After the ugly hour, lightning flashed and thundered.

A transparent heavy rain, intermittent, lasted for more than an hour. By dawn, the rain had weakened and was dripping.

Zheng Yanqing slept very comfortably, got up early in the morning, pushed open the bamboo window, and a fresh wind poured into the building.

I moved my body and felt very uplifted.

At this time, Mao Ya walked upstairs with a basin of water and put it in front of Yan Qing. Zheng Yanqing finished washing up and ate a little something. Then put on a pair and walked out of the bamboo building with a bamboo umbrella in hand. The white dragon horse is running among the bamboo forests, the thin rain silk, like fog, the sound of the horse's hooves is crisp, looming. Standing on the porch, it is like being in a fairyland.

Mao Wang's daughter-in-law led the green donkey over and helped Yanqing to sit down.

Zheng Shi'an had already gotten on the horse, and after seeing Yanqing sitting firmly, he said softly: "Are you ready?" ”

Yan Qing smiled, "Grandpa, let's go." ”

Jingle bells, jingle bells!

The bell in the neck of the green donkey rang, and the grandfather and grandson gradually faded away in the drizzle, only the sound of the bell seemed to echo in the garden.

Two heads, one large and one small, poked out of the window of another bamboo building.

"Brother Du, aren't we going to watch the battle?"

Dou Fengjie didn't go home last night, so he lived in the Bamboo Garden Retreat.

However, he was worried that he would affect Yanqing's preparations, so Du Ruyan arrested him early and took him to his residence to rest.

Du Ruyan opened his mouth wide and yawned.

"What's there to see?

Yanqing won, and he won; Lost, or won.

From the day he issued his battle letter, he had the upper hand. Today's battle is just a matter of how it ends.

If you win, you will reap better; If you lose, you will get something ugly...... Instead of running to join in the fun, it is better to stay at home and wait for news. Okay, I'm going to sleep a little longer, don't bother me anymore. You guy, I couldn't sleep last night. ”

"It's obviously your tossing and turning, what does it have to do with me?"

Dou Fengjie also yawned, and his little head retracted into the bamboo building.

Neither of them went to the General's Hall to watch the battle, but the reasons were different. Dou Fengjie has an almost superstitious worship of Yanqing, so he firmly believes that Yanqing can defeat Wang Tong; And Du Ruhui is not very optimistic, after all, Wang Tong's strength is there, he really doesn't think that Yan Qing can defeat Wang Tong in the middle of the experience, and he can't bear to see Yan Qing's loss.

The drizzle was drizzling, and there were traces of water mist floating in the field.

The weather was a little cool, and Zheng Shi'an subconsciously wrapped his clothes tightly.

Looking to the side, I saw Zheng Yanqing sitting leisurely on the back of the green donkey as if nothing had happened, watching the pastoral scenery twice.

"Yanqing, are you sure?"

Zheng Yanqing smiled, "How can you be sure, it's just to respond to the situation."

It's good to win, but it's not bad to lose. Anyway, I have already agreed with Third Brother Zhang, this document has been established, why should grandpa panic? ”

Zheng Shi'an said: "I'm not worried about the shop, I'm worried about your ......"

"Me?" Zheng Yanqing said, "I'll be fine." I am fourteen years old apart from that Wang Tong, he won't be glorious if he wins, and I'm not ashamed if I lose. Besides, the teacher said before he left that I have been in the limelight lately. It is not without benefit to use Wang Tong's hand to press it. Anyway, I also want to be quiet, and when this matter is over, I am ready to go into the mountains with Brother Du for a while, and I have the right to adjust my mood. Grandpa, don't worry about me, my grandson will be fine. ”

Zheng Shi'an thought about it and felt that there was some truth in what he said.

That's right, this time, after the toss before Yanqing, even if Wang Tong wins, he won't get any benefits.

On the contrary, if Yan Qingruo really loses, it is not without benefits.

He's been so famous lately that he's in need of a loss to cover it up. Anyway, the Xiongji shop has been successfully transferred to the hands of the Zhang family, and Zheng Shi'an has entered the background from the front of the stage, and he can be a rich man at ease from then on.

In short, it's good for everyone.

Of course, if Zheng Yanqing can win, of course it is the best.

But in his selfish heart, Yanqing was not sure that he could defeat Wang Tong...... Not to mention the gap of more than ten years, the most important thing is this foundation. Even if Yan Qing had a forty-year soul, for this era, the things he had learned in his previous life were not of much use. At least, he was not like Wang Tong, who was familiar with the Pentateuch.

After the test, it was set in the General's Hall, which is the hall number of the Dou family.

When the Dou family was in the Han Dynasty, there were several great generals, so the name of the general hall also shows the tradition of martial arts.

Whether it is the three ancestors of the Dou family, or Dou Yi and others, they all started with martial arts.

There is a row of stone carvings displayed in front of the hall, there are those who immediately cross the knife, and there are those who lie on the ground with a gun, all of which are the merits left by the ancestors of the Dou family.

Entering the General's Hall, there was a murderous aura coming from the shop.

In the main hall, there are more than a dozen people sitting, and in front of the hall are two bookcases, on which are pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

The rain flowed down the eaves, washing the ground under the steps into a gray and white color, revealing a dignified atmosphere.

Zheng Shi'an did not go in, but watched Zheng Yanqing walk into the gate of the General's Hall.

There were many people gathered outside the door, including scholars and scholars, as well as high-ranking officials and nobles. But more often than not, it's the ordinary people who come to see the excitement.

Zheng ...... Shi'an! ”

Suddenly, someone called Zheng Shi'an.

Zheng Shi'an followed the sound and saw a carriage under the steps near the gate.

There was a bamboo umbrella erected on the car, and the blue satin umbrella was hanging low, sliding the rainwater out of the car. Under the umbrella, Zheng Renji and Yan Shigu were sitting and beckoning to Zheng Shi'an. Next to the car, there were Xu Shiji and Zheng Hongyi standing respectfully.

Zheng Shi'an wondered in his heart: Why did this boy take the initiative to greet him today?

However, he did not stop at his feet, and hurriedly walked to the front of the car.

Even if they are separated from each other, how many years of waiting for the Zheng family have made Zheng Shi feel at ease and still have a little respect for Zheng Renji.

Zheng Weishan also stood on the side and smiled at Zheng Shi'an.

"That...... How prepared is Yanqing? ”

In terms of seniority, Zheng Renji should call Zheng Shi'an an uncle.

But let him call it that, it's really embarrassing for Zheng Renji. Just now, he almost blurted out Steward Zheng, but now that he and Zheng Shi'an looked at each other face to face, he had no choice but to give up the title and ask softly.

Zheng Sai On can also understand Zheng Renji, and he will not expect Zheng Renji to truly recognize him as an uncle.

In fact, in the entire An Yuan Hall, I'm afraid no one will recognize his identity. Even Zheng Dashi is the same.

It's already a great blessing to let you return to your ancestors!

"Eldest son, I never ask about Yanqing. You also know that I can't ask about this ability. ”

Jung In-ki smiled a little awkwardly.

"By the way, what's the business on Sledgehammer's side? I've heard people say, but it's hot. ”

"The blessing of the ancestors of Tolie is quite passable...... The sledgehammer is good at craftsmanship and takes things seriously. With the help of old neighbors, he finally gained a firm foothold. However, this matter has nothing to do with me anymore. ”

Zheng Renji was stunned, "Why?" Didn't you invest a lot of money? ”

"Eldest son, I'm a businessman. It's just a matter of helping out earlier...... Besides, I'm getting older, and I can't keep up with this spirit. It's okay to say that it's okay to be busy. During this time, I often miscalculated the accounts...... The people of the Zhang family in Wu County came over, discussed with Xiongdahammer and decided to run it at their expense.

The little master was also there that day, and the people of the Zhang family came over to discuss this matter.

I only account for half of the profits now, and every year, I can also have a profit of 1,800 yuan, and I am satisfied. ”

Jung In-ki was stunned!

"Did the Zhang family take over Xiongji? How much money was paid? ”

"In addition to returning the thousand guan that I had lent them to the big hammer before, another ten thousand guan were put in to enlarge the façade."

Zheng Renji really doesn't know much about this business.

I heard that the Zhang family's shot was 10,000 yuan, and I could only sigh that this Zhang family was rich and extraordinary. As for the scissors business, he didn't look at it. An Yuantang has a lot of business under his name, and the income of tens of thousands of yuan a year really doesn't look down on Zheng Shi'an's hundreds of yuan. He just regretted it for a moment and stopped asking about it. Xu Shiji, who was on the side, seemed to pay a little more attention......
