Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The originally low-key Zheng family was not well known in the capital, but this high-profile appearance made countless Bianjing people know the existence of the wealthy Zheng family for the first time, and also knew that there was such a powerful family behind the crown prince.

Although tomorrow is the day when the Zheng family will take over the alum tower, from noon, the alum tower will begin to be decorated with lights.......

Zheng Rongtai's grandfather's name is Zheng Ming, he is a very amiable old man, as always, he maintains the Zheng family's unique family genes, he is obese, and he has a pair of mung bean eyes, but he also has a huge rosacea.

There are five brothers in the family, he is the eldest son, and he is also looked down upon by his fellow clansmen in the family, not because he has a red rosacea and obscene appearance, but because he has a problem that is never mentioned to anyone, but everyone knows about it: fear of guilt.

Zheng Ming's ex-wife died twenty years ago, and he immediately married a widow about forty years old, this widow is not an ordinary person, but the younger sister of the Empress Dowager Xiang.

It was also the connection of his wife Xiang that Zheng Ming and Zheng Shen, the father of the current Empress Zheng, considered him brothers of the same clan, and his granddaughter was also able to enter the palace to serve the prince and was named a concubine.

It is also the relationship of the Xiang family, the Zheng family got the spice franchise of the government and began to engage in the spice business, and in the past 20 years, the Zheng family has accumulated hundreds of millions of money.

Although Zheng Ming did not have a title, his wife Xiang was named Mrs. when she followed her ex-husband, which led to Mrs. Xiang's supremacy in the Zheng family, and everyone was afraid of her, especially Zheng Ming, who was more than ten years younger.

Zheng Ming's stepwife, Mrs. Xiang, is a woman with a strong desire to manage affairs, not only at home, but also inside and outside the court, and even in the neighborhood of Bianjing, she wants to know all the big and small things, except for national affairs, of course, but fortunately, the world is peaceful, and in the prosperous times, there are very few things that the Xiang family does not know.

The main residence of the Zheng family is located in the east of the royal street not far from the Suzaku Gate, covering an area of about 60 acres, and there are hundreds of various buildings, which are resplendent and extremely magnificent.

A small river was drawn into the house, and when it came to the window of Madame Xiang, it slowed down and let the know-it-all lady observe and examine before leaving in fear.

At this time, there was still a little time before the birthday star entered, but Mrs. Xiang was not putting on makeup in the room, because she forgot to explain one thing on her husband's birthday today, and she was hurrying here with the maid at this time.

In the living room, the birthday star Zheng was obviously a little nervous, although he was the protagonist today, but that was only the protagonist in name, and today's protagonist was actually the prince.

Of course, the crown prince Zhao Huan could not hold such a grand banquet in the East Palace, so his staff gave him advice and asked the Zheng family to come forward and entertain the celebrities of the capital in the name of celebrating his birthday, taking this opportunity to expand the influence of the prince in the capital to offset the recent victory of King Jia.

So when the invitation was sent out, hundreds of officials in the court and relatives of powerful people all saw the prince hidden behind this birthday banquet, and everyone tacitly expressed their intention to come to Zheng Ming to celebrate his birthday.

"Father, this is the jade grease just invented by Bao Yan Zhai, the child uses it to wash his face, the grease is very clean, the whole face is comfortable and refreshing after washing, and the father can also use it."

The eldest son, Zheng Yin, was introducing his father to the guests in return, but Zheng Ming didn't care too much at this time, he waved his hand and said, "Show it to your mother!" ”

"What do you want to show me?"

Mrs. Xiang appeared at the door, Zheng Yin was startled, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, "See Mother!" ”

Mrs. Xiang walked over slowly, glanced at the gift box on the table, and said lightly: "It turned out to be Baoyan Zhai's fat powder, their perfume is good, but the rouge is not as delicate as Zhang Gugu, Da Lang doesn't want to take Baoyan Zhai's gift box as a return gift!" ”

"Returning to my mother, the return gift is three items, Zhang Linglong's four treasures of the study room for the male guest, and the female guest for two pieces of agarwood, but the child considered that the agarwood box was too small and a little unsightly, so he decided to use the gift of Baoyan Zhai as a supplement."

According to the prior agreement, receiving gifts is a matter for Mrs. Xiang, and the eldest son Zheng Yin is responsible for returning the gift, but Mrs. Xiang, who has a strong desire to do things, has encountered this matter, so she habitually manages it.

"Why don't you return the gift with an ancient rouge box, isn't that more classy?"

"Back to my mother, there is no jade grease in Zhang's ancient rouge box."

"What is Jade Fat?"

"This is it!"

Zheng Ming handed the jade grease box on the table to his wife, "It's actually a kind of balsam, but it's better than balsam." ”

Mrs. Xiang opened it and looked at it, she also saw the snow-white and delicate soap for the first time, she smelled it, a faint fragrance came to her face, and she suddenly became interested in her heart.

"Alright! Now that Da Lang has decided, then I won't interfere, it just so happens that Da Lang is here, let's discuss it together, today is also Juan'er's sixteenth birthday, I want to take this opportunity to find her a wishful Lang Jun among the guests, what do you think? ”

Mrs. Xiang only had a son with her ex-husband, but her only son has died, leaving a son and a daughter, the eldest son is a guard in the palace, and her granddaughter Zhang Wan'er lives with her, she is sixteen years old this year, she originally had the heart to kiss and kiss, and married her granddaughter to Zheng Rongtai, but she heard the imperial doctor say that Zheng Rongtai may not live to be thirty years old, and she changed her mind again.

Zheng Ming and his son glanced at each other, they all knew the thoughts of the head of the family, the so-called just to find a future husband for Wan'er by the way, but in fact, once it is implemented, I am afraid that it will be noisy, and a good birthday banquet will become a family meeting, which makes people laugh.

Zheng Ming was afraid of guilt and didn't dare to speak out against it, so he gave his son a look, Zheng Yin had to bite the bullet and said: "Mother also knows that this invitation is nominally to celebrate my father's birthday, but in fact, it is to increase the influence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and add the matter of Wan'er, we have no opinion, but do we want to ask the prince's opinion first?" ”

"You go out first, I'll tell your father."

Zheng Yin had no choice but to bow and go out, and as soon as he walked out of the study, he heard his mother's fierce voice echoing in the room.

"Old killer! Do you really think that I am giving you a birthday celebration, stinky and beautiful you, I am just holding a party in your name, giving Wan'er a good mother-in-law's family, if it is really changed to 'recruiting relatives' Xuan'er will be laughed at, I have my own measure in this matter, you have to talk more. ”

"I didn't object, it's just that the prince's side ......"

"You don't want to use the prince to pressure me, the prince is the prince's business, our Zheng family is also the Zheng family's business, we spent tens of thousands of dollars, at least we have to get a benefit, and you don't necessarily have to live one more day to celebrate your birthday, and it is a big deal to find a wishful husband for Wan'er."

"Do whatever you want! I don't care. Zheng Ming really didn't have a good temperament.

"I didn't let you care, Da Lang came in!"

Mrs. Xiang obviously knew that Zheng Yin was eavesdropping outside, and Zheng Yin hurriedly pushed the door in, "What does Mother command!" ”

"I'll open a guest list for you, you see if it's already invited, if you don't invite, hurry up and make up the invitation, and if you have already invited, send someone to remind you."

The princess writes a list without thinking about it, and there is no need to turn over the official files, which family of the official eunuchs in Bianjing has not yet married, and which petty official has reached the age of sixteen, she knows it all in her chest, and a string of names of young talents blurted out, regardless of their father's rank, their mother's fate, and even their own fame, they are all clearly and accurately, as if they are counting the dresses, shoes and socks in their cabinets.

She had been reading for half an hour before she stopped, and a total of 122 talented young men were selected, and Zheng Yin was so busy that she was sweating profusely and moving her pen like flying, so she couldn't wait for two more hands to cope with her mother's splendid eloquence.

Mrs. Xiang left satisfied, Zheng Yin looked at the long list, and couldn't help but feel a little bit big, so many young people have been invited, isn't it a blind date conference?

"Father, look ......."

"Don't ask me, I don't want to do anything at all, this matter has nothing to do with me."

Zheng Ming shook his hand and left, leaving the embarrassed Zheng Yin in the study, Zheng Yin sighed, and had to go to his brother Zheng Sheng to discuss.

However, if there are disadvantages in everything, it is advantageous, maybe Wan'er can really find a wishful husband, and Wan'er will not have to marry Tai'er.

Zheng Yin really didn't want his nephew to follow in his father's footsteps.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw his brother Zheng Sheng walking briskly on his shoulder.

"Brother, I have something important to look for you!"

Zheng Sheng is responsible for contacting the prince, he has important matters, and it must be that the prince has some arrangements.

"What's the matter?"

Zheng Sheng stepped down and pulled his brother aside, and said in a low voice: "The prince has added two additional guests, asking us to invite the Khitan envoy and the Western Xia envoy as well. ”
