Chapter 18: Ostracized

Retreating early in the morning, Zeng Fan habitually followed the elders to the south study. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info In fact, the early dynasty generally didn't say anything, and the real policy of dealing with the government was in the south study, and the emperor and the elders discussed it.

And Emperor Zhengyang has been accustomed to having Zeng Fan draft a decree for him over the years. So Zeng Fan became the only one who was not a cabinet member over the years, but he was never absent.

"Busy lately?" An Yuan has also entered the cabinet and walked side by side with Zeng Fan.

"Are you alright?" Zeng Fan was stunned, thinking about how busy he has been recently? It seemed to be okay, he was a little worried about An Yuan Tixi'er's affairs, and his mind began to think about how to deal with it. The son is married, and people have already begun to ask about the daughter, and it is all from the family lineage. It shows that the wife is right, and the marriage with the He family represents a signal that they already have the capital to marry the family.

"I heard Lao He say that they got together, as if the Hunan Hall was going to do something, and they wanted to follow the discussion. I still thought, you're just afraid that you won't be idle recently, and my father wants to see you, but I stopped you. An Yuan said as if unintentionally.

Lord He was the family that Zeng Fan wanted to accept as his son-in-law, but Li Ping felt that although He Gongzi was talented, his health was not good and he refused. made Zeng Fan feel very sorry for this close friend. And An Yuan has been the boss of Lord He for many years and has formed a personal relationship. Because of this, they will feel that their daughter is better, and it is recommended that Zeng Fan choose the daughter of the He family as his daughter-in-law, and the friendship can be renewed, and Li Ping will not be mad. He didn't expect that his mother intervened early, which made An Yuan feel a little sorry for Lord He. When he returned to Beijing, he became more closely connected with this Lord He.

Zeng Fan was really stunned this time, these officials in Hunan would call him when they gathered, whether they had anything to do or not, who made him the highest official among Hunan officials. Although he is younger, in that circle, the right to speak is also extremely high. What does it mean to say that he was gathering for the Hunan Guild Hall now, and no one informed him.

He has also been in the officialdom for ten years, and he can move seven times in ten years, and it is not for nothing, although he was just stunned, but he immediately smiled at An Yuan, "My uncle is very involved in the Hunan Guild Hall, I am afraid that there are some things, and I should be allowed to avoid suspicion." ”

"It's the same reason, your identity is different now, you haven't changed, but in the eyes of others, you are no longer you." An Yuan let out a long sigh and said as if unintentionally.

If Zeng Fan couldn't hear An Yuan's intentions anymore, he would really be promoted to the second grade in vain, and smiled at An Yuan, "I change or don't change, what do I have to do with people?" Others see me change, that's someone else's business, what can I do? Still fix me. ”

"If you can think like this, if people are always choosing, you take a step back, it is you who are humble and generous. But I'm afraid that in the eyes of others, I still think you have something to ask for. Why bother! An Yuan sneered, his today is not in vain, in the name of his father, his success is easier than ordinary people, but the criticism he received is also unbearable for most people. He has come so far because he has survived. And just a kind reminder, seeing that Zeng Fan only lost his mind for a while, he was like no one, and An Yuan's heart was a little more peaceful. But soon he was a little jealous, when he was less than thirty-nine years old, he had Zeng Fan's determination. But think about it, when I was thirty-nine years old, I didn't rise to the second grade. Even if he has a Shousuke's own father.

"Yes!" Zeng Fan smiled and lowered his head at An Yuan, which could be regarded as expressing his gratitude for his prompt. At this time, Zeng Fan's mind had already begun to recall how long he hadn't seen those people from the Hunan Gang, and when he hadn't seen each other.

Zeng Fan quickly remembered that the last thing he saw these days was Lord He, even if he rejected Lord He's suggestion at the beginning, Lord He was also a humble gentleman and didn't seem to take it to heart. Unlike the other two, it seems awkward even when they meet. Zeng Fan was still thinking about whether to let Li Ping invite back guests, they would get together again, and some words would always have to be made clear.

And he finally saw that Lord He was a little monkey to marry, after all, the little monkey was his only son, and the object of the marriage was the illustrious He family, so that he and the An family that he married to the He family's aunt and the Qian family that Huiwen was going to marry, all of a sudden had an indirect kinship, did he dare not feast? This is the face of the He family.

That day, the Hunan Gang seemed to have only come to the He family. Everyone else shirked the matter, and just gave the gift. At that time, Li Ping still complained, but Zeng Fan didn't think much about it. But then, he began to feel like a sluggish guy.

You must know that 'Zeng He's marriage' did not cause much turmoil in Beijing, although everyone felt a little surprised when they heard it, but they soon felt that it was very reasonable. Zeng Fan is An Xiang's proud protégé, and the He family is Mrs. An's maiden family. The relationship between the Zeng He family is very good, and the children of the two families always play together, and it is only natural for them to become good friends with Qin and Jin.

Of course, this is also the idea of some friends who are familiar with their two families, but for some Qingliu, especially the families of Hunan officials, it is a bit dazzling. Their common idea is that Zeng Fan is a hypocrite, who will always only take the upper line and collude with the powerful. But that's not why they didn't come to the little monkey engagement feast.

Little monkeys are engaged, what can they have to do with them? But they were all rejected by Li Ping. Although they were talking about Xiaoxi'er's marriage at that time, Li Ping refused all of them mercilessly.

Even if they were just casually tempted at the beginning, they were rejected, and they were somewhat unhappy. The He family is considered a righteous gentleman, but speaking of which, in fact, the most angry person is him.

He is very fond of his eldest son, and the eldest son did not disappoint him, he felt that his son was no worse than the so-called 'Four Masters of Zengmen', those people who carried the sedan chair were only touted for the sake of Zeng Fan's official position.

When Zeng Fan mentioned whether he wanted to be a son and daughter with him in his 'casual talk', Zeng Fan was obviously very happy, and Zeng Fan was also full of praise for his son at that time. When he went home, he told his wife and son that he would prepare some gifts and go to Mrs. Zeng to settle the family affairs.

But I didn't expect that the next day, before Mrs. went out, Zeng Fan's letter arrived, apologized very sincerely, and lied for a long time, saying that her daughter was not worthy of them, and agreed to cancel.

How can Master He bear it, he told his wife and son, and also praised the daughter and wife of the Zeng family for a long time, of course, he has never seen it, but the evaluation of Miss Zeng is still very high. Otherwise, why did he mention it to Zeng Fan? Lord He's face was hot all day long.

Later, the Zeng family rejected the two families, and Lord He was not angry, because he felt that the Zeng family didn't even fancy his own son, so he naturally looked down on others. But I still didn't swallow that breath.

It wasn't until the Zeng family and the He family got married that Lord He finally broke out.
