Chapter 1398 Eccentric and selfish
When arrived at Huaiyang Marquis Mansion, the old marquis was already waiting in the study.
Zhan Chengqing didn't go to Ronghui Hall first, but just asked the maid in the front yard to pass a message, and he would go over to accompany the old lady for dinner after finishing the work.
Zhan Chengqing greeted his father, and then asked, "Father sent a message to let his son come over today, what's the matter?"
Lao Houye Zhan Hongzhang asked, "Is your errand in the Ministry of Household going well recently?"
When Zhan Chengqing heard his father asking about the errand, he became vigilant.
just replied indifferently: "It's going well. It is estimated that Prince Rui greeted him in advance, and his colleagues are getting along pretty well."
The old man heard that his second son, King Ti Rui, was a fox, and knew what the second son meant.
But he still said, "I know that the relationship between you and your eldest brother will definitely not return to the way it used to be, but you look at the face of your ancestors and the century-old foundation of the Marquis of Huaiyang, can't you help them? "
Zhan Chengqing closed his eyes, took a deep breath and spit it out: "Father, what do you think of me, since eldest brother has inherited the Huaiyang Marquis Mansion, he has the responsibility to make the Huaiyang Marquis Mansion carry forward.
I didn't embarrass Huaiyang Hou's mansion. I just returned to Beijing and my job in the household department has improved a little. I haven't even stood firm yet, so what can I do to help him, father, you are too biased.
And I told you three times before, don't stand in line, just stay neutral, did you listen to me at that time? Now that something has happened, let me reach out to help, how can I help?
What are the taboos of the sage, father doesn't know, do you think I can change the sage's view, or do you want to use my career to change the future of the big house, or do you want me to bore the sage together? over me. "
The old Marquis Zhan Hongzhang was stunned there, he just thought that his second son was guarded by Prince Rui, but he didn't think of the sage's opinion, and said somewhat unnaturally: "I'm old, I think it's wrong, you're right, I can't put your career in it any more."
Zhan Chengqing didn't expect that his father didn't say anything more today, and he was relieved, and he didn't tell lies, which was the way it was originally.
It is one thing for the sage to see Prince Rui's face, but it is different from the sage who believes in himself.
Besides, if I really gambled on my career to help the big house, it would be one thing for the big house to be indecent. I'm afraid that my sons and daughters would not forgive me, not to mention that I was not so generous to forgive their big house. things done.
Zhan Chengqing had dinner with his parents at the Hou's Mansion in Huaiyang, and he left after talking a little bit at home.
As soon as he left the house, Zhan Chengye and his son appeared in the old Houye's study in the front yard.
Zhan Chengye asked impatiently, "Father, what did the second brother say?"
Lao Houye Zhan Hongzhang looked at his eldest son and said, "He's also in trouble now, he just returned to the Ministry of Household and has not yet established a firm foothold, and besides, you still have to rely on yourself for some things.
At the very least, you have to change the sage's attitude towards you and regain the sage's trust, so that he will have the weight to speak for you, otherwise his career will also be compromised. "
Zhan Chengye suddenly raised his voice: "He still refuses to help me, right? Are those grievances more important than the glory of Huaiyang Houfu?"
Yunyi is not here. If he were here, he would definitely say that the Marquis of Huaiyang was inherited by your big house, and his glory should be created and guarded by you.
Those who have been separated are considered branches. As long as they don’t do bad things under the banner of the Marquis of Huaiyang, they are already worthy of you, and they take themselves too seriously.
Zhan Yunchang was afraid that his father would say something unpleasant, so he quickly said: "Father, the second uncle is probably in a dilemma. He has to stand firmly in the household before helping us. The second uncle has always been a lover.
Although we had some grudges with our big house before, I believe that the second uncle will never look at us and ignore us. After all, this is the legacy left by our ancestors. If the Huaiyang Marquis Mansion is defeated, it will not benefit them either. "
This is what Zhan Yunchang said to his grandfather. He can't start complaining about the second uncle like his father. The relationship with the second uncle will only get farther and farther, and it will become more and more extreme. Maybe it will annoy the second uncle. Going against them would be worth it.
