Changqing was slightly stunned, "If Langjun wants to re-elect him, will Sanniang object?"
"If she had objected, she wouldn't have sent the person to me," Zhao Ming said, "This move is obviously to let me choose."
But not long after, Zhao Ming was so angry that he smashed the book in his hand, pinched his waist and stood in the corridor to scold Zhao Hanzhang. After scolding for a long time, he took Changqing's tea and took a sip, but he still couldn't suppress the anger in his belly.
, "Choose a fart, it's obviously just to make me angry and make me give up."
Changqing felt that their husband's temper had become worse during this period, but he didn't blame him. There were too many things going on recently. Zhao Hanzhang was in Luoyang now, only dealing with some important matters, and leaving the rest to Zhao Ming.
And Zhao Ming not only has to deal with Yuzhou affairs, but also the Zhao family's family affairs. If Ji Yuan hadn't shared some of the affairs for him from a distance, his temper would have been even worse.
People, when they get busy, their tempers get bad.
Zhao Ming returned to the room angrily and sat cross-legged on the wooden couch by the window, his face gloomy.
Changqing looked at him for a while, then turned around and went down. After a while, he brought the food up and warmed a pot of wine.
Smelling the aroma of wine, Zhao Ming's expression improved slightly. Changqing knelt down and poured wine for him, "I see that Young Master Yi is well-mannered, polite and well-read, so why is Mr. Lang dissatisfied with him?"
"
There was no longer any anger on Zhao Ming's face, but he just mocked with some indifference, "Do you read well? He is only three years younger than Zhao Kuan. At his age, Zhao Kuan not only finished the books he should read, but also knew
He went on a study tour and refuted people with good evidence, but what about him? He is still studying at the moment, reading the books that Zhao Zheng read."
"Well," Chang Qing said hurriedly: "Young Master Zheng is different from other young masters. Although he is young, he has been studying for a long time."
Zhao was the son of Zhao Cheng. Because Zhao Cheng had taken care of him since he was a child, he was placed in the clan school to study with the clan's children until he could run away.
Once you can speak, you can start reading and memorizing.
By the time he could hold a pen to write, he had already memorized several books.
Zhao Kuan is recognized as the best disciple among this generation of disciples, but the smartest among this generation of disciples must be Zhao Zheng, well, he is super good at reading.
Zhao Ming glanced at Chang Qing and said: "Okay, I can't compare to Zhao Kuan and others in reading, so I won't care. How can I talk about being polite?"
"The etiquette is there, but where is the etiquette?" Zhao Ming said: "Zhao Hanzhang is still a few months younger than him. Although he is a bit glib, he has a strong heart and a strong character. He can neither be humble nor overbearing towards Uncle Qi. What about him?"
"At such an old age, I still don't have many ideas and I am indecisive." Zhao Ming shook his head in disappointment and said, "Yourou has a weak heart and is prone to cowardice. The patriarch is the weather vane of the family. What the patriarch is like, the family will be like.
What will it gradually become?"
"If he is only guilty of small things but can live up to the righteousness, I would just turn a blind eye. But he doesn't even have righteousness in mind. He is so confused that even the stewards around him are more knowledgeable than him."
How could Zhao Ming choose such a person to be the next clan leader?
When he becomes the clan leader, it is not certain who will be in charge of the affairs of the clan in the future. Since they have to be handled by others, he might as well choose Zhao Erlang.
My father and uncle always thought that Erlang was inappropriate because, following the example of Emperor Hui, he would lose power when he became the clan leader, which would cause disputes in the clan.
But he felt that Zhao Yi was not much better than Zhao Erlang. If both had to lose power, it would be better to choose Zhao Erlang.
After all, Erlang had a pure mind, could listen to others' advice, and would not blindly fight for power with others because he did not understand. However, there was Zhao Hanzhang behind him.
She can speak her mind, and as long as she ensures that she does not harm the Zhao family, then the Zhao family will be of the same mind;
It's better than Zhao Yi still fighting for power with Zhao Hanzhang after he came to power, causing the clan to be in a state of chaos.
When you are living in troubled times, you should have a strong clan leader.
Zhao Ming drank three glasses of wine and finally sighed and gave up on Zhao Yi, "Forget it, let's find a wife for Erlang."
He said: "Choose a smart one."
Changqing responded with a smile and asked: "Which girl does Mr. Lang think is suitable?"
Zhao Ming turned the wine glass in his hand without saying a word, who is suitable?
He has no choice at this moment.
Zhao Ming pondered for a long time and said: "The news is spreading that the Zhao family wants to marry Erlang. This time the candidate must be carefully selected."
He felt that Zhi Zhi had not chosen his daughter-in-law well. How could Zhao Zhi, such a smart person, give birth to Zhao Erlang?
It must be Wang's problem.
And it turns out that Wang is indeed not very smart.
Zhao Ming emphasized again, "Choose someone smarter."
Chang Qing smiled and won, "The husband is more concerned about choosing a wife for Erlang than for our young husband."
Mentioning his missing son, Zhao Ming frowned and asked, "Is he still in Shu?"
"Yes," Changqing bowed and said, "If there is no letter back, he probably hasn't left Shu yet."
Zhao Ming nodded, "Sichuan is relatively safe, but you should still be careful. Next time you hear from me, I will send him a letter and ask him to come back as soon as possible. Yuzhou is now employing people."
Chang Qing said with a bitter face: "Lang Jun, Xiao Lang is on a study tour and will not stay in one place for a long time. We sent so many letters urging him to come back, but judging from the letters he sent back, he
I didn’t receive any of them.”
This kind of thing is common. Let alone the troubled times now, even in peaceful times, it is normal for the mail to be lost and the recipient cannot be found.
Zhao Ming could only sigh, and then left his son behind, "Zhao Yi probably failed the talent recruitment exam. Find him a house near the school and let him move out after he finishes the exam."
, let him study in the school and see what other people’s children are like.”
He sneered: "Those children are not as good as him, and they are not even as intelligent as him, but they are no worse than him in other aspects."
Changqing responded and went out to look for a house that afternoon. After all, the recruitment examination only lasted for two days.
Ms. Wang was burning incense and worshiping Buddha at home. She knelt in front of the Buddha and prayed sincerely: "Buddha, I beg you to bless my son and daughter to be safe and healthy, free from illness and disaster."
Then he continued: "Let Zhao Yi fail the talent recruitment exam."
Qing Gu followed and knelt aside. After Wang made her wish, she helped her put the incense in the incense stick. They kowtowed three times with her respectfully before exiting the Buddhist hall.
She whispered: "Madam, is it not good for us to make such bad wishes openly and honestly?"
Wang looked around and said, "What are you afraid of? Only the two of us know about this."
She whispered: "I don't understand Sanniang, why should I let him take the exam for recruiting talents? But I know that if he fails the exam, it will be good for Erlang, so he better not pass the exam."
She clasped her hands together and said, "If Buddha wants to blame, then blame me, as long as he fails the exam."
Qing Gu stopped talking.
Mrs. Wang also made a wish to ask Buddha to bless her daughter and son, and then they all muttered, "I don't know what happened to the two children in Luoyang. It's starting to get hot today. The summer clothes we made should be here, right?"
