"A guard who can fight?"

Luo Shixin received a little strange news from Zheng Liwan, Chang'an is not far from Xingyang. One is in the national capital, and the other is near Luoyang, the capital of the country, which can be said to be at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and there are not many people who dare to blatantly commit crimes at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

He didn't know that because of him, the Zheng family was prosperous, but he also paid attention to it, and knew that the Zheng family had been running recently, not only moved into the magnificent mansion, but also invited many domestic servants. With the current strength of the Zheng family, a trip to Xingyang should be safe. There was no need to ask him specifically for a guard, and he specially added these three words that could be beaten.

This had to make Luo Shi's confidence suspicious: did she go to Xingyang to fight, or what was she doing?

He thought about it and called Mo Hu'er, and selected twenty brave men from his own direct guards in the Xiao Guard, and asked them to follow him to Xingyang.

In fact, in terms of guards, Kratos is the best candidate, and one person is enough to be a hundred. But he is honest and cute, his intestines are as straight as the airport, he doesn't know how to be flexible, and now he can't tell what is a joke and what is the truth.

Not long ago, something like this happened, Luo Shixin was working in the official residence of Youxiaowei at the time, and he also had something to ask Kratos to ask him a few words. When the two were talking, there was a sudden burst of barking dogs from behind, interrupting Luo Shixin's words.

It's that people have a little bit of intermittent forgetting, Luo Shixin interrupted this, forgot what he wanted to say for a while, and couldn't help muttering: "Damn beast, if you call again, I'll secretly slaughter you, make soup and drink." ”

As a result, the other party screamed very unceremoniously.

Luo Shixin said casually at the time, who has nothing to do when he is full of food, he will be more serious with a dog.

But Kratos is more serious. He really secretly killed the big yellow dog behind him when no one was around, and then brought it to Luo Shixin.

The official residence of the right guard is located on the right side of the imperial city, and directly behind him is the official residence of the right guard. And the general of the right guard is the eldest princess of Pingyang, who is also Sikong, the governor of Youzhou, and the Shangzhu State.

Although the big yellow dog was not raised in Pingyang, he stayed in the Right Guard Mansion for five years and was the treasure of the former Right Guard General. Because of the unexpected death of the previous right guard general, the big yellow dog is the object of the army's longing. Binh Duong also has great respect for it, although it is a dog, it is a symbol.

As a result, Kratos slaughtered ......

At first, Luo Shixin didn't think there was anything wrong, thinking that since he was dead, he was dead. Just stewed it, and called Mo Hu'er Su Dingfang and them, the old yellow dog of six or seven years. The taste is still good.

Before the results were carried out, the soldiers of the right guard came to the door and asked them if they had seen the big yellow dog.

Luo Shixin kept an eye on it and said that he didn't see it. I inquired about the meaning of the big yellow dog. couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, if this spreads, it may cause a contradiction between the right guard and the right guard.

decisively gave a gag order behind his back, and he didn't want to eat it, so he buried the big yellow dog behind his back.

After this incident, Luo Shixin couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately he said "secretly" at that time, otherwise it would be dangerous......

Kratos is a figure who sees killing and death as commonplace. As long as there is a directive, whether it is justified or not, whether it is moral or not. Let him kill whoever he wants, and he won't frown. People who are not familiar with him will not be used well.

Luo Shixin can only retreat here and choose Mo Hu'er, Mo Hu'er is shrewd, good at observing words and feelings, and can help Zheng Liwan when encountering things, and his kung fu is not weak. Recently, I have learned several tricks from him and Kratos, and it is more than enough to become a good player and protect Zheng Liwan and bully ordinary people.

"Don't worry!" When Mo Hu'er heard that he was asked to protect the future general's wife, he didn't say a word, patted his chest and promised, "As long as I, Mo Hu'er, still have a breath, I will never let my wife be hurt in the slightest." ”

The next day, Mo Hu'er rushed to Zheng's mansion with twenty capable cavalrymen and reported to Zheng Liwan.

Looking at the more than 20 capable cavalry, goodbye Luo Shixin sent his henchman Mo Hu'er over, and there was a little touch in his heart, and he was even more determined about the purpose of this trip.

There is a Zhonglang general to protect him, and there are twenty well-equipped cavalrymen who have experienced a hundred battles, plus more than ten guards of the Zheng family, a guard regiment of nearly thirty people. Walking in troubled times has a certain confidence, let alone at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the peaceful world of the Quartet.

There was no danger along the way, except that God was a little unbeautiful, it was pouring rain, and it was delayed for half a day, Zheng Liwan arrived in Xingyang smoothly.

Xingyang has been an important place in history since ancient times: it is connected to the Huai River and Surabaya by the chasm in the east, the Yellow River is adjacent to the Pishan Mountain in the north, the Suohe River is connected to the Songshan Mountain in the south, and the Hugao Pass is connected to Luoyang and Chang'an in the west. In the past, Chu and Han competed, and Xiang Yu and Liu Bang launched a vigorous battle around Xingyang.

Today's Xingyang Zheng family is dominant, and most of the neighbors in the township follow the Zheng family, and the words of the old lady Zheng are more effective here than the local Taishou. Or even more, this Xingyang Taishou is the father-in-law of the Zheng family, the descendants of the Zheng family.

When Zheng Liwan entered Xingyang, someone immediately greeted her.

"But it's the cousin of the Zheng family? I am Zheng Changyu in the small white house, my father Zheng Zeng is the same generation as Ling Zun, and I came to greet him by the order of Mrs. Zheng. Zheng Changyu sat on a white pony, holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, wearing a blue scribe's suit, not moving in the wind and rain, looking gentle and elegant, and his bearing was extraordinary.

Zheng Liwan opened the bead curtain on the carriage, nodded and said, "Cousin is too polite, lead the way quickly, it's windy and rainy, don't catch a cold." ”

For the Zheng family, Zheng Liwan also has a certain understanding.

Zheng family six rooms, with the largest scale of the small white room, over the years there are many talents, to the Northern Wei Dynasty, as the prime minister, there are as many as five people in the small white room. The Zheng family has always ruled each room with a small white house, and Mrs. Zheng is an elder from the small white house. Zheng Changyu has been talented since he was a child, and has always been regarded by the Zheng family as the first person of the younger generation.

Zheng Changyu saw Zheng Liwan's face revealing a beaded curtain, and couldn't help but secretly praise: "The complexion is stunning, and the name is well deserved." ”

He nodded and said, "Please come with me, the old lady has been waiting for a long time." ”

Zheng Changyu led the way to the Zheng Clan Ancestral Hall, the center of the city.

This building, which is larger than the local government, has been preserved for 800 years, and it enshrines the spiritual seats of each generation on the Zheng family tree, including the earliest pre-existing zài in the family tree of Zheng Guojun in the Spring and Autumn Period. As long as the Zheng family is not removed due to major faults, even if they are nameless for a lifetime, the ranking after death will appear in the ancestral hall.

As the most noble existence of the Zheng family, the old lady Zheng lived in this ancestral hall and sacrificed day and night. But all the major matters that require the appearance of Mrs. Zheng are basically discussed in the ancestral hall, and even the ancestors are counted together to show respect for the ancestors of the family.

Zheng Liwan opened the small oil umbrella and trotted into the ancestral hall.

The fragrant hall is filled with nearly a thousand rows hanging at the front of the main hall. Of course, these are not all Zheng family members, only Zheng family officials who have made great contributions to the Zheng family, have a certain reputation, or are above the third grade can be qualified to enjoy the worship of future generations in the ancestral hall.

The other descendants are in the side hall of the Zheng family, and it is actually a side hall for people to worship, and there are as many as ten in the Zheng family ancestral hall.

The incense was first offered, and the prayer was performed.

Zheng Liwan only then met the helmsman of the Zheng family, the eighty-year-old old lady Zheng, in the side hall of the side hall.

Mrs. Zheng was dressed in a clean Confucian suit, and her hair was half black and half white, and she did not look old. There was a tea set in front of him, surrounded by various tea leaves, and water in bamboo tubes.

"It's a girl from the Zheng family, as rumored, she is naturally beautiful and can make tea?"

Zheng Liwan smiled: "I have studied for three months. With that, she walked lightly to Mrs. Zheng, sat down in front of the tea set in an elegant manner, and then poured out all the boiling water.

In the tea ceremony, the tea leaves are more important to water, and the tea can be fragrant when the water is good, just like safflower and green leaves. If the green leaves match, what is the difference between the red and bright flowers?

No matter how good the water is, if you boil it too much, it will be old, and the old water is not worthy of new tea.

Filled with new water, added new carbon, put the purple sand teapot on the water stove, and then chose Junshan Silver Needle among the many tea leaves.

At this time, there is no tea, only boiled tea.

Zheng Liwan grinds the tea cakes made of Junshan silver needles into tea powder, and uses a basket to sift out the tea particles of moderate thickness.

After doing this qiē, the teapot made a whirring sound exactly as it was.

It boiled, with a slight sound, and a little salt was put in.

Two boiling, spring beads, put the tea powder into the pot and steam.

Before the second boiling and the third boiling did not arrive, pick up the teapot and stay away from the fire.

Zheng Liwan brewed tea like a cloud, and her every move was indescribably beautiful and natural.

The water in the teapot was poured on the tea bowl, and the yellow tea swirled in the bowl, exuding the unique fragrance of Junshan silver needles.

Mrs. Zheng exclaimed: "It's not like learning the craft of March." ”

Zheng Liwan bowed her head and said: "To be exact, it is less than three months, eighty-six days. ”

Mrs. Zheng asked, "Why don't you continue to learn?" ”

"When I was young, I didn't know anything, and I thought it would be too easy to learn...... When I grew up, I felt that the tea ceremony was like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and there was a university question in it, which was worth studying for a lifetime, and what I learned at the beginning was only one of ten thousand. Zheng Liwan was a little ashamed, because it was too easy to learn, so that she underestimated all kinds of skills worthy of studying for a lifetime, and was unwilling to learn, so that she has today's situation of being fine and sparse.

"It's really rare...... "Old lady Zheng stroked his palm and smiled: "I have a disciple who has been learning tea with me for ten years, but he is not as good as you." If you persevere, I'm afraid that the old man will be inferior to you. Don't taste the results of your own meticulous work? ”

Zheng Liwan shook her head and smiled: "This is carefully cooked for the old lady, I don't need it!" ”

"Why is that?" Mrs. Zheng was puzzled.

Zheng Liwan said softly: "Because Junshan Silver Needle dissipates gas and makes fire, I won't be angry later, so naturally I don't need it." ”

Old lady Zheng suddenly realized that she was wrong, and underestimated the woman, the Zheng family girl in front of her was more than a hundred times better than the Zheng family tools, and she was uncontrollable...... (To be continued......)
