Lord Ouyang waved his pen and waved Wu Hongwen to the Nanjing Ministry of Justice. Others didn't understand that the old man around Lord Ouyang Shangshu revealed the secret in one word.

"That Li Xu is Yan Song's man. Lord Ouyang hates Yan Song and his son deeply. Anyone they want to mention, Lord Ouyang will not let them get what they want!"

Wu Hongwen was also unlucky. Because Ouyang Bijin was dissatisfied with Yan Song and his son, then the Yan Party member said casually, which made Ouyang suspicious. He suspected that Wu Hongwen was Yan Song's party, so he transferred his resume to see it, but he didn't expect to see it.

"…Wu Hong's wife died after passing the imperial examination, and his step-wife's sister Cheng..."

At this time, the official's resumes include his own, his wife, and his children. During his lifetime of political education, they will leave records of marriages and funerals in the Ministry of Personnel. When Lord Ouyang saw this Cheng family, he indicated that the words "... Marry Cheng Jili, the eldest daughter of the Ministry of Revenue, the eldest daughter of Cheng Jili, the second daughter of the successor..."

Lord Ouyang was the provincial examination in Jiangxi in the eighth year of Zhengde. In the 12th year, he was appointed as the head of the Ministry of Rites. Later, he served as the governor of Zhejiang, the governor of Yunyang, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, the censor of the two Kyotos, the clerk of the clerk, the clerk of the two Kyotos, and the minister of the officialdom. He was a veteran of the two dynasties. This old master Duan Shen had his own account in his heart. He knew all the officials of all sizes in the capital. Speaking of Cheng Jili, he was a strict party, how could Ouyang Bijin not know?

In the past, there were people from Yan Party speaking for Wu Hongwen, and later, two wives were from Yan Party members. What is Wu Hongwen’s reputation? Naturally, there is no need to say more. It is hard to say whether Wu Hongwen’s contribution is true or false!

There are indeed doubts in the Japanese pirate case this time, and the documents reported by Hangzhou Prefecture are not fully explained. The old man has served as the Minister of Justice, and his eyes are like a torch. However, when he saw the strangeness in the case, he naturally would not think that there was anything wrong with the case itself, but he was suspicious that the Yan Party deliberately exaggerated and distorted the facts and lied about his achievements in order to support his followers. In this way, the old man waved his hand and waved Wu Hongwen to Nanjing!

The colleague of Huang Zhizhou could see clearly about this incident. When he saw Huang Futai write a letter to ask, he told him everything.

Of course, he didn't know that Wu Hongwen was wronged, but just told Huang Zhizhou in the letter.

"...Now Lord Ouyang is in power in the Ministry of Personnel. He is a veteran of two dynasties and is highly valued by His Majesty. Even Master Yan should avoid his edge. When he meets him, it is your subordinate who is unlucky. Let's go to Nanjing for a while. When Lord Ouyang forgets this, he will think of another way!"

The letter was sent back to Hangzhou. Huang Zhizhou gave the letter to Wu Hongwen. Wu Hongwen was so angry that he was wronged. So what if he was wronged? He couldn't run to the Ministry of Personnel to express his feelings to Lord Ouyang, shouting that he was not Yan's party, but he was afraid that he might have done this seriously. Lord Ouyang might not believe it, but offended Yan Song and his son first!

Therefore, Wu Hongwen was sure to suffer. Now he was a mute and could not say anything about his suffering. He had to swallow it. He had an argument with his wife on this matter before, and he didn't want to talk about it with his wife anymore. The grievances were always hidden in his heart. Today, he was about to leave Hangzhou and rush to Nanjing to "retirement". The grief and anger in his heart were really unstoppable, so he revealed his ten-year-old daughter in front of him!

Wu Xinan felt very sympathetic to Wu Hongwen when he heard this. But after all, he could do anything, so he reached out and pulled his father's hand and persuaded him.

"The father doesn't have to be pessimistic. According to his daughter's eyes, he may not have nothing to do when he goes to Nanjing. People who are officials choose places, but those who commit crimes still choose places? If the father wants to do something practical for the country and the people, he doesn't have to be detained anywhere!"

Wu Hongwen naturally understood such a simple truth.

This is the case in this world. Look at the person who is desperately rushing into the horns. No matter how others persuade him, he can't turn back. Do you think he really doesn't understand this truth? He is afraid he understands a little more than the bystanders. But he can't get through the hurdle in his heart, and he can't get out like a devil!

Wu Hongwen continued to redirect, so naturally he had thought about it for a long time. How could he not understand? He felt that he was wronged and could not overcome that hurdle, so he asked his daughter,

"I can't say that I'm the head of the sixth rank for my father's life. Will An An feel disappointed?"

Wu Xinan laughed loudly when he heard this.

"I'm going to hide it from you, my daughter has never had any expectations for her father's official position..."

After saying that, he slapped his chest with a loyalty,

"Don't worry, my father, I'm just saying that he is a sixth-rank official. Even if you are a commoner, I can support you, my daughter!"

What she told the truth, but Wu Hongwen laughed and asked her

"You raise my old age, what do you take to raise my old age?"

Wu Xinan said with a smile,

"My daughter is good at martial arts and can kill pigs. If she can't live a life in the future, we will go back to Hangzhou to open a pork shop. It will definitely make you have no worries about food and clothing. No one dares to bully you!"

Wu Hongwen laughed loudly when he heard this. After so many days, he finally stretched his eyebrows and reached out to touch his daughter's head and smiled, and he leaned forward and backward.

"Okay, okay! My father will wait for An'an to retire from now on. In the future, we will go back to Hangzhou to open a pig-killing shop. If you kill pigs and sell meat, how about setting up an account for your father?"

"good!"

The father and daughter stood at the bow of the boat, facing the slowly blowing river breeze, looking at the gradually widening river channel ahead, and looking back at Hangzhou City while talking and laughing, Wu Hongwen's eyes finally had a little gloom.

The official ship was heading towards Nanjing, and on the way there was a journey through Jiaxing, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, and Zhenjiang. Then from Zhenjiang to Nanjing, the waterway was smooth and there was less bumpy. The official ship was steady, but the speed was slower. However, the Ministry of Personnel gave Wu Hongwen a month, so he was not in a hurry.

Wu Hongwen left Hangzhou City and his mood gradually became a little cheerful. He thought that he had been in Hangzhou for ten years and rarely went out to walk, and his wife and children at home had never come out to see the world in Hangzhou City, so he planned to simply go all the way and slowly go to Nanjing.

Therefore, when the official boat arrived in Jiaxing, he ordered to stop the boat and took his family off the boat for three days. After that, Wuxi also went to visit. When he arrived in Suzhou, he even booked an inn and wanted to stay here for four or five days.

Speaking of the Jiangnan area, Suzhou and Hangzhou, and Jinling Songjiang, they are all good places with abundant resources and outstanding people and beautiful places. It is March in the spring. It is in the south of the Yangtze River. It is the wind, scenery, water, mountains, and people. This is the most prosperous place for trade in the entire Daqing Dynasty. As long as you have silver in your pocket, goods from north to south, specialties from east to west, and things from home and abroad, you can buy them.

The Wu family has been in Jiangnan for a long time but they don’t care about the scenery, but they are lingering at the things from all over the street and can’t let go. Now that moving a house has emptied the family’s foundation. Xiao Cheng led his children to go shopping, his eyes turned red when he was shopping, and his teeth were chewing, so he finally resisted the urge to empty his money bag. When he returned to the inn, he closed the door. He was secretly angry and cursed with a handkerchief.

"It's all that old woman is a ghost. If it weren't for her, why would I be like this!"

Wu Xinan didn't have her troubles. If she hadn't been worried about buying too many things, being too conspicuous and suspicious, she could have emptied her shop. Even so, she stayed in Suzhou for four days. When she got on the boat, Zhiniao, Du Juan, and Liu Pozi were carrying large bags of bags, panting and sweating profusely.

"Miss, where are we next stop?"

Zhiniao placed things on the small table in the cabin, opened the boxes one by one, took out a novel hairpin and made a gesture on Wu Xin'an's head.

"This is a good one... the shopkeeper said that this is the latest style this year, and it was created according to the style of tribute to the palace ladies this year..."

This room was gestured and went there to get another box. When it opened, it was a pair of embroidered shoes.

"Miss, look... The embroiderer in Suzhou has a good skill than our Hangzhou. This butterfly embroidered so well, and the price is cheaper than Hangzhou. If it weren't for too many things, I would think I could buy a few more pairs..."

Wu Xinan looked at Zhiniao and Du Juan, while counting the items, chattering and discussing, but putting the boxes everywhere, and then stood up and slew them.

"This cabin is so frustrating. You count the things and put them in. I'll go out for a walk!"

The two girls responded without raising their heads. Wu Xinan went out of the cabin door and went to the front deck to look out at the river. However, when he turned around, he saw Wu Hongwen coming off the carriage on the dock.

"Father!"

Wu Xinan went over and waved her, and Wu Hongwen also smiled and replied to her.

Wu Hongwen was traveling all the way and his mood became much more open. He stayed in Suzhou these days, and his wife and young men were mainly traveling. However, he regained the frivolity of the literati, went to the official uniform, put on the literati and scholars' shirts, ran to Hejing Academy to make friends with others through literature, but he made friends with a group of literati and sorrowful scholars. He listened to poetry and wrote together all day long and was very happy for several days. When he saw that the time was coming, he hurried back.

Wu Hongwen laughed when she saw her eldest daughter.

"Come on! An An... introduces this Zhou Maoshan and Uncle Zhou Shishi to you for your father!"

"Zhou Maoshan... Why does this name sound familiar?"

Wu Xin'an raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. He looked up at the person in front of him. He saw that he was dressed in a literati, with clear facial features, elegant temperament, three wisps of black beard under his jaw, and his eyes were clear. At first glance, he was a scholar with full poetry and books and noble character.

"Zhou... Uncle Shi is polite!"

Zhou Maoshan was neither humble nor arrogant, and he replied,

"Miss Wu is polite!"

Wu Hongwen smiled and said to Wu Xin,
Chapter completed!
