Chapter 759: Incense Love, Seeing the Enemy

When Wang Fulin left the cabinet and left the Huiji Sect, he happened to pass by the little official who went to report to Zhang Juzheng about Tan Lun's death. Although he felt that the man was in a hurry and something big might have happened, he was only a seventh-rank sesame official in the palace city, so he naturally could not stop him from asking. Zhang Juzheng said he was giving him a fake, but he thought about it, and he was still from the Censorate. He had to say a word to his superior for such a big thing. After leaving the palace, he turned back to the Censorate and went to see Chen Zan, the left censor, again.

He had already told the story of Zhang Juzheng summoning him before, and finally told him about Zhang Juzheng's complaints about his falsification. Then he waited for the old man's reply. It took him a long time to wait.

Chen Zan, who was in his early seventies, can be regarded as the oldest among the senior officials in the court, but if you talk about qualifications, those who are interested will notice a meaningful factor. Because this Zuodu Censor was also a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing! In other words, Zhang Juzheng, Yin Zhengmao, Chen Zan, Wang Daokun, Ling Yunyi, and Liu Yingjie, these senior officials who were either in the center or in the local government were all the same year as Ding Wei in Jiajing. Therefore, this is also the biggest reason why the rumored and honest Mr. Chen, the old man who was rumored to be a little thunderous and rainy in the face of Wang Fulin.

Of course, compared to the other few people who were in their early twenties, Chen Zan was late in his career and was only 42 years old, and he was still at the bottom of the list. Of course, the interesting things in that class were not only the last. Liu Yingjie ranked ninth to the bottom and Yin Zhengmao ranked twelfth to the bottom. In comparison, Chen Zan, the 25th to the bottom, was nothing. But if the pace of promotion was calculated, Chen Zan, who was only the county magistrate, was definitely not a slow person. Although he was not good at arguing and never talked about friendship with others in the same year. He seemed to be unable to make money, but he was definitely not just a stubborn old man.

"You go to Guangdong and travel thousands of miles back and forth, and it is natural for the Chief Supervisor to take leave. However, there are only seven people in Guangdong. Now one person is on board, and you will take leave again. If the time is too long, it will delay the main business. You will give you twenty days off. Twenty days later, you will take the leave and come back to take office on time." Speaking of this, Chen Zan added, "You will also copy another copy for me to archive."

Wang Fulin was just thinking that if Chen Zan really waited until Zhang Juzheng ordered to learn about the fake, it would leave the impression that he was holding the chief assistant and suppressing people. Then he came to see the old man and did it. If Chen Zan was not sure, he would do his best to slap it. Who would have thought that Chen Zan would criticize it so happily! After being stunned, he immediately agreed, and then he asked with a little hesitation: "Where is the Guangdong Daozheng Censor Qian Shiyu..."

Wang Fulin was called by Zhang Juzheng from the Censorate before, which naturally alarmed Chen Zan. After all, the old man had only woken up before he realized that according to the rules, he should wait for Zhang Juzheng, who represents the emperor, to meet Wang Fulin before meeting Wang Fulin. Therefore, he learned that Wang Fulin was going to meet Qian Ruyi, the censor of Guangdong Daozheng. When he arrived at the door, he was suddenly called over. Qian Ruyi and Du Dushi of the Experience Department were still muttering about this. He thought about it and said, "You can go back first."

Although Qian Ruyi, a senior censor, has jurisdiction over the newly returned inspectors, he has done too obvious. Since he is in the Censorate for a long time and should be at the age of release, he should check whether there are any sub-visit roads in Guangdong and give a sub-visit road, which is almost consistent with his political achievements.

Early in the morning, he went to the Censorate and then went to the Censorate. After returning, he went to the Censorate and saw that he had missed lunch, so he simply found a small restaurant to fill his stomach and returned to the Wang Mansion. However, as soon as he got off the horse at the door, he rushed over like a gust of wind and whispered: "Little official, the top scholar, I heard that you were back, and I brought Mr. Chen to come to you together. Unexpectedly, the Tan Mansion came to report the funeral. The master, the second and fourth masters were worried that the eldest son of the Tan Mansion would be the eldest son, and the funeral was difficult to handle, so he went to the Tan Mansion together. The top scholar took Mr. Chen back and waited for the costumes to go to the sacrifice."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Fulin looked dazed. He quickly helped Wang Fulin and took the people in a daze. Then he personally served Wang Fulin to change into a plain suit. Wang Fulin had traveled day and night from Huizhou to return to the capital by land day and night, and the box was still on the water canal. Therefore, this dress was left by Wang Daoguan in his early years, so he naturally didn't care about so many. When he took Wang Fulin out again, he saw the little official lowering his eyelids and half-closing his eyes, but still couldn't hide the light of water in his eyes.

Two days ago, Wang Fulin had just arrived here. Although Tan Lun was terminally ill, he was still energetic to talk to him. Now, two white lanterns symbolizing funerals were hung in front of the Tan Mansion. Most of the servants had tied white filial piety belts on their waists. As for relatives within the five robes, they had to wait for the small burial and mourning clothes before they could change into their own filial piety clothes. He only felt that the world was vicissitudes, but it was just like this. At this moment, the Tan Mansion looked no different from usual, but it seemed a little busy because of this sudden funeral. Soon, someone took Wang Fulin to a small flower hall.

"Brother Zili's wife, that is, your mother, has passed away long ago. Now all the concubines around you have been dismissed. Your two younger brothers are still on the way here. As the eldest son, you will cry and thank the guests for your condolences. Your wife is not in the capital. I am afraid you will not care about the affairs of this family. In this way, I will let Zhongjia stay in the Tan family to help you with the funeral chores, so that you can pay less attention to it."

As soon as he entered the door, Wang Fulin saw Wang Daokun giving advice, and Tan Xian stood there in a daze. I don’t know if he had heard what he said just now. He was one step late and wanted to ask why he would not let Wang Daoguan stay, the new Jinshi, stay, but then he thought of many social events such as Wang Daoguan and the new Jinshi Enrong Banquet, and even go to the museum to try his luck. He changed his words and said, “Uncle, the Chief Auxiliary and Mr. Chen have just criticized me for twenty days off. The Grand Sima had a love for me to give a word and sword to me before his death. I will stay and help Brother Tan.”

As for what Zhang Juzheng said, I just send a message back and ask Chen Bingchang to make a draft!

My father left two days after seeing Wang Fulin. Tan Xian initially felt that if he hadn't been to the beginning, his father might not have passed away so soon. But now, the first time the obituary was issued, all the Wang family came immediately. After he woke up, he couldn't help but feel a little grateful.

Yesterday, after a rare awakening, Tan Lun asked himself to send out the private message to Zhang Juzheng, and advised him that Ling Yunyi, Zhang Xueyan and others were all people who Zhang Juzheng valued very much. They would recommend him to him in the future. They would always remember it well. They would be more incest to the three of Tan Xian brothers. As for Zhang Juzheng, they might remember to take care of the descendants of the Tan family because of this.

And these are also because of Wang Fulin’s idea?

Therefore, thinking that Tan Lun had sent a message to his hometown until his illness was indeed serious, and asked his two younger brothers to come over with his wife. His own wife was also taking care of his son in his hometown, and this time he would go to Beijing. He calmed down hard. After wiping his eyes, he said solemnly: "Then I will trouble Uncle Zhongyan and Shiqing's virtuous brother!"

Although Wang Daokun found it strange that Wang Fulin had an extra twenty days off for no reason, he didn't care about so much at the moment. Considering that Wang Dao, who had experienced the funeral, came forward and Wang Fulin's helper, the funeral of the Tan family should be smoother. However, when he learned that Tan Lun's concubines were all dismissed, there was no one in the inner house. If many servants and maids had a scandal of being lazy or having something to escape, it would hurt Tan Lun Qingyu. Therefore, after leaving the Tan family, he returned and reminded Tan Xian to choose the most reliable mature servant among the servants and take charge of the cards in the inner house.

Since he was helping at the Tan family, bathing in small burials, burials, burials, setting up spiritual beds, etc., Wang Fulin naturally participated one by one. However, when he experienced the funeral of ancient people for the first time in his life, he was just a helping character, but he was better than Tan Xian, who was full of mourning. He just thought that Tan Lun was so old, but no relatives followed him in the capital, and only one eldest son was by his side to take care of him. He couldn't help but sigh.

According to legend, although Tan Lun is not as greedy as Hu Zongxian, he does not take any money. However, after two days in the Tan Mansion, he found that the Tan family’s father and son were all people who did not have much money. Before, the Tan family’s silver exchange was all under the jurisdiction of the housekeeper. Tan Xian, who was the son, didn’t even know how much money he had in his family!

Fortunately, the old housekeeper of the Tan family was not a big loan shark outside the country, and Guan said that people were in favor and were in contact with others everywhere, but he was very old and could not have any careful management. When Wang Fulin got the account book, he saw that the deceased Minister of War had only a total of more than 1,100 taels of silver on the books, and many of them had not been taken back, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. After asking, he found out that Tan Lun's salary was just a little, and there were too many favors and a lot of expenses for servants and maids. If the late Mrs. Tan had not opened a cosmetic shop in the capital, the funeral would have been impossible!

Fortunately, Tan Lun of Shoucai had already prepared for a long time and didn't need to go to find others. Wang Daohui was in charge of the others, so Wang Fulin simply took over the business and sat in the account room to concentrate on the settlement of money. When the third day, when the foreign guests were officially welcomed to pay condolences, the first person to come was Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the dynasty. After all, Wang Daohui was responsible for the matter of sending off the outside world, so he didn't need to show off. Therefore, he casually called a note on the account book and said to a servant who came to hear the reply: "Please come here."

Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun had a very good personal relationship. He had been here many times before. Now he is revisiting the old place, but his old friend is always separated by heaven and man. Naturally, he couldn't help but feel sad. Seeing that Wang Daohui came out to welcome Wang Daohui, although he had known that Wang Daokun asked his cousin and Wang Fulin to help him together, he still felt a little dissatisfied with Tan Lun. Even if his children and grandchildren were not good, he would be left with more people in the capital, how could he be too stretched to do his funeral now? Thinking this in his heart, when he entered the road, he had to ask Wang Daohui for his arrangements for the deeds. When he heard that he was still orderly, he looked around and asked again.

"Wang Shiqing heard that he would help again?"

Wang Daohui hesitated for a while until he found that Zhang Juzheng's face was a little bad, he whispered: "In the account room, Grand Sima didn't care much about things outside his body during his lifetime, so there was not much money left on the books..."

When the ministers of this dynasty were mourning, there were many people who had no other things to serve. Zhang Juzheng did not expect that Governor Tan Lun had served several positions and would have fallen to such a level. He was stunned. He had prepared a generous gift for the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the charity of the char

Hearing that Zhang Juzheng had given such instructions, You Qi did not dare to be negligent and immediately agreed to leave in a hurry. As soon as he left, Zhang Juzheng followed Wang Daohui all the way to the mourning hall. After burning incense and worshiping, he couldn't help but caress the coffin and stare blankly. Facing this scene, Wang Daohui did not dare to urge or persuade him, and Tan Xian was even more unconscious. Even if Wang Daohui interacted with literati and scholars on weekdays, a few words could make people feel like spring breeze, but now he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and he felt a little regretful that Wang Fulin did not show up in the tent, so he didn't even have any ideas.

In the account room, when Wang Fulin, who was explaining two expenses to the old housekeeper of the Tan family, saw someone coming in when the curtain moved, he immediately looked out and found that a middle-aged man in plain clothes came. At first glance, it seemed like he was a follower, but he was inadvertently showing a bit of condescending aura. It turned out that he had taken Shen Maoxue to visit the Zhang family with uncle and nephew Shen Yourong to visit the Zhang family. It was You Qi who had taken a look!

Before he could speak, the old housekeeper who also turned around was stunned and immediately smiled and shouted, "Why did Master You Qi come here?"

Wang Fulin thought to himself that when the enemy met, he was extremely jealous! Last time he didn't know his enemies in person, but this time he had heard about the old things from the eunuch of Nanjing Zhang Feng, and then stayed in Nanjing for three more days and sent someone to Meng Fang's mansion to inquire. He was basically completely sure that You Qi did stay during the provincial examination four years ago. For this reason, he had to travel day and night for the rest of the time, and almost didn't run away to death!

When You Qi saw Wang Fulin, he was also confused. After he failed to make trouble in the Nanjing provincial examination in the first year of Wanli, he went to Jiangling Mansion to deliver a letter to the old lady of the Zhang family. He also heard the old lady mention Wang Fulin a few words. After returning to Beijing, Wang Fulin was already on the list, but he never sent an official. He even went to Liaodong for a walk. He had nothing to do with him. After meeting him, he naturally almost forgot about this person.

But Wang Fulin had no official position and had no position. When he returned to his hometown in Huizhou, he would not stop. When he went to Guangdong to be an inspector, he simply drove away two governors. The old things he had in Nanjing back then were inevitably reminiscent of. Will such a guy who could cause trouble but was not afraid of trouble know that he was almost counted as a gang during the provincial examination?

"It turns out that Master You Qi came in person."

You Qi looked at Wang Fulin quietly, but he didn't expect that the other party would greet him like the old housekeeper. He ignored the old housekeeper. When Tan Lun was alive, he took care of the Tan family's industry and made several business operations for the sake of the Minister of War, so that the old housekeeper could maintain the Tan family's food and consumption expenses. Now, when Tan Lun dies, people will always leave and tea will be cold. How could he be happy to dismiss a servant again? He lost his identity for no reason!

He immediately called out and said, "How dare you call Wang Shiyu this? Just call me You Qi. The Chief Auxiliary asked me to send the ban to the account room personally, and asked Wang Shiyu to accept it."

ps: I just want to write about the imperial examination rankings of these famous officials back then. Don’t look down on the three-level and the Jinshi. Many people have come from the three-level and I remember that both are the three-level and the Jinshi. Also, the Jinshi of the three-level and the Jinshi have not yet fallen to becoming county magistrates... The second update asks for double monthly tickets, thank you everyone (to be continued.)
