Mao Zhengqing's words narrated what happened in his past in a very short way, but what Mao Zhengqing said was a little different from what Zhang Fan had heard Liang Chao say before, or what he saw from those files.

Although Zhang Fan already knew what Mao Zhengqing said before, compared to listening to others or looking at the cold file, listening to Mao Zhengqing, the person concerned, made Zhang Fan have a different feeling.

Things are still those things, and even the words Mao Zhengqing said are not as detailed as Liang Chao, or those files are recorded in detail, but Mao Zhengqing has never said that he wants to explain anything to Zhang Fan, he is more about his own feelings.

And it is these feelings that make Zhang Fan feel a lot of different things, the reason why a person changes from one side to the other, if you look at the text, where can you hear it so really, and for Mao Zhengqing, Zhang Fan also understood one thing through his words.

What kind of person Mao Zhengqing is, in fact, it is obvious now, and no matter how talented and learned he is, no matter how high-profile he was when he was a Shujishi in the capital, even Xu Jie, who has endured for many years, has to say two good words about him, not to mention that he is facing the powerful Yan family, which is just that kind of resoluteness and firmness.

These, in fact, are not Mao Zhengqing's insistence, although he can distinguish between good and bad, and he is also a good person, but he is not firm in his will for these things, he is very smart, how can he study, people may not be able to win the exam for so many years, but Mao Zhengqing took the exam once, the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination all passed, and he also entered the second class, which shows his intelligence, but reading is not what Mao Zhengqing originally wanted.

The reason why he can study and want to be an official is actually for a woman, that is, his current wife, after half of the success, he may feel that he is not far from success, so he also began to do some of the things he wants to do, but the first thing he did was to fight against the Yan family, which was unshakable at that time.

And after experiencing this failure, coupled with the fact that the beloved woman has been promised by his father, Mao Zhengqing naturally became nothing else to ask for, so he also made up his mind to stick to his own opinions and go on the road of being an official.

However, who knows, the peak turned around, and Yan Song's sudden downfall allowed Mao Zhengqing to regain his love, and for the sake of his beloved woman, the avenue that looks very solemn and aims to think about the country and the people is simply worthless in front of Mao Zhengqing, what he really wants is his own woman, who can accompany him.

Speaking of which, it is really a thing that will make people feel like a joke, people often say, "Beauty Township is a hero's mound", whether Zhou's is beautiful or not, Zhang Fan does not need to comment, but whether Zhou's beauty is like a fairy or ugly, Mao Zhengqing, who now has a chance in his career, if it is just for such a woman, he has ruined his good future and his great ambitions, no matter how much person sees it, he will feel that it is not worth it.

However, Zhang Fan didn't have any intention of laughing at him, whether it was what he showed on the outside, or what Zhang Fan thought in his heart, Zhang Fan didn't have any intention of laughing at Mao Zhengqing, no matter what Mao Zhengqing thought in his heart, and no matter how stupid the decision he made seemed to others, but this was what Mao Zhengqing decided, and a person's decision, a person's ideal in life, that is absolutely not allowed to be criticized by anyone else. No one is qualified to point fingers.

Mao Zhengqing, his life is frank and unrestrained, although he has not made any great achievements, but he has never done anything bad, he just wants to protect the small life of himself and his wife, this point, he did nothing wrong, and he himself has no need to be ashamed of anything.

And just now, Mao Zhengqing said that when he returned home during the coldest Spring Festival, he bumped into his wife, who washed his clothes in the cold because he wanted to save dozens of dollars, but he also had a cold wind, and it took a long time to get better, Mao Zhengqing had a lot of ideas about this, and he also made up his mind.

"I decided so at that time, and this time, I didn't tell her, I just did it," Mao Zhengqing looked at Zhang Fan and continued, "However, although I said that, it was not a big deal, I never thought of being greedy, because she didn't let me, and I didn't think about going to the official, or forming a party for personal gain, although doing this is not considered corruption, the difference between the party and the masses, I still understand, but that kind of thing, I am really not good at it, I am afraid that I will offend anyone at that time."

"So I thought of a way, I just want to be an official honestly, I don't want to be in the court, I don't want to be rich, I just want a stable life, so that she doesn't have to work so hard, if there is some small money, it is naturally good, so, I want to be an official so honestly, I will always be promoted in the future, and if I am promoted to Zhizhou, there will be more than ten stone of grain every year, more than 20 taels of silver, and I will be promoted to the prefect, that is, I am now, I heard that it is also the blessing of Dragging Lord Zhang, I am a four-grade prefect, Now there are nearly two hundred taels of money every year, which is enough for my family to spend, even if I have children in the future, it will not be a problem.

"It's because of this incident that I've become cowardly, I want to be a local official, I must not lose my official position because of anything, I don't know how to do business, I don't know how to grow crops, and even this official doesn't do very well, but once I stop being an official, I don't know how to make a living, in that case, what can she do.

"So I thought, I am such an honest official, no one should be offended, so now, no matter who I meet, all of them are low-brow and pleasing to the eyes, for fear that I will offend someone by accident and cause trouble for myself.

"My lord, when I first made up my mind, although I always thought in my heart that it was just to do this kind of thing for her, what was the difficulty, but at the beginning, I did it on my face, but I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, and I always felt that I didn't want to do it.

"It's also funny, originally I thought, my life may be so awkward, but who knows, this kind of thing, the first few times to do difficult, but do too much I don't think, wait until three years later, I have completely accustomed to this, even want to change to the previous appearance, there is no way, as long as I meet people, the first thought in my heart, that is, how to speak politely, so that he will not be angry with me.

"This person, that's really the case, even if it's in his mouth or in his heart, he says that he is unhappy, but as long as he does it and does it a few more times, he feels that it's not a big deal to do this, and once he gets used to it, no one can change it,"

And Zhang Fan also agrees with Mao Zhengqing's words, people are like this, even if they are released after being locked up for decades, but they can still adhere to their ideals and dreams, it is not nothing, but there are a few such people.

Most people, if not the mainstream of this world, no matter what they had in mind at first, but in the end, they still chose to go with the flow, which is not controversial.

Mao Zhengqing did this, is it wrong, naturally no, he just behaved cowardly and said something that was not what he thought, but the purpose of his doing this was not only for himself, but also for the woman he loved.

What's more, Mao Zhengqing has never done anything wrong in his life, even if he has become what he is today, he is full of lies, no matter who he meets, he has to bow his head and be polite, but in the final analysis, he has never done anything bad at all, he has not coveted a tael of silver that should not belong to him, and he has never harmed anyone, and even, he has saved the lives of many good people by relying on this compromise method.

Such a person, no matter who he replaces, what qualifications does he have to accuse him.

Of course, Zhang Fan's purpose is not to accuse him, in addition to being curious about Mao Zhengqing's changes, more importantly, Zhang Fan wants to be sure of what he knows.

And then there's the ......

"Master Mao," Zhang Fan looked at Mao Zhengqing and said, "I already know about your affairs, you just take my pity on you, I will give you a good arrangement, but now there is something to trouble you, it is about that Zheng Yang......

Just as Zhang Fan was talking and was about to ask Mao Zhengqing about something, he was interrupted by bursts of sobbing from outside the house.

This voice made Zhang Fan and Mao Zhengqing in the room stunned, but Mao Zhengqing was completely stunned, but Zhang Fan's expression on his face turned into a smile.

looked at Mao Zhengqing, Zhang Fan said apologetically: "When Lord Mao first started to say, Mrs. Zun was outside the window, but I never reminded Mr. Mao, I think there are some things, not only I am curious, Mrs. Zun is even more curious, hey, Mr. Mao needless to say, although I have something to do with you today, but there is no hurry for a while, I want to come to Mrs. Zun and Lord Mao also have something to say, and when I finish speaking, I will also come to the post house from my hometown Mr. Mao,"

After speaking, Zhang Fan got up and left, leaving time for the husband and wife.
