Chapter 390: Know the Times
During the Chinese New Year, I always have to visit relatives, colleagues, or go to the boss's house to sit. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Needless to say, the general's mansion is handed over to the people who can come in and sit down and drink a cup of tea, all of them are unusual figures in the current dynasty, such as Prime Minister Su Zhi.
In the past few months, the heating system has been in an uproar, and the courtiers have either sincerely opposed it, or have written books with ulterior motives, or like He Li and others, trying to find an opportunity to pull Cheng Mo off the horse, and only Su Zhi jumped up and down like Mount Tai. He was firm in his creed, and Huo Guang did not hint at it, so he braked quietly.
The General's Mansion was the first mansion among the courtiers to install this novelty, and it was said that he should immediately keep up with Huo Guang's rhythm, but the news he got was that Huo Guang did not agree to this matter, and Mrs. Huo had a big quarrel with Huo Guang for this, and the two had a cold war for several days. Huo Guang clearly stated that he did not agree, how could he dare to move forward?
Therefore, when the courtiers changed their words about how good the equipment was, he just didn't hear it.
At this moment, he sat in the warm flower hall like spring, drinking slightly sweet and bitter tea, smelling the aroma of flowers on several cases, and suddenly felt that this is the place where people stay, he has worked hard for most of his life, drinking spicy and turbid tea, smelling the choking charcoal smell, it is said that the charcoal smell is still poisonous, what do you want?
He thought that his life was gloomy, that it was worthless to endure for many years, and that his ambitions were about to be worn out.
When Huo Guang came in, after the cold was over, Su Zhi asked about the heating and said, "I look warmer than a charcoal basin, but where does this heat come from?" ”
Huo Guang pointed to the Bogu frame in the corner of the wall and said, "The air outlet is in the back." When it was installed, Gorou came to see it in person, and said that the breath should not be naked/exposed in front of people, otherwise it would not look good, and those craftsmen would be installed in a secluded place. Although Gorou has jumped out of the way, he can still do things. ”
Su Zhi naturally understood that the "Wulang" in his mouth meant Cheng Mo. When he said this, there was a rare smile in his eyes, his tone was gentle, and his facial lines were much softer.
It is easy to get a thousand gold, and it is difficult to get a compliment from General Huo, let alone such a pleasant compliment.
Su Zhi didn't feel good in his heart, didn't he say that he was not satisfied with Cheng Mo's son-in-law? Didn't he say that he had a big fight with his wife over heating equipment, and he didn't even go back to the back house? How can you talk about your son-in-law, and you can't hide your satisfaction with the heating equipment? Is there a mistake in your own information?
Huo Guang didn't expect Su Zhi to roar in his heart, and continued: "This equipment is really good, at least the room smells a lot better." ”
Huo Guang made it clear that Su Zhi should be happy, but he was really not happy now, and he squeezed out a smile with difficulty on his face, and said, "Okay." ”
Huo Guang's study is piled up with folds, so when he is not in the study, no cronies will be invited to the study to wait for tea, only to serve tea with flowers. He said, "Let's go, let's talk in the study." ”
Su Zhi answered, and the two went to the study.
As soon as you enter the door, the heating comes to your face, but the charcoal basin does not have this effect.
Su Zhi sat down and listened to the instructions, and when the matter was finished, he couldn't help but ask again: "I heard that the general didn't agree to install this equipment at first?" ”
It is true that he is Huo Guang's confidant, but he is also the prime minister of the dynasty, and it is impossible to say that he does not have the mind that he can replace Huo Guang if he quits the court as soon as possible. He was worried that a sycophant would not shoot well, which would make Huo Guang unhappy and masturbate him, and he couldn't even take this ornament at that time.
Therefore, the General's Mansion has his eyes and ears, and he spent a lot of money to get on it. Huo Guang rested in the study for half a month, how could that person not know? Otherwise, he wouldn't have stood still. Now it seems that it was indeed a mistake.
Huo Guangdao: "It's true, I thought that Gorou was messing around, let him not mess around." I didn't expect to know that it was good after installing it. Terugoro said that this heating equipment is a new thing, and it is unacceptable at first, and it is purely normal. ”
Cheng Mo did say so, after the equipment of the General's Mansion was installed, the heating was tested, Huo Xian saw that any corner of the house was warm, there was no smell of charcoal in the room, and there was no need to burn charcoal in advance, so he was very happy, and praised Cheng Mo fiercely, and in front of his daughter and son-in-law, he ridiculed her husband for not keeping up with the trend.
Huo Guang couldn't get off the stage in front of his daughter and son-in-law, and his face was blackened on the spot.
Cheng Mo said these words and brought back his father-in-law's face.
Su Zhi listened even more unpleasantly, and now what Cheng Mo said is nothing, but I am nothing to follow you? He didn't dare to reveal his true thoughts, and reluctantly said, "It seems that this equipment is really good?" ”
"That's good." Huo Guangdao: "You can install one." ”
The boss opened his mouth, and he couldn't do it if he didn't pretend. Su Zhi was depressed.
His identity is there, even if it is a decoration, none of the civil and military officials will not open their eyes to him, and they will go to his house as usual to pay a New Year's greeting.
When Cheng Mo passed, he naturally wanted to talk about it.
"The prime minister is also interested?" Cheng Mo said: "I'm afraid it's too late this winter, calculate the construction period, I can only install it in March and April, and use it in winter at the end of the year." ”
This year, when the civil and military officials paid New Year's greetings, the most talked about was this set of heating equipment, and in two hours this morning, five people had already expressed their willingness to install it to Cheng Mo. Cheng Mo insisted on installing it in the order of registration, not according to the official position, and Su Zhi said now that it was a little late.
Su Zhi smiled bitterly: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
If he reacted faster, and when it was rumored that the General's Mansion was going to be installed, he would follow the trend, and he would be able to synchronize with Huo Guang. Now, instead of being a human being inside and out, I wonder if Huo Guang will dislike him for not being sensitive, and will the officials think that he was abandoned by Huo Guang and despise him?
Cheng Mo was extremely embarrassed when he saw him laughing, and comforted him: "This year, the time is tight, most people can't catch up, in fact, it's nothing, it's out of the New Year, and the weather should be warm." ”
"yes, hehe." Su Zhi laughed dryly twice and said, "Captain Young Hero, we old guys can't compare." ”
Look at this person, even if he doesn't become Huo Guang's son-in-law, he can be very prosperous, right? Su Zhi sighed in his heart, and became close to Cheng, and said: "I'm in my twenties, if Wei Wei doesn't mind, you might as well call me uncle." ”
Cheng Mo was surprised, aren't you a bodhisattva in the temple, don't you dare to say anything, don't you dare to do anything? In this way, it is clear that he wants to become a good family, and he is not afraid to spread the word that his father-in-law has ideas? Naturally, he didn't need to offend Su Zhi, and said with a smile: "If your uncle has any orders, just say it." ”
Su Zhi was worried about it, he was afraid that Cheng Mo thought he was Huo Guang's son-in-law, so he didn't take him in his eyes, and refused in person, and when he heard Cheng Mo change his words, his smile suddenly brightened, and said: "Wulang, how dare you, how dare you, haha." ”
