Chapter 10: Xingyang Zheng (1)
Hagi Niang returned to Xiyuan, Mother Li almost didn't pounce on her and cry, even Cai Ling, who had always been carefree, looked at her with tears in her eyes, and said weakly: "Girl, the slave thought you couldn't come back......
Things are not people, just left not long ago, see yourself this small and ordinary courtyard, I feel extremely cute, every grass and tree is very kind, as long as you see Mother Li and Cai Ling, you can put your mind at ease, no longer need to worry about anything, this is the feeling of home.
She blinked, hid her tears, and then helped the two of them up, and smiled easily: "Look at what you said, I just went to the house of others as a guest, and it is worth being like this." ”
It turned out that when Hagi Niang was gone, Mother Li was worried that Zheng's face was sweet and bitter, but she just pretended to be worried on the surface, but in private, she didn't know what kind of destructive means she was using to manipulate Hagi Niang. Now seeing her return safely, she was so happy that tears rained down, she was busy wiping her tears, and said with a smile: "Exactly, I'm old and confused, girl, take a bath, go to bad luck." ”
After saying this, she felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly took a few sips of "baba With that, he hurried to the kitchen.
Cai Ling naturally hurriedly stepped forward to serve, and whispered to Hagi Niang: "Girl, don't blame my mother for talking too much, she is talking to you every day, if you don't come back, she is about to take a kitchen knife and fight with Madame......"
"Poof!" Hagi Niang couldn't help laughing, Mother Li's heart for her fist was naturally touching, but she imagined the scene of Mother Li brandishing a kitchen knife and rushing towards Zheng's family, and she always felt very happy, so exciting.
In front of the Zheng family, it is naturally a different situation.
As the mother of the Zang family, the Zheng family has always maintained a dignified and dignified model of a good wife and mother, and she is also exquisite. When he first entered the mansion, Zheng was worried that the mansion was full of henchmen of the person in front of him, and he was in the way; She was not in a hurry or impatient, she made a gentle and generous appearance, and spent several years of work to subdue most of them, and those who couldn't be subdued swept out of the house with various justifiable reasons, and no one could find the slightest mistake.
She grew up in the Zheng family's inner house in Xingyang since she was a child, and she is used to seeing these branches and leaves, and knows that tidying up the inner house and playing with flowers and plants is a truth. In order to remove the weeds that grow wildly in spring and summer, it is very necessary to have some water grinding work, if you dig the roots of the ground drastically, it will inevitably hurt your cherished exotic flowers and plants, but just let people remove the weeds, but they will also grow immediately, and it is useless, only carefully study the habits and preferences of various flowers and plants, and then prescribe the right medicine, teach them according to their aptitude, and naturally make the good grow well, the straightened straightened, the dead withered, and the disappeared.
Whether it is a garden or a potted plant, all the flowers and trees need to be cultivated and arranged. Even if it is just a bouquet of flowers in a vase, if the flowers compete with the main flowers and grab the position of the main flower, it will look nondescript and unaesthetic.
But now......
She looked at Hagi Niang who bowed down meekly in front of her, and felt a little irrepressible anxiety in her heart.
Chenjun Xie! This is no ordinary high gate, is it impossible......
In the past, as long as the scholar clan was mentioned, the Langya Wang clan was a well-deserved leader, this noble surname originated from a long time, not to mention the previous dynasty, that is, hundreds of years ago in the Qin Dynasty has a origin, and since Wang Gui crossed the river in white, single-handedly supported the Sima royal family, and presided over various matters of the southward migration, this family is all the way to the peak. After the southern crossing, almost all the military and political power was in the hands of the Langya Wang family, and Wang Dao not only invited capable people to plan and build Jiankang City, but also even the palace of the Sima family was repaired at the expense of the Wang family.
Such a big stroke, I don't know that the Wang family is rich and rivals the country, but the discerning person can see it clearly, the Langya Wang family has already communicated with the Jiangzuo magnates early, and it must have been prepared for a rainy day before the southern crossing, and the major families were mastered or contained, not the emperor is better than the emperor.
Although the Wang family was very respectful to the emperor of the previous dynasty, in fact, the order was only carried out, and the emperor could only be ordered to teach, just like a child in the palm of his hand.
In the past ten years, some talents in the Wang family have withered, and there are no amazing talents, on the contrary, Langya Xie's Xie Gong'an has a leisurely and gentle temperament, fair and decisive, not authoritarian and selfish, not arrogant, he is the prime minister, and he has won the hearts of the people. And this time, since the Battle of Weishui, the Xie family has the prestige of being able to keep pace with the Wang family.
The world is like water, there are ups and downs. Xingyang Zheng family can also be regarded as a century-old gate valve, in the former dynasty's elite circle is not lost to the Wang Xie family, speaking of the long history is better than the Langya Wang family, but after the southern crossing...... It's just that the head of the family missed one move, and he didn't contact the major clans in Wu in advance to establish his own power, so he lost all the games and suddenly became a second-rate family.
She remembered the few times she saw her father in the Zheng family, he was all dusty and tired. Between the words of my father and my mother, I could hear my father with a slightly proud smile talking about how he got into the eyes of a nobleman, but it was just a side branch of Wang Xie's family, and my mother also congratulated my father with a smile, saying that one day I would be able to climb the real magnates.
Even now, the Zheng family can't believe that their daughter, who looks just a little beautiful, but is actually extremely mediocre, can be valued by the concubine of the head of the Xie family in Chen County...... But the funniest thing is that he was driven back in the end, what the hell is going on?
Thinking of Zang Jun's advice, she swallowed her saliva, and could hold back her curiosity to ask in detail, but her beautiful eyes couldn't help but look Haginiang up and down, trying to find a look of shame and fear in her eyes.
Accompanied by Mrs. Xie's place? Whoever loves to believe it, believe it.
Hagi Niang did feel a little worried in her heart, but it was not the kind that Zheng imagined. After she asked for peace, she calmly got up slowly, her docile appearance was not really docile in Zheng's eyes, a pair of big black and white eyes were as clear as water, and her expression was calm and indifferent, and there was a kind of openness that could not be said to others.
After confirming that Hagi Niang was indeed straight and there was nothing wrong with it, Zheng didn't know whether he was disappointed or sighed proudly, and retreated: "Auntie, it's not your mother who said you, it's your father who asked me to remind you that although our Zang family is not famous, it is also from the scholar family, and there are some outstanding ancestors on the genealogy. ”
This cheap daddy!
Obviously, he happily wanted to send himself to the Xie family as a concubine in exchange for benefits, but now he will come to dump the pot again when things don't work?
Hagi Niang clenched her fists, bit her lip and said, "Yes, my daughter strictly follows the teachings of her father and mother, and she dare not disobey it." ”
Zheng glanced at her petal-like lips, frowned slightly, and persuaded very sincerely: "Mother is not willing to see you embarrassed, my son is too delicate, but everyone's appearance needs to match their identity, even if she is too beautiful by chance, she will be dragged down by the door, but it will be sloppy for a lifetime...... If I were you, I wouldn't want to do that. But if a woman has some temperament, she will never be a concubine...... Therefore, you must have a gentle and elegant man with a suitable identity, who can take you as a wife, love you and respect you, and never abandon you for the rest of your life, so as to obtain good results. ”
Hagi Niang was stunned for a moment, and almost couldn't hold back her surprised expression, this Zheng's mother's acting skills are too realistic, is it really true that she came to make friends with herself? Quickly savored Zheng's words, she subconsciously pursed her lips, tried to pretend to be shy and replied weakly: "Accept your auspicious words, my daughter is the only one who obeys the orders of her parents, and she will never dare to think anything wrong." ”
Zheng smiled with satisfaction: "It's good that the eldest lady understands." In a few days, there will be a guest in our house, and the eldest lady will have to work hard. ”
She called the personal maid Cuihuan and instructed: "Help the aunt to go back, I don't have to say hello for a few days, have a good rest." ”
Hagi Niang didn't dare to let Cuihuan help, in this family, she didn't dare to mess with anyone who was close to the Zheng family, so she let her go back in front of the Zheng family's courtyard.
