Chapter 356 Father-in-law will help you gain experience
On the day when the heads of various departments in Changling came to the third branch of the Zhang family to report on their work, although Gong Yuanzheng was reluctant to leave Zhang Xueming, he still took the initiative to avoid them.
He returned to his courtyard in the third room and directed the servants to grind the medicinal herbs.
Upon hearing the news, the third old master felt even more satisfied.
After spending these days together, the Zhang family has come up with preliminary observations of Gong Yuanzheng:
He has good looks and good taste, and his height meets the average height standard for men in the Zhang family. He is not prone to obesity, which is enough to ensure that his offspring will not have bad appearance.
He is a young genius and one of the best in the field of poison research and detoxification. This shows that he has a good brain and it will be difficult for his descendants to become stupid people.
He is an honest person, lacking in social skills, but he is obedient, tactful, and knows when to advance and retreat. He is a bit soft and delicate, easily shy, taciturn, not fond of standing out, and only clings to one person, which makes him just suitable as the strong-willed and eloquent heir of the Zhang family.
As for martial arts, according to the message from the Sixth House, Gong Yuanzheng has a good foundation and an above-average understanding of martial arts. Now his strength has entered the ranks of second-rate masters, his hidden weapons are stronger than his swordsmanship, his light skills are the best, and he is good enough to protect himself.
The etiquette rules are a bit rigid, and he's not very good at elegant things. With some training he would be quite capable.
As for his family background, Sixth House Zhang Wenjin is his biological mother. Based on this alone, it doesn’t matter whether his father’s family is a noble family or not.
The most important thing is that Zhang Xueming can't live without him, and he can't live without Zhang Xueming. They each have their own problems, and being together happens to solve each other's problems.
"Sometimes, people really can't help but believe in fate." The third old master sighed, "Who knew that the 'medicine' that can cure Zhao Zhao is hidden in a remote mountain in the south? It's a pity for the two children of the seventh room."
Zhang Wenling just remained silent.
The Third Old Master glanced at his son, without any dissatisfaction, and said in a light tone: "Zhao Zhao didn't hide anything from us, nor did he say much good things about the Gong family. Let us see, investigate, and understand everything.
The children should be considerate of us elders, and we elders should also consider the children. No matter how you struggle, don’t forget that it is the Zhang family that needs Zhao Zhao, not Zhao Zhao that cannot leave the Zhang family. I think you have seen it clearly over the past two years.”
Whether from the perspective of emotion or interests, this marriage is the best choice.
Zhang Wenling moved his lips, wanting to say something, but in the end, no words came out.
The third old master smoothed the rice paper, picked up the brush to paint, and asked nonchalantly: "How is the temper of the girl from the Zheng family? After all, she has the blood of the Zhang family and is a sister of Zhao Zhao from the same mother. If she continues to be the same, she will inevitably cause trouble for Zhao Zhao in the future. The young master of the Zhang family was not specially trained to solve problems for the useless people of the Zheng family."
Zhang Wenling changed his previous silence and smiled like a spring breeze, but his eyes turned cold: "It seemed that she had changed before, so I had someone stage a scene to make her think that Zheng Zhongyi was dead. She cried once that day, but she didn't say she wanted to go to her father's coffin to see him. She wanted to go back to the South. I think she was still thinking about her lover Wu Feng... The wind in the north can't wake up a person pretending to be asleep."
The third old master kept writing, and the corners of his mouth curved without any emotion: "Did the Zheng family's kid know?"
"Please spare my life."
"Just follow the girl's example, change her face and identity, follow the Zhang family's practice of dealing with such people, cut off future troubles, and then send her away from the northern border in front of Zheng Zhongyi."
"Yes, father." Zhang Wenling accepted the order.
To eliminate future troubles means to make them lose their fertility.
The Zhang family can tolerate people who are in love, but they cannot tolerate people who are obsessed with their enemies.
Regardless of whether it is the direct branch or the collateral branch, even if it is biological children who have violated the taboo and cannot be corrected, they will be directly deprived of the right to reproduce and sent away from the Zhang family to fend for themselves, so as to prevent the inferior bloodline from being passed on.
This is why there are so many people in the Zhang family, and there are some idle people, but none of them are stupid and confused.
The third old master stopped writing, and on the snow-white rice paper, the ink of different shades formed a picture of an old man in a hat fishing.
"Did you return the Zheng family's Patriarch's Order that Zhao Zhao asked you to pass on to the young man of the Zheng family?"
"Return it."
"How did he say?"
"After going to the grassland and fighting the barbarians, no one mentioned that it would have been better if it was Zheng Nanyi who was sent back to the Zhang family. My son couldn't bear to hear that the nickname he gave to that piece of waste had the same pronunciation as Zhao Zhao... Now that Hunyuan is under control, we can send them back to their ancestral land."
Even if he is sent back, he will still be the one to carry the weight of the Zhang family for generations.
The Zhang family just takes them for a walk and makes them spend all their time on the road. What can they do?
It was not Zhang Xueming's suggestion to move the entire clan to the northern border. The Zheng family elders had their own efforts to move the clan back to the south. If anyone wants to blame someone, blame Zheng Zhongyi, who is incompetent and weak-willed.
Zhang Wenling said goodbye and went straight to Longxi Garden.
The heads of various departments were waiting in the flower hall waiting to be summoned, but he did not go there.
Standing quietly near the open window of the study, he watched Zhang Xueming, who was sitting behind the desk, smiling kindly and speaking softly to the people who came to report on their work, but with only indifference and scrutiny in his eyes.
Everything was just right. He handled things with ease and controlled people's hearts with ease, as if he had put on the mask of "Young Master of the Zhang Family" again.
Zhang Wenling looked for a while and left quietly.
He turned around, and Zhang Xueming glanced out the window, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Not long after, Gong Yuanzheng's inner voice came: [Zhao Zhao, your father really came to see me while you were away, saying that he wanted to take me out to broaden my horizons.]
【Do you want to go? 】
[…A little bit. I want to find out why your father is always hostile to me, even though I have behaved so well.]
Zhang Xueming looked at the middle-aged man waiting for her comments on the desk, lowered her eyes and slowly flipped through the booklet in front of her that recorded the questions: [This has nothing to do with whether you are obedient or not. As the old saying goes, the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him; the more a father-in-law looks at his son-in-law, the more he hates him. ]
Gong Yuanzheng was depressed: [But I'm not taking you away from them, I'm here to join you. He said he was learning something new, but I'm afraid he was setting a trap for me to fall into.]
Zhang Xueming laughed grimly: [Then do you want to go out with him? ]
Gong Yuanzheng was even more depressed: [I had no choice but to go out. I told you that I had an appointment with you to take me out when you were free, but he didn't listen and even tried to pull me.]
The man sitting opposite the desk began to daydream in the silence of the room.
Zhang Xueming raised his eyes and glanced at his face, then lowered his eyes and turned the pages of a book: [Do you have the medicine bag and hidden weapon bag with you? Have you put on the pair of gloves that my elder sister gave you? Are you wearing the golden silk dress that I made for you? ]
Gong Yuanzheng said: [Hehe, you said yesterday that your father might come to see me today, so I dared to come here after I was well equipped. I took the Herb Extract and the Awakening Pills you gave me in advance, so I am not afraid of poison or drugs. But I thought he was going to take me to the martial arts arena to "compete", so I brought my long sword, short sword, and flares.]
The man opposite broke out in cold sweat.
[Just be prepared.] Zhang Xueming comforted him, [Don't panic if something happens. Call me if you can't solve it. No matter where you are, I will find you within a quarter of an hour.]
【Um. 】
Gong Yuanzheng calmed down and gave up struggling, letting Zhang Wenling drag him away. He turned back to warn the servants, "Do your job well, I'll check when I come back. If you don't meet the standards, you won't get the reward, and you'll get five slaps with the stick."
He then said to Jin Miao, who wanted to follow but was pressed on the acupoints by Zhang Wenling, "It's okay, Jin Miao, you just stay here, the acupoints will be released when the time comes. Don't bother Zhao Zhao, uncle won't do anything to me."
