Chapter 182 181 Hesitation
In the evening, after having supper in the lobby outside, Lao Kan started to organize a bureau to make money, which was the only fun for those of the Jinshi who had not been arranged to go there.
Wei Guangde waved his hand, "I'm the only one who plays today. I received my letter from home today. I have to go back to compile a book. If someone returns to his hometown in Jiangxi, I will ask someone to take it back."
"What's the rush to do? It's not too late to write a letter when the exam results come out and settle the place to go. Ask who's here to write a letter back."
When Lao Kan heard Wei Guangde's reason, he immediately smiled.
"That's right, I have to wait until I've arranged to write a letter back. Now my family may have received the results of our palace examination, and there is nothing to say. I'll tell my family when I get off my official position."
Zhang Ke answered.
"What are you talking about when you write a letter now? Is there an official position? If you have taken the first grade and have already obtained the official position, it is reasonable to write the letter. Let's go and play a few games before talking about it."
Wei Guangde heard it and felt that it made sense. He had no decision on his official position and didn't know what to say when writing a letter. As for the matter of the land, he was not in a hurry.
The fields around Jiujiang Prefecture are not that easy to buy, and the norm is the price but not the market.
Jiujiang Prefecture, Wei’s House.
"You heard from my elder brother that I must be an official in the capital. Do you see when will you find someone to take that money?"
Wei's mother sat on the bed and said leisurely, "My son has been away from home for several months, and Wei's mother misses her son."
"Wait first, when Guangde left, he said that he would definitely become an official when he went there this time. He would send us a letter to us and let us live in the capital for some time."
Dad Wei looked at his wife and smiled, "Wait, when Guangdexin comes back, we are sending him a letter."
"Actually, I should write to him now, tell him about that and see what his son is."
Wei's mother thought of another thing and said again.
After hearing this, Dad Wei shook his head and said, "No need. We have agreed. The parents are the parents who decide their children's marriages. Since ancient times, he has been able to make a big splash."
"But, at least I have to tell my son."
Wei's mother still insisted on saying.
"Okay, I will write a letter tomorrow and ask someone to take it over. I think Guangde will not refuse this marriage, it will only benefit him but not harm him."
Dad Wei thought about it and said.
"Yes, I think so too, I just don't know if there is anyone else in my son's mind."
Wei's mother said.
"What did you say? Is it my son?"
Dad Wei asked in surprise with wide eyes.
"No, I just thought that the waiter couldn't stay at home before and often ran out." Wei's mother explained the reason he guessed.
"No, that kid went out to play with his classmates at night. I heard Shigui say that he and Zhang Hongfu both like to go to Cuixiutang to drink and listen to music, not what you think."
Dad Wei sighed with relief and said, "Wei Guangde and his classmates and friends went to a brothel to mess around. Dad Wei had encountered him, but he didn't say anything. As long as he didn't mess around inside, he just drank and listened to the song."
"Do you think the waiter is unhappy? After all, we just heard what the Zhang family said, and we agreed without seeing it."
We are still very worried.
Well, no matter how well others say, if Wei’s mother didn’t see it with her own eyes, she would still feel that it was unsafe and worried that she would be deceived.
"You are too worried. You have seen Mr. Xu's appearance. I think it's not much different for his dear sister."
The ancients actually had a face control. No matter how good the person who started his family looked, as long as he had money, he would marry a beautiful woman. No matter how bad the genes were improved several times, they would become better.
This is the case with the Xu family. The ancestors of the Xu family are not bad either. The women who can enter the Duke of Wei’s Mansion naturally cannot be crooked. Under normal circumstances, the men born are all handsome and the women are also delicate and charming. Under normal circumstances, there will be no things that Wei’s mother is worried about.
As for whether Mr. Xu can inherit the title in the end, it is relatively unimportant.
In the Ming Dynasty, the water splashed by the married daughter and the Xu family's daughter married into the Wei family, which had nothing to do with the Duke of Wei's mansion.
What's more, as far as we are concerned, if the Wei family was still a vassal of the Xu family in the past, then it would be different now.
Wei Guangde has become a Jinshi, and his superior will only be the emperor rather than his Xu family.
When will civil officials still be afraid of nobles?
Besides, in Wei Guangde's palace examination results, Zhang Qing and Zhang Tongzhi went to the Wei family specially. They and Zhang Shigui and Wu Zhankui analyzed in detail the signals released by Wei Guangde's first place in the second place this time.
Wei Guangde should have been attracted by a big shot in Beijing. Not to mention his success, he will not be bad at least.
Wei Meng naturally realized that Zhang Shigui, who had a sense of superiority in front of him, had a very different feeling of superiority today than before, and seemed much gentler.
In fact, after Mr. Xu came to Jiujiang Prefecture again, his attitude changed a lot, but today the changes are even more obvious.
In the inner room of the Duke of Wei State in Nanjing, Xu Bangrui stood in the lower head with his hands down.
He returned to Yingtian from Jiujiang Prefecture this afternoon, but when he returned to the mansion, he received information about Wei Guangde's ranking in the palace examination.
To be honest, Xu Bangrui and Mr. Xu were still very surprised at that time.
The first place in the second grade is no longer a normal palace examination score.
Although he was not happy with the Duke of Wei, Xu Pengju, he still understood the education he should have and the things he should know. If he ranks at the lower level in the imperial examination, he should be ranked in the third grade.
However, Wei Guangde's ranking in the palace examination really surprised him. Even Yan Song and his son, who are powerful in the court and the opposition, would not be able to control the result. Moreover, the position of Chuanlu was not determined by Yan Song, and it was not the way to take care of his fellow villagers.
In this palace examination, there were too many fellow villagers in Jiangxi. Why is Wei Guangde?
And what happened to Huiyuan Jinda?
There is something weird inside here.
In the evening, my father, Xu Pengju, Duke of Wei, returned to the mansion at the banquet, and Xu Bangrui asked him to see him as soon as possible.
Of course, he didn't want to ask about the palace examination when he was looking for Xu Pengju. His father couldn't reach Beijing, and he could still have some energy in Nanjing. After all, he had already shown signs of alienation from the royal family when he was stationed in Nanjing for many years.
The main reason was that this time he went to Jiujiang Prefecture. Wei Guangde of the Wei family did not get engaged. He also expressed his intention to betroth his sister to Wei Guangde in a very obscure way. Wei Meng only hesitated for a while and took the initiative to mention this matter happily.
Wei Meng was naturally not a fool. After Xu Bangrui asked about Wei Guangde's marriage, he said that he still had a girl of fifteen years old and had not yet betrothed, so he naturally understood what Xu Bangrui said.
They were talking in Jiujiang. Now they just waited to come back and think about Xu Pengju, the helmsman of the family, who was in charge of Wei. He decided to write to Jiujiang. Even if this matter was settled, it was time to go through the process of releasing the media.
After listening to Xu Bangrui's report, Xu Pengju just glanced at his son casually. To be honest, he looked like him, but he was not as well-behaved as the young one, and a little dull.
In fact, maybe it’s not just dullness, but accustomed to hiding his own ideas. Xu Pengju always felt that his eldest son was a little private and seemed to like to make some small moves behind his back.
Perhaps the family environment has been around for a long time. After his mother went there, she felt that no one was in love with her, so she became more and more distant from her.
However, Xu Pengju always disliked this son who was a little private, so he did have the idea of establishing his youngest son as the prince.
Before, when Xu Bangrui mentioned Wei Guangde, he was just a young and over-the-top scholar, so Xu Pengju naturally didn't care.
His daughter must at least have an official position to marry. Although the juren can have an official position, it is far from that.
Later, he became a post-Jinshi, which was barely suitable, at least to the minimum.
The third grade is only said that the fourth grade is expected, but it will be difficult to go up further.
From the perspective of home stability, he thinks it seems to be a good choice.
If Wei Guangde really became his son-in-law, he would definitely help Xu Bangrui and would not be able to help Xu Bangning.
The position is low, and the influence is naturally small. A woman who has no worries about food and clothing after marrying is worthy of her mother.
However, when the Beijing City sent the palace examination results two days ago, Xu Pengju regretted it a little. The reason was very simple. He naturally knew that Wei Guangde must have lost his luck and was attracted by Emperor Jiajing. Otherwise, the ranking of the palace examination would not have changed so much.
Although I don’t know the reason, the facts are obvious and it’s very troublesome.
If he is not handled properly, he will offend a future emperor close minister.
Although he is a top noble, he is not afraid of a fledgling boy like Wei Guangde, but it will be troublesome if he blows his ears in front of the emperor every day in the future.
If you want to do something in the future, report it to the emperor, and then someone will say that this is not good or that is wrong, that it is punished for big things and scolded for small things.
Well, Xu Pengju is actually very confused now.
He didn't want to deal with this marriage anymore, but he was worried that he would offend people because of this.
"You should know what he wants to be in."
Xu Pengju said casually: "The first place in the second grade is Chuanlu, this is a must-have to be an official in the court, but the officialdom in the capital is very chaotic now, and if you are not careful, you will cause a big disaster.
I just received the news today that Wang Yongbin was sent to the Nanjing Ministry of Personnel as the Minister of State for the Li Mo case.
After half a month, Li Mo died in the Heavenly Prison. He is the Minister of Personnel."
Seeing what Xu Bangrui wanted to say, Xu Pengqiu waved his hand and said, "This matter will allow me to think about for another two days. After all, it is related to your girl's happiness for the rest of her life. I must treat it with caution, so that it is worthy of your mother.
In fact, he was almost in the ranking test. After the political observation, it was good for me to find someone to transfer him to Jiangnan to find a wealthy county to be an official. Unfortunately, I was destined to not be able to take care of him."
When Xu Bangrui heard his father say this, he felt clearly in his heart. He was worried that he would not stand firm in the court, but he would rather worry that his brother-in-law would have a firm foothold in the court and his influence would be expanded.
There was no way, Xu Bangrui lowered his head and said, "Yes."
"It's hard for you to have such days on the road. Go back early to rest."
Xu Pengju continued, and when he saw Xu Bangrui turning around and leaving, he suddenly called him and said, "Tomorrow, you go to the inner warehouse to choose two boxes of jewelry to send to your sister.
Well, you can choose two boxes for your wife.”
After saying this, Xu Pengju waved his hand to signal him to leave.
