For a distinguished guest like Gao Pangshi, who was of ordinary origin and had an even more ordinary life under the sect of the Prime Minister, Liang Wuliang County Honorable, of course he could not just find an inn and send him away.
Originally, he planned to let Gao Pangshi live in the backyard of the county government office. Anyway, he, Liang County Zun, only had one wife and one concubine by his side. His two sons were still young and had just started their education. They were both studying in their hometown, so there was no need to give up the backyard. It was troublesome. But Gao Jingshi refused to say anything. In the end, he had no choice but to have Liang County Zun personally come forward and borrow a villa belonging to the Zheng family, the largest squire in Ansu, for Gao Jingshi to deal with it temporarily for one night.
Although Ansu is not an inconspicuous Shangxian County, the Zheng family is unusual. There have been famous generals since the Yuan Dynasty, and they have been powerful. The officials began with Zheng Qing. "Ansu County Chronicles" in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and "Ansu County Chronicles" in the early Republic of China There is a biography in "Xushui County New Chronicle".
Zheng Qing was a native of Heishan in Suizhou during the Yuan Dynasty. He had military strategy and was good at caring for soldiers. He first guarded Zijin Pass, then fought at Hu River, defeated Caozhou, and became the general manager of thousands of households in Suizhou.
His son Zheng Delin was appointed as the magistrate of Suizhou under the influence of his father. Later he was appointed as the magistrate of Anzhou, Wanzhou, Liaozhou and Mozhou. He moved the capital to Cao Transport Envoy and was granted the title of General Xuanwu.
The second son, Zheng Deyou, was promoted to a hundred households. His nephew, Zheng Dequan, was given the post of recruiter. Sun Zhengzhang attacked the magistrate of Suizhou. To the east of Xiheishan Village is the tomb of Zheng Qing. In front of the tomb are stone figures and horses, and a large stele is erected to record his great achievements, and he is called Zheng Qing. Qing Monument is one of the eight scenic spots in Ansu County.
When he arrived in Zhengyang, he moved from Heishan to Suizhou and settled in Suizhou. When he arrived in Zhengluo, he moved from Suizhou to Ansu County.
In the Ming Dynasty, the Zheng family became even more prosperous, with prominent official positions and many successful candidates. There were three dynasties, and six generations of Zhongcheng - but there are only five generations now, because the last one is named Zheng Luo, and there is no one yet. Reached the level of minister.
Zheng Luo, named Yuxiu, was born in Ansu. He was a Jinshi in the 35th year of Jiajing. In addition to promoting officials in Dengzhou, he was conscripted as a censor. He impeached Yan Maoqing, Wan Cai and Wan Yulong of the Yan Song party. He became a councilor in Sichuan and moved to Shanxi to participate in politics. ——So he is now serving under Wang Chonggu.
Of course, a family like the Zheng family had already received Liang Wu's care and knew Gao Jingshi's identity - including the relationship between Gao Jingshi and Zhang Siwei. Therefore, they knew that Wang Chonggu was theoretically Gao Jingshi's relative and elder.
Since the current head of the Zheng family, Zheng Luo, serves under Wang Chonggu, and Gao Pingshi, his third uncle, is the second assistant to the emperor, how can the Zheng family not welcome him if he can come to the Zheng family's villa to rest for a night?
Of course, the Zheng family also knows why Mr. Liang made such an arrangement - there is someone behind me. Look how friendly my junior brother is to me. I am under the master's sect, so I am also very valued!
Local officials all know that the officials and aristocratic families under their control are well-established and cannot afford to offend them, but they do not want the other party to disrespect them too much.
However, the Zheng family's villa is in the county town and is not the main residence, so it is not very big. It will definitely not be able to accommodate two hundred servants. Even the Ansu County government cannot accommodate so many people. In the end, we can only find it in small teams. They stayed at the inn, while Gao Jue left two teams of more than 20 people to stay with Gao pragmatically in the Zheng Family Villa.
Naturally, the dinner was still hosted by Mr. Liang County, but there was nothing worth mentioning. There were fewer squires accompanying the guests this time, but it was still a sumptuous meal. Unfortunately, Gao Pragmatic was not interested in this, and he was thinking about where Huizhou was. A county is most likely to kill Shuai Jiamo and silence him. He will soon consider whether it is appropriate for him to intervene in this matter.
Seeing that he was absent-minded, Liang Wu did not dare to waste his time. After finishing the meal, he broke up the banquet in time and personally took Gao Jingshi to the Zheng Family Courtyard to rest. When he was leaving, Gao Jingshi was not paying attention and secretly gave him a gift.
Gao Jue has a tip bag.
Of course, the tip in the bag is not a clever plan, but a dozen pieces of silver.
However, as soon as he entered the other courtyard, Gao Jue reported the matter to Gao Pangshi.
Gao pragmatic didn't take it seriously at all, because he was someone who had been in the system and knew that this kind of thing could never be banned in the first place, and secondly, it might not be really good if it was banned. If something really happened to Liang Wu, he could only go to him.
Being pragmatic, there was no point in looking for Gao Jue, so what he did was just to form a good relationship. After all, Gao Jue was the person close to Gao Jingshi. As long as he didn't say bad things about Liang County Zun around Gao Jingshi.
Gao Jue had served as the personal soldier of Gao Jie, Gao Jie's uncle, and was no stranger to receiving red envelopes. However, even when Gao Jie was the superintendent of Cao Jiang, Gao Jue had never received such a big red envelope - ten taels of silver was really a lot.
Counting decimals, the number of red envelopes he received actually shows what Gao Jingjing's status is in the other person's mind.
However, Gao Jue also knew the temper of His Majesty Gao Jingshi: the eldest young master didn't care that the people below him enjoyed this kind of custom, and he rarely showed cynical behavior. He only cared about whether the people below him carried out the things he told him seriously.
How could a person who believes in black knowledge have such idealistic thinking?
Gao Jingshi was really tired today and planned to rest when he entered the other courtyard. However, Gao Jue carefully checked the entire courtyard and arranged the rotation of the two teams of servants in the first half of the night and the second half of the night.
People carry out vigilance - that's what they are well paid to do.
Shuai Jiamo was a little at a loss. He originally thought that Gao Jingshi would ask him for questions, but Gao Jingshi actually went to sleep directly. This made him worried that his affairs were not important in Gao Jingshi's eyes.
Of course, he also knew that although this matter was a big deal in his eyes, to Gao Pragmatic, it might not really matter. He might just be doing a small favor for his senior brother.
This made him a little disappointed and a little worried. He didn't know whether Gao Jingshi would really do what he promised at that time. What if Gao Shidu just agreed casually and let him go after he left Ansu County?
That's it.
Gao Jue returned from an inspection and saw that Shuai Jiamo was still standing in the garden in a daze. He couldn't help but feel a little funny and called him: "Shuai Xiucai, it's getting late. Go and have a rest. We have to go on the road tomorrow morning - by the way.
Can you ride a horse?"
Shuai Jiamo was a little embarrassed and said: "This... I can be a little bit good at it, but I can't run."
Gao Jue laughed and said: "It's enough if you can sit on a horse and walk. If the young master rides on a carriage, we can't run too fast."
Shuai Jiamo breathed a sigh of relief, responded, and asked a little embarrassedly: "This... Mr. Gao, do you know where I will sleep tonight?"
"Don't say goodbye, I'm not the head of the house, just call me Gao Jue." The head of the house means the big housekeeper. Gao Jue doesn't dare to admit it. Gao Wuzhen doesn't have a big housekeeper under his hands at all. If he insists on saying so,
Yes, it should be Gao Mo, Gao Xiaozhuang or Cao Gan, and he is only Gao Mo's deputy and recommended by Gao Mo. This is no joke.
After explaining the misunderstanding, Gao Jue said: "You sleep in the same room with me tonight."
"Ah? Oh, okay, okay." Shuai Jiamo was a little surprised and didn't see the strange look in Gao Jue's eyes.
