The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Speaking of Zhang Fan and the three of them.Came to Mao Zhengqing's home.Actually.Ever since they saw the courtyard of Mao Zhengqing's house.The three of them were already curious about the whole thing.

As the saying goes. "Three years to clear the magistrate. One hundred thousand snowflake silver".Said he was a clean official.Don't be too greedy.But it takes a few years to be an official.It is definitely possible to gather a lot of wealth.Even this Yongning Mansion is not as rich as Jiangnan.But things like silver.And definitely not less.Even Mao Zhengqing was not greedy.But Zhang Fan knew.He has been the magistrate of Yongning Prefecture for several years.If you speak up.It is impossible for him to just live in such a small courtyard.

Of course.perhaps.Mao Zhengqing in order to hide wealth.Or maybe it's for the sake of pretending to be clean or something.if it is like this.He lives in this place.It's nothing unusual.Not to mention.this kind of thing.It's not like Zhang Fan has never seen it before.Even if this kind of thing is relatively rare.But it is not without.The territory of Daming is so large.So many officials.Even if there is someone like Mao Zhengqing.It's not surprising either.

All right.There is a reasonable explanation for these things.Even this explanation.No matter how far-fetched it sounds.No matter how it makes people feel unreliable.But it is not unacceptable.after all.If there are so many possibilities in front of you.As long as a few items that are absolutely impossible are excluded.The rest is no matter how impossible.It is also true.

But now.This matter is already acceptable to Zhang Fan and the others.And after entering Mao Zhengqing's house.Although I still can't believe it.But the only possibility is right in front of them.It's also why they don't believe it.and.It seems like they've come to terms with it.

But next.After Mao Zhengqing's wife came out.This really made Zhang Fan and the others a little confused.

Speaking up.When Zhou Shi just came out.Zhang Fan and the three of them.Whichever it is.No one thought that this woman would be Mao Zhengqing's wife.Actually.This is an obvious question.This home was not very big.There are a few people who can see clearly.

Except for Mao Zhengqing.There is also that old woman who looks like a servant in this family.And the dress just now doesn't look expensive.But she is also a graceful woman named Zhou.

so.This was originally a very obvious thing.No matter what this Zhou family said.There is only such a possibility as Mao Zhengqing's wife.but.Even so.Zhang Fan and the others still couldn't believe this fact.but.It's not their fault.After all, this thing is really too weird.Compared with Mao Zhengqing, he doesn't look like an upright official.Living in such a small courtyard is even weirder.therefore.no matter what.Zhang Fan and the others were unwilling to believe this matter.

Until Mao Zhengqing made an introduction for them.Tell them clearly.This Zhou family.When it was his wife.only.Even if Mao Zhengqing had already said so.And this kind of thing is not something that can be faked.But Zhang Fan and the three of them.Still can't believe it.

this moment.Mrs. Zhou has already gone to make tea this week.And everyone else has already sat down.Mao Zhengqing and the three of them.Ben wanted to sit down afterwards.Find a topic to talk about.but.They saw Zhang Fan and the three of them.All of them looked suspicious.They all looked at each other.This made Mao Zhengqing and the three of them a little confused.But they saw Zhang Fan and the three of them like this.For a while, he didn't dare to speak casually.

All of a sudden.This is not considered a large hall.It was silent.It makes people feel a little weird.

Speaking up.The reason why Zhang Fan and the others are so strange.It's no wonder they are.even though.Couples in this world.There is such a large difference.There are too many.But Mao Zhengqing and his wife are a little different.Even Zhang Fan and the others don't know them too well.But from words and deeds.These two are completely different sides.

And between husband and wife.this relationship.Obviously something is not suitable.Especially Zhang Fan and the three of them.When I first came here.It has already been defined for Mao Zhengqing.It was fine before.Mao Zhengqing's appearance before.It's just doing something shady.But now someone came to check his appearance.but now.Mao Zhengqing showed these objects in front of these people.But there is a fundamentally different appearance.

The contrast is simply unbelievable.The most important thing is about Mao Zhengqing's wife.The relationship between husband and wife.Can represent many things.But as usual.Mao Zhengqing's previous performance.His kind.What kind of wife can you marry.It is obvious.It should be the kind of powerful and greedy people.

And what this Zhou family showed.Not so.certainly.Maybe that's why.Mao Zhengqing had already told her the identities of Zhang Fan and the others beforehand.And what he might be involved in this time.If so.Maybe this Zhou family will deliberately make this appearance.

but.Contrived to be contrived.But the expression on her face just now.Her kind of slightly graceful appearance.It's not just acting.If there is no long-term environmental precipitation.It is very difficult for a person to make such a natural performance.

That is.It can be seen from here.This Zhou's background is not simple.And this kind of woman with family background.Now she is married to Mao Zhengqing.Of course.It's not impossible.It's just that a woman like her will definitely have a better choice.On the other hand, Mao Zhengqing.Does it look like?It's not like he's ugly.Nothing but mediocrity.

and.Still be the prefect in Yongning Prefecture.No.Look at the age of the two.When Mao Zhengqing married this Zhou family.No matter how you look at it, it has been more than ten years.And Mao Zhengqing was promoted to the prefect of Yongning Prefecture.Although Zhang Fan didn't check it carefully.But I've heard about it before.That's only five years.

And Mao Zhengqing was not demoted here from some first-rank, second-rank and third-rank officials.Actually quite the opposite.He originally started as a county magistrate.I have been a county magistrate for three years.I worked as a magistrate for two years and as a magistrate for four years.Later he was promoted to magistrate.That is.Mao Zhengqing was the most common one.Step by step from the bottom up slowly.

If so.At the beginning, Zhou's natal family.Even including Zhou himself.I can see Mao Zhengqing.It also makes people feel a little strange.

Speaking up.Zhang Fan couldn't help thinking of his own affairs.Actually.When I was not an official.The starting point is the same as that of Mao Zhengqing.but.The two sisters Ruxue and Zhaoxue have fallen in love with him anyway.But Zhang Fan was a little different from Mao Zhengqing.Not in looks.It's not about learning.But in the family world.

Although Zhang Fan did not have a prominent family background.But his family background.But he is very familiar with Chen Wenchuan.and.The reason why Chen Wenchuan was able to become an official before Zhang Fan.So he promised his daughter's life to Zhang Fan.But it's not just because of his family background.Chen Wenchuan didn't want to do that either.more importantly.The reason why Chen Wenchuan took a fancy to such a son-in-law as Zhang Fan.

But Mao Zhengqing's words.honestly.It doesn't matter if it's Zhang Fan.Liu Xian and Feng Bao were still on the side.It's really that I haven't seen any advantages in him from him.

And that Zhou family.It looks like he came from a wealthy family.Not that upstart.After all, she can have such a good cultivation.Definitely not from an ordinary family.and.Although it is over thirty years old.But you can tell from her face.Zhou Shi when he was young.Even if it can't be called beautiful.It is also very beautiful.Even now it seems.Not bad at all.

This is why Zhang Fan and the others are surprised.

Things that I can't understand.It's just too much.

"That's right." Feng Bao said suddenly.Ask Mao Zhengqing. "I don't know how old Mao is this year."

"Father-in-law, I'm 34 this year." Mao Zhengqing hurriedly replied. "Wait until March. It will be 35." Although Mao Zhengqing answered very neatly.But he obviously couldn't figure it out.Why did Feng Bao ask him this question.

"Then..." This time.Instead, it was Zhang Fan who came to ask. "What year was Lord Mao a Jinshi?"

"Return to your lord." Although Mao Zhengqing still couldn't understand why Zhang Fan and Feng Bao asked him these things.But he still hastened to answer. "Xiaguan was the 38th in the second class in the 36th year of Jiajing. After the Xiaguan passed the Jinshi examination, he was a good scholar in the court for more than a year. After that, he became a county magistrate."

"Jinshi in the 38th year of Jiajing." Mao Zhengqing said.It made Feng Bao think about it. "So, Master Mao and Master Ding Shimeiding are still at the same time."

"Hehe. Exactly." Mao Zhengqing heard Feng Bao say this.laughed. "It's just that it's the same period. In fact, it's just that the lower officials have been honored by Mr. Ding. Mr. Ding was the number one scholar in high school that year. The lower officials are only 36-A [-]. Although they are placed among the people, they may think that the lower officials are already good. But all the adults understand. There are nearly [-] Jinshi in the top three at one time. It’s really nothing to be a junior official.”

"Wait." Zhang Fan interrupted Mao Zhengqing's words.Because he heard a problem. "Master Mao used to be a good scholar in the court."

"Not bad." Mao Zhengqing said frankly. "That's when the lower official just won the Jinshi."

"And..." Zhang Fan interrupted Mao Zhengqing again. "It's only been done for a year."

this time.Mao Zhengqing stopped.Seems to want to say something.But it looks like it can't be said.

At this time.Zhou walked in.

"My lords, the food is ready," Zhou said.
