Chapter 142: Parting Words
Due to the postponement of the departure date, Zheng Jing and Zheng Wei have been very busy.
Only Zheng Sui, as usual, had almost nothing to do except pack his luggage, so on the days when he went out, Zheng Sui stayed in the Silent Garden to accompany Aya most of the time.
Two days before departure, Zheng Han met Jiuniang Zheng Qian and A Luo in the Silent Garden, the two did not come together, but one after the other, Zheng Han met them alone, Jiu Niang came first, and A Luo arrived later.
It's just that before Jiu Niang came, Zheng Chao sent Zheng Sui to the inner room.
Zheng Sui hesitated, thinking that Aya didn't send her back to look at the main garden, so he didn't want to avoid her, so he peeked behind the curtain.
When they were about to leave, Aya confessed a few words, but the last sentence to Jiuniang was: Jiuniang, you are Sister A, older than Xixi and Luo, after going to the south, you have to take on the responsibility of the eldest sister and take care of Xixi and Luo.
After Ah Luo ordered his teeth at home, he was called Eleven Niang, but he never had a name, this time Aya named Ah Luo Zheng Man, and instructed: Shi Niang likes you, and you have to remember Shi Niang's good in the future.
In these words, even if Zheng Sui hid behind the curtain and couldn't see Aya's face, only seeing Aya's back, he could feel the stern sΓΉ in Aya's words.
Ah Luo kowtowed his head and answered.
Finally, when Arrow left, Ayah handed Arrow the piece of paper with Arrow's name written on it.
After Ah Luo went out, Zheng Han leaned on the hidden sac behind him, turned his head and shouted, "Girl, don't come out yet." β
"Ayer. Zheng Sui walked out from behind the curtain and sat down next to Zheng Han, "Are you a little harsh with Ah Luo?" She has always been bold. He smiled and said, "Besides, I never said it." I love Arlo. β
Zheng Han patted Zheng Sui's hand indulgently, and said in a deep tone: "Jiu Niang is fifteen years old. Since childhood, he has a soft temperament, and now he has settled down, and there will be no big changes in the future, only Ah Luo, Ah Luo is seven years old, although he is pure and kind-hearted now, but you are going to the south, there are no elders around to teach, and Jiu Niang is not a person with ideas. It's really hard to predict what Ah Luo will become in the future, and it's also for her to be harsh with her now, so as not to know the height of the sky in the future. β
Zheng Sui hurriedly said: "Aye, don't worry, there is still me, I can teach Aluo." β
"It's you. Zheng Han couldn't help laughing, "You take care of yourself, and Aya will reward the gods with thanks." β
When Zheng Sui heard this, he opened his eyes and didn't follow. "Even though Jiuniang and I are not helpful, there are still female gentlemen and educated servants, and there are more than a dozen brothers and sisters in our family, but none of them are crooked. β
"Yes. It's not crooked. Zheng Han nodded hurriedly in agreement, and then asked, "I heard." Banniang has been going to look for you a lot lately?"
Zheng Sui snorted, "Because Jiu Niang and I are leaving." She is the only sister in the family. Some are reluctant, besides, Banniang is going to marry to Pingcheng, and in the future, it will be difficult for sisters to see each other, so they will take advantage of the current time to be together and talk more. β
Zheng Han didn't believe it, "Didn't you say anything else?"
He had heard his eldest brother Zheng Yuan regret that among the ladies of this generation in the family, Duba Niang was smart, and the rest of the people were inferior, because when the eldest brother said this, he was disapproving, and the eldest brother also scolded him for not being convinced, and said that Xixi was spoiled.
"Something else?" Zheng Sui was at a loss for a moment, and was about to shake his head to deny it, when he suddenly remembered something, and he didn't know if it counted, so he said: "Banniang only mentioned that Liuniang is in Jiankang, and after I go to the south, if I have leisure, I often go to Zhuge Mansion to see Liuniang, but I think that the Zhuge family was originally a relative, since my brother and I have passed, we must go to Zhuge Family, and when the time comes, we should also see Liuniang." β
When Zheng Han heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, but he still didn't forget to admonish, "Xixi, that's right, you want to go to Zhuge Family, also because Zhuge Family is your aunt's mother, and it is Azhi's foreign family, not because of Liuniang." After a pause, his tone was stricter, "You have to keep in mind that Liuniang married into the Zhuge family in the name of a concubine, even if she is a concubine, she is also a concubine, and she is not a serious relative." β
"I see. Speaking of which, Zheng Sui also doesn't like concubines and the like, which is deeply influenced by his grandmother and aunt.
In the past, Zheng Sui always thought that only elders like his grandmother and aunt would have endless things, just like before leaving Pingcheng, his grandmother took her by her side, and there seemed to be thousands of worries, and his grandfather and uncle only said one sentence: When you go home, you must be obedient.
I never thought that the role of my grandmother at the beginning has now been changed to Aya.
Every day, Aya told her again, and her sister-in-law would also tell her, although now, Zheng Sui did not feel bored, not to mention the concern of Aya and her sister-in-law, as the saying goes: It's good to be at home, but it's hard to go out for a day.
No matter how thorough the planning and arrangement, there are times when they are missing, such as when they returned to Xingyang from Pingcheng.
The customs clearance documents of the two countries have greeted each other along the way, which can not be described as inconsiderate, but in the end something happened.
And this time I went south, not even better than when I came back from Pingcheng, at that time, at least I went home, and this time, I had to go to Nandi to start from scratch.
Although the fourth uncle has been rooted in Nanchu for more than 40 years, but until now, he still has not entered the first-class family circle of Jiankang, of course, Zheng Sui doesn't know this, she just listened to what the fifth brother said.
Speaking of which, Aya is not worried about her going to the south, in fact, Zheng Sui is also not worried about Aye, the uncle is sick now, and he doesn't have so much energy to control Aye, and once she leaves, almost no one can persuade Aye, therefore, a few days ago, Zheng Sui also deliberately went to Guining Courtyard, begged Aunt Zu, and asked Aunt Zu to help persuade Aya one or two in the future, Aunt Zu also laughed at her at the time, and said: "You Aya are more than forty people, where do you not know what to do, now that you have grandchildren, how can you be as crazy as before." β
So, these days, when he often stays with Aye, Zheng Sui often persuades, "Aya should take care of his body, don't drink, don't stay up late, and don't take Wushisan anymore." β
Aya always shook her head and replied with a smile: "How can you have so much." β
Although this was the case, Zheng Sui looked at Aye's serious gaze, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, with a little pleasure, and he knew that Aya had listened.
Then, Aya would always say, "You have collected so many five stone scatters from me, but you have cheapened them." β
Zheng Suihui replied with a smile: "Then Aya will help me collect more, and later, I will write a letter to Aya from the south, Aya only needs to send me a large box of five stone scatter every time, I see so many five stone scatter, I know that I have not eaten these medicine stones, and I am relieved." β
Wushisan, except for only a few people in Pingcheng, in Zhongzhou and Nandi, there are many people who take it, and I heard the eldest brother say, especially in Nandi, so, this thing is very expensive, Zheng Sui only thought about taking it to Nandi, instead of throwing it away, at the beginning, because Uncle himself did not take Wushisan, and felt that after eating this thing, it was easy to confuse people's minds, so he did not allow the children in the family to take it, so he directly told the children of the family that Wushisan is poison/medicine.
In fact, Wushisan is not poisonous, and even a good medicine for blindly curing diseases, so that people's hearts are bright and cheerful, but after taking it, it should be dispersed in time, and it should not be overeaten.
As soon as he mentioned the box of five stones, Aya would look regretful, "How can this thing be so easy to obtain, your small wooden box, but it took two or three years to integrate, besides, this thing was still purchased by your Guo Shifu from the south, you brought it from here, but after a turn, it went back again." β
"Then Aya will not ask Guo Shifu for five stones in the future, Guo Shifu's health is not good like yours, before I leave, I still have to talk to Ah Jian about this. "Things gather by like, people by groups, there is Ah Jian looking at Guo Shifu, wine and Wushisan can probably quit, the more Zheng Sui thinks about it, the more he thinks this idea is good, but his head was suddenly patted.
Zheng Sui touched his head, and turned his head sideways to see Aya staring at her, "Don't go, it seems that your Guo Shifu is right, you and Ah Jian can't get together." β
"I'll go with my sister-in-law tomorrow. Zheng Sui muttered softly.
"I'm going to leave the day after tomorrow, so how can you have time to go out tomorrow. β
When Zheng Sui heard this, he hurriedly turned his head to look at Aya and asked, "What else is going on?"
Zheng Han looked at Zheng Sui in the past three years, people have grown taller and wider, and there is more and more of Ah Qi's shadow on his body, staring for a long time, and sighing in his heart, "Before going out, go to your mother's grave and put incense on the pillar, I have already instructed Da Lang, and I will take you with me tomorrow." β
As soon as he heard Aya mention this topic, his face was full of loneliness, and his eyebrows were full of depression, Zheng Sui's heart was also heavy for a while, since he came back, in Zheng Sui's opinion, whether it is Aya or the eldest brother, as long as A-Niang is mentioned, it will always be a heavy topic.
Maybe Aya and A-Niang are young couples, and when the love is deep, A-Niang passed away in the middle of the way, and Aya has regrets in her heart.
Maybe the eldest brother has a child's admiration for his mother, after all, after all, A-Niang died, the eldest brother was twelve years old, and he remembered things, not compared to her, and he had no impression of A-Niang.
But Zheng Sui faintly felt that in addition to these, there were others, she still remembered what the eldest brother and Aya said when they quarreled in the Silent Garden that year, about A-Niang's early death, about the second brother Zheng Lun, it is still a big mystery in her heart, but this kind of topic is too sensitive, and the eldest brother and Aya quarreled so fiercely that time, as well as the dark face of her grandmother back then, so that in the past three years, she didn't dare to mention it.
And now, she still doesn't dare to ask more.

April 18, it is suitable for travel and sacrifice.
When I got up early in the morning, the family told their ancestors to worship, and even my uncle, who had been sick in bed for a long time, stood up.
On this day, there is an affirmation of the orthodox status of the Great Chu in the south, a yearning for the prosperity and prosperity of the south, either for personal livelihood, or to preserve the strength of the family, or for the male son to make contributions, and so for the Zheng family, it is the last huge migration of clansmen, but this migration is just one of the hundreds of thousands of family migrations since Yongjia crossed to the south.
