Chapter 499: The Ending
Everyone in the capital envied Xie Rongzhao for having a father who was the first assistant, and later after her father resigned, everyone felt that her good luck was running out, and many high-ranking ladies were ready to move, and wanted to recommend themselves to Cheng Jingzhou.
Of course, although there are such thoughts, no one dares to make it too obvious.
Why?
Cheng Jingzhou is the secretary of the household department, and Xie Ronglang is also the secretary of the ministry at this time, they are both real power and cannot be provoked!
The most important thing is that everyone also remembered during a palace banquet that although Xie Ge Lao retired, he was a veritable emperor, especially when His Majesty called Senior Sister to Xie Rongzhao, everyone reacted, Xie Rongzhao is really an existence that they can't provoke.
Xie Rongzhao now has two sons and a daughter, and Cheng's mother is also happy, guarding her grandchildren at home every day, not to mention how satisfied.
Xie Rongzhao and Cheng Jingzhou's eldest son, the big name Cheng Hao, the little name Tuan Tuan, is now eight years old, and his knowledge can be said to be the most solid among his age.
Why?
There is a grandfather who serves in the national prison at the head of the family, and there is a maternal grandfather who used to be the emperor's master when he goes out, both of whom are afraid that he will learn less things, and they can't wait to block him from reading and practicing calligraphy every day.
Cheng Hao is also very helpless, he is only eight years old!
Can you not talk to him about officialdom etiquette now, let alone about governing the world!
Xie Rongzhao didn't know that her son was so aggrieved in her heart, but she felt sorry for her son's hard study, so she would change her way to make up for her son's body.
In addition, Xie Rongzhao also made a rule with Cheng Jingzhou, every half a month, he must let his son rest for a day, and he is not allowed to assign homework, just let him rest, play whatever he wants, and sleep as long as he wants!
Cheng Jingzhou didn't want to agree, how could he spoil the child so much?
But when I think about it again, when I was young, it didn't seem to be so hard.
Looking at his wife's obviously dissatisfied eyes, what else could Cheng Jingzhou say?
I had to agree.
In this way, Xie Rongzhao gave his son a two-day rest, which made Cheng Hao very happy.
On this day, Cheng Hao finished writing all his schoolwork, and then sent it to his father's study in person.
Cheng Hao put it away in an orderly manner, turned around and ran to the backyard with a three-foot high, shouting as he ran: "A-Niang, I'm done writing, let's go to Zhuangzi now!" ”
Xie Rongzhao is also ready here, seeing that it is still early, it is not too late to leave the city.
"Okay, your grandmother has already packed up, let's go, you go and call your second brother, I'll go and invite your grandmother."
"Got it, A-Niang."
So, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren went out of the city gate together, and at this time, Cheng's father and Cheng Jingzhou didn't know that their father and son had been left behind.
When Cheng Jingzhou arrived home, he found that his father was alone in the front hall, and he had a gloomy face.
"Father, what's wrong?"
Father Cheng snorted heavily: "What's wrong?" I want to ask you! What about the head of the family? ”
Cheng Jingzhou blinked innocently, and then turned his head to look at Ping'an.
Ping An was helpless, and stood up hard: "Mrs. and Mrs. Tai took the three little masters to Zhuangzi together. said that the eldest young master would rest tomorrow, just to have a happy day. ”
Only then did Cheng Jingzhou understand why his father was so angry.
Dare to love is a huge mansion, and only the two of them are left?
Cheng Jingzhou was helpless, everyone was gone, and it was useless to be angry again.
And looking at this sky, the city gate is closed, right?
It seems that you have to go to court tomorrow, forget it, accept your fate.
Xie Rongzhao and his party didn't know that the father-in-law of the family was angry, and he was eating roast lamb shank with his mother-in-law and three children.
Where do sheep come from?
Of course, it was raised by Zhuangzi!
And Xie Rongzhao deliberately asked his subordinates to roast the leg of mutton until it was seven ripe, and then served it together with the charcoal fire, and they roasted it while eating, that feeling was simply not too satisfying!
And what made Cheng's father even more angry was that he went to Guozijian to take class, and Xie Xiuwen actually took Liu Ruolan to Zhuangzi, now it's okay, people are elders and grandsons who play happily, only their grandfather and son no one cares.
However, Xie Xiuwen has not been proud for a few years, how can Emperor Qingfeng see that Nengchen has been an idler?
So, Xie Xiuwen was made a prince and a prince again, and then continued to teach the new prince.
Xie Xiuwen was speechless, who did he provoke whom, he originally thought that he could take his grandchildren when he was idle early, why did he become a gentleman again?
At the age of 37, Cheng Jingzhou became the first assistant of the cabinet, and four years later, Xie Ronglang became the second assistant.
As for Xie Ronghui, throughout his life, he has not been able to cross the hurdle of the four grades.
First, because of his limited ability, he was much older than Xie Ronglang; Moreover, there is a younger brother who has entered the cabinet, and his career is destined to not go far.
Xie Ronghui has nothing to complain about this.
He was able to take the Jinshi exam himself, thanks to his father's teaching, otherwise, if he had stayed in Gaoyang County, he would have to wait until he was thirty years old if he wanted to be promoted, let alone Zhongjinshi?
Xie Ronghui's children are generally talented, and his eldest son was only talented when he was 20 years old.
Xie Ronglang's eldest son's qualifications are mediocre, and he has no intention of pursuing a career, and after the middle move, he went to Mingshan Academy to be a gentleman.
The second son's talent is okay, but it is far inferior to his father, who was talented at the age of eighteen, and only after six years was he promoted again.
In this regard, Emperor Qingfeng was very relieved.
After all, the Xie family has been prosperous for two generations, and if it is still a talent for governing the world for the third time, as an emperor, he must be a little more jealous.
Cheng Jingzhou's eldest son was much concerned by the Cheng and Xie families, and he was indeed smart, so when he was twenty years old, he was in Tanhua, although he did not fall into his father's prestige, but this was obviously worse than Cheng Jingzhou back then.
When the prince chose to study with him, he considered Cheng Hao and Xie Ronghui's eldest son, but the one of the Xie family didn't go down, and Cheng Hao missed the assessment because of illness at the time.
Emperor Qingfeng thought that Cheng Jingzhou did it on purpose, but he sent a doctor to see it, only to find that the child had a high fever, and he should have suffered from a cold.
Cheng Hao also did not get closer to the prince's faction, so Cheng Jingzhou has always been heavily used by Emperor Qingfeng.
No matter how much the emperor loves his son, he is also a little jealous.
In the twenty-second year of Emperor Qingfeng, the prince secretly hid the dragon robe, and was abolished by the heart of rebellion, after the queen interceded, Emperor Qingfeng demoted the prince to King Jing, and lived in the palace of King Jing, at that time, Xie Xiuwen had passed away.
In the twenty-fifth year of Qingfeng, Emperor Qingfeng established his third son as the crown prince, Cheng Jingzhou was crowned the crown prince, and Xie Ronglang was crowned the prince and prince.
In the thirty-first year of Qingfeng, the emperor was in mourning.
The crown prince succeeded to the throne and changed the year name to Yuansheng.
In the second year of Yuansheng, Cheng Hao was promoted to the secretary of the ministry, and after Cheng Jingzhou resigned, he returned to his hometown with his wife.
