Chapter 176: Face
Zhang Qicheng told Deng Juntang some things about the Yu family, the Shen family, and the Yao family.
"The Yu family has left Beijing, and the Shen family has not bought the land of Xuanfu, and the emperor has ordered that the salt in the border towns in the future shall not be exchanged for cash, and now Li Chengmao and Chen Wenshi, who adhere to the ancestral system, can be regarded as profitable."
Deng Juntang never expected such a result, he happily came to Beijing, and now he is being beaten on the head.
Deng Juntang has also heard about Cui Yiting, but how could the Yao family buy land, how powerful will Miss Yao Qi, the eldest lady in the boudoir, be, Zhang Qicheng's daughter is her stepmother, and a stepmother can't control the young lady under her.
Even if the queen mother rewarded Miss Yao Qi, the queen mother liked many young ladies, not necessarily how special she was, if she wanted to deal with a woman, whether it was from reputation or marriage, there were many ways, and she couldn't help it.
Zhang Qicheng said: "That's not the boudoir lady who doesn't go out of the door, when she was in Taixing, she personally gave her uncle to the government, and when she came to Beijing, she was angry with her grandfather, and now she sells new tea, and the tea shops in Beijing are selling her tea and purple clay pots, and she also sent new tea to the palace." ”
Deng Juntang sneered, "What a woman who can't do anything." ”
Zhang Qicheng glanced at Deng Juntang with raised eyes.
Yao Wanning's fault is that she should not maintain the Shen family, since she has gained a firm foothold in the Yao family, she should find ways to marry herself, the Shen family is a big businessman, and the businessmen who have been doing business abroad in the past few years are inextricably linked with the businessmen of Nanzhili, and a slight mistake will cause trouble.
A smart person should borrow the Shen family's money and keep a distance from the Shen family immediately after turning over. Instead of relying on your own mantis arm as a car.
For the Shen family, Yao Wanning also sold tea.
Without the protection of an official position, no matter how big a businessman is, he is also at the mercy of others. Don't think that if you don't sell tea as a salt merchant, you will be fine, tea is the same as tea politics.
A young lady in the inner house has something to do with the temple, and no one can protect her.
Now although Yoga Jun has been calculated by her, it is just a temporary loss, sooner or later she will turn over, how much can Yao Wanning rely on. At the critical moment, Yao Yiwen will only keep his official reputation.
Zhang Qicheng remembered one thing, "How is the marriage between the virtuous nephew and the Marquis of Yong'an?" ”
Speaking of this, Deng Juntang's eyebrows raised again. "In the spring of next year, my father will ask Baoshan to send a wedding post."
Zhang Qicheng said with a smile: "Yong'an Hou is in charge of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and he has won the trust of the emperor, and now that the two of you have married, it will be much more convenient to do whatever you do in the future." ”
Deng Juntang thought of Pei Minghui. Last year he went to Pei's house. Hearing that Pei Minghui was in the garden, he slipped over quietly, but he didn't expect to be found by Pei Minghui and made a big noise, saying that he was not good enough and wanted to push off this family business. Let her cry and cry and beg her to get all his face back.
But I didn't expect to see that the wedding date had arrived. Pei Minghui was sick.
What if you're sick? As long as there is still a breath, I will marry into the Deng family.
Speaking of this, Deng Juntang looked outside, "Why don't you see Brother Chuanling." ”
Zhang Chuanling is Zhang Qicheng's only son, and he is a dragon on weekdays......
Speaking of this son, Zhang Qicheng's expression became gloomy.
……
Wanning looked at the needle in her mother's hand, the needle went so fast, she only felt that her eyes were sour after looking at it for a long time.
"Will it be?"
Wan Ning was confused and shook her head.
Why can't she learn embroidery, it's also a stitch and a thread, and after a while, the threads will be entangled, the front can still be seen, and the back is a mess.
Shen couldn't help sighing, "You're so smart, why can't you do needlework?" What should I do when I make a dowry in the future? ”
Wan Ning suddenly remembered Cui Yiting's words, she never felt that she was old enough to get married, she was only thirteen years old, who could think about this at the age of thirteen.
Wan Ning took the needle and thread and embroidered it under the guidance of her mother, and after embroidering for a while, she felt that the thread was messy, not as smooth as her mother's embroidery, and Wan Ning leaned her head on her mother's shoulder.
Mother's shoulders were warm, and the soft mink fur was against her cheeks, "Mother, I'd better stop learning." "With this effort, she might as well read more books and draw more pictures.
"You," Shen was helpless, "how can you learn, if you marry someone in the future, you still have to make your husband's clothes?" ”
Wan Ning smiled and didn't speak.
Shen glanced at the hourglass, "Are you okay today?" Not in a hurry to go back? ”
"Don't worry, I'll sleep at my mother's place for a while before leaving."
By her mother's side, she slept peacefully.
As soon as Wan Ning put down the needle and thread, Brother Kun's voice came from outside, "Sister is here?" ”
Luo Yu said: "It's coming, it's in the house." ”
The subordinate lifted the curtain, Brother Kun walked into the inner room quickly, and when he saw Shen and Wan Ning, Brother Kun smiled and saluted, and then sat down to talk to Shen and Wan Ning.
Shen looked at Brother Kun with a smile, "Came back so early?" ”
Brother Kun nodded, "Sir, I have something to do in the past two days, let me go to study again after a while." ”
Even if it was the Xia Yuan Festival, Mr. Yang Jing had only let Brother Kun rest for half a day, but now he couldn't go to school for several days, Wan Ning looked at Brother Kun, "Have you heard anything about it?" ”
Brother Kun nodded, "Mr. The old friend of the same list came to visit, and there was also an adult in the official uniform, and the gentleman said a few words in the past, and personally ordered me to go home first." ”
Seeing a friend, I didn't have to go to class for several days, Mr. Yang Jing entered Beijing this time because of something, I don't know if it has something to do with it.
Mr. Yang Jing is much stricter than ordinary gentlemen, Brother Kun's schoolwork does not dare to relax for a moment, as long as there is a little negligence, he will be punished, Wanning heard Brother Kun say that a few days ago because of Jiang Zhong's matter, Brother Kun was distracted, and was scolded by Mr. Yang Jing.
Mr. Yang Jing said that to learn, you must concentrate on learning, so that you can be worthy of books, or you don't need to play casually without learning, and you don't need to bother to teach like him.
Brother Kun thought for a moment and raised his head, "Auntie, sister." You said that Mr. Yang Jing would not teach me, right? Mr. Yang Jing is so good to me, I really don't want to change Mr. "The gentleman beats him and scolds him. But he will leave the best food for him to eat, and if there is anything he doesn't understand in the books, the husband will always tell him in a different way, and he used to be afraid of him, but now he can't do without him.
Shen Shi was a little surprised, and comforted Brother Kun softly, "Since Mr. has accepted you." In a few days, you will be allowed to go to school. ”
Brother Kun nodded, but he was still a little absent-minded.
Brother Kun sat for a while and then went back to read, and Shen couldn't help but sigh. "I like to read more than anyone else, and I'm still learning to ride horses and shoot archery, and I don't know which way I want to go in the future."
Let Brother Kun bother like this, Wanning is no longer sleepy. I followed my mother and looked at the ledger. Then take the car back to Yao's house.
After getting into the carriage, Wan Ning instructed Tong's mother, "Tell my aunt if there is any news from Mr. Yang Jing's side, send someone to sue me." "Brother Kun seems to be overly worried, but ...... That's exactly what she's afraid of.
Mother Tong nodded.
……
Zhang listened to Brother Huan recite "Thousand Words", and tears gradually appeared in his eyes.
"Madam, take a break!" For example, my mother came forward to help Zhang's family. Zhang shook his hand.
"That's what Mr. will teach." Brother Huan blinked.
A smile appeared on Zhang's sallow face, "Go ahead." Go again...... Take a look at the book...... These days...... Learn more from Mr. ”
Brother Huan said: "I'm done learning...... Can I go to the garden to play in the snow? ”
Zhang Shi sank his face and shook his head, "No, how can you play in the snow on such a cold day." ”
Brother Huan lowered his head in disappointment.
The nurse hurriedly said: "If the eighth master likes it, let people bring the snow into the house to take a look." ”
Zhang nodded, his voice hoarse, "Just look, don't touch it with your hands," he paused as he spoke, "Let Fan's mother play with her." ”
Fan's mother has a lot of rules, and when she heard Zhang's words say this, Brother Huan's eyebrows that had just been raised suddenly fell again.
The nurse took Brother Huan away, and the Zhang family lay down, like a mother serving the Zhang family, and said in a low voice: "The mother over there in the Duke's Mansion came to see the wife, and I heard that the wife was asleep, so I didn't let the slave wake up the wife." ”
"Is there anything going on?" Zhang looked tired.
Ru's mother said: "I heard that Mr. Yang Jing can no longer teach the son of Master Shen Si. ”
Zhang's eyes lit up suddenly.
That was the gentleman she asked someone to find for Brother Huan, but she didn't expect to be taken by Shen Jingyuan when she was in Taixing, she has always been indignant in her heart, and now it's okay, Yang Jing can no longer teach the Shen family.
Zhang Shi took a breath, "Shang Jia, even Shang Jia, is also worthy of learning from others to read." "Thinking about the Shen family, thinking about the Shen family and Yao Wanning, her chest felt like it was about to crack.
She was sick in bed, and Shen must have been very proud when she heard such news.
Zhang's eyes were about to burst into flames, "Okay...... Good...... I can't invite anyone...... No one else wants to invite them. ”
"Is there any news from Miss Seven?" Zhang asked.
If my mother doesn't know what to say.
Several tea shops of the Shen family are very lively, I thought that business would be weak after a while, who knows...... There are still quite a few people waiting to buy tea.
For example, his mother persuaded Zhang in a low voice, "Mrs. is now going to take care of her body, and ...... else More on that later. ”
Zhang panted slowly, and in front of him was Yao Wanning's sparse smile, as her mother said correctly, she had to take care of her illness, and then slowly deal with Yao Wanning when she was well.
"Madam, the eldest princess of Jianing is here." Zijuan walked quickly into the room to say goodbye.
The eldest princess is here.
Zhang Shi suddenly felt joy and bitterness, and an indescribable discomfort, the person she liked to see the most in the past was now like a mountain pressing on her heart.
Zhang pursed his lips, "Quick...... Invite the eldest princess in......"
A few days ago, she went to the eldest princess's mansion to visit the patient, and in the blink of an eye, the sick person became her.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Zhang raised his eyes to look over.
The eldest princess of Jianing led people into the inner room.
The eldest princess's fair face was flushed, her eyebrows and eyes were full of vitality, and her whole person suddenly brightened.
