Chapter 196: Brother Talk
"Xiaolang, Shiro is here. ”
Zheng Wei listened to Erjing's words, raised his head, and saw Shiro Zheng Jun walking in, "Come, sit down." ”
Zheng Jun glanced at the case, there was a painting on the case, a panorama of Jiankang, he knew that Wulang Zheng Wei had been painting this painting for half a year, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "This painting is not finished yet?"
"It's done. Zheng Wei smiled, "Originally, it was going to be put away, but it was Xixi, and she had to put her seal on it, and it would have to cool for a while, and she could only collect it when the seal mud dried." ”
While talking, I only saw that Erjing and Sandu brought in the tea case, and put the pot for boiling tea and the charcoal fire of the tea set.
Zheng Wei rolled up the drawing, then walked out from behind the desk, knelt down on the square couch opposite Shiro Zheng Jun, and waved his hand to the servants who were squatting next to the tea case and watching the boiler and charcoal fire, "You go down, you don't need to wait." As he spoke, he looked up at Shiro Zheng Jun on the opposite side and said, "Let's make our own tea tonight." ”
"Then it's up to Gorou to make tea, I don't know anything. After Zheng Jun came to the south, he found that tea drinking in the south is more common, and there are often tea fights at banquets, and he is very particular about making tea, so although he doesn't like to drink tea, he can't be like Zheng Sui, he doesn't drink it if he doesn't like it, and he has to let himself slowly get used to drinking tea in the past six months.
Zheng Wei reached out and took the silver tongs and gently flicked the charcoal fire under the boiler, making the fire burn more vigorously, "It should still be able to eat, the pot I cooked before, Xixi came over and drank two bowls." I didn't see her say badly. ”
When Zheng Jun heard this, he pointed to the boiler, "This is the mountain spring water of Qingfeng Guanhou Mountain." ”
"Of course. Zheng Wei paused slightly, "Otherwise, Shiro thinks that with Xixi's picky taste, she will never drink it, listening to Caifu said, the girl never drank the tea in the palace last time, only drank honey." ”
"Goro. Shi Niang is now fifteen years old, and she is not young, so she still tries not to let her go to the palace. Zheng Jun said this. The brow furrowed imperceptibly.
Zheng Wei raised his head and looked at it clearly, thinking about it, Shiro Zheng Jun was the same as him. The mind is extremely clear. "Shiro, what do you think of the king of Xiangdong?"
"He?" Zheng Jun's expression changed, and he looked at Zheng Wei, "What does Gorou want to know?"
Zheng Wei looked at Zheng Jun vigilantly, "Brother, what are you worried about?" After speaking, he asked casually: "Recently, those Xiaolang you know." What do you think?"
Since his filial piety, Zheng Jun has been thinking about it. wanted to find a good family affair for Jiu Niang, so he went out to attend the banquet and intentionally met many unmarried children.
Zheng Jun did not reply immediately.
Zheng Wei didn't urge, listening to the water in the boiler began to find the gurgling sound, before it was fully boiling, he opened the lid of the pot, put it next to the desk, had already ground the tea cake, put five spoonfuls in it, and then covered the lid, and then waited for the water to boil.
"Kong Xiaolang, contemptible and profitable, Yu Xiaolang is talented and sparse, He Xiaolang is mediocre, Liu Xiaolang is a good one, but unfortunately he is a little lame. Zheng Wei didn't wait for Zheng Jun to speak, so he pointed them out one by one.
"Lujun Kong, after the sage, family history, Kong Xiaolang ......"
"You fall in love with Kong Xiaolang. Zheng Wei looked at Zheng Jun in surprise, he also thought that Zheng Jun was in the picture of Liu Xiaolang, at least, Liu Xiaolang was clear, good at talking, lofty and refined, a few days ago, at the banquet of the He family, he and Liu Xiaolang were still sitting together, talking for half an hour, proficient in metaphysics, refreshing.
Zheng Jun did not deny it, "I think Kong Xiaolang is very proficient in general affairs, even if he separates his family in the future, no matter what he does to make a living, he can make life safe." ”
"I disagree. Zheng Wei shook his head, "Our Zheng family is not afraid of raising more people. ”
"Goro, it's not a matter of raising more people, I just think he's more pragmatic, he's a concubine in the family, if you learn from those bombastic people, even your livelihood will be a problem in the future. Zheng Jun argued, in his opinion, Zheng Wei said that Kong Xiaolang was contemptuous and profitable, which was an exaggeration, Kong Xiaolang was just more accustomed to the world than others and liked money.
"These four people, except for Liu Xiaolang, the other three are not good. After Zheng Wei finished speaking, he said: "The next time the king of Xiangdong County comes, I want to see him." ”
As soon as Zheng Jun heard this, his nerves suddenly tensed again, "Gorou, I won't agree." ”
"If you can really pick a good one for Jiu Niang, I won't object, but if you are all like this, you can't stand by. ”
"Anu, you promised me that Jiu Niang's marriage is up to me, and you won't interfere. ”
"Shilang, Jiuniang is also my sister, I will never pick someone to marry him, just say the king of Xiangdong County, I also said, I have to meet people first, I didn't say that it was him. ”
Zheng Wei said, glanced at Zheng Jun, listened to the boiling sound in the boiler, opened the lid of the pot, fished out the foam in the water with a long ladle, placed it in the jar next to it, and then boiled intermittently.
I only heard Zheng Jun say: "Anu, even Xixi knows that there are few good deaths among the princes and grandsons of the southern dynasties, not to mention anything else, just by this article, the king of Xiangdong County can't, not to mention, we have rejected this family affair that day." ”
"But now, there is loosening in the palace again. Zheng Wei then told him that Zheng Sui came back from the palace today, and Xu Guifei wanted to see Jiuniang.
Zheng Jun shook his head, "In this case, I will settle the family affairs for Jiu Niang earlier, as for the matter of going to the palace, before Jiu Niang's family affairs are decided, I will report the illness first and not go out for the time being." ”
"Shiro. Zheng Wei hurriedly called.
"I've made up my mind about this. Zheng Jun didn't want to listen to it anymore, and said: "At the beginning, according to Anu's intentions, I didn't make decisions about Shi Niang's marriage, and now Jiu Niang's marriage, I hope Wu Lang will not interfere." ”
As soon as Zheng Wei heard this, he poured the tea with the foam in the jar, and his movements were slightly sluggish, but he still put out the fire, poured out two more bowls of tea, and muttered for a long time, "Okay, let you decide this time." Since Zheng Jun has moved out Shi Niang, Zheng Wei also knows that Zheng Jun has made up his mind, and no matter how much he says, it will be useless, but it will affect the relationship between the brothers.
After the two tasted tea, Zheng Wei got up, took out a post from the desk and under a book, handed it to Zheng Jun, and then returned to his seat, "Take a look, think about it, when you can go to work." ”
Zheng Jun hurriedly put down the tea bowl and reached out to take it.
When I opened it, it was a conquest, and the general's mansion of General Yuan of Jingzhou Assassin Shi was subordinate, Zheng Jun was overjoyed, and put the post together, "The sooner this is, the better." ”
At the end of the year before last, due to expediency, he resigned from the imperial court, and then, it was filial piety, so that he could not go out, recently, has been worried about this, the children of the Southern Dynasty family, into the officialdom of two positions, one is the secretary Lang, the other is the author Lang, but these two, he is unwilling, now this errand, he is like.
He remembered that a while ago, he mentioned this to Wulang, and wanted to be released, but he didn't want to stay in Jiankang, and the important towns in the south, Wei Jing and Yang, originally thought that they would go to Yangzhou, but they didn't expect to be able to go to Jingzhou.
"Then next month, I will tell Xie Shangshu that I will go to Jingzhou with you when the time comes. "Speaking of which, he hasn't met Yuan Gang, the assassin of Jingzhou, yet.
Since Zheng Wei no longer interfered in Jiuniang's marriage, he did not see the king of Xiangdong County again, and since then, the king of Xiangdong County has come twice, and it is still Zheng Jun who receives him, and the seventh princess came over and wanted to take Jiuniang into the palace, but they all shirked because of their physical illness.
——*——*——
In March, the peach blossoms in Jianchu Temple are the most beautiful.
Going out to see the flowers, coupled with the prosperity of incense, the number of people in the Jianchu Temple is the most.
On March 12, there was a huge Buddhist scripture lecture in Jianchu Temple, early in the morning, Wang Shishilang rushed to Zheng's house from the Qingfeng Temple outside the city, Zheng Sui rushed to the main courtyard with Aluo, ready to go out with Wulang, when he saw him, he couldn't help but smile and asked: "Twelve Lang is a believer, and lives in the Taoist temple all the year round, how can he go to the temple to listen to the Buddhist scriptures? Isn't it not the heart of the Buddha and the Tao conflict?"
"Whoever wants to listen to that lecture, I am here to meet the Master Namor who came from the north, and I heard Xie Jiulang say that Master Namor is not only proficient in Buddhist scriptures, but also proficient in metaphysics, and is familiar with the way of Lao Zhuang. Speaking of this, Wang Shishilang also raised his eyebrows deliberately, "If you don't believe it, you can ask your brother, is he for today's Venerable Master's Buddhist scripture lecture, or for Venerable Namor?"
Seeing Zheng Sui looking up at him, Zheng Wei smiled, "This Master Namor is an all-rounder, except for being proficient in Buddhism and metaphysics, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he also knows everything. ”
"I see. Zheng Suicai suddenly realized, no wonder the fifth brother told her yesterday that she was going to Jianchu Temple to listen to the Buddhist scriptures today, she still didn't believe it, speaking of which, although the grandmother Lu Shi went to the temple to listen to the Buddhist scriptures, but obviously, the fifth brother Zheng Wei was affected by quite limited.
"Hurry up and get in the car, and then grind down, and there will be no parking before the first temple is built for a while. Zheng Wei urged, and ordered Cai Fu and Xin Yi to help Zheng Sui and A Luo get into the ox cart.
But I heard Wang Shishilang smile and said: "Don't worry, I have already asked people to go over to occupy the place, there is no place for others, and there will be no place for us." ”
"You've thought it through. ”
Wang Shishilang glanced at Zheng Wulang, "If you stay in Jiankang for a long time, you will know that in Jiankang City, the most are temples, and at the same time, the place with the most people is also a temple." After speaking, he asked again, "When I came in just now, I saw that your family Shiro was just going out, why aren't you together?" ”
"You ask her?" Zheng Wei stretched out his hand and pointed at Zheng Sui.
Zheng Sui pursed his lips slightly, "I don't want to be with Shilang and the fourth lady." "Besides, there is also Erlang and Erniang in the fourth room.
Zheng Wei smiled wryly, "Since you don't like it, next time you will go out with the eighteenth aunt." ”
"No, I'll just go out alone. "As long as she has a servant by her side, the girl can go out alone, but the fifth brother Zheng Wei always said that she was not at ease, every time she was not brought by the eighteenth aunt or the fourth lady Yin, she was not allowed to go out, and now when she came, every time she went out, she had to follow behind the fifth brother.
