Chapter 178: Gongsun Xi: This is simply too sad...
Remember [Lewen] in a second. Alas, for you to read wonderfully.
"The Sheng family will not actually threaten the status of the Zhao family, at least in the past ten or twenty years. Sheng Weiqiao analyzed one by one, "Because my brother Yuan'er is still young, what about the cousins, so far, although the temperament is kind, there is no shrewdness and ability!"
Even if it is among the elders, "it is only that my grandfather and my father can be officials, but my grandfather is old, and my father has to take care of the family business, even if my father puts down the family business and recovers in the future, he is just one person." ”
Like their two uncles, Sheng Lansi and Sheng Lanzi, even if they were forcibly given to the officials, eighty percent would be a disadvantage.
With Sheng Weiqiao's understanding of his father and grandfather, he would never agree to give them an official status, and if he wanted to give a loose official with an empty title and no real power, the right should be a white-collar court salary.
"The Feng family and the Xuan Yu family, the eldest son is not a leader. ”
"My aunt is involved in my cousin's son, and Xi'er under my cousin's knees is still young, and maybe because my cousin and my cousin-in-law have a similar relationship, after having Xi'er, there is no movement. ”
"Even if there are other heirs in the Xuanyu family, the overall family is prosperous, but the relationship between my aunt and the people of the Xuanyu family is not good, to be precise, it is very bad. ”
"Therefore, it is too late for my aunt to suppress those people!"
"Not to mention promoting them to be officials!"
"If the Feng family is concerned, the eldest uncle and eldest cousin will inherit the family business, and most of them will not be successful. ”
Although it is said that Shinong is more glorious than doing business, the risk of eunuchs is also great, and the Feng family is a powerful family of a time-honored brand in Nanfeng County, and they will never throw away their ancestral business because of a momentary situation.
Therefore, on the Feng family's side, there may only be children other than the eldest son and eldest grandson.
And then there is not even a talent among them......
It is really difficult to get into a high position in this situation, after all, although Zheng Guogong and his three brothers are not famous, they are the queen mother's brother and the emperor's uncle, right?
From this point of view, the three families in Nanfeng County actually do not have the second capital of the Meng family, and they will not rely on the advantages of their in-laws to squeeze the interests of the real heroes.
As for the Xu family and the Luo family, the Luo family has just signed a marriage contract with the Sheng family, and Sheng Weiqiao has never seen his quasi-sister-in-law until now, and the relationship is estranged.
And the situation of the Xu family is similar to that of the Sheng family: three generations of single transmission, the old marquis Xu is old, even if Xu Zijing, Xu Baomo and his son are talented...... There are only two people in total.
"Looking at it this way, it's the Tortoiseshell Island and the Jishan Camp that are the big ones?" Sheng Weiqiao pinched his eyebrows and said in his heart, "This is a trouble, Zhao Shi is the general of Huaihua, these two are also closely related to military power, and they defected to Mizhen earlier than Zhao Shi, how can Zhao Shi not worry that after he defected with the Northern Frontier Army, he would have to rank behind them?"
"It's not as good as this. On this question half a day later, on the way to departure, Gongsun Xi, who had been summoned into the carriage to talk, came up with a "good idea": "Isn't General Huaihua's eldest son already married for many years, and there are several sons and daughters under his knees?" Niangniang is now pregnant, and when she turns around, she will make an agreement with General Huaihua that if she is a small county lord, she will allow General Huaihua's eldest grandson to be his wife; if she is a prince, she will marry General Huaihua's youngest granddaughter! Wouldn't this make the relationship closer?"
Sheng Weiqiao: "................................................"
She calmed down for a moment before she said, "What if the two children don't join the contract in the future?
"Niangniang hasn't given birth yet!" Gongsun Xi said indifferently, "How can it take more than ten years for the child to grow up to be able to get married, right? After more than ten years, maybe the world will be the master of the county, and when the time comes, I can't look down on the descendants of General Huaihua, hint that even if the Zhao family is not interested, there are people who help them understand the interest! If Niangniang feels embarrassed, when the time comes, you can say it in private, and your subordinates will do it!"
Is it really good for you to cross the river and tear down the bridge like this?Sheng Weiqiao said speechlessly: "This is too bad, isn't it?!"
Gongsun Xi said: "Those who achieve great things are not informal. Besides, what General Huaihua wants is just a reassurance, the county king is not a cronyism in the first place, and when he looks back, he sees the courage of the county king, and Bacheng doesn't care so much about marriage!"
"I still don't think it's appropriate. Sheng Weiqiao thought for a while, and said, "My child hasn't landed yet, where can I just sell it?"
"The subordinates remember that Niangniang has a good relationship with the county lord of Huiyi...... Gongsun Xi was interrupted by Sheng Weiqiao in the middle of speaking: "You have the idea of beating the seventh sister less!!"
Gongsun Xi opened his mouth, but before he could speak this time, Sheng Weiqiao was already alert: "Yuan'er is even more impossible!! you will die of the heart of marriage, right!!?"
"The subordinate didn't know what to do. Gongsun said regretfully, "Do you want to write a letter and ask the king of the county...... Mr. Leyang by your side?"
Halfway through speaking, seeing Sheng Weiqiao glaring at him viciously, he remembered that the master had just told him not to let Rong Sleepy Crane know that they planned to give up going to Chang'an and instead divert to northern Xinjiang, so he changed his words stiffly, "After all, Mr. Leyang has always been a military advisor to the Jishan Battalion, so he must have a lot of ideas?"
"What if Mr. Leyang tells Mi Zhen?" Sheng Weiqiao hated that iron could not be made of steel, "Even if you don't tell Mi Zhen, this gentleman seems to have a close relationship with my maternal grandfather, what if he thinks that it is too unsafe for me to go north while I am pregnant, and quietly writes to my maternal grandfather or something, and stops me halfway?"
Gongsun Xi thought about it, but he was frustrated, and secretly thought: "Isn't Lao Tzu really the material for both wisdom and bravery?!
He thought it was so sad!
I really want to go out and kill a few people......
"Forget it, it's not a way for us to guess out of thin air here, let's wait until we go to Northern Xinjiang and see General Huaihua in person!" Sheng Weiqiao thought for a moment and said, "What we have to think about now is how to persuade Lu Shiyu and them to agree that we go north to meet General Huaihua!"
When Lu Shiyu first heard Sheng Weiqiao say that he was going to northern Xinjiang, he felt inexplicable: "Why does Niangniang want to go to Northern Xinjiang? That place is even more bitter and cold than Western Xinjiang, and this season is especially dripping into ice, that is, the last general has been there for decades, and I still feel unbearable, Niangniang is a native of Nanfeng County, how can I stand such a climate? Especially when you are still pregnant!"
Cheng Meizhu also helped: "If there is anything to do, please tell the last general!"
"I just thought that this time I had to get out of the tiger's mouth, thanks to the command of the two generals and the lives of the soldiers. Sheng Weiqiao said, "Tracing back to the source, but it is the love of the eldest uncle! Thinking that I am about to turn the new year when I get married, but I have not yet met the eldest uncle, so I plan to go to the north and thank you in person!"
Lu Shiyu and Cheng Meizhu glanced at each other, and both said: "General Huaihua is the uncle of the prince of the county, and of course he looks at his mother as if he was his own daughter! As long as he knows that his mother is good, General Huaihua will be relieved! If Niang Niang goes to the north to thank him in person for this, but teaches General Huaihua how to be safe?"
After politely refusing, the two hurriedly retired with Sheng Weiqiao under the pretext that they still had military affairs to deal with.
Then he ran to the corner in a hurry to discuss: "Lijie, did you hear it?"
"This princess is young, and she doesn't know how to go around in circles. Cheng Meizhu nodded, "Or maybe she didn't plan to go around in circles...... In short, if she wants to go to Northern Xinjiang, it is definitely not, or it is not just to thank General Huaihua, there must be other requests!"
Lu Shiyu said: "This request has nothing to do with the current situation in Western Xinjiang...... Otherwise, she is a dignified princess, why would she have to drag her pregnancy for a long journey?"
He groaned and said, "I just don't know if this move is the princess's own intention, or is it arranged by the county princess in advance?"
Cheng Meizhu was a little surprised: "It is said that the county princess is very fond of this princess, and on the eve of Ruru's invasion this time, he specially asked us to escort her out of the western frontier, which shows his love." How can you be willing to let the princess of the county go to the north in person?"
"The king of Mizhen County is both talented and good-looking, and he also has luck. Lu Shiyu narrowed his eyes and said, "But luck does not mean that it will be smooth sailing, and the current situation in Western Xinjiang is his catastrophe." In the past, the carp turned into a dragon, and the future is limitless from now on, even if it is the prince of Gaomi, it will be difficult to dominate him in the future!"
"If you can't get by, it's naturally all Huti!"
"I can see this, General Huaihua, Gaomi Wangye, Meng's family, etc., many people know it in their hearts. ”
"The king of the county himself, how can he not know?"
"At such a critical time, the princess of the county, who is one with his husband and wife, does not contribute, who will contribute?"
"Then ......" Cheng Meizhu thought for a while and said, "General, do you think we should agree to this matter?" Or do you need to change the route now whether you go to Chang'an or Northern Xinjiang, hurry up and send someone to ask General Huaihua?"
Lu Shiyu said: "Such an important matter, of course, I asked General Huaihua!"
Cheng Meizhu hesitated for a while and said, "It is said that since General Huaihua is in charge of this kind of thing, we should not talk too much as our subordinates." It's just that the prince of Gaomi has three sons under his knees, and the second prince is no one to care about and doesn't say anything, just the words of the prince and the king of the county...... Maybe I've been in the north for a long time. ”
He didn't finish his words, but Lu Shiyu already understood what he meant: "Our sons and daughters in the army have always admired people who have real talents and work hard and do not rely on their father's shadow. However, this is a big matter, this is not to say that whoever you like can pull him to have a drink, but it is related to the overall situation of the court and the future of the family...... Let General Huaihua decide!"
"Of course. Cheng Meizhu found out that Lu Shiyu actually felt that Rong Sleeping Crane was more suitable to be the successor of King Gaomi than Rong Qingchu, and accepted it when he saw it, and said angrily, "I just thought that Fu Zhen was also considered a wise man in Ruru, and he was the person who regretted that Ruru Khan Dengchen Liyu did not have a killer, and he was coaxed and deceived by the king of the county to take it down, this is really ......."
The news that Rong Sleeping Crane had captured and preliminarily surrendered Na Fu Zhen was sent over last night, but because Rong Sleeping Crane still had other plans, it was inconvenient to make public the matter of Na Fu Zhen being forced to surrender now; So I told Lu Shiyu and Cheng Meizhu not to leak the news.
"The messenger sent by the king of the county kept saying that the reason why he had caught up with us to inform him of this matter was to reassure us that there would be no pursuers in the rear for the time being, and that he would also credit the two of us with this merit in the future. Cheng Meizhu thought at the moment, "This move seems to be considerate, but in fact it is not without the intention of demonstrating, so that we know that he is not only a literary talent, judging the situation, using calculations, eloquence, the courage to take risks in person, and the sense of proportion between fiction and reality...... He's got it all!"
Therefore, even without Zhao Shi's help, maybe he can survive!
It's just that by that time, the relationship between the uncle and nephew will inevitably have a gap.
Cheng Meizhu, as Xu Zijing's confidant, has long been advised by Xu Zijing to try her best to beat the side drum for Rong Sleeping Crane, and at this moment, she naturally wants to emphasize Rong Sleeping Crane's talent and future in front of Lu Shiyu.
