It was not until the Lu Ming Banquet that Yao Anhong took office and entered the Hanlin Academy, and only learned the "truth" before Zeng Jiazhi left Beijing.

This time, Zeng Jiazhi invited Yao Anhong out alone, thanked him well and thanked him again.

He said: "If Brother Yao hadn't reminded me, I would have almost fallen into the Luming Banquet. The efforts of several generations of my Zeng family would have almost been ruined in my hands..."

Zeng Jiazhi gritted his teeth and said that before this, he really didn't expect that his classmates were such people.

They studied in a school and worshiped a gentleman.

I think my relationship is good because the other party is younger than him and I take good care of him.

But……

But the man failed the exam and said under the banner of "accompanying the exam", why did he be afraid that Zeng Jiazhi would not be taken care of in Beijing alone, but he did not expect that when the other party was inquiring about the taboos of officials in Beijing, he dug such a big pit for him.

Yao Anhong was also surprised, but he didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing so soon.

The elders in the family "remind" him because they were afraid that he would be plotted against, but the result was...

He didn't meet, but the people he met met met.

"Oh..." Zeng Jiazhi sighed, "People's hearts are easy to change. I remember how good my relationship with him was. He was short of money from studying and helped me advance it. Unexpectedly, I helped him and helped him out."

"Then... did you ask him to pay back that money?"

"I asked him to write an IOU, which was limited to him to pay it back within five years. From then on, the bridge will return to the bridge and the road will return to the road, and there will be no relationship between us." Zeng Jiazhi said, "I said it, not to win the sympathy of Brother Yao, but just to remind Brother Yao not to make the same mistakes as me. I have already taught a lesson once, but fortunately, it would be miserable by Brother Yao."

They had not entered the officialdom before. If they offended others, they would have only been eliminated and they would not be able to take the imperial examinations in this life. But if they were plotted like this after becoming an official, it would be easy to say that they were small, but if they were older, they might even have their lives in it.

Zeng Jiazhi said this and said it again.

Yao Anhong felt sad and comforted him for a long time.

When asked where Zeng Jiazhi went in the future, the two left their contact information so that they could contact each other frequently in the future.

After leaving the teahouse, Yao Anhong met Wang Gu who was passing by.

Zeng Jiazhi had a poor background, so he almost couldn't choose a good position. He was sent to the local area to become an official; but Wang Gu was different.

In the previous background investigation by Li Wenchong to Yao Anhong, it was shown that Wang Gu had relatives who were officials in the court, and he was from a scholarly family. The elders in the family did not say that they were all the best, but some students also made it through and were in the court.

Therefore, Wang Gutong had a good position, but he was also a small and medium-sized official in Beijing.

However, compared to entering the Hanlin Academy, Yao Anhong, who may study behind Mr. Yao, the editor-in-chief of Daming Daily, in the future, Wang Gu entered the Thirteenth Department of the Ministry of Revenue and studied with a director.

"Hey, Brother Yao?"

"Brother Wang?"

Chasing each other for greetings.

When Wang Gu heard that he wanted to practice for Zeng Jiazhi for a few days and asked him if he wanted to be with him, Wang Gu's expression was strange: "Brother Yao... you seem to have a very good relationship with this...Brother Zeng. Are you old friends?"

Wang Gu naturally knew that they were not, so he just asked.

"Everyone is a colleague, and he is loyal to His Majesty. Is it not normal to have some contact?" Yao Anhong said with a smile, "Aren't I talking to Brother Wang now?"

Wang Gu looked helpless and asked Yao Anhong to go to the teahouse to talk together.

Yao Anhong, who had just come out, had to return to the teahouse again.

Wang Gu had a mysterious look and told Yao Anhong about Zeng Jiazhi that he had asked for inquiries before, reminding him to be careful. This second-tier figure is not an ordinary person.

The Zeng family is not only a scholar like Zeng Jiazhi. According to the rules of the Zeng family, there was no good news for a man who was thirty and could almost give up. But this person is different, and he seems to be particularly ambitious.

I don’t know how he persuaded the head of the Zeng family to pass the exam until he was thirty years old, and then the scholar.

It took a few years to get the winner.

When I was in my forties, I just entered the high school Jinshi with them.

He had three daughters, and even his relatives' daughter was stuffed into the backyard of an official and became a concubine.

"But his daughter was not good enough and died of illness within two years after entering. His only relative was gone," Wang Gu said in a low voice, "I have asked someone to inquire about it. I heard that the reason why his daughter was gone was because his daughter was not very stable in the backyard and wanted to step on her wife. She was dug up a pit by her wife and stepped on her..."

"Brother Zeng has been married three times. The first time his wife is the daughter of a scholar. He has also studied with this scholar. Unfortunately... he has been studying for many years but has not read the results. Later, not long after his scholar's father-in-law passed away, his wife also died of illness."

"Later, he married the daughter of a wealthy businessman, which seemed to be a marriage arranged by his family. I don't know much about the others. Anyway, after the wife got married, the Zeng family's decline was alleviated, and he also had the opportunity to enter... The academy, which was the classmate he met later, also met here."

"The second wife died of dysfunction, leaving behind a posthumous son, his only legitimate daughter."

"The third wife is the current one, the daughter of a gentleman in the academy... The husband originally wanted to marry his daughter to his classmate, but later, for some reason, he married him..."

...

In short, Zeng Jiazhi's "love history" is not very glorious.

It doesn't seem to be anything on the surface, but Wang Gu believes that there is no such coincidence in the world.

The first wife gave her husband, the second wife gave her money, and the third wife gave her husband again...

All three daughters were concubines, and even the daughter of the relatives could not escape.

As for Zeng Jiazhi's son, although he was studying in academy, he heard that his grades were not good, and his eldest son was even forced to commit suicide.

Compared with the background investigation handed by Li Wenchong to Yao Anhong, many of the "gossips" Wang Gu talked about were all rumored.

Yao Anhong was a little amused and laughed: "Why did you inquire so carefully? You are the top scholar. Is it really good to gossip about other people's private affairs like this?"

Wang Gu blinked and said, "Why can't you gossip? The top scholar is tiring to study, so I can't listen to some gossip and relax? My father doesn't let me do this or that. I can't do anything else, so I can only ask the servant to ask about the parents and other people's questions and come back to please me. Alas, don't tell me, you have no other entertainment except reading and studying all day long?"

Just mention the matter of "stolen discord" by yourself.

Obviously, Wang Gu came to "gossip" with Yao Anhong, and these things could not be separate "gossip", but wanted to sell Yao Anhong as a "favor".

Let Yao Anhong know that Zeng Jiazhi was probably not simply "thank you" Yao Anhong. He talked about being plotted against by classmates, and it may also be to "win sympathy" and want to get close to Yao Anhong.

Just think about it and you will know that the husband originally wanted to marry his daughter to his classmate. If Zeng Jiazhi had not done anything, how could the marriage fall on Zeng Jiazhi again?

You know, his classmates are younger than him and have never been married.

Unlike Zeng Jiazhi, who is several years older than his third wife, his ex-wife has another daughter. In addition to her family's conditions being better than classmates, her grades at school are similar. Why should people choose him instead of classmates?
