Chapter 83: Help Me Marry One More Wife
The guerrilla Zhong was full of embarrassment, he laughed twice, and said in a low voice: "Brother, I used to do business without capital, and it is normal that I have not heard the poems of Emperor Sejong, so I laughed." ”
When the obedient official heard it, it turned out to be a murderer and arson and other recruits, but he was good at appearance, and he looked like a person from a family of military generals, so he smiled, "Every righteous person from the slaughter of dogs, most of the negative hearts are scholars, and what a good man in the green forest!" ”
There was a strong smell of sycophants in these words, but the guerrilla Zhong was full of joy, rubbing his hands together again and again, and said: "In the end, it is a disciple taught by Master Chuanyu, and his speech is different, let's see it is stronger than our Governor Cai's friend Hu Jingshui." ”
The obedient official was stunned, and said in his heart that this guy still knows how to pass on the rumors. The name of the second head is Chuanlu, but at this time it has not yet been customized, because the first name of the third class is also commonly known as Chuanlu, the second and third first, the world is different, so the literati do not recognize the title of Chuanlu.
The first class is called Jinshi and the first, the second class is called Jinshi origin, and the third class is called Tongjinshi origin. Speaking of this Tongjinshi, there is a sub-couplet that says: Ru Madame, Tongjinshi. If the lady washes her feet, she is born with a jinshi. Wash the feet of Mrs. Ru and give the same Jinshi background.
Such as the lady, the little wife also, the same Jinshi first name, then what is there to brag about. Like Daxing County Ling Shen Master, you have to call him a rumor, maybe you want the boss to scrape you, the second and third top names are both legends, but the difference inside is almost the difference between Tsinghua University and Tsinghua Technical School in later generations, shouting [learn technology to Tsinghua, Tsinghua Technical School, 800 beds stainless steel, 200 students have strong technology] Tsinghua Technical School How can it be compared with Tsinghua University!
Seeing that this Zhong guerrilla was pleasing to the eye, the obedient official simply told him about the joints here, saving him from shouting from the old man.
Listening to the words of the obedient official, Zhong Li was stunned for a moment, and then looked annoyed, "No wonder Hu Jingshui, the governor of the master's curtain, doesn't give us a good look every time, it turns out that it's because we call him the same Jinshi master!" ”
The obedient official can't cry or laugh, he doesn't beat people in the face and scold people without revealing his shortcomings, you are ruthless, and he calls people to join the Jinshi in person. The first three first, the second seventeen, the third one hundred and thirty, calling others the same jinshi, isn't that a slap in the face, as long as it is a scholar who is admitted to the jinshi, no one is not taboo to be mentioned by others is the same jinshi, you are good, every time you hang on your lips, people give you a good look is strange.
That Mrs. Cai Cai's friend Hu Jingshui took four exams before he was successful, and later Ah attached to Mrs. Cai, became a friend of the scene, this guy has some bad water in his stomach, and has repeatedly given Mrs. Cai a lot of ideas, which has helped Mrs. Cai's career greatly, for example, the eunuch Mu Gonggong of the Nanjing garrison of Ah Annex, is from the hand of Hu Jingshui, Governor Cai also thanked him, and funded him to take the Jinshi exam again, but he barely hit a fellow Jinshi at the end of the crane, and did not go to the Ministry to find errands, and also worked as a friend under Mrs. Cai, because he was too trusted, can be the master of a small half of Mrs. Cai's in everything, and he is always feared by Mrs. Cai's subordinates.
This Zhong Guerrilla understood that he was not liked by the governor's friends, and he was very annoyed, and couldn't help but pat the back of his head with his hand, and the obedient official next to him took the village masa around his waist and handed it to the big head next to him.
"If it weren't for the brother you told us, we wouldn't have thought of it, it turned out that Hu Jingshui didn't give us a good face because of hunger." Zhongli looked remorseful, "When I go back this time, I have to prepare a generous gift to stuff a stuff......"
Hearing his tone getting closer and closer, the obedient official was funny, and felt that this guy was born in the green forest, so he simply sold it to the end, and went to sea on someone else's boat, and maybe he would use someone else's later, so he said: "Brother Zhong, don't give gifts." ”
Zhongli was stunned for a moment and asked why. Obediently ask him, how many old brothers do you have to use under your hands!
I was a little confused by the obedient official, but this former green forest hero is the most envious of the reader, although the age in front of him is not very old, but the teacher of the family is the second head of the Jinshi, the ability is definitely big, and immediately said that I have more than a dozen old brothers under my hands who can be used, and I am also an official, and the worst is also an eight-rank military general.
When he said this, he couldn't help but feel a little proud, and the good official suddenly said, "If the Zhong family's elder brother, a dozen or so subordinates, cut off chicken heads and burn yellow paper to kiss each other like brothers, what do you think?" ”
The former guerrilla general who had no shadow of the bandit number first laughed, "Of course, I won't tell you from my brother, brother, I am the most righteous ......and angry," halfway through his speech, the laughter stopped abruptly, and then he felt that it was winter, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out behind his back.
Looking at his expression, Zheng Lingguan knew that this person understood the truth, and smiled in his heart, quite a little bit of the pleasure of pointing out the country, but it's a pity! I don't have Zhuge Liang's white feather fan in my hand, otherwise I would have waved it twice in my hand...... He was secretly refreshed in his heart, and naturally his face couldn't be revealed, so he had to pretend to be calm, otherwise, how could he be worthy of the gimmick of the second-class Jinshi disciple!
At this time, the pro-soldiers and family members under the guerrilla Zhong came in from outside, and sent beef and fat chicken, and there was a good Shanyin sweet wine, that is, the rice wine of later generations, which was poured into the bowl full, the color was dark yellow, and the aroma of wine was overflowing.
"General Zhong, please." Zheng Guofan picked up the bowl, saluted Zhongli, and then took a deep sip.
At this time, Zhongli came back to his senses, waved his hand to let the soldiers out, and then his face was uncertain, and he wanted to speak, but he couldn't say the words when he came to his lips.
"Brother Zhong, you are the master, I am the guest, you don't seem to be enthusiastic enough as the host!" The obedient official said slowly.
"Brother, you can afford it, and I have no shadow on the road, so I have always been righteous, I don't have to say it, you will be my brother in the future." Zhongli said something bright, then picked up the wine bowl, drank it all, and reached out to wipe the wine stain on his lower lip after putting the bowl down.
This kind of rhetoric, Zhongli hasn't said it for at least a few years, at least he hasn't said it since he became an official, this guy is not stupid, think about it before and after, ah! These brothers under my hands are also separated from each other, and the same must be true for the governor, if Hu Jingshui is like a brother like me, the governor must not be able to sleep well at that time!
Then I thought, I heard people say that there is a skill called dragon slaying among scholars, and it has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, isn't it, this is what Brother Zheng learned?
He thought about it, toasted twice, couldn't help it, or asked, Zheng Guofan was stunned, almost spilled the wine, and didn't know what to say, but his appearance fell in the eyes of Zhong Guerrilla, it was inevitable that he was surprised after being said, and he was determined to make friends with him.
"Oops! It's my brother who sent me to the pool, I shouldn't have asked this, I punished myself with a cup. Zhongli said, and drank another bowl.
At this time, the Nanqu team was led in by the pro-soldiers, and then sang in a whispering manner, here they pushed the cup and changed the lamp, said something, ate some meat, drank some wine, and after the wine was hot, the good official asked him with the strength of the wine, Brother Zhong, such a big thing, what is this Governor Cai Taicai for?
Zhongli intends to befriend him, so he naturally feels that if he wants others to believe in you, you have to believe in others first, not to mention that this person has something to do with the Yan family, otherwise he will not be involved, and he will not hide it from him at the moment, so he said this.
"Alas! Brother, I don't hide it from you, over the years, our Zhejiang military guards have had a hard time, and it is becoming more and more difficult for military households to dig food from the ground, like my brother and me, I have nothing to do to go around, suppress a bandit or something, and say that the son is still good, but where can normal military households have such treatment, such as this town of Haiwei Qianhu, who has been good friends with me for several years, not my brother, I brag about myself, if it weren't for my righteousness, I helped him from time to time, and took him out to sea to get some oil and water, and the military households under his hands would have to run away at least half more. ”
In the rich land of the south of the Yangtze River, when the military household is naturally not as comfortable as the ordinary people, not to mention that the ordinary military household is equal to the officer's servant, people are most afraid of comparison, escape out to be a common man, where can you not find food to eat, but in the military guard, the fields you plant are all hundreds of households, and you usually have to work as an errand for the chief to stand in the house.
"Later, Governor Cai listened to Hu Jingshui's suggestion and began to sell all kinds of ordnance......" He whispered here, glanced at Zheng Guofan, the obedient official smiled, and said: "These things, presumably the court bigwigs also know in their hearts, as the saying goes, if you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse." ”
Zhongli slapped his thigh hard, "Ah! Isn't this the reason, the governor saw that there was no movement in the imperial court, and he became more and more diligent in selling things, to be honest, my brother and I also made some money in it, but not much. ”
"Human nature, what my brother said, I can also understand." The obedient official flattered him, and naturally wanted to take the truth out of his mouth.
"Originally, this transaction was done, and there was also silver on the military guard, and the governor could also hold the heart below, but the governor and the chief secretary Li Shaonan and Lord Li were not right with each other, it is said that the backstage of this chief secretary Li was ......" He lowered his voice more and more, "It is the eunuch Zhang Whale of the Dongchang palm print, that is the great eunuch who is still favored by the emperor than the Nanjing garrison eunuch Mu Gonggong behind the governor." ”
Hearing this, the good official had four or five points, and the more Zhongli said, the more he shook the matter of the two bigwigs in Zhejiang pushing each other to the good official, and finally took a sip of wine, and said: "In the first two months, Lord Li, the chief secretary of the country, didn't know what was wrong, and repeatedly provoked, to say, behind him is Zhang Whale Zhang Gonggong, but far away in Yanjing Whip Commander, our governor behind the Nanjing garrison eunuch Mu Gonggong is just in front of him, how can he have the courage to find trouble!" ”
"It's not once or two that we do this arms business, and the people who know it are actually not young and old......," he said, glancing at Zheng Guofan, and said obediently: "This is a routine, and you can't hide it." ”
"It's still brother, you are very good, you can understand it as soon as you hear it, you have to tell others, and others still don't understand it after talking for a long time." Zhongli burped and gave him a thumbs up, and then he was a little puzzled, "You say, why does this Chief Minister, Lord Li, suddenly have the courage to trouble the Governor?" ”
The obedient official touched his hairless chin and groaned, "Perhaps, there are some changes in the imperial court, for example, the position of the Nanjing garrison eunuch should be moved?" ”
Speaking of this, the two of them glanced at each other, this is the most likely, Zhongli was a little depressed, sighed gloomily, and the obedient official comforted him, "It's hard to say this, I think no matter who comes up, you must always use talents like my brother, to say something unpleasant, even if my teacher Shen Dunyu comes to sit in this position, I have to recommend the teacher to use my brother's, as for making some silver, that's the stub, if you want to call the donkey to grind, you have to give it to the carrot to eat!" My brother thought it wasn't. ”
Zhongli suddenly felt like a confidant, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, you are really capable, in other words, brother, do you have fifteen this year?" "It's fourteen." The good official said with a smile.
Looking at him up and down, Zhongli couldn't help but shake his head, "When I was a child, I also heard the first old Xiucai in the village say that some people are born to know, and they didn't understand what it meant at that time, but now it seems that if you don't go down to earth, brother, you will be born with this ability, where can a normal petty official have this kind of vision." ”
Nonsense, brother, I am the one who crosses, that is, the one who is born to know.
"Come, I'll toast my brother." The good official raised a bowl to toast him again, he drank flower wine countless times in his previous life, how to chat with people and fart to promote feelings is also a hand, a meal of wine was drunk until midnight, the big head next to him couldn't bear it, and he took a nap next to the good official after eating some beef, but the good official was still drinking with Zhongli Zhong Wuying.
"Wine is the essence of food, the more you drink, the younger you get, let's go again." The obedient official and his face were red, he pulled Zhong Li, and came to another bowl, Zhong Li couldn't wait to cut off the head of the chicken with him and burn the yellow paper to worship as a brother, and drink with others, where are these ways, it is nothing more than a fist and a wine order, and ask the two bitches to touch Naizi in their arms, look at this Zheng brother, toast the wine, a set of rhetoric, so far there has been no duplicate, let him admire to death.
"Brother, this business is also a head-killing business! You have such a great ability, and the teacher is the top Jinshi in the second class, why should you be involved, brother, I have no choice, I have to be supported by the governor, so I have to grit my teeth and do it. The more Zhongli looked at Zheng Guofan, the more pleasing he became, and he couldn't help but ask him.
"I owe the Yan family a favor, in this world, the king of Hades is good, but it is difficult to repay the favor!" The good officer took a sip of wine.
"That's right." Zhongli put down the bowl, "However, you and I hit it off at first sight, say a word, brother, don't laugh, I'm a lot older, I don't even have a wife, let alone a son, brother, don't worry, brother, I will fight to protect your name, in case my brother has something three long and two short, if brother remembers my brother's meal today, I will marry more wives and give birth to a son surnamed Zhong." ”
This guy drank a lot of wine, and began to talk nonsense, he used to be mixed with the green forest, or a horse bandit who came and went like the wind, naturally he had no wife, and when he became an official, he only cared about promotion, and then his vision was high, and he swore that he would not marry a non-official eunuch lady, and he knew where the official eunuch family was willing to marry his daughter to him, and he was born as a bandit, wouldn't he be laughed to death in the future.
He said, howling and crying, lying in the mud of the Gobi, we are also glorious ancestors! Why can't you even marry a daughter-in-law, it's hard to be the last to die.
