Dowry maid's daily life [Red Mansion]

From that day on, Wang Ziteng acted as if nothing had happened, he did his job with due diligence, but he dealt with it cautiously and humbly, without the arrogance of making great achievements.Even for Eucommia, he was just assigned to the department that inspected evidence and transcribed reported documents, and he didn't have any special care for him.

Because of Eucommia's achievements in saving people and catching assassins before, and because he injured his left arm on duty, no one would envy this little leisurely move.But Du Zhong knew whether it was good or bad, because he said to his sister: "This job is the safest job. It doesn't take risks but it has its own merits. It is not conspicuous but it doesn't interfere." Mang Ding has transformed into a "Confucian general" who can approve documents - this step has blocked the promotion of many low-level military officers. Being an official is like climbing a mountain. The higher you go, the narrower you walk. of.

Military generals have a dilemma, one is military exploits, and the other is civil affairs. Military exploits must have military opportunities, and the same is true for documents and official duties.You have to reach a certain rank before you start to have the opportunity to handle these official duties: Although it is your duty to be a general in the battlefield, whether you have this ability or whether the superior is willing to be promoted is related to the length and breadth of the road ahead, especially on the Day of Peace long present and future.For example, Wang Ziteng, what he does most on weekdays is to deal with official business in the printing room, and the number of inscriptions on the documents he has passed is no less than that of civil servants of the same rank.Another example is Xie Jing, he was indeed promoted to the guerrilla general through accumulated meritorious service, but this credit was not obtained by fighting bravely like Duzhong Songchen. Allowed to assist with clerical affairs, at this time, as long as the credit is made by the same guard envoy, even if it has nothing to do with the Qianhu Office under the command of Xie Jing, the credit will always be shared by those who handle it, and sometimes there will be big heads. The tail is small, that is, the higher the official rank, the more credit is given. Occasionally, Xie Jing's contribution to auxiliary book affairs can even be greater than that of the leading soldiers who have done meritorious service.

At the beginning, Xie Jing, as the deputy general, tried to protect Song Chen and Du Zhong to eradicate the bandit leader, because of this customary "rule" - if the meritorious service is unreliable, powerless and inexperienced soldiers, it is likely that only some property will fall on these people rewarded.If there is no Xie Jing, Song Chen and Du Zhong will have to wait a few more years before they can be promoted to the position of a hundred households.

Du Zhongyin said: "Since it's not involved, I just take it as a matter of repaying the assassin." In the future, Du Zhong can accept Xie Jing's care, because he knows that everyone can be friends and help each other. Come and go, pay back.But Wang Ziteng's care has changed.

Du Yun'an didn't even have the intention of setting up the memorial archway to take advantage of it, but said: "Before we fooled Xuanxu and cheated him once. Now that Master Wang has calmed down, my brother will find an opportunity to openly and honestly explain his position and intentions to Master Wang. Yes. After all, he took the Yangguan Road, and we crossed our single-plank bridge. After all, he has a lot of worries and will not do things that are forced."

Will Wang Ziteng admit it by force? Of course he won't, because he can't, and because he doesn't dare.

The Wang family has a total of twelve houses. Wang Ren is the eldest son of the eldest son. He was raised by the people of the Jinling tribe. Regardless of status or affection, he is the head of the Wang family.Wang Ziteng wanted to abolish him and kill him, and he did many things in many twists and turns, which shows the value of Wang Ren's status in the clan.But once such a precious eldest son is weak, it is the blood relatives who go up to bite him first, and then attack him. Now the Wang family branch in Jinling is still fighting for the position of the eldest son.At this time, if Wang Ziteng recognizes Eucommia, Du Zhong will be the target of public criticism. There are many ways for the family to force people to kill, and Wang Ziteng can't guarantee the safety of his son.In terms of etiquette, Eucommia is analogous to concubine sons or even concubine sons. This kind of small clan enters the big clan, and the inheritance of the clan's heirs has always been the most troublesome and labor-intensive. At that time, not only will Eucommia not be able to inherit his foundation, but even his current future will not be guaranteed. Otherwise, half of his life may be wasted in trouble.

On the other hand, Wang Ziteng claimed to know the new emperor very well, and the more he understood the current xinxing methods, the more jealous and fearful he became.Wang Ziteng knew that although he was right about the emperor and the officials, he had also made great contributions to the present, and he was slowly joining the team of "capable ministers" that he likes today, but he did know too many secrets. Can't trust him.If Brother Zhong had been raised under his knees since he was a child, and his father and son loved each other deeply, the Holy One might hold Brother Zhong in his hands and feel more at ease with him.Just like the great generals of the past dynasties who went out to fight, often leaving their families and relatives under the eyes of the emperor, this is the default "proton" between the monarch and his ministers.But the situation is different now, Brother Zhong is out of reach, and has no relationship with him for many years. If he recognizes him at this time, His Majesty will only suspect that he is a prince who wants to make trouble, and wants to form a party. Military generals are different from civil officials. Students and grandchildren, the same ancestry, the same ranking, and fellow villagers can all form cronies, but military generals have to rely on their brothers and soldiers. How can a military general with heirs be compared with a military general without heirs.This kind of superficial truth is understood by all the illiterate generals of the Wang family. In recent years, Wang Ziteng has no children. Although it is a pity, except for his own couple, they are the generals who have followed Wang Ziteng for many years.Song Taizu was supported by his subordinate generals, and the lessons of the yellow robe added to the body, all future emperors kept in mind the warning.

What's more, at this time when Wang Ziteng made great achievements and had a high reputation, Wang Ziteng suddenly recognized a son, who was an adult and quite talented young general. Everyone in the world would doubt his purpose.Because Wang Ziteng wants to fight against the power of the clan and record the "illegitimate child" with doubtful background on the genealogy, only by seeking the support of the Holy One can it be realized as soon as possible.How could the Holy Majesty do such a thing that disturbs the blood of the clan.Even if Wang Ziteng had no such intentions, others would put hats on him.

Wang Ziteng and the new emperor are the same kind of people who are scheming and scheming. Wang Ziteng asked himself, if he were the new emperor, he might suspect that the son who came back with great fanfare was just a stepping stone to block arrows and shields. A direct son of undoubted bloodline... With such doubts, it is bound to be even more suspicious that Wang Ziteng has the heart of cronies.

The matter of admitting the son to the clan is a dead end in a dilemma.Unless Wang Ziteng is willing to resign from office and retire in a corner for 23 years, after his influence in the court and army disappears, he will quietly recognize Brother Zhong, who is also willing to be mediocre...

----

Wang Ziteng saw it clearly, so Du Zhong also took the initiative to find an opportunity to speak frankly.

The last thing Du Zhong said was: "...he was born as a son of Du's family, and he will not change after death."

Wang Ziteng was silent for a long time before he said with difficulty: "What if I want to recognize you as my adopted son?"

Du Zhong was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "I dare not accept the kindness of Mr. Wang. I just ask Mr. Wang to inform his wife of this matter as soon as possible. This matter has been hidden from Mrs. for a long time, and the boy and my sister are deeply disturbed - Mrs. can't forgive me. Our brothers and sisters thank Mrs. for wrong love." , I would like to set up a longevity tablet for my wife, and pray for my wife's longevity and well-being; if my wife agrees, my sister-in-law will still be my wife's adopted daughter, and it is my duty to serve as a filial daughter in the future."

This is what even his uncle didn't want to admit, Wang Ziteng had nothing else to say except a wry smile.

While Eucommia was showing cold eyebrows to his ungrateful father, Yun'an also received an unexpected guest in Longwei Du's villa.

The guest was already old, and with a ignorant little grandson, he followed Mei Yue inside, showing some mocking and flattering expressions from time to time.

"Excuse me, who is your old man?" Yun An asked her to sit down.

The old woman hurriedly stood up, clasped her hands and said: "I've seen the eldest girl." As she spoke, she pushed her little grandson to bow to the girl. The child was shy and hugged her legs to hide behind him and could not come out.

She is old, so she saluted like this, Yun'an and Yingchun Daiyu hurriedly stood up and said again and again: "Please sit down, old man. We are young and can't bear it."

Mei Yue replied with a smile: "Girl, this is Grandma Liu, who lives in a village near our place, and many of our tenants recognize him. Just now the old man came and asked to see the girl, so the gatekeeper Zhuang Ding called the lady at home. brought her in."

Grandma Liu? !Yun An was stunned, feeling like he was unexpectedly happy with the treasure box from the sky in the game.
