073 The gaffe Zhang Juzheng

As the chief of the Censorate, you must naturally be clean and at least you cannot give someone a handle on your face.

Zhao Jin has never accepted the banquet, and he has already sent someone to inform County Magistrate Xu. After the competition ended, everyone sent Zhao Jin onto the carriage. After the censor left, everyone dispersed.

Yu Jin hung the jade pendant given by Zhao Jin and sat on Ma Ning's carriage with a spring breeze on his face.

Ma Ning first asked questions in a very gossip, asked a lot of questions, and borrowed the jade pendant to observe for most of the day. Finally, Yiyi returned the jade pendant to Yu Jin in a bad mood, and said with a look of anger: "Brother Yu, how do you thank me? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been appreciated by Lord Zhao today, and you wouldn't have gotten this top-quality jade pendant."

"Brother Ma, how do you want to thank me?"

In fact, if Ma Ning hadn't pulled himself into the carriage, he wouldn't have been able to hold on to his thick leg today. Besides, this guy was still standing up for him at the party, and Yu Jin also had a good impression of him.

Ma Ning glanced at Yu Jin, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't let you spend money. Just give me a good meal."

"No," Yu Jin shook his head and said, "What Yu eats is different from what you eat. Brother Ma has to be hungry for a meal for a month. It's not cost-effective and can't afford it."

"If you don't pick on it, don't pick on it, what Brother Yu eats, and what I can eat."

"real?"

Ma Ning said seriously: "Of course, I have never been picky about food."

Han Yi used to say something about this young master, and then went to Ma, and now he calls himself a younger brother. The wind is moving fast. It seems that after being praised by Zhao Jin like that, his status has also increased.

Yu Jin nodded, took out two cents from his arms and stuffed them into Ma Ning's hand, and said calmly: "Everyone is very busy, I'll discount you, so I'll buy it myself."

"What? Two cents?" Ma Ning widened his eyes and looked at the two cents in his hand, almost falling down his eyes and screamed in a burst of voice.

Even if you give begging, it’s not just this little money. Ma Ning’s smallest amount of money is also Yindouzi.

Yu Jin said seriously: "Young Master Ma, what you just said, you can eat whatever I eat. Yu came to eat a sesame cake, Hu Ji sesame cake on the east end of the street, two cents a day, and the only one is not deceived."

Well, I was defeated by this stingy guy again, and Ma Ning said with anger: "No, I want to eat the sesame cake with meat filling, it costs six cents each."

This guy seemed to be worse than himself. Yu Jin laughed and patted his shoulder and said, "Just, let's go, Zuixianlou, let you eat with your stomach open."

"Okay, this is what you said," Ma Ning said with a hurry: "I have to be poor this time."

Ma Ning had long wanted to have a good meal for Yu Jin. Recently, he bought poetry, mirrors, and treats. His pocket money was almost the same as Yu Jin, and the rich young masters also had times when they were tight.

Yu Jin invited Ma Ning, who was hit, to have a big meal. After drinking and eating, he went to see the furniture he customized first. He found that the furniture was better than he thought. The wood was carefully selected and the handicraft was perfect. In the words of the old carpenter, Yu Jin was a scholar. It would be very good to come to his shop to do furniture. Besides, the money was given to him. If he didn't care, he would insult his skills.

Well, this is an era of integrity. Craftsmen rely on their careful management. They are definitely not as colorful as those bad businessmen in later generations. Yu Jin was overjoyed and placed a few new orders.

Since it is done, then do it well at once.

After reading the customized furniture, Yu Jin looked at the time and turned to the vegetable market in the east of the city. Of course, going to the vegetable market was not to buy vegetables, but to the agreed time for the joints.

This time, the person who was connected was no longer Deng Yong, but a honest and honest vegetable seller, the kind that he could not find if he was thrown into the crowd. I guess no one would have thought that this old man who seemed harmless was actually a spy of the Jinyiwei. It seems that Deng Yong was not so interested at all times. He was about to be busy with the Chinese New Year.

The handover process went smoothly. Yu Jin submitted a routine monthly report and then received twenty taels of silver.

Five taels are monthly money, and the rest is the benefits for the New Year.

It's equivalent to getting four wages, which is really great. Although the money is not much, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat. Yu Jin naturally won't dislike them and uses the money to buy New Year's goods with a smile.

A few years ago, due to family problems, the Chinese New Year was very simple. Now that the conditions are good, Yu Jin will naturally not be ruthless. In order to compensate for his mistakes, he bought a large number of New Year goods, and even a lot of firecrackers were set off during the Chinese New Year. At that time, his brave sister Yu had enough fun, including melons, fruits, meat, cakes, etc., and when they were about to pick up more than a dozen silks and satin to buy new clothes for the whole family.

Because I bought too many things, I had to hire a large cart to pull it, and a full car of New Year's goods. When I took it home, Yu Lin and Yu Yu were both smiling, especially Xiao Yu, who were very active in helping to move things.

Finally, I can have a fat New Year.

Yu Lin looked at his children and then at the mountains of New Year's goods, and couldn't stop smiling.

The son becomes sensible. The most important thing is to become motivated, responsible, and able to support the family. The daughter is well-behaved and obedient, and redeems the sold old house. The fields are also being discussed. The progress is pretty good. Now it can be said that everything goes well and everything goes well. How can you be unhappy?

Well, if my son can marry a virtuous wife and have another fat and fat boy to spread the branches and leaves for the Yu family, then he would be satisfied.

Yu Lin was happy and laughed so happily that he couldn't stop. But someone was happier than him, and he jumped and said low howls like wolves from time to time. However, this person was not in Yuyao, but in the capital thousands of miles away.

This person who was so excited that he was out of control was called Uncle Zhang. Uncle Zhang was his name and his full name was Zhang Juzheng.

Jiajing passed the Jinshi exam in 26 years. Zhang Juzheng, who had been in the officialdom for more than ten years, had already developed a strong, compassionate and forbearance. The reason why he was so out of control was that he was promoted.

The official position was not much promoted, from Youchunfang Youzhongyun to Youchunfang Youyude. In terms of official position, he was only half a level. He served as Youchunfang Youzhongyun since the 39th year of Jiajing, and only half a level was promoted in four years. But this half level was a great opportunity for Zhang Juzheng, because his work changed from handling documents to the lecturer of King Yu, that is, the teacher of King Yu Zhu Zai'an.

Jiajing had no prosperous descendants throughout his life. This emperor who loves to refine alchemy did not make many children and grandchildren. On the contrary, his son either died prematurely or died early, and in the end he was the only one who was left with King Yu Zhu Zai'an. Although King Yu Zhu Zai'an has not yet been named King Yu Zhu Zai'an as the crown prince, everyone knows that King Yu was the only heir to the Ming Empire.

Because there is no second candidate at all.

This is the future imperial teacher. Can Zhang Juzheng be unhappy?

As long as he has a good life experience with King Yu, he can see his talents and learn from him. Once the new emperor succeeds to the throne, he will be a complete imperial teacher and will rise to the top.

"Okay, it's so good, it's so good," Zhang Juzheng clenched his fists and murmured to himself.

As long as you seize this opportunity, then the grand ambition in your heart will have the opportunity to display it.

Zhang Juzheng couldn't sit still, and walked around the hall. After a while, he shouted loudly: "Come."

"Master" a servant appeared respectfully in front of Zhang Juzheng.

"Prepare your horse and prepare to go to Xu Mansion." Zhang Juzheng said firmly.

Although a small Youyude only has a fifth-grade rank, but there are countless people who are eyeing it. Zhang Juzheng knew that he was lucky enough to be promoted to this position, which was recommended by his mentor Xu Jie.

There is an old saying that women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and men are in the wrong profession. For officials, the most fear is that they are holding the wrong thigh and standing in the wrong team. Zhang Juzheng has good luck and has become the master of the powerful Xu Jie.

The fate of master and apprentice starts from the 26th year of Jiajing. At that time, 23-year-old Zhang Juzheng won the ninth Jinshi in the second grade and was awarded the title of Shujishi. At that time, there was Xu Jie, an important minister of the cabinet in the teaching.

I have to say that Zhang Juzheng was lucky. When he was born, his great-grandfather dreamed of a white turtle floating from the water. This was auspicious sign and it was also the origin of Zhang Juzheng's first name. First, he was renamed by Li Shiao, the prefect of Jingzhou, and asked him to be a student of the Bufu Mansion. A year later, he received special care from Gu Zi, the governor of Huguang. He was the post-Jinshi and accidentally became the most promising Xu Jie as his teacher.

Comparing people with others will make people angry.

He was lucky and talented, but Zhang Juzheng knew that he was still a trivial little person and needed Xu Jie's escort. Therefore, the first thing he did after the promotion was to ask his mentor Xu Jie for advice.

This also means gratitude.
