Chapter Twenty-Five: The Past Is Dusty

He can't forget it, he can't forget it in this life.

That year, he was four years old. The third year that their entire family was in solitary confinement. In the spring of that year, his Uncle Zheng Ze began to get drunk every day. He was still very young and didn't understand the things of adults. But I vaguely knew that it was because of that person.

The man's surname was Zhou, he was a general, the leader of all the people who watched over them, and he remembered that at that time, he asked Uncle Zheng Ze why he was drinking? Why get drunk? He said that he only hated that he couldn't kill Zhou Qiaomu! Zhou Qiaomu is that person. He was very puzzled, Zhou Qiaomu had a very good relationship with Uncle Han and Uncle Zheng Ze, why did his uncle kill him?

But he wanted to help his uncle. So that day, he hid in the place where Zhou Qiaomu often passed, holding a short dagger, and burst out to assassinate! As a result, he was caught by Zhou Qiaomu, and the soldiers wanted to kill him. Zhou Qiaomu threw him to the ground disdainfully: "But the yellow-mouthed milk, why kill it!" Let me kill here, and the Zheng clan will be left alone. Later, it was Uncle Han who came to pick him up. Uncle Han hugged him and cried all the way.

He would not be grateful to Aunt Han. Especially when he grew up, after arriving in Wancheng, he knew that Zheng Shang was a hybrid born to Uncle Han and Zhou Qiaomu!

He couldn't forget Zhou Qiaomu's contemptuous eyes. So, he hated to kill Zheng Shang!

When Zheng Sheng stood in front of the mongrel, he asked him, "Zheng Yang, what are you going to do?" Zheng Yang shouted with red eyes.

"Zheng Kewu, have you forgotten that you are the Zheng family? Forgot the shame of the past? Let me teach you a good lesson! ”

As he spoke, Zheng Yang stretched out his hand and grabbed Zheng Sheng. Zheng Sheng frowned, he really couldn't understand Zheng Yang, who suddenly erupted. Zheng raised him too much, and he also practiced martial arts, Zheng Sheng had only one choice, retreat.

"Zheng Yang, what are you crazy about?" Zheng Ye saw that things were not good, and hurriedly hugged him. It doesn't matter if you hit Zheng, but if you beat Zheng Sheng?

Zheng Sheng pulled up Zheng Shang on the ground and stepped back together.

At this time, Wan Mao and Zheng Yun appeared: "What are you doing?" ”

Zheng Yang was angry and still shouted loudly.

Wan Mao said to Zheng Yun: "Please come over to the Zheng family, this is not something that the academy can manage." ”

……

The Zheng Middle Hall, which is generally a place to receive foreign visitors.

At dusk, it was a little unusual.

On the chairman, Zheng Yuan, the head of the Zheng family, sat quietly, and his calm eyes contained endless charm. At the guest seat, Qiu Chudao's face was gloomy. Zheng Yun and Wan Mao stood on both sides.

Below, the important people of the Zheng family in Wancheng have arrived, Zheng Hong and Zheng Ba, the two heads of the Zheng family's Qiao Yang Hall, Zheng Wen and Cao Zhengmiao, who are in charge of financial power of the Zheng family, and Cao Zhengmiao, a soldier of Nanyang County, are sitting facing each other in two columns.

"There is a small matter today, what should I do if I brought everyone here to discuss it?" Zheng Yuan said.

"Since it's a trivial matter, the head of the family is in charge." Zheng Hong on the side said.

"This matter, although it is small, it will not end well if it is not handled properly." Zheng Yuan said, "Su Zhi." ”

Zheng Yun walked to the hall and told him about the conflict between Zheng Sheng and Zheng Yang today.

"It's just a dispute between the two juniors, the head of the family is a little worried, right?" Zheng Hong continued.

"If it's just a dispute between two juniors, then it's simple." Zheng Yuan looked at Zheng Ming: "Ziqing, come on." ”

"Uncle, just call them in." Zheng said.

Zheng Yuan looked at him deeply: "Okay." ”

Zheng Sheng, Zheng Shang, Zheng Yang, Zheng Ye, Huang Chongru, and Huang Juan walked in. Zheng Hong saw that his son was also there, his angry beard fluttered, and Zheng Ye obediently bowed his head.

Zheng Sheng looked at today's posture, he was a little puzzled, the children's disputes, why are the adults here? Looking at Zheng Miao's unfluctuating gaze, he had a bad premonition.

"Why did you have a conflict?" Zheng Yuan asked.

"The old man said a few words, and the old man only talked about the school. These students, the old man knows it. Needless to say, Zheng Yang, Zheng Ye, and Huang Chongru are also decent. Zheng Shang is here, he can be called Puyu, he is studious, and he has always performed his best in the school! ”

Zheng Hong, Zheng Wen and others were very surprised, isn't this Zheng Shang? Zheng Yuan and Zheng Luo were not surprised at all, they already knew about it.

"Yesterday, Ke Wu came up with an idea to reward those who performed well in the academy with food, Zheng Shang won the reward twice, and tomorrow it will be him. That's what happened in the school for the past two days. ”

"Zheng Ye, what do you say is going on today? What did you guys do? Zheng Hong took his son out first.

Zheng Ye shrunk his neck, laughed dryly, and seeing his father's stern expression, he whispered: "Zheng Shang is very powerful, and he endorses so quickly, we all can't get used to him." So, Yang Shao took a few of us to block him, intending to scare him. ”

Everyone in the Zheng family breathed a sigh of relief, that's it? The patriarch is not too much of a fuss.

"Really? Instead of trying to endorse, you bully the young. The head of the family, the matter is very clear, and it is not a big deal, so let's punish it a little! Zheng Hong gave his opinion.

Things seem to be clear, but ......

"No, no." Zheng Yang shouted, "Today, I confessed to any punishment I accepted, but a few of us blocked Zheng Shang, not because of a dispute in the school. We blocked Zheng Shang because we felt that he was not worthy of staying in the Zheng Academy. ”

Everyone's faces changed. Zheng Yuan said sharply: "Zheng Yang, who taught you this?" ”

Zheng Sheng lamented in his heart, it seems that Zheng Yang really intends to tear his face and tell the old things clearly? No, what good is Zheng Yang doing this? He just wants to block Zheng Shang and teach him a lesson, right? What about today's play? The director behind it can only be his big brother, right?

Zheng sat down, indifferent to this.

"I know it myself! Everybody knows! What qualifications does he have to stay in the Zheng Academy? Zheng Yang gritted his teeth and continued.

"Ziqing, what do you say?" Zheng Yuan sighed and asked, "How do you think about this matter?" ”

For the first time, Zheng Meng set his eyes on this stubborn boy: "Do what you have to do!" This child has been raised by our Zheng family for ten years, and he can be regarded as repaying Brother Zhou's kindness back then! ”

Zheng Shang's immature voice sounded: "My home is only me and my mother." Who you are, it has nothing to do with me. Staying here or leaving, it makes no difference at all. ”

Zheng Miao's face twitched, and then he smiled: "Okay." ”

Zheng Sheng took a step forward, "Uncle, eldest brother, elders. ”

Zheng Yuan shook his head at him: "Ke Wu, I'll talk about your business later." Zheng Sheng retreated very depressedly, his opinion was not taken seriously at all! People are light-talking, people are light-talking.

"Shang'er and I left the Zheng family." At this time, a woman who couldn't see her age walked in outside the door, her face was like ashes, and she said word by word: "From now on, my mother and son have nothing to do with you Zheng Miao!" ”

Zheng Luo stood up, "Shang Yi, you have finally decided. Huang Ke flashed outside the door, and he nodded at Zheng Ming.

Han Qing took Zheng Shang's little hand and said in a flat tone: "Zheng Ziqing, I, Han Shangyi, think I, Han Shangyi, think I was crying and asked me to see Zhou Qiaomu in the first place?" And who secretly denounced my father? In the future, Shang'er is just my son, and it really has nothing to do with you! ”

Zheng Miao's face changed suddenly, and he said angrily: "Slut! Shut up! Full of nonsense! ”

Zheng Yuan listened to Han Qing's words, he seemed to suddenly think of something, stood up tremblingly, Zheng Yun hurriedly supported him who was about to fall, Zheng Yuan said in surprise: "Shang Yi, you wait." You make it clear! ”

Zheng Sheng looked at the eyes of the people in the room with almost weird eyes, it seemed that this matter was getting more and more interesting!

"Uncle, why listen to the words of a slut?" Zheng Miao turned his head to Zheng Yuan and said.

"Uncle Zheng, there's nothing to say." Han Qing said calmly, "The past, now, has become dust. You are now the head of the dignified Nanyang Zheng family! Why bother with the past. ”

After Han Qing finished speaking, he pulled Zheng Shang and walked out.

"The past is dust." Zheng Yuan muttered.

Zheng Miao's usual gentle face returned, and he smiled at Zheng Yuan and said, "Uncle, you don't have to listen to her nonsense!" ”

"You ignore Shang Yi's mother and son. Today, he asked to summon the people in charge of the clan to deal with Zheng Shang. I don't care about these things, because they are your wives and children, and your own business. Zheng Yuan's face turned pale, "Your father and I have always felt that we owe you the most. I don't care what you do. It's just a regret in the past, and the truth of the matter is known today. You don't have to say anything, explain anything to me, I don't listen to anything. After all...... It's all in the past. ”

Zheng Ming's face turned pale.

The juniors on the side were stupid, what the hell is going on?

Zheng Sheng seemed to have a taste, and went through the front and back of this matter in his heart: Originally, Zheng Shang's performance in the school was also seen by Zheng Ming, maybe, Zheng Shang and Mrs. Han can always live humbly, and maybe Zheng Meng will not drive them away. He wants to behave "generously", take care of his son for Zhou Qiaomu, and repay his kindness.

But when Zheng Shang behaved very well, Zheng Meng would naturally take action against him and get rid of this little guy who was an eyesore.

Zheng Sheng's analysis was very close to Zheng Ming's state of mind, but he ignored the impact of his own proximity to Zheng Shang. If it weren't for Zheng Sheng standing up for Zheng Shang and letting Zheng Yang bully him, Zheng Meng would not be in a hurry to drive away Zheng Shang's mother and son.

Then, Mrs. Han came and left very "obediently", but left with an astonishing message.

Zheng Hong got up, "Now that the matter has been dealt with, the head of the family, I will retreat." ”

"Wait, it's not done yet." Zheng Meng arched his hand to Zheng Yuan and said: "These young people in the family can't be friendly with each other, and they must always be punished." ”

"Zheng Ye, Huang Chongru and others were handed over to their respective fathers to discipline. My father is far away in Youzhou, so I will take care of the son. ”

After Zheng Meng said this, Zheng Sheng was happy. Big brother, you haven't explained your own business clearly, and you want to deal with me again?

Qiu Chudao got up with a smile: "Is this how the Zheng family handles family affairs?" The old man has seen it. ”

He changed the topic and said to Zheng Yuan: "Master Zheng, it's time for the old man to leave." In the past few days, I really feel powerless, and the position of the head of the mountain, the head of the family, please be smart. ”

Zheng Yuan wanted to persuade him to stay a few words, but he couldn't say anything, so he sighed: "Let the master laugh, Master Qiu will go by himself." ”

Zheng Sheng's heart moved, and he also took two steps forward: "Uncle, this matter is indeed my fault, my father is not here, and my eldest brother is not wrong to discipline me." But my mother is in Shunyang, so let me go back to my mother and be disciplined. Moreover, I heard that my mother was sick, and it was time for me to go back to serve her. ”
