The ceremony of the ancients is actually very simple, and it is not cumbersome, Zheng Yichen bowed three times and bowed nine times under the auspices of Zhang Zimo, and presented a message to the spirit card that did not exist the soul of the ancestors, the ceremony of the ancestral hall, even if it is completed, the next thing is to sit together and have a meal, which is a celebration, if it is a big event, it is just more onlookers and more tables for eating.

As Zheng Xuan personally wrote Zheng Yichen's name on the ancestral hall genealogy, Zhang Zimo began to preside over the last link.

"After the ceremony, my sister-in-law will meet my mother!"

Zheng Yichen got up under Zhang Zimo's arrangement, bowed his head slightly to the Ma family, who had already been prepared behind him, and shouted: "Mother!"

And Ma Shi was also full of loving smiles, stretched out his hand to help Zheng Yichen up, and replied kindly: "The child doesn't have to be polite, get up quickly." ”

At this point, the ceremony is completely completed, Zheng Yichen got rid of his status as a concubine for many years and became a disciple of the Zheng family, correspondingly, he also has the rights that only the children of the main family can have.

Zheng Xuan was extremely relieved to see the completion of the ceremony, especially the 'amiability' between Zheng Yichen and Ma, he stood up and smiled:

"Today's big joy, don't stand here, go, go to dinner, and give everyone in the house a five-dollar red envelope, everyone is happy. ”

Zheng Xuan ordered, everyone below put on a smiling face, the servants were naturally happy, and they had five coins of silver to take, and as for whether the three brothers Ma and Zheng Yichen were really happy, then the benevolent will see the benevolent, and the wise will see the wise.

The dinner table is homely, needless to say.

Zheng Yichen returned to his courtyard, Wang Zhi waited here early, saw Zheng Yichen coming back, and hurriedly greeted him:

"Childe, you're back, did the ceremony go well?"

Looking at Wang Zhi with fiery eyes, Zheng Yichen imperceptibly showed a trace of disappointment in his eyes, Wang Zhi was more speculative than loyal to himself, if there was a better choice than himself that day, he would not have any hesitation, just choose to leave, or even betray himself.

Zheng Yichen didn't show the slightest performance, just smiled and said, "Thanks to Mr. To, everything is going well!"

Hearing Zheng Yichen's affirmation, Wang Zhi's face couldn't hide the enthusiasm, but it seemed that he was happy for Zheng Yichen, he stood in place and rubbed his hands, and kept whispering:

"That's good, that's good, it's good!"

Zheng Yichen smiled and didn't say much, turned around and walked towards the study, only Cui'er didn't show anything, and prepared a cup of hot tea early according to Zheng Yichen's habits, waiting for Zheng Yichen.

Zheng Yichen left, Wang Zhi finally reacted, a trace of remorse flashed on his face, and hurriedly followed to divert the topic:

"Then I don't know what Childe's next arrangements are?"

Zheng Yichen and Wang Zhi walked into the study together, and Zheng Yichen asked rhetorically:

"I don't know what Mr. thinks, what should we do next?"

Wang Zhi thought about it and immediately said:

"Now it's different from the past, Childe is already a child of the main family, and he should expand some of his own contacts, and if he wants something in the future, he can also have someone to use. ”

After Wang Zhi finished speaking, Zheng Yichen shook his head with a smile:

"No, we should still be the same as before, not going anywhere, not seeing anyone. ”

After speaking, Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment, Zheng Yichen didn't wait for the other party to speak, and answered by himself:

"The reason why I am here today is because my father thinks about the old feelings, and the previous things are just to make up for the loss, not really want me to do anything, we have to put our position right, what kind of person my father wants to see, I want to be what kind of person, and as for those connections, when we really have something to ask, we will have the confidence to make friends with them. ”

Zheng Yichen took a sip of tea and closed the coffin:

"It's early. ”

After Zheng Yichen finished speaking, Wang Zhi reacted quickly, and at the same time had to admire Zheng Yichen's mentality, this question can actually be understood by Wang Zhi, but he was blinded by the great joy of Zheng Yichen's promotion to the disciple of the main family, and he didn't see through it for the time being.

Wang Zhi knew that he was a little out of shape today, so he had to stand up and say:

"Today's son has been busy for a day, and he must be tired, so I won't continue to bother, and Childe should rest early. ”

Zheng Yichen hurriedly stood up, sent Wang Zhi to the door, and said with a smile:

"Sir, please go slowly, wait a minute, I will let Cui'er come out of the account room with five taels of silver, which is considered a red envelope for today's happy event, and please don't shirk Mr. ”

Zheng Yichen's attitude was sincere, and it seemed that he did not have any dissatisfaction at all because of Wang Zhi's two gaffes, Wang Zhi couldn't help but feel ashamed when he saw it, so he had to bow his head and say: "Thank you for the reward." And he left here.

Zheng Yichen smiled and watched Wang Zhi leave, his eyes flashed imperceptibly, and in the distant Divine Palace, a divine soldier flew out and followed Wang Zhi's side.

The news of Zheng Yichen's succession to the Ma family has been stirring for a period of time in Jiannan Road, and even the entire Shu County, and there is an endless stream of invitations and letters from all over the country, but Zheng Yichen does not refuse to come, and accepts them all, but he does not reply to the letter, which not only retains a bit of affection, but also clears up the relationship, and reads quietly in the courtyard alone, and goes to meet Ma and Zheng Xuan from time to time, and does a filial piety, which can be regarded as free.

Zheng Yichen's quietness made Ma unable to use many means, so he could only watch Zheng Yichen constantly spin in front of Zheng Xuan, always reminding Zheng Xuan that he still had such a filial son, and even during this time, Zheng Yilang and Zheng Yiheng often came to visit Zheng Xuan and Ma.

The days passed so leisurely, in a blink of an eye, summer went to autumn, after five consecutive days of heavy rain at the end of summer, he rode a flying horse and flew into the Hou Ye's mansion in the middle of the night, Zheng Xuan had already fallen asleep, but he still ignored the cold night in early autumn, got up, and woke Zhang Zimo up from home and invited him to the study.

In the study, several lanterns illuminated the room brightly, and a small fire made the room warm and not cold, Zheng Xuan sat on the top, lowered his head, frowned deeply, and looked at the letter in his hand.

A knight changed into dry clothes and sat down to drink ginger soup, Zheng Xuan looked at it for a while, sighed slightly, and handed the paper to Zhang Zimo, who hurriedly swept it and frowned.

"Compared with last year, the flood of the Sui River is even more serious!"

Zheng Xuan opened his mouth melancholy, with a hint of unbearable on his face, because the post newspaper from the imperial court was too miserable.

Since the end of summer, the whole south has begun to rain continuously, which is the most serious in Shu County, because of the lack of communication with the outside world, a large number of building materials can not be transported in, and the corruption of Shu County officials is rampant, the flooding of the Sui River this year, once again broke through a new high, there is such an introduction in the post newspaper, which can reflect one or two:

"The flood of the Sui River stretched for thousands of miles, ravaging more than 100 cities in three counties, millions of people were affected, and more than 10 cities were completely submerged, and the people in it suffered heavy casualties. Thousands of corpses!"
