Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Governor Weng's eyes became redder after staying up all night, and there were tears in them: "Since Weng passed the examination, his family members thought that following me would lead a rich life. As long as I am willing, some people will give away houses and land. , attached to Weng. However, Weng was determined to be an official. After entering Beijing for many years, his name has been lost. In the past, in order to support me to study, the remaining money of the family has been exhausted. If I fail the Jinshi examination this time , and how should I explain it to my family?"

"The two sons are not expected to study, and they are both honest children. I am afraid that something will happen in this life. If Weng can't bless them, how will he explain to them in the future?"

Speaking of this, Governor Weng's tears finally fell.

Su Mu comforted him and said, "It's only a dozen days or so, maybe you'll be hit?"

Governor Weng smiled desolately: "One out of twenty, I'm afraid Weng won't have such good luck. Besides, I'm afraid the Secretary of General Administration won't agree to take so many days off. At that time, I will definitely lose this An official position."

Su Mu continued to persuade him: "Governor Weng, you have been studying hard for two months, and it is not a few days away. Even if you lose your official position, you can find another one. At the beginning, Mr. Weng, you were able to enter the Secretary of General Administration. Some important person spoke."

Governor Weng shook his head: "I and other colleagues have different backgrounds, and it cost me some money to be able to enter the General Administration Department. In fact, even if I keep the position of the General Administration Department, with this little salary, how can I give my two children? Marriage? The date of marriage does not wait for anyone, so it is impossible for the children to blame me, right?"

Hearing his sad words, Su Mu felt sad for a while.Impulsively: "Old man, isn't it just a marriage of two children, and some dowry gifts. Or, let's work together to make my sister-in-law satisfied,"

Wealth, since the gold mine of the Development Bank, is just a numbers game for Su Mu.He hasn't cared about it for a long time. According to Xiaodie, she still has more than 30 taels of cash on hand, all of which are stored in the bank.

Moreover, Zhang Yong's casino still has a lot of income every month.

The marriage of Mr. Weng's two sons and the dowry money together are only in the early [-]s, right?

The old man is a nice guy, just lend him some money.As for not paying back, when to pay back, it doesn't matter, a gentleman has the friendship of making money.

Governor Weng smiled bitterly: "At this time, how can I bother everyone. Besides, I don't know how much background my colleagues have. If anyone has this method, he has already left the door and went to the local government to fill the fat vacancies. Nested in Qingshui yamen like the Secretary of General Administration."

Su Mu: "Old man, I don't lack money."

Probably because he drank too much wine, Governor Weng became drunk, pointed at the plentiful patches on Su Mu's neckline and laughed: "Zi Qiao, do you have any money, and you are so poor if you have money?"

Su Mu was speechless, there was really no way to explain this matter: "Old man, the exam is a lifetime thing, you should think carefully about it?"

"For a lifetime, for a lifetime, it is a lifetime for me, Weng. But getting married and starting a family is also a lifetime for children. If I don't come to the capital, I will stay in my hometown in Henan. Our Weng family has long been a famous family. They He's also a son of a rich family, I'm the father, I'm sorry for them!"

"Old man, think about it again, don't be impulsive."

Governor Weng drank the rice wine in the bowl in one gulp, nodded, said nothing, just cupped his hands, and strode out.

On the second day, Su Mu rested and did not go to the General Administration Department.

Throughout the whole day, thinking of Governor Weng's tears while eating wine yesterday, Su Mu felt extremely sad.

After thinking about it, he asked Xiaodie for a salt ticket of 200 taels of silver, put it in his bosom, and planned to lend the salt ticket to Governor Weng when he met Governor Weng tomorrow.

Su Mu also blamed himself in his heart: I, Su Mu, pretended to be poor because I wanted to fit into this small group, and it was out of selfishness.It is possible to pretend to be poor, but it is not the way of a gentleman.The examination is a major event related to Governor Weng's life.

During this period of time, Mr. Weng studied hard. It can be seen that he has a strong enterprising spirit.

If he gave up due to economic reasons, Governor Weng would not know what it would be like to be sad.

Forget it, when I see Mrs. Weng tomorrow, I will tell you the matter quickly. You must let him accept the salt ticket and try it in the imperial examination field. Only in this way will you be able to live up to the two months of hard study.

After resting for a day, when Su Mu returned to the experience hall, he found that Governor Weng's seat was vacant.

Su Mu couldn't help asking: "Why didn't Mr. Weng come, it seems that it's not his turn to take a rest today, right?"

Governor Niu interrupted: "I've already gone back."

Su Mu was shocked: "What went back?"

Governor Niu: "Master Weng came to the imperial city early yesterday morning to hand in his resignation letter to the officials, and took his wife and children back to his hometown in Henan."

Governor Niu has a quick temper and bullies the old man, who is kind and generous, and often bullies others.Now that Governor Weng is gone, his heart is sour, and his eyes can't help but turn red.

Others also bowed their heads silently when they thought of the benefits of Governor Weng's daily life.

"Oh, why is this old man in such a hurry that he doesn't want to participate in the Spring Festival?" Su Mu screamed, and was about to walk outside: "I'll chase him back."

At this time, Duan Jiong just walked in, and said with a sneer, "What are you chasing after? Governor Weng took a boat down the Grand Canal early yesterday morning, and now he is probably out of the boundaries of Shuntian Prefecture. It doesn't matter if people are poor, but they can't." Abandoning one's own ideals for the sake of Dao Liang's pursuit, and falling into the heart. The so-called, the sky is healthy, and a gentleman never rests with self-improvement. When it comes to being poor, no one is poor. If you are afraid of losing your official position, don't sign up for the exam. Anyway, Duan People are determined to take the test, and the worst thing is to quit the governor."

Su Mu was stunned, and sat down on the chair dejectedly.

Governor Niu heard Duan Jiong's harsh words, and shouted: "Lord Duan, the old man is very kind to us! He has his own reasons for giving up Chunwei, what are you talking about?"

Duan Jiong continued to sneer: "Some people are born with no ambition, why don't they talk about it?"

"You!" Governor Niu yelled angrily and jumped up, and the others hurriedly pulled him back, persuading him: "Forget it, Mr. Niu, forget it."

Duan Jiong smiled disdainfully, sat back in his seat, picked up an anthology of time and read it leisurely: "Master Niu wants to fight against me, so it's better to focus more on the imperial examination."

Governor Weng's sudden resignation made the atmosphere in the hall very dull, and Su Mu blamed himself and felt sad.

This morning, I didn't read a single word.

At noon, a book office ran in in a panic: "Governor Su, it's not good, it's not good, Mr. Wu is crazy, and he kept crying, saying that he would give up Chunwei instead of taking the exam."
