Unofficial History of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty

Jiang Bin dreams of someone sitting next to him in a trance, and when he wakes up the next day, he feels it is a dream again.Wang Xun came to say goodbye early in the morning, and handed him a cloth bag, which contained a jacquard robe made by Qiu Ying himself.Holding it in his hands, Jiang Bin felt sore eyes: "Why didn't you take it out earlier?"

Wang Xun breathed out his nose: "Sister-in-law will do the fine work for you alone."

Jiang Bin smiled, gently caressing the fine jacquard material, and then wrapped the cloth covering layer by layer.At this time, Wang Xun handed over a small box, which contained several jars of copper coins.Jiang Bin frowned, but Wang Xun pushed him into his arms: "Save your money to help Qiao Shangshu in the future, use these first!"

"What's the point?"

"Silver is so inconvenient, just return it to me in the future."

Only then did Jiang Bin accept it. When he left, he didn't touch the small treasury of the Leopard House, and he didn't have time to go to the raw medicine shop to withdraw cash, so he only asked Zhang Zhong to use the 30 taels of silver that Yang Tinghe had returned to him hidden in the raw medicine shop. , this box is disturbing to look at.

Qiao Yu was waiting for Wang Xun outside. The horse had already been led out, and he snorted excitedly when he saw Wang Xun.Wang Xun took the reins, and said to Jiang Bin: "Farewell but no wine and no poems, Mr. Jiang really doesn't understand Fengya."

After hearing this, Jiang Bin folded a section of willow branch in front of the door with a "click" and handed it over. Wang Xun was poked until his nose itch and sneezed, and then he gave up.

After getting on the horse, Wang Xun turned his head and showed a pair of canine teeth: "Xin'er draws lots if you are free, come here! The title of 'godfather' is reserved for you."

"This book is mine." Jiang Bin raised his hands mercilessly.

Wang Xun smiled, clipped the horse's belly and left.

Jiang Bin stood for a while, Qiao Yu asked him if he wanted to go to the Governor's Mansion, Jiang Bin shook his head, and Qiao Yu left by himself.

Jiang Bin was bored in the mansion, so he went to the vegetable garden. At this time, some of the eggplants were still blooming with small yellow flowers, while others had already formed a finger-length small eggplant, which was cute and cute.On weekdays, Manager Hu takes care of this vegetable field, but Qiao Shang also takes care of it himself from time to time.

Jiang Bin was leaning over to watch, when Manager Hu happened to pass by, Jiang Bin asked him something, and while talking, Manager Hu suddenly said: "Master's monthly salary is 61 shi, the old lady and the old lady don't want to come and live here with the master. So save some money to honor the elders."

This was said in a flat tone, but Jiang Bin could hear the meaning in the words.Qiao Yu's parents who had relocated in Jiangxi needed him to support them, and most of the meager salaries they received were treasures that could not be cashed in. But Jiang Bin thought that Qiao Yu should have other ways to make money like other officials , but now it sounds like it really is just enough to make ends meet.

"Wang Shangshu and the master are Guan Bao's friends. We were originally servants in his house, and we were ordered to serve the master here." Guanshi Hu added.

Qiao Yu was able to take this position in Nanjing because of Wang Qiong's protection, and Wang Qiong was a cronies of Emperor Zhengde temporarily placed in Nanjing, and he was only waiting for one day to transfer him to the capital to conspire with state affairs.It is conceivable that the stewards, nurses, servants, and cooks assigned by Wang Qiong to Qiao Yu must be the monthly money given by Wang Qiong. Qiao Shangshu can retain people's hearts regardless of whether he is full of food.

Seeing Jiang Bin's pensive look, Manager Hu raised his tone a little higher: "At the beginning, the master was afraid that Mr. Jiang would not be used to it, so he asked a carpenter to order a canopy bed. Just like that, Mr. Jiang still said he couldn't sleep. Practical..."

Hearing the accusation in the words, Jiang Bin became embarrassed for a while, but he didn't expect that the inadvertent sentence fell into the ears of others, and he became ignorant of good and evil.

Heartbroken, I went out for a walk.But Jiang Bin couldn't figure it out, why did Qiao Yu treat him like this?Could it be entrusted by others?Thinking all the way like this, he walked to the Ministry of War without knowing it. At this time, Qiao Yu was still at work. If he wanted to see him, he had to wait until sunset.

Jiang Bin decided to go elsewhere, but just as he took a step, he saw a person coming out of the side door, it was Qiao Yu himself.

Qiao Yu's expression was serious, and his steps were hasty again. Jiang Bin thought about it, but still followed.Qiao Yu walked around for a long time before stopping in front of a house with several acres of farmland.After the steward's report, Qiao Yu was invited in.Jiang Bin found a shade tree outside and waited for the rabbit.

After a cup of tea, the door opened, and the man who saw him out was a sixtieth year old man with a straight back.Only those eyebrows and eyes are very similar to a person.

Jiang Bin detoured back and asked the surrounding people in the name of begging for a bowl of water, only to learn that the man who lived in that house was Wang Hua, the father of Wang Shouren who had met once.The last time Emperor Zhengde summoned him, Wang Shouren stopped by to visit his father who was retiring in Nanjing.But Jiang Bin couldn't figure out what kind of relationship Qiao Yu and Wang Hua would have.

Be it Zhengde or Qiao Yu, they all kept it from him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Bin felt a little uncomfortable.After returning to Qiao Yu's mansion, he sat in the courtyard and looked at the shriveled koi in the pond.

Qiao Yu didn't come back until it was getting dark, his expression was as usual, and he couldn't see the slightest clue.

After the meal, Jiang Bin rinsed his mouth and said, "Jiang has been bothering me for a long time, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient..."

Qiao Yu remained silent and just looked at Jiang Bin.

After the stick of incense burned out, Wang Wei, who was full of food and drink, rubbed the slender dragonfly legs of the three-legged round incense table, and fell asleep at Jiang Bin's feet, but the two still looked at each other across the table.

"In a few days it will be Zhongqiu..." Qiao Yu finally spoke first.

Jiang Bin thought that Qiao Yu was going back to his hometown, and wanted to entrust him to take care of the mansion, so he hurriedly replied, "Qiao Shangshu, don't worry, just go."

Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and Fang carefully said: "Qiao has informed His Majesty, and will invite Mr. Jiang to Leping tomorrow..."
