Chapter 16: Zheng Yi
Having made up his mind, Tuoba Shen walked towards the place where the relatives of the country gathered. It's not that it's not unparticular, the royal family is the imperial family, the national relatives are the national relatives, the imperial relatives are distant and close, and the national relatives also have them. Therefore, most of them are arranged according to the status of the court or at home, and the distance between relatives and relatives. Then there are kings with different surnames and relatives, and most of the kings with different surnames are the descendants of the eight founding fathers, and these eight ancestors have been married to each other for generations by the royal family, for example, the Qiu Muling clan and the royal family have been hired dozens of times for generations among the eight ancestors, which is the most among the eight ancestors. Therefore, they are different from ordinary relatives, they are similar to several hereditary heroes of Zhu Difeng in the Ming Dynasty in later generations, and in addition, they are ordinary relatives, these are just relatives with the royal family, and the Zheng family is one of them.
But there are no absolutes, there is a very unusual family among these ordinary relatives, even more respected than those uncles and brothers today, that is, the mother of the Empress Dowager Feng - Taishi Feng Xi, their "unusual" relatives will not offend them even if they are close relatives of the royal family, it is really because the Feng family has opened the hanging, and has married many royal clans over the years, according to the meaning of the current emperor, this kind of marriage will continue, maybe his wife in the future will also be the daughter of the Feng family.
Of course, the Feng family also came today, and there were quite a few of them, there were dozens of Feng Xi's sons and daughters alone, as well as his brothers and nephews of a big family, it was estimated that there were not a hundred but eighty or ninety. Speaking of pomp, it is estimated that in addition to the emperor, their family is the biggest!
Tuoba Shen is not close to the Feng family, and the Feng family will not have much contact with him, their family's investment is the eldest son of the emperor raised by the Queen Mother, Tuoba Sui, and the Queen Mother also made an appointment for Tuoba Shen to make Feng's daughter the concubine before her death. Tuoba Shen also consciously did not want to associate with nouveau riche like them. Anyway, according to the historical development, in the end, the successive deaths of the Feng family girls will gradually consume the feelings of the current emperor towards them, and it is better not to be involved earlier than to be affected by them. At least now Tuoba Shen's attitude towards the Feng family is that he can't be offended if he doesn't deliberately get close, as for what happens in the future, it depends on the development of the situation! After all, their family is going to have two queens, and he still has to be called "Queen Mother"! If you offend the "Queen Mother", there is a chance to send you down.
Now just now, the kings and other relatives of the emperor and the ministers are still eating porridge and exchanging feelings in the Yongning Hall, the emperor's main hall. But it's hard to say how long it will be, after all, the emperor still has to chant to the queen mother? They may also end at any time, feeling that there is not much time, Tuoba Shen can't help but speed up the pace and hurry up, otherwise it will be bad for the Zheng family to turn back.
After asking a few passers-by, I finally found Zheng's room, walked into the door, and vaguely heard the sound of conversation in the room, the sound was not loud, as if there were several people. That Zheng Niangzi didn't know if he was there, looking at the open door, Tuoba Shen didn't know whether to go in for a while, in the morning because of peeking at other people's auspicious language, he committed a taboo, and now if he goes in without notice, he will offend people even more.
I was about to shout to see him, when I heard a slightly familiar female voice from behind: "Huh! Aren't you the same Lang Jun you met in the morning? Why is it here? Sister Zheng said she didn't recognize you? ”
Tuoba Shen turned around, and it turned out to be the eldest grandson lady he met in the morning. Tuoba was overjoyed, at least knowing that he was not looking for the wrong place.
Speaking of which, the Changsun clan is also a distant sect of the royal family, but the interval is really long, almost nearly a hundred years. Therefore, most of the close relatives of the royal family do not have much contact, and the current Changsun Dao, the king of Beiping, is just an ordinary prince, hereditary according to the law, if according to the clan, the eldest grandson is not a line of Taizu, and belongs to the distant king. Could this eldest grandson girl be the family of the King of Beiping?
Thinking about these past events, I suddenly felt that the eldest grandson lady came just in time, and she could be entrusted to go in and report it.
"It turned out that it was the eldest grandson lady in person, and she came here to visit Zheng Gong. Although I don't know Mrs. Zheng below, I also have a family friendship when I talk about it. It's just the first time to visit, I can't help but hesitate, I am fortunate to meet the lady, can I ask the lady to report on my behalf? In the next million thanks. After saying that, he bowed his hand. Of course, it can't be said that visiting the little lady who has not left the cabinet is too rude, and it is not a gentleman's doing. It is said that visiting Zheng Gong is in line with etiquette.
The eldest grandson also felt strange when she heard Tuoba Shen's words, the Zheng family's sister said that she didn't know him, how could she have any origin? However, it was only a trivial matter in passing to report it, and she did not refuse, saying: "Okay! Lang Jun will wait here for a while. ”
Tuoba Shen stepped out of the way and said, "Thank you for your help." "Watching the eldest grandson enter the room, tidy up the clothes up and down, and straighten some hats that were crooked by the wind. This is an apology, and being disheveled will be seen as contempt for the other party, and this point should be noted.
Tuoba Shen stood outside for a while, and heard a voice coming from inside, in addition to the female voice, there seemed to be a male voice, like an adult, this was something he didn't expect, Zheng Xi said that he should still serve the emperor in the Yongning Palace? I don't know what the relationship between this person in the room is with Zheng Niangzi, if it is Zheng Niangzi's peer or junior, Zheng Niangzi may think that he just used the friendship between the two families as an excuse, and he will not delve into it. If it is an elder, what should I do if I ask him what his relationship is with the Zheng family? Empress Dowager Feng, the emperor, he knows Zheng Xi, of course this family friendship is true, but his identity is not easy to say. And he originally planned to apologize in person and leave a letter and leave, but he didn't think about being interrogated by other people's families.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard footsteps coming from inside the room, the voice was soft and slow, it was the footsteps of a woman.
It was Zheng Niangzi's maid Ah Ling who came out, Ah Ling came out and saw Tuoba Shen, frowned, and said, "This Lang Jun please come in, my lord Lang is invited." Then he turned and went in.
Lord Dalang, so to speak, is Zheng Xi's eldest son, Zheng Yi.
Tuoba Shen followed Ah Ling in, walked to the side room on the right side of the room, and saw a middle-aged man standing up from the sitting bed in front of him, Zheng Niangzi looked at him, her face was not happy or angry, and followed the middle-aged man to stand up on the sitting bed on the left side, and bowed to Tuoba Shen.
The middle-aged man looked to be in his forties. His face is very clear, he looks like a handsome guy when he was young, the elder has a chest-length goatee, wears a Jinxian crown on his head, and wears a deep coat.
This is Zheng Yi, but he is a beautiful bearded man. Tuoba Shen looked at Zheng Yi and thought.
Zheng Yi took a step forward and looked at Tuoba Shen, as if he was wondering if he had seen or knew an old acquaintance similar to Tuoba Shen, and at first glance it seemed a little impressed, but he couldn't figure out who it was.
It's enough to have this impression, maybe it's really an old acquaintance, right?
Tuoba Shen bowed down and saluted first: "The boy has seen Gong Zheng. He bowed to Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Eldest Sun again.
Zheng Yi simply replied, after all, he was a senior, just make a gesture, and asked, "I don't know what is the Langjun Zun Mansion?" Please also inform me that the Zheng family is also very respectful. ”
"In the subordinate country surname, the name of the family lord does not dare to speak lightly, and please forgive me one or two." After speaking, he bowed again. After thinking about it, Tuoba decided to say his surname, as for his father's name, he didn't dare to say it, it was an act of driving.
