247 Defection?

Cheongha-Choi's?

Relatives?

Zhang Xiaosong was a little surprised for a while, but soon felt a little relieved.

After Wu Zetian ascended the throne, in order to consolidate his rule, he spared no effort to suppress the clan, and the power of the clan gradually declined, but the hundred-legged insects, dead but not stiff, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and those famous families are much better than ordinary people in terms of the concept and heritage of governing the family, and this distance cannot be reversed in the short term, so the influence of the clan is still strong.

The Qinghe Cui clan has a large population and a large number of talents, and there are no exceptions for some people to enter the bad people organization directly under the emperor.

When Zhang Xiaosong was guessing which of the Qinghe Cui clan was reused by the emperor and became one of the bad people, Lin Xun'er, who was far away in Chang'an, also said with a surprised face: "What, the young master's relative?" What relatives? ”

After Zheng Peng and Lord Lando left, the house suddenly became a lot quieter, Lin Xun'er's identity was a little special, it was not easy to swagger through the market, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble, so she stayed at home to play music, sing or something.

I didn't want to cause trouble, but I didn't expect trouble to come to the door.

On the third day after Zheng Peng's departure, Lin Xun'er was embroidering a handkerchief of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and Xiaoxiang came running anxiously, saying that a relative of the young master had come to the door.

Zheng Peng settled in Chang'an, but whether he was promoted or transferred, he didn't have any relatives, Lin Xun'er probably knew what Zheng Peng's situation was, and Lin Xun'er couldn't say anything about this kind of thing, after all, it was Zheng Peng's family matter.

Unexpectedly, there were relatives who took the initiative to come to the door.

Xiao Xiang hurriedly said: "Sister, one of the people who came claimed to be the second uncle of the young master, and the other was the patriarch of the young master, and they said that they were looking for the young master if they had something." ”

When Lin Xun'er heard this, she immediately put down the needle and thread in her hand, and hurriedly said, "It's a relative of the young master, then let's let them into the house quickly." ”

Kiss or not, your own family, and everyone who comes are Zheng Peng's elders, and in the Tang Dynasty, which focuses on filial piety, you can't be rude to your elders, otherwise it will be spread out, which will be very detrimental to Zheng Peng's reputation.

There is another point, the person who came is Zheng Peng's relative, and he is still his own family, Lin Xun'er has no name and no share, if he is negligent, it will be a "crime".

"Sister, slow down." Xiao Xiang pulled Lin Xun'er all of a sudden.

Lin Xun'er asked a little strangely, "Well, Xiaoxiang, what's wrong?" ”

"Sister, before the young master went out, he said let's watch the gate and not let those strangers come in casually, I have never seen the elders of the young master, and Ah Fu and Ah Shou have never seen them, because the young master was kicked out of the house by the clan, and then they didn't interact with each other, and I don't know if they are the young master's relatives, and one thing, I don't know if the young master wants to reconcile with them."

"It's just that the young master has gone out again, and it's difficult to do it now." Lin Xun'er said with some embarrassment.

The main reason is that I don't know what Zheng Peng's attitude towards his family is, Zheng Peng didn't explain these before he left, and it is estimated that he didn't expect that someone in his family would take the initiative to come to the door, and now it is not good to receive it, and it is not good not to receive it.

While the two were discussing, the quarrel at the door became louder and louder, and someone loudly scolded Ah Fu and Ah Shou, who were guarding the door.

Xiaoxiang said a little anxiously: "Sister, what to do now, you can get an idea." ”

Lin Xun'er couldn't make up her mind for a while, mainly because it was the first time she encountered this kind of thing: no one had seen Zheng Peng's own family, and she didn't know what Zheng Peng's mind was.

Suddenly, Lin Xun'er's eyes lit up, and she immediately said: "Yes, Xiaoxiang, you ask Huang San to invite Miss Guo quickly, Miss Guo has known the young master for a long time, and the young master's home is only a county away, she should know her." ”

"Yes, yes, yes" Xiao Xiang suddenly realized: "The young master said, if you encounter difficulties, you can ask Miss Guo for help, and it is most suitable to find her, sister, I will go immediately." ”

At this time, Lin Xun'er is really not suitable to come forward, firstly, there is a difference between men and women, and secondly, the identity is a little embarrassing, and I don't know how to call it well.

Lin Xun'er instructed: "Let Huang San go through the back door." ”

Outside the gate, the clan elder Zheng Jiashu sat on a small pony, which was moved by Ah Fu for him, mainly because he was old, and it was very likely that he was the elder of his own young master, and he didn't dare to slack off, Zheng Yuanye reprimanded him violently.

"Where is your little Langjun?" Zheng Yuanye asked.

Ah Shou said with a smile: "My young master left Beijing to perform official duties. ”

"Really? What a coincidence that we weren't at home as soon as we came? It's not hiding from us, is it? ”

"No, no, the young master really set off three days ago, many people know this, if you don't believe it, you can go to the ministry to inquire, by the way, it's okay to go to Zuojiaofang to inquire."

Zheng Yuanye didn't dare to listen, and deliberately said arrogantly: "He's not here, we're here, it's your young master's second uncle, my second uncle, this is the elder of the clan, get out of the way, he's not here, we'll wait for him at home." ”

"I'm afraid this is not appropriate."

"What's wrong" Zheng Yuanye said violently: "Didn't you say it, I'm his second uncle, and I also showed them at the office, what else?" ”

"The young master didn't explain, besides... The little one hasn't seen the young master's family either, so..."Ah Fu said with some embarrassment.

If it was an ordinary person, he would have been driven away a long time ago, but the person who came claimed to be the second uncle of the young master, and the information recorded from the "pass" was indeed from Yuancheng, Weizhou, the problem is that Ah Fu and Ah Shou have never seen Zheng Yuanye and Zheng Jiashu.

Don't talk about seeing it, even if you haven't heard of it, because Zheng Peng doesn't like to talk about these things, Ah Fu and Ah Shou don't dare to let strangers into the house.

Ah Shou said with some embarrassment: "Do you have any tokens that can prove the identities of the two, such as genealogy or the tokens of my young master?" ”

When Zheng Yuanye heard this, he froze suddenly.

I went out to find Zheng Peng, but I didn't expect Zheng Peng to be sent to other places, how could anyone bring a family tree with him?

As for the token, what is the token?

Looking at Ah Fu and Ah Shou who were low in a voice, Zheng Yuanye's eyes flashed, he raised his hand, "snapped", slapped Ah Fu in the face, and said angrily: "Presumptuous!" You are just lowly slaves, what are you, even Zheng Peng's little beast is here, you have to be respectful to us, why, when you see that your master is not there, you dare to be disrespectful to the master's family? ”

Zheng Peng is a five-grade judge, when he came, Zheng Yuanye was still a little cowering, for fear that this nephew would not recognize him and put on his official authority, in order to pull Zheng Peng back to the Zheng family, he was ready to pretend to be a poor grandson, and he thought of a variety of possibilities, but he didn't expect Zheng Peng to go out on business and not be at home.

For some reason, hearing that Zheng Peng was not at home, Zheng Yuanye's mood became relaxed.

Ah Fu and Ah Shou couldn't confirm the identities of Zheng Yuanye and Zheng Jiashu, and they were respectful to the two, Zheng Yuanye's courage became bigger and bigger, and he was good at seeing the wind and steering, so he suddenly made a move.

If you can suppress the arrogance of these house slaves, before Zheng Peng goes home, he will be in charge of this place, and he may be able to make a lot of money.

It was expected that these subordinates would not dare to fight back, so Zheng Yuanye resolutely made a move.

"You, you... How do you hit someone? Ah Fu was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a look of indignation.

Zheng Yuanye said with a cold face: "It's you who is a snob, and the dog looks down on people, so I'll teach my nephew a lesson for you, a wicked slave, how about it?" ”

"Good fight" Zheng Jiashu stomped his feet and said on the side: "Yuan Ye is Zheng Peng's second uncle, whether he is close or not, his own family, the family is a little disputed, and he is also his own family, you are just Zheng Peng's house slaves, how can there be a reason for house slaves to embarrass the master's family." ”

If Zheng Peng was here, with an official uniform, Zheng Jiashu would still be afraid, but Zheng Peng was not there, only his house slave was there, so he would have no scruples.

In Zheng Jiashu's eyes, except for the main owner Zheng Peng, everyone else is insignificant.

The master's family beats the slaves, and they beat them, and they still need a reason?

With the support of the clan elders, Zheng Yuanye was even more arrogant, pointing at Ah Fu who was not angry, and scolded: "What do you see, be careful to gouge out your eyeballs, what are you doing, open the door, we are waiting for your master here, when he says no, it is not too late to send us to see the official, it depends on whether he dares or not." ”

While speaking, Zheng Yuanye pushed away Ah Fu, who was blocking in front, and was about to push the door in and forcibly move in.

The more people with status, the more they pay attention to their faces, Zheng Yuanye and Zheng Jiashu have discussed on the road, and when they come, they will make things bigger, and it is better for more people to know, and Zheng Peng will not be able to deal with it in a low-key manner when he wants to.

The word "filial piety" crushed Zheng Peng to death, and he didn't even have basic filial piety, look at how the people around him denounce him, and see if the court will use him again?

Just when Ah Fu was in a hurry and didn't know whether to stop it, someone suddenly scolded: "What person, stop!" ”

Ah Fu turned his head to look, his heart was happy, and he hurriedly shouted, "Miss Guo." ”

Great, at the critical moment, Guo Ketang arrived in time.

Zheng Yuanye was about to reprimand, when he heard Ah Fu call Miss Guo, he was shocked, turned his head and saw Guo Ketang, who was somewhat similar to his son Zheng Cheng's description of Miss Guo in Guo's Mansion in Guixiang, and he didn't dare to shout loudly, but just asked, "Who are you?" This is our Zheng family's family matter, and it is not your turn to take care of it. ”

Guo Ketang said with a sneer: "Miss Ben and Zheng Gongzi are friends, Zheng Gongzi entrusted me to take care of this place before leaving, naturally he has the power to manage it, who of you, in broad daylight, want to break into a private house?" ”

Zheng Yuanye was anxious when he heard this, and immediately introduced his identity and Zheng Jiashu's identity, and then took out his own office and seal letter for Guo Ketang to check, and said with a straight face: "A certain and uncle came to Chang'an to find Peng'er, just to talk about some housework, now we don't have much entanglement, it is normal for our nephew to settle down in the house, we stay, and don't leave, if my nephew comes back, saying that we are fake Chang, and then we will be beaten and killed or sent to the official, all of them are respectful." ”

"Yes, yes" Zheng Jiashu echoed on the side: "If the relatives come to vote, if they don't enter the door, it will not be good for Peng'er's reputation, and we are also thinking about Peng'er's reputation." ”

Guo Ketang said with a sneer: "The two of you don't have tokens, and Zheng Gongzi didn't leave a message before leaving, so you still want to break in, everyone is like you, isn't the world chaotic?" Zheng Gongzi went out on business, I don't know how long it will take to come back, the two of you live in, if something happens, who can afford it? ”

After seeing the two of them, Guo Ketang, who has read countless people, judged from the looks of the two of them, and guessed that what the two said was not far from ten, but she knew how the Zheng family in Yuancheng treated Zheng Peng, and also sent someone to check, Zheng Yuanye's father and son were the worst to Zheng Peng, and they had the heart to go with him.
