Lu Shu's jade hands were clenched tightly, her nails were about to pierce into the flesh, and when she saw Cui Yuan about to step out of the room, she suddenly shouted loudly: "Lie, you promised not to threaten me with Zheng Gongzi again." ”

After being forcibly brought back to Boling, Lu Shu went on a hunger strike to engage in confrontation, and finally agreed to eat and receive education on the condition that Cui Yuan could not deal with Zheng Peng, nor could he threaten Lu Shu with Zheng Peng.

Seeing Cui Yuan's reversal, Lu Shu couldn't hold back anymore and asked loudly.

Cui Yuan said disapprenously: "Shu'er, you also promised the eldest father that you would listen to the eldest father, now what?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Shu lowered her head, pulled the corners of her skirt with both hands, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Don't embarrass Zheng Gongzi anymore, Shu'er has answered, is this okay?" ”

When the last word was spoken, Lu Shu's words were already choked, and tears kept sliding down like beads following the thread.

The tears fell to the ground, and the tears splashed everywhere, like Lu Shu's broken heart.

"The man should get married, the woman should be married, and the eldest father is also good for you" Cui Yuan's voice became kind, and he personally picked up the portrait of Lu Shu thrown on the ground, and gently put it back on the table: "Shu'er, these are all young talents who are in line with your age and have an innocent family background, which one do you see?" ”

Born in a big family, many women's marriages are based on the interests of the family, Cui Yuan has the lesson of his son, and no longer intends to exchange his only granddaughter for the interests of the family, so he selected a group of young talents for Lu Shu.

As the leader of the bad guys, it's easy to investigate and gather relevant information.

Lu Shu didn't look at it, and said expressionlessly: "Everything is up to the eldest father." ”

Mourning is more important than heart death, for Lu Shu, except for Zheng Peng, everyone else is the same.

I don't like it all the same.

These words were obviously emotional, and Cui Yuan didn't care about it, so he took out a portrait that he had been optimistic about for a long time and put it on the table: "This is good, I was born in a famous family and read poetry and books, my appearance and conduct are good, Shu'er has time to take a look." ”

Lu Shu didn't speak, didn't look at the future husband Cui Yuan chose for her, and didn't go back to the room.

"Why don't you go to serve Miss? If there is anything wrong with the young lady, Weier and the others will ask. Cui Yuan's face changed and he said coldly.

A group of subordinates said yes again and again, Wanrong just wanted to leave, saw Cui Yuan staring at herself, and immediately took the portrait with interest, looking for a chance to show Lu Shu, and asked her opinion, in a hurry, Wanrong saw that the portrait was a handsome young man, looking personable from the portrait, and a few words were written below: Taiyuan Wang Jun.

......

When Lu Shu was secretly weeping in the tent, Zheng Peng, who was thousands of miles away, was looking at a sumptuous banquet and was a little overwhelmed.

Yao Chong was very efficient, he was the head of the hundred officials, and he was capable, and it didn't take long for him to personally rescue Zheng Peng from Zuo Xiaowei's cell, and then sent Zheng Peng directly to the most prosperous Yueyue Building in Chang'an to bathe and change clothes, and then invited Zheng Peng here to eat and drink.

The dishes are very rich, such as ginseng, bear's paw, hump, roast lamb, venison, cinnamon and other precious ingredients, and surprisingly, all the dishes are served in gold or jade, which is the highest standard of the banquet.

According to the record of "Quantang Zhi Meal": "The banquet is divided into three levels, the lower is the 'rhyme banquet', the vegetables are fresh and the meat is fat, and the soup is smooth; the middle is the 'poetry banquet', the wing soup is juicy, and the jade plate is served; the upper is the 'literary banquet', the gold and green are gathered, and the deer is fresh with meat."

Yao Yi had an accident, and the funny thing is that the person in charge of handling this matter is his son Yao Chong, and the Yao family entertained Zheng Peng with the highest standard, which is understandable, to Zheng Peng's surprise, the person who came forward to the banquet was not Yao Chong, but Yao Chong's wife and Yao Yi's mother, Yao Wang.

Although Yao Wang's is old, she is well maintained, she looks a little like a, her every move, smile is like a textbook elegance and moving, and she is a young lady carefully cultivated by a wealthy family.

"Zheng Jianjun, the second sister of the old body is married to Zheng Weide, the second room of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and when it comes to seniority, she is still Zheng Jianjun's cousin, you won't mind calling Zheng Jianjun a virtuous nephew, right?" Yao Wang said with a smile.

"It's an honor for the younger generation to be able to get close to my wife, and I'm afraid of climbing high." Zheng Peng hurriedly said.

Blood and in-law are the only magic weapons for ancient people to maintain relationships, and it is very normal for the seven clans and five surnames to intermarry, and the benefit of this is that it is easy to get involved, although many are relatives who have abducted eight men.

Zheng Peng really didn't understand what the generations were, what Yao Wang said, just follow her.

"Still called the old lady?"

Zheng Peng stubbornly said: "The younger generation has seen my cousin. ”

"Okay, good" Yao Wang smiled slightly, pointed to the food on the table and said, "This banquet is for the virtuous nephew to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and move the chopsticks." ”

"This, this..."

"What, this dish is not appetizing? The old body makes people change another batch. ”

"No, no, it's good, it's just too rich." Zheng Peng muttered.

"Is this a refusal? The old face of the old body is not enough for the virtuous nephew to appreciate the face? ”

"Don't dare, my cousin is serious, it's an honor for the younger generation to be able to sit at the same table with my cousin."

saw through Yao Wang's intentions, but she just didn't open her mouth, ate people with a soft mouth, and took people short, and didn't talk about it, Zheng Peng really couldn't eat it.

Yao Wang picked up the chopsticks, tasted a piece of hump meat, and then nodded and said: "It's all my own family, what are you polite, it doesn't taste good when it's cold, this is a banquet for the elders to wash the dust for the younger generations, let's eat first." ”

Zheng Peng said with some hesitation: "That, Aunt Cousin, Ling Lang's matter ....."

"I don't say anything, this time it's just a reminiscence, and the old body doesn't understand the affairs of officialdom" Speaking of this, Yao Wang's family personally helped Zheng Peng with a piece of hump meat: "Virtuous nephew, try this, the taste is quite authentic." ”

"Thank you, Aunt Cousin." Zheng Peng said with a wry smile.

On the huge second floor, there is only Zheng Peng's table, obviously Yao Wang's second floor is covered, maybe the Yueyue Building is the Yao family's industry, the large table that can sit eighteen people is full of delicious food, and there are only two people who can taste it: one is Yao Wang's, and the other is Zheng Peng.

The environment is very beautiful and the dishes are very rich, but this is the strangest meal Zheng Peng has eaten.

Zheng Peng took the initiative to put the topic on Yao Yi several times, but every time Yao Wang gently pushed it away, which made Zheng Peng even more strange.

To be honest, Zheng Peng looks down on Yao Yi very much, but he respects Yao Chong in his heart who created the prosperous era of Kaiyuan.

The key depends on the attitude and sincerity of the Yao family.

Although Yao Wang is just a woman, she is very talkative, and she asked Zheng Peng about it cordially, and she also told Zheng Peng's "scenery history" like a few family treasures, which made Zheng Peng feel flattered.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes, the banquet was about to end, but Yao Wang still didn't speak.

"Aunt cousin, this wine has been drunk, and the dishes have been used, as the so-called merit is not punished, I don't know what to tell the younger generation?" Zheng Peng took the initiative to speak.

"When" "When" "When"......

At this time, there was a sudden sound of gongs beating outside, as if someone was shouting something.

Yao Wang suddenly stood up, waved his hand to Zheng Peng and said, "It seems to be very lively outside, virtuous nephew, you can help the old man and take a look." ”

Zheng Peng paused for a moment, quickly came back to his senses, and helped Yao Wang to the corridor outside, ready to watch the excitement.

When he went out of the corridor and looked down, Zheng Peng was stunned for a moment, his eyes were wide open, and he looked down with an incredible expression: I saw Yao Yi lying on a stretcher, his two feet bent to both sides at a very strange angle, obviously broken, Yao Yi, who was hiding on it, was as white as paper, humming constantly, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

As embarrassed as you want, you can be as embarrassed as you want.

A servant struck a gong, and another servant shouted: "Yao Xiang's son, Yao Yi, drank and misbehaved, and beat the wounded soldiers for no reason, this group is indignant, Yao Xiang personally broke his legs as a warning, and then sent him to the criminal department for trial." ”

"When" "When" "When"

"Yao Xiang's son Yao Yi, drank and misbehaved, beat the wounded soldiers for no reason, this group was indignant, Yao Xiang personally broke his legs as a warning, and then sent to the Criminal Department for trial."

The people of Yao Mansion, carrying Yao Yi, who had broken his feet, shouted while parading the streets, and the momentum was very huge.

Zheng Peng heard that from time to time there were words such as "Yao Yi deserves it", "Yao Xiang is really fair and strict", and some people said that Yao was too strict with his son.

It seems that in the blink of an eye, the whole city condemned the Yao family and turned into the whole people admiring the Yao family.

This trick is amazing, Zheng Peng secretly admired in his heart: Yao Chong is Yao Chong, it turned out that a hand of cards that couldn't be worse anymore just let him live.

took the initiative to say that it was his son, and he seemed frank; Breaking Yao Yi's feet, not only gave those wounded soldiers an explanation, but also saw Youyou's mouth, I believe that Li Longji saw it, and it was not easy to say anything, especially the sentence "drinking and making mistakes", which also gave people a feeling that this was an accident and not intentional, and successfully won the people's cool understanding, and even sympathy.

Beating meritorious wounded soldiers, designing to steal Zheng Peng's holy decree, and arresting Zheng Peng, who had the emperor's order, to be tortured in prison, each of them was a capital crime, Yao Chong did not stop doing it, and broke Yao Yi's leg in advance, so that others were not embarrassed to attack Yao Yi again.

If the foot is broken, it can be picked up and cured, but the person's life is gone, and no matter how much he does, it will not help.

Yao Chong's move can not only save his reputation, but also block Youyou's mouth in disguise, seeing that he is selfless, but in fact, his little abacus is crackling.

Zheng Peng saw from the corner of his eyes that the moment he saw his son's broken leg, Yao Wang's eyes were red, and he grabbed the railing with both hands, as if he wanted to jump off the horse to protect his son, but she was just a momentary gaffe, and soon returned to normal.

"Aunt Cousin, can't you discuss something well, this, why bother?" Zheng Peng said with some "embarrassment".

Seriously, seeing Yao Yi's legs broken, Zheng Peng was secretly happy in his heart, and he almost didn't cheer, but Yao Wang's family was here, so he could only forcibly hold back.

That's called retribution.

Yao Wang turned his head and glanced at Zheng Peng meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Can you discuss it well?" ”
