Chapter 653 Knowing today, why was it in the first place

Late at night, Wang Shangning and Wang Shangxuan brothers came to see his stepfather Cheng Sixun. Of course, he didn't know about Wang Fulin, who was a guest, and it didn't matter if he knew. He didn't have to ask his stepfather and stepson to turn against each other completely. He witnessed that scene at the Wang family in Shuchuan, and the anger that Wang Shangxuan had done before was enough for him.

Therefore, at this moment, he was sending Yin Shoushan out by himself. This very young juren was shaking flags and shouting behind Wang Shangning and Xue's butt, trying to send all the Xiashi silk silk from She County to the other five counties. Now that Wuyuan in Xiuning is almost in trouble, the matter is likely to reach Tianting. Yin Shoushan was naturally full of anxiety. Although he was old enough to be Wang Fulin's grandfather, he was thirty or forty years before he passed the imperial examination, but now he was relieved because of Wang Fulin's promise.

"The court wants to blame the lawless traitors, and the ones who are responsible for the brunt of the lawless traitors. Master Yin, you just went to the government office to argue and did nothing else. How could you be implicated? If you are still worried, then I might as well say that Yao Fuzun was once a gunnery by Xue County Zun, let alone you? Don't worry, if someone really wants to use you as a scapegoat, just look for me."

"With your words from Shiqing, I can only go to sleep peacefully. Alas, Wang Shangning and I have been in love for decades. He was vague and didn't say anything right at the end of the matter. It's such a waste of making such a friend!"

When Wang Fulin was taken from the guest yard to the entrance of the yard, Yin Shoushan was still nagging. However, when he saw the lit lantern on the stairs and the few people coming out of the other door behind him, he immediately realized what the consequences of the quick complaining at this moment! When it was late at night, even if the voice was low, the opposite side would definitely hear it clearly, not to mention that he complained loudly. And he did not expect that Wang Shangning and Wang Shangxuan would actually come to the Cheng family on this evening, and just happened to run into the Cheng family when he went out!

Yin Shoushan was in a state of confusion. Wang Shangning and Wang Shangxuan were not much better, especially when they saw Yin Shoushan being with Wang Fulin, the feeling of being stabbed in the back was even stronger. Moreover, this was their second meeting with Wang Fulin for more than four years. Compared with the young scholar who had been constantly marveling but still seemed a little immature, Wang Fulin now not only looks mature at first glance, but is also already a Jinshi, so it is naturally more difficult to deal with as an opponent. Wang Shangning gave Wang Shangxuan a stern look and warned him not to talk nonsense, and then he squeezed out a smile after Wang Fulin and Yin Shoushan stepped forward.

However, the person who rushed to say hello was still Wang Fulin. He smiled and bowed, as if he said without any grudges: "Senior, are you here with Brother Ling? I happened to stay here with Master Yin. Master Yin came to invite me to his place for some wine, so I won't disturb you.

Yin Shoushan wanted to end the embarrassing situation quickly, and he didn't care that Wang Fulin had sent him the room. He immediately laughed and said, "Yes, yes, please let me go. Shiqingfang and I have a drink."

Seeing that Yin Shoushan was dragging Wang Fulin away quickly, Wang Shangxuan almost bit his teeth. Wang Shangning at least got the title of an old senior, but he turned into the simple word "Ling Di" in Wang Fulin's mouth. The hateful boy refused to call him "The Third Old Master", and he ignored the seniority of the old and young! However, thinking that he had some serious work, he could only suppress his anger and depression. However, when he saw Cheng Sixun, his stepfather, the words he prepared were blocked by others, and he couldn't help but feel a little restrained.

"For the past forty years, I have not kept it for you, but for the love between our husband and wife back then. Even if she and her ex-husband are in contact with each other, I would not want to get involved in other women. Now you are all the age of being called the old man. Xiangyuan and I don't have to worry about you anymore. As for the honor, whether it is there or not, I don't care. But if there is no such thing, even if you live in Shuchuan together, you will have to wait until the festival to come and go this trip, right?"

Wang Shangning gave Wang Shangxuan a wink, but he tried his best: "Father, we three brothers were indeed careless before, but we were not close to each other. Please think twice."

"I haven't finished my words yet. Although I was already seventy-eighty and eighty years old, I couldn't walk and had no strength to go to the yamen anymore. You asked for the title of the deputy secretary of the pedestrian department for me, but I didn't even have a few words to write. I want to work for you to the government office in my name to talk about the matter of summer tax silk." Seeing that the Wang brothers suddenly changed their expression, Cheng Sixun said lightly, "Anyway, that's it. I don't want to say more about the rest. The night is already deep, please."

Wang Shangxuan no longer wanted to stay there. He left without saying a word and went out like this. When Wang Shangning stood up, he saw the wrinkles on Cheng Sixun's forehead that looked like knives. Thinking of the old things that happened back then, he suddenly turned around and knelt down towards Cheng Sixun. Facing this sudden scene, Cheng Sixun was a little stunned, but silent.

"Father, I know that I hurt your heart at the beginning. It's my fault for making mistakes. I don't expect to recover in this life, and there are no future among my children and grandchildren. Now I think it's all the sins that have committed before. But so many years have passed. My father should also be kind to the friendship between Wang and Cheng of Shukou over the past few decades, so don't add fuel to the fire. Xiangyuan is already at the age of the imperial examination. I also know that it's difficult for scholars to take the imperial examination, but can he be admitted to the Imperial College with a commendation? Wang Fulin has already passed the Jinshi, but if he can cover the sky with one hand, why would he have to take care of the sick in the village?"

Bai Cangcang met Bai Cangcang, and seeing that Cheng Sixun's expression seemed to have finally changed, Wang Shangning just threw out his last killer move: "Wang Fulin has a way in Nanjing, but you must know that news just came that Li Tingzhu, the Marquis of Linhuai, has passed away. Since that's the case, how much say can he have in front of those big guys in Nanjing?"

"Tingde, you have always been a foreign official and have never been a capital official. You have experienced good governance and a reputation as a powerful person. But do you know why you have never been to the famous official temple from beginning to end?" Cheng Sixun saw that Wang Shangning was a little embarrassed by his sudden question, so he said sarcastically, "That's because you don't value profit, but you value fame too much, so you can't help but judge others by yourself. Yes, when Wang Fulin praised me for his righteous husband before, he was aimed at Xiangyuan, but if it weren't for him, your own sons and grandchildren wouldn't care about me, and you would still think of me, my poor grandson? How long has he called you uncle? Have you ever thought about him?"

Before Wang Shangning could speak, Cheng Sixun continued, "I don't know the Marquis of Linhuai. I don't know any of the big bosses in Nanjing. Wang Fulin never said that he would definitely send Xiangyuan to the Imperial College. But when he heard the patriarch's head to your house, he later sent me to the Wang family and promised me personally. He hired Xiangyuan a teacher with strong character and knowledge. Wang Fulin in Songmingshan did not say anything else, but he was famous for his words. The same thing happened, I have mentioned it to your brothers many times, but you have always been perfunctory! The Cheng family proposed to run for me. If I were not willing, I would not be myself, but my clan members. What you want to convince was not me, but the head of the Cheng family, and everyone from top to bottom. If I had known today, why should you leave!"

Seeing that Cheng Sixun, who had always been very fond of being with each other, Wang Shangning finally realized that it was vain tonight. He stood up with his knees and walked out slowly. When he arrived at the door, he suddenly felt blessed and saw Cheng Sixun's eyes full of water. Thinking of when he was still calling Cheng Shangning, his stepfather took him to greet his husband, buy paper and pen, and educated his two younger brothers who had passed the scholarship, so that they could use themselves as an example to make everything. Now when they think about it, it seems like a layer of gauze is blurred.

Early the next morning, when Wang Fulin took his whole family to say goodbye to Cheng Sixun, he found that the old man, who was eighty years old, looked haggard and his eyes were slightly swollen. After all, it was caused by himself. Wang Fulin thought he had a grudge with his brother Wang Shangning. But this old man, who can be called the old birthday star, was dragged into the water by himself.

Fortunately, he had an idea last night and discussed it with his family. He smiled and said, "Old Master Xun, next time I will go to see the leader of the Qiu family with my uncle She County. After all, Qiu Feng and Aunt Cheng had never been together before, so it was not suitable to move there suddenly. I want him to stay with you for a few days, and I will have a companion with Ling Sun. I wonder if it is convenient?"

The huge family is just two grandparents and grandchildren. Cheng Sixun only sighs that there are no guests on weekdays. Now Wang Fulin wants to keep Qiu Feng. When he saw Cheng Xiangyuan, he was full of excitement and joy. He immediately smiled without thinking: "Of course it's convenient, it's just a room. I don't have anything else here, there are only empty rooms at the most! If Qiu Feng is afraid of loneliness, it doesn't matter if you leave a few people with him."

When Ye Xiaopang heard this, he immediately became excited: "Old Master Xun, can I stay there too?" He reads everywhere he goes. Now there is no Wang Fulin and Xiaobei, so Qiu Feng is easy to talk to, so no one will supervise him to read it!

None of the people didn't know what Ye Xiaopang's virtue was, but Wang Fulin felt that this little fat man volunteered in time, because Cheng Sixun was surprised at first, and then he smiled and agreed repeatedly. He looked at Jin Bao, thought that the three of them were rarely separated, so he simply left their adopted son together and left three followers to take care of him. Cheng Sixun naturally showed good intentions for Wang Fulin's actions. When he saw Wu Tianbao and Wang Fulin away, Ye Xiaopang immediately became proud and pestered Cheng Xiangyuan to ask what was fun in Sukou, and then pulled Jin Bao Qiufeng, and really thought that this was here for vacation.

On the way, Wang Fulin saw Wu Tianbao frequently looking at him, and suddenly felt helpless: "Uncle, this time it was not my fault."

"It's true that you are not the one who started, but Wang Shangxuan did not do good deeds. You are too reasonable and you have come up with bad ideas!" Wu Tianbao truly understood his nephew's ability to cause trouble. He ran to a completely unfamiliar place before, which could cause such a big deal. Seeing Wang Fulin's innocent look on his face, Xiaobei was laughing. Thinking about the fact that when he came with Wang Daoyun before, it was really called peaceful negotiations. There was no messy change at all. He had to sigh that this person is different from humans. However, he said this not to blame his nephew, and he immediately turned to the point.

"Almost all Cheng family in Huizhou Prefecture moved from Huangdun, and Cheng family in Sukou was no exception. Although there were no prominent children in their clan in recent years, there were many scholars in addition to filial sons, and they also built roads and bridges, making them famous. If Qiu Feng was adopted by Cheng Aunt Cheng, if he could choose a marriage for him in Sukou, it would be the most suitable, and he could also marry him."

Wang Fulin was stunned. But think about Jinbao's thirteenth year, Qiu Feng seemed to be sixteenth. Wang Daokun reminded him to find a marriage for Jinbao in the Shen family in Xuancheng. The older Qiu Feng is indeed at the time to talk about marriage. But he has just been married for less than two years and has a feeling of indescribable emotion. After a long time of stunned till he yelled, "I'm talking about it, I'm talking about it."

"Don't be perfunctory. My uncle is serious, and you really have to consider this matter. Last night, when the old patriarch of the Cheng family held a banquet, many people asked me about it. Some asked Jinbao and some asked Qiufeng, I could only push them all on you, and I almost couldn't stand it." Xiaobei was a little scared when he thought of the matchmaker last night, and then said with a smile, "If you leave those three in the Cheng family, aren't you afraid that they will design a bunch of blind date scenes tomorrow?"

Wang Fulin was almost angry by Xiaobei's teasing tone: "Your brother is still there!"

"Mingzhao is not worried about him, so I don't worry about him. Besides, his marriage has been decided long ago." Xiaobei said this. Thinking about Ye Xiaopang's seemingly silly but wilted temperament, it is very certain that it is difficult for others to plot against him except Wang Fulin. But if he really wants to say this, why are Jin Bao and Qiu Feng really honest? I think when Qiu Feng cooperated with Wang Fulin to be a pair of spies, if anyone really treats him as a soft persimmon, he will be fooled!

He went to Suikou like an outing, but it was a bit complicated. When he went to Huaitang to see the leader of the Qiu family changing the family tree, Wang Fulin was naturally full of energy, but this time it was so smooth that it was unbelievable. Even so, when he went to She County's government office and completed all the household registration and other documents through Liu Hui, the official of the Household Office, he could not immediately return to Cheng's family in Suikou to pick up the three little guys.

It’s not that the process really took so long, but because he was blocked by the governor of Yingtian, Song Yiwang, who had just come from Nanjing. He had to work with the prefect of Huizhou Yao Huizu, and the two prosecutors, so he dealt with Song Yiwang and went to Wuyuan and Xiuning to get out.

However, what he unexpectedly expected was that Song Yiwang was Governor Yingtian promoted by Zhang Juzheng himself, but he actually went to Yu Maoxue's home in Wuyuan. It is said that he drove away the Jinyiwei who blocked the door in Yu Maoxue's home. Although Wang Fulin did not see the scene at that time, the government office and past servants retelled this scene in front of him and Yao Huizu, which was similar to seeing it with his own eyes. This made him sigh that although Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng echoed inside and outside, they could almost be called a cover of the sky, but there were still many people in the world who were indeed not afraid of power. But in this way, it is hard to say how long Song Yiwang could be Governor Yingtian for a long time.

The most tragic thing is of course the county magistrate Xue, who was recuperating in the county government office. From beginning to end, no one told him that Governor Yingtian had arrived at Huizhou Prefecture!

ps: I am familiar with the new author area after the merger. Last night, I saw that the author area disappeared. I was so scared that I looked for the editor overnight and issued a notice on the official WeChat account. Fortunately, the technology has already appeared and it was restored at around 9 o'clock. Today's update, tomorrow's second (to be continued.)
