Zheng Yanqing later learned that this Zheng Shanguo was the son of Zheng Yi's brother. With the help of Zheng Yi's relationship, Zheng Shanguo has now just stepped down from the position of Yizhou Assassin and has been promoted to the right Guanglu doctor, whose status is far higher than that of Zheng Dashi.

But in front of Zheng Dashi, Zheng Shanguo is just a junior.

Even if he is a descendant, he must be respectful in the face of his clan uncle whose official position is smaller than his.

The 'Yuan Concubine' mentioned by Zheng Shanguo is the wife of Yang Yong, the prince of Sui.

In the history books of later generations, Yang Yong, the prince of Sui, was quite sympathetic, saying that his surname was gentle and had the style of an elder. It's just that I like luxury.,Some greedy for women.。

Zheng Yanqing didn't believe this statement.

Since ancient times, kings have been defeated. Li Tang seized Yang Sui Jiangshan, so naturally there will be some whitewashing. Emperor Yang of Sui, as the king of the fallen country, will inevitably suffer slander. Then as the opponent of Emperor Yang of Sui, Yang Yong would naturally be beautified. Otherwise, how can Li Tang's great achievements be highlighted? What's more, this "Book of Sui" came from the hands of the Tang people......

Yang Yong doesn't like Concubine Yuan, it's been a long time.

Later, it was interesting to take Yun Zhaoxun as a concubine, and even left the original partner behind.

Concubine Yuan is also from an aristocratic background, how can she stand this kind of neglect. Coupled with physical reasons, he finally died suddenly due to heartache.

The Zheng family of Xingyang has always supported the crown prince Yang Yong.

Although they don't know what the outcome of Concubine Yuan's death will be, the people of the Zheng family are keenly aware of the slightest mishap.

Emperor Wen of Sui's wife is Queen Dugu, a woman surnamed love and jealousy.

I think that Emperor Wen of Sui started his family, most of them had the support of Queen Dugu's family, so he also obeyed Queen Dugu's words.

Yang Yong is greedy for women, and he was not loved by Queen Dugu in the first place.

Concubine Yuan was chosen by Queen Dugu for Yang Yong, and her death will definitely cause a conflict between Queen Dugu and the crown prince. What's more, Yang Guang, who is now the king of Jin, has returned to Chang'an from Jiangdu and is eyeing the position of the crown prince.

Therefore, the death of Concubine Yuan will definitely cause a turmoil.

And the Zheng family must take precautions, analyze and judge, and make the right choice.

Guichang Gong Zheng Shanyuan invited Zheng Dashi over at this time to discuss this matter......

However, for Zheng Yanqing, what kind of choice the Zheng family makes, he can't participate, and he can't afford to participate in it.

After a few days, Zheng Yanqing got the household registration and officially settled in the Zheng family.

——————————————————

As Zheng Yanqing thought, the death of Concubine Yuan opened the prelude to the struggle between Yang Guang, the king of Jin, and Yang Yong, the crown prince.

And the Zheng family also had huge differences in the choice between Yang Yong and Yang Guang. Zheng Shanyuan, the patriarch of the Zheng clan, strongly advocated continuing to support the crown prince Yang Yong. Zheng Dashi and Zheng Shanguo think that Yang Yongzhi is talented and sparse, and he has evil Queen Dugu, and he is afraid that he will be more auspicious. The most important thing is that although Yang Yong has always assisted Yang Jian in doing things, he is far inferior to Yang Guang, the king of Jin, in terms of prestige. Even with the support of important ministers such as Gao Ying, He Ruobi, and Shi Wansui, they are still not Yang Guang's opponents.

Counting Yang Guang's side, there are also capable people like Yang Su and Han Baohu.

Moreover, Yang Guang had the merits of conquering Nanchen, especially during the period of garrisoning Jiangdu, and recruited a large number of famous people from the Southern Dynasty. Yang Guang himself is also scheming, and he is very loved by Queen Dugu, Yang Yong is afraid that it will be difficult to sit on the throne of the prince.

These two results more or less produced the internal division of the Zheng family.

Zheng Shanguo and others began to look for opportunities to make friends with Yang Guang, while Zheng Shanyuan continued to blatantly support Yang Yong.

In October of the twentieth year of the emperor's reign, that is, the third year that Zheng Yanqing came to the Zheng family, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Guang abolished Prince Yang Yong and his children as concubines. In November, Yang Guang, the king of the Jin Dynasty, became the crown prince, and in the following year, he changed his name to Yuan Renshou, ending the three-year-long dispute for the crown prince.

The Zheng family was not too significantly affected in this battle.

Although Zheng Shanyuan stood on the wrong team, Emperor Wen of Sui did not blame him too much, but named Zheng Shanyuan's two brothers, Zheng Yuanxuan and Zheng Yuancong, as the Duke of Chenggao County and the Baron of Yong'an. In the eyes of the Manchu civil and military, the Xingyang Zheng clan seemed to be more favored.

"If you want to take it, give it first!"

Zheng Dashi said to Zheng Shi'an in private: "I am willing to support the prince, but I have hated the queen and the king of Jin, but I am afraid that it will not last long." ”

Regarding Zheng Dashi's point of view, Zheng Yanqing agreed in his heart.

It's just that Zheng Yanqing can't focus on this kind of thing now, because he has a lot of things to consider.

The fate of the Zheng family has its own Zheng family's heart.

Hundreds of years of family gate valves, of course, will have their means of self-preservation.

In the blink of an eye, Zheng Yanqing was three years old. If you follow the method of calculating age according to the Sui Dynasty, he is actually five years old.

Because of Zheng Shi'an, although Zheng Yanqing is only a slave of the Zheng family, he lives a very comfortable life.

Zheng Dashi chose a house in Anyuan Hall and gave it to Zheng Shi'an. It is a long and narrow courtyard type, the area is not large, but the supporting facilities are very complete. Walking from the main gate to the inside, there is a middle hall, a backyard and a main bed. There are two porch houses on the east and west sides, which can also be used for living and keeping livestock.

Mother Xu's mother and daughter live in the porch house in the front yard.

Zheng Yanqing's concern also comes from Xu's mother and daughter.

Xu's mother is no longer a wet nurse.

After Zheng Yanqing was weaned, Zheng Shi'an asked Xu's mother to stay in his house.

Sewing and mending, washing and shabu...... In Zheng Shi'an's view, although Zheng Yanqing is weaned, he is still young after all and needs to be taken care of.

And Zheng Shi'an's status in the Zheng family is extremely special. Don't look at him, he is also from a cheap background, and he is a slave of the Zheng family. But in Anyuan Hall, except for Zheng Dashi and Zheng Renji's father and son, Zheng Shi'an has the most rights. Even if Zheng Renji continues to be the daughter of the Qinghe Cui clan who is married, it is also very shrewd, but it is not easy to replace Zheng Shi'an's position in An Yuantang.

Therefore, Zheng Yanqing is also from a cheap background, but he is very happy in Anyuan Hall.

The reason why he was interested in Mother Xu's mother and daughter was because he found that there were many secrets hidden in Mother Xu's mother and daughter.

One day in March of the first year of Renshou, Zheng Yanqing, dressed in white, sat on the steps at the door of the middle hall and watched Duoduo dance in front of the hall. Duoduo is eight years old, perhaps because of the martial arts training, and her body developed very early. is only eight years old, but he is very tall, a head taller than Zheng Yanqing, and he is even more slim, looking like a little beauty embryo.

Duoduo's boxing is not very complicated.

With his eyes firmly fixed on his palms, his punches seem to be slow, but when he closes, they are lightning fast.

One is collected and one is released, one is fast and one is slow, unpredictable, resulting in an extremely strong visual conflict. Zheng Yanqing is not the first time to see Duoduo practice boxing, in fact, as early as two years ago, he discovered the secret of Duoduo's martial arts. Because of this, he had a stronger curiosity about Xu's mother and daughter, and guessed more than once about the origin of Xu's mother and daughter.

"Sister Duoduo, what are you practicing for?"

Zheng Yanqing didn't know martial arts in his previous life, but he was extremely curious and yearning for martial arts.

Isn't there such a saying: In every man's heart, there is a martial arts dream......

Even if the surname is love, but there is no one like Zheng Yanqing, it is no exception. In the past two years, he often sat on the steps to watch Duoduo practice, and Duoduo, from the rejection at the beginning, to the current habituality, has long ignored his existence.

"Dragon Descending Gong!"

Duoduo replied casually.

Now, she is no longer the little girl who drew a knife at every turn three years ago. There is not so much hostility towards Zheng Yanqing.

She also knew that Zheng Yanqing was a very eccentric little guy.

He is not as active as children of his age, and most of the time, he is as quiet as an adult. For example, this boxing practice, ordinary children will definitely not be able to endure the surname, even if it is Duoduo, practicing boxing every day feels boring.

But Zheng Yanqing often sat for most of the day, watching her practice boxing.

If there is nothing to do, he will take a small stick and write and draw on the sand in the backyard, looking a little lonely.

But Xu's mother was very interested in his behavior, and even asked Duoduo to practice with him.

Therefore, Duoduo doesn't have a good impression of Zheng Yanqing, but he can't say that he hates it. I just feel that when I am with Zheng Yanqing, although it is a little boring, I can also be in a peaceful mood. It's an amazing feeling, and it's hard to explain.

"Dragon Descending Gong?"

Zheng Yanqing asked as if he was understated: "Sister Duoduo, where did you learn this skill?" ”

Xu's mother was not at home at this time, and Zheng Shi'an was waiting for Zheng Dashi in the study of Anyuan Hall, and Zheng Yanqing would only ask at this time.

"Hmm...... It will be from a young age. ”

Duoduo's answer also seemed to be very casual, but his tone was very tight, and he didn't reveal any information.

But Zheng Yanqing still got some news: Duoduo's background will not be too low!

As the saying goes, the poor are rich and martial.

Poor families don't have much means, so they can only rely on reading to find a way out; People who can practice martial arts, if they want to wash the marrow and cut their hair, it costs money in all aspects, and ordinary children, even if they want to practice martial arts, they can't pay the expensive fees.

In the three years of the Zheng family, Zheng Yanqing has heard and understood many things, and of course he knows the meaning of this sentence.

Duoduo wiped his face and sat down beside Zheng Yanqing.

After practicing, she sweated a lot, but there was a faint girlish body fragrance in the sweat, maybe it was what people often called 'fragrant sweat'.

"Xiao Xiucai, you watch me practice all day, do you want to learn?"

Because Zheng Yanqing likes to write and paint, Duoduo jokingly calls him 'Xiucai'. This show of talent originally meant a person with extraordinary talents, but later, it became a kind of fame.

Duoduo said: "I have heard people say that a man's husband should lift a three-foot sword and seek fame. Look at you, you have nothing to do all day long, you know how to get ahead in the future if you write and draw on the ground with a branch in your hands, and you have no power to tie the chicken? It's better for me to ask you to practice. Maybe one day, it will come in handy. But I don't know, can you endure hardship? ”

Between the words, there is a sense of contempt.

Compared with the emphasis on literature and light on martial arts in later generations, the style of martial arts in the Sui and Tang dynasties was quite prevalent.

has just experienced the chaos of China, the division of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, even those families who have inherited their family from history must pay attention to both civil and military. As far as the Zheng family is concerned, the scriptures are written in the hall, and the Anyuan hall is about martial arts. Zheng Dashi's ancestor, Zheng Lianshan, started with martial arts, and later there were Zheng Xianhu, Zheng Wei, Zheng Ding and others, all of whom were brave and martial arts, and were famous in the north and south of the river.

Zheng Dashi is also good at riding and archery, and when he was young, he could ride a fierce horse and shoot a strong bow.

It's just that when he arrived at Zheng Renji, because of his poor physique, he changed to specialize in the art of war, but it still belongs to the category of martial arts.

Zheng Yanqing was a little moved.

He knew that after the great cause, there would be troubled times.

It is also a good way to learn a skill to defend yourself. I remember the early Tang Dynasty, but it was an era of famous generals.

It's just that he doesn't know what he can practice.

"Sister Duoduo, can I also practice martial arts?"

"Why not? You're only five years old, which is a good age to practice martial arts. As long as you can endure hardships and persevere, you will definitely be able to practice. ”

Zheng Yanqing thought about it and pretended to be naïve: "Then I will practice too!" ”

"Xiao Xiucai, practicing martial arts is not an easy task, in addition to the exercises, there must also be various medicines...... It costs a lot of money, so you'd better discuss it with your grandfather to see if he's willing to let you practice martial arts. If your grandfather is willing, I can prepare you some pills. It's just that the cost of equipping the elixir is very staggering! ”

Duoduo's face showed a little fox-like smile.

That tone was quite seductive, which made Zheng Yanqing a little more careful.

"Sister, is it expensive to practice martial arts?"

"Of course, there is a way to build a foundation for a hundred years, refine qi for a thousand years, turn into a god for ten years, and Jiazi is still empty. Each of these steps must be based on a large amount of money. It's just to build a foundation, if you're lucky, you can succeed, but if you're unlucky, you may not have results in ten years. Not to mention that after the foundation is built, it is necessary to change bones, tendons, and marrow...... Every step comes at a great cost.

When I used to practice martial arts, ha...... The master who taught me the dragon descending gong said that martial arts training requires qualifications, but it is even more important to persevere. Therefore, qualification and tenacity account for six, and the remaining four points, money is three...... Chance is important, but if you don't have the support of money and lay a good foundation, you can't think of practicing and achieving success. These four are indispensable, do you understand? ”

Duoduo smiled brightly and spoke in a gentle tone.

After living together for three years, Zheng Yanqing rarely saw Duoduo speak in such a tone.

Of course, Zheng Yanqing's surname inherits the previous life, which is a little cold, and believes that 'the friendship of gentlemen is as light as water', if it is not a close friend, it is difficult to have too close contact. On the other hand, the origin of Xu's mother and daughter is a little weird, which makes Zheng Yanqing have to be cautious. Duoduo is not a girl who is easy to get along with, so although everyone lives under the same roof, they rarely talk cordially.

Duoduo's sudden change made Zheng Yanqing a little more careful.

However, he is good at disguising, and he is a child, even adults can hardly notice the change in his mind, let alone Duoduo is only seven or eight years old, how can he see the clues? The more she smiled and spoke kindly, the more careful Zheng Yanqing became.

"Duoduo, have you finished building the foundation now?"

Duoduo first showed a look of pride, and then shook his head lightly, "Originally, I could have completed the foundation building two years ago and entered the stage of refining qi and changing bones. But...... Xiao Xiucai, I'm not stupid, it's just that I'm delayed because of the conditions! ”

This little girl doesn't really want to teach herself to practice martial arts, I'm afraid she wants to use her own convenience to complete the foundation building kung fu.

Who is Zheng Yanqing?

Although Duoduo tried her best to be careful, she was still seen through by Zheng Yanqing unconsciously.

Come to think of it, when Duoduo entered the Zheng family, she was in the stage of building a foundation. The reason why he hid into the Zheng family was because of the purpose of hiding on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was probably forced by the pressure of life. How much income can a slave have? It's enough to ask for food and clothing. But Duoduo wants to practice, lay a foundation, need medicine assistance, and have no money, how can he succeed?

"Sister Duoduo, without the assistance of medicine, is it difficult to complete the foundation building?"

Duoduo shook her head, "That's not it...... Master said that you can break through with perseverance, but the sooner you finish it, the better, because the older you get, the harder it will be to break through. If you pass the best age of refining qi and bones, you will never want to reach the realm of a grandmaster in the future. ”

It was the first time Zheng Yanqing had heard such a statement, and couldn't help asking, "Then in today's world, who is the great master?"

was originally an ordinary question, but it made Duoduo a little impatient.

"Xiao Xiucai, what are you asking so much for? You just have to tell me, do you want to learn dragon descending skills from me? ”;
