Chapter 163: Know how to protect yourself

The Zheng family, a farmer, is a real small family.

But such a family, as soon as they entered the capital, it was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, and the water waves.

The Zheng family, which is adjacent to the Marquis of Changning, is really full of guests. The emperor gave a reward, the eldest princess sent a confidant, and the prince of Prince Rui's mansion personally sent a generous gift. The attitude above is very obvious, this family is covered by the royal family, and no one dares to take it lightly.

The princes sent people to express their concern, and the nobles also sent generous gifts to express their closeness.

Regardless of the true intentions, whether it was a show or not for the people above, these actions quickly made the Zheng family establish themselves in the capital.

Looking at the courtyard full of congratulatory gifts, Qian's hands and feet were a little weak. Take out any of these things, which is enough for a small family for several years. How can she not be frightened? Everything is courteous, and if she receives such a generous gift, she will have to repay the gift in the future.

Zheng Laosan sighed slightly, in order to avoid suspicion these days, he has not received a single guest on the grounds of studying. It was all taken care of by Zheng Lao Er and Erlang Wang Xinghua. With such an attitude, he didn't expect it to stop the guests. It is not difficult to see from this that Xiao Jiajun's role in the imperial court is far from being pivotal and can be explained. And this power, now in the hands of the little girl who is not yet an adult, is destined to be unable to get out of the whirlpool of the court. It's not worrying.

Gorou was relieved, "What should we do, what do we have to do." They come to show goodwill, and we don't necessarily have to continue, right?" he pointed to the things in the courtyard, "Let people register and put them in storage." Mother, don't feel unsteady, this idea, people don't take it seriously at all. It's all made for people to see. He pointed to it with his finger, "After all, we are new to the capital, and the water in the capital is deep, so you just think this is the emperor's grace." As long as you write down the people who are close to the Marquis of Changning, don't forget to pay respects, other people's homes, it doesn't matter. The corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, and he glanced at the gift from the Du family.

Qian nodded, "Mother knows what to do." ”

Xiao Ping and Mama Hua, who were guarding on the side, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the Zheng family is all understandable people.

San Lang whispered to the old fortune head, "Make a separate account of the gifts that are close to others." not only includes the Xiao family, but also Brother Erlang's friends and colleagues, the Mei family's business partners, and the bosses and colleagues in the brother-in-law's yamen. Ask Xiao Ping again, and write down the people who are close to Hou Ye and Luan'er. The gifts of the princes and princesses of the clan opened a separate account. These nobles, we treat them equally, and they should be respected. ”

Zheng Laosan looked at his two sons, nodded with satisfaction, and went back to the house to read. They can handle these chores.

Zheng Qingju came over with the girl and helped Qian to the house, "You haven't been steady, you haven't had a good night's sleep, now let's rest." I have these things. Without saying anything, I sent Qian into the house.

Qian is not stubborn, these children's adaptability is much stronger than that of adults.

Zheng Qingju called Zhou Hai's mother-in-law, Zhou's sister-in-law, and said, "When entering the warehouse, be careful, don't tear the sticks on it." In the future, it is indispensable to give gifts to other people's families, and send these things separately, don't make a fuss about sending things back to their original owners as they are. I just looked, although there are a lot of things to see, but they are all things that can be seen on the market, and there is nothing to taboo. If you really come across a few special ones, you can take them out individually. If you don't have a score in your heart, you might as well pull the flower grandma of the Hou Mansion and let her pass it. The two daughters-in-law of the Fu family are also people who have seen the world, and you can take care of them together, and you can't make mistakes. "My family is not a big family, of course I have to calculate. Without them, are they still waiting to be moldy in the warehouse?

Sister-in-law Zhou responded repeatedly. Among these subordinates, she has never seen the world, but in the Zheng family, no one dares to underestimate her, on the one hand, because she is loyal, and on the other hand, because her own man follows the second young lady, which is legitimate. In the final analysis, the Zheng family's current dignity is supported by the second lady.

Xiao Ping and Mama Hua were really relaxed when they saw the Zheng family's affairs. The master's Yue family, whether he has great ability, I can't see it now, but just by not pulling his hind legs, it is enough for the Xiao family to be satisfied. What's more, other people's daughters are really capable. So the two worked harder to help the Zheng family get acquainted with the capital.

Spring is coming soon.

The turmoil caused by the Zheng family in the capital was immediately replaced by Chunqiu.

Lifters from all over the country gathered in the capital, and the streets were a little more lively than usual.

Zheng Laosan also received two invitations from the same year, and took Ghost Five to the teahouse that he had made an appointment.

One of these two people is named Mu Conglin and the other is He Qinzhou, who are about the same age as Zheng Laosan. They are all villagers from one province and one government. Now that he is together, he has some feelings.

"Brother Zheng is now a nobleman, and it is really an honor for me to deign to come. Mu Conglin joked about Zheng Laosan.

Brother Mu smiled. Zheng Laosan waved his hand, "What do you say about nobles or not, you just know bittersweetness." ”

Mu Conglin was about to speak, but was stopped by He Qinzhou, "Brother Zheng's fatherly heart, this time I invited Brother Zheng, I really have something to ask for." ”

Mu Conglin's heart suddenly fell, and he suddenly offended people again. Isn't it a noble person who stabs someone in the heart? Whose child is distressed, this daughter-in-law of the Zheng family can have such talent at a young age, which shows that at home, she is also very pampered. Even as a son, he is teaching. Otherwise, where does this ability come from? And being able to train his daughter like this shows that in this Brother Zheng's heart, he takes this daughter very seriously. Naturally, I don't want to see my daughter in danger. And his dignity was precisely earned by his daughter's hard work on the battlefield, how uncomfortable it was. He is also a father, and this mood is easy to understand. He sneered, "Don't blame me if I lost my words." ”

"It's okay" Zheng Laosan smiled generously, "It's all human nature" Everyone first saw the flowery surface, and never thought deeply about the sadness behind it, he changed the topic, "I don't know what to ask for? ”

He Qinzhou pondered for a moment before he said, "The chief examiner this time is Master Li Pingnian, it is said that he has some friendship with his brother's family, I don't know if it is or not?"

Li Pingnian, Zheng Qingluan's Qincha who tried Zheng Qingluan that year, was born in Tanhua. Can this be considered a friendship?

Zheng Laosan frowned and said, "There are some intersections, but I don't dare to talk about friendship." ”

He Qinzhou said with a smile, "Seriously calculated, the daughter-in-law of Brother Zheng's family is a student of Master Li, how can it not be a friendship?"

That's not wrong.

The students who are in the examination are called teachers, which is the rule in officialdom. And this teacher-student relationship is also taken very seriously in the officialdom.

Zheng Laosan had never thought about this, and for a while, he really didn't know how to reply. He doesn't want to have a relationship with the examiner before the exam, which is not only meaningless, but also makes a fuss in vain. After being silent for a long time, he blushed and said, "The words of the two brothers are really embarrassing to me." He stood up, arched his hands, and turned to leave.

Why did they leave? This sudden change made He Qinzhou and Mu Conglin stunned, looking at each other's appearances, but it was their words that made people embarrassed. But did they say anything?

Mu Conglin pondered for a long time, patted his thigh, and said with annoyance, "I'm really confused today." Offended people in vain. ”

He Qinzhou looked confused, "Why did you offend people?"

"Let's say that Master Li is the mentor of that son-in-law, so what should we say about the relationship between Master Li and Brother Zheng after this Spring Festival? Father and daughter are out of the same family? Isn't it a clear humiliation for people to be humiliated by the ethics outline?" Mu Conglin explained in a low voice.

"Isn't that a bit far-fetched to say that?" He Qinzhou frowned and said, "The three of their father and son have won the same list, what do you say?"

"That is, people are unwilling to participate blindly, so they find a reason to shirk it. "Mu Conglin, this will come back to its senses.

The two glanced at each other, and always felt that this Zheng Sanshui was an honest and honest person, but now they realized that they were really out of sight. People can teach the children in the family to be clever, how can I not have some real skills?

In the private room next door, Prince Rui accompanied Emperor Tai'an, who was in micro-clothes, to listen to the feet of the wall.

Emperor Tai'an put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile, "This Zheng Sanshui is really a clever and measured person." ”

Prince Rui was a little speechless, "Just by looking at Zheng Qingluan's girl, you can know what kind of person this Zheng Laosan is." What's more, since the Zheng family entered Beijing, so many people have come to give gifts, and no one has seen this master. What kind of man is can also be estimated. "Do you need to eavesdrop like that?

"Then how did they live like that in the countryside all these years?" Emperor Tai'an shook his head, looking disapproving of this.

"What do you think a really smart person will do if something happens to the Xiao family?" Prince Rui smiled, "Is it so good that no one pays attention to it and no one thinks about it?"

Emperor Tai'an was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "This is really a person who knows the times." ”

Only then did Prince Rui nod and said, "That's exactly what he said." Not only is it aware of current affairs, but it is also a means of self-preservation. ”

"It's good to know how to protect yourself," Emperor Tai'an said with a smile, "Knowing how to protect oneself and knowing current affairs, such a person is reassuring." ”

Prince Rui didn't speak, but he agreed in his heart. Anyone who is good at self-preservation is extremely life-saving. Then such a person will inevitably be more modest. We will not take any risks. Then no matter how high Zheng Qingluan's prestige in the Xiao family's army is, the threat will not be great.

"The matter of Chunqiu, you let people stare at it. No matter what, this Zheng Laosan will let him win. Emperor Tai'an sighed, "Planting rice in the north is a major event related to people's livelihood, and there is nothing wrong with making an exception for him." ”

"I looked at Zheng Sanshui's autumn scroll, although it is not full of flowers, but it can be regarded as peaceful. There is something to say, but it is not exaggerated, and it is very pragmatic. Chunqiu, let him play by himself, not necessarily he can't go to high school. Prince Rui whispered about the situation.

"Oh?" said Emperor Tai'an, with a slight smile on his face, "Then leave it alone for now, let's see." If it really doesn't happen by then, it's not too late for you to make a move. "If he can get ahead on his own, this person's ability is even more reassuring.

Prince Rui nodded, and the matter was settled
