Facing Steward Guo's greeting, the old man just snorted in response.

Most of the servants of the Tang Dynasty call the head of the family the eldest man, and some people call him the uncle or master, and now they call him "uncle", which shows that he is higher than the master of the family.

Zheng Peng stood like a chicken, his face was blue and red for a while, not to mention how embarrassing it was.

Dressed plainly, no people, no shelf, I thought he was an ordinary sweeping old man, I never thought that he was the elder of the Guo family, Zheng Peng read the novel and knew that there was a hidden sweeping monk, I didn't expect that there was also a "sweeping monk" in the Guo Academy in Guixiang County, just now I also painted a voice and said that it was the Guo family's family friend, Miss Guo took a fancy to herself or something, those words were like an invisible slap, a slap on Zheng Peng's face.

I can't wait to find a crack in the ground to drill into.

Zheng Peng's heart was about to collapse: Old man, don't pretend to be low-key if you are a big man, let the noble lord not do it, go to the family academy to sweep the floor, want to do things for the clan, accumulate virtue, and don't have to dress so plainly, can't you bring a subordinate, what if something happens?

By the way, when this old man heard that there was a little woman without clothes, he was so obscene that his old eyes were shining, and he did not have the temperament of an elder with high morality.

This pretending to be too much, walking and hitting the iron plate, Zheng Peng laughed more ugly than crying, and said cheekily: "Original... It turned out to be the elder of the Guo family, and the younger was Zheng Peng, a disciple of the Zheng family in Yuancheng. ”

Old man Guo didn't squeak, but he let go of his hand pulling his sleeves, there were so many adults there, he wasn't afraid that Zheng Peng would run away.

The atmosphere was a little stiff, and the housekeeper played a round on the side and said: "Zheng Gongzi, let me introduce, this is my uncle, with a straight name and a straight character." ”

Straight characters?

The Chinese nation is a nation that attaches great importance to inheritance, attaches great importance to the continuation and inheritance of bloodline, one of which is called the word generation, when taking the name, the surname is the same, the word generation is the same, but the words are distinguished, like the Zheng family in Yuancheng, Zheng Peng's son is called Zheng Yuanjia, and the rest of the brothers are Zheng Yuanye, Zheng Yuanxing, and Zheng Yuanwang.

Zheng is the surname, which is a continuation of the bloodline; Yuan is the word generation, on behalf of the inheritance, and the back of the family, business, prosperity, prosperity is to express the yearning for a better life, there are some exceptions, maybe superstition, maybe the legacy or other reasons, so on the "word" to make a fuss, such as Guo Zhen word Yuan Zhen, Guo Zhi word Yuan Zhi, others listen to the "word" is a family.

Anyway, this time I lost all my face.

Just when Zheng Peng was thinking nonsense, the housekeeper whispered something in Old Man Guo's ear, he should have told him what had just happened.

After listening to this, Old Man Guo looked at Zheng Peng, who was depressed, and snorted twice: "Yuancheng Zheng, hum, I taught a good son." ”

If you ignore the tone, this is a good sentence, Zheng Peng hurriedly responded when he heard this: "The younger generation doesn't know the height of the sky, but he is just taking advantage of his tongue for a while, and there is absolutely no malice, and I ask Uncle Guo to forgive me." ”

Zheng Peng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he spoke, Old Man Guo didn't let people send him to the county government as soon as possible, and he didn't let his subordinates beat him violently, which showed that this matter was still negotiable.

I don't know if it's for the sake of Yuancheng Zheng, or if it's related to the cooperation intention I just reached with Guo Ketang.

Old man Guo looked at Zheng Peng, and said in a loud voice: "Zheng family boy, right, I heard you say just now that there is a young lady who is perpendicular to you, which can make you struggle for less than 20 years, the old man is old and his ears are a little bad, can you make it clear?" ”

Old man, what about holding grudges, Zheng Peng said with a wry smile: "No, the younger generation is daydreaming, tell Uncle Guo about the situation in the dream, I heard that dreaming is a revelation for the future, so I want to listen to Uncle Guo's interpretation of the dream." ”

It's not easy, in order to round out the past, Zheng Peng even moved out of Zhou Gong's dream interpretation trick.

"It's easy to understand, the toad is a toad after all, it is different from the swan, one is on the ground and one is in the sky, the cloud and mud are different, and if you want to eat swan meat, it is just a dream in Wushan, which means that you are down-to-earth, otherwise it is like a toad that makes people spurn and laugh generously." Old man Guo said with a sneer.

This bastard boy, who doesn't learn and doesn't know anything, ran to Guo's Academy to pick up some of the four treasures of the study room in front of him, seeing that he is so studious, even if he gives him a set of adult beauty, but he teases himself in the back, it seems too sleek, and he rashly ran to Guo's mansion to not evaluate it for the time being, but he loudly denigrated the reputation of his niece and granddaughter, which is very bad in nature.

The entire Guo Mansion knows that Ke Tang is one of the younger generations he admires the most, Zheng Peng is full of nonsense, fortunately he heard this, if it spreads, not only Ke Tang's lifelong happiness will be suspended, but Guo Fu will also be ashamed.

It's not that the housekeeper said that he was a branch of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and he didn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, plus Zheng Peng brought a way of wealth to the Guo Mansion, and the old man Guo had already asked Zheng Peng to be tied to the county government to fight the board and eat lawsuits.

was unhappy in his heart, so he didn't show mercy in his mouth, and taught Zheng Peng a hard lesson through dream interpretation.

Old man Guo scolded him, but Zheng Peng was not happy at first: Isn't it just picking up some of the four treasures of the study room that no one has, my brother hasn't asked you for cleaning fees, and when he opens his mouth, he is a poor thief, and he has to pull his sleeves and hold on to it, for the sake of the old man, he is not rough, this is good, even sarcastic and prickly, and he said that he was worthless.

It's a bit of an inch, relying on the old and selling the old.

Zheng Peng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he thought about it for a while, and quickly said seriously: "Uncle Guo, the younger generation has different opinions about the toad. ”

"Oh, is it? The old man listened attentively. Old man Guo was also interested, and he wanted to see how Zheng Peng, a little slippery head, could explain it for himself.

The two of them asked and answered, like playing a meditation machine, and confused Steward Guo on the side, and wanted to persuade them, but seeing the serious appearance of the two, they quickly dispelled their thoughts.

There is an uncle, and it is right to listen to him.

Zheng Peng didn't pay attention to the housekeeper's reaction, and said calmly: "There is a saying that water goes to the low flow and people go to the high, and the disciples of the poor family read poetry and books diligently, thinking that once they become famous, they can glorify their ancestors, and people can go up, so why can't the toad have ideals and pursuits?" ”

And this explanation?

Old man Guo's eyes were wide open, and he knew that Zheng Peng's crooked interpretation was wrong, but he couldn't refute it for a while.

Zheng Peng struck while the iron was hot and said: "Dreams are sometimes unrealistic, even ambitious, just like some things, do not necessarily succeed, but do not do sure to fail, what if you are lucky, accidentally realized?" ”

In the end, Zheng Peng Zhenzhen said eloquently: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier; A toad that doesn't want to eat swan meat is not a good toad. ”

The words were reasonable, and even the old man Guo was speechless, and he said helplessly: "You market slave, I don't know where a bunch of crooked reasoning came from." ”

Old man Guo really convinced Zheng Peng, and a proverb with a negative textbook came into his mouth, and he insisted on explaining it crookedly, but he didn't know how to refute it.

Well, after a while, the poor and the gentleman on the beam became a slave in the market, and from the literal point of view of the words, Old Man Guo's attitude softened.

At least, there was no mention of sending the yamen or anything like that.

Zheng Peng accepted it as soon as he saw it, and arched his hand and said: "Uncle Guo, the younger generation still has something to do, so I won't bother, and I will visit another day." ”

I don't know what else this old man Guo has in mind, or the thirty-six plan is the best plan.

"Slow" Just as Zheng Peng wanted to turn around and leave, Old Man Guo suddenly spoke.

"Gongzi Zheng, Uncle Weng has something to look for you." Steward Guo stood in front of Zheng Peng at the right time and said with a smile on his face.

There was no way, Zheng Peng had to turn around and salute Old Man Guo: "I don't know what Uncle Guo else commands?" ”

"What, ruining people's reputations, this wants to leave?"

"Uncle Guo, that is really an unintentional mistake, the younger generation promises to keep his mouth shut and never say it."

"Hmph, no, for the sake of the Zheng family, you have passed the matter of entering the academy and teasing the old man, but the matter of ruining our Guo family's daughters must not end like this."

Zheng Peng's head was as big as a fight, and he said with some frustration: "Uncle Guo, then what do you say the younger generation should do?" ”

Old man Guo rolled his eyes, and quickly said: "In this way, I will punish you for making a poem, which is the theme of the chrysanthemum you didn't finish last time, do a good job, don't pursue you for ruining my family's Ketang's reputation, if you don't do it well..."

"How about not doing well?" Zheng Peng hurriedly asked.

Old man Guo smiled weirdly, and said angrily, "Guess? ”

How is this tone and look so similar to Guo Ketang?

It's not a family, it's not a family.
