Chapter 411: Fishing for People from Fanjing Mountain
Author: Skyrim Drive
Generally, the princes and princes are selected to read together, and they are only selected among the sons-in-law, and the concubines are directly not qualified, unless they are hand-picked by the emperor. Bayi Chinese ≈. Zheng Xiuyu's eight-year-old child was born to a concubine, so he didn't conform to the rules, so he was naturally not considered. It's just that Zheng Xiuyu's words shocked Feng Ran again! The Zheng family actually wants to accept a concubine! And listening to Zheng Xiuyu's tone, it seems that there is more than just a concubine!
Feng Ran suppressed the shock in his heart, pretended to be flat and smiled: "Hehe, I don't think Brother Nian will accept concubines...... I thought that the Zheng family would not take concubines. ”
In fact, in Fengmeng Da 6, because of the long-term spread of the law of nobles, the gap between the rich and the poor is huge, the rich will take more concubines, and the poor will not be able to marry relatives. The poor family is also willing to sell their daughter to a rich family as a concubine, just like they are willing to sell their son into a small house to be a child, at least it is a way to live.
It's just that in the past ten years, He Yue has vigorously abolished the law of nobility in all aspects, and if he can't suppress the rich and help the poor, he will strive to improve the lives of the people, reduce taxes and taxes, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment, and at least be able to support themselves and their families. Therefore, this trend of selling children and daughters at every turn has gradually been curbed and changed.
Zheng Xiuyu also smiled and said, "That's Brother Nian's luck, when he liked his sister-in-law, he hadn't gotten married." Zheng Xiuyu's smile and words concealed a sense of envy. Think about it, if you get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, where do you know what to like or dislike, it is about to be married when the family calls it marriage. Later, when I understand love and have someone I like, I can only accept it as a concubine, and I can only make the person I like wronged.
If you want to say that the men of the Zheng family have no choice but to take the person they like as a concubine, but Zheng Xiuyu actually accepted two concubines, what is the reason for this? However, when it comes to personal affairs, Feng Ran is not good to ask more, and he knocks on the side from a different angle and says: "Your Zheng family, are you all married so early?" At least when Zheng Xiunian became his death guard at the age of eighteen, he did not get married.
Zheng Xiuyu asked Feng Ran one after another, about a little vigilant, and said vaguely: "When you get married, it doesn't matter, it depends on the situation." ”
Thinking that there were at least three ladies in Zheng Xiuyu's room, Feng Ran didn't dare to ask Zheng Xiuyu how many children he had. If Zheng Xiuyu replied that he had more than a dozen children, plus a few grandchildren, and he was only in his thirties, he would already have a full house of children and grandchildren, and Feng Ran felt that he would definitely collapse when he heard it! Feng Ran thought about it and felt that it was better to go straight to the point, so he asked: "Brother Yu, I have always been very strange, why do the Zheng family members live on Fanjing Mountain?"
"Heh, I've always lived in the mountains. Isn't this answer the same as not answering?
Feng Ran went straight to the door again: "Isn't it more convenient to take care of you when you come to live in the city?"
"Oh, they live in the mountains, they are used to it, and they don't want to come down. Besides, they don't live in the city, so we don't have to worry about doing things. ”
Sure enough, the Zheng family consciously placed their family members in the mountains to avoid possible coercion. Hide your weaknesses first, so that the Zheng family man can give it a go at any time, and there is no worry at all. Even if you give it a go, all the men of the Zheng family will die, and in a few years, the children on the mountain will grow up and become men of the Zheng family again.
The Zheng family's art of war was not studied in vain.
Feng Ran returned to a casual look, and said: "Brother Yu, I was thinking a few days ago, Brother Nian has been stationed in Zhe Country for a few years, and he came back to save a kiss in the middle, and got together with his cousin-in-law, Brother Nian hasn't seen Uncle Nian for a few years, I count that Brother Nian should come back to save his relatives again, and I want to take Uncle Nian down the mountain, so that when Brother Nian comes back to save his relatives next time, he can see Uncle Nian and talk." Zheng Xiunian has always wanted to take his mother from Fanjing Mountain and live with himself, Ji Ziyan and the children, just like an ordinary small family. Since you have taken people out, you will not send them back casually.
Zheng Xiuyu said: "I have to ask the second uncle for instructions on this matter." "The second uncle in Zheng Xiuyu's mouth is Zheng Jia, the current head of the Zheng family.
"Huh. Feng Ran smiled and said: "The second uncle is far away in Shefeng Castle, hiding in Langkunning Mountain." When you go to ask the second uncle for instructions, Brother Nian's provincial period has long passed. He added: "Isn't Brother Yu the head of the young family, these little things should be able to be the master, right?"
Zheng Xiuyu didn't answer for a while, and Feng Ran said again: "No, you can discuss it with grandpa?"
Zheng Chengbi doesn't care much about the affairs of the Zheng family in recent years, and seems to be immersed in the fun of teasing his great-grandson, and runs to the commander's mansion almost every day, playing with Brother An with the sound of the wind, like an old playboy. Zheng Chengbi no longer cares about things, and he is also the former head of the family, and when Zheng Jia was away, Feng Ran asked Zheng Xiuyu to discuss with Zheng Chengbi, which can be regarded as a compromise.
At the same time, Feng Ran knew that no matter how much Zheng Chengbi played Xingda, he could not be an old playboy, and he couldn't be completely at ease with Zheng Chengbi in his heart. Choosing a companion to read to Feng He Xiangxiang, which also hides the meaning of wanting Feng He Xiang to alienate Zheng Chengbi after playing with his peers.
Zheng Xiuyu had no choice but to respond: "Oh, okay." ”
Feng Ran said again: "Also, Your Majesty wants to choose a companion for Brother Xiang from the Zheng family, and you also discuss with your grandfather Haosheng, this person should be a good student, first of all, he must be a son-in-law, and secondly, he must cultivate both civil and military." Brother Yu, Your Majesty secretly sealed your prince Shaobao, you should understand what Your Majesty means, what is the future and role of Xiang'er's companion reading in the future, you must know in your heart. ”
Zheng Xiuyu is colorful: "Got it." I'll take care of this. ”
"In the past two months, you are in a hurry, choose two or three children, bring them to me, leave a suitable eye, and then live in the house and play with Xiang'er first. Feng Ran looked at the two small figures on the martial arts training ground again, and said with a smile: "In the future, this martial arts training ground will be lively, and at least three children will follow you to practice." ”
"Why are there only three?" shouldn't the prince have four children, plus the prince should have five children.
Feng Ran said: "Xiang'er's companion, Your Majesty plans to choose a child of a Confucian minister, a child of the clan who is a generation higher than Xiang'er, a child of the Mao family, and another one, a child of the Zheng family." I estimate that the children of ministers and clans will not practice martial arts, but it is not necessarily, if they want to practice, you can teach them as usual, just be careful not to spoil their practice. ”
"I'll save it. Zheng Xiuyu lowered his voice and asked: "Xiao Ran, ask the children of the Mao family to read to Brother Xiang'er, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?"
Feng Ran said lightly: "It was proposed by His Majesty, and he said that he was also a cousin with Xiang'er." He Yue is not completely ruthless to Queen Mao in the end, but this "love" is not the love of men and women, which is reassuring to Feng Ran. Feng Ran also doesn't like He Yue to be a ruthless person, just have a degree in everything. Besides, Queen Mao must have sent a message to the Mao family before she died, asking the Mao family to defect to him and jointly assist Feng He Xiangxiang to succeed to the throne. Therefore, before Feng He Xiangxiang succeeded to the throne, it was impossible for the Mao family to play any tricks in front of Feng Ran or secretly stumble and dismantle the stage, so when He Yue proposed to choose Mao's children to read to Feng He Xiang as a companion, Feng Ran did not express his position. Feng Ran laughed in a low voice: "In the future, you should pay more attention to the words and deeds of the Mao family." When I went back to choose someone, I chose an honest one from the children of the Mao family. ”
Then Feng Ran looked up at the two people who were still kicking and punching in the middle of the martial arts training field, it was already the beginning of October, the weather was slightly cold, but the two people on the field had already practiced their faces crimson, sweating profusely, especially Feng He Xiang couldn't stop gasping for breath, a little distressed, and asked, "How long do you have to practice?"
Zheng Xiuyu pointed to a large incense burner placed on the sidelines: "The second incense stick hasn't burned yet?"
Feng Ran saw that there should be three sticks of incense in the big incense burner, one branch has been burned, one branch has burned more than half, and one branch has not yet started, asking: "How long do you want to practice three sticks of incense?" The three sticks of incense are about half an hour, and Feng Ran said: "Forget it, let's practice for a while today." ”
Zheng Xiuyu was silent for a moment before he said: "Xiao Ran, it's not that I said you, you are too spoiled to be a child, so you can't teach it well." It's not a big deal to practice less today, but as soon as this example is opened, it won't be easy to manage later...... If you teach him with the momentum of leading an army, how can he be like this now?"
Feng Ran didn't say anything anymore, stood on the sidelines and watched the children practice, and said, "My own son, naturally it hurts." Brother Yu, you are away all the year round, and the child is not around, so you can't hurt the child if you want to. "How can you train your son like a soldier? Only a person like Zheng Xiuyu who only cares about giving birth and not raising himself can say such things.
Zheng Xiuyu was silent again, and after a while, he lowered his voice again and asked, "Xiao Ran, you arranged the affairs of Brother Xiang and Brother Nian in such a hurry, are you going to fight the bandits?"
Everyone learned the Zheng family's art of war, and Feng Ran knew that his actions could not be hidden from Zheng Xiuyu, although Zheng Xiuyu's question was too much to ask, Feng Ran still responded: "Hmm." ”
Zheng Xiuyu's breathing suddenly became rough, and then he gasped very controllably, and said, "Xiao Ran! Fight the bandit Jia, kill Yaoqian, you can't leave our Zheng family aside!"
Now the people of the Zheng family, most of the Zheng family's army are located in the northern camp of the Gyeonggi garrison, accompanied by Zheng Jia, were sent by Feng Ran to Shefeng Fort, ambushed into the Langkunning Mountains, it is a sharp knife that can be killed at any time to Shefeng Fort to attract the Wuhei barbarian army to garrison and rescue, Zheng Xiunian was stationed in Zhe State Admiral Feng Guo in Zhe State All the soldiers and horses in Zhe State, these two groups of people are obviously impossible to transfer back to Feng State for a while, let alone send out to attack Bandit Jia in the next spring.
The Zheng family stayed in Chenghua City, only the five hundred Zheng family elites led by Zheng Xiuyu who joined the army of the Commander's Mansion, and one was Zheng Chengbi.
Feng Ran was also silent for a while, and then said: "I am also the grandson of the Zheng family, and I will ...... for the Zheng family."
Before Feng Ran finished speaking, Zheng Xiuyu interrupted: "The old man said that my Zheng family's century-old family feud wants the descendants of the Zheng family to avenge themselves." ”
