Although Zhang Ning was too despised Qian Pu, Wang Fulin was more concerned about the governance of Zhending Prefecture, both of them had to admit that Qian Pu took them to welcome Mrs. Zhao at this time, and it was indeed not excessive. At least, Qian Pu brought all the officials in the government office, the officials of the Zhending County Office, and most of the officials, and did not mobilize hundreds of boys and girls to the outside of the city to sway flags and shout, nor did he mobilize the people to welcome him. Moreover, he was very informed and tactful and placed Wang Fulin and Zhang Ning who were ordered by the emperor in front, and he was willing to stay behind, without any intention of competing for the limelight with the two of them.

Just because of these two points, Wang Fulin felt that this Zhending prefect was different from the rumors. He was a very capable and capable person.

While waiting, he chatted with Qian Pu, but found something that he had not noticed before. Qian Pu was actually a Jinshi in the second year of Longqing, that is, his father-in-law Ye Dapao! If it were just this, maybe he would not be particularly enthusiastic about people. However, when he jokingly asked Qian Pu's tribute to Zhang Juzheng, a sedan chair that was one bedroom and one living room, Qian Pu actually shook his head into a rattle, and he was a little curious.

"Wang Zhangdao was kidding. When Yuan Fu arrived at Zhending Mansion, he mentioned that there were often cabinets on the post roads that were urgently delivered, but they were narrow and small in the carriage, which was difficult to deal with official documents. So I thought that the post roads from Zhending Mansion to Xingtai, Handan, Anyang, Weihui, and Xinxiang were all thoroughfares before crossing the Yellow River. The roads were well built, and the sedan was slightly larger and could pass through. So I found sixteen top sedan chairmen, divided into two shifts. The eight people carried the sedan chair hall was also driven out overnight to shelter from wind and rain. In addition to Yuan Fu, there was also one more boy to serve the pen and ink. There was no such luxury as the rumors!"

"Not to mention anything else, how big is the sedan chair in the living and bedroom separate, how many sedan chairs should be carried together? Apart from the emperor's carriage, where did I go to find dozens of sedan chairs who know how to walk together without hitting each other? Moreover, it took Yuan Fu from the capital to Jiangling County for only more than twenty days. If he really sat in such a sedan chair, how could he go in a day? And there were also mountains and ridges in the middle, and the Yellow River. How could such a big sedan ride through?"

After several questions in a row, he was stunned when he saw Wang Fulin. Qian Pu's eyes were dull and his face turned pale: "Even Wang Zhang said, you asked this, is it true that the capital... is it so spreading?"

Thinking of the descriptions of later generations that he had seen, he didn't think much about it when he heard this in the Censorate, but he felt in his heart that Zhang Juzheng shouldn't be so silly. Wang Fulin couldn't help but reflect on himself deeply. He had no say without seeing things. Although Zhang Juzheng was indeed too silly and uncontrollable in some places, he shouldn't dare to blatantly overcome the restrictions of the sedan chairperson. So when he looked at Qian Pu, the legendary initiator of the luxury sedan chair, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to the other party.

It is true that he gave Zhang Juzheng a sedan chair, but the rumors were so rumored that Qian Pu's reputation was defeated!

Seeing Qian Pu crying, Zhang Ning, who also heard the chat, couldn't help but feel a little bit of asymmetry, especially when Qian Pu took office as the prefect of Zhending, he thought of himself from the other party's experience. Thinking back, when he first took office as eunuch of the Beixin Customs Customs, he was not treated as a soft persimmon by the Bu Xingdu Sansi, but he was secretly tampering with those guys who fought, causing such a riot to attack Beixin Customs? If it weren't for Wang Fulin and Yu Yuan, he might have lost his life and would have taken the blame to death!

Now, Qian Pu is just flattering, but is slandered by other people's rumors to the point where it exceeds the rules. If it comes back to the emperor, Zhang Juzheng will certainly be recorded as arrogant and domineering, where can Qian Pu get it?

So he coughed and said, "Qianfu Zun, the pure ones will be clear, and the turbid ones will be turbid, and you don't have to take it seriously. As long as you have good political achievements, are you still afraid that others will point fingers behind your back?"

Wang Fulin comforted Qian Pu a few words in Zhang Ning's tone, but he thought to himself that he was embarrassed to ask Zhang Juzheng about the sedan chair before, but he believed it. Although Qian Ning explained it clearly to him and Zhang Ning, the problem was something that people at that time liked to talk about. It was a curious news. Who cares whether you are true or false?

Moreover, political achievements are simply insignificant compared to taking sides or positioning. It would be fine if you were an honest official like Hai Rui. The more you dismissed, the more you become, the more you are, the more you are, and others will have no choice but to do anything to you, but if you are not innocent, you will be sorry. The law of prospering and losing both is irrefutable.

Therefore, in the following time, he confirmed that Mrs. Zhao and her party would have to arrive later, so he let Qian Pu and Zhang Ning, a civil servant and an eunuch, talked in a while, retreated to a curtain hall that was set up, stripped off the official uniforms to Feng Zhong, who was following the entourage, changed into plain clothes, and finally found a few students who came to greet him spontaneously, pretended to be scholars passing by Zhending Mansion to watch the lively. He asked about Qian Pu's political achievements with great interest, but found that Qian Pu's official reputation was not bad in Zhending Mansion, but because someone promoted his delivery to the sedan hall, many people are secretly saying that he was flattering Zhang Juzheng.

After a while, when he really found out what the sedan chair was, the front report that the lady had come to the front and then slipped away quietly, put on her official uniform and reached the forefront.

In addition to the grandchildren of Zhang Jingxiu, the grandchildren of the army and military affairs bureau, Wei Chao, who was ordered by the imperial court. He had never come back since he was ordered to travel back to Jiangling with Zhang Juzheng's son Zhang Jingxiu and others. He was a grand eunuch busy managing the funeral of the Zhang family in Jiangling County, Jingzhou Prefecture, and was a bit like a private official of the Zhang family. But at this moment, when Wei Chao, who had been away from Beijing for nearly a year, saw Wang Fulin and Zhang Ning, he was full of smiles and politeness, as if he was very satisfied with the heterodynamics this year.

Wang Fulin and Zhang Ningxian said a few words to Mrs. Zhao, who was helped out in the carriage. Then they met with Wei Chao, the eunuch who was also on duty, and then turned to Zhang Jingxiu and said hello to Wang Fulin. Although Wang Fulin was extremely familiar with each other, they didn't bother to greet each other at this moment, and nodded to each other as a greeting. After all, it was naturally not suitable to have a private relationship at the critical point at the gate at the city gate and the night gate was about to be closed.

On the way back to the city, Wang Fulin and Zhang Ning greeted him, but they were mingling with the Zhang brothers, which made Qian Pu, the prefect of Zhending, admire him very much.

In order to entertain the vast Zhang family, Qian Pu had already borrowed a clean and tidy villa with a wealthy family in the city, and it took a lot of effort from decoration to cleaning. However, after he had settled the Zhang family, Zhang Jingxiu came out and passed on a light word.

"The Grandma said, I have to worry about it."

After bowing to Qian Pu, Zhang Jingxiu didn't care much about the look of disappointment from the Zhending Prefect, and came straight to Wang Fulin and Zhang Ning, and said with a smile: "The Grandmaster said that it was Eunuch Zhang and Wang Zhangdao that he had worked hard. I asked if you had used supper. If not, please go to have dinner together, so that it would be more lively."

Zhang Ning naturally knew that the name of the sermon sermon was not known to Mrs. Zhao, and the Zhang brothers might not have heard of it. After all, Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao had equal status. If he were a writer, he might have a higher opinion. What is a sermon? Mrs. Zhao specially invited him to go there, just because he was the special envoy in the palace. In addition, it was probably because he was the only one who was traveling with Wang Fulin.

Qian Pu was even more envious for a moment. You should know that the third stop of Zhang Juzheng when he set off was Zhending Mansion, so he was so ingenious that he was sent to the sedan hall to make Zhang Juzheng highly appreciated. Some prefecture-county officials after him were not flattering, but the officials in front had racked their brains to think of everything they should think of, so it was difficult to be outstanding. Now Mrs. Zhao is the same as going north from Jingzhou. When he arrived at Zhending Mansion, it was naturally difficult for him to overwhelm the various tricks of the officials in front.

Knowing that Zhang Ning was sent from the palace, and Wang Fulin had a special relationship with the Zhang family, he saw Zhang Jingxiu laughing and leading the two of them in. He didn't dare to expect that, and after watching the three of them go, he tiptoed back.

But who would have thought that in a short while, he would meet Zhang Ning again. When he met, he couldn't help but ask in wonder: "Eunuch Zhang and Wang Zhangdao are you going to accompany the grandmother to have supper?"

"I'll ask Wang Zhandao to go first and come out and tell you something."

Zhang Ning looked around, but whispered to Qian Pu: "We are all people who have suffered losses, so I remind you. I see that the grandmother and several young masters Zhang described their fatigue. Although the inside and outside are properly taken care of the inside and outside along the way, it is inevitable that the hard work of riding a horse will be hard to avoid. I don't know what delicious wines are prepared in the kitchen, but if there are some side dishes, you might as well serve them first, which may be more suitable for your appetite. As for those good ingredients, it will not be wasted. The Zhang family escorted the capital all the way to Beijing and can definitely eat them. Even if you have hard work, it is better to reward yourself. Of course, today is the Double Ninth Festival, so don't forget this chrysanthemum wine, Chongyang cake, etc.."

"Thank you, Eunuch Zhang, for your reminder."

Qian Pu nodded almost without thinking. The chef in the house here was invited by him from the best restaurant in Zhending Mansion City. He was proficient in all kinds of martial arts. However, at this time, Zhang Ning, the Sili Supervisory Hall, spoke without thinking about it, and quickly agreed. After he went to the kitchen in the back to know, although the chef was hesitant about the Zhang family's masters and the servants of the Zhang family were hesitant to eat big fish and meat, the servants of the family ordered that they could only do it. It was not until they personally watched two batches of food for different people in the Zhang family that Qian Pu suddenly shuddered.

Oh no, even if the grandparents and grandchildren of the Zhang family really plan to eat lighter, if they know that the servants eat better, will they be upset when they look back? This Zhang Ning and Zhang are still quite in agreement with him before. They are also a good person, so they won’t harm him, right?

Wang Fulin, who had seen Mrs. Zhao again earlier than Zhang Ning, smiled and met with Yijiayou. He originally thought that Mrs. Zhao had a lot of age and had a bad memory. He had seen him once in Zhang's Mansion in Jiangling County many years ago. People definitely couldn't remember him, but he didn't expect that Mrs. Zhao looked at him a few times and was actually smiling.

"After my grandchildren returned home, I remembered the little official Wang back then. I still remember when I peeled oranges for you to eat, you were quite shy and grew so old in a flash. I heard that you also married a pretty wife and an adopted son in your teens. You will bring them to me at any time?"

Zhang Juzheng can be called a real poor family, so his parents are not from Er'er, and Mrs. Zhao seems to have no airs at this moment. Of course, Mrs. Zhao is definitely not the so-called old lady in the countryside that some people in later generations maliciously commented. Jiangling County is the head county of Jingzhou Prefecture. If this is considered a countryside, how could Wang Fulin, who was born in Songmingshan Village? Of course, his son became the chief minister and Mrs. Zhao, who was used to being flattered, wouldn't he speak so kindly when he met anyone. The impression was very good back then, and the grandchildren said that Wang Fulin was good and another one. At this time, he saw handsome and likable, which was the most important one.

The old man always likes to look at handsome men.

He usually deals with elderly people in the officialdom, but now he suddenly wants to change his style and act well-behaved. Wang Fulin had to change his mood a little, and put it into the template of the grandson-in-law when he went to Ningbo to pay homage to Xiaobei's grandmother, Old Lady Ye, and quickly adjusted it.

"It's been so many years. Grandma, you have a good memory. I still remember you said at the beginning that I hope I can study hard and be a right-hand man for the Prime Minister in the future. Now I can't be called my right-hand man, but I can help a little. Not only have I married a wife, but I also have an adopted son who passed the imperial examination. Last year, my wife gave birth to a fat boy for me, but her two sons are now in Huizhou. I will definitely show you if I have the chance to go to Beijing in the future. When I arrive in the capital, I will take my wife to see you."

"Oh, your father has just been an official for a few years, and his adopted son has passed the imperial examination? Really, he will definitely be like Dalang again in the future, and he is a good talent who can be ranked at the top of the list at a young age!"

It would be fine when Zhang Jingxiu heard his grandmother praise Jinbao, but he actually used his father Zhang Juzheng to make an example, and he couldn't help but laugh and cry. But he couldn't remind his grandmother, so he could only stare at Wang Fulin, thinking that you should always know that grandmother's big man refers to his father Zhang Juzheng, not Zhang Sixiu.

Of course, Wang Fulin was able to realize it, so he quickly was humble. When Mrs. Zhao started to ask about his experiences over the years, he thought about the affairs in the officialdom and told him that the old man couldn't understand it, so he simply took out the ups and downs of the story of going to Liaodong and the story of going to Macau when he was in Guangdong, and these ups and downs and plot-like stories.

Sure enough, this interesting story, coupled with the side dishes that were served in the porridge and side dishes, was very appetizing. Mrs. Zhao actually took a big bowl of mung bean porridge and half a piece of Chongyang cake in one breath. Even the Zhang brothers saw a plate of cucumber dipping sauce, a plate of diced radish, a plate of cold tofu diced chrysanthemum, a plate of fried Chinese cabbage, and the cold wild vegetables that they couldn't name, and a bowl of hot egg custard, all of them were greatly appreciated.

I’m almost tired of eating the delicacies of the mountains and the sea!

After the meal, Mrs. Zhao said with a smile: "It was the first time I started here from Jiangling that I ate so comfortably and feel so good!"
