a famous teacher to write an article, and asked him to answer in the examination room after memorizing, so that he could get the head of the case in one fell swoop.

It seems that he can easily get the fame of a showman, but he was kicked out of the palace in disguise...... If you win the show, don't you study hard at home, strive to pass the township test, and still have time to go to the palace as a companion to read and play with the children?

Unless it is an ulterior motive!

As a result, now that Zhu Hao has arrived at the government exam, no one has given him questions or written good articles for him to memorize, doesn't this show its original form?

Zhu Niang said nervously: "Xiaohao, even if it's difficult, you can't leave the exam room so early, you ...... I have inquired, even if you get the first place in the county examination, if you do not perform well in the prefectural examination and the hospital examination, you may not be able to enter the school. You...... Is it too late for you to go back to the exam room? ”

Zhu Hao said aggrievedly: "Mother, I have a little cold in the past two days, and I will have a snot or something if I have nothing to do, I am afraid that if I stay in the examination room for a long time, the snot will stain the exam papers, and I am afraid that I will not even have the slightest chance to enter the school at that time, plus Mr. Wangfu said today that I have something to do, so I will come out early, but fortunately, all the papers have been answered." ”

In the past, Zhu Niang may think that Zhu Hao's words are true.

But now she's grown up.

Usually her son bragged in her ear when he was fine, saying how powerful he was, why did he sing down himself so much when he went to the house test? When she turned her head sideways and saw her mother-in-law with an annoyed face, she understood everything.

This is not for her mother, but to convince the old lady that there is such a thing.

Didn't you say that my son was about to be admitted to the Xiucai examination and had a bright future, so he used this coercion and temptation to let me return to the Zhu family? Now my son said that he didn't do well in the government exam this time, you see that he came out so early, and a normal candidate can get out of the exam room so early? That must have gone wrong with the exam.

"Mother, look ......"

Zhu Niang looked at her mother-in-law with a look of grievance.

Zhu Jiashi said: "Grandson, your husband knows that you are going to take the government exam today, why do you still have something to do?" ”

Zhu Hao said: "That's the case, grandmother, my husband has an old friend, a big official named Wang Shouren, arrived in Anlu today, the palace asked my husband to be in charge of the reception, and my husband wanted me to make more friends with the great Confucians and famous eunuchs of the world, so let me participate in the reception work together and accumulate contacts......

"Mr. also said that if I entered the examination room and found that the questions were difficult, I would finish writing them as soon as possible, which not only did not hinder me, but also helped me pass the government exam smoothly."

Justified.

People who are familiar with the rules of the science field must have scoffed at Zhu Hao's words, how can an official from other provinces who has nothing to do with the wind and horses affect a local government test?

But Zhu Jia's empty stomach is bad, but he has never participated in the imperial examination, how can he know so detailed?

Listening to Zhu Hao's "reasonable" answer, coupled with her stereotypical prejudice against her grandson, all the doubts in her mind were instantly connected......

It was clear that these words were spoken to her heart.

It doesn't matter whether others think it's reasonable or not, as long as the old lady thinks it's reasonable.

"What a painstaking effort you sir...... The third family, think about it carefully, go first for your mother! ”

Based on the wrong perception, Zhu Jiashi found that the situation had changed.

The daughter-in-law is now worried that her grandson will not be admitted to the exam, and she will definitely not rashly agree to the conditions of the Zhu family, and it will be futile to stay here any longer, so it is better to go back and send someone to investigate whether Sun Tzu's words are true or false.

Wang Shouren went to Anlu and she knew, but Wang Shouren was an old friend of the teacher in the palace? What role did the grandson play when he went to receive him?

What benefits will it bring to the Zhu family?

Rather than calculating her daughter-in-law, the old lady prefers to calculate the royal mansion and the people in the officialdom.

……

……

Zhu Jiashi is gone.

Zhu Niang and Zhu Hao sent out the back door together.

When she came back and closed the door, Zhu Niang asked, "Xiaohao, did you lie in front of your grandmother?" Actually, you did well in the exam? ”

"Of course."

Zhu Hao said, "This time the question is too simple, I finished it in less than an hour, why are you still in the examination room?" Today, Mr. Tang asked me to receive the senior officials of the DPRK and China, saying that he wanted to introduce my good students so that I could gain some fame in Shilin, so I submitted my papers and left the examination room in advance. ”

"Then why don't you hurry up?"

Zhu Niang was relieved, and hurriedly urged her son to do business.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Mother, this official was originally a Jiangxi official, responsible for pacifying the robbers in Jiangxi, Fujian and other places, and now he is on an errand across provinces, and he must first hand over to the government when he arrives in a place, why do you let me let a child go so early?" ”

Only then did Zhu Niang feel relieved: "No wonder you will go home first." ”

Zhu Hao said: "When they finish the handover at noon, I will go to Mr. Tang again...... Do you know that Mr. Tang and Wang Zhongcheng took the entrance examination in the same year, but Wang Zhongcheng was admitted to the Jinshi examination that year, and Mr. Tang could not take the imperial examination again because of some things......

"The circumstances are different, and the prospects are very different...... Now that Mr. Tang has achieved something in the palace, is it the result of our family's help......"

"Alright, alright."

Zhu Niang didn't want to hear about these Chen sesame rotten grains, it had nothing to do with her, so she didn't care about it at all.

"You hurry up and prepare, if you can't change your clothes and go to see the official again, my mother has sewn a few new clothes for you during this time...... I hope you can successfully pass the government exam, so that you are one step closer to being admitted to the exam, and your mother can also go to reward God with peace of mind......"

Zhu Niang now has money in her hands, but she finds that it is not helpful for her son's imperial examination.

I don't know where to spend my money.

It seems that she can't do anything other than ask the gods to worship the Buddha, sacrifice to her husband, and hope that the gods will bless her, which is what makes her feel very powerless.

"Okay, mother, I'll change my clothes and go, I'll go back to the palace first, the person Mr. Tang arranged to pick me up should be waiting for me...... If Grandmother comes again, you just prevaricate her, and she will definitely not have any good intentions...... I guess she wants to annex our business this time, and put you in charge of the Zhu family's business, right? ”

Zhu Hao said with a smile.

Zhu Niang had long known that her son could pinch and calculate, and she could see the old lady's conspiracy and calculation clearly, otherwise she wouldn't have said those words just now.

"You're smart."

"Mother, we can't suffer, I'll go first."

……

……

Zhu Hao left the house, and did not rush back to the palace, still wandering around the city.

The matter of the robbers was successfully resolved, and Anlu and even the entire Huguang ground quickly settled down, and the state city seemed to be more lively than before.

Everyone knows that Anlu has a Xingwang Mansion, and thousands of robbers can be easily annihilated by sending troops, which robbers will dare to come to Anlu to make trouble in the future?

Xingwangfu is simply the protector of Anlu and even Huguang ground, the government does not dare to face the thieves, Xingwangfu took the initiative to attack, not to mention, and easily won, so why don't those who do business move to such a relatively stable place?

Besides, Anlu's transportation conditions are relatively convenient, and in the past two years, all kinds of businesses on the ground in Jiangxi have been hit, and many businessmen have transferred their business to surrounding provinces.

"That's a lot of people."

Zhu Hao walked around the city for a while and found that not far in front of him was the merchant house opened by his family in the city.

At this time, a group of people came out of the inside, hurrying, it was the "broker" under the shopkeeper, they came to negotiate business with customers from all over the world, and they were going back to report to their bosses at the moment.

This merchant house, which has both trade and accommodation functions, makes merchants from all over the world come to Anlu to do business, because they can negotiate business in the merchant house without leaving home, and avoid looking for people everywhere to contact and buy and sell goods.

Originally, Zhu Hao wanted to go in and take a look, but when he looked up at the sky, it was almost noon, and it was already the time to meet Tang Yin, and it was estimated that after returning to the palace, someone would lead him to see Wang Shouren.

Business matters can be put aside for the time being, and I will go to the meeting first Wang Yangming, the great sage of the world, is more concerned.
