Chapter 173 Zhang Family's Transformation!
Yangzhou has entered the rainy season, and the spring rain is as moist as soft as a soft, and Yangzhou in the rain curtain is even more delicate and charming.
Recently, the academic community in Yangzhou is very lively. First, the Taoist test is about to be imminent. Talented men in Yangzhou gather, and everyone makes friends through literature, which is very lively.
In addition to the Taoist test, there are many things worth paying attention to and discussing in Yangzhou recently. For example, the head of the Yangzhou Prefecture trial, Lu Zheng, Wendou, was in the Xinchenghe Cross Street, and defeated a noble man from the north and fled, giving Yangzhou a big face.
For example, Nie Yong, the county magistrate of Xinhe County, Yangzhou, was commended by the court for his outstanding political achievements, especially for his effective disaster relief last year.
In the past few years in Yangzhou, Nie Yong has been excluded everywhere, and he is alone everywhere. Everyone in the academic circle of Yangzhou knows that Nie Yong offended Dai Xiang. Who would have thought that such a person would stand out among the county magistrates of the eight counties in Yangzhou?
Although it cannot be said that it is a step to reach the sky from Yangzhou to Yingtian, Yingtian Mansion has a special status and is directly under the jurisdiction of the Southern Dynasty and cannot even control it!
The prefect of Yingtian Prefecture is a third-rank official, and the prefect of Yangzhou is just a small official from the fifth-rank or even the sixth-rank official. This alone shows the vast difference between the two prefectures.
It is said that Nie Yong was still the county magistrate when he went to Yingtian Prefecture, but in Yingtian Prefecture, the first-class county was tested in the county, and Nie Yong's grade became the sixth rank, and his salary almost doubled.
In addition, the place Yingtian is the capital of the Southern Dynasty. It has gathered many powerful people and a concentrated population. All six departments in Jinling City are there. Nie Yong was an official in Jinling City, Yingtian Prefecture, and his future is almost incomparable to Yangzhou.
At this moment, everyone mentioned Nie Yong's talent and knowledge. Nie Yong is the first to be a Jinshi, only one step away from the third grade. Those who have entered the Golden Palace are all disciples of the Emperor, and their origins are different from others.
Therefore, in one sentence, everything is inferior to the level of study. Masters in the academic circle of Yangzhou have taken Nie Yong as a role model to instill the concept of reading in their students and their descendants.
The Xinhe County Magistrate is gone, and the new county magistrate has not been confirmed yet. It is temporarily Wu Fu to replace the county magistrate, and the Xinhe County Government suddenly became lively.
There is also Zhang Chengxi next to Wu Fu and is eyeing him! Zhang Chengxi and Wu Fu are of the same rank. After Zhang Chengxi took office, Xinhe County's persuasion to study has improved greatly. This time, Lu Zheng won the head of the prefecture test case, giving Xinhe County a big face. This is also a political achievement that Zhang Chengxi can show off!
In the Zhang Mansion, in the old lady's yard, Hua Hanjun asked someone to prepare ginseng soup for the old lady. The old lady held a dragon head crutch and stood up and said:
"Okay, okay, it's not a big deal! It's just a little cold, there's no need to make a fuss. I feel like my body is almost straightforward!"
Hua Hanjun smiled and said, "Old ancestor, don't be careless. You are in Zhang Mansion, that's the sky. If you have any problems, the sky will collapse!"
The ancestor smiled softly and waved his hand and said, "Sister Hua, don't put a high hat on me, it's not like you said! Haha, okay, just sit down, it's time to take the exam soon.
Our family has a great chance this time. Brother Hao and Brother Tian strive to take the scholar down!”
Zhang Baoyi, who was standing beside him, said, "Grandma, don't worry! Brother Hao and Zepeng must have done their best this time. You don't know, a few days ago, Lord Su Qingsu called his father over and said something! My father said, Lord Su is the chief examiner, Xinhe County has great hope!"
"Yeah!" the old lady nodded, and she looked at Hua Hanjun and said, "Sister Hua, for this exam preparation, the family has prepared special food, and I have arranged a lot of good things such as bird's nest and shark fin. Don't forget to send the one Zheng Ge'er, after all, he is from my Zhang family. I said that he is the same as his own children, and he must not be able to wait for two."
Hua Hanjun giggled and said, "I understand. My ancestors are compassionate and have good fortune and longevity. Brother Zheng'er is blessed. He lives in our Zhang family. His ancestors take care of him from all walks of life. Otherwise, how could he have the reputation he has today?"
Zhang Baoyi frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to say anything after all.
The two wives, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Su, were also there, and neither of them said anything.
The situation is different now. First of all, Lu Zheng's status is high. Looking at Yangzhou, Lu Zheng is now very popular and has become the top talent in Yangzhou.
In addition, this time, Lu Zheng’s test for the case in the Central Government really helped Zhang Chengxi a lot, and Zhang Chengxi showed his face because of Lu Zheng’s achievements!
It happened to be at this juncture that Nie Yong left, and the county magistrate was empty, and Zhang Chengxi now competed with Wu Fu with more confidence.
Now when he goes outside, others will praise him: "Mr. Zhang has a good method and has a good way to study!"
The "Thirteen Strategies" published by Lu Zheng for Nie Yong was copied and executed by Zhang Chengxi. Now that Nie Yong is gone, Lu Zheng doesn't care about taking credit for it at all, and all this credit is left to Zhang Chengxi.
Now Zhang Chengxi only hopes that the Academy will win again. First of all, the talented men in Xinhe County should have a few more scholars. The most important thing is that if Lu Zheng can still win the case head and get the small three yuan at once, it will inevitably cause a sensation.
In this way, Zhang Chengxi's political achievements became even more outstanding. Now that he has secretly made people move around Yingtian, he can show outstanding achievements. What can Wu Fu compare with him?
Zhang Chengxi's officialdom wisdom is very incompetent, but once a person enters the officialdom, the instinctive mind of climbing up is the same.
If a local person from Zhang Chengxi Township can become a county magistrate, he should be able to achieve success in Yangzhou with the resources of the Zhang family.
This time, Zhang Rong, who was far away in the capital, changed a lot of attitude. He wrote a letter and encouraged Zhang Chengxi. This encouragement undoubtedly sent a huge signal.
The release of this signal directly changed Zhang's mother's attitude. Otherwise, how could Zhang's mother ask Hua Hanjun to send bird's nest and shark fins to Lu Zheng? She thought beautifully!
In the West Corner Courtyard, Ying'er hummed a small song and felt happy.
Although the weather has not been good recently and it has been raining all the time, it has ushered in the most comfortable day for West Kokyuan.
The girls and mothers in West Jiaoyuan walked out and were decent everywhere. When Ying'er was a girl next to the old lady, her majesty was back now.
You know, before, the big girls such as Xixiang, Guihua, and Meiyue were very arrogant in front of Ying'er. They were also big girls, and they thought they were superior!
But now the situation is different. Ying'er went to the eldest wife's yard yesterday. The girls looked down at her, and they were all respectful and polite!
Let’s not talk about other places, let’s talk about the West Courtyard. In the past, the West Courtyard was a small corner. Now, there are no one else living in the entire courtyard. This side is Zheng Ge’er’s sphere of influence. Who among the whole family did not say anything about Lu Zheng’s reputation? Don’t you look at him with a high look?
The second master is a regular visitor here. He comes here again and again. Sometimes he chats with Lu Zheng for more than an hour, and even stays here for several times!
"Oh, sister-in-law, what did you send here again?" Ying'er heard Lu Zheng's voice.
She looked slightly and secretly looked at the front door. She saw Hua Hanjun carrying a big basket and entering the main hall with a smile.
"You guy, aren't you afraid that your second brother will chop you up with your sister-in-law? The things in this basket were given to you by the old lady.
Hehe, it's amazing. Now your identity is different. My sister-in-law is only worthy of giving you food!" Hua Hanjun giggled, and her eyes fell on Lu Zheng's face, as sharp as a knife.
Lu Zheng touched his nose with his hand, and was a little embarrassed by Hua Hanjun's gaze. He said lightly: "The old lady is kind, and she will be blessed and longevity. My sister-in-law loves me too. Good intentions will be rewarded."
When Hua Hanjun heard Lu Zheng say this, she laughed again, feeling very good, and said, "Brother Zheng, your mouth is really extraordinary, and my sister-in-law's heart is very warm when she says something!
The hospital examination is about to be held. My sister-in-law heard that the talented people from Anqing Prefecture and Changzhou Prefecture are so powerful that they are so powerful that they can be defeated. Brother Zheng, you must do your best to suppress them and take back the most important case.
Tsk, tsk, if that could happen, my sister-in-law would be able to say a lot for you in the future!”
Hua Hanjun said this very seriously, Lu Zheng was slightly stunned and felt a little warm in his heart.
But he was very clear in his mind. At present, his relationship with the Zhang family seemed to be eased, but in fact it was just a matter of interests.
Zhang Chengxi wants to get to power, but Lu Zheng can use it, that's all. Otherwise, how could they be like now?
Lu Zheng knew very well that he and the Zhang family had been rivals from the beginning, and it was impossible for both sides to reconcile, and he never expected that he would be accepted by the Zhang family. How could that be possible?
The Lu family, who gave birth to him and raised him, could not accept him. Will the Zhang family accept him?
Lu Zheng has now started planning for what will happen after the hospital examination. He has a vague feeling in his heart that he may have to leave Yangzhou after the hospital examination!
"Brother Zheng, after the trial, you can't think you're so desperate now. Take some time to go to Yushan, your sister-in-law is thinking about you, but you can't say that I think you are really good to your sister-in-law, don't forget." Hua Hanjun suddenly said suddenly.
She paused and said, "Brother Zheng, if you really want to leave Yangzhou one day and take your sister-in-law away, you won't marry her and let her follow you for the rest of your life. If you don't have a status, you're better than her in the Zhang family.
She is in the Zhang family and will be lost sooner or later. I will say so, do you understand?"
Lu Zheng's hand shook slightly, and he suddenly looked up at Hua Hanjun, feeling extremely shocked.
What happened to Hua Hanjun today? Why did he suddenly say this?
Although Lu Zheng and Hua Hanjun are usually talking, they have always been wary of this woman in his heart. The two of them have no relationship at all. Hua Hanjun is not an ordinary woman. Can she not have that sense of restraint in her heart?
