"Hurry, hurry, hurry up and load everything into the car, you won't be long-sighted if you're lazy on weekdays?"

A sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked steward was shouting in the courtyard, and he was busy with his work, but he didn't miss greetings in his heart.

"The master is out, quickly carry the sedan chair over!"

A voice came from behind, and the steward hurriedly trotted over, and was confronted by an old man in silk and satin, with his hands behind his back, full of style.

"Jin Fu, are you ready?"

The steward named Jin Fu bent over, his upper body was almost parallel to the ground, and replied with a raised face: "It's all ready, you can get up at any time." ”

"Let's go, then. ”

"Get up the sedan chair!"

The Lord Wang in their mouths is Wang Shouren's father, Wang Hua. There are many adults surnamed Wang in Jinling City, but the only one who can climb the relationship between the Wang family in the north of their city is Wang Hua.

On the way, Jin Fu asked: "Master, didn't we just go to Lord Wang's mansion two months ago, and now it's not a New Year or a festival, why do you go again and bring so many gifts......

The small curtain of the sedan chair was raised, and Wang Bosheng lowered his voice and said: "I went two months ago to offer condolences, but this time I went to report good news." ”

"Annunciation...... The royal son has just died two months ago, even if there is a happy event, I'm afraid it's not good for us to go with such fanfare, right?"

"What do you know? Last night, I heard Lao Li say that Wang Shouren was not dead at all, he had already sent a letter back home, and he would be home today. ”

"Ahh......h

Wang Shouren is indeed not dead, he went ashore last night and has already arrived at Zhenjiang Mansion, even if he walks slowly, he should arrive at Jinling City today. The news was spread by Lu Chuan to Leng Longling's brothers, and it has spread all over Jinling City these days, and Wang Bosheng is too late to know.

"I don't know the specifics, but I think my uncle made a mistake. That's fine, I can go twice in the name of justice, and I hope I can get him to say something and find a job for Zhengjun. ”

"As the saying goes, take people's hands softly, eat people's mouths softly, Lord Wang doesn't accept gifts on weekdays, since he has received gifts, how can there be no reason not to do things. But...... The small ones heard that the Ministry of War had opened a case of paying silver to supplement the military position, and those who were willing to pay silver to confer military posts were actually given 150 taels to 100 households, 200 taels to 1,000 deputy households, 250 taels to 1,000 households, 400 taels to command the officer, 450 taels to the commander, 500 taels to the commander, and 600 taels to the commander. We have a lot of young masters in Jinling who have made up for military attachés, so the villain thought to himself, isn't Lord Wang having something to do with Eunuch Liu in the capital, and the master might as well buy a military attache for the young master......"

Wang Bosheng glanced at Jin Fu, "Can't I think of anything you can think of?"

"The small ones are mouthy, the small ones are mouthy. ”

"Alas...... How can there be such a good thing in the world; first, there are people in the court who are good at being officials, but they can't cling to big people, and they can't be officials in their whole lives; second, the Ming Dynasty emphasized literature and light military force, and there were tens of thousands of military attachés in the whole country, but except for the border generals, most of the rest lived at home, and they did not have the slightest authority in their hands, and there was not a single soldier under them. Besides, if you become a military attaché, you will be admitted to the military, and if you don't do the military department, you can't get out of the military, and you have to join the army from generation to generation, and my Wang family will never recover. ”

"It turns out that there are still these truths, and the old man is wise. ”

"And don't look at my uncle's resignation at home, he is different from others. He was the champion of Chenghua for 17 years, and he served as the Japanese lecturer of today's son during the Hongzhi period, which was the emperor's teacher. With his relationship with Banzai, even Eunuch Liu can't do anything to him. I heard from people in my uncle's house that Eunuch Liu took a small mistake in the "Daming Huidian" compiled by my uncle and participated in my uncle's book, but Banzai didn't pay attention to it, because my uncle felt that the court was troublesome, so he wrote to the office. In other words, if he wants to be an official, as long as he gives Banzai another letter, at least one of the books is still there. ”

Jin Fu was shocked when he heard this.

What they say, whether it's true or biased, doesn't matter, it's just rumors.

But at the same time, there are people on the other side who are also talking about Wang Hua.

"Senior brother, hurry up and go, don't buy anything. ”

"Senior brother, don't worry, we will definitely be able to get home today. ”

"I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about ...... Look, how do you get this big bag and small bag?"

"It's not strange to have a lot of people. ”

Wang Shouren was happy, "The ceremony here is the gift of the number of rites, not the gift of gifts." You said that our senior brothers, what is the difference between my family and yours, you are doing such a life......

"Hey, isn't a gift a gift? Lu Chuan took two large bags of things from the store next to him, and said with a smile, "Senior brother doesn't know, this is the younger brother's admiration for his uncle, can't be light, can't be light." ”

"My dad doesn't know martial arts. ”

"What are these words, could it be that the little brother only understands martial arts and doesn't understand anything else?"

Wang Shouren grinned and continued to laugh: "Could it be that the junior brother still knows how to learn? If the junior brother tells his father about your 'Zhu Zi's lewd and evil theory', it is estimated that my father will be angry on the spot." ”

"Uh...... Senior brother, don't make fun of my little brother, I've heard a few rumors about my uncle, whether it's true or not. One is that the uncle was playing by the river when he was six years old, and saw a drunk man who was clean and full, and when he left, he left the money bag on the river, and opened it to see that there were dozens of taels of gold in it, and the uncle was afraid that others would take it away after seeing it, so he threw the money bag in the water, and sat on the bank and waited, and the owner really found it, and after taking back the money bag, he rewarded him with a tael of gold, but the uncle said, I am not greedy for your dozens of taels of gold, can I ask you for a tael?"

"This story is very popular in my hometown, and I don't think it will be false. ”

There is also a saying that after the uncle finished teaching in Qiyang, he said goodbye to Qiyang Wenyou and prepared to go home to participate in the township test. The uncle was so shocked that he begged for a boat, and finally removed the door panel and returned to the water. ”

"A few years ago, a friend of my father's old friend came to my house as a guest and talked about it. ”

"Haha, then I don't need to say the rest anymore, it must be true. Senior brother, you see, if you can be like your uncle, no one in the world will be able to say anything that you don't like, right?"

"You still don't believe in Zhu Zi's character?"

"Hey, how can I talk about him, I'm not talking about uncle. Alas...... The greed of the world is nothing more than the word wealth, and the desire for profit is consumed, but it is said that wealth is also nature, and the body is not right, not that the body is not in the heart. ”

Wang Shouren also sighed: "If everyone in the world can be as forgiving and honest as Master and Father, there will be no disaster in the world." ”

"The two old men have read enough books to bury me several times, how can they compare?"

“......”

The two of them arrived at the gate of the palace as they spoke, and when they saw a sedan chair parked at the door, Wang Shouren couldn't help but have some doubts, so he asked the people next to the sedan chair: "How many big brothers, dare to ask, I don't know whose sedan chair this is?"

Wang Shouren asked, because his father said when he resigned, "From now on you can avoid disaster", and then cut off contact with the people who are officials, but the Ming Dynasty has regulations on the sedan chair, Hongwu Yongle during the people and ministers dare not take the sedan chair, orthodox civil officials and elderly officials can take the sedan chair, since Jingtai since the two Beijing five grades or more are all sedan chairs. Therefore, in November of the fifteenth year of Chenghua, the eunuch Wang Zhi begged to strictly prohibit civil and military people from riding in a sedan chair, and only those who were over 60 years old could take a sedan chair, and military attachés were not allowed. But the six waiters are the third products, and the news of his home has just spread, and it is not a good thing to park such a small sedan chair in front of the house.

The sedan chair man sat on the railing and lifted the bar, raised his eyes and looked Wang Shouren up and down, and when he saw that it was a scholar, he replied: "Oh, this is our lord, the sedan chair of the Wang family in the north of the city." ”

Why would they be polite to scholars? It is by no means that the subordinates of the Wang family are more polite than the ordinary subordinates of rich and noble families, but they dare not provoke scholars. In fact, don't say it's them, even if it's their master, they don't dare to mess with it.

There are five examinations in the imperial examination: children's examination, hospital examination, township examination, meeting examination, and palace examination, and the county and government examinations are called children's examinations, and those who have passed the examination are children, and children can be masters, gentlemen, and courtiers; the government and state colleges hold the hospital examinations, and those who have passed the examination are students, that is, they are often called "show talents"; at this level, they are not ordinary people, but "scholars", and at the same time there will be many "benefits", such as officials should be treated with courtesy, but students do not have to kneel when they see officials, and so on; Autumn Rites, once every three years, the quota is allocated by the imperial court, ranging from tens to more than 100, the record is to raise people, from here you can be an official; the Beijing Rite Department held a meeting examination, also known as the Spring Ceremony, the rite of the two, three hundred people, or awarded to low-level officials, or into the country as a prisoner, all have a fortune; finally the cabinet is scheduled, the emperor hand-picked called the palace examination, only the ranking is not degraded, the first champion, the list eye, the three people, the first and the first, the first and the first, the second class is given to the Jinshi background, the third class is given to the same Jinshi background, the first class and the excellent enter the Hanlin Academy. Like Wang Hua, it is the champion of Xinchouke in the seventeenth year of Chenghua, the champion and the first will be awarded to Hanlin for revision, Wang Shouren is the twelfth year of Hongzhi Jinshi, the second person in Nangong, the seventh place in the second class Jinshi, and the Ministry of Political Affairs. But their father and son are the top of the literature, where do ordinary people jump over this dragon gate? But it doesn't matter if they are as good as them, just take the student and say, the exam is not too difficult, at least not too difficult, and even if you can't pass the exam, as long as there is a few bad money in the family, you can buy one, don't look at it is not an official, you have to fight a lawsuit with others, people stand in the hall, the old man has to bow his hand to others, a pair of left and right, the reader must be towards the reader, the big man slapped the shocking wood, okay, the lawsuit is lost, why bother? But this is to say, but all people who read books generally understand etiquette, to put it bluntly, kindly. If you don't choke, it's okay, so such a person is also obedient, if you don't have stubble, why not do it if you are convenient for me?
