Yan Manor.
Yan Nian stood in front of Yan Song." Master, we've already investigated. The person who scolded you at the beginning is Huang Zihua. He's from Huguang. His teacher is from the Qi Party. As for the two behind him, one was Xu Wei, from Zhejiang. He had failed several provincial examinations and was participating in the general examination this time. There is also one called Zhu Dashou, from Lizhu, Shaoxing. However, he has failed many times in the general exams, but it is rumored that he is very hardworking…"
Yan Song laughed." You're indeed brothers in distress. You failed many times, but you have a pragmatic style. Not bad."”
Eh, something was wrong!
Yan Song remembered. Wasn't Zhu Dashou the top scorer of the court examinations? He was very famous in history and was a talent. This time, Yan Song also thought of Xu Wei. His entire life had been a tragedy. He was a close friend of Zhu Dasou, but his journey had been bumpy. In the end, when he died of grief and indignation, only an old dog accompanied him. However, he was also a man of action. His performance in fighting against the pirates was outstanding.
Yan Song thought about it and said to Yan Nian,"Take care of these two."”
Just because these two people could recognize him, he should give them a chance.
"Yes, Master." Yan Nian: " By the way, that Huang Zihua actually dared to criticize Master. Should we teach him a lesson?"”
"Teach him a lesson."”
On the second day, positive rumors about Xu Wei and Zhu Dashou began to spread in the capital. The two of them became more famous among scholars, and soon many groups invited them for gatherings.
As for Huang Zihua, there were many negative rumors about him being unfilial, seducing his brother and sister-in-law, and so on. All of a sudden, the high-spirited Huang Zihua fell off the cliff. For a time, the groups that invited him rejected him and avoided him as much as possible.
Because there were still three months before the general exams, no one thought that this was related to the general exams, let alone guessing that it was Yan Song who did it.
His lackey Yan Nian was indeed very talented in these schemes and plots. Ever since he grasped the true essence of the fishing wheel, he had gone out of control. Now, he killed people without bloodshed.
……
……
In the sound of firecrackers, the year ended, and the spring breeze sent warmth into Tusu.
Every day, thousands of families will exchange new peaches for old talismans.
Time flew by.
Unknowingly, it was New Year's Eve.
Chinese New Year's Eve was a traditional reunion day in China.
At this moment, the Yan Residence was bustling with joy. Couplets were pasted, red lanterns were hung, paper cuts were made, firecrackers were set off, and laughter was heard. It was busy and lively. Whether it was servants or maids, everyone had smiles on their faces.
"This is the first New Year's Eve in this world.”
Yan Song couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the joyful faces of the servants and maids outside the courtyard.
At this moment, Liu Ru walked in with a fragrant breeze.""Master, it's ready. We're waiting for you.”
Yan Song held Liu Rushi's hand and walked out.
Ever since the last time at Dajue Zen Temple, Liu Ru no longer resisted Yan Song as much. In the end, she slowly became a little woman and began to be gentle and considerate to Yan Song. Yan Song tried to let her manage the internal affairs of the Yan residence. As a result, she was indeed a talented woman. She actually managed all the affairs of the Yan residence in an orderly manner.
As soon as Yan Song appeared, the servants lined up and shouted in unison,"Old Master, the Spring Festival is auspicious and blessed.”
Yan Song laughed." Good, good. Come, I'll give you some silver."”
The 'New Year Red Envelope' had existed since ancient times to bring good luck. Yan Song wasn't the same Yan Song from before. The current Yan Song didn't care much about silver, so he rewarded everyone with a few taels of silver, which was equivalent to their monthly salary.
"Thank you, Master!" One by one, they shouted excitedly.
Not long after, his lackey Yan Nian returned with three letters. One was from the clan elder in Jiangxi, one was from Feng Ji, and the last was from Qiao Zhiyong.
The clan elder said that things had been going smoothly recently, and Yan Song's parents were healthy now, so there was no need to worry. Yan Song was currently in a high position. If his parents passed away, there would be worries.
The so-called mourning was when an official of the imperial court, regardless of his or her position, had to resign from office and return to his or her ancestral home for twenty-seven months if his or her parents passed away. This was called mourning.
After leaving the court for 27 months, the other officials would definitely take advantage of the situation to take over. At that time, it would be very difficult for them to return to power.
Of course, Ding You also had a solution, which was to seize love. The most typical one was Zhang Juzheng, an extremely famous powerful official in the history of the Ming Dynasty. When his father passed away, Zhang Juzheng had just taken over the power, and the various reforms had just begun. Neither he nor the emperor wanted him to worry. Thus, he withstood the pressure of the entire imperial court and forcefully seized the favor.
However, the aftermath of the loss of love was also very terrifying. When the emperor grew up, he did not want Zhang Juzheng anymore. He made an issue of the loss of love and confiscated the deceased Zhang Juzheng's family and exiled his descendants. In a dynasty where filial piety ruled the world, no one could refute the emperor's actions.
Therefore, the parents of a high official could not die so easily. If they died, it might really cause a high official to decline.
In the second letter, Feng Ji analyzed the situation in Jiangxi. It was getting worse and worse. Fortunately, under the joint efforts of him, Qiao Zhiyong, and the Yan Clan, not only did Fenyi County not fall, but it also took the opportunity to grow stronger.
Qiao Zhiyong's letter expressed his great shock at the concrete technology and said that he could definitely earn a steady stream of silver from it in the future, establish a large commercial firm, and control Jiangxi's economy.
