Zheng Yuanyou married before he could get married, and he married to Ying Tianfu, which is really puzzling, and the visitors have to talk a few words. A girl of the same age as Qiqi will also ask curiously: "My eldest sister only got married at seventeen, why is your third sister going to get married now?" ”

Qiqi said according to Gu Yao's teaching: "It's my third brother-in-law's side, the old man of the third brother-in-law's family is not in good health, and she loves the third brother-in-law the most, and she is worried about the third brother-in-law's family." Lao An and my grandmother had the best relationship with us when we were young. The eldest uncle responded to the old man's request and married the third sister in advance. ”

That's the way it says to the outside world.

Those who are familiar with the inside story know that this marriage was set as early as three years ago. And the reason for the early decision is only known to very few people. Before the death of Taishi Yao Guangxiao, he implored the Yongle Emperor to release the monk Pu Qia, who was the chief monk during the reign of Emperor Jianwen. After Master Pu Qia was freed, he changed his name to Chen, Zheng Shizi had an old relationship with Master Chen, and knew that he had nowhere to live, so he sent the first guard around him to the south to take people to Shuntian Mansion.

After Lichen arrived, the first stop was the Wu'an Hou Mansion, and he came to thank Zheng Shizi, and wanted to ask Zheng Shizi why he helped him.

"Lao Wei has an old relationship with many people, and only Uncle Daoyan rescued me from prison, but the one who took me in refused to even be a teacher. Zheng Shizi was in a high position, so he took a fancy to Lao Ke, and Lao Ge was terrified. ”

Zheng Shizi sneered and said, "The master has been imprisoned for so many years, but he is still as kind-hearted as before. You are all dusty, that is, what do I have to trouble the master, the master just doesn't admit it, why bother saying such things? Why bother to travel thousands of miles to the north? ”

"If you don't go north, you have nowhere to stay; If you don't go north, it's hard to know the meaning of the world. ”

A good old man like Emperor Jianwen, a sincere person, and a fool. Zheng Shizi got up and said, "Master rest assured, Zheng doesn't ask for anything, just to repay the kindness and repay the master's kindness for saving him back then." ”

Although 20 years have passed, Lichen has been locked up for many years, and all he remembers is the past. Just a handy kindness, and the dust remembered it. At that time, he followed the imperial grandson to become the national teacher of the Ming Dynasty, and the scenery was infinite. Although he has never had these extravagant desires, glory is indeed a delightful existence. When the mood is good, it is more convenient to do good.

Save cats, dogs, and people, as far as he sees, there is no creature that cannot be saved. The young Zheng Shizi is one of the creatures who are handy, a young man in Jinyiwei, a dying child.

"I see." Lichen understood, but he didn't understand, because he said, "Back then, didn't you pay it back?" ”

Hiding Emperor Jianwen, didn't you also help?

Zheng Shizi knew what he was saying, raised his eyebrows, and said, "As far as I know, that person was not sent to the place agreed between you and me. ”

In other words, not to mention that Zhu Di can't find Emperor Jianwen, he is a confidant like Chen, and he doesn't know where Emperor Jianwen wen, whether he is alive or dead.

Lichen shook his head and said, "That has nothing to do with the son, and it is not the responsibility of the son." However, since the old man has received the favor of the son, he will repay it. Dare to ask the son, are you willing to learn from the Xu family and let the Zheng family become a descendant? ”

"I don't want to!"

At that time, Zheng Shizi was the only one left with Zheng Yuanyou's daughter who was unmarried, and he answered very happily.

Master Lichen said: "Then I will ask the prince to marry the girl I just saw on the corner gate in the twentieth year of Yongle." ”

The girl at the corner gate? Zheng Shizi's heart moved, and he immediately asked people to pull Zheng Yuanyou over. Sure enough, I saw that the young girl was dressed as a small maid again, and she was mixed in the crowd. However, instead of being angry, Zheng Shizi pointed to the young girl and asked: "The person the master said, but she?" ”

"Amitabha, good."

To tell the truth, Zheng Shizi didn't believe it. Because the grandson has been married, and there is the original concubine of the Sun family, even if it is five or eight years later, it will not be the turn of the little girl who has grown up in his family to do that position. Since the crown prince, the royal family has stopped marrying high-ranking women as royal wives.

If you don't believe it, you don't believe it, but he doesn't want to gamble, and after discussing it with his wife, he chooses the youngest grandson of his mother's old friend to settle a family affair. For people close to him, such as Gu Yao and Zheng Zhi, what he said was that Master Lichen said that Zheng Yuanyou should marry early, otherwise the marriage would not go well. told the truth, but didn't tell anyone, and the two of them worked hard to digest it themselves.

But it's not that easy to digest.

The fifteen-year-old daughter is about to get married, and she is married thousands of miles away, and Mrs. Shizi's heart, liver and lungs are not painful. Despite this, I still have to work hard to manage the marriage, and I will prepare for the big and festive things. Really, I grabbed a handful of salt on the wound, and I had to smile and say, this salt sprinkled me so comfortably.

I can't hold it-

"The third family, you guard outside, I'll go to the back and take a look at the girl."

"Sister-in-law, just go, I'm here."

When Mrs. Shizi arrived at the courtyard of her daughter, she saw a crowd of people in the main room, which was very lively; And Mrs. Shizi's heart is as cold and piercing as the world outside.

A room full of female dependents, all relatives of the Zheng and Xu families, saw Mrs. Shizi, got up one after another, and said with a smile: "I was about to ask someone to call Mrs. Shizi, but coincidentally, Mrs. came." ”

"Is this a coincidence? Knowing you're here, can I come and see you put on makeup? Less, I don't agree. ”

Mrs. Shizi said arrogantly, and if she was familiar with it, she replied: "In front of such wealth as the Zheng family, what we give is just a heart." If you think it's less, it's the wrong line. ”

The aunt and grandmother of the Zheng family married back to their uncle's family, and they were originally thousands of miles away from home, although they reunited with their families again with their in-laws' family going north, they still can't forget the hardships of the past. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law Qitang is too polite, in front of you, who dares to say that you are rich?" ”

In the midst of laughter, the makeup begins. In addition to the "poor" relatives like the Zhang family, the Wei Mansion, the Dingguo Mansion, and the aunts and grandmothers who got married, none of them paid less than two hundred taels of silver to add makeup.

Before long, it was the turn of a group of little sisters. Sisters are just one thing, and no one cares about the valuable. The elders were ready to move to the outside room for refreshments, but Xu Qidao: "Aunts and sisters-in-law, there are only three or five sisters in total. ”

That's right.

Zheng Yuanyou is only seven and a half years old cousin can give gifts, and the other two little cousins are not only young but also keep filial piety, and they are not allowed to enter the happy room today. There are even fewer cousins, in addition to Xu Qi, there is also Xu Ba's cousin, a total of two.

"Okay, then what have you three prepared, take it out quickly, and see what we can open our eyes. It just so happens that the three children are not allowed to be allowed to be others, if it is sent well, maybe I will give you a mother-in-law. ”

These words were too coarse, and when everyone looked at it, they saw that it was someone from the Zhang family who spoke, and they immediately pretended not to have heard it. For the Zhang family, Xu Qi didn't look at it at all, and he didn't hear this sentence, and still looked at his aunt and waited for the answer.

"Send it, send it."

Before the prince and wife of the Wei Mansion of the Xu family spoke, Xu Qi pulled Qiqi with great interest and said, "What about yours, we said that we would send the same together." ”

Qiqi was struck by lightning, and the hand that reached into the sleeve to touch the sachet froze directly.
