Zheng Bingyi couldn't, he was stunned, and his brain was confused.

Chen Ruiyang looked in from outside the door and asked in a low voice, "Dad, did you quarrel with your uncle?" You're not going to accompany me to Beijing? ”

Zheng Bingyi walked over and said perfunctorily, "Of course I'm going to enter Beijing, you wait, Dad think about it again." ”

After saying that, he wandered out of the grange, and his entourage followed behind, no matter how he called, he couldn't call his master, but he couldn't let him walk outside in his middle coat, so he could only pretend to have the courage to pull him into the car, and then put on his coat.

When Zheng Bingyi came back to his senses, he somehow went to the courtyard of the yamen on weekdays.

He looked down and saw that he was a little embarrassed, and turned his head to leave, but by coincidence, a small official poured cold tea out of the window, and actually poured a drop on his head.

Zheng Bingyi was poured cold, and he reached out and plucked two tea leaves from his head and directly blackened his face.

The little official hurriedly ran out of the house to apologize, "I'm sorry, Master Zheng, I didn't see you coming for a while!" Haha, forgive me, forgive me! ”

Zheng Bingyi wanted to scold, but remembering that this person was a small official of Shangguan, he reluctantly endured it.

"It's okay, pay attention next time!" With that, he waved his hand and left.

The little official breathed a sigh of relief and went back to the room.

Where did he think that Zheng Bingyi was blown cold by the wind, so he wanted to go back to the duty room to change into spare clothes, turned around and walked back to the window, and happened to hear the little official talking to the little official who was making tea in the house.

The tea-burning official said in a low voice, "Why are you careless and splash Lord Zheng's head, in case he is annoyed, you are afraid that you will have a bad time in the future!" ”

The tea-pouring official didn't care about the answer, "Oh, what are you afraid of!" I didn't mean to, besides, we adults are his bosses, and he can't wait to kneel and lick our adults' toes every day, how dare he offend me! ”

"That's right," the tea-making official also said with a smile, "No one can afford this kind of person, if you can help him get promoted, you are willing to step on his face all day long." ”

The little official who poured the tea snorted disdainfully, "Is he dreaming, and he still wants to be promoted?" It would be nice to be able to keep the current errand! Our adults are especially disgusted with him, saying that he stopped his wife and remarried, and was ruthless and unjust! And his father-in-law is also dead, and there will be no one to rely on in the future, let alone a calf. ”

"Haha, who knows, maybe in a few months, we won't have to look at his bitter gourd face anymore!"

"That's it, that's it!"

The two of them were talking lively, but they didn't know that Zheng Bingyi outside the window was already mad.

The entourage wanted to go in to theorize, but Zheng Bingyi turned around and left.

The entourage looked at the master's face and wanted to ask if he was going home, but Zheng Bingyi went directly to the commercial street and bought a box of good rouge gouache, a pair of delicate silver hairpins, and two good silk horses, which cost a total of more than 30 taels of silver.

"Send it to Cui's house, to Mrs. Let's just say that I have been busy with official business recently, so let her stay at her parents' house for a few more days. Zheng Bingyi stuffed a few pieces of loose silver to his entourage, and instructed, "I remember that the Cui family is going to Zhuangzi in the countryside recently, secretly ask for the specific date, and come back to tell me!" ”

"Yes, yes, sir!" The entourage hurriedly took his things to Cui's house.

In the backyard of Cui's house, Mrs. Cui took the maid to bring snacks, and as soon as she entered her mother-in-law's yard, she couldn't help but snort coldly when she saw her sister-in-law sitting next to her mother-in-law smiling.

Needless to say, this shabby household has come to fight the autumn breeze again, and I don't know what good things I have to take away from my mother-in-law's treasury this time.

Thinking of her thirteen-year-old daughter, she gritted her teeth with hatred. The old lady is just confused, she doesn't leave some good things for her granddaughter as a dowry, and always subsidizes the girl who got married early!

She smiled and stepped forward to put the dim sum in front of her mother-in-law and said, "Mother, I just baked some dim sum, you can taste it." ”

After that, she turned to her sister-in-law and pretended to joke, "My sister is asking her mother for something good?" It's good for my mother to have you as a girl, and there are no rats in the warehouse! ”

Cui Shi knew that her sister-in-law was sarcastic about her, if she had been a little weak in the past, but this time it was a rare hard waist, and retorted, "Sister-in-law, don't be so shallow, as if I always take my mother's good things, and then I don't know how to honor my mother!" You must know that my father passed away, and my eldest brother is not successful, and now my master is left with a bright future. I'll take some things back, my lord sent Shangguan, and if he is promoted in the future, he will definitely have the benefits of our family. Besides, I'm not a person who has no return, don't underestimate me! ”

Then, she turned her head and motioned for the maid to take something up, and ruthlessly gave her sister-in-law a brightly colored silk.

"This is what my lord just sent me, this silk for my niece to make a new dress, and the other for my mother. As for the rouge gouache and hairpin, our lord specially chose it for me, so I won't give it to my sister-in-law. ”

Mrs. Cui is really surprised, the sister-in-law has always been a Pixiu, only in and out, is it red rain in the sky today, and the sister-in-law has changed sex?

Xu is expression was too exaggerated, Cui Shi coughed dryly twice and said, "Sister-in-law don't want it?" Then I'll take it back? ”

"No, no!" Mrs. Cui hurriedly threw the silk into the maid's arms and said with a smile, "It's rare that your aunt makes a new set of clothes for her niece, and I can't stop me no matter what." I just don't know if my brother-in-law has any happy events, why is he so generous, and he specially sent something over? ”

Cui Shi naturally didn't know, but she had a hard mouth, pretended to touch her sideburns proudly, and responded, "In the past few days, he has been moving around with Shangguan frequently, so he must be about to be promoted, right?" I don't ask much about men outside. I don't have the skills of a sister-in-law, I can't help! ”

When Mrs. Cui heard the word promotion, she didn't care about her sister-in-law's yin and yang, she controlled men strictly, and said with a smile and flattery, "Oh, this is a good thing!" Let's go to Zhuangzi in three days, and invite my brother-in-law to come over for a drink and enjoy the scenery? ”

"Let's talk about it then, he's busy!" Cui Shi raised his chin, opened the box, and showed rouge gouache and hairpins with the old lady.

Mrs. Cui was naturally happy that her daughter was favored, and Mrs. Cui also had a good relationship, and sat next to her and praised her.

The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and the backyard of the Cui family was very lively for a while.

In the front yard, after the Zheng family's entourage finished delivering things, they found a familiar Cui family steward to eat at the tavern. The two always see each other on weekdays, and when they eat and drink, they naturally say everything and are defenseless.

Soon, the entourage came up with the news they wanted to know, and then went back to their lives.

That night, in Zheng Bingyi's study, the candlelight was lit for half the night and was not extinguished.

The entourage didn't dare to sleep, and waited outside, listening to the master's call at any time.

There was a sigh in the room, a thump on the table, and a low roar of grief and indignation. It wasn't until the second half of the night that it was quiet, and at dawn, the door to the study creaked open.

The attendant who was lying on the floor and napping was alert, and when he got up, he saw his master standing in front of him with red eyes, and he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.

"Old ...... Master?! ”
