readx;
Although Thorn Yang is not far from Wuyin, but it is for adults, Deng Ai is only 10 years old after all, even if it is Zhang Calamus, to tell the truth, these are two children, they have only been gone for a day, and when the two of them were boarding in the farmer's house, they were caught up by Deng Zhi and others. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing Deng Zhi and his party, Zhang Yipu was obviously relieved, and followed a little lord who was about the same age as her, the pressure in her heart was not ordinary, and finally Deng Ai always deliberately showed a manly spirit and tried to appease Zhang Yipu, but the little girl keenly noticed that Deng Ai's little fists were always clenched, and there was a trace of stuttering in her speech.
"Uncle, uncle agreed?" Deng Ai saw Deng Zhi's posture, but he was even more nervous, after all, taking the order and arrow privately and secretly going on the road is also a big crime in the army, if Cao Peng has an excuse, it makes sense to order someone to arrest him back. But the person who came was Deng Zhi, which gave little Deng Ai hope in his heart.
Hurrying slowly, Deng Zhi finally caught up with the two children who ran away, and a big stone fell in his heart. To say that Cao Peng doesn't care about Deng Ai is a lie, if Deng Ai has any mistakes, Deng Zhi can only kill himself to repay Cao Peng and Deng Ji.
reprimanded Deng Ai with a little color, and Deng Zhi immediately announced that he would go to Jianyang to take office, Deng Ai is also a descendant of the Deng family, and he should go back to the old house of the Deng family to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.
Deng Ai cheered when he heard this, even though he had studied by Cao Peng's side for many years, and worked hard to be mature along the way, he was a ten-year-old child after all, and now Cao Peng recognized his efforts, showing the innocence that his age should have for a while.
Deng Zhi shook his head with a smile, and picked up the two children into his carriage, Deng Zhi's entourage was not huge, although he was going to work, after all, he was married to the Deng family, no matter whether Deng Zhi had resentment in his heart, he was still low-key at this time. At this time, when the main owner was found, the team did not stay anymore, and wanted to rush to Jianyang overnight, and the first stop was the old house of the Deng family.
The Deng family is a big family that rose in the era of Emperor Guangwu, and now although it is declining, it is also in the top ten super families in Nanyang, the old house is not built in Jianyang County, but in the mountain villa twenty miles away from the county seat, this mountain villa covers a vast area, thousands of acres of fertile land around, tenants and side branches live around the villa, and it has formed a town comparable to the prosperity of the county: Deng Village, in Deng Village, the head of the Deng family said that the Han family law could not come in at all, and the head of the Deng family was the emperor of the soil.
For Deng Village, Deng Zhi had a bitter hatred in his heart, but he looked at Zhuangzi in the center of Deng Village in the morning light with envious eyes, this is his complicated thoughts about the Deng family.
However, no matter how much Deng Zhi held a grudge, at this time, he was the head of the thorn and the sun was the elder, and under the premise of giving priority to official affairs, he sent someone to send a name card according to etiquette.
Although Deng Zhi's men and horses are light and simple, there are dozens of people, three carriages, and the rest are all on horseback, everyone has knives, guns, bows and arrows, although Thorn Yang is not at the forefront of the war with Liu Bei, but the forces of the two sides are staggered, who can say that Liu Bei will not send someone to smoke cold for Cao Peng's people to come at once?
This is all stopped outside Deng Village, faintly with a bad breath, frightened Deng Village hurriedly closed the wooden door, and a group of family members nervously stared at this group of guys behind the door.
Deng Village's reaction was surprisingly slow, and Deng Zhi was allowed to lead people outside the village for two or three hours, and it was past noon, and the village gate slowly opened a gap, and a housekeeper with an indifferent expression came out, and after saluting in front of Deng Zhi's car, he invited Deng Zhi to enter the village alone, and the patriarch met him in the ancestral hall.
At this time, Deng Zhi's face was pale, he was not an open-minded person, although his years of experience had made him experience a lot of this kind of human feelings, but who made this a place where Deng Village could arouse hatred in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, Deng Zhi was just about to speak, who wanted Deng Ai on his side to suddenly speak: "The Deng family is also a century-old family, a big family of etiquette, doesn't this generation even understand a little bit of etiquette?" Now that the parents of this county have come to the door in person, can't they even find a person in the clan who can be on the stage? No wonder, the Deng family will have today. ”
This is too lacking in morality, Deng Zhi is a side branch of the Deng family, and he was forced by the Deng family to leave Xinye, it is natural to be unpopular in the eyes of the patriarch, and it is impossible to order a thorny sun to go out of the village, but Deng Zhi was stunned to despise the Deng family, saying that no one in the Deng family was a weapon, and he didn't dare to come out to see people.
The housekeeper is also a figure with some status in Deng Village, and his ancestor is a distant branch of the Deng family, who usually feels good about himself, but at this time he was directly ignored by a child, and his face was as angry as a monkey's ass, you and you pointed at Deng Ai for a long time, and finally remembered that today's main owner was Thorn Yang Ling, and turned to Deng Zhi and asked: "Deng Gongmiao, even if you return to your hometown, you are still a member of the Deng family!" ”
After saying that, the housekeeper turned around and went back to Deng Village. After a while, the village gate was opened, and a group of people lined up at the door, and the first three of them looked at Deng Zhi and a group of people with arrogant faces, and the meaning was obvious: You don't want to save face, today face is given to you, you kid come in, as long as you enter the village, you are still the Deng family, see how to clean you up.
Deng Zhi looked at Deng Ai with a wry smile at this time, this kid is really the ancestor who caused trouble, I want to win over the Deng family, but I don't want to tear my face, it's okay now. Alas, let's take it one step at a time.
Deng Ai didn't seem to see Deng Zhi's expression, so he jumped out of the carriage before Deng Zhi, and after giving an order to his entourage, he walked to the crowd proudly.
These people were obviously rewarded, and a middle-aged man sneered and reprimanded Deng Ai: "Deng Gongmiao asked me to wait for the ceremony, and now he actually sent a doll, haha, such a person who has no respect for the elders is also worthy of being a descendant of my Deng family?" Wait a minute, I will report to the patriarch, and Deng Gongmiao will be removed from the family tree......"
Deng Ai Yiran was not afraid, and without waiting for the man to finish speaking, he immediately replied arrogantly: "My surname is Deng, my single name is Ai, my father is the official worship of Dongjun Taishou, my maternal ancestor is the imperial court Fengche Hou, the official worships the Liangzhou Thorn History, my uncle is now the imperial court worships Nanyang Taishou, who are you, dare to call me a doll?" ”
The middle-aged man's name is Deng Ci, and Deng Ji is the same generation, at this time, Deng Ai's naked father was so angry that he almost turned his back on it, but the Deng family has not produced any outstanding talents in recent decades, and the biggest official work happens to be this Deng Ji, following Deng Ai's train of thought, he can really anger everyone in the Deng family.
"Okay, very good," Deng Ci took a few deep breaths, "The patriarch is waiting for you two outstanding 'descendants' at the ancestral hall, please." With that, he turned around with the other two and left, leaving only a group of Deng villagers looking at each other outside the door.
Deng Zhi was already stimulated by Deng Ai's unexpected performance, so he simply didn't show up, and let Deng Ai walk into Deng Village with a large team of attendants Shi Shiran in the carriage.
The ancestral hall of the Deng family is in the deepest part of the villa, of course, those entourages were stopped outside the villa, Deng Zhi took Deng Ai, wrong, it should be said that Deng Ai took Deng Zhi and walked in in countless jealous and hateful eyes.
There were more than 100 people standing above the ancestral hall, and Deng Wei, the patriarch of the Deng family, was sitting in the middle, looking at the two "excellent" descendants who suddenly appeared with an unkind face.
Just before Deng Zhi came, a guest from Wancheng came to the Deng family. He came to visit Deng Jun and Deng Hui, who were the same generation as Deng Wei, and gave them a lot of gifts, asking them to come forward to help lobby in the Deng family.
The ten major clans of Nanyang have remained reserved so far, as if outsiders are looking at the performance of the two Nanyang Taishou coldly. The relationship between the ten major clans is complicated, as long as one is willing to stand up and support one side, it is likely to form a domino effect, and the Nanyang clan twists into a rope and squeezes the other party out of Nanyang.
Liu Bei's envoy has been active in the Deng family for a while, although Deng Wei did not express his position, but some people in the Deng family are very moved. Seeing Cao Peng's envoy today, Deng Ai and Deng Zhi, who were very unceremonious, would have any good faces.
When he arrived at the ancestral hall, Deng Ai lost his arrogance just now, and saluted Deng Wei respectfully according to the etiquette of the children of the clan. Without waiting for him to speak, a child of the Deng family said in a strange manner: "Yo, this is the outstanding descendant of the Deng family, you finally thought of going home to worship your ancestors?" ”
Deng Ai stood aside and kept silent, Deng Zhi shook his head and smiled bitterly in his heart, and after stepping forward to salute Deng Wei, he simply followed Deng Ai's appearance just now, and directly put forward two conditions to Deng Wei, including the name of Deng Zhi's lineage in the Deng family branch, and listing the family tree of Deng Ai's name and branch.
As soon as these words came out, the children of the Deng family were in an uproar. Those who can stand here are the descendants of the Deng family, Deng Ai's father is not qualified to stand here, if Deng Ai is included in the branch, Deng Ji must also be included, which is undoubtedly to show the attitude of the Deng family to the entire Jingzhou.
Compared with Liu Bei's envoy's humility and courtesy, Deng Zhi was so direct and rude, which immediately angered Deng Jun and Deng Hui, Deng Hui stood there and scolded: "Deng Zhi, you are just a child of a distant branch, and you dare to point fingers at the patriarch, don't think that if you become a thorn yang order, the Deng family will be respectful to you?" The Deng family's family law can also deal with you, the imperial court, hum ......"
It is no wonder that Deng Hui is so arrogant, the most important family in the era of the Three Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, especially the family with a background, the family law is higher than the law of the imperial court, and the clan uses lynching, and even the imperial court is helpless.
Deng Jun didn't lose his temper so much, he stood there and said leisurely: "The Deng family's century-old inheritance, how can the family name be ruined because of two rude descendants, it is better to remove the two from the family tree to warn other descendants." ”
Deng Wei is a mediocre person, if he is not old enough to be old enough, he will never sit in the position of the head of the Deng family. Today's matter is a little difficult, he did not receive the benefits sent by Liu Bei, and he was very dissatisfied with Cao Peng's unexpressed attitude, but he also understood that Liu Bei respected him so much today, it is precisely because of the current situation in Nanyang that only if Nanyang continues to split, the families of Nanyang will reap more and greater benefits.
However, Deng Zhi's performance today has forced Deng Wei into a corner, and he must express his position no matter what.
Although Cao Peng is now the Taishou of Nanyang, although Cao Cao is now powerful, the Deng family is a century-old family, and the family name and relationship network handed down from Emperor Guangwu can not be underestimated. When Deng Zhi was disposed of, he immediately sent someone to Wancheng to contact Liu Bei, believing that he would be very willing to send troops to protect Deng Village.
After calculating in his heart, Deng Wei coughed dryly and ordered: "Come on, tie up the unfilial son Deng Zhi for me, put him in the dungeon, and send him to Wancheng tomorrow." Banish that Deng Ai! ”
Deng Zhi was not surprised at all after hearing this, since Deng Ai was so strong, this result had been determined, but he was not afraid, behind him stood Cao Peng, he believed that as long as Cao Peng was there, he would not have any danger to his life, and this trust was constantly instilled in him by Deng Ji.
Deng Ai was not too surprised, he was a member of the Deng family, but since he was reprimanded by Cao Chong, he really saw the face of the family, everything is false, only hard fists are the true truth. If you don't show your absolute strength, the Deng family will definitely not express your position.
Seeing Deng Zhi being tied up like a rice dumpling by a wolf-like family, Deng Ai was ruthless in his heart, and next time he came to Deng Village, he must have his uncle step here.
At this moment, the butler who had just gone out to greet him rushed in with a panicked face. Seeing him come in, Deng Weideng's face was ugly, what kind of place is this, a housekeeper broke in without permission, and it was too unruly.
The housekeeper didn't care about these at this time, and grabbed Deng Wei's sleeve: "Patriarch, no, it's not good, there are soldiers outside, a group of soldiers with white camels, who have blocked the village gate!" ”
