097 Outside the sunset of the grass
One tael of gold is equivalent to ten guan, three hundred taels of gold is equivalent to three thousand guan, it has always been equivalent to one thousand copper coins, and three million yuan when you open your mouth, which is definitely a huge amount of money, and the price of the twin sisters is also more than 100 guan.
When ordinary people see this pair of beautiful sisters, and then see the gold ingots, they probably have to look straight with their eyes, and then nod without hesitation, there are these two little beauties, and there are three thousand huge funds, there is no need to worry about this life, what are you waiting for, and I am afraid that there will be no store after this village, but Zheng Peng only smiled indifferently, and did not say good, nor did he say bad.
At this moment, behind the screen in the hall, Old Man Guo and Guo Hong, who said that they were going to wash their hands, carefully watched the movement of the hall from a small hole.
"This market, this money is enough for him to squander for a while, and he is still not satisfied?" Seeing that Zheng Peng didn't accept it at the first time, Guo Hong said with some unhappiness.
Old man Guo said indifferently: "If Zheng Peng had just arrived here, when he couldn't eat enough and didn't have enough clothes, this money would be enough to make him tempted, but Zhongdao alone, he would pay dividends no less than a thousand times a year, and it would be normal to look down on it." ”
"What then? If it weren't for this credit, then what would recommend me..."
If it weren't for being an official, Guo Hong would not have pulled down his face to curry favor with Zheng Peng in every possible way, even if Fang Assassin Shi came here that day, he had never seen him so low-voiced.
"What to do? Either keep putting forward the conditions until he is satisfied, or give up and only take the credit of recommendation. ”
Looking at the gold ingots on the servant girl's tray, Guo Hong said with some pain: "Uncle, the surname Zheng is helpless, this is our territory, why..."
Old man Guo interrupted him and said coldly: "It's best not to think about it, the thousands of miles of embankment collapsed in the anthill, once you have this thought, it is not far from abandoning the ancestral training, why did the pillars of our Guixiang Guo clan fall, but the sky has not fallen, why?" Just by virtue of a letter, faith is the foundation of our life, as for the kid of the Zheng family, he is no longer the poor boy of the past. ”
Friends and old friends all know that the Guo family in your hometown has always been generous, trustworthy and reliable, so after Guo Yuanzhen's death, all parties have taken care of it, there is the old love, and there is also an appreciation for Guo's business, once the credit collapses, the consequences are unimaginable.
Zheng Peng is from the Yuancheng Zheng family, and the Yuancheng Zheng family is a partial branch of the Xingyang Zheng family, who knows if one day, the Xingyang Zheng family will recognize this family on a whim, and after the Lanting meeting, Zheng Peng's fame will be greatly enhanced, so he can't be killed, right?
"Yes, my nephew remembers his uncle's teachings." Guo Hong wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and whispered.
At this time, Guo Ketang couldn't help but speak: "Zheng Gongzi, is it not satisfactory with the conditions, and if we are not satisfied, we can discuss it again." ”
There are connections, and the feelings are still there, so there is an opportunity to present a new printing method to the imperial court for the benefit of the world's scholars, which is definitely a great achievement, and the credit plus the past feelings and connections, Guo Fu has a good chance to return to officialdom.
For this, the Guo family is willing to pay a great price.
Zheng Peng smiled and said in an astonishing voice: "It's only half, it's not enough, otherwise, give all the credit to Guo Fu." ”
Guo Ketang's face turned pale, and he smiled a little reluctantly and said: "Zheng Gongzi doesn't have to be angry, we have something to say, whether Gongzi wants people, fields, or Zhongdao's people, everything is easy to discuss."
suddenly said that he would give all the credit to Guo Fu, is this angry and deliberately saying the opposite?
This matter is related to the success or failure of the Guo Mansion, Guo Ketang feels that the burden on his shoulders is very heavy, for fear that he will become a sinner of the Guo family in your hometown.
Zheng Peng waved his hand and said, "Miss Guo, don't get me wrong, what Zheng said is not angry, let alone backword, you are right, with the current identity, the most is to reward some fields and property, and it is not a problem to get an official and a half-position by Guo Fu, that is to say, this credit can be handed over to Guo Fu in order to get the maximum benefit, why, we don't maximize its benefits?" ”
Now Zheng Peng is not short of money, what he lacks is connections and relationships, like new printing, which is an epoch-making invention, so that those in power can find that a holy decree must be obediently presented with both hands, and it is easy to attract people's peeps, it is better to give the credit to Guo Fu, who is bent on finding an opportunity to return to officialdom.
It's not bad to sell a favor.
"Zheng Gongzi, are you sure it's not a joke?" Guo Ketang paused for a moment, and then said with a look of hope.
can really take credit alone, Guo Ketang is confident that he can find a good official position for his father with this merit.
"So-and-so is serious, not a joke." Zheng Peng said solemnly.
If Cui Yuan hadn't appeared, if Lu Shu hadn't been taken away by Cui Yuan, Zheng Peng would definitely have scraped a fortune in Guo's mansion, and he would have rolled sheets and counted his property with Lu Shu when he had time, and he would be a carefree Taiping rich man, but now Zheng Peng's mind has changed.
People have no foresight, there must be near-term worries, Guo Fu's energy has seen, from Guo Fu's behavior can be seen, love and trustworthiness, Zheng Peng intends to raise the simple interest relationship between the two to a strategic cooperative relationship.
Seriously, if Old Man Guo is a scoundrel and dominates both braised meat and new printing, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to stop him, but they have always been very trustworthy.
If Guo Fu returns to officialdom with the credit of dedicating new printing, he will think of his own good, and maybe he will be able to pull himself when he needs to.
It's time to accumulate some "affection" for yourself.
Seeing that Zheng Peng was not joking, Guo Ketang didn't know what to say for a while, and only said half-loudly: "Zheng Gongzi is really refreshing, that little woman is not polite, I don't know what Zheng Gongzi has in terms of money, Guo Fu will try to meet it as much as possible." ”
Zheng Peng has always loved money, Guo Ketang is ready to be knocked by Zheng Peng, but he didn't expect to touch Zheng Peng and say in an astonishing voice: "No, it's vulgar to talk about money, this new printing should be Zheng's little heart for your house." ”
What, don't want money?
This Zheng Peng, he is not sick today, right?
Such a big credit, just send it? It's not like Zheng Peng's style.
"What does Zheng Gongzi mean?"
Zheng Peng said calmly: "Today, fortunately with the help of the Guo Mansion, it should be regarded as a peach in return, if something happens one day..."
Before he finished speaking, someone said categorically: "Zheng Gongzi is a friend of the Guo family in my hometown, and if a friend has something, he naturally does his best and is duty-bound." ”’
It was Old Man Guo who spoke, and as he spoke, he walked out from behind the screen, followed by Guo Hong, who was so excited that his face was red.
Things went more smoothly than expected, and Old Man Guo and Guo Hong couldn't hold back and walked out from behind.
"A certain letter." Zheng Peng said with a serious face.
Guo Ketang, who completed the task well and breathed a sigh of relief, said happily: "Don't talk about it, sit down, drink and eat vegetables, this dish will not taste good if it is cold." ”
While speaking, he personally picked up the wine jug and poured Zheng Peng a full glass.
"It's full, it's all full," Old man Guo said happily: "Today is a good day, come, we want to drink it without getting drunk and returning." ”
Under the warm hospitality of Guo Mansion, this meal lasted for more than an hour, and when Zheng Peng was helped out of the gate of Guo Mansion, he was already drunk and hazy, and he walked lightly, as if his feet were stepping on a pile of cotton.
Zheng Fu hurriedly helped his young master to get into the carriage, and with a whip, the carriage went straight home.
The carriage had traveled less than half of the distance, and a voice suddenly sounded in the carriage: "Zheng Fu, stop." ”
"Yes, young master." Zheng Fuleng paused, but quickly came back to his senses and stopped the car on the side of the road.
It's strange, isn't the young master drunk and woke up so quickly?
Stopped the car and looked back, only to see Zheng Peng rolling up the curtains, blushing and squinting, looking at the scenery outside the carriage with a distracted expression.
Winter turns to spring, the trees sprout, the birds sing on the branches, the grass and flowers bloom on the roadside, the breeze blows, and the air carries a fresh and pleasant smell of spring.
pedestrians, green trees, safflowers; Small bridges, flowing water, people, everything in front of you is like a beautiful picture.
"I found out today that the county seat of your township is also so beautiful." Zheng Peng suddenly said to himself.
Zheng Fu echoed with a smile: "Yes, the county commander of Lu County likes to make plans, and let people plant a lot of trees and flowers in the county, and many outsiders come here and say that your township is as beautiful as a big garden." ”
"Yes, then so-and-so has to take a good look, otherwise I want to see it later, and I won't be able to see it."
Can't see it later?
The young master suddenly felt so much, and said that he couldn't see it if he wanted to see it later, could it be that the young master was leaving your hometown?
Where to?
