The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 68 Happy New Year's Eve
Back home, the aunt Jia chatted excitedly.

"I have seen it today. The palace is really magnificent. I almost lost my way after walking around, and the food and drink are also very particular. I have never eaten such a good meal in my life. The empress is approachable and approachable. She even said a few words to me. This life is worth it. My second child, I have been honored by you for being a mother."

The biological mother, Han Yue'er, looked a little depressed, and agreed with a forced smile. Zheng Xiong shook his own mother's hand and said.

"Without parents, how can there be children? Mother's words are a bit serious."

Zheng Qi also spoke at the right time.

"Why do the family say these things, Xiong'er, you have to work hard, and it is right to not waste His Majesty's grace."

"What my father taught is that today, His Majesty has promoted his son to the fifth rank, and his salary has also increased a lot, 180 shi."

If one said that one's aunt's visit to the imperial palace was something one could brag about happily, then Zheng Xiong's promotion would be a happy event for the whole family. Not to mention the issue of being honored, it would be a great event just to honor the ancestors.

The biological mother, Han Yue'er, also showed a smile, happy and proud of her son.

The family thanked the emperor for his kindness, and they had a good time before going to rest. Zheng Xiong accompanied his biological mother Han Yueer and Zheng Xiu to the residence, and Zheng Xiong explained his biological mother on the way.

"Mother, don't be envious of auntie, next time the child will give mother a promise, and let's go to dinner together."

"It's not so easy. I'm happy to see that you are promising, but you don't have to work hard for your mother. My mother's wish in this life doesn't expect you to be rich and honor your ancestors. I just hope that you two are safe and well, and you will be satisfied with your grandson as soon as possible."

Well, parents all over the world are the same, and they may be happy about starting a career, but they have to be ranked behind starting a family, and they will be urged to marry if they don't pay attention like this.

Zheng Xiong didn't want to talk anymore, and Zheng Xiu who was on the side spoke again.

"Brother, I also want to go to the palace to have dinner, how about you fight hard and give me a whole life?"

Han Yueer looked at Zheng Xiu dumbfounded, not understanding anything.

"Your brother can't earn you a commandment. If you want a commandment, you have to marry quickly and let your future husband earn it for you."

The little girl blushed. She had seen some of her elder brother's marriage during this time, and she understood a little under her influence. She was a little shy thinking of her future husband.

It was really terrifying, Zheng Xiong didn't dare to stay longer, it was all the same thing, so he quickly slipped away.

On the other side, Lao Zhu and his old buddy drank and ate until midnight, and then they broke up. The banquet was over, and Empress Ma came over.

Seeing that Lao Zhu was very drunk, he hurriedly asked someone to prepare a hangover soup. After a lot of trouble, Lao Zhu became sober, Empress Ma complained.

"How can you be so drunk? I don't know how to drink less."

"It's okay, we're getting married today, we're happy, it's okay to drink some wine."

Poor parents all over the world, Empress Ma couldn't say anything, she took care of Lao Zhu silently.

"How are you doing over there? Are you not tired today?"

"What's the matter with me? They're the daughters-in-law of your old buddies. We've known each other for a long time and know how to measure, so we have two more new faces and a few more pleasantries."

"Is there a Zheng Jia family among the new faces, who was ordered this year?"

"Yes, if she hadn't said her son's name was Zheng Xiong, I wouldn't have remembered it. This Zheng Xiong is capable of doing things, and I don't know how his parents taught him."

"He has made a lot of limelight today, and he is very popular. My son is getting married, and I don't know how to write two poems for the occasion. It is nondescript to write one for our daughter-in-law first. The next few poems written by a group of scholars are very good, just a little bit worse than us. They have literary talent, but they are not sensible."

"Oh, I'm interested when you say that, let's hear it."

Lao Zhu told Empress Ma a few poems and what happened.

Lao Zhu was shameless, and Empress Ma didn't expose him. The few poems written by Lao Zhu have momentum, but not literary talent.On the other hand, Zheng Xiong's few poems, except for the first one which is a bit out of tune, the literary talent and conception are all excellent, just think for a while.

"It's a talent, ability, and literary talent. Based on what he has done, I think it's a bit low to give him a fifth grade."

"It's not impossible to promote him. He has made great contributions, but he is lazy. He didn't come to court early and said he was busy, but we knew it very well. We woke up naturally every day. If Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau had done a lot of good things to benefit the people, we would have given him up. I'm afraid it won't work."

Empress Ma smiled.

"Speaking of today's incident, I have to blame you. If you hadn't used Zheng Xiong to rob them of the glory of Jinshi in the palace examination that day, I wouldn't have been blocked by them today."

"It's no wonder for us. We are worried about the governance of the world. Now it seems that the effect is good. Those Juren are very motivated. Today's performance of these Jinshi makes us a little disappointed. In the future, we should directly train a group of Juren. With Zheng Xiong as an example here, we should be able to do well."

"Think about it yourself, you can't tell me. It seems that Zheng Xiong should be nineteen this year. I heard that he hasn't married yet. I don't know why."

"Speaking of this, we really know something. It's also a weird thing. We can understand that he had to study and test his achievements in the past. Later, his family arranged a few blind dates for him, and he even married someone who was the same age as him. There is nothing wrong with being younger. He didn't just give birth. The women on the blind date were also weird. It is a great blessing to be able to marry you, and the world is peaceful now, so this is not acceptable."

"It's gone now. They say they'll have to wait two years before they get married. We can't let him go if we don't hurry up to have a baby. But from today's poems, he may have some problems, or he has someone he likes."

"Leave it to me. Since ancient times, getting married and having children has been the top priority. Only after you have a family can you do things better. Tomorrow I will call his mother into the palace and ask what's going on. If there is a girl we really like, we will give him a marriage. If your daughters are not too young, I would like to recruit him as a son-in-law."

"Stop it, this Zheng Xiong is not handsome and lazy, we don't like it, even if he is capable."

"Well, pretend I didn't say it, but now that Biao'er has taken a wife, what will your remaining son say."

"Don't worry, we have counted, take your time one by one, the second child, we are going to let Wang Baobao's sister be our daughter-in-law, what do you think?"
