Chapter 458: Gentlemen Fight
Zheng Boyou prepared a carriage to send Dutu and Xiuxiu to Sima's Mansion, his face was a little solemn, and he had a trace of doubts about Nian'er's arrangement, but Nian'er's age was too young after all, and before going out, he just explained to Dutu, "Be careful on the road and take care of Niangniang." ”
"Got it!" Dutu's voice was very low, with a little hoarse and said in a low tone, turned around and went out to get into the carriage, Xiuxiu followed behind Dutu, lifted his skirt, pursed his lips and wanted to stride up, the center of gravity was not stable, it looked a little difficult, Dutu looked at Xiuxiu, and suddenly stretched out his hand and handed it to Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu saw a pair of big hands stretched out, and raised his head to look at Dutu without moving.
Dutu felt a little embarrassed, and when he was about to withdraw his hand, Xiuxiu put his hand on his hand, he was stunned, and a slight trembling feeling slipped from his heart, and then he took a deep breath and dragged Xiuxiu into the carriage, Xiuxiu boarded the carriage, calmly withdrew his hand from Dutu's hand, and then sat on his side, stroked the somewhat wrinkled skirt, and couldn't find any expression on his face.
Nian'er stood outside the door of the Zheng Mansion and looked at the carriage that was getting farther and farther away and waved at Xiuxiu, then turned around and walked in front of Zheng Boyou, "It seems that there have been many happy events in the Zheng Mansion recently!" ”
"Yes!" Zheng Boyou followed behind Nian'er, "Do you need to ask someone to prepare a room for the prince to rest?" ”
"I heard that Uncle Zheng is good at chess?" Nian'er asked, "The people in the palace always let me play chess with me, and I can't tell whether my chess is good or bad, why don't you play two games with Uncle Zheng?" ”
"The queen has always been good at playing chess, the prince said with a smile!" Zheng Boyou said respectfully, the tall figure followed behind Nian'er, lowered his head, the noon sun pulled the figures of the two as short, and the black turned into a ball on the ground, Zheng Boyou looked at Nian'er's smile, every word, and Nian'er was the opposite, he turned his head against the light, squinted his eyes and said, "My mother has been working hard for the day sacrifice ceremony recently, and I was able to play a few plates with Nian'er before, but recently my mother doesn't seem to be very happy about her father's affairs......" He shook his head and sighed," He didn't play chess with me much, my father didn't look down on Nian'er's chess, and he rarely played with Nian'er, only the gentlemen and doctors in the palace who came to the class, but they never tried their best, Zheng Bomo wanted to be polite with Nian'er. ”
"When it comes to playing chess, it's just a matter of personal preference and chess path, and winning or losing may not necessarily indicate the level." Zheng Boyou said.
"Uncle Zheng is still playing chess with me, so he has already comforted me, although Nian'er is young, it may not be as good as Uncle Zheng!" Nian'er said, with a bit of anger in her immature voice, Zheng Boyou quickly shook his head, "Zheng didn't mean that, he just said it casually, the prince doesn't have to think about it." He gave the surrounding people a look, and the surrounding people immediately arranged the chessboard for Nian'er, Nian'er sat at one end holding a black child, Zheng Boyou sat at the other end holding a white child, holding a white child in his hand and waiting for Nian'er to speak.
Nian'er glanced at the chessboard in front of her, then picked up the sunspot and landed on the chessboard, "I'm not polite to Uncle Zheng, make the first move!" ”
"Please!" Zheng Boyou said, and then his white son also fell.
Nian'er pondered for a while, and then picked up the black piece in his hand and played chess, after the chess roughly covered most of the chessboard, Nian'er's expression relaxed, and he chatted with Zheng Boyou without a word, "There have been many happy events in the Zheng Mansion in recent days, and it seems that it is the spirit of Aunt Twenty-Seven in the sky who blesses your Zheng family with prosperity." ”
"By the shadow of the King." Zheng Boyou said.
"If Aunt Twenty-Seven doesn't die, she won't be able to exchange for the prosperity of the Zheng family now, but Aunt Twenty-Seven is dead, and my mother is unhappy every day, and she plays music on the main hall of the East Palace every day, and her father is gradually estranged." Nian'er sighed and said, "Brother Dutu can marry the prince of Qi State, in the future, this Zheng State will be in trouble, Qi State will definitely help, think about it, I am still happy for Brother Dutu in my heart!" ”
"When the prince was young, he lived in my Zheng Mansion for a few days, and he also had some affection for Dutu." Zheng Boyou said.
"That's natural," Nian'er nodded, "If Brother Ditu has anything to need, Nian'er will definitely do his best to help, and my mother also said that if you treat the Zheng family as your own family, you don't have to be too out-of-the-box in everything!" ”
"From the perspective of the praise, failing to take care of Twenty-seven is a dereliction of duty by Zheng." Zheng Boyou said.
"Uncle Zheng, you are too polite," Nian'er dropped a chess piece, looked up at the tall Zheng Boyou in front of him, from Nian'er's memory to now, he found that the elegant and humble man in front of him who had been born and died for his mother was no longer young, and the vicissitudes of the years baptized his skin made him have a few more wrinkles on his smooth skin, and now he looks calm, as if nothing can move him anymore, "I regard Dutu as an elder brother, just as the king regards Uncle Zheng as his brother, If it weren't for full trust, how could you let the land of northern Jin go to your jurisdiction? ”
Zheng Boyou also raised his head, took his eyes back from the chessboard, and put it on Nian'er's face, although this child is not very old, but his mind is really not small, "I resigned and went to Jinbei, which did add a lot of trouble to the king, but fortunately, the king was not the same as the next care, and followed Zheng's thoughts, this kindness is really unrepayable." ”
"Father is not a person who casually lets you a chess piece, if he lets it, he will never ask Zheng Bobai to let it. Now that you have been told to do it, you just have to do it! Nian'er followed Zheng Boyou's words, picked out a white piece from the chess box and put it on the chessboard, "After all, the Jin Kingdom is closely attached to the territory of my Great Zhou, and it is restless here, the king will not be at ease one day, if there is news, report back earlier." ”
"Zheng understands," Zheng Boyou looked at Nian'er, some doubts, Ji Gongyu and his instructions to find Cheng Shi are very secret, Ji Gongyu also asked Zheng Boyou to keep it secret, not to tell anyone, because this matter has a great relationship with Uncle Zhao, afraid that once the secret is leaked, it will cause the panic of Uncle Zhao and the power nepotism formed by the Zhao family over the years, Zheng Boyou is well aware of the stakes, guessing that Ji Gongyu should not even tell Bao Xi, but now Nian'er seems to know it, he doesn't know how to answer for a while, had to follow Nian'er's words, "The king has already explained, and he has made up his mind not to disgrace his life, so please rest assured." ”
Nian'er raised his eyebrows and nodded, it seems that at last night's banquet, Ji Gongyu did tell Zheng Boyou to do something, as for what he did, Nian'er didn't need to listen anymore, saying too much was suspicious, he continued to pay attention to the chess in front of him, and didn't say more, this game of chess was lost by Nian'er, he smiled and bowed to Zheng Boyou, "It seems that Zheng Bo is arrogant, there is always some arrogant capital." ”
"Zheng's words just now are not ......" Zheng Boyou tried to explain, but Nian'er didn't let Zheng Boyou continue to say this, but picked up his own words and forcibly interrupted the other party, "My mother often says that Uncle Zheng is good at retreating as advance, and now I see that it is true!" The mother also said...... My chess path looks quite similar to my father's chess, but it lacks some of my father's strategy and strategy, it looks just like the shape, and I can't always do it like God, it seems that Nian'er is away from my father's road, but I'm afraid there is still a long way. ”
"It's not long." Zheng Boyou said, and he also weighed in his heart that it should be time to abolish Yijiu and seal Nian'er, Ji Gongyan's recent intentional estrangement from Bao Xi seems to be paving the way for this matter, he didn't want his son to become the prince of the East Palace on the first day, so he was impeached by the ministers, saying that Nian'er is a son and a mother.
Nian'er waved her hand, "It's very enjoyable to play chess with Uncle Zheng, why don't you play the game again, and when Sister Xiuxiu and Brother Dutu come back, we will turn back!" ”
"It's okay," Zheng Boyou nodded.
Nian'er put away the chess pieces on the chess surface, and then continued to play chess first, he relied on his young age, so he asked Zheng Boyou to let him go, and occasionally played a trick, so Zheng Boyou was helpless, he could only shake his head, and looked at the young Nian'er with the eyes of an elder, and his rest of the topics were no longer talking about state affairs with Zheng Boyou, but he became interested in Zheng Guo's national style, and Zheng Boyou told him about the characteristics of Zheng Guo's poetry, and nodded his head and listened extremely piously.
And Xiuxiu over there with Dutu, all the way speechless to Sima's house, because it is the relationship of the new mansion, now Dutu has resigned again, there are very few people in the house, and Xiuxiu opened the door of the house and said, "I'm afraid that as soon as the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky passes, all the people in the Zheng Mansion will have to be transferred, otherwise there will be not enough people on the wedding day." ”
"Report the number of people you need, and I'll arrange it." Digtu nodded.
"Can you see everything here?" Xiuxiu turned to Dig Tu and asked, stopping in his steps.
"I've seen it." Digtu nodded.
"Is there anything you don't like?" Xiuxiu asked, her hands were full of sweat, and her whole person looked very nervous.
"No, the mother's arrangement is proper, and I am grateful for my mother's kindness." Xiuxiu nodded, and started with the precautions for getting started, all the way to the wedding room, "After the church, it will be sent to the wedding room, and the bride will sit on this bed...... Xiuxiu said, patted the red satin mattress that she had personally selected, and gently brushed her fingers on the repaired mandarin duck silk thread, with a sad look on her face, "This bed, I'm afraid that the bride will be dissatisfied, and I don't know if it's good to choose?" ”
"Good!" Dutu nodded, looking at Xiuxiu's lost expression when he bent down, and felt a pain in his heart.
