Chapter 119: Right Prime Minister Zhang Zhongxian
Gongsun Nan walked out of the palace, entered the sedan chair parked outside, and sat in the sedan chair and carried it back to Gongsun Mansion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Gongsun Nan closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, and there was no superfluous expression.
The palace is not far from Gongsun Mansion, and it didn't take long for the sedan chair to stop suddenly, Gongsun Nan opened his eyes, and the sedan chair man said outside, "Master! ”
After the servant finished speaking, the sedan chair opposite opened the sedan curtain, and there was a middle-aged man sitting inside, who was not angry and looked at the sedan chair of Gongsun Nan opposite.
Gongsun Nan opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to open the sedan curtain, looked directly at the person opposite, then bowed down and got off the sedan chair, arched his hand towards the right minister and said, "Lord right minister." ”
"The old man recently got a new cup of snow on the cloud top, I don't know if Brother Gongsun is interested in going to the house to have a product. Zhang Zhongxian, the right minister, said that he did not claim to be an official position, but was completely a courtesy exchange between friends.
Gongsun Nan smiled: "Brother Zhang, please, how dare you disobey." ”
Zhang Zhongxian in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion withdrew from his subordinates, personally poured a cup of fragrant tea for Gongsun Nan, and then motioned to Gongsun Nan to drink.
Gongsun Nan is also not polite, not because he is the right minister, and his official position is higher and humble than himself. He picked up the teacup and sniffed it, closed his eyes and savored it, and then took a sip of it, the tea was fragrant, sweet and mellow, without a trace of bitterness.
"Good tea!" Gongsun Nan couldn't help but admire.
The yield of Yunding snow is not high, they grow on the cold ice of the plateau, a year only in the summer when the sprouts grow, from the germination to the leaf withering is only a short two months, the farmers take advantage of the time of the sprouts, climb the plateau to pick, a year down there are only a small number of catties, most of them are sent to the palace as tribute, only a small number of people are thrown a lot of money to snatch away.
But no matter how scarce it is, Duanwangfu and Youxiangfu can receive a small cup of new tea every year, and even King Yan can only ask for it from the queen.
"But no matter how good the tea is, it's not as good as your daughter!" Zhang Zhongxian looked at Gongsun Nan with an inexplicable smile on his face and said.
Now that the three kings are asking for marriage, the matter of the people making trouble in Gongsun Mansion is already well known, and no matter who they are, they have to ridicule Gongsun Nan with this.
Gongsun Nan smiled helplessly and said, "Brother Zhang, don't be sarcastic about me." ”
The old man told the truth. If it is not good to make a daughter, why will it cause the three kings to fight. Zhang Zhongxian put down the teapot in his hand, looked at Gongsun Nan and said.
"It's just a joke between young people, and I can't do too much. Gongsun Nan shook his head and said funny, even he didn't believe that the three kings would really like their daughter.
"Hey, hey, I don't count, but you and I don't count. But you'll have to say the one you left behind today. Zhang Zhongxian said.
Gongsun Nan also smiled and didn't say anything about today's imperial study, but said, "We are all old men and can't take care of it, so the children's affairs will be natural, and they will make their own decisions." ”
"If they could have made their own decisions before, I'm afraid it's hard now. The crown prince has not yet been decided, and no one knows who it will be in the future, and the one above will not allow a woman to provoke a fight between his children and grandchildren. So if you want your daughter to be satisfied, you want to return to the countryside, and I'm afraid that it won't work. Gongsun Nan has the idea of retiring, and many people can see it, Zhang Zhongxian can be the right minister, and he naturally has his ability.
Although Gongsun Nan is in the name of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, most of the real power is placed in the hands of the people below, and he usually doesn't ask except for important matters. Some people have long speculated that Gongsun Nan is afraid that it will not be long before he will resign and retire. didn't come up with Xinglan's thing, even if he was a good planner, he couldn't count that the three kings would propose to Gongsun Nan at the same time on the day of the recognition banquet. Then a series of events followed.
"Since ancient times, it has been the words of the parents to matchmaking, and when the daughter is older, she will find a good family to marry, so why is there a little trouble. Gongsun Nan said lightly on his face, but he was sad in his heart, Zhang Zhongxian did say that in terms of ideas, the planning for so long was to retreat into the background, and Xinglan's affairs did have branches.
"Brother Gongsun wants to marry his daughter, I'm afraid it's going to be a long queue again, you see how our dog is, if you like it, you can decide on a family affair now. Zhang Zhongxian was not too thick-skinned, and leaned in front of Gongsun Nan and said, it didn't look like a joke at all.
Gongsun Nan's face instantly turned stinky, "As for the person in your family who only knows how to stay in the house all day long, can read a book for a day and forgets to eat, our daughter can't afford it, but that girl from the Tang family is a perfect match for him, she is a nerd." "It's too boring to live with such a person for the rest of her life, and he doesn't want her daughter to face a wooden stake every day.
"Yo, why are you still thinking about King Duan as your son-in-law, I'm afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty. When Zhang Zhongxian heard Gongsun Nan's refusal, his old face couldn't hold back, and he said sourly.
"Old man Zhang! You can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. Gongsun Nan said with a straight face, it is about Xinglan's reputation, if this word is spread to the one above, it is not as simple as talking to himself.
"Did you say nonsense that you know in your heart, first it was King Duan's personal maid, and then he asked to marry at the marriage banquet, and finally the other two princes left, leaving only King Duan, if the old man remembers well, Diao Min rushed into Gongsun Mansion two days ago, and King Duan came forward to calm down. Zhang Zhongxian said cunningly, he had already investigated these things clearly.
"These don't seem to prove that the two of them have anything to do with each other, don't forget that Gongsun Yi has always been close to King Duan. "Gongsun Nan is not to be outdone, how can he not explain the matter of catching shadows in the wind.
"It doesn't matter if I don't believe it, the important thing is that others believe it too. Zhang Zhongxian said with a smile.
Out of the mansion, Sun Nan glanced back at the plaque on the gate. Twenty years ago, he was just a down-and-out scholar, and the acquaintance between the two was unremarkable, just like what is said in many dramas. I met by chance, talked about it freely, and suddenly felt like-minded, and hated to see each other late. So they became friends and rushed to the exam together. The down-and-out scholar was named the champion of high school on the gold list, and the two became officials in the same dynasty.
I don't know if God deliberately made things difficult, the two of them fell in love with a woman on the same day, in the same place, at the same time.
For this reason, the two made a private agreement to compete fairly, and no matter which of them was chosen by the young lady, the other party would automatically withdraw and no longer bother and bless. The chosen one must take care of her for the rest of her life, never abandon her, and devote herself wholeheartedly. If neither of them is unfortunate enough to get into the eyes of the beauty, then get drunk and find another beautiful woman.
