Chapter 36: Ziqing's Secret Letter
"Gone? Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing earlier! What's up? The last sentence was the roar of Shi Chongchong's servant who appeared at the door.
"My lord, the secret letter has arrived." The servant fell to the ground trembling and explained tremblingly.
Shi Chong stood up suddenly, and with a wave of his hand, he asked everyone to stand back.
Shi Chong took the letter, got up again in shock, and read the note in his hand carefully, he didn't laugh back: "What a trick to secretly Chen Cang!" If it weren't for Lao Tzu's backhand, he would really be caught off guard! ”
"The wood has not yet been completed, and the outcome is still unknown!" Shi Chong threw down the paper and strode out the door.
The piece of paper fell lightly to the ground, and I saw that it was written: Zheng Sheng, the son of the Zheng family in Nanyang, and Lu Yun, the daughter of the Lu family in Jiangxia, are being adopted.
……
Yangzhou, in early June of the fourth year of Taikang, is the best time of the year.
On this day, a couple of young men and women visited Jianye City.
It was Zheng Sheng and Liu Wei'er.
During this period of time, Zheng Sheng's whereabouts were as erratic as the guerrillas of later generations, from south to north, from west to east, they were about to play half of China.
The main reason is that Liu Wen'er has a strong interest in playing, and when she thinks of a place, she wants to go there to play. Fortunately, she is a very sensible person and did not propose to go to a non-existent place like Yingzhou Penglai.
traveled all the way, and then in the middle of each month, Zheng Sheng exchanged a batch of supplies, which made the original luck mentality - Zheng had only the original inventory of the people disappointed.
When they returned to the inn to rest after visiting Stone Town that day, a letter was already waiting for him.
It was Zheng Wen's letter. Zheng Sheng opened it, only to find that it told an unexpected story.
If Zheng Shengpiao's supply to shops outside is a palliative solution, then the marriage with the Lu family is the way to cure the root cause.
In the past three months, the Zheng and Lu families have had early contact. Lu Xian was very satisfied with Zheng Sheng's son-in-law candidate, and the adults of the Zheng family also had no opinion on this family business.
Then let's follow the rules!
Without bothering the two masters, Zheng Yuan asked Zheng Wen to continue to ask the Han family to be a matchmaker and go to the Lu family's house in Jiangxia to propose marriage.
After Lu Xian agreed to propose marriage, Zheng Yuan asked Zheng Xutai to bring all the gifts to propose.
As a result, the team that had been bypassing Jingzhou was robbed by a group of masked gangsters in Xiyang County, Yiyang County, and they robbed the wedding proposal to empty the space.
The old housekeeper Zheng Xutai returned in vain.
Immediately, there was news from Jiangxia's side: Jingzhou Thorn Shi Shi Chong proposed to Jiangxia Lu's family!
Of course, Shi Chong already has a wife, and he doesn't want to make a concubine himself. Such an insult was impossible for Lu Xian to accept.
Shi Chong's matchmaker was proposing to Lu for his youngest son, Shi Meng.
Looking at it this way, Shi Chong really has the bearing to be willing to cut his body, and in order to destroy the marriage of Zheng and Lu, he made a major marriage event for his son!
But as Shi Chong's sons and daughters, Lu Xian couldn't accept it, so he had to drag it out on the one hand and not reply, and on the other hand, he wrote to discuss with the Zheng family what to do?
What to do?
Thorn Shi Shi Chong is playing a bastard move, what can they ordinary people do?
To say that Shi Meng's conduct may not be as good as Zheng Sheng, but the lintel is high! It's Aiko again.
How to choose, Lu Xian doesn't understand?
Lu Xian really didn't understand, he understood that this was a vicious fight. Since Lu Yun and Zheng Sheng met in Wangyuan Pavilion, his daughter has thrown her life's events into this whirlpool as a bargaining chip.
Marry your daughter to Shi Meng? This represents a complete failure on their side!
But Shi Chong is an official proposal, and all the people in Jingzhou know about it, while the Zheng and Lu families are secretly negotiating, even if they invite a matchmaker, only a few people in power in the Han family know.
Lu Xian dragged out and did not answer, which seemed very unreasonable. The anxious Lu Xian had a bigger question: Why did the matter between the Zheng and Lu families leak out?
With this question in mind, Zheng Sheng hurried back to Wancheng.
Back in Wancheng, Zheng Sheng learned the news that Zheng Yuan had fallen ill again. He was, and his doubts were answered.
Zheng Yuan was also puzzled by how things were leaked. If there is no problem on the Han and Lu sides, the problem can only be on their own heads.
Zheng Yuan has a certain reason to think so, the Han and Lu families are less involved, and the Zheng family is different, arranging and preparing gifts, selecting suitable marriage proposals, and the women in the family also began to prepare for Zheng Sheng's marriage under the leadership of his wife, Mrs. Yan.
There are many people with mixed mouths, and accidents are inevitable.
Zheng Yuan summoned everyone to lecture with a tentative attitude, but he really found out the leaker.
It was Zheng Ming's concubine, and she told Zheng Ming about it.
Zheng Luo went out to be an official, and Liu was not taken away by him. Among his many concubines, the Liu family is probably not the one who is favored.
Liu is also not a figure of concern in the Zheng family.
However, she was cautious and accompanied by her every day, so that she gradually became a trustworthy person in Mrs. Yan's heart.
Zheng Sheng's marriage was naturally known by the Liu family.
However, unexpectedly, the Liu family turned out to be the eyes and ears of Zheng Meng at home, to find out what happened inside the Zheng family.
After going out to make a county order, Zheng Meng had no contact with his family except for writing a letter to Zheng Yuan every Spring Festival to express his feelings.
And Liu's "fine work" was the first time to make a move, and he passed on the major event of Zheng Sheng's marriage.
However, Liu's is also an unqualified "meticulous work", Old Man Zheng and Mrs. Yan just gathered everyone, and before they could completely explain how to punish the leaker after finding out, Liu showed his feet in a panic.
Zheng Yuan didn't think that Zheng Meng would be in the same boat as Shi Chong, but after checking and checking, he only found one leaker from the Liu family.
Zheng Yuan had to believe this fact.
"Is it Big Brother?" Zheng Sheng muttered, "It turned out to be him!" ”
"In fact, we should have thought that Huang Xiaoru who had an accident at Xiangyang Auction House was Zheng Ming's uncle's family. We need to do some cleaning at home. Zheng Wen said cruelly.
The matter of purging the Huang clan was thus determined. Zheng Sheng didn't expect the Huang family to have such a big influence in the Zheng family. He only remembered that Zheng Tan's previous wife was indeed surnamed Huang, and he also knew that Huang Chongru was his cousin, but Zheng Sheng did not know the relationship between Huang Xiaoru and Zheng Ming.
According to this line of thinking, it can be determined that it was Zheng Meng who helped Shi Chong deal with the Zheng family. If Zheng Miao's outrageous thing a few years ago was just trying to fight for power and profit, now, he is going to ruin the entire family!
If you don't get it, you will destroy it!
Zheng Sheng seemed to be able to understand him.
But understanding is understanding, and his approach is naturally to resist harshly!
However, the eldest brother is like a father, and Zheng Sheng is not as good as Zheng Yuan and others, writing a letter to scold him.
Although Zheng Lu's marriage encountered ** annoyance, he also caught a big "traitor", didn't he?
Zheng Sheng reasoned his way of thinking, and felt that the two sides were also tied in this round. He undermined the other party's economic blockade, and the other party also added to his marriage.
He is not afraid of blocking, as the so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and he will accept it.
