Chapter 143: The mouth is honey and the belly is sword, and the affection is difficult to distinguish
Zheng Shijie was uneasy, and walked slowly towards the main hall with a cold face, and it happened that Xiao Zong came out of the hall to see him, so he welcomed him into the hall and spoke, "Oh, why is my brother-in-law sad?" It can't be a quarrel with Nishiki, right? Zheng Shijie forced a laugh but did not speak, Xiao Zong said again: "My brother-in-law is far away from Guangling, and he is busy with business on weekdays, so it is not easy to meet and reunite with his family... Your brother and sister rarely get together today, and they haven't said a few words in their stomachs, but why did they make an awkward scene? The brother-in-law is the elder, and everything should be done to let Jinzhi be..."Xiao Zong saw that the two seemed to be unhappy.
"My lord.. My brother-in-law misunderstood... I haven't seen my little sister for many days, how can I not think about it... Shicai Jinzhi also complained about why I didn't come to see her once, saying that I didn't care about her sister, and it was really wronged to be lowly, so I deliberately lowered my face and was angry with her..."Zheng Shijie smiled with his eyebrows, Xiao Zong suddenly thought for a moment and smiled: "I said why did you two have a cold face when they first met, it turns out that this is the reason!" Zheng Shijie said: "Jinzhi is like this, when he was a child, he always loved to be coquettish and angry in front of his humble position." Xiao Zong laughed when he heard this.
The two chatted happily, and Zheng Shijie asked about Lian Zhao's death and Ziying's recent situation, Xiao Zong sighed: "After Zhao Yuan went, his wife and sister Ziying were heartbroken, and she didn't think about tea and dinner for several days, and she was depressed, alas..." Xiao Zong smiled: "My brother-in-law has a soft spot for Ziying, I know it... Now that she needs someone to accompany her, her brother-in-law must not miss the opportunity..."Then, Zheng Shizhuo went straight to Ziying's room in the main hall.
But he said that after the small banquet was dispersed, Xiang Lin went out of the house with Shen Ru, a guest from the door, Shen Ru saw that he was preoccupied, so he asked what was annoying, and asked Lin, "Ask Brother Xian, what is the relationship between Murong Fu Lianying, the sister of Mrs. Murong Chang, and Zheng Shijie, the Taishou of Guangling County?" Shen Ru smiled: "When did Brother Xian become interested in these gossips?" Xiang Lin said, "Brother Xian misunderstood, Brother Fool just asked..."Shen Ru smiled, "Since Brother Xian asked, Brother Fool should tell what he has heard." Shen Ru told everything he knew and heard about the two of them.
Xiang Lin frowned when he heard this, his eyes were full of worry, and he looked back at the Assassin Mansion and paced back and forth thinking about something, Shen Ru didn't understand what he meant, "Why is the virtuous brother anxious?" Xiang Lin Yan: "Then Zheng Shijie is not a good person, if Murong Niangzi marries him by mistake, wouldn't it... Alas! Shen Ru wondered, "Brother Xian is not related to Murong Niangzi, how can he be so concerned about her affairs?" Isn't Mo a virtuous brother? Xiang Lin hurriedly said: "Brother Xian misunderstood, Brother Fool is indeed not related to Murong Niangzi... It's just that I look at Murong Niangzi's pure temperament and lack of a city, if she is deceived by Zheng Shijie this time, won't it be a pity..."Xiang Lin's worried eyes flashed with a heavy dazed and helpless.
"What is the difference between Brother Xian and that Zheng Taishou?" Shen Ru asked each other, and Xiang Lin told him about the past scenes that happened in the Dongyang School Palace, but he didn't say a word to Ziying. Shen Ru sighed when he heard this: "During the banquet, Zheng Tai was dignified and polite, but he was a treacherous and vicious person, and it was difficult to know the heart of the person... Since the virtuous brother has a grudge against that villain, he should be even more cautious in the future... Zheng Shijie is in a high position, Lord Assassin Shi is his in-law, and you and I are just despicable guests, once we act recklessly and provoke him, I am afraid that it will be full of disasters in the future, and there will be no day to turn over..."Shen Ru advised Xiang Lin earnestly.
Xiang Lin stood in place and stared at the Thorn Mansion in a daze, silent for a long time, and then Shen Ru dragged Fang before slowly leaving.
Zheng Shijie hurried to Ziying's room, and saw that the room was deserted, there was not a single maidservant, the gauze curtain was faint, the curtains were cool, the Mengdong flowers under the windowsill were lazy, and the original bright yellow flowers were a little less bright.
"Zheng Shijie came to visit the lady." Zheng Shijie stood outside the curtain and prayed, and after a while, Ziying came out and was slightly surprised to see that it was him, "Meet Lord Taishou... How can Lord Zheng have time to come today..."Raising his eyes and getting up, Zheng Shijie saw that Ziying was much thinner than before, thin and frail, his eyebrows were sad, and even his voice was weak and dull, "I haven't seen you for many days, and the lady is haggard like this..." Ziying didn't say anything, and reluctantly smiled and asked him to sit down and talk.
"The eldest lady is destined for a thin life, Shaohua died early, and the contemptible people were amazed and embarrassed when they heard it, but they were annoyed that the official duties at that time were too heavy to withdraw, so they did not rush to condolence and worship, and I hope that the lady will forgive me..." The adults are high and responsible, with national affairs as the majority, and the people as the head, what can be compared with it, how can the little woman be haunted by the adult's future worship. ”
Zheng Shijie said with concern: "The world is unpredictable, my sister has died today, and the lady's day is mourning, so take care of your body." Ziying thanked her, Zheng Shijie stepped forward to help her sit down, Ziying coughed and gasped: "Adults eat tea..." Zheng Shijie sat down and said again: "The lady has no blood on her face, she is weak and weak, can you ask the doctor?" Ziying said slowly: "I have looked for a doctor, and the doctor has prescribed some prescriptions for treating wind and cold. Zheng Shijie asked again: "When did you get sick?" Why is it still not good today? Ziying said: "Don't worry about me, my lord, Ziying will be cured in a few days." ”
Zheng Shijie said worriedly: "How can it be good to go on like this... Tomorrow, Xiao Ke will personally go to find a wise doctor, and then find some ginseng herb tonics. Ziying stopped, "I can't help it, Ziying is just a little sick, how dare I worry about it." Zheng Shijie leaned forward and said with love in his eyes: "The contemptible people's deep affection for the lady can be learned from the world, seeing you like this today, how can you not provoke my heart like a knife, anxious, if I ignore it, I am really ashamed of being a dignified man, and I am at peace in my heart..."
Ziying glanced at him intently, then turned her eyes and said slowly: "Ziying is just an ordinary woman, why do adults love me..."Zheng Shijie said lightly, "Since the first time I saw the lady, I know what is heartwarming, what is stupid, what is affectionate... Although Shijie doesn't know the lady's mind, Shijie knows that his heart is happy because of the lady's joy, sadness and sadness, worry and worry... If the lady has three long and two short, Shijie's heart will be like a withered flower, and there will be no more blooming day..."Zheng Shijie said and turned his back and sighed.
"Your Excellency... Ziying thanked Lord for his love..."Ziying walked up to Zheng Shijie to thank her, Zheng Shijie helped her up, "The lady is relieved, the contemptible people will stay in the house to accompany the lady these days, and it will not be too late to return to Guangling when the lady is well." Ziying asked, "Adults stay in the house?" This is the Assassin's Mansion, how can Lord Assassin allow it? Zheng Shijie realized that he had said the wrong thing, but he didn't want to mention his in-law relationship with Xiao Zong, so he thought for a moment and said: "The lady doesn't know, the contemptible people came here to discuss with Lord Assassin Shi this time, and it is not a day, Lord Assassin Shi will leave me for a few days..."
Ziying was about to speak when she heard Xiao Mei's cry, and then hurried to the bedside, Zheng Shijie wanted to lift the curtain and enter, but it happened that Qingxia came in with a medicine bowl, so she stopped. Qingxia saw Zheng Shijie's heart stunned, returned to her senses and put the medicine bowl on the table, and bowed forward: "The slave has seen Lord Taishou...", Zheng Shijie smiled: "Don't be polite, quickly bring the soup and medicine... Oh yes, you must take care of Murong Niangzi, and the official will retire first..."Zheng Shijie left, but Qingxia was stunned in place thoughtfully.
After drinking the decoction, Qingxia frowned and asked quietly...
