Prejudice and hatred accumulate over time, even if Lu Zheng speaks dryly, Kang Xintong will not understand her mother's hard work at once, but she is willing to think about this matter from her mother's perspective with a fair attitude, which can be regarded as a great progress.

Mother's affairs can be left for later thought, Kang Xintong is currently more concerned about the immediate ones, such as-

"Sir, do you also want the slave family to be your concubine?"

Unlike adults, children tend to be subtle when they mention these things, because they know that they are not to be publicized, and even to talk about them loudly is shameful, but children do not have so many concerns and are more honest and straightforward.

Lu Zheng patted her forehead with the palm of his hand and sighed, "Yellow-haired girl, she is not as tall as a human squeaky nest, do you really think that she looks like a fairy? If you were eighteen or nineteen years old, I would be willing to think about it if you asked this question. Now he is eight or nine years old, and even a slightly normal man looks down on him. ”

Kang Xintong's cheeks were red, and he held back a sentence, "The slave family is already twelve." ”

Lu Zheng rubbed the top of her hair.

"It's windy, let's go home. ”

“…… Promise. ”

Kang Xintong couldn't help but bury his emaciated and flushed cheeks in his cloak, and the corners of his eyes were a little red.

Lu Zheng's mansion is much larger than Kang Xintong's stepfather, but it is also much simpler, whether it is the gate or the main hall for entertaining guests, there is no decoration, it is very simple, there are only a few carved decorations on the walls, it seems simple but it is comfortable and elegant. On the other hand, Kang Xintong's stepfather was eager to put all the gold and silver artifacts he won in the war outside, so that outsiders could see how rich his booty was.

Thinking of this, Kang Xintong couldn't help but think wildly.

Mr. Lu said that his mother was also a trophy, so his stepfather always liked to let her dress up glamorously and movingly, and let her participate in the small gatherings of those broken mouths, is it also a kind of show-off? Showing off her booty is a noble lady from a noble family, and she must have good looks and self-cultivation, and there is no trace of bad in her body. On the other hand, those ladies are shorter than their mothers every time......

"From tomorrow onwards, you will live in the house as my righteous daughter. Lu Zheng took the hand stove handed by the servant, and a burst of warmth dispelled the coldness of his fingertips with a strong attitude, and he said, "There is no third master in the house except for me and you." If there is any shortage on weekdays, go directly to the housekeeper. In addition to the house, the housekeeper is basically a man, and you are a daughter's family, there should always be a few maids around to take care of your daily life, tomorrow I will ask the housekeeper to go to the tooth shop to pick a few over, and you can choose two to stay by your side......"

Kang Xintong stood in place, his little hands covered with red and purple chilblains were skinny and bone-thin, clutching the hems of his clothes on both sides.

"Why is the gentleman so good to the slave family?"

She didn't suspect that Lu Zheng had any bad intentions, but she was very puzzled, why did Lu Zheng treat her so well? You need to know that people in this world, even if parents raise children, the original intention is to continue the bloodline and pass on the ancestry, and people who are truly selfless are afraid that they are rare.

Lu Zheng said, "There is no special reason, if you really want to say, it is probably because I have been bored in the past days." ”

Kang Xintong was stunned, what kind of reason is this?

Even if she doesn't understand what Lu Zheng's identity is, even people like her stepfather who are often short-tempered and can't persuade anyone to persuade him after getting drunk are respectful to Lu Zheng, so it can be seen that Lu Zheng should be a big man. Shouldn't the big guys be in charge of everything every day and have little spare time?

Lu Zheng said, "No matter what you do, it's not a bad thing for you to do so much, and you don't have anything to make people plot." ”

Kang Xintong said embarrassedly, "The slave family is not self-sufficient, so Mr. smiled." ”

Lu Zheng asked the housekeeper to clean up the guest house and let Kang Xintong stay for the time being.

Seeing that he hadn't left, Kang Xintong couldn't help but be curious and asked a few more questions.

"Sir said he already has a family?"

Lu Zheng slowly blew the freshly brewed tea, and poured her a cup by the way.

Kang Xintong has had a hard time these years, but in the early years he was pampered, sitting down at one end, that temperament can't be faked, and at a glance he knows that he has undergone an excellent education. Lu Zheng said casually, "Yes, but they are not here, it is too chaotic here, and I don't feel at ease." ”

Kang Xintong let down his guard, looking very quiet, this mouth loves to talk, and he doesn't stop.

Lu Zheng couldn't help but think of someone.

Kang Xintong knew the proportions and didn't listen too much to Lu Zheng's situation, but turned the topic to Jiang Pengji.

She grabbed the tea bowl crampedly with both hands and said in a low voice, "Sir, can you tell us more about that Liu Xi?"

Lu Zheng was not surprised.

"She was my classmate. ”

Kang Xintong's eyes were already big, but now they opened even more round because of shock.

"But isn't she a woman? How can she be a classmate with her husband?"

Lu Zheng said, "She was dressed as a man by her father since she was a child, and she didn't go out into the day until many years ago. ”

"Others are blind, but they didn't see that she is their daughter's family......" Kang Xintong just finished speaking, and when he saw Lu Zheng's indescribable eyes, he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and remedied in a panic, "...... Sir, the slave family didn't mean you ......"

"It's normal not to recognize, after all...... No other woman is as ...... as she is."

At that time, men were still prevalent in motherhood, and Jiang Pengji was very harmonious in it.

As everyone knows, she is still the dream person of many young and ignorant scholar girls.

Lu Zheng seemed to think of something, and his expression was distorted for a moment.

Although he and Jiang Pengji didn't get along for a long time, she managed to leave a nightmarish shadow on Lu Zheng in this relationship.

Loss is loss, and Lu Zheng did not deny everything about Jiang Pengji.

"Liu Xi didn't have much reputation in his childhood, so he went to Hejian County to inquire, and most people only vaguely knew that there was such a Lang Jun, who lived in the inner house for a long time, and Mr. Xixi was a famous Confucian Wei Yuan in Dongqing, and more, so I couldn't inquire. Lu Zheng said, "At the age of twelve, he bloomed at the beginning of his career, trained his troops, cleared out bandits, and apprenticed to Yuanjing. After three years, Dongqing civil strife was frequent, and the three ethnic groups in northern Xinjiang were aggressive, Liu Xi's cousin gave marriage to Wu Majun, the fourth prince of Dongqing, and she married her sister instead of her father Liu She. Soon after, he was placed under house arrest in Beijing. ”

"House arrest?"

Kang Xintong exclaimed.

Lu Zheng said, "This involves the struggle between the two factions in the Dongqing Dynasty, and the reasons are more complicated...... In order to stabilize his power, Emperor Dongqing ordered the scholars to send their sons and daughters to Beijing as hostages, and saw this to contain all parties. If you are interested in the future, you can study it......"

"And how did she get out?"

Lu Zheng said, "I don't know what way she thought of to get out of trouble, because before I saw her move, there was a ground movement in Beijing." ”

Shangjing moved, the royal family moved the capital, abandoned the abandoned capital and moved the capital to Chenzhou, and gave up the people on that land.

In the past, it was all petty fights, and going to Beijing was the starting point for her to become famous all over the world.
