Chapter 289: Fate
"Xiaolang, it's time to go back. ”
The servant Xuanyan's words made Wang You come back to his senses, suppressed his surprise, smiled faintly, and turned around and walked back.
The north wind is howling, blowing head-on, swishing cold, cold and biting, but it is easy to make people sober-minded, Wang You recalled Zheng Sui's words, and only felt funny, since the clan chose him to succeed to Changzhi, he knew that he would inevitably marry Zheng's daughter, and the title of the male of Changzhi Founding County also needs to wait for him to marry his relatives, and then ask for him to inherit it.
His step-grandfather Wang Chen died young, and his step-grandmother Zheng, that is, Zheng Sui's grandmother, has been reluctant to have a step-heir, and this matter has dragged on for decades, until a few years ago, step-grandmother Zheng suddenly mentioned that in order to avoid his son's loneliness underground, he wanted to hold a yin marriage for his son who died early and the seventeenth mother of the Zheng family, and move to a burial place.
Seventeen Niang, the daughter of Zheng Shaoshi in the second room of the Zheng family, died before the age of ten.
After this incident, the Wang family sent someone to persuade the Zheng family to pass the heirs and grandchildren from the clan, this time, the Zheng family was very happy to agree, and the clan selected a few grandchildren, and he was among them, after that, although the step-grandmother Zheng did not return to Pingyang, she sent her nephew Zheng Han to Pingyang, and finally, Zheng Han fell in love with him.
It was only later that he learned that Zheng Han was going to choose an heir and grandson for the Zheng family, and it was more appropriate to choose a son-in-law.
However, whether it is the Zheng family or the Wang family, they are extremely satisfied with this family business.
After getting along for more than a year, he also felt agreeable, and when he thought of this, he smiled.
Three years ago, he participated in the election and let Taiyuan County's Dazhongzheng be rated as a second grade.
These two years. The conquest of the court, he is among them every year.
Just because he has not yet reached the crown, he is not in a hurry to get out. And compared with being a scholar, in the face of the ups and downs in the court and the mundane affairs in the officialdom, he is more willing to live in seclusion in the countryside and write books and speak.
But as Erlang Zheng Lun said to him: My own body is not my body, and I can't be willful.
He couldn't agree more.
Just ask: the world. There are a few people who can be like Zheng Han, the future father-in-law, who can do willfully.
Go back to the wing room in the east courtyard and enter the house. Flipping through the books on the desk, he instructed Xuan Yan, "Pick up the oil lamp a little." ”
Xuan Yan heard this, and couldn't help reminding: "Xiaolang." It's almost time to get right. ”
"It's fine. I'm in good spirits. Wang You said, looked at the inkstone in front of the case, there was still a little ink left in it, so he knelt on the couch, took a pen from the pen stand, rested on the inkstone, and suddenly put down the book in his hand, from the upper right corner of the desk. Take out a piece of silkworm cocoon paper and lay it flat on the table. Hold the tiger button copper paperweight and press it, and then lift the pen.
Xuan Yan cut the wick of the pottery glazed bear lantern, lit another oil lamp, moved a high table and put it in front of the desk, and then squatted next to the desk, Wang Shishilang had already taken a brush and began to trace the lines on the silkworm cocoon paper, and Xuan Yan stopped making a sound.
It wasn't until Wang Shishilang dipped in ink again that Xuan Yan asked out loud: "Do you want to add some inkstone ink to the small one?"
"No, I'll just paint one, that's enough. Wang Shishilang replied without even raising his head.
Xuan Yan glanced at the "Hundred Beauty Pictures" that was placed on the side, and when Fang Shishilang came in, the first thing he did was to turn over the book, however, for this book, Xuan Yan had some complaints in his heart.
At the beginning, Shishilang compiled this "Hundred Sages Collection", with character images and character deeds, easy to understand, Zheng Family's Ah Yi and Qi Lang both liked it, Zheng Shi Niang read the "Hundred Sages Collection", I liked it very much, and immediately mentioned: I want to compile a "Hundred Beauty Pictures", covering the beauties of the past and present.
For this sentence, the two of them listed the beauties recorded in the book throughout the ages, deleted one more time, selected a hundred beauties, and then studied the collection of scriptures, and then began to compile and paint, but Zheng Shi Niang drew a few pictures, and felt that the characters he painted, the lines were not as soft as Shishilang's paintings, and he was ashamed to paint again, so the rest of the pictures were drawn by Shishilang, and as for the writing of the characters' deeds, it was all completed by Shishilang.
Therefore, this "Hundred Beauty Pictures" can almost be said to have been completed by Shishiro alone.
And the previous "Hundred Sages Collection" was purely painted by Shishiro in his spare time in the past few years, more for entertainment, but this time, because of a sentence, a little free, Shishiro is rushing to this "Baimei Tu".
Because of this, Xuan Yan is full of complaints.
It was only finalized a few days ago, and the manuscript paper was bound into a book, and Shishilang planned to give Zheng Shi Niang's "Baimei Tu" as a birthday gift to Zheng Shi Niang on his birthday.
Xuan Yan got up again and cut the wick again, and when he squatted down next to the desk again, the characters on the silkworm cocoon paper had been clearly outlined, and they jumped on the paper, their faces were very familiar, and they couldn't help but be stunned.
――*――*――
On this day, Zheng Sui was practicing calligraphy in the study, and suddenly heard a servant outside to report: Eleven Niang is back.
"Ah Luo?" Zheng Sui was full of surprise, why did he come back at this time, this should be the time for Ah Luo to follow the female gentleman to class, thinking of this, he put the pen in his hand.
As soon as I looked up, I saw Arrow walking in with red eyes.
"Arrow, what's wrong?"
As soon as the words fell, Ah Luo's tears flowed, and he threw himself into Zheng Sui's arms and hugged Zheng Sui.
Zheng Sui's body stiffened suddenly, and he stretched out his hand to pull Ah Luo to sit down on the couch next to him, and patted Ah Luo's back, "Why are you crying?" Ah Luo, if you tell your sister something, don't cry." ”
I just looked at Ah Luo raising his head, his teary eyes blurred, "Sister, my aunt is sick." ”
Is Gauge sick?
Zheng Sui looked at A Luo's red eyes, tears fell straight down, guessing that it might not be so simple, but he still hurriedly persuaded: "Since you are sick, it is good to ask the doctor to go over and see the disease." ”
"I've seen a doctor and I've been taking medicine for a month, but this morning the doctor said...... Auntie, that's it for the past few days. Aro gasped, and when he said the back, he cried again.
When Zheng Sui heard this, she was shocked, if she remembered correctly, Gao Ji was not yet thirty years old, how could she be so sick?
"Ah Luo, don't worry, there are a few doctors living in the house, let's change the doctor and see, it's really not good. You can also go to Ruan's Mansion and find a few doctors to come over, and you will definitely be able to cure your aunt's illness. ”
Arrow kept sobbing. "I've seen it all, it's useless, these days...... I begged my aunt and the doctors in the two mansions, and I went to ...... I went to check my aunt's pulse and said that my aunt ...... Not useful. ”
Zheng Sui saw that Ah Luo's tears were about to come out again, and he was busy wiping them away for Ah Luo. It's just that in the face of the evil disease, everyone is powerless, at this moment. She could only hold Ah Luo, pat Ah Luo's back, and comfort Ah Luo.
After the Xingyang dock wall was destroyed by Gao Jing last time, the Zheng family was rescued from Xinzheng City. Aunt Zhuge took the two side rooms of the eldest uncle, Zhuge Clan. and Aya's wives and concubines, Cui and Gao Ji, also returned to Xingyang to live together, and as for the other concubines in the South Courtyard, except for those who died and escaped, the rest were later dismissed by the eldest brother.
The aunt moved from Xingyang to Chenliu and lived in this house, and the uncle's side room and Aya's wife and concubine also lived in Jingyuan with the aunt.
It's no wonder that for nearly a month, Arodo has mostly stayed in the Quiet Garden. It turned out that Gao Ji was sick.
It took a while for Aro to stop crying. Got out of Zheng Sui's arms, sat up straight, looked at Zheng Sui and said, "Sister, my aunt wants to see my eldest brother, can you help me talk to my eldest brother?"
"Your aunt wants to see the eldest brother?" Zheng Sui was very surprised, Gao Ji and the eldest brother Zheng Jing, but they couldn't hit the eight poles, what did she want to see the eldest brother do, but looking at Ah Luo's face full of anticipation, thinking that this might be Gao Ji's dying hope, she nodded and responded, "I will tell the eldest brother about it, but if I can't see it, it depends on the eldest brother's meaning." ”
Hearing this, Ah Luo's brows furrowed, and he was very worried, "This is my aunt's only wish, please ask Sister Jì for a favor, Ah Luo will not forget Sister Jì's great kindness." As he spoke, he was about to kneel down and kowtow.
Seeing this, Zheng Sui hurriedly grabbed Ah Luo, "Ah Luo, what are you doing, hurry up, we are sisters, I will be angry if I do this again." As he spoke, he reached out and helped Aro up.
Ah Luo was really worried that Zheng Sui would be angry and got up.
At noon, Zheng Sui rushed to Quyuan and told his sister-in-law Li about it, and under Zheng Sui's repeated requests, Li had to send someone to invite Zheng Jing back, and sent Zheng Sui out.
As soon as Zheng Sui left, Li asked Li Yu beside her, "Eminem, what did you say Gao Ji wanted to see Da Lang for?" It is said that Gao Ji lived in Jingyuan with her aunt and Cui Niangzi (Xiao Cui's family, Si Niang's biological mother), if there is anything inconvenient to say to her aunt, you can also tell Cui Niangzi that you shouldn't find Da Lang.
"Lady, Gao Ji is the biological mother of Eleven Niang. Li Yu looked at Li's suspicious face, reminded her, and pulled down the quilt for Li.
As soon as he heard this, Li Shi suddenly felt like an enlightenment, "It's me who is confused, I've been sick for so long, lying in bed, my brain is getting worse and worse." ”
At this time, Gao Ji is most concerned about the eleventh mother A Luo, A Luo is only thirteen years old, he is not yet old, he has never been engaged, and he has the right to decide on A Luo's future marriage, only Da Lang, besides, the purpose of giving A Luo a preface back then was to let A Luo prepare to be a companion to Shi Niang Zheng Sui, but this was never said clearly, so Gao Ji wanted to see Da Lang before he died.
"The lady is confused, but she can't think of it for a while. After Li Yu finished speaking, she said: "In this matter, I am afraid that I want the lady to go over to Jingyuan and see Gao Ji, but if it is cold today, the lady's body is not suitable to go out, according to the old body's thoughts, the lady still asked the meaning of the big man first, and then the old slave went to Jingyuan to talk to Cui Niangzi, and let Cui Niangzi go to sue Gao Ji." ”
According to Li Yu's understanding of Zheng Jing, Zheng Jing would never go to Jingyuan to see Gao Ji.
"Wait for Da Lang to come over, I'll ask Da Lang before I speak. "During this time, I have been nesting in the house, in fact, Li wants to go out for a walk, but his body does not allow it. (To be continued......)
PS: 1, Yin marriage: Before the Han Dynasty, it was the children of the parents who died sadly and early, thinking that they had not been able to choose a mate for them (her) before their death, and they (her) had to be married after death, so as not to be lonely underground, for example: Cao Cao's favorite son Cao Chong died at the age of thirteen, and Cao Cao hired the deceased Miss Zhen as Cao Chong's wife and buried them (them) together. There are many noble and wealthy families.

Whoever participates in the selection and has a higher quality, then after entering the office, the www.biquge.info of Biqu Pavilion will be relatively high, and the official position will be promoted faster, and vice versa.
