You should not be too arrogant.Does Zhang Ning from Shangyuan County know?Yes, it was just a public threat that this year's autumn examination, he was the only one who was the best in the world, and he was arrogant and the best in literature. What was the result!
As soon as a middle-aged man with a big belly and round face sat down, he said to the two tea guests sitting in the same seat with a smile. He sighed as if he was regretful, but there was a scent of gloating in his tone.
What's going on, what's going on?A young man in silk next to him asked a little anxiously.
The young man who spoke and the newly-comfortable man wore silk and the other clothed clothes, but it did not indicate the difference between the rich and the poor, but because the young man had fame and the big-beared man did not.
It was the 21st year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty. The law that Taizu ordered that common people could not wear silk and satin was still in effect. Moreover, this was in Nanjing, which was the capital of the Ming Dynasty not long ago. People did not dare to do anything that was randomly ruthless, especially in public places.
The big-bellied man who had just arrived was about to tell the story, but unexpectedly, a pounding instrument suddenly sounded on the stage downstairs, and he suddenly pressed his words back.
At this time, a sing came up and said: The autumn lantern is bright and the green curtain is bright, and the night table is clear.From time to time, there are so many stories in the past.There are very few beautiful men and talented men, and there are also gods and monsters, which are trivial.It is just that it doesn’t matter whether it’s weathered, even if it’s good, it’s in vain.When it comes to legends, it is easy to enjoy people but difficult to move people.A gentleman who is a soulmate, look at it differently.Don’t talk about jokes, don’t look for the palace several times, just look at the filial son and the wise wife…
The next lyrics were matched with erhu, and the sound was not as harsh as the beat music, so the big-bellied man continued to say: What's wrong?Yesterday I happened to see with my own eyes that his uncle Zhang Jiujin took him back with someone, and he carried him back.Yes, Zhang Jiujin, a person who is engaged in Yunjin business, took his nephew out of the yamen and carried him back. It seems that he is... Where is the prison? Can you avoid being punished after you go in?Zhang Ning is another scholar who has no power to study. I heard that he is dying at home and is waiting for that breath.
The young man said curiously: Brother Chen is in the silk business and seems to have some contact with the Zhang family Yunjin Shop. I guess he knows something about it.I only heard that Zhang Ping'an was imprisoned because he bribed the examiner before the provincial examination. Is there any more detailed information?
Ma Maocai took the exam in the same tribute school as Zhang Ning, so you don’t know anything about this?The big-bellied man asked back.
The young man in the satin robe shook his head and said: Although he was taking the exam at the Nanjing Gongyuan, I am a student in Jiangning County, and Zhang Ping'an belongs to the county school of Shangyuan County. He usually has almost no contacts, but he has only met a few times. He really knows very little about this matter.
After hearing this, the big-bellied man called Brother Chen waved his hand mysteriously. After the two of them moved down and came over, he whispered in a low voice: Who is the chief examiner?Lord Lu Zhen, Lord Lu, is the Minister of Rites from Beijing.After all, Nanjing is an important place, and the examiner of the provincial examination is also a powerful court minister. But now he is suspected of fraud in the imperial examination and was taken to the imperial prison of the Jinyiwei in the vassal department by the Jinyiwei. The examiner Zhang Ning bribed was Lord Lu.I heard that after the incident, someone revealed that Zhang Ning was arrogant and would win the Jieyuan before the exam was started. I think that there are many talents in the Feng Shui area on both sides of the Qinhuai River. Every time there are many scholars participating in the autumn examination in Zi, Wu, Mao and You, and countless people with real talents and knowledge are also numerous. If you can be on the list, you have to look at the ancestral tomb. Zhang Ning dared to threaten publicly and would win the first place when he participated in the autumn examination for the first time. Where did he get the confidence?So the government took him into the first trial. Sure enough, there was a reason for the matter and everything was caused.After a while, the court remembered that he had been exempted from death for the first time, and was dismissed from fame and fortune and never hired and sent home.
That's all about this news?The young man in the satin robe looked a little disappointed, but didn’t you hear that someone exposed it?
The big-bellied man was not very happy: Who can know about ordinary people?I thought Ma Mao was the one in the imperial examination and would have more news about such things.
Since the Minister of Rites has been in the imperial prison, why did Zhang Ning release it so quickly... When the young man in satin robe suddenly picked up a teacup and stopped.
The big-bellied man said casually: Just one last breath left. The Zhang family is preparing for the funeral. It is almost the same as if they were not killed.
……
Nanjing City is not as square as many cities in the north, but looks like an inverted convex character. The city belongs to Shangyuan and Jiangning counties. Except for the raised part on the south side of the inverted convex character, the other areas belong to Shangyuan County, and the dividing line is Dazhong Street.
The Qinhuai River flows southward along the west wall outside the city, and water is divided at Sanshan Gate, and one of them flows into the city; most of this section of Qinhuai River is in Jiangning County, and it converges with Qingxi, the canal from the north, near Tongji Gate in the southeast of the city, and passes through the city wall and exits the city.
There is a bridge called Dazhong Bridge on Qingxi next to Tongji Gate, and to the north of Dazhong Bridge is Liren Street.
This is one of the concentration places for merchants operating daily necessities business, such as Dazhongqiao, Beimenqiao, and Sanpailou, all commercial areas.
Zhang Ning's home, who had just been picked up from prison, was in an alley on Liren Street.
The Zhang family obviously worked in business, but their household registration was a farmer, because there was no such thing as business registration in the Ming Dynasty.
Some systems of the Ming Dynasty were really contradictory. Taizu hated those who were idle and did not do production, and in his opinion, merchants were not a producer, so there was no business record. However, it was impossible for civilized society to lack merchants, and businessmen had their own countermeasures. Through various methods, people with some assets were registered as farmers, craftsmen, military and other households. The most common way for people with some assets was to buy farmland in the village, and they insisted that they were mainly engaged in land rent, and then turned into agricultural households.
In this era, except for the officials and the most innocent and noblest farming in name, everyone has to eat.
Zhang Ning's father was two brothers. His father was Zhang Jiuyin and his uncle was Zhang Jiujin, and he ran the Yunjin business together.
Zhang Ning's father passed away early, and his mother also went there a few years ago, and the two siblings in the family lived with their uncle.
Yunjinpu has the share of assets left by Zhang Jiuyin to them, and there are several acres of land in the countryside to collect rent, which is considered a small industry. However, Zhang Ning is a businessman and does not do business and production at all. All assets and real estate are managed by his uncle and live in his uncle's house. He originally had a livelihood.
Zhang Ning lost his father in his early years, and his uncle Zhang Jiujin was almost equivalent to his father. He was even called Erlang at home because Zhang Jiujin had an only son who was Dalang. However, the two brothers were still very different in Zhang Jiujin's eyes, not because Zhang Ning was his nephew, but the most important thing is that Zhang Ning used to be a baby, and his blood relationship was separated by a layer.
Zhang Jiujin's brows have never been stretched these days, and she sighed as soon as she lifted her chopsticks during dinner.A few days ago, his nephew was still in prison, and now he was more helpless.
Looking back at the dinner table, there were five young and old. In the past, seven people often had dinner together. Zhang Jiujin asked with a face and said, "Where is Zhang Xiaomei, do you still have to invite someone to eat?"
I just called her and said I didn't want to eat it. I was soaking rice soup in Erlang's mouth in the room.Zhang Dalang's wife Luo Yue'e answered while carrying the six or seven-year-old girl to the stool.
The middle-aged woman next to her said: Go and call her again and persuade her.This child got up and cried a few times yesterday, how could he give birth to no food?
Zhang Jiujin said angrily: Let her, don’t go!
He is the head of the family. When everyone saw him angry, they didn't dare to confront him in person for a moment and fell silent. The little girl, who was only six or seven years old, pulled her mother's sleeve: I want to eat steamed eggs, my mother scoops it for me.
Zhang Jiujin's son Zhang Shicai spoke at this time and broke his silence: When I was on the shop, did the Wang family come and give up the gift?
Fifty taels of silver were refunded.
The middle-aged woman said that she was Zhang Shicai's mother Zou.
Zhang Shicai couldn't help but mutter: Erlang was dismissed from fame. Their family had long wanted to regret the marriage but were afraid that people would be snobbish. Yesterday, I heard the doctor say that Erlang was not good, and I was afraid that he was secretly happy, and there was a reason to regret the marriage.
Zhang Jiujin immediately put the chopsticks heavily, turned around and stared at his son and said: Why are you talking? Are you afraid that you can't offend others?
Zhang Shicai hurriedly said: Isn’t this at home? Can I still go out and be careless...
Zou's spouse said: You can't say that to others at home.The Wang family is a wealthy family with great reputation. If they don’t break off the engagement now, when Erlang has a few shortcomings, what reputation will you give to his daughter who has not yet been married?
Yes, can’t you know you’re wrong?Zhang Shicai buried his head with a dark face.
Zou said again: But Erlang, how could he bribe the examiner? This is obviously an unjust case!Erlang usually turned a blind eye to the matter outside the window and just focused on studying. Not to mention bribing officials from the capital, he didn't even recognize them.
Zhang Jiujin said: Who told him not to know the greatness of the world and cause trouble!
At this time, the old couple did not blame Zhang Shicai, and Zhang Shicai said again: I heard about the news from the county clerk. Lord Lu, who was involved in the fraud case in the imperial examination, went to the imperial prison in Beijing.It was said that his etiquette was wrong when he went to court. As a result, the prince of the supervisor did not blame him because Lord Lu was the minister of the Ministry of Rites. Someone reported this matter secretly to the emperor. The emperor Long Yan was furious and imprisoned Lu Zhen in the imperial prison. Later, he was relieved and felt that it was not a big deal, so he released him and restored his post.Father, do you think that Lord Lu is involved in the crime fraud case again this time. Is it related to this matter and he was plotted against by someone who did not like him?
Zhang Jiujin said nothing, and Zou said in confusion: The emperor has also taken care of his son too seriously.
Mother, don’t you know, how can the emperor’s family be the same as our people’s family?The son of the common people would be scolded if he did something wrong; if the prince did something wrong, the unlucky one was the official around the prince. There were few officials who were killed and imprisoned in the imperial prison in recent years? Who doesn’t know how the famous talented man Xie Jin died in Nanjing, and he said he had met the prince privately.It's just that everyone dare not talk outside.
Zhang Shicai said politely.
But everything they said was in vain. The emperor, prince, court officials, etc. were too far away from the people of the Zhang family.
As soon as a middle-aged man with a big belly and round face sat down, he said to the two tea guests sitting in the same seat with a smile. He sighed as if he was regretful, but there was a scent of gloating in his tone.
What's going on, what's going on?A young man in silk next to him asked a little anxiously.
