However, Cheng Naixuan came to ask about his thoughts during lunch the next day, and then took his wife, Miss Xu. When he found that there were square tables in the Ming Hall, a copper hot pot was set up, and then plates of fresh vegetables, mushrooms, and bright red hands cut beef and lamb were placed there, he felt like he was hungry for a lot, and a green light appeared in his eyes. Uninvited, he moved two chairs quickly, first, one was asked by Miss Xu to sit down, and then one was placed under his butt, and he started to yell.

"I have a share of the meeting. I haven't eaten enough after entering Beijing!" After saying this, he was afraid that his wife would misunderstand, so he quickly explained, "I mean, under my father-in-law and mother-in-law's nose, I have to be more reserved, unlike when I was with Shuangmu."

Even after marriage, Miss Xu still did not lose her shyness. At this moment, Xiaobei gave Cheng Naixuan a blank look and pulled her to her side to sit. Then she said in a voice lighter than a mosquito: "Dad's life in the capital is very hard. Although it is not just cabbage and tofu every day, it is rare to see meat. My husband didn't dare to say a word when he saw his father again, so..."

Cheng Naixuan, you guys are today!

Wang Fulin was both angry and funny. Seeing that Cheng Naixuan just smiled embarrassedly, he immediately went out without any hesitation and asked someone to add dishes. When someone came back, he said with a smile: "Your father-in-law lived like this before, and was frugal, but your son-in-law has come to live with him. If you still let him live this life, aren't you afraid that people will say you are stingy and unfilial? If you don't say anything else, you live in your father-in-law's house and pay for the expenses. It's natural? Don't say that you are delicacies every day. But aren't you the fat chicken and big duck for your choice? You will ask a good cook to keep it at home. Just say that you are sympathetic to the cold weather and your father-in-law is old. Who dares to say you?"

Cheng Naixuan had never thought about it, but as long as he stood in front of his father-in-law, all his words would dissipate like ice and snow. At this moment, bowls, chopsticks and seasonings were delivered in. Seeing that the water in the pot had already rolled, he was a little angry and picked up a few slices of mutton and quickly rinsed it. After dipping the sauce plate into his mouth, he said helplessly: "Do you think I am you. Your father-in-law is like your father. No matter what you say, it's the first time I have seen my father-in-law after marriage, I always feel a little nervous. Rong'er, don't take it to your heart. There are few son-in-law who can be Shuangmu, and I dare not learn from him!"

Miss Xu nodded softly, without refuting or agreeing, but Xiaobei whispered to her and bit her ears, naturally persuading her to do it according to the advice of her husband just now. The two young couples were so fussy. Naturally, they quickly started to eat the steaming hot pot. After being half full, Cheng Naixuan began to ask Wang Fulin with interest. When he saw Zhang Juzheng yesterday, he heard that Zhang Siwei had also gone, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "Sir Zhang, the Chief Academy of Hanlin Academy? When he went out from the Xu family yesterday, it was almost noon after noon, and he actually went to the Chief Auxiliary's house to meet you again?"

Thinking of Wang Fulin's refutation to himself before, he said that he would not serve the old men in the Hanlin Academy and did not want to be the courtesan, he smiled gloatingly: "So, it's a blessing, it's a disaster, it's a disaster, you've gone to the home of the Chief Supervisor, but you still have to run into this Master Zhang, which shows that you're really destined to be."

Wang Fulin was too lazy to pay attention to Cheng Naixuan's teasing, so he smeared two slices of mutton and slowly tasted it. He calculated in his mind the time when he met Zhang Siwei in the Zhang Mansion before, and confirmed that he had left the Xu family and went to Zhang Mansion immediately. Then he suddenly looked at Cheng Naixuan and asked, "When Zhang Siwei went to your house yesterday, did you ask you something special?"

"What are you asking me? He is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and he is much higher than my father-in-law's grade. He said nothing to me in total. I thought about it, and asked me whether I went to Beijing alone or in partnership. I would be kind, so of course I would have to mention you a few words and say you are a child of the Wang family in Songmingshan. Then he asked, is he the nephew of Mr. Wang of the Ministry of War. That's it, he didn't ask me what I said later."

If Wang Fulin was just suspicious before, then after hearing Cheng Naixuan's words, he really became suspicious of Zhang Siwei's abnormality. Cheng Naixuan was a little surprised by his doubts. Xiaobei looked at him and knew that he was not against letting his friends know some joints. So he briefly introduced what happened to Wang Fulin had in the past few days since he arrived in the capital. As a result, Master Cheng no longer had to eat and jumped up.

"You don't even say such a big thing, you are really not a friend! You share the blessings and suffer the difficulties. I am not leaving 100,800 miles away. You don't call me in this capital!"

"It's not a fight. You can win if you have too many people." Wang Fulin picked up the chopsticks and grabbed a lot of slices of meat into Cheng Naixuan's bowl, and then he said, "Just based on the news you just said, I've helped a lot!"

Cheng Naixuan sat down angrily, stuffed his mouth full of mutton, but before he could swallow it, he heard the second half of the words and was stunned. He was not a fool, his head was very flexible, and he suddenly thought of some joint. After swallowing this pile of things easily, he put down his chopsticks and asked, "Do you doubt Zhang Siwei? No, he is from Puzhou, Shanxi, and he cares about the little things in our Huizhou Prefecture for nothing? Besides, he is serving as an official in a noble place like Hanlin Academy and Zhanshi Mansion. Why are you involved in this kind of tax and service dispute?"

"But Zhang Siwei is not just Zhang Siwei. His family is a top Shanxi merchant, and his uncle Wang Chonggu, who supervises the Beijing camp, also comes from a top Shanxi merchant family." Of course, Wang Fulin would not say that Zhang Siwei was the chief minister after Zhang Juzheng's death. If someone had not been unlucky to meet the same Ding You as Zhang Juzheng, and a group of close relatives at home died during Ding You's family, and in the end he died, he was afraid that Ming Shi would have to rewritten it. Seeing that Cheng Naixuan still didn't quite understand, he had not yet figured it out, so he simply changed the topic.

"Anyway, it's something that can't be found anyway. Besides, it's already been stolen. The Prime Minister knows it. Let's stop being idle. Eating shabu shabu is serious! By the way, turn around and put the stove in front of you. Remember to bring your sister-in-law to eat roast duck together. If your father-in-law is willing to come and enjoy the scenery, he will also welcome..."

When the little Wang family was in the hot pot, they were in a mansion on Shifuma Street in Xicheng. The uncle and nephew were also in hot pot. As Shanxi people, they all loved this kind of hot pot. But now they were sitting face to face, with the soup in the copper pot rolling up and down, and the slices of lamb were so old that they could not chew, but both of them were stunned. Until the end, Wang Chonggu, who was transferred back to the Beijing General Office to take charge of the troops in the Beijing camp at the beginning of the year, spoke first.

"If your son doesn't teach you, your father's fault, your son looks like a smart man. He can read books well, but he is just too smart."

Although he blamed his eldest son Zhang Taizheng, Zhang Siwei only felt that his uncle Wang Chonggu was hitting him, and he immediately smiled bitterly. He put down his chopsticks and whispered sincerely: "Uncle, I shouldn't have let Dalang hear this. He also wanted to relieve my worries, so he took the initiative to hire someone. Besides, he had dealt with Wang Fulin..."

"Just because of the fight, he should be more cautious. As a result, you see. What kind of monkey scene is that! I have said a long time ago that it would be enough to burn here. If no one paid attention to Wang Daokun and his group at that time, they would have to break up and return to Beijing, and they would not be able to make any trouble. But what do you think now? Zhang Juzheng first summoned the three Wang brothers himself, and then even Wang Fulin had already entered the eyes of the prime minister of the dynasty at such a young age! If I say something bad, Taizheng only gave Wang Fulin a huge opportunity for nothing. Otherwise, even if Zhang Juzheng saw a nephew of the same year, he would never say that!"

Zhang Siwei had to be grateful for his eldest son, but Wang Chonggu criticized him like this. Today, he did not bring Zhang Taizheng, who started to take the blame. After all, Zhang Taizheng was not young, and was scolded by his uncle like this. He was ashamed and angry as he didn't know how long he would be depressed. When Wang Chonggu finally came to an end, he said: "Uncle, don't worry too much. After I returned to my hometown, I sent generous gifts to the Zhang Mansion again and again. After returning to Beijing, I have always been careful about Zhang Juzheng, and he was not suspected of not being on my head. As for Wang Daokun, his contributions have long been outdated. Tan Lunruo has always been the Minister of War, and he is still stable, Ruruo..."

He paused and said contemptuously: "Wang Daokun is a foreign official all year round, how can he understand the essence of Zhang Juzheng's behavior? Unless he has the ability to guard Ji Liao like Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang, he will rely on his frivolous personality to be frivolous and famous, who likes to be romantic and romantic, and transfers the personality of scholars. After one or two years, sooner or later, Zhang Juzheng will look down on him. As for Wang Fulin and his son, once he fails the exam next year, there will be nothing to worry about."

Wang Fulin, who was insignificant in Zhang Siwei, was adding tofu to the steaming hot pot at this moment, and said to Cheng Naixuan: "Three masters of Puzhou, Yang Bo, the old minister of Yang Bo, has retired, let's not talk about him. Wang Chonggu was only 60 years old, Zhang Siwei was one year younger than the chief minister. The uncle and nephew family were all Shanxi merchants. They used to grant tribute to Altan Khan and opened a horse market on the border.

In contrast, your father-in-law was sponsored by Mrs. Xu, and you, as a son-in-law, is a polite person. The rest of the Xu Village don’t have any high positions in the court. The Yinbutang is known as greedy and cruel outside, and the family is not a rich family. Even the Wang family in Songmingshan and Lianghuai salt industry have only started again, and my uncle is just a young Sima. Your father went to do business after being admitted to the juren. He is rich and rich, but even if you pass the Jinshi this time, you won’t be able to achieve any high position in less than twenty years. When it comes to government and business, the Shanxi merchants do better. This time I guess I’m afraid that they are not going to do it for the Xia Shi Si, nor are they coming to the Wang family or Hui merchants.”

"What you mean is that our Prime Minister is concerned about the case of summer tax silk in Huizhou Prefecture. He should have wanted to start with the tax service and re-develop a policy of long-term stability, but some people do not want to touch this... Yes, Hui merchants are different from Shanxi merchants. Huizhou Prefecture has poor land. In recent years, fewer and fewer wealthy merchants buy land locally, but Shanxi is different. Shanxi merchants make big money while becoming big landlords. But why do they help Shuai Jiamo promote their reputation in this way?

"What are you doing? Provoke more confrontation between the other five counties in Huizhou and She County, and then make the chaos bigger. In this way, the court will be afraid of the taxes and services in the future. By the way, this will also be a big blow to the prestige of the chief assistant. Don't glar at me, I'll just guess." Wang Fulin picked up a piece of tofu and dipped it in sesame sauce, and said to himself, "No wonder some Shanxi merchants will be the leader in the future, which is really far-sighted!"
