Rebirth of a famous family: Mala's first wife

Chapter 48
"Then where are the tens of thousands of taels of silver bills you brought? Have you used them?" As expected of a businessman, Yin's family has not forgotten this important question despite the ups and downs of her mood.

Embarrassment appeared on Fu Heng's face, but he quickly calmed down again, "Well, central Beijing is not as remote as Jincheng, and it takes a lot of money to make friends with nobles and colleagues in central Beijing... Two things, Although the doctor and the principal gave me an excellent rating, I still have to say that this is the only way to find a good job, isn't it ma'am?"

"You..." The master really has the personality of a penny and a penny!Yin Shi was originally a fiery person, but when she thought about what her daughter had repeatedly mentioned, not to get angry with her father, she could only soften her voice and say: "Oh, sir, how much did you spend and how much do you have left?" ?”

Fu Heng rubbed the back of his head embarrassingly, "Uh, there are about two or three thousand taels left..."

Mrs. Yin was still waiting to express her dissatisfaction a little bit, but Mrs. Fu had already taken up the conversation, "Okay, Gui Fen, don't make things difficult for Brother Heng, it's not easy for him to go to Beijing! Those old men in Beijing You know it too, it’s not a small appetite! Besides, Brother Heng now has the idea of ​​making progress, so he must leave a good impression in front of his colleagues, right?"

With her mother's support, Fu Heng nodded again and again in agreement, Yin Shi made a fuss, and gave her husband a slightly annoyed look.

"Okay, brother Heng, don't be foolish, but tell us, is it worth spending the tens of thousands of taels of your daughter-in-law?" Mrs. Fu half-jokingly said, looking at her son with a bit of a look Proud and pampered.

Only then did Fu Heng cautiously take out something from a brocade box behind him, but it was an official document covered with a large seal of vermilion lacquer. Fu Heng carefully unfolded the official document, raised his eyes from the paper, and looked at his mother and his wife. , looked a little proud, "Mother, please look, this is the document from the Ministry of Officials: Fu Heng, the former magistrate of Danyang County, was loyal to the emperor and the public, diligent in government and loving the people, ruled the government and people, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. If there is a shortage, I will go to the post immediately, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Suzhou Tongju! Alas, master, you have been promoted to Tongju! That's the sixth rank, so it's not even promoted two levels?" Yin Shi was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

Because her husband is an official, Yin also paid attention to it, and also knew that the post of general judge was a slightly lower official than magistrate.Regardless of the rank, it is only the sixth rank, but in addition to being the deputy chief of the state and county, it also has the duty of supervision, which is directly appointed by Jingli, and has the right to report directly to the emperor!The establishment of this position is also to prevent some prefectures from overweighting their powers and arbitrarily making themselves big.Therefore, orders issued by Zhizhou to subordinates must be signed by the general judge to take effect.For all matters concerning soldiers and civilians, money, household registration, taxes and labor, and litigation within a state, the general judgment can be made with the prefect.

So, the fact that the husband was awarded the post of general judge this time, does it mean that he has been accepted by the official circle in the capital?It seems that the truth that Qian can pass through the gods is true, and the strength of Cui Shilang is indeed not to be underestimated!
Although Mrs. Fu was also happy for her son, she was more confused: "Suzhou? Why is it so far away? It's close to northern Xinjiang!"

This is exactly what Fu Heng couldn't figure out.He knew that there was a rumor in Beijing that the Beirong army had made great efforts in recent years and might march towards Dasheng at any time!Therefore, on the one hand, my colleagues are afraid of becoming officials in the northern Xinjiang area, and they are afraid that if they are not careful, they will lose the city and lose their lives!But on the other hand, there are also some ambitious people who want to work in northern Xinjiang instead. They think that the more wars there are, the more opportunities they have to make contributions and get ahead...

So, with Cui Duo's intentional arrangement, is he planning to use him as a shield, or is he trying to give him a chance to take advantage of?Fu Heng intuitively leaned towards the latter.

So he comforted Mrs. Fu and said: "Mother, don't worry, my uncle made this arrangement on purpose. He really wants to transfer me from the land of Zhongzhou!" He deliberately paused, smiling a little mysteriously, "According to the words of the boss, the Holy One intends to eliminate corruption in the Zhongzhou area... and soon, all the rich states and counties will become targets of corruption!"

It is already an open secret in Beijing that the emperor intends to rectify the administration of officials.The emperor had two considerations. One was to find out corrupt officials and confiscate their wealth, so as to enrich the treasury to a certain extent.The second is to demonstrate the kindness of the emperor, to return the common people to a blue sky, and to appease the hearts of the people. Only when the people go to the country together to share the worries of the emperor and unite as one can they resist foreign enemies.But there is no need to mention these things with the women and children at home.

Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Yin couldn't help but look at each other after hearing Fu Heng's words.They all knew that Fu Heng's tenure as Danyang county magistrate was not innocent after all.Although he doesn't have much greed for ink, he is no longer a person with two sleeves.So I'm a little lucky, it's a good thing that Fu Heng can leave early!In this way, the cold and barren Suzhou is a happy land.

Mrs. Fu was very worried, and she couldn't help reminding her son that even though he left office, he still had to take good care of it, so that in the future, if a censor went to Zhongzhou or Danyang, his bad things would be revealed.Fu Heng responded one by one.

Then, Mrs. Fu remembered one more thing. His daughter-in-law Yin just had a miscarriage, and Aunt Tong sent her to Zhuangzi again. Isn't there no one to serve Brother Heng?Then he said to Mrs. Yin: "Gui Fen, you are not in good health now, and there is no one to take care of you in your husband's room. I see that Suyun girl in my room is a good one. She is careful and understands. Taking care of others, with a loyal temperament, why don't you just reward Brother Heng!" When Suyun led Yin Shi over earlier, Fu Heng waved her back, because what the three of them wanted to talk about, he I don't want the fourth person to know.

Yin Shi only felt her heart tremble suddenly!It's not the first time that the old lady rewarded her son with a girl like this!

In the past, when she was pregnant with a gentleman, the old lady would treat her like this, and that girl was later Aunt Feng.

Aunt Feng was extremely beautiful, she was more charming than Hua, and I felt pity for her, but she had a weak body that would collapse when the wind blows.At that time, the old lady's arrangement was indeed for Yin's benefit, because she did not intend to let Aunt Feng conceive Brother Heng's heir, she just wanted to have a good friend in Brother Heng's room during Yin's pregnancy. Just hot people.

Aunt Feng was originally serving by the old lady's side, and she knew this, so her attitude was always indifferent when it came to fighting for favor.It is this faint heart that makes her appear to be unique, which makes Fu Heng feel admiration for her, and really likes her!And this love is for several years!
Yin Shi was still young at that time, and she tried her best to bear it at first, after all, Aunt Feng didn't provoke her at all.Later, unable to stand Fu Heng's eccentricity, he gradually began to take pleasure in it, and even made flirts in front of her face, and often spoke nonsense to Aunt Feng, and Fu Heng was very angry with her for this.But Aunt Feng was unlucky after all. Once she caught a cold in the wind blowing by the lake, she couldn't afford it. Fu Heng invited many doctors to treat her, but finally she couldn't save her, and she died within a few months. Xiao Yu died.

Fu Heng was very sad because of this, and was depressed for a long time.One day, Mrs. Yin made a few small dishes to make him happy, but it turned out to be boring. The husband and wife quarreled on the spot, and Fu Heng spoke out his innermost thoughts in a fit of anger, saying that if he didn't grow up like a big woman, Why did Aunt Feng go to the lake to relax and enjoy the wind in the cold weather, making herself sick?Yin shivered with anger and scolded him for changing his mind and being a heartless man.

Later, when Yin was pregnant for the second time, that is, when she was pregnant with Junya, she learned her lesson and took the initiative to open the face of a girl beside her, Ziyu, who later became Aunt Li!

Although this Aunt Li has a beautiful name, she is far inferior to Aunt Feng in terms of appearance and grace. Fu Heng didn't like her very much at first, but later found that Li Ziyu was an idiot, and even secretly learned poetry without telling him. !It was only then that he was moved by her, and he had a good impression of her. Looking at her delicate and honest appearance, he also felt a little cute.

But when Biansheng Yin knew about this, she felt something was wrong again, and felt that Aunt Li was also disturbed, so she punished her!After Fu Heng found out, he was furious at first, and then felt that the whole thing was boring, so he moved to the study to sleep in a fit of anger, and ignored Aunt Li again.

But Aunt Li didn't learn a name for her poems and prose, instead she ended up in a state of incompetence. If she couldn't think about it, she would commit suicide, but fortunately she was rescued.It's a pity that the vocal cords were seriously damaged. After that, I hid in the room and cried every day, and refused to come out to meet people.It was old lady Fu who couldn't stand it any longer, and the master gave her a sum of money, sent her out of the mansion, and went to a certain countryside to retire...

Because of Aunt Feng and Aunt Li's affairs, Fu Heng didn't want to take another concubine for a long time.Sometimes when I was in a hurry, I would go to the Xianglou to play on the spot, but I didn't bring it home.But on this point, it is even worse for Yin Shi than if he came back with three or five concubines.The dignified county magistrate went to visit the kiln, which really disgraced her, the county magistrate's wife!

Fortunately, this situation didn't last long. One day, magistrate Fu fell in love with another young girl in Jiaofang, namely Tong Yuanyuan, later Aunt Tong!As soon as Aunt Tong entered the mansion, Fu Heng never went in and out of the Fireworks and Willow Lane, which made Yin a little bit more tolerant towards her. The reason why Aunt Tong became more and more rampant later was because she thought she had pinched Yin's weakness .After all, without her, the county magistrate would have to go to the brothel to vent his anger!The balance between the two phases is self-evident.

As for Yin Shi, after fighting with the concubines for so many years, especially after Aunt Tong's incident, she has become more obedient each time.She also knew that if she wanted to monopolize her husband, it would be impossible to be a couple with him forever, so she had already thought of a countermeasure before Mrs. Fu brought up Suyun's matter!
Yin quickly glanced at her husband, only to see that his face was composed, as if they had nothing to do with him in the matter of confiscating the house!She was [-]% displeased in her heart: Hmph, this greedy cat, looking at him like this, he is clearly acquiescing!
