When he arrived outside the Donghua Gate, Wei Zhongxian took a quick look and saw besides Lu Xiangsheng, who was carrying a book box, standing beside the carriage of the Zheng Mansion, there were four knights in golden uniforms leading horses.
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly put on a concerned tone and said: "In this way, I feel relieved, and then I still think that this time my wife has captured the Jurchen spy in Shanxi merchants, which is a great achievement, but walking in the capital is even more important." Be more careful.”
Zheng Haizhu smiled and raised the stove in his hand: "Eunuch Wei, there are many errands that are much more difficult than coaxing women with sweet words. If you don't have courage, you can't do it, and if you have courage and lack of strategy, you can't do it."
As he spoke, Zheng Haizhu pulled off the brocade cover on the outside of the stove, took out the red and blue silk and cotton blended handkerchief he received from Xinuang Pavilion today, and wrapped it around the outside of the stove.
Wei Zhongxian was suddenly frightened and stared at Zheng Haizhu's movements.
He knew the whole story of this veil as well as Ke Yinyue, who was currently idle at Nanhaizi's house.
But soon, Wei Zhongxian realized that he was not smart enough.
Just don't be nervous.
This behavior of the woman did not mean that she had no intention of resisting the small heater.
Sure enough, Zheng Haizhu handed the brocade cover back to Wei Zhongxian and said, "My handkerchief is more comfortable as a cushion."
He also said meaningfully: "Eunuch Wei, eagles and dogs are used for hunting, not to interfere with women's families and make jealousy. If you have people who are easy to serve in the Forbidden City, you must cherish them and don't let them do some sneaky things." Saipazi’s bad thing. A good knife should be used on the edge.”
"It makes sense, it makes sense, I will remember it, Old Wei."
"Well, father-in-law, please come back."
Wei Zhongxian watched the men and horses go away, sniffed a few times, and walked towards Nanhaizi.
He was going to appease Ke Yinyue, or to be more precise, "warn".
Let this woman calm down for a while, and don't push yourself to vent your anger on her again.
Wei Zhongxian thought about it. Scholars said that those who understand current affairs are heroes. Even if he and Ke Yinyue have not read the book, they must remember this sentence. Nowadays, my brother is still just a prince, and he has not even been granted the title of prince yet. However, a nanny is trying to get rid of the popular person in the eyes of Long Live Master. She is simply desperate.
Besides, you were expelled from the palace as a guest in Yinyue. It was true that your prestige was completely ruined overnight, and you lost your monthly money and reward income. But what Zheng said just now was not bad. It's not even more true that we are good friends. convenient. As for the opportunity to make a fortune, it would be enough to seek refuge with someone who is holding on to a fat salary. The old man Wang An is not easy to please, but this Zheng family seems to have no grudge. From the Qianqing Palace to the Donghua Gate, he talked about foreign things all the way, and praised me several times, Old Wei, for being better than the capable officials of other dynasties. It sounds like , seems to think highly of me?
Wei Zhongxian didn't think about it for long and decided to hand in a letter of nomination.
He even went further to try to figure out Zheng Haizhu's thoughts.
Just knocking off Ding Yun is not enough, Yao Zongwen must also have a good drink.
On the carriage going south outside Donghua Gate, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Wei Zhongxian's shrinking back through the curtain.
"Don't look at it, he's not a glorious gentleman." Zheng Haizhu said teasingly.
Lu Xiangsheng turned around: "Then you still plan to use him? Wang An and Yang Yushi, they won't, won't..."
Zheng Haizhu hugged the hand warmer, which was much more comfortable than the hot water bottle of later generations, and said calmly: "Wang An and I are angry. This Wei Jinzhong is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He cannot stay in the palace. The eldest son of the emperor has not yet been crowned prince. , while the Supervisor of Ceremonies is not able to admit all dogs and cats, I will take Wei Jinzhong away and go to Henan and Shaanxi on errands. As for what Yang Gong, Zuo Gong and Sun Hanlin think, alas..."
Zheng Haizhu sighed softly and stared at the future jade-faced war god across from him: "Xiang Sheng, I don't need to care about what they think, because they will never treat me as a fellow of the same year, sect, colleague, or robe. They The way I look at Wei Jinzhong is the same, there is no such thing as becoming a confidant or being a confidant, it's just a matter of taking advantage."
"How could it be possible," Lu Xiangsheng interrupted, "how could Confucius disciples disrespect someone who cares about the country and the world?"
Zheng Haizhu pursed his lips: "Xiang Sheng, I'm very happy that you can look at me like this. But let alone the present moment, even in a thousand years, there won't be many people like you. Men who study and become officials , If they don’t look down on women, then they should look down on them. As long as they still care about the safety of the country and the lives of the people, their salary is not in vain.”
Lu Xiangsheng heard the helplessness in her teasing tone, so he changed the subject and said: "In the past few days, I have gone to several Jibaozhai in Beijing to inquire about the market price. The price for that piano is twice as high as it was back then."
"Oh." When Zheng Haizhu heard the news, his face finally showed a complicated look of sadness.
After Zhu Qianyu and others were wiped out, Zheng Yi from Tianjin ran so fast that the fleet went nowhere. Luo Sigong's Jin Yiwei Qianhu acted quickly and rushed to Songjiang to take control of the firearms factory. Sun Yuanhua, Li Zhizao, and Song Yingxing were all safe and sound.
Miao Ruiyun and his maid Zhuxiang threw themselves into the water.
When Wang Yuesheng was placed under house arrest by Tiqi at the inn, he did not cry or make trouble and looked very calm.
The Jin Yiwei knew that this girl was a descendant of Fang Xiaoru, and the late Emperor Wanli rehabilitated Xuesheng Fang and established a "Piao Zhong Temple". A group of military men naturally treated Wang Yuesheng with courtesy and did not dare to do anything wrong.
Unexpectedly, on the eve of the court's order to interrogate Songjiang Mansion, Wang Yuesheng also committed suicide by hanging from a beam.
A letter was left on the table in the room for Huang Zunsu, the general judge of the house.
After Huang Zunsu read the letter, he followed Wang Yuesheng's last words and sent the dozens of ancient books she kept in the firearms factory to Zhang Dai in Shaoxing. Zheng Haizhu in Beijing got the book with the inscription "The meaning between loose stones" Song Qin.
The moment he saw Qin, Zheng Haizhu understood that he was not going to die in the fire together with the Yangzhou salt merchants.
"Xiang Sheng, Zhang Lianfang is a well-known collector in Beijing. Please post a message and invite him to be the matchmaker and introduce several buyers who can afford the price. After the piano is sold, half of the silver will be sent to the salt merchant's hometown. Half of it was sent back to Shoukuan, and I asked Old Tang to put it in the account of Chongming Army."
"Okay," Lu Xiangsheng agreed and said after a moment's hesitation, "I think we should go back to the south and have a look. Zhang Zongzi is deeply in love with her. After all, as the eldest son of the Zhang family in Shanyin, how can he deal with people who conspire against him? I will go and move her coffin from the cemetery and transport it to Yingtian Mansion for burial."
Zheng Haizhu knew that there was still a trace of emotion in his heart, and understood this uprightness, so she nodded and said "ok".
But I didn't forget to say a few words to Lu Xiangsheng, who was still in his youth: "If anyone asks, you must blame me. Xiangsheng, I still say the same thing, the ones you want to leave are Zhang Shilang and Yang Yu Follow their path. Your future will be as a minister and as a cabinet minister. Don't leave any rumors about erotic affairs before you become a Jinshi."
Lu Xiangsheng said: "Young brother understands. Sun Hanlin has also begun to personally teach me the art of craftsmanship. If I really get the Jinshi in two years, I hope the officials will choose me to serve at the border."
