I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 392 Conditions
Mrs. Pang was thinking, Zhan Feiyu and Mrs. Qian didn't urge her, but just picked up the teacup and continued to drink water.

The compensation of 5000 taels is not light, at least it can ensure that Mrs. Pang has no worries about food and clothing in the future. Although Mrs. Pang has both her husband's family and her mother's family, but now that Pang Tongzhi has committed a crime, Mrs. Pang's two sons will lose their official careers, and they may be able to serve as staff in the future , Or you can go to a private school to be a teacher.

If Mrs. Pang's husband's family or in-law's family is unwilling to help, they probably can only become rich men, take care of Mrs. Pang's property, or manage chores in the family.

No matter what the situation is, the 5000 taels of silver can be regarded as capital and support. Mrs. Pang should consider her sons instead of herself.

After a while, Mrs. Pang made a decision, and looked at Zhan Feiyu sitting on the chair with watery eyes.

Perhaps because she was born in a family of officials, Mrs. Pang would not underestimate the young Zhan Feiyu. Even if she is from a scholarly family, there will always be fights in the back house. Let alone a ten-year-old girl, some precocious children are as young as three years old. Know how to step on the high and hold the low.

"Miss Zhan, although my master is in prison, he has not exploited the people these years, searched for their riches, my dowry is still there, and some of the Pang family's property is still there. I am not short of money." Mrs. Pang said softly. .

Looking at how the servants of the Pang Mansion can perform their duties in an orderly manner, we know that Mrs. Pang is not short of money, otherwise these servants would have fled away long ago, and they would not have stayed in the Pang Mansion.

Zhan Feiyu understood, thought for a while and said, "Madam, if you have something to say, just say it. If I can help, I won't stand by and watch."

"Gu Xueshi has served as the chief examiner of the imperial examination three times. If possible, I hope that Quanzi can go to the academy to teach in the future." Mrs. Pang also knew in her heart that whether she went to her husband's house or returned to her mother's house, it was not a long-term solution after all.

With the father of Pang Tongzhi, this is a stain that the two children cannot wash away. Even if they are protected by the family in the future, outsiders will not dare to bully them, but the family will also inevitably suffer from exclusion.

But it's different if you go to the academy. Although you don't become an official, the master of the academy has a noble status, and the sage books that you have read for so many years will not be buried.

If the students taught will make great achievements in the future, the reputation will spread, and it will be just around the corner to become a great Confucian who is full of peaches and plums.

Although Gu Xueshi only accepted Zhan Feiyu as a disciple, he has served as the examiner three times. It can be said that every state capital in the Daqing Dynasty has his disciples. If Gu Xueshi is willing to help, let alone an ordinary academy, Even the Guozijian in the capital can do it.

Madam Qian frowned when she heard this, she was willing to give up money, and the price was 5000 taels, which was Madam Qian's money, and merchants always rely on money to settle their affairs.

But Mrs. Qian also has a sense of proportion, she can't let Zhan Feiyu get such a favor for the Qian family.Speaking of Zhan Feiyu's willingness to accompany him on this trip, Mrs. Qian was extremely grateful.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, after all, the Qian family is just a lowly businessman. Before that, they were offended by Qiu Jingyuan's affairs. Madam Qian knew that it was Zhan Feiyu who ignored the previous suspicions, but she couldn't make progress.

"Mrs. Pang, this crime was caused by the Qian family. If Madam wants to take action in the future, it will be the retribution of the Qian family." Madam Qian took the first step to speak, with obvious fatigue and worry in her expression, but her attitude was extremely firm. Excuse me, I will take my leave now."

Mrs. Pang, who had always been calm, couldn't help showing a bit of anxiety at this moment. She didn't care that she was almost humiliated by Qian Shipeng, let alone the 5000 taels of compensation. Plan for the future of your son.

"Madam, please stay!" Mrs. Pang said, looking at Zhan Feiyu who had already got up, she said anxiously: "Miss Zhan, please listen to me, although my master never talked to me about government affairs, we are husband and wife after all. One, if the girl is willing to help, I am willing to give the girl a list."

"Madam!" Bai Lian exclaimed from the side. Although she didn't know the list, Bai Lian knew that it must be a very important thing. If it was handed over, what should the master who is still in prison do?
Mrs. Pang smiled wryly, with tears in her eyes, and the deeper pain and helplessness were pressed back to the bottom of her heart. The master's end was already doomed, but she still had a son.

Madam Qian also had to stop when she heard this, she didn't have such a big face to make Miss Zhan sacrifice Gu Xueshi's face for the Qian family.

But if it involved court affairs, Mrs. Qian would not dare to intervene, it all depended on Zhan Feiyu's decision.

Zhang Zhifu is dead, but before that, Zhang Zhifu has always planned to let Pang Tongzhi take over the post of magistrate. After all, he is old and has reached the age of retirement.

Therefore, Pang Tongzhi has indeed cultivated a lot of manpower over the years. It can be said that half of the Suzhou government is controlled by Zhang Zhifu, but the other half is in the hands of Pang Tongzhi. Especially since last year, many people have secretly joined Pang Tongzhi. After all, in the future He is the parent officer of Suzhou Prefecture.

Mrs. Pang's list probably refers to these people. Pang Tongzhi has always acted cautiously. Without this list, it is estimated that he will really not know who is his in a short time.

"Ma'am, Pang Tongzhi has been imprisoned. This list may be useful to Zhao Tongzhi, but it is not so important to me as a little girl." Zhan Feiyu refused bluntly.

The reason why I accompanied Mrs. Qian on this trip today was because Mrs. Qian gave me the raw suet white jade seed, which was Zhan Feiyu's favourite.

Secondly, regarding the matter of Chu Qian, the big shopkeeper of Dingyuan Bank revealed a lot of things about shopkeeper Hong. Although Jin Longwei could also find out, Zhan Feiyu accepted Madam Qian's favor.

But as Mrs. Qian thought before, Zhan Feiyu would not take the face of Gu Xueshi for the sake of the Qian family, so whether Mrs. Pang accepts the compensation or does not accept revenge on the Qian family in the future, Zhan Feiyu doesn't care.

Of course, if Mrs. Pang's request was just an insignificant matter, Zhan Feiyu could help, but if it was anything else, it was absolutely impossible.

Seeing that Zhan Feiyu was unmoved, Mrs. Pang was eager to grab Zhan Feiyu's arm to prevent her from leaving, but it was a pity that He Nuan blocked her just as she reached out.

"Madam, please respect yourself." A calm but indifferent voice sounded, He Nuan glanced at Madam Pang warily, but her right hand had already landed on the hilt of the soft sword.

"Ma'am, be careful!" Bai Lian was also the head of the household eager to support the staggering Mrs. Pang, and cast an angry look at He Nuan, but was stopped by Mrs. Pang when she was about to speak.

Shaking her head at Bai Lian, Mrs. Pang apologized: "I lost my temper just now, please forgive me, but please think about it more, Suzhou Prefecture is second only to Longzhou, this list is not only Suzhou The prefectures even include neighboring prefectures, whether the imperial court appoints a new magistrate, or a new prefect takes office, with this list, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

If Zhao Tongzhi took over as the magistrate, then the Suzhou government would suddenly lack two co-prefects. The entire Longyou Dao was related to the stability of the border. Even if it was a prefect, the court would pay special attention to it.

Of course, in Mrs. Pang's view, Zhan Feiyu has a good relationship with the Yang family of the General's Mansion, and there is Gu Xueshi in the court, so the officials sent here must be from Gu Xueshi's side, even if it is just a fellow acquaintance, with this With the help of this list, even if Zhao Tongzhi is promoted to the magistrate, he will be emptied of power and become a puppet in the future.

Zhan Feiyu looked at Mrs. Pang who was anxious and restless. If she hadn't been too worried about the future of her two sons, she would not have been so eager, and even showed her hole card to save her life.

"Why didn't Madam give this list to the Pang family?" Zhan Feiyu asked. In fact, he could also give it to Zhao Tongzhi, but considering Zhao Tongzhi's stern and selfless temperament, handing it over might not be of any use.

But Lord Yao is still in Suzhou Mansion at the moment, this is the envoy of Longyou Dao. Although it is only a matter of Suzhou Mansion, if Lord Yao gets the list, it will be much easier to govern Suzhou Mansion in the future, let alone this list If it really involved the neighboring state capital, it would have a greater impact on Lord Yao.

Mrs. Pang collected her thoughts, she calmed down now, "The Pang family is beyond reach, and this list is only useful to the Suzhou government."

The Pang family is also an official, but they are not in Longyou Dao, so this list seems tasteless.
