Chapter 142 is not a big deal

Zheng Lao Er and Wang Xinghua sat in the carriage, and the fire in the carbon basin in the carriage drove away the chill on their bodies. This border city is even colder than expected. Foot-long ice cubes hung on the eaves, and pedestrians on the street were wrapped in leather jackets, hurrying to and fro. At every 100 paces, you can see a group of soldiers clearing the streets, and another group of 10 soldiers patrolling the streets. Everyone did not interfere with each other, and there was no loud conversation between them, which shows that military discipline is strict. The gaze of passers-by did not linger much on these soldiers, and it was clear that Stone was accustomed to it.

It's more prosperous than imagined, even in the cold winter, the entire border city is full of vitality.

But half an hour, the carriage stopped in the square in front of the Shuaifu, Liu Xinfu got out of the carriage, and whispered, "You two wait in the carriage first, and I'll go and report." You may have to wait a while. ”

Zheng Lao Er said busily, "I'm tired"

When Liu Xinfu left, Wang Xinghua said, "This handsome mansion is built like a city, I really didn't expect it." ”

Zheng Lao Er nodded, "No wonder it's the frontier, so heavily guarded." ”

Over there, Liu Xinfu was about to let the guards guarding the door report, and happened to meet Xiao Er, who was about to go out. Hurriedly stepped forward and told the story.

Xiao Erleng paused, "The surname Zheng is looking for the little master?" Seeing Liu Xinfu nodding, he immediately said, "Take me over" I guessed in my heart, could it be that the master of the in-laws came over?

Zheng Lao Er still had an impression of Xiao Er, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly beckoned Wang Xinghua to get out of the carriage.

Xiao Er took a few steps and hurriedly bowed, "It turned out to be the second master and Wang Ye, please come inside." He also explained to Liu Xinfu, "Wait, the master will be rewarded." ”

Liu Xinfu said politely, "It's just your duty." ”

Zheng Qingluan also got the letter, and hurriedly came out to greet her, and when she saw the two of them, Zheng Qingluan's tears almost fell, she was really homesick.

"Second uncle, brother-in-law. Zheng Qingluan ran over, tugging on Zheng Er's sleeve and not letting go, "Why are you here? You have suffered a lot of sins along the way" Without waiting for the two to answer, he instructed Xiao Er, "You take it with you first, go wash first, and go to get rid of the chill on your body." Then call the medicine pestle and check the pulse well. ”

Zheng Lao Er looked at the little niece with a smile, "I'll go wash first, and we'll talk later." ”

Wang Xinghua also smiled, "The climate in the border city is really unbearable for a while." ”

After Xiao Er took the people to wash, Zheng Qingluan hurriedly ordered, "Get a pot, clear soup." A little bit of all kinds of dishes, a few more plates of beef and mutton. Bring a few more hot baked cakes, I'm afraid I'll have to quench my hunger first. ”

Baiyi smiled and said, "These kitchens are always available, they will be good for a while, where are they placed?"

"The study in the outer courtyard is placed on the kang table. Zheng Qingluan commanded, but his heart was not idle at all. Something must have happened at home, otherwise I wouldn't have come over at this time. And the two of them obviously came in a hurry. She was a little anxious for a while.

In the study, Zheng Qingluan was restless. Zheng Lao Er and Wang Xinghua didn't let Zheng Qingluan wait too long, and after the mutton soup in the pot boiled, the two came in dressed up. The clothes on their bodies should be Xiao Wu's share.

"Second uncle, brother-in-law, sit on the kang, fill your stomach first, and then let's talk. Zheng Qingluan asked the people who were waiting to retreat, and only his family was left in the house, and he was also at ease.

Zheng Lao Er was not polite, sat down and took the baked cakes and started eating, "I'm really hungry." ”

Zheng Qingluan took two bowls of mutton soup and handed it over, "For clear soup, drink a bowl first to warm your stomach." ”

Wang Xinghua took it, poured a bowl, and then started to eat, "I finally came back to life and really arrived at the place, so I felt that it was not easy for my little sister." ”

Zheng Qingluan was busy adding soup and shabu-shabu to them, "It was a little difficult to adapt at first, but now I'm used to it." ”

Zheng Lao Er soaked the baked cakes in mutton soup, and only after eating two did he slow down, "Something happened at home, so I can only run in person." ”

"If you and your brother-in-law can come, it proves that everyone in the family is okay. As long as it's not someone who has an accident, everything else doesn't matter," Zheng Qingluan comforted. Just now, Baiyi reported in a whisper, and the medicine pestle diagnosis pulse said that the second uncle was in a strong fire, which showed that he was really anxious.

Wang Xinghua said in his heart, he controlled 100,000 soldiers and horses, and there was really nothing that could really stump her.

Zheng Lao Er put down his chopsticks, whispered the matter, and finally said, "Who would have thought that the old man could make such a foolish thing and come to the family, and the clan would deal with it properly." But if those words were not handled properly, I was afraid that it would really cause big trouble, so I didn't dare to delay, and I came to you in person with Ping'an and told you in person. You discuss with Hou Ye and see how this matter should be handled?"

Zheng Qingluan listened, her face was still smiling, as if it was not important, she put the good mutton in Zheng Laoer's bowl, "Although there is some trouble, but there is no big incident, you can rest assured." ”

"Don't coax me, your second uncle is not stupid. Zheng Lao Er glared at Zheng Qingluan, "I know you're afraid that I'm in a hurry, but if I don't know the specific situation, wouldn't I be more anxious to get angry?"

Zheng Qingluan saw that their stomachs were five points full, so he poured two glasses of wine and handed them over, "It's really okay on the emperor's bookcase, when did you not participate in the Xiao family's folding? But what is that? What's more, I have already taken back the Xiao family's military talisman, such a big matter, I don't know how many people want to jump out and make up charges for Xiao Yunfeng and me." In this case, then why not be ruthless, take the opportunity to expose this matter to those who are in a hurry to jump out, the more people the better, and the more serious the crime, the better. When the folds in the emperor's hand are all about this matter, this matter will be over. ”

"It's still a big fuss," Zheng Lao Er asked uncertainly.

"Since you can't press it down, it will inevitably leave hidden dangers, so what's the point of making trouble?" Zheng Qingluan smiled indifferently.

"It is rumored that this thing, the more sneaky it is, the more it looks like it, the more it is above board, but the more no one believes it," Wang Xinghua nodded approvingly.

"That's right," Zheng Qingluan nodded, "If the royal secret guard catches the wind and catches the shadows, then the emperor has to believe five points." If it was a Manchu official who participated, it would be an attack, and it was a dissatisfaction with what Xiao Yunfeng had done in the south. Don't forget, all the military power collected by Xiao Yunfeng was handed over to the emperor. Are they attacking the Xiao family? It's not that the emperor will only feel that it is dissatisfaction with him as the emperor. At that time, no matter what the fold says, he will not believe a word. ”

That's true. Zheng Lao Er felt that it made sense and put his mind at ease for the time being. He didn't understand the twists and turns in the court. But looking at her niece's determined appearance, I think she does have a way. As for how to operate, he didn't ask. I let go of my thoughts, and only then did I feel that the food in my mouth was sweet.

Wang Xinghua was eating, but his heart couldn't help but churn, what does it mean that he has taken back the talisman? Does this mean that Xiao Jiajun is really held in the hands of this little girl? No wonder her tone is so calm, with these people and horses, there is really nothing to fear.

The words of the biography have arrived, and Wang Xinghua changed the topic, "Thirty-five fathers-in-law have been raised. ”

"Really?" Although Zheng Qingluan already had a score in his heart, he still felt pleasantly surprised, "My father has not been easy all these years"

"If you had let your father go to school a few years earlier, it wouldn't have wasted so many years. Zheng Lao Er couldn't help but complain, "The old man and the old lady have done evil."

"Accumulate a lot. Zheng Qingluan said with a smile, "Without the tempering of life over the years, it would be difficult to have such smooth sailing now." ”

"This time the results are good, and I want to be able to title the gold list in the spring of next year. Wang Xinghua thought of his father-in-law's achievements and had a positive and optimistic attitude towards Chunqiu.

"Eighty percent of the can" Zheng Qingluan said with a smile, "If you can't win, how can you leave people in Beijing as hostages?"

Zheng Laoer's face changed, "Really?"

"It's not very accurate, it's eight. Zheng Qingluan wanted to ask them to prepare early, but it was not easy to reveal the exchange of conditions with the emperor, but being a hostage was also one of the factors. Now that the border city is stable, presumably the emperor's mood of leaving the Zheng family in the capital is even more urgent.

"Then I'll also go to Beijing," Wang Xinghua said hurriedly, "In this case, it's always good to have one more person to take care of you." I'm alone, I don't care, it doesn't matter where I go. ”

originally planned to let Wang Xinghua enter Beijing, but knowing that something was wrong, he could still take the initiative to ask to follow, Zheng Qingluan was also very ironing in his heart, "After entering Beijing, you should be able to upgrade to a small level." But don't worry, if you don't know for sure, I don't dare to put my family in the land of tigers and wolves. ”

"Blessings and misfortunes depend on them, and misfortunes and blessings lurk. Zheng Lao Er took a sip of wine and sighed, "It doesn't look good now, maybe this is the opportunity for us to start." ”

Zheng Qingluan nodded secretly, isn't that the truth.

When the two of them were full, Zheng Qingluan arranged for them to rest, and advised, "It's all a wall of fire, a fire kang, and it's not cold at all." Just rest in peace. If you want anything, you can tell me to go down, I am in charge of this handsome mansion now, don't be wronged. ”

Zheng Qingluan estimated that the two of them could sleep until tomorrow, so she explained to the people who were waiting, and went back to the inner courtyard. Let Baier go and call Xiao Er and Xiao Wu.

These two knew that the Zheng family was coming, and there must be something, so they put other things aside for the time being and waited.

Zheng Qingluan briefly said the matter before saying, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I just didn't want to get involved in this trouble." I didn't expect to be stupid like this, the methods of the women in the back house, and they are very rough methods, can also bluff him and cause such a disaster, it is really an unspeakable nest. ”

"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read," Xiao Er smiled and comforted, "Master, can you think about what to do?" If you can call them, you must have an idea.

"I'm afraid I'll have to let the forces in the court move this time," Zheng Qingluan whispered to explain the matter.

Xiao Er smiled clearly, "This happens to be my own ginseng, and our people are afraid that they can hide it even deeper after this incident." No one would ever think of us. ”

"That's exactly what it means," Zheng Qingluan sighed, "the stronger the strength of the army, the easier it is for other parties to take the lead." Only by hiding your own house deep can you be safer. ”
