The place where Mrs. Liu chose to settle was not chosen at random, and the rich people lived in the east, because the business here was angry, such as Hade Gate, also known as the Tax Gate, which was the passage for taxes from all over the country to enter the imperial city!

There are a lot of people like Liu Midwife who make a living from cheap business, after all, there are many rich people, and the corresponding services are spent on people to do it, she is generally for students who enter Beijing to take the exam, or wash clothes in the outer room of the small rich family, and it is also an extremely well-informed business, come and go, everyone is familiar with it, and all kinds of news have heard a lot, and what Liu Midwife cares about the most is the news of Zheng Guogong's Mansion. I heard that on the sixth day of this month, Zheng Guogong will be back!

Folk sayings are different, some people say that Zheng Guogong went to sea to earn silver, some people say that Zheng Guogong went to the border to fight, but no matter what, Zheng Guogong is still an important minister in the emperor's mind, and this time when he comes back, I am afraid that he will be promoted to the rank of official again, accompanied by various folk news! Zheng Guogong's mansion Yun Xiangrong was already busy cooking laba porridge!

Zheng Guogong came back on the sixth day of the first month, and the eighth day of the first month is the Laba Festival, this is the first year that Yun Xiangrong spent in Zheng Guogong's mansion, and she hopes to have a comfortable life! I also hope that everyone can be satisfied with the first New Year arranged by themselves as hostess! The old lady's courtyard has been very quiet recently, according to Aunt Ying, it is preparing to enter the palace, but the old lady is old after all, and the old Beng's Huaizhu is not so comfortable, everyone is staring at the New Year's event, Yun Xiangrong has not gone over to say goodbye, rather than meeting each other, it is better to be comfortable without meeting each other.

As soon as she entered the wax moon, Nian'er's schoolwork stopped, and she took Yan'er to make lanterns every day. The county lord will enter the mansion in three or two days, play for a whole day, and then go back, recently Zheng Guogong is coming back, and he is more and more diligent!

The three children are doing handicrafts in the workshop that Yun Xiangrong asked Yinggu to sort out, and today a Nian Er asked the kitchen to prepare some noodles, and the three children are making the zodiac with noodles, and if the preparation is completed, it will be during the New Year. Enter the palace to congratulate! Yan'er is the first time to make a noodle zodiac. Do it very carefully! Nian'er looked at it with a bright smile!

Yun Xiangrong stood at the door, looked at the three innocent and romantic children, and whispered to the Ying Gu beside him: "Send them some hot goat milk, and eat a pot at noon." It's been getting colder lately! I don't know if it's going well on the road!

Zheng Guogong left home for four months. I finally came back in time for the New Year. Counting that he would arrive at Tongzhou Wharf in two days, Zheng Guogong was a little excited, and he didn't know his villain. What's going on now, with Mama Lu here, you should be doing well! Zheng Guogong looked at the sea at night, and his thoughts returned to the capital!

The man who slowly walked onto the deck, obviously not in such a good mood as Zheng Guogong, looked at the turbulent sea around him, and said softly: "The goods are gone, how are you going to explain to your father?" ”

The corners of Zheng Guogong's mouth curled, and without looking back, he knew that there was the Eighth Prince behind him, looked at the sea in front of him, and said softly: "It's just a shipload of goods, the emperor is not going to want my life, Your Highness doesn't have to worry about it, but you, now that the brothers are turning against each other, the Jade Prince is still looking for trouble from time to time, and he feels uncomfortable!" ”

"Hey, I always thought you were iron-faced and selfless, but I didn't expect to gossip behind your back, it seems that you are impatient, and you dare to say bad things about the master!" Talking and smiling, he stepped forward and hooked up with Zheng Guogong, as if he was still a good brother! Zheng Guogong didn't shake it off, looking at the Eighth Prince and shaking his head helplessly and sighing!

The Jade Prince also looked at the Eighth Prince, but it was more like a demonstration, after all, he and Zheng Guogong grew up together, and the Eighth Prince slowly turned around, not wanting to fight with the Jade Prince here!

Seeing that the eighth prince was gone, the Jade Lord pursed his lips, feeling bored, looked at the sea in front of him, and whispered to Zheng Guogong beside him: "I heard that you owe Lao Qi a favor, but it is just a human life, why bother with yourself, I'm afraid that Lao Qi has other plans!" ”

The corners of Zheng Guogong's mouth curled, and he said in a voice that only two people could hear: "I have such a reputation, what can I do, who calculates who is not necessarily, it's almost to the capital, don't say I didn't remind you, the goods are sinking, presumably the emperor is in a bad mood, you'd better keep quiet, don't touch the mold!" After saying that, he turned around and returned to his residence!

The Jade Lord looked at the sea, his brows furrowed slightly, it stands to reason that he is very hidden, there is no reason for the Zheng Guo Guild to know, he should just care about himself, the Jade Lord looked at the sea, his hands were clenched into fists, he was a little crazy like that!

Tan Yu was dancing with his eyebrows and talking to Wang Xi about what he had heard, his family was fine, and there was nothing more exciting for him than this!

Zhuzi looked at the two excited people, and he didn't understand, as smart as Tan Yu, he couldn't see the trick here, the other party just wanted to lead Zheng Guogong into the urn, as for Tan Yu's family, it was estimated that it was just a plan at the beginning, but he just wanted to look at the other party's position in Zheng Guogong's heart, such a simple truth, how could two big men who were so smart still be so excited!

Zheng Guogong agreed to the other party's three conditions, and even he felt depressed, so he didn't understand what the two of them were excited about!

Zheng Guogong saw the expression of the pillar in his eyes, and slowly entered the cabin, the three of them hurriedly bowed and saluted, Zheng Guogong waved his hand, signaling that everyone did not have to be formal! looked at the pillar and said softly: "The ship docked, you go to do one thing, follow His Royal Highness Nine for twenty-four hours, see when he is, who he meets, and then see when he is going to go to sea to pick up the goods, according to my calculations, I am afraid that it will be before the New Year!" "The pillar is busy!

Tan Yu was stunned, according to such an important matter, Zheng Guogong arranged to do it himself, but he didn't expect to arrange the pillar, Tan Yu was busy looking at Zheng Guogong's face, Zheng Guogong said with a smile: "It's going to be the New Year, you should also go home for the New Year, and come back to the capital after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year!" Tan Yu responded with a smile, knowing that Zheng Guogong didn't blame himself, and his heart was a little relieved, in fact, the other party's purpose couldn't be clearer, but it just involved the lives of his family, Tan Yu didn't dare to bet! Fortunately, Zheng Guogong readily agreed to the other party's conditions, and all he could do was to follow Zheng Guogong and repay him!

Seeing that there was nothing wrong, Zheng Guogong looked at Wang Xi and said with a smile: "If it's okay, teach my apprentice to play chess, he admires you very much!" After Zheng Guogong finished speaking, the pillar looked at Wang Xi embarrassedly. I'm afraid that Wang Xi won't look down on himself!

Wang Xi responded happily, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's play a few plates, let's see your skills first!" ”

The two of them sat on both sides of the chessboard, one holding a white son and the other holding a black child, and after ten moves, Wang Xi didn't dare to take it lightly, looked at the pillar and asked in a low voice: "You can play chess!" ”

The pillar smiled implicitly, and did not say that he had been studying with Zheng Guogong for some days! I just heard that Wang Xi's chess skills are extraordinary. He's just having itchy hands. Unexpectedly, Zheng Guogong arranged a chance for him, and he is really a person who knows the pillars, except for his father, he will probably count Zheng Guogong!

The two of them went down for half an hour. Wang Xi began to sweat. This is where you need to guide yourself. Such a child, I'm afraid he can play against the Seven Princes! Wang Xi frowned and hurriedly went to see Zheng Guogong, not understanding what Zheng Guogong meant. The corners of Zheng Guogong's mouth curled, and he said softly: "Go on, I'll talk to you later!" ”

After another quarter of an hour, the two men finally played a draw!

Wang Xi looked at the chessboard, his face was a little ugly, Zheng Guogong smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "I am going to send this child to Taixue, but you know that those old masters are really pedantic, and you have a good reputation, I want to borrow your name to create a momentum for this child!" ”

Wang Xi suddenly realized, it turned out that Zheng Guogong was thinking that the reputation of the pillar was not obvious, and it was a little difficult to enter Taixue, but if it was passed out and played against himself was a draw, then even if it was a night of fear, he would become famous, Wang Xi didn't mind Zheng Guogong using himself, but he was a little annoyed that he didn't win chess, and said coldly: "If you want to use my name, it depends on whether I am willing or not, come on, try another game!" ”

Wang Xi took out twelve points of energy layout, but found that he was losing and retreating, although he was reluctant, but he was vigilant, if he lost, it would be too embarrassing!

The pillar saw Wang Xi's seriousness, and deliberately played a wrong move, Tan Yu was very sorry, the corners of Zheng Guogong's mouth were upturned, and he bowed his head slightly, obviously satisfied with the performance of the pillar!

In the end, Wang Xi narrowly won with two sons, looked at the chessboard, and said in a deep voice after a long time: "I lost, at your age, I don't have such a mind, just rush this, I will send you in if you learn too much!" ”

Zheng Guogong saw that Wang Xi should go down, and his heart was very happy, he knew that Wang Xi was his real husband, not that Zheng Guogong couldn't send the pillar to Taixue, but this time he returned to the capital, he wanted to be a rich idler, and it was also a good life! Zheng Guogong hugged his fist at Wang Xi and said with a smile: "Brother Shuquan is tired!" "The pillar hurriedly stood up and bowed!

Wang Xi really had nothing to say to the master and apprentice, smiled and waved his hand, and said softly: "If you have good wine and meat, please invite me to eat, I have helped you a lot!" Tan Yu was busy preparing, and the pillar turned around and took the wine bag on Zheng Guogong's case!

Zheng Guogong looked funny, and said softly: "You are generous, it's okay, the sword is given to the hero, and Wu Zhuangyuan tastes my wine!" ”

Wang Xi only took a sip, his eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Zheng Guogong, and asked softly, "It's the old daughter Hong!" Zheng Guogong bowed his head and said softly: "You are drinking the fifty-year-old daughter red that someone else has stored!" ”

Wang Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, took another sip, looked at the pillar, and asked softly, "Your father is a white altar?" ”

The pillar was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Wang Xi to recognize the source of this wine at once, and hurriedly went to see Zheng Guogong, the corners of Zheng Guogong's mouth curled, and he said softly: "It's okay, don't tell lies in front of real people, your family's affairs, I'm afraid that you will inevitably trouble Wu Zhuangyuan in the future, it's better to tell the truth!" ”

Wang Xi put down the wine bag, looked at Zheng Guogong, and asked, "Why do I think I was calculated by you!" ”

Zheng Guogong smiled happily, looked at Wang Xi, and said softly: "Wine is not intoxicating, people are drunk, if you don't want to, I can't help it, right, your favor, I wrote it down, this child's matter, please leave it to you in the future!" Wang Xi shook his head, looked at Zheng Guogong, and didn't understand what Zheng Guogong meant, how did he feel the feeling that Zheng Guogong was about to retire!

The two looked at each other, and neither of them spoke, but Wang Xi understood the smile in Zheng Guogong's eyes, and said softly: "Okay, I admit it, you are really an old fox!" After that, he took another sip of wine!

Zheng Guogong smiled heartily and said softly: "Drink slowly, it's all yours, wait for the appetizers to come, drink it again, this wine is full of stamina!" Before Zheng Guogong's words fell, Wang Xi had already slammed and lay on the table! Zheng Guogong was stunned for a moment, the pillar hurriedly helped Wang Xi up, placed the person on the bed he was sleeping on, and said softly: "My father said that ordinary people will get drunk as long as they take a sip of this wine, and Wu Zhuangyuan is already very good at drinking!" ”

Zheng Guogong bowed his head, thinking that fortunately, he was thinking about begging someone to take it out again, if he drank it like this, he might not be able to make some jokes! He doesn't think he has a lot of Wang Xi! Seeing that Wang Xi was asleep, he was not idle, so he wrote two letters and handed them to the pillar, asking him to take them with him when he got off the boat, and open them again when he needed them!

The pillar was very obedient and put the letter close to his bosom!

Zheng Guogong said a few more words before they rested! Wang Xi occupied the bed of the pillar, and Tan Yu and the pillar were crowded together!

The pillar was clinging to the wall, for fear that he would make Tan Yu uncomfortable!

Tan Yu liked this child very much, and said softly: "Sleep comfortably, it's just one night anyway, if you don't sleep well, I might as well go sleep in Wang Xi's bed!" After speaking, he was about to get up, but the pillar hurriedly grabbed Tan Yu and said softly: "Tan Daxia can't go, my martial arts are not enough to guard the master, if someone sneaks attack, then what can I do!" ”

Tan Yu bowed his head and said with a smile: "Tease you, my lord is here, I won't go back anywhere, go to bed early, in a few days, I'm afraid it will be very hard!" ”

What a child, and soon the pillar fell asleep!

Tan Yu whispered, looking at the dark night, standing tightly against the door, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside, no matter what the other party's intentions were, this time, I had to catch a turtle in the urn!

Zheng Guogong was very alert at night, and because he was like an arrow, he didn't fall asleep, he also heard the movement outside, stared at the window in the tent, and like Tan Yu, both of them were fully prepared!

In the next second, I only heard a squeak, and someone walked in through the door, and by the faint moonlight, he looked at the bed where Zheng Guogong lived!

Tan Yu frowned, he didn't know if he wanted to do it at this moment! Zheng Guogong had already held the short sword, looking at the visitor, but he was very puzzled in his heart, he never thought that it would be him!

The person who came walked directly to the side of the bed quickly, held his breath, I don't know why, and turned around to go to another bed, Zheng Guogong frowned, but Tan Yu thought that it was an oolong, and just thinking about it, he heard the person muttering: "No wonder I didn't go back, it turned out to be drunk!" After speaking, he turned around and walked out generously like his own house!

Tan Yu let out a sigh of relief and looked at Zheng Guogong, Zheng Guogong shook his head and motioned to Tan Yu not to make a sound!

Tan Yu was just about to relax his vigilance, when he heard someone landing on the deck, and hurriedly went to see Zheng Guogong, Zheng Guogong made a silent gesture, and the two of them stared at the door and window! (To be continued......)
