Deng Changnian only felt that the muscles in his shoulders immediately stiffened.

Before he could speak, Uncle Zheng warmly took his hand again and said, "Come on, come with me to the backyard and meet your aunt and sister......

"Uncle Cousin." Deng Changnian finally let his shoulders relax a little, showed a very unnatural smile, and hurriedly said: "I came to the door in a hurry today, wouldn't it be too rude to go to see my sisters?" It is not too late to meet and greet each other in the future. Moreover, I have come today for serious business, and I want to consult with my cousin. ”

He was dressed very ordinarily today, and he came empty-handed.

Uncle Zheng invited a few words again and again, Deng Changnian just shirked and refused to go to the backyard without preparation, Uncle Zheng thought that it was Deng Changnian who loved face, so it was a bit rude to be so unprepared, so he just gave up, leaving Deng Changnian to talk in the study. He also explained with emotion that all these years it was because of the old marquis's confusion that he actually concealed this relative, so that he did not take care of Brother Deng Changnian and made them suffer. Deng Changnian occasionally responded, and was a little silent, but his expression became more and more relaxed, as if the knot in his heart for many years had finally been slowly untied. This made Uncle Zheng very satisfied.

It wasn't until he accidentally finished talking about a topic, seeing that Deng Changnian wanted to talk and stopped, and remembered that he said at the beginning that he had something to discuss with him, Master Zheng asked: "I don't know what my nephew is looking for me for?" If it's because of the injustices you have suffered in the army, I will have your merits re-examined, and you don't have to worry too much about it. ”

"You are the nephew of my righteous Zheng family, who would dare to deduct your military merits again?"

When he said this. Sitting upright, he seemed to attach great importance to Deng Changnian, but his eyes showed some casualness. probably thinks that Deng Changnian will not have any great things to discuss with him.

Deng Changnian shook his head and said gratefully: "Regarding the question of military merits, since my cousin has promised me, of course I believe it. And this is not what I discussed with my cousin. ”

He hesitated again and said, "I know a big secret, and the stakes are very high. If it is up to heaven to hear. It must be a great achievement...... It's just that my cousin also knows that I can't speak in person now, so I want to ask my cousin to do something......"

"Oh?" Master Zheng paid a little attention to it when he heard this. Seeing that Deng Changnian was very cautious. So he cooperated with him and waved away the people who were waiting nearby. "What secret?" he asked. ”

Deng Changnian did not speak immediately. This made Master Zheng really a little curious. However, his patience was not bad, and he did not rush immediately.

Half a day. Deng Changnian said in a low voice: "I heard that there is a cousin who will enter the palace in the spring of next year. The matter I want to talk about is related to the Deng family, but it is even more related to the queen's mother. Once it is publicized, it is a big event that can shock Kyoto, and the Deng family ......" He gritted his teeth, but he couldn't bear it.

Seeing him like this, Master Zheng turned all kinds of possible speculations in his mind, held back the itching of his heart, and said calmly: "Do you want to deal with those people in the Deng family?" He nodded slightly in agreement: "The Deng Mansion should have been your brother's. The people who stay inside now are just clowns in people's hearts, and no one will stand on their side. ”

"Uncle Cousin is right." Deng Changnian's face was absolutely unbearable to change several times, and said: "I am still surnamed Deng, and I don't want to see the Deng Mansion be taken off the plaque and the blood will flow like a river." ”

Master Zheng's heart jumped!

What kind of big secret, once it is made public, it will make the entire Deng Mansion no longer exist! To describe the river of blood can only be a great crime of stealing the family and exterminating the clan!

He looked at Deng Changnian in disbelief, and he didn't dare to ask for a while.

Deng Changnian said it: "The Deng family has collusion with the people of Beijin. ”

"There's proof!" Master Zheng was shocked in his heart: "This kind of thing is not something that can be said casually!" "Even if he only returned to Beijing from the battlefield for less than a year, the momentum cultivated by the powerful people for many years completely exploded at this time, and it was also very powerful!

Deng Changnian raised his head, nodded cautiously at Master Zheng, and said, "...... I didn't want to see them get complacent again, so I came to my cousin. I didn't know I had a cousin...... So I want to send this news to your cousin as a greeting. ”

Master Zheng looked at him a few times again, and finally became convinced that Deng Changnian was telling the truth. The current Deng family really has someone who colluded with Beijin. As for why Deng Changnian took this news as a gift, in the eyes of Master Zheng, this was undoubtedly a decision made because Deng Changnian wanted to firmly hug Zheng Fu's thighs.

It seems that he was suppressed by people before, and he really did the right thing.

Young people are proud. Especially young people who have the ability. If he hadn't seen the helplessness and cruelty of reality, how could he really bow his head?! And as long as I treat him better in the future......

"For many years, you remember that the bigger the event, the less you can be anxious." Master Zheng showed an unfathomable and amiable smile on his face, and said, "It's not early, let's cook first...... Let's talk about it after eating. ”

……

When Deng Changnian walked out of the Mingyi Waiting Mansion, his face was calm. He persuaded the Zheng Mansion not to publicize his identity to the public for the time being, so when he left, it was only the middle-aged butler named Zheng Stick who gave him a gift, just like the housekeeper he had come to find, and no one paid attention to it.

Zheng stick was just sent to the door.

Deng Changnian left alone.

That night, Mingyi Hou Shizi went to the main courtyard. The lights in the main courtyard were on for a long time before it turned into darkness. Early the next morning, the name of Mrs. Mingyi Houfu was sent to Mrs. Wen Changbo's desk. Mrs. Wen Changbo glanced at it before entering the palace, nodded and asked people to draw up a post to set the time for listening to the play, put this post on the back of her mind for the time being, and frowned and pondered, while letting people change their clothes and prepare the carriage and horses.

"Where's the eldest lady?" Mrs. Bo frowned and asked, "Why haven't you come yet?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, the eldest lady said that she couldn't get up because of the headache blown by the cold wind last night......" The little maid who talked back and forth trembled, knelt on the cold ground, and reluctantly gave her words back clearly: "The eldest lady said that when she is better, she will go to the palace to say goodbye to the mother." "She was only nervous because she was young and came out to speak to Madame for the first time, and not because of anything else.

In her opinion, the lady in the palace loves her own lady so much, and now she even gives her own grandmother to the young lady! Why does the young lady want to go to see the mother? If you are sick and uncomfortable, of course you won't go! It's not that hard to see you later! Where is the stress to be? (To be continued......)
