209 The Great Food King
In the hall, Zheng Peng took the initiative to speak: "Miss Guo, don't come to Chang'an, it's finally time for you to come to Chang'an." ”
Returning to the hall and sitting down, Guo Ketang looked at Zheng Peng like a zoo looking at animals, which made Zheng Peng feel restless and took the initiative to start the topic.
"It's understandable, after all, Zheng Gongzi's expenses are too big." Guo Ketang teased.
This mouth is really poor, Zheng Peng was a little speechless, this matter is not easy to argue, and said: "No way, the personal charm is too great." ”
Being able to be merry and happy is a kind of ability, and it is also the capital of pride, and there is no shame.
It was a self-deprecating sentence, but I didn't expect Guo Ketang to agree and say: "Yes, when I was in your hometown, there were many sisters who knew each other and wanted me to pull a line, but I didn't expect that before I could figure out how to pull the line, Zheng Gongzi went to Chang'an to find a future." ”
Speaking of this, Guo Ketang said with some surprise: "Zheng Gongzi, I heard that you are already an official mover, is this true?" ”
In less than a year, from scratch, he became a five-grade official, which is too scary, you must know that many officials will not be promoted in their lifetime.
"When you do an errand well, Your Majesty is happy, and you will be promoted, and it is not an official official, but a judge of the Zuojiao Workshop and a music official." Zheng Peng said frankly.
This matter is not a secret, you can find anyone in Chang'an to inquire, let alone Guo Mansion, which has a wide range of connections.
When Guo Ketang heard this, he said with a serious face: "Prime Minister Menzi Seven Rank Officials, it's not that the bigger the official, the better, but the closer you get to Your Majesty, the more you get Your Majesty's trust, the better, everyone in the world knows that Your Majesty loves Yinlu, Zheng Gongzi is considered to be his favorite, appreciated by His Majesty, and his future is unlimited." ”
People are more angry than people, Guo Mansion has Guo Yuanzhen's afterglow, and there are sufficient financial resources, Guo Hong spent a lot of effort, so he found a five-grade idle job, but Zheng Peng went to the capital alone, and in less than a year, he found a five-grade judge with his own strength, and the emperor was personally sealed.
Guo Ketang felt that he had a high evaluation of Zheng Peng, but he didn't expect that he would always be underestimated.
It's amazing, Guo Ketang was surprised at the same time, Zheng Peng also sighed in his heart, because what Guo Ketang said was similar to what Gao Lishi said to himself that day, it really deserved to be from Guo's mansion, and his sense of smell in politics is amazing.
"Make do with it, it's better than nothing, it's not as good as Uncle Guo." Zheng Peng said modestly.
"Young Master, Miss Guo, please use tea."
"Young master, Miss Guo, please use a snack."
While talking, Lin Xun'er and Xiaoxiang brought tea and snacks and put them on the table, and after adding tea to the two, Xiaoxiang retreated, probably looking for her brother, while Lin Xun'er stood behind Zheng Peng with a smile, so as to serve Zheng Peng at any time.
The roles switch so fast.
Zheng Peng made a gesture of invitation to Guo Ketang: "Miss Guo, please." ”
"Don't worry" Guo Ketang said with a smile: "Zheng Gongzi accepted such a beautiful servant, why, don't you introduce it?" ”
Ah Fu only said that there was a troublesome turkey county lord, but he didn't hear him say that Zheng Peng had accepted a beautiful maid.
Lin Xun'er is so good, her appearance and figure are first-class good, and her temperament is also outstanding, standing quietly, she can see at a glance that she is very different from ordinary maidservants, like a piece of beautiful jade, thrown into a pile of stones, you can also pick it out at a glance.
Without waiting for Zheng Peng to speak, Lin Xun'er half-bowed and saluted Guo Ketang: "Little girl Lin Xun'er, I've seen Miss Guo." ”
"You are the Lin Xun'er who is not as good as the beaded curtain?" Guo Ketang asked in surprise.
Lin Xun'er's pretty face was slightly red, her eyes showed a happy and shy look, and she hurriedly said, "Don't dare, that's Zheng Gongzi... No, it's the young master's false praise, and Xun'er is ashamed. ”
Guo Ketang stood up with a smile, approached Lin Xun'er, gently took her hand and said: "What a handsome girl, Zheng Gongzi's poem is not wrong, tender as a coco, beautiful as a fairy, Xun'er girl, the first time we met, there was nothing to prepare, this pearl hairpin will be given to you, don't dislike it, otherwise you will look down on me Guo Ketang." ”
While speaking, Guo Ketang took down a pearl hairpin he was wearing from his head, and stuffed it into Lin Xun'er's hand with a smile.
Zheng Peng wanted to go to Chang'an to pursue fame, Guo Ketang just said that he just opened his mouth if he needed to, and did not take the initiative to help Zheng Peng and Zhang Luo, just waiting for Zheng Peng to open his mouth, so that he could not only repay a favor, but also tie Zheng Peng and Guo Fu more tightly.
It's not bad to let Zheng Peng touch the ashes first, and then it will also be important for Guo Fu, but I didn't expect Zheng Peng to enter the Zuojiao Workshop quietly, at the beginning it was just a nominal Xiao Lezheng, and in a short period of time, he was promoted from an eight-rank Xiaole to a five-grade judge.
The most eye-catching thing is that Zheng Peng served as the deputy envoy to entertain the Turgish mission with the position of a little Lezheng, which shows how much the emperor values him.
Zheng Peng and Lin Xun'er's affairs, Guo Ketang also knows, in fact, things related to Zheng Peng, Guo Mansion has someone to deliver news to Guo Ketang, at that time, Guo Ketang planned to redeem Lin Xun'er and give Zheng Peng a surprise, which is grateful to him for giving up the credit of the new printing technology and completing Guo Mansion, but the price of Chunhualou is too high, Guo Mansion has just finished Guo Hong's affairs, and he has to open a branch of braised meat.
But when she wanted to make a move, Lin Xun'er was no longer there, and what was surprising was that now Lin Xun'er was given to Zheng Peng by the emperor, and Lin Xun'er called herself a "little woman" just now, that is, she successfully got rid of her slavery, which shows Zheng Peng's weight in the emperor's heart.
You can also see the weight of Lin Xun'er in Zheng Peng's heart.
Guo Ketang was really happy for Zheng Peng, and he also wanted to have a good relationship with Lin Xun'er, who was valued by Zheng Peng, so he gave a generous gift as soon as they met.
It's really a generous gift, as the flower of Chunhualou, Lin Xun'er's eyesight is very good, and she can see at a glance that the pearl hairpin is worth more than three hundred yuan, and she hurriedly refused: "Don't dare, it's not that the little woman looks down on Miss Guo, but this gift is too precious and deserved." ”
The body of the hairpin made of gold is decorated with a top-quality opal, and two pearls of the same size are pendant underneath, which alone are worth a lot of money.
"That's looking down on me." Guo Ketang's face turned pale, and his face immediately turned cloudy.
Lin Xun'er was a little embarrassed and said, "Young Master, this..."
"Take it, Guo Fu's wealth is strong, Miss Guo has always been bold and generous, and she can't be swept away from her kindness." Zheng Peng waved his hand and opened his mouth for Lin Xun'er to accept it.
He helped Guo Fu to earn ten thousand yuan in the year, and helped Guo Hong return to the court, which is acceptable.
Lin Xun'er hurriedly thanked her, and then stood behind Zheng Peng with a happy face.
Zheng Peng also smiled and said, "Miss Guo is really, let you break the bank." ”
"Hehe, this money is not afraid to be spent, just work hard to earn it back" Guo Ketang said with a smile: "Zheng Gongzi, you said thank me, how are you going to thank me?" ”
"Didn't you thank you just now, why, do you want to listen to it again?"
"Insincere." Guo Ketang pouted and said.
"Miss Guo, then how do you say that you have sincerity."
Guo Ketang smiled slightly: "Zheng Gongzi has made a Three Treasures, and he doesn't bring a little girl to do business, it's not righteous enough, Zheng Gongzi is busy with official affairs, and the two who are married to you are also busy with martial arts, otherwise, let me also get together and promise to help Zheng Gongzi make the Three Treasures prosperous." ”
As soon as he came to Chang'an, he put down the belongings he was carrying and brought Xiaoxiang to come, Guo Ketang also wanted to call the idea of the Three Treasures.
It's cool and windy, and in Guo Ketang's eyes, there are two golden mountains again.
It's really okay to go to the Three Treasures Palace, this Guo Ketang is born to do business, so let her target her so soon.
I don't know if it was for the sake of the Three Treasures when I went to Chang'an ahead of schedule this time.
Zheng Peng thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The three of the Three Treasures refers to the three brothers, and if Miss Guo is allowed to join, it will be against the original intention of the establishment of the date." ”
Seeing that Guo Ketang was a little disappointed, Zheng Peng said: "You can't cooperate, you can cooperate, like cooperation in raw materials, product sales, etc., anyway, there are more than 300 states in Datang, and there are unlimited business opportunities." ”
can't put all your eggs in the same basket, and cooperating with Guo Ketang is for a stable source of income; The establishment of the Three Treasures is for the career and future, and to hug the thighs in advance.
The most important thing is that Guo Ketang is a woman and will marry in the near future, but the industry belongs to Guo Fu's industry, and I don't know who will take over at that time.
In Guo's mansion, Zheng Peng can only have a good impression of Guo Ketang and Old Man Guo, and they all say that people have no long-term worries, they must have near-term worries, and these unstable factors need to be taken into account.
Guo Ketang's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Okay, that's a certainty." ”
"It's a word, Miss Guo is tired all the way, let's find a time to talk about it later."
Just when Zheng Peng and Guo Ketang were talking happily, in the palace of the city of Tieda, thousands of miles away, the king of the Great Food Country, Abdul. In the lavishly decorated palace, Merrick was discussing plans to expand eastward with his confidants.
