Zheng Peng nodded and said, "Let Your Majesty and Gonggong Gao bother, I know what to do." ”

Since the Qin Dynasty, the rulers of all dynasties have promoted loyalty and filial piety, in the officialdom, filial piety is also an important indicator for the assessment of officials, Zheng Peng was promoted to the rank of knight, in terms of military exploits, there is nothing to blame, but the family is a little complicated, if it is not dealt with, it will definitely provoke criticism.

Gao Lishi said it so bluntly, Zheng Peng didn't understand.

"Hehe, General Zheng, life is often unsatisfactory, some things can be seen a little bit, by the way, when you get married, don't forget to ask the Sprinkle family to drink a glass of wine and dip a little joy."

When it comes to life when things are not as expected, Zheng Peng can hear that Gao Lishi's words are a little indifferent, think about it, the glory and wealth achieved by Gao Lishi today have reached the peak of a courtier, however, no matter how much glory and wealth can not compensate for the defects of his life.

"Definitely, when the time comes, Father-in-law Gao should not be stingy with his pocket." Zheng Peng said jokingly.

After taking the position, it was the first time that someone dared to "ask for benefits" from Gao Lishi, Gao Lishi was not angry when he heard this, he smiled and said: "The blessing of General Zheng, now the Sprinkle family can be regarded as having a thin savings, rest assured, your congratulatory gift, the Sprinkle family has already been prepared." “

Zheng Peng divided the profits of the Three Treasures into a share of Gaolis, and Gaolishi fixed a considerable dividend every month, and was very satisfied with Zheng Peng, so he took the initiative to ask for an invitation.

Leaving the palace, Zheng Peng immediately went to the ministry to report.

It's not good to be an official, and you have to report wherever you go, but it's understandable that as an official of the imperial court, you can't suddenly disappear, and at the same time as reporting, you can also get the relevant approval documents by the way, and you can also use the post stations along the way.

Now Zheng Peng is a celebrity around the emperor, no one is embarrassed, and the relevant means will be completed in less than two quarters of an hour, and he only needs to go back and wait for the approval.

Lu Shu and Wang Jun's marriage was yellow, Cui Yuan was also relieved, in the case of the overall situation has been decided, Zheng Peng is not in a hurry, wrote to Cui Yuan to use the spring festival to clear Lu Shu's whitewash, and also wrote a letter to Lu Shu, telling about the parting, and then waiting for the approval of the officials in Chang'an with peace of mind.

I haven't been in Chang'an for some time, leaving Lin Xun'er here alone, so I naturally have a good time with Lin Xun'er.

When I went back to Yuancheng this time, I didn't know what was going to happen, and besides, I went back to discuss the marriage with Lu Shu, and it was not appropriate to take Lin Xun'er back, but fortunately, Lin Xun'er was reasonable and did not make trouble with Zheng Peng, so she should be cherished.

I don't know why, seeing that he is about to return to Yuancheng, Zheng Peng is a little inexplicably nervous, and he also has some expectations: I think I was the laughing stock of Yuancheng back then, and I was expelled from Yuancheng, and now I go back, how can it be regarded as returning home.

At the thought of being able to slap those people in the face, Zheng Peng was a little more excited in anticipation.

In the last years of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, led the army into Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, and wanted to transport the gold and silver treasures of the Qin Dynasty back to Pengcheng and build the capital there. And the strategist Fan Zeng persuaded him to build the capital Xianyang, sit in the pass, enter the attack, and seize the world; Retreat can be defended, and the momentum is ready to strike again. But Xiang Yu didn't listen, and said the words "Wealth and nobility don't return to their hometown, like clothes and brocade at night, who knows".

Zheng Peng is no exception, this time he returned to his hometown, just to get back the lost dignity.

General Dingyuan is just a casual post, with no name and no power, no specific tasks, and it is convenient to take leave, it only took three days, and the approval of the officials has come down, but Zheng Peng did not set off immediately after getting the approval.

The New Year is approaching, and it is winter, the weather is cold, the snow is closed, and it is estimated that it is too late to rush back to Yuancheng, and Zheng Peng, who is too old to be unhappy, simply decided to go back after the New Year in Chang'an.

Some days are not in Chang'an, and some relationships need to be moved around and maintained, such as Guo Ziyi, Kuluo, Gao Lishi, Zhang Jiuling and others, and they have to have a meal with Guo Ketang, discuss cooperation issues, and brush up on their sense of existence.

Zheng Peng has always firmly believed in a truth: the friendship between people is like a deposit in the bank, use some less, when it is used up, it is not scattered and light, and if you are free, you will move around more, and you will not become strange because of neglect to move.

Zheng Peng has to admit that this New Year, which is the seventh year of Kaiyuan, is the most comfortable and fastest year for him to live in Datang.

The promotion and knighthood are close to good things, there are backers and brothers, Guo Ketang did not disappoint Zheng Peng, the dividends of the three treasures and braised meat business, after deducting various expenses and reserving a certain amount of activity funds, Zheng Peng also shared nearly 100,000 yuan in dividends, that is, Kuluo, Guo Ziyi, Landuo, and Gao Lishi also followed with a big dip, and each of them shared a large sum of money, and lived a happy fat year.

Guo Ketang is very good at being a man, and handed over the share belonging to Gao Lishi to Zheng Peng to Gao Lishi, Gao Lishi did not expect to be able to share a fixed dividend every month, and there is such a large sum at the end of the year, he is very happy, and Zheng Peng is even more important.

The rhythm of the New Year is all kinds of entertainment, all kinds of eating, drinking and playing, and Zheng Peng really saw the prosperity of Chang'an for the first time.

In less than a month, the whole person has gained a small circle.

The spring breeze in February woke up the earth, the ice and snow melted, and the branches also appeared a little new green, and at the beginning of the world when everything was renewed, Zheng Peng and Guo Ziyi, Ku Luo and others said goodbye at the Jinguangmen in Chang'an.

Guo Ziyi and Ku Luo originally wanted to follow, but the two participated in the martial arts held after the war, and both entered the re-examination with their superb martial arts, Zheng Peng asked the two to fight for a good future for themselves in Chang'an.

The two have made meritorious contributions, but they lack a good background, if they can shine in martial arts, it will be the icing on the cake.

"Big brother, second brother, go back, just send it here, we don't have to send each other for ten miles." Zheng Peng said to the two with a smile on his face.

Guo Ziyi patted Zheng Peng on the shoulder and said, "Okay, third brother, I wish you a smooth journey for my brother." “

"Third brother, when you get married, when you drink wine, don't forget me and my eldest brother." Kuro said with a smile on the side.

Zheng Peng said with a smile: "How can it, eldest brother, second brother, just prepare a congratulatory gift." ”

"It's been ready for a long time" Kuro said with a smile: "The third brother is a person who values color and light friends, no, he is a person who loves beauty and does not love the country, and the second brother will give you two beauties from the Western Regions when the time comes." ”

"The second brother has spoken, the eldest brother can't be left behind, send the third brother and two beautiful female Kunlun slaves." Guo Ziyi said with a smile on the side.

Zheng Peng said with a wry smile: "The eldest brother and the second brother have received their wishes, these beauties should be enjoyed by themselves, the one from the Cui family is already very unhappy in this regard, don't make trouble at the critical moment." ”

Kuro laughed: "Third brother, others are afraid of the inside, but you are the old man of the family of the afraid of women." ”

Guo Ziyi patted Zheng Peng's shoulder and said with a straight face: "Just kidding, third brother, the situation in your family is a bit complicated, you have to deal with it well, now many people are jealous of you, don't give others to make a fuss, even if you have Your Majesty's protection, it will damage your reputation if you spread it." ”

"Understood, big brother." Zheng Peng said with a serious face.

Gao Lishi has reminded him of this matter, and Guo Ziyi thought about it very thoughtfully and took the initiative to remind him.

In a feudal society where filial piety is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, a slight mishandling will provoke right and wrong, Guo Ziyi can think of this, not only because he is thoughtful, but also because he really regards Zheng Peng as a brother.

"Of course, some people are really not worthy of being treated," Guo Ziyi added with a wink: "Smart people have smart people's practices, right?" ”

This is to persuade Zheng Peng to deal with it with wisdom, and the approach of smart people is not blindly retreating and compromising.

"Understood!" A sneer appeared at the corner of Zheng Peng's mouth.

When he was the most unlucky, he also opened Zheng Cheng, who offended him the most, to the blood of chicken feathers and ducks, and now that the general trend has been achieved, where will Zheng Peng be afraid of him.

The three brothers talked for a while, and then dispersed: Zheng Peng returned to Yuancheng to accept Juetian and handle his marriage, and Guo Ziyi and Ku Luo continued to prepare for the re-examination of Wuju.

After Guo Ziyi and Kuro, out of Chang'an City, Zheng Peng went straight east, passing through Luoyang, Zhengzhou, Huazhou, it was really a happy event in good spirits, the spring breeze was proud, and only 14 days later entered the territory of Weizhou.

It was about a day's journey from Yuancheng, and seeing that it was getting late, Zheng Peng stayed at a post station called Jinshuiyi at night.

After entering the post station and settling in accommodation, Zheng Peng led people to the lobby of the post station to prepare for dinner.

"Young master, a small place is a small place, the Chang'an Post Station is overcrowded, the official rank is a little smaller, not to mention living in a room, it's not too late to squeeze into the post station, the post station here is empty, it's really far and far away." Huang San muttered while pouring tea for Zheng Peng.

At this time, Zheng Peng noticed that it was getting dark, and there were no other guests in the huge Jinshui Station except for the post and the post guard, and there were more than 20 dining tables in the hall, only his own three tables.

Zheng Peng is the master, he sits at a table, Huang San and A Jun sit at a table, and the remaining four servants and maids sit at a table, and there is no one else, but the red lanterns at the post station are hung high, and a lot of candles are lit, the light is like day, which looks a little weird.

"No," Zheng Peng frowned and said, "Weizhou is not as good as Chang'anluo, but it is also very prosperous, why don't you have guests?" ”

Jinshuiyi is located on the main road of the official road, which is the main artery connecting Chang'an to Dengzhou, and people come and go on weekdays, so there will be no guests.

You won't be in a black shop, will you?

Ah Jun didn't speak, but one hand unconsciously rested on the hilt of the knife, looking around vigilantly.

Could it be that the Taiyuan Wang family came back to their senses and wanted to find their own bad luck?

Just when Zheng Peng was puzzled, suddenly a voice sounded from the side: "General Zheng is looking left and right, is he looking for him?" ”

The voice was a little familiar, Zheng Peng turned his head to look, and saw a personable little Langjun walking out from behind the screen in the lobby, opening the paper fan with a "sigh" as he walked, indescribably chic.

The voice was very familiar, and the young man also had a sense of déjà vu, Zheng Peng could be sure that he knew him for the first time, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Suddenly, Zheng Peng inadvertently saw the word "Zheng" on the paper fan, and a spirit in his heart was excited, and he immediately smiled and said: "It turned out to be a brother of the family, Brother Yongyang, don't come to harm, right?" ”

Finally remembered that the person who came was Zheng Yongyang from the Zheng family in Xingyang, when Zheng Peng met in the Lanting of Guo's mansion, and chatted for a while, although Zheng Yongyang said that he was from the Zheng family in Xingyang, he was humble and polite, and he did not show superiority and put on a show in front of Zheng Peng, Zheng Peng had a good impression of him.

I didn't expect to meet him here.

"It's rare, it's rare, it's really an honor for General Zheng to remember that he is here." Zheng Yongyang's eyes lit up and said with some surprise.

It's just that they met in Lanting, and they haven't crossed paths for so long, and it's not easy for Zheng Peng to remember.

It gives Zheng Yongyang a lot of face.

Zheng Peng immediately said: "What a general, that is, a concern, if Brother Yongyang doesn't mind, just call me Feiteng." ”

"Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and dare to make you soar."

"It's all my own brothers, it's supposed to be like this" Zheng Peng made a gesture of invitation to Zheng Yongyang: "If you don't mind, it's better to sit down and talk, we can talk while eating." ”

Zheng Yongyang suddenly appeared here, and Zheng Peng had already vaguely guessed his intention.

I have long heard that the Zheng family of Xingyang paid attention to the Zheng family of Yuancheng, and once wanted to win it over, but Zheng Peng went to the Western Regions, and without Zheng Peng's statement, the Zheng family of Xingyang was hot and cold to the Zheng family of Yuancheng, who had a bad relationship with Zheng Peng.

Now that Zheng Yongyang has appeared, nine times out of ten he is here to win over.

Zheng Yongyang sat down with a smile and closed the paper fan with a snap: "I like to be quiet, so I took this place to talk to Feiteng, and I didn't scare Feiteng, right?" ”

And so it was!

A post station located on an important official road, how could there be no guests, it turned out to be Zheng Yongyang's handiwork.

Jinshui Station is not as good as the post stations in Chang'an and Luoyang, but there are many officials who come and go, Zheng Yongyang can actually cover here, and inadvertently show off the ability of Xingyang Zheng.

"No, it's just a little weird, but it just so happens that I like quietness too." Zheng Peng said as he waved his hand and asked Ah Jun, Huang San and the others to go to the farthest corner to eat.

Zheng Yongyang said that he likes to be quiet.

"It is said that thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, a certain in Lanting will be very optimistic about Brother Feiteng, at that time I felt that Feiteng was not a thing in the pool, but I didn't expect that it would not take thirty years, only three years of Feiteng to achieve such an achievement, it is really gratifying, congratulatory and terrifying." Zheng Yongyang said with some feelings.

Who would have thought that three years ago, a young man who had been reduced to selling meat would be knighted when he turned into a knighthood, and it is said that he was close to a good thing for the woman in the main house of the Boling Cui family.

"Where, it's just luck." Zheng Peng said modestly.

"Really? That Feiteng is really a man of heaven, and he can continue to get lucky, haha. ”

Zheng Peng echoed and smiled, and then said straight to the point: "Brother Yongyang, I don't know if you have any advice for me this time." ”

"Don't dare to advise" Zheng Yongyang played with the teacup in his hand and said: "Xingyang Zheng and Yuancheng Zheng are connected in the same vein, blood is thicker than water, in order to celebrate Feiteng's ascension, a small thin gift has been prepared, I don't know if Feiteng will be rewarded or not." ”

"Brother Yongyang is a cheerful person, and I won't be polite" Zheng Peng said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Brother Yongyang, my favorite thing is to receive gifts, what about gifts?" ”

Zheng Yongyang paused for a moment, Zheng Peng would have pushed it off, and he was ready to persuade him, but he didn't expect Zheng Peng to be so direct, he paused for a moment, and quickly said meaningfully: "Don't worry, as long as Brother Feiteng rests here for one more day and returns to Yuancheng, he will naturally be able to see this special gift." ”
