Since Wuyuan Xiuning has made a big mess, after signing an alliance with Xue Chao before, Wang Shangning, who has been rushing to kill the front, immediately closed his door. Especially after hearing that Xue Chao was ill, the affairs of the yamen were represented by Yu Xiancheng, and Shuai Jiamo was nowhere to be seen, this old lady of Zhuchuan Wang not only had no appetite for eating, could not sleep, and even became silent. As for Wang Shangxuan, who was running around to contact the eunuchs and clans of Shexian County before, he was also like a deflated ball, returning to his hometown of Zhuchuan from Shexian County, but he was not a person who could hold back, and he spent most of the time fooling around outside.

As for the second old lady Wang Shangxian, his temperament is different from that of the eldest brother and the third brother, he is lazy and careless, but he is more free than the two brothers. And the children and grandchildren of the Wang family returned to their hometown because Wang Shangning was dismissed, and they could not enjoy the treatment of grace, so they could only study the imperial examination honestly, but they didn't know if it was bad luck or bad qualifications, and they didn't get a single talent in the past few years. Now that the grandparents are all angry, of course they don't dare to come forward to Wang Shangning and Wang Shangxuan, except for Wang Youmin.

A few years ago, in the turmoil of the annual examination, the third old lady Wang Shangxuan wanted to shirk his responsibility because of his anger, and broke the head of his grandson Wang Youmin, who he once valued a lot, Wang Youmin was not only dismissed from his reputation, but also paralyzed in bed again. After Wang Shangning learned about it, he angrily reprimanded Wang Shangxuan and moved the person to his side to take care of him. Now that so many days have passed, although Wang Youmin has regained his ability to act, but with such a setback, it is naturally impossible to be on the field. And what hit him even more was that Wang Fulin actually tried two hurdles in the Lianke Township Examination and passed the Jinshi examination. If it's only the top three, forget it, it's the top three!

Even if Wang Shangning made up for him. barely got a reputation for repentance. I found him another family business. But after Wang Youmin married his wife, he could only silently be responsible for welcoming and sending him to the Wang family's old house, and then do some miscellaneous things such as sorting out papers and books in Wang Shangning's study. It's not that he didn't think that the sea is wide and the sky is high and the birds can fly, so it is better to leave Huizhou to find a academy, or worship under a famous teacher, and see if he can make some gains after grinding, but Zhang Juzheng's rectification of academic politics is like a tight spell. He lost even the hope he had left.

If according to Zhang Juzheng's decree, all private academies in the world are strictly forbidden to be destroyed, although they have not been strictly enforced now, but what if he encounters a strict investigation by the government when he goes to study?

And his other cousins are not much better, because Zhang Juzheng has tightened the rope around the neck of the scholar, which means that the relatively easy test for Xiucai in the past has now become difficult.

At this moment, Wang Youmin is sending a guest on behalf of Wang Shangning, who is a eunuch who followed Wang Shangning closely during the previous Xia tax silk dispute. The other party is a person in the Jiajing period. After only one term as the chief bookkeeper, he returned to the township and never became an official again. After all. There are so many people in the whole world, where can there always be an official like Jinshi. Even so, every time Yin Shoushan came, Wang Shangning was still quite polite, and he greeted him at the second gate, and as for the journey from the second gate to the gate, it was handed over to Wang Youmin, the nephew.

Of course, among the eunuchs who are idle at home in She County, Yin Shoushan can only be regarded as a relatively low level, but Wang Fulin, on behalf of Wang Daokun, rushed in front of Wang Shangning and Wang Shangxuan's brothers, and those eunuchs with a relatively high level all went to visit and lobby one by one. Jiang Zhen, who used to be the political envoy of Guizhou Zuobu, Fang Hongjing, who used to be the right attendant of Nanjing's household department, and Cheng Dabin, who used to be a student of politics...... There were six or seven people in total, and Wang Shangning was stunned that he couldn't win them over, so he could only regard Yin Shoushan as an important ally. It's only now that Yin Shoushan has come, but not for anything else, just to ask if the messy situation before will implicate him!

"The wall is down and everyone is pushing it, it's really not fake at all!"

Wang Youmin thought so in his heart, but seeing that the gate was in sight, he didn't dare to slack off at all about Yin Shoushan, and he was very polite with a smile on his face. Such an attitude could not appease Yin Shoushan's sensitive nerves, because just now Wang Shangning had been playing Tai Chi for a long time, but there was no guarantee that the imperial court would even settle the accounts with them. Therefore, he suddenly couldn't help but stop and asked, "What does the old lady mean?" I came out to help in response to his request before, but now he can't say anything, doesn't this make me go back and be afraid? ”

Unexpectedly, Yin Shoushan would pester himself as a junior, Wang Youmin was naturally quite annoyed, but he had to say patiently: "Master Yin, my uncle and grandfather have already said that this matter was caused by the chaotic people, and we are just fighting to go to the government on the basis of reason, where can it be related to the four words that provoked the people's uprising......"

"But he should know, Shuai Jiamo has run away, and there must be a scapegoat next, isn't it our noisy suffering?"

"Master Yin, please calm down......

"Calm down, what is calm, as soon as I think of the catastrophe coming, my scalp is numb and trembling, you said it lightly, have you forgotten what it was like to be thrown out by your own grandfather?"

The biggest pain in his life was poked all at once, and Wang Youmin only felt that his whole heart was pinched. He wanted to get rid of the guy in front of him who had a lot of money at first, but now he was timid and scared, but he knew that it was impossible. He could only try his best to suppress the anger in his heart, but if he wanted to comfort Yin Shoushan, it would be impossible again. But at this moment, a neutral voice came from the gate.

"Why, the old patriarch of our Zhukou Cheng clan can't even enter the door of your Zhuchuan Wang clan's mansion now?"

The old patriarch of the Cheng clan in Zhukou!

Wang Youmin gasped when he landed, and he couldn't care about Yin Shoushan anymore. You must know that in the land of Zhuchuan, the most famous are the Cheng and Wang families, among which the Wang family is also divided into two branches, the Zhuchuan Wang family and the Zhukou Wang family, and the right to speak is scattered, unlike the Cheng family, which is flourishing and prosperous. If Wang Shangning was in office at the beginning, he could still be afraid of Cheng, but now he can't snub the other party at this juncture. So, he immediately left Yin Shoushan and went to the gate, and saw that there was a group of more than a dozen people in front of the door, and the old man in front of the head was not Cheng Shihong, the patriarch of the Cheng clan in Zhukou?

That is the cousin of Wang Shangning's stepfather Cheng Sixun, who is not very old, but according to his generation. Wang Shangning still wants to call Uncle Shi. Wang Youmin is his great-grandchild. This is only sixty-five this year. When he was young, he was a martial arts student, and when he was old, he was still a brute force. Since the patriarch of the Cheng clan in Zhukou has been replaced by this one, just listening to his loud voice on weekdays is already a torture thing for the dead!

Despite his suspicions, Wang Youmin hurriedly walked a few steps forward and asked with a smile on his face, "Why is the old patriarch here?" My uncle and grandfather would be glad to know that you were coming. ”

"Happy? I'm afraid that he won't be happy to know that I'm here today. But I'm not going to see him today, I want to see Wang Shangxuan and let that kid come out for me! ”

I heard that Cheng Shihong actually called his grandfather a boy. Wang Youmin's complexion changed suddenly. Although after the incident back then, the relationship between him and Wang Shangxuan's ancestors and grandchildren was almost faint to the extreme, and it can even be said that they hate each other, and they can't see each other, and he is full of resentment, avoiding Wang Shangxuan all the time, but when he hears people mention his grandfather in such a tone, he is still furious in his heart. He tried his best to calm himself down, but the smile on his face was put away, and he said without humility or arrogance: "Old patriarch, it's not a coincidence. Today my grandfather went out. ”

"Gone out? Also, he has always been the most advantageous and avoidance of disadvantages. It's not the first time that all the bad things are left to others, didn't you have bad luck last time? ”

Cheng Shihong's voice was still like a gong, loud and loud, seeing Wang Youmin's stiff face, he said regardless of it: "He's not here, I'll tell you." Zhuchuan Wang's is Zhuchuan Wang's, and Zhukou Cheng's is Zhukou Cheng's, when did he dare to criticize our Zhukou Cheng's? Qiu Cheng returned to his hometown to be widowed for many years, taking care of his nephew and nephew's daughter-in-law, teaching his nephew, and the younger generations of the clan are all respectful, and now her husband's family patriarch wants to set up an heir for her. ”

Wang Youmin didn't expect Cheng Shihong to be angry in public at the door, and he said such a thing that he had never heard of at all, let alone understand, and he was extremely embarrassed. But before he could speak, Yin Shoushan, who he had sent before, had already come to him, and asked with a frown: "What is the third old lady doing to meddle in the matter of the Cheng family's heir?" ”

Cheng Shihong was waiting for this question, and immediately yelled back angrily: "Xiao Qi, come up and tell me what's going on!" ”

Following the words of the old patriarch of the Cheng family, Aunt Cheng's nephew stepped forward with her in his arms, but said bluntly: "My aunt has been widowed for forty years, and her only son died before she got married. This time, the patriarch of the Qiu clan came over on purpose, wanting to set up an heir for his aunt, and the matter was almost decided, but today people came to recognize their relatives, but because of the bad things bewitched by the third old lady of the Wang family, my aunt was deceived by him! The heir of the bad guy, what does this mean, dare to ask you Zhuchuan Wang Shi understand? You have to give an explanation today! ”

Yin Shoushan became more and more confused the more he listened, and couldn't help but look at Wang Youmin: "What does the third old lady think, shouldn't this kind of thing be the beauty of adults?" ”

You ask me, who do I ask! Wang Youmin secretly scolded in his heart, but he had to look at Wang Shangxuan on the surface, and said stubbornly: "Grandfather may think that the heir's character is flawed......"

"Flawed character? I think it's because Qiu Feng is a student recognized by Wang Fulin in Songming Mountain, so Wang Shangxuan's kid is not happy, so he deliberately wants to mess things up! ”

It was only at this time that Wang Youmin suddenly realized, no wonder his grandfather would intervene in the affairs of the Cheng family, but it turned out that it was because it involved the former domestic slave in Wang Fulin's family who had already won the show! He wanted to be sarcastic, but in the face of the popular faces of the Cheng family outside, and then thinking about the situation of his uncle Wang Shangning, he could only choose to remain silent. After all, he really didn't know anything about it.

And Yin Shoushan didn't care so much, his eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Is it the one who studied with the adopted son of Wang Fulin of Songming Mountain, and the one who entered the school in the early Dao examination?" I heard that people are not only very good at reading, but also very capable, what books are in the Green Field Book Garden, wear and tear and other things, he has been in charge, I used to go to the Green Field Book Garden and also took a photo, is a good boy who is delicate and square. It seems that he was sold by his parents at the beginning, Wang Fulin returned his deed, but he didn't expect to find another person to succeed him, which is all wrapped in round pipes with one hand and one foot. ”

Even Yin Shoushan, a person from the Wang family, said this, and Aunt Cheng only felt even more regretful. Thinking that Wang Fulin said before that she wanted to come here to ask for a cup of tea, she said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask Wang Gongzi if he is here?" If so, let me make amends to him, and regret that I should not have listened to people sow discord and said rude things to them. I don't expect him to change his mind, but I will try my best to make up for it, at least tell other people in the six counties of Huizhou that if there are such evil words and slander again, they should spit back in front of them! ”

Seeing that Cheng Shihong, the old patriarch of the Cheng clan in Zhukou, and the other members of the Cheng clan were all there to echo him, Wang Youmin was dumbfounded. How could these people think that Wang Fulin was in their own home? What are you kidding, the hatred between the two families is so big, it is impossible to laugh at the enmity, how could Wang Fulin come here? He reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "You think it's a misunderstanding, Wang Fulin didn't come to Wang's house......

Before he could finish his words, someone in the other side of the car shouted, "Huh? Look over there, isn't Old Lady Xun here? ”

Cheng Shihong turned his head to look and saw that it was Cheng Sixun sitting on a sliding pole, and there were a few strangers on horseback next to him, but Cheng Sixun's grandson Cheng Xiangyuan did not come, and he was suddenly a little puzzled. When he got closer, he only heard Aunt Cheng call Wang Gongzi, and then he understood, but he really sighed in his heart that it was Wang Fulin, and his name was well deserved.

If it were someone else, who would be able to think of Cheng Sixun, the stepfather of Wang Shangning and Wang Shangxuan's brothers, immediately after encountering this kind of thing, and invite this old lady who is over eighty years old? You must know that Cheng Sixun is certainly dissatisfied with the three stepsons in his heart, but after all, he is unlikely to show it to outsiders!

And Cheng Sixun, who was personally supported by Wang Fulin, stood at the door of the Wang family's mansion with mixed feelings. After all, it was the first time he had come here with a knot. Seeing Cheng Shihong coming forward, he bowed his head and hurriedly said, "Brother Hong, don't say anything." The first Wang Gongzi and his party came to visit my house, and when they heard that you had gone to Wang's house, I happened to have heard what was going on, so I immediately invited their family to come with me. So far, I don't want to say anything, the son doesn't teach, the father's fault, if you want to blame me. ”
