"Taiyuan King Cui's family, add a dowry for the bride."

"Zhenzhou Delai County ordered Sun Yaoming to add a dowry for the bride."

"Yizhou is too guarded and guarded, adding a dowry for the bride."

......

On the way back to Yuancheng from Boling, people kept coming to add dowry, so that the dowry line was getting longer and longer, those slaves who followed Lushu got on the bus to speed up in places with few people, and got off and walked in places with more people, this is Cui Er's arrangement, Zheng Peng thought more than once, in addition to showing off the strength of Boling Cui's family, will it be all the way to collect money?

I have to say that the Boling Cui clan can not be compared with the heyday, but its influence is still there, everywhere it goes, it is often thousands of empty alleys to see, many local squires will prepare a banquet in advance on the way to go, invite Zheng Peng and his party to enjoy, and the local yamen often send people to open the way and protect.

All the way through the city.

Two flowers bloomed, one for each table, and when Zheng Peng led the greeting team to go back, Yuancheng was also busy.

Zheng Changduo gritted his teeth and renovated the old mansion and ancestral hall of the Zheng family in Yuancheng, and the entire Zheng family in Yuancheng was decorated with lights, waiting for the return of the welcoming team.

"This lantern is a little broken, get a new one."

"What are the old ladies in the family doing, the futon in the ancestral hall is broken and dirty, don't you know how to replace it?"

"This corner is moss, hurry up and clean it up, so as not to make people laugh."

Zheng Changduo kept his hands behind his back, like a lord, constantly patrolling his territory, and he refused to let go of even a small place.

Thinking of the Yuancheng Zheng clan carrying forward his leadership, especially Zheng Peng marrying the daughter of the Boling Cui clan, Zheng Changduo was like a chicken blood every day, and he had endless energy.

Seeing the ancestors and ancestors under the nine springs, he was able to raise his head and speak.

Just after training a subordinate who didn't pay attention to his clothes, he suddenly heard a noise outside, and faintly heard the sound of a carriage, Zheng Changduo frowned, and walked out of the house with his hands behind his back.

As soon as I walked out of the gate, I saw that many people were leveling the road in front of the gate, and there were constantly horse-drawn carts bringing fine salar and pouring it on the road.

"What's going on here, who got it?" Zheng Changduo asked with a puzzled expression.

I don't remember that I said I was going to build a road.

Before the people guarding the door could speak, the sharp-eyed Zheng Yuanye rushed over and hurriedly said, "Aya, this is the heart of the old folks in Yuancheng." ”

"Mind?"

Zheng Yuanye immediately explained: "Last time I drank with Wang Lao and Qian Xiancheng in the restaurant, I inadvertently muttered, saying that the road was a little damaged, and Feiteng got married, and married a woman from the Boling Cui family, which is the honor of our Yuancheng Zheng family, and it is also the glory of Yuancheng. ”

"Not bad" Zheng Changduo stroked his beard and said: "A tree lives a piece of skin, and a person lives a face, and the people of the Boling Cui clan can't be underestimated, let alone lose the face of the Zheng family in Yuancheng." ”

Seeing that Zheng Changduo was in a good mood, Zheng Yuanye immediately whispered: "Aye, you drank high yesterday, I can't ask you for instructions, I think that this road repair is our Yuancheng Zheng family's family matter, and we can't let our parents and villagers pay for it, otherwise the reputation is not good, so I took it upon myself to take charge and spent 500 yuan from the account to repair the road, which can be regarded as a part." ”

Suddenly there were five hundred yuan, Zheng Changduo was a little painful, but he still nodded and said, "The money has to be spent on the blade, you did a good job in this matter." ”

"Where, without Aya's consent, you used such a large amount of money without permission, and you are afraid that Ayah will not be happy." Zheng Yuanye said respectfully.

Zheng Changduo said with a smile: "Spend what should be spent, by the way, in the future, those small accounts and small money will take their own ideas, and I will rest assured that this account will be handed over to you." ”

After Zheng Fu went to Boling to assist Zheng Peng in building the bridge, under Zheng Yuanye's rhetoric, the financial power of the family fell to him, after Zheng Yuanye took the position, whether it was a matter of size or size, he had to ask Zheng Yuanduo, Zheng Changduo sometimes felt annoyed, but he was very relieved to Zheng Yuanye.

Kiss or not, family, Zheng Fu used to manage the account room, Zheng Changduo always felt a little unnatural.

Zheng Yuanye said with a straight face: "How can it, Aya is in charge of the family's affairs, and his son is the one who runs errands for Aye." ”

"If you can't write two Cui characters in one stroke, the family must trust each other, help each other, and hug together to shine on the lintel, understand?"

"Yes, yes" Zheng Yuanye glanced left and right as he spoke, and said with some surprise: "What about Cheng'er, why didn't you see him help?" ”

Zheng Changduo smiled: "Cheng'er has grown up recently, and often studies knowledge with his classmates, no, he formed a bureau today and invited his uncle to talk about the way of cultivating talents. ”

After a pause, Zheng Changduo said happily: "Our Zheng family has produced talents, and we want to introduce the experience of cultivating talents. ”

The days when it became a joke in Yuancheng County in the past are still vivid, and it is not easy to exhale and raise his eyebrows, Zheng Changduo will definitely not miss it.

People live with a face.

"Yes, yes" Zheng Yuanye immediately echoed: "Now the old folks say that Aya is a model for Yuancheng, by the way, the county school also asked me to ask when Aya can spare time to let Aya go to the academy to teach those students." ”

Zheng Yuanye said it nicely, and he was a little disappreciative in his heart: Zheng Peng's kid, a frequent visitor to the Qinglou, a joke in the mouth of his father and fellow villagers, owes him that he still has the face to lecture, and if he is not driven out of the house, he is a marketman, except for not learning well, he has learned everything, but he did not expect that after he was expelled from the house, luck came all of a sudden, and he was promoted and promoted to the rank of lord, and now it is good, even the five surnamed girls have married back.

Why didn't this luck fall on his own Cheng'er?

Thinking of his son, Zheng Yuanye felt a little comforted in his heart, as soon as Zheng Peng came back to gain power, he put his son under house arrest in the attic in a few words, and arranged for him without authorization, and married Shi Jinmei, the daughter of Shi Dafu in Guantao County, that is a woman with big shoulders and a round waist and a face like a bun.

At the beginning, Zheng Changduo's attitude was very resolute, fortunately, Zheng Peng was absent for a long time, Zheng Fu also went to Boling, giving Zheng Yuanye an opportunity, after conspiring with Shi Dafu, Shi Dafu sent a good subordinate to sneak into Zheng's house, lit the curtains late at night, and "read hard" in the attic Zheng Cheng jumped from the attic to save people regardless of the danger, which moved Zheng Changduo, and the soft-hearted Zheng Yuanjia also helped him say good things, and then Zheng Yuanye persuaded him.

As a result, Zheng Cheng no longer has to be locked in the attic, but can work hard in his own room, and often invite his classmates to go on mountain trips.

The two fathers and sons, division of labor and cooperation, one pleases the old man Zheng Changduo, and the other favors the Zheng Yuan family, and once again controls the Zheng family in Yuancheng.

At this time, a stout woman passed by with a child in her arms, Zheng Yuanye saw that his eyes lit up, and immediately shouted: "Jinmei, come here, Aya said in the morning that she wanted to see Qiao'er." ”

Shi Jinmei hurriedly walked over and handed the daughter in her arms to Zheng Changduo while saluting.

"What a coincidence, let the princess hug me." As soon as he saw the child, Zheng Changduo immediately smiled, hugged the child and talked and laughed, as if he was a different person in an instant.

Zheng Yuanye whispered on the side: "Yes, you see that those people are working so hard to pave the road, you want to pay some money from the account, go to the restaurant to set up a few tables at noon, what do you think?" ”

"Yes," Zheng Changduo waved his hand a little impatiently and said, "You can just watch it." ”

"Hey, got it." Zheng Yuanye's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly responded.

When Zheng Changduo walked away with the child in his arms, the henchman who had been beside him whispered: "Lang Jun, didn't you say that the squire of Yuancheng would be responsible for repairing this road, why do you have to put money in it?" ”

"Stupid" Zheng Yuanye said with a sneer: "Building a road is not bad money, but it is a bad money." ”

The money is in the account book, it is public money, and it must be taken out to have a chance to get benefits.

"Yes, yes, yes, Lang Jun is wise." The henchman understood and hurriedly responded.

Zheng Yuanye said with some regret: "Small family, not much oil and water, I heard that Boling Cui's dowry is a lot, yesterday I heard a caravan say, Zheng Peng's daughter-in-law, just the dowry has 300 cars, it is really rich, if those dowries are also handed over to me to take care of, it would be great." ”

"I'm afraid it won't work" The henchman whispered: "The dowry is Miss Cui's private property, even Xiao Langjun can't move it, let alone Langjun." ”

Zheng Yuanye said with a sneer: "Such a big piece of fat meat, it's a pity not to eat a bite, look at it, you can't eat a bite, but if you find an opportunity, you can bite it, that's not bad." ”
