Chapter 16: Heavy Pupils
The maid of the Zheng family hurriedly took Zheng Suxin in, and said courteously: "Madame is in the upper room of Xiaoqingxuan in the inner courtyard, and the eldest master is also there." ”
Xiaoqingxuan, the inner courtyard of the Zheng family, is the courtyard where Zheng Xiangrong lived before his death. Although she passed away, Master Zheng still ordered people to clean up this courtyard often, and the monthly quota was still allocated to Xiao Qingxuan's subordinates, and it never stopped, just like Zheng Xiangrong was still alive.
Zheng Suxin burst into tears like rain, choked up and said: "My sister went so early, no wonder my father and mother can't accept it, even if I have to cry every time I think about it, let alone them?" As he spoke, he wiped away his tears and went up to the second door in a sedan chair.
When she came to Xiaoqingxuan in the inner courtyard, Zheng Suxin saluted Master Zheng and Kang's family, and persuaded: "Father, mother, you mourn. ”
Old Man Zheng is over fifty years old, but he is still well-maintained, with a clear face, a pair of large and slender phoenix eyes, and a short beard under his chin, which is more stable and composed.
Kang's is a house-filler, ten years younger than Master Zheng, and now he is over forty, but he is still charming, with a pair of peach-blossom eyes, a white complexion, but the corners of his eyes are a little saggy, and he already has crow's feet.
"Frangipani is back." Master Zheng said politely, "Sit." ”
Zheng Suxin sat down on the brocade next to Master Zheng diagonally.
Kang wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "I'll go and tell the kitchen to prepare the dishes that frangipani loves to eat." ”
Zheng Suxin hurriedly stood up and said, "Mother doesn't have to be busy, I'll sit down and go back." I can't live without home. The home she said was, of course, the Wu family.
She is no longer part of the Zheng family.
Thinking of her daughter who died early, Kang was very gloomy, she stroked the lock pillow of brocade on the couch, shook her head and said, "We don't have this blessing if we want to." ”
Zheng Suxin didn't want her mother to be too sad, and said, "I just came back from the family temple and went to worship my sister, and I saw someone. As she said this, her eyes looked in both directions.
Kang waved lightly and let the people in the house go out.
Zheng Suxin waited for everyone to go out before lowering her voice and saying, "...... I saw the second prince Xia Zhao today. He's back. ”
The monk who worships Zheng Xiangrong in the Zheng family temple today is the second prince Xia Zhao.
As soon as he said that it was him, Kang's face was suddenly full of anger and annoyed: "He still has the face to come back?!" -- We want to be the one who harmed him! ”
Zheng Suxin sighed.
The Great Xia Dynasty had ancestral teachings that the four major families were not allowed to marry with the royal family.
The second prince, Xia Zhao, fell in love with Zheng Xiangrong at first sight, and fell in love vigorously, but he was confined to Zuxun and was not allowed to be together in the end.
Zheng Xiangrong couldn't afford to get sick and passed away just after his sixteenth birthday.
The second prince, Xia Zhao, was sued by the crown prince, saying that he violated the ancestral teachings and was not worthy of being a royal child, and wanted to drive him out.
Xia Zhao was angry, and was saddened by Zheng Xiangrong's death, so he shaved his hair and became a monk, left the palace, and went to his mother Jiang Guifei to become a monk in the Dajue Temple in the south.
After he left, Concubine Jiang hanged herself in the palace.
In the year of Zheng Xiangrong's death, the capital was also in turmoil, only a little better than when the Sheng family was killed.
For a thousand years, the four major families of Zhou, Wu, Zheng, and Sheng have never had a daughter marry into the royal family, and the royal princess has never married into the four major families, thus forming a good balance. There will never be a relative who can sit big enough to threaten the imperial power, but the four major families have also been preserved, until the generation of Emperor Xia Ming, the old man Sheng lost his hand, seriously injured the emperor, angered the queen mother, and ended up with a broken family.
Fortunately, the clan has not been wiped out yet, otherwise the other three major families will not sit idly by.
Master Zheng let out a long sigh and said, "Don't blame him. With the respect of a prince, he can become a monk in order to be able to become a monk, and this favor is enough. ”
Kang's cry thinned.
Zheng Suxin couldn't sit still, stood up and said, "It's okay for the two of you to know this news." Prince...... If you know, you can't do it. ”
Master Zheng nodded knowingly.
At the beginning, the crown prince actually deliberately grabbed this reason and squeezed the second prince away.
Because Emperor Xia Ming only had two sons, one was Xia Qi, the crown prince of Empress Zhao, and the other was Xia Zhao, the second prince of Jiang Guifei.
Originally, as the queen's concubine and the eldest son, the prince didn't need to squeeze his only younger brother like this.
But because the second prince Xia Zhao was deeply loved by the Queen Mother, he was raised by the Queen Mother in his palace from birth, and he was personally raised, which was much closer than the grandson of the prince.
Later, Emperor Xia Ming suddenly became seriously ill in bed, unable to see, unable to speak, unable to move, in the past ten years, the queen mother listened to the government in the court, and her power became stronger, which made the identity of the second prince also rise, and the queen and the prince were a little busy.
If it weren't for Zheng Xiangrong's incident, the prince really wouldn't have had a way to expel the second prince from the capital.
"Don't worry, we won't talk about it. Besides, the second prince is also here to worship and want to be Rong, we are too late to be happy, how can we make trouble with him? You're overthinking. Master Zheng said warmly, patted Kang's shoulder again, and comforted her softly.
Zheng Suxin sighed in her heart. Dad is such a good man, but his mother is not blessed......
"Mother, mourn. My sister has been gone for so long, if you are still so sad, my sister will not be at ease under Jiuquan. Zheng Suxin persuaded Kang's hard, and personally took a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
Kang said gratefully: "I saved it." It's just that today is her sacrifice day, and I feel uncomfortable, so it's good to cry for a while. ”
Zheng Suxin gossiped a few more words and went back to Wu's house.
She was really tired, so she went to arrange dinner, and went back to the house to rest.
"Mother, mother, you're back!" A little elf-like girl burst out of her room and said with a smile.
"Juan'er, you're naughty again." As soon as Zheng Suxin saw her daughter, she immediately felt tired and completely gone, and smiled at her climbing on her knees, hugging her neck and coquettishly.
Zheng Suxin's daughter Wu Chanjuan has just turned seven years old this year, and she is very beautiful, with a snow-white complexion, emerald thin eyebrows, a small and tall nose, moist lips, and especially a pair of smart big eyes, which are even more different.
Zheng Suxin looked at her daughter's eyes with satisfaction, and her heart was full of pride.
This daughter, when she was born, was blind and stupid, she felt that the sky was about to fall, and she didn't understand why she had been kind to others, but she couldn't even give birth to a healthy child!
But she was not discouraged, she carefully studied the Sheng family's medical prescriptions, and finally let her find a useful prescription to cure her daughter's eyes.
The day her daughter opened her eyes, everyone was amazed.
Because it's not an ordinary eye, it's a pair of pupils!
Chong Pupil said that the people of the Great Xia Dynasty had only heard of it in ancient books, and had never really seen it.
It is said that only saints are born with double pupils, and there are thousands of changes in the world, all of which have nothing to hide under the double pupils.
And Wu Chanjuan, a girl who was born blind, was born with heavy pupils!
