reborn wife

The old lady was chatting with Wen Zhiru and various parents, when a little girl came to report in a hurry, saying that the second young master had returned.

Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment when they heard this title, and then they remembered that Wen Zhixu, who was once the first young master of the Wen family, is now the second young master.

Wen Zhixu was originally the only son of the Wen family, and Wen Yanfeng had spent a lot of effort in educating him. He was sent to study in an academy when he was seven or eight years old, and he was admitted to the Imperial College two years ago.

In fact, Mrs. Qian was reluctant to let Wen Zhixu leave home all the year round. After all, he was the only son. No matter what, Wen Yanfeng had to care about the relationship between father and son.

But Mr. Wen said that academics are the most important thing, so Qian can't refute.

Now that she is ill, and Wen Zhiru has suddenly become the young master again, why don't you hurry up and send someone to call Wen Zhixu back.

Wen Zhixu entered the room to greet the old lady, and the old lady asked a few words about his study in the Imperial College, and then told everyone to leave.

After leaving the old lady's yard, he was thinking of going to Zezhixuan to see Mrs. Qian, when he saw Wen Zhiru not far behind him.

"Brother." He yelled with a smile. He was the only boy in the mansion since he was a child. He didn't have a companion if he wanted to be mischievous. He was somewhat lonely. Now that Wen Zhiru suddenly became his elder brother, it was inexplicable. There was a lot of intimacy.

Wen Zhixu is more than half a year younger than Zhiru, and his appearance is more inherited from Master Wen, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.He was sent to the academy outside by Wen Yanfeng since he was a child, and he could only go home every three to five months. Naturally, he didn't have to be as thin and tender as the young master born in the mansion, with a slightly dark complexion and neat white teeth. , when he smiles, he has a little more hearty and heroic spirit of a teenager.

He looked at Wen Zhiru. He hadn't seen him in a few months. He had grown so much that he was almost unrecognizable. He only remembered that this older sister was reserved and reticent, but she was very gentle and charming. Now she was dressed in men's clothing. He was still a beautiful young man with picturesque features, and he seemed to be even more handsome than before.

"Second brother." Wen Zhiru is hostile to Qian, but he still approves of this younger brother. After all, it was Wen Yanfeng who taught him, and his behavior is like a young master of a family. "I haven't seen you for a few months. Second brother seems to be strong Yes, and a bit higher."

"Father said that he can't just focus on studying, and martial arts can't be neglected."

"My second brother will be successful, and my parents will be happy too. Have you thought about when to take the imperial examination?"

"Actually... I originally wanted to try it this year, but my father said to let me practice more, I am still young, so I am not in a hurry, so I have full confidence before going."

"What about your own plan?"

"Father is right. Mr. Shen won the number one scholar this year. I can't even get a first-class Jinshi and embarrass my father. But I don't care about these things. Compared with fame, I think I can make a fortune for the court." It is more important to work hard to benefit the common people of the Great Jin Dynasty."

"Second brother has a heart for the country and the people at a very young age. Dad will be happy when he finds out."

The two chatted casually, and then they walked to Ze Zhixuan's door.

It stands to reason that Wen Zhiru should also go in to greet the mistress, but it is Wen Zhiru who the Qian family has seen the most in the past few days, and even Wen Yanfeng specially ordered him not to go to Zezhixuan for the time being, so he said goodbye to Zhixu .

As soon as Wen Zhiru left, Wen Zhixu stepped into the door, facing Qian's crying.

What to say, "I can't live through this day", "Everyone is uneasy, treacherous, and scorpion-hearted", "They all bully her orphans and widows", how so...

"Mother, what about orphans and widowed mothers? I think Dad treats you very well!"

"What do you know! You haven't been here for the past few months. You know that that little bastard is trying to please your father every day. Because of his status as the eldest son, he no longer takes your mother and me seriously. Now Lian Mei That bitch has already learned those lowly tricks to compete for favor, this Wen Mansion will soon lose your mother's status!"

"After all, you are the official wife in this mansion, and my father is after all for you. What is there to care about with those concubines?"

Men will never understand the idea that women care about everything.Isn't it just talking a few more words with someone, going to someone's house for a few more days, is it worth the calculation every day and every month?

"Don't care? Don't care about your mother, can I be Mrs. Wen, don't care about you, can you be the young master of the Wen family?" As soon as the identity of the young master was mentioned, Qian's tears could not be stopped. "I just don't care too much. Your well-behaved eldest son has now inexplicably become the second son. In the future, even the division of the family business will depend on other people's faces. If the emperor confers a title in the future, you will have no part in it! Now our mother and son will become a joke in the eyes of those aristocratic families in the capital! Why should I not care about it!"

"Mother, you know I don't care about these things. Since Zhiru is the eldest brother, then these things in Wen's residence should belong to him."

"What do you mean it should be his? That bitch Shen Ruxin shouldn't have let her be born when she was pregnant!"

Wen Zhixu's head was aching from crying, but in front of him was his own mother, so he couldn't say anything, so he could only coax him patiently, "Mother, my son will study hard in the future, get a good name in the exam, and make meritorious deeds. light."

"Mother knows you are good." Hearing these words, Qian's mood finally eased, "But mother can't swallow this, you know? The number one scholar of the third son of the Shen family was brought back by your father. After so many years, he still prefers that bitch Shen Ruxin."

"Mother, don't guess, the third son Shen also has real talents and lessons."

His mother really listened to the wind and the rain. The examination papers of the scientific examination were reviewed by so many officials. If they were really useless, how could they pass the palace examination?

Mr. Guozijian, the top three articles this year, also showed them the article. Speaking of which, the knowledge of those few people is also between brothers. so exaggerated.

When Qian heard that Zhixu was defending Mr. Shen's family, she quit immediately, and her crying voice was sharp and harsh, "Xu'er! Are you still my son? Just bear to see your mother being bullied like this in the house? Do you want your mother to be killed by them to make you feel at ease?" While speaking, he put his hands on his chest, looking like he was about to die in pain.

Wen Zhixu had a splitting headache, but he could only continue to comfort him, "Mom, I am your son, I will listen to you whatever you say, don't be angry, my son will feel bad if he hurts..."

************************************************** ***************************

Wen Yanfeng was delayed in the cabinet for a few hours that day, and came back relatively late.

The little emperor has been restless recently.

On the Qixi Festival day, Jin Yihui and Xia Houchen more or less accepted Wen Zhiru's suggestion, and advised Jin Junyu not to attack the Ministry of War too quickly, so as not to annoy Lord Shoufu and let others take advantage of it.

The little emperor originally listened.

But just two days ago, Jin Junyu had another fight with Mr. Shoufu over whether to reduce or exempt taxes for several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.

The climate in the south is humid and rainy, and in summer, there are often heavy rains and waterlogging.

The little emperor wanted to be a good emperor who was diligent in governing and caring for the people. After receiving a few letters from the rainstorm in the south, he said that he would exempt all grain taxes in the south of the Yangtze River this year.

Unexpectedly, before the edict had time to order someone to write it, the little emperor received a scolding from the chief assistant.

It is true that the south is rainy and waterlogged, but the warmer climate in the south is more suitable for the growth of crops. Compared with the arid and cold north, the rice in the south can mature for multiple seasons a year, and it is the main source of the Dajin Dynasty's treasury's grain storage.

Now it seems that the world is in peace, but the national treasury has already been consumed almost during the war in the previous dynasty. The accounts of the Ministry of Finance seem to be full, but in fact it is all the money owed by the provinces and places.

The officials below are greedy, and report the disaster situation at the slightest sign of trouble, waiting for the imperial court to allocate funds. The imperial court says they will pay three cents of the tax, and they will collect four cents if the imperial court says it will be exempt from taxes.

The money is all in the pockets of corrupt officials, and the common people can really feel Jin Junyu's love for the people.

To get rid of corrupt officials, Jin Junyu can't easily do it with a single word and two hands, it will take time to sort it out slowly.

Right now, taxes have to be collected, and the country has confidence when the treasury is abundant.Whether it was really affected by the disaster and how serious it is, we have to send a trustworthy imperial envoy to check it out in person, so as to remind those corrupt officials.

It's a pity that Mr. Shoufu has not finished his reasoning, but the little emperor has already insisted that this man is deliberately against him.

He doesn't want any talents he likes, and he doesn't allow any policies he wants to implement.

Well, before, the son of the virtuous king and the young master Xiahou advised him to stay calm and not to confront Mr. Shoufu head-on.

This time he didn't want to bear it anymore, he had to do Cao Yerong, the left servant of the Ministry of War.

In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen memorials to impeach Cao Yerong were piled up on Wen Yanfeng's desk, covering all kinds of crimes you can imagine, such as corruption and bribery, forming a party for personal gain, moral corruption, and so on.

Wen Yanfeng looked at the names of the censors who seldom spoke on weekdays on the memorial, and couldn't help but admire in his heart. Jin Yihui and Xia Houchen also put in a lot of effort this time.

It is really impossible to say that Cao Yerong can achieve his current official position safely and securely, but he did not take other people's money, but this huge family business is more or less bought by taking advantage of his position.

If you want to talk about forming a party for personal gain, then this is a long story.In the imperial court, if the faction of Lord Chief Assistant and the faction of Prince Rui and Empress Dowager were to be cut off, the little emperor might be really lonely when he goes to court tomorrow.

As for moral corruption, Cao Yerong is good in everything, but he can't change his lust.

He is over 50 this year, and last month he heard that a new aunt was redeemed from a brothel, not yet 15 years old, so there are more than ten aunts who have been married in his mansion.

Wen Yanfeng felt that this man would die in a woman's bed sooner or later.
