"Big brother, you say, will something happen in the Western Regions?" Zheng Peng said a little worriedly.

"No" Guo Ziyi said with certainty: "The crusade against the Great Food Country, although the tribes in the Western Regions have gained a lot, but the casualties are too great, and they need a period of time to recuperate. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Ziyi said wisely: "The crying child has milk to drink, Zhang Xiaosong has fallen, Glolu will definitely cry for a while, but it doesn't matter, the emperor has sent a member of the military department to appease him, and the Glolu family will definitely be fine." ”

Zheng Peng nodded and said, "It's okay, if you really dare to make a move, the emperor will definitely not be soft." ”

Tang Guoli is strong, he is the overlord of the East, and he has the ability to "strike first", in fact, there is the Tang generation, no matter how strong or weak the country is, Li Tang has never been afraid of anyone.

In a word, if you don't accept it, do it.

Guo Ziyi said with some dissatisfaction: "Third brother, Sister Ling didn't say anything when she came, it's too embarrassing to see that I am empty-handed." ”

After coming to the door, Guo Ziyi saw Zheng Bing and wanted to give a greeting gift, but she couldn't find a suitable one all over her body, and now she complains about Zheng Penglai.

"She's my sister, and she doesn't lack anything, but if you want to give a gift, it's better to find a wishful husband for my sister, this is the best gift."

"Huh, Xiaoice wants to find a husband?" Guo Ziyi said with interest: "Haven't you been married yet?" This kind of thing should be decided by the parents, how can the third brother worry about it? ”

Zheng Peng briefly told Zheng Bing about it, and then said with a wry smile: "The fourth uncle is just a daughter, among so many brothers and sisters, I love this sister the most, bring her to Chang'an, just open your eyes, and by the way, see if there is a good marriage waiting for her." ”

"Every family has a difficult scripture to read, look at it a little" Guo Ziyi opened his mouth and asked: "Third brother, what do you have requirements for your future sister-in-law?" ”

"There are not many requirements, that is, dignified appearance, good conduct, good family style, the most important thing is that the two are happy, and the two of them must meet each other." Zheng Peng thought for a moment and emphasized the importance of mutual affection.

For girls, it is far better to find someone they like than to find a prominent family.

It's just that the family situation is not good for a while, and you can fund and subsidize it at any time.

Guo Ziyi's eyes lit up, and he pulled Zheng Peng aside and said, "Third brother, if a certain person introduces Xiaoice to She's disciple Jue, what do you think?" ”

"Ziqi?"

"My father has nine sons, a certain is the second, Ziqi is the younger brother, the fifth, he is studious, dignified, his biggest interest is to read and write articles, they are all his own brothers and do not hide from you, the younger brother is slightly lacking in self-motivation, but the character is absolutely fine, I see that the two are also very compatible, I don't know what the third brother thinks?"

has been with Zheng Peng for a long time, Guo Ziyi is also clear about Zheng Peng's character and potential, if he can promote the marriage between his younger brother and Zheng Peng's sister, it will be kissing and kissing.

Guo Ziyi is very optimistic about Zheng Peng's future.

Another point is that Guo Ziyi has a wide range of knowledge, unique vision, has a unique set of views on people and things, and likes to look at other people's eyes when observing them, because Guo Ziyi firmly believes that the eyes are a mirror that reflects his inner character, and this unique method has been verified many times.

From Zheng Bing's eyes are very clear, shy and resolute, Guo Ziyi knows at a glance that his character will not be bad.

If it can be matched with Ziqi, it can be regarded as a good match.

"Okay, the premise is that the two of them look at each other." Zheng Peng immediately expressed his position.

Guo Mansion is an official family, Old Man Guo teaches well, Guo Ziyi is a proper thigh, Guo Ziyi is Guo Ziyi's brother, it must not be far behind, if Xiaoice can marry into Guo Mansion, the fourth uncle and his wife will definitely raise their hands in agreement.

It's a hundred times stronger than the overlord of the Shi family who puts money and has a bad temper.

Guo Ziyi laughed: "Ziqi has long thought of traveling to Chang'an, and he will write a letter to his father when he goes back." ”

"Then you have to hurry" Zheng Peng said with a smile: "My sister is naturally beautiful, and when I went to visit the East and West markets today, many noble sons looked sideways, and some people took the initiative to inquire." ”

"Good!" Guo Ziyi responded in one bite.

Now Zheng Peng is an upstart in the DPRK and a celebrity in front of the emperor, and anyone with a discerning eye can see Li Longji's love for Zheng Peng: the western expedition is not over yet, Zheng Peng has been rewarded, and the most enviable thing is that Zheng Peng inspected the armaments of Hebei Province, which was clearly His Majesty's connivance to him to act cheaply, and supported him to snatch back his beloved.

For this kind of person, the family naturally tries their best to win him over, even if he can't win over Zheng Peng, he will also win over his people.

Guo Ziyi suddenly asked: "Patronizing Sister Ling's business, third brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I've asked someone to negotiate with Cui Yuan's old boy, and I think there will be news soon."

"Okay, if you move fast enough, who will you find to be a matchmaker? Let me guess, is it Yao Kaifu? Guo Ziyi asked.

Although Yao Chong resigned, Li Longji was reluctant to let him go, so he sealed a Kaifu Yi and the Third Division, let him go to the court once every five days, and consulted him specifically when he encountered major political affairs, and his reputation in the Tang Dynasty was very high.

Zheng Peng once sold him a big favor, if Yao Chong came forward, he would definitely be very dignified.

"It's not"

"Gonggong Gao, or King Shen?"

"Don't guess," Zheng Peng took the initiative to reveal: "It's Zhang Jiuling, a member of the Ministry of Rites." ”

Guo Ziyi nodded and said: "It turned out to be him, yes, Zhang said that he is a proud protégé, whether it is fame or status, Zhang Wailang is very suitable." ”

At this time, the drums of the curfew sounded, and the sound of closing the door was faintly heard, Guo Ziyi looked at the sky, and then looked at the small house where Zheng Peng lived, frowned and said, "Third brother, where will you live tonight?" ”

Eating and drinking and sleeping, thick-skinned, Zheng Peng spread his hands: "The conditions are limited, go to the ear room for a while." ”

"Don't go, the land is inhabited by people, and it smells sour."

"There is a hostel in the fang, which is quite clean, so I will let Huang San book a room first."

"That hostel doesn't seem to be clean."

Zheng Peng said helplessly: "What does the eldest brother propose?" You don't want to squeeze in with me, do you? ”

"That's not good, I don't have that hobby" Guo Ziyi said with some twists: "Isn't there a teaching workshop in the workshop, the third brother is familiar with the way, just arrange it." ”

“...... It's simple, I'll let Huang San accompany my eldest brother in a while, and it must be arranged properly. Zheng Peng said generously.

This guy is a heart, and he specially picked it until the curfew was about to come, and then this is not good, it doesn't work, it turns out that he wants to go to the teaching workshop to hunt for beauty, amazing, Xinna's three-room concubine is not satisfied, and he is looking for a chance to play wild food.

I have to say that this cargo is very good.

On the third day after returning to Chang'an, Zheng Peng first reported to the Ministry of Officials, but General Dingyuan was an idle post and had no tasks, so the officials of the Ministry complimented Zheng Peng, and then asked Zheng Peng to go back and wait for the notice.

Both substantive and casual positions are Datang civil servants, the difference is that the real job has specific positions, while the fictitious job sits and waits, as for the salary, you can only receive half of it when you are free.

Where does Zheng Peng care about these, let alone deducting half, as long as he can be free, he is willing to post it upside down.

After reporting, when he came out of the ministry, Zheng Peng felt that the weather was fresh and refreshing, and his steps were much brisker.

"Young master, what work has been arranged by the officials?" Seeing Zheng Peng's spring breeze on his face, Huang San asked with a smile.

Zheng Peng laughed: "There is no arrangement for the time being, go back and wait for the notice, and now, you can only receive half of it." ”

Huang San smiled a little helplessly, and then asked, "Young Master, where are you going now?" ”

Others are officials, very motivated, for fear that there will be no arrangement, because if you want to be promoted, you have to perform, and if you want to perform, you have to have a real job, Zheng Peng is good, and there is no work arrangement as if he has earned it.

In Datang, this is also unique.

Zheng Peng thought for a while and said, "Let's go, go to Yongning Fang." ”

As soon as Huang San heard this, he knew that Zheng Peng was looking for Zhang Jiuling, and Zhang Jiuling had recently moved to Yongning Fang due to the problem of rent.

Two quarters of an hour later, Zheng Peng arrived at Zhang Jiuling's rented place, but Zhang Jiuling was practicing calligraphy, and a lot of used rice paper was placed in the lobby, and surprisingly, the two big characters "Feng Qi" were written on it.

Zhang Jiuling in front of him, practicing calligraphy seems to be a habit.

Finally equal to Zhang Jiuling put down the pen, Zheng Peng took out a word that he felt was the best written, put it in front of Zhang Jiuling, and said unceremoniously: "I've waited for so long, this one belongs to me, great talent, sign it." ”

Zhang Jiuling's handwriting is very good, which is recognized in Chang'an, and the addition of the next generation of fame, it must be valuable to keep it, and collect it well, even if you can't use it, it is also a wealth for future generations.

"The eyes are really poisonous, just this one has the most feeling, let you pick it, okay, it's rare that the cold house has something that General Zheng likes, a certain sign." Zhang Jiuling happily signed and solemnly marked his own seal. 、

The words written are flattering, which is a kind of affirmation.

Chang'an knows that Zheng Peng likes to collect calligraphy and paintings, but he only collects calligraphy and paintings of famous people, which can make Zheng Peng look at it, and Zhang Jiuling has a feeling of being affirmed.

Zheng Peng handed the words to Huang San on the side, and said straight to the point: "Brother Zishou, I have such leisure to practice calligraphy here, I haven't forgotten it, right?" ”

Just waiting for Zhang Jiuling to reply, he was good, and practiced calligraphy at this time.

Zhang Jiuling seemed to expect Zheng Peng to ask about this, and joked when he heard the words: "If you have a chance, I really want to see Miss Cui's face with my own eyes and see what kind of face it is, so that Brother Feiteng is so desperate." ”

"I'll talk about these things later, I'll entrust you with my business...."

"Ninety percent of the successes"

Zheng Peng said in surprise: "Ninety percent of success? What do you mean? ”

Zhang Jiuling said with a smile: "Brother Feiteng, after being entrusted by you, I came to the door the next day and told me about the opportunity, Cui Yushi did not object, but he said that he needed to ask Miss Cui's opinion." ”

"Nonsense, when will Cui Yuan respect Lu Shu's opinion, it is clearly an excuse." Zheng Peng said without hesitation.

"Don't worry" Zhang Jiuling analyzed: "The excuse is actually a positive signal, at least I didn't say the reaction, and I said that I was optimistic about the two of you." ”

Zheng Peng pursed his lips and said, "That's his appetite for hanging." ”

There are some estrangements, which are not so easy to decompose, and some prejudices that are not so easy to change, especially when Cui Yuan failed to set up a score in Yuancheng and broke up unhappily, Zheng Peng had already guessed that this matter would not go too well.

It's good news, at least he gave Zhang Jiuling a lot of face, not only met him smoothly, but also rarely showed his attitude.

Zhang Jiuling soothed: "Actually, it is understandable that Cui Yushi is a white-headed person sending a black-headed person, and he regards Miss Lushu as the pearl of his palm, and it is reasonable not to bear her to leave, but judging from his attitude, this marriage is only a matter of time." ”

"Is it morning or late?" Zheng Peng said with a wry smile.

His life is in the hands of others, Zheng Peng doesn't like this feeling very much.

Zhang Jiuling comforted: "As long as the kung fu is deep and the iron rod is sharpened into a needle, according to a certain point of view, Cui Yushi has acquiesced to this marriage in his heart, but some small issues have not yet reached a consensus, as for what the problem, it depends on Brother Feiteng, because you know him best." ”

"Understood" Zheng Peng arched his hand to Zhang Jiuling and said: "Brother Zishou, you work hard, have a good chat with him, see what he needs, you can talk about anything." ”

Yuancheng offended the old boy, although it was unintentional, Cui Yuan's little family was angry, and he must be unhappy in his heart, so let Zhang Jiuling inquire about it.

"It's not hard" Zhang Jiuling pointed to the pile of words on the desktop that said "The Wind Rises" and said: "When I went to Guo Mansion to propose marriage, I didn't expect to accidentally see the true works of Wang Youjun, this trip is worth it, it's worth it." ”

It is already very good to be able to let Zheng Peng owe a relative and have a good relationship with the Boling Cui family, but I didn't expect to see the authentic works of Wang Youjun in the Cui Mansion, and Zhang Jiuling felt that he had made a lot of money.

In particular, the success rate of this family affair is very high.

Wang Youjun?

Isn't that the book saint Wang Xizhi?

Zheng Peng was happy in his heart: I didn't expect the old boy to have this kind of treasure, and in the future generations, even copying his works can be sold at sky-high prices, if the real work is ......

For a while, Zheng Peng's thoughts were like lightning, and he was already thinking about how to make this calligraphy work a part of Lu Shu's dowry.

"Feiteng, you... You okay? Zhang Jiuling asked.

"Oh, oh, it's okay, it's okay." Zheng Peng came back to his senses and hurriedly responded.

also said that it was okay, with a rippling face, I don't know if I thought of that Miss Cui family.

Zhang Jiuling was going to explain the situation to Zheng Peng later, but he didn't expect Zheng Peng to arrive early, what kind of hurry did this little guy become? Sure enough, it's a young man, and it's too much to breathe.

Zhang Jiuling didn't break it, patted Zheng Peng's shoulder and said, "Feiteng rest assured, this matter must be grasped quickly, and strive to let you hug the beauty as soon as possible." ”

It is rare to have a close opportunity, and Zhang Jiuling naturally wants to make good use of it and expand his network.

Maybe Cui Yuan is in a good mood and takes out a few treasured calligraphy for himself to observe, then he will make a lot of money.

"Brother Zishou, thank you so much, I don't know what to say, by the way, is the activity still generous?"

"It's still free, rest assured, put it on someone." Zhang Jiuling patted his heart and said.

can count in one fell swoop, even if Zheng Peng doesn't need to mention it, Zhang Jiuling will also be interested.

The two chatted for a while, and Zheng Peng also said goodbye and went home, and he had to wait for a while.

Regardless of whether Cui Yuan really asked for Lu Shu's opinion, the journey from Chang'an to Boling is not short, and it takes a lot of time to come and go, Cui Yuan has to drag it out for a while, and it is useless for him to be in a hurry.

Maybe the more anxious he is, the more this old boy hangs his appetite.
