Chapter 179: The Divine Decree

Wen Weng watched Huan Yu leave, and after thinking about it, he turned around and went back to Jinhuaxuan.

It's just that as soon as he arrived at Jinhuaxuan, he asked the servant woman in the Xuan to tell him: Xiaolang was not in Jinhuaxuan, and had just gone to the inner courtyard.

Go to the inner courtyard?

Wen Weng's first thought was that Shiro went to find Jiuniang, just for a moment, but he shook his head again, it should be to Shi Niang Zheng Sui, and remembered that Yuan Liulang was still there in the guest house, and Huan Yu left directly like this, without even mentioning it, Wen Weng was very sure that Yuan Liulang came over yesterday, and it must have been Huan Yu who specially brought Yuan Liulang over, not occasionally.

There are such coincidences in the world.

It's just that I'm afraid that Shiro Zheng Jun doesn't want to see Yuan Liulang alone, thinking of this, Wen Weng turned around and walked towards the guest house, Shiro Zheng Jun didn't go, so he went to meet Liulang, what's the matter, just put his hand away after saying it, if he always ignores it like this, everyone is holding back a muffled voice, and they don't get it but have a grudge.

There is a saying, it is called: If you don't get married, you become enemies.

——*——*——

Let's say that Zheng Sui, in the middle hall, watched Huan Yu and Shiro have a dispute, and was very uneasy, wanting to persuade a few words, but he also knew that it was not his daughter's family who should interject, and later, seeing Shiro let her and Jiu Niang and Eleven Niang leave, Zheng Sui did not leave immediately, but after going out, he returned to hide in the dark room next to the middle hall to peek, not wanting to end up in that way.

After Huan Yu left, she also secretly returned to her yard.

It's just that as soon as the front foot entered the house, a maid came in to report on the back foot, and the fourth brother Zheng Jun came over.

Zheng Sui was taken aback. I have to think that Fang Cai's small actions made Shiro find out, in fact. Speaking of which, it is not surprising that she thinks so, since Zheng Sui and they moved over, except for the days when they were sick in bed, Shiro came to his courtyard very much, and similarly, Jiuniang and Eleven Niang's house. I heard that in addition to when he first moved in, Shiro went in and took a look, and then. I never went in again.

Zheng Sui had to hurry up and let Cai Fu and Xin Yi put on clothes for him, and then go out to see Shiro outside.

"Brother is here. Zheng Sui stepped forward and said lightly.

Zheng Jun nodded and hummed lightly, "Shi Niang, sit down." ”

Zheng Sui bowed slightly. Fang sat down at the head of Zheng Jun.

Just sit down. I heard Zheng Jun say again: "My body is better today, can I drink it?"

"It's no big deal, today's medicine, Ah Yu just brought it, but she just ate breakfast and wanted to wait until she ate it before drinking. ”

Zheng Jun looked at Zheng Sui's pointed chin, and his height seemed to be drawn, and he looked more and more slender. is similar to a long standing bamboo pole, and it is no wonder that Huan Yu first met Zheng Sui. So surprised, compared to four years ago, they are really two completely different people.

Although he hasn't asked what Wen Weng said to Huan Yu last night, there is one thing, Zheng Jun can be sure, Huan Yu looked at Zheng Sui's gaze, just the elder brother looked at his sister, and there was no evil thoughts about men and women, presumably Wen Weng should have talked very smoothly.

It's just that I didn't expect that in the end, Huan Yu would make such a rude request.

Zheng Jun vetoed it as a matter of course, but because Zheng Sui was present at the time, Huan Yu said in the end, in the end, he had saved Zheng Sui's life, and when he spoke, he carried the eldest brother out again, Zheng Jun was afraid that Zheng Sui would feel uncomfortable, so he came over to take a look.

I want to say a few words to Zheng Sui.

I hope Zheng Sui can agree with her approach.

This was the main motivation for him to come.

"Fang Cai ......" Zheng Jun said two words, looking up at Zheng Sui, "What I said just now is also for Shi Niang, Shi Niang is now fourteen years old, not as good as before, I do this, but it is to obey the ceremony...... If he really cares, he can say it in front of me, and I will not object,......... It's ...... for me to do that."

Looking at Shiro Zheng Jun, when he said this, he was very worried, Zheng Sui sighed slightly in his heart, and still opened his mouth busily, "Xixi knows that Brother is doing this for Xixi's good, and a woman's reputation has always been very important, Brother also said that Yiqiē is just to abide by the etiquette law, if the eldest brother is here today, Xixi believes that the eldest brother's approach will be the same as that of the elder brother." ”

"Okay, if only you could understand. Zheng Jun said busily, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zheng Sui smiled back, hoping that this would relieve the tension in Zheng Jun's heart, and he guessed that the reason why Zheng Jun came here, although she was somewhat powerless in her heart, she was powerless to change.

This is why, among the brothers and sisters in the family, she is most afraid of the eldest brother, because when the eldest brother reprimands her, he is always so righteous, and when he has any requirements for her, he is always so natural.

only listened to Zheng Sui, "Brother went to the Qinhuai River yesterday to participate in the poetry club, can you still be smooth?"

"This kind of activity, when I was in Xingyang, I often went over, and I didn't keep it with Ah Weng and Uncle Fu to see the form, get familiar with it, and be rigorous, it was not as good as the poetry meeting held by our people in Xingyang. Speaking of this, the corners of Zheng Jun's mouth turned up slightly, with a little smugness.

"After learning, I can't help Brother Brother, as for Ah Weng and Uncle Fu, I'm afraid it's also limited, the scribes over there in the East Courtyard, the things made, more are in accordance with the rules, it is difficult to come up with new ideas, I remember Uncle once said, if you talk about the article, the artistic conception is the first element, the words can be piled up, but sigh that the aura is rare, Brother can often go to discuss with Uncle Eighteen. "Although Uncle Eighteen has a bad temperament and has no opinions, he is not bad at learning in the end.

Thinking of this, Zheng Sui suddenly remembered another person, so he said: "I heard Ah Weng say that a while ago, Wang Shishilang often came to the mansion, although he was not very old, but he traveled all over the south, and the fifth brother had praised this person, and the elder brother could also discuss more with him to broaden his knowledge." ”

Although Zheng Jun heard Zheng Sui's words, he was suspicious at first, and then listened to Zheng Sui's explanation, he was relieved for a while, and hurriedly said: "I have this intention, and thank you Shi Niang for mentioning it." ”

"I'm just picking people's teeth, but I can't afford that. Zheng Sui's previous words were also half true and half false, yesterday in Qingfeng Temple, I listened to Wang Shishilang's experience of traveling to Bashu, and listened to him. This year he planned to go to Cochin, only to find out that it turned out that the entire Southland. He's been to almost all of them.

As for the words of the fifth brother, it is just to avoid the suspicion of the fourth brother.

When Zheng Jun entered the house, he smelled a burst of fragrance, and he remembered that there was almost no incense in Zheng Sui's house, so he sat down. After searching for a long time, he found that he was sitting on the museum shelf to the right of the couch. There is a pair of blue-glazed porcelain plum branches, and two or three plum blossoms are inserted in the flowers, the color is red, but it is very delicate and lovely.

I also thought that there were no plum trees in my big mansion. I remembered what Jiu Niang had said. Shi Niang liked the plum, so she asked: "Shi Niang, these plum blossoms, but I went to Qingfeng yesterday to see it?" There is an old plum tree in Qingfeng View, but the master of the temple does not allow people to break and pick.

"Well, it was given by the Guanli people when I was leaving. ”

I only heard Zheng Jun say: "Shi Niang likes plum blossoms, after the spring, let's decorate this house." You can transplant a few plants in the back garden, and it's time for tomorrow. You can see the plum blossoms in a row. ”

Zheng Sui nodded hurriedly, "That's great, I was also about to tell my brother about it, in our garden, there are so many flowers and trees in all seasons, but there is a lack of plum blossoms." ”

About the atmosphere gradually became harmonious, Zheng Jun sat for a while, and the brother and sister gossiped for a while before Zheng Jun got up and left.

After sending Zheng Jun out, several maidservants in the house put away the couch, Zheng Sui turned back to the house, and sat on the bed with the service of Cai Fu, and then asked Liu Yuan to bring the medicine.

Zheng Sui drank the medicine and rinsed his mouth, until after washing his hands, Cai Fu wiped Zheng Sui's hands and said: "Look, the little lady's spirit today is better than yesterday, and she has just talked to Shiro for so long, when she heard that Shiro came, the maid was still worried, but she was afraid that if she couldn't say a few words, she would have to be cold, and she didn't want to talk for so long." ”

"Are you also worried?" Zheng Sui glanced sideways at Cai Fu, and muttered to himself: "Don't say it's you, even I'm worried, when I was with my eldest brother, I had big eyes and small eyes, and in the end, the eldest brother was like a gentleman who read the scriptures and righteousness class, and I only nodded my head." Speaking of which, every time she met her eldest brother, she felt uncomfortable and wanted to avoid it.

"But the little lady and Shiro are very good today. ”

Zheng Sui nodded, "It's very good." Saying that, he got up, "I'll go to the cubicle to practice calligraphy, and I'll have Xin Yi and Baicao by my side." ”

Some things, figured it out, that's it.

Although the fifth brother Zheng Wei, in her heart, no one can replace her, but in the end, Shiro is also his brother, and there are still two years to go, not long, but definitely not short, both destined to get along under one roof, why not everyone get along well, Shiro must have always held such thoughts.

When Zheng Sui walked into the cubicle, when she came back yesterday, she originally wanted to draw an old plum map, but then she thought about it, and she wanted to draw a picture of the whole city of Jiankang, and she felt that the whole city map shrouded in snow yesterday was too lonely, as if after the prosperity, the people were lonely after the end of the song.

Therefore, I don't want to paint anymore.

It's just that she didn't expect that she had something to do with such a scene, and if a few years later, she would still draw such a snow scene.

And the appearance of Jiankang City at first sight and the appearance of Jiankang City when he saw it last time was amazingly similar, which made Zheng Sui have to believe it, as if everything was doomed.

It's just that at that time, it has been 50 years, and it has been reversed.

Who knows how many years it will be.

——*——*——

On the way back to Jinhuaxuan from the inner courtyard, Zheng Jun was in a good mood, and he was also very happy and relaxed.

It's as if the long-term efforts have finally paid off handsomely.

If you can get along like this, it is a good thing for everyone, Shi Niang respects him as a brother, and he protects Shi Niang's sister.

It's just that Zheng Jun didn't know that when he returned to Jinhuaxuan, there was still good news waiting for him.

Let's say that as soon as he returned to Jinhuaxuan, he saw Wen Weng going back and forth outside, as if waiting for him to come back, "What did Ah Weng come from?"

"After sending Uncle Huan out, I came over and saw that Shiro had gone to the inner courtyard, so I left first and went to the guest courtyard. So he told Wen Weng about the guest house.

"Really?" Zheng Jun's true contains two layers of one meaning, one is that Huan Yu didn't take the excuse of refusing marriage for Zheng Sui at all, and the other meaning is that Yuan Xun has asked Wen Weng to send Zheng Mansion away.

Wen Weng nodded, and said: "In the future, Yuan Liulang will come again, and Shilang will only be entertained as an ordinary friend, as for Jiuniang's marriage." I'm afraid that Rokuro won't dare to really mention it to Shiro for the time being, after all, now. He can't be the master yet. ”

Zheng Jun hurriedly agreed, "This is natural, as long as he no longer thinks about Jiuniang." "As for Shi Niang's matter, it's really proper to do this." ”

"Of course, no one squeaked. How can others ask? ”

"That's what I listened to. ”

Wen Weng's heart moved, he looked up at Zheng Jun in front of him, and said in his heart that he was not pleased. That's a lie, it's just that this relief didn't turn the impulse into an impulse in the end, but let him hold down the impulse in time.

The road knows the horsepower. It has been a long time to see people's hearts.

Think about it. In a few days, perhaps, if Zheng Jun is still like this, then, last night, Huan Yu mentioned to him about Wulang, and he told Pan, but for now. Let him keep this selfishness for a while.

After all, since the Han Dynasty. The rule of law with Confucian etiquette is the rule of law, paying attention to the relationship between father and son, and the order of the young and the young, but the tragedy of the concubines fighting each other and fratricidal brothers has never been staged.

How much is right and wrong when there are competing interests?

——*——*——

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the east market and the big market, as well as the royal road in front of the palace, the lights are bright, extremely lively, Zheng Jun took Zheng Sui, Zheng Qian and Zheng Man to ride the ox cart, went to wander around, and came back very early.

A qiē is very smooth.

After that, it was the tenth day of February, Jiu Niang's sixteenth birthday, and then February 18, the Wang family's flower god festival.

The three girls of the Zheng family, plus Shiro Zheng Jun, all received the post, and then, it was the long-awaited Flower God Festival that Zheng Jun had been looking forward to, but Zheng Jun would rather not receive the post, and would rather not take Zheng Sui and the three of them to participate.

It is said that on the day of the Flower God Festival, because Zheng Sui and the three of them are not out of the cabinet, Zheng Jun wanted to find an elder to accompany the three of them to the Flower God Society, Zheng Jun was originally going to eighteen from the aunt Cui's, but after Cui's came to Beijing, he rarely went out to fundraise, worried that he was not familiar with the rules of Jiankang, and it happened that at this time, Jinlang's daughter-in-law Zhuge Shi volunteered, saying that when she was a little lady at home, she was fortunate to go to the Wang family's Flower God Meeting, and she was very familiar with the Flower God Society.

Hearing his words, Zheng Jun hesitated, but for the time being, there was indeed no suitable candidate, thinking that she was well-intentioned, and it was not easy to refute, so he asked Zhuge to take the three little ladies to participate in the Flower God Meeting.

The party of the girl and the little man was separated, in different gardens.

The next day passed, Zheng Jun first went to the garden of the girl with Zhuge and Zheng Sui, and really asked Zhuge a few words, and then, he took Jinlang 21 from his uncle to meet Xiaolang's garden.

Although the women of the south, although they are not as strong as those in the north, there are still very few people who wear hats to go out to the banquet.

After Zheng Sui entered the garden, he also saw it, so when Zhuge asked Jiuniang Zheng Qian to take off the hat, Zheng Sui did not object, besides, she has always known Jiuniang's Zheng Qian's habits, and she has long been accustomed to bowing her head and holding her chest, asking her to raise her head, it is not simple to look directly at people, and a few familiar people in the family are just a few familiar people, if you meet an unfamiliar person, in addition to panicking, Zheng Qian does not dare to raise her head to look at people, not to mention, in front of her forehead, the long flowing sea has covered the front of the face.

If you don't look carefully, you really can't see Jiuniang Zheng Qian's appearance.

It is precisely because of this that when Zhuge saw Zheng Qian's appearance of taking off his hat, he couldn't help frowning, and wanted to comb the flowing sea in front of Zheng Qian, and pull up the hair in the back, revealing a long strong neck.

Although the Flower God Club is a venue for women to discuss poetry, in fact, it is a blind date meeting in disguise.

I heard that Lang Junyuan's side is similar.

Zheng Sui thought about Jiuniang Zheng Qian's rough marriage, and now she is sixteen years old, almost exceeding the marriage age of a woman in the south, so although she doesn't like Zhuge Clan, plus, and Shilang's instructions, this time she very much agrees with Zhuge Clan's words, so under Jiuniang's shy and timid appearance, she dressed up Jiuniang again.

People in the world are good colors, especially in contemporary times.

There is no doubt that there is no accident, Jiu Niang's appearance is destined to dominate the audience, probably no one has reached the Zheng family Jiu Niang, or such a beautiful beauty, and even compared the original Jiankang No. 1 beauty.

A gorgeous banquet that ended in magnificence.

Even when he went home, Zheng Jun talked to Wen Weng about the few Xiaolang he had newly met at the banquet, and he intended to pay attention to Jiu Niang, but he didn't notice Jinlang's somewhat strange face.

Just when Zheng Jun received someone sent by the Wang family to let Zheng Jun participate in the March 3rd Shangsi Festival and the repair festival of the Huiji Lanting Festival, it was also on the same day, an edict for marriage. It was also sent to Zheng's mansion.

"Zheng's Jiuniang, the old family, the star of the famous family. She has a beautiful appearance, both talent and virtue, and can be a daughter-in-law, with the sixteenth prince Xiao Zhang, the king of Xiangdong County, and she will get married on a certain day......"

Before the incense case was smoked, until the secretary Lang had left, Zheng Jun was still in a daze. Didn't shake my head.

The sixteenth prince, Xiao Zhang, the king of Xiangdong County, is the one who has been in Xiangzhou for three years. In the end, it provoked the people of Xiangzhou to revolt and fled back to Jiankang's straw bales.

Zheng Jun would rather not believe it, but he had read the edict ten times. The content has not changed in the slightest.

"Xiaolang. Let's go back first. Wen Weng stepped forward to help Zheng Jun.

Zheng Jun was stunned and glanced at Wen Weng, "Ah Weng, this is not true. ”

"Xiaolang," Wen Weng called, his tone softened again, "if there is anything to say, let's go back to the house." ”

Zheng Jun nodded and got up, until this moment. He also felt as if one foot was in the air, unable to land. Step on the ground.

In addition to Wen Weng Fu Zhubo in the house, there are also eighteen Lang Jun, twenty-one Lang Jun, and Jin Lang are all there.

Zheng Jun still held the edict in his hand, and sat down next to Eighteen Langjun.

The room was silent, probably because of Zheng Jun's face, no one dared to speak first, and no one wanted to break the silence first.

In the end, about eighteen Lang Jun, he finally realized that he was an elder, and he was the highest in this group of people, so he coughed lightly and opened his mouth, "What is going on here, why didn't you even have any news beforehand?"

Under the guidance of this sentence, Zheng Jun's thoughts gradually returned, thinking about the abnormality, if there was any accident, it was only the Flower God Festival on February 18, and there was nothing else.

It's just that before he spoke, Jinlang next to him didn't seem to be able to hold back, and hurriedly opened his mouth, "Because of the Wang family's flower god meeting, Jiuniang's fame, in the past ten years, it has already spread all over Jiankang's wealthy families, and even in the streets and alleys, almost everyone knows about it. ”

Zheng Jun looked at Zheng Jin's mouth one by one, and wanted to immediately reach out and smash the holy decree in his hand to seal Zheng Jin's mouth, but Zheng Jun didn't, but looked at Wen Weng and Fu Zhubo who were around him, "What do you two think?"

It's just that before Wen Weng and Master Fu opened their mouths, Twenty-one Langjun got up first, "I won't say anything else, just remind my nephew, the holy decree gives marriage, if the holy decree is given, there has never been a precedent for refusing marriage, and in the more than 100 years in the south, he has been as prominent as Wang Xie, and there has never been one." ”

Looking at the decadence at Zheng Jun's glance, Twenty-one Langjun remembered Aya at home, if this holy decree was received by Aye, Aya was afraid that he would be so happy that he could not find the east, west, north and south, if Aya was here, then there would be a frustration on Zheng Jun's face, and he would have notified the family a long time ago and set off firecrackers.

This is probably what is often said, what you want, but you can't get it, and what you don't want is delivered to your eyes.

The twenty-first Langjun saluted the eighteenth Langjun, and then withdrew first, and he took Jinlang with him.

And the eighteenth Langjun next to him rubbed his hands, looked at Zheng Jun and said: "Jun Lang, Uncle is familiar with the history of a hundred schools, such a thing, I have never encountered such a precedent, I can refuse the royal marriage, unless it is Wang Xie Xianhe, who is in the center of power, or you can try it hard." ”

Zheng Jun's mind came to his senses from the shock, listened to the twenty-first Langjun, and listened to the eighteenth Langjun, the central meaning, there is probably only one, this marriage, there is no room for maneuver, only Zheng Jun said lightly: "I know what to do, I won't let Uncle worry about it." ”

"Uncle also believes that Jun Lang is measured, for specific details, Jun Lang will discuss it with the staff in the house, the princess, Jiuniang is not the first case, the second uncle is in Pingcheng, and he often marries with the Xianbei royal family, which can be regarded as traceable. ”

"Ah Sheng knows that Uncle must have something to do, so go back first. Zheng Jun said lightly.

Hearing this, Zheng Shibalangjun, who originally wanted to leave, felt that it was not good to leave, so he simply stayed.

However, Shiro Zheng Jun did not say anything more and let him leave.

Wen Weng took the holy decree from Zheng Jun's hand, read it again, and finally closed it.

And Fu Zhubo, who was next to him, sighed in this matter, "The holy decree has been issued, and there is indeed no precedent for refusing marriage, but if we are familiar with this matter and know about it in advance, there may be room for maneuver before the holy decree is made." ”

"No, no. Zheng Junlian muttered a few words, but then turned his head and looked at Master Fu and Master Wen beside him, "Uncle Fu, Ah Weng, if Xie Shangshu knew about this matter as soon as possible, or Wang Shishilang knew about it, even if he didn't clearly inform us, he would have revealed it to us in advance, and it was impossible to have no news until this moment." (To be continued......)
