This letter and congratulatory gift were all sent from Xiazhou, Longyou Province. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Xiazhou, Longyou Province, is located in a remote area, full of yellow sand, and is a place with a difficult environment. Zheng Heng has some impressions of this place, one is because of Zhao Fengchang, an official in the Kaixi period, and the other is because of Zheng Chao in the second room of Yongning Bo Mansion.

Zheng Chao did a lot of evil things when he was in Hedong Province, and was finally implicated by Zheng Ren, and was transferred to Xiazhou to serve as a recorder, and brought his wife Xie and other family members.

After leaving Hedong Road, Zheng Heng had no contact with the people in the second room. No, but now there are letters and congratulatory gifts from Xiazhou, who will send her these things?

Zheng Heng looked at these things quietly, and remembered a child in his mind.

The child looked like he was eight or nine years old, with a fair complexion, and the cinnabar mole on his forehead was as red as blood. At the beginning, the child played the flute with his eyes half-closed, and the scene was indescribably beautiful. Later, the child knelt before her and begged her earnestly......

The child finally followed Zheng Chao and Xie to Xiazhou, and then broke off contact and gradually disappeared in her memory.

This letter and congratulatory gift from Xia Zhou should have been sent by that child, right?

Sure enough, when she opened the letter, the first thing she saw was the word "big sister". Big Sister ...... That's right, that's what the kid called her.

At that time, she liked to listen to the children play the flute in the Guanya Courtyard, and occasionally taught the children to follow their hearts. Pity...... If it weren't for the death of Zhang's mother later, presumably their sister-brother relationship would not have been broken, right?

She hasn't been in touch with the child since. After more than a year, how could the child send her letters and congratulatory gifts?

There are only a few words in this letter, and the fifteenth birthday of the eldest sister is approaching, and a congratulatory gift was specially sent, wishing the eldest sister and Le Ankang and the inscription "Zheng Zhen".

Zheng Zhen, brother Zhen, sent her a birthday gift from Xiazhou.

Zheng Heng's gaze fell on the brocade box that was opened next to him. Inside the brocade box is a bamboo flute, which looks nothing special, and is even rougher than an ordinary bamboo flute, which is obviously not made by a craftsman who is skilled in flute making.

This bamboo flute, made by Brother Ge'er himself, is more meaningful and precious than the treasures of the famous flute.

She picked up the bamboo flute, put it to her lips and blew it, and when she heard the dissonant flute sound, her eyebrows and eyes were half-narrowed, and there was joy and sorrow in her eyes.

After a moment, she put down her flute and sighed softly.

What Brother Ji did really disappointed her. However, this is already a thing of the past for her, and in the past two years, she has occasionally thought of her brother and how he will live in Xiazhou, but that's all.

She has lived two lives, she has experienced too many things, and she has too many things to do, and she has long been used to not worrying about the old things, and the affairs of her brother have been put behind her.

She never thought that after so many things happened, Brother Ji still remembered her big sister, remembered her birthday, and would send her birthday gifts.

This heart is indeed too unexpected and too precious.

Under the influence of Zheng Chao and Xie, Brother Ji did a lot of wrong things. In the end, he is different from Zheng Chao and Xie.

What kind of mood did Brother Ji send her this congratulatory gift?

At this time, far away in Xiazhou, Longyou Dao, Zheng Zhen listened to the advice of his subordinates, and walked quickly to the main courtyard to visit his mother Xie.

Xie Shi leaned on the head of the bed and fell asleep, her face was thin, her cheeks seemed to have collapsed, and her face was sallow, her hair was greasy, and the corners of her eyebrows were covered with fine lines, and she seemed to be more than ten years older than her appearance in Hedong.

When she heard that Zheng Zhen was coming, she suddenly opened her eyes and asked with a look of hope, "Brother Zhen, has Jingzhao sent a letter?

Zheng Zhen looked at the thin and sick Xie Shi, shook his head and said, "Mother, Jingzhao has no letters, grandfather's side ...... There is no news. ”

Hearing these words, Xie Shi seemed to have been drained of all his strength, his eyes suddenly dimmed, and he muttered: "How can there be no news? Hasn't my father received the letter? It's been another year, why did my father still take us away? Why ......?"

Zheng Zhen listened to Xie Shi's words silently, and wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it after all.

Since they came to Xiazhou, Xie often sent letters to Jingzhao, sending them to her father Xie Hui, asking his father to help transfer Zheng Chao out of Xiazhou, unwilling to stay in this ghost place anymore.

However, so much time has passed, and those letters are like stones sinking into the sea, and Jingzhao has not heard a single reply.

Even Zheng Zhen knew at his age, I was afraid that his grandfather, who was an important minister in the court, had already given up on them, otherwise how could this be the case? But his mother did not give up, and looked forward to Jingzhao's letter every day, and looked forward to leaving here every day.

After half a ring, he looked up at Xie Shi and comforted: "Mother, there is nothing bad here in Xiazhou, mother should recuperate, don't think about it." If Jingzhao has news, the child will definitely tell his mother as soon as possible. ”

He wanted to say that Jingzhao's grandfather would not have any letters, so that his mother should not have any more expectations. However, after seeing his mother's sick face, he still pressed the words.

Let the mother have a little hope in her heart, which may also be good for her condition......

Zheng Zhen thought so, and couldn't help but hear Xie curse loudly: "What about your father? Did he go to drink again? I don't know where he died?! He still doesn't want to leave, we're afraid we're all going to die here! He's just going to die drunk......

Speaking of excitement, Xie Shi kept pounding on the edge of the bed, his eyes were resentful, and his face looked extremely hideous. Who can believe that this is the dignified and beautiful second lady of the Zheng family in the past?

Changed, everything changed.

A touch of pain flashed in Zheng Zhen's eyes, and he only replied: "Mother, my father has gone to the official office, don't worry." We'll all be fine. ”

He thought of his father Zheng Chao, who didn't know where he was drunk, and thought that maybe it was a good thing for his father to be drunk, otherwise he would curse like his mother all day long, and punch and kick the slave from time to time, for fear that he would cause trouble.

It has been less than two years since Zheng Chao and his family came to Xiazhou. This period of time is enough to change many things, enough to change many people.

Xie Shi has changed, she can't accept the fact that she came to Xiazhou at all, she hopes to leave here all day long, and gradually falls to the root of the disease, and she only has this obsession in her heart;

Zheng Chao has also changed, he knows that there is no hope for his career, and after coming to Xiazhou, he became addicted to alcohol, drunk and dreamed all day long, and he didn't even go to the official office. If it weren't for the remoteness of Xiazhou, no one would pay attention to these places, and he would even lose the official position of recording affairs.

As for Zheng Zhen, it has changed. He seems to have grown up all of a sudden, not to mention his stature, and even his actions have become mature and steady. In the case that Xie and Zheng Chao didn't care about anything, he had become the backbone of the family.

From time to time, Zheng Ji will think of the situation in Hedong Province and those things in the past. If my father and mother hadn't done so many wrong things, they might not have come to Xiazhou, right? Also, big sister......

Jingzhao's big sister, she should have already received that congratulatory gift, right?

And in Jingzhao, Zheng Heng's and the ceremony finally arrived.
