At present, although the business kingdom of Gao Pragmatic has spread greatly, it is still centered on the Gyeonggi area in general, so Gao Pragmatic is reluctant to leave Beijing for too long. Going back to Xinzheng for the exam, by the way, agreeing on the exhibition here in Henan, this is understandable, but it is not good to stay in Henan for too long, and if you don't get it right, it will even reduce his influence in the palace.

Besides, this time back to Henan for a year, he not only took the Jinghua Bank as a link, so that the Jinghua Henan Cement Factory and the Huguang grain production area on the line, but also founded the Jinghua porcelain on the basis of Jun porcelain can only be called Yu porcelain, although the output is now lower, but somewhat restore the appearance of porcelain production in the origin of Jun porcelain. Overall, there are a lot of things to do, and it's time to go back to Beijing.

Listening to his explanation, the Zhang family also knew that he couldn't force him to stay, so he couldn't help sighing, and said: "Zhong Lingyuxiu in our sixth room is squeezing you alone, and I don't know if it's good or bad, although your younger brothers are also working hard, but for the mother, I can see that they probably don't have the talent like you, and if you can't be promoted in the future, you have to leave some places for them." ”

"Well, my son also thinks about these things, and he will never ask his brother to be idle and fat."

Zhang sneered, and then feigned anger: "What kind of fat, how can you talk as a brother!" Then he looked at his son, who was already a head taller than himself, and suddenly said: "By the way, most of the children of ordinary people are considering getting married after taking the exam, but before you were too old to be a member of the exam, and your father didn't worry about this matter, and now you have become a Yuan Lang, this matter is on the agenda, what do you have to like the girl?" ”

Gao pragmatic shook his head: "Mother, I'm only seventeen years old, it's still early, don't worry." ”

It's early, but it's actually early. Don't think that the ancients all married very early, and the official families who didn't worry about money, especially the families of the civil and official sequence, many children got married late, especially the kind of people who performed well, the more they were not in a hurry to get married.

This is actually very easy to understand: if you marry a wife as a student, and marry a new science and technology scholar, the conditions for "general matching" are very different. Therefore, many children of eunuchs who think they have the opportunity to be admitted to the Jinshi are not in a hurry to marry a wife, for example, Gao Gong was quite late when he got married, and even Gao Gong's pragmatic father Gao Yan has reached the twenty-fourth and fifth five.

But Zhang's thinking was obviously different, she shook her head and said, "You're going to try it next year!" For my mother to see your momentum, it shouldn't be difficult to get a Jinshi, and then it will be the Jinshi master, and it is natural to marry a wife. What's more, your conditions are that you can't find the second emperor's companion in the whole world, the nephew of Gao Wenzhenggong, the eighteen-year-old Jinshi master, and the world's richest people. ”

When Zhang said this, he seemed to be happy, and said with a smile: "With such conditions, I am afraid that people who are willing to marry their daughters to you will not be arranged from Xinzheng to Jingshi, no matter how you say that you have to check as a mother, you can't be arbitrary." ”

Who knew that Gao Shishi's face was solemn, and he said seriously: "Mother, it is precisely because of this that you must not be in a hurry about this matter, because the impact is great." ”

If you are familiar with Gao Pragmatic, as long as you look at his expression, you should know that this guy must be ready to start fooling again.

But although Zhang is Gao Pragmatic's mother, but because he has not been with Gao Pragmatic all these years, he does not know his temperament so well. ”

Gao Shishi's face was solemn, his expression was even a little heavy, and he said slowly: "Does my mother know the situation in Beijing?" ”

Zhang's face was at a loss: "You are just a relative, what does it have to do with the situation in Beijing?" ”

Gao pragmatic did not answer, but said: "Mother, do you know what Gao Dang said?" ”

Zhang waved his hand: "I've heard a lot, a few years ago, after your third uncle Wen Zhenggong became Gu Mingfu, Weiniang heard it countless times in Henan." ”

Gao pragmatically said: "That's it, my Gao family is a real learning sect, the Gao family has been ruling the world for nearly ten years since the third uncle, and the protégés and officials are all over the world, if the son wants to get married, should he first consider these families related to my Gao family?" ”

"Uh" Zhang thought and nodded, "There is some truth to this." ”

"But it's not that simple." Gao pragmatic said: "The third uncle is no longer there, if the Gao family only considers these allies and protégés, then the forces of other factions will never intersect, and even because of the lack of the third uncle's deterrence, there may be conflicts with them."

"Oh, you mean" Zhang was not stupid, and immediately said: "You can also consider marrying with those factions with different political views, so as to be less attacked, so that your teacher can steadily hand over power to your uncle, and your uncle will hand over power to you in the future?" ”

Yes? Who taught you, my dear mother! It's terrible to say that!

Seeing his son's nervous face, Zhang looked around, waved his hand and said: "There is no one else here, I saw your arrangement a few years ago, last time your uncle returned to his hometown to recuperate, I also met with him, and he also suspected that this was arranged by your third uncle, Wenzhenggong, a long time ago." ”

Isn't it, the relationship between your brothers and sisters is so iron?

Gao Pragmatic was a little stunned, but after thinking about it, he realized a little: I don't know if my uncle is deliberately revealing his tone, maybe he wants to learn from me through his mother whether the third uncle had this idea at the beginning, and if so, has he arranged any follow-up?

Then the plan will be calculated. Gao Shishi coughed dryly: "This third uncle has such considerations. He quietly paid attention to his mother's expression, and sure enough, he saw a moment of relief between his mother's eyebrows.

Gao pragmatic immediately said: "But mother, the problems related to my family affairs are not only like this. ”

"And?" Zhang was taken aback: "Who else?" ”

Gao pragmatic said: "There are also honors and generals." ”

"Xungui and Jiangmen?" When the Zhang family heard this, he frowned, shook his head and said: "Although this dynasty only restricts the royal family and the clan from marrying the ministers of civil and military affairs, the marriage between the noble generals and the family of the civil and military ministers is often alive, but you also have to see how they get married." The daughter of the prince is great, so she marries a prefect and a politician, how many of them marry into the ministry family? Not to mention that the pavilion is old! What is your identity, and which noble family is worthy of marrying you? Wei Guogong or Cheng Guogong? As for the door, it is needless to say. You have been with your third uncle Wen Zhenggong in Beijing for many years, you should know that no one dares not to call himself a lackey in front of your third uncle, right? ”

Gao pragmatic is still waiting to be said, and the Zhang family has already waved his hand: "Don't think about this, the daughter of the noble general, even if you want to marry our Gao family, you can only do a small part, and you can't be a big woman." But after she said this, she thought about it and said, "But what you said before has some truth, let's wait a little longer for this matter and wait for Chunyu to talk about it later." ”
