Hearing the familiar voice coming from outside the carriage, Wang Quanquan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, he patted Wang Qianying's shoulder and said:

"Son, when I see your uncle, I have to slaughter him severely, he is one of the biggest families in our dynasty."

Wang Qianying nodded as if she understood or not.

……

Wang Quanquan lifted the curtain, got out of the carriage, looked at the man opposite, and opened his arms to give him a hug, but the latter hurriedly took a step back and saluted:

"Brother Wang, it's been a long time."

Wang Quanquan knew that the other party had a very good reputation in the local area, and he was also quite loved by the people, so he didn't want to lose his manners, but how could he care about these people, so he directly stepped forward and hooked the other party's neck and said:

"What calf are you and I pretending to be here? Hurry, I'm hungry. After that, he beckoned to Wang Qianying, "Come, I've seen your uncle." ”

Pan Ziqian couldn't help but be a little embarrassed in the face of the strange eyes of the people around him, but he still smiled at some timid children and said:

"You're Qianying, Nian Nu often talks about you."

Hearing the other party mention the aunt who bought him a bunch of clothes and gadgets for the New Year, the little guy immediately stopped nervous, and obediently stepped forward and called "uncle".

Pan Ziqian's hand has always been generous, and he directly took out a fine mutton fat jade pendant and handed it over.

Under the teaching of Yan Rongrong, Wang Qianying has developed the character of easily not accepting heavy gifts, and just about to shake his head, he saw his father glaring at him, the little guy hesitated, and finally accepted it.

……

Wang Quanquan looked at the people who came to greet him, but he didn't see the figure of Nian Nu, with the other party's love for Qianying, it was impossible not to come in person, so he asked:

"Why didn't my sister-in-law come?"

Pan Ziqian smiled slightly:

"She had just given birth, and it was when she was weak, so I was afraid that she would catch a cold, so I let her stay at home."

"Oh? Congratulations to Brother Pan, boy and girl? ”

"It's a daughter."

"That's a good relationship, I'm not as lucky as you, I just got a son."

"Brother Wang is humble."

Pan Ziqian smiled, with his understanding of the king's authority, the other party must be showing off, how can there be anyone in the world who doesn't want a son, but he doesn't know that the idea of the king's authority is not the same era as him at all, he really wants a girl from the bottom of his heart.

……

As he was talking, Yan Rongrong walked over with the child in his arms, bowed slightly, and Pan Ziqian hurriedly returned the salute, and then the three of them talked about the topic of the child, which made a few officials standing on the side a little embarrassed.

The three chatted for a while, and Pan Ziqian remembered that there were a few other people next to him, and introduced:

"Brother Wang, this is Lord Liu, the new governor of Nanyang Mansion."

Governor Liu, who was wearing a five-grade official uniform, hurriedly saluted the king's authority, "I've seen the prince." ”

Wang Quanquan nodded with a smile and looked at this thin official in his early thirties, "Lord Liu should be a Jinshi in the thirty-fifth year of the dynasty." ”

Liu Zhou's face was stunned when he heard this, "The prince has heard of Weichen? ”

"This king was fortunate to read Lord Liu's test paper, and one of the sentences 'The people are the foundation of the state, the right is the end of the foundation, and the cart must not be turned upside down', which is simply deafening."

"Let the prince laugh, at that time, Liu was young and vigorous, wrote such disobedient words, and when he turned around, he was proud to mention it to his teacher, but he didn't want to be scolded by his head and face, I thought that he had no chance to be in this life, and he didn't want to be able to get the saint and never give up, all the way to the point where he is now."

"Lord Liu is serious, what is lacking in today's officialdom is people who really think about the people, and today Ziren loves the people, and he will not disappoint the adults."

Wang Quanquan's simple kind words made the face of the man opposite change again and again.

……

In the thirty-fifth year of the dynasty, it was during the reign of Emperor Xiaocun, and a palace test was held that year.

Because he wrote a "bastard word" that insulted the royal power, he was originally ready to leave Beijing, but he didn't expect that His Majesty would go to great lengths to select him separately from a pile of examination papers, make an exception for him to take the palace examination, and finally give him the title of Jinshi.

After that, he once regarded Emperor Xiaocun as a confidant, and then Emperor Shun entered Beijing, he wanted to resign more than once and go into hiding, but finally couldn't stand the persuasion of his teacher, so he continued to stay in the officialdom.

In the past few years, his career has been unexpectedly smooth, and Emperor Shun's three fires happened to burn one of his top bosses every time, and Liu Zhou sat in his current position inexplicably.

But even so, the new Futai still has a lot of prejudices about Emperor Shun's usurpation, but these words can only be hidden in his heart, and even his own teacher can't tell it.

……

Wang Quanquan naturally saw the other party's shocked expression, and he didn't bother to delve into the secret, and there was one thing he didn't say, it was Wang Quanquan himself who raised his noble hand to let this student who spoke "against the word" enter the temple.

As the first assistant at that time, he was the only prince in Beijing, so he naturally still had this power, and the reason why he didn't say it was because he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

In the future, he will live in Zhongzhou, he doesn't want to be visited by people with gratitude in three days, if the other party regards himself as a confidant, it will be even more troublesome, in his opinion, the mind of a scholar is more complicated than a little girl of the right age.

After introducing Liu Futai, Pan Ziqian introduced Wang Quanquan to the professors of Tongzhi, Tongju, and Confucianism in Nanyang Mansion.

The first two are middle-aged people in their early fifties, who have worked in Nanyang Mansion for half their lives, if they say that they have never fished oil and water at all, it is unlikely, after all, Nanyang Mansion has changed so many prefects back and forth, the good and the bad are uneven, these two people look at the old fritters who are sleek and smooth, and they have to follow what the prefect asks them to do.

For the two people with a smile on their faces, Wang Quanquan only nodded politely, but the last old man, who didn't seem to be very easy to get along with, did not deliberately get close to Wang Quanquan because of his identity.

Before Wang Quanquan came here, he specially understood that this Confucian professor had taught many important ministers of the court, and the most important thing was that he had written a very best-selling Confucian book, which was highly sought after by the literary world, and even the Northern Turkistan and Donghan were no exception.

For the old man, the royal authority was not deliberately enveloped, but only a simple literati ceremony.

……

Everyone knew each other one by one, Pan Ziqian sent the rest of the people away first, and at noon Wang Quanquan and others would have a light meal in the county king's mansion, and then go to the banquet of local officials after cleaning the residence in the afternoon.

The group marched towards the city, and the mansion that Pan Ziqian found for the king's authority was located in the north of the city. Before Wang Quanquan came here, he asked the other party to help arrange a place to live, and the place didn't need to be too big, just enough for their family to live.

The servants are willing to come with them, and the royal authority doesn't want to look for any more, after all, they don't have a lot of money now.

Although there were still a lot of "ill-gotten gains" back then, he planned to keep them for his two sons to marry, as the son of the prince, he naturally couldn't be too shabby when he got married, and the dowry of the house was indispensable.

……

The new mansion is not as grand as the Ankang Mansion in the capital, but it is also one of the best mansions in Nanyang Mansion, and their family lives more than enough.

Walking in the garden, Wang Quanquan looked at a few sycamores at the foot of the west wall and muttered to himself:

"It's a pity it's not autumn, otherwise it should be beautiful."

The servant on the side tugged at the corners of his mouth when he heard this, but did not speak.

At this time, Wang Qianying ran over and said:

"Dad, it's time to go to my uncle's house for dinner."

Wang Quanquan looked at the jade pendant that his son had tied to his waist, smiled, pulled the other party and walked out slowly.
