rebirth first official

Early in the morning, Gao Zhanming had just finished washing up when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

He asked the serving maid to go out to open the door, but it was Tang Yun standing outside the door.Tang Yun came in with a cup of soup in his hand, and said with a smile, "Cousin, this is the peanut and red date soup I made last night. It nourishes the stomach and activates blood circulation. It is very good to drink a bowl in the morning. I guess my cousin should get up Yes, and a bowl was delivered."

Gao Zhanming looked at her calmly, and motioned for her to put the soup bowl on the table: "Thank you."

It has been several days since Tang Yun lived in their house, and Gao Zhanming also cared a little about her, so he silently paid attention to her actions.It has to be said that this girl is quite wealthy.Many servants in the house didn't like Tang Yun very much at first.Although this girl was beautiful and had a poor background, because of what Tang did, people in the Gao family didn't have a good impression of these relatives of the Tang family.However, after these days, many of the servants in the mansion have gotten close to Tang Yun, which shows that Tang Yun has quite a set of methods to win people's hearts.

Tang Xue trusted Tang Yun very much. After she came, she entrusted Tang Yun with some housekeeping matters of the housewife.Since Gao Zhanming himself didn't trust Tang Xue, a foolish woman, there were not many things entrusted to her. All major affairs in the mansion were handled by Zhang Lu, the new family Cheng that Liu Da had found for Gao Zhanming. After Gao Zhanming came back from Shu , and also assigned Yinhe a position in the attached middle school to help him with housework.Therefore, the errands that Tang Yun took from Tang Xue were all trivial matters, and Gao Zhanming firmly controlled other important matters, so she couldn't make any troubles.

After Tang Yun left Gao Zhanming's room, Gao Zhanming went to find Jiacheng Zhang Lu, and it happened that Liu Da was also in Zhang Lu's room.

Gao Zhanming asked Zhang Lu: "I heard that Madam let Tang Yun take over some housework recently?"

Zhang Lu hurriedly said: "Yes." He reported to Gao Zhanming everything Tang Yun had done recently.Although this Tang Yun is also a girl from the Tang family, she is very different from Gao Zhanming's muddleheaded girl in how she does things. She can take care of everything that is entrusted to her in an orderly manner.

Gao Zhanming asked Liu Da: "Did you find anything unusual about her life experience?"

Liu Dao: "That's not true." He found a list and presented it to Gao Zhanming, which recorded that the Marquis Wu'an of the Tang family was stripped of his title ten years ago, and several court officials were dismissed. source.

Liu Dao: "My lord, Ma'am is now asking her to intervene in the family affairs. I'm thinking about Ma'am's meaning. I'm afraid she wants to point her to you as a concubine."

Gao Zhanming frowned.What Liu Da said, he didn't expect it, it was so good, Tang Xue suddenly called Tang Yun to live in the Taoist mansion, and also assigned her to do the housekeeping work, obviously she was going to live permanently.Tang Xue is also seventeen years old, he is not a child, and he himself is unmarried. This lonely man and widow live under the same roof, isn't he afraid of gossip?Tang Xue's intention is really very clear.

Before Tang Xue asked Gao Zhanming to read the list, Gao Zhanming picked out all the faults and rejected them all. If Tang Xue asked Gao Zhanming to accept Tang Yun as a concubine, this concubine would really be impeccable.She looks good, has a good temper, is also born in the same family, and has good abilities. The only shortcoming is that her family is in decline. Otherwise, such a girl would be more than enough to be assigned to a good family as the wife.

Although Tang Xue hasn't mentioned this matter yet, she probably wants Gao Zhanming and Tang Yun to cultivate their relationship first.

Gao Zhanming sighed.This time when he returned to Beijing, he hadn't officially taken up the post yet, so dealing with the relationship between people gave him a headache.He didn't want to marry a wife and take concubines at all, firstly because of his feelings for Li Jingruo, and secondly because he was afraid of trouble.It would be great if he could have a wife who shared his thoughts with him, but he could no longer give others such emotions.If you can't achieve a mind-to-heart connection, there will be too many troubles in the future.Marry someone who is honest and dull, what if she is as heartless as Tang Xue?Marry someone who is capable and shrewd, if he is like Gao Qiang, can't he scare people to death?Marrying a wife and taking a concubine is not just a matter of getting a vase and displaying it, but placing a living person at home, can it be less?

But it's useless to complain right now, you have to find a way to solve it.As for how to solve it, it depends on whether there are other forces behind Tang Yun. If Tang Yun is really just Tang Xue's niece and has nothing to do with other forces, that is a way to deal with it; There are other people behind the instructions, that is another method.

The next day, Gao Qiang called Gao Zhanming into the palace.She first asked Gao Zhanming to go to Yushitai to get acquainted with the office location in the future, and meet other Yushi to understand his responsibilities.Then, Gao Qiang called Gao Zhanming to Xianju Hall.

Gao Qiang first cared about Gao Zhanming's harvest today, and chatted with him about the current situation of Yushitai. Soon, she changed the topic to Gao Zhanming's taking a concubine.

In fact, Gao Qiang and Gao Zhanming have nothing to talk about in the court. Gao Zhanming has not officially taken office yet. Gao Qiang believes in his ability, so it is certainly not difficult for him to get started.Now Gao Qiang is most concerned about Gao Zhanming's personal affairs.

For Gao Zhanming, Gao Qiang loves talents very much.It has been a long time since their Gao family has produced someone as capable as Gao Zhanming, what she lacks is talent.But talents have to be used by her. If talents are disobedient and go against her, she definitely can't keep such a person.

Ever since Gao Zhanming emerged, Gao Qiang had already had this kind of worry.First, Gao Zhanming insisted on taking the scientific examination regardless of her objection, and then Gao Zhanming left the capital for Jiazhou... Two years ago, Gao Qiang would still believe Gao Zhanming's words, thinking that he was deliberately disposing of the Ministry of Rites for the benefit of the Gao family. He accidentally caught him and was released, but after these two years, Gao Qiang has already figured it out.Gao Zhanming is not a fool, just a mistake in the etiquette system, with the Gao family's means, can't he still be a noble person?It's his turn to sacrifice Gao Zhanming, a big pawn?After thinking about it, I'm afraid this matter is also within the scope of Gao Zhanming's own plan. He wanted to get rid of Gao Qiang's control, so he deliberately demoted himself out of Beijing to take revenge.He has indeed done a good job. If he had stayed in the capital for the past two years, he might not have achieved his current reputation, but now he has accumulated a good reputation and reputation among the people. heterogeneous.

The Gao family has an outlier!How could Gao Qiang be happy to hear such words!What she wants is the prosperity of the entire Gao family's direct lineage, and the preservation of the glory and wealth of the largest family, not for any of the Gao family's children to stand out on their own!

Furthermore, the relationship between Gao Zhanming and Li Jingruo made Gao Qiang feel very uncomfortable.Although Li Jingruo is not from the Zhao family, she is not very close to their Gao family. No matter how long she stretches her arms, she can't reach Xiangcheng. Now Xiangcheng is rich.King Yong is also considered a separatist force, if Gao Zhanming can bring the power of Xiangcheng under the command of their Gao family, it will be fine, but if Xiangcheng pulls Gao Zhanming over, she might as well not have Gao Zhanming as her nephew!Therefore, we must find a way to strengthen the connection between Gao Zhanming and the Gao family, so that Gao Zhanming can be completely used by her.The first step was to put Gao Zhanming into her camp from the perspective of the overall situation, so she issued an edict to recall Gao Zhanming to the capital.The second step is from a personal point of view, that is to place one's pawns around Gao Zhanming, such as taking concubines and wives for him.

Gao Qiang asked Gao Zhanming: "Ming'er, I heard from your mother that you are not satisfied with any of the girls that the Ai family chose for you?"

Gao Zhanming used the excuse that he was still young and wanted to start a career first and then start a family.

Gao Qiang said: "The main room can be left empty first, but you accept a few concubines to serve your daily life, this does not conflict with your achievements."

Gao Zhanming had already prepared his speech, and said: "What my aunt said is indeed reasonable. My nephew is also a hot-blooded man, and he will feel lonely in the dead of night. I hope to have a beautiful woman by my side. However, even if it is a concubine, my nephew does not want to be casual. To admit people into the house, it’s fine if you take in sensible girls, but if you take in ignorant girls, how can there be a peaceful life in the house?”

Gao Qiang was silent.It's not that she can't understand Gao Zhanming's considerations. If it's ignorance, Gao Zhanming's mother-in-law couldn't be more ignorant. With this lesson learned, it's not hard to understand Gao Zhanming's resistance to marrying a wife and taking concubines.She also had considerations in this regard, she didn't want Gao Zhanming to accept people casually, and wished that every concubine Ji could do it for him.

Gao Qiang said: "Can't you trust Auntie? The woman Auntie picks for you will be that kind of ignorant one?"

Gao Zhanming said: "My nephew never meant that. It's just that sometimes he knows people and faces but doesn't know his heart. Those who have never been in touch with him are from good backgrounds, and they are really good before they meet people." This is what his mother-in-law Tang It's snowing.Gao Zhanming continued, "My nephew still hopes to understand it more thoroughly before making a decision. Now my nephew has a woman he likes, her appearance and temperament are excellent, but the family affairs are a little bit worse."

"Oh?" Gao Qiang raised his eyebrows.She looked at Gao Zhanming's expression, and Gao Zhanming was also secretly observing her reaction.

After a while, Gao Qiang asked, "Which girl do you like?"

Gao Zhanming said: "My nephew hasn't made a decision yet, I still want to know more about it before making a plan. If my nephew really has a decision, I must first report to my aunt, and ask my aunt to make the decision for my nephew."

Gao Qiang was silent for a while, and said: "That's fine. The Ai family didn't want to force you to take in a girl you don't like, but you are not too young now, and there are not many people around you who are willing to take care of you. The Ai family is always unhappy. Don't worry. Since you have your own idea, it's all the better."

The two exchanged a few more words of greeting, Gao Qiang did not mention the matter of taking a concubine for him anymore, and Gao Zhanming saw that it was getting late, so he left the palace.

The reason why Gao Zhanming said that in front of Gao Qiang was because he suspected that Tang Yun was also arranged by Gao Qiang.A cousin suddenly came to Gao Zhanming's house. It is impossible for Gao Qiang not to know about it. Although the person Gao Zhanming mentioned just now, although he didn't name him, did hint at Tang Yun, it is impossible for Gao Qiang not to guess.But she didn't object, which meant that she didn't seem to object to Gao Zhanming accepting Tang Yun.

But this doesn't mean anything, no matter which girl Gao Zhanming mentioned to Gao Qiang, as long as Gao Qiang is not satisfied, can he insist on accepting it?Whether Tang Yun has any relationship with Gao Qiang, Gao Zhanming has to try it himself.

After returning home at night, Gao Zhanming spread out the letter paper and began to write letters.

Gao Zhanming filled up his pen and ink, and wrote Li Jingruo's name stroke by stroke on the letter paper.After writing these words, he was stunned for a while, and couldn't help laughing.

I don't know how Li Jingruo is doing in Shu now.If Li Jingruo knew that both Tang Xue and Gao Qiang were focused on putting women beside him, would this guy be so angry that he couldn't sleep?

After a while, Gao Zhanming began to write letters seriously.

As I was writing, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

Gao Zhanming said, "Come in."

Tang Yun came in with a cup of soup: "Cousin."

Gao Zhanming grabbed a book from his hand and covered it on the letter paper: "This is?"

Tang Yun lowered his head and smiled, "This is the health-preserving soup I made myself this afternoon, and I want to nourish my cousin's body."

I have to admit that the girl Tang Yun is not only proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is also a good cook. She has been changing ways to cook delicious food for Gao Zhanming these days. hungry.

He said, "Let it go."

Tang Yun put the tray down on the table and said, "My cousin still has business to do, so I won't bother you. I'll leave first."

Gao Zhanming said: "Thank you, you can go."

Tang Yun left the room.

After Gao Zhanming finished writing the letter, he put the letter in an envelope and put it in an unlocked drawer, then changed his clothes and went out.Seeing Gao Zhanming coming out, the maid outside the door quickly saluted: "Master."

Gao Zhanming said: "I'll go to the mansion next door, I won't be back for dinner, you can inform Madam for me." After finishing speaking, he walked out of the mansion.
