"Childe, the slaves and maids are coming in now." Zheng Zhi heard a crisp young male voice, and she reflexively retracted her leaning body back into the bed. Bai Ziyi looked back at Zheng Zhi funny, got up and put on a coat and went to the outside room to wash, leaving Zheng Zhi alone in the inner room.

After a while, a housekeeper appeared in front of Zheng Zhi, walked over with a washbasin, and squeezed her eyes smaller with her chubby face when she laughed, "Miss Zheng is awake, the old servant has come to serve the girl to wash." Zheng Zhi recognized that this was the mother-in-law who wore pearl earrings last night.

"Thank you, mother, what do you call your mother?"

"Why is the girl so polite, the old servant's surname is Sun, the eldest son usually calls me Mother Sun, I also grew up watching the son, he ordered everything last night, just wait for the girl to wake up." Mother Sun laughed so hard that her earrings swayed from side to side, although she verbally said that Zheng Zhi was polite, but when she mentioned the eldest son's attitude towards her, she could not hide it. Zheng Zhi politely thanked Mother Sun after washing.

This Bai Ziyi is really strange, most of the young men who serve around them are young maids, and Bai Ziyi's side is either a little girl or a mother-in-law.

After packing up and going out of the outer room, I didn't see Bai Ziyi again, only that some exquisite side dishes and porridge had been placed on the small table. Zheng Zhi was eating slowly and methodically, thinking about how to arrange the rhetoric after returning to the county government. The night was easier than expected. Although Bai Fu is a wealthy businessman, this Bai Ziyi does not have the vulgar habits of ordinary businessmen, but still has the temperament of a scholar.

After breakfast, the sedan chair of the county government was already waiting outside, and Zheng Zhi didn't see Bai Ziyi again when she left.

Back at the prefect's mansion, Zheng Zhi told Zheng Jiangde what had already been arranged, and Zheng Jiangde didn't ask much, but emphasized that Zheng Zhi would wait for the marriage with peace of mind.

Back in the courtyard, Huang was already anxiously waiting outside the door. Seeing Zheng Zhi, he immediately sighed: "Zhi'er, why are you so confused!" cough cough cough ......" Huang had a pair of red almond eyes, coughed and couldn't breathe, and his face was red.

"Mother, don't worry, take a sip of tea first." Zheng Zhi patted her mother's back distressedly to help her breathe. Looking at this situation, my mother probably already knew.

The nurse heard the movement at this time and walked out with the tea, served the Huang family to drink, saw Zheng Zhi looking at her meaningfully, and said softly: "Last night, Mrs. went to Miss's room to bring chicken soup to Miss, but she didn't see Miss in the room, so she searched for someone for a long time. At this time, the magistrate came and brought a lot of good medicinal herbs and supplements. Mrs. became suspicious, but the magistrate said that Miss wants him to come forward to help you set a family business, and the adult thinks that his clan brother will go early, and he also hopes to find a good family to take care of Miss. From this point of view, I still think that the eldest son of the Bai family is good, saying that he will be the family of the Bai Mansion on the rich side in the future, and he will not suffer a loss with him. also said that the young lady could still be a companion with Zheng Rui to take care of each other in the past, which is very good. “

Zheng Zhi sneered in her heart after hearing this, Zheng Jiangde, the old fox's kung fu of reversing black and white, is really good.

"Mother, when my daughter is older, she naturally wants to get married, the Bai family is the richest businessman in Nanzhili, and the eldest son of the Bai family is handsome, and he will be in charge of the family in the future, this is a good family matter." Zheng Zhi said as softly as she could.

"You are going to marry when you are old, then your mother can give you a kiss, why let that ill-intentioned Zheng Jiangde call the shots for you, even if the Bai family is a good family, but how can I let my daughter be a concubine?" Huang finally left tears in his eyes.

Zheng Zhi endured her sadness and barely supported the corners of her mouth; "I am marrying Zheng Rui with this time, we can take care of each other, and she will naturally not wronged me. The mother is not in good health now, and her daughter doesn't want you to worry too much about her daughter's affairs, and Zheng Jiangde is a magistrate anyway, he comes forward to call the shots, and others will not despise his daughter. ”

Huang's red eyes seemed to see through her thoughts: "If you are compromised for my sake, my mother will not allow it, and we will not wait for this county government." Mother, I'll take you away. Saying that, she grabbed Zheng Zhi's wrist and wanted to walk out, Huang's thin hand had clear phalanges, and green tendons faintly appeared, although she was already very hard, Zheng Zhi could still clearly feel her weakness.

Zheng Zhi was distressed and had to beg with a crying voice: "Mother, I entered Bai Mansion last night, and I am Bai Ziyi's person, I can't go back." ”

Huang was stunned on the spot for a moment, and then the whole person seemed to have been drained of all his strength, squatting on the ground to hide his face and cry. Zheng Zhi hugged her mother and cried bitterly, as if she wanted to vent all the suppressed fears of these days. The nurse on the side was crying and muttering about the bitter young lady.

It was late at night when Zheng Zhi comforted Huang, and Huang still had tears on his face when he slept. Zheng Zhi looked at her mother's appearance and thought to herself that after she got married, she couldn't let her mother worry anymore.

The next six months flew by. The scenery outside the window of the small courtyard changes from the buds of early spring to the lotus flowers of midsummer, and from the lotus flowers of midsummer to the maple leaves of late autumn. As the weather gets cooler, the marriage between the Bai Mansion and the prefect is also imminent.

On the seventh day of the winter month, it is advisable to marry, open the market, pray for blessings, meet relatives and friends, and form networks.

On this day, the lights were lit up at the entrance of the county government, and the servants were all ready to look forward to it. This day is the wedding day of their young lady, and the only concubine of Zheng Rui in Zhixian County. Of course, by the way, it is also the day when Zheng Zhi, the daughter of a distant relative of Lord Zheng, marries as a concubine.

The greeting team soon arrived at the county magistrate's mansion, and Zheng Jiangde went out to greet Bai Ziyi after the ancestral hall at home according to the courtesy.

Zheng Rui is wearing a red coat and a crown today, and her gorgeous appearance is even more charming and plump after being dressed, and the whole person is like a raging fire, trying to attract the moths that are devouring the fire. Zheng Zhi only wore a refreshing pale pink back today, the pink dress and the white skirt were as long, although it was simple, the skirt was smart and elegant when she walked around, but it seemed that her temperament was ethereal and outstanding.

Since Zheng Zhi came back from her trial marriage, Zheng Rui has treated her normally, neither for the better nor for the worse, and has not asked her anything about Bai Fu or Bai Ziyi.

Zheng Zhi felt that the arrogant Zheng Rui was actually not satisfied with this family business, but Zheng Jiangde's shaved head was hot.

At this time, Bai Ziyi, who was already waiting outside, wore a black gauze round-necked regular dress, and his air was magnificent, and he greeted his future father-in-law Zheng Jiangde, and after the salute was closed, he rode on a high-headed horse and waited for his "brides".

Zheng Jiangde looked at the young son-in-law sitting on the horse, Sven's handsome face, his eyes were dark and deep, he looked ancient but resourceful, and the sun at this time shone on Bai Ziyi's body, making his whole person look shining.

Zheng Jiangde smiled with satisfaction when he saw this scene, and laughed from the bottom of his heart. Worldly people can't see the future of Baifu and Bai Ziyi, but he has foresight. Daughter, no matter what you think now, you will thank your father for choosing this family business for you in the future......

In the crowd of the welcoming team, Zheng Rui was first led to a sedan chair, and Zheng Zhi then sat on a small sedan chair. Zheng Zhi is a clan woman in the end, and her status is still higher than that of ordinary concubines.

After playing all the way to celebrate, when we arrived at Kashiwafu, it was almost dark.

Bai Mansion is still in charge of Bai Lao, but in recent years, many businesses have begun to be transferred to Bai Ziyi. Master Bai has two sons and one daughter, in addition to the eldest son Bai Ziyi, there is also a second son Bai Ziren who is studying outside and a third daughter Bai Zifei who is only waiting to be married. Master Bai has only one wife in his life, Pang Zi, and his three children are all born of Pang Zi. But Pang died five years ago, and Master Bai did not continue the string, but only accepted a concubine Qian.

After all the ceremonies in the middle hall were completed, Bai Ziyi stayed in front to entertain the guests, and Zheng Rui and Zheng Zhi were introduced to different mansions. The courtyard given to Zheng Rui is called Qiutang Courtyard, and the house where Zheng Zhi is located is called Tinglan Courtyard. When Zheng Zhi looked up and saw the beautiful word Tinglan on the plaque of the house, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Tinglan, Tinglan...... Shore Zhi Tinglan? Is this a coincidence?

Walking to the door, a girl who looked fourteen or fifteen years old greeted her and said respectfully: "The slave maid is called Xiaolan, and she will be the big girl next to the little grandmother in the future. ”

Zheng Zhi took a closer look at this girl, and saw that her eyebrows were delicate, and her smile and white teeth were very pleasing.

After Zheng Zhi entered the house, Xiao Lan served Zheng Zhi with some food and snacks, and then began to look out of the door. Zheng Zhi found it interesting and asked her what she was doing.

Xiao Lan stepped forward with a smile and said embarrassedly: "Let's see if the eldest prince will come to our yard tonight, if he comes, Xiao Lan should prepare early."

Zheng Zhi said: "There is no need to prepare tonight, the eldest prince must accompany his cousin on the wedding night." Xiaolan, you can wait for me to wash up and sleep. ”

Xiao Lan answered in a low voice, and after waiting for Zheng Zhi to fall asleep, she left quietly.

After a while, Zheng Zhi slowly opened her eyes in the dark, looked at the swaying shadows reflected in the window, and sighed softly, the sigh was almost inaudible, so light, so depressing.
