126 False Duty

"Zheng Gongzi, this is the Qian Jiaofang envoy of our teaching workshop." Ding Heng took the initiative to introduce.

Zheng Peng came back to his senses and immediately saluted: "Zheng Peng has seen the envoy of the Qian Jiaofang. ”

The father-in-law, also called the eunuch, is a deformed product derived from the ancient feudal hierarchical society, and the workshop is mainly for the service of the emperor, so it is not surprising to send a trusted eunuch to manage it.

"Hehe, don't be polite, Zheng Gongzi, please take a seat." Qian Jiaofang said kindly.

is kind, but the tone is weird, and Zheng Peng feels a little uncomfortable when he listens to it.

Zheng Peng thanked him, and then sat diagonally at the bottom, thinking that Ding Heng would also sit down, and when Zheng Peng sat down to find him, he happened to see him cover the door and go out.

The status is a little embarrassing, the lobbyist is not counted, at best it is an errand.

After the maid poured the wine, the Qian Jiaofang envoy picked up the wine and said: "Last night's Zhoufu birthday banquet, Zheng Gongzi was out of the limelight, a song "Gift to Xun'er Girl", the name moved Chang'an City, and the Tang Dynasty had another good story, it is really gratifying, I will give you a cup." ”

"The envoy of the Qian Jiaofang smiled when he saw it, and it was right to make a cup in the next Jingjiaofang."

"A certain and a son hit it off at first sight, this is not a court, so there is no need to be polite, just call me Father-in-law Qian."

"Yes, Father-in-law."

Father-in-law Qian nodded with satisfaction, then pointed to the food on the table and said, "The wine is thin and the vegetables are thin, Zheng Gongzi don't be surprised, move the chopsticks, please." ”

"Father-in-law Qian, please."

The two tacitly didn't talk about business, just ate and drank, talked about last night's events, told some interesting jokes, and laughed endlessly for a while.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes, and after eating almost, Qian Gong said openly: "Zheng Gongzi, I don't know what plans you have in the near future?" ”

The play meat is coming.

Zheng Peng said a little casually: "I don't have any plans, just travel around, Chang'an is as prosperous as smoke, so stay and experience the prosperity of Beijing." ”

It is indeed very good at experience, in less than a month, he left the nickname of "Jade-faced Judge" in Pingkangfang, and Father-in-law Qian glanced at Zheng Peng with some appreciation, and there was a faint feeling of envy in his heart.

When he was as old as Zheng Peng, he had to enter the palace as a eunuch because his family was poor, and he was poor at that time, and he wanted nothing, unlike Zheng Peng, who was famous all over the world at a young age, and I don't know how many women secretly fell in love with him.

After the birthday banquet of the first week last night, early this morning, Zheng Peng's poem "Gift to Xun'er Girl" spread throughout the workshop, and some girls also embroidered the poem on their own handkerchiefs.

"Zheng Gongzi, you don't plan to take the imperial examination? Chang'an has the best universities in the Tang Dynasty and the best Confucianism, so why not study here? ”

"Father-in-law Qian is talking about Guozijian" Zheng Peng said a little freely: "If you want to enter Guozijian, you need a letter of recommendation, this letter of recommendation is not easy to get, and there are so many people in the world, it is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, even if you cross a single-plank bridge, I don't know how many years it will take to get ahead, think about it later, haha." ”

Zheng Peng's frankness, even Father-in-law Qian was taken aback, but he quickly giggled a few times, nodded and said: "Gongzi is really honest, in fact, there are many ways to get rich, and there is not only one way to get rich. ”

"What does my father-in-law mean?" Zheng Peng's heart moved, and he asked.

Father-in-law Qian said with a smile: "There is still a vacancy for the position of Lezheng in the Zuo Jiaofang, I wonder if Zheng Gongzi is interested?" ”

"Lezheng?"

"Yes, Le Zheng is in charge of rehearsals, although he is only a petty official from the eighth grade, but after all, he is also the eighth grade, and he has an official body."

Zheng Peng said a little strangely: "Father-in-law Qian, isn't the person in this sect going to be transferred from the music book, is it appropriate for a certain person to take the position of Le Zheng?" ”

During the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the workers and happy households were all "miscellaneous households", mostly played by sinners, and their household registration was written on "red paper", and the "lead" was used as a scroll, which was different from the household registration of ordinary people.

The music is a cheap membership, and Zheng Peng doesn't want to be a cheap member.

Father-in-law Qian smiled and explained: "Now there is a big gap in music workers, how can there be so many people with music membership, didn't Zheng Gongzi meet Ding Men Ling on the road, he just picked people from the sinful family to enrich the teaching workshop, where does it matter what the original nationality is, and in order to bring forth the new, the teaching workshop will also attract outstanding talents from outside to take up posts, and each teacher has a place to wait." ”

It turned out to be like this, Zheng Peng understood it as soon as he heard it.

Historically, cattle like Wang Wei, Li Bai, and Du Mu have all gone to the workshop to take temporary posts or cooperate with the workshop, and the emperor will also ask the minister to write words for the workshop when he encounters something happy.

Seeing Zheng Peng's expression a little hesitant, Father-in-law Qian smiled and said mysteriously: "Gongzi Zheng, our family has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"Father-in-law Qian, but it doesn't hurt to say it, and a certain person listens to it."

Father-in-law Qian nodded, flicked the stain on his clothes with his orchid finger, and said with a smile: "This world is the emperor's world, whether it is a civil and military official or an ordinary person, they are all the emperor's courtiers, they all serve the emperor, and they are all to make the emperor happy. ”

"Yes." Zheng Peng said honestly.

Just before leaving, he used this example to talk about Ah Jun.

"That's right, why does a father-in-law who has no rank go out to the palace to do business, no matter how high the rank is, he has to be careful to entertain, why, because he is behind the emperor, it is better to be by the emperor's side with great power, there are many officials in the world, but there is only one emperor, if you want to be prosperous and rich, isn't it the emperor's words?"

Zheng Peng was already moved, but he pretended to be a little hesitant and said: "Learn literary and martial arts, sell them to the emperor's family, and serve the emperor, a certain person is naturally willing, but the attainments of singing and dancing are very unusual, and he is lazy on weekdays, so I am afraid that I will not be competent." ”

After a pause, Zheng Peng added: "Suddenly adding a Lezheng, I guess those ministers won't agree, right?" ”

"Zheng Gongzi, your Lezheng is just a fictitious position, there is no real power, those ministers are too lazy to care, in Chang'an, the four products are called petty officials, who cares about a little Lezheng? As for the problem of work, there is no need to go to the workshop to take turns at ordinary times, you can go to the workshop to help if you need to, and the song and dance have the first Dr. Cao and the second Dr. Cao (both of which are official titles) to teach. ”

Speaking of this, Father-in-law Qian said a little embarrassedly: "It's just that the money is not much, Lu Mi plus variegated, which is equivalent to about 15,000 yuan per month, which is consistent and half." ”

Zheng Peng said awe-inspiringly: "If you can serve the emperor, how can you care about these, Father-in-law Qian, this errand has been answered, the 15,000 Lu Mi will not be charged, Father-in-law Qian will promise to do so-and-so, if there is anything lacking in the future, I will also ask Father-in-law Qian to correct and support him." ”

successfully entered the Zuo Jiaofang, and as soon as he made a move, he fished out the eight-grade "Lezheng", which was one step closer to Li Longji.

Correspondingly, the distance between himself and Lushu has narrowed.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Zheng Gongzi is really refreshing, and the miscellaneous family will give you a cup." Father-in-law Qian said happily.

It didn't cost anything, and the hot Zheng Peng was successfully brought into the teaching workshop, and even Lu rice was saved, and Father-in-law Qian said that he was very satisfied.

This kid is too on the road.

The two of them gently clinked glasses, and then drank them all, and the matter was settled.

After the matter was decided, Zheng Peng took the initiative to say: "Father-in-law Qian, on the way, I heard Ding Menling say that there is an internal competition in the near future, I don't know if there is any need for a certain place, and I must go all out." ”
