In this situation, Lishu doesn't know why someone is so thick-skinned, Zheng Hao saved her out of sympathy for women, but she didn't expect to save people and complain, Zheng Hao didn't take revenge immediately and was already kind, she really thought Zheng Hao was stupid!

Sure enough, Zheng Hao shook his head, and the flame of survival in Shu's eyes was instantly extinguished.

Master Zheng personally repaired a letter to Zheng Yu who was far away in Nanjing, Zheng Yu had no feelings for Shu for a long time, especially when he heard that she had done something to kill her and colluded with the vassal king, so he immediately wrote a letter of resignation and came back.

Shu has been locked up in the ancestral hall for a long time, and the only person she has ever seen is the old servant who delivers food.

There is a glimmer of hope in her heart, in case King Ji cares about his kindness, and Zheng Yu is married to her, even if it is for the sake of husband and wife love and their dead children, she must be saved, otherwise she will be guilty, and Zheng Yu's official position will not be stable.

Unexpectedly, after the door was opened, the first thing she saw was a letter of resignation.

Zheng Yu actually divorced her, Shu Shi only felt dizzy, and then looked at the letter of resignation and sat on the ground. Seeing her like this, Lishu couldn't help but say, "You don't think you're a big guy, do you?" Let me tell you, one of King Ji's male servants has come out to accuse you of bribing him and asking him to drug our uncle. Do you still think you died violently? In fact, you were hanged, and no one paid attention to you when you died. ”

"It's ...... like this" Shu began to panic, if she died as a grandmother of Yu, in the end, she would die vigorously, and the clan would know that Zheng Hao interfered with other people's heirs for thousands of years.

Now, she is also a divorced woman when she is dead, and as soon as people outside hear that she is divorced, whether she is wrong or not, it is her problem.

Lishu didn't come this time to mock her, but to ask her more accomplices, Shu's usually lived in a simple place, how did she control Rongxi's family?

Shu Shi always shook his head: "I did everything by myself, I have lived in the Zheng family for several years, and I have been paying attention to it for a long time." "She is not for Mrs. Guyi, but for Sister Ling'er, she loves Sister Ling so much, how could she become homeless.

In May of the following year, because Shu was suspended, he had a grudge against the Zheng family, bought the male servant of Ji Wangfu, poisoned Zheng Hao, and Zheng Hao almost died. Shu was sentenced to be hanged, and Rongxi, the fake doctor, and the manmaid were all accomplices, beaten with eighty boards, and then exiled to the border.

This time, the Dragon Boat Festival is over, and Lishu is really relieved.

In the past few months, Zheng Hao has known why Lishu is so cautious, and he praised Lishu: "On weekdays, I often say that you are too careful and careful, but now I know what is called the anger of the horseman. ”

"You don't have to be like a frightened bird, things in this world have their own numbers, and they are beyond the reach of human beings. Now that you have suffered such a catastrophe, it is not a good thing that you will not be able to come to Ji Tai in the future. There are some things that are not prudent enough to calm the disaster, anyway, when we have things to face together, we are not afraid of anything. Lishu persuaded.

Zheng Hao smiled: "What you said is true. ”

He has moved next door to Lishu, and the husband and wife can see each other at any time, and since Lishu saved Zheng Hao, he has become more and more dependent on Lishu.

This made Mrs. Zheng a little dissatisfied, she is not a stingy person, and even likes Lishu very much on weekdays, as well as the two grandchildren she gave birth to. I also wish that Lishu and Zheng Hao had a better relationship, but her and Lishu's personalities are completely different.

Lishu is good at detecting things early, strangling them from the cradle, and saying the slightest wrong, and she likes to solve problems in a mellow manner. And the daughter-in-law has a temper, no one cares about her face, and she has a big temper, even if her person commits something, although she doesn't deal with it for a while, she often beats it.

Even she doesn't understand that people are greedy and inert, which is normal, just like the officials in the world, there are a few real clean officials.

It's useless that only you can do it yourself, and it's easy to collapse under such a high-pressure rule. Just like the □□ of the Qin Dynasty, he used the strict Qin laws to manage the people of the Six Kingdoms, and in the end he died in just one lifetime.

But the eldest son obeyed her again, and he used to be pretentious in front of her, but now he doesn't even do it.

This subtle Lishu between women may not have been discovered, but she thought that this was probably because Yishan couldn't tolerate a tiger, and her mother-in-law had only been delegating power for a few years, so she naturally cared about rights in her mind. But Lishu thinks that she has given in, especially on the issue of treating one room, Zheng Qing's health is already well, she still has the same monthly routine for one room, just for the sake of her mother-in-law's face, and her mother-in-law said that the housekeeper power was handed over to her, in fact, the two most profitable big pawnshops she still holds in her own hands, fortunately she will be careful and don't care, otherwise she has reason to blame her for this matter.

But now that she is in power, she will not let it go anymore, maybe she will follow Zheng Hao to Beijing next year, but if she can manage it for a while, she must manage it well.

Just like so many officials come and go, like the river built by her father in Henan, it is enough to be famous for eternity.

And there is also good news about ethnography, since Zheng Hao rectified ethnology, Zheng Qing used the reward system, and then Zheng Hao, a Hanlin who was free, personally ordered his children.

Zheng Jiaxue has a total of five talents who have won the show this time, and two of them have failed the academy exam, but they are also children.

Compared to before, it can be regarded as fruitful.

Zheng Hao also chose two children of his own family, Zheng Miao and Zheng Chang, who he had inspected, and they were both quite motivated and decent students. As for Zheng Miao here, I heard that Zhu Tongzhi's wife took a fancy to him.

In fact, in terms of conditions, Zheng Chang's conditions are much better than Zheng Miao's, Zheng Miao's parents died, and although his uncle is a student and politician, it is already a great kindness to help him get married. And Zheng Chang's parents are complete, Zheng Chang's father is a teacher in a neighboring county, and his mother is from a poetry and book family, and the family is very wealthy.

In terms of appearance, Zheng Miao has to stand out a lot, so Mrs. Zhu took a fancy to Zheng Miao at a glance.

Especially after Zheng Miao fell for Xiucai this time, Mrs. Zhu felt that the time had come, so she made this request directly to Zhu Tongzhi.

"Master, now that my aunt has died, the Chi family still has to keep filial piety. Our daughter can't afford to wait, I happened to take a fancy to a descendant of the Zheng family that day, and the birth was very decent, but I won the show at fourteen, and I think it is a good match for our daughter. ”

Zhu Tongzhi looked at her: "What do you mean?" Didn't the old lady say that she wanted to marry Sister Xuan to her sister's house? Why have you changed your mind now? ”

Mrs. Zhu said: "Our daughter is seventeen, and the Marquis of Wuyang always said that it meant that before, but after all, she didn't say much, this woman is not a big deal, and she stays here and then and becomes an enemy." In this way, it is better to marry into the Zheng family, although Zheng Miao's parents died and he was raised by his uncle, he had an excellent upbringing, and he was also accepted by Master Zheng. Do you think, if such a talent is not set for our daughter now, is it still waiting for him to really go to Beijing? If he is really in high school and born in such a family, where can he still see that we have a daughter? Even if we catch a son-in-law at the bottom of the list, we can't win against others. ”

In fact, Zhu Tongzhi, as a scholar, of course, also hopes that his daughter can marry into a family, if the conditions are really excellent, people will not look down on the Zhu family. Just like Zheng Hao's wife, she married the daughter of the Liu family in Jinghu, her father was the governor of Jiangxi, and her uncle was the commander of Jinyiwei.

This kind of people's own daughter can't be compared at all, Zhu Tongzhi found an opportunity to meet Zheng Miao again, and saw that he really looked like a crown of jade, with a graceful demeanor, worthy of being a child of the family.

asked again about his talent without a trace, and when he saw Zheng Miao's answer, he immediately agreed.

Mrs. Zhu came over again, this time it was Mrs. Yi who said that Zheng Miao's marriage, Zheng Miao was in the fifth room, but his aunt followed his uncle to work, so this matter found Lishu here.

After all, Zheng Hao is now Zheng Miao's husband, and Lishu is his wife, and the marriage can still be half the master.

Lishu and Zheng Hao didn't have any opinions, Lishu smiled: "Although Mrs. Zhu doesn't look very good-tempered, she is very fond of her daughter, I have seen that Miss Zhu, and her appearance and temperament are not bad." ”

In fact, people like Mrs. Zhu are better to get along with, with joy, anger and sorrow written on their faces, unlike Mrs. Gu Yi, Lishu is sure that there may not be Mrs. Gu Yi behind Shu's move, but somehow, in the end, Shu didn't confess her.

Zheng Hao nodded: "Liulang (Zheng Miao)'s brothers are all married and separated, if he marries his wife early, it will be good for someone to take care of it for him." Although the Zhu family is a poor family, Zhu Tong has a good official reputation, isn't the old lady of his family still a relative of your family? No natural person is perfect, as you said, if the Zhu family is good, then it may not be able to take a fancy to Zheng Miao. ”

In fact, Zheng Miao is not keen on this matter, he is still young, and he just wants to do more learning, but getting married has tied him up.

But Zheng Hao's half-promised state, as for his uncle, he was completely in favor, knowing that Zheng Miao had entered Zheng Hao's door, so he asked Zongfang to handle the wedding for him and sent back three hundred taels of silver.

When Zheng Miao's father died, he was the youngest, and several brothers had already occupied what they could occupy.

Or Lishu took one hundred taels to the five-room housekeeper, asked him to paint the new yard and prepare a new set of household goods, thinking about preparing a dowry, Lishu personally asked people to prepare a wedding box, which was a set of jewelry, cloth, sugar vegetables, dried vegetables, wine and meat, raw chickens and geese.

But when the dowry arrived at the Zhu family, Zhu Tongzhi and Mrs. Zhu were fine, they all knew that Zheng Miao's parents were dead, and there were several elder brothers, and they must not be very rich when they got married now, but they looked at the future.

Aunt Dong didn't think it would be like this: "What kind of bride price is only two hundred taels?" That's right. ”

"That's right, that's all there is to it, but there are a lot of eight joy boxes. I heard that it was the grandmother of the Zheng family, but it was inconvenient for them to come out in filial piety, but the name of the Zheng family would bluff people when they came out. That's Xingyang Zheng's! The maid muttered.

Aunt Dong snorted: "Bullshit, what a big family, I haven't seen anything with these sharp eyes." Those who look at the outside are often ruined, and I know that nothing can be accomplished. Mrs. is really, it would be great if she could marry the Marquis of Wuyang, the Chi family is now being reused, she regretted it so quickly, and she would like her daughter to suffer. If the eldest lady can get on the line with the Chi family, my brother can also have a relationship with the Wuyang Hou Mansion. ”

The maid said in her heart, why did you let the wife of the main house listen to you? You're old.

This is indeed the truth, although Mrs. Zhu is not favored, she is the wife of the main house, and she is from the Yang family of Hongnong. Even if Mrs. Zhu scolded her daughter-in-law, it didn't help.

Zhu Lingxuan glanced at Zheng Miao, although he felt a little shabby because of Zheng Miao's thin background, but his appearance was excellent. Especially not like the Marquis of Wuyang, although many people envy their aunts, Zhu Lingxuan also envied them when he was a child, but now as a woman, the person to be married, if a man has married three times before and has been driven away by his mother-in-law, he is afraid when he thinks about it.

And the mother said that Zheng Miao has no father and no mother, and her brothers have no fame, but they can't control Zheng Miao, she is a grandmother when she marries, and she is unrestrained.

Zhu Lingxuan has watched her father's spoiled concubine kill his wife for so many years, and her mother cries very sadly, so she always heard her mother say that it was not good to marry her into a cold family back then, and there were no rules in a cold family, and people like the Zheng family were originally related to her grandfather's family, so she was more at ease.

After the family affair was decided, Lishu also put her mind at ease.

But Mrs. Gu Yi raised her vigilance, thinking about Shu's tragic death, the sixth old lady was sent to the Taoist temple, and everything made her die down, and even the Yinzi money was cut off first.

She was very greedy, but not so greedy that she didn't want her life.

Anyway, it didn't take long for her to leave, that Tan family is not iron-faced and selfless, if she let someone lead her into the water, maybe the Liu family will not dare to waste it.

Lishu knows that she can't catch Mrs. Gu Yi during this time, and she is also very patient, in the year she has been in charge, Lishu has also had a lot of experience, but at the same time, there are also mistakes, she also keeps these mistakes in mind, and reminds herself not to make them again.

After the house was straightened out, Lishu lay on the couch to rest when she was free, and when Zheng Hao came in, he saw her lying on the couch and asked her to go over and personally chase mosquitoes for her.

Brother Qi and Brother Shu held hands and walked at the door, Zheng Hao put his index finger on his lips and "shhh ”

Brother Qi crept in, Brother Shu dragged his brother's clothes, and the two of them came over together.

Brother Shu wanted to climb on the couch to sleep with his mother, but was stopped by Zheng Hao, "I sleep with my mother every day, haven't slept enough?" ”

"I just miss my mother." Now my brother is taken by the nurse to rest in the atrium, and when he is young, he sleeps with his mother.

Brother Qi asked Zheng Hao: "Daddy, my mother is sleeping, let's go out to play." My son has been so hot these days, and it's too cold in the room, so we might as well go to the shade of the trees over there. ”

"I want to accompany your mother, you two little ghosts let the nurse take you to play, but you are not allowed to play dangerous things." Zheng Hao smiled.

Brother Qi had no choice but to take his younger brother out to play, he had been very strong since he was a child, but the brothers were very measured, they just played in the shade of the tree under the yard.

Brother Shu raised his head and said, "Brother, are you so tired from studying?" Why don't you rest at noon? ”

Brother Qi shook his head: "My mother said that I am a reading seed, so I am not tired of reading, and my father taught me to read and write, and I will soon be able to learn." But I don't think my life will be so good in the future, have you seen that Brother Chang? ”

"Of course I do." Brother Shu remembered that he was very generous, and every time he came to their house, he would buy toys for him, and he gave him the chicken bus.

Qi Ge'er said unnaturally: "The day before yesterday, my mother went to his house, I was hiding with you, and I just heard that Brother Chang was actually very lazy, he didn't like to read much at home, and he liked to sleep, as long as the adults said it, he knelt down and hit his mouth." My mother said that he is different from Brother Miao, Brother Miao is talented and more diligent, young and enterprising, and Brother Chang is more talented and more comfortable with encounters. If I have been enjoying comfort every day for a long time, I would also like to be stuck at home, without initiative, people who are too lazy will be lazy and sick. ”

Now Brother Qi has understood a lot of truths, in this world, no matter how powerful your mother and father are, if you can't stand up by yourself, you will be worthless, and you will be a head below others after all.

Just like his father, he is famous and admired by others, not because he is the eldest son of the Zheng family, but because he is Zheng Zhuangyuan. If he is white, of course, others will look at his grandfather's face and respect him, but this respect is definitely not from the heart.

When Lishu woke up, she saw Zheng Hao fanning her, and she was also looking at her sleeping face gently.

"What's wrong? When did it come? She said.

Zheng Hao smiled: "I've been here for a while, and when I saw you sleeping, I was afraid that there would be mosquitoes here, so I drove you away." ”

Lishu sat up and wrapped her hand around his waist: "Although your body has been well for a long time, you can't ignore it, I heard that you haven't slept well these two nights, what's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just a little hot." Zheng Hao looked at Lishu and said.

Of course Lishu knows, after so long, both husband and wife are a little moved, but it really can't be like this now, otherwise let alone Lishu, even Zheng Hao can't get over the hurdle in his heart.

But it's not like there's no other way, Lishu put on her shoes and bolted the door bolt, and now it's Zheng Hao's turn to panic: "Shu'er, it's not right now, right?" No, it doesn't. ”

"Fool, you don't have to be like that. Isn't it a ...... with your hands" Lishu untied her hair, her face charming.

Zheng Hao originally just wanted to express his feelings, and then read and talk with Lishu, his mood would calm down a little, but he didn't expect Lishu to be like this.

……

After finishing the matter, Lishu complained: "My hands are sore, I pull my hair up, and you open the window to let it go." ”

Zheng Hao did it one by one, and looked a little embarrassed, quickly put on his clothes, and squatted on the edge of Lishu's couch, I don't know why, his face was slightly red.

Lishu looked down at him and felt that since she had saved him, Zheng Hao had relied on her very, very much.

The husband and wife looked at each other for a long time, and they felt that they couldn't see each other enough, so Lishu asked him about his recovery: "Let's go to Beijing next year, and my father and you will have to recover?" If your father is an official in Beijing, do you have to be an official outside? ”

This is very helpless, generally father and son are in the same dynasty, or brothers are officials in the court, and they are rarely in Beijing. Just like when Liu Chengxu was in Beijing, Liu Chengzong invited himself to go on a business trip, and when Liu Chengxu was an official abroad, Liu Chengzong was in Beijing.

Now this is the case, Liu Chengxu is an official in Jiangxi, and Liu Chengzong is a commander in Beijing.

Zheng Hao shook his head: "How can I be released in the Hanlin Academy, unless I make a big mistake, I will go from the clear stream to the turbid stream." ”

"That's just as well." Lishu nodded.

Zheng Hao said: "If I am not mistaken, my father and mother should not go to Beijing again this time, but you have to pretend that you don't know at all." In this way, they can rest assured of you, have you found a replacement again? ”

"Actually, my younger siblings are probing my mouth, but she's a person, naturally, she can't say it's bad, but she has a criminal record. In the past, I was cheated of money by the Wang family for greed, and then I returned home, and revenge was not so simple, I let her be a female gentleman, but let her take care of the family affairs. I'm afraid I just fed her appetite. I don't know when we'll be back, but I'm not at ease. Lishu shook her head.

Zheng Hao also gave her an idea: "Then you let a few people take care of it, this one is in charge of this, that one is in charge of that, and check and balance each other." You see that the emperor still has a first assistant and three second assistants in the cabinet, right? The same is true of the affairs of the clan, which need not be entrusted to any one person. ”

"Oh, that's right. But it's good if they all check and balance each other, and it's not good if they are complicit. Lishu frowned.

Zheng Hao nodded: "Yes." At the same time, he sighed: "I really didn't expect the housekeeper to be very troublesome." ”

Lishu smiled: "That's nature, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, isn't there strife?" Otherwise, the peers are all enemies, everyone wants a piece of the pie, and no one really wants to think about the clan, but they just want to make money. In fact, it is nothing to fill your pockets casually, for fear that you will be too greedy and there will be problems in the future. ”

Zheng Hao remembered what happened to him, as well as Mrs. Gu Yi's casual report of 80,000 taels, as well as those displaced people who disappeared......

These people are not officials yet, but they are just in charge of clan affairs, and they have already reached this point.

Tan is also thinking about this problem, she is now teaching women, her husband is in charge of clan studies, and their husband and wife have more money in the clan than in Beijing.

In half a year, the eldest brother and they will all enter Beijing, and the father and mother may still enter Beijing together, but the husband told him that he was unwilling to enter Beijing. Moreover, the Tan family also intends to wait for the sister-in-law to leave, and then take over the clan affairs.

She didn't covet this position, but no one else could take over it except her.

You can't let a greedy person like Mrs. Gu Yi take over.

After taking care of the family business, she will take care of her body and have another son. Although Ning Xiang has a good relationship with her and has given birth to a son, she also said that she treats her son as her own son, but it is not a child born in her own womb, and she will not trust it.

Tan has seen the two sons of the sister-in-law, the eldest is more than seven years old, and he can already compose poems, even if the eldest brother does not succeed in the future, the sister-in-law will be destined again in a few years. And she can't have children because of filial piety, so it would be good if she could have another one.

"Grandma Yi, this is the high-grade Shu brocade sent by Mrs. Gu Yi, saying that it is to thank you for accepting Sister Ling'er." The maid came from outside.

Although the Tan family doesn't like Mrs. Gu Yi, they also pity Sister Ling'er because she is young and is not good to raise in someone else's house, so she takes care of her a little, who knows that Mrs. Gu Yi is polite.

But Shu brocade is too valuable, Tan waved his hand: "Such a valuable gift is not necessary, I will not be punished." ”

The maid said: "Mrs. Gu Yi is afraid that you will not accept it, saying that this is sent by her own sister-in-law, she can't wear such a color, if you return it, she will be put in the warehouse and ruined, if you don't accept it, she is also worried about Sister Ling." ”

Seeing that the maid was embarrassed, Tan had no choice but to say, "Then send it to my warehouse." ”：，，
