Chapter 697: Ice Release Suspicion
Zheng smiled, and his thin fingers stroked Qin Yining's forehead.
She couldn't imagine that she would be able to meet Qin Yining again this time, and she didn't expect that Qin Yining would treat her so hard, and in order to rescue her, she would make such a big fuss.
She asked herself if she was good to Qin Yining, this child has been lonely since she was a child, and she has no fate to be raised by her biological parents, even if she returns home and faces people close to her blood relatives, they are strangers who have first met after all, and her daughter is such a personality.
She knew that the Sun family was not good enough for Qin Yining. And what about her? The relationship with Qin Yining is not as deep as they meet.
Even after the accident in the Dingguo Mansion, the Zheng family was full of hatred in her heart, she wanted to take revenge and went crazy, and she used to use Qin Yining, and finally threw such a mess of the Qingtian League to her.
Although Qin Yining took over the Qingtian Alliance and had available people in his hands, the Zheng family also knew that that group of people in the rivers and lakes were not so easy to fiddle with, and the Qingtian Alliance was equivalent to a double-edged sword.
She gave Qin Yining the position of the leader of the alliance and gave her available subordinates, but in fact, she also let herself throw away her hands, no longer interfered in these things, picked up her family, and threw the trouble to Qin Yining.
After the Zheng family settled in the south with their grandchildren's daughters, they were taken care of by Qin Yining openly and secretly, and their lives gradually got on the right track.
Whether it was when the Dingguo Mansion was killed, Qin Yining was not afraid of provoking the fire at all, and stepped forward to help the Sun family's men collect the corpses, or Qin Yining's care for the Sun family's daughters without wanting to reciprocate, the Zheng family remembered it in their hearts. Always thinking about finding an opportunity to repay this child.
That's why there is a cloth village that opened in the old capital. Only this time she knew that Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining were coming by order, so she immediately took the first step, thinking of helping her get through the relationship and clear the obstacles.
It's a pity that she's old, and it's not like she's exhausted.
"It's grandma who is useless, she did bad things with good intentions, and she wanted to help you, but the more she helped, the more she helped." Zheng's mind turned, and he sighed helplessly.
Qin Yining hurriedly shook his head, took Zheng's hand and said, "Grandma, don't say that, we are a family, why do you care about those who have it or not?" By the way, due to the original situation, he didn't have a chance to greet you when I married the prince. ”
Qin Yining looked back at the owl who had been standing at the door.
Xiao Xiao immediately strode forward, gave a big salute to the Zheng family in the manner of Qin Yining, and after kowtowing, he called out respectfully: "Grandmother." ”
Zheng looked at Xiao Xiao, his eyes became extremely complicated, and he didn't respond for a long time.
Xiao Xiao knelt in place, knowing that Zheng would definitely have a knot in his heart, so he was not anxious, let alone urging, so he only knelt respectfully.
At the beginning of the war between the two countries, he was the vanguard officer of the attack on Dayan. In Xi Huacheng and other places, he has fought with Dingguo Gong.
Lao Dingguo and the generals of the Sun family are both iron-clad men, and he admires them very much.
It's just that the two sides have different positions, standing in a hostile position, and the saint thought of that kind of damage at the beginning, so he had to say that the queen mother wanted to eat some smart people's brains to cure the headwind, not only forced the talented Sun Yu to death, but also shocked the faint monarch and simply destroyed the Dingguo Mansion. Even children of a few years old have not escaped the fate of beheading.
Although he is not tired of cheating, Xiao Xiao still feels sorry for the son of the Sun family, and he even secretly went to collect the body of the male of the Sun family, but he was preempted by the original Sister Yi.
His thoughts and his secret practices, the Duchess of Dingguo naturally would not know. In the eyes of the Zheng family, Xiao Xiao is probably just the culprit of the Sun family's annihilation that ganged up with Li Qitian in the first place, right?
Thinking about it like this, he even felt that Zheng didn't have a big ear scraper to smoke him, which was already a good cultivation.
Qin Yining looked at Xiao Xiao, then at Zheng, and shouted a little nervously: "Grandmother ......"
Zheng sighed helplessly and said, "Get up, let's all sit down and talk." ”
Seeing that Zheng's expression was as usual, Qin Yining breathed a sigh of relief, got up with Xiao Xiao, and sat on the edge of the bed with a pestle each.
Zheng Shi looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "I actually hated you earlier. ”
Qin Yining frowned worriedly.
Xiao Xiao also smiled helplessly and did not answer.
Zheng said: "However, as time goes by, the sadness recedes a little, and I can calm down and think, and my hatred for you will not be so deep. Besides, you have become my grandson-in-law.
"In order to find Sister Yi'er, you even resisted thirty-three holy decrees, and personally led people to Tatar to find her back, not only did you suspect her, but you have always been so good to her. Just by looking at it, I think you're a good boy. ”
Hearing Zheng say this, Qin Yining suddenly breathed a big sigh of relief.
Xiao Xiao was still smiling, waiting for Zheng's later words.
"When the Northern Ji Kingdom and Dayan were fighting, Sister Yi'er's father used a trick and indirectly harmed your father. Although the main reason for the death of General Xiao was because of the suspicion of the Northern Ji Kingdom, Sister Yi and her father did use a plan. Between you and her, there is a layer of paternal enmity, but you can think about it, let go of the hatred, and treat her well.
"There is a wrong, there is a debtor, I have lived a lot of years, how can I not think about this?
"Although you are the vanguard officer of the attack on Dayan, you are also responsible for the death of Grandpa Guo and my children and grandchildren. But the main responsibility is not yours, you are also doing what you are told. If you want to blame, first of all, you should blame the faint king and the demon queen, and blame the demon queen's father Cao Guozhang.
"I have taken my revenge, and I have seen it. Now I see that you are so good to Sister Yi'er, and Sister Yi is also sincerely living with you. Let those past grudges be put aside. ”
Zheng's words, and Qin Yining's hearts were moved.
It was rare for the Zheng family to think so clearly, Qin Yining thought that she would have to spend at least a lot of time to persuade her, but she didn't expect that the matter would be solved so easily.
"Grandmother, do you really want to open it?" Qin Yining took Zheng's hand and shook it.
Zheng sighed: "What else can't you think of? The dead are gone, and the living must continue to live. Am I going to pinch those so-called grudges forever for the sake of the deceased, and then stir up your life without peace? What's more, there is a debtor who is wronged, I am not an unreasonable person, where can I be angry with him? ”
Qin Yining's tears almost fell. She blinked vigorously before she could hold back the vicious tears, and took Zheng's hand and said, "Grandmother, it's great that you can think about it." ”
Xiao Xiao also stood up and swept the floor: "Grandmother, thank you." ”
Zheng laughed: "My own family, why do you need to say thank you, is it that in your minds, I am the kind of stubborn dead brain?" ”
"Naturally not." Qin Yining hurriedly explained.
Zheng smiled and nodded Qin Yining's forehead, seeing that his granddaughter's face was full of sincere joy and was not mixed with haze at all, and saw that although Xiao Xiao was standing aside, his warm and soft eyes had always fallen on Qin Yining's body, and the doting and love in his eyes were unconcealed.
These two children have real feelings, can find someone they really love when they are young, can form a family life together, and support each other without abandoning, what can she, as a grandmother, have too high requirements for her grandson-in-law?
As soon as the words were spoken, the tense atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed.
Qin Yining smiled and talked to the Zheng family about the affairs of the Sun family, and also talked about the affairs of the family, and later ordered people to go to Haosheng to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, today she can finally have a reunion with her grandmother, not to mention how excited she is.
Zheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw Qin Yining happy like a child, the child was doing well, and she, an elder, was relieved.
After laughing for a while, Zheng suddenly remembered something, and said, "Has the prince now taken control of the army?" ”
She had already heard that it was the soldiers and horses who came into the city today to deter those victims, and at the same time forced Governor Yang to solve the civil unrest this time.
Xiao Xiao nodded and said, "I have mastered it for the time being." ”
He calmly told Zheng what he told Qin Yining about the situation in the army on the return trip.
Zheng shook his head and said, "I have a piece of advice, I don't know if the prince can listen to me." ”
"Grandmother, please." Xiao Xiao said seriously.
Zheng's color was very serious, and he said equally seriously: "This Pingnan Army, the prince can still not be contaminated, and try to hand over the power as much as possible." ”
Qin Yining blinked in surprise, and he didn't know why for a while.
Xiao Xiao saluted respectfully and said, "Please also ask my grandmother for advice." ”
Zheng waved his hand and said: "You came to the old capital this time suddenly, you still don't know many situations, when the Great Zhou defeated Dayan and occupied the capital, he arranged for Liuguan. In order to show benevolence, it was announced that the local tax would be exempted for ten years. ”
"This is indeed the case." ”
"However, you all know that the treasury in the court is empty, and now you can't afford to raise so many soldiers and horses, but you still need the Pingnan Army to suppress the situation in the south.
"But the old capital exempted the people from taxes for ten years, and if there is no tax, what will the local people use to pay the Pingnan army?
At this time, a man named Lu Zhang came up with an idea.
"This person is a local head snake, and he has a very good way, and he actually got in touch with the time-honored brand 'Sitonghao', so that Sitonghao agreed to borrow money to pay the Pingnan army.
That amount of money solved the urgent need of the Pingnan army, and this Lu Zhang made a lot of money from the middle, for example, only one hundred taels, but he wrote a thousand taels on the IOU, and the difference went into his own pocket, but ordinary soldiers could still only eat and wear.
"Therefore, although the current Pingnan Army seems to be stable, there are many crises in it, and a four-way number does not know when to collect debts, as long as there is a debt collection, it must be a big hole that you can't plug. Second, it is estimated that the last time I borrowed the money is almost gone, and now it is the New Year, and we will face the problem of payment at the beginning of the year.
"That's why I said, you should try not to get involved in the affairs of the Pingnan Army."
