Chapter 47: Everyone Knows
The first update
Li Hongzhang sat silently at his desk in a daze, and he didn't know what to do. He really wanted to keep his teacher, but he also agreed with Chery's words, in Niangniang's opinion, it was no longer Zeng Guofan's own family matter.
Zeng Guofan returned home angrily, and he happened to see his eldest son at the door.
"Where are you going?"
"I heard that the eldest sister ......" Zeng Jize also left someone in the hospital, in case something happens, it is good to scream, I just heard that the queen mother went to see the eldest sister, and said that it was not very good, he panicked, although he said that he was not lucky in the exam, but he was not rigid, he knew very well that if his sister really had three long and two short, the Zeng family would not be able to bear the royal anger at all.
These days, he has also deliberately flipped out all the Central Daily from his father's dismissal to the present, and read them one by one. He had a strong premonition that his father had been dismissed from the governorship only because he was not a good father. Rather than what he thinks, it's a political struggle.
Excerpts from the daily articles, the idea is also the same, that is, a person who cherishes his political feathers more will really cherish the people? When the people may become a stumbling block to his enlightenment, he may kill all the people who stop him. Zeng Jize didn't dare to think of his father like this, but at that time, his heart chilled.
"Go back, they don't have anything to do with the Zeng family anymore!" Zeng Guofan slapped his son in the face and shouted.
Zeng Jize didn't move, but the people who were loading the car honestly moved the things back. Zeng Jize stood alone at the door, feeling the same as the weather at this time, pulling out the cold, pulling out the cold.
He touched the fifty taels of silver ticket in his arms, which was given to him by his wife, in this family, no one can have private property, even if he is the eldest son who has become married, he can only receive monthly money from his parents.
So, his mother didn't have any money on them, and he knew very well that no matter what, he couldn't really let them live on the streets. But this money is his wife's dowry, and she takes it out for love, but if she doesn't take it, she won't blame her.
At this time, he raised his head and looked at the door, thinking for a long time, he just wanted to go in and bring his wife and children out, and they didn't stay in this house. But in the end, he held back. It is not difficult to get out of this door, but the name of unfilial piety cannot be washed away in this life. Even if he doesn't think about himself, is it difficult for him to think about his children?
He still came to the hospital by car, although he couldn't go in, but he still asked someone to call Ji Fen out, knowing that Ji Jing had woken up, he breathed a sigh of relief, took out the silver ticket from his arms and put it in Ji Fen's hand, "This is what my father asked me to bring, you give it to your mother!" ”
"Why didn't Daddy come?" Ji Fen is the youngest daughter, and her relationship with her father is not bad, and she doesn't understand the world of adults at this time, but she still wants to go home.
"Alright, let's get inside! Obedient and obedient. Zeng Jize gently patted his little sister's face.
Zeng Jize left quickly, not because he was afraid of his father, but because he didn't dare to see his mother. At first glance, his mother knew that he was lying, and at this moment, he only felt depressed in his heart, as if he was about to lose his breath.
On the day of the trial, Zeng Guofan also came, and he was in the restaurant opposite the yamen. As a result, I saw the coquettish Chery couple entering, this is the effect they want, using their own family affairs to achieve their goals, they are just flattering villains, Zeng Guofan really hates the behavior of these villains.
The restaurant was also full of people, but Zeng Guofan was sitting in a separate room, he was more sensitive at this time, and he was very unhappy to see people, and even he was not happy to see his son and concubine.
And his son told him that he was not knowledgeable, and he was afraid that the imperial examination would be abolished in a few years, so he wanted to go to the Lifan Academy to study diplomacy.
Although Zeng Jize said that he didn't take the luck, fortunately, Zeng Guofan has also been the governor for so many years, and it is not difficult to get an official position for his son. It's just an alternate, and over the years, in the shogunate, I've learned a lot from those staff. Now that he is going to study in the Academy, it is easy to send a real shortage, so Zeng Guofan agreed.
However, the transportation in Kyochu is very difficult now, and the Ryōshin is quite far from the place they are renting. So Zeng Jize took his wife and children to move to the vicinity of Lifan Courtyard and rented a small house. It's easy to find a reason because you can concentrate more on your studies.
Zeng Guofan didn't bother to say anything, gave some silver, and let them move away, at least, they also found a reason. In that Ruoda mansion, there are only two of them, he and the concubine, the youngest son is studying in his hometown, Zeng Guofan thinks that he will learn badly outside.
The concubine is an honest person, and she is not a demon in the mansion because the Ouyang family is gone, and she has no children and nowhere to go, so she can only guard the uncertain Zeng Guofan. This home, there were many suspects before, but now it's them, and the whole house seems to have an echo.
The concubines are like this, can Zeng Guofan not feel it? But he couldn't say. He could only shut himself in his study every day to write, suppressing his emotions. On the day of the trial, he decided to come and hear it, but he wanted to see what the world had become of chaos. He also doesn't believe that the people in the capital are like Li Hongzhang, obeying the will of God, and there is no humanity and law!
But he didn't dare to go into the official office to hear the trial like Chery and his wife, he knew that the restaurants, teahouses and other places opposite the general official office would send special people to listen to the trial, and constantly report back to the scene, so on the day of the trial, these places will be a little more expensive than usual. Of course, the business was still very good, and Zeng Guofan came in only after booking a seat in advance.
Finally, the sound of the opening of the hall came, and the noise outside was better, but in this way, the sound in the restaurant was finally clear.
"I heard that this time it was the girl of the university scholar family who was beaten." A female voice outside said.
"Who did you listen to, the daughter of the big official family can be beaten like that. According to the newspaper, the girl had several broken bones and almost died. Another male voice said disdainfully.
It seems that the one next door is also coming to see the excitement. Zeng Guofan was a little relieved, because at least these people didn't know that it was his daughter.
"Also, if there is a mother's family, it will never be like this. It must be someone who has no family to be bullied. If you dare to touch my finger, my father can tell my brother to break your hand. The female voice said proudly.
Zeng Guofan snorted, feeling that this is the trend of the world. The woman can go to the restaurant, and she openly threatens her husband!
"You're here too?" Another crisp female voice came.
"Why did Sister Li come too, but she also set her place and came here on purpose?" The female voice was very happy.
"Well, I was originally with the same agreement, but there was something wrong with the yamen, and I was called back, and I finally settled on the position, so I had to come alone." That Sister Li explained softly. \
Zeng Guofan was so angry that his face turned red again, and the officials and their relatives all came out to see the excitement.
