Chapter 190: Gift Package
Chapter 190: Gift Package
Gift-giving is a science, and the Xie family is well aware of this truth, so they do what they like, and do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to win the favor of the queen mother of the two palaces.
But now Xu Qian also said that he wanted to give gifts, and he also called himself a gentleman's gift, which is a little ridiculous.
The Xie family is a big business, people have this capital, they can give as many gifts as they want, just like that lonely Taoist scripture, not to mention how much money it costs, I don't know how much effort is spent.
This is precisely because the Xie family in order to make Xie Zhao become the fast son-in-law of the palace Chenglong, knowing that they must not be able to bypass the queen mother, so they began to prepare as early as a year ago, first inquired about the preferences of the queen mother, and then prescribed the right medicine, on the one hand, let Xie Zhao read the Taoist scriptures hard, and on the other hand, sent countless people to secretly search for the north and south, and the turning point and the energy spent do not know how much.
And although Xu Qian's family is considered to be solid, but the financial resources are limited, the people in the clan are few, and the manpower is even more limited, although it is Xie Yuan, but after all, it is just a Xie Yuan, and there are many Qing and noble officials in the Hanlin Academy, which one is not better than Xie Yuan? What gifts can they give?
It's just that Xu Qian said with confidence, as if as long as his gift was taken out, he could alarm the four seats, but it couldn't help arousing everyone's curiosity.
Empress Dowager Zhang said: "If you want to give a gift, I don't know what kind of gift you are giving, don't you know if you have a share in the mourning family?" ”
This was originally just a joke, in order to liven up the atmosphere, Xu Qian said to the Queen Mother that he wanted to give gifts, but everyone knows that with the Queen Mother's share, the Queen Mother Zhang must be indispensable, who dares to favor one over the other?
Who knew that Xu Qian was stunned and shook his head, and said: "Back to Zhang Niangniang's words, the student only prepared Wang Niangniang's gift, not Zhang Niangniang's gift." ”
At this moment, the people in the Baoxiang Building were stunned, and even many people had stopped breathing, and they could hear the needles dropping.
This person...... Crazy?
Even if you win the favor of the Queen Mother, but you snub the Queen Mother Zhang, if this spreads, where will the Queen Mother's face go, and you will have good fruit to eat?
Although Empress Dowager Zhang had a quiet temperament, she couldn't help but feel a little angry at this time, and said slowly: "Oh? You Xie Yuan don't know anything. ”
Xu Qian said: "Please Zhang Niangniang Mingjian, the student did not prepare a gift for Zhang Niangniang, because Zhang Niangniang has gone through three dynasties, invited countless pets, and the treasures she has seen are countless, the Queen Mother Zhaosheng, the status is respected, such as the Queen Mother of Heaven, the student has no fairy peaches, how dare he pick up some mundane things at will?" ”
This sentence......
But it is said that the heirloom of the Xie family is a mundane thing, and Xu Qian compared the Empress Dowager Zhang to the Queen Mother of Heaven, and did not dare to give gifts at will.
Yes, she is the queen of the filial piety emperor, the queen mother of Zhengde, and the Zhaosheng queen mother of the Jiajing Dynasty.
For people like Empress Dowager Zhang, what will be rare? The heirloom of the Xie family only aroused her interest a little, and most of them would be bored in less than two days, with her identity and qualifications, there was really nothing in this world that could make her look at it.
The most important thing is that Xu Qian bit the word Zhaosheng, and the thought in it was not to tell the Empress Dowager Zhang, although she did not give her a gift, not because of neglect, but because her status was too high in Xu Jieyuan's mind, not to be sluggish, but not to be abrupt.
This sentence is more precious than any other gift, and it is more enjoyable.
It's just that......
Empress Dowager Zhang glanced sideways at the Queen Mother on the side, and said slowly: "You scholar is really untrustworthy, your mouth is like smeared with honey, which makes people can't beat or believe it." ”
Although there was a bit of complaining in this fairy sound, Empress Dowager Zhang's mind was full of anger, and her perception of Xu Qian was directly improved by a few sections. It's just that at this time, she can't express this kind of thought, so she has to hide it carefully.
The Empress Dowager Zhang was happy, but the Queen Mother's face froze, did Xu Qian's words mean that she would scarce Xu Qian's gift?
This surnamed Xu really stammered one but offended another, and he stammered the Empress Dowager Zhang, but he offended the Empress Dowager to death.
The two queen mothers in the palace were already competing in secret, and now Xu Qian compares the queen mother to the queen mother, so she is also the queen mother, is she just an ordinary man?
The most important thing for the queen mother is face, or she herself is not right, so what she hopes most is to be recognized, and because of this, the queen mother entered Beijing, heard that the court did not intend to greet her according to the big gift, turned around and wanted to go back to Anlu, and finally forced the hundred officials to give in.
Just like a nouveau riche, with silver, he will inevitably have to put gold on his face, and he would like to recognize relatives everywhere, but if he has the same surname as himself, he will inevitably cling to it to show that he is a real nobleman.
But Xu Qian, this guy actually raised the Empress Dowager Zhang, and while raising the Empress Dowager Zhang, he had already unconsciously stepped on her Queen Mother, although the Empress Dowager Zhang's specifications were higher than her, after all, she was the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng, but in front of her, who would dare to talk about this kind of thing?
The Queen Mother smiled coldly, and was about to have a seizure, but at this time Xu Qian said: "Wang Niangniang, this gift for students is more chic, I am afraid that it will take some effort to work Wang Niangniang, this is a bright newspaper sent from Hangzhou in the early morning tonight, please take a look." ”
He took out a newspaper from his sleeve, then handed it to the eunuch standing aside, and continued: "This newspaper was published early the day before yesterday, and there is a very interesting article in it, which was written by the student's teacher Yu Qiaogong, and I asked the mother to correct it. ”
I heard that the newspaper was delivered, and the Queen Mother was even more displeased, she suddenly realized that this surnamed Xu was here to step on the field, could it be that she wanted to learn from those clear streams and use herself to make a clear name?
The Queen Mother wanted to refuse and drive out this eyeless thing again, but Xu Qian mentioned Yu Qiaogong, but the Queen Mother had to dispel this idea, Yu Qiaogong is Xie Qian, who is Xie Qian, how could the Queen Mother not know? This is a figure that even the Queen Mother must not be slack, after all, this person's prestige is too high to ignore.
The Queen Mother had to hold back her displeasure and said, "Take it and take a look." ”
The newspaper was delivered, the queen mother opened the first page of the newspaper, and saw an article, "The Biography of Gao De Gonglie", seeing this, the queen mother suddenly became dignified, this Gao De justice is her father, and now he is immortal, but as a daughter, she has to be careful when she sees her father's honorific title listed in the newspaper.
Then she continued to look down: Gong Gong, the prince of Gaode, and the queen of Langxie Wang ......
Just looking at this sentence, the Queen Mother was immediately overjoyed.
Where did the Wang family come from, in fact, the queen mother has never been able to say why, she was born in a small family, and her father was just a poor and sour talent, but later he was taken by the king of Xingxian, which took advantage of this to soar to the sky, but in the newspaper, they were examined by the Wang family as the Lang evil Wang family.
This Langya Wang family comes from the surname Ji, the crown prince of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty Ling King Ji Jin was deposed as a concubine because of direct advice, and his son Zong Jing Ren Situ, the people of the time called "Wang family", and the descendants took "Wang" as the clan. From Zong Jing to the fifteenth Wang Qian, Wang Jian and his sons Wang Ben and Sun Wang Li, the three generations are all generals of the Qin State, and they are the meritorious ministers of Qin to destroy the Six Kingdoms and unify the world. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Wang Yuan, the son of Wang Li, "moved to Langya and later went to Linyi" to avoid the Qin chaos. When it came to the Han Dynasty, there were many officials in the Wang family, and the real heyday of the Wang family was the Jin Dynasty. If you talk about the top ten wealthy families in the world, I am afraid that this Langya Wang clan will definitely be able to occupy a place.
The queen mother has always had some inferiority complex, one is that she is not from a high background, and the other is that her name is not right, but the first sentence in this newspaper solved the first problem for her, her queen mother turned out to be not a wild road from nowhere, but also after the wang family, and it is also a wealthy family among the wealthy families, but it is just in the middle of the family road of her father's and ancestors.
Think about it, in the Tang Dynasty, even the founding royal family of the Li family couldn't wait to find Lao Tzu to be their ancestor, and when Zhu Yuanzhang succeeded to the throne of Ming Taizu, this guy wanted to recognize Zhu Xi as his ancestor, but then he felt that the age was not far away, after all, it was not as good as Lao Tzu after thousands of years, and there was no trace, so he had to give up in the end. It can be seen that for people in ancient times, whether you are a prince or a commoner, you attach great importance to this ancestor.
The Queen Mother only looked at the four characters of Langya Wang, and suddenly felt that she couldn't help but improve her level by an unknown amount, and she actually believed it a little, and couldn't help nodding her head and said, "Master Xie writes so well." ”
Then she continued to look down, one of which is an anecdote of Gao Degong, saying that when Gao Degong was young, his family was poor, and he encountered a temple on the way to the exam, so he stayed in the temple, and was about to leave on the second day, but was stopped by a monk and said to him: "You have a noble appearance, why is you old and inactive." ”
The meaning of this sentence is to say, you are obviously unspeakable, why are you so old, but you are doing nothing.
The monk felt strange, but he looked like a master of the world, but he was clearly making some kind of hint, implying that the queen mother would definitely rise in the future, but such a small anecdote tactfully said another layer of meaning.
The Wang family must be rich and noble, and it is unspeakably expensive, which is already destined by God, and this monk is just a pretext, just like the worldly masters in martial arts novels will always find a poor boy to say a word of bone Qingqi.
