Chapter 491 When the Empress Dowager's Thousand Autumn Festival approaches, the imperial capital becomes particularly lively. . .
There was also a lot more socializing and gossiping in the Jiang family.
However, compared with going out to attend banquets, He Zijin paid more attention to the Dali Temple exam that he was about to take on the Double Ninth Festival.
Although it was only an exam for low-ranking officials, it was the beginning of becoming an official in the Double Ninth Festival. .
Passed the exam and entered the official career.
If you fail the exam, well, think of another way.
She has also been working hard on Double Ninth Festival recently.
Gong Yuan even went to the temple to pay homage to Manjushri Bodhisattva and was thinking about whether her husband should make pot and porridge for everyone to eat together on the day of the exam.
Chongyang said repeatedly, "I'm not going to take the first prize exam, so why should I drink the porridge for the first place?"
He refused to drink it.
Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you didn't pass the exam after drinking Jidi porridge?
Although Chongyang was very confident in other things, he was only slightly unconfident in this exam.
On the day of the Double Ninth Festival examination, He Zijin specially cooked and invited everyone to drink together.
He also made some gold medals for the Double Ninth Festival to be worn to bring good fortune.
I was not very nervous during the Double Ninth Festival, but with my aunt being so solemn, I was really nervous before the exam.
Fortunately, Chongyang was also the father of two children after all.
This was not an imperial examination.
He went to Chongyang in the morning and came back in the evening.
Gong Yuan asked him how he did in the exam, and Chongyang said, "Anyway, I got all the answers.
I think he was pretty good."
Gong Yuan was worried because before Dali Temple released the results, she went to Xishan Temple to burn incense, which cost more than fifty taels for the incense oil alone.
Fortunately, Gong Yuan's money for sesame oil was not in vain.
When the admission list of Dali Temple came out, Chongyang was not in the top three, but also in the top five.
She was honored to enter Dali Temple and become a minor official who compiled files.
Although the rank is extremely low, it is the beginning of an official career.
Moreover, the Chongyang couple are not short of money and do not expect to live on a salary.
The main thing is that this step of Chongyang officially brought his family to the threshold of the official family.
Even if Chongyang was not promoted through the imperial examination, it is hard to say that his family was from a scholarly family, but working as an errand in Dali Temple was still very honorable.
Gong Yuan urged her husband to write a letter to her parents-in-law to announce the good news, and sewed new clothes for her husband.
These clothes were the clothes of a junior official in Dali Temple.
There were many good materials in the embroidery, but she did not dare to use them at this time.
In the words of He Zijin Said, "There are many things to pay attention to in the officialdom.
Shangguan wears silk, and those below are best not to wear brocade.
Some people who have no eyesight, Shangguan wears silk."
Although he is hard-working and simple, he prefers to be rich and luxurious.
The superior is very refined, but he prefers to be rough and confused.
Whether such a person can stand up for promotion is a matter of course, although we don't need to flatter the superior.
Don’t be unique.
Just make some good inner clothes for the Chongyang Festival, and just follow the trend of outer clothes.”
While Gong Yuan was sewing clothes for her husband, she asked her godmother, "I heard that my second aunt's father is very famous."
The head of Dali Temple is the biological father of her second aunt Du, which is why Gong Yuan is reassured that her husband is on duty.
One of the reasons.
"Yes, Mr.
Du was born in Qingliu and has an excellent reputation."
He Zijin sent the maid down and said to Gong Yuan, "There is another thing that I also heard from others.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
It is said that Mr.
Du was originally a man during the reign of Emperor Taizong.
Li Shangshu's most popular disciple, Master Du, had all his disciples executed for deceiving the emperor. " Gong Yuan looked surprised.
Although she had some knowledge, she was a little frightened when she heard about the whole family being executed.
He Zijin smiled, "No one who wants to commit such a serious crime would have a chance.
This is also a rumor in the imperial capital.
Because of the Double Ninth Festival, I will go to Dali Temple as an errand, so I just want to mention it to you."
Gong Yuan couldn't help but said, "I don't know much about things in the officialdom, but in a shopping mall, if any owner is unlucky, the assistants and bosses will basically have a hard time."
This is the cleverness of Gong Yuan.
In this world, many people are limited by their origins and may not have innate background and knowledge, but smart people can make analogies.
He Zijin said, "Not everyone will be unlucky, right?"
Gong Yuan was thoughtful, knowing in her heart that this Du Si Qing must be an outstanding person.
Otherwise, although Gong Yuan's husband had never taken the imperial examination, many of her husband's relatives were officials, and Gong Yuan was familiar with the officialdom.
The officialdom pays special attention to the relationship between teachers and students.
Teachers and candidates are simply a natural political alliance.
Like this, all the teachers in the family have been executed, but Du Siqing can still have smooth sailing in the officialdom.
He is definitely not a mortal.
Gong Yuan heard a lot of gossip about Du Siqing before her husband joined the Dali Temple.
Although the gossip was a bit bloody, Gong Yuan still agreed to listen to her husband.
Gong Yuan said, "I think this Master Du is very extraordinary.
You should be more careful in your work."
Chongyang smiled, "Don't worry, I'm just the lowest-ranking official.
I'm still eight hundred miles away from Du Siqing, so I may not be able to see you."
He added, "Who can hold a high position in the imperial capital?
Those who are capable and incompetent have long been squeezed out.”
Seeing that her husband was open-minded, Gong Yuan felt relieved.
The young couple had some private conversations, and Chongyang said, "Since I had my daughter, I have been full of energy."
Gong Yuan was amused, "Other people are full of energy after having a son, but you are the other way around."
"That's wrong."
Chongyang took two sips of warm water and said, "I'm not worried about my son.
He taught me well when he was a child.
If he has the ability in the future, he will naturally have his world.
If he is a coward, no matter how we buy the family property, in the future Even if you close your eyes, you can't block it.
He is not a prodigal.
Girls are different.
No matter how talented a girl is, her marriage depends on her family status these days.
It's not that there are no good men with ordinary family backgrounds, but those good men don't want to marry more outstanding ladies. , I have to work hard to do this.
You can't let your daughter stand out at that time, because we parents have not given our daughters a good background, so they can't marry a good son-in-law.
Then wouldn't this delay the daughter's life?
Besides, I'm not saying that I don't have to ask my daughter to marry well. , but, no matter who you marry At home, if you don’t have the support of your mother’s family, you will inevitably be looked down upon.
How can you do that?
I can’t bear to do it.”
Chongyang looked at the little girl’s sweetly sleeping face and said softly, “Look at how handsome our girl is.
I’ve never seen such a handsome girl.”
Gong Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She coughed lightly and said with a straight face, "Why are these words so familiar to me?
I remember you said them a lot when you were coaxing me."
Chongyang put his arms around his wife's shoulders and smiled, "Our daughter is so handsome, not just because she looks like you.
When I praise my daughter, I praise you."
The young couple chatted and laughed and went to bed early.
He Zijin and A Nian were also very happy when they talked about being admitted to Dali Temple on the Double Ninth Festival.
He said, "It's not in vain to work hard on the Double Ninth Festival.
This kid is not good at writing imperial examination articles.
When it comes to doing practical things, A Ye and the others are not as good as him."
Chongyang is sophisticated and thoughtful.”
Anian said, "I am older than Chongyang.
After years of experience, I am indeed better than Aye and the others in general affairs."
He Zijin smiled, "If we have an errand on Chongyang Festival, Third Sister and Brother Awen can rest assured."
"Yes."
A Nian also feels that he is striving for success in the Double Ninth Festival and knows how to make progress.
The situation at home is good now.
A Nian also hopes that while he is young, he can help his children's future, but the premise is that the children have to Do your best.
It's like Chongyang Festival.
If you go to Dali Temple by yourself and practice for a few years, you will be able to find foreign officials.
The premise is that he must be able to pass the exam.
I have entered Dali Temple on the Double Ninth Festival.
As long as I make progress seriously and get some help and guidance from my family, I will be able to stand on my own in a few years.
Ah Nian watched Chongyang grow up and was also happy for him.
However, the couple had not been happy for a few days when trouble came.
It wasn't that there was anything wrong with Chongyang's job at Dali Temple.
Chongyang had always been a good person, and even though he was new to the job, he had a good relationship with his superiors.
What makes Chongyang a little sad is that his grandparents and uncle's family came to the imperial capital.
The Double Ninth Festival does not mean that I am unfilial, nor does it mean that I don’t want to see my grandparents and uncle’s family.
The key is that the uncle’s way to the imperial capital is not easy to talk about.
Well, Uncle Hu was escorted to the imperial capital.
Speaking of which, Chongyang was already a father, and he didn't have deep memories of his grandparents and uncle's family.
He had followed his parents to the imperial capital since he was a child, and he had been closer to his maternal family over the years.
My grandparents and uncle's family suddenly came to the imperial capital, and I was a little surprised when I first heard about Chongyang.
However, he didn't have much time to express his surprise that his elder suddenly came to the imperial capital.
He had to go to the Ministry of Punishment to deal with it.
Without him, his uncle would have been escorted to the imperial capital for questioning.
My grandparents came with me to get people.
Even if the Jiang He family and the Hu family had never been close to each other, Mr.
Hu and Mrs.
Hu came to the house with Mrs.
Hu and their children to ask for help, so they couldn't stand still.
Chongyang was always clever, so he rented a place nearby and entered a small courtyard.
He first arranged for his grandparents, aunt, and cousins to stay, and then asked the uncle about his affairs in detail.
Chongyang really felt that he had caused trouble to his uncle, and Anian said, "We are all relatives.
Even without you, looking at the face of your father and your great-grandfather, I can't ignore this matter.

However, I don't know the case for a while.
I have to go find out something first, but don't worry.
Even though you will suffer some pain when you go to the Criminal Department, the case has not been tried yet, but your life is not in danger.
I will figure out the case later."
Chongyang responded quickly.
The grandfather of Su Bing, the newly married daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, was Su Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.
However, if it is due to an unjust case, just ask Su Shangshu for advice.
In Uncle Hu's case, it's really hard to say whether he was wronged or not.
Ah Nian doesn't really want to think about it, but he can't ignore it.
A Nian did not go there in person, but asked A Ye to ask Su Erlang to find out what the case was like.
Su Erlang quickly found out and told Aye, "The magistrate of Hu County collected money to judge the case.
The victim stopped the sedan chair of Zuodu Yushi of Yushitai to file a complaint.
The matter was passed to the Ministry of Punishment by Yushitai, and Zuo Shilang personally review, cabinet He also said, "If we look deeper into Zilai's crime of greed for money, I'm afraid it's not just this one crime.
Fortunately, no one was killed in the case of Magistrate Hu.
You can’t protect yourself.”
Ah Ye thanked his second brother-in-law once and went home to talk to his father about the case.
A Nian was not angry after hearing this, and said, "The Hu family is also a family of high-ranking officials.
They are so short of money that they accept bribes.
It really insults Hu Shanchang's character."
Mr.
Hu presided over the establishment of Furong Academy and did many things.
Shan Chang, A Nian still calls him Shan Chang from time to time.
Aye advised his father, "Dad doesn't deserve to be angry because of this matter.
I listen to Brother Erlang and it won't put his life in danger."
"If it comes to life, I'm afraid our family will be helpless."
Anian said, "It's a pity that I have such a character as Mr.
Hu Shan, and that my eldest grandson is like this.
If the old man knows about it, it will be sad."
Seeing that Uncle Hu was not involved in a fatal lawsuit, Ah Nian asked Chongyang to go to the prison to take care of things and send some food, clothing, and blankets, but they didn't have to be too good.
Once the jailer was cleared, Uncle Hu wouldn't suffer too much.
At the same time, Let Chongyang ask Uncle Hu the whole story.
Chongyang sent things to his uncle and inquired about the case, but he found out nothing.
Uncle Hu kept silent, but Chongyang had an idea.
He sat next to his uncle and said, "When I was a child, I often heard my father talking about my uncle.
It's brother The most diligent and motivated people always let us brothers follow the example of my uncle.
No matter what others say, I believe that this matter is unjust because of my uncle's character.
But if my great-grandfather knows about it, I will.
What to do?”
Even though Uncle Hu is a person who practices closed-mouth meditation, he was suddenly moved when he heard these words.
He looked at Chongyang with tears in his eyes.
After a long time, he choked up and said, "This matter must not be known to the grandfather and the old lady.
Both of them are old people."
As I get older, if I get hurt because of my unfilial son, it will be my lifelong sin."
Chongyang looked at his uncle's gray hair on his temples and the tiredness between his brows.
Chongyang couldn't help but feel a little emotional and said, "In that case, if you have any difficulties, just tell your nephew.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
If there is room for maneuver, you can also clear your name." , otherwise, even if the uncle doesn’t think about himself, he should think about his cousins.”
Uncle Hu showed hesitation, but finally shook his head, closed his eyes, and refused to speak any more.
Chongyang tried his best to find out nothing.
He was very angry when he returned home and said, "Uncle, it seems that he has something to hide, but he doesn't want to tell it.
If we don't take advantage of the relationship between our family and the Su family to figure it out, the case Once the sentence is passed, the uncle's career will be over."
Even though he is not close to the uncle's family, as an uncle and nephew, Chongyang still hopes that the uncle's family will be well.
Gong Yuan was attentive after all and said, "Listening to what you said, I also feel that the uncle seems to have some unspeakable difficulties."
Chongyang sighed, "Uncle refuses to say anything, isn't it making people anxious?
Because the uncle's case is not an important one, it can be delayed for a while, but it won't be delayed for long.
He doesn't speak and will wait until the trial begins.
Once the verdict is reached, , it will not be easy to reverse the case.
"Although Chongyang is the first to enter Dali Temple, he has quite a lot of experience.
Gong Yuan said, "Why don't I go to my aunt's place to find out something."
"That's fine."
Gong Yuan went to Grandma Hu to talk.
Unlike Uncle Hu who kept silent, Grandma Hu told the story in just a few words.
Her face was filled with tears before she opened her mouth.
She waited until she wiped away her tears before she spoke.
He said, "My nephew-in-law has never met your uncle.
Chongyang knows about him.
How can he be a person who is greedy for money?
Those of us Even though we are not rich, we, our husband, and our children are not extravagant people.
I am afraid that I will no longer have a place in the family, but I have to say it.
If I hadn't told him what he had done, would I have asked the children to live with the reputation of being the son of a criminal?"
Grandma Hu shed more tears as she spoke.
It was Gong Yuan who persuaded her again and again, but Grandma Hu stopped her tears a little and told what happened.
The matter was not complicated and bizarre, but Gong Yuan was dumbfounded.
Gong Yuan said that Uncle Hu was indeed unfairly accused, and it was not for anyone else.
Uncle Hu did not receive the money, but it was indeed Uncle Hu who judged the case.
But the reason why this case was misjudged is that although Uncle Hu made a mistake, the biggest fault was not Uncle Hu, but Uncle Hu's mother, Mrs.
Hu.
Mrs.
Hu took the family's money and helped the family put in a good word, but Uncle Hu was also a little negligent in judging the case, which resulted in a wrong verdict.
The victim's family refused to give up, so they sued the capital city of God, and Uncle Hu got into the lawsuit.
When Gong Yuan heard the inside story, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
She blamed Uncle Hu for keeping silent.
As a son of a human being, even though she knew her mother was confused, she really had no other choice but to take the blame for her mother.
Otherwise, it would be extremely unfilial if Uncle Hu sued his mother.
Gong Yuan knew that this matter would be difficult to handle, so she calmly persuaded Grandma Hu before getting up and leaving.
Although Gong Yuan found out the inside story, it was not of much help to the case.
Her own mother was the cashier, and it was Uncle Hu who was mistakenly convicted.
After A-Nian found out about this, she scolded Mrs.
Hu in private, saying, "What a prodigal woman.
I don't expect her to help my children and grandchildren, but now she is ruining their future."
He Zijin said, "It's useless to be angry.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
This matter must come to an end.
I'm afraid it's not easy to get along with Su Shangshu."
Anian said, "I can't say whether Su Shangshu is a favoritist or not.
How can I say this?
My relative has committed a crime.
If you give a lighter sentence, how can I open my mouth?
"A-Nian is also a face-conscious person, and asking for help for such a thing, especially between in-laws, is particularly embarrassing.
If A Nian doesn't want to ask for help, he has a way not to ask for help.
His way is to push the case to be heard as soon as possible, especially before the Empress Dowager's Qianqiu Festival.
Another thing is to let Chongyang go find the victim who complained, and he must find a way to get the victim's forgiveness.
The turning point for this matter is that although the case was wrongly decided, fortunately no one was killed in the victim's family.
If the victim is willing to show mercy, he can apologize to others, make material compensation, show affection and show courtesy.
That's easy to talk about.
Ah Nian still went to visit Su's house.
He really couldn't tell him directly, so he told Su Shangshu a story in a roundabout way.
He just told the story of the filial son.
Ah Nian said, "The mother has made mistakes.
How can we not bear the burden for our mother?
Even though this is foolish filial piety, there is nothing we can do about it."
Su Shangshu said, "Otherwise, how can you sweep the world without sweeping one house?
My own mother doesn't understand it, and I can't blame mediocrity and ignorance for deciding the wrong case and ruining my future."
"Yes, my wife often says that poor people must be hateful."
Anian said, "My wife has always been more knowledgeable than me."
Su Shangshu looked at A Nian with a half-smile, but A Nian shamelessly apologized and handed Su Shangshu tea.
Anyway, Su Shangshu had a higher official rank than him, and A Nian was quite capable of being a lowly person.
Naturally, Su Shangshu would not promise anything, and Anian would not ask for it outright without the sense of discernment.
It was not the time to die yet.
Facts also proved that A Nian's arrangement was very reasonable.
First of all, the victim was willing to forgive, and Uncle Hu accepted the confession easily.
Because the Empress Dowager was approaching the end of her life, the matter finally ended with Uncle Hu's dismissal from office, and no further investigation was carried out.
Everyone in the Hu family was chanting Buddha's name, but Mrs.
Hu muttered, "Since the Jiang family is related to Su Shangshu family, how can they dismiss our elder brother from his official position?
This matter to him is unjust."
Before he finished speaking, Mrs.
Hu The master slapped his mouth.
Mrs.
Hu was stunned for a moment, then she rushed over and started to fight with Mr.
Hu.
After Chongyang and Gong Yuan returned home, they said very earnestly, "Even if your son is to be a bachelor from now on, he cannot marry a fool."
