After paying tribute to the martyrs, Zheng Chenggong finally returned to Zheng's mansion with the guard battalion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Dong You stood at the door early with several sons and Zheng Chenggong's concubine and waited.

As soon as he saw Zheng Chenggong, Dong You said happily: "Husband, you're back!" ”

Zheng Chenggong saw his family, his originally serious face melted, and he said with a smile: "Well, I'm back." During this time when I was not at home, I have worked hard for you! ”

Dong You hurriedly said: "These are what concubines should do, not hard." Husband, you are tired from running around for days, hurry up and take a bath, and then worship your ancestors! ”

Zheng Chenggong nodded, in the past, Dong You's personal maid served him when he bathed, but Zheng Chenggong had many concubines.

These things were also robbed by the concubine, and today it was Shen Ruoxi's turn.

After Shen Ruoxi gave birth to a little fat man weighing eight pounds and six taels last year, her body became more plump and moving.

Looking at Shen Ruoxi's light belly pocket and tender eyes, Zheng Chenggong's anger for months finally broke out.

After a big battle in the gentle pile, he finally launched all the essence that had accumulated for many days.

Putting on brocade clothes under Shen Ruoxi's service, Zheng Chenggong easily walked into the lobby of the Zheng Mansion and led several sons to start the Chinese New Year's Eve ancestor worship!

After a tedious ceremony, Zheng Chenggong said, "Open the meal!" ”

The children, who were already hungry, immediately grabbed it.

Zheng Chenggong poured a slow drink, looked at Zheng Ming, Zheng Rui, Zheng Zhi, and Zheng Kuan grabbing food at the dinner table, and couldn't stop smiling.

Dong You saw that several people were making trouble and wanted to scold, but they were all stopped by Zheng Chenggong.

It's true that the family is lively and lively, and they are all silent with a straight face, isn't it bitter.

Among the children, the youngest Zheng Kuan is just over a year old and has just learned to walk. just play with Zheng Zhi and Zheng Rui all day long.

Several of them are still young and do not understand the world of adults. The relationship between them, who don't understand the interests yet, is extremely good, although they will also have conflicts with each other over grabbing a toy.

But children, they don't hold grudges, and they will play together soon after the trouble.

Watching the little ones quickly take a few bites of food, they quickly ran to set off fireworks.

Zheng Jing and Zheng Cong have been in school for a few years and have grown up, and their interest in fireworks is not as great as before.

They continued to sit here with Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong looked at his eldest son Zheng Jing and said, "Jin'er, you are 14 years old after the New Year, drink some bars with your father!" ”

In modern times, you can only drink alcohol when you are eighteen years old, but in ancient times, people were more precocious. Some are already married and have children at the age of fourteen or fifteen, let alone drinking at the age of fourteen.

Zheng Jing nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, father!" ”

Zheng Cong heard it and said, "Father, Cong'er also wants to drink!" ”

Zheng Chenggong immediately shouted with a straight face, "No, you're still young!" ”

Zheng Cong heard that Zheng Chenggong was not allowed, and his face was bitter.

Zheng Chenggong looked at him and pulled his mouth, laughed, stroked his head and said, "Okay, don't be angry." Two years, two more years, and your father will allow you to drink! ”

Hearing Zheng Chenggong say this, Zheng Cong was a little happier.

touched the wine glass with Zheng Jing, and Zheng Chenggong drank it all.

Zheng Jing followed his father's example and poured it in.

Zheng Jing, who drank for the first time, was suddenly choked by Zheng Chenggong's 38-degree sauce-flavored liquor brought back from Moutai Town, Guizhou, and coughed repeatedly.

Zheng Jing's tears were choked out, and his face turned red.

Zheng Chenggong laughed when he saw it, "You kid, the first time you drank it, you were so fierce!" You deserve to suffer, come, drink some soup. ”

Zheng Chenggong hurriedly filled him with a bowl of soup, and Zheng Jing hurriedly picked it up and drank it all.

After drinking a little thick soup, Zheng Jing felt better. He said, "Father, this wine is so spicy and choking, why are you all so happy to drink it!" ”

Zheng Chenggong said with a smile: "You'll know if you drink too much in the future, now you're young, drink slowly, don't be in such a hurry!" ”

Zheng Chenggong poured him another glass, Zheng Jing learned to be smart this time, and tasted it in small sips.

Zheng Chenggong looked at his eldest son and said, "Jin'er, several of your teachers have praised you for being **** studious, and you are very happy for your father!" ”

Zheng Jing hurriedly put down the wine glass, stood up and arched his hand and said, "The teacher has praised it, Jin'er still needs to learn more." ”

Zheng Chenggong grabbed Zheng Jing and asked him to sit down, and said, "The family doesn't need so much courtesy. I'm glad you work your studies. Although my father also studied in his early years, both my father and your grandfather started out in the military. You are my eldest son, and I need you to undertake all my future careers. Therefore, you must understand military affairs in order to control the arrogant soldiers of the army. After the Chinese New Year, prepare for your father to let you study at Nanjing Military Academy for a few years! ”

Zheng Jing was surprised when he heard that his father was going to arrange for him to study at the Military Academy, but he nodded and agreed.

Zheng Chenggong looked at Zheng Jing and couldn't help but think: Jin'er, I hope you can understand the hard work of being a father. Train well at the military academy and get to know a few talented people who can help the ground by the way. In this way, in the future, you will inherit my career, and you will have a few helpers, and you will not fool those veterans and ministers.

Zheng Chenggong did not explain these things, but it was not yet the time for Zheng Chenggong to personally instruct.

There are some things that he needs to experience for himself to understand.

Teaching by hand will only make Zheng Jing lose the ability to think independently.

After arranging Zheng Jing, Zheng Chenggong turned his head to Zheng Cong and said, "Cong'er, how did you go to Gewu Academy to study?" As a father, I heard that you are naughty in it! ”

Zheng Cong immediately exploded and shouted: "That guy beat me for a little report!" Father, don't listen to their nonsense. I'm serious in it. ”

Zheng Chenggong said with a smile: "Then who caused the fire last month and almost burned down a school!" ”

When Zheng Cong heard this, he immediately became restrained, and said around his little finger: "Cong'er didn't mean it, Cong'er just wanted to know how powerful the steam engine proposed by his father was, but he didn't expect the water in the pot to be burned out and the furnace was fried!" ”

Zheng Chenggong touched Zheng Cong's head and said, "Father didn't mean to blame you, but you should pay more attention to safety when doing experiments." ”

Seeing that his father didn't blame him, Zheng Cong immediately became interested and said: "Father, don't you know that there are a lot of fun things in that Gewu Academy, there are flying hot air balloons, there are wooden barrels that can dive, and there are also steamers that can automatically rotate when they are added to the fire, which is fun." ”

Zheng Chenggong deliberately said with a straight face: "Cong'er, go to Gewu Academy, don't just care. At the end of the semester, if you fail the exam, your father will have to serve with a bamboo whip! ”

Zheng Cong heard it and said with a sad face: "Yes, father! Cong'er will definitely study hard in the future! ”

Zheng Chenggong smiled and pinched Zheng Cong's face with baby fat, and said with a smile: "You little ghost! (To be continued.) )
