Worried that the tears that he couldn't stop would wet the letterhead in his hand, Wu Zheng could only temporarily put the letterhead in his hand carefully into the small snakeskin bag hanging on his chest. As for the jade bracelet and longevity lock, it is difficult to put in it, so it can only be left in a small wooden box.

Sitting on the chair, crying for a long time, and calming down a little, Wu Zheng got up and pushed open the door, and found that Ning Zezhong and Ning Yunchong, father and son, had been standing in the courtyard for some time.

couldn't help but say, Wu Zheng stepped forward and knelt on the ground, kowtowing and tearfully saying:

"Grandpa, uncle is above, please bow to Zheng'er. ”

In the letter left by her mother, she already knew that the reason why she wanted to flee from Ningfu and flee the capital was not because her grandparents and two uncles did not take care of her, but because she was worried that it would affect her family, so she had to choose to leave quietly.

He only told in detail in a letter he left before leaving, but he didn't say a word about his whereabouts. So before her mother Ning Yunyan left, her grandfather's family didn't know what happened to her.

"Zheng'er, hurry up, hurry up. ”

It was still the eldest uncle Ning Yunchong who pulled Wu Zheng up, and seeing that his grandfather and uncle also had tears in their eyes, Wu Zheng hurriedly wiped the tears from his eyes, not wanting to arouse their longing for his mother because of himself.

"Zheng'er, it's not early, your grandmother and they are still waiting for you in the room. ”

Needless to say, for tonight's confession, the people of Hefu had already expected it.

Hearing this, Wu Zheng hurriedly followed his grandfather and uncle, walked out of the small cross-courtyard and returned to the backyard, and walked into a brightly lit room in the middle.

Seeing the white-haired old lady sitting on the chair in the middle, and a pair of middle-aged women standing on both sides, Wu Zheng fell down again and bowed.

"Grandma, two aunts ....... ”

Speaking of which. Wu Zheng was so choked up that he couldn't speak.

"Get up, quick, help Zheng'er up. ”

The old lady couldn't cry silently, but Ning Yunchong, who followed up, helped Wu Zheng up.

Seeing that his grandmother and two aunts were already crying together, Wu Zheng had to reluctantly stop his grief and stepped forward to comfort his elderly grandmother.

"Grandma. It's all bad, and you shouldn't delay coming to recognize your relatives because of a misunderstanding. ”

"It's no wonder to you, if you want to blame it, you can only blame the Xiao family, the dignified martial arts alliance leader can't even protect his daughter-in-law. ”

Hearing Wu Zheng's words of self-reproach, the old lady said with sadness and indignation while wiping the tears on her face with the brocade handkerchief in her hand.

"What a happy event it is for my grandson to come to the door today, don't mention those old sesame seeds and rotten grains. Command him to go down, and set up a night feast. ”

"Father, it's been ready for a long time. ”

said. Wu Zheng's two aunts raised their feet together and were about to go out.

"It's in my room. ”

"Yes, Mother. ”

Hearing this, the two aunts stopped, turned around and bowed slightly, before turning around and going out again to greet the next person.

Faced with a table full of sumptuous wine and food, where did everyone have any appetite. But talk about Ning Yunyan's childhood, and ask Wu Zheng about his experience over the years.

Although the Ning family had already inquired about Wu Zheng's experience, her grandmother still took the trouble to ask again and again. It seems that if you don't listen to Wu Zheng himself, your heart will not be steady.

During this period, Wu Zheng also briefly said a few words about the content of the letter left by his mother. just avoided the important and trivialized, and did not say most of the disputes about Ning Yunyan falling into the mysterious Si Nanche, let alone why he fled from the Xiao family.

When the old things are brought up again, talking about how Wu Zheng showed off his talent in the reading examination as a scholar, and entered the Beijing Palace to take the third place in the first class of high school, and was named the six-grade academic politics of Linshan Mansion by the emperor himself. Including when he got along with his second uncle Ning Yunju and returned to Wujiabao to worship his ancestors, everyone's mood gradually improved.

Especially when it came to Tie Ning's impersonation in the autumn of Linshan Mansion to earn back a piece of fame for Wu Zheng, everyone felt both novel and surprised.

"I learned from your second uncle's letter that Zheng'er has been married to the Iron Sword Girl. Or is it your second uncle's matchmaker, but really?"

The old lady still likes to listen to Wu Zheng say it in person to be relieved.

"Yes, Grandma. ”

"Is the wedding date set?"

Seeing Wu Zheng shaking his head, the old lady immediately turned her face to look at her eldest son, Ning Yunchong, and ordered:

"Go back and immediately send a letter to your second brother, and ask him to go to the Tiefu in person to negotiate the marriage date between Zheng'er and the girl of the Tie family. If possible, send someone to send the daughter of the Tie family to the capital and live in the house for a while. ”

Ning Yunchong hurriedly nodded and agreed. However, he saw the opportunity to give his daughter-in-law and younger siblings a look.

"Mother, it is natural to let Yunju come to the door to discuss the marriage date of his nephew. If you say that you invite the girl of the Tie family to the capital, I am afraid that it is not in accordance with the etiquette law. ”

The old lady was obviously overjoyed just now, so she was negligent. After hearing the words of the second daughter-in-law, he smiled self-deprecatingly and said:

"Again, I'm confused. How can a big girl who is not out of line go to the man's relative's house. That's it, then urge Yunju to set the wedding date as soon as possible, and it is best to hold the wedding before the year. The wedding room is located in the house, and there are many vacant houses anyway. Isn't that west courtyard completely empty? Tomorrow we will send someone to clean it up. ”

When the two aunts heard this, they couldn't help but smile and persuaded in a half-joking tone:

"Mother, where can I let Miss Tie Jia live in the old house? The Tie family is the head of the four famous martial arts families. It should be cleaned up in the west across the courtyard, and it is convenient to wait for the nephew to come back and live after he gets married. ”

"Yes, Mother. It's better to buy a house for my nephew again. It's better to start building a new house, and then wouldn't it be extra grandiose?"

When it comes to this topic, Wu Zheng, as well as his grandfather Ning Zezhong and uncle Ning Yunchong, can only be listeners.

However, if Wu Zheng was very eager to marry Tie Ning as soon as possible before entering Beijing, but after facing the saint in the imperial study at night, he couldn't help but delay the wedding as much as possible. After all, his new identity is very easy to bring trouble to Tie Ning. That's something Wu Zheng never wants to see.

"Okay, Zheng'er's marriage is naturally as soon as possible, but I'm afraid this matter is not something that our Ning family can say. ”

Grandfather Ning Zezhong's sudden words made the family stunned.

"Why didn't the Ning family say it? Could it be that the Xiao family still has the face to come up?"

"It is inevitable that the Xiao family will come to the door, and if they think about it, they may send someone to come recently. ”

"Is there any news that my lord is hiding from us?"

Facing his wife's questioning, Ning Zezhong bowed his head slightly.

"Yes, according to reliable sources, Xiao Ying is about to enter Beijing in the near future. ”

"Whether he comes here or not is with Zheng'er, what does it have to do with the Ning family?!"

Obviously, grandma has always been resentful of the Xiao family.

"That's not the case, it doesn't seem to be the fault of the Xiao family for what happened back then. ”

As he spoke, his grandfather Ning Zezhong raised his eyes and looked at Wu Zheng, as if he wanted Wu Zheng to say something.

"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, I don't want to recognize the Xiao family for the time being. (To be continued.) )
