Hu Tianxiong said: "Sir, Xichuan is more than three thousand miles away from the capital, so this matter may not be spread there."
Hu Buwei said: "If people don't know how to do anything but themselves, there will never be a shortage of people in the world who will stir up trouble and add insult to injury." Thinking of Tang Wenzheng's angry and depressed eyes when he left, Hu Buwei realized that the Tang family would never take it easy.
After swallowing this breath, if there is an opportunity in the future, there is no guarantee that they will not retaliate. Hu Buwei has been an official for many years and has offended countless people in this capital alone. It is conceivable that his political opponents were affirmed by this news.
It's such a treasure that I won't let go of this opportunity to slander and retaliate against myself.
In fact, everyone can clearly see the purpose of the marriage between the Hu family and the Li family. If their marriage is completed smoothly, both Hu Buwei and Li Tianheng will gain huge benefits from it. One is
The Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue is in charge of Dakang's financial power, and the other is a feudal official who is stationed in the southwest and dominates the southwest. The combination of the two families will definitely bring their political influence to a higher level. I wonder how many people will be jealous of their alliance.
.
Seeing his son's crazy venting just now, Hu Buwei certainly understood that his son was not satisfied with this marriage. No one wanted to marry an ugly and paralyzed woman. This was cruel to his son after all.
Some. But marriage is not a child's play, it requires reason and reality. It is not only necessary to look at the other person's own conditions, but also to evaluate the other person's family conditions. No matter how ugly Li Tianheng's daughter is, she will not worry about getting married. It is said that the threshold of their family has long been
He was crushed by the matchmaker.
Hu Tianxiong said: "Sir, the young master is gradually recovering from his illness, why don't you find him an official position?"
After being reminded by him, Hu Buwei's eyes couldn't help but light up, but then dimmed again. He was still not sure whether his son was completely recovered. The surprise coming too soon would make people have some indigestion, but his son's performance today has greatly impressed him.
Shocked, although Hu Buwei was pleasantly surprised, he still maintained absolute rationality in his heart. Maybe today's performance was just a flash of inspiration, and he whispered: "He has just recovered from a serious illness, so let him rest before we talk!"
Hu Xiaotian is not sick. In the past six months, he has completed the transition from a fool to a normal person. No one except himself knows what happened. In fact, when he first came to this land, he had no idea about the current situation of his life.
I am still quite satisfied. I am the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, with great power. I have a house, a car, and hundreds of servants. I am pampered and well-fed, and I live a life of food and clothing.
He was too tired in his last life, but in this life he can finally sleep until he wakes up naturally. As for counting money until his hands cramp, as long as he wants to, as the only son of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, he can go to Qian Fatang or Baoquan Bureau to count money.
, I am afraid he will never be able to count the copper coins minted in these two places in his lifetime.
After the Cuiyun Lake bride-kidnapping incident, Hu Buwei significantly strengthened the security around his son. In addition to the original four servants, he also assigned two new guards, one named Li Jinhao and the other named Shao Yijiao. It is said that
Both of them are equally good players.
After Hu Xiaotian proposed to break off the engagement and was rejected by his father, he never mentioned the matter to him again. His master's degree in psychology was not for nothing. He had already seen from Hu Buwei's performance that Hu Buwei was a determined and determined person.
A stubborn person will use any means to achieve his goals, and political interests are above all else. His stupid son is just a tool on his way forward. Any family affection must make way for his political future. Since it cannot be changed, why bother in vain.
If you have time, you should enjoy life more, so Hu Xiaotian spends most of his time on fitness and studying. Hu Xiaotian is not a natural study fanatic. After he was reborn, he didn’t even bother to recall the busy work in his previous life. He just wanted to be a An ordinary person, a carefree rich boy, but he finally discovered that everyone has troubles, even if it happens again.
The things he studied were very important in today's era, such as the etiquette of Dakang, the history and geography of this continent that was quite new to him. He even had to learn things like horseback riding and archery, which were related to him. The future life is closely related. If a person wants to live well, he must first learn to protect himself. The purpose of learning archery is to improve the strength of the force. As for learning to ride a horse, it is to facilitate escape.
Hu Buwei had too many political affairs to deal with. He left early and came back late all day long. Hu Xiaotian and he rarely had the opportunity to meet. There was always very little communication between father and son. The days passed like this.
The back door of Shangshu Mansion has been rebuilt and the garden has been renovated. The mess after being smashed was no longer visible. However, the thatched pavilion in the garden has not been rebuilt because of what Hu Xiaotian used to confuse the public and frame Tang Tiecheng for treason. Hu Buwei got a revelation from it. I don’t know when this humble thatched pavilion will become a big trouble if it continues to exist. Setting up an imperial court privately is a heinous crime that can kill everyone.
Hu Xiaotian originally wanted to learn the fancy body technique of leaping in the air, doing a forward somersault, a back flip, and turning 720 degrees. Unfortunately, Hu Tianxiong, the best in the Qinggong movement in the Hu family, went to Xichuan for work. It is said that the reason for his trip was related to his return. There is some relationship.
In the past two days, Hu Buwei was appointed by the Holy Emperor and accompanied him to Dongdu to relax. Mrs. Hu went to Jinling's natal home to visit relatives. Hu Xiaotian was the only one left in the Shangshu Mansion. Without the constraints of his parents, Hu Xiaotian's life was quite free and easy. , I either exercise at home every day, or I take a bunch of servants to visit various places in the capital. Anyway, I don’t have to go to work, and I don’t have to worry about having money to spend. The biggest advantage of being a second-generation official is that no matter what I do, I don’t have to worry about paying the bills. The problem is, given the status and financial resources of the Hu family, there should be no problem for him, the second generation ancestor, to live in confusion for the rest of his life.
Seeing the old housekeeper Huan and his boy coming in with two loads of fresh rice dumpling leaves, Hu Xiaotian suddenly realized that it was the fifth day of May, and Dakang also had the Dragon Boat Festival. He had just read history a few days ago, and then he knew This land has also produced great works such as "Chu Ci" and "Li Sao", and there has also been a great patriotic poet Qu Yuan. This poet was also born in Chu State, and in the end he devoted himself to the country with no way to serve the country. Miluo river.
Hu Xiaotian was too lazy to think about the connections and differences between the two periods of history. He just wanted to live comfortably and enjoy a few more Dragon Boat Festivals.
When Huan saw this weird young master, he came over respectfully: "Young master, you got up so early today!" In fact, everyone in the Shangshu Mansion thought that this young master had become extremely weird since he woke up, but every time Individuals can only keep their own opinions in their hearts, no one dares to speak out publicly.
Hu Xiaotian smiled: "The sun is shining on my butt, it's getting late!"
Huan smiled apologetically: "Master, where are you going to play today?" He was idle, eccentric, moody, and crazy. This was how the Hu family members evaluated Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian yawned: "I didn't think so. I seem to have been to all the fun places in the capital, but I haven't been to the palace yet. I wonder if I need tickets?"
"Tickets?" Juan was stunned.
Hu Xiaotian knew that he had made a mistake. In this era, there is no concept of tickets. No matter how beautiful the scenic spot is, everyone can enter if they want. There is no such thing as tickets.
However, most of the Hu family members have become accustomed to the strange words and deeds of this young master. Huan smiled and said: "Young master, the palace is not a place where you can come and go casually. If you want to go, you can naturally do it when you have an official position in the future.
Enter the palace to meet the saint."
Hu Xiaotian said lazily: "The imperial palace isn't much to see, it's so gloomy that it never sees the light of day. I think the Dakang Palace is not much bigger than the Forbidden City."
"Forbidden City?" Juan was obviously confused.
At this time, the gatekeeper came over and reported: "Young Master, Mr. Xu Zhengying, the Minister of Household Affairs, is here."
Hu Xiaotian and Xu Zhengying had met once or twice. Xu Zhengying, the minister of household affairs, was the deputy of his father Hu Buwei. There was only one minister in the household department, Hu Buwei, who was the top leader, and there were two ministers, Xu Zhengying.
He is one of them. The Minister of Household Affairs is his deputy. Xu Zhengying ranks third in power in the Household Department. He is responsible for presiding over the minting and issuance of coins in Dakang. He is in charge of Qian Fatang and Baoquan Bureau. Xu Zhengying is also good at doing business.
, he would come to Hu's house every day when he had something to do. It was called discussing matters, but the actual purpose was to close the relationship between the monks. However, although he moved around frequently, the relationship with Hu Buwei was always difficult to reconcile.
To the point of confiding in his heart, Hu Buwei was very suspicious of this person, and he always treated his subordinate as if he was a stickler.
Although Hu Xiaotian knew Xu Zhengying, he had never talked with him. He said to his servant: "Tell him that my father accompanied the emperor to the Eastern Capital."
The servant said: "Master Xu is here to see the young master this time."
Hu Xiaotian was slightly startled. He and Xu Zhengying had no friendship. Then he thought that Xu Zhengying, as the Minister of Household Affairs, could not know the whereabouts of Hu Buwei. He came to see Hu Buwei at this time, maybe just to avoid Hu Buwei.
Could it be that this guy's purpose is to find something for himself? To save the country through a curve? Since there are indispensable benefits for him to ask for help, hehe, it doesn't hurt to see what kind of gift this guy gives.
Hu Xiaotian thought for a while and said: "Invite him to talk at Guanhe Pavilion!"
Guanhe Pavilion is an octagonal pavilion built by the pond in the backyard of Shangshu Mansion. It is surrounded by green grass, weeping willows, warblers and swallows, and lotus leaves are tender green, not yet completely unstretched, curled up, and gently blowing in the breeze.
Swaying gently, the fragrance of lotus leaves and the cool water vapor are refreshing and refreshing. Apart from anything else, this backyard alone is much larger than the public gardens in the community in the past.
Xu Zhengying is forty-three years old this year. He is a fourth-grade official. He is seven feet tall and slightly fat. Today he is wearing gray casual clothes and is followed by a servant in green clothes and a small hat. In these days, it is really hard not to have one or two followers by his side.
Too embarrassed to go out.
Hu Xiaotian saw Xu Zhengying coming, stood up to greet him, and bowed to him from a distance. After all, Xu Zhengying was his father's colleague, and he still had to take care of the basic etiquette: "Hello, Uncle Xu. My nephew is far away. Welcome back."
I hope you can forgive me." This guy is quite well-behaved in appearance, and his every move is polite.
