Prime Minister

Chapter 524
After Zhang Yue returned to the mansion, there were guests in the magistrate's mansion, and he was meeting his wife.

When Zhang Yue asked, he learned that it was Wen Jifu's wife, Shiwu Niang, who had come.Zhang Yue couldn't help being surprised that Shiwu Niang didn't usually visit her home, so why did she come to her suddenly.

Because there were female family members in Zhang Yue, he didn't go back to the back room, but the room of the Imperial College was much smaller than before, even though Zhang Yue was in the front hall, he could still hear the woman's slight sobbing.

Zhang Yue also sighed, didn't it mean that the relationship between the lady and the fifteenth lady has not been harmonious?

How come the two seem to be reconciling now.

Soon there was a knock on the door, and it turned out that Wen Jifu had arrived.

Zhang Yue immediately pulled Wen Jifu to talk and asked, "Mr. Liulang, what's wrong with you?"

Wen Jifu sighed: "It's hard to say. My wife is here with you."

Zhang Yue said: "It seems to be here, I just came back from court."

At this moment, when the curtain was raised, Seventeen Niang came out with the arm of Fifteen Niang, but she saw that the tears on Fifteen Niang's face were still wet, and her eyes were swollen from crying.

Unexpectedly, Wen Ji had a quarrel with Shiwu Niang just as they met, Zhang Yue thought to himself that he had just finished dealing with the matter in court, and would it be impossible to persuade the quarrel when he came back?

The two were arguing, and Zhang Yue understood the ins and outs.

It turned out that Jiang Zhiqi's criticism of Ouyang Xiu had reached the ears of Wen Jifu's mother.The old man has always been strict in family management, so she was very displeased, and took a chance to beat Shiwu Niang a few words, and said a lot of things about three obediences and four virtues.

Fifteen Niang was upset when she heard this. Although she didn't turn against her mother-in-law on the spot, she quarreled with Wen Jifu afterwards and ran away from home.Shiwuniang thought that she could not go back to her mother's house, otherwise she would be even more troubled, so she came to Zhang's house.

Zhang Yue has met Shiwuniang several times, and has always seen that the other party is calm and very decent in handling things, but now she is no different from a resentful woman.

Wen Jifu no longer looks like a romantic son.

Zhang Yue heard several times that Shiwu Niang had always wanted Wen Jifu to become an official, and Wen Jifu was also willing, but Wen Yanbo just refused and let her son eat at home.Because of this, Shiwuniang has had a bad relationship with Wen Jifu over the years.

Shi Qi Niang winked at Zhang Yue and signaled him to say a few words.

Zhang Yue was not good at dealing with family matters, but because of his wife's words, he immediately stepped forward and said: "Liu Lang, although you and I have known each other for many years, I need to say a few words to you..."

Fifteen Niang sat aside and listened silently.

She remembered that the first time she met Zhang Yue was by the Jinming Pond. At that time, she was still worried whether this 'poor man' approached her sister with ill intentions.

At that time, when Wen Jifu asked about Zhang Yue's origin, he even had a condescending questioning meaning.

Later, when Zhang Yue and Shi Qi Niang got married, Zhang Yue won the first prize at that time, and he and Wen Jifu were already equals, and they called each other brothers and sisters.

But now, Shiwuniang sees that Zhang Yue has a first-class majesty, and the scarlet robe and fish bag on her body have not been replaced, and as a servant of Tianzhang Pavilion, she can see the officials every day.

It's only been a few years, and this man has grown at a speed that makes himself and Wen Jifu unmatched.

At this moment, not only himself, but even his husband Wen Jifu felt a little bowed in front of Zhang Yue.

What about the prime minister?His father-in-law is not only his husband and one son.

But there is only one person in this world who is the number one scholar and imperial edict.

At this moment, Shiwuniang couldn't help looking at Shiqiniang, and at this moment she finally admitted that her sister was really lucky.

After Zhang Yue persuaded Wen Jifu, the other party said: "Let Saburo worry about it, I will go back and clarify this matter with my father-in-law and mother."

Zhang Yue said: "Of course, at this time, let's not mess up among ourselves. I have already talked to the officials, and the case will be revealed soon. At that time, Uncle Ouyang should be able to clear his name."

Fifteen Niang asked in surprise and joy: "Sanlang, is this serious?"

Shiwuniang knew that Zhang Yue was now a close minister of the emperor, and if he rashly spoke for Ouyang Xiu in this position, it would be very relevant.But Zhang Yue knew this, but in the end he took his official career as a risk and must keep Ouyang Xiu.

Zhang Yue said: "Really, but I dare not say that I am absolutely sure. My sister will just go back and wait for the news."

Fifteen Niang said with tears: "If that's the case, I really don't know how to thank you."

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Where is this? There are traitors who slander me, how can I just sit idly by, not to mention that we are all prosperous and all will suffer."

Wen Jifu said with a smile: "Everyone is prosperous and everyone is prosperous, and every one is damaged and everyone is damaged. I am relieved if I have Sanlang's words."

Fifteen Niang said with tears: "In the past few days, Eldest Sister has wanted to die several times to prove her innocence. Fortunately, others persuaded you to die like this, and it was true, which dispelled Eldest Sister's idea. But these few days she has not know how it goes..."

Zhang Yue was also sad when he heard that, Ouyang Fa and Mrs. Wu had always been nice to him, without them, he would not have been able to find such a good lady.

After that, Shiwuniang and Wen Jifu left Zhang's house.

Seventeen Niang sent fifteen Niang to talk while walking.Shiwuniang glanced at Zhang Yue who was standing with Wen Jifu and said to her sister, "Seventeen, your Saburo is really good."

Seventeen Niang smiled and said, "Thank you, sister."

Zhangyue Shiqiniang sent Wen Jifu and Shiwuniang to the carriage.

Fifteen Niang and Wen Jifu remained silent in the car, Wen Jifu said: "The lady is still angry with me."

Fifteen Niang said: "No, I just think my brother-in-law..."

"how?"

Fifteen Niang said: "No."

At this moment, Shiwuniang had a thought, if she married Zhang Yue and her younger sister married Wen Jifu, it would be great.

Just when Ouyang Xiu's case was being tried by Zhongshu.

The review of the four-year provincial examination in Zhiping is coming to an end.

The chief examiner of this subject is Sima Guang, a Hanlin scholar.

Sima Guang's examination room Hengwen went to the end, and finally confirmed that one person can be the first!

Not only Sima Guang thought so, but also several other examiners.

"Whether it is a poem, a fu, a policy, a theory, or a scripture, it is the first in every field, and we are all convinced!"

All the examiners spoke in unison.

Sima Guang smiled and said, "Did you really see clearly? Convinced?"

An examiner at the side said with a smile: "Yes, it's really not easy. We are fighting endlessly for the second, third, and even fifth and sixth, but now everyone is unanimous about the first. I really don't know what kind of examinee it is." , Where can scholars come from to write such beautiful articles."

"Most of them are scholars from the south."

"It's really a gift from heaven to my Emperor Song!" An examiner bowed directly to Tianchang.

Sima Guang said: "This old man also thinks that this son is the number one. Since everyone wants to see who it is, let me make it clear first. No matter who the other party is, the number one position cannot be changed."

"Exactly." All the examiners said together.

Immediately, the little official stepped forward to reveal his name, and all the examiners gathered in front of the paper.

"Pucheng Zhangzhi!"

"It's really a southerner, or a Fujianese."

"Why hasn't anyone heard of this?"

"Hey, but it's Zhang's son again."

"Zhang Duzhi, Zhang Ziping, Zhang Zhifu, Zhang Zihou, now add another province!"

"The Zhang family really has all kinds of talents!"

"That's right, it's really the number one imperial family."

Sima Guang looked at the names on the list, and then said to the left and right: "Immediately write it on the imperial list! Make another copy for the officials to read!"
