Chapter 122: A Brief Reunion
How can you see that the Jiang family is not as favored as the Zhang family? Simple. On the first night of his wife's return, Zheng Heng rested at Zhang's place.
In the morning, Zheng Zhi went to ask the Jiang family to say goodbye, and the people in the main room, from the master to the subordinates, all looked as usual, I don't know if it was a problem of temperament or habituality, in short, Zheng Zhi didn't see anything. Yes, Zheng Zhi thought that his father stayed here last night. He really didn't want to see Zheng Heng recently, so he asked Jiang: "Mother, is my father gone?" ”
"What is this kid called!" Jiang snorted, but did not ask his son to correct it, and said, "Your father is not with me." Hungry? What do you want to eat? Say it all, and my mother asked someone to do it. ”
Facing the Jiang family, Zheng Zhi unconsciously coquettish: "What do I like to eat, can't my mother remember?" ”
Jiang held back tears and said, "As long as what you like remains the same, my mother will remember it for the rest of your life." ”
Breakfast was shared by the three of Jiang's mother and son, and a table of things, eight or nine times out of ten, were all liked by Zheng Zhi. The eleventh twelve is what the chubby Zheng Cong likes. Zheng Zhi drank the porridge in a big gulp, and looked at his younger brother who was swallowing meat grains with his wrong eyes.
Get up early in the morning and eat meat, this brother, can it be meaty?
"Fourth brother, have you ever seen a pig?"
Zheng Cong thought that his brother was testing himself, and after swallowing the meat, he said, "I've seen it!" ”
Zheng Zhi was satisfied: "What to eat, eat so much pork, you will soon look the same as a pig." ”
Like a pig?
The beautiful Zheng Cong couldn't accept such a setting, and cried out with a "wow". The Jiang clan was completely instinctive, slapped Zheng Zhi in the face, and said angrily: "What are you doing to provoke this little ancestor!" ”
Although he just patted his back, Zheng Zhi was still very aggrieved, thinking that his mother was partial to his younger brother. After half a while, Zheng Cong was still crying, and no matter how Zheng Zhi changed his words, how Jiang said "a manly husband doesn't shed tears" was not good. In the end, he was tired of crying and fell asleep, so he gave up.
Zheng Zhi breathed a sigh and sighed, "How can this kid cry like this!" ”
Jiang also wanted to know that without the magic sound in his ears, Jiang didn't have much appetite, and after watching Zheng Zhi finish eating, he talked to him about business, because he said: "Last night, your sister-in-law sent someone around her to talk to me about some family affairs. Master Hou, I didn't recognize you, you are very aggrieved, but? Actually, it's not necessary. There's something that I only discovered in the last few years. ”
Waving off the subordinates, Jiang said in a low voice: "The more beautiful the face, the more your father can't remember." Before I found this, my mother didn't know how many tears she shed. Hey......"
Zheng Zhi didn't believe it, because he asked, "Then how does he recognize his younger brother?" ”
In terms of appearance, Zheng Zhi is ashamed of himself, and even thinks that his mother is not as beautiful as his younger brother.
"Your father knows your eldest uncle, your younger brother, and he grew up according to him."
Hearing his mother talk about his family for the first time, Zheng Zhi hurriedly asked: "My younger brother is like an uncle, what about me?" Also, are the uncles all in Jinling? ”
Jiang Shi chuckled in his heart, didn't dare to face Zheng Zhi, and stumbled: "You, how do you know that your mother is from Jinling?" ”
"Big brother told me."
Jiang immediately said: "When your mother is away, your eldest brother and sister-in-law treat you well?" ”
Thinking of the two of them, Zheng Zhi raised his head and said with a smile: "They are very good to me." Well, it's not good, big brother is very strict sometimes. His own fists and feet are ordinary, but he always finds someone to teach me; He doesn't like to read, but he just knows a few words, but he says that his mother knows how to read and understand, and forces me to read the Four Books and the Five Classics. Mother, I really don't like to read. ”
Don't like to read? It's really like your father, Jiang said with emotion, but he didn't say anything. At this time, Zheng Zhi said again: "Big brother asked me to participate in martial arts next year." ”
"What!"
Jiang stood up in surprise, and Zheng Zhi comforted her: "Don't worry, I can." My eldest brother told me everything, and in the past few years, I have been listening to him very much and working very hard. Next year is just what the eldest brother thinks, and it is not known whether His Majesty will be able to open martial arts or not. ”
Talking about martial arts is the imperial examination, and Emperor Yongle also came according to actual needs. In the seventh year of his accession to the throne, two examinations were held, and the last subject should have been opened in the fifth year of Yongle, but the imperial court was too short of officials, so it was advanced by one year, and the examination was held in the fourth year of Yongle.
As for the martial arts, only one martial arts was held in Yongle Si. The candidates are all the children of military generals, in other words, the martial arts are just the names of the children of military generals. The age is not carefully specified, you are not afraid that the child will be ugly when he is young, just go. Because of this, Zheng Shizi asked Zheng Zhi to prepare for the move, but he didn't say that he had to participate.
Zheng Zhi once said to Gu Yao that after going to the capital to participate in the martial arts, he could only marry Gu Yao, but it was just that Zheng Shizi was afraid that he would change his mind in the future, so what he said had no other meaning. When Gu Yao asked Shizi if he was his godbrother's pawn, Zheng Shizi denied it very frankly.
Because, really, it's not.
However, what Zheng Zhi said was not enough to appease the Jiang family, and the Jiang family hurriedly left his son and went to his stepson for questioning. I don't know the specific details, Zheng Zhi only knows that since that day, his mother has never mentioned this stubble.
Since the return of the Jiang family, Mrs. Shizi and Zheng Zhi have felt that life has been much happier. In the blink of an eye, seven or eight days passed. On this day, Zheng Heng convened his family for a small meeting in the evening, because he said, "I won't go out tomorrow." ”
The Jiang family, the Zhang family, and Zheng Shizi immediately understood the meaning of these words. After picking up his wife and children earlier, Zheng Heng said that he would move his nest, which had nothing to do with Zheng Zhi's beating, and it was something His Majesty had already decided. At this point, I think it's already settled.
The crowd held their breath.
"Don't be nervous, I'll go to Kaiping."
How can you not be nervous? One involves the future of the Zheng family, and the other, who follows Zheng Heng to take office, is really a big deal. Hearing that it was Kaiping, Zheng Shizi asked with a solemn face: "My father has been degraded, or does His Majesty want my father to rectify Kaiping?" ”
"On the surface, he belittled me, but in private, he wanted me to rectify Kaiping. I guess Your Majesty will also use troops against the Mongols. ”
Seeing that the father and son began to talk about business, Jiang immediately said, "Then I'll go pack my bags." ”
"It's time for Xiaosi to study, Shuntianfu is not as good as Jiangnan, and it is much better than Beidi."
Zheng Heng said so, and Jiang understood what he meant. According to Zheng Heng's point of view, it is best not to leave the mother before the child is ten years old. Therefore, when he went to Xuanfu to take office, he did not bring Jiang and Zheng Zhi. It was Zheng Shizi who took over the task of educating his younger brother and sent the Jiang family to Xuanfu.
Not only Jiang understands, but Zhang also understands. On his slightly darkened face, there was an unconcealed excitement, but he heard Zheng Heng say again: "This time I will go to Kaiping, I will only take the third child over, and I will leave the day after tomorrow." ”
In other words, Zhang did not follow.
Zheng Heng couldn't make such a choice. If you bring the second son and the third son together, it will not be enough trouble for the two to make some trouble. As for the people who serve themselves, the Zheng family is richer now than it was back then, and one or two women who serve Hou Ye can't be found? Zheng Heng thinks so.
In fact, Jung Hyung was right.
Jiang glanced at Zhang's and immediately said, "Then I will arrange someone to take care of Hou Ye." ”
Arranging candidates for Zheng Heng is a matter for the Jiang family's main house, and the Zhang family can only watch. Zhang looked at Zheng Heng aggrievedly, and Zheng Zhi looked at Zheng Heng sadly.
I'll leave the day after tomorrow, and I'll just say it today, this old man is sincere, right? How can I mention this stubble to Gu Yao? This time is different from the last special training. Last time, the two were still awkward. Now, the two of them have spoken, and Gu Yao has accepted it very calmly...... He left suddenly, and he didn't know when he would return, would Gu Yao cry?
