It only took about ten days for the recommendation to be sent to the Forbidden City, and Cao Dingjiao became the commander of the Miyun Guard, and took a company of artillery to take office.

The Donglin Party knew about this and did not stop it, no matter how much the industrial faction tossed, as long as the autumn harvest was over, these tosses became useless, and the incense was wasted, and the industrial faction tossed blindly.

Not long after Cao Dingjiao took office, it was the summer season, and Zheng Yuanwai also got the official position Xu Ruo he wanted, but there was one condition.

Later, the horse gangs who went to the Manchu Qing Dynasty all carried the banner of the Zheng family, which was to make the Zheng family bear the infamy of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

Zheng Yuanwai couldn't be the master alone, so he got into a carriage and returned to his hometown in the countryside.

Zheng Yuanwai is now a Beijing official, or a high-ranking official from Wupin, and the magistrate and the squires greeted this Beijing official from the capital on the official road of the county.

Zheng Yuanwai's father, Mr. Zheng, has only taken the examination for talent and fame in his life, and has been a private school teacher in the county all his life, and he has not even enjoyed such treatment at any time.

The arrival of the eldest son gave him, a father, enough face, to wear the silk right coat that he had worn three times in his life, sitting in the middle of the official road, surrounded by the county magistrate and the squire, waiting for the eldest son to return to his hometown.

Old Man Zheng sat on the official hat chair and stroked his beard and smiled, and the squires around him said flattering words one after another, and the red light on the brown spot old face became higher and higher.

"It's coming, it's coming."

In a shout, everyone saw a carriage coming from the official road, stopped not far from here, Zheng Yuanwai stepped out of the carriage and walked to his father.

After some pleasantries.

A feast to catch the wind and wash the dust.

Zheng Yuanwai turned down all the invitations until the third day, saying that it was important to discuss matters, and convened the older generation of the Zheng family in the Zheng ancestral hall.

Close the door of the ancestral hall and sit in the courtyard of the ancestral hall.

Zheng Yuanwai was in a good mood and said that incident, the real plan of the Yongping Mansion to glorify the ancestors: "Dad, as long as we agree to come down, there will be a high-ranking official in a scarlet uniform in the Zheng family." ”

After Zheng Yuanwai said this, he picked up the teacup quite complacently, expectantly waiting for the praise of the older generation of Zheng family.

Scarlet high-ranking officials.

The county has not had a blue-robed official for many years, not to mention a high-ranking official in a scarlet uniform, as long as Zheng Yuanwai serves as the prefect of Yongping Mansion, the Zheng family can become one of the top squires in the county.

This is the height that many ancestral halls have worked hard for several generations, or even more than ten generations, and it only took one generation for him to do it.

My father's face must have been extremely bright, and the older generation of uncles would surely utter a series of compliments.

Just when Zheng Yuanwai put down the teacup in his hand, ready to enjoy his father's praise and uncle's praise, he saw a gloomy old face and a rattan.

Old Man Zheng picked up the rattan that carried out the family law, pumped it Zheng Yuanwai's body, and said angrily: "Rebel! ”

"If you dare to fornicate with the old man Jiannu, you will be removed from the family tree, and you still want to glorify your ancestors? You bastard, this is to grasp the Zheng family's reputation, and it will be corrupted. ”

Several uncles hurriedly stopped Old Man Zheng, so as not to ruin the hope of revitalizing the Zheng family.

Zheng Yuanwai's face was even uglier than his father's, and he was full of expectations, but he was beaten by his father: "The family has planted land all their lives, and it should be clear that it is impossible to produce a thousand catties per mu." ”

"The battle for Miyun is already in hand, as long as we agree to this matter, it won't be a few years before Yongping Mansion will be in our family's bag."

"This is just the beginning, with the key of the Yongping Prefect, the Zheng family has the possibility of becoming a great squire in Benzhou, and the price is nothing more than the reputation of the Zheng family."

One sentence is just the reputation of the Zheng family, and the old man Zheng, who was angry, almost didn't fall in one breath, and died of anger on the spot.

This is the hard work of the Zheng family for many generations!

It is also the most cherished heirloom of the Zheng family, let alone changing a prefect, even if it is not changed for a governor.

What's more, now that the official position of the Yongping Prefect has not yet arrived, it is crazy to use the hard work of the Zheng family for many generations to exchange for an illusory promise.

It is impossible for an acre of rice field to yield thousands of catties per mu, no matter how impossible, it cannot ruin the hard work of many generations of the Zheng family for the sake of a prefect.

Old Man Zheng looked at the eldest son's stubborn defense, and took out a rattan and smashed it on Zheng Yuanwai's body: "You rebel, get out of the old man!" ”

Zheng Yuanwai looked at his angry father, and knew that he couldn't persuade his father now, so he could only leave the ancestral hall with an ugly face.

has been staying in his hometown until the summer season, as long as he mentions something that damages the reputation of the Zheng family, Old Man Zheng is angry and has to use rattan to smoke Zheng Yuan.

Zheng Yuanwai and Old Man Zheng were in a stalemate for so long, but they still couldn't convince their father, so they had to give up.

He just gave up convincing his father that the establishment of the Ma Gang in the name of the Zheng family still had to be done, not only to do it, but also to do it without any room for maneuver.

On the second day of the summer season, more than a dozen brothers and nephews of the same clan went to the ancestral hall to find Zheng Yuanwai after some discussion.

Zheng Yuanwai was kicked out of the house by his father, and he could only live in the wing of the ancestral hall, and now the summer is getting cooler and cooler day by day, and it is still a little hot in the summer season.

Zheng Yuanwai sat under an elm tree at the entrance of the ancestral hall to enjoy the shade, and several maids sent by the county magistrate were making tea beside him.

These brothers and nephews of the same clan who live in the countryside, with average family backgrounds, couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw those beautiful maids with graceful figures.

If Zheng Yuanwai wants to do something, there is no room for maneuver, and it will fall on the heads of these brothers and nephews of the same clan, as long as they have the same heart as themselves, regardless of whether their father agrees with this matter or not.

Zheng Yuanwai saw the squinting expressions of the brothers and nephews of the same clan, smiled and said, "As long as that thing is done, the female jinshi on the flower case list in the capital will also be at your disposal." ”

The thoughts of the brothers and nephews of the same clan are basically the same as Zheng Yuanwai, what reputation, what betrayal, as long as they can earn silver, they don't care about these ethereal things.

Hearing Zheng Yuanwai say a word about the female jinshi, these brothers and nephews of the same clan who faced the yellow-faced woman all day long began to swear on the spot to show their loyalty.

"As long as the eldest brother doesn't dislike it, he will follow the eldest brother in the future."

"Uncle, don't worry, nephew, I don't have any other skills, but I have the courage, and I will hand over the matter of sending goods to the Great Qing Kingdom in the future."

"Big brother, don't let the officials in the capital wait, let's go to the capital quickly."

Zheng Yuanwai looked at the loyalty of this group of brothers and nephews of the same clan on that red face, and knew in his heart that this matter had been done.

But if you want to make these brothers and nephews of the same clan die, you have to give them some sweetness, pointing to those beautiful maids and saying, "They are yours." ”
