Chapter 242: Princess Taoyao
Although Zheng Chengyue had heard that this great emperor merchant had always been generous, he was still taken aback by the festival sent by Shi Wen'er. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Shi Wen'er said casually: "This is a tribute to Zheng Gongzi, it doesn't look good, I hope Zheng Gongzi won't dislike it." ”
Shi Wen'er's explanation can be understood as politeness, and it can also be understood that the festival respect he sent to the Rent Yongyuan is even more than that. Zheng Chengyue seemed to have chosen the latter, which almost made Zheng Chengyue jump, so much gold, silver and jewelry, it was actually just a supplementary difference! How much should be the one sent to the Tenant Courtyard? He secretly cursed those colleagues in the Rent Yongyuan in his heart, but he didn't feel that these "insatiable" and "insatiable desires" actually included himself.
Shi Wen'er said a few words of greeting, praised a few polite words such as the elegance of the house, and left, and said before leaving, please ask Zheng Chengyue to pay taxes for the Lingnan Commercial Road in front of Zheng Xiang, and say a few more kind words.
Of course, Zheng Chengyue understands that people's money will not be spent in vain, and there must be something to ask for, although his own uncle may not be able to listen to a few words, but he can still speak. Therefore, the big package agreed.
After Shi Wen'er left Zheng Chengyue's house, he went directly back to Pintingju, where an old friend was waiting for him.
As soon as I entered the rosewood gate of Pintingju, which exuded a faint fragrance, I saw a man in brocade standing with his hands in his hands, standing in front of the red coral on the shelves, looking carefully.
"If Zhao Xiangru likes it, Wen'er will send someone to the house." Shi Wen'er walked to the side of the brocade-clothed man and said with a smile.
Zhao Boyong turned his head, glanced at Shi Wen'er with eagle-like eyes, and smiled quietly: "No need, what you like may not necessarily be your own, looking at it from a distance, you can see it every time you come, maybe it's much better than putting it at home and gradually getting bored, right?" ”
Shi Wen'er understood that he was blaming himself for his gaffe in the palace, and said with a smile on his head: "Zhao Xiangfeng is elegant, Wen'er is not as good." ”
Zhao Boyong smiled, sighed, and laughed at himself: "Mr. Shi still doesn't always want to be 'Zhao Xiang', 'Zhao Xiang' is called, where am I?" There has always been only Zheng Xiang in the imperial court! ”
Shi Wen'er led Zhao Boyong to sit down, offered tea obediently, and retreated silently. Shi Wen'er said with a smile: "Zheng Ange cut the Beijing officials, abolished the judges and promoted the officials in the towns, and also wanted to recover the money of the public offices in various states. ”
Zhao Boyong comprehended, and a smile appeared on his face, which made his eagle-like face look a lot softer. smiled: "I will discuss with the queen mother, and ask the queen mother to make suggestions to the emperor, now that it is eventful, it is not appropriate to have a grudge with the town of the world like this." ”
Shi Wen'er said with a smile: "What Zhao Xiang said is that some people in the DPRK saw that the Khitan did not call this year, and then they wanted to cross the river and demolish the bridge, and start the idea of Fan Town. Just because the Khitan don't come this year doesn't mean they won't come next year. If it makes the border uneasy, it is not a matter that can be settled with a few dollars. ”
Zhao Boyong smiled meaningfully, he understood what Zheng Ange meant, Fanzhen was too powerful and directly threatened the central government, which was much more harmful than the Khitan. If you're in a position, maybe you'll do the same. It's just that he couldn't say this to Shi Wen'er anyway, so he said quietly: "What Mr. Shi said is true." ”
Seeing off Zhao Boyong, Shi Wen'er entered the Yunwang Mansion and reported to Li Yuehua about the meeting with Zhao Boyong. Li Yuehua nodded and sneered: "Yes! Why am I in a hurry? Some are poor ghosts. It's just that it is not easy to use this incident to completely bring down the Zheng family. Originally, the queen mother and the lord were not in harmony, and it was natural for us to stand on the side of the lord, but the eldest princess of Weicheng was about to marry the Zheng family, and the lord valued love and righteousness, and there was no last resort reason, so she would not attack her own sister's husband's family. ”
Shi Wen'er said with a smile: "Lord Wang, Wen'er also wanted to bring down the Zheng family, but when I met Zhao Boyong today, I felt that it was not a good match." So why did we bring down the Zheng family? Without the Zheng family, can Zhao Boyong listen to the words of the prince like this? Let them fight. ”
Li Yuehua smiled "hehe", nodded Shi Wen'er, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's just watch them fight, your brain is turning fast, watch it tight, add firewood when the fire is not strong enough." ”
Zhao Boyong didn't have a chance to discuss this matter with Zhao Lili, because Zhao Lili was born at this juncture, as Li Chenghei wished, and as Empress Dowager Zheng wished, she gave birth to a princess. When this princess was born, a gorgeous red glow appeared in the direction of Dagaoguan in the north, like peach blossoms, illuminating the bleak sky of Luoyang City. Qin Tianjian judged that this piece of red glow was auspicious, and the newly-born princess had an extraordinary background, and she was suspected of being an immortal.
Li Chengsi is like an ordinary father in every world, hoping that his daughter will have a happy marriage in the future and find Ruyi Langjun, he looked at the peach-colored red glow in the sky, and directly used a song to congratulate the newlyweds and named his daughter "Taoyao".
Empress Dowager Zheng sighed and said to Kong Qian beside her: "What about Xiangrui? After all, it's just a female doll. God really has eyes, and he didn't let this demon girl give birth to a boy, otherwise, this Zhao family doesn't know how arrogant it is! ”
Kong Qian is having a belly of idleness with Zheng Chengyue, this person who usually only takes empty money and does not make a effort, for some reason in the past two days, he has come to the Renyong Courtyard every day to have some money, according to Kong Qian's cronies, this guy is asking how much this year's festival has been given, and where has his share gone.
Kong Qian made people inquire secretly, only to know that it was because it was almost the end of the year, many businessmen would send festivals to the Tenant Yongyuan, and most of them would send them directly and leave, without stating who they were all given to, and the Tenant Yongyuan would distribute it by itself. It's just that this Zheng Chengyue has never come to order, and the people in the Renyong Courtyard almost forgot that there was such a person, so they didn't give it to him.
Zheng Chengyue had never asked about this before, but this year, somehow, he went to the Renyong Courtyard to inquire about the matter, and he was determined to ask his colleagues to pay back the money before he would give up. Everyone looked at him as Zheng Xiang's nephew, counted the silver coins again, and gave him Zheng Chengyue's share, but Zheng Chengyue insisted that there would not be only such a little, and refused to stop arguing.
Kong Qian was bitter to know that Zheng Ange was going to attack Fan Town, and he didn't dare to ask for the festival of Fan Town from other places, but many of these Fan towns would still be sent in, and this year the Beijing officials' salaries were reduced, and the festival was just a part of the festival sent from all over the country, and generally there would be no conditions attached, just a little heart at the end of the year, if no one under his hands was allowed to accept these things, it would be somewhat unkind. It's just that Kong Qian didn't accept it himself.
But in this way, Kong Qian didn't know how many tributes were sent from all over the country, if he insisted on favoring these subordinates, saying that they didn't have Zheng Chengyue's share, Kong Qian himself felt that he was not tough enough.
