176 The phoenix does not fall without treasure
"Uncle, I can't think about it." Cui Yunfeng said with an aggrieved face.
Even Cui Yunfeng couldn't understand why things had come to this point, as if whatever he did was wrong, and he felt like he was being played with in the palm of his hand, which made Cui Yunfeng very uncomfortable.
"Think about it on the road, when you figure it out, you will be truly mature" After a pause, Cui Yuan soothed: "Actually, it's not a good thing to go to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, Chang'an has too many nobles, and he shrinks his hands and feet from anything, so it is regarded as experience, as long as he does it well, I believe that His Majesty will not be invisible, and Gonggong Gao is not a narrow-minded person." ”
"What about Zheng Peng, the Tian Shenu, let him be proud? Uncle, I'm not reconciled. Cui Yunfeng gritted his teeth and said.
"Unwilling? Hehe, the old man is not reconciled" Cui Yuan's face was a little complicated, but he didn't want to discuss this issue anymore, and said directly: "Okay, it's useless to talk more, just do what you just said, I'll go first, keep a low profile on the road, and do it yourself." ”
Cui Yuan said that he would leave, leaving only Cui Yunfeng with an unwilling face.
There are many coincidences in the world, Cui Yunfeng's family suddenly came to guests, and Zheng Peng's family also came to guests.
After Huang San spread rumors and went out, in order to clear himself, Zheng Peng didn't go out at all, and stayed at home directly, inquiring about the movements outside, while reading books related to etiquette, seeing that he had become a deputy envoy for reception, and he couldn't be sloppy in etiquette.
Zheng Peng didn't go out by himself, but there were still customers coming to the door, but he still didn't chase away the guests.
The number of etiquette is very thoughtful, not only there is a prayer post, but also a gift list, the gift list is a set of pen, ink, paper, inkstone, two pairs of jade pendants, ten fine silk horses, ten Su silk horses, a shot is a big hand, the back of the worship post, the name left is Guo Hong.
Seeing the post, Zheng Peng sighed secretly in his heart: It's not easy, Guo Fu has made a contribution to the new printing technique, Guo Hong was summoned to Beijing for a reward, Guo Fu has returned to officialdom since Guo Yuanzhen, he has been in Chang'an for so long, and he doesn't know where Guo Hong is, and he has not seen him come to thank him for his great benefactor, who has given up his credit, until now it is too late.
If Guo Ketang was here, he would have been in touch a long time ago, with her personality, she would enter the door when she came to the door, and regarded this place as her own backyard, and Guo Hong came to the door and sent a greeting post and a meeting gift in a matter-of-fact manner, not because he knew the etiquette, but in his heart, he never regarded Zheng Peng as his own person.
Or rather, a familiar stranger.
Zheng Peng is in Guo's mansion, that is, Old Man Guo is familiar with Guo Ketang, and his relationship with other people is average, but Guo Hong personally visited him, still gave him enough face, and personally greeted him outside the door.
"I don't know if it's Uncle Guo's visit, it's a long way to go, forgive your sins, hey, this official uniform, congratulations to Uncle Guo for joining the office, congratulations." As soon as Zheng Peng saw Guo Hong, he paused for a moment, and quickly welcomed him with a smile.
I haven't seen him for a few months, Guo Hongbi has lost some weight when he was in Guixiang, but he is in good spirits, and his face and eyebrows are generally festive and confident, this joy and self-confidence, needless to say, is brought to him by the light scarlet official uniform on his body.
Light crimson official uniform, this is the label of the five-grade official, Guo Hong has made meritorious contributions to the new printing technique, coupled with the aftermath of his father, as soon as he came out, he found a five-grade official, no wonder he has a spring breeze.
The five-rank official is a very suitable position, neither high nor low, just now reached the standard of the previous dynasty, and took good care of the mood of the Guo Mansion, if the guess is good, it should be a civilian official idle position.
Zheng Peng said that he was proud, Guo Hong said like a spring breeze: "The emperor's grace is vast, a certain is now in the matter, thanks to the virtuous nephew, the great grace is not grateful, the virtuous nephew will always be the distinguished guest of my noble hometown Guo." ”
In the matter, it has been set since the Qin Dynasty, and its status is second only to that of the Zhongchang Servant, and there is no quota, although it is only a five-grade official, the benefits are close to the emperor, and he has to go to the court every day, Guo Hong is very satisfied with this.
This is the legendary dynasty for Tian Shelang, the twilight court.
Well, if you say that you are a distinguished guest, you have to wear an official uniform when you go to the door, is this a visit to friends or a show?
Zheng Peng was a little powerless to complain, compared with Old Man Guo and Guo Ketang, the head of the Guo family was really not a little worse.
Thinking about it, Zheng Peng still said a few polite words, and then politely welcomed Guo Hong into the hall.
After making tea and sending refreshments, Zheng Peng asked casually: "Uncle Guo, hasn't Miss Guo come to Chang'an yet, didn't she say that she would also set up a braised meat distribution point in Chang'an?" ”
Guo Hong's face was a little strange, and he quickly waved his hand and said: "These mundane things, I don't want to ask about them, by the way, virtuous nephew, you now have an official body, and Your Majesty values you so much, it's best not to worry about these things, so as not to affect your career."
Speaking of the back, Guo Hong kindly taught Zheng Peng a lesson.
Zheng Peng was a little speechless, this Guo Hong, obviously still a middle-aged man, but his heart is extremely pedantic, when he came to Chang'an to listen to the reward and needed to be punished, Guo Ketang even sold some high-quality properties to raise money for him, and he was good, while eating the offerings of dividends earned from business, he also scolded that business was not good.
It's clearly a white-eyed wolf.
"Uncle Guo is reasonable, the younger generation must pay more attention" Zheng Peng finished coping with it, and said with a smile: "By the way, I don't know where Uncle Guo lives." ”
"A certain person lives in Chongrenfang, and when he is free in the future, the virtuous nephew can move around more."
Chongrenfang, this can be regarded as the location of Chang'an's "within the third ring road", not to mention buying, it is expensive to rent, when the prime minister Yao Chong also said that he can't afford to rent, this Guo Hong is really wealthy.
"That is, I will ask Uncle Guo for more advice in the future."
Guo Hong smiled, and then said with a serious face: "I don't dare to say anything, the old man still wants to ask his nephew for help." ”
"Oh, if there is something Uncle Guo can do, just command." For Guo Ketang's sake, Zheng Peng gave Guo Hong enough face.
"It's nothing, I heard that the virtuous nephew has a good relationship with Gao's father-in-law, if there is a chance, I have to bother the virtuous nephew to introduce it."
Nima, this old boy is not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, but the phoenix is not falling without treasures, if he didn't have something to do with Gao Lishi, he really wouldn't have come to the door, maybe he would still be waiting for himself to come to the door to congratulate him.
Wearing a five-grade official uniform and claiming to be an elder, this is the attitude of asking for people?
No wonder after Guo Yuanzhen fell, Guo's mansion seemed to collapse half of the sky, if it weren't for Guo Ketang's exquisite efforts to maintain it, I am afraid that he would have fallen into despair.
really depends on this Guo Hong, hanging.
Zheng Peng was a little helpless, but he still smiled and said: "Actually, the younger generation and Father-in-law Gao only have a few faces, and they can't talk about friendship, so let's wait until the right time comes, I will definitely introduce them to Uncle Guo." ”
"Haha, good, good, then there is Lao Xian's nephew." Guo Hongmei said with a smile.
After achieving his goal, Guo Hong didn't sit much, as if he wanted to say that he was going to attend a banquet of a certain high-ranking official, and quickly patted his ass and left.
It's okay to go, as the saying goes, there are fewer drinks for a thousand confidants, and there are more than half a sentence of speculation, chatting with this uncle, Zheng Peng also felt tired.
As soon as Guo Hong left with his front foot, Huang San came in with his back foot, and immediately said, "Oh no, young master, Cui Yunfeng's kid slipped away." ”
"Slipped? What's going on, aren't there many people waiting for him to surprise? Zheng Peng said with some surprise.
After Zheng Peng's secret push, Cui Yunfeng was like a rat crossing the street, yesterday it seemed that he wanted to take someone to find his bad luck, but he didn't expect to let the king of Ruyang County take the lead as soon as he went out, and let people beat Cui Yunfeng hard, I heard that in order to punish him for having no eyes, he specially punched him twice in the eyes, and his eyes were swollen.
Hearing the news, Zheng Peng's appetite was great, and he added an extra bowl to his meal.
The king of Ruyang County is also good, it is said that Gao Lishi sent someone to send him a bottle of fine wine that night, hearing this news, those who were still hesitating and waiting to wait and see went out one after another, just waiting to sell their favor to Gao Lishi.
I was still waiting for the "good news" to come, but I didn't expect to run away so soon.
"I heard that this morning, the gate of Fangmen City just opened, he didn't even sit in the carriage, with a few henchmen, one person and two horses out of Chang'an City, it should be to Anxi, I don't know if there is a master to guide me." Huang San said with some pity.
Zheng Peng waved his hand and said, "Forget it, he has also received a profound lesson anyway." ”
That's pretty much it, Zheng Peng is not a ruthless person, there is no need to put him to death.
"It's still the young master's kindness, and the little one admires it." Huang San cheekily patted his ass.
Zheng Peng laughed and kicked Huang San with his foot: "I also use dim sum to pat my ass, I wear it when I hear it, and I don't have any technical content." ”
"Yes, yes, young master, the little one will be more attentive next time." Huang San giggled and didn't have a straight shape.
When Ah Jun on the side heard this, he shook his head helplessly, his young master's temperament could not find a second one in Datang.
"Young Master, where are we going now?" Huang San suddenly asked.
At this moment, Ah Shou hurriedly walked over, and as soon as he saw Zheng Peng, he immediately said: "Young master, there is a handyman outside the door who claims to be a handyman from Honglu Temple, saying that he is looking for you on the order of Wang Siqing." ”
