近日读史,读及明代郑晓及夫人拒贿之史实,颇觉难能可贵。嘉庆年间,官场腐败,仕风污浊,但郑晓却出污泥而不染。有一次,他主持选拔官员,一位求见者给他送了一包茶叶。郑晓见来人情意恳切,就叫夫人收了下来。这位夫人打开包装,发现茶叶里藏有黄金,顿时变色,二话没说,就将茶叶包好如初,婉言谢绝了来客馈赠。那位求见者虽然悻悻而出,但对郑夫人把牢家门、不污夫名的行为却深为钦佩。 Recent reading history, reading and Ming Zheng Xiao and his wife refused to bribe the history is quite valuable. Jiaqing years, officials corrupt, official style dirty, but Zheng did not muddy out of dye. Once, he presided over the selection of officials, a seeker sent him a pack of tea. Zheng Xiao to see people affectionate sincerity, called the lady closed down. The lady opened the package and found that there was gold in the tea, which suddenly changed color, and apart from anything else, she wrapped her tea well and declined politely. Although he seeks out, his admiration for Mrs. CHENG’s jailing the house and not fostering her name is deeply admired.
