Chapter 658 The long overdue appointment

In front of Wang's house on the back street of the county, two black painted doors were now open. A young man sat on the stone steps in front of the door with his legs spread apart, watching with interest a mule cart opposite him moving things from the county magistrate's office. ¥f, if he hadn't known him, no one would have thought that such a young man in a cloth clothes, who looked like an ordinary servant or even a young man, would be the famous shopkeeper Ye Da, who is now the famous Huizhou Prefecture.

When Ye Qinglong's eyes met the thin middle-aged man who came out of the gate of the official government, he clearly found that there was a trace of deep resentment on the other party's face. If he followed the vengeful personality of the shopkeeper Ye, he would have to go forward and make a few words to exclaim, but behind him was his master. If he left a bad impression in front of Wang Daoyun and his wife, Wang Fulin would not give him good food. Therefore, Ye Qinglong maintained a good deed and continued to sit at the gate in a steadily manner, but his face showed a bit of mocking smile.

But just when he thought he was kind enough to not take advantage of the situation, he suddenly heard a burst of rapid horse hooves coming from the street. He quickly stood up and looked over. He immediately smiled happily when he found the fat figure in front of his head. He didn't care whether Xue Chao would misunderstand it. He quickly patted the floating dust on the clothes behind him and walked forward quickly. When the horse barely stopped in front of him, he saw Ye Xiaopang jump off the horse with agility that was absolutely incompatible with his figure, he smiled and said, "Uncle, congratulations!"

Ye Xiaopang heard the guards saying that Xue Chao was going to leave in shame, so he rushed over to see the fun. When he heard Ye Qinglong's words, he was confused. However, Qiu Feng, who was chasing him from behind, jumped off the horse and asked Ye Qinglong deliberately: "What congratulations? Could it be that our uncle is going to get married?"

"No?" Ye Qinglong said with a smile, seeing that Ye Xiaopang's big mouth was enough to stuff an egg into, "The little official's father-in-law and mother-in-law came back from the capital and asked the little official and the big grandma to send their uncle back to Ningbo to get married. They would not be able to come back for a while. It would be okay to say that it was such a big thing. If the eldest daughter and the eldest son-in-law had not been to Beijing before. It was the best group of people to send them together, but now they can only feel wronged. After all, the eldest son-in-law is the first to marry a man and a woman to marry, which cannot be delayed. The young official and the big grandma can also visit the old lady of the Ye family. Let the uncle and his wife go to Beijing afterwards."

Until this moment, Ye Xiaopang saw the malicious smiles of Jin Bao and Qiu Feng, and then she wanted to cry without tears. He had teased this and that before, but in the end he was simply a desperate attempt. Amid the laughing and joking voices, the figure of Xue Chao, the former She County Magistrate, left in a infinitely desolate way. No one noticed it. Even Wang Fulin, who was rushing home from the back street of the county, just glanced at him with no attention.

After all, even Zhang Siwei or Wang Chonggu would not invest much resources to Xue Chao, who was a fellow villager but was dismissed from his first official. Who would not cultivate this skill?

When Wang Fulin learned that Ye Xiaopang was going to get married, his father-in-law and mother-in-law wanted to send someone back to Ningbo with Xiaobei, he was really "surprised and happy". After returning home, he attended three weddings in a row, although he had not had time to go and decided on two weddings one after another. Wang Fulin had to sigh that he was really busy with various weddings. At the same time, he was quite fortunate that besides Wang Erniang's wedding, the remaining weddings finally dispersed the curse of the disaster star permeating him. In his opinion, after all, the trip to Xuancheng was smooth and nothing happened!

Because Wang Daoyun said that Wang Daokun and Ye Junyao also sent a letter together. Dao was not yet agreed to his appointment, and he should be awarded an official position for a while. Wang Fulin was confident in preparing to go to Ningbo, and at the same time he was planning to go to Xinchang on his way back to see if Lu Guangwu had returned home. Xiaobei was naturally very happy about this trip. Although Huizhou is her real hometown, for her who had lived in Ningbo for several years, it was also a place worth remembering. In addition, her parents and sister were not around, so as her sister, she naturally even expressed her life to Ye Xiaopang'er.

This time, Xiaobei refused to take a boat, and everyone in Wang Fulin could ride a horse, so he simply took the land route. When he arrived in Ningbo, the weather warmed up in March, and one of the best seasons of the year. But when Wang Fulin asked about the wedding date, he was shocked. It turned out that there were only less than twenty days left before the scheduled day! But everyone in the Ye family was busy and happy. Even when Mrs. Ye saw the little fat man, she was a good grandson and smiled happily, as if she was not worried that the groom would be delayed on the road and could not catch up with the established days.

Wang Fulin didn't know what to say about this: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law and the old lady are so worried! What if the messenger encounters any delay on the road, or if we have any delays on the road, what should we do?"

"Aren't there any delay now?" Xiaobei said indifferently about Wang Fulin's unfair concern, "Anyway, I'm catching up. My parents are not here, except for my grandmother, we are Mingzhao's biggest elders. You are ready to give a gift at that time!"

"Okay, I won't lose face to my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Although Wang Fulin lamented that the Ye family was very heartbroken, when he saw Ye Xiaopang like a puppet, he was tortured to death, he couldn't help but think of himself, Wang Erniang, and Shen Yourong's marriage this time. Although this was a big happy event in life, as the protagonist, it was really pitiful. Moreover, even though Ye Xiaopang had met his wife who had never passed by, he was not like him and Xiaobei. He looked up and saw each other without looking down, and had a lot of time, and there was no psychological barrier when he got married. I was afraid that his brother-in-law would definitely be upset.

On the day of marriage, Ye Xiaopang was indeed a little numb. The smile on his face was stiff. He did whatever he asked him to do, especially in front of those elders, he could only nod and bow. When Wang Fulin got married to Xiaobei, he didn't dare to be domineering his parents, even the elders of the Wang family in Songmingshan, but if he had been treated so much, he wanted to cry. But at the wedding banquet, those brothers of the same generation started to persuade him to drink, and he would vomit after a round.

Just when he was almost unable to hold on, he finally heard a voice coming from behind: "Although it is a happy day, Mingzhao, you should drink less. Whoever wants to respect the groom, I will drink for him!"

Brother-in-law, you are so good!

Ye Xiaopang was almost grateful, but when he saw his cousins ​​seeing Wang Fulin, they immediately looked like mice seeing cats, either beating or whispering to apologize. Anyway, they would scatter in a short while. At this time, he couldn't help but turn around and look at Wang Fulin with a resentful face and said, "Brother-in-law, teach me how can people see me as awe as you, and dare not make a fuss?"

"Do you want to learn?" Wang Fulin looked at Ye Xiaopang laughingly. Seeing him nodding repeatedly, he smiled, "Then you have to learn your brother-in-law's ability to cause disasters first. You don't know that everyone calls me a disaster star, and you have to mess with your life wherever you go?"

Ye Xiaopang was stunned. When he recalled Wang Fulin's ability to cause disasters, he immediately shivered and never dared to ask why people were in awe. If he had been so angry, he would have to mess with him wherever he went, and he would not have the ability to solve the crisis accordingly, the flesh and bones on his body would have to be removed!

That night, Wang Fulin and Xiaobei were still staying in the old house of Ye family, in the east wing of the yard where Mrs. Ye was located. The two of them were all feeling mixed feelings when they talked about accompanying Mrs. Ye to Putuo Mountain. Four or five years have passed in a flash. Zhang Taizheng, who they met in Putuo Mountain, had been tricked by Wang Fulin back to their hometown Puzhou, and they thought they would never meet those Folang Ji people again. The precious gems they received back then are now the best products they used to give gifts.

"I must go to Macau if I have the chance. Oh, we wise people should say that we are rich in mirrors."

Xiaobei knew that Wang Fulin was so impatient and idle at home. Of course, he would not pour cold water on hearing this. He just added angrily: "Anyway, I will go wherever you go, and I will watch you well for my parents!"

"I know, so I didn't expect you to be a wife who serves her parents-in-law honestly." After Wang Fulin said this, he suddenly turned over and pressed him on his wife's ear and said, "But then again, there has been no man or woman in the years of hard work. Let's change our position from today."

On this wedding night of Ye Xiaopang's wedding night, in this west wing, the red waves were pouring out and the spring was filled with warmth.

Early the morning of the next morning, when Ye Xiaopang brought his bride to pay homage to his elders, he found a suspicious blush on Xiaobei's face. But when he saw Wang Fulin calm, he didn't take it too seriously. As the newlyweds bowed, the gifts given by the bride were given one by one, and the gifts given by others were also taken in one by one, especially the expensive things given by Wang Fulin and Xiaobei, which made Ye Junyao's brothers and sisters-in-law all looked straight. The golden silk pearl crown as the size of a fingernail, the yellow red gold inlaid red sapphire bracelet, the gold used was probably thirty or forty taels, and a painting with full flowers and full moon was simply a very generous move!

Even though Wang Fulin passed the Jinshi exam, but was not yet appointed to be an official, the relatives of the Ye family had some confusing speculations. However, Wang Fulin was famous and distinctly rich and rich. His uncle Wang Daokun is still the Minister of War, and no one dared to offend this relative. Therefore, Mrs. Ye only took Wang Fulin and Xiaobei, Ye Xiaopang and his bride to Putuo Mountain to worship Buddha. No one could complain behind his back even though the others were jealous. This trip to Putuo Mountain was smooth and smooth. Wang Fulin also lived with Mrs. Ye on the island for two days, which was considered to be a promise he had promised Xiaobei after the provincial examination that year.

Wandering in Ningbo for a total of a month, Wang Fulin took Xiaobei to prepare for the return trip. As for Ye Xiaopang, he could not be idle outside. He was already a scholar, because he missed the previous scientific examination in Ningbo Prefecture, so he had to take this year's ex-trial examination to see if he was lucky enough to participate in the provincial examination in Zhejiang this year. Jinbao was the head of the Huining Dao case before, so he could go to the autumn examination without the examination, which made Wang Fulin much less worried. Of course, this time, it was mostly just a way to feel the atmosphere and not seek to pass the exam. Qiu Feng also had to take the Huining Dao Science Examination to see if he was qualified for the provincial examination. Therefore, Wang Fulin had to send his followers to send people back to Huizhou Prefecture first.

On the way back from Ningbo, Wang Fulin went to Xinchang again and learned that Lu Guangwu had not come back yet, while He Xinyin went to the south to give lectures. After a while, he had to return to Huizhou Prefecture and was in a bad mood. What he did not expect was that not only the two elders were waiting for him at home, the uncle Wu Tianbao, Wang Yuanguan, Wang Xiaomei, brother-in-law, Qiu Feng, who had won the scientific examination, Jin Bao, who was working hard to prepare for the provincial examination, and the late appointment of the imperial court.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is different from the Tang Dynasty. Ordinary new Jinshi did not have to be selected for three years. Most of them were used as soon as possible in the year. It was already slow to delay until the second year. It could be compensated for a good official, not to mention that he had already delayed until the third year?

Seeing the subtle expressions of the parents and a lot of relatives and friends, Wang Fulin, who had just returned home, couldn't help but feel sad: "What kind of appointment is it? Just say it's just that, I can't let me go to Guangxi or Guizhou to be the county magistrate? If that's the case, it's nothing to be scary. Being a monk for one day and hitting a bell for one day, even if it's a long time, wouldn't it be for six years?"

"You have not made a mistake, nor are you the third-class suffrage. Why is the appointment of the imperial court so outrageous?" Wang Daoyun was so choked by Wang Fulin's torture. After a while, he handed over the official documents of the Ministry of Personnel, "You can read it yourself!"

When Wang Fulin saw the specific content of the appointment, he understood why there were so many people gathered in his family. Because the concise document of the Ministry of Personnel was sent to the Guangdong Censorate! He said that he would not go to the Censorate, who had the idea to send him an Censor? This appointment was too unreasonable. Has the Ming Dynasty ever had such a young Censor? Is the Censor assigned to a new Jinshi? And seeing that the deadline is only about twenty days left, how should he hurry up so that he would not catch up with the deadline for taking office?

As for these relatives and friends, they were probably afraid that after seeing the appointment, they would directly make things difficult for him and that they would have caused trouble. So they all stayed at home!

He sighed and asked helplessly: "Where is uncle? He didn't send a message for such a big deal?"

"Of course I'll take it."

This time, Wu Tianbao handed over Wang Daokun's letter. Wang Fulin took it in his hand, but found that the name on the envelope was for him, and it had not been opened yet. Although he was curious about how Wang Daoyun and these relatives and friends resisted not to peek, he opened the envelope and took out the letter paper as soon as possible, and glanced at it quickly. But when he understood the care of the letter, he almost turned on his anger.

However, it turned out that the term of the Guangdong Inspector Censor was about to expire, and the Yao people in western Guangdong rose up again. The court ordered the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Ling Yunyi to prepare for military use, so he had to send additional military salaries to the ten prefectures. Therefore, in addition to supervising the officials of the ten prefectures, he had another important responsibility, which was to supervise the collection and use of the military salaries, and assist the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi to extinguish the Yao people's uprising as soon as possible! How to collect and distribute military salaries without arousing public grievances and changes is the issue that the inspector Censor needs to consider.

He knew that this seemingly extraordinary promotion of the Inspector Censor was absolutely nothing good!
