Chapter 128: The aggrieved Shen Ming Mansion
Standing at the gate of the county office, Shen Song smiled and gave Su Mo a gift. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at Su Mo's figure gradually moving away, and when he turned around and walked towards the county office, his face suddenly became gloomy.
Because of a small mistake, not only did he fail to find out anything, but Su Mo raised his vigilance and faintly threatened him, which made Shen Song feel ashamed and angry.
It was a great shame that a little child, an ant-like existence, would dare to threaten him with a county order! At this moment, Shen Song even put aside the fact that he had not been able to find out the news he wanted to know.
Fang Cai's temptation, in fact, both of them knew that it did not mean anything, and it would not really lead to any substantive results. After all, it was just a private conversation between the two, and there was no evidence, whether it was Su Mo's rebellious contempt for imperial power, or Su Mo's threat to publicize that he had suppressed Su Mo when he first came, at most it would only make people suspicious.
But as the saying goes, barefoot people are not afraid to wear shoes. Su Mo is just a boy with no reputation, and he is young, not to mention that no one will believe the rumors of contempt for imperial power. Even if there is some belief, it will eventually dissipate over time.
But he Shen Song is different. He is in a high position, and he has just arrived, so there are countless speculations. Every move attracts the attention of countless people. If it is rumored that he is bullying a child, it will definitely embarrass him. Especially when Su Mo is still quite famous in Wuqing, it will only make him fall into the name of being jealous and jealous.
Even if he is not afraid of these, but now Su Mo can be regarded as a person who listens directly to the heavens, whether this is true or not, once it reaches the ears of the Son of Heaven, what will the Son of Heaven think of him? Not to mention that he has a great plot, what will the master behind him think?
Thinking about the consequences, Shen Song couldn't help but shudder. This Su Mo is a treacherous and cunning person, and he can't be looked at by a normal young man at all. Today's lesson must be taken as a warning!
Thinking of this, I remembered what Su Mo said when he was leaving. This kid was going to do a big literary event, and he invited himself to participate.
If he hadn't seen Su Mo today, hadn't happened what had just happened, or if this wasn't Su Mo but someone else saying this, maybe he would have heard it and wouldn't have taken it as a thing.
But now, he would never despise Su Mo again. This kid seems to be frivolous on his face, but in fact he is scheming, and he plans to act before he does anything. In this case, is it really just a coincidence that he suddenly came up with such a thing at the juncture when he first came to take over? Hey, I'm afraid I want to build momentum for myself, so that people can be jealous and rely on more.
Shen Song thought silently in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but burst into a sneer. Do you want to play tricks in front of someone Shen? Dream! I don't care if you are a coincidence or have some scheme, as long as this official is not allowed here, let this literary event not be able to happen, see if you can still play tricks?
Thinking of this, he was reassured. Command your subordinates to bring in the official documents that have been sent for approval in the next few days.
The subordinate turned around and went, and when the subordinate went out, he saw an errand officer walking in quickly, and when he saw Shen Song, he bowed down and said, "My lord, there is Zhang Yu, the housekeeper of the Zhang Mansion in this county, asking to see him." ”
Shen Song was stunned, Zhang Fu? Of course he knew. Today's Niangniang's family is the first family in Wuqing County. Moreover, it is said that they are still the two rakes in Beijing who do not hesitate to make money. Before he came to Wuqing, he had specially told him not to provoke this Wuqing Zhang family easily.
It stands to reason that when the new county magistrate takes office, it is common sense that the big gentry of a county will come to congratulate and welcome him. In the meantime, there will naturally be some ceremonies, which are all unwritten conventions.
It's just that this kind of thing should be done by these people together, and it will never be done alone unless there are special circumstances. You must know that although the various forces are big and small, they are not too bad. Your Zhang family is the largest family, but if you want to make friends with the county magistrate alone, don't you want to dominate it? This is absolutely unacceptable to other families.
If this is not the case, then, could it be that he invited himself on behalf of another family? Well, it is not impossible. After all, this can also reflect the identity of the first family of the Zhang family and Wuqing.
Thinking of this, Shen Song's face was slightly relaxed, nodded, and asked the messenger to invite Zhang Yu to serve tea in the front hall. After changing his clothes, he walked out with square steps.
"Old slave Zhang Yu, knock to see Lord Mingfu. In the living room, as soon as the old housekeeper Zhang Yu saw Shen Song walk out, he immediately got up, took two steps forward, and was about to bow down.
In terms of identity alone, he is just a slave of the Zhang family, and when he sees Shen Song, a parent official, he naturally wants to make a big salute.
How could Shen Song dare to accept his courtesy? Not to mention that he represented the Zhang family, and behind the Zhang family was the queen's mother. Even if the urine of the two uncles of the country alone, he will not be disgusted by this little courtesy.
"Oh, old man, this is not above the court, don't be like this, please get up, please get up. He took a step forward and grabbed Zhang Yu's arm with both hands, preventing him from bowing down.
Zhang Yu was not hypocritical, he straightened up, and said with a smile: "How can this be, the etiquette cannot be wasted." Otherwise, if you go back, the master will blame the old slave. ”
Shen Song frowned slightly, belched, and pretended to be displeased: "What's wrong with this, the saint has clouds, the old and the old." Although the county is not talented, it is also deeply influenced by Confucianism, and it is still qualified to ask yourself about this. If the old family owner Zhang blames, the county will bear it. Sit down, old man, and talk. As he spoke, he called someone to serve tea.
Zhang Yu didn't say much at this time, but he didn't really sit down, only bowed slightly, and stood respectfully at the bottom. This rule still has to be observed, no matter how big the Zhang family is, it is not something that an old servant can dominate in front of the order of a county. As for the tea, it was naturally just a politeness, but it wouldn't really come up to him, let him sit down and taste it. If it was replaced, the old man Zhang Yue would be almost the same.
When he saw Shen Song sitting down, he stepped forward, took out a post from his arms, handed it to both hands, and said with a smile: "Lord Xie Mingfu sits." The old slave came today to deliver a post on behalf of my master. When the Ming Mansion first came, my lord and the heads of the county wanted to wash the dust for the Ming Mansion, and I hoped that the Lord of the Ming Mansion would be gracious. ”
Shen Songxin said sure enough. Stretched out his hand to take the post and open it, browsed it in general, and then nodded and smiled: "When I first came to this county, I just met with all the famous elders and discussed my Wuqing development plan." The old man asked to tell the old family owner Zhang that the county should go to the banquet on time, but it made the family owners bother. ”
Zhang Yu smiled and bowed down, but did not immediately retreat, but took out a few more bills from his arms, took two steps forward, gently put them on the table, and said with a smile: "Yes, the old slave will definitely transfer the words of the Ming Mansion to the master." At this point, he paused, and still took two steps back to serve.
Shen Song raised his eyebrows, and his gaze fell on the table. These bills are the silver bills of Guangjin Bank, also called passes. It can be exchanged for matching silver taels in the places of the seven norths and six hundred and thirteen provinces in the south of the Ming Dynasty, but wherever there is a wide entry into the bank, it can be exchanged at will.
He only glanced at it, and he knew it. It is estimated that it should be about five hundred taels. His eyes turned to Zhang Yu, who was silent, with a smile on his face, and said indifferently: "Old man, what does this mean?"
Zhang Yu's face was unsettling, and he arched his hand and said: "It's nothing, it's just that my lord thinks that my nephew and young master have caused trouble to Lord Mingfu, and I also ask Lord Mingfu to look at the face of the queen and take care of it." ”
Queen Mother?!
Shen Song couldn't calm down anymore, Huo Di stood up, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter, it actually involves Niangniang? Who is your nephew and young master?"
Zhang Yu saluted again and said respectfully: "My nephew's young master's name is Wenmo, and he has opened a small study in this Wuqing County, called Moyun Bookstore. I heard that the little princess was born a few years ago, and the queen mother was very hard, so she wanted to do a grand event to pray for the mother and the little princess. ”
"What?!Pray for the blessing of the mother and the little princess? Isn't it just an ordinary literary meeting? Why hasn't this county heard of this reason before?" As soon as Zhang Yu said Zhang Wenmo and Moyun Bookstore, Shen Song immediately reacted.
Isn't that Su Mo going to participate in this literary event that Moyun Bookstore is going to do? I was still thinking about whether to apply for this application just now, why did he get involved with Niangniang and the little princess in a blink of an eye?
Shen Song suddenly had a very bad premonition at this moment, only to feel that his temples were bulging, and the green tendons on his forehead collapsed.
Zhang Yu arched his hand unhurriedly and said with a smile: "Lord Mingfu, you should know that today, Zi is diligent and loves the people, does not apply luxury, and is extremely strict with himself. Niangniang is virtuous and virtuous, so is naturally the same, of course, she will not agree with the officials to do any kind of prayer and other labor and money.
However, my Zhang family is different, my Zhang family is the mother of the mother, and there are many younger generations of the mother. This junior is within the scope of his ability, but it is not hindered to take the initiative to do a filial piety, but this name is always difficult to say.
Alas, speaking of which, just for this matter, my lord was also angry and relieved. What is angry is that Young Master Wenmo has some possibility of discrediting Niangniang by doing this, but at the same time, he is also relieved and relieved by the filial piety of a junior.
It's just that between the family and the country, the country is still the most important thing in the end. Therefore, the master expelled Young Master Wenmo from the Zhang family as a punishment, but he no longer stopped Young Master Wenmo from holding this grand event.
But then I thought about it, after this cultural meeting, I am afraid that it will have some impact on the Lord of the Ming Mansion, and maybe the yamen will need to come forward to maintain order or something, but you can't let the big brother work in vain? ”
Old Zhang Yu finished talking at length, sighing and nodding again, completely looking at the loving and helpless appearance of the elders looking at the juniors. But after Shen Song heard this, he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood on the spot.
What a treacherous old horseman! kicked Zhang Wenmo out of the Zhang family with one kick, and cleaned himself and the entire Zhang family. I did the same, and I didn't have to take a little risk, but I passed all the pressure on myself, the new county magistrate. It's just that the words are called beautiful, and people can't find fault with them. Shameless! Shameless! What a thief!
Yes, the officials can't do it, but the younger generations of the people themselves can't say that they are doing their filial piety; if you have to find fault with this, then it will be done, and now that people have kicked everyone out of their homes, what else do you want?
Not to mention, even if you really manage it, you are not allowed to do it. Well, the mother may not say anything on her face, but she really hates it in her heart. Does Shen Song dare to come out of this?
Not to mention the lady in the palace, although she is indeed virtuous and virtuous, it is not good for Your Majesty alone. To others, hehe, everyone remembers the fate of the person who asked the Son of Heaven to take a concubine on the post back then. was hated by that mother, tsk, Shen Song's scalp was numb when he thought about it.
Originally, he wanted to stop Su Mo by banning the holding of this cultural meeting, but now it seems that it is completely impossible. Not only is it not good, but he Shen Song Shen Mingfu has to accompany the smiling face, help him wholeheartedly, and personally help find a great name to crown.
Shen Song only felt infinitely aggrieved at this moment, and he was about to suffocate his internal injuries.
