Since ancient times, being an official has always paid attention to fellow townsmanship and the same year, and sometimes one has to add one.∷∷. As for the mutual connection between the officialdom, it is even more unsurprising to rely on it as an arm. Therefore, when Wang Zhuan heard that Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan had not only had a childhood friendship, but also had a rough and in-law relationship in addition to being a fellow town in the same year, he laughed immediately.

"In this way, aren't you brothers better than brothers?"

Cheng Naixuan had never had a good impression of those old pedantic officials. Seeing that Wang Zhuan was so ill as a minister, he joked about himself. Naturally, he felt that the other party was extremely friendly and nodded repeatedly and said, "Wang Siko said it well. I always regarded Shuangmu as a brother of a different surname. If I hadn't had a girl, I would have to let him be my brother-in-law."

Seeing that Cheng Naixuan had made this old habit again, Wang Fulin glared at the guy with anger. Then he remembered Jin Bao, who had given orders in advance but still didn't come here early, and couldn't help frowning. After all, he knew best about Jin Bao's character. As long as it was his order, he would never ignore it. Such excuses as getting up late and getting lost in sleeping would be impossible to use them to excuse him. Since that's the case, how could there be no one at this time? After a moment of pondering, he decided not to worry about this matter first, and to take Wang Zhuan to take a good look at his new home.

Cheng Naixuan started moving here two days ago, and all the houses had already arrived, but the wife of his family, Xu Guo's only daughter, had good news again, so while he was ecstatic, the new family had to bother him, a big man, to arrange the arrangements himself.

Therefore, although he invited his father-in-law Xu Guo to move, Xu Guo was a busy man in the Hanlin Academy and was no longer as idle as the old master. Therefore, he did not expect an elder like his father-in-law to come in person, so he only invited his brother-in-law who was scolded by his marriage and Xu Zhigao, who was also Wang Fulin's brother-in-law, to bring Jinbao together.

So, Wang Fulin was muttering why Jinbao hadn't arrived yet, and Cheng Naixuan was also thinking about why his brother-in-law was late. When the two of them were walking around with Wang Zhuan, they were a little distracted. Fortunately, there were always two people here, and the one who was distracted, they finally didn't show any absent-minded flaws.

Wang Zhuan was also a Jinshi of the Third Class at that time, and the younger generations who were in the Third Class at Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan naturally had a lot of topics. Along the way, he did not show off his literary talent, and the names of pavilions and towers he took were quite easy to understand, because the two courtyards had the most bamboo planted, such as Kongcuiju, Zhuli Pavilion, and the rest were Qing'ai Tower... According to Cheng Naixuan's private statement to Wang Fulin, Wang Shaosiko was obviously a die-hard fan of Wang Wei and Wang Mojie, and each word was taken from Wang Mojie's works. However, the two of them, the three and Jinshi were not particular people, and most of them decided without thinking about it at all.

Chen Bingchang, who followed behind, was naturally responsible for recording. He gradually lost his awe of the third-rank minister after all, Wang Zhuan has been working diligently in the field for so many years, and has studied the classics and history less carefully. Apart from the lyrics he liked when he was a young man, many of the rest were put aside. But several words seemed to be written casually. He thought about them while walking, but in the end he felt a different feeling. But just as Chen Xiaogong was studying all the way, someone called behind him. He turned his head and looked at it, but found that it was the Mo Xiang beside Cheng Naixuan who ran over.

"Young Master, Mr. Wang, Mr. Xu, are here, and you are also bringing Mr. Xu and Brother Bao."

When Wang Fulin heard that Xu Guo had actually come in person, he was surprised. He glanced at Cheng Naixuan and asked clearly, "Your father-in-law is resting today?" Cheng Naixuan didn't hear this when he went back to visit his wife yesterday. At this moment, he shook his head in a daze. Wang Zhuan didn't care and smiled slightly, "I have long admired Xu Xueshi's name, but I didn't expect to meet him here today. I will go over to welcome him with you."

Xu Guo was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Jiajing, and has been in office for twelve years; Wang Zhuan was a Jinshi in the 41st year of Jiajing, only one term earlier than Xu Guo. Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan, who were both around twenty years old, were different. Xu Guo was only 38 years old, and Wang Zhuan was a Jinshi at the age of 43, and was only in the top three. They were all considered late to be successful, but they were not in any relationship before. After meeting, although the two were of different ages and qualifications, they always seemed to greet each other. After a few small greetings, Wang Fu, Lin and Cheng Naixuan saw that the two had something to say, so they pulled Xu Zhigao and Jinbao aside.

Of course, there is only one question they are the most curious about. Why did Xu Guo come?

When Xu Zhigao saw Jin Bao shut up and said nothing, he, as the eldest son of his father, had to answer questions for his brother-in-law and brother-in-law. He coughed softly, and then spoke, "It was because he heard that Wang Sikou was here that his father came. The Hanlin Academy was dismissed from his post this time, and Shen Maoxue Feng Mengzhen planned to get sick again. The rest... there were several Shujishi even editors and editors who wanted to return to the disease. So although my father was not a bachelor of the school, he had to bite the bullet and explore Wang Sikou's tone. Wang Sikou stayed in Beijing this time and was instructed by Yuan Fu. Everyone knows that he is the only person who met Yuan Fu recently."

As soon as these words were said, Cheng Naixuan couldn't help but glance at Wang Fulin at the only person who saw Zhang Juzheng? Hearing Wang Fulin's tone, he had seen Zhang Juzheng more than once during the period of Zhang Juzheng's house guarding the 7th 7th lunar month!

Xu Zhigao naturally didn't know what Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan had exchanged each other, but he could see Cheng Naixuan's strange expression and shouted in a low voice: "Dad has no choice. After all, although the Hanlin Academy is not a practical place like the Tongzheng Department of the Dali Temple of the Six Ministry of Science and Technology, there are many various documentaries compiled, especially the ending stage of Emperor Shizong, and they all gave up and refused to do it. You can't let all the scholars take the lead, right? Besides..." He paused unnaturally, and then whispered, "Dad was also forced to come."

Forced?

Wang Fulin felt that Xu Guo was low-key and restrained and could not stand out. There was no reason why he came here to meet Zhang Juzheng's "confidant". He was naturally very interested when he heard that he was forced. He was like this. Cheng Naixuan, who did not treat his brother-in-law as an outsider, became even more curious. He first made indirect moves, and then he simply pulled Jin Bao to question. In the end, Xu Zhigao, who was so entangled that he could not help, whispered: "It's Ma Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites."

It turned out to be Ma Ziqiang...

Wang Fulin breathed a sigh of relief. Ma Ziqiang was born in the Hanlin Academy and was on the same list as Li Chunfang, the chief assistant of the Longqing period. He was also a Jinshi of the Three-League. It can be seen that even if we are a senior minister of the Pavilion, as long as we can choose Shujishi and stay in the hall, the possibility of entering the Pavilion is no less than that of Dingjia and Secondary School. This started step by step from the Hanlin Academy and was also a Japanese lecturer for Emperor Wanli. He became the Minister of Rites and just resigned as a Japanese lecturer and became the official of the imperial lecturer. Emperor Wanli once refused to leave Ma Ziqiang regardless of his daily lecturer.

This is the old boss who has successively taken charge of the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College. Ma Ziqiang came forward to ask for help. Xu Guo was working hard for the position of the master of the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College. As a bachelor's degree, how could he not give face to his old boss? He really didn't want to come!

Sure enough, after they waited by the side for a while, Xu Guo and Wang Zhuan had already finished the talk. However, judging from the expressions of the two, whether it was Wang Fulin, Cheng Naixuan, Xu Zhigao and Jinbao, they could not tell whether the two had a result. Obviously, compared to cunning, Xu Guo and Wang Zhuan were both extraordinary, and they could not easily see the clues of young people.

However, Xu Guo just walked around the corner. When Cheng Naixuan asked him to write the main hall by himself, he was about to push Wang Zhuan, but after the other party's jokes, he had no choice but to say that his son-in-law and son-in-law had no choice. Finally, he shook his head and said, "Wang, Cheng, Xu families are all large families with many branches, but only a few hall names. You are now officials. In order not to be said to be a numeral, this main hall would rather follow the crowd and just use the ones left by their ancestors. According to me, Jinhua, you can use the Qingyu Hall, the most commonly used branch of the Cheng family in Huaitang."

Although Xu's knowledge is the best in the Hanlin Academy, Wang Fulin couldn't help but want to complain that even though Cheng really had a hall name called Qingyutang, the first thing he thought of was Hu Xueyan's famous Qingyutang, and the second thing he thought of was Qingyunian, because it was too rich, so it was so bad. However, seeing Cheng Naixuan nodding very cautiously, and Wang Zhuan actually praised her face. He knew that the name of Cheng Naixuan's main hall had been finalized.

But after making the decision to Cheng Naixuan, Xu Guo refused to continue to interfere with Wang Fulin, but instead pushed it to Wang Zhuan. Wang Zhuan thought carefully and asked Cheng Naixuan not to forget his ancestors, but refused to let Wang Fulin give him a ancestral hall name. It might have something to do with Wang Fulin leaving Wang Daokun directly. Thinking about Wang Fulin's injustice, he refused. He went to Wang Fulin's study and wrote three words of thick ink and heavy color.

Xin'an Hall.

The name of the main hall in Xin'an is only good at first glance. In fact, tracing the root of the origin, it is also the ancestor of the law of heaven. Even Xu Guo couldn't help laughing. With the two senior officials joining forces, all the interesting courtyards or pavilions in the new houses of Wang Cheng's family were installed with good names. After finally treating the guests and guests and hosts with great pleasure, Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan took the initiative to present a very generous pen.

Of course it is not a vulgar thing in gold and silver, but a seal stone that has a price but no market now...

Xu Guo was born in a poor family and had always been in the Hanlin Academy system in the capital. He had no oil and water at all, so he basically had to leave when he went out... It wouldn't be that after all, he was the largest official in Xu Village now. Not to mention the newly-dead old lady Xu's descendants who still continued to fund him. Even his in-laws, Mr. Cheng, also provided him with various conveniences. He was not aloof, but he only received too much funding, which could only allow him to live a more ordinary life in the capital. Even if his daughter-in-law Ye Mingyue had a generous dowry, he never asked his daughter-in-law to supplement his family's income. The only thing he received was the birthday gift he gave to him on his birthday several times.

Most of them are calligraphy and paintings, but I just gave it this year a chicken blood stone.

Now, Cheng Naixuan, the son-in-law, also gave such a bloodstone. He refused and felt it was unreasonable, so he had to speak, "I got a good central hall before. I asked your uncle to send it to him tomorrow, and it happened to be hung in the hall."

Cheng Naixuan had known that his father-in-law would not take advantage of him, so he would definitely not be much cheaper. He could only laugh and say that this was a pen, not a filial pie. Wang Zhuan looked at Fang Tianhuang in his hand and was a little amused. Taking advantage of the fact that his father-in-law and son-in-law were fighting on the stage, he whispered to Wang Fulin with a stern face: "If I had known that you had taken the opportunity to give gifts and bribes, I would not have come!"

"This is something that Brother Cheng and I have prepared for a long time. Giving it to you is a good thing. The old saying goes, "Give a sword to a hero, and I am not in the Ministry of Justice, but I am just filial to elders, and it is not a big deal to bribe. To be honest, I tell Wang Siko the truth. Brother Cheng's things may be inherited by the ancestors, but I am different. As long as I find the right place, this kind of thing that is hard to find for a hundred golds can sometimes be obtained without much effort. After all, there are many unworthy descendants who sell their ancestors' treasures and fun. I am not a person who scrapes the land. Whether Wang Siko keeps it for his own use or to give it to the children, it is just a thing."

Wang Zhuan had just walked around and thought that these two mansions were located in a relatively low-cost area in Beijing. They looked low-key on the outside, simple on the inside, and the decorations were even less luxurious. So he forgot that Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan were from Huishang families. Therefore, he really couldn't tell whether Wang Fulin had just entered Beijing. When it comes to reason, Wang Fulin should not be able to find out that he is good at Tian Huang! Besides, did Xu Guo also get a valuable blood stone?

So, after thinking about Xu Guo’s return to Zhongtang painting, he thought for a moment and said readily: “Since that’s the case, I saw that your study was not good at inkstone. I happened to have obtained a Chengni inkstone before, and I turned around and gave it to you.”

All these old people are unwilling to take advantage of them... But it's good that they are all very kind people!

Wang Fulin didn't mention that the Sheyan inkstone in his hometown is also one of the famous inkstones in the world. There was only one ordinary product on his table, because he knew that Wang Zhuan had a useless one. Next, he didn't ask how the two bigwigs had negotiated, so he smiled and sent the person out. He was happy to see that Xu Guo was about to invite Wang Zhuan to Jinbao's apprentice banquet before leaving. Of course, Xu Zhigao could not stay and continue to visit after his father left. He still had the important task of studying for the imperial examination to be completed, but Jinbao stayed in the end.

Regarding the news disclosed by Xu Zhigao before, Jin Bao, who is a registered disciple of Xu State, also provided some additional explanation.

"When Ma Shangshu left, the teacher went to see him off in person. I was about to go out. I happened to hear Ma Shangshu say... Even if Xu Xueshi's trip was not successful, he would write a letter to save Wu Zhongxing and Zhao Yongxian. After all, they just wrote a letter to tactfully say that the Prime Minister was not good at robbing the relationship, and the meaning of the poem was not too extreme. Therefore, it was too heavy to be exiled to the army, and at least he had to fight for the dismissal."
