But all families that have lasted for hundreds of years have a set of rules and regulations, and once they exceed the rules, they will be severely attacked.

Zheng Sui already understood this very well when he was eight years old.

Zheng Sui still remembers that before the age of eight, there was a servant girl named Zilan by the side of the fifth brother Zheng Wei, who was very beautiful, loved to laugh, and had excellent learning, not only won the favor of the fifth brother, but even she liked Zilan very much, at that time, the other three personal maids around the fifth brother were now Ziyan Ziyun Zixia, and they had to be backward in front of Zilan, but they were such a proud person, when the fifth brother was twelve years old, just because the fifth brother mentioned that he wanted to release Zilan as a slave, his grandmother beat Zilan to death in front of the fifth brother.

In the words of her grandmother: Her grandson cannot be manipulated by a slave.

Because of this, the fifth brother was scared and fell seriously ill.

It can be used for domestic servants, but once it is taken off, it cannot be lived.

Aya can spoil her and spoil her, but she will not allow her to transgress the rules, and she can even be sure that as long as she tells Aya that she likes A-Luo, A-Luo will make Aya convicted of death, because in A-ya's eyes, she will not think that it is she who likes A-Luo and wants to give A-Luo a slave status, but will only think that A-Luo instigated her.

Therefore, Zheng Sui wants to let Ah Luo get rid of his slave status, and he can use many reasons, but the only reason that can't be used is: she likes Ah Luo.

Even so, that day, Aya listened to the reason, and still stared at her for a while, with a little coldness in her stern eyes, and didn't say much in the last word, only let her go back first, speaking of which, since returning to Xingyang, Aya has always loved her, even if she smashed Aye's cherished set of celadon that had passed the rain and the sky was clear, and took away Aye's five stone powder, she never saw Aya speak harshly about her.

Then it sank like a pebble into a deep pool, and there was no sound.

Zheng Sui didn't dare to mention it again.

After a year, the Li family looked at a family affair for Jiuniang Zheng Qianxiang, the eldest grandson of the Guo family's six rooms, although he was a concubine, but because the six rooms were originally concubines, his background was quite quite, but after looking at each other, he made up his mind, and the man died of a vicious disease.

This incident made the Li family really troubled, and even outside, the reputation of Jiu Niang Kefu spread, and Li was worried that Jiu Niang would not be able to think about it for a while, but she would see these two family affairs, so she often took Jiu Niang with her, but as for the family affairs, it was slowed down, and only let people visit carefully.

On this day, at nightfall, Zheng Han sent someone to find Zheng Jing.

In the brightly lit living room, there was not a single servant, Cangsu waited outside the door to guard the door, and after Zheng Jing entered the room, he saluted, and sat down at Zheng Han's couch.

After Zheng Jing sat down, he listened to Zheng Han say slowly: "I called you over, I just told you one thing, let your daughter-in-law send an iceman to Duan's house to propose marriage for Jiuniang." ”

When Zheng Jing heard this, he was stunned, he didn't expect that Aya would worry about Jiuniang's marriage, all along, Aya didn't care, brothers and sisters in the family, only Erlang and Shi Niang's marriage, Aya worried about it, therefore, only when it was about the marriage of Erlang and Shi Niang, he and Li would come to ask Aya.

It was about the rumors of Jiuniang Zheng Qiankefu that had alarmed Aya, and Ayah would ask, thinking of this, Zheng Jing sighed in his heart, and he didn't expect that Jiuniang's marriage would be so unsmooth, so he relieved himself and asked, "I don't know which Xiaolang of the Duan family is in Aya's picture?"

"Duan Jialang. ”

The Duan family also has several people, and now they are well-known and quite old and have never been married, only the eldest grandson of the third room, so he replied: "The eldest man of the third room is known as a virtuous person, and I also talked to him a few times at the banquet, and the people are ......."

"It's not the eldest man of the third room, it's the eldest lang of the Duan family's room, and Duan Yan, the eldest grandson of the eldest house," Zheng Han shook his head and interrupted Zheng Jing's words,

"I have asked people to investigate, Duan Yan is nineteen years old, and there is no marriage contract. ”

Duan Yan?

Zheng Jing was surprised, "Since Aya has investigated, he probably understands that Duan Yan is a well-known ignorant and unskilled person, who causes trouble all day long, and the name of a bully is like thunder in Xingyang, how can this person be a good match." ”

It is precisely because of Duan Yan's poor reputation that he is over nineteen years old and has never married.

Zheng Han rubbed his hand over a few red posts on the desk, and said in a light tone: "You don't have to pay attention to these, let your daughter-in-law send an iceman to Duan's mansion to discuss." ”

"Aya, the Duan family is neither an old clan, nor a eunuch, even if Jiuniang has the name of Kefu, and chooses to marry low under the influence of this, there is no need to be wronged by such an unlearned and unskilled person, if we really want to marry the Duan family, we can choose the three-room Dalang, and the Duan family will inevitably accept. ”

In Zheng Jing's view, the marriage of two families is often the family first, and then the individual, however, on the contrary, if the individual is not talented, it will implicate the extreme family, therefore, whether it is the family or the individual, it must be considered, but there is a priority.

"If Jiu Niang is just the name of Kefu, it will be forgotten, you can take a look at these first. Zheng Han said, pushing a few red posts on the desk in front of Zheng Jing.

Zheng Jing picked it up, there were four posts, opened the top one, and after reading only one line of words, he looked up at Zheng Han in confusion, "This is Jiu Niang's Geng post." ”

Zheng Han nodded, and his fingers lightly buckled the case, "You read these Geng posts carefully first." ”

Zheng Jing lowered his head again, looked carefully, but was surprised at first, and then his expression gradually became solemn, and he closed the last Geng post, his heart was extremely shocked, and he forcibly suppressed the turbulent waves that surged up in his heart, and asked: "Who is this last Geng post?" The first three are Jiu Niang, Xi Xi and Ah He.

"It's Aro's, it's the stand-in I chose for Hee Hee in the first place. Zheng Han paused, and then said: "Don't look at anything else, you take a good look at Xixi's Geng post, the comments on it are all annotated by a master I asked Feng Ziji to find, and that master is an old Taoist of Qiyun Mountain Taoist Temple." ”

Zheng Jing picked up Xixi's Geng post again, but after reading it, the ups and downs that were guided by the first look before, have gradually calmed down, and his eyes are extremely clear and firm, "Aya, the art of divination and deduction is not enough to believe, the child always believes that things are man-made, but where there is a child in one day, it will definitely protect Xixi and be thoughtful, as for whether the life is dead or not, it is not human, and it must not be forced." ”

"You can not believe it, but Jiu Niang's comment has now been fulfilled, how do you explain it?"

"The son of the Han family, he was sick in the original body, just because it was the old marriage of the old clan, for the sake of his aunt, he agreed, his early death could not be attributed to Jiu Niang, and the eldest grandson of the sixth room of the Guo family, a while ago, I sent someone to check, when he went to Yangzhou last year, he often visited the Red Mansion, and he got sick in that place, which cannot be counted on Jiu Niang. ”

Zheng Jing said this, looked at Zheng Han, and said seriously: "Aya, let's pick a family affair for Jiuniang again, and we don't ask for a family, just find someone who is healthy and has a good character, before we look at each other this time, I will ask people to check it well, and after it is clear, then find an iceman to talk to the matchmaker, do you think this will work?"

After speaking, he added, "Of course, if Aya belongs to the Duan family, we can also consider the Duan family's three-room eldest man." "As long as it's not the Duan family's big house.

Zheng Han didn't nod or shake his head, but said lightly: "Ah Da, have you thought about it, if you go on a business trip again this time, the name of Jiuniang's Kefu will be confirmed." ”

"This time, I will personally choose for Jiu Niang, be sure to ask for a safe one. Zheng Jing said, pushing the four copies of Geng in front of Zheng Han, "These things, Aya is still burned, and the eight-character proposition, just look at it, Aya can't be too serious, even the indescribable propositions recorded in the history books are just the words of the nobles, and they can't be true." ”

Zheng Han pondered for a long time and then relaxed, "Okay, after Jiuniang gets married, Anu will set off for Nanchu." ”

"Aya," Zheng Jing suddenly became a little anxious, Wulang set off for Nanchu, but it was a big event, now it is not a peaceful and prosperous era, thousands of miles away, large-scale migration of personnel, the difficulty can be imagined, everything has to be planned carefully in advance, "Anu goes to Nanchu, a qiē matter, the matter has been fully arranged, and it cannot be rescheduled." ”

"Ah Da, Aya as long as the bustle is safe. Aya thought that Anu would agree. As he spoke, Zheng Han glanced at Zheng Jing.

When Zheng Jing saw it, he knew that this was Aya's bottom line, so he didn't say more, and when he agreed, he immediately scolded the Taoist priest who recommended Feng Shiyi Langjun to Aya.

Throughout the ages, the so-called gossip has confused the public, and the harm is endless, probably like this, Aya has studied Confucius and Mencius, is familiar with Confucian scriptures, and will enter the Tao if he doesn't want to.

When he was about to get up and leave, he saw Aya looking at the four Geng posts, so he sat down again and asked, "That is called Aluo girl, Aya is going to do it?" This girl, he only heard Li mention it, and before, he didn't feel at ease.

"I haven't thought it through yet, if it really follows the fate approved by the Taoist, I must let her remember Xixi's goodness, otherwise it will ......" Zheng Han shook his head, he originally just wanted to find a stand-in for Xixi, but he didn't want to let the soothsayer point out, Ah Luo's life is unspeakably expensive, he originally didn't believe it, so he found another master to approve the life of Ah Luo and his three daughters, not to, not only confirmed Luo Luo's life, but brought out the unusual life of the three daughters.

Perhaps, as the saying goes, Mengmeng is auspicious.

If he didn't know, he wouldn't be able to accept Xixi's early death.

Zheng Jing looked at Aya's uncertain expression, and then said: "Aya, there are more little ladies in this generation, many of the little ladies in our family are concubines, and they are maidservants, but they don't have much to stake in backing up the dowry, besides, as Tong Xixi said, her eyes are very similar to the people of our family." ”

Zheng Han shook his senses, glanced at Zheng Jing, and waved his hand, "Okay, you go back first, these four Geng posts, after letting Anu see it, Aya will burn it." ”

As soon as he heard this, Zheng Jing got up and saluted and retired. RS
