There is only one man in the Zheng family, Zheng Wuji. This boy is not good at anything else. He is the best at mixing things up at the wine table. After three glasses of wine, he aroused the interest of the An family and his son.
The men over there exchange cups and cups, while the women at the table are mainly engaged in homely conversation.
Mr. An was transferred to Beijing this time and served as deputy deputy of the Shipping Department, rising from the sixth rank official position.
Although the official position is not big, the salary and salary are not bad.
He was initially transferred out of the capital for dereliction of duty. Because of Lord Lu, he was given a lighter sentence and at least kept his official position.
Now six years later, after the three-year assessment, he found a way through his connections and was transferred back to the capital.
Zheng Yuelang's husband Anping was admitted to the imperial examination at that time, but he has not been able to pass the imperial examination for so many years.
Seeing that I am almost thirty years old, I want to find an alternative job.
This naturally requires connections, but Mr. An has already spent a lot of money on returning to Beijing. If they have to spend so much money again, their coffins will be gone.
What's more, with connections like the Lu family, why spend money?
Even if you spend money, you don't need to spend so much.
Therefore, at the reception banquet, their old lady mentioned this matter to Mrs. Lu.
"His aunt, your niece-in-law is also twenty-seven or eighty years old this year. It's really frustrating to always be so high and low. Today, my old lady is showing off her old face. I beg you, Madam Marquis, to look at it.
Can you help him find a job?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Lu said: "Twenty-seven years old is not too old. In my opinion, it is better to study with a famous teacher for two more years. After all, being a Jinshi is more valuable than others. There are people who have passed the exam until they are forty or fifty years old.
, our family is not in a hurry for him to earn a salary.
Chunjun's biological uncle is the second master of Rongjinhou's family in the capital, and his family's hotel is hard to find. Why not ask Chunjun to ask if Anping can be allowed in. As long as you are willing to work hard, it can take as short as three years or as long as five years.
There will definitely be results.”
"That's what you say, but year after year, he is getting older and older. He is the eldest brother, so we can't help but be impatient!" Ms. Zhao immediately put down her chopsticks and said with a grimace, "We are the little ones.
A person from a small family has no way out and can only stare. Besides, this big family is supported by our master’s salary alone, which is very rare.”
Mrs. Lu saw that they did not want to continue taking the imperial examination path at all, and just wanted to find a job as a candidate as soon as possible.
So he said: "You don't have to worry when you have just arrived in the capital. Let's wait until you get settled. Besides, how can I, a woman, know about such official matters? The Marquis is not at home now. I will ask again when he comes back."
Just at this time, new dishes were served. Xu Chunjun stood up and said with a smile: "Don't just talk, the dishes are cold. This pearl jade meatball is made of fresh water shield and whitebait meat. It is the most delicious. Come on, everyone."
Have a taste.”
After dinner, everyone was sent to the guest room to drink tea.
Zheng Wuji's table didn't disperse until after noon, and several of them were a little drunk.
"It's getting late, let's go back! Those luggage haven't been packed yet!" Old Mrs. An said, "I really want to thank you, otherwise we would have to find a place to live by ourselves after entering Beijing."
"We are all members of our own family, why are we being so polite," Mrs. Lu said, "Whatever is short or short, just keep your words."
Xu Chunjun also said: "You guys must be a little tired, so just take a rest in our guest room. It won't be too late to go back after you sober up."
"No, no, I'm going to get nowhere after this break. You're really tired after entertaining us for so long. We'll come and go often, and we'll come back another day," Mrs. An said.
Gu Tan
"In this case, it is worthwhile for me to stay. I will visit your house again tomorrow. My sister has not been home for many years, so let her stay at home for a while. The old lady and my wife really miss her." Xu Chunjun
He smiled and said to the old lady An and his wife.
"We originally wanted to keep her. We haven't returned to the capital for so many years. It's easy to see my mother. Of course she has to stay for a while." Old Mrs. An said with a smile, "Just remember to give her back to us. I'm here
My granddaughter-in-law is very filial! I can never leave her at all times."
Then Xu Chunjun and others sent the An family outside. Zheng Yuelang's mother-in-law called her aside and gave her a few instructions alone.
Anping was drunk and peeked at Xu Chunjun with squinted eyes.
He knew how much of a fool his brother-in-law was, but who would have thought that he could marry such a fairy-like person?
Look at my yellow-faced woman again. Standing next to Xu Chunjun, she is like a dog's tail next to peonies.
Even if you are ugly, you still can’t have children! What a damn bad luck!
A total of two carriages came to the An family. An Jing and his wife took the smaller carriage with their two children.
The rest of the people sat in the big carriage.
As the carriage left Uncle Chengen's Mansion, Old Mrs. An spoke first: "Why do I see that their aunt is not willing to do this? She always makes excuses."
"If we didn't have this relationship with her, who would marry the Zheng family?" Mrs. An said, "If you bring such a broom star into the door, you can't carry on the family line, and you can't prosper your husband. Now I want to borrow her reputation, I'm afraid
It’s also difficult.”
"Don't you mean what you say?" Mr. An said, "You are always too hasty. You don't know that people who are doing big things will never give you accurate words before the things are done."
"This is not a matter of doing things with outsiders and hiding them. This is her niece and son-in-law. Can't you give me a guarantee and give me a reassurance?!" Mrs. An snorted coldly, "Besides, this is the old lady's first.
Just talk to her."
Their son is not a good scholar at all, and it took a lot of effort to obtain the title of Juren.
It would be even harder for him to take the imperial examination.
"This broom star! According to me, I should have divorced her long ago!" Anping resented.
"Don't say that about her in the future," Mrs. An said. "The Zheng family is quite fat now. I heard that their family now owns a bank."
"Yes, their eldest lady is really capable." Mrs. An also said, "That wooden man in our family, even if ten of them are tied together, is not half as good as others."
Her words spoke to Anping's heart, and he couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"So I said we can't offend the Zheng family, we have to find a way to get some benefits from them." Old Mrs. An was like an old fox that had become a spirit. "We have such a great cause, if some of it leaks out from between our fingers, it will be enough for us."
It’s useful.”
"The old lady is right! The girls from the Zheng family have dragged us down for so many years, and they should indeed be compensated properly." Mrs. An was convinced.
They all drank some wine, and now they were even more intoxicated.
The Zheng family is a piece of fat meat, so they are guarding the pot. Even if they can't eat the meat, they can still drink a bowl of soup.
But Anping paid more attention to Xu Chunjun himself.
The moon comes first near the water and the terrace. It seems that he has to run to Zheng's house if he has something to do.
