Mr. Cheng was a little surprised, but for state officials who were in charge of supervising the military, government and civil affairs, there was nothing wrong with looking at the genealogy, it was just a little strange.
"I need to check some things." Cao Biejia obviously knew that his request was a bit strange, so he added with a smile and lowered his voice slightly, "The main thing is to see the second master."
After saying that, he gave Mr. Cheng a wink.
Master Cheng was immediately overjoyed.
Check the second master's affairs? Could it be that the second master's career is about to change?
Well, even if you get promoted or transferred, you don't need to look at your family tree, your resume is pretty complete...
However, there are no certainties in this world, just take a look.
Mr. Cheng happily asked someone to fetch the family tree and respectfully handed it over to Cao Biejia.
Cao Biejia did not open it and read it, but respectfully handed it to the man sitting next to him.
From beginning to end, there was no man who spoke and was not introduced.
To be able to sit here and be in the upper position of Cao Biejia, he must not be a follower...
Who is he?
Master Cheng looked at him with a slightly surprised expression.
Still no one introduced him, Cao Biejia looked at the tea bowl seriously, and it seemed like a flower was blooming inside.
"Second Master, how many children do you have?" the man asked suddenly.
"Two." Mr. Cheng replied subconsciously.
"Two?" the man asked, pointing to the family tree, "Then why are there three here?"
Three!
Mr. Cheng was stunned for a moment, then got up quickly and went over to take a look.
The second master indeed has three children in his name.
Looking at the words on it, Mr. Cheng sighed inwardly.
At first, my father loved the second master's children so much that he named them even before they were born and entered them into the family tree early.
If it had been discovered later or earlier that she was an idiot, this name would never have entered the family tree.
"Yes, three, three." He said with a smile, "This big one is in poor health and has been kept outside."
As for why it was wrong, few people in Jiangzhou City didn't know it. He had no need to hide it and was in no mood to explain.
The man didn't ask any more questions. He looked at the family tree again and put it on several cases.
"Master Cheng, please continue your work. Let's take our leave first." Cao Biejia said immediately with a smile.
I'm not busy, Mr. Cheng looked stunned.
"Hey, sir..." He was about to persuade him to stay, but Cao Biejia had already stood up and let the man go first before he raised his feet to follow.
Mr. Cheng had no choice but to send it out.
"Master Cao, what is this?" He grabbed Cao Biejia, who was a few steps behind, and asked in a low voice.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just taking a look, mainly the second master." Cao Biejia said, while looking at the man in front of him, after thinking about it, he lowered his voice and said, "I'm doing something for the people in Beijing."
When he clicked on it, Mr. Cheng understood.
To do things for people in Beijing, that is, someone in Beijing wants to ask Master Cheng.
Who in Beijing would think of asking Mr. Cheng Er?
Not long after Cao Biejia left, Mr. Cheng Er sent someone back.
"The person who came here said to check my explanation, there is something wrong." The boy relayed the words of Mr. Cheng Er. [Note 1]
When taking part in the imperial examination, Mr. Cheng's explanation papers had already been handed in. The one who could check this was the Ministry of Household Affairs.
With so many explanations, how could you think of looking up Mr. Cheng Er's?
Apart from promotion, there is really no other reason!
Mr. Cheng was overjoyed, but then he was shocked.
Examination of examination results has always been strict, and many students and candidates have lost their qualifications for scientific examinations because of this, which has caused many tragedies in the world.
"What's wrong with the second master's explanation?" he asked anxiously.
"It's said to be incomplete and needs to be checked again," the boy said.
Mr. Cheng suddenly realized that he met Cao Biejia's arrival, and it turned out to be this.
"Okay, I understand." He said, not caring about sitting down. "I will go to the state capital to ask again, but I can't ruin my future because of an explanation."
This sudden incident made the Cheng family nervous for several days, but Mr. Cheng inquired in many ways and spent all his favors and money, but he couldn't find out anything.
They all said it's okay, just asking casually.
No matter how much they asked, they couldn't get anything out. The two masters of the Cheng family could only wait uneasily, but no results, good or bad, came, as if this matter had never happened.
Some people are asking about the Cheng family, and some are asking about the Zhou family.
"Chun Ling, why are you asking about this?"
In Desheng Building, a waiter asked while cracking melon seeds.
It is difficult to inquire about a person in the capital because the capital is very big. It is also very easy to inquire about a person in the capital because people talk a lot, especially in restaurants, teahouses and brothels.
"I'm walking with Miss Zhu. It's always good to know more." Chun Ling said, "Good brother, tell me."
"Ask your wife, she knows better than us." Another boy said with a smile.
"How can I ask my wife to teach me these little things? I want to learn them myself." Chun Ling said seriously.
"Chun Ling is so sensible." The guys smiled and praised.
"Mrs. Zhu is so good to me, I want to do better and help her more, at least not to drag her down." Chun Ling lowered her head and said shyly.
"Okay, okay." The guys smiled and put away their playful smiles, "Let me tell you about these famous and powerful families in the capital. Let's start with the royal relatives."
Chun Ling nodded.
"Don't worry, brothers told me one by one, I still remember it," she said.
Not in a hurry, but in a steady manner, asking for what she wants without letting others discover what she wants. She is not in a hurry, she is still young, and she has plenty of time.
Compared to Chun Ling, who had many taboos and worries and had to be cautious, the Wang family members were much more straightforward in asking for information.
"As for the Zhou family, there's nothing much to say. People from Shaanzhou are rich, so they should go to General Delang." The man weighed the money in his hand and said casually.
Without hesitation, Uncle Gu took out another bucket of money and threw it to the man.
"...If you want to talk about it in detail, there is really something to say." The man immediately changed his subject and said with a smile, putting the two slings of money away, "Guide Lang, General Zhou's family is not ordinary."
"Why is it unusual? There are a lot of military attachés of this level in the capital." A follower couldn't help but ask, "And it's been so many years and I haven't been promoted. How come I'm unusual because I'm relying on Shaanzhou's capital?"
?”
"That was before." The man laughed and looked at them with a little pride.
These silly foreigners are also wealthy foreigners.
"Now General Guidelang's family has changed." The man smiled, with a bit of mystery.
transport?
Uncle Gu frowned slightly, so is this why he can go to Tian Street to see the lights?
"They have a god in their family." The man said in a low voice.
Gu Bo was stunned.
After a while, there was a noise in the teahouse.
"I didn't lie to anyone, I didn't lie to anyone."
The man who was suppressed by several followers shouted loudly.
"Don't hit me in the face!"
He wasn't hit in the face, but he was spat on.
"We are not stupid in giving you money, but we are trying to save effort. Don't be ungrateful and talk nonsense!" Gu Bo sneered and said, "We raise gods, why don't you say that their family is all gods descended to earth?"
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, I didn't lie to you." The man shouted, "Mr. Zhou's family has a miracle doctor who is the disciple of Taoist Li Zhenren. She can bring the dead back to life and save the eldest son of Chen Xianggong's family, Tong Neihan, who was sentenced to death.
, and he also cured the lame young man of the Qin family in the princess's mansion. He is truly amazing and amazing, and everyone in the capital knows about it!"
Gu Bo and others looked shocked.
What?
Miraculous doctor lady?
A disciple of Taoist Master Li Zhenren?
And the names of those who were treated.
Chen Xianggong, Tong Neihan, Princess Mansion!
Even though they are foreigners, husband, connotation, and princess, they still understand what it means!
it turns out!
"No wonder the Zhou family can go to Tianjie." Gu Bo nodded and said.
After treating any one of these families, it would not be difficult to go to Tianjie to see the lights, not to mention that three families were treated at once.
The Zhou family actually has a miracle doctor this week? They are indeed going to have good luck.
"Yes, yes, I didn't lie to you." The man shouted, "Let me up quickly."
Gu Bo looked down at the man, but he did not signal for everyone to let go, but instead signaled for them to step harder.
The man howled immediately.
"You didn't lie to us?" Gu Bo said with a sneer, "Don't everyone in the capital know this news? You actually dare to ask for our money, saying it is exclusive information!"
The man was trampled and screamed, thinking that he was unlucky.
"This doesn't count, this doesn't count, I gave you this as a gift. I really have exclusive information." He shouted again and again.
"Say it quickly while you're still alive!" Gu Bo sneered.
"The Zhou family of General Delang will not only be promoted, but he will also make a fortune." The man said hurriedly.
"Nonsense!" Gu Bo spat again, "With a miracle doctor at home, it would be strange not to make a fortune!"
"No, no," the man shouted hurriedly, "Miracle doctors don't make much money. Getting rich is another matter."
Why doesn't the miracle doctor get rich?
Uncle Gu frowned.
"Do you know Taipingju in the capital?" The man said hurriedly, fearing that he would be scolded again and not give them a chance to speak.
Of course I know.
After they arrived, Wang Qishilang, who was so poor that he couldn't even afford to stay in an inn, felt like a fish in water. However, because the prostitutes in the brothel wouldn't let him go, he went to find this famous restaurant in Beijing and had a few meals, including this one.
In Taipingju, I also tried Taiping Tofu, which is famous in the capital.
Thinking of Taiping Tofu, Gu Bo couldn't help but nodded, it was indeed pretty good.
If it were not impossible to carry it for long distances and preserve it, he would definitely take it back to the master and his wife.
"Does Shenxianju know?" the man continued.
Naturally, you know the passing fairy. It is very enjoyable to eat it in winter. You can take this back home. Now even street trekking shops have it. It is said that it comes from the passing fairy. It is so simple. You can try it after returning home.
.
"I know..." The man continued to ask, but Gu Bo stepped on him again and yelled, interrupting him.
"Stop talking nonsense and speak directly." Gubera yelled with a face.
"These two stores belong to the Zhou family," the man shouted.
What?
Are they all from the Zhou family?!
"Master Zhou."
Opening the door of the room and looking at Mr. Zhou sitting inside, Cheng Silang hesitated a little, but looking at shopkeeper Wu and the maid beside him with their heads lowered, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward.
"This is my sister's shop. Don't you think this account book is suitable?" he said with a trembling voice.
Looking at their cowardly looks, since they both have the surname Cheng, there shouldn't be much difference between them. It's really ridiculous.
Mr. Zhou was holding the tea bowl and didn't even bother to look at him.
