Chapter 245 Marriage of Clans

Wang Bian and Yuan Zebai met his parents. Wang Anshi asked Zhao Bo to settle down for Wang's party. Wang Bian knew that Zhao Bo was the housekeeper of the house. Wang knew that although his family had been bad luck in the past two years, first of all, Wang Anshi's officialdom was not satisfactory. He wanted to work for the people, but he was just an idle job in the capital. Wang Anshi resigned from the office. The ambition could not be carried out. The second is that An Shi's mother died, so she resigned and returned to his hometown. In the past two years, Wang's life has been away for many years. The emperor's life can't even return to the Song Dynasty. Now the family reunion is sad and happy. Naturally, there is a lot to say,

I heard that Wang's side also resigned. Wang Anshi felt very good. Although he was not in the capital, he also knew that officials in the court had been frequently mobilized recently, especially a reckless boy like Wang's resignation, which made him calm down and study deeply, which was not a good thing.

Wang Anshi nodded and said, "That is, he resigned and happened to study with Yuan Ze at home."

"Father, although the child has resigned, he can't live in Linchuan for a long time. He was entrusted by Zeng Xiang in the previous period, and there was an imperial edict. The child has to go to the south."

Wang Anshi frowned slightly. The second son really couldn't settle down, but he turned to think about it. Now that the two children are still young. Since they are still working for the court, it seems that the official career can't be broken in the future. However, the father and son have just met, and it is inevitable that they are a little reluctant: "Well, as soon as they get home, are you going to leave?"

Wang saw the expressions of his father and mother and guessed what Wang Anshi thought: "I didn't start until after the Spring Year."

"That's good, that's good." Wang Anshi immediately turned his worries into joy. Wang Anshi wanted to ask something more. His wife was considerate of the hard work on the road for the two children, so she reminded Wang Anshi: Since the two children came back together, if they don't have to stay for a few more days, it's better to let them have a rest first, and then go to visit their fellow uncles,

This is also reasonable. After all, Wang Anshi's family is a big family in Linchuan. The two brothers said goodbye to their parents and went out of the study.

Yuan Ze walked in front of him, followed by Wang. The two went downstairs to the second courtyard. Yuan Ze stood still and looked at Wang with a seemingly faint smile.

Seeing the smiling expression on Yuan Ze's face, Wang couldn't help asking, "Brother, what are you laughing at?"

"Laugh at you, now I won't leave. It depends on whether you can find your own room?"

This is really a little difficult for Wang: "Okay, brother, let alone looking for a room, just say that it's all about killing me to let us visit relatives and friends." Wang side scratched his head and said,

Yuan Ze smiled and patted Wang's side: "Don't worry. Although you don't know them, they have heard of you. Your name has spread all over your hometown for a long time. Our father thinks you are the pride of our Wang's family. I'll take you to see them one by one. It's estimated that it will take four or five days."

" OK, that's Ming's thing. Today, you can tell me which one is my room."

"There is no room in this courtyard at all. Let's go. I'll take you there." Yuan Ze said, took the king through the corridor and went out of Wang'an Shifu. Behind Wang'an Shifu, there was also a house. The house was not big, but it was very quiet.

Wang's side couldn't help feeling that he only lived in isolation in such a yard when he was a child. Of course, he did not blame Wang Anshi at all: "It's very quiet here, but it's so close to my father's house. Didn't anyone ask who lived here?"

Wang looked at the house and said with infinite emotion: "This used to be my grandmother's residence. After my grandfather's first wife passed away, I took my grandmother to the front house. My father was not my grandfather's eldest son, and my two uncles were An Ren. Although An Dao was not born to my grandmother, my grandmother was regarded as her own after passing the house. Now he They are also officials in the Jiangnan generation. This house has been vacant until you and I are born.

The king silently counted this in his heart. Now there are two uncles, plus Wang Anshi's own brothers, Anguo and Anli. How can Yuanze say that he will visit for two or three days?

The two talked and entered the house. The people in the king's house were all here. It turned out that the wife was thoughtful. Seeing that the king also brought his family, it was naturally convenient to act in this house.

The second Yuanze took Wang's side to visit everywhere. This visit to Wang's side learned what a big family was. Wang Anshi's grandfather had five sons, and Wang Anshi's generation was even more luxuriant. These uncles and uncles visited from house to door. No wonder Yuanze bought a full car of gifts in the capital. These people have already recognized the king. I was dizzy and finally finished the visit. Wang just breathed a sigh of relief, but listened. These are not over, and several other families are also going to visit,

These families are even more different. They are actually Wang Anshi's ancestral family. Wang Anshi and his grandfather's brother Wu Min have four sons. The eldest son, Wu Rui, is the secretary Cheng, and he is the father of Mrs. Wang Anshi. Moreover, Wu Min's wife is the sister of Zeng Gong Zengbu's grandfather. Wang's listening is already a big head. How can Wang's father? Wang Anshi and his mother Wu are a little related by blood, but Wang finally knows why he was born with dementia,

The ancients really didn't know the harm of close relatives' marriage,

Originally, the Wu family was also a big family in Linchuan Jinxi. Wang Anshi married Wu Rui's daughter Wu as his wife. The two families of the King of Wu have been married for generations, and it was rumored to be a beautiful talk in Linchuan.

This is not to mention that Wang Anshi's three sisters married Zhang Kui, Zhu Mingzhi and Shen Jichang, who were well-rounded and talented. Wang Anguo married Zeng Bu's sister, and Wang Anli married Xie Jiang's daughter. Now Wang knows that his sister is married to Wu Chong's son. Wu Anzhi is also a court official and an official. Is this capital water envoy? It is to deliver water. This is the government's special management of irrigation and maintenance of canals. The Sui, Tang and Song Dynasties took the envoys of the capital water as the chief of the capital water supervisor. The official rank of this official is generally three grades to five grades,

Knowing that these kings can't help but think of the Dream of Red Mansions, the four masters in the Dream of Red Mansions, these families are deeply rooted in the local area. Through marriage and other means, they have formed the kind of relationship of " mutual contact and relatives, especially the king's side Thinking that my little sister, who had just left, was about to marry the Xianyou Kui Bian family, I couldn't help sighing in my heart for the choice of the Song Dynasty,

This is really a work that makes Wang's side break his leg. Every family has sent a gift and has to visit for several days. These social activities are much harder than the king's foreign war. Of course, these things can't be explained. Because Wang's side has left this time, among these relatives and friends, Wang's side has become a hot bun, although However, Wang's side resigned for the time being, but these big family portals that "choose the door, ask the family law, and don't ask the rich" all like Wang's side,

What's wrong with Wang? Now there is no main room. Although he resigned temporarily, he is young and famous, and he is so young, handsome and unrestrained. Whenever Wang sees these elders asking about his family without concern, Wang has a hunch that he is also a pawn in the overall situation.

Wang's hunch is not wrong at all. Wang Anshi and his wife, who are sitting at home waiting for the two brothers to finish their relatives and friends quickly, are also hesitating about the marriage of their two sons. The eldest son Wang Yu is easy to do. Pang Shi, who has already married in the same county, only waits for the big marriage; but the second son Wang By the way, now he has started a family and a career, especially Wang is a person with a good idea. Although some people are willing to talk to the media and choose one of these large families, the old couple is still a little embarrassed,

This matter has become the main topic of Wang Anshi and his wife's discussion recently. Finally, it was discussed whether to choose between the Wu family or the Zeng family. The two could not argue. Just as the old couple was studying this matter, the family came to report and the county magistrate asked for a meeting.

Wang Anshi lives in his ancestral residence and has little contact with the local government. I don't know what's wrong with the county magistrate's sudden visit to the house.

The county magistrate of Linchuan County is surnamed Zhu. He didn't pass the Jinshi until he was in his forties. He finally got into the county magistrate of Jiupin, but he finally has a grade, thinking that there will always be a day to stand out slowly.

Speaking of which, I have to talk about the official system of the Song Dynasty. First of all, to be an official in the Song Dynasty, you have to be an official in other places. If you are not familiar with the land, it is not easy to manage. Second, it is even more difficult to be a county official. The local government in the Song Dynasty is divided into three levels, and the highest level is the road, which is equivalent to the way of the Tang Dynasty. The middle level is the government, state, the army and the prison, which is quite In the state capital of the Tang Dynasty, the lowest level was still the county, first divided into 15 routes, and then into more than 20 routes. Since the five dynasties, local administrators have all been soldiers,

In the Tang Dynasty, the chiefs of each road were observation envoys. According to the name, the observation envoys were sent by the imperial court to inspect local administration, and they were not formal local administrators, but later they gradually became local heads. This has been said in the Tang Dynasty, and changed again in the Song Dynasty. These officials, also known as supervisors in the Song Dynasty, have a total of them. The four supervisors, commonly known as Shuai, Cao, Xian and Cang, "shuai" are appeasement envoys, in charge of military civil affairs all the way, leading the prohibition of military brigades, rewards and punishments, "Can" are transshipment envoys, in charge of wealth, leading the consumption of funds, funds to accumulate, "constitution" is to refer to the criminal inspector, in charge of justice, lead the prison lawsuits, prisoners are detailed, and "Cang" is to mention of permanent. Pingshi, the rescue, leading Changping Yicang, water convergence, these four are equivalent to not local governors, but sent by the central government to the local government to supervise and direct the localities.

In the prefectures and counties of the Tang Dynasty, as long as one boss was flattered, that is, the observer envoy, and in the Song Dynasty, it had to flatter four bosses, namely, Marshal, Cao, Xian and Cang, it can be thought that it was difficult for local officials to do. Among these four divisions, Caoshi, that is, transshipment envoy, was the most important. Local finance was in his hands. He had to transfer all the local wealth to the central government. And this Zhu county magistrate has been here for three years after the Spring Year. It is said that nothing big has happened in the past two years. He is trying to make a stable transition. How can he know that the county's harvest is not good in the last year, so it will be more difficult for him to do it.

Originally, there was a Chen member in this county. In the past few years, the top deviations have been sent to the Chen member's head. Chen's ancestors also had some property. In his generation, he was the only son, but he was not the material of a prosperous family. He could not do literature or martial arts, but he also gave birth to a cowardly kindness. He could not collect the rent tax apportioned by the government. I didn't dare to offend the government, so I had to support myself. I thought that I might be able to do a good job by relying on the government, but it got worse and worse. Finally, there was a scene on the street next to the king.

Then what did the Zhu county magistrate come to Wang Anshi's house for?
