Chapter 309 Luo Jingfeng is coming
The large desk was quickly replaced. It was more than twice as big as the previous one. Xu Wan watched people clean it up and put Zong Zhao's things on it. There was still a large empty space on the desk.
She thought about it and placed the scrolls she used to draw and write and a few books she often read in a corner of the desk.
Since we are roommates, we should each have half. There is no reason for one person to give up all the space to another.
Xu Wan nodded with satisfaction and gradually adapted to the life of a two-person family.
Everyone in the mansion was busy because Zong Zhao was appointed the General of Zhenxi. Although the emperor gave him a general's mansion, Zong Zhao said he didn't want to move there. So the old lady took people to clean the mansion inside and out, and even hesitated whether to change the plaque on the gate.
Because of this, the old couple started arguing again, and Xu Wan was trying to persuade them by saying "yes, yes, yes", but it was obviously not very effective.
"Change it, change it. Zhao'er is a general now. You don't know how majestic Luo Jingfeng was when he was a general. But our family has a plaque of Marquis' Mansion on the door, which makes people see how petty we are." The old lady said happily and was already looking at the material of the plaque.
The old marquis blew his beard and glared, "Then where should I put the plaque of my mansion? After all, our family has a title. Zhao'er said he didn't want to move to the general's mansion, but you even covered up my title. It's unfair. You only have Zhao'er in your heart, right? You are too biased!"
"How am I biased? Zhao'er is my son and also your son. Don't you love him? Do you still want him to move out?" The old lady said wittily, "Is there any father like you? Your child has been made a general. Shouldn't you go to the ancestral temple to burn more incense and thank the ancestors for their blessings? You miss your title every day. I think we should hang the plaque of the Marquis' Mansion in our courtyard so that you can see it every day."
The old marquis was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick: "Who hung the plaque of the marquis' mansion in the courtyard? If anyone saw this, wouldn't they laugh to death?"
The old lady said indifferently, "You, if you die first, maybe others will die too. Everything is difficult at the beginning, so you should be the first to die."
Old Marquis: "..."
He vaguely remembered that when Zong Zhao first brought Jin Cheng back to perform as the eldest grandson in the clan's disc, she also said the same thing about the first runner.
What is this?
The most embarrassing one, he is the one who gets all the blame? ?
The old marquis was speechless. He was not good at quarreling to begin with, so he quickly grabbed his savior and said, "Ask Wan'er to tell us how to replace the plaque."
The old lady replied confidently, "Okay, Wan'er, you come and judge, am I right?"
Xu Wan swallowed her saliva, and hurriedly tried to speak with high emotional intelligence in her mind, so as not to upset the two elderly people.
She suggested, "Many generals were awarded this time, and the Pingxi General was also awarded the title of Duke of the Protectorate. Father-in-law and mother-in-law can observe and see if the plaque of the Duke of the Protectorate's house has changed?"
The old marquis and the old lady looked at each other and agreed: "That makes sense."
So, the impetuous old lady sent people to check how the plaque was placed in Luo Jingfeng's house, and they also wanted to change it in the same way.
Luo Jingfeng did not move house, but directly replaced the plaque of the General's Mansion with that of the Duke of Protectorate Mansion. His efficiency was so high.
The old lady won this battle and quickly asked someone to change the plaque of her own mansion to General's Mansion. At the end, she sighed: "Seeing these four big characters, I feel my back straightened a lot. I wonder who dares not invite me to a banquet in the future."
Old Marquis: "..."
Madam, I am touched by you.
But what the old lady said was right. The old marquis had no real power before, and she was from a merchant family. People in the capital were unwilling to associate with her and would not invite her to any banquets.
Later, things got better after Xu Wan got married, because her family was from the Shangshu Mansion, and those rich ladies still gave face to the Shangshu Mansion.
And now, Zong Zhao has been appointed as the general.
His wife and mother were both treated with great honor, especially his mother.
From then on, whenever people mentioned the old lady, they no longer said disdainfully that she was a mere merchant girl who married into a marquis's family, but respectfully acknowledged her as the mother of the Zhenxi general.
Houfu key class.
Shen Yibai was cheering: "The general's son, young general Jin Cheng?"
Wei Xinglu pushed him aside and said, "What do you mean by young general? Our Jincheng can't even stand on horseback properly. When we go to the battlefield, we can only sit in the military tent and make plans."
The ridiculed little devil slammed the table and shouted: "What's wrong with making plans? Zhuge Liang has been remembered in history for thousands of years!"
Wei Xinglu chuckled and said, "Zhuge Liang is not a general either."
He Zheng raised his hands and made a decision: "If you are not a general, then you are not a general. We are supposed to take the imperial examination. We want to get the first place and become a second-rank official. We want to be a loyal minister like Zhuge Liang!"
"What great ambition!" The little devil clapped his hands for him.
The children had a noisy argument and wanted to continue studying, but suddenly a tall figure came in, looking arrogant and intimidating.
Luo Jingfeng's arrogant and conceited face appeared, and he asked the little devil: "Didn't you say yesterday that you would practice martial arts when you return? Was it just a casual remark?"
When the little guys saw him, they were so frightened that they almost lost two of their three souls.
"Ah!!! Luo Jingfeng!!!" He Zheng shouted the loudest.
Minister He was afraid of offending Luo Jingfeng, so he tricked He Zheng back home and locked him up. Although he was released in the end, he eventually cut off all ties with his family.
Therefore, He Zheng had a huge psychological shadow caused by this person. When he saw Luo Jingfeng, he was so scared that he jumped to the side of Zong Jincheng, frightened like a quail.
When Wei Xinglu heard the scream, he also jumped up subconsciously: "Ah! What the hell! How could Luo Jingfeng appear here! Am I blind?!"
"Luo Jingfeng? Luo Jingfeng? Luo Jingfeng!" Shen Yibai had a look on his face that said 'Who am I, where am I, and what should I do?' He turned around a few times before being awakened by a slap from Zong Jincheng.
The little devil gritted his teeth and said, "Stop turning, you idiot."
Shen Yibai cried out: "Why is Luo Jingfeng here? Is he going to destroy our nest?"
He Zheng and Zong Wenxiu hurried over to cover his nonsense mouth to prevent Shen Yibai from being beaten to death.
A few kids huddled together, poking their heads out to look outside, but there was no one outside, not even Bu Yan. The five private tutors who had accompanied them in their studies were already kneeling on the ground obediently.
Luo Jingfeng, ah, Luo Jingfeng...that's Luo Jingfeng!
Although his official position was not as high as that of the crown prince, the crown prince was so gentle and approachable. Luo Jingfeng's reputation outside was so famous that it could stop a baby from crying at night. The private teachers were afraid that if they said one more word, their heads would go up to the sky and be shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
Zong Jincheng protected his brothers and glared at the traitor, saying, "What are you doing here? You are not welcome in my house."
Quail He Zheng suddenly turned his head to look at him, and was completely stunned.
No, brother, are you crazy?
That's Luo Jingfeng. You said such harsh words to him. Do you think your life is too long?
