I have long heard Zong Zhengjin say that when it comes to the talent for reading, the second uncle and grandfather are the best among their three brothers. When his second uncle and grandfather were young, they also went to Jingting Academy to study, and they studied there for three years.

However, after returning from the academy, he went from being an able-bodied person to a cripple who lacked a leg. He never said what happened, and he hated the other two brothers so much that they almost hit the Great Qi Empire and went to the Mirror Court Academy to seek justice.

Since then, the second uncle and grandfather have stopped thinking about entering the imperial examination and focused on the family business. In the second year of his tenure, the income of the public school increased by a third!

Until now, even if the three brothers have separated, some of the property of the other two brothers is still entrusted to the second uncle and grandfather. This shows how deep the friendship between the three brothers is about mutual trust.

Zong Zhengke had already visited his second uncle and grandfather, and he had great respect and admiration for this resolute elder. It can be said that this vein can have today's scenery, although the eldest uncle and grandfather have contributed a lot, but if it lacks the financial support of the second uncle and grandfather, it is impossible.

The second uncle and grandfather no longer took the imperial examination, but he still couldn't release the papers. The Somasa Scholar Library is the largest library in the Tenyuki Province, and it is said that even the collection of the Imperial Library is not as good as the collection, which is all due to him.

The carriage in which he traveled, not to mention how luxurious and comfortable, stood out to a small bookshelf on which a number of books he had been studying had been studying lately.

After Zong Zhengke boarded the carriage, he quickly glanced at the bookshelves, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Obviously, the second uncle and grandfather were well-read and had a wide range of hobbies. On his bookshelf, there are only books such as the subset of classics and history, poetry and songs, military books and geography that men like, and there are even novels and legends that women love to read.

The second uncle and grandfather were half-bedded, and a young and jade-looking girl held a beauty mallet to loosen his muscles and bones. Seeing that Zong Zhengke was coming, he smiled gently, motioned for her to sit down, and ordered the girl to pour tea: "Last time, I got some of the snow mountain gold leaves you loved to drink." ”

Zong Zhengke immediately smiled and pulled out a book from his sleeve pocket. Holding both hands to the second uncle's grandfather: "You mentioned before that you had never read the original of this book, but I brought it to you today." ”

The second uncle's grandfather's eyes sparkled, and he took the book as if he grabbed it, and at a glance he knew that it was the original that he had been thinking about for a long time. I don't know what to do. He said, "You must have taken it from Mr. Banguo, right?" Is Mr. Banguo annoyed? ”

Zong Zhengke shook his head and said with a smile: "The strange stone you asked me to bring to my grandfather, my grandfather loves it like a treasure. As soon as he heard me say that you have been looking for this book for a long time, he took it and gave it to you without saying a word. ”

"Then it's disrespectful!" The second uncle and grandfather were busy with the girl ring to get the bookcase, and he wanted to store the book first. Let's take a closer look at it in the future.

I put away the books for a while, and gossiped about homely things. The second uncle and grandfather talked about seeing the eldest princess of Kunshan with their own eyes a few days ago, and sighed: "The heavenly family is ruthless, and it is really good." is also the eldest princess who was once pampered, but she fell to the point of selling herself to the Qinglou. ”

Zong Zhengke also knows about this. On the day of the Empress Dowager's decree, the eldest princess of Kunshan was put back first. What was waiting for her was the consequence of the eldest princess's mansion and the Anguo mansion's refusal. As for the palace, she didn't even want to go back.

Because she was deposed as a concubine, her clothes were all violated. So he was quickly picked up by the people in the yamen and ended up penniless. Finally, the clothes were still made of the best clothes, so she went to the clothes shop to change clothes and change into clothes to avoid the cold.

The eldest princess who appeared on the streets of Tianxingjing again has been reduced to the point where even ordinary women are inferior. Obviously, she hated the queen mother and the emperor, and people who had a relationship with her in the past avoided her. Those people she had offended before, even if they didn't dare to come openly, secretly made many stumbling blocks for her.

At first, it was just a cautious trial, but then I saw that Kunshan was so unlucky. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor did not say a word. The two princesses of Taicheng and Yicheng, as well as the Anguo Mansion in Beijing, were also silent, and those people became more and more bold.

It can be said that in the past few days, the former eldest princess of Kunshan and the current wasted Murong Chun are better than dead. Although she is fierce and domineering. But just a weak woman. In the face of the beatings, bullying, and insults of those strong men, even if she resisted with all her might, it would be useless.

So, under the pressure of pain, hunger and cold, Murong Chun, who gave up on himself, actually ran to the largest green building in Tianxingjing and sold himself!

But. Zong Zhengke already knew that the Anguo Mansion finally dispatched the mansion and dragged Murong Chun, who was laughing madly in front of the Qinglou, back to the mansion and imprisoned him, waiting for Mrs. Wen to enter Beijing before she was released.

Zong Zhengke had no intention of seeing Murong Chun's miserable appearance now, but one day, she would go to see this good imperial sister in her previous life. I don't know, after the good royal sister was treated so badly, did she want to do anything - such as biting some people?

Retracting his thoughts, Zong Zhengke said to his second uncle's grandfather: "It's getting colder and colder, you also have to be careful of your body, don't be greedy for books at night." ”

"Good! Listen to you. The second uncle and grandfather laughed and said, "Yesterday, Yi'er sent a letter back, saying that at the end of the year, she should be promoted to another level. Ke'er, you don't have to plan for her. ”

Zong Zhengke smiled: "You can misunderstand, I didn't say anything good about my cousin. This should be the kindness of Concubine Xiao. ”

The second uncle's grandfather's eyes flashed slightly, and he only nodded, and did not say anything more about this matter. Whether it is Zong Zhengke's dual identity or Zong Zhengxiu's wife's affairs, he is one of the insiders.

He diverted the topic and said, "You asked about the grain, rice and cotton shops in the clan, but what are your plans?" ”

Zong Zheng smiled and said slowly: "Please be careful about this matter, it's only early winter and it's so cold, I'm afraid it's cold this winter!" ”

The second uncle and grandfather nodded slowly, and did not question Zong Zhengke's assertion. Venerable Su Hui is so famous, and there is a precedent for predicting the flood in Yuyan County in advance, she said that this winter is very cold, so it will definitely not be fake.

"Our family has warehouses in several grain-producing counties, and Yanlin County is the largest grain-producing area, but there is nothing to be done about it because the Yan family is guarding an iron bucket." The second uncle grandfather said.

Zong Zhengke said lightly: "There will be no problems with the Yan family. When I was in Yuchuan County and Yunhang Prefecture, I used to order people to secretly buy grain and cotton, and now I have a lot of storage on hand. Even if it cannot shake the foundation of a country, it is enough to have a huge impact on the government and the opposition. "Most of her money was invested in it.

The second uncle and grandfather bowed his head lightly and promised: "The clan will fully cooperate!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, Zong Zhengke's ears moved slightly, and he said with joy: "It should be that Tanma has returned." ”

In a moment, someone reported outside the carriage that Zong Zhengjin's convoy was less than two miles away from the city gate. (To be continued.) )
