As Zheng Tong said, the Zheng family's usefulness has indeed increased, and it is indeed the name of cooling off. But each household only added an extra 100 yuan and some simple vegetables.

The money came from the main house, and a few capable stewards personally took people to deliver it, in order to see the house thoroughly from top to bottom.

And the value of these things that Zheng Tong sent to Tian Niangzi is far more than dozens of times more than what is in other people's yards.

Originally, the housekeeper prepared more, but Zheng Tong gave up most of it, this money was not that he was reluctant, but yesterday's simple words, he probably guessed the origin of this family, and probably saw the character of Tian Niangzi, and he also understood some of the situation of this family after a little speculation.

If such a family comes up and sends more than 100 taels, it is not to discuss ordinary things, but more like they are here to buy their lives. Zheng Tong was afraid that he would scare them off, so he only brought these after all.

Tian Niangzi glanced at things, and then retracted her gaze, for fear of appearing greedy. hurriedly thanked Zheng Tong again: "The master has something to say, we will all do it, where can we discuss." ”

Zheng Tong nodded, even more kind: "You are not ordinary people, you have already worked hard, of course you have something to discuss." ”

After Zheng Tongyi finished speaking, he looked at Zheng Peng again. That Zheng Peng was not as hostile to him as Zheng Jiao, but after all, he was also a person in the Zheng family's courtyard, and his face was not very bad, but it was not very good. Without waiting for Tian Niangzi to speak, she bowed herself first, and called out vaguely, I don't know if it was "master" or something else.

Zheng Tong didn't care either, so he should respond: "When I saw it yesterday, I thought that your son was good-looking, and he also had great ambitions, and he was ready to go to the scientific examination?" ”

Zheng Peng nodded, and Tian Niangzi took over the words: "Yes, Yes, Wu'er has been studying since she was a child, working hard day and night, and she is going to take the imperial examination." ”

Zheng Tong poured down "Okay", and said something hard to Mrs. Tian. Immediately asked Zheng Peng to sit down and talk, Tian Niangzi was naturally happy, and when Zheng Peng sat down, Zheng Tong asked some "where to study on weekdays" and "what have you read recently" Yunyun, and even taught him some knowledge, it seems that he likes this junior more and more.

Zheng Peng naturally did not deal with people like Zheng Tong, seeing that he did not mean to reject people thousands of miles away, and his attitude was not a trace of arrogance, but seemed easy-going and close, and his heart eased him a little.

"You young people should also know how to look at the situation, it stands to reason that you will wait until next year to open a new department, but now, I am afraid that the imperial court will select talents this year, and it is possible to have a big department." Zheng Tong and Zheng Peng chatted happily, and their words were a little more open.

Zheng Peng also talked more: "I heard that the imperial court has a new statement about students this year, I'm afraid many people can't accept it, do you think there will be vacancies?" ”

Zheng Tong was noncommittal, and he couldn't say anything deeper, but said: "It doesn't have to be in Beijing, and it is also a way out to find an errand in the county after the township tribute." With family members taking care of it, it won't necessarily be worse than going to Beijing. ”

Tian Niangzi didn't understand the specific meaning of their conversation, but seeing that the head of the family, who was much older than Zheng Jiao, was chatting with her son like this, she thought that it was a blood connection after all, and seeing the meaning of Zheng Tong's words, she was already too happy to be happy, and she couldn't wait to entertain everything that could be entertained at home.

Of course, Zheng Tong didn't leave her behind: "Ordinary people can take the exam by themselves, but since they are family members, when there is news, I will make a guarantee for the pendulum to avoid some trivial processes." ”

Tian Niangzi was overjoyed when she heard this, and she didn't know what to do, so she had to smile with a thousand thanks. This half-hour conversation made Zheng Peng's hatred also shake a little, and at this time he thanked his mother together, but he was still quite sober, and after thanking him, he directly asked Zheng Tong what kind of instructions he had here.

Zheng Tong didn't hide it, and first asked him if he knew who Liu Niangzi who came yesterday was.

"Although I haven't seen it, I can probably guess it, I'm afraid it's the aunt of the clan who is too shou Liu?" Zheng Peng replied.

Zheng Tong praised him for his intelligence, and then said something about the current situation in Tongcheng, how Taishou is, and how Taishou Aunt is.

In short, Aunt Taishou is now powerful, but the foundation of the Zheng family cannot be shaken, Now Aunt Taishou intends to choose some guests from each family, Zheng Tong himself feels that Zheng Peng has a good character and has learned people, and should have such an opportunity to exercise well, with the background of the Zheng family, and the experience of Aunt Taishou, he will be able to stand firm in Tongcheng in the future.

Zheng Peng originally had this idea, and he responded with it. Seeing that it was the head of the family who spoke, Tian Niangzi's heart also wavered, and Zheng Tong broke Zheng Peng away again and talked with Tian Niangzi alone.

The talk is nothing more than some promises, only saying that since the Zheng family has such an opportunity, they should let Zheng Peng do something for the family, and there will be an explanation in the future.

But what exactly is said and whether it can go back to Zheng's house, I don't say it clearly.

Despite this, Tian Niangzi didn't want to ask too much after all, but she finally answered.

So Zheng Tong got a full success this trip, and after arranging for Zheng Peng to go with him tomorrow, he was about to get up and leave, but he saw the six-room master who rushed to hear the news.

Naturally, the sixth master didn't come empty-handed, and the people were full of many things, even more than what Zheng Tong's housekeeper had originally prepared for him.

The two Zheng family masters originally had their own thoughts, and it was very embarrassing to meet unexpectedly at this time. Zheng Tong didn't explain, and after receiving the gift from the sixth brother, he turned around and left.

Different from the situation of treating Zheng Tong, the six-room master directly caused two diametrically opposed attitudes and emotions of Tian Niangzi and Zheng Peng.

Tian Niangzi was persuaded by Zheng Tong first, and then received the care of the sixth master, at this time her heart was already full of longing for the future days, and she felt that she must go to the center without losing her weight.

On the contrary, Zheng Peng, who originally wanted to go, had a lot of disgust towards this matter.

Master Zheng Liu didn't have the same tongue as Zheng Tong, and his attitude was also stiff, and after talking about serious things, he didn't talk too much and left.

Tian Niangzi happily packed up her things for Zheng Peng, but she thought that she had sent away two distinguished guests tonight and no one would come again, but she didn't want to go to bed before going to bed, and there was another person she couldn't think of.

When she opened the door, seeing Zheng Jiao standing outside the door, Tian Niangzi was at a loss for a while, but she was really crying and laughing.

didn't want Zheng Jiao's purpose to let her mother and son leave Tongcheng. He didn't say anything about the stakes, but just stuffed fifty taels of silver to Tian Niangzi, and even put a carriage on it, asking them to leave immediately.

These three nobles said one thing by one, Tian Niangzi couldn't turn around in her heart, she only felt that Zheng Jiao meant categorically not letting her go back to the Zheng family, and she finally made a fuss after being weak for many years. Even Zheng Peng got angry with his biological father, and almost picked up a burning stick to beat him out.
