Chapter 657 The goodness of the two surnames
As Wang Fulin and Xiaobei just realized, when Chen Maoxue tried to marry the Wang family in front of his brother Chen Maojing, he immediately discovered that his brother was not surprised or surprised, but his face was quite subtle. Mrs. Shen, who was standing beside him, was not as calm as her husband and said bluntly: "Second brother, why do you have this idea like the master? I have seen that child twice. He is indeed a good polite and has a good talent. Otherwise, it would not be the last Huining Daodao trial trial, but he is an adopted son after all. Moreover, if Fu'er married, her father-in-law would be too young."
"Brother has this idea too?" Chen Maoxue ignored the second half of his sister-in-law's words, looked at his brother in surprise and said, "Why haven't your brother mentioned it to me?"
"I asked the boss to take Wang Jinbao and the three of them around in Xuancheng. The boss came back and said to me, "Although Jinbao is only so old, his foundation in classics and history is even stronger than him. He also took several of his articles and poems to me. It is really remarkable, and at most he lacks the fire."
The eldest in Chen Maojing's words is Chen Yourong's elder brother Chen Youyan. Chen Youyan is a student of Ningguo Mansion. He was 25 years old and passed the scholar at the age of 18. He has now been a student with a high school student. Because he is old and often in the first place in the exam every year, he is already a student. However, because the competition in the Nanzhili provincial examination is fierce, he ended twice and has not yet passed the imperial examination. Chen Maojing paused and said, "It is not common these days. The important thing is that Tian○♂Chang○♂Feng○♂Wen○♂Wen♂Tuo is high but he is diligent and willing to work hard, so that he can turn rough jade into beautiful jade. This is what my father said back then."
Speaking of his father Shen Chong, Chen Maoxue's expression became solemn. Since the orthodox Jingtai, his Jinshi's origin has been paid more and more attention. The Juren and the Superintendent are called Miscellaneous Tu. From this, it is difficult to break through the official position. Therefore, most Juren can be the county magistrate or even a magistrate. Few of the ten can break through to the fourth rank, and Shen Chong is undoubtedly an anomaly.
Chen Chong, who was a juren, served as the magistrate of Xingtang County and the magistrate of Huolu County. Because of his outstanding political achievements and superiors, he was promoted to the supervisory censor and then inspected Fujian. Because he offended the powerful and powerful, he was unable to be promoted to the position of Beijing after being appointed as the inspector. Instead, he moved to the left to the Huguang Army Preparation Bureau. Even though he had the merit of killing giant thieves in office, he established an academy to promote the study of the heart. Finally, because he was controlled by Yan Song's followers in the middle and late Jiajing court, he was transferred to Guangxi to serve as the position of the sub-guard of the Taoist, and finally retired with the fourth rank to return home. But this person was not idle. Mei Shoude, the father of Mei Dingzuo, taught in the Zhixue Academy run by Luo Rufang for many years, and was a famous scholar.
The two brothers talked about their father-in-law. As Mei Shoude's niece, Mei Dingzuo's cousin, she stopped talking. But she really didn't want to do it. But the other words her husband Chen Maojing said shocked her.
"The last Huining Dao exam was taken in Huizhou Prefecture. At that time, the first case of Wang Jinbao came out, which caused an uproar in our Ningguo Prefecture. Many people have investigated Wang Jinbao. His life experience had long been dug out. There were no fewer people who secretly proposed marriage to the Wang family in Songmingshan than those in Huizhou Prefecture. If it weren't for Wang Fulin's father, or Wang Jinbao's grandfather could not be vague, he insisted that Wang Fulin's decision to be a father, otherwise Wang Jinbao would have already decided. My brother-in-law had interviewed Jinbao a few days ago and asked me that he had the intention of choosing a nephew and son-in-law."
Chen Maoxue was also moved when he heard Mei Dingzuo, and he immediately smiled: "I think so. Although She County, Huizhou Prefecture, is a bit far from Ningguo Prefecture, compared to some families, the distance is not much. Moreover, Wang Fulin is easy to talk to. If things really come true, sometimes it is easy to let them go back to their parents' home to live. If the eldest brother thinks it is good, I would like to hint to Wang Fulin that he, the father, should first formally mention it, and it will never happen that such a thing will make the woman speak up."
"Okay, you can tell him clearly. But remember, you must say something to Wang Fulin." Chen Maojing suddenly spoke, and then said word by word, "Wang Jinbao is still young after all, so now he gets engaged first. Before this year's provincial examination, he asked Wang Jinbao to study at Xuancheng Zhixue Academy. It is a good thing for a young man to read a few more years of study and precipitate it."
As soon as this was said, Chen Maoxue saw that Mei's face turned from gloomy to sunny, and she was extremely happy. He didn't know what his sister-in-law was happy about, and he immediately laughed. Luo Rufang, who was the prefect of Ningguo, was not big enough to teach, and was often overcrowded when teaching. Moreover, he was not in Xuancheng, where the prefecture was located, so he asked the then-in-chief of the censor Geng Ding to build Zhixue Academy in Xuancheng. At that time, in addition to Wang Xuezhong Luo Rufang and Wang Ji, who had also learned this, there were also their brother's father Chen Chong, Mei Dingzuo's father Mei Shoude, and his own teacher Gong Anguo. It can be said that Zhixue Academy is one of the real base camps of Wang's Xinxue in Nanzhili! However, when he thought about Zhang Juzheng's rectification of academic and political memorials last year, he could not help but worry.
Chen Maojing knew what his younger brother was worried about, so he immediately comforted: "Although the rectification of academic affairs is banned from the Tianxia Academy, even if the Zhixue Academy is not an official school, it is still a government-ordered official to raise funds, and it will not be included in the scope of rectification for a while. It is not that I boasted about Haikou, except for the Chongzheng Academy in Nanjing, there are only a few places in Nanzhili that can compare with Zhixue Academy!" Speaking of this, he felt quite complacent on his face, but he was thinking of another idea.
Wang Fulin was successful when he was young. He was capable, but he was very capable after all. After all, he was too good at making trouble. This time, it is said that the chaotic summer tax silk dispute in Huizhou Prefecture was also involved. Many people privately said that it was a walking disaster. Because of this, it is naturally a good thing to put Wang Jinbao in Zhixue Academy to settle down and shape a pure school person. No matter what, this year, Jinbao, who is only fourteen years old, has little hope. Zhang Juzheng, who is also a scholar at the age of 12, was once suppressed for one class when he was taking the imperial examination at the age of 13, let alone other people?
The husband had already decided that although Mei was reluctant to leave, she thought that she could keep her daughter for another two years. If Jinbao studied at Zhixue Academy, Wang Fulin and his wife were so old, they obviously didn't need to serve her daughter-in-law. The daughter had a great hope of living in Xuancheng for a few more years, so she finally nodded. So Chen Maoxue immediately conveyed the attitude of her brother and sister-in-law to Wang Fulin.
Faced with the Shen family's rapid reaction, it was Wang Fulin's turn this time. Following Qiu Feng, he once again realized the complex mentality of having a son growing up in my family. After sending Chen Mao off, he patted his head and then said to Xiaobei: "Why do I think this time I went back to my hometown to recuperate, I decided to make a marriage?"
Although Jin Bao and her husband and wife have no real blood relationship, Xiaobei also watched Jin Bao Qiufeng and Ye Xiaopang grow up together. Therefore, she always felt not so happy about the Shen family's request to stay at Xuancheng Zhixue Academy. She said angrily: "Of course you are indispensable for marrying a sister. As for the matter between Jin Bao and Qiufeng, since you are a father and a teacher, you are obliged to be a father and a teacher. However, Huizhou Prefecture is not without a good academy, why does the Shen family have to keep people in Xuancheng? What's more, Jin Bao will take the provincial examination this year, and maybe he will pass the imperial examination?"
"A 14-year-old Juren will be shocked. Even if the examiner appreciates the article, he will definitely suppress him." Wang Fulin said this, but thought to himself. If his distribution problem cannot be solved by the end of the year, he might be compensated. As long as Jinbao can perform above the level of the provincial examination this year, he will give the Wang family a Juren? But this is not a good thing. Next year, Zhang Juzheng will be the chief examiner. He will not be able to give the Wang family a Jinshi? If that happens, the Wang family will be marked with the Zhang Dang, which is not what he wants.
Xuancheng Zhixue Academy was created by Luo Rufang and is one of the base camps of Wang's Xinxue. For Zhang Juzheng, who doesn't like the Xinxue style, the people who came from Zhixue Academy are undoubtedly unpleasant. And if he was wrong, even if the wind of rectifying the academy did not come here for a while, it would still be affected by this place within one or two years. Moreover, although there are many fans of the Xinxue system, they are not favored by those in power. If possible, he did not want Jin Bao to get involved too deeply. After all, some of Wang Yangming's theories have been promoted to a very far-reaching situation by his disciples.
"For such a big thing, I have to send someone back to my hometown to talk to my parents. Moreover, I will agree with the Shen family that Jinbao will not stay in Xuancheng Zhixue Academy for more than two years."
It is more reliable to keep his son by his side. He doesn’t want Jin Bao to be stupid in his studies!
After Wang Fulin asked Jin Bao, he finally confirmed from the little guy that he had met the lady of the Shen family. After a good first impression of the person, he immediately sent a messenger back to Songming Mountain. The messenger walked back and forth for seven days on the road, not only brought back Wang Daoyun's reply, but also brought the specific content of the imperial decree to Huizhou Prefecture. The latter was indeed as Wang Fulin imagined, which was to pull the taller one among the three proposals written by the prefect of the Huizhou Prefecture Yao Hui, and chose to use ship tax and tea tax to offset the corresponding summer tax silk, which was to cut more than 2,000 taels of taxes for She County in disguise. In this way, the five counties did not need to be assigned to She County and reduce the burden, which was considered to be a happy thing.
As for the handling of those who caused trouble, it was basically the same as the Huizhou Prefecture handled, and the court had no additional opinions. Xue Chao, the magistrate of She County, was dismissed because he had been sick for too long and did not handle government affairs. The reason why he was not dismissed but was dismissed was because Wang Fulin was not interested in inquiring about the reason. The incident of the Jinyiwei blocking the door at Yu Maoxue's door was not mentioned in a word, as if it had never happened. At this point, the dispute over the summer tax silk of Huizhou Prefecture, which has been since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, has come to an end completely.
Of course, these news were just accompaniment. Wang Fulin was most concerned about Wang Daoyun's reply. Wang Daoyun was of course happy to see the success of his marriage with the Shen family in Xuancheng, and he had no big objection to what Wang Fulin said to let Jin Bao stay at Xuancheng Zhixue Academy for two years. Given that Wang Fulin had not prepared any gifts in Xuancheng before, he had not prepared any gifts except for the gifts, Wang Daoyun specially selected a ginseng plant among the specialties that Wang Fulin brought back from Liaodong, and among the things that his family had gradually gained over the years, he chose a pair of white jade bracelets and a pair of red gold-embedded ruby earrings as a pre-determined ceremony.
Everything is ready, and only the east wind is not enough, Wang Fulin is not allowed to find a candidate to propose marriage. Finally, after thinking about it, he dragged Shi Yuanxi of the same year.
It is conceivable that when Shi Yuanxi learned that Wang Fulin was going to propose marriage to Shen family in Xuancheng for his adopted son Wang Jinbao, he was shocked not that the two families were going to marry, but that the matter had progressed to this point without anyone noticing it! However, whether it was Wang Fulin's same year or Chen Maoxue's new friend, he had no choice but to accompany him to the side. But when he finished this matter, he immediately attracted a lot of surprise when he told several other friends.
Especially Mei Dingzuo was unreasonable when he caught Chen Maoxue. He just chose a good candidate for his niece, but he was snatched by the Shen family. But this was just a conversation between the two families and close friends. Naturally, he would not have been able to talk about outsiders. For a moment, the marriage spread throughout the streets and alleys of Xuancheng. Some people were amazed and some were complaining behind their backs. But for the parties involved, the marriage letter was decided and the matter was finalized.
According to the original intention of the Shen family, it would be best for Wang Fulin to keep Jin Bao at Zhixue Academy now, but Wang Fulin said that he would take Jin Bao back to his hometown to report to his father in person, and he forced him to delay this time. After a while, the Shen family did not want to urge him too quickly, which caused him to be more anxious than the man, so he had to agree.
On the way back, Wang Xiaomei and Ye Xiaopang, and the two elders joked about Jin Bao and Qiu Feng a lot. Wang Fulin only smiled and watched the fun. In the end, Xiaobei couldn't stand it anymore. He picked Ye Xiaopang's ear and taught a lesson. He also said that he would send him to Zhixue Academy together, which made people honest.
The group of people traveled all the way and had just arrived at Xin'anmen Gate of She County. The guard of the city gate recognized Wang Fulin at a glance and immediately shouted, "Xiaoguan Wang, you are back. Today, the former county magistrate has left office. Yu County Magistrate is still the acting county magistrate. If you are one day late, you will be unable to see him!"
Although Wang Fulin had long been the messenger who went back and forth to Huizhou Prefecture and learned that the big board of Xiashi Silk in Huizhou Prefecture's dispute over Xiashi Silk in the end fell on Xue Chao, the magistrate of She County, he didn't expect that when he came back, the other party left office, he felt mixed feelings. As for the gloating of the city gate guards, why didn't he know why? When Xue Chao urged Xiashi Shi, he yelled anxiously. Later, in order to make political achievements, he tried his best to shout that Xiashi Silk in the same way. After a problem arose, he treated others as a scapegoat and hurried behind. How could such a county magistrate who was not responsible win the hearts of the people?
Be self-inflicted!
