Chapter 792: Pheasant Hanlin
Xu Hao arrived in Changsha and chose to stay in an ordinary inn for two days, and on this day he was walking in the market in front of the inn, and suddenly someone shouted: "Brother Xu! ”
Xu Hao was puzzled, and said to himself: "When I first came here, I didn't know a person, which one is this?" ”
Turning his head in the crowd, he saw a middle-aged man of thirty-six or seventeen years old, who came over and said, "Why did you get here?" Don't you even recognize me? ”
Seeing that Xu Hao was still confused, the man smiled and said: "I'm Wu Jing, a few years older than you, we have been classmates for many years, and I have also instructed you in your studies." ”
Xu Hao suddenly said: "Oh, it turned out to be Brother Wu!" By the way, a few years ago, you were admitted to the Jinshi and came to Changsha to be an official. ”
"Haha!" Wu Jing took Xu Hao's hand and laughed, "Let's go, my family lives in front, go to me." ”
The people in the vicinity are very envious, they still meet the official master when they meet their old acquaintances in other places, and they are such a bold and hospitable person, they are really lucky.
Xu Hao followed him to the mansion located on a quiet street, and when he arrived at the study, Wu Jing's wife Li Shi walked out, knelt down on one knee in front of him, and said excitedly: "My subordinates meet my son." ”
"Get up." Xu Hao smiled and stretched out his hand to help, "This time I came to the long shirt, and I had to have Lao Xian and his wife." ”
"It is a blessing for my husband and wife to be able to do things for the court and the son." Liu got up with a smile, as if he was Xu Hao's maid, with a respectful expression.
Wu Jingyi said respectfully: "It's inconvenient to live in the inn, the study has already set up a bed, please live here." ”
"It's good!" Xu Hao walked in to see the environment, was very satisfied, sat down and asked, "When I came, I heard the official on the ship talk about pheasant Hanlin, tell me about it." ”
"Yes!" Wu Jing and his wife looked at each other and smiled, walked over and sat on both sides, "This matter has to start from the beginning, there are many private prostitutes in the south gate of Changsha, and there is a man from the countryside who has taken a fancy to a prostitute." The name is Osmanthus, and it speaks an authentic northern dialect. The man spent a tael of silver and stayed overnight, and when he was about to leave the next morning, the osmanthus was sent to the door and told him to come in the evening.
This was originally the mantra of the prostitute entertaining guests, the man believed it to be true, and went in the evening, and the osmanthus had guests who had no time to separate themselves at night, and the man sat bored for a while and left. He has a very good temper. ”
Before leaving, Osmanthus said casually: "Come tomorrow", and tomorrow, the man really went again, ate tea and snacks, spent a tael of silver and did nothing, and left.
Osmanthus asked him to come tomorrow, and the next day, he came again. Osmanthus left him to sleep for a night, and spent two taels of silver. When he got up at dawn, Osmanthus asked him for a gold ring, but it was only three days. He really took a gold ring and went, so far the osmanthus was quite moved, and his attitude couldn't help but be affectionate, and asked him what he did for a living.
The man doesn't hide it either. He said he was a silversmith and walked the streets. Ask him how much he can earn in a month? He said about two taels of silver. Osmanthus said in surprise: "So, you gave me the ring." Going to cost you half a year of savings? ”
The man said, "It doesn't matter, it's just something outside the body." ”
Osmanthus said: "Why don't you become an official? ”
The man smiled: "We countrymen, where do we dare to have that kind of extravagant hope?" ”
"Do you have a wife?"
"There is one, but unfortunately my life is hard, she was killed in less than two years, and she has no son and half daughter."
"Really?"
"It's true, what am I lying to you?"
"Hmm!" Osmanthus nodded lightly and said, "I advise you to be an official, then you will be decent and honorable." ”
The man laughed and said, "It's already great luck if I can make a few more money, being an official?" I can't even think about it. ”
Osmanthus swept her eyes and said, "I want you to follow me and make you an official." ”
The man said: "Don't tell jokes, but you say it, I will do it for you if I can do it." ”
Osmanthus said slowly: "As long as you marry me to fill the house, you are not allowed to marry anyone else in this life." ”
The man laughed and asked, "It's a pity that I can't afford to marry you, I don't know how much silver I want?" ”
"Phew!" Osmanthus took a sip and looked proud, "I am my own body, no one cares about me, I can marry whoever I want, should you buy a girl?" ”
"Really?" The man was very surprised, got up and said, "If you really marry me, I will swear not to marry someone else?" ”
"Seriously?"
"Naturally, we countrymen never lie."
At that moment, Osmanthus asked someone to close the door, and no longer accepted customers, and explained that the next person was in charge of the man as the master, and he became his wife.
Xu Hao was quite interested when he heard this, and sure enough, there was a heroine from Hongchen since ancient times, could it be that this osmanthus came through time? I can't bear to open the door to welcome guests in loneliness, taste the handsome guys all over the world, and then meet a man who can control zhì, honestly, and talented on the bed, and is determined to help him embark on the road to soaring?
Liu has been observing the expression of his boss, she is one of the secret spies left by Zhu Yuanzhang to Xu Hao, since Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di hung up successively, Xu Hao secretly received all the hands, and did not continue to control zhì, but let them change their faces and live again, who knew that this would win the hearts of the people, although the team was scattered, the hearts of the people were not dispersed.
Xu Hao's identity and status are there, which is also an important reason why the following will not fall apart, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and everyone understands the shallow truth.
Liu's heart is very excited, the son can come to Hunan, and come to his own home, it is really an unavoidable luck, good life to help him do things, not to worry about no rich returns, the sisters don't know how envious.
Wu Jing continued to tell that it didn't take long for Osmanthus to take the man to the capital, every day the man had nothing to do all day long, sitting in the house, but Osmanthus was running around in a sedan chair outside, and the man didn't dare to ask her what to do.
The man who became an official was like a dream, and he didn't even understand what the officialdom was like, and he went to Hangzhou with her, and Osmanthus took out a letter and asked him to hand it over to the prefect in person.
At that time, the prefect saw that the man's speech and behavior were strange, and he was not a scholar at all, so he did not interrogate him despite his suspicions, and said: "There are very few vacancies in Hangzhou, and there is no appointment of officials. In this way, you might as well go back to your hometown Hunan first, and the official will keep an eye on you here, and if you have any good errands, I will take care of you again. ”
The confused man resigned and told the osmanthus flower. Osmanthus said: "There is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay here, then let's go to Hunan, this prefect is good, I have more ways to do it in my hometown." ”
So the two of them returned to Changsha and met the political envoy, who read the letter, and had the same concerns as the prefect of Hangzhou, but he didn't think it was a big deal, so he just put an idle post casually, and politely entertained.
Unexpectedly, the couple didn't understand the rules of officialdom, thinking that the political envoy didn't agree if he didn't promise in person, so they ran to ask to see the envoy and handed over a letter anyway.
This inspector is a shrewd person, and when he sees someone, he really doesn't look like a person, and he doesn't say anything else, so he asks him to write a resume, but he can't write it, and he acts, speaks, and sees courtesy, none of which is not an eyesore, he is just an ordinary countryman, and he immediately ordered someone to investigate.
Soon the investigation became clear, and it turned out that Osmanthus was the daughter of a wet nurse in Ning Wangfu, and she had been a maid in the palace since she was a child. Although Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, has no power, he is the first among all kings in terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation, and the mother and daughter have accumulated a lot of money in their hands.
Osmanthus has a very high vision, and when a girl is just a little girl, she is very unwilling, but who wants to marry a girl from Ning Wangfu? Therefore, the mother and daughter discussed together, asked Osmanthus to return to her hometown to choose a son-in-law, and then asked for a name on his behalf. Moreover, Zhu Quan's temperament is becoming more and more indifferent and quiet, and his talent is full of talent, and he is deeply respected by Zhu Gaochi, and he can be said to respond to the needs of those around him.
Osmanthus is shrewd and capable, about a good woman likes to accompany a clumsy husband, and chose an honest man like a man. Although his mother-in-law even begged for him to take the confused Enmeng official position, and asked for a letter of recommendation, he himself was not angry, he didn't know a single big word, and he was ignorant and stiff, who would dare to use him?
Even Zhu Quan realized that something was wrong, and quickly sent someone to explain, fortunately, according to the envoy and Ning Wangfu, he wrote a letter to inquire first, otherwise it would be a big trouble to impeach him directly, whether it is Enmeng or recommendation, at least there is a minimum standard.
According to the envoy, he understood the reason, so he personally went to visit the political envoy to explain, and ordered the man to take sick leave to go home by himself, so as not to be impeached and save his reputation. Although Osmanthus was boring, after all, she also made herself a six-grade wife, and since then there have been jokes about pheasant Hanlin in the officialdom.
Xu Hao smiled, it seems that Osmanthus is not a traverser, otherwise it would be impossible for such a smart person not to train her husband without pouring ducks, and then come out to run for office, blindly relying on Ning Wangfu, doing things too recklessly.
Wu Jing said again: "Son, this is just that Osmanthus picked the wrong person, and it turned out to be like this, that Osmanthus is a girl, and she has been a bitch, and she still wants to be an official's wife, which is already very funny." There is also a wife who is willing to be a bitch, which is even funnier to say. ”
Xu Hao asked, "Let's hear it." ”
Wu Jing said: "This is last year's thing, the right political envoy was sick, he has been romantic all his life, and now at the age of Nuo, his seventeen or eighteen-year-old aunt has four or five rooms, and the girl who has a room is not included." Lust is famous, and some people want to take the opportunity to stammer, saying that they know how to heal.
The adult asked him to go to check the pulse, and the young official diagnosed it for a long time and said, "My lord, the lower officials dare not prescribe a prescription indiscriminately, but the lower officials can be cured." ”
The adult said, "It turns out that Mrs. Zun knows medical science, so please come and see it tomorrow." ”
On the second day, the official's wife, dressed in fancy clothes, came to check the pulse and said, "This disease can be cured without taking medicine, just by massage." ”
The adult asked her where there was someone who was proficient in massage, and the lady whispered, "The concubine knows a lot." (To be continued......)
