"Wearing small shoes? Why do you want me to wear small shoes? Zheng Yi looked at Cai Xiaoxiao with a confused expression and asked.

Zhao Kangcheng was also puzzled.

Cai Xiaoxiao was stunned, and then thought that this word only appeared in modern times, and ancient people had never heard of it, so she pondered the words in her heart and explained: "Wearing small shoes means that you will make trouble for people in private, revenge in private or personal vendetta or something like that." ”

"Then why do you call wearing small shoes?" Zheng Yi still asked puzzled.

Cai Xiaoxiao said: "You think, no one will choose a pair of shoes smaller than their own feet, then it can only be given by others." I once saw an allusion in the book, the content of the story is probably as follows: There is a girl named Qiaoyu, her stepmother wants to marry her to a rich man who is deaf and dumb, but this girl does not agree to this family business, so this family business is yellow, so Qiaoyu's stepmother holds a grudge.

Later, Qiaoyu fell in love with a showman, and the two fell in love. Qiaoyu was ready to marry the man, but the stepmother knew about it, and the stepmother secretly made a pair of very small shoes and asked people to bring them to the man, so the man made a pair of wedding shoes according to the shoe shape. On the day of Qiaoyu's wedding, she couldn't wear anything, which delayed the auspicious time and made her unable to get on the sedan chair, so Qiaoyu was ashamed, annoyed, and anxious, and hanged herself in a fit of anger. ”

"What!" Zheng Yi listened to the story with a fascinate face, and when he heard it, he opened his mouth in surprise, and a look of regret appeared on his face, "How can it be ......like this?"

Cai Xiaoxiao: "......" What the hell does your face look like listening to the story!

At this time, Zhao Kangcheng said: "This is the origin of wearing small shoes, right?" ”

Cai Xiaoxiao looked at him and nodded: "That's right." ”

"I see." Zheng Yi suddenly realized, slapped the palm of his left hand with a fist with his right hand, and said, "I've learned a new word again!" This is the second word I learned from Cai Xiaoxiao after the word "come on".

"Hehe......" Cai Xiaoxiao smiled dryly, thinking: This topic is really biased to the Himalayas......

"But where do you come from this allusion?" Zhao Kangcheng suddenly asked curiously.

"Ah, that, I don't remember......" Cai Xiaoxiao scratched her cheeks slightly and said with a dry smile, "I just think it's a pity that the Qiaoyu girl in this story is too bad, so I accidentally remembered this story, heh, hehe......"

"That's right, that's right, it's so pitiful, that one called Qiaoyu." Zheng Yi nodded in agreement.

Cai Xiaoxiao: "......" Are you really here to listen to the story?

Cai Xiaoxiao asked Zheng Yi angrily: "So, aren't you worried that you will be put in small shoes by that left minister's daughter?" She pulled the conversation back to the original topic.

When Zheng Yi heard this, he waved his hand with a relaxed face, and said, "If she dares to wear small shoes for me, I will sue her Laozi." ”

"Huh?" Cai was stunned.

Zheng Yi explained: "The last time sister-in-law, when you were almost hit by her horse, I inquired about the daughter of the Zuo Xiang family, it is said that this daughter has been living in a rented house before, and was not taken back by the Zuo Xiang until more than a year ago, and then Xu was spoiled by her rental, anyway, as soon as the daughter of the left minister came to the capital, all the big and small disasters have been broken, and many disasters have to let the Zuo Xiang clean up the mess behind her." ”

Cai Xiaoxiao listened, frowned slightly, and said, "It seems that this Zuo Xiang is a favorite daughter." "The daughter is in trouble in the front, and the father is in trouble in the back, which is a typical behavior of spoiling daughters.

"Maybe." Zheng Yi said, "I heard that Zuo Xiang loved his wife very much, but his wife died of illness more than ten years ago, and Zuo Xiang couldn't take care of his wife during his wife's illness because he was busy with court affairs......

Cai Xiaoxiao and Zhao Kangcheng suddenly raised their eyebrows in tacit understanding: This can also be called love?

Zheng Yi didn't notice the subtle movements of the two, and continued: "So after Mrs. Zuo Xiang passed away, Zuo Xiang was very self-blaming and guilty, and even decadent for a long time, and it was because of this that he handed over his daughter to his father-in-law's family to take care of, and this care was taken care of for more than ten years. ”

"Because of this, Zuo is also full of guilt for his daughter, so he dotes on his daughter very much, so he lets his daughter get into trouble, and then cleans up the mess in the back, right?" Cai Xiaoxiao said.

"No, no, no." Zheng Yi waved his hand and said, "It may be certain to pamper your daughter, but it is not okay to let her get into trouble, on the contrary, I heard that Zuo Xiang hates his daughter very much for causing trouble outside, and if the trouble is serious, he will even teach his daughter a hard lesson - this is from a servant in Zuo Xiang's mansion." ”

"The servant of the Zuo Xiangfu ......" Cai Xiaoxiao's throat shook, and he asked in some surprise, "You actually found out that the servant of the Zuo Xiangfu is on the job?" Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the left phase? ”

Zheng Yi smiled: "It's okay, I just asked some inconsequential servants, and I won't let Zuo Xiang find out." ”

"Can you ...... It's really bold......" Cai Xiaoxiao convinced him.

"Hey, hey." Zheng Yi smiled, then turned his head to look at Zhao Kangcheng and said, "There must be something that Brother Zhao must have heard of." ”

"What?" Zhao Kangcheng looked at him confusedly.

"About the struggle between King Jiang and the crown prince." Zheng Yi suddenly lowered his voice and said.

Zhao Kangcheng was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand why Zheng Yi suddenly mentioned this, but he still nodded and said, "Well, I know." "Since you are going to enter the court as an official, you naturally have to understand the situation of the court in advance in order to find a way to survive, otherwise if you go to the court without knowing anything, you are likely to step into a trap or fall into a trap that you don't know.

"The struggle between King Jiang and the crown prince?" Cai Xiaoxiao was listening, with a puzzled face, and guessed, "Isn't it taking the heir?" ”

"Huh? Sister-in-law, how do you know? Zheng Yi and Zhao Kangcheng looked at her with some surprise.

"Ah, uh, uh...... Isn't this often done on the stage......" Cai Xiaoxiao said with a dry smile, "The emperor's sons are fighting for the throne or something......"

"How do you know that King Jiang is the emperor's son?" Zhao Kangcheng asked.

"Isn't it?" Cai Xiaoxiao asked rhetorically, "I'm just guessing, because isn't it the emperor's son who is fighting on the stage?" So I subconsciously thought that this King Jiang was also the emperor's son, right? ”

"It's not." Zhao Kangcheng said, "King Jiang is the emperor's younger brother, but his age is not much different from the crown prince. ”

"Oh." Cai Xiaoxiao didn't care very much, she asked, "So, what does this King Jiang and the crown prince have to do with this Zuo Xiang and Zuo Xiang's daughter?" Isn't this leftist phase one of them? ”
