The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 69 Advising the Queen

Lao Zhu and Empress Ma chatted late into the night, not only worrying about his son's marriage, but also Zheng Xiong's marriage.There are many ways to win people's hearts, and those who are capable are naturally more attractive.

Zheng Xiong didn't know that his marital problem had been taken into consideration by Empress Ma, so he went to find tea when he got up the next day, and his aunt was recruited into the palace not long after.

Wandering in the outskirts of Nanjing City in casual clothes, Zheng Xiong stopped to chat with passers-by.

There is no good news, the spring tea is long gone, and the tea pickers have been sold out early. After shopping for a day, there is nothing to gain, and it is too late when I think about it.

As the evening approached, Zheng Xiong gave up his search and rushed back. When he passed by a house, a farmer was carrying a few puppies to give away.

Zheng Xiong became interested and stopped the farmer.

"Brother, wait, what's going on with your dogs."

The farmer took a look at Zheng Xiong. He didn't know how rich he was, but he was clearly dressed much better than himself, so he quickly got up and saluted.

"Master, my family dog ​​has given birth to a litter of puppies. One or two puppies is already the limit of the family. I'm going to give away the extra puppies. Let's see who wants them."

"Don't give it away. I want these dogs, and I won't take advantage of you. You make a price, and I will buy them."

"You don't need money, you just take it."

"That won't work. I'm a principled person. If I say I'll give you the money, you'll just keep it. Don't talk nonsense. Make a price. I'm in a hurry."

"Then look at it."

Zheng Xiong touched his pockets and went out to collect some tea, but he brought some money. After some groping, he took out [-] Wen, which is the daily salary of an ordinary person.

It wasn't much, but I got a day's salary for nothing, which made the man who was going to give away the dog very happy, so he gave Zheng Xiong the dog in his hand.

"Thank you sir."

Carrying a few dogs, Zheng Xiong rushed home. After a day of shopping, he couldn’t return empty-handed, just like a fisherman, even the air force, would buy a few fish to bring back. This was the last stubbornness.

After entering the house, I put the dog in a good place, told the maid at home to take care of it, and left.Getting a few dogs is completely a temporary idea, and raising a few dogs is even more trivial. My salary of 180 shi can't be eaten up.

My stomach protested a long time ago, and I didn't gain anything after running for a day, and I didn't eat enough.

When the food was on the table, Zheng Xiong feasted on it.

At the tea party after dinner, Zheng Qi said something first.

"Xiong'er, didn't you collect some tea when you went out, why didn't you see any tea, and brought back some dogs."

This question is a bit embarrassing, can you say that you have not received it?

"Now it's all summer tea. The big leaves are a bit bitter, so they are confiscated. On the way back, I saw a few dogs who were about to be given away, so I bought them back."

Zheng Qi didn't say much after listening.

"The empress called your mother to the palace today and asked why you are not married yet. Is there something unspeakable or you have someone you like. If you have someone you like, the empress told you that you can marry me."

Well, after finally getting the family members settled, the Empress Ma also came to get involved, and now she can't escape, the Empress is not so easy to fool.

"I don't have any problems. I don't have a lover yet. I just want to develop again."

"The empress said that if there is no one she likes, then she will ask you, and someone's girl will arrange for you when she reaches the age of marriage."

This damned arranged marriage is really delicious, but I can't say it, I don't have any psychological pressure, the flowers of the motherland are destroyed by me like this, how can I make myself a beast.

Even if you develop it slowly, if you don't bloom and bear fruit in a year or two, some rumors may come, and your own illnesses are minor.

"Mother, why don't you go to the palace again tomorrow to meet the empress, who is eighteen or nineteen years old, and it's fine to be pretty, and it's better to be more virtuous."

Jia Shi quickly waved his hand.

"You are a bit too courageous. I dare not say so many conditions. You should say it yourself."

The relationship is still not in place, if it is a little difficult, I shrink back, just take a trip by yourself.

"Alright then, I'll tell it myself."

On the second day, Zheng Xiong went to Huimin Pharmacy first, dealt with the documents accumulated over the past few days that needed to be signed and sealed, and after lunch, he went to the East Palace.

You can't just wander around in the harem, even Queen Ma is no exception, you can only ask for a meeting.

Arriving at the East Palace, handing over the greeting card, Zheng Xiong waited quietly, logically speaking, he shouldn't have come at this time, the spring night is short, and the crown prince is no exception.

The prince got the greeting card, he was a little curious, Zheng Xiong had done a lot of things, but he had never heard of any friendship with anyone, and he had never been to the prince's mansion in the East Palace, so this sudden visit was really strange.

If you can't figure it out, just call in and ask about the situation.

"Let Zheng Xiong come in."

Waiting left and right, finally waited until the crown prince received him, Zheng Xiong hurriedly followed.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Xiong, pay your respects to Your Highness."

"You don't need to be too polite, give me a seat, I don't know why Zheng Tiling is looking for this palace."

"Returning to Your Highness, the empress summoned the lower official's mother yesterday and wanted to give the lower official a marriage. I have some opinions on this and I need to discuss it with the empress empress. I came here to ask your highness to do me a favor and let the lower official go to the harem."

The prince was startled, he was so courageous, he didn't dare to say anything about his own marriage, but you still dare to offer opinions, I respect you for being a man.

"Well, if you have any opinions, tell me about it. If it's not too much, it's the same for me to convey it to you. You can talk about it first."

Zheng Xiong thought about it, and it would be fine to tell the prince.

"That lower official thinks so. The Empress gave the lower official a marriage, and the lower official couldn't ask for it. It's just that the lower official spent more time in the pharmacy and found that men and women are the best age to get married and have children. Before that, they were not considered long-term. The male is okay, but the female has a child. I hope the empress can find someone who is about eighteen or nineteen years old. In addition, I want to be more beautiful and virtuous, and I don't have any other requirements."

I am not timid, I dare not even think about this condition, whether it is beautiful or ugly depends on God's will, how dare I mention it.However, Zheng Xiong's words must be taken seriously. What Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau has done is obvious to all. Now the medicine made of nitroglycerin has an immediate effect on chest pain, not to mention the past deeds.

"I shouldn't be in a hurry. I'll ask my mother tomorrow, so I can have a buffer. Whether it succeeds or not depends on my mother's attitude. To be honest, your subsequent request is really too much."

No wonder Zhu Biao has such a great reputation, he can consider everything for his subordinates first, who doesn't like such a boss, who can stand up for his subordinates when things happen, and who doesn't work hard to repay him.

"Thank you, Your Highness, I have nothing to do with you, I will take my leave."
