Seeing the little Jingji who was tired from playing being carried back to the house, Zheng Pu also waved his hand, left the servants and servants, and went alone to sit in a pavilion by the stream at the foot of the mountain, closing his eyes and falling asleep.
This is his habit at home, and everyone has become accustomed to it.
However, today he was not in the mood for fishing.
Not only was the constant stream of requests disturbing his mind, but he was also very sleepy these days.
When leading an army on an expedition, it was exhausting and exhausting, but when returning home after the battle, the soreness of the back and legs caused by separation was better than the pain of a newlywed.
It's not that he is greedy for women and indulges in absurd sexual desires.
At the end of the year, he was only surrounded by his wife Zhang Yan and the concubine Du Shi that his mother was looking for.
But after he was assassinated in the Fortress of Manyin, he felt that things were uncertain, so he hoped to have more children.
It is not that he is worried about having no one to inherit his title and estate. His elder brother Zheng Yan now has three sons and two daughters. If he has no children in this life, his elder brother will also adopt a son and live in blood.
To be precise, for the sake of his wife Zhang Yan's future, Zheng Pu hopes that Zhang Yan can have a child.
No matter son or daughter.
At this time, there was no taboo against remarriage in the world.
With Zhang Yan's background and family status, even if he was unfortunately killed in the war one day, he would not have to worry about finding a good husband. However, if Empress Zhang had nothing to do, and Zhang Yan had nothing to do with her, she would probably be slandered by others in the future.
Moreover, if the heirs are in trouble, the problem lies with him.
Emperor Liu Chan always respected the Prime Minister personally and knew that the Prime Minister was worried and overworked and was in poor health. Therefore, two years ago he sent an imperial physician to stay in Hebei County to take care of the Prime Minister at all times.
Zheng Pu also took advantage of the fact that he was the emperor's brother-in-law and privately sought diagnosis from the imperial physician.
At that time, the imperial doctor said that his vitality was deficient.
Because he was fourteen years old when he was in mourning, which happened to be the time when his body was tall and his muscles and bones were strong, and he had been in mourning for three years without eating meat and fish, so his vitality was lacking after Jian Chang. In addition, he led the army away all the year round, so there was no shortage of food and drinks.
When you are lying on ice and pillows in the snow, without having time to heal your body, it is inevitable that your children will be in trouble.
well.
After all, they are Qin Se and Ming.
If you can think more about the other person's interests about some things, then think more about them. It's just a matter of sweating more and spending more money.
"Mr. Lang, we have a visitor."
Just when Zheng Pu was leaning on the pavilion pillars and feeling tired, the servant came to the house and whispered.
There are still some harassers today!
Zheng Pu was awakened with a look of hesitation on his face.
Because the prime minister's order has been given, everyone in Longyou knows that he will leave for Chengdu the next day to pay a visit to the emperor, collect his credentials and go as an envoy to the state of Wu. Logically, he should not be disturbed because he is ignorant of his interests.
"Who is coming?"
Zheng Pu asked without reaching out to receive the assassin.
I thought that if it was someone who didn't matter, I would just find an excuse to let the beggar reject it.
But obviously, his hopes were met with failure.
"Hui Langjun is Wang Wenfu from the mother-in-law of the Changzhi family."
When Qi Yacuo answered, he had no choice but to get up and go to the house, "Let's invite him into the hall to sit down first. I'll tidy up and go over. Well, don't forget to tell the chef to prepare a banquet."
"promise."
Wang Wenfu is Wang You of Li County, Guanghan County.
He is the son of Wang Fu who died in the Battle of Yiling, and is also the maternal cousin of his elder brother Zheng Yan.
Previously, he responded to the imperial court's encouragement of Bashu nobles to divide their households and come to Longyou. He was awarded the title of Chief of Shouyang in Longxi by his father's meritorious service. After several years of service, he had a good official reputation. Therefore, when the Hexi Corridor was recovered, he was transferred to Wuwei.
If nothing unexpected happens when you take up the post of Guzang Ling, you will be among the two thousand stones in a few years.
Brother Zheng Yan's mother's family is coming to visit, and a banquet will be held for him no matter what.
And Wang You didn't come here just for a favor.
Perhaps it was because he was about to take office, and out of his diligence in managing the herdsmen, he came to see me to learn more about Guzang's customs?
Thinking to himself, Zheng Pu, who had finished tidying up, walked into the hall, took the lead in saluting with a gurgling smile, and said jokingly, "Brother Wenfu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I wonder when did you return to Hebei County? You didn't know I was there?" , could it be that I don’t want to come because I think our banquet is simple?”
"Hahaha~~~"
Hearing this, Wang You was filled with joy. He held his hands and returned the courtesy and said with a smile, "I haven't seen Zijin for many years. I don't expect Zijin to be as harsh as ever! I just arrived in Ji County today. After paying a visit to the Prime Minister, I came to meet Zijin. I didn't expect that. Are you being blamed by Zijin?"
After saying this, both of them laughed.
Next to Wang You was a young man, who seemed to be around sixteen or seventeen years old. At this time, he stepped forward and saluted Zheng Pu, "Hua, pay homage to the Central Guards."
Zheng Pu was also slightly stunned. When he helped him up with a smile, he looked at Wang You and raised his eyebrows.
"This is my younger brother Wang Hua Wang Boyuan, the eldest son of the prefect of Ba County today."
Wang You made the introduction, "Bo Yuan came to Longyou to study last year and stayed at my place temporarily. Now that I have been transferred to Guzang, it is inconvenient for him to accompany me and he has been away from home for a long time, so I brought him here. Zijin arrived the next day As we set off back to Chengdu, I wonder if I can take him with me?"
Oh~~it’s actually Wang Hua!
After hearing this, Zheng Pu couldn't help but look surprised.
It's not that Wang Hua has a great reputation, but that no one in Bashu knows about his father and ancestors.
He is the direct descendant of Wangtang, the great craftsman. His eldest father, Wang Shang, once served as the prefect of Shu County and was also a well-known Yizhou scholar, no less than Qin Mi. His father's name was Peng, and he had served as an official in many places. He had a good reputation. Zheng Pu knew about him because his brother Zheng Yan once mentioned him in a letter, saying that his talent and learning were the best among his descendants in Guanghan.
Furthermore, Zheng Pu knew the reason why Wang You brought him here without asking.
With Wang Hua's family background, how could he go on a study tour without being protected by his retinue?
And on the road from Longyou to Bashu, the garrison officers and soldiers look at each other on the road. How can it be dangerous?
Wang You's move was simply to let Zheng Pu get to know Wang Hua as a person by taking advantage of the opportunity of walking along the way, and then make one or two comments about him. After all, with Zheng Pu's current official position and status, if he praised him highly, It will be of great benefit to Wang Hua's reputation and future career.
They are all descendants of aristocratic families, how can they not accumulate fame?
"It's just a matter of effort. Brother, just say so. You don't have to ask if it's okay."
Zheng Pu, who was fully aware of this, chuckled and nodded in agreement. He stretched out his hand to guide the two of them to sit down. Seeing that Wang Hua even bowed his head and thanked him before taking his seat, he explained leniently, "The two families of Prince Zheng and Prince Zheng are in-laws. Boyuan doesn't have to do this." "Restrained. And I have known your name for a long time. My brother mentioned you many times in his letters and praised you as a talented person from Guanghan!"
"I dare not be praised by the guards."
Wang Hua, who had just taken his seat, quickly stood up and spoke calmly and humbly, "Hua is young and has little knowledge and talent. He dare not be called a talented person in front of the guards. Moreover, I have never had the honor to meet the prefect of Wenshan, so I am afraid that the prefect's praise is I live up to the reputation of my father and ancestors and encouraged me to learn with words, but the guards do not need to take it seriously."
Actually recommending a name?
Oh, this guy is quite sincere.
Zheng Pu couldn't help but smile after hearing this.
Wang You, who was present at the table, waved his hand to Wang Hua, "Zijin has always disliked red tape, Boyuan, there is no need to be too modest."
After saying this, he asked Zheng Pu about the customs and taboos of the Hexi Corridor on the grounds that he was about to be appointed as Guzang. He changed the topic and made everyone at the table laugh at Yan Yan with the feeling of long separation.
