On the second day, when all the officials had left the yamen for duty, Gao Shi explained to the Xiaohuangmen and ordered them to serve Zhao Yun well. Then he took several Xiaohuangmen out of the palace and went straight to Wang Jin's mansion.
Soon, Gao Shi and his party arrived at Wang Jin's house. When Wang Jin learned that Gao Shi was coming, he was overjoyed and came out to greet them with smiles on his face.
"I didn't know that my father-in-law is here, but I missed you from a distance. Please forgive me."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Our family just has nothing to do and happened to pass by the envoy's residence. I came here to acknowledge the door so that you don't think our family is presumptuous."
"How dare you, how dare you, my father-in-law is here, and your subordinate is so brilliant, how dare you think too much."
Wang Jin invited Gao Shi into his house. After Gao Shi entered, he looked around for a while. He saw that all the servants in Wang Jin's house were respectful and did not dare to move or make a sound. They were very well behaved. Gao Shi admired in his heart.
, I thought that this Wang Jin was very talented in managing his family well and using small things to see big things.
After sitting down, the two of them exchanged a few polite words, and then Gao Shi said: "I heard that your Majesty and your wife raised eyebrows and treated each other as if they were guests. They are very affectionate. We are very curious. I wonder if we can meet Mrs. Ling?"
Wang Jin was surprised and wondered why Eunuch Gao wanted to see my wife?
If he covets my wife's beauty, then there is no harm in giving it to him, but he is a eunuch, how is this possible?
Could it be that he came to inspect me on orders from officials?
Yes, it must be, otherwise, there is no other reason besides this.
Not daring to be negligent, Wang Jin stood up and said: "What did you say, my father-in-law? It is my blessing that I can see my father-in-law. Please wait a moment, my father-in-law. I will ask my father-in-law to come out."
Wang Jin quickly came to Li Xianer's room and said fiercely to him: "The eunuch Gao Eunuch, who is close to the official family, is here and wants to see you. When we meet, you must treat me with respect and treat me as a guest. If you harm me,
I will sell you to a mine and torture you to death!"
Li Xianer was so frightened that she could not dare to disobey.
Just as he was about to take Li Xian'er out, Wang Jin saw the bruises on Li Xian'er's neck that he had beaten himself. He suddenly became extremely worried. If this was seen, he would not be able to explain it.
What should I do? You can’t wear a scarf on this hot day, right?
In desperation, Wang Jin ordered someone to get a spoon and used it to scratch the bruises hard. Li Xianer was so painful that she burst into tears, but she didn't dare to scream and could only force herself.
He gritted his teeth and endured it, tears dripping down the corners of his eyes.
At this moment, Li Xianer regretted that if she had known that Wang Jin was such a person, it would have been better to marry an honest coolie than to marry him.
Li Xianer was finally brought to Gao Shi, and she acted extremely affectionate with Wang Jin without any flaws.
Acting in front of others is not difficult at all for Li Xianer, who was born in Dianqing Pavilion.
Seeing how loving and affectionate the couple was, Gao Shi was filled with envy in his heart. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Zhangjun and his wife treat each other with respect and are so sweet and affectionate. It really makes others envious."
While talking, Gao Shi saw the marks on Li Xianer's neck, which seemed to be scars. Gao Shi was surprised and looked at Wang Jin with doubts in his eyes. Could it be that Wang Jin was a wife beater?
Wang Jin quickly explained with a smile and said: "My father-in-law, please don't misunderstand me. This is caused by the scraping of the lower body. My father-in-law doesn't know. The lower body has been feeling unwell recently. The doctor told me that it can be cured by scraping. There is nothing I can do."
, I had no choice but to endure the pain and follow the instructions. Every time I scrape her body, it hurts my heart."
Li Xian'er was shocked, fearing that Gao Shi would see it, so she hurriedly covered it up with a smile and said: "That's right, the slave has been sick since he was a child. It's a pity that the husband is busy with government affairs and distracted by the slave at the same time. Every time he thinks about it,
, the slaves are all blaming themselves, blaming themselves for dragging down the husband and causing his career to stagnate."
As she spoke, Li Xianer began to sob, and those watching could not help but feel sad in their hearts.
Gao Shi saw that the bruise really looked like the shape made by a spoon. He immediately doubted that he was there and nodded in praise: "Madam, there is no need to be sad. Your husband has been summoned by Your Majesty now. Jane is in the Emperor's heart. I believe that his official career will be good soon."
There is improvement.”
Wang Jin was extremely excited, but he tried hard to control his emotions and not show them. He said: "It doesn't matter what position you hold to share the worries of the official family or serve the court. All you need to do as an official is to have a clear conscience and fulfill your responsibilities. The rest will be done."
No more begging."
Seeing that he was sincere, Gao Shi felt even more satisfied.
When Gao Shi returned to the palace, he told everything about Wang Jin. In the end, Gao Shi couldn't help but admire: "This Wang Jin is really a talented person with good conduct. He is really a blessing to the court and your Majesty."
.”
Zhao Yun was very satisfied after hearing this, no longer doubted, and admired Wang Jin very much.
Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Although the compulsory teaching method is about to be implemented across the country, there are still some shortcomings in the farmland to household method, which need to be sorted out. Chen Guiyi and others are busy teaching the compulsory teaching method, and Wang Jin just went to inspect the local area.
, it can also test his ability.”
So Zhao Yun soon issued an order and appointed Wang Jin as the new law inspection envoy to inspect the situation of farmland to household laws in various states.
After receiving the appointment, Wang Jin was extremely excited. He only had a premonition that a golden avenue appeared in front of him, waving to him. Whether he could soar into the sky depended on this opportunity.
Excited, Wang Jin went to look for the fortune teller again, but there was still no trace of the fortune teller.
Wang Jin couldn't help but feel a little anxious, wondering where his husband had gone and why he was nowhere to be seen. What should I do?
In his eagerness, Wang Jin could not control so much. The strong desire to climb up made him desperate. He secretly swore and said: "It's been three years, it's been three years. I swear, those who looked down on me before will not laugh at me anymore."
My people, and everyone who stands in front of me, I will trample you all under my feet!"
With this belief, Wang Jin began his inspection trip.
Along the way, Wang Jin was well entertained and well-fed by the magistrates from various places. Wherever he went, he was treated like stars holding the moon. It was really a wonderful sight.
However, when Wang Jin was proud of his achievements, he was also a little disappointed. That is, he didn't find any major events along the way, which made his political achievements during this trip less outstanding and mediocre.
This situation did not change until Wang Jin came to Fuzhou for inspection.
On this day, the local magistrate Gao Yang entertained him warmly.
During the banquet, Wang Jin asked him about the local situation and learned that Fuqing County under the rule of Fuzhou was Chen Guiyi's hometown. Wang Jin couldn't help but become particularly interested.
So on the next day, Wang Jin went to Fuqing County for inspection in the name of investigation.
