Chapter 167: Seeing In-laws, Hearing Good Words
Wang Qi's words sound reasonable, but the person who said it is wrong.
He wasn't a man who loved drilling, and this arrangement was too utilitarian. Wang Qi, who talked so eloquently, had just taken over the errand of the Son of Heaven to meet the biological mother of the Son of Heaven, but there was no joy on his body, but his face showed a little sadness.
Dao Idiot sighed and said, "Sai Weng is not a blessing, and Seventh Brother does not need to feel too guilty." ”
Wang Qi smiled bitterly: "Since the emperor has ordered someone to welcome the princess into Beijing, that title is also a matter of time." I really don't know how to meet the second uncle. If Zongfang's uncle and cousins need to be avoided, it is also a good thing that Brother-in-law Zhang came out earlier. ”
Zhang Qinghe not only married the daughter of the Wang family, but also the nephew of Mrs. Zongfang, and when it comes to blood kinship, he is not far from Taoism. is here again at an age, and before Wang Qi got married, the Wang family wanted to support it, and it would be much cheaper in the officialdom.
Even if the princess of the three counties is crowned, there is now national filial piety, and the wedding will be a year later at the earliest, and the Wang family will still have the opportunity to decorate.
When the Taoist idiot grew older, he also had help in the officialdom.
The Taoist idiot thought of Wang Qi's distress in his heart, and said, "If my brother-in-law is willing, it will naturally be a good thing." ”
Wang Qi looked at the idiot and said, "It would be nice if Erlang and Sanlang were a few years older." ”
San Lang is a close branch of the sect, and the Taoist idiot grew up with Wang Qi, and has received the favor of the old lady Wang, and the clansmen that the sect can really rely on are only the two of them. If you change to another house, the relationship is estranged, not to mention whether there are talented children, even if there are children who can help, it is not a blessing for the family. Wang Qi is still in return, and the identity of the horse is a deterrent; If Wang Qi is not there, it is not impossible for him to suppress his concubine.
As for whether San Lang and Dao Idiot will oppress the sect after they gain power, Wang Qi never thought about it. As for Wang Qinghong, who is in the third rank, Wang Qi didn't think about it at all.
Seeing Wang Qi's brows furrowed, the idiot comforted in a low voice: "Seventh brother, it's still the same sentence, don't look at the eyes." The emperor ascended the throne as a vassal king, the capital seems to be peaceful, and there is no toss to say, and the current scenery may not be the scenery. As long as the seventh brother and the three county lords are in love, the Wang family will have a backer, and it is not too late for me and the third brother to become a leader ten or eight years later. ”
Wang Qi was a little surprised when he heard this: "His Royal Highness is already the emperor, who dares to embarrass the emperor?" ”
Dao idiot said: "Even if you are an emperor, you may not be able to do what you want." There is filial piety, and there are 'loyal ministers' below, no matter what name is raised, in the final analysis, it is still a battle for fame and fortune, and I don't know how long it will be fought. Let's just watch from the wall, and save ourselves from being burned. ”
Wang Qi is not stupid, and when he hears the words, he naturally hears the meaning of the idiot. If the political situation in the capital is really going to be chaotic, it may not be a bad thing for Erbo Zhishi. Although he knew that this kind of rhetoric was comforting himself, Wang Qi blinked his eyes, the uneasiness and guilt in his heart were still a little weaker, and he whispered: "Does anyone really dare to make trouble?" ”
The Taoist idiot nodded and whispered: "Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the change of power is always inevitable. If nothing else, even when the first emperor ascended the throne as the crown prince, the court was also turbulent for several years. The eunuchs are alive and dead, and the ministers are not one or two, there are no less than a few officials of the six ministries involved, and there are dozens of families who break the house and ask for crimes. On the emperor's side, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult. ”
Wang Qi is only annoyed by his marriage contract with the three county lords these days, where did he think of this. Now that I have heard this, I think about it and say nothing else, it will be a lawsuit after the princess enters Beijing.
There is a queen mother in the harem, and the identity of the princess, the emperor's biological mother, must be had. As the emperor's filial piety, how could the princess be stranded in the capital with "improper name and bad words", she must always be supported by the palace, and there will be no one to be the title of "Queen Mother" at that time......
Compared with the chaos that the emperor has to face, the retreat of the second uncle of the sect is not so bad......
As he spoke, the carriage arrived at Huaihua Hutong.
The house that the Zhang family bought in the capital is here.
When he got out of the carriage, Wang Qi couldn't say that he was refreshed, and the frustration on his face dissipated, and he looked much calmer.
After the two of them left the palace, they came directly and did not follow the little servant for a long time, Wang Qi sent the coachman, and went directly to knock on the door.
An old servant half-pushed the door and looked outside, glanced at Wang Qi several times, and said carefully: "But the seventh master of the Wang family?" ”
Wang Qi laughed and said, "Master came here twice a few days ago, are you forgetful?" ”
The old servant hurriedly said: "It's the style of the seventh master, and the little old man is a little afraid to admit it." ”
Where is the problem of dressing, Wang Qi knows in his heart, he didn't go to the post and went directly to the door to be a "villain", and he and the two idiots wore plain clothes, and did not follow the servants, this old servant and old eyes were dizzy and hesitated.
The old servant had already pushed the door out, Wang Qi grabbed two pieces of broken silver from his purse and threw them in his arms, and said, "Uncle Cousin said a few days ago that he was going south to visit friends, did he set off?" ”
The old servant thanked the reward first, and then replied: "Not yet, the luggage has been packed early, and the ship has been set." It's just that the old man heard that the second uncle entered Beijing from Longlong, so it was not good to leave at this time, and said that he would wait for the second uncle to go south again. ”
Wang Qi smiled when he heard this: "This is not the main master, go and spread it." ”
This old servant is also an old man brought into Beijing by the Zhang family, and he hurriedly looked at the Taoist idiot when he heard the words. Before the Zhang family entered Beijing, the Taoist idiot had also been to the Zhang family a few times, and the old servant had also seen it. Seeing that the handsome young man in front of him was indeed a little familiar with each other, he hurriedly confessed: "It's the little old man who is clumsy, the seventh master and the second uncle are fast forward, and the villain will go to the court." ”
While talking, the old servant led the two into the courtyard, turned the shadow wall, and when they arrived in the courtyard, they walked to the door of the east chamber and called loudly: "Master, the seventh master and the second uncle of the Wang family are here." ”
The Zhang family only entered the courtyard twice, and someone knocked on the door, and the front yard room could have heard it clearly.
It's just that Master Zhang took this travelogue and was fascinated by it, so he didn't pay attention to what was going on outside the window. Now that he was called by the old servant in a loud voice, he woke up and got up to meet the guests.
He was a carefree and casual person, delaying his departure from Beijing for the sake of his in-laws, and he didn't have any intention to get rid of the Taoist idiot, the "Son of Heaven's Companion", but he valued his eldest daughter-in-law and was willing to give his eldest daughter-in-law face in front of his in-laws.
In front of Dao Idiot and Wang Qi, Master Zhang's treatment of people is still the same as in the past, and he does not deliberately get close to the warmth.
Dao idiot and Wang Qi are used to seeing all kinds of "cordial" in the past few days, and seeing Master Zhang like this, they can't help but have a little more respect in their hearts.
Master Zhang and Wang Qi exchanged a few words, and then said: "Your brother-in-law and San Lang went to the new house, but they are not at home at the moment. San Lang helped you buy a mansion, although it is kind, but it is not easy to live in the capital. From thrift to luxury, from luxury to simplicity difficult. The old lady of the in-law has a noble character, if you want the elderly to go to Beijing for the elderly with peace of mind, you should not spend too much. ”
Such a straightforward teaching, although it does not sound tactful, but it is sincere.
The Taoist idiot stood up and listened, and said gratefully: "The little nephew thanks the deceased uncle for his teachings." ”
Master Zhang had a good impression of the Taoist idiot, but now that he has become a dragon, he is still respectful and humble, and there is no smug attitude, he nodded with satisfaction, and said: "With your grandson, the old lady of the in-laws is a person who is blessed in the evening." ”
Wang Qi listened and said with a smile: "Cousin, uncle and grandmother are now stained with Erlang's light." ”
Master Zhang looked at Wang Qi and said, "Oh? Where to start? ”
Wang Qi took out the gift scroll from his arms, handed it to Master Zhang and said: "Uncle cousin, the emperor is gracious, the uncle and aunt have received the gift, and the uncle and grandmother have become the five products too pleasant." ”
Master Zhang took it with both hands, solemnly unfolded it, looked at it, and couldn't help but be excited on his face.
He put down the scroll, looked at the idiot, and said, "In the year of Erlang dancing the spoon, he can earn this honor for his elders and ancestors, which is very good, very good." Your parents will be glad to know about it! ”
When the idiot heard this, he was a little embarrassed, and said: "It's just a fluke, not the work of the little nephew, and the little nephew is ashamed." ”
Master Zhang shook his head and said, "Time is also, life is also." Erlang is smart and has a promising future, but because of the support of his young father and brother, his career is always a little difficult. Now with the east wind, there will be fewer twists and turns in the future, and it is also the time for Erlang to arrive, so there is no need to be arrogant. And remember to be measured, do not act like rejection, be loyal and diligent, and be safe. ”
There is no fairness in the world, especially above officialdom.
There are a few people who are really proud of officialdom and have no backers. When I got to the idiot, I just had a harder backer than others. But the friendship between monarchs and ministers, where can it compare to the blood of the family. There is tolerance and love between relatives, and they can be forgiven for doing wrong; The emperor's favor is illusory, uncontrollable, and a matter of life and death.
This is another piece of advice.
There are many elders of Taoist idiots, and Master Zhang is not close, but these two times and three times he sincerely admonished, but he said that in the heart of Taoist idiots.
Master Zhang is only in his forties and in the prime of life, and he has such a transparent temperament, and he is grateful, he can't help but be a little moved, and thinks about it: "The court employs people, and uses them in three ways at the same time." If there is a chance, has Uncle Shi thought about going out? ”
In addition to the imperial examination, there are also recommendations and favors.
Master Zhang has no intention of taking the exam, and Enyin can't talk about it, so the only thing left is to recommend.
When Master Zhang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a straight face: "I just said the word 'proportion', and Erlang forgot about it?" Erlang himself is only a year of dancing spoons, even if he is old with the current Hidden Mansion, what merits do he have? A gift has been sent down to Longen, Erlang should be grateful, good students to study, in order to serve the present after the office, to show loyalty. Recommending power is not something that Erlang can do now. Don't say it's me, it's your brother-in-law, and you don't need to worry about it. Although I have never seen Jinshang, I know the truth of human feelings. You are a companion of today, and you are a trustworthy person today. If you trade this trust for power, that trust will be dissolved. Rats are blind and stupid! "In the end, there was already anger.
If the previous words are admonitions, this passage is a direct rebuke.
Even if the Taoist idiot has always been calm, he is now being trained to blush.
Wang Qi was beside him, and he couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly got up and said: "Uncle Cousin misunderstood Erlang, thinking that it was a nephew to recommend Uncle Cousin and Cousin to be a nephew." Erlang, who was picked up by his nephew on the road. ”
When Master Zhang heard this, his expression eased slightly, but his words were still sharp, and he sneered: "Even if Qilang becomes an imperial prince in the future, he is still in Anlu, and it is too early to worry about the affairs of the capital." ”
In the eyes of the world, Jiajing is the successor to the royal family, and the three county lords are still the princes of the palace, and Wang Qi, the guest of honor, naturally has no reason to leave the domain.
Wang Qi's face was flushed, and it was difficult to say that he was worried about becoming a colt, so he nodded and said, "My nephew knows that he is wrong." ”
Although Wang Qi and Dao idiots are still being taught, the two of them are embarrassed, obviously not open-minded. Master Zhang's eyes showed a little disappointment, and he lost the interest in preaching, so he got up and said: "I won't leave Beijing in the future, I want to say goodbye to two old friends, I won't accompany you, you two go to see Shunniang." ”
After that, he called the little servant in, and ordered the two to be led to the inner house, so he left the two of them and went out to visit friends by himself.
Dao idiot and Wang Qi glanced at each other, and their faces were a little sneering. I used to envy Master Zhang's free and easy, but this casualness was used on them, and I really couldn't stand it. I changed it to a thin-skinned one, and I was still on the side like this, and I was embarrassed to come to the door again.
At the same time, Master Zhang's words were also like an alarm bell, knocking on the hearts of the two people.
Both of them are fatherless brothers, and they boast that they are a little clever, and they are used to making their own decisions. After listening to Mr. Zhang's words, I realized that "the insight of the world is all knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is an article". They are a little clever, but they are too clumsy.
Dao idiot said: "Do more wrong, do less wrong, don't do good, Seventh Brother and I should go with the flow." ”
He began to reflect in his heart, he is still impetuous these days, and he is really "blind". For Jiajing, there is no truth or falsehood. Even if you know that the so-called "loyalty" is mixed, you have to show it as full sincerity.
Wang Qi nodded with concern and said, "It's safer to be quiet and inactive than to draw snakes." ”
Shun Niang has already gotten the news, knowing that Wang Qi and the Taoist idiot are coming, and she can't wait to come to the front immediately, but she knows that her father-in-law is entertaining guests in the front yard, and she doesn't make people greet each other, and it is not good to come to the front at will.
The little guy took the two of them to the hall, and Lamei saw it, so she turned around and went to pass it on.
Therefore, when Dao Idiot and Wang Qi arrived in the backyard, Shun Niang had already come out of the wing room and came forward.
Seeing her coming quickly, the Taoist idiot hurriedly took two steps to support her, and said, "Sister, slow down!" ”
Shunniang stared at the idiot, unconsciously reddened her eyes, and said, "Erlang has grown up and is taller than my sister." ”
The idiot also looked at Shunniang and said, "My sister didn't grow tall, but she saw plumpness." ”
Shunniang was pregnant for two months, although she did not show her pregnancy, but her chin was much rounder than before marriage, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and she had more young woman's charm, but the color was better than that of marriage. Looking at the tranquility between her eyebrows and eyes, life should be smooth.
The Taoist idiot is a lot more down-to-earth, although the books of Shun Niang's family are all good words, but in the end, being a daughter-in-law is different from being a daughter at home. And because of Shun Niang's soft temperament, he and Wang Ning have always been a little relieved.
Wang Ning's family was able to give up his hometown and promised to move to the capital with his grandson, most of which was also due to the fact that he was not at ease with his mother.
Wang Qi saw that their sister and brother were intimate, and his heart was sour, and he muttered: "Sister Shunniang is left with Erlang in her eyes." ”
Shun Niang smiled: "Don't worry, Qilang, I haven't seen Erlang for several years, so I spoke first with Erlang." ”
Wang Qi said "hehe" twice and said: "What about my nephew, I taught him to call him 'uncle' last time, and I don't know if he will be called ......."
