Chapter 1594: Unreasonable Father Wu
Wu Zheng smiled, "Although Jiangnan food depends on Huguang, it is not that bad. My son is prepared... I'm afraid my father is over-concerned?"
Dad Wu "snatched" the wine glass on the table, "While that girl hasn't combed herself yet, you should quickly take the person into the palace... It's really ignorant!"
Wu Zheng was speechless. His father had said so much, and he was waiting for him here. "Dad... my son already has a concubine, and his concubine has three concubines."
"Why... are you afraid of too many wives?" Old Dad Wu glared and said, "Only when he becomes a relative of King Jin and fights for the world, the King of Jin can stand on your side, at least he will not secretly stumbling at you... Besides, more women, aren't there more children or daughters?"
"Don't I already have a son and a daughter?"
"Your father is not afraid of having more grandchildren... the more the better!" Old Dad Wu became unreasonable, probably more difficult to deal with than meeting soldiers.
Wu Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "Li Haiyue is really too young."
"It's okay, the rice in the royal family is so big that she raises... No matter how bad your father has money, he can help you raise it."
"Son think about it again." When it comes to this, Wu Zheng could only follow it.
"No need to think about it, your father, I have already asked Mr. Wozi to be a matchmaker."
Wu Zheng was stunned. Where did this go?
"It is the order of your parents, the words of the matchmaker... This matter is decided so you can't let it go." Old Dad Wu said with a rut.
That's it?
Why are these words so familiar? Wu Zheng became a little confused.
"Let's talk about your sister's marriage." Dad Wu went to the next topic without hesitation.
Wu Zheng almost jumped up, "Dad, this matter is unusable. We cannot let our Wu family get a bad reputation for being custody and stealing themselves... Dad, this is a shame to our ancestors..."
"All mouthfuls of wretch." Old Dad Wu cursed, but subconsciously, he really took this trick. "Hey... Actually, my dad was also confused. You said that life was going through day by day. When your sister saw the world grow up, she said that women were too old to stay, and staying around became enemies... How could a princess, let's gossip? But your sister is stubborn... It's not all your kid's trouble!"
Listen, listen, this is called being caught in a gun.
Wu Zheng muttered, "Then you can't turn your sister into a wife... Rabbits don't eat grass by their nests."
"Bad!" Dad Wu suddenly became rude, "Your father started asking you to find a family for your younger sister three years ago, but you are looking for it! Isn't this a matter if you look for it?"
Wu Zheng was a little annoyed, "Didn't I look for it? My sister is not happy, what can I do?"
"Actually, that boy Shen Zhiyuan is pretty good... It's a pity that he married a Manchu woman... Tsk tsk. When he saw Mr. Shen a few days ago, he turned around and avoided... Alas, it's hard for him."
Wu Zheng was worried, "Or why should my son look for it again... By the way, there are so many talents in the academy, but my father hasn't paid attention to it?"
Dad Wu said angrily: "You don't care about your father? There are seven or eight out of ten, but she is not happy...why?"
Now the father and son have a common language, and they look at each other and smile bitterly.
Dad Wu took a few breaths and waved his hand and said, "Well... you go and tell her that it's best to get married. Anyway, you can't delay it anymore. It's really not... You can do it yourself!"
Wu Zheng sighed, things were still slow.
After tremblingly accompanying my father to finish the meal, he drank another cup of tea to help digestion.
When Wu Zheng was about to get up, Wu Dad asked without raising his eyes: "Do you want to be Prime Minister Cao or learn from Emperor Wen of Wei?"
Wu Zheng was stunned and then smiled and said, "Did my father think there is a difference between the two?"
"Yes." Dad Wu nodded affirmatively, "One covers his ears and steals the bell, and the other eats ugly."
Wu Zheng was very happy and said with a smile: "Did you also want to live up to the Emperor's addiction in your heart?"
Dad Wu looked up and glanced at his son, "Dad is not that kind of heart...but, if you really have the ability to revive the Han people's world, then... let's take it as your choice."
Wu Zheng looked at his father with some surprise, "Are you not afraid of being scolded by the world as a thief?"
Dad Wu looked up at the sky, "Since the time of Huizong, the Wu family has been called a thief for ten generations. I'm not afraid of having you one more generation!"
Speaking of this, Dad Wu lowered his head, stared at his son, and suddenly sighed: "It's a pity that my little sister is a daughter..."
Wu Zheng felt aroused and smiled and said, "Did your father still have the intention to assist the descendants of Huizong?"
Dad Wu was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go... do what you should do."
....
The Weaver Department is at the junction of Yu County and Renhe County, not far from the college, and it only takes a stick of incense to ride a horse.
Wu Zheng was not riding fast and leisurely, so he should have eaten.
This street, from Gongyuan to the north to the Censorate, is one of the few main roads in Hangzhou Prefecture. Even at night, people are still coming and going, and the lights are brightly lit.
Looking at the prosperity of the streets in front of him, Wu Zheng's originally depressed mood couldn't help but relieve himself.
He casually asked Lu Jincai beside him, "Remember you are from Songjiang Mansion?"
"Yes, I'm from Qingpu, Songjiang."
"How is your life at home?"
"Thank you for the blessing of the prince, I'll be old."
Wu Zheng glanced at Lu Jincai, "Have you learned to flatter?"
"I'm telling the truth. I'm entrusting the prince's blessing. My family has waived taxes because of my subordinates joining the army. My younger brother has entered the school and is still free to enroll... If this were the early years, I wouldn't dare to think about it."
Wu Zheng nodded, "Do you still have land at home?"
"Well... I had six acres of paddy fields earlier, but I sold them too early."
"Sold?" Wu Zheng asked in surprise, "Is there something wrong with my family? Why don't you tell me?"
Lu Jincai smiled embarrassedly and said, "Nothing happened. Didn't this build a new city three years ago? The land price of Songjiang Mansion was raised very high... Ordinary families are afraid that they have never seen so much money in their lives. The parents at home sold the land and house for a moment, selling more than 1,200 taels... To be honest, the prince was so happy at that time. Seeing that the sky was not in his home, he held a dozen taels in his pocket outside... In the end, his parents were anxious. It happened that the general's mansion recruited soldiers and sent his subordinates into the military camp."
Wu Zheng felt a little nervous and asked, "I sold my land and the house, where will your family live? How can I rely on for my life in the future?"
Lu Jincai was happy and said with a smile: "Don't I have any salary... In addition, Jiading was slaughtered by the Tartars in the north. The population was less than 23, and the land price was cheap. After my parents and I discussed it, we bought an empty house in Jiading City. It was a courtyard house with an area of more than 2 acres and a back garden. It cost less than 400 taels... Originally, my parents were still in love with the old house in Qingpu, but they didn't want to, but they still asked the prince for the blessing. Last year, the railway was built and passed by Jiading. Now the new house suddenly rose. It took a few days to write to my parents that someone wanted to pay 1,000 taels to buy our house..."
After hearing this, Wu Zheng couldn't help but choke and coughed dryly.
