Tian Niangzi Zheng Peng's mother and son often quarrel because of their attitude towards the Zheng family, but the mother and son both know what the other party cares about the most. Tian Niangzi never took the initiative to mention Zheng Peng's life experience in front of outsiders, and the biggest thought in her heart was that she would be able to return to the Zheng family's house one day.

Although Zheng Peng lost his temper, he was taking care of his mother in the end, and when he saw that someone seemed to be coming, he didn't say anything.

"Tian Niangzi is at home?" Before the people outside reached the gate of the courtyard, they shouted from afar.

"Yes, yes." Tian Niangzi's voice came from inside the house, and then she lowered her voice and said to Zheng Peng, "Peng'er, you go and open the door for the guests first." ”

Zheng Peng probably also knew that in the past, he didn't even come here easily, but at this time, it was not a New Year's Day, and he had just come to check a round because of the military accident of the Liangzhou Army not long ago. At this time, they were all the servants of the Zheng family, so naturally they didn't prepare any good faces, but because of their mother's face, they tried to just keep a cold face.

But I didn't expect that as soon as the courtyard door opened, there were five or six old men with some middle-aged people outside. Not to mention the slaves and maids who followed, his mother's mouth, his biological father Zheng Jiao, and his grandfather were also among them.

Although Zheng Jiao never came to see his mother and son, after he learned his identity when he was a child, he quietly went to see Zheng Jiao, and then as he became more and more disagreeing with his life experience, he stopped seeing him. His grandfather had only seen him once.

It's just that these high-spirited big people on weekdays also avoided conspicuous positions at this time, and greeted the old and the young in the middle.

The old one is naturally Zheng Tong, the head of the Zheng family, and the younger one is a little lady who looks two or three years younger than herself.

Zheng Wei didn't know how to deal with it, and ignored his father and grandfather, and only saluted the two people in front of him.

At this time, Tian Niangzi also came out, her clothes were obviously cleaned up, her face was simply smeared with gouache, and even a silk flower was put on her head. Whenever a guest comes to her house, so will she be.

Zheng Peng originally thought that her mother was trying to be decent in front of others, but later when she got older, she gradually understood that she still had some small hopes in her heart.

Tian Niangzi was stunned when she saw many decent nobles standing outside the courtyard of her home, but then she saw Zheng Jiao in the crowd, and then even saw the sixth master of the Zheng family and Zheng Tong.

Her face changed and changed, and her heart was also chaotic, a burst of panic and joy, she couldn't say what it was like, so she had to force herself not to see Zheng Jiao, and came up to salute first.

However, Zheng Jiao's face was quite embarrassed, and he didn't look at her, but Zheng Tong spoke first: "This is a small courtyard where people live, and there is no population. ”

When Zheng Peng heard this tone, he was quite indignant in his heart, but he had a seizure on the spot because of his mother's bad face.

Zheng Tong naturally didn't say this to his mother and son, but he heard the little lady ask, "Are you two in this courtyard?" ”

Zheng Peng saw that she didn't even pay attention to Zheng Tong, and actually spoke directly to herself, so she replied without humility or arrogance: "This courtyard is where my mother and I live. ”

Although he is neither humble nor arrogant, in Zheng Jiao's opinion, if he is not humble in front of nobles, he is arrogant, and his face is even more unhappy.

The little lady nodded and said, "I look at you, you don't look like a descendant of the Zheng family." ”

Zheng Peng didn't know what her identity was, but what he said was quite satisfactory to him, and he had to answer. Zheng Tong stopped first: "Sixth, this is your family?" ”

The sixth-room master of the Zheng family, who was standing on the side, hurriedly responded, and pushed his son out to speak.

When the elders in the family asked, Zheng Jiao had to say vaguely: "Uncle, this is from my hospital." ”

"What do you do? Why did you still have a yard? Zheng Tong asked again.

He really didn't know about Zheng Jiao's matter, but he only felt that as Aunt Taishou said, this young man did not look like a domestic servant, and he made arrangements for the maid in the family alone, and the Zheng family rarely did such a thing in the past.

Zheng Jiaozheng hesitated to tell the truth, or wanted to prevaricate for something, but Tian Niangzi spoke first: "Back to the master, we are doing sewing in the house, the sixth master is pitiful, reward us for staying in this courtyard temporarily." ”

With just these few words, Tian Niangzi understood the stakes, and only thought about helping Zheng Jiao out of the siege first, maybe it could also make him think a little bit of affection.

However, when she said this, Zheng Tong was even more puzzled, and after taking a closer look at Tian Niangzi and then at Zheng Peng, he probably felt that he had guessed something. Then he glared at his sixth child fiercely, and he could see the embarrassed look on his face, and he knew that it was probably his son who did it.

However, this matter is not a rare major event, and in front of Aunt Taishou, he can't attack anyway, so he nodded in response to Tian Niangzi's statement.

Naturally, their actions were also seen by Wen Yu, and she pretended that she hadn't seen it, and said to Zheng Peng: "Look at you like this, you have read books." ”

Zheng Peng's face was slightly softened than Fang Cai, and he replied "yes".

He said: "It just so happens that I'm looking for someone to do an errand for me, if you want to, you also feel that you have some ability, you can try it." Master Zheng let me go, and I will go to his house to choose random people, right, Master Zheng? ”

"Naturally, yes." Zheng Tong hurriedly replied, "I've seen all the things in the main house, and there are few who can get into the eyes, and the old man is still a little ashamed, if he can really pick some for Mrs. Liu to send, it won't be considered an old man who doesn't know people." ”

"It's not that there is no one in the main house, but I can't see it." I'm not trying to force people, it depends on whether people are willing or not. ”

Zheng Peng listened to them, and he couldn't tell the stakes for a while, and he had never heard of a Liu lady in the city who could ask Zheng Tong to give three points.

But after thinking about it, there has been a lot of rumors in the city recently, isn't that the aunt who is guarding the Taishou so old.

But he was not easy to ask, and when he saw Wen looking at him, he had to frown to show his puzzlement.

Zhixia, who was following behind Wen, lost no time in opening his mouth to solve his doubts: "What are you hesitating about? I don't have to use you to try it. The eldest lady of my family is the elder of Taishou Liu, if you want to inquire about anything, you will come up to ask. ”

This responded to Zheng Peng's speculation, he didn't know the specific relationship between Aunt Taishou and the Zheng family, but after all, he didn't have to ask for a living in the Zheng family, so he didn't want to respond. But he didn't expect Tian Niangzi to speak first and stop him.

"Thank you for your appreciation, it is indeed a blessing that ordinary people can't find in the eyes of our nobles, but we are from the Zheng family after all, and we want to discuss such a big matter with our family." Tian Niangzi pulled Zheng Peng and replied in a low voice.

After hearing this, there was no strong person, but he turned around and left without leaving a word. Everyone present had their own thoughts, so they did not mention it. In a moment, the courtyard that suddenly became lively suddenly became deserted again.
