Chapter 896: A picture of grace

Qian Pu, the prefect of Zhending, was worried about gains and losses, until Zhang Jingxiu came out in person and praised his thoughtfulness, saying that his grandmother was extremely satisfied with the supper. He had been waiting for the eternity and spoke to Zhang Jingxiu while being humble. After sending the person in again, he often breathed a sigh of relief and became ecstatic.

Before, Zhang Ning inspires him to reveal the suffering of being criticized for taking office. He said that he is still more careful. But in a blink of an eye, the Silijian family helped him so much, and he felt that he had obtained such a big advantage, but he was still too slow to treat others.

But he had been flattering Zhang Juzheng's sedan chair, which was likely to cause himself a big trouble. Now he dares to give gifts to people like Zhang Ning rashly?

Once he was bitten by a snake and was afraid of the rope for ten years, Qian Pu thought about it, but in the end he still sent someone a message to Zhang Ning, thinking about meeting someone in person to ask clearly so that he would not even have the chance to thank him. However, when he waited for a long time, Zhang Ning came out swayingly, he laughed when he heard him expressing his gratitude carefully.

"What are you thanking for? Besides, I was ordered by the emperor to come down to welcome the grandma. The grandma can eat and sleep well, so I can do this job well. What's more,..." Zhang Ning dragged a long voice and actually patted Qian Pu's shoulder with a smile. "You should thank Wang Zhangdao for talking to you about the sedan chair with you. If you hadn't known that you were just like someone who was circulating behind such a small flattery, the reputation of beating the upper and lower bodies was like a maggot that could not be removed from the bones, and I wouldn't feel sympathetic."

Zhang Ning ignored the word "Mutual Compassion" in such a place. He suddenly showed a bit of murderous intent in his smile: "I was plotted against by a few damn guys back then. Who made those civil servants have a good reputation? I, the eunuch, could only be beaten passively? However, I am lucky than you. I turned into a big thing and made a small thing happen. I took advantage of the threat of losing both sides and showed up with others, and finally I killed two opponents."

This is an infighting in the officialdom in Zhejiang that even Wang Fulin didn't understand after leaving Hangzhou. Zhang Ning did indeed squeeze out a governor and an inspector, although it took a little long.

Qian Pu has been in office for ten years, but now he is a little dumbfounded when he hears Zhang Ning's words.

Is Zhang Ning really helping him such a big help because he was excluded and plotted against others? You know, his little prefect is not helpful to this father-in-law!

Zhang Ning didn't care much about Qian Pu's entanglement and said to himself: "At present, you have no other way to go, you can only go to Yuanfu's boat. The wife of the Zhang family was very comfortable eating. When she returned to Beijing, Yuanfu's impression of you would be better. In short, don't thank me, thank you Wang Zhang. I can't speak in front of Yuanfu, and I can't help you next, but he is different."

Anyway, civil servants of Qian Pu's level don't have much help to him, but they may not be able to do anything to Wang Fulin. The two have always met each other, even if he can help him recruit someone? Although flattery may be very despised by the gentleman who is so flawed, Wang Fulin should not be the kind of person who sticks to the details. Otherwise, why did he help himself a eunuch with a bad reputation? Besides, Qian Pu's political achievements are good, and it is understandable to support and win over!

He didn't think about it at all. Wang Fulin is now just a seventh-grade supervisor and censor, but he is the leader of Guangdong Road, so he can't even help a magistrate from the fourth-grade Zhending.

However, Qian Pu's eyes flashed, and then he became happy. He thought he had guessed Zhang Ning and came to mention the biggest reason behind him.

Wang Fulin didn't know that Zhang Ning had done a lot of help from Qian Pu, and even gave him a lot of gratitude. It was not easy to hold his teeth with the old man, and it was even more difficult to control the rhythm. Therefore, when he finished telling the story with time and sent Mrs. Zhao to bed, he was also very tired.

After all, he went straight from the capital to the Chen family in Xian County, Hejian Prefecture to give a funeral ceremony, and then he went to Zhending Prefecture without stopping, staying back for one night, and was also responsible for continuing to go to the capital with him.

Although there is no major problem on the road, after all, Mrs. Zhao has lived longer than Zhang Juzheng, which is a historical event, but the butterfly wings have been led by him long ago!

After leaving the room, he couldn't help but yawn, but found that Zhang Jingxiu and his brothers were looking at him in one go. Among them, Zhang Jingxiu, the youngest, had his eyes flashed, reminding him of the Jinbao back then. He smiled and stroked the little guy's head without hesitation, and then asked with his hands in his arms: "Why, are you surprised to see that I'm here to pick you up today?"

Zhang Jingxiu did not answer positively, but made no doubt gestures to let the younger brothers go to bed. However, although his elder brother's words were very effective for the three younger brothers, Zhang Maoxiu did not move at all. Instead, he coughed and said, "Brother, we have been leaving the capital for so long. Finally, we saw Shiqing. Now my grandmother has slept again. I also held up all the words to ask him, "Just be fine, keep me and talk together."

Zhang Jingxiu had no choice but to glar at this third brother who had always been smart, so he could only glar at someone and drag Wang Fulin to the room he had assigned to him. Seeing that his elder brother was not opposed, Zhang Maoxiu smiled and told his fourth brother Zhang Jianxiu a few words, and then chased after him. As they left, the fifth brother Zhang Yunxiu immediately drooped his face: "Treat us as children again. The fourth brother is almost twenty years old this year. Grandma had told his mother that he would handle your marriage in the year. I am also fourteen. What big things can't be allowed to be heard together?"

Although the fourth brother Zhang Jianxiu, who was named by the fifth brother, wanted to join in the fun, the third brother just now took his instructions and looked at his two younger brothers, so he could only obey his orders. At this moment, he didn't take Zhang Yunxiu's words at all, and he pulled Zhang Jingxiu up and pushed Zhang Yunxiu up, and walked towards the room without saying a word. While walking, he thought, what would Wang Fulin, who had a deeper relationship with his three brothers, say to them?

Wang Fulin really didn't want to say anything. Facing the eldest and third brothers of the Zhang family, they were eager to find out the situation in the court during the period when they were not in the capital, but he yawned again without giving him face, and then raised his hand and surrendered: "I said, two young masters Zhang, can you spare me? I'm really dozing off all the way, so I finally followed your business in Zhending Mansion. If I want to hear it, I will tell you enough while Yuan Fu is not in the Zhang family. Can I just let me sleep together? It's really a thing of the past, and no matter how thrilling it is, it's not as important as the current thing."

When Zhang Jingxiu heard Wang Fulin use the word "thrilling" and couldn't help but complain: "If you don't want to say it, don't mention the thrilling. Isn't this intention to keep it in the middle?"

Zhang Maoxiu was not that easy to talk. While smiling, he pressed down on Wang Fulin's shoulders to leave, and squeezed his eyes at his brother and said, "So, don't ride a horse tomorrow. You know, since the magistrate of Zhending Qian sent his father a sedan chair, there were many people who sent carriages along the way. Although the carriage that sent my grandmother this time was originally specially made, when he passed by Xingtai County, Shunde Prefecture, the local magistrate still sent another carriage. The workmanship was very good and the bumps were extremely small. How about changing it to you tomorrow?"

Seeing Wang Fulin's helpless look, he continued to smile and said, "My elder brother and I really don't want to turn a blind eye to the things outside the window. We only focus on reading the books of sages. Although we can't help our father, we can't be unaware of any matters outside, right?"

Although Wang Fulin was indeed exhausted, the two brothers were reluctant to ask. He used super induction to briefly mention the various things that happened to them from Beijing to Jiangling to attend the funeral. It took less than a quarter of an hour in total. When Zhang Maoxiu and Zhang Jingxiu finally digested the strange events, exchanged glances with each other and wanted to continue asking questions, they saw Wang Fulin shrinking his head and falling asleep like this! Now, even though they had thousands of questions and were puzzled, they could only smile bitterly.

Whether it is pretending to be asleep or really sleeping, Wang Fulin has said that he will be on the way before. They can't force him too much. Let him go tonight!

The capital, Zhending and Baoding, have always been the three major cities in Northern Zhili, and there are many Buddhist temples in Zhending Prefecture. Especially among the so-called Three Treasures of Hebei, Cangzhou Lion Jingzhou Tower, the great Bodhisattva of Zhending Prefecture. The last one refers to the bronze statue of Thousand Hands Thousand Eyes Guanyin enshrined in Longxing Temple in Zhending during the Northern Song Dynasty. After hearing people mentioned it in the early years, Mrs. Zhao really wanted to visit it, but now she wants to see it even more when she passes through the border. However, the emperor actually sent Wang Fulin and Zhang Ning to greet her directly to Zhending Prefecture. Even though she has been in Jiangling all her life and has never taken a step beyond Huguang, she vaguely realized that it is not suitable to stay in Zhending Prefecture for more.

What's more, the brothers Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu both advised her to leave early and to go to the capital early to reunite with her father Zhang Juzheng.

Therefore, early in the morning the next morning, Mrs. Zhao got on the first carriage accompanied by her daughter-in-law Wang and her eldest grandson Gao, and got on the first carriage and left. Of course, Wang Fulin, who was not sleepy enough, would not have gone out of the city to sleep on the carriage promised by the Zhang brothers. Seeing that more than a dozen carriages with people and carriages gradually started, the left and right guards and entourages had followed him. He was about to turn over the horse, but he didn't expect that after releasing other officials, the prefect Qian Pu suddenly reached out to hold him, paused for a moment and said sincerely: "Wang Zhangdao, I will never thank you for your kindness. I will remember your righteousness in my life."

Wang Fulin was just confused. Why was he righteous? He had asked Qian Pu quietly that his political achievements were correct, but he had not returned to Beijing and told Zhang Juzheng that Qian Pu was so well-informed? If this was the case, how could he be plotted behind his back and exaggerated the content of his gift?

He was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a strange look on his face: "Zun Qian Fu, have you said this? What a great kindness? I have never done anything last night to this morning."

"Wang Zhang said you are a kind person. I sent Eunuch Zhang to remind me that I specially asked me to prepare a light diet for the grandmother and the others, but I refused to take credit for it. Thanks to Eunuch Zhang who couldn't see you, you were not willing to take credit for it. I specifically reminded me." Seeing that Wang Fulin was surprised, Qian Pu mistakenly thought that the other party had not expected that Zhang Ning did not keep the secret, and quickly explained, "Eunuch Zhang did not say it clearly, but I am not such a dull person. I guessed it in a few seconds. Although I am just the prefect of Zhending, my future future is extremely limited, but Wang Zhang said that as long as you have something, just give me instructions, I will do my best!"

What are these and what? Last night, he was dragged to tell me endlessly, so how could I have time to take care of the food? Why did Zhang Ning be a good person himself push this kind of kindness to himself?

Wang Fulin felt that ten thousand question marks were circling in his head. However, since Zhang Ning was so kind, he would not have broken the arrangements. He immediately turned vaguely and then instructed: "Your little thing is not to take Qianfu Zun to heart. Zhending and Baoding are the two barriers to the southwest of the capital, and the Northern Zhili Mansion. I will naturally tell the relevant people one by one about the rumor that you just have your heart when you are in office. If you have any questions, you can write to me."

Although he couldn't guess Zhang Ning's true intention, Wang Fulin decided to continue selling well. He really planned to go back to Beijing to mention Zhang Juzheng's infinitely exaggerated sedan chair. However, his attitude made Qian Pu further confirm his guess. While he was ecstatic, he felt that although this young censor, who was at the top of his name, came down from the capital to work as an emperor, was humble and kind, without the picky and mean censor style, he was righteous and honest, and could really rely on him.

So he immediately said without thinking: "The officials in the future will rely on Wang Zhangshu!"

The two of them spoke in broad daylight. Although others might not hear clearly what they were saying, every move could at least make people see clearly that Qian Pu was really afraid and was said to be giving gifts to Wang Fulin and so on. So, when they bid farewell to each other and watched Wang Fulin get on the horse, they had a good reputation in recent years and had good political achievements. This time, the prefect Qian, who was so bad that he had a bad reputation, wiped his forehead.

Anyway, it's already like this. Zhang Juzheng may not always remember him when he walks all the way, but Wang Fulin, as Zhang Juzheng's die-hard confidant, was willing to help him, and he was already satisfied!

After Wang Fulin caught up with the front army, he said to Zhang Ning on the excuse that he had something to say, and called people to ride horses together and landed far away at the last head of the group. He directly recounted what Qian Pu had just left behind, and then asked helplessly: "I said, Eunuch Zhang, we are not outsiders. You do good deeds yourself, but you insist on owing to me?"

"A magistrate like Qian Pu is not high or low, but it is definitely not low. If he is a prefect, he can immediately give up the position of the prefect, that is, the governor participates in politics or the deputy envoy of the inspector. If he is lucky, he will be moved to the capital and be able to enter the Dali Temple Shaoqing, which will be even better. But in short, it will be of no use to me to show kindness to me, but it will be different for you."

Speaking of this, Zhang Ning paused and then said softly: "I told you that it was just luck to be promoted to the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank
