One hundred and fifty-one widows
From Sui Xing's experience, Wu Zheng can't help but think of Duan Qichang, the shopkeeper of the bookstore in Causeway City.
Sui Xing is the first person Wu Zheng met after escaping from Wujiabao, and he can be regarded as his benefactor in front of him, and Duan Qichang is undoubtedly the second. If Wu Gan can find Sui Xing, it is very likely to find Duan Qichang.
Just when Wu Zheng wanted to send Wu Gang to Tongluo County to see if the bookstore next to the county school was still open, and to see if Duan's family was safe, a visitor from the government came to the mansion that Wu Zheng did not expect.
It's none other than Shuntianfu Silk Lane, Miss Zhen Yu'er of Zhen Qingshen's family, that is, Qinglian's cousin.
Wu Zheng was appointed as the school of Linshan Mansion at the end of February, and returned to Linshan City at the end of March to take office. Without asking, it can be seen that there is no other possibility except for the news revealed by Wu Gan.
Hearing the report of the officials, Wu Zheng personally greeted him out of the gate of the palace.
"Miss Yu'er has worked hard all the way. β
"The folk woman Li Zhen's Yu'er knocked on Lord Wu. β
It's just pretending, and without waiting for him to salute Wu Zheng stretched out his hand to help him, Zhen Yuer took advantage of the situation and stood up straight.
"Miss Yu'er, please go to the back hall and rest. β
When he came to the back hall and sat down, Wu Zheng couldn't help but take a few careful glances at Zhen Yuer, who was not dusty. It is said that the eighteenth change of the female university, when I saw Zhen Yuer in Shuntian City, she was only a seventeen-year-old girl, but now four years later, the twenty-one-year-old Zhen Yuer looks even more beautiful, and the femininity on her body is especially obvious.
Just now I heard Zhen Yuer report that she said that she was "Li Zhen's people's woman", which means that she is married. Although Zhen Yuer is a closed disciple of Master Huatou Tuo Xingyun in the Western Regions, and she can be regarded as a martial arts person, after all, after marrying into an ordinary family, she must also abide by women's morals and teach her husband and children at home. It's right to be filial to Aunt Weng, how can you go out at will, and come to such a distant mountain city alone?
Although there were doubts in his heart, Wu Zheng still asked first:
"I don't know if Mr. Zhen's family has always been fine?"
"There is Lord Lao Wu who is concerned, and the uncle and aunt are all good. β
I don't know if Zhen Yuer did it on purpose, but she didn't mention Qinglian, who Wu Zheng cared about the most. I have to ask one more question:
"Sister Qinglian is good?"
"Lian'er also got married two months ago. β
I heard the news that Qinglian was married. Wu Zheng's heart was somewhat empty, and he couldn't help but be silent for a moment.
Lian'er has been waiting for Lord Wu to go back, but she can't stand the persuasion of the uncle and the uncle, so she made a marriage after last autumn, and on the sixth day of March this year, the Wang family's son's mansion tried to win the wedding after the show. β
"Oh, that's fine. I wonder if Miss Yu'er came to Linshan City by the way, or if there is something else?"
"It's specially for Lord Wu. β
"What do you mean by that?"
After listening to Zhen Yuer's narration. Wu Zheng understood. It turned out that Zhen Yuer was scheduled to get married four years ago, that is, in August after Wu Zheng went to Shuntianfu, but at the end ******of July, her fiancΓ© Li Jiagongzi suddenly fell ill and died. Constrained by etiquette, even if it is just a marriage, the girl is already a member of her mother-in-law's family, so Zhen Yuer has become a widow.
At home, he kept filial piety for his dead husband for three years and participated in the marriage of his cousin Qinglian. Zhen Yuer, who was in a depressed mood, said goodbye to her parents and went all the way south from Shuntian City. One is to relax, and the other is to go to Woyun Temple in the western suburbs of the capital to visit Master Xingyun.
From the mouth of Master Xingyun of Huatou Tuo Xingyun in the Western Regions, Zhen Yuer learned the news of Wu Zheng, so after living in Woyun Temple for a short time, she went south again and went to Linshan City to join Wu Zheng, who was already a scholar and a politician.
"Is Master Xingyun okay?"
In fact. Since leaving Woyun Temple, Wu Zheng has been worried about the safety of Master Xingyun, especially worried that Wu Gan will go back to take revenge on Master Xingyun, who has become disabled.
"The master's condition is not good, and his health is not getting worse day by day. I really didn't expect that Senior Brother Wu Gan would be such a person. β
originally thought that Zhen Yuer learned about herself from Wu Gan and listened to Zhen Yuer's words. But he has to be a master of his own cloud. Wu Zheng really couldn't judge whether Zhen Yuer's words were true or false for a while. However, after thinking about it, whether it was driven by Wu Gan or not, although there was a certain risk of leaving Zhen Yu'er by his side, he might also know Wu Gan's traces because of this.
Immediately, Wu Zheng asked Wu Gang to send Zhen Yuer back to her home in Yonglin Lane, and vacated the room of Xiaomei, the maid who returned to Jiangning Mansion with Tie Ning, and let Zhen Yuer live.
On the second day of Zhen Yu'er's arrival, the successor officials of Linshan Mansion selected by the imperial court arrived one after another. At the same time, there were also a few servants of the Ministry of Officials. Especially the holy decree in Zhang Jidao's hand was really beyond Wu Zheng's expectations.
"I heard that the new academic administrator of Linshan Mansion, the new science explorer Wu Zheng, has been very diligent since he took office. Ning Yunju, the assistant inspector, was able to break through the various illegal actions of officials of the Linshan Mansion, such as Yin Sima Cen Ji of the previous government, and brought disaster to the country and the people, and performed extraordinarily in the position of acting government Yin. Therefore, Wu Zheng, who was promoted to the school and politics of Linshan Mansion, was promoted to the Yin of the Wupin Mansion of Linshan Mansion and oversaw the government affairs of a government.
In addition, in view of the fact that in recent years, the government examination and the township examination in Linshan Mansion have been corrupted by Sima Cen Ji and others for personal gain, resulting in the students of Hefu being deeply affected. In order to give justice to the students of Guangzhou University and to the people of the world, it is scheduled to be held on June 20 in Tekai Enke, Linshan Province. The chief examiner of the official department has a few zhangs, the deputy chief examiner of Linshan Mansion Yin Wu Zheng, and the deputy chief examiner of Linshan Prefecture Shi Zhu Hongming.
Chin this. β
Unexpected, too unexpected. According to the words of the Ministry of Officials, it is that there has never been anything since the founding of the country.
"Lord Wu, congratulations. β
"I'm scared, I'm scared. Chapter Lord is polite, please. β
After reading the decree, the two came to the back hall and sat down.
Although Zhang Jidao is a fourth-grade and a Beijing official, Wu Zheng, who is only eighteen-year-old, is already a fifth-grade mansion Yin. Over time, if you follow this rate of promotion, I am afraid that it will exceed a few chapters in a few years. Therefore, Zhang Jidao did not put on the shelf of the Beijing official at all, and the atmosphere was naturally extremely harmonious.
Wu Zheng knew in his heart that he was able to rise to prominence, thanks to his uncle Ning Yunju and grandfather Ning Zezhong. I don't know how my uncle pushed the credit for the Linshan Mansion case on himself in the recital he wrote to the emperor. Of course, as the right prime minister's grandfather, Ning Zezhong, must also have good words around the emperor.
"Lord Wu, now the capital is boiling. Not to mention anything else, just by asking the official about Lord Wu's age and life experience, there are no less than dozens. β
Wu Zheng didn't understand the meaning of Zhang Jidao's words, and hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"It's not a secret, the students have already made up their minds. β
"Oh, this is too unexpected. Why have you never heard of Lord Wu mentioning it? I wonder which young lady is so blessed?"
Wu Zheng thought to himself, counting this meeting only three times in total, is it possible to mention that he has already made a marriage? It's really not good to tell Zhang Jidao, after all, Wu Zheng is also embarrassed in his heart. One Tie Ning, one Yun Lan, how does he choose?
Because the other party is still young, he has never mentioned it in front of people. Please forgive me. β
Zhang Jidao, who originally had a look of disappointment on his face, heard this, and quickly returned to normal. (To be continued.) )
