Chapter 218: Conversation (II)

After a while, Lord Shiro relieved himself, then straightened his face, and raised the face of the elder to Zheng Wei, "Wild slave, you are also familiar with the history of the scriptures since you were a child, you should know what is the order of the young and the old, and you know that the father is the son, that is, Ah Yuan is alive, Ah Ling is standing here now, and he doesn't dare to talk to me like this, you kid, you have become a bastard, reading poetry and books in vain, and you don't have the slightest respect that you should have as a junior." ”

Ah Yuan refers to Zheng Wei's uncle Zheng Yuan, and Ah Ling is the nickname of Zheng Wei's father Zheng Han.

"I'm really a little too much today," Zheng Wei smiled and nodded in acknowledgement, "It's just that I just learned from my uncle, and my uncle didn't also forget the rules of the Zheng family in Xingyang." ”

Lord Shiro was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

I also heard Zheng Wei say: "The fourth uncle has been away from home for a long time, and I don't know that when I was in Xingyang, the family's attitude towards concubines, my great-grandfather has passed away for more than ten years, and his old man's last words, the fourth uncle has probably forgotten it, if you forget it, I will remind the fourth uncle of you, my great-grandfather has a saying: order the concubine to be abandoned, not to grow, so that future generations must not have children." ”

When Lord Shiro heard this, his face turned pale, and his face suddenly turned red, but he argued forcefully: "I won't say anything about the second room, just your big house, the order of the teeth, don't you also have children, since the wild slave wants to take care of the patriarch's affairs, you should first check whether you are innocent, don't think that I am in the south, far away, I don't know anything." ”

"Uncle really doesn't know anything. Zheng Wei didn't give any face, his eyes were blazing, and he stared at the fourth uncle: "The children born to the two ranked concubines in the big house, San Lang once saved the life of the second brother. Shi Niang's eight characters are weak, in order to make it grow up safely, he found Shi Niang as his stand-in. "Finished. paused slightly, "I want to know, Thirteen Langjun was born from a lowly background, and I don't know what credit can make Anu call an uncle." ”

Shiro said angrily: "You even scolded the straw bag, and in your eyes, you treated him as an uncle." ”

"Whether it should be treated as an uncle has something to do with admitting whether he is the son of an uncle or not, as for the straw bale. He deserves his name. ”

As soon as he heard this, Lord Shiro suddenly spread out on the table behind him, and his eyes widened. hated it very much, Zheng Wei's words, his weaknesses in every sentence, pressed on his lifeline. He was in this life. The most failed thing is that there are more than 20 children and grandchildren, but none of them have become talents, Qilang can only be regarded as half, for a time, he hated and loved Zheng Wei, although there are few people in the big house, but there are two good sons. In addition to Goro in front of him, there is also Dalang who came to Nan a few years ago. Both brothers were handsome for a while, and even he had to admit it.

Maybe back then, he took a wrong step, and he should send Qilang's eldest son to Xingyang for Aya and his eldest brother to raise in person.

Zheng Wei looked up at Lord Shiro's appearance, and felt that he had said everything he should have said, and the rest, no matter how much he said, it was useless, so he said: " Zhao Ji beside Thirteen Lang Jun has already been sold, and then Thirteen Lang Jun will come over, and ask his uncle to help persuade one or two, don't do anything again, I don't want any more concubines who are not in the stream, run to the door of the little lady's yard to cry and make a fuss, meet one, sell one, anyway, there are many concubines in the uncle's room, if it is not enough, there are more than 100 people in the music office, and they can be selected by all the children, not enough to buy again. ”

Saying that, without waiting for Lord Shiro to respond, he got up and saluted Lord Shiro, "It's getting late, my uncle rests early, and my son will retire first." ”

Looking at Zheng Wei's back as he turned away, before he opened the door, Lord Shiro cursed fiercely, "You disrespectful elders, you are not afraid of being struck by lightning." ”

Zheng Wei paused for a moment, and finally didn't look back, but his back became straighter and straighter, and at the same time, his heart was also relieved, when he opened the door, he looked at the two capitals guarding outside, and smiled easily, without any burden, and without the nervousness when he came before, even the steps under his feet were much brisker.

If the fourth uncle didn't say anything when he went out, he might still be a little worried, but after listening to the curse, he didn't have any worries, only the incompetent people would pin their hopes on prayers and curses, and only those who didn't seek progress would vent their anger by cursing.

Incompetent and unmotivated, what else does he have to worry about.

If the skin is not thick enough, the fourth uncle will leave with the whole family tomorrow, and if the skin is thick enough, the fourth uncle will live until the end of next month, and only leave after Jiuniang gets married.

But obviously, the next day, Zheng Wei knew that the fourth uncle was really thick-skinned.

It's just that this time it was much quieter, and he didn't make any more trouble, and even Thirteen Langjun didn't find him again, so Zheng Wei also fulfilled his promise and selected twenty young and beautiful Kabuki from the music work to send them over.

All the qiΔ“ was calmed down because of this.

When he came back the afternoon of the next day, Zheng Wei first went back to his main courtyard, saw Wen Zhubo and Fu Zhubo, and explained some things before going to Zheng Sui's courtyard, but when Zheng Wei arrived, Zheng Sui went to Jiuniang's courtyard, Zheng Wei saw it, and asked the maid to lead him to Zheng Sui's study.

The layout of the study is in accordance with the layout of the attic in Xingyang Wangzheng Garden, with four embroidered screens of ink and smoke and rain intercepting the room into two halves, the front is for writing and practicing the piano, the back is for resting and sleeping, and there is another room next door for books. There are celadon vases, a few pots of green potted plants, and some strange stone antiques on the museum shelves, the set of amber glass cups, and the set of imitation purple and blue glass cups that he specially fired, all of which are placed in an orderly manner in the bottom compartment, which is often used at a glance, so they are placed in a position that can be easily reached.

On the two walls, there are still two banners of persuasion.

In front of the case, there are two stacks of thin notebooks, pressed with tiger button paperweight, on the right side of the case, there is a painting tube made of red sandalwood zuΓ², which is full of paintings, compared to the last time I came, it seems to be a lot more, think about it, this girl, recently painted a lot of paintings in the house.

Zheng Wei thought so, so he walked over, reached out and took one at random, untied the tie and opened it, looked carefully, looked at the portrait on the picture, and couldn't help but be surprised, but suddenly heard Zheng Sui's voice coming, "Brother, what are you doing?"

"Xixi, what's going on?" Zheng Wei turned the scroll in his hand, the picture was facing Zheng Sui, and on it was a portrait of Huan Yu, he couldn't help but be surprised, and he couldn't help his face to be stern.

Zheng Sui walked up quickly, stretched out his hand and grabbed it, but glared at Zheng Wei angrily, "Who let you flip through my things." ”

"Hee-hee. Zheng Wei shouted, and said with a stern face: "Tell me, what's going on with this bottom?" said and stared at Zheng Sui tightly, not missing any subtle changes on Zheng Sui's face.

"What's going on. Zheng Sui took a closer look again, "Isn't this a portrait of Ah Ping, doesn't it look like a painting?" and glanced down again, she already felt extremely similar, because Yuan Sanniang urged her again yesterday, and it took her a morning to get out today.

Zheng Wei found that he and Zheng Sui were not talking about the same topic, and it was not a question of whether they were like or not, so he said: "Xixi, Brother wants to ask you, okay, what are you doing with the portrait of Uncle Huan?"

Looking at the serious appearance of the fifth brother, and then looking at the tense face, like a thief-like expression, Zheng Sui couldn't help but feel that the fifth brother was sick today, or had taken the wrong medicine, so he rolled the painting scroll and frowned and said: "It was Yuan Sanniang who begged me to help her paint a portrait of Aping, originally I didn't want to paint, but every time we met, Yuan Sanniang asked again, I have been delaying for more than a month, no way, it was finally completed this morning." ”

Zheng Wei only felt as if he had missed a beat in his heart, and he didn't believe it, "So, you painted this painting for Yuan Sanniang?"

Zheng Sui put away the scroll and nodded, "Of course, if I don't paint Ah Ping's portrait, Brother doesn't know, I don't like to paint portraits." ”

Zheng Wei did not deny this, and saw that Zheng Sui's expression was true, and there was no weakness and concealment, and he was relieved for a while, but he was cranky and let out a long breath, "Since it is completed, when are you going to send it over?"

"You have to meet each other, and you can't just send a painting over. "And just send a painting to Yuan's house, if you want to come to Yuan Sanniang, you can't receive it, this painting will be confiscated by Yuan's mother, and it has been more than a month since she came back, Zheng Sui vaguely understands that the Yuan family does not agree to this family matter, so he has not sent the media to Huan's house to propose marriage.

I don't know if Yuan Sanniang is making a fuss, can the family agree?

It's just that it's so easy for others to get married, it's Aping's turn, it's so difficult, the previous fiancΓ©e just died, I heard that one died before, but it's the same as Jiu Niang, there is a suspicion of punishment, if two people get together, is it possible to neutralize, but thinking of this, I think of Jiu Niang, this has been more than a month past, the king of Xiangdong County is alive, nothing at all, and no illness or pain, so at a glance, it's not Jiu Niang's life with a punishment, the previous three are just coincidences.

Thinking of this, Zheng Sui shook his head with a smile.

I heard Gorou say again: "Yesterday, I saw a group of acrobatic teams with outstanding skills outside, and I have already told Ah Weng, please come to the house to perform for a day, Xixi thinks, which day is suitable, just say to Ah Weng, which day please come, then you can also invite some familiar little ladies to come over, put a few seats in Cuiyin Pavilion, and have fun together." ”

When Zheng Sui heard this, he immediately became interested, "It's just right, I always go to other people's houses to attend banquets, I was about to invite back the last time, but I couldn't find Mingmu, but this time I can." Zheng Sui said, busy counting the days with his fingers.

Zheng Wei saw it, looked at the sky outside and darkened, and said: "Okay, later, you and Cai Fu will sum up, which day is suitable, don't rush this first, let's go to dinner first." ”。

Zheng Sui nodded heavily, hummed happily, and followed Zheng Wei out of the study. (To be continued......)
