Xu Guangzuo smiled and said: "Wanyi, dad did not pick the wrong person for you, and he did not choose the wrong husband for you. Although Zhang Yanling was indeed notorious before, those are just small details. When doing big things, there is no ambiguity. After this incident, for
His evaluation will be greatly improved. No one will look down upon him anymore. The emperor should also know about this matter. He will definitely benefit from this matter. Late in the evening, you should be happy that your future husband-in-law shows up.
You have a bright face too. Daddy came here to tell you this specifically to make you happy."
Xu Wanyi frowned, thinking about this matter in his mind. It was indeed unexpected that Zhang Yanling could do such a thing. Could it be said that he has really changed his gender? He is really a man of great benevolence and kindness.
Man? I actually blamed him wrongly?
But after thinking about it, Xu Wanyi felt that this matter was not that simple. Zhang Yanling made a big splash by rescuing the people. Maybe his motives were impure and he was just seeking fame and reputation. Didn't his father just say that this time he would definitely get it?
Benefits. Perhaps he simply used the relief work to achieve his own goals. It is unknown.
Xu Guangzuo didn't know that the thoughts in his daughter's mind had gone astray. He smiled and said: "Dad just came to tell you this matter to make you happy. Tomorrow morning, dad will go with the British father to express condolences to the victims. As an extension,
I have to support my old father-in-law. Those people in the outer court must be thinking about how to take away his credit and find fault with him. How can they let Yanling get this relief effort? I have to support him together with the British father-in-law.
The scene is not only the work of Zhang Yanling, but also the work of our relatives. We have to guard against those villains. Wanyi, you come with me tomorrow. He will definitely be very happy to see you.
"
"I'm not going." Xu Wanyi blurted out almost without thinking.
Xu Guangzuo was stunned and frowned: "Why? Don't you feel that your face is shining?"
Xu Wanyi said softly: "I... don't want to go. My daughter feels that his motives for doing this are not pure and he has other purposes."
Xu Guangzuo's expression changed. He was really annoyed that his daughter was so extreme. Although he had to admit that Wanyi was smart and could see this, it was not a good thing for a woman to be too smart.
"Wanyi, daddy has to warn you that this kind of mentality of yours is really unacceptable. It seems that daddy is too indulgent to you. No matter how arrogant and extreme your temper is, you will definitely suffer a lot in the future. Dad only wants to ask you one thing, no matter Zhang Yanling
What is his purpose? Did he provide relief to the people and save many lives? A simple fact is in front of you, but you insist on digging out the purpose behind it. Dad is really disappointed in you. That’s all, Dad doesn’t dissuade you.
You, dad is just worried about your future. People can be proud, but they must not be unreasonable. No matter what, you will always be his unmarried wife. Not to mention that Zhang Yanling has not done anything bad now, so what if he is full of evil? I am late.
,Dad is really disappointed."
Xu Guangzuo sighed repeatedly and slowly turned around to leave. Xu Wanyi stood there blankly, looking at Xu Guangzuo's back and feeling very uncomfortable. His father had never said such a thing to him, was he really too extreme?
Zhang Yanling has indeed done good things and saved people's lives. This is an indisputable fact. As for what purpose he wants to achieve with this, is it important? What are he insisting on?
…
Outside Yongding Gate, the weather was clear after the snow, and everything was in order. After yesterday's hard work, Zhang Yanling could finally sit next to the porridge shed and watch Xiu'er's busy figure without doing anything.
However, Zhang Yanling knew in his heart that he would soon be facing a big scene. He was already prepared. If everything goes well, today his hard-working relief actions over the past few days will be rewarded.
At half time, dozens of cavalrymen came slowly from the city gate surrounded by two carriages. In Zhang Yanling's surprised eyes, Xu Guangzuo and Zhang Mao got off the carriage, followed by more than a dozen honorary uncles. These people were among the entourage.
Surrounded by people, they came hand in hand.
Zhang Yanling smiled broadly, and when she saw the two gentlemen, she knew their purpose.
Flies chase away odors, cats smell fishy smells, and wherever there is profit, there is always a presence of honorable men. Honorable men are never ambiguous in the face of interests.
The relief operation outside the city was a great success. Xu Guangzuo and Zhang Mao naturally wanted to share the fruits of victory. Maybe before they thought they were doing something unnecessary or just showing off. But now they should understand what benefits this will bring.
Already.
Zhang Yanling was not surprised. In fact, he had pulled Zhang Lun, Zhu Lin, and Xu Yande together to provide relief from the very beginning, and he had no intention of taking the credit alone. Zhang Yanling originally wanted to share the credit with the family of his relatives.
From the day she traveled through time, Zhang Yanling realized that she had to integrate into the Xungui Group and become a member of them. Only by integrating into the Xungui group and allowing them to fully accept herself, could she have a foundation and someone to support her.
Talent will not suddenly lose its support because of the life and death of Hongzhi or other emperors and become a target for everyone to bully.
For this purpose, he could spare Zhu Lin and become brothers with the young father-in-laws. But all this did not really allow him to integrate into the Xungui Group. At best, it only gained their favor and made them no longer hostile to him.
.In other words, the relationship between them has become closer.
Zhang Yanling clearly understands that if you want to truly integrate into the Xungui Group, you cannot rely on these small favors and some superficial harmony. There is only one way to make the old Xungui Group truly regard themselves as one of their own, and that is to rely on interests.
To be consistent with others. To put it bluntly, you must have the value and ability to earn benefits for them before you will be truly accepted by them.
After the snow disaster occurred, Zhang Yanling immediately realized that this was a major opportunity. Zhang Yanling's purpose of relieving the people was certainly not pure. Zhang Yanling saw his interests outside of relief. Relief was one of them, and attacking the outer court was another.
Second, both of these are what the nobles want to see. But what Zhang Yanling did not expect was that the civil servants were so stupid and incompetent that the relief work would become so big.
Of course, Zhang Yanling was a little panicked. After all, in such a large-scale private relief operation, if something goes wrong and someone dies or causes trouble, he will be self-defeating. This is actually a big gamble, but Zhang Yanling has
A big bet. He had Empress Zhang as his great backer, and the moment the Royal Horse Supervisor's supplies were shipped out, his gamble was destined to succeed.
The arrival of Zhang Mao and Xu Guangzuo is actually a sign of victory. It is a declaration of acceptance. It is equivalent to telling everyone that the relief is a collective behavior of the entire Xunqi Group, and they are the ones supporting it.
Let me tell the civil servants who must be thinking of ways to reverse the situation at this moment, what evil ideas do you want to have, and if you want to grab this credit, you have to weigh it carefully. You are here to share the spoils, and you are also here to stand up.
"Old Duke Zhang, father-in-law, how dare you work for the two Dukes to come here. Oh, there are so many marquis and counts coming, Yanling is really frightened." Zhang Yanling stepped forward to greet him with a smile.
He saluted everyone. Everyone laughed and returned the salute. Many of them had no contact with Zhang Yanling on weekdays, but at this moment they were like old friends, as familiar as someone who had slept under the same bed.
Zhang Mao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Well done, Mr. Zhang. You have accomplished something great. You are indeed quite capable."
Xu Guangzuo also smiled and said: "It is really not easy for Yanling to accomplish such a great thing. It is not easy to resettle so many victims single-handedly. Mr. Zhang and I, as well as all the princes, are very surprised and admired. We are here to express our condolences to the victims.
Respect."
Zhang Yanling said sternly: "Thank you Mr. Zhang, and thank you father-in-law for your praise. But this cannot be accomplished by Yanling alone. The successful resettlement of the people is not only the help of the three major princes and princes, but also the help of all the princes and counts."
Do you want to support me strongly? Otherwise, how can I accomplish this great thing with my mere strength? In this relief, my relatives’ family shared the worries of the imperial court, showing to the world that my relatives of the Ming Dynasty are loyal and good at living up to the emperor’s kindness. I
I think everyone from top to bottom of the court and thousands of people have seen this."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Mao and Xu Guangzuo looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
