XVI. Resignation

On December 10, the whole family began to get busy early in the morning, preparing a farewell banquet for Zheng Pingxin.

Zheng Pingxin was very calm, as soon as he got up early in the morning, he practiced in the martial arts field, Zheng Pingxin learned swordsmanship, and the sword was sent by Zheng Nangong when he was crowned, and he was killed. Zheng Wan stayed by her side early in the morning and looked at Zheng Pingxin in the courtyard with a smile. Ning Yan looked at Zheng Wan and couldn't help but wonder in her heart, Zheng Wan was so smart, did she remember Zheng Pingxin's moves. If these two are competing, which one is more powerful?

Waiting for a set of swordsmanship to come down, Zheng Pingxin's forehead was covered with sweat, put away the sword in his hand, walked slowly to Zheng Wan, took the freshly built tea, and drank it in a big gulp.

"Third brother, wipe your sweat." Zheng Wan handed over the veil.

"What is this sweat, no need. Thank you, Sister Wan'er. Zheng Pingxin's voice was thick and warm. I put down the cup and made a gesture of please.

"My brother is really good. If Wan'er is a man, she must follow her brother to learn martial arts. Zheng Wan said as she followed Zheng Pingxin's steps and left the martial arts field.

"Let Wan'er see and smile." Zheng Pingxin smiled gently. As he spoke, he walked to the pavilion not far away. "Wan'er, sit. What's the matter with coming so early? ”

"The day after tomorrow, my brother is going to leave home. Wan'er thought that there was nothing good to give to her brother. So I made a sachet, and the place in Xiping was too dry. I put some herbs to clear away heat and detoxify. Yesterday, I asked Qiu Qi to prepare some wound medicine and put it in the carriage, which is considered to be a little dedicated. Zheng Wan held a delicate sachet and handed it to Zheng Pingxin.

"Wan'er really has a heart." Zheng Pingxin solemnly took the sachet and put it in his arms. "The day after tomorrow, I don't know how long I can see each other again, at least a year, more than a few years, Wan'er has to take care of herself."

"The third brother is tired. My brother must be careful when he goes. This time, Mingli asked the third brother to garrison Xiping, but in fact, His Majesty sent you to recapture Yundu. It's a bit more difficult, but I think the third brother will succeed immediately. It's just that this is cool and cunning. Now the general stationed in Yundu is Li Yunzhi. A few years ago, when the second brother was still alive, he once said that Li Yunzhi was a talent for governing the army. He had never suffered a defeat. Zheng Wan sat down with the second brother.

"I have naturally heard of Li Yunzhi's fame. His way of governing the army is also worth emulating. But I'm not afraid of him. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and there will naturally be a way. The more famous he became, the better I got to know him, knowing myself and the enemy, and being invincible. ”

"That's what my brother said. I heard that Li Yunzhi is a decent and upright person, and he is also a very stubborn person, because of this character, he has offended many people. So, there are two sides to everything. The third brother led the troops for the first time, and listened to the words of other generals. Zheng Wan continued to serve tea for Zheng Pingxin.

Zheng Pingxin nodded, in agreement. "If you go this time, Uncle Zheng will also follow."

"Really?" Zheng Wan couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, "Sixth Uncle Zheng can be regarded as my father's right-hand man. When he was young, he followed his father on the expedition, and he was experienced in a hundred battles. If he hadn't been a servant of our family, he would have been able to get a good job in the army. ”

"It's all father's compassion."

"It's still my father who treats you well, and my brother will set off the day after tomorrow, I think about going to Yundeguan that day to pray for my brother."

"Wan'er really has a heart, then I thanked my sister first."

"The Third Son." A servant called outside the pavilion. "The master invited the son to the study."

"Okay, here we go." Zheng Pingxin looked at Zheng Wan gently, "Wan'er, then I'll go to see my father first." ”

"Third brother, let's go." Zheng Wan stood up with Zheng Pingxin.

Zheng Pingxin nodded, then turned around and left. Zheng Wan looked at the back of the leaving. Third brother, you must win. But what if things haven't progressed in prison yet? Zheng Wan seemed to be a little anxious today, although she couldn't see it on her face, but Ning Yan could feel it.

Zheng Wan just returned to the courtyard. Qiu Qi came up, "Miss, I found it." ”

Zheng Wan was stunned for a moment, but suddenly understood, and immediately asked Qiu Qi to follow her into the house.

"Finally." Zheng Wan breathed a deep sigh of relief, "How long have you been dead?" ”

"What happened last night, I was born as a stillborn child, thrown in a mass grave, and was found by my people."

"Okay, very good, prepare immediately, let's go to the Tingwei Division, the medicine must be prepared."

"No." Qiu begged respectfully to comply. But he didn't go out immediately, but lowered his head and said slowly, "Miss, these days, the slave maid has seen a lot of children who have been slugged by the tooth, they are powerful, and the slave and maid can't fight them, looking at those children, I feel very pitiful, and I can't help but think of my childhood when I was a child, and the days in the hands of the tooth are very thoughtful." Qiu Qi's tone was filled with sadness that he had never seen before.

"It's a great sin. Caught is punishable by death. Zheng Wan frowned.

"Capital punishment? Those people are very cunning, and some officials collude with them, so they are naturally bold and reckless. ”

"Well, we can't control these things now, if you look pitiful, buy it. Go to the city and buy a house in the city, and if they want to stay, keep it in that house, and if they want to leave, give them some silver taels and let them go. Zheng Wan said as she walked to the bookshelf and took out a box from the dark compartment, "There are some silver taels here, which should be enough for you to do these things." ”

"Thank you, Miss." Qiu Qi's eyes flashed with tears, "Miss is really a good person. The slave and maid kowtowed to the young lady for those hard-working children. With that, he knelt down and kowtowed three times.

"Needless to say, these are trivial, get up. There's a lot more to do in the future. ”

"No. The slave and maid immediately went to do it. Qiu Qi smiled, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and began to do things resolutely.

Tingweisi, as eerie as ever, the woman's belly was very large, and she leaned against the bed. "Soon?"

"Everything went according to plan. Life and death are just a few days away. Zheng Wan shook the woman's hand, and the medicine bag was transferred to the woman's hand. Good. ”

"Act tomorrow, and I'll pick him up early the day after tomorrow. I won't stay much today. After Zheng Wan finished speaking, she turned around and left the cell.

Back in the mansion, it was a dinner party, and Zheng Wan sat in the corner according to the rules. The elders in the family were very worried about Zheng Pingxin's expedition, for fear that they would miss something.

Zheng Wan only ate a few bites of food, and then she didn't move, and there were bursts of bitterness in her heart, and the bitterness that couldn't be dissolved. Ning Yan looked at the calm Zheng Wan and sighed lightly, I am afraid that I remembered Zheng Pingsheng again, it was mentioned in the book that Zheng Pingsheng died young, but the words of Zheng Wan and the woman in prison were indeed another statement. What was it like back then? Ning Yan didn't dare to jump to conclusions. Because Zheng Pingxin was going to the ancestral hall to worship the next day, the dinner came to an end early, and all parties said goodbye, which was considered to be a resignation.
