Chapter 173： The transformation of the Zhang family!

Yangzhou has entered the rainy season, and the spring rain is as smooth as crisp, and Yangzhou in the rain is even more delicate and charming.

Recently, the Yangzhou academic circle is very lively. First, the Taoist test is about to come, and Yangzhou talented scholars gather. Everyone gathers friends through literature. It is so lively.

In addition to the road test, there are many things worthy of attention and discussion in Yangzhou recently. For example, Lu Zheng, the head of the Yangzhou government’s trial case, was a madman in Wendou Beidi, Xinchenghe Shizijie, who fought a nobleman in the north and fled to Yangzhou Long face.

For example, Nie Yong, the county magistrate of Xinhe County, Yangzhou, was commended by the imperial court for his outstanding political achievements, especially his effective disaster relief last year, and he has been transferred to Tianfu.

In the past few years in Yangzhou, Nie Yong has been squeezed everywhere. Everyone in Yangzhou’s academic circles knows that Nie Yong has offended Dai Xiang. Who would have thought that such a person could stand out among the county magistrates of the eight counties in Yangzhou. ?

Although it cannot be said that the journey from Yangzhou to Yingtian is one step to the sky, Yingtian Palace has a special status. It belongs to the southern court and cannot be controlled by Zhili!

Ying Tianfu Fu Yin is a third-rank master, and the prefect of Yangzhou is just a small official from the fifth or even the sixth grade. This alone shows the huge difference between the two residences.

Nie Yong went to Yingtian Mansion and it was said that he still served as the county magistrate, but when Yingtian Mansion's county tried the first-class counties, Nie Yong's grade became the sixth rank, and his salary was almost doubled.

In addition, Yingtian was the seat of the capital of the Southern court, where powerful and powerful people were concentrated, and there were six branches in Jinling City. Nie Yong was an official in Jinling City, Yingtian Prefecture, and his future was almost different from that in Yangzhou.

At this moment, everyone mentioned Nie Yong's talents again. Nie Yong is the number one scholar in the top two, only one step away from the top three. Those who have boarded the Golden Luang Temple are all students of the emperor, and their backgrounds are different from others.

Therefore, in a word, everything is inferior only by studying high. The masters in Yangzhou academic circles all took Nie Yong as an example and instilled the idea of ​​studying high to their students and younger generations.

The county magistrate of Xinhe County is gone, and the new magistrate has not yet been determined. For the time being, Wu Fu will replace the county magistrate.

There is also Zhang Chengxi next to Wu Fu who is staring at him! Zhang Chengxi and Wu Fu are of the same rank. After Zhang Chengxi took office, Xinhe County's persuasion has improved greatly. This time Lu Zheng won the first place in the government trial, giving Xinhe County a big face. This is also what Zhang Chengxi can show off. What about his political achievements!

Zhang Mansion, in the old lady’s yard, Hua Hanyun asked the old lady to prepare ginseng soup and bring them over. The old lady stood up and said:

"Okay, okay, nothing big! It's just a little bit of wind and chill, no need to make a fuss, I think this body is getting better!"

Hua Hanyun smiled and said: "Old ancestors, don't be careless, you are in Zhang Mansion, that is the sky. If you have any shortcomings, the sky will collapse!"

The old ancestor smiled lightly and waved his hand: "Sister Hua, don't wear a high hat for me, it's not like you said! Haha, all right, sit down, it's going to be the hospital exam soon.

Our family has a great chance this time. Brother Hao and Brother Tian strive to win the talent! "

Zhang Baoyi on the side said: "Grandma, don't worry! Brother Hao and Ze Peng must do their best this time. You don't know, Master Su Qingsu even called Dad over and talked a few days ago! My Dad Having said that, Master Su takes the test, Xinhe County has great hope!"

"Yeah!" The old lady nodded, and turned her eyes to Hua Hanyun and said: "Sister Hua, for this exam preparation, the family has prepared special food, bird's nest, shark fin and other good things, I will not arrange it. Shao. Don’t forget to give the copy of Brother Zheng when you look back. After all, he is a member of my Zhang family. I said that he is the same as my own children, and he can’t be treated differently."

Hua Hanyun giggled and said: "I see, the ancestors are compassionate and add blessings to their longevity. Brother Zheng is very lucky. He lives in our Zhang family, and his ancestors take care of him in many ways. Otherwise, where does he have today? Such a name?"

Zhang Baoyi frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, but after all, he did not dare to say anything.

The two wives, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Su, were there, and neither of them said anything.

The current situation is different. First of all, Lu Zheng's status is high. Looking at Yangzhou, Lu Zheng is now a hot spot, and he has become the top talent in Yangzhou.

In addition, this time the leader of Lu Zheng's trial in the central government, really helped Zhang Chengxi a lot. Zhang Chengxi showed his face because of Lu Zheng's achievements!

And at this juncture, Nie Yong left, and a county magistrate suspended himself. Zhang Chengxi now has a lot more confidence in competing with Wu Fu.

When he walks outside now, others will praise: "Master Zhang is a good method, he has a set of academic studies!"

The "Thirteen Strategies" that Lu Zheng gave to Nie Yong was copied and executed by Zhang Chengxi. Now that Nie Yong is gone, it is not rare for Lu Zheng to take credit. All the credit goes to Zhang Chengxi.

Now Zhang Chengxi only hopes that the college test will be successful again. First of all, the talents in Xinhe County should have a few more talents. The most important thing is that if Lu Zheng can win the case, he will get a small three yuan, which will inevitably cause a sensation.

In that way, Zhang Chengxi's political achievements will be even more brilliant. Now he has secretly allowed people to move on Yingtian's side. He can show brilliant achievements. What does Wu Fu compare to him?

Zhang Chengxi's officialdom wisdom is very incompetent, but once a person enters the officialdom, the instinctive desire to climb is the same.

If a native of Zhang Chengxi's native township can become a county magistrate, with the resources of the Zhang family, he should be able to accomplish something in Yangzhou.

This time, Zhang Rong, who was far away in the capital, had a big change in his attitude. He wrote a special letter and came back to encourage Zhang Chengxi. This encouragement is undoubtedly a huge signal.

The release of this signal directly changed Zhang's mother's attitude. Otherwise, how could Zhang's mother let Hua Hanyun send Lu Zheng's bird's nest and shark fins? Want to be beautiful!

In the West Point Courtyard, Ying'er was humming a little song, feeling happy.

Although the sky is not beautiful recently and it has been raining all the time, it has ushered in the most comfortable days for Xijiaoyuan.

The girls in the West Point Yard walked out and looked decent wherever they went. When Ying'er worked as a girl next to the old lady, that kind of prestige is now back.

You know, before, the big girls like Xixiang, Osmanthus, and Meiyue were very arrogant in front of Ying'er. They were also big girls. They just thought they were superior!

But now the situation is different. Yinger went to the wife's yard yesterday, and the girls looked at her with low eyebrows and pleasing to their eyes, and they were all respectful and polite!

Let’s not talk about other places, let’s just talk about this side of the West Yard. The West Point Yard used to be a small corner. Now, there are no other people living in the entire yard. This side is the sphere of influence of Brother Zheng, and the whole family is up and down. Who heard that Lu Zheng's name was not praised? Don't take a high look?

The second master is also a frequent visitor here, coming over again and again, and sometimes it takes more than an hour to chat with Lu Zheng, and even stayed here a few times for dinner!

"Oh, sister-in-law, what did you send here?" Ying'er heard Lu Zheng's voice.

She turned her face slightly, glanced secretly in the direction of the front door, and saw Hua Hanyun carrying a large basket into the main hall with a smile.

"You fellow, if you are glib with your sister-in-law, aren't you afraid that your second brother will chop you? The things in this basket are given to you by the old lady.

Hey, it's amazing, now your identity is different, my sister-in-law is only worthy of giving you food! "Hua Hanyun giggled, her eyes fell on Lu Zheng's face, sharp as a knife.

Lu Zheng touched his nose with his hand, and was a little embarrassed by Hua Hanyun's gaze. He said faintly: "The old lady is compassionate, it adds good fortune and longevity, and my sister-in-law loves me. Good intentions will be rewarded."

When Hua Hanyun heard Lu Zheng say this, she laughed again, in a good mood, and said, "Brother Zheng, your mouth is really unusual. What you say is so warm in my sister-in-law!

It’s going to be the hospital exam soon. My sister-in-law heard that both Anqing and Changzhou were very talented. When you turn around, you have to work hard, try to suppress them, and take back the heaviest case leader. .

Hey, hey, if that happens, my sister-in-law will be able to say a lot for you in the future! "

Hua Hanjun said this very seriously, Lu Zheng was slightly taken aback, and he felt a little warm in his heart.

However, his mind is very clear. The current relationship between him and the Zhang family seems to be easing, but in fact it is just a matter of interest.

Zhang Chengxi wants to take the position, and Lu Zheng can use it, that's all, if not, where would they be their current cheeks?

Lu Zheng knew very well in his heart that he and the Zhang family were rivals from the beginning. The two sides could not reconcile, and he never expected himself to be accepted by the Zhang family. How could it be possible?

The Lu family who gave birth to him cannot accept him, but will the Zhang family accept him instead?

Lu Zheng has now begun to plan for the things after the hospital examination, and there is a faint feeling in his heart that he may be leaving Yangzhou after the hospital examination!

"Brother Zheng, after the Taoist trial, you can’t be as desperate as you are now. Take some time to visit Yushan. Your sister-in-law is thinking of you, but you can’t say that. I think you are also really good to your sister-in-law. Don't forget." Hua Hanyun said suddenly.

She paused, and then said: "Brother Zheng, if you really want to leave Yangzhou one day and take your sister-in-law away. You don't marry her, let her follow you for the rest of your life, and you will be better than her in Zhang's family without a status. Be strong.

She is in Zhang's house, and she will be gone. Sooner or later, everyone will be gone. I told you that, do you understand? "

Lu Zheng shook his hand slightly, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Hua Hanyun, feeling extremely shocked in his heart.

What happened to Hua Hanyun today? Why did you say this all of a sudden?

Although Lu Zheng and Hua Hanyun usually talk about each other, he has always been wary of this woman in his heart. The two can't talk about friendship at all. Hua Hanyun is not an ordinary woman. Can she not have that sense of proportion in her heart?

Lu Zheng turned countless thoughts in his heart instantly.
