A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

It is not easy to build a county and prince's palace, and it is economically impossible to export.

Otherwise, even if Zhao Yunrang agrees, the subsequent anger of the whole family eating bran-pharyngeal vegetables will make that person bleed.

The other way is to ask Zhao Yun to mediate.

But Zhao Yunrang's face cannot be used like this.

Let's put it this way, Zhao Yunrang's face cannot be used in places like this.

The first Wang family is no longer a member of the Wang family after marrying into the county prince's palace. At this moment, the prince's palace is compromised and the family is established, which means that there is no distinction between the inside and the outside.

Secondly, even if Zhao Yunrang could persuade Zeng Gongliang, it would only be for the sake of the clan, and then...

And then no more.

After that, he became a shameless clan elder.

Therefore, this issue cannot be thrown in front of Zhao Yunrang, as it will embarrass him.

That is unfilial!

Gao Taotao was in a dilemma and was about to decline politely when Wang suddenly stood up and said, "That's all, I won't embarrass you."

She left sadly, but Gao Taotao sat on the wax.

The sisters-in-law stood up one after another, and someone said: "She is in trouble, but who can help her?"

"We also want to help, but this is a matter of risking our lives!"

If our friendship has not reached that level, there is no way I would risk my life to help her. This statement is very reasonable and no one can refute it.

And with more than five thousand strings, this hole is so big that it can mend the sky. Sisters, take care of yourself.

What is the concept of more than five thousand strings?

Ordinary people can become slaves.

Even well-off families can hang themselves.

Even wealthy families have to kneel down.

More than 5,000 yuan is equivalent to buying a house in a good place in the inner city.

Most people in the inner city cannot afford to buy a house at all, so in other words, if you are not from a wealthy family, you can rise to the top if you owe this kind of debt.

Gao Taotao sat there, and her sisters-in-law slowly walked past her, with pity in their eyes.

Let me take the credit first, we saved your son.

Then I said sadly that I won’t embarrass you...

this……

Not embarrass you?

I believe you!

You are committing moral kidnapping!

——My family can no longer survive. As a debtor, isn’t it time for you to reach out?

It doesn't matter if you don't reach out, your reputation will be ruined in the future.

——My mother saved her son, but after encountering difficulties, this woman actually stood by and watched.

What kind of spirit is this?

This is the spirit of watching the capsized ship from Yellow Crane Tower!

shameless!

Shameless!

Then Gao Taotao's reputation spread to the streets.

This is forced.

Wang returned all the way to her room, sat in front of the dressing table and stared at the bronze mirror.

The maid loosened her bun behind her, then found a comb and combed it back and forth.

Wang's hair is black and smooth.

The maid combed her hair for a while, then cleaned the dirt on the grate and began to tie her hair.

"Madam, there are more than five thousand strings, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do..."

Mrs. Wang closed her eyes and said calmly: "The family has become like that, and Zeng Gongliang's family is still unwilling to give up. What can I do? At this time, life and death are at stake. I don't want to embarrass her, but things at home are embarrassing me... I can't do anything. , then I have no choice but to wrong her."

The maid sighed: "But Thirteenth Lang doesn't have much money at all!"

Zhao Zongshi had an official position, although it was only an honorary title, but he had a salary.

But most of those salaries went into the account of the county prince's palace. Zhao Zongshi's original behavior was praised by others, but it only hurt his wife and children now.

So Zhao Zongshi probably didn't have much money there, more than 5,000 yuan... That was just a dream.

That's why the maid was puzzled.

Wang's eyes were fixed on the bronze mirror, looking at the pale woman in the mirror, and said calmly: "Thirteenth Lang has a 50% chance of entering the palace... If he takes action, Zeng Gongliang will naturally put things to rest."

…

Gao Taotao went back.

The suona echoed in their residence, which was very festive.

When Zhao Zongshi falls ill, suona must be present.

And once the mood is not good, suona is the best preventive method.

So the sound of suona can be heard here every now and then.

From being tolerant at first to becoming impatient later, those in the Prince's Palace did not hesitate at all.

They think it's too noisy!

But Gao Taotao felt that his voice was not enough.

How can one ascend to the highest place without the sound of celebration?

She whispered: "Guanren..."

Zhao Zongshi, who was closing his eyes to rest, opened his eyes and smiled: "But is there something difficult?"

The two were childhood sweethearts, and they had been married for many years, so they were very familiar with each other.

Gao Taotao's eyebrows were filled with excitement, but his fists were clenched, which showed that it was difficult.

Gao Taotao whispered: "Well... there are some difficulties in the Wang family, related to Zeng Gongliang's family, officials..."

Zhao Zongshi's eyes were indifferent, "Zeng Gongliang seems to be a good man, but he has a government. If it's official business, you can go and ask."

Gao Taotao's eyes lit up and he said, "It's a private matter."

You can get involved in official matters, but private matters should be a no-brainer, right?

Gao Taotao was happy in his heart, but Zhao Zongshi shook his head and said: "It's okay for husbands to pass messages on official business. There are some taboos among officials, but as long as it's not a big deal, it's not a big problem. But if it's a private matter, don't get involved in trivial matters, especially money transactions. Once If you mix it up, you are doing your own harm, do you understand?"

Gao Taotao said in confusion: "Officials, official matters are allowed, but private matters are not allowed. And private matters are not allowed..."

She was not stupid, but at the moment, her mind was filled with the benefits of returning Wang's favor, the pride of establishing her authority among her sisters-in-law, and finally, the sense of accomplishment of being connected with the Prime Minister.

As long as you have a good relationship with Zaifu, once things happen, no one will be able to drive their family out of the palace!

No one can!

Otherwise, the ministers would break into the harem directly and make the emperor miserable.

Zhao Zongshi did not think that his wife was stupid because of the power. He explained: "Private matters are friendship, favor, and tacit understanding. This is a big taboo."

You have already worn the same pants as the other ministers before you entered the palace. How about you wait until you enter the palace? Should I quickly make room for you?

This is taboo!

But Gao Taotao was still thinking about the importance of establishing a good relationship with the Prime Minister before entering the palace, so he said: "Official, it's okay for Shen An to have a good relationship with our family... Why is that?"

The relationship between Shen An and the county prince's palace can be called a close relationship, but no one has impeached him, and Zhao Zhen is not afraid of him.

Zhao Zongshi smiled and said: "He was still a young man at that time! Legal principles are nothing more than human relationships. If our family has been friends with Zeng Gongliang for many years, then there is no problem in coming forward now. But..."

He looked at his wife with a faint look, "If Zeng Gongliang had been friends with us for many years, he would not be able to be the prime minister."

Gao Taotao was horrified and said, "Yes, it is a taboo for the prime minister and important ministers to associate with the clan."

She was depressed, but she refused to tell Zhao Zongshi about Wang's attitude to avoid worrying him.

I couldn't tell my husband the anger and pain in my heart, I could only tell my son.

Zhao Zhongzhen ran around like a wild horse and was caught when he finally got home.

After hearing his mother's confusion, he frowned and said, "Mom, it's time to ask clearly about this matter."

How can we discuss things we haven’t asked clearly?

I'm so clueless that I can't think of an idea!

Gao Taotao said angrily: "She has a sad look on her face and is just asking about something. Now let's ask the reason... I wonder if you are a stupid kid. Is it easy to talk about other people's private matters? When you say it, it becomes a joke. Or a handle..."

You'd better be more honest when a woman is being unreasonable, otherwise you'll probably be sprayed with blood.

But Zhao Zhongzhen didn't know this truth, so he talked to his mother, and then the tragedy happened.

Half an hour later, he appeared at Shen's house in disgrace.

"Zeng Gongliang?"

Shen An was a little surprised, and at the same time, he was even more surprised at the huge amount of money involved.

"Is Lao Zeng so rich?"

"It's a loss."

Zhao Zhongzhen said with a headache: "I said that I should investigate first before making any decision, but my mother is unreasonable."

"Women are often unreasonable with their husbands and children. You will know this later when you get married."

Shen An casually deceived Zhao Zhongzhen, and then asked: "Is this urgent?"

Except for Zhao Zhongzhen's family and Zhao Yunrang, Shen An had no interest in caring about anyone else in the county prince's palace.

Zhao Zhongzhen said tangledly: "When a certain child was suddenly ill, Mrs. Wang once helped a doctor to help..."

"A life-saving grace? So...good."

Shen An nodded, "Chen Luo."

"Mr. Lang!"

Chen Luo came in to wait for orders.

"Go find Huang Chunlai outside the city."

Chen Luo went out, and Shen An said to Zhao Zhongzhen: "Go...that's all. It's not good to ask your mother's side anymore. You go ask Mrs. Wang who the person in contact with her brother is."

If you can't ask this question clearly, you won't be able to do it.

Zhao Zhongzhen went home all the way, and then went to see Wang.

"Is he here to ask questions?"

Wang didn't say the specific situation at that time. She was just waiting for Gao Taotao to ask and for her to express her position.

But Gao Taotao didn't come, but Zhao Zhongzhen did.

She said that matter briefly and concisely, then sat there blankly and sighed: "This matter...can't be done. Tell your family and let them figure it out on their own."

Gao Taotao felt that he was unable to help and was very embarrassed, so he stayed at home without going out.

…

The news was gathered in the afternoon, and Shen An took Zhao Zhongzhen to find someone.

"Lang Jun, that Zeng Ping is Zeng Gongliang's distant nephew. Because of his diligence, he got a steward at Zeng Gongliang's house, specifically in charge of external affairs..."

"Wang's brothers Wang Zheng and Zeng Ping were doing business together. They were trafficking goods from the south and were robbed in Yingchang Mansion. Zeng Ping said at first that they were going by water, but Wang Zheng insisted on going by land, so the goods were robbed. Wang Zheng’s matter.”

"Who robbed it?"

The Song Dynasty heard news of rebellions from time to time. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net There were also many people who fell into disgrace and became bandits, so robbery was not a rare thing.

Zhao Zhongzhen said tangledly: "There is a village in the local Funiu Mountain. It is said that there are more than a hundred strong men on it, and they sometimes come out to rob the village."

"No one cares?"

Shen An thought it was strange, but Zhao Zhongzhen said matter-of-factly: "They are farming on weekdays."

Is this a robber?

I'm afraid he's half peasant and half bandit.

He had some thoughts in his mind, and someone was already calling from the front.

Later he saw Zeng Ping, a very honest man.

"At that time, a certain person said he would be safe by taking the water route, but Wang Zheng said he would take the land route. Everyone behind was robbed."

Zeng Ping said very frustrated.
