Zheng Sui came out of the study in the east building, and heard the maidservant Wuyi say that Wurou was coming.

Went down to the east building, as soon as he entered the living room, Zheng Sui saw the fifth brother Zheng Wei sitting on the couch in the outer room, holding the desk with one hand, and supporting his forehead with the other hand, his face showed a rare solemn look, and he fell into contemplation.

Suddenly, a shallow smile appeared on his face.

"Brother. Zheng Sui almost thought he was dazzled, "I heard Wuyi say that my brother has been here for a while. ”

Zheng Wei hummed lightly, sat up straight, and stretched out his hand to pull Zheng Sui to sit down beside him, "Xixi, how is this Mr. Chen?" Because the female gentleman who taught Zheng Sui "Female Commandments" and rules and etiquette was too old-fashioned, Zheng Sui didn't like it, and recently, the sister-in-law has changed to a female gentleman.

"That's it. Zheng Sui sat down and grinned again, "It would be better if I didn't learn the "Female Commandment". ”

She even wanted to say that her grandmother had never forced her to learn before, but she mentioned it a few times, but her sister-in-law was reluctant to let go.

After listening to Zheng Sui's words, Zheng Wei smiled and persuaded: "Xixi, you just listen to your sister-in-law in this matter, before in Pingcheng because of the influence of Hu Feng, the atmosphere is open, and there are fewer restrictions on girls, now that you have come back, you should follow the rules of the family, you don't see Siniang come again on weekdays, and now they are serious about practicing rules and etiquette in Wanghua Garden, and I heard that Nandi is even more neat and tidy, and there are more constraints on girls." ”

"My sister is going to marry to the Southland, and I don't want to go to the Southland. ”

"So, Xixi doesn't want to go to the Southland?" Zheng Wei heard and turned his head to look at Zheng Sui.

"Why do you want to go to the Southland?" Zheng Sui asked puzzled, and paused, "Besides, Brother and sister-in-law Aye and the elder brothers and sisters in the family are all here, I want to get together with everyone, and when I came back last year, Brother Ah also told me that we are back to our own home." ”

Zheng Wei's face froze, and he touched Zheng Sui's head, "It's back to your own home, let's go, let's go to the Silent Garden for lunch, don't let Aya wait in a hurry." So saying, he wanted to get up.

"Brother, do you want to go to the Southland?" Zheng Sui suddenly grabbed the sleeve of the fifth brother, and looked at the fifth brother with round eyes, the fifth brother came over today, it was originally a little abnormal, and after saying these words, she couldn't help but have this question.

The fifth brother can't go back to Pingcheng, she knows that the fifth brother has been communicating with Xie Shangshu of Nanchu, and she knows that after the fifth brother was beaten last time, half of it was because of this incident, but in the end, it was not over, and this recruitment order, only the third brother in the family went to Pingcheng, and these piles of things add up, so she can't help but guess this.

Zheng Wei never hid anything from Zheng Sui, and this time it was the same, he had never mentioned it, because he didn't know where to start, and when he saw Zheng Sui asking, he readily admitted, "I really want to go to the south, Xixi, I'm fifteen years old, it's time to go out." ”

Men start a family, who doesn't want to be famous.

"Since Brother wants to go to the Southlands, I will go with Brother I. Zheng Sui did not hesitate at all.

Although it was expected, Zheng Wei still felt that his eyes were hot, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose a little, "Can Xixi be willing to give up Aya and sister-in-law?"

Sure enough, as soon as he heard this, Zheng Suiqing was a little depressed.

She has always liked to gather and not like to disperse, I can't wait for everyone to be together every day, and there is more hatred in this world, and there is not much in the end, the fate between people, except for the birth, old age, sickness and death, more than ten years, less than three or five years, in the end, it is to be separated, and no one can keep anyone for a lifetime.

After a long time, I heard Zheng Sui pursed his lips and said, "I will often think about Aya and Sister-in-law." "It's like she thinks about her grandmother, grandfather, aunt and cousin who are far away in Heicheng, and many people in Heicheng.

"Hee-hee, Aya will be reluctant to give you up. Zheng Wei looked at Zheng Sui's gaze, a little more stern, and even his tone became solemn, "You stay with Aye for a few more years, and after a few years, after Brother Ao settles down in Nanchu, he will come back to pick you up." ”

Zheng Sui hurriedly called Brother A, his expression changed greatly, he opened his mouth, only to feel that his lips were a little dry, pulled Zheng Wei's hand on his sleeve, and unconsciously tightened it hard, "Brother won't take me with you?"

I couldn't believe it, my eyes were wide open, Zheng Sui was full of disbelief, and I just looked forward to Zheng Wei shaking his head.

Zheng Wei also shook his head, Zheng Sui's nervous expression instantly relaxed, and his voice was extremely cheerful, "I knew that Brother would not leave me." ”

"I don't want to leave Xixi behind. Zheng Wei smiled, a little more bitter.

Zheng Sui ignored it and only asked, "Brother, when are you going to the Southland?"

"It's not decided yet, but there are a lot of things at home this year, so it's impossible. Zheng Wei decided not to talk about it anymore, and when he saw Zheng Sui's face change drastically, he had to retract his words in time.

Zheng Wei took Zheng Sui's hand and went to the Silent Garden.

Although Zheng Wei did not mention this matter for a period of time after that, however, this matter still took root in Zheng Sui's heart, so that she could not ignore it, and because she thought that she was going to go to the south with her fifth brother Zheng Wei, and she would not be able to fulfill her filial piety to Aya in the future, Zheng Sui went to Shoujing Garden to accompany Aya more and more time, of course, this is a later story.

――*――*――

Siniang Zheng Fan's wedding was held in September.

In the crisp autumn season, because the marriage was held in Xingyang, Zong Kan and the relatives of the Zong clan rushed to Xingyang in advance, and all of them were placed in a separate courtyard of the Zheng family, which had begun to be arranged half a year ago.

This time, when Zong Kan came to the house, Zheng Han saw him, and he didn't know how much hard work Zong Kan had put in this year.

Zheng Jing watched from the side, remembering that when Zong Kan first came last year, Aya closed the door and disappeared, and later looked at Ruan Shifu's face, let Zong Kan enter the door, at that time Aya was sorting out the scriptures, I heard that Zong Kan admired Ruan Shifu's words, so he casually asked Zong Kan to come to a painting of Ruan Shifu's book "Liangjing Fu", Zong Kan was full of a few pages, but when Aya saw the pen, he couldn't wait to take a broom to sweep Zong Kan out of the door.

Fortunately, Siniang likes poetry books, Zheng Han still gave Siniang a set of "Book of Songs" and "Ram Biography" annotated by himself as a dowry, and he can only hope for the next generation, he doesn't want his future grandson to not understand poetry and books.

That way, it won't make the world laugh.

Out of the door of the Shoujing Garden, Zheng Jing smiled at Zong Kan and said, "You changed this outfit, but Aya looked at it with joy." ”

At first, when he first saw Zong Kan, he almost couldn't recognize it, the beard on his face was gone, the original dark skin was covered with a layer of white powder, his thick eyebrows were trimmed, and he was dressed as a scholar with a crown and a Bo, so to speak, the whole person was completely changed.

"This is still my uncle's trick for me. Zong Kan smiled bitterly.

He originally thought that the long coat was in the way, but his future father-in-law liked scribes, and although he was extremely uncomfortable wearing them, he could only make it difficult for him.

It can't, a dignified man, make a set of clothes difficult.

Zheng Jing accompanied Zong Kan back to the other courtyard, Zong Kan freshened up, and the two sat down and talked together.

I only heard Zong Kan ask, "Do you have any news from Ah Ping's side recently?"

"I also received a letter from him half a year ago, and now he is in the fiefdom Luling, and looking at it, life should be quite comfortable. As he spoke, he glanced up at Zong Kan and asked, "Do you have any other news?"

"I heard that not long ago Xiangzhou assassin Shi Wen Jun rebellion, half a month ago, has captured Linxiang City, Xiangdong King Xiao Zhang privately fled back to Jiankang, Wen Jun has occupied Xiangzhou. ”

Zheng Jing was taken aback, "Who did you listen to, how could such a big thing not have a little news spread for so long." Zheng Jing deeply doubted that the recent Nandi Di newspaper had never mentioned this matter.

"There was a guest in my family in the past, who served as a captain in Linxiang City, I heard that after Wen Jun occupied Xiangzhou, he did not attack elsewhere, so this matter made Jiankang quietly suppressed, you also know that the army in the south is concentrated in Jingyang and Yangzhou, and Yangzhou is Xu Huaiyang military to prevent Shijiao from going south, and Jingzhou is resting, how can the Jiankang court have extra troops to go to Xiangzhou to suppress, besides, Su Jun has been in Xiangzhou for six years. ”

In this way, as long as Wen Jun does not claim to be the king and does not expand the situation, the Jiankang court will open one eye and close one eye. ”

"Nowadays, Jiankang also has a weak heart. Zong Kan said, and lowered his voice again, "Although I estimate that Ah Ping should know, but since I got the news, I still sent a letter to Ah Ping, just to see if he can seize the opportunity." ”

"In the past 30 years, Nandi has been relatively stable, Han Geng has been able to defend Jingzhou, and he can't provoke any trouble. "Since Han Geng took over Jingzhou, there have only been two small upheavals, and they were quickly suppressed.

"It's not a problem. Zong Kan nodded, "But if you can't sit firmly, let's say otherwise, Jingzhou has always been hot, and in the Southern Chu Dynasty, so many families are staring at it tightly, Han Geng is from a poor family, I don't know how many people want to take him down." ”

Zheng Jing didn't believe it, Han Geng was a cold Confucian, and he could be a general out of the town, but it was not easy, "Han Geng has been running Jiangxia for 16 years, and it was Emperor Chu who supported him, and it was not so easy to catch up, besides, Jingzhou is now completely under his control." ”

Jingzhou's army, accounting for one-half of the strength of Southern Chu, can be described as powerful.

This is too early, the Huan family has been running Jingzhou for more than 30 years, and Han Geng has completely mastered it, and it takes three or five years to work hard, to say the least. Zong Kan looked at Zheng Jing and said in a firm tone: "If I expected it right, the two small turmoil this year must be Ah Ping's handiwork, Han Geng needs time now, but Ah Ping is now imminent, and he can't afford to delay for a moment." ”

"Unless there is a big turmoil, it will not be so easy for Ah Ping to regain the Jingzhou power. Zheng Jing has always believed that the main predicament of Huan Yu at present is that Emperor Chu and the entire Jiankang court were wary of Huan Yu because of Huan Yu's father's affairs and suppressed them badly.

"Then it depends on whether Ah Ping can expand the situation of Wen Jun's occupation of Xiangzhou. After Zong Kan finished speaking, he sighed again, "My father is the uncle of Kyushu, I don't believe it, Ah Ping is really willing to guard the title of Duke of Luling County, and he doesn't do anything." ”

In this regard, Zheng Jing naturally knows Huan Yu very well and strongly agrees with this point of view.

However, half a month later, the news that came also proved that Huan Yu really did not disappoint Zong Kan and Zheng Jing. RS
