Chapter 178 Proud (Part [-])
Chapter 170 Nine

The household department is short of money, and it won't take long to hide this matter.

Shengjing Xungui's family soon knew all about it.

There is no way, Northwest and Fujian are anxiously waiting for the imperial court to adjust the money. The Minister of the Ministry of Households cried poorly in the Golden Palace, and there were two people bickering and quarreling with the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Unable to hang on, he scolded each of them with a black face, and then dispersed.

The common people take it for fun, but the courtiers and clan relatives, Xungui, dare not.

This fire is burning back, and it may be on someone's body.

How long has it been since the Liu family was ransacked?

The Ministry of household also came to cry poor.

A stately mansion that is proud of itself looks glamorous and full of wealth from the outside, but it is actually like this in the end?
It's just an empty shell.

How many people think of their own family, and how many people look at other families.

Later, it was said that the Prince's Mansion of Changping County privately took more than 3 taels of silver and sent it to Yuqian.

After that, the news about the Zheng family transporting grain to the northwest spread.

At that time, the Zheng family was still having a banquet.

Zheng Shuangyi was the host and held a small gathering banquet, not too many people were invited, there were a few acquaintances, and the ladies from the rest of the duke's mansion, there were only a dozen or so people in total.

I don't know how this matter spread, anyway, all the women in the inner house knew about it.

The women and maids in charge of Zheng's mansion also spoke out, and they naturally told the ladies attending the banquet.

I don't know whose family flattered Zheng Shuangyi first, pulling Zheng Shuangyi to the sky, Shen Baozhi immediately took over the words: "Well, I see that you are the most kind people, it's strange that you are so well raised.

The top and bottom of the Zheng family shared the concerns of the officials like this, and the integrity of the loyal monarch and the country could not be praised even on Thumbling.

But he didn't want to publicize his work, so he bought food in private, found a proper dart company, and sent the dart to the northwest.

If it weren't for the goodness of the heavens, who did good deeds without leaving a name, I am afraid that the people in the northwest will not know who the favor is from after receiving such a great favor.

And he didn't take this to the official's house to ask for credit, which is really admirable from the bottom of his heart. "

Zheng Shuangyi covered her lips and smiled, too softly: "Stop saying that, grandfather and Aye always taught us that since we are the ones who have been favored by the emperor, we should be grateful for the rest of our lives.

The officials looked highly at our family, and the saints treated our family in every possible way. Naturally, we should share more of the burden for the officials and saints.

These are all things within one's ability, and if they are done, they will be done.

We did it to be worthy of our conscience, not for the sake of meritorious service, let alone for the sake of showing outsiders.

I don't know which one leaked the rumors with a broken mouth, and the rumors were uproarious, making it known all over the world.

My grandfather is probably going to be very angry about this, so don't mention it soon. "

"It's a good thing, what's there to be angry about?"

"You don't know, there was such a thing a few years ago, and my grandfather was furious when he went back." Zheng Shuangrong took over the words with a smile, "Those who followed the errands were also punished. I don’t know who stabbed it out.”

Jiang Wan and the others seemed particularly out of place.

She watched coldly under the gazebo, and even had to listen to those flattering and hypocritical words.

Those who compliment are others, and those who are hypocritical are the sisters of the Zheng family.

Because the distance is not too far, it can be heard clearly.

Zhou Wanning almost didn't spit it out: "Is it disgusting? Are you really treating others as fools?"

Pei Qingyuan tugged at her cuff to tell her to shut up: "This is a guest at Zheng's mansion, don't talk nonsense, it will startle people, it will not be good for you."

Jiang Wan also said yes: "He is proud of it, what a great contribution, this time I don't know how the government will reward his family, just like four years ago, two years ago, it was the same.

Nowadays, there is no one in Man Shengjing who does not curry favor with their sisters. When did Shen Baozhi treat others with such an attitude?

Just be clear in your heart, don't bring it on your face. "

Zhou Wanning clicked her tongue: "I'm really not convinced."

But what's the use of her being unconvinced?
The officials may not be ignorant of the Zheng family's little tricks, but the Zheng family has actually contributed money and efforts, and it is only for fame and reputation, and they don't care about anything.

The advantage is that the Zheng family has taken it all, so there is no way.

Zhou Wanning was very angry: "I can only blame me for not being able to reincarnate. I don't have a capable aunt to be the mother of the world!"

This is too much.

Even Jiang Wan's face changed: "You don't want to die!"

Zhou Wanning curled her lips: "I just feel uncomfortable, so I won't talk about it in the future."

Jiang Wan withdrew his hand, very serious: "I will tell you this, Auntie, you wait to be punished!"

Other things, small fights, whatever she says or does, her family will take care of her, can't help it, and there is Fan Yang Lu's family, can't help it anymore, there is Pei Guogong's mansion, there is Zhao Xing.

It can be arranged on the head of a saint, that is absolutely impossible.

Zhou Wanning did not refute, and accepted his fate: "The king of the county also took more than 3 taels of silver. Is it less than the grain sent to the northwest by the Zheng family? I don't see it. His family should take all the benefits and credits." , What's the matter without the county palace?"

Because the county prince's mansion is already extremely noble.

In the eyes of the world, my uncle's surname is Zhao. Since his surname is Zhao, the world belongs to the Zhao family, so it belongs to his family. No matter what he does, he should do it.

But the Zheng family is not.

Actually this is not right.

Since one is a monarch and minister, one must be loyal to the monarch and the country, so it is right to dedicate everything to the world, so why should it be credited?

It's just pros and cons going back and forth, which is very boring.

Jiang Wan took a deep breath, and didn't know how to persuade Zhou Wanning, because she also felt angry and disgusted by this matter.

In the end, it was Pei Qingyuan who saw it openly, holding one in each hand: "If you think about it from another angle, at least the people in the northwest have gained real benefits now, right?

Whether the Zheng family did it unintentionally or on purpose, whether they really cared for the people, or whether they were trying to gain fame for the sake of praising his family for their righteousness, those grains were sent to the Northwest, right?
And because it was arranged by the Zheng family in private, without the hands of the court, there is no fear of corruption.

Therefore, those grains were actually sent to the people, and no one could withhold them layer by layer.

With the Zheng family in charge, even if the officials in the Northwest had malicious intentions, they would not have the guts to do so.

Isn't this also a good thing? "

The two girls looked at each other, their expressions softened slightly.

Pei Qingyuan smiled and persuaded: "Since you are angry, you have made yourself angry like this, but you can't do anything about it, you might as well think about the good, and stop being angry when you think about it.

This thing is really disgusting, but it has already happened, and you can't control the thoughts of the official saints and the people of the world, isn't it unnecessary to make you feel sullen?
If his family is proud, he will be proud.

The pride of the Zheng clan did not come from a day or two, let alone these two things. "
