76 Chapter 76
Zheng Hao was the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and he entered it with the halo of the champion, but after entering the Hanlin Academy, he found that there were a lot of champions here, so he often buried himself in work, which is also the daily life of most Hanlin.
Of course, it is still very easy to be a Hanlin, there are few disputes, and it is a great pleasure to often be able to taste paintings and recite poems together.
Zheng Hao's popularity is not bad, he often can't get used to eating the food of Hanlin Academy at noon, so he will go out to eat with a few people who have a good relationship, and he will get acquainted with each other after coming and going.
On this day, as soon as they came back from eating, they heard that the holy decree had been issued, and Fu Minglun, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, was chosen as the lord, that is, the concubine who was about to become the princess of Funing. At this time, Fu Minglun was no longer in Hanyuan, although Zheng Hao had known it for a long time, but now that he heard the news again, he still felt a sense of sadness for the rabbit and the fox.
After studying hard for so many years, just to be a pig, I feel annoyed when I think about it.
Some people don't know why, but they are envious: "The prime minister's grandson marrying the emperor's daughter is a match made in heaven." ”
Some people are a pity: "Fu Minglun is also a great talent, and he can't be a colt yet, it's a waste of talent." ”
Zheng Hao glanced at the table where Fu Minglun was sitting on weekdays, and then withdrew his eyes.
Lishu has always had a general relationship with the Fu family, and she is not ready to move around, so she did not send people to give gifts. What's more, the Zheng family also has a lot of things waiting for her to do, the first thing is the marriage of Zheng Lingzi, the granddaughter of the sixth old lady, and the sixth old lady entrusted it to Mrs. Zheng.
She also said a little better: "Mrs., your sister-in-law Liu is a batter-like person, and she doesn't know anyone in Beijing, so Brother Ze's daughter-in-law is even more so, it's a rammer, and I can only trust you." ”
Mrs. Zheng thought to herself that my lord had resigned, and I still had a lot of things to do, so why should I help you find a son-in-law, but Zheng Lingzi's condition is not very good.
It is said that the Zheng family in Xingyang is a family, but most people in the world look at Zheng Hao's outstanding conditions, which does not mean that all the Zheng family are outstanding.
But as a clan wife, Mrs. Zheng couldn't shirk many things at will, so she smiled and said: "If there is a consensus, of course I am looking at it for Lingzi, but what does the sixth aunt want to say?" ”
The sixth old lady smiled and said: "There are so many people in the capital, we won't choose arbitrarily, you can just look at your nephew and daughter-in-law." ”
Mrs. Zheng couldn't, and said to Lishu again: "You have always been very insightful, do you have anyone in mind?" ”
Lishu shook her head: "I want to wait for Fourth Brother Ze's official to come down before I can talk about this, I don't go out to meet people on weekdays, and I don't know about this." ”
"That's right, I thought so too." Mrs. Zheng held her forehead.
Lishu said with a smile: "Mrs. doesn't have to worry about this, marriage is not a child's play, anyway, it is living in our house, and if someone takes a fancy to Miss Zi at the big and small banquets, it is also very good." ”
Mrs. Zheng nodded: "That's all." ”
At this time, Tan came in from outside and said, "Madam, the sixth old lady and the fourth sister-in-law of Ze quarreled in the garden, and the two of them made a fuss, and everyone watched." ”
Lishu's eyes widened in disbelief, and Tan also felt embarrassed.
Under Mrs. Zheng's jurisdiction, there has never been such a thing in the family, because the family is very respectful of decency, and even the louder voices in the family will be reprimanded.
When several people hurried over, Wang was crossing his waist, pointing at the six old ladies and saying, "Dang."
Nian coaxed me to fill in the pit for your house, millions of silver filled in, and now I hate me, if there is no me, my sister-in-law is making trouble to make a few boxes of jewelry heads, where does the money come from? Your old man's clothes should be dressed with fine silk thread, and you won't wear the slightest thread. What I usually eat and drink is more expensive than the emperor. ”
When Lishu heard this, she said to Mrs. Zheng: "You have to stop it quickly, you can't keep making trouble like this, so that the neighbors and girls will follow the jokes." ”
If you want to go back to your own house and make trouble, what are you doing here?
Mrs. Zheng hurriedly said, "Brother Hao's daughter-in-law, you go and make peace." ”
After she finished speaking, Tan felt that Mrs. Zheng was dumping the pot, but Lishu was not afraid of this, because her father-in-law had already made a decision, and it was Zheng Hao who was now the official, and if something happened to the Zheng family, it would also affect Zheng Hao and her.
So, Lishu stepped forward, pulled away the sixth old lady and the Wang family, and said to the Wang family: "Fourth sister-in-law Ze, you are so troublesome, if something happens to the sixth uncle and grandmother, the election of the fourth brother will be over." Since you said that you have married so many dowries in your family, I think one is to take a fancy to the talent of Fourth Brother Ze, and the other is to think that you have a decent life. The capital is not comparable to the place, and what happened to others will know in less than a day. ”
Wang knew that what Li Shu said was reasonable, but thinking that her husband's election was unfavorable, the old lady had to say that she regretted marrying such a granddaughter-in-law, and she couldn't help at all, how about the merchant girl.
You must know that these six old ladies are extravagant, one is a thousand taels, his grandson went to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, not to mention, this time in Beijing, the old lady of the Zheng family also disliked her identity, and sent someone over to serve, which made the Wang family unconvinced.
She was about to refute, but she heard Lishu say to the sixth old lady: "Your old man is also an elder, and we juniors only have the share of obedience, but since ancient times, everything has been prosperous." This kind of trouble will not only damage your face, but also the face of the Zheng family. ”
The sixth old lady muttered, "If it weren't for her unfilial piety, how could I be angry?" Brother Hao, daughter-in-law, it's not like you didn't hear what she said. ”
Lishu said: "Sixth uncle and grandmother, who is clear about housework, not to mention the word unfilial piety, last year there was a mother-in-law in Beijing who complained that her daughter-in-law was not filial, and the emperor ordered the son and daughter-in-law to be skinned and exiled, and the neighbors who did not report it were also a hundred boards per person." All the relatives in the family who didn't notice it were caught and locked up in prison, and the old lady lived alone on the street, although she sighed, but the price was too great. ”
She is very eloquent, no one intervenes at all when she speaks, saying that things can find the key point soon, Wang is a little scared, in the end, Beijing is not as good as Shanxi, the sixth old lady saw more and more onlookers, even if she didn't care about others to see, she felt ashamed.
In this way, Li Shu pulled Wang and said: "Fourth sister-in-law Ze, you are a junior, just make amends." In my opinion, what merchant girl is not a merchant girl, as long as she knows etiquette and observance, she is a good daughter-in-law and a good woman. ”
Wang saw Lishu pulling her, and heard her say that she was a "good daughter-in-law and a good woman", but she was blessed in public and said: "It's all granddaughter-in-law who is not good." ”
When Mrs. Zheng saw that Lishu had brought the situation under control, she stepped forward and said, "How good is it to be so harmonious, let's go to Linjingxuan for tea together." ”
In this way, it will be difficult for the sixth old lady to get angry again.
I didn't expect Lishu's mouth to react so quickly, Tan couldn't help but step forward and said, "This time it's thanks to my sister-in-law." ”
Lishu smiled and said nothing, this is not much
years of experience.
She used to be tender-faced, and she used to have a good voice, but it was useless at all, so she had to be more powerful to control the situation wherever she went.
Relatives have lived for a long time, and there will be contradictions, especially between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Lishu took a sip of tea and said to Mrs. Zheng: "Why haven't I drunk this tea before, but it's delicious." ”
"This is tribute tea, given in the palace for the New Year this year, what is it called'Longtuan Shengxue', but I haven't slept well all the time, and I don't dare to drink it."
Mrs. Zheng smiled.
When Lishu heard this, she glanced at the Wang family, and knew that this was Mrs. Zheng beating the Wang family, you have money, go home and spill it, the Zheng family doesn't care.
But Wang is a little aggrieved, she feels that Mrs. Zheng is soft and kind, according to her consistent opinion, this kind of person is very decent and afraid of people making trouble, so it is generally who makes trouble, who can be satisfied, and can be distributed according to the trouble.
But Mrs. Zheng here, she touched a soft nail.
"I'm eating well." Lishu smiled.
Mrs. Zheng said: "Since you like to eat, just go back with some buns." ”
Lishu looked at the puffing Wang family in front of her, and heard that Zheng Ze originally had a good relationship with the Wang family, but after arriving in Beijing, she knew that she was married to a merchant girl, and the Wang family was always ridiculed when she went out to socialize, so Zheng Ze's attitude changed a little.
This marriage has never been a knife to cut tofu on both sides, the second sister married the Zeng family, and the great-brother-in-law is now taking over the business, running everywhere, and her stomach has not moved.
With his father-in-law, the Zheng family's court is not as enthusiastic as before, and Zheng Ze's alternate official vacancy is also delayed.
It's not that there are no officials to do it, but it will be difficult for Zheng Ze to go further.
It is very normal for people in the officialdom to go to tea and cool, and the father-in-law is afraid that someone has already heard the rumors, Zheng Ze just took 3,000 taels and wanted to go to the customs for tax exchange, and the way was not easy to get through, and he didn't want to be a pusher anymore, so he had to live in Beijing.
After the sixth old lady and the Wang family quarreled in the garden and were dissuaded, the two of them did not stop the fire, but privately pointed at Sang and scolded Huai in the guest room, which can be said to be more and more courageous.
In this way, no one cares about Zheng Lingzi's marriage.
But on this day, a distinguished guest came to the Zheng family, and this person Lishu also recognized that it was Mrs. Geng, the Duke of Lu, that is, the sister-in-law of her aunt.
Mrs. Zheng brought Lishu and the Tan family over, but heard Mrs. Geng smile and said, "I heard that there is a Miss Lingzi in your mansion, who is twenty-eight years old and has a valuable character, can you bring it out for me to see?" ”
Mrs. Zheng thought that someone was talking about matchmaking, and it was not a big deal, Zheng Lingzi's grandfather also served as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and his brother was also a two-list jinshi, and he also came from a family like the Zheng family in Xingyang, so it was not surprising that some people took a fancy to it, so she asked Zheng Lingzi to come over.
This Mrs. Geng was originally a cold person, but her face was as smiling as a flower, she looked at Zheng Lingzi and said: "The more I look at this girl, the more I like this girl's character, if Mrs. Zheng doesn't dislike it, I want to recognize her as my goddaughter." ”
"Goddaughter?" Mrs. Zheng was chewing on this sentence, not knowing what this Mrs. Geng meant.
Lishu quickly figured out according to her previous life that this was choosing a concubine for the envoy and her relatives, and she was about to stop her first. Zheng Lingzi, this girl, is probably the sister-in-law who has been alone for too long, for fear of losing the opportunity, she actually said beautifully: "The posture of the little girl Pu Liu, she can enter the eyes of the lady, and she is willing to lift the little girl, I am really grateful." ”!
