Optimus One Pillar of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 83: Fatty Jiang, the Lord of the Royal Guards
After being teased by Yin Zhengmao and the others at a roadside stall, Wang Daoqiu returned to the courtyard with a snicker as Yin Zhengmao and the others cursed him all the way.

After washing his face and feet, he was just about to go to bed when the fat man sneaked into his room.As soon as he came in, the fat man locked the door first, and then asked Wang Daoqiu in a low voice: "Liangzhen, last time you said you wanted to introduce me to Jinyiwei, does this still count?"

The fat man looked sincere. It seemed that he had figured it out. With his IQ, his ancestors of the Jiang family had already blessed him to pass the provincial examination, but it was impossible to pass the national examination.

Since Fatty has a clear understanding of himself, Wang Daoqiu doesn't want to persuade him anymore.So he said: "Fat man, I will go to the construction site of the Inner Palace Supervisor early tomorrow morning. If you have the courage to go to Jinyiwei, then I will write a letter of recommendation for you. Tomorrow you can take the letter of recommendation and go Jinyiwei asked Governor Lu Binglu. If you don’t dare to go to Jinyiwei alone, then you wait here for more than ten days. I will definitely come back for the palace examination on March [-]th. When I finish the palace examination, I will invite Lu The governor will have a meal and I will introduce you to him then. Do you think this will work?"

Since Wang Daoqiu arrived in the capital, he has been haunted all day long. Fatty, with his ancestral sense of smell as a landlord, knew that Wang Daoqiu now had many big secrets.And these secrets are the ones he'd better not ask about.

So after carefully weighing Wang Daoqiu's two plans, the fat man said: "Liangzhen, it's better if you write a letter of recommendation for me. I'll go to Jinyiwei to try my luck! If people think I'm really not good at that, then our mutual There is still room for maneuver in terms of face. Otherwise, in front of you, if people don’t want me, neither you nor I will be able to step down."

When the fat man said this, he lowered his head and looked very unsure.In fact, Wang Daoqiu and Fatty have been dating for half a year since time travel.To be honest, the fat man had a good impression on Wang Daoqiu. This man had some bad habits of a rich second generation, but he still had a good heart.At least it is much better than those hypocrites who talk about justice and think about business.

Moreover, the fat man has his family's ancestral landowner and old money gene. When it comes to looking at problems, especially those involving interests, he can calculate more accurately and see further than people who come from ordinary farmers' families.

Therefore, Wang Daoqiu thought that if Fatty tried to infiltrate the administrative system, he would probably have a hard time with his academic qualifications and businessman's way of thinking.However, if he goes to the Jinyiwei system where most of the bosses are bosses and there are not so many twists and turns, he should be able to get along well.

After thinking about this, Wang Daoqiu wrote a letter of recommendation to Lu Bing for the fat man in front of the fat man, and sincerely asked Lu Bing for help.

After getting this letter of recommendation from Wang Daoqiu, the fat man wisely stopped worrying about Wang Daoqiu's rest.After saying a few words of thanks, he went out with the recommendation letter.

The next day, in order not to disturb other people in the courtyard, Wang Daoqiu got up early. Before Qiu's sister-in-law and mistress Sanniang arrived, he took the horse, opened the courtyard door, and planned to go to the Nanjian River construction site.

But as soon as he came out of the small courtyard, what surprised him was that Yang Jinshui had already sent two young eunuchs and a carriage to wait for him at the entrance of the alley.

Well, since everyone has made arrangements, let’s just do as we please!So Wang Daoqiu got into a carriage with a charcoal basin, a young eunuch drove the carriage, and another young eunuch rode Wang Daoqiu's Dawan horse, and the three of them went to the Nanjian River construction site.

After working on the construction site for another ten days, on the evening of March [-], Wang Daoqiu returned to Neigongjian Hutong from the Nanjianhe construction site.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Yin Zhengmao and the others were eating in the main hall.As soon as everyone saw Wang Daoqiu coming back, they hurriedly called Wang Daoqiu to come over for dinner.

Because I have been away from home for nearly half a month, and I don’t know what to do outside.As a result, as soon as Wang Daoqiu sat down, he was ridiculed by Yin Zhengmao and the others again.In order to make his brothers happy, Wang Daoqiu continued to pretend to be a grandson and please him.

After a few good friends had a harmless play, the fat man went to the house and took out the house deed of the small courtyard, handed it to Wang Daoqiu and said, "Liangzhen, I'm going to work as an errand in Jinyiwei. I was given a certificate over there." The eighth-grade master's seat is Bo. After I go to Jinyiwei, this house will no longer be suitable for me. You can't be a few Jinshis renting in a Jinyiwei's house, right? This is not good for your reputation. Liangzhen , I gave you this house, and I already changed the name on the house deed the day before yesterday. From now on, this house will be yours."

As he spoke, Fatty felt a little sad.To be honest, Fatty liked living with Wang Daoqiu and the others.We are all gentlemen, and we are all generous. There are no intrigues or preoccupations, and we are very comfortable getting along with each other.But his current identity is the eighth-grade master Bo in Jinyiwei. His identity no longer allows him to live with Wang Daoqiu and other Jinshi.

Everyone understands the scruples of fat people, and everyone actually likes having such a lively fat person around them who can liven up the atmosphere at any time.But after the imperial examination, everyone's status no longer allowed them to live in the same courtyard.This is the helplessness of adults!
I understand what Fatty is thinking, and I also understand that Fatty is doing this for everyone's benefit, so as to save everyone from looking for a house and moving.So although Wang Daoqiu was a little sad about this matter, he still took the house deed, went back to his room, and took out all the silver he had on him, a total of 39 taels.He put it in front of the fat man and said, "Fat man, I only have these on me now. I will raise the rest after I pass the palace examination."

Looking at the few small banknotes and pieces of silver that Wang Daoqiu placed in front of him, to be honest, the fat man didn't want them.But now everyone's status is no longer ordinary people.If he didn't want Wang Daoqiu's money and really gave this house to Wang Daoqiu for nothing, then if someone knew about it and brought it to the forefront, both he and Wang Daoqiu would be in trouble.

So although the fat man was extremely reluctant, he still smiled and accepted the money readily. He didn't want to embarrass his friend.

Seeing that the fat man had accepted Wang Daoqiu's money, the other four people at the dinner table, except Yuan Hongyu, were really poor. The others, Yin Zhengmao, Gao Yi, and Zhang Juzheng, all paid the rent in advance.When he went back to his room, he collected more than 20 taels of silver and gave it to Wang Daoqiu, who asked him to give it to the fat man.

It was a very depressing dinner, and everyone was very unhappy.After hastily filling their stomachs, everyone lowered their heads and hurried back to their rooms.

After Yin Zhengmao and others left, Wang Daoqiu pushed the fat man back to his room, closed the door and asked in a low voice: "Fat man, I have been busy outside these days and have not paid attention to your business. What are you doing now? What's going on?"

"What else could it be? Speaking of which, Liangzhen, you really make me confused. You are still the same person who grew up naked with me, Wang Daoqiu? Liangzhen, do you know? I'll take it With your letter of recommendation, Governor Lu personally received me as soon as I arrived at Jinyiwei. He even told me face to face that he and you were friends. Liangzhen, who is Lu Bing? His relationship with His Majesty is... It's just like you and me. We have been playing together since childhood. Such a high-ranking and powerful official of the emperor, he said that he is friends with you! And he also gave you face, without any test on me, let me go. So he gave me a genuine eighth grade. Liangzhen, the relationship between you and Governor Lu is probably not something that your father-in-law can achieve with just a few dollars, right?"

The fat man was really smart and saw some clues.But he can’t admit this Wang Daoqiu now!So Wang Daoqiu laughed aloud and said: "Fat man, don't make blind guesses, just work hard in Jinyiwei! By the way, you are already in Jinyiwei now, have you completed all the relevant procedures?"

"Hey, look what you said! Before you come back and I don't hand over this house to you, do I dare to join the Imperial Guard? That would make our brothers so embarrassed! So today I handed over this house to you You, I will move tomorrow during your imperial examination, and the day after tomorrow I will go to Jinyiwei to go through the official entry procedures."

"It's so urgent. Have you found a house yet?"

"There is no need to look for a house, Jinyiwei will take care of it. Anyway, I am single now. I can buy a house after I marry a wife! Anyway, my old guy will pay for it when the time comes, so I don't have to worry about it."

"Okay, then you should work hard in Jinyiwei first! As long as you don't make mistakes and can achieve results, I will go to Lu Bing to fight for your promotion."

"Hey, that's great for catching up! There really is someone in the court who is good at becoming an official! Liangzhen, my future promotion and fortune will all depend on you. Hahahaha"

"Get lost, you damn fat man."
