Chapter 60: It's done
Chapter 59 is done
Boss Zheng hesitated. What kind of conditions are offered, the third child can accept it, but it will not make people feel too greedy. That's a hard point.
Even if he doesn't succeed, his relationship with the third child will be like this!
On the contrary, after the adoptive, there are some things that he has opened his mouth, as long as it is not too much, it is difficult for him to refuse. After all, they are brothers, and they are too ruthless but they are honest.
Therefore, there is really no conflict of interest with your own room, and you can even make some benefits.
"Since the fifth child is also in favor, I can't object to it. Boss Zheng lowered his eyes, "After all, I owe it to others, and I can't pay them back." He rubbed the teacup in his hand, "Blood is thicker than water, what is close is what is close, and it is not a big deal to be serious about the name." The brother who broke the bones and tendons, he won't be able to change when the time comes. He smiled slightly, as if waiting for Zheng Laosan to make a statement, "I'm afraid that my father and mother will not be able to talk to the clan." β
"My father and mother are always close! I have a child, how can I really care?" Zheng Laosan's tone was a little stunned, "The second brother and I plan to buy a small village for my father and mother to support the elderly." Seeing that the eldest and fifth child's eyes lit up, he said again, "I mean to take care of the Trotto." First, the eldest brother and the fifth brother have to study, so how can they have the spare time to deal with these trivial matters. Second, let the clan use half of the income in the field to set up a school, so as to block other people's mouths. This can be done in our generation. In the future, the province is not clear. It affected Da Lang and them again. After all, the three nieces are all older, and they are also at the age of kissing. At this time, there can be no more accidents!"
Boss Zheng has always wanted to rely on his three daughters to get married, and when he thinks about it, this is indeed the case. Don't let a small be a big one. He nodded approvingly. After a hundred years, these fields will naturally belong to them, which is also a good result. "Daddy, I'll go talk about it. Then let Dad go and talk to the clan. "If the father goes to the clan in person, the reputation is better.
"Just ask for peace of mind. Zheng Laosan was a little embarrassed.
"There's no way around it. Qian's heart moved, "At four o'clock and eight festivals, those who should be filial should still be honored." How it was before, how it will be in the future. Even eating, drinking, and dressing on weekdays are still filial piety. Except for the name, it's business as usual. β
Zheng Laosan nodded, "That's what I mean!" After speaking, he looked at Boss Zheng, and the implication was that he could convey this meaning to the old man and the old lady, and only take advantage of the bargain and not suffer a loss, and the old couple would never refuse.
Song realized that this was a good opportunity to earn fame, "What does my father and mother want to eat, what they want, we will find out the idea when we hand it over, and our own father and mother can't change it at any time." She was really not afraid that their lions would open their mouths and ask too much, and some people would say that they were not good. If you don't want too much, she will give it, and she will be happy to spend money to buy fame.
"We don't stay at home often, and we give the old man and the old lady twenty taels of silver a year. Mei didn't have too many expressions on her face, she really wasn't bad for money! Uncle and uncle were all running sea ships, and their own families also joined the shares, although it was not much, but twenty taels of silver was just the difference in price of a foreign product from south to north, and it was very unnecessary to pay attention to it. But these twenty taels are placed in the villager's house, which is definitely enough for the family to chew for a year.
That's not a small amount!
Xiao Zhao and Huang glanced at each other, it seems that the second room is not as shabby as it seems on the surface.
Zheng Lao Er sighed, "Daddy doesn't disagree anymore." He smiled a little ridiculously, "Write these in the succession documents, sign and draw them, and don't be afraid that we will regret and deny them." There should be no objection to the fact that the Grange will be written in Daddy's name. β
Boss Zheng was a little dumbfounded. I know that I can't say anything more, otherwise it will really hurt my feelings. He stood up and took his leave, "You wait for news! β
After Zheng Qingluan heard about it, he was silent for a long time.
This is an exchange and compromise of interests!
And she's better at or more used to empty gloves white wolf!
She is a soldier, and the thinking mode of a soldier is to obtain the maximum benefit at the lowest cost.
And now, she understands that sometimes, proper compromise is necessary.
Politics is about compromising with each other!
She's a good soldier! But she's not a good politician!
She really has a lot to learn!
Zheng Qingluan couldn't help but smile, such a compromise is not without benefits, at least in the eyes of outsiders, this matter is very open. Going out is to pay off the debts of the ancestors. They have even arranged for the second half of their biological parents' lives, which is very rare! People say that raising a child is to prevent old age, and this son is really not raised for nothing. Even the reputation problem that I had been worried about was solved!
And be kind and whispering, it is indeed better than your own methods!
"It's too drastic!" Zheng Qingluan muttered to himself.
"Know what's wrong?"
Zheng Qingluan was startled by the sound at the door. When she turned around, she saw that her father had already entered the study, and hurriedly greeted her, "Dad, I know it's wrong!" she bowed her head embarrassedly, "It's a lot wrong!"
"Leave the rest aside, just one thing. Zheng Laosan sat on the chair behind the desk and said in a deep voice, "Gain and loss! Gain and loss! There will be gains and losses! If you want to get something, you must pay the same price! If you blindly rely on some small means to make a big deal with small things, you will not be able to last long." Once or twice is feasible, and every time it is like this, it is inevitable that flaws will be exposed! There is no shortage of smart people in this world!"
"Things in the world are nothing more than the word profit!" Zheng Laosan slowed down his tone, "You understand!"
Naturally, I have already understood! It's just a difference in thinking mode!
She smiled embarrassedly, "It doesn't matter if you're loyal, it's because you're not tempted enough." It doesn't matter if you are decent, decency is because the stakes for betrayal are too low!" This is what everyone knew in the previous life, how could she not understand.
Zheng Laosan choked, "Although the words are a little excessive, Dan Li is such a reason." He said with a straight face, "If you want to take advantage of all the benefits in the world, you will inevitably get nothing!"
Zheng Qingluan nodded, indicating that he was taught.
Zheng Laosan motioned for his daughter to sit down, with a posture of wanting to have a long talk, "Since you are going to take the imperial examination, my father has been worried! Not that you are not good enough in your studies, but that you are not big enough." The woman grew up in an inner house and only learned some small tricks. But one day you really stand on the Golden Luang Palace, and others think of you as an eagle that can spread its wings and fly high, and you will grow into a watchdog in the inner house. When others use the means of dealing with the eagle against you, what will you do at that time?" Zheng Laosan's hands trembled a little, "What's more, the Xiao family is so eye-catching, a Xiao family wife who is on the emperor's list, what do others think? Will they treat you as an ordinary housewife?"
"From tomorrow, put away your fancy clothes and hairpin rings, and dress up like your brothers!" Zheng Laosan didn't look at the little girl's delicate and soft face, "From now on, you can go out at will." Dress up your two girls with bows and swords, and bring medicine pestles. Whatever you want!"
After that, stand up and leave. Leaving Zheng Qingluan stunned.
What he said made Zheng Qingluan cry and laugh. Hasn't she ever been restrained now? How can she be free?
Seeing Mama Fang coming in with the fruit, she said, "Mama heard it too!" She reached out and picked out a plum, "Let's make men's clothes." Wear it at home, wear it when you go out, it's all ready!"
Mama Fang disagreed a little, "The girl just looks like Master An's heart, is it really-" She smiled a little reluctantly. If the master knew about this, he would definitely not be able to explain it.
"Mama, you don't understand what my dad meant!" the sour taste of the plum was slightly bitter in his mouth. Zheng Qingluan didn't explain much.
In the past two days, Zheng Qingluan has been reading books in the room, occasionally lying on the window and talking to Zheng Qingju and Zheng Qingman in the yard, and then handing out the articles he wrote to San Lang Goro to see, asking if there is anything that needs to be improved. Hachi often looks for flowers from the garden and picks grass to relieve her boredom. If there was no Qian to nag back and forth outside, life would be comfortable.
On this day, the patriarch came to the third room with the clan elders and people of status in the clan. has its own maid and mother-in-law serving tea, and Qian hurriedly arranges the dishes for the banquet.
"Over the years, thanks to the maintenance of the elders, the clan does not care, and there are no bad words outside, which has made our brothers grateful to Dade!" Signal the third child not to speak. He will take a career in the future, no matter whether this kind of thing is good or bad, in front of outsiders, he had better avoid it, but with a brother like him above, he can also block it. He was a little ashamed and said embarrassedly, "No matter how many sorry words I say now, it's all empty!"
"The affairs of the ancestors have nothing to do with you juniors. The patriarch took two puffs of dry tobacco, "It was also affected." Everyone knows the conduct of your brothers, and you will never say something that you have or not. If you can't write two Zheng characters in one stroke, it's not a glorious thing, it's over. β
"Then we don't want to go in our hearts!" Zheng Lao Er looked at the clan elder sitting very seriously, "We three brothers, I am the elder, and some things I say will count." At the junction of our village and the West Village, Lao Tian's Zhuangzi, one hundred and eight acres, we have already bought it. and they were all left to the care of the clan. Seeing that everyone was about to resign, Zheng Lao Er hurriedly waved his hand, "You let me finish my words." You also know what is going on at home. My eldest brother and fifth brother can't take care of housework at all, and Dalang has never taken care of household chores, so he is really a nerd who doesn't know anything. Who can we rely on? Let's total, the clan will help to plant, and give half of it to the old house, so that the whole family will not be hungry. Two properties in the city are more than enough to supply one. The remaining half is given to the clan and the school. If you hire a master, it will only cost you a dozen taels of silver a year. The rest will be used to buy sacrificial fields for the clan, adding three or five acres every year, and after my father and mother are a hundred years old, Xiao Zhuangzi will give my eldest brother and fifth brother, after all, they are the ones who serve the elderly, and this is what they deserve. At that time, there were a lot of sacrificial fields. I can afford the cost of the schoolβ"
