Chapter 173: Licking the Calf Deeply?
Zeng Wei carried the food box, which contained a drawer of eel buns and a bowl of white rice porridge, and walked to the political affairs hall.
At the turn of Tatsumi, the courtiers of the Chang Dynasty left the Wende Hall one after another.
Some of these officials, who did not have to go to the government hall to discuss matters like the prime ministers, went straight home, and some stayed under the east corridor to wait for lunch to be delivered by the imperial dining house.
"Hey, isn't that Shiro Zeng?"
"It's him. There are four sons and daughters of the Zeng family, and this little Langjun has the best demeanor. ”
"It's not small, it's been three years since I finished the weak crown ceremony."
"Why, do you want to call each other brothers with Zeng Shu (family brothers, father-in-law and father-in-law call each other)? No wonder you put so much effort into impeaching the prime minister of the chapter and increasing the side affairs, and the prime minister must see it in his eyes. ”
"Hey, brother, you are too exalted to me, where can the little girl in the family climb high. I heard that even Cai Zuocheng (Cai Bian)'s intention to marry, the prime minister politely refused. ”
The marriage of the children of Minister Zhu Zi's family has always been one of the core contents of officialdom anecdotes.
Marriage means forming an alliance, especially in the era of fierce party strife, the indicative effect of a marriage is like five taels of chicken feathers on the high poles at the four ends of the Bianhe Bridge, which helps the middle and lower class courtiers to judge the direction of the wind.
Zeng Wei left his meaningful gaze behind him, followed the scribe who led the way, and went around two short corridors to the outside of the political affairs hall.
His father, Zeng Bu, had a recurrence of stomach problems after the winter, and yesterday he went home to complain about the lunch prepared by the Imperial Diet for the Government Hall, which was full of the thick mutton soup wontons (modern dumplings) that Zhang Dian liked, which was really difficult to swallow.
So at the beginning of this morning, Zeng Wei followed the carriage in the house and sent his father to the hospital, and agreed with his father to go to the market to buy eel porridge.
Zeng Wei waited in the ear room for a long time, but he still didn't see the door of the political hall open.
He opened the food box and took out a warm plate.
After all, even if you prepare a warm plate, porridge and eel buns, it will be cold when you see it.
In order to avoid fires and abuse of public funds, the imperial court rules that the first day of October officially enters winter, and during the 30th day of the first month of the following year, the Inner Minister's Department, the Government Hall, the Hanlin Academy, the Imperial Historical Observatory and other places can burn stoves for heating.
At this moment, there is a small charcoal basin in the ear room.
Zeng Wei simply washed his hands with the water that was no longer hot at the bottom of the warm plate, broke the eel buns one by one, and picked out the eel meat inside?
Stacks on porridge jars. How many pieces of charcoal did you carefully pull up?
Adjust to a stable angle and place the clay pot on top.
"Shiro?"
Suddenly a heavy voice called him?
Zeng Wei hurriedly looked up?
But it's Zhangdun.
Zeng Wei knows the rules of the political affairs hall, and the second class under the Chinese book is the second class?
The Privy Council, led by his father, was the last class, so?
Zhang Dian came out earlier.
Zeng Wei gave a big gift to a junior: "Zhang Gong." ”
Did he simply step through the door?
He looked at the porridge jar with interest, and then glanced at the bamboo drawer on the table.
The skin of the bun that has been hollowed out of the filling is wide open, like a big mouth with an embarrassed smile.
Zhang Dian raised his eyebrows: "Send lunch to your father?" ”
Zeng Wei nodded.
"The cardinal minister eats really simply."
"The tradition of my hometown of Nan Fung?
Eat more eel porridge in winter?
Dispel rheumatism and nourish the stomach. ”
"I didn't buy eel porridge in the market, so I took the eel buns and took the filling and soaked them in the porridge?" Zhang Dan teased, "Shiro is so clever, you are really a good material to be a transporter." Wait for you to enter the rank and get the official status?
The old man will definitely ask the official family to ask you to go to the household department. Hmm, or go to the Ministry of Works?
Returning to the river is a big event, and there are many joints for transportation and turnover?
It is said that the future is terrifying, a talent like Shiro?
It's time to make a difference. ”
Zhang Dian deliberately put the word "Ministry of Industry" more heavily.
Zeng Wei felt like he had eaten a fly.
Wu Anzhi, the former waiter of the Ministry of Works, is a person of Zhangdun.
Now Wu Shilang is already belittled in the south.
Father Zeng Bu borrowed the water from Kaifeng?
Instigated Su Yu, who had a holiday with Wu An because his uncle Su Zhe was demoted?
Impeached in a letter. This matter could have been continued by the imperial historians who were also suppressed in the New Party, turning out several political affairs controlled by the capable generals of Zhangdun's sect one by one, and writing a few words and deeds.
Zhang Dan has always been narrow-minded, not to mention his own career.
At this moment, he named the "Ministry of Industry" to Zeng Wei, which is disgusting and disgusting to the precious son of this political enemy.
Zeng Wei's face was like still water, he didn't say a word, lowered his head and pulled the porridge jar more steadily.
Before he could say anything, the sound of the government hall creaking open was heard.
Zeng Wei was puzzled and stood up.
Sure enough, but after a while, his father Zeng Bu appeared.
"Hey, the cardinal minister came out so soon, today's third class, there is nothing to play? It seems that the Xia people are very peaceful these days. Zhang Dian said meaningfully.
Zeng Bu and Yan Yuese: "If you have words, it will be long, and if you don't have words, it will be short, and the old man has never been a person who plays side things." ”
He stepped into the ear room and saw his son guarding the porridge jar, his eyes were full of kindness, and his throat seemed to be able to feel the warmth of the warm porridge soup.
Zhang Dian was stabbed by the word "side affairs", his eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth pouted slightly: "Zixuan, the old man really envies you, you have such a filial and courteous son." A few days ago, Cai Shangshu was still chattering, I don't know which colleague's little lady can be blessed and teach Shiro to be in love. ”
Zeng Bu took off his robe and sat down, and said lightly: "It doesn't have to be the daughter of the eunuch's house." Shiro can be happy with his mother, and the two of them can have a happy life, the most important thing is that they can live happily. ”
Zeng Wei's heart moved.
Father's words sounded serious.
Zhang Dian "hehe" a few times: "Zixuan is open." ”
Zeng Bu looked sincere: "Shouldn't parents think like this?" For example, as an official, he thinks that the common people can live a more peaceful life, not on the sidelines. ”
glanced at the waiter who hurried by outside the door, and said to Zhang Dun: "Zihou go to eat, I saw Mr. Hao just holding a food plate." Roast lamb's eyes are the same as this porridge, and they should be eaten hot. ”
"Zixuan doesn't go?"
"With my son with me, I eat here."
……
After all, it is the winter solstice, and the snowflakes from the sky are all in large clusters.
But it is light and bright, like catkins and poplars.
Zeng's carriage was babbling and babbling, making two deep ruts in the snow-covered streets.
Zeng Bu glanced at the snow scene outside the window and asked his son: "Shiro, your mother is a master lyricist, she has written about spring, summer and autumn, but she has never written about winter snow, why do you say?" ”
Zeng Wei shook his head.
Zeng preached: "Because Su Zizhan Su Bachelor, he wrote a poem "Bodhisattva Barbarian, Palindrome Winter Resentment". Snowflakes fly warmly and melt cheeks. The cheeks melt warm and snowy. Bully the snow and let the clothes be single. Clothes are not allowed to be bullied. Don't be a plum knot. Don't let the plum be. I don't hate to start late. Late to open and hate not to return. ”
Zeng Wei listened to his father read it slowly, and muttered in his mouth, this palindrome is really interesting.
Zeng preached: "Your mother said that she is conceited and good at writing boudoir complaints, and she doesn't want a lyricist like Mr. Su to write boudoir grievances with a broad and heroic style, and she writes boudoir words so brilliantly. ”
Zeng Wei was silent.
Zeng Bu muttered lightly: "In fact, in my eyes, your mother's word power is of course comparable to that of Bachelor Su, and her style of words when she was young was also as chic as a river and sea." It's just that most of what she wrote later was a resentment, and when I think about it, I worry about it. It's all my fault. ”
Zeng Wei remained silent.
Zeng Bu said again: "Shiro, your mother loves you the most." She said to me very early on, hoping that I would not give you another old way in the matter of marriage. ”
Zeng Wei felt his heart pound violently.
"If you like the lady of the Yao family, it's not impossible to welcome her into the door with six courtesies."
Sure enough, his father knew what he wanted. It must have been clear after the flood, and it was only mentioned today, Zeng Wei was not too surprised, his father has always been such a character.
But Zeng Wei was pleasantly surprised that his father was talking about "six rites".
Can you really marry Yao Huan as a wife?
Zeng Bu stared at his son: "Eunuch marriage, there is not much taboo between master and apprentice, for example, if Master Su asks for his son to marry the little lady of the Ouyang family, if the official family asks, there is nothing unclear." But your father and I, there is no little lady from the teacher's family to take a fancy to be a daughter-in-law, and marrying a civilian woman for you is better than marrying Cai Bian and them, so that the Queen Mother and the official family can rest assured, what do you say? ”
It makes so much sense.
Father's great wisdom.
Zeng Wei was so happy that his ass almost left his seat.
