At noon, the temple of Yongning Temple

Tuoba Ke sat in front of the desk, holding a wooden spoon in his hand, and drank the porridge in the wooden bowl without taking a sip. didn't dare to make a "purring" sound, squinted his eyes while drinking, and secretly looked at Tuoba Shen, and didn't even dare to clamp the side dishes in front of him, for fear that the action would be too big and attract the angry eyes of the second brother.

Tuoba Shen is writing a letter according to the case at the moment, and he, who can usually write smoothly, feels that this letter is really difficult to write now, and there are already seven or eight pieces of paper on the side of the case that are written by him. He had been busy with this since he entered the fasting room.

Sensing that Tuoba Ke always peeked at him from time to time, Tuoba Shen, who was still full of anger, had disappeared a lot after more than half an hour. It's no wonder that he talked about this matter today, he did everything he could, and in the end he lost such a big face by mistake, which was purely self-inflicted.

There was a "bang", Tuoba Ke, who lowered his head, was startled, put down the spoon, looked at Tuoba Shen and muttered, "Second brother, ......."

Tuoba Shen put the brush in his hand on the pen stand, put the letter that he had racked his brains to write on the right side to dry, took the cardboard prepared next to him and folded it, and then folded it with a dagger to make the kind of folding envelope in the later life, this kind of envelope he had done in his previous life, and he often did some things that he could do in his past life to make memories of his past life when he had nothing to do over the years. This kind of folding envelope is done very quickly, and after it is done, Tuoba Shen writes "Respectfully sealed Zheng Niangzi personally opened" on the front. Looking at these words, Tuoba was stunned.

He doesn't want to recall how he walked out of the pagoda now, he just feels that the moment when the truth was discovered by Zheng Niangzi's master and servant, he was really ashamed of himself, if he was discovered by an adult, he could still fool the past by virtue of his young age, but in the face of a little girl, and obviously a little girl with a good family education, he had no other way but to apologize seriously with an adult soul. Fortunately, the little lady just said a few words lightly, and did not reprimand him harshly, and took her maid out of the pagoda after speaking. Tuoba Shen remembered that he looked at the back of Mrs. Zheng blankly, and finally Tuoba Ke called him a few words before slowly walking out of the pagoda.

sighed, put the envelope aside, and then baked the written letter on the charcoal stove for a while, and after it was dry, he sealed it in the envelope, and after sealing it with a dagger dipped in a little porridge pulp, he had a headache how to send it.

"Third brother, you go to play by yourself in the afternoon, be more careful, don't have a conflict with others, if it's boring, go to the eldest brother, and I won't accompany you as a brother." Pressed the sealed envelope with something and said to Tuoba Ke.

Tuoba Ke was continuing to drink porridge, listening to Tuoba Shen's words, there was no anger in his tone, he put his mind at ease, and replied: "Second brother, I'm fine in the afternoon, this Yongning Temple is also the first time to come, I don't know where to go, or follow you?" The eldest brother doesn't know where either. ”

"No need, I still have something to do for my brother, I can't take care of you, don't you still have a few floors of Yongning Tower?" In the afternoon, Tuoba made up his mind to act alone, and he would not even take Lu Guang with him, let alone this pit goods. Moreover, if Mrs. Zheng refuses to accept his letter, wouldn't she be embarrassed again. This kind of thing is not impossible, after all, writing a private letter to someone's unmarried lady, although the content is nothing unsightly, but if people have concerns, it is normal not to accept it. If this happens, you can't let Tuoba Ke know.

Tuoba Ke saw that the second brother's tone was resolute, so he had to dispel the idea of following the second brother, he was now weak, he had just caused trouble in the morning, and he didn't dare to say anything more about playing together.

Tuoba Shen casually ate a little hot porridge and felt that his body was warm and drank a lot. Today is the Queen Mother's fasting day, and only porridge and some side dishes are prepared in Yongning Temple, and those guests have to eat this today.

After eating the porridge and sitting for a while, looking at the drip leakage, Tuoba Shen got up and quit Tuoba Ke, and then instructed him a few words before leaving the fasting room.

Tuoba Shen, the royal family's residence in the whole temple layout is in the middle, and there is some distance from the ordinary room, and I don't know where the Zheng Niangzi's room is, so I can only find it first.

Of course, you can't look for it aimlessly, there are hundreds of fasting rooms here, which are reserved for large-scale ceremonial activities. These hundreds of rooms are divided into several classes, like the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen, all of whom have special halls, and sometimes you can come here to live in the palace, and these halls are the same as the specifications in the palace. The second part is for the royal relatives and the king with a different surname to live, the specifications are worse, like his dining room, it will not be so magnificent, but all kinds of household items will not be lacking. Again, some of them are the dining rooms of ordinary officials, they are not relatives of the state, so even if they are high-ranking officials and eunuchs, they are generally the same, but the emperor will deliberately give special treatment to some ministers close to him and who are old, such as Li Chong is this kind of minister with special treatment.

These rooms are divided according to rank, so it is not difficult to find people, provided that you know who you are looking for, otherwise these hundreds of people, you can't ask them one by one, then everyone knows it!

Tuoba Shen now only knows that the little lady's surname is Zheng, and he doesn't know who her family name is, which is a bit troublesome.

Speaking of the Zheng family, the first thing that comes to mind is the Xingyang Zheng family in the five surnames and seven sects of the later generations, the Xingyang Zheng family started from Zheng Hun of Cao Wei, and the general of the official Jiuqing will be a master craftsman. During the Western Jin Dynasty, Zheng Chong of the Zheng family was the Taifu of the Eight Princes.

In the Yongjia Rebellion, the main force of Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea who was in power at that time, was chased and killed, and almost all the upper echelons of the Western Jin Dynasty were wiped out in one fell swoop, and some of the sons and daughters of the high-class gate lords crossed the river one after another. The Zheng clan of Xingyang also declined with the fall of the Jin dynasty, and although the scholars who stayed in the Central Plains were also appointed by Zhuhu, they were far from being compared with the Western Jin Dynasty. The Zheng clan is also one of these declining clans.

The rise of the Zheng family again is the fact that in the nineteenth year of Taihe in the future, the family name was edicted and listed as the first Han surname.

But that's later, the current patriarch of the Zheng clan is called Zheng Xi, because he is an old acquaintance with Li Chong, he married Li Chong, and his second son Zheng Daozhao's wife is Li Chong's daughter. Li Chong recommended him to Empress Dowager Feng, and the Zheng family was able to recover, and Zheng Xi was transferred from the Western Yanzhou Assassin to the secretary supervisor (the first governor of the secretary province) a few years earlier. The secretary and supervisor were important ministers, and Tuoba Shen had met Zheng Xi several times, and heard that this old man was a well-known miser and greedy for money. None of this is to talk about, but more importantly, he also has a daughter who entered the palace as a fifth-class concubine (the fifth class in the harem, and the lowest class. His daughter, Tuoba Shen, had seen her many times in the harem, but she hadn't said much.

These stories about the Zheng family in Xingyang flashed through Tuoba Shen's mind. But now it is not of much help to him to find Zheng Niangzi, then Zheng Niangzi may not be the Xingyang Zheng family, even the Xingyang Zheng family may not be the Zheng family's origin.

After thinking about it for a while, Tuoba Shen decided to try his luck first, maybe that Zheng Niangzi was from a big sect, and he could waste less time, if not, he could only go to the official door. At the point where he had no choice, he didn't want to go through the relevant departments to find that Zheng Niangzi, which was likely to cause trouble to others.
