The moon rises in the east, hanging in the lonely sky.

It was a moonlit and starry night, and the wind was soft, stirring a few floating clouds into various shapes.

Pei Shuying sat in the room of the Bishui Guan Post House, holding a painting in her hand.

The woman in the painting is slim and graceful.

She reclined in front of the window, a few blooming begonia flowers seemed to be swaying in the wind, and she dragged her pink cheeks thoughtfully.

In the corner of the picture, a few lines of poetry are written.

Jiangzhou has beautiful colors, and Qilou is green and cloudy. The eyebrows are bright and the moon is bright, and the smile is full of joy. I am often afraid of the green grass late, and I sit and cry in the autumn wind and cold. The slender hand complained about the jade qin, and sighed early in the morning. A couple of gentlemen, ride a double flying luan.

The payment is: On the third day of the second month of the fourth year of the great cause, Zheng Yanqing and his aunt gambled on the horse and returned, painting and writing poems to compensate for the gambling money...... In the horse race, Yanqing did not win.

Is it really impossible to win, or is it impossible to win, and you don't want to win?

Zheng Yanqing himself couldn't say clearly. Anyway, in the end, he lost. Since you lose, then admit defeat and accept defeat.

After arriving at the Bishui Guan Post House in the evening, Zheng Yanqing suddenly had a whim and proposed to paint Pei Shuying. Everyone in the world knows that half of the king, the fairy in wine, and the poetry and books of the goose son. But when it comes to painting, it has never been revealed.

In fact, when Yanqing was an official in his previous life, he was located in the Central Plains, although it was a little backward, but in terms of calligraphy and painting, it could definitely be ranked first in the country. The Central Plains has deep cultural roots. In the Central Plains, there are countless famous calligraphers and painters. Yanqing is good at calligraphy, so he has a lot of dealings with the Central Plains Calligraphy and Painting Association. There is a saying that calligraphy and painting are not separated, and Yanqing is indeed inferior to calligraphy in terms of painting. But under the influence of ears and eyes, this basic skill is still very solid.

In the bamboo garden for four years, in addition to reading, occasionally two graffiti strokes.

However, most of them are cleaned after painting, so even if they are as close as Xu Shiji, they don't know that Yanqing can still paint.

Of course, Zheng Yanqing does not have the ability to take Wu to be the wind.

It's just that after a long time in this era, this painting has also improved. So much so that Pei Shuying in the painting is vivid and vivid.

Pei Shuying looked at the woman in the painting, her eyes gradually became blurred......―――――――――――――――――――――――――――― the next day, Pei Shuying unexpectedly did not ride a horse with Zheng Yanqing.

Instead, he changed into a long skirt and boarded the carriage. Zheng Yanqing is also not easy to ask the reason, since she did this, there must be her reason. Besides, this place is only half a day away from Xingyang, and it is reasonable for Pei Shuying to change to a carriage.

"Pei Zi."

"What do you command?"

"You set off now, rush to Xingyang, inform the Zheng clan in Xingyang, and say that I will pass through here and go to visit."

As soon as she got out of the Bishui Pass, Pei Shuying immediately ordered to go down.

Maybe in the eyes of the world, Pei Shuying is just a weak woman. But in the eyes of the clan lord, Pei Shuying is not only a member of the Pei clan in Hedong, but also Pei Shiju's favorite daughter. She visited Xingyang on the way, and the meaning was naturally extraordinary.

What's more, now is the time when the Zheng family's internal strife is critical, does Pei Shuying's appearance carry the will of the Hedong Pei family in it? Or rather, what is Pei Shiju's attitude towards Zheng's internal struggle? Who would he like? Will he help? It is likely to affect the results of the Zheng family's seven rooms against An Yuantang.

Pei Shuying's fanfare made Yanqing's heart very grateful.

At noon, the carriage came to the ancient capital of Xingyang.

Since Pei Shuying came in a private capacity, Xingyang officials did not take any action. On the contrary, it was the Zheng family who sent a large number of people out of the city to greet them. Zheng Shanyuan Zheng Shiji, the elders of the various clans, naturally cannot appear, because this is related to the issue of identity. However, they still sent important people from each room to welcome them.

Taking the scripture hall as an example, Zheng Shanyuan did not come, but his brother Zheng Yuancong went out of the city to greet him on his behalf.

Zheng Yuancong enjoys the title of Yong'an Baron, and he is also Zheng Yi's sister-in-law, so he came forward and did not lose the face of the Pei family at all; And An Yuantang shot [***] as a representative...... Of course, Zheng Sai On was also in the welcoming team.

"Pei Niangzi has worked hard all the way!"

Zheng Yuancong stepped forward quickly and greeted Pei Shuying.

This can also be said to have given the Pei family enough face. After Pei Shuying got out of the car, she bowed slightly, "Shuying took the liberty to visit, and asked Mr. Zheng to forgive him." ”

"There, there, if Pei Niangzi passes through Xingyang and doesn't enter, then it's a real reproach."

Everyone greeted each other in the city for a while, but at this time, he was blocked by a group of Zheng family generals, and no one noticed him. However, Zheng Shi'an found Yan Qing's jade hoof...... Zheng Shi'an is very familiar with this white dragon horse. When he was in Zhuyuan before, he also helped Yan Qing walk his horse, so he recognized Jade Hoof at a glance.

But how could Jade Hoof be here?

Since it's here, what about Yanqing? Could it be that Yanqing is also here?

Zheng Shi'an subconsciously glanced at the crowd, his eyes widened suddenly, and he was extremely surprised in his heart. Because, he saw Zheng Yanqing hidden in the crowd. Even if someone is in the way, you can only see one side. But after ten years of dependence, if Zheng Shi'an can't even recognize his grandson, then he is really blind.

He didn't shout, since Yan Qing did this, he must have a reason.

But the doubts in my heart are very deep...... What does Yan Qing mean by this? Why hide your head and tail?

"Which one is Mr. Zheng Shi'an?"

Pei Shuying suddenly asked.

Zheng Shi'an was stunned and looked around blankly. He came to make soy sauce, where would he think that Pei Shuying actually asked him in public?

Not only Zheng Shi'an was a little confused, but others, including Zheng Yuancong, were also puzzled.

"Uncle, Miss Pei called you."

"Ahh Zheng Shi'an was reminded by the person next to him, so he reacted, hurriedly stepped forward, and arched his hand: "Zheng Shi'an has seen Miss Pei." ”

Zheng Yanqing also saw Zheng Shi'an!

I haven't seen him for a few months, Zheng Shi'an seems to have gained some weight and looks good.

He seemed to understand Pei Shuying's intentions at once. On the road before, he had told Pei Shuying his thoughts, but he didn't expect Pei Shuying to use such an obvious way to fuel his plan.

Pei Shuying is blessed, but it is the understanding of the younger generation to the elders.

"My niece has seen Uncle Zheng."

Zheng Shi'an was even more confused, and waved his hand again and again: "Miss Pei, where did this start?" ”

"Your grandson Yanqing is the brother of my nephew Yuanqing.

If he calls me aunt, then I will naturally call you an old man. The niece came this time because she was entrusted by Yanqing to come to visit. Grandpa Zheng, Princess, the little girl said today, let's rest in Uncle Zheng's mansion...... Early in the morning, the little woman had to rush back to Luoyang. Lao Zhugong came to greet her, and the little woman thanked her father on behalf of her family! ”

I know why you came out to greet me, in fact, I just came to see Zheng Sai On, and I didn't mean anything else.

Zheng Yuancong and the others' faces couldn't help but change slightly, and they all looked at Zheng Shi'an.

Subconsciously, Zheng Shi'an puffed up his chest.

Although I don't know what kind of medicine Zheng Yanqing sells in this gourd. But this kind of gaze that is valued by everyone, he enjoys it very much. Even if he entered the Zheng family tree, Zheng Shi'an's status was not very high. Especially after returning to Xingyang, no one particularly respects him. Even if those slaves verbally called him Master Zheng, even if Zheng Renji rewarded him with hundreds of hectares of land, in the hearts of most people, especially those of the Zheng clan, Zheng Shi'an was still a house slave.

But now...... Zheng Shi'an's heart couldn't help but feel a little proud.

The expressions of the representatives of each room were different.

Although I don't know the twists and turns in this, the ecstasy in my heart is floating on my face.

Recently, Anyuantang has been under too much pressure, and even including [***], they are a little unsure, can Liufang keep Anyuantang's status? Now, Pei Shuying is here, and she clearly shows her relationship with Zheng Shi'an.

Zheng Shi'an is a member of An Yuantang's clan!

This will greatly alleviate the pressure on An Yuantang.

"Since Miss Pei is entrusted by my nephew Yan Qingxian, then I will not make any other arrangements...... Uncle Shi'an, please entertain Miss Pei. ”

[***] has never called Zheng Shi'an an uncle, but now, he is called very kindly.

Zheng Shi'an couldn't help but feel flattered. But it was only a blink of an eye, and his waist straightened up.

Grandma, don't you look down on me?

But I have a good grandson, who among you can compare! Take a look, even the eldest lady of the Pei family has to respect me uncle...... "Pei Niangzi, please come here." ”

"Please uncle, please board the car, let's go together."

Pei Shuying lived like a virtuous little daughter-in-law, and helped Zheng Shi'an into the carriage.

At the same time, people give way to a pathway. Pei Shuying and the others said goodbye to everyone, and then the group slowly entered the city.

"Damn, this is making the old gelding slave tremble."

Someone cursed in a low voice.

But many more hurried back to their homes.

[***] pretended to be calm and bowed hands to Zheng Yuancong, "Third brother, the younger brother has to go back to Yu Ming, so I will leave." ”

It can be said that An Yuantang can be regarded as raising his eyebrows today.

Even if Pei Shuying didn't go to An Yuan Tang, her choice of Zheng Shi'an was equivalent to choosing An Yuan Tang. In this way, those who are still watching from the sidelines, swaying from side to side, should think about it. This is not at all harmful to An Yuantang.

Seeing [***] leave, Zheng Yuancong and the representatives of the seventh room were pale.

"Third uncle, that stinky......"

A nephew from the seventh room stepped forward to speak. But before he finished speaking, Zheng Yuancong slapped him with his backhand, "The dignified daughter of the Duke of Wenxi, is it allowed for you to talk nonsense?" has the ability, studied Zheng Yanqing, and has a good reputation in Luoyang. People rely on their true skills, they have won the cloud cavalry captain, and they are favored by the Pei family, and they also worship under the door of the eldest grandson, what are you? ”

The face of the nephew of the seventh house who was beaten was high and swollen, but he didn't dare to complain.

"Shize, go back at once and report to your brother; I'm also going back to report to the head of the family, it seems that An Yuantang still has a future. ”

Zheng Shi is Zheng Shiji's brother and the representative of the seventh room.

Hearing Zheng Yuancong's instructions, he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly walked to the city with the Qifang clansmen.

Looking at his back, Zheng Yuancong showed a sneer.

"Third master, let's go back too."

"I'll go back and tell the patriarch about the situation here, you go to the eldest brother's side, and say that tonight, I will meet him in the old place."

Zheng Yuancong's eldest brother is named Zheng Yuanshou, and the two brothers are Zheng Yi's sisters-in-law.

And Zheng Shanyuan is actually a concubine, but when Zheng Yi left, Zheng Yuanshou and Zheng Yuancong's brothers were still young and couldn't take on heavy responsibilities. In addition, the imperial court was also suppressing the Kwantung clan, so he chose the steady Zheng Shanyuan to take over the scripture hall.

Akari, the scripture hall is a group of harmony.

But in private, Zheng Yuancong's three brothers are hugging each other, Zheng Shanyuan is in charge of the scripture hall, and Zheng Yi's son, that is, his nephew Zheng Shanguo, is equivalent to a faction of its own. Zheng Shanguo is now the right Guanglu doctor, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the person with the highest official position and the most important person in the seven rooms of the Zheng family. So whether it is Zheng Shanyuan or Zheng Yuancong's brothers, they are helpless against Zheng Shanguo. Even if he was very dissatisfied with him, he had to rely on Zheng Shanguo.

Zheng Shi'an lives in a secluded place in the southeast of Xingyang County.

Although Zheng Sai'an's status is not high, Zheng Renji is not slacking off at all.

Others don't know, but Zheng Renji's family knows too well what a demonic grandson Zheng Shi'an has. Not to mention that Yanqing, poetry and books are unique, and they enjoy a high reputation in Shilin Qingliu. But it was only by virtue of the fact that in the twenty-eighth battle of the lunar month last year, he was named the cloud cavalry captain, and he also became the youngest one since the establishment of the eighth lieutenant of the emperor. Whether anyone can break this record in the future, Zheng Renji does not know. But in the past 100 years, there has never been a person like Zheng Yanqing.

More importantly, the network around Zheng Yanqing is getting stronger and stronger.

Let's take a look at the contestants in Ju Battle...... Two Hedong Xue clans, one Hedong Pei clan, one Henan Dou clan, plus one Kip Shi Yao clan. Combined, the amount of energy generated by these people is staggering. Not to mention that behind Yan Qing, there is now an eldest grandson.

Therefore, Zheng Renji was very attentive to the placement of Zheng Shi'an.

His residence is a three-entry mansion, adjacent to Donglin Lake, and the scenery is particularly moving.

Not far from Zheng Shi'an's residence, there is also a Donglin Temple that was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the incense is also very vigorous.

For an old man, this arrangement is indeed very appropriate.

If it weren't for Zheng Yanqing not being around, Zheng Shi'an would not even pursue anything. There were no servants in the dwelling. It's not that Zheng Renji ignores it, but Zheng Shi'an doesn't want it. He didn't want to get a bunch of guys who were respectful on the surface but chewed their tongues behind the scenes. Fortunately, Yanqing sent Mao Xiaonian to take care of his daily life, so he said that he was doing well.

Now, in addition to Mao Xiaonian, there is also an additional nursing home in this house, which is Shen Guang.

The vehicle stopped at the gate of the house, and Zheng Shi'an walked into the courtyard with Pei Shuying's support. But as soon as he entered the courtyard, Zheng Shi'an stopped.

"Pei Niangzi, please let that little guy in.

It's all my people here, don't worry about anyone seeing it......"

Pei Shuying grinned, "Uncle Zheng, let's go into the house and talk." ”

Then, she turned her head and rushed to Zheng Yanqing, who was leading two horses and two little mastiffs at the door, and said, "Little ghost, you can come in too." ”

"Young Master?"

Mao Xiaonian happened to come out of the main hall, first saw two familiar little mastiffs running over, and then saw Zheng Yanqing leading the horse in, and was stunned for a moment.

Zheng Yanqing smiled slightly, "Grandpa, you go into the house to talk...... Brother Shen, let me settle the horses. ”

When Shen Guanggang saw Zheng Yanqing, he was also surprised.

But after all, he is a person who has seen a lot of the world, and he is better at hiding his surprise than Mao Xiaonian.

"The stables are here, please come with me."

Zheng Yanqing nodded, led the horse, and went with Shen Guang. At the same time, the three of them also walked into the house, and under Mao Xiaonian's arrangement, they moved all kinds of salutes into the wing. Zheng Shi'an was completely confused, he couldn't figure out what trick Zheng Yanqing was doing. If you can't hand over the horses to Shen Guang for placement, why do you have to do it yourself?

Pei Shuying said, "Uncle Zheng, let's go into the house and talk about it." ”
