Chapter 361 Everything remains the same

Snowflakes are fluttering, and the world is vast.

There is a heated kang burning in the house, and the smoke is curling from the chimney on the roof, and the heated kang against the wall in the room is burning warmly.

Wang Lishi woke up leisurely, looked at Wang Zhong who was sitting on the edge of the kang, recalled the conversation between the two before coma, tears overflowed involuntarily in his eyes.

"Uncle, I..."

"Drink the medicine first!" Wang Zhong held the steaming soup and said, "Don't worry, it's for nourishing the mind and calming the fetus."

Mrs. Wang Li was suspicious, but she still drank the decoction that Wang Zhong handed over.

"The fetus in your womb is less than three months old now, and you still have time to think about it slowly."

Wang Zhong didn't expect that he hunted geese all day long, but this time he was pecked in the eyes by geese.

After all, he was still too conceited, thinking that everything was under his own control, and he ignored what he should have noticed long ago.

Mrs. Wang Li poured the decoction into her abdomen in one gulp, handed the medicine bowl to Wang Zhong, looked at Wang Zhong and said, "I've made up my mind. From now on, I will live with Sister Qian and the child in my belly, and will not return to Yangzhou." gone."

Wang Chong raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised: "Aren't you going back to Yangzhou?"

Mrs. Wang and Li looked at Wang Zhong, met the gaze that could almost see through people's hearts, and nodded solemnly: "I won't return!"

"Have you really thought about it?" Wang Zhong asked again.

"Think it over!" Wang Li said firmly, "I never thought of deceiving uncle, let alone expecting to follow him. Uncle will do great things in the future, so I can't drag him down because of me!"

Seeing Wang Li's candid gaze and expression, Wang Zhong felt even more lonely in his heart.

Wang Li's feelings for him are real, but once there is a suspicion, it will be difficult to eliminate.

"Then let's live in Tokyo with peace of mind!"

The next day, Wang Zhong sent Wang Erxi and Yu Chuer back on the grounds that there was no one in Yangzhou.

I also found Yaman personally, picked two young girls who were twelve or thirteen years old, had received some simple training, and knew some needlework, and followed Wang Lishi and Wang Qian'er to find a woman to do some heavy work. It's the more honest kind.

Seeing that the new year was approaching, Wang Zhong prepared a lot of gifts, and went to visit Sheng Hong's Tongke mansion with the surname Lv. I got a lot of past and present articles from the main examiner.

Wang Zhong had put in a lot of hard work.

The New Year in the second year of Jiayou was a bit boring. Tokyo City was indeed prosperous, but compared to the unrestrained Xiaozhuzhuang, it was far less attractive to Wang Qianer.

Seeing that the little girl was bored, even a little depressed, Wang Zhong found Ren Yazi again, bought two little girls who were about the same age as the little girl, and asked them to study, practice martial arts and play with the little girl every day.

Time passed day by day, and gradually came to February, the spring also officially began, the process is not much different from the autumn, a group of candidates, gathered in the tribute courtyard, after nine days and ten nights, after half a month, the list was released, the king He won the first prize in one fell swoop and became the leader of Jinke. In a short time, the name of Prince Hou of Jiangdu spread throughout Tokyo.

Generally, Huiyuan means that the first rank in the palace examination and the third rank in the palace examination are scheduled, and the weights are different.

At the beginning of March, Wang Zhong and all the tributes gathered in the Chongzheng Palace to take part in the palace examination. It is said that this palace examination was made by the current officials themselves.

Wang Zhong's article based on benevolence and enlightenment caught the eyes of Emperor Jiayou, and was appointed by Emperor Jiayou as the number one scholar in the current discipline.

Before it was clear, Wang Zhong and a group of examinees gathered outside the Donghua Gate, waiting for the roll call.

As the so-called Haoerlang outside the Donghua Gate is talking about this situation.

After the roll call, Wang Zhong, the No. [-] Zhou Ru and Tanhualang Xu Shi were led by the servants to change into green official uniforms and had an audience with the officials.

In the main hall, Wang Zhong and three people were led by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and saw the current emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, but in Wang Zhong's eyes, this ninety-five-year-old was just a man who looked 70 or [-] years old, his beard and hair were silver and white, and his face There are quite a lot of wrinkles on the face, and the old man is showing his age and dying.

But in his 50s, he looks like a man in his 60s, which shows that he must have worked hard in his daily life.

After paying homage to him, Emperor Jiayou said, "Look at our new champion, he looks quite mature, not like a young man!"

Emperor Jiayou didn't know Wang Zhong's age until after he selected the number one scholar. At first, several examiners wanted to lower Wang Zhong's ranking a little bit, and hone Wang Zhong, but Emperor Jiayou gave it a no. up.

Not to mention the number one scholar in this dynasty, even the previous dynasty has never had such a young talent. If he still suppresses and trains such a young talent, wouldn't it violate the original intention of the imperial examination to select talents?
If you really want to temper, it is not impossible to practice again when you are awarded an official.

The three of them stood in a triangle, Wang Zhong was slightly forward, and the first thing Emperor Jiayou saw was Wang Zhong.

When Emperor Jiayou opened his mouth, his magnetic voice concealed a hint of old age, but there was no sense of aloofness in his tone, like an elder next door.

Wang Zhong respectfully cupped his hands and bowed: "Xu Shichen often travels outside, exposed to the sun and rain, and he looks old when it gets darker!"

"Oh?" Emperor Jiayou was quite surprised: "Zhuangyuan Lang has such a talent and learning at a young age, so he doesn't study hard at home day and night? He still has time to travel outside?"

Wang Zhong explained: "My mentor taught me that to read thousands of books, you also need to travel thousands of miles, combined with life, in order to be able to master it!"

Emperor Jiayou showed a smile on his face: "This is a very good statement, to have such insights, Zhuangyuan Lang's mentor must be a great Confucian! I don't know the name of the teacher?"

Emperor Jiayou once supported Fan Wenzheng to carry out reforms. Although it failed in the end, the various reform strategies left by Fan Wenzheng have brought practical benefits to the court and the people. The emperor who speaks out.

Wang Zhongdao: "Return to Your Majesty, my benefactor has already emerged in the mountains a few years ago!"

"Could Zhuangyuan Lang's mentor be a real person?" The term "Yuhua" was not used casually, and Emperor Jiayou became more and more curious.

Wang Chongdao: "My mentor is called Wuwei Sanren, who has learned three schools. He is a strange person who has never been born. However, my talent is stupid, and I can't learn more than one or two of my mentor."

Emperor Jiayou said: "There are such strange people in the world?"

Wang Zhongdao: "My teacher once traveled all over the world, hanging pots to help the world, and before he became immortal, he once said to his ministers: The art of medicine, no matter how exquisite it is practiced, can save hundreds or thousands of people, but it can't save ten thousand or tens of thousands. To help the common people in the world, only by becoming an official in the court, implementing His Majesty's benevolent government, educating the people of the world, promoting agriculture and mulberry, dredging water, can make the country strong and the people's lives rich and happy!"

Even Emperor Jiayou couldn't help clapping his hands and applauding after hearing these words, "Your Master has a heart for the common people, and the number one scholar should remember your Master's teachings!"

"The Zhuangyuan Lang has the ambition to educate the people of the world. This is a good thing. I should have supported it, but the Zhuangyuan Lang is still young and has little experience. Why don't you make a secret court first, and after you are crowned, how about sending it to other places for training?" ?”

"Sir, please follow the holy will!" Wang Zhong bowed and bowed.

Emperor Jiayou stroked his beard and nodded, and moved his eyes to Zhou Ru, the second place behind Wang Zhong's left: "The second place is..."

The three people in Yijia were all directly appointed as officials by Emperor Jiayou. Wang Zhong's rank is the highest, which is the sixth rank. Whether it's the county magistrate of Wang County, or the general judge of the whole state, the starting point alone is a little higher than that of the second-level students.

After coming out of the hall, Wang Zhong and the others followed the officials of the ceremony to receive the corresponding official uniforms, and they could only receive the seal and other items after reporting to the Ministry of Officials.

Yangzhou, Sheng family.

"What, you said that kid Wang Zhong won the number one prize?" Wang Ruofu jumped up, with a shocked expression on his face.

"The official decreed on the spot at the Golden Palace that Feng Zihou will be Feng Zhilang, who will compile the secret pavilion and receive the rank of sixth grade." Sheng Hong said with a smile on his face.

"It's only one level lower than me." When he said this, Sheng Hong couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He had worked hard for nearly 20 years, and so far he was only a sixth-rank judge. Up one level, but compared to Wang Zhong's one-step ascent to the sky, there is a lot of difference!
The gap between first-class and second-class is like a gap.

"How is it possible? He actually won the prize?" Wang Ruofu hadn't recovered from the shock yet, and the mud-legged man who was not much admired in the past actually won the number one prize!

The Wang family is a scholarly family with many generations of officials. The Sheng family is also a clean stream of civil officials, and most of the relatives and friends they come and go with are civil officials.

Wang Ruofu couldn't let go of his face: "What if you won the first prize, the Yuan family is the Earl's mansion, and the officials themselves said that the Yuan family had suffered in the past, and it was different from those dudes in other honorable families. The children know how to make progress. Then Yuan Wenshao has also been seen by the officials himself, what kind of character is honest, humble and polite, and has a deep chest, isn't this what the officials said?"

Wang Ruofu was also quick-witted, and used Sheng Hong's own words to block Sheng Hong!

"Yuan Wenshao's child is indeed good, but compared with the prince, he is still a little worse." Sheng Hong said: "Our Sheng family and Wang family are both scholarly families, and the civil servants are clean. The Yuan family is honorable, and Yuan Wenshao He is the son of the eldest son, but not the elder, and it will be Yuan Wenchun, the eldest son of the Yuan family, who will be in charge of Uncle Zhongqin's mansion in the future, not Yuan Wenshao's child."

Wang Ruofu said: "The official is so determined that he wants to give our family's Huaer to the prince?"

"The number one scholar in the new department, isn't he worthy of our family's Hua'er?" Sheng Hong looked at Mrs. Wang puzzled.

Wang said: "What about the champion of the new department? The Wang family is just a peasant family with a weak family background. The prince Hou is alone. He has no relatives to take care of him and no brothers to help him. If he really enters the official career, he will definitely be able to Is the blue sky going straight up?"

Sheng Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "I think you are fascinated by the wealth of the Earl's Mansion!"

"Aren't I thinking of Hua'er?" Wang said: "Although Wang Zihou is the champion, he can be an official, who can guarantee that his life will be smooth and smooth. If we are relegated in the future, what will Hua'er do?" Do? Is it possible to follow him to those bitter cold places to suffer?"

"Then Yuan Wenshao may not be as rich as the prince, but after all the Yuan family has a title to protect them. Even if their official career is not going well, they can still preserve their wealth."

Rich and rich, in addition to rich, there is also a word of expensive.

In the south of the Yangtze River, rich and powerful families are everywhere, but they are not in the minority, especially the salt merchants in Lianghuai and other places. When marrying a daughter, but never considered those rich salt merchants?

"You only know the wealth and honor of the Earl's Mansion, but you don't know the dangers inside!" Sheng Hong said, "Then the Earl's Mansion must be good? You are the eldest lady of the Sheng family, and those intrigues and secrets in the inner house, don't you? Shall I tell you?"

"Hmph!" Wang Ruofu said coldly, "Scholars must be good? Can you guarantee that Wang Zihou will not be like you in the future, spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife?"

"You!" Sheng Hong was poked in pain, his complexion suddenly changed, his eyes widened, and he pointed at Wang Ruofu, wanting to explode, but what Wang Ruofu said made him unable to explain.

"We're talking about Hua'er's marriage, what are you talking about!" Sheng Hong turned around and sat back on the big chair.

Wang Ruofu said with a gun and a stick: "You are allowed to do it, but I am not allowed to say it? Who in the whole Yangzhou city doesn't know that you Shengtong sentenced concubines to kill wives, and even the power of giving in the family is handed over to you?" After losing that bitch, I was also the wife you brought in with eight palanquins, but now I have become a joke in the eyes of others, is this the family tradition of your Sheng family?"

"You...you...you...you...you mess around!" Normally, Sheng Hong, who had figured out Wang Ruofu's temperament, would not be too easy to coax Wang Ruofu to come, but when it comes to Lin's, Sheng Hong Hong felt that he had no confidence in himself, and was speechless every time Wang Ruofu beat him to it, unable to refute.

"Unreasonable!" Sheng Hong walked away angrily.

In fact, Wang Ruofu had a good impression of Wang Zhongde, and Wang Zhong won the first prize again, but whenever Wang Ruofu thought of Sheng Hong's actions, he was always worried that this scholar who was selected by Sheng Hong would follow Sheng Hong. Like Hong, doting on concubines and destroying wives is totally out of order.

After all, the Sheng family has a tradition of favoring concubines and destroying their wives. Sheng Hong's father, the once famous Tanhua Lang, married the daughter of the Yongyi Hou Mansion. Among the nobles in Tokyo City, it is also at the forefront, but the father of Sheng Hong, Tanhualang, is also doting on his concubine and destroying his wife. If he hadn't died young, where would he be today? Today's Sheng family.

Wang Ruofu had suppressed his opinion of Sheng Hong for many years, but now that it exploded, he felt much more at ease, and the more Wang Ruofu thought about it, the more he felt that his worries were not unreasonable.

Sheng Hong is an excellent example. He must not let his daughter go on the road he has already walked, repeating his own mistakes.

In order to accept Wang as his son-in-law again, Sheng Hong worked hard, but he hit a wall with Wang Ruofu. Seeing that he could not persuade Wang Ruofu, Sheng Hong first tried to persuade his son, but with little success, he wrote to him again. To my brother-in-law and old mother-in-law, please come forward to persuade Wang Ruofu, but Wang Ruofu is like eating a weight, determined not to agree to marry his daughter to Wang Zhong, no matter who persuades him, he just refuses to let go.

If Wang Ruofu refused to let go, even if Sheng Hong wanted to marry his daughter to Wang Zhong, it would not work. Sheng Hong was completely lost by Wang Ruofu.

Even Wang Ruofu's mother, Sheng Hong's mother-in-law, was persuaded by Wang Ruofu for some reason, and fell in love with Yuan Wenshao, the second son of Uncle Zhongqin's Yuan family.

Including Wang Ruofu's elder brother and sister-in-law, they all stood by Wang Ruofu's side.

Sheng Hong was completely at a loss.

Time flies, not long after the Qionglin banquet, Wang Zhong officially took office as a librarian, and Wang Li's stomach is getting bigger and bigger, Wang Zhong rented another yard to house Wang Li, Wang Zhong himself Then he took Wang Qian'er and continued to live in Tianshui Lane,

It was almost June, and Mrs. Wang and Li successfully gave birth to a son.

Wang Zhong named the child the word "Xu", which means that the sun is just rising, and its way is bright.

In July, Mrs. Wang Li moved back to Tianshui Lane with her son, and the maids who had been serving Mrs. Wang in the rented yard were also sent away. Wang Zhong returned their deeds and gave them money, let them go home.

The little girl and her mother had been separated for half a year. When she saw Wang Lishi, she felt a rush of longing in her heart. She hugged Wang Lishi and burst into tears.

As for the baby brother brought back by Wang Lishi who was still in his infancy, according to the little girl and the outside world, it was born of Wang Zhong's liaison, and was adopted by Wang Lishi, so as to inherit the incense of Wang Zhongda's lineage. .

Wang Zhong and Wang Li's are still referred to as uncles and sisters-in-law, and it's as if nothing happened between them.

Everything is as it was.

After having a son, the smiles on Wang and Li's face became more. Every day in the courtyard, she would play with her baby, take care of her daughter, make clothes and cook without worrying about outside business or making a living.

It's just that after a long time, life in the city is inevitably a bit too restrictive, and Wang Li's family is a bit pretty, and has been well maintained in the past few years, and Wang Zhong can't be by his side all the time. If he meets those rascals, it will be troublesome.

Wang Zhong simply stayed outside the city again, and spent a lot of money to buy a small village with more than 200 mu of land from a local member of staff, and placed Wang Li and her two daughters in the village. Wang Zhong still lived in Tianshui Lane , only go to Zhuangzi to see them every now and then.

Mrs. Wang Li knew that because she kept the matter from Wang Zhong's natal family, Wang Zhong felt uncomfortable. The window paper that was just pierced between the two of them was pasted again, and this time it was glued together. Not just a layer of window paper, but a wall.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wang and Li are also self-conscious and have no ambitions. They just live in Zhuangzi with peace of mind, take care of their children, and don't make any trouble.

Although the city of Bianliang is prosperous, both the Wang Li family and Wang Qian'er prefer the quiet and comfortable life in Zhuangzi. On Zhuangzi, Wang Qianer can run wild at will. When she wants to go to the city, she can put on a carriage and go After a day of shopping in the city, you can settle down in Tianshui Lane at night, and it doesn’t matter if you stay for a day or two and then come back.

In late September of the third year of Jiayou, Wang Erxi followed the people of the Cao Gang on a boat to the north, disembarked at the Bianhe Wharf, brought several brothers from the Cao Gang, and Yu Chuer, and pulled several carts of things, and came to Tianshui Lane. Outside the heavy house.
