Rise From the Humble

"Sir, none of us can write, and the old woman can only write her own name like a dog. However, we can dictate it. Please ask the eldest man to ask someone to write a letter home, and finally the old woman signs her name. I His tone and speaking habits, as well as my handwritten name, he can tell at a glance."

Wang Zhi's mother, Mrs. Wang, volunteered.

"Please ask the eldest sir to hire someone to write it for you. I will also dictate a letter from home to him. He was famous in the countryside for being a free-spirited man. There was no matchmaker for him. When I married him, he said that there was smoke coming from his ancestral graves. Yes, he has disliked me for many years. We had some words, He knew it was me as soon as he heard it. Also, although I can’t write, I can draw. Every time I reply to him, I draw an orchid for him. When he sees the orchid, he knows it’s me. Reply to the letter." Wang Zhi's wife, Wang Zhang, also said.

Both of them cherished the opportunity to let Wang Zhi Zhaoan, fearing that Wang Zhi would not know Zhu Pingan's goodwill and sincerity and miss the important matter.

For women in the feudal era, their highest pursuit was to value their mothers and their children, and to have their wives and children as their patrons.

They couldn't refuse the opportunity. There may not be this opportunity again in the future, so they must seize this opportunity tightly.

"What a good idea. I have a personal letter from the old lady and Mrs. Wang, so that Wang Zhi will know my goodwill and sincerity." After Zhu Pingan heard this, he admired the suggestions of Wang Zhi's mother and Wang Zhi's wife.

"As long as it works, it'll be useful." Wang Zhi's mother and Wang Zhi's wife couldn't help but smile.

"It's getting late, so I won't disturb you, old lady. After you have dinner, go to bed early. Early tomorrow morning, we will rush to southern Zhejiang. Old madam, you don't have to worry. You go to southern Zhejiang together, not to put pressure on Wang Zhi, nor to sacrifice flags or anything, but to arrange for you to meet Wang Zhi if the opportunity is suitable. Of course, if the opportunity is not suitable, you can only wait until later. Opportunity to meet again. ”

Zhu Ping'an stood up and said goodbye to Wang Zhi's mother and others, asking them to rest early as they would be on their way early tomorrow morning.

In order to prevent Wang Zhi's mother and others from thinking wildly, Zhu Ping'an stopped again before leaving and asked someone to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Zhu Pingan splashed ink on the table and quickly wrote a pardon order.

"Amnesty Order for Living Outside Prison"

In recognition of the special contributions made by Wang Wang, Wang Zhang and Wang Qiong in recruiting Wang Zhi and embodying the spirit of clear distinction between rewards and punishments, the three persons are given the privilege of living outside prison. During the period of living outside prison, he was not allowed to leave the city without permission. He was required to report to the Zhejiang Governor's Yamen regularly in the middle and end of each month.

Zhu Ping'an, the right minister of the Ministry of War in Yingtian and the governor of Zhejiang.

Finally, on the date of signing, Zhu Pingan stamped his bright red seal as governor of Zhejiang on it.

An amnesty order for supervised release has been released.

Zhu Ping'an read out the amnesty order for living outside prison, handed it to Wang Zhi's mother, and told her to keep it safe.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir."

Wang Zhi's mother and Wang Zhi's wife excitedly pulled Wang Qiong to their knees and thanked him. With this amnesty order, they were relieved.

"Old madam, please get up quickly. When the Zhejiang delegation comes back, no matter how Wang Zhi responds, after they come back, I will go to the Holy One to commend you for your contribution to Wang Zhi's surrender and give you extra mercy." , forgive your death penalty." Zhu Pingan helped Wang Zhi's mother and promised them.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." Wang Zhi's mother and the others expressed their gratitude again.

"Okay, old lady, I'm taking my leave. You guys have a good rest after dinner. Goodbye, little Wang Qiong. See you tomorrow."

Zhu Pingan said goodbye to Wang Zhi's mother and Xiao Wang Qiong, and turned to leave.

"Sir, please stay." When Zhu Pingan was about to go out, Wang Zhi's mother stopped Zhu Pingan again.

"What other instructions does the old lady have?" Zhu Pingan turned around and asked.

"Sir, the old lady is thinking, in addition to our oral written letter, would it be better to add a token?"

Wang Zhi's mother asked.

"It would indeed be better to add another token to win Wang Zhi's trust." Zhu Ping'an nodded and replied.

"Such a great man, we were imprisoned and didn't bring any tokens with us, but there was a little metal figure hidden behind the door plaque of the ancestral hall in our hometown. On the back of this metal figure were engraved the four words 'Wealth can reach the sky' When the time comes to deliver the letter, bring this little metal man with you, and Wang Zhi will be convinced."

Wang Zhi's mother hugged little Wang Qiong and said slowly to Zhu Ping'an.

Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\\\\Nine\\\\\\Book\\\\\\!)

"Is there anything special about this little metal man?" Zhu Pingan asked.

"It's a long story. Although this metal figurine is just a figurine made of brass, it is very special to Wang Zhi. It is the secret of our mother and son. Speaking of which, Wang Zhi was still thirteen or fourteen years old. When Wang Zhi was a child, he was not honest, did not like reading and writing, liked wandering and wandering, and also liked merchants. His father did not allow him to become a merchant, so he forced him to study the Four Books and Five Classics and let him take the exam to become a scholar. "

"But Wang Zhi is not good at studying and often skips classes in private schools. This metal villain is the one who skipped classes once. He used the one tael of silver he stole from home to trade baskets of bacon with others in the mountains, and then went to the county town to resell them for money. The price difference. A rich man bought his bacon and said that the quality of his bacon was very good. He was very satisfied. It happened that he urgently needed to purchase a batch of bacon and sold it to the merchants who went to sea at a high price. So he gave him a little golden man, saying that it was pure gold and he didn't need to look for it. With the extra money, he could go to the mountains to buy it If you buy bacon of this quality and get it to this place ten days later, the rich man will pay a 30% premium.”

"Wang Zhi couldn't help being happy. He happily took the little golden man and patted his chest and promised that he would buy more and better quality bacon within ten days and would not let the rich man down. The rich man smiled and said, "You can teach me." , just took the bacon and left."

"The back of this little golden man is engraved with the four words 'wealth can reach the sky'. Wang Zhi likes it very much. These four words are also his motto. However, in order to do business, he still reluctantly gave up and took the little golden man to the gold shop. Change it to silver."

"However, when I arrived at the gold shop, I gave the statuette to the shop clerk and said that I wanted to exchange it for silver. The shop clerk shook his head repeatedly and said that it was not gold, but made of bronze with a layer of brass plated on the outside. It was not worth anything at all. Silver, let alone one tael, even ten pence. Not worth it. Wang Zhi was dumbfounded. He didn't believe what the clerk said, thinking that the clerk wanted to cheat him out of gold. He changed to several gold shops one after another, and finally had to accept the truth. This metal villain was indeed not made of gold. It’s just a layer of brass plated on the outside of the bronze.”

"This hit Wang Zhi hard. Moreover, the master told his father about his truancy. If his father knew that he had stolen a few taels of silver from the family and learned how to do business, and ended up being deceived, his father would be You can definitely kill him."

"Wang Zhi was scared and angry. He cried at home for a long time. After I knew the truth, I used the silver hairpin from my dowry to exchange for a couple of silver to help him make up for the loss. Only then did his father find out that he had stolen money from the family. , escaped."

"Afraid of being discovered by his father and arousing suspicion, Wang Zhi and I placed the little metal figure behind the plaque in the ancestral hall. Every time Wang Zhi went to the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors, he would play with the little metal figure for a while to remind himself that Quit.”

Wang Zhi's mother slowly told the origin of the metal villain. (End of chapter)
