Chapter 523 Experience in dealing with people(1/2)
As the first month of October, the temperature suddenly turned and dropped.
The people in Jinling had already put on cotton jackets when they went out, and they hurried home after finishing their work, and were unwilling to stay outside for too long.
A carriage with the imperial seal galloped on the slightly cold street.
"Although the weather is so cold, it is not without benefits. At least the road is no longer blocked!"
The coachman held a horse whip, wrapped in a thick cotton jacket, a glove and a felt hat with ears, and even a windproof mask was covered with his face.
In the carriage, Zeng Shen was wearing a mournful costume and sat upright.
Opposite him, two teenagers, one man and one woman.
They were dressed in gorgeous clothes, the boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and the girl was about eleven or two. They were extraordinary in appearance, with a hint of nervousness in their eyes.
"Uncle Zeng, will we be fine?"
Ji Tianming saw the pale face of the little girl next to him and asked calmly.
"Don't worry, Princess Princess, Your Majesty has a good reputation and will not be detrimental to us."
Zeng Shen smiled and comforted him with a serious face: "This interview is just a normal process."
He thought about it and said firmly: "Even if anything happens during this period, I will do my best to protect the princess!"
"This is my promise to the prince!"
"Uncle Zeng, if we brothers and sisters can be safe today, we will definitely treat each other with father's courtesy tomorrow tomorrow!"
Ji Tianming's eyes were moved, and he suddenly got up and knelt down on one knee. The little girl next to him reacted a little slowly and quickly followed.
"What is Princess Princess doing? Get up quickly!"
Zeng Shen's face changed suddenly, and he quickly helped the two of them up and said seriously: "As long as you can be safe and sound, I will be satisfied."
Ji Tianming and his sister stood up, feeling support in their hearts and no longer thought about being so nervous just now.
The carriage crossed the street and came to the Meridian Gate.
"Three distinguished guests, the villain in front of you can't get in. Please take a few more steps."
The coachman parked the carriage in the parking space on the edge of the square, greeted Zeng Shen and the other two, and said with a respectful tone.
"Brother is so serious, this is the money for the car."
Zeng Shen came out this time and did not bring his subordinates. He took out a few taels of silver from his arms and handed it to the other party.
They had just arrived in Jinling for a short time and were not sure about the cost of the carriage, so they could only give it to the higher level.
"Please take back these distinguished guests. The villain is also working in the court. This kind of official business does not charge car money."
The coachman waved his hand and refused.
Zeng Shen was stunned, but his hand did not take back and insisted: "Then treat it as my personal hard money for the boy, not car money."
Seeing that the other party insisted, the coachman looked polite and hesitated to take out a broken silver and smiled and said, "The villain will take you one or two yuan. The villain will not go back, and will wait for you here."
Zeng Shen expressed concern on his face, "Will this delay your business?"
The coachman waved his hand quickly and smiled, "No, no, the money you earn in a villain's carriage in a day is enough."
As he said that, he raised the broken silver in his hand.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Zeng Shen smiled and bowed to say goodbye.
"Uncle Zeng, why are you so polite to you, a coachman?"
On the way to the Meridian Gate, Ji Xueer didn't understand what had happened just now.
"Uncle Zeng should want to learn more about Jinling through the coachman, right?" Ji Tianming said thoughtfully.
Zeng Shen did not answer, but instead said in the school: "Why do you think that prince?"
Ji Tianming thought for a longer time before he said, "We all came from Chang'an and were not familiar with Jinling. The coachman often ran around Jinling, so he must know many things that others didn't understand."
"If we have a good relationship with each other, we can avoid many troubles and better integrate into the local area."
Zeng Shen showed a gratified smile on his face and praised: "The prince is indeed smart. I do have this consideration. But there is another thing you didn't mention."
"I would like to ask Uncle Zeng for advice." Ji Tianming bowed and said seriously.
Zeng Shen put away the smile on his face, and his expression became serious, "Criminal, you must remember that you should never underestimate anyone!"
"Even if the other party is humble now and even in danger of life, who can expect the other party's future development? Will the disaster turn into good fortune and go to the next level?!"
He sighed softly, "Yu Chao has become a thing of the past, and the prince is no longer here. We have no capital for trial and error. Only by being cautious can we maintain wealth and stability in this life."
Zeng Shen’s words are very straightforward, and the meaning is extremely cruel.
At least for two children who have been rich and noble since childhood, they are no less than falling from heaven to earth.
But he must also talk about these things.
Otherwise, it would be too late to regret until the day of the accident.
"God understands it, I must follow Uncle Zeng's teachings."
Ji Tianming responded faster than Zeng Shen imagined.
Zeng Shen nodded slightly. It seemed that the experience of more than a year ago had made the other party grow a lot.
While talking, the three of them had already arrived outside the Meridian Gate.
After taking out the token that proves himself and expressing his purpose, the soldiers on duty at the Tiance Army immediately reported to him.
Soon, an eunuch came from the palace and picked up the three of them.
"This father-in-law, Zeng Shen, has not yet asked your name!"
Zeng Shen followed the other party and walked forward enthusiastically.
"Mr. Zeng is so serious. Our family has no choice but to have a surname Cao, and the name is Peng, and Peng with two moons and one bird."
Cao Peng said gently with a smile on his face.
"It turns out it's Eunuch Cao, I'm really disrespectful!"
Zeng Shen bowed his hand, smiled on his face, and took the initiative to chat. Cao Peng's respectful attitude made him very helpful, and his smile became more and more sincere.
"Eunuch Cao, I wonder if your Majesty summoned us today, do you have any decree?"
Zeng Shen said, took out a gold bar and gave it to the other party quietly.
Cao Peng's hand sank, his heart suddenly stumbled, and his eyes looked completely different when he looked at Zeng Shen.
That look seemed to be not a human, but a God of Wealth.
Don’t look at them serving His Majesty and Empress in the palace, they feel that there will be many people to take care of them.
In fact, basically few civil and military officials paid attention to them.
It is neither offended nor won over.
This is the first time he has encountered a little yellow croaker when he takes action.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Mr. Zeng, you are a good person, and we don't want to frame you."
Cao Peng grabbed Huang Jin tightly and said with a look of embarrassment: "Our Majesty really doesn't know what your will is to see you."
Zeng Shen's expression was still the same, and he guessed that there should be developments later.
Sure enough, I heard the other party say again: "But Your Majesty seems to be in a bad mood today and has never laughed in the Palace of Hearts for an afternoon."
"You need to be careful when you go there and don't do anything rude! Otherwise, if Your Majesty gets angry and blames you, no one can save you!"
This is enough!
Zeng Shen felt the truth in his heart, sighed that there were no white flowers in the gold, bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Cao, for your announcement, I know it in my heart."
Several people shuttled through the palace, and along the way, you could see the patrolling Tiance army and the palace maids and eunuchs coming and going.
After watching it, Zeng Shen also found something terrifying in his heart.
That is, both the soldiers and the palace maids and eunuchs have a very strong aura and are well-educated.
Zeng Shen just took a look at some of them and felt his breathing suffocated, which was extremely terrifying.
"Eunuch Cao, are everyone in the palace practicing martial arts?"
Zeng Shen thought for a long time, but he couldn't help asking.
"What the sir said is not exactly right, but it's almost the same."
Cao Peng smiled and said with a hint of fanaticism: "Your Majesty is kind now and cannot bear to see these slaves in our family. After decades, they will leave the palace in old age and weak force, and die in miserable life. Therefore, they specially created a meritorious method for eunuchs and palace maids so that everyone can practice."
"I'm not afraid that the sir knows that the martial arts practiced by people like our family can be able to replenish themselves and pass on the family line in the end!"
"Your Majesty is simply a re-creation of kindness to our servants! In this life, only by serving Your Majesty with all your heart can you repay a little kindness."
He put away a fanatical smile on his face, looked at Zeng Shen and the other two with a serious expression, reminding him: "So sir, you'd better not say anything bad about Your Majesty in the palace, otherwise don't talk about others, even our family will not let you go!"
Zeng Shen heard the other party’s murderous words and said seriously: “Don’t worry, Eunuch Cao, Your Majesty will definitely not save his life to the people below!”
