At that time, Master Zheng also saw the benefits of the Lan family in addition to forbearance, and at the same time, he also clearly realized that the current relationship between the Zheng family and the Wu family was close enough, and what he wanted to do was to go out, for example, the Lan family had a new support, rather than just limiting his eyes to this place.

After that, the Zheng family and the Wu family also sent beauties into the palace, but I don't know if they were suppressed by Concubine Lan Xian, or for other reasons, the grace of these beauties is just mediocre, and their positions are just ordinary, and they are not favored, they are all under the jurisdiction of Concubine Lan Xian, who is already a concubine, in the palace, let alone help the Wu family and the Zheng family suppress the Lan family.

Just when Master Zheng and the Wu family were about to be suppressed by the Lan family all the time and become a second-rate family here, something suddenly reached his ears.

Concubine Lan Xian fell out of favor, not only did she fall out of favor, but it didn't seem to be the kind of trivial matter of being jealous, anyway, Concubine Lan Xian was deprived of her title, and she was directly sent to the cold palace and became a concubine, and the Lan family at that time was overly arrogant, and now there is no one to rely on Concubine Lan Xian, and she was also impeached by many people, and finally after investigation and punishment, the Lan family was finally quarreled, and the rich people of the Lan family were all confiscated.

Later, Master Zheng went to inquire about it, and many people said that Concubine Lan Xian was framed, but what was the use of this? Your Majesty has a new favorite, and she has always been domineering, so she is naturally not used to it.

It's just that the same Master Zheng still has some sighs, a big family like that Zhong Ming Dingshi has become a sinner, at that time, Master Zheng was actually a little deterred, he clearly knew that although he was still a big force here, if he wanted to get rid of him, it was just a matter of people in Beijing moving their fingers.

So Master Zheng had the idea of marrying officials in Beijing, at that time, none of the three sons of their family were married, but the second and third sons had a secret promise with Mrs. Wu's mother's family, and he had a great relationship with the Wu family over the years, so it was naturally not easy to break the promise.

Later, after a series of discussions, it was finally decided that the only daughter of Mrs. Li, who was still a household servant, was the wife of the eldest son of the Zheng family.

Sure enough, after the Li family got married, the Zheng family also had a helper in the court, and the business has expanded greatly over the years, even the expatriates who came as officials should be a little afraid of him, and Li Shilang in Beijing was also promoted to Shangshu, which can be regarded as the chief of a department, and the relationship between the Zheng family and the Li family has been maintained well over the years, but his son has some confusion.

When the grandmother talked about the past affairs of the Zheng family and the couple, her expression was still a little tangled, she didn't know whether she should tell her little master about these things, after all, it was just some things that caught the wind and shadows, and there was no conclusion yet.

Just looking at Zheng Xiuyu's firm gaze, and thinking about the positions of his own family members under the other party, Zheng Xiuyu knew that it was better to take precautions as soon as possible, they had all voted for the eldest son, and naturally it was a relationship of both glory and loss.

And the calculations of Zheng Erye and Zheng Sanye, although they look obedient on the face, but in the bottom of their hearts are they willing or not, and whether there are other calculations, that grandma has served in this mansion for so many years, and she naturally has some opinions.

So silently entangled, the liar still didn't bother anymore, told everything about it, and said to Zhong Xiuyu in a sincere tone with eyebrows everywhere:

"Actually, the specific matter is not very clear, the slave and maid were the sons of the Li family at that time, and they were in the position of a second-class maid in the main courtyard.

Although such an identity can serve in the room, but it is easy to serve the master closely, the slave still listened to the words of several aunts around her who have now left the house, at that time they were discussed by the first-class maids, and also heard the dispute between the master of the house and the lady.

In fact, the relationship between the head of the family and the wife was very good at the beginning, after all, although the head of the family was the eldest son at that time, but because the status of the mother's family was not high, was he pressed by the second master and the third master, and only when the wife married, the second master and the third master were separated.

The uncle inherited the position of the head of the family, and since the head of the family inherited the throne, his temperament is much better than usual, and even the slaves and maids who serve closely can occasionally get some rewards, and Mrs. is even more

Mild.

At that time, there were no concubines among the head of the house and the wife, and the head of the house accompanied the lady to play chess or study every day, and occasionally went to the Zheng family's shop to take a stroll, and these slaves and maids were all in sight.

It's just that the head of the family actually argued with his wife that day, saying that he heard that his wife had a childhood sweetheart when he was in Beijing, and he was the protégé of Mrs. Li, who was still a squire at the time.

Later, the head of the family and the lady lived separately in two courtyards, and then the aunt who had room after room was carried in, and the relationship between the head of the family and the lady was also faint, and if it were not for a major occasion, the two would not even have to say a few words."

Knowing the inside story by chance, Zheng Xiuyu was quite puzzled in his heart, but for this kind of private matter, he naturally couldn't ask the Li family, let alone Zheng's father, who had a rather cold relationship with him, so he could only suppress this doubt in his heart.

It's just that facing Qi Zhenzhen at this time, I don't know how he trusts the other party a little, and he didn't hide his words for a while, so he told the doubts he was thinking about this matter.

For Qi Zhenzhen, Zheng Xiuyu felt that she was very different from the rumors, the Qi Zhenzhen he saw was lively and cheerful, and she liked to laugh very much, and she was a very open-minded little girl, occasionally hearing her words felt a little naïve, but when she heard it carefully, she felt a little thought-provoking charm.

It's just that he suddenly asked such a question, which is still a bit presumptuous, not to mention how can the rumors be completely believed, and it is better to have your own judgment.

But said how Zheng Xiuyu's heart was entangled, Qi Zhenzhen didn't know, the other party in front of her stopped talking after listening to her finish speaking, Qi Zhenzhen didn't know how to take this topic, to be honest, the two were a little shallow and deep, Qi Zhenzhen didn't know how to comfort her, just at this time they arrived outside Concubine Shu's courtyard.

Qi Zhenzhen was a little relieved at this time, she turned her head and called Zheng Xiuyu, who was distracted, and smiled at him:

"Zheng Gongzi, the courtyard of the concubine has arrived, I have already asked the maid to pass it on, you can wait here for a while, if there is nothing to do, I will retire first."

"Well, okay, then thank you Miss Qi first."

Zheng Xiuyu came back to his senses, looked at Qi Zhenzhen, who was gentle and smiling, and hurriedly said thank you, but Qi Zhenzhen waved her hand a little indifferently and said to him:

"Zheng Gongzi is too polite, you have helped me a lot, besides, this is just a gesture, how can it be worth your thanks, then I will leave first."

After that, Qi Zhenzhen turned to leave, and remembered that Zheng Xiuyu was a little distracted, she stopped, turned to him and said:

"Zheng Gongzi, I don't know why you are confused, I just want to tell you, you are a very good person, you don't have to blame yourself for other people's faults, I am grateful for your help to me, so I hope you can be happy."

Zheng Xiuyu saw Qi Zhenzhen's look back, he couldn't help but smile a little with some depressed eyes, nodded at her with a smile and said:

"I know what Miss Qi means, thank you for your advice, and I hope you can be happy."

Seeing Zheng Xiuyu's gentle and jade-like appearance, Qi Zhenzhen couldn't help but feel that she blushed a little, what should I do? I feel that Zheng Gongzi just now looks better, the other party is like a piece of gentle and moist jade, when you get close to him, you feel as if you are surrounded by the slightly drunk warm breeze in spring, and you can't help but rejoice in your heart.

And after Qi Zhenzhen left, it was only a moment of effort, and she heard that Concubine Shu had summoned Zheng Xiuyu.

After Zheng Xiuyu entered the living room, what he saw was Concubine Shu's gentle appearance, he remembered his grandfather's instructions to him, first bowed respectfully, and then said to Concubine Shu: z.br>

"Xiu Yu took the liberty to disturb today, because the Zheng family met someone some time ago, and I heard her say that it seems to be the old person you knew before, the head of the family decided not to do it, and wanted to see if the concubine remembered, or if there were other arrangements."

Speaking of which, for Zheng Xiuyu Jin

On the surprise visit of the day, Concubine Shu was also confused, because her relationship with the Zheng family was really ordinary, and at the same time, she actually had some resistance to the three women sent by the Zheng family.

No matter what the Zheng family says, those people are not from high backgrounds, they are just concubines of the side branches, and it is their blessing to be able to serve King Jing, but for Concubine Shu, the other party is from a big family, why should a woman from a family come to be a concubine? This is really too wronged by them, but it seems that King Jingfu is a little frivolous.

It's just that how to settle it still has to ask King Jing what he means, Concubine Shu doesn't want to make any decisions without authorization, she has lived in the inner house for a long time, but she also knows that the Zheng family has a lot of power here, although they are already living here, but there is King Wu next to him, no matter which side he is, don't easily offend.

But Zheng Xiuyu's identity is not a simple Zheng family, his mother is the daughter of Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li is very good friends with the current Master Qi's family, so Concubine Shu still saw him and wanted to see what the other party had to tell him.

Unexpectedly, the old man Zheng Xiuyu said, Concubine Shu was a little confused, how could she have met anyone here? Concubine Shu was born in Jiangnan and came here for the first time.
