Chapter 497 Zhang Taizheng, a guilty conscience

A storm that ordinary people didn't notice was quietly calmed down just like a sudden incident.

Since the people sent to Shuntian Prefecture are collecting money and eliminating disasters, and unable to tell the details of the people, they naturally become the most ideal person to take the blame. After a blow, they cried and shouted at her parents, and no one paid attention to what happened after crying for her father and mother.

Wang Fulin's leisure lasted only two days, and this was the three brothers of the Wang family who had compassion for his hard work when he had just arrived in the capital. However, this time it was not a dawn to solve the problem and do eight-legged essays. The Wang family sent a stack of copybooks. In Wang Daokun's words, neither the Taoist exam nor the provincial exam can compare with the importance of the imperial exam. Moreover, even examiners are often first-class potential stars, and they are unparalleled in calligraphy. In addition, practicing calligraphy can calm down, and by the way, Wang Fulin, who has been too reckless in recent years, can only accept such good intentions.

No matter in the past and present, he wrote his handwriting very well. Besides, he had to write neatly in the exam, and there was no room for other fonts to play. But the more neat the words, the more he could see his skills. The few copies given by Wang Daokun were the handwritten copies of the most famous calligraphy masters of the dynasty, rather than printed or copied. The preciousness was naturally self-evident. For several days, Wang Fulin copied 3,000 characters a day. If he had not practiced swords to strengthen his body, he would have tried to eat and drink at home. He was so active by nature that he would have been unable to hold it in his hands.

When he didn't go out, Xiaobei originally planned to accompany Hongxiu Tianxiang next to him. But he couldn't help but say that Wang Fulin didn't want to be a deaf and mute, and this small family had no housework to deal with. So she had to go around, sometimes going to the Wang Mansion, talk to Mrs. Wu and go to the Buddhist temple, sometimes going to the Xu family, going out for a walk with Miss Xu, and going to the Buddhist temple to pray for a child together. Although Wang Fulin was never in a hurry, the two elders of the Wang family also looked very calm. They were not as anxious as the old lady and the wife of the Cheng family, and she was not as anxious as Miss Xu, and she was eager to have a child immediately, but at this time standing in front of Guanyin statue, she couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

Her impression of her biological mother has always been very vague. I wonder if her mother regretted her when she insisted on marrying her father Hu Zongxian at any time and gave birth to her daughter, but later passed away early?

"Sister.Sister?"

Xiaobei suddenly came to his senses and saw that Miss Xu had already worshipped the Bodhisattva and straightened her waist. Then she quickly got up and said with a smile: "Sister Xu. Are you leaving now?"

"Well." Miss Xu and Xiaobei met and met because of Xu Wei. After marrying Cheng Naixuan, they had more contact with Xiaobei, and their friendship was naturally very different from before. Although she was shy by nature, after going out to get in the car, she couldn't help but remind her softly. "My father said that next year's exam, he was going to be a fellow examiner, but later because his husband wanted to take the exam, he avoided suspicion. Next year is the first spring exam since the emperor ascended the throne. The question will definitely not be biased, and he will go to a steady and upright path..."

Xiaobei immediately listened carefully and wrote it down secretly. Cheng Naixuan would run to his house almost the next day, and exchange some information while eating and drinking. However, he had never mentioned the words that Miss Xu said. Obviously, it was not hiding his own private life, but Cheng Naixuan didn't know at all. Although he didn't understand whether Xu Guo was afraid that his son-in-law would be the messenger, or he deliberately wanted his daughter to be the messenger to correct her introverted nature, Xiaobei understood even more how important these words that Xu Guo, who had a stable seat in the Hanlin Academy were.

She took Miss Xu home by detour. Xiaobei saw that it was still early, so she didn't want to go back immediately. After all, Wang Fulin is now a trait-practice person, and he is idle when he goes back. She was thinking about whether to go to a place where scholars gathered and asked about what was particularly powerful among the scholars who took the exam this year, but he heard another sound from outside the car.

"Mrs. My lady forgot something before and specifically told me to say it to the lady."

Xiaobei raised the curtain and saw that it was a confidant girl next to Miss Xu, and he nodded with a smile. The girl bent her knees and then said generously: "Miss said that the young lady had made friends with two ladies from the Shi family, the Liangzhe Salt Transportation Commander, and specifically told me to tell the young lady that Mr. Shi had resigned as Liangzhe Salt Transportation Commander, and was summoned back to Beijing. It is said that he would go to the Censorate. His family now rented a Ligela Hutong in Xiaoyongfang, which is next to the famous Ligela mansion during the Zhengde period."

Xiaobei was impressed by the two misses of the Shi family, Shi Yuanchun and Shi Jianchun. She still remembered that they were innocent but not decent daughters. Since she knew that they had arrived at the bottom of the capital, Xiaobei of course wanted to go there and asked the girl to thank Miss Xu, she immediately ordered the coachman to go to Xiaoyongfang, Xicheng. When she turned into the once busy Lige Lao Hutong, she couldn't help lifting the curtains to look at the house full of guests in the past, but she saw a bit of mottled blue brick wall. When she arrived in front of the door, she found that it was a ancestral hall. When she saw the couplets of the ancestral hall clearly, she subconsciously called to stop.

Today, he still acted as a coachman. I don’t know whether he trusted this entourage, or because he was a good coachman before, or was familiar with the human geography of the capital, Wang Daokun sent people directly over. After he stopped the car, he glanced at the ancestral hall and smiled: “It’s a coincidence that there were two cemeteries living in front of Li Ge Lao, Li Xian, from the Tianshun period, and Li Dongyang, from the Zhengde period. After Zhengde, Li Ge Lao, retired and returned to his hometown, the place gradually became dilapidated. A few years ago, Geng Ding paid respect to Lord Geng for his fellow villagers and raised some money to build the Li clan ancestral hall.”

It was Geng Dingxiang again? He was really a good man. He sent his father's coffin back to Longchuan Village, Jixi. In the capital, even the old house of Li Dongyang, which had long been passed down, was quite thoughtful.

Xiaobei thought about it and put down the curtains and let Xiao Buping continue to move forward. Perhaps because he opened the conversation, Xiao Buping continued: "But Li Dongyang's cabinet master is actually quite simple. The house is very small. His own son died early, and later adopted a person under his knees. Some people said that he was indulging Liu Jin and hurt Yinde. I said that was just farting... Cough cough, young lady, don't blame me for speaking vulgarly. Some people in the folk just don't know that the firewood and rice are expensive..."

While Xiaobei was talking about the story, Xiaobei finally came to the door of the Shi family's temporary residence. Because she had just received the news, she asked Xiaobei to knock on the door and specifically ordered her to explain her origin. After a while, Xiaobei turned around: "Mrs. Young Madam, the doorman went to inform him, saying that there was a guest from the Shi family today, and I don't know if she had time to receive the young lady."

Any guests?

Xiaobei was thinking, but there was already movement at the gate of the Shi family. But a young man wearing a royal blue woven golden gauze robe came out of the door. The pattern of folded branches and flowers woven with golden thread on his clothes shone brightly under the rare sunlight today. Recognizing that it was Zhang Taizheng, Xiaobei couldn't help but glance at someone more, but he wasn't careful that the other party looked at the mule cart. Although she just opened a crack in the curtain, she still couldn't stop the scrutiny gaze. The next moment, she saw that the other party was walking straight to this side.

"When Putuo Mountain and Brother Wang parted, we met again in the capital this time. In just one or two years, Brother Wang was nominated for the list of honors and was about to be awarded the Spring Festival, which is really unbearable."

Seeing that the other party mistakenly thought that Wang Fulin was also in the car, Xiaobei knew that it was impossible for the wrong message of the Bulphite, because she only sent someone to spread the name of the Ye family. It was obvious that Zhang Taizheng saw the Wang sign in the car. Without a moment of hesitation, she replied in the car: "Mr. Zhang, my husband is studying and practicing calligraphy at home these days, but he has not come out together today. It was me who learned from my close friends that Mr. Shi and his family are coming to Beijing. Because he has acquainted with two Miss Shi, he came to take a look. As for your praises to my husband, I will definitely tell him after I go back. However, my husband often said that Mr. Zhang is a young talent with a family background, and he is absolutely unmatched."

Only then did Zhang Taizheng realize that Wang Fulin was not in the car. He had heard that Wang Fulin was married to the youngest one of the two young ladies of the Ye family who had traveled to Hangzhou. His former cousin Zhang also revealed to him that the eldest lady of the Ye family was smart and calm, and the person who was stubborn and determined to be a stubborn uncle Shi Guifang actually agreed to the two cousins ​​of the Shi family and her sisters to do business together. As for the second lady, she seemed to be a casual person and could not compare to the elder sister in any way. However, the second lady of the Ye family spoke softly and politely, but he unknowingly expressed another meaning in the last sentence.

Will Wang Fulin say good things about him at home without any trouble? Could it be that he noticed what his previous actions had?

However, since Wang Fulin was not here, the car was sitting in the other person's wife. Even if he was uneasy, he could not study it. He could only barely say a few words and hurriedly leave. At this time, the doorman of the Shi family came forward and said that his wife and lady were invited. It turned out that Shi Guifang was not at home at this time. Obviously, Zhang Taizheng could not stand this bad temper until his overly tempered uncle, so he specially chose someone to come over when he was away. When Xiaobei entered the hall and saw the two sisters next to Zhang who had been away for two years, she had to smile and salute.

"I just found out that you arrived in the capital today, and immediately became an uninvited guest. Mrs. Yuanchun's sister Jianchun, don't blame me."

Zhang didn't know the words of his nephew and Xiaobei outside the door. Seeing his two daughters happily approaching Xiaobei, she seemed to have endless words to say, but in the end she found an excuse to leave, which was to make room for them. As soon as she left, all the sisters of the Shi family felt relieved. Shi Jianchun looked at Xiaobei dressed up in the young woman and shouted: "Xiaobei, are you already married? Tell me, who is your husband!"
