Chongzhen left his hometown for four years, until Chongzhen ten years, Zheng Xunrui did not return to his hometown, when he led the Zheng family army, followed the Liukou has hit Fengyang and Luzhou and other places, he did not have time to go home to see, this time to Nanjing, the first thing is to go back to Guli Town to see, to see what has become of the family.

The Zheng family in Guli Town, Jiangning County, has long been the standard scholar family in the eyes of everyone, and it is also a family worshiped by the whole town, the ancestor of the family is Xingyang Zheng, which was originally a scholarly family, and now there is a champion Zheng Xunrui, who is in his twenties is the prince Shaobao, which can be said to be the first person in the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Xunrui's parents Zheng Fugui, Ma and Jiang, were received by the emperor's holy decree to the capital, and lived a comfortable life, Zheng Xunrui's younger brother Zheng Kaihua, mainly engaged in the seed business, and made a lot of money every year, I don't know how comfortable it is these days, and the Zheng family's thousand-strong nursing home is majestic, and it is guarded inside and outside the Zheng family's compound all the time, and ordinary people can't get close to it at all.

Entering Jiangning County, Zheng Xunrui heard rumors about the Zheng family, these rumors have envy, jealousy and hatred, and there are also ill-intentioned discussions, hearing the news from Wen Kun's report, Zheng Xunrui's face has no smile, he faintly feels that Zheng Kaihua has done a little too much, I am afraid that no one in the Nanjing scholar family will be so conspicuous.

There are 1,000 people in the Zheng family's nursing home, which is expected by Zheng Xunrui, this number can not be regarded as the most in Nanjing, when the liukou almost hit Fengyang and Luzhou and other places, in Nanzhili caused a great panic, the powerful scholar family, have increased the number of nursing homes, to protect their own safety, this practice is understandable, and there are also some bandits in various parts of Nanzhili, increasing the number of courtyards to fight bandits, and the government has nothing to say.

Zheng Xunrui came to Nanjing this time, followed by a full 100 soldiers. The 100 men were divided into three parts, the first part was to probe the road in front, to find out if there was any danger along the road, a total of 30 people. Commanded by Wang Xiaoer himself, the second part is followed by Zheng Xunrui, and there are also thirty people, led by Hong Xinyu, these thirty people are the absolute elite of the Zheng family's army. All of them are extraordinary, with the courage of ten thousand people, and they are loyal to Zheng Xunrui, even if they encounter a great disaster, they would rather sacrifice their lives to ensure Zheng Xunrui's safety, the third part of forty people, this part of the people is commanded by Su Manzi, they are scattered around Zheng Xunrui, always ready. Respond to all kinds of unexpected situations.

Zheng Xunrui didn't plan to bring Wang Xiaoer, Su Manzi and others, but Zheng Jinhong and Xu Wanghua insisted that he had no choice, he came to Nanjing by himself, and actually brought a deputy general soldier of the Zheng family army and two generals, such a formation is amazing enough.

Since Zheng Xunrui came to Nanjing in Weifu, he must not be able to publicize it, so their team pretended to be a caravan. There are so many people, it will not arouse suspicion, and the personal soldiers who followed Zheng Xunrui's side have already reached the realm of implicit but not revealed. On the outside, they look similar to ordinary people, without the slightest murderous aura, but once they encounter an emergency, these people can instantly burst out with terrifying momentum.

Huai'an is only more than 500 miles away from Nanjing, which is nothing for Zheng Xunrui. Their marching speed is very fast, along the way except for the time of food and accommodation delay, the rest of the time is in a hurry, from Huai'an to Nanjing, all are official roads, along the way need to pass through Yangzhou and Zhenjiang, Zheng Xunrui and others will not enter the city of Fuzhou County, their first destination, is Guli Town in Jiangning County.

Three days later, Zheng Xunrui entered Guli Town.

Looking at everything familiar around him, Zheng Xunrui was full of emotion, seven years, six years have not returned to Guli Town, everything that can be done before seems to be in front of him.

When there was still more than a mile away from the Zheng family's mansion, Zheng Xunrui slowed down, and the horse knew what his master meant, slowed down his pace, and trotted all the way towards the mansion.

"Stop, who dares to trespass on the mansion."

Dozens of people suddenly appeared in front of the road, blocking the way of Zheng Xunrui and others.

These people are very young, and the aura they show is very strong.

Zheng Xunrui shook his head slightly, there is still a distance of more than three hundred meters from the mansion, the warning range of the Zheng family's nursing home is so large, it is really unnecessary, if someone secretly impeaches the Zheng family for being too arrogant, this is not easy to explain.

Zheng Xunrui didn't speak, but Hong Xinyu was angry.

He glared, looked at the crowd in front of him, and spoke unceremoniously.

"Are you a nurse?"

It was probably Hong Xinyu's strong aura that shocked everyone, and one of them nodded and spoke.

"We are the Zheng family's nursing home, this is the Zheng family's territory, if you have anything, please take a detour."

"Bastard, I'm Hong Xinyu, you go and report to the little master."

Hong Xinyu's name, of course the nursing home knows, but he is the deputy chief soldier of the Zheng family, and he follows the young master all the time, since Hong Xinyu is back, does it mean that the young master is also back.

The leading nurse did not dare to delay time, turned the horse's head, and galloped towards the mansion.

Wang Xiaoer and Su Manzi led the people, long ago arranged the cordon from afar, Zheng Xunrui returned to Nanjing this time, did not want to publicize, so they also shoulder the duty of confidentiality, Wang Xiaoer has already investigated, there are many businessmen who came to the Zheng family, and it is not uncommon for large-scale caravans to appear, and the people around will not pay special attention, so Zheng Xunrui, who pretended to be a caravan, returned to the mansion and really did not attract everyone's attention.

A white horse galloped out of the mansion.

From a long distance, Zheng Kaihua saw Zheng Xunrui, and when he opened his mouth to shout loudly, he saw Zheng Xunrui's stopping eyes, and Zheng Kaihua, who had been sharpened for a long time, quickly shut up.

Zheng Xunrui is in the front, Zheng Kaihua is slightly behind, Hong Xinyu is behind Zheng Kaihua, and the rest of the personal soldiers are guarding on both sides.

When entering the mansion, Zheng Kaihua quickly instructed the housekeeper to close the door if he didn't see anyone today.

When the housekeeper was stunned, he saw Zheng Xunrui and hurriedly knelt down, Zheng Xunrui helped the housekeeper up, and greeted him with a few words, for so many years, the housekeeper of the Zheng Mansion has not adjusted.

Zheng Xunrui specially told the housekeeper that he just took the time to go home and take a look, don't leak the news, of course the housekeeper understood the meaning, nodded again and again, and turned around to decorate.

Inside the study, nothing has changed, it is still the same.

Zheng Xunrui casually took down a few books and found that there was dust on them.

Zheng Kaihua, who was following Zheng Xunrui, was a little red.

"Kaihua, haven't you been reading at home?"

"Brother, there are too many things at home, I really don't have time, and I can't cope with the guests and businessmen who come every day."

Zheng Xunrui shook his head slightly, he believed that what Zheng Kaihua said was true, as the business became bigger and bigger, and the intensity of seed production became more and more every year, Zheng Kaihua really couldn't have so much time to read.

"Kaihua, you still have to read books, many things at home can be done by others, you don't have to do everything, especially some social matters, you can hand over to many cousins to take care of."

"No, I've tried it before, but many cousins, either the money is not right, or they can't do things well, and I have no choice, so I can handle it myself."

"Don't doubt the use of people, don't use suspicious people, since the money is not right, then give people more wages, do things badly, then the hand-in-hand church, you have to learn to grasp the big and let go of the small, so many things at home, you are alone to worry about, how is it possible."

Zheng Kaihua nodded again and again, he was the eldest at home, but after Zheng Xunrui came back, he was the second.

"Kaihua, as the saying goes, brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are cut off, if their cousins can't be united, it's not good for this to spread out, even their own brothers can't rest assured, how can outsiders rest assured, okay, I just want to remind you, I shouldn't have said these words, there are too many things at home, you are very worried, I can't help much, I am very guilty."

"Brother, don't say that, you still have to say what you need to say, I have written down everything you said."

When Zhou Bingyan came to visit with the child in her arms, Zheng Xunrui took out a sandalwood box and handed it to Zhou Bingyan, which contained a night pearl and some gold and silver jewelry.

Zheng Xunrui is the first time to meet Zhou Bingyan, Zheng Kaihua's wedding, he was not able to return home, and he has always felt a little guilty, so the gift to Zhou Bingyan this time is different.

Zheng Kaihua's son is about to turn old, and he is named Zheng Kunyu, a name given by Zheng Xunrui.

Soon, Chunping also came to visit, Zheng Xunrui also gave Chunping a sandalwood box, which is also a night pearl, but it is smaller, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, Chunping is the identity of a concubine, Zheng Xunrui cannot give the same gift.

Over the years, Zheng Kaihua has not only been in the seed business, but also involved in the operation of silk, tea, sugar and salt and iron.

Zheng Xunrui has long lost interest in doing business, and his focus has shifted for many years, but the family's business also needs to be paid attention to, after all, a wealthy family is a strong reliance.

After listening to Zheng Kaihua talk about these situations, Zheng Xunrui also reminded some places that need to be paid attention to, especially in terms of how to win people's hearts, and made a key reminder, Zheng Kaihua is too busy, speaking of which is busier than him, the governor of Caoyun, it is not possible to go on like this, the body can't bear it, and after the business grows, his personal ability is limited, and he can't take care of it at all.
