Lucky husband

The ox driver is a rough guy who doesn't know his own name. He doesn't know how powerful this old gentleman is. In his eyes, Li Chengshi, who is a head catcher in the county government, is a serious poor man, absolutely the most powerful people.

Therefore, when the old man said that he was going to Nanshun Street, the ox cart driver thought that the old man was entangled with Butou Li, and wanted to continue looking for him in the county government.

Seeing how Li Tutou respected the old gentleman just now, the ox driver didn't dare to say anything, and directed his old ox to walk towards Nanshun Street.

There are two streets in Changping County, one is Nanshun Street and the other is Beiwang Street. The two streets sandwich the county government office. The gate of the county government office is facing Nanshun Street.

On Nanshun Street, there are shops such as bookstores, pawnshops, banks, gold and silver shops, antique shops, and inns that have relatively few people and sell items with higher prices.

The other Beiwang Street is backed by the county office, and there is an alley in the middle, and the side door of the backyard of the county office is opened in this alley.It is said that this street was originally intended to be named Beiwang, but the county magistrate at that time felt that the word Wang was not good and changed it to Beiwang.

The shops over there are much more lively. There are teahouses, restaurants, cosmetic shops, jewelry shops, cloth shops, grocery shops and other shops. People come and go every day.

How did the old man know this when he was new here? He only remembered that Uncle Fu had said before that they lived in the Yuelai Inn on Nanshun Street, so he reported directly to Nanshun Street.

Walking in the county town, the old gentleman changed his drowsy appearance just now, and looked at the county town under the management of the boy from the Zhao family with great interest.

Along the way, the ox driver didn't dare to look back, and when he finally reached the place, he hurriedly said, "Mr., we're here."

The old man got off the ox cart, nodded slightly to the ox cart driver, and reservedly thanked: "Thank you for giving me a ride."

The ox driver lowered his head and answered a few words, and then hurriedly led his old ox away. After walking for a short distance, the ox driver turned his head to look at the old gentleman whose temperament was inconsistent with his clothes.

The old man in a coarse cloth bunt looked unobtrusive on this bustling and affluent street, as if a person like him should walk in such a place, and if he changed into a long robe, it would be more suitable.

The bullock driver shook his head to shake off the messy thoughts in his mind. Anyway, he had already delivered the man, so it didn't matter to him what happened in the future.

Of course, the old man didn't know that the ox cart driver had made up so many strange things in his brain. He walked leisurely on Nanshun Street, looking at the lives of the people and what the shops on both sides were selling.

"Master! You are back!" The old gentleman didn't go shopping for a long time, and an anxious man ran over from the front. It was Uncle Fu, "You said you too. When you left Beijing, you promised the young master not to mess up." You came here, you have to go out before you arrive at the inn just after eating, and you don’t bring anyone with you when I go to check out, so how can we rest assured, how does that boy Wenzhu do things.”

"Okay, old Fu, I'm back now. I told Wenzhu not to follow me, so don't punish him for not letting him eat." The old man interrupted Fubo's chanting, "Let's go, I Follow you back and change your clothes to visit that kid Zhao Chengze."

Uncle Fu nodded: "Okay, okay, I've already taken out the clothes. But, master, you know your body, so don't go out like this next time without taking anyone with you."

The old man responded impatiently: "I see, old man, how can you talk more than that brat in my family."

……

On the county government side, when Li Chengshi returned, most of the guards had already returned. Zhao Chengze had already asked them to go out as ordered. Starting from the county seat, they went door-to-door to check their household registrations, and confirmed that the people living in Changping County matched the records of the county government.

After Li Chengshi came back, Zhao Chengze asked him to send these servants out to do errands and the remaining half of the work in the county government. After that, the master and he will do the rest to maintain the normal operation of the county government.

After Li Chengshi understood what he was going to do and left, Zhao Chengze pressed his brows together, thinking about whether there was anything he missed.

At this time, the porter in the backyard came to announce that it was an old friend of their magistrate's visit, and handed over the post.

If someone who doesn’t have a post says they want to see the magistrate, the concierge will close the door without even looking at it, but the person who came over handed over the post, saying that he is an old friend of the magistrate, so the concierge accepts the post and quickly passes it over. , See if it is an old friend of the adults.

Looking at the words on the post, Zhao Chengze knew that the words did not belong to a friend he was familiar with. He opened the post with suspicion, his eyes glanced at the signature, and his hands trembled. It turned out to be Mr. Dehui.

Others may not be familiar with this name, but Zhao Chengze knows it. Mr. Dehui is a famous man with both civil and military skills. An Hao, Master Zhang.

Speaking of this Mr. Dehui, he is really a legendary figure in the Dayu Dynasty. He was born in the famous Zhang family in Kyoto, but he was just an inconspicuous side branch. After receiving the enlightenment education of ethnology, he went to join the army incognito.

Zhang Anhao was lucky. After three years in the army, foreign enemies invaded. He was taken to the battlefield and fought bravely on the battlefield. He was approved by his superiors and married his daughter to him.

After the war ended, the foreign nationals' heads, and these soldiers who went to the border returned to Beijing to reward their meritorious deeds. Zhang Anhao was directly named General Shenwei by the previous emperor, the third rank.

The defense of Kyoto consists of three battalions: Shenwei Battalion, Shence Battalion, and Shenji Battalion. Zhang Anhao was named General Shenwei, and the emperor planned to let him manage the Shenwei Battalion.

Unexpectedly, at this time, he actually proposed to be disarmed and returned to the field, saying that he was injured in the battle and could not manage the affairs of the Shenwei Camp. After the imperial doctor looked at it, the emperor agreed to his request. He has a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

Later, Zhang Anhao took his wife and son to build a Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, and lived a leisurely life in the Zhuangzi where he worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. At this time, Zhang Anhao was 30 years old and his son was four years old.

If the life continues like this, there will be nothing later. Two years later, Zhang Anhao's wife became pregnant again, and it was difficult to give birth. His wife chose to keep the child, which was a girl.

After his wife died, Zhang Anhao was very depressed for a while. It is said that at this time, his wife's father came to persuade him, telling him that now he is the only support for these two children. What to do with the two children in the future, the son can earn his own future, but the daughter has no mother, only a father who does not live up to expectations, in the future, he will be a head shorter than others, and ask him if he would like to let his daughter grow up and be wronged.

The daughter was born by his wife with all her life. Thinking that her daughter might be wronged, Zhang Anhao walked out of the pain of his dead wife.

Now that the war is over, the military commanders have already made their own arrangements. It is not easy for Zhang Anhao to return to martial arts, so he personally enlightened his son, picked up the basics he had learned, and started looking for a husband to teach him.

Two years ago, when it was revealed that General Shenwei, proclaimed personally by the Holy Majesty, was a side branch of their Zhang family, all of the Zhang family were very unhappy. The reckless men were unwilling to bring Zhang Anhao back to the clan with his wife and son.

Now Zhang’s family heard that Zhang Anhao started studying, and they were all dissatisfied. People in their thirties want to start studying again?If you can read something famous, don't lose face to their Zhang family and scholars all over the world.

After Zhang Anhao heard these words, he only did one thing, sending 200 taels of silver back to the Zhang family, which was regarded as a repayment for the Zhang family's kindness in nurturing him. From now on, Zhang Anhao will have nothing to do with the Zhang family.

Afterwards, Zhang Anhao ignored all kinds of voices from the outside world, and devoted himself to studying with his husband and taking the imperial examination. He passed the children's examination, county examination, hospital examination, government examination and township examination in one go, and obtained the qualification for the general examination.

This made those who laughed at him before get severely slapped in the face. You said that he could not study well, but he really did. He has reached a height that many scholars may not be able to achieve in their lifetime-juren.If he performs well in the test, he can become a Gongshi and further participate in the palace test.

At the stage of the palace examination, it is considered a sure-fire Jinshi, even if it is only a third-class Jinshi, no matter how you go to the local area, you can be a seventh-rank or sixth-rank official.

Living up to expectations, Zhang Anhao passed the examination and became a tribute.

At this time, the members of the Zhang family were secretly gnashing their teeth, hoping that Zhang Anhao's essays in the palace examination would be poor and not be appreciated by the Holy Majesty. As a result, when the ranking came out, Zhang Anhao was actually the first in the second class——Chuanlu.

From the time Zhang Anhao began to study with his husband to the time he passed the Chuanlu exam all the way, it only took seven years, and the faces of Zhang's family and those who laughed at him were all swollen.

Some people also privately joked that Zhang Anhao would be selected by the emperor as a biography because he used to be a military officer, with a loud and long voice, which is most suitable for singing when the ranking is announced.

After the imperial examination, Zhang Anhao was not admitted to work in the Imperial Academy, and the emperor personally ordered him to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs, so that he could start working in a brand new place.

The 39-year-old Zhang Anhao started as a member of the household department, Wailang, a junior official of the sixth rank, and after 20 years, he successfully climbed to the position of Shangshu of the household department, an official of the first rank. His life can be described as a legend.

Last year, Zhang Anhao wanted to resign. He happened to be hit by a drought. All the ministries were asking the Ministry of Accounts for money, and the local government also wanted to distribute money and food. The Holy One was worried that after he left, the remaining people in the Ministry of Accounts would not be able to handle the affairs well, so he would come back again. I kept him for a year.

By the spring of this year, the impact of the drought had weakened, and the affairs of the household department had been handed over. Zhang Anhao proposed to step down again, and the emperor agreed.

This year, Zhang Anhao, also known as Mr. Dehui, was only 65 years old when he left office.
