Chapter 167: Nothing is Virtue
"If the little lady wants to manage the affairs of the brother and sister, is it not very suitable, listen to the tone of the little girl, the step family should be a local family, and the uncle of the brother and sister agrees, as the saying goes, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, we are just passing by in this place, it is not good to interfere with it, even if we help each other, we can only help for a while, after all, the pair of brothers and sisters are going to live here for a long time, not to mention, it is not convenient for the little lady to come forward now. ”
"I didn't say anything, but you did say a box. Zheng Sui glanced at Cai Fu.
"The maid is just to remind the little lady. In Caifu's tone, there was still a bit of solemnity.
Zheng Sui didn't even give her head back, let alone squeak, although she was too long-winded, but for Cai Fu's words, she still listened to it, believed it a little, not to mention anything else, now she is really inconvenient to make a move, if this is in Pingcheng, she can secretly take her uncle's name thorn in private, and find the door directly, similarly, in Xingyang, she can take Aya's name thorn, of course, the eldest brother's name thorn is more effective in Xingyang, but she doesn't dare to take it.
Now, there is no such convenience, I heard that the twenty-one uncle, there is an idle position on the body, as for Jinlang, he has not yet come out, and he has no official position, not to mention, even if he is out, she can't get the famous thorn, and she doesn't want to take it, and I don't know if the name of the Zheng family in Xingyang alone will work, if the fifth brother is here, the name of the fifth brother can also bluff people, especially by the literati and scholars, and the love of people who like to climb and attach elegance.
As soon as he thought of this, his heart suddenly darkened, and he couldn't lift his energy, and even half of the momentum that had just risen disappeared.
Cai Fu could detect Zheng Sui's subtle changes, and saw that Zheng Sui suddenly lost his spirit. But the heart is full of twists and turns, and I can't talk about regrets, but I am a little tangled. Maybe it's also great to let Zheng Sui have something to do and divert his mind, at least he can reduce his concern for Wulang, so that Zheng Sui has no choice but to indulge in it.
It's just that this time, but I don't know what to say.
Suddenly, I heard Zheng Sui ask, "Sister, do you think the brother and sister will come again?"
"I don't know that. Maybe they're willing to sell books. ”
Although that little lang looked a little smart, Cai Fu thought about this era. Books are extremely expensive, looking at the clothes of the brother and sister, life should be very poor, and it is the people who are smart. It's often a little more active. If it is a little lady from a real family, it will be more out of fame considerations, and will not do such a hurtful and elegant thing as selling books, which is easy to cause criticism, but for the brother and sister, what is more important for them is to focus on the livelihood in front of them.
"No, they don't sell books. Zheng Sui shook his head again and again. Holding a book in his hand, he added another sentence in his heart. Aya once said that even if the people of the Zheng family were really poor, they would not sell books.
Presumably, the book was left by the brother and sister.
I only listened to Cai Fu said: "The little lady said no, presumably not, if so, they will probably come here again, but I don't know when they will come? ”
Zheng Sui's face froze, and he looked at Cai Fu again, "What I asked you to pass on, did you really tell them?"
Cai Fu hurriedly said: "Of course, when the servant chased over, they just went out of the side door. "Actually, the words that Zheng Sui asked her to pass in the past were very simple, just one sentence in a single room: My little lady's surname is Zheng, and she also has a piece of such a jade pendant.
But Cai Fu just believes that according to that Xiaolang's spiritual brain, when there is really no way, he will definitely come back.
Cai Fu suddenly said again: "Why don't you send a few people out to inquire about that Xiaolang's situation?"
"I thought about it, no, it's not too late to wait for him to come and ask him. ”
——*——*——
As Zheng Sui and Cai Fu expected, it should be said that it was earlier than the two of them expected.
Because Caifu deliberately left someone at the gate, just after serving Zheng Sui and finishing lunch, before he had a lunch break, someone at the door came to spread the word, saying that the little man in the morning had come.
At that time, Jinlang and his party went to Gantang Lake and had not yet returned.
"The book you're talking about is "The Biography of the Zuo Clan in the Spring and Autumn Period". Zheng Sui looked at the young man standing in front of him, and his tone was full of determination.
Sure enough, just looking at the young man's face with a little surprise, Zheng Sui did not explain, but glanced at Xin Yi next to him, Xin Yi turned around and opened a small cabinet, took a book out of it, and stepped forward to hand it to the young man.
This book, the ancestors of the Zheng family have annotated it, and then all the descendants of the Zheng family, it can be said that everyone has a copy, including the annotations inside, and the one in her cage is still copied by Aya herself.
Xiao Lang took the book, flipped through a few sheets, and suddenly became a little panicked, his lips trembled terribly, and it took a long time to find his voice, staring at Zheng Sui with dark eyes, and asked, "So...... In this way, I, Aye, am really a member of the Zheng family in Xingyang. There was even a bit of irrepressible trembling in his voice.
In the world, there are Cui Lu Li Zheng Wang in the north, Wang Xie Huanyu in the south, and Gu Lu Zhu Zhang in the aborigines.
These are not only famous surnames, representing the world's first-class high-ranking families, but also academic and cultural symbols, mastering the world's scriptures and thoughts.
Just like the meaning of Huaxia in general, the beauty of uniforms, called Hua, the great etiquette, so called Xia, Huaxia is the state of etiquette wearing gorgeous clothes.
The same is true of the surname of Gaomen, which is not only characterized by high-ranking officials and Houlu, but also distinguished from other surnames by its family education and etiquette.
It is precisely because of this that it is respected by the world, the mountains look up, and the scenery stops.
Therefore, at this time, it is no wonder that Xiaolang in front of him is so helpless and nervous.
Zheng Sui ordered Xin Yi to prepare a couch, helped the little lang to kneel and sit down, and waited for the little lang's love to slow down, and then said lightly: "Since the former Han Dynasty, there are a total of thirteen families who have commented on the "Spring and Autumn Zuo Biography", presumably you have also read the book in your family, which is the same as mine. ”
"That book was written to me by my father a year before he died, when he was sick in bed, so that I could pass it on to future generations. At this point, the young man's eyes turned red.
"What's your name?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, probably still immersed in the pain of missing his relatives, and he couldn't turn around for a long time, before he looked at Zheng Sui and replied: "The single name that Aya took for a certain person is a commandment, but the family is embarrassed, so they give up this name, and usually only call Wailang." ”
Commandment, there is a warning and admonition, "Hou Han Shu" has a sentence: the front car is over, the rear car is admonished.
The commandment is the generation of words, and the same generation as A, so that the Aya in the mouth of the wailang is one of her brothers.
"Who else is in your family?"
Wai Lang's face stiffened slightly, as if there was something unspeakable.
Zheng Sui didn't urge, if she didn't want to tell her, she wouldn't ask again, as long as someone went out to inquire, she would know, but it just took a little more effort.
It's just a moment before I heard Wai Lang say out: "Aya died of illness three years ago, two years ago, Uncle Niang remarried Jizhou, and he and his sister were attached to their uncle's family and have been growing vegetables to make a living. ”
Hearing this, Zheng Sui probably understood how the title of Wailang came from, looked at Wailang and asked, "What books have you read?"
"No, Aya is in Japan, and he only knows some words with Aye. ”
Wailang shook his head, "Although there is a collection of books at home, but in the years when Aya was sick, he wanted to change the decoction and medicine, and he was sold to the pawn, when he was a child, Aya didn't let me touch the scrolls with Amei, the only time, I peeked at a book in private, and let Aya find out that he was beaten, Aya once said: Nothing is virtue, once a person opens his wisdom, it becomes a scourge." ”
Zheng Sui suddenly said silently, but he felt strange in his heart, the Zheng family has been familiar with the scriptures since childhood, and learned the way of Confucius and Mencius, how can they still have this kind of thinking.
Even if he is like Aya, a good old man, he respects and stays away from the official eunuchs, and acts freely, and he has never abandoned his knowledge.
Zheng Sui pondered for a moment, "I'll go to your house and take a look." ”
"No, you can't. ”
"Not suitable. ”
blocked in unison, only one was said by Cai Fu, and the other was shouted by Wai Lang.
Zheng Sui looked at Wailang, "Why, your house is a jackal and tiger's den, and you can't enter." ”
Wailang shook his head, but his face was a little anxious, "No, it's just...... It's just that Bushichiro is at my door at the moment, and my uncle and his servants are also there. ”
Hearing the word servant, Zheng Sui thought of what he had missed, and suddenly asked, "Your uncle's family is also surnamed Chaisang?" She looked at the ragged clothes of the Wailang brothers and sisters, and heard that he was dependent on his uncle's family to live, so she consciously thought that their uncle's family was not a poor family.
"It's not a surname, my uncle's surname is Yu, it's a businessman in Chaisang County, attached to the big family in Chaisang County to live, this time I heard that Bujia Qilang wants to sell my book, Uncle wants to sell a good book for the Bu family, so he forced me to sell the book, originally I thought, he likes it, lend him a copy, and don't necessarily want this book, I never thought that it was a distinguished guest from Bufu, good calligraphy, like the ancient characters on my book, so I wanted this book. ”
This time, I didn't think that Zheng Sui would say a word, so Wailang explained the ins and outs clearly.
Zheng Sui listened, but even a little worried, not afraid of running into powerful literati, afraid of running into villains and mediocre people such as ruffians and hooligans, if you ask for something else, she may not have it, but ask for words, she can still get a few shots, thinking of this, she suddenly had an idea in her heart, looked at Wailang and said: "You go to wait outside the second gate first, I will follow you later." ”
Wailang hesitated for a moment, but got up, answered the call, and led out without clothes.
It's just that as soon as people go out, Cai Fu became anxious, "The little lady is in a position to help the same clan, if you really want to help this wailang, you can also wait for Erlang to come back and let Erlang do it, there is no need for the little lady to go out." ”
Zheng Sui propped his chin and said lightly, "I thought my uncle's family was like my uncle and aunt, but I didn't expect there to be this." As an elder, as an uncle, he forced his own nephew to come, and when he spoke, he didn't pay attention to Cai Fu's words, and ordered him to go out. (To be continued......)
