Chapter VIII: Reparation

Back in the plum garden where she lives now, the more Zheng Xi thought about it, the more angry she became, lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and her heart felt like a fire. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although 'she' married on behalf of her selfishly, she also listened to Zheng Yue's words, and Zheng Xi didn't believe that 'her' father and mother didn't know.

Before leaving the cabinet, "she" put filial piety first, never disobeyed the will of the elders, and served by the side every day, doing her best. They coughed, took tea and water, stretched their waists, handed the pillow faster than the slave maid, shook their shoulders, and 'she' herself stepped forward and rubbed her shoulders and beat her back.

It's good now, it's just a matter of using 'her' as a pawn, and you have to make 'her' a dead chess piece to be willing.

In the past, 'she' always thought about others for the sake of others, and she would let things go again and again. Not today, Zheng Xi thinks he doesn't have that elegance.

Thinking that the key to the dowry cage was still in her hand, Zheng Xijue didn't sleep anymore, ate a full meal, and started working. Wait until it gets dark, find cloves, open all the dowry in the cage in the dark, take out all the valuable little things, and add 'ingredients' to it if it is inconvenient to take it, until one piece does not fall, then I feel comfortable, clap my hands and go back to the house to sleep.

After two nights of fighting, Zheng Xi was also extremely tired and sleepy, and she didn't get up again when she fell on the bed, until someone from the Zheng family came to the afternoon of the second day and asked her to go to the main building to 'sit', Zheng Xi got up lazily.

It took half an hour to rinse, half an hour to pamper her face, another half an hour to choose clothes, and by the time Zheng Xi walked out of the plum garden, it was already dark.

The Shogun's Mansion is the most powerful gateway to Kyoto for hundreds of years, and the domineering and majestic degree of the main building Shogun's Mansion is definitely not inferior to any palace in the Imperial Palace.

There are three gatehouses with two floors high, and there are two elite soldiers standing on both sides of each gatehouse, each soldier wears armor and holds a sword, a team of sixteen people, standing in two columns, the momentum is amazing. I heard that these guards existed in the Shogun's Mansion when the country was founded, and they not only guarded the safety of the Shogun's Tower, but also the Shogun's Mansion was a privilege different from Beppu.

After passing through the gatehouse, an octagonal pavilion stands behind the gatehouse, followed by the garden, the pond and the water promenade, which is already illuminated.

It took Liu Xi nearly half an hour to walk through the water promenade. Looking up at the three-story General Tower, which was finally standing in front of him at a forty-five degree angle, Zheng Xi's sense of pride arose spontaneously, and his eyes almost wet with tears.

Her father in modern times is a general, and she still has a good impression of the position of general.

The soldiers in front of the building looked like wooden stakes one by one, their faces were expressionless, their eyes did not squint, and they were completely unaware of Zheng Xi's arrival. Zheng Xi faked a cough, trying to get their attention.

Li Hongwen's loud voice came from inside the building: "Come in!" ”

Zheng Xi had to lift her skirt and go up the stairs, and suddenly thought of the simplicity of Lilac, so she waited at the bottom of the stairs and entered the building by herself.

Walking through the hall, Zheng Xi had to be attracted by the boxes and cages that filled the room, all of them were wide open, and there was a mess inside, there was no object that could see its true face, Zheng Xi was very satisfied with his masterpiece.

Chemistry can't be learned in vain, even if she goes back to backward antiquity, she has to use them to the best of her ability.

Seeing Zheng Ying and Zhang standing in the middle of the room, Zheng Xi looked surprised. "Huh! Father and Mother, why are you here? Don't you miss your daughter so quickly? Then you don't have to go on a trip in person, my daughter will go back to see you tomorrow! Why rush this time. ”

When Zheng Ying heard Zheng Xi's words, she was so angry that she couldn't speak, her face was flushed, but Zhang changed her usual kindness when she treated Liu Xi, and said sharply: "Son, don't kneel down and make amends to your father, you see the good things you have done." As he spoke, he pointed to the open cages. The fierce momentum is probably to take advantage of this marriage to completely tear her face.

Zheng Xi frowned, "Apologies? What a sin a daughter! "If she had changed her usual life, she would have knelt down and kowtowed.

Zhang was shocked by Zheng Xi's different attitude, and it took a while to react, took out a handkerchief, and cried out of the corner of his eyes: "What kind of sin have I done, raising such a white-eyed wolf as you." I even have to fight for my sister's things, sir, look at it, this is the good daughter you keep saying. ”

Zheng Ying relieved herself, gritted her teeth and said, "We are here to ask you today, how did a good dowry become like this." ”

"Dowry? Isn't my dowry going back to the Hou Mansion? Why did you bring it back again? It's all in tatters, although the daughter will have a hard time without the dowry, but it won't even be in tatters, not to mention that the general's mansion is not lacking in this little thing for the daughter. After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, regardless of whether Zheng Ying and Zhang's faces were purple or red.

Li Hongwen still couldn't stand it anymore, got up from his seat, and said, "Master Hou, don't hurt your body for this little thing, if you have anything to say, sit down and talk about it." Li Hongwen has a burly body, but he is always kind when he speaks.

When he stepped down from his seat and stood next to Zheng Ying, his body was a third wider than him, not to mention, and half a head taller than him.

That gave Zheng Ying a chance to speak, and as soon as the words changed, the spearhead was pointed at the General's Mansion. "Say it well, how can you let me say it well, eighteen dowry! It's all ruined, but when our family sent it in, it was all unpacked and inspected, and now it's like this when we send it back......"

Li Hongwen had no choice but to say. "We also have a responsibility for poor regulation! If it's really our fault, we'll pay for it. ”

When Zhang heard this, the whole person jumped: "Compensate according to the price?" How to compensate according to the price, there are Qingli's calligraphy and paintings, there are antiques that have been handed down by my family for hundreds of years, and there are dozens of rare treasures alone...... That's all for my family. ”

Zheng Xi couldn't listen to it anymore. Stopping the steps he wanted to take, he turned around, and casually took out a half-arm-length round-bellied long-necked vase from the cage, which had become gray in color, and then took out a white vial from his bosom.

Pulling the cork, he poured the brown liquid inside the round-bellied long-necked vase, and as the liquid went, the gray color on the round-bellied long-necked vase disappeared, revealing its original white carved appearance.

When Zheng Ying, Zhang and Li Hongwen, including Duan and Li Xu, who had been silent beside them, were surprised, Zheng Xi loosened the vase that was still in his hand to restore its original appearance, and with a "bang", the vase shattered in response, but this time it could not be restored to its original appearance.

Zhang exclaimed: "My white jade jade bottle ......"

"I'm not fighting for my sister's things, but what my sister doesn't want all the time. If these dowry sisters don't want to ask for it, I don't mind staying any longer. Of course, if you carry it back, you won't be able to use it. I'm not as generous as my sister, and I can even let my husband. I'm different, it belongs to me, and unless I don't want it, I'd rather ruin it than cheapen someone else. After speaking, Zheng Xi clapped his hands and left.
