"It's a good place to go inside, Aunt Taishou doesn't pick and choose, there are all kinds of people, and as long as you have the ability, things are not so tiring, but there is still a lot of free time." At dinner, Zheng sat at the table, didn't care about eating, and said to Tian Niangzi excitedly.

"Eat." Tian Niangzi didn't show any emotion, just put vegetables in her son's bowl and didn't reply to his words.

"I've heard that if you have read a book, if you still want to read, you can even borrow the Taishou's library to use it, even if it is just a collection of books that does not lose the house, it is much more than ordinary people." Zheng Peng still gushed.

"Where to read is not to read, and my mother has not lost more than the money you paid to buy books." Tian Niangzi's face also lost the appearance of the past, obviously unhappy.

Zheng Peng knew that he couldn't say it clearly, so he had to persuade again: "So I think it's more appropriate, if there is less of these pen and ink expenses, my mother can also do less work." ”

Tian Niangzi first ate a few bites of food in a muffled voice, and then said: "Our mother and daughter are living very well by themselves, and we don't rely on outsiders." ”

"This is really on my own, the wages I earn myself, and I feel at ease when I eat." Zheng Peng fought again.

"You're not eating well now? Is there one less meal for you or one less shirt for you? My mother worked hard to pull you to grow up, so that you can take the right path. Tian Niangzi was emotional for a while, and said more hurriedly, and then softened again, "You can study with peace of mind, don't think about these sideways, my son is so smart, sooner or later he can get ahead." ”

Although Tian Niangzi suppressed her emotions, Zheng Peng finally couldn't hold it back: "How is this not the right way?" Only the door to enter his Zheng family is the right way? ”

"You are the Zheng family." Tian Niangzi repeated this sentence that she had said thousands of times, but she still didn't get angry. I didn't even eat anymore, and sat back in the room, not knowing whether to cry or sigh.

Zheng Peng's temper also came up, and he didn't persuade him, he quickly ate the meal, and asked, "Mother, let's eat", Tian Niangzi came out by herself, didn't eat, and only cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. Zheng Peng wanted to help, but she said "go to study", so she had to go back to the room.

The uninvited arrival of those nobles yesterday not only made Zheng swing his mind, but Tian Niangzi also saw some hope from it.

Since leaving the Zheng family eighteen years ago, Zheng Jiao has only come to look for him twice, most of the time she hides in the corner by herself to see him quietly, but in recent years, she has not even dared to go. Even the firm hope of "returning to Zheng's house", which she often thought of, gradually doubted herself.

But yesterday, Zheng Jiao came to the door by herself, and she finally waited for a little hope.

Although Zheng Peng didn't know much about the past, he naturally thought that his mother was right, but Tian Niangzi felt that although Zheng Jiao did something wrong that day, he did have a heart in his heart and did make an act of seduction.

Of course, I knew in my heart that this was wrong, but that little hope of entering the house and a whim overshadowed all other thoughts.

Even though she sincerely admired Zheng Jiao, because of such a mind at that moment, she was entangled with herself for many years.

At that time, she was just a maid serving in Zheng Jiao's study, and if this happened at an ordinary time, maybe she would really be included in the room.

But Zheng Jiao was not married at that time, and he had just negotiated with a big family over there in Dingyi, and his wife did not pass the door, so he first brought a concubine born as a slave, and this concubine was pregnant, and it was originally Zheng Jiao Gao Pan, so I am afraid that this family will not be able to say it.

The sixth room of his Zheng family also pointed to this in-law to re-establish himself in the clan.

After that, Zheng Jiao's biological mother drove Tian Niangzi out, but Zheng Jiao felt guilty in the end, so she personally arranged such a yard for her, and told the house to give some sewing and cutting for a living. This barely kept the mother and son from sleeping on the streets.

But since then, except for Zheng Jiao's appearance when Zheng Peng was born, seeing that she was working hard and seeing that she was a son, he softened his heart on the spot, saying that he would go back to the house to discuss letting her mother and son go back to Zheng's house to live, and let her son's surname Zheng also give her a name.

However, at that time, Zheng Jiao swore an oath, but Zheng Jiao has not appeared for eighteen years since he returned that day.

Tian Niangzi has understood countless difficulties in her heart, but that day, the sentence "You are the Zheng family" became her long-term knot and only hope.

But when Zheng Jiao could speak, Zheng Jiao didn't see him, Tian Niangzi felt that the child was still young, maybe he was sensible and likable, and Zheng Jiao would always see him.

But when Zheng Peng tied his hair, Zheng Jiao still didn't see it, and Tian Niangzi felt that if she was older, Zheng Jiao would always see her.

Therefore, she has also lived cautiously over the years, for fear that doing something wrong will completely destroy this hope.

And in the past two or three years, there have always been some clothes worn by the main family members who are not so shabby among the clothes sent by Zheng Zhai, obviously taking care of her. Such an arrangement is not who else Zheng Jiao can have.

Tian Niangzi thought about the past in her heart, but gradually became happy. After washing the dishes and chopsticks, he even wanted to take advantage of the low price at night to go to the street to buy some seasonal melons and fruits for Zheng to eat.

So he simply cleaned up, and said to Zheng Peng through the door, "Mother goes out, you study hard at home", and then went out.

As soon as the door opened, it was just in time to meet Zheng Tong, who came to find her with two or three family members.

Tian Niangzi was startled, hurriedly retreated two steps and saluted, and shouted "Master" timidly.

Zheng Tong smiled kindly: "I didn't know that there was such a place at home in the past, so I will treat you slowly." ”

Tian Niangzi was flattered and hurriedly replied: "The master is busy, we are rough people, where can we make the master worry." ”

After speaking, he let Zheng Tong and the others in, and went back to clean up the tables and stools, but even if he wiped it quickly, he always felt that it was not clean, and poured a bowl of water for Zheng Tong, but he remembered that he should use tea to entertain nobles, but where is there tea at home, and in the end he could only apologize awkwardly.

Zheng Tong didn't pay attention to these, said "don't be busy", and sat down generously, the water naturally didn't drink, and only said that he wanted to talk to Tian Niangzi.

"Although it is still far from the ambush, but this year is hotter than in previous years, and the house has increased the use of the people living in the outer courtyard.

Zheng Tong said, motioning to the family to put down the things in his hand, which were nothing more than some scattered silver taels, grain, flesh, melons and fruits, and a horse of arrowroot.

Tian Niangzi didn't know how to deal with it, so she had to accept it with a thousand thanks. At this time, Zheng Peng also heard the voice and walked out of the room. Zheng Tong Haosheng looked at him, and Tian Niangzi hurriedly asked: "The master came to the slave and maid, I don't know what he ordered." ”

Zheng Tong retracted his gaze at this time, still smiled, and said, "There happens to be something I want to discuss with you." ”
