In the end, both parties were quite satisfied. Zheng Sanlang didn't have his wife by his side to control him, so he could pamper the beauty at will. However, when the Qi family moved away from the Zheng family, they only wanted to avoid Zheng Sanlang and didn't want their three children to be harmed again. harm.
Zheng Xian knew that this was the biggest concession made by the Qi family. If he dared to disagree, then even if the Qi family tried their best, they would definitely let the Qi family reconcile and leave the Zheng family with their three children. It is possible for the three children to change their surnames and marry others.
In order to protect the face of the Zheng family, Zheng Xian had no choice but to agree if he didn't want to.
At least, the child's surname has been preserved, and the combined money is nothing. With their current status, how much money is missing?
Zheng Sanlang's private property was divided into three parts.
One share was given to the Qi family, and another share was passed to the name of his eldest son. In the future, even if it was his property, the last share, which was also the smallest share, was left to Zheng Sanlang for his own use. After all, besides Zheng Sanlang, These three legitimate sons and daughters, as well as several children born from concubines.
This is equivalent to dividing the family in advance, and it will save the younger generation from causing trouble in the future.
Zheng Xian himself took out a house for the Qi family's four wives to live in, and made it clear that the house would be transferred directly to his grandson's name, and not even Zheng Sanlang would be able to touch it in the future.
In addition, Zheng Xian, the elder, also provided a lot of things to supplement the family. This attitude was just to calm the Qi family's anger.
Everything has been negotiated and a contract has been made. If the three children all get married and start a business in the future, and the Qi family still wants to reconcile, everything will be decided by the Qi family.
Because Zheng Sanlang's personal affairs were improperly handled, Zheng Xian was suspended from duty and introspected.
It was not until this matter was settled that Zheng Xian had the confidence to go to his uncle to speak for him in front of the emperor.
However, it is better not to think about the position of Minister of Rites.
Unless the emperor was crazy, he would still be allowed to serve in the Ministry of Rites. Moreover, Mr. Zheng Ge wanted to lose face, so it was hard to say whether he would be reinstated.
Eventually, Zheng Xian was transferred to the Imperial Academy and temporarily served as Doctor of the Imperial Academy.
The Minister of Rites is the fourth grade, while Dr. Guozi is the fifth grade. This is equivalent to demoting him two levels in a row. It can also be regarded as the Holy Master expressing his dissatisfaction with him.
Mr. Zheng Ge also knew that this transfer would make Zheng Xian feel embarrassed, but he had no choice but to let his son fail.
"Don't panic. Do your job well in the Imperial College. As time goes by, people will forget about this matter. I will naturally find a way to transfer you back to the Sixth Department."
"Yes, thank you uncle. It's my nephew who is not managing the family well and has caused trouble for his uncle."
Zheng Gelao sighed, it really caused him trouble.
What was originally a good game was actually broken.
Don’t think about the position of Minister of Rites. This is the best position to recruit literati. After all, the Ministry of Rites is still in charge of the imperial examination. What a good position it was. Now that it is gone, the newly promoted Minister of Rites is still a member of a small family. This person has never had any contact with Mr. Zheng Ge. It may be difficult to conquer him.
Zheng Ge is getting older and has been in power for a long time, so he naturally has the ambition to control everything, and even wants to expand the power in his hands. He believes that only in this way can the Zheng family remain standing and let people The Holy One dare not touch the Zheng family easily.
But he forgot that the greater the power of the Zheng family, the deeper the Holy Emperor would be wary of them, and naturally they would not be willing to see the Zheng family taking full power.
From the beginning, Emperor Jingwen had no intention of letting Zheng Ge honestly take charge of the world.
Emperor Jingwen has vigorously promoted some unfounded ministers in recent years. In the final analysis, it is to pave the way for his successor.
People like Mr. Zheng Ge are obviously no longer suitable to stay in important positions.
This time, Zheng Xian was demoted. Even if Mr. Zheng Ge had ideas, he had nothing to say. Who caused trouble in your nephew's family?
Since then, Zheng Xian has been much more low-key in his behavior. Not only that, he also gave Zheng Sanlang a grounding order, and he was not even allowed to leave the door.
Zheng Sanlang originally got a casual position through Zheng Xiancai, but even if he didn't show his face for half a year, no one would care.
Now that Zheng Xian wanted to give him a good break, he naturally had to teach him a lesson.
When Mrs. Zheng learned that her master's official position had been demoted, she finally let go of her worries.
She is not afraid that the master will be demoted, she will be dismissed from office.
As long as Mr. Zheng Ge is still around, he will return to the Sixth Department sooner or later. She has no doubt about this.
Not only did she not doubt it, but everyone else thought so too.
After all, Zheng Xian can be regarded as a person with real abilities, and he didn't get to this point solely by relying on connections.
Zheng Xian is now at the fifth level, which is the same level as Cheng Jingzhou.
It's just that the age difference between the two of them is, haha, twenty years old.
Mrs. Zheng no longer worries about her master's future, but she has to worry about her son.
"Sanlang, my mother also knows that you are unhappy, but no matter how unhappy you are, you have to suppress it. Because of these things caused by your family of five, the master was demoted, and our family's dignity can hardly be maintained. ”
No matter how bastard Zheng Sanlang is, he knows that this incident has indeed caused big trouble. If his father didn't kill him, it was for the sake of his own son.
"Don't worry, mother. This incident has alerted her son a lot, and he will definitely not do it again in the future."
"It's good that you know. I was just a woman before, but now that you don't have a real wife in the courtyard, I'm not worried, so I thought of promoting the powerful Wang family around you first, so that she can help you manage the inner courtyard."
"Okay, everything is up to my mother."
Mrs. Zheng was satisfied, as long as her son was willing to obey.
"From now on, you have to teach these children in your family carefully. Even if they are concubines and concubines, their surname is Zheng. If they can be successful in the future, or find a good family, you will be your help."
Mrs. Zheng's words are reminding Zheng Sanlang not to count on the three legitimate sons and daughters. Even if they really succeed in the future, they will only be grateful to the Qi family and certainly not to the Zheng family, let alone Zheng Sanlang. This father.
When Zheng Sanlang heard this, his eyes flickered, and his dissatisfaction with the three children reached a certain level.
"Don't think your mother is too busy. If you have the opportunity in the future, you should go there more. Don't let the three children forget you. No matter what you bring there, you must let them know that you are in your heart. There is theirs.”
Zheng Sanlang looked impatient: "Is it necessary? I think they are just three white-eyed wolves, and they are not well-raised!"
Mrs. Zheng slapped him in the face, disgusted with his failure: "You! You are so stupid! The three children are not close to you to begin with. If you don't go and see more, I'm afraid they will even forget you! You You have to let them know that you are not as unkind as Mr. Qi says. Even if you do it to show others, you have to do it!"
