Chapter 80: Discord
As soon as Zheng Jing stepped into Ming Yuxuan, several paper balls smashed head-on, making him avoid them, and then he heard a shout of reprimand, "Take a good look." ”
"Ayer. Zheng Jing came back to his senses and looked up at Zheng Han, who was kneeling on the couch with an angry face, although he had already prepared to bear his father's anger, he still didn't expect his father to be so direct.
After all, Cui Shilin is still in the house.
I only heard Zheng Han snort, "You privately wrote a letter to Pingcheng, you give me a closer look, they gave you a reply." Staring at Zheng Jing's gaze, he was full of resentment.
Cangsuo, who was guarding the door, had already closed the door, and Zheng Jing picked up the paper balls on the ground one by one, and slowly smoothed them out, which were a few letterheads and a few newspapers.
The letterhead was previously in Langhua Garden, in the retreat pavilion, Zheng Jing had seen it, it was an uncle's handwritten letter, at that time, Cui Shilin explained in detail, he was somewhat regretful in his heart, but he was still happy, and his uncle was also very happy, but Aye, the whole process, has been calm and silent.
As for the Di newspaper, in the past few months, there have been some changes in the Pingcheng court, and there are special people in the house to collect it, and the above news has already been read by him and his uncle Aye, and there are two important news in these two Di newspapers.
In August of the fifth year of Daxing, Uncle Cui Xingxian was promoted from Doctor of Guozixue to Taichangqing.
In October of the fifth year of Daxing, his maternal grandfather Cui Wei served as the Zhongshu Order.
The content on the letterhead was probably dictated by my grandfather and written by my uncle.
Just a month ago, Cui Shirou was hired as the concubine of the king of Beihai, Cui Shiqiao was engaged to the eldest daughter of Buliu's lonely family, Cui Shirou, the second daughter of the uncle, Cui Shiqiao, is the second son of the uncle, and the two marriages have been officially hired.
The eldest son of the uncle, Cui Shilin, married the daughter of the Lu clan of Fanyang, and the eldest daughter married Wang Yunzhi of the Langyu Wang clan, who fled from Southern Chu to Dayan.
In the past, when my grandmother took Wulang and Shi Niang to Pingcheng, Zheng and Cui had an agreement that they would not stop in-law, so although they did not say it explicitly, the principals of the two families knew in their hearts, either Wu Lang married the second daughter of his uncle, or Cui Shiqiao married Shi Niang.
And now, the grandfather's family did not say it in advance, and married on their own, which is the reason why Cui Shilin came to Xingyang in person, and it is also the reason why Aya is so angry.
Just in Pingcheng, the marriage between Hu and Han is the most common, after the second uncle went to Pingcheng, in addition to the eldest son and eldest daughter in the family, he still married with the old family gatekeeper, in addition, the children and grandchildren of the family mostly married with the Xianbei royal family or important ministers in the court, forming a staggered and intertwined interest relationship.
Zheng Jing held a few letterheads and newspapers, sighing in his heart, starting from his great-grandfather, his grandfather and uncle were guarding Xingyang, and he had been in a wait-and-see state, leading the false title, and Aya, who had never really come out, and no one for three generations had entered the three dukes, and the power was in charge of the center, which would inevitably mean the decline of the family.
Thinking of this, Zheng Jing can somewhat understand his grandfather's approach, as long as he and the Wulang brothers are there, the in-law relationship between the Zheng and Cui families is still there, and there is really no need to waste another marriage.
Zheng Jing stepped forward and knelt down at the lower position, "Ayadon't be angry, grandfather and uncle are also the trend of the times, under the interests, it is inevitable, why should Ayah care." ”
"Why bother?" Zheng Han chewed these words, "I never understood before, at the beginning of the year, how could the Cui family be so eager to send Wulang and Shi Niang back to the Zheng family, it turned out that it was because of this that they had already given up their plans to marry again." ”
When he said this, he suddenly sneered, and his eyes were full of indignation, "What do I have to worry about, if I want to be disappointed, I will be disappointed." ”
It is one thing for him not to want Shi Niang to marry into the Cui family, but it is another thing for the Cui family to break the contract like this.
Zheng Jing could guess what Aya was thinking, and his heart was uneasy for a while, "Uncle mentioned in the letter that the daughter of the Li family of Zhao County and the son of the cousin ....... ”
"Zheng Jing, our Langjun and lady of the Zheng family in Xingyang have never been worried about marrying. Zheng Han interrupted Zheng Jing's words with great annoyance, "In order not to break the contract, Wulang's marriage can be done according to their wishes, but Shi Niang's marriage is up to me to decide." Thinking that they not only broke the contract, but also pointed fingers at the marriage of Wulang and Shi Niang, Zheng Han was so angry that his heart twitched.
Zheng Jing was stunned for a moment, and soon came to his senses, and heard his father say: "I will repair a letter and take it to Pingcheng in the field, and the matter of Shi Niang and Ah Ji will be decided." ”
"I wouldn't agree. Zheng Jing understood Aya's thoughts the most, "Aya, Shi Niang can marry into any family of King Cuilu Li, but it can't be Ah Ji." ”
As he spoke, he got up and knelt down and bowed his head.
"What's wrong with Ah Ji, he is also the queen of the wang clan. Zheng Han looked coldly at Zheng Jing who was kneeling in the middle, and said angrily: "Ah Da, if you want to be the master of this family, you have to wait for me and my uncle to be in charge for a hundred years, otherwise, it will not be your turn to be the master. ”
Zheng Jing raised his head in shock, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he asked rhetorically for a while: "Then you have to agree with Shi Niang, Ah Ji's identity is unknown, how can he marry Shi Niang, once Ah Ji's identity is clear, Aya thinks that Shi Niang will still be willing to marry the enemy who harms his mother and brother?"
"You talk nonsense. Zheng Han seemed to be in pain, and suddenly his blood surged, grabbed the clogs in front of the couch and smashed them at Zheng Jing, Zheng Jing hurriedly dodged this time, the clogs brushed over his shoulders, and saw Zheng Han's face swollen red, stretched out his hand and pointed at Zheng Jing, and even scolded the erector son, who was probably angry, leaning on the hidden sac behind him, trembling so badly that he was even breathing.
When Zheng Jing saw it, a little guilt suddenly rose in his heart, and he hurriedly bowed his head and said: "My son is not filial." He stepped forward on his knees and stretched out his hand to help his father Zheng Han, but Zheng Han grabbed it, "Ah Da, it's not like this, it's not like this......"
He kept muttering, and looked at Zheng Jing's eyes glaring at the boss, as if waiting for Zheng Jing to nod.
Zheng Jing tilted his head slightly, glanced at it, and his voice was heavy, "Aya, when A-Niang died, I was eleven years old, and my memory is still fresh. ”
Zheng Han grabbed the hand of Zheng Jing's arm, suddenly let go, a sneer appeared on his face, and he whispered, "Do you remember, what do you remember?" Then he laughed, but his expression was like a trance, "Ah Da, you are the eldest son in the family, and maybe you will be the patriarch of the Zheng family in the future, and one day you will find that it is not everything, you can choose." ”
"But no matter what, I will not choose to give up on my son. Zheng Jing said this loudly.
It's just that this sentence is like a sharp sword piercing Zheng Han's heart, looking up at the eldest son kneeling in front of him, his expression is a little unfamiliar, his eyes are even more bloodshot, and he points to the door, "You get out of me, get out of now." ”
Zheng Jing only hesitated for a moment, "Retire." ”
got up and retreated, and as soon as the person left, Zheng Han's whole person seemed to have lost his strength, and he collapsed on the hidden sac, his hand caressed his chest, and his eyes were slightly closed.
