Xingyang Zheng clan, a famous northern clan from the Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang dynasties in China, the Sui and Tang dynasties of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Boling Cui clan, the Longxi Li clan, the Zhaojun Li clan, the Fanyang Lu clan, the Qinghe Cui clan, and the Taiyuan Wang clan are known as the five surnames and seven families. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The ancestors of the Zheng family in Xingyang can be traced back to the Zheng State divided by King Xuan of Zhou, and after the destruction of the royal family, Zheng was still the surname, and the hometown of Xingyang was the county. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, starting with Zheng Hun, Zheng Tai and others who were in the same vein as Zheng at that time, it gradually developed into a high-ranking family. After the change into the Tang Dynasty, the surname Zheng is still a wang family.

Li Chengqian looked at the tall porter with a smile in his eyes, Zhong Ming Ding Food House, this is not just talking, Ming Jin at noon, play music and dance, and then gather Ding Food, although extravagant, but Li Chengqian is very envious, because this is a manifestation of etiquette, the reason why Han is different from barbarism is because Han people know etiquette, benevolence and filial piety.

The method of going to Zheng's house is very on the right track, handing over the post, and then waiting for the reply, meticulous, as if he is really going to do something serious.

"Your Highness, didn't you say that we came here to look for trouble? This post has a gift, isn't it a bit too much. ”

Li Chengqian rode on a tall horse and glanced at Yin Hongzhi, who spoke, looking indescribably solemn, Li Chengqian hated these people with five surnames and seven families, but I have to say that they should win their respect.

"Although I don't want to say it, the Zheng family, as the most prosperous branch of the five surnames and seven sects, is worthy of my admiration and everyone's admiration."

Yin Hongzhi didn't speak when he heard this, he quietly looked at Li Chengqian in front of him and shook his head, he couldn't understand what he meant, but he was the boss, he was the little brother, and the little brother should always look like a little brother.

After a while, Xuefei took the reply and handed it to Li Chengqian, looked at the crimson reply, and pursed her lips and smiled.

"Respect is one thing, treatment is another, today while the head of the Zheng family is also here, let's talk to him about our losses."

People are coming and going on the street, and those who are well-informed have already seen Li Chengqian wearing a yellow python suit, which is also strange, yesterday the prince's east palace just caught fire, and today this is coming to the door?

With the sound of the gate opening, an old man in a crimson official robe stepped out of the gate, looked at Li Chengqian standing in front of the door, first looked up and down, and then clasped his fists with both hands.

"The first king in person~ The old man has lost his welcome, forgive his sins."

Hearing the old man speak, Li Chengqian didn't dare to hold it up, hugged each other with his hands, and respectfully gave a junior salute to the old man, and then said.

"Where does Old Zheng say, the kid took the liberty to come, and it should be the kid who asks for the guilt."

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Zheng Lao's eyes lit up, and his face was quite happy.

couldn't help but nodded, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Changwen Xian is quite wise, and he knows the etiquette and etiquette, and when I saw it today, it was really a dragon and a phoenix among people." As he spoke, he said, "Your Highness, please." ”

"Zheng Lao, please~"

For etiquette, the etiquette now is nothing more than to meet and say hello, or say some compliments to each other, and the face can be passable, but the etiquette at that time was extraordinary, etiquette represents a person's quality and knowledge, to put it more seriously, it represents a person's upbringing, and rudeness was a very serious thing in that era.

The Zheng family is not big, but it is not small, the two of them traveled all the way, and the servants around them all put down their work first, bowed to the two of them, and the number of courtesies was complete, even in the palace It was rare, Xuefei was also the first time to see this formation, nervously followed behind Li Chengqian, but Yin Hongzhi on the side was secretly frightened, fortunately he was not presumptuous just now, otherwise if the old man saw it, let alone do business, it would be difficult to meet him.

The Zheng family's reception of Li Chengqian's specifications was very high, so high that Li Chengqian was a little unexpected, he glanced at the serious Zheng Lao with a sideways face, and a smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, sure enough, he was not afraid of shadows, if he really sprinkled here today, I believe that it would not be long before his rude and barbaric reputation would definitely spread.

When he arrived at the main hall, Li Chengqian personally took the things that Xue Fei was carrying and put them in the hands of the housekeeper.

"Home-brewed wine, just a small courtesy, not a tribute."

The housekeeper was reserved, meticulous in etiquette, put the gift behind him, and entered the main hall with a few people, everyone sat down, Zheng Lao first looked at Li Chengqian for a while, nodded, and then glanced at Yin Hongzhi on the side, and asked with an inquiring tone: "But the former servant shot the son of Yin Kaishan?" ”

Yin Hongzhi was stunned for a moment, kneeling and sitting awe-inspiring, and said to Zheng Lao: "The old gentleman has good eyesight, and his father is Yin Jie." "Kaishan is a word, and the festival is a sycophancy, if the elders call Kaishan in front of Yin Hongzhi, it is rude, even if Yin Kaishan is killed, it will be praised for benevolence and filial piety, but Zheng Lao is an elder and a wang clan, and it is appropriate to call Kaishan.

"Old decay and opening mountains can also be regarded as old, if you don't give up, it's okay to call me uncle."

Yin Hongzhi was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect this stubble, he was only a few years old when his father died, and he naturally didn't know much about those things, but he still had to carry it around to save face, bowed to Zheng Lao, and said: "I've seen Uncle Zheng~"

Zheng Lao nodded, and then laughed, quite happy to meet his old acquaintance in a foreign country, but Li Chengqian pouted on the side, this generation can't be counted, the more you calculate, the more confused you become.

After everyone laughed, Zheng Lao turned around and glanced at Li Chengqian, and said, "I heard that there was a fire in the East Palace yesterday, but there is a big problem at home?" ”

Old fox, this is to have guessed why Li Chengqian's trip came, so let's get rid of the matter first, your house is on fire, I heard that the loss at home is not big, and he said that he doesn't know much about this matter, fortunately Li Chengqian has been prepared, hehe smiled and said: "It's just a cool house, it can be a big problem if it is ordered by some people with ulterior motives, but I heard about some things and want to ask for proof." ”

Rather than asking for verification, it was more about asking for guilt, and Old Zheng nodded when he heard this: "The old man has also heard about the bet between His Royal Highness and the Emperor Taishang, but this matter has nothing to do with my Zheng family." ”

Li Chengqian shook his head when he heard this, although he had long known that this matter had nothing to do with him, and he came to pit the Zheng family on this trip, so he naturally had to argue three points if he was unreasonable, not to mention, the Zheng family's affairs were more than this, and the Zheng family would not admit it, but Li Chengqian did not intend to let it go, did not pave the way, squinted at Zheng Lao and then said.

"I heard that the Zheng family once had a servant named Zheng Zhi, I wonder if Zheng Lao ever remembers?"

Zheng Zhi, although this person is just an ordinary person, but his name Zheng Lao is not unfamiliar at all, just half a year ago, that person was cut off by Li Chengqian's own hands, he is a member of the Zheng family, this point cannot be refuted, Zheng Lao is not a narrow-minded villain, hearing Li Chengqian's words, he just frowned slightly, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The so-called big clan is everyone's clan, and there will naturally be some unfilial people when there are more clansmen, but Zheng Zhi is a member of my Zheng family. He also did not speak out, if His Royal Highness felt bitter in his heart, he would beat or punish the old man and bear it. ”

Li Chengqian was a little stunned, Zheng Lao's reaction was too much beyond Li Chengqian's expectations, he thought that if the Zheng family was silent, he would make a fuss, and completely say that this matter was done by the Zheng family, even if it was a hundred members of the Zheng family, it would be difficult to argue, but Zheng Lao's attitude was too rational, and the rational Li Chengqian couldn't bear to continue.

"Zheng Lao~ but he admitted it?"

Zheng Lao nodded with a smile, without a trace of embarrassment and shame, just nodded simply, and then said with a smile: "The old man knows what you mean, there is something but it doesn't matter, whatever my Zheng family can do, the old man should spare no effort." ”

This time, Li Chengqian felt a little guilty, opened his mouth, and finally closed it, even if he was a scoundrel, but in the face of this real gentleman, those hypocritical tricks were more like blasphemy to him.

"The kid has no form, this time he came to ask the teacher to ask for guilt, and the gentleman's actions made the kid ashamed."

"Haha~haha~ People often say that His Royal Highness is the first scoundrel in Chang'an City, and when I see him today, it is really better to meet than to be famous."

Li Chengqian was momentarily stunned, looking at the old man's face, his face became more and more red, not ashamed, but angry, the first scoundrel in Chang'an City, when did this name spread? Why don't I know, is it really good for you to praise me like this?

"Ahem~ Rumors, rumors, although Cheng Qian is not a humble gentleman, but he is not a villain, this time I came here to discuss a business with the Zheng family, and second, I want to borrow the Zheng family's collection of books to have a look."

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he got up and bowed to the old man, and bowed to the end, and only got up after a few breaths, and the entire hall fell silent in an instant, and at this moment, an angry roar came from the back of the hall!

"Wild! How can the Zheng family's collection of books be read by looking at it? Scoundrel, really a scoundrel! This official will enter the palace to face the saint, and he will definitely argue with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to understand clearly. ”

Li Chengqian frowned slightly, looking at the person who came, and the person himself had seen it. The Ministry of Rites, Zheng Tong, and Zheng Lao were silent for a while, and suddenly laughed, got up and said to Zheng Tong: "Tong'er retreat, the old man is talking to Xiaoyou, where did you interject!" ”

Zheng Tong glared and was about to refute, but was evaded by Zheng Lao's eyes, turned around and looked at Li Chengqian with a hint of inquiry, and said, "What do you ~ want?" ”

Ignoring Zheng Tong, Li Chengqian walked to the side of Zheng Lao, knelt on the side of the low table, stretched out a finger, wrote a few words on the table, and then turned to look at Zheng Lao, with hope and pleading in his eyes.

The old man looked at it suspiciously for a while, and after a while, he sighed, knelt on the ground, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "You, are you sure?" ”

Li Chengqian nodded solemnly, and then said: "Back then, Cai Hou created a thousand-year-old Wenchang with a piece of paper, Zheng Lao, isn't he impressed at all?" This is something that has not been done for a thousand years, if the Zheng family rises to the waves, even if the descendants are not filial, as long as this thing is still there, the Zheng family will be famous for a hundred generations! ”
