"I don't know if I am here, and I am really rude to miss the welcome." went out and confirmed that the person who came was Zheng Changshou of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and Zheng Changduo saluted a little flattered.

Xingyang's family came suddenly, without any warning beforehand, which was like a dream for Zheng Changduo, who had no way to throw stones.

The flattering expression is very much like a concubine who has been neglected for many years and is suddenly pampered.

Excited and excited, Zheng Changduo smiled a little stiffly, but it did not prevent the folds of his old face from opening layer by layer, blooming like a chrysanthemum after autumn.

I don't know why, when Zheng Changshou came, he didn't wear gold and silver, he was wearing a round-necked robe, and there was only one attendant by his side, but the domineering and self-confidence inadvertently revealed between his eyebrows were enough to impress Zheng Changduo.

That's the momentum of the higher-ups.

"It's all my family, you're welcome, Yongxuan (Zheng Changshou's character) suddenly visited, didn't you get Brother Changduo's Qing Xiu, right?" Zheng Changshou said with a smile.

"No, no, Brother Yongxuan is serious, to be able to get a noble person like Brother Yongxuan to come, the cold house is really glorious." Zheng Changduo hurriedly responded.

Zheng Changshou smiled, looked left and right, nodded and said, "Yes, there are really outstanding people here." ”

"Brother Yongxuan, don't stand here, please come in." Zheng Changduo bent over and made a gesture of please to Zheng Changshou.

"Please"

When entering the door, Zheng Changduo not only led the way personally, but also deliberately fell half a step behind, just like Zheng Changshou's follower.

When taking a seat, Zheng Changduo gave up the position of representing power for the first time, and instead sat opposite Zheng Changshou to show respect.

Offering tea and snacks, the two exchanged a few polite words, Zheng Changduo knew that Zheng Changshou would not rush here to chat with him, and took the initiative to speak: "I don't know if Brother Yongxuan is coming, what are your orders?" ”

Zheng Changshou looked left and right, smiled and said nothing.

"Stand down, all of you, and let no one come in without my command." Zheng Changduo understood and immediately asked all his subordinates to go out.

When he saw that there were only himself and Zheng Changduo in the lobby, Zheng Changshou put down the tea cup in his hand and said a little indifferently: "Brother Changduo is really a blessing, Yuancheng Zheng's family has a young character, this is not only the glory of Yuancheng Zheng's family, Xingyang Zheng's family is also honored, but Peng Xiaolangjun and Changduo brother have some misunderstanding, I don't know what Brother Changduo is going to do?" ”

Sure enough, it was a question about Zheng Peng.

Zheng Changduo had a stirring spirit in his heart, and his first reaction was that Zheng Changshou appeared here, would he rob him of people?

It is normal in ancient times that there are talents next to the side of the house, which will allow the main urea to absorb the past, which is a very normal thing in ancient times, so that the clan can continue to grow and inherit, and finally a talent has been produced, Zheng Changduo is really unwilling to be pulled away.

"Cutting meat does not leave the skin, how can a family have an overnight feud" Zheng Changduo said with a serious face: "The act of the day is actually a disguised encouragement, now Peng'er's parents are complete, and the genealogy enshrined in the ancestral hall also has Peng'er's name, so it is reasonable to be reasonable, the gate of the Zheng family will always be kept for Peng'er." ”

Zheng Changshou nodded and said: "This is reasonable, the descendants of the Zheng family, naturally can't wander outside, there are no outsiders here, let's get straight to the point, Brother Changduo, if Zheng Peng returns, how are you going to treat him?" ”

"As long as Peng'er admits his mistake, the past will be erased." Zheng Changduo said generously.

"Oh" Zheng Changshou just replied and didn't speak.

Zheng Changduo didn't know what the other party meant, hesitated, and quickly said: "The position of the head of the Zheng family in Yuancheng will also be passed on to Peng'er in the future." ”

Speaking of the position of the head of the family, Zheng Changshou finally reacted, sat up straight all of a sudden, and said unceremoniously: "Since it is a transmission, why not spread it earlier?" ”

"What does Brother Yongxuan mean?" Zheng Changduo said with some hesitation.

Zheng Changshou's meaning seems to be to let himself pass on the position of the head of the family to Zheng Peng now, although Zheng Changshou is from the Zheng family in Xingyang, but now it is too wide.

"Let Xian is a beautiful thing, Emperor Shun's Zen let make Dayu, but also the first son of heaven in China; Song King Li Chengqi's Rang Xian, the achievement of today's son, also has the Tang Dynasty Zhongxing's Kaiyuan prosperous era, natural treasures, destined people to get it, the temple is high, and the talented live in it, maybe the Changduo brother's let go, will achieve a legend of the Zheng family in Yuancheng. Zheng Changshou said nakedly.

"Peng'er is too young, will the heavy responsibility of the head of this family be heavy?" Zheng Changduo said with some surprise.

It's a bit, this is too straightforward, just say that as long as you Zheng Changduo step down, the Yuancheng Zheng family will definitely live too well.

It's almost the same as slapping your face in the face, but considering that the other party is the core elder of the Zheng clan in Xingyang, the status of the two sides is very different, and people don't have to be polite to themselves at all.

If Zheng Peng hadn't performed well and been promoted to a knighthood, not to mention Zheng Changshou coming to the door in person, or Zheng Changduo visiting in person, it would be a question whether he could enter that gate.

However, it also revealed a piece of news: Xingyang Zheng is very optimistic about Zheng Peng and has the intention of helping Zheng Peng.

Zheng Changshou smiled indifferently: "After leaving home, with his own strength, he was promoted to a general within three years, and he was knighted, Brother Changduo, Zheng Peng is in the Western Regions, as the deputy superintendent of the army, commanding thousands of horses and thousands of troops, do you think that thousands of horses and thousands of troops are more difficult to manage than the Zheng clan in Yuancheng?" ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Changshou lowered his voice and said: "Brother Changduo, I know your concerns, I am afraid that Zheng Peng alone will occupy too many family resources, in fact, you can rest assured that Zheng Peng has cooperated with the Guo family of Guixiang, and he has made millions of profits a year, and his popularity in the officialdom is also very good. ”

Zheng Changduo hesitated for a moment, and quickly nodded firmly.

The words are said so bluntly, Zheng Changduo has no need to fight anymore, now it is the Yuancheng Zheng family that needs Zheng Peng, and Zheng Peng's need for the Yuancheng Zheng family is dispensable.

If Zheng Changduo is ruthless, Zheng Peng will not be good, he will be condemned by morality, and his official career may be blocked, but the Zheng family in Yuancheng finally came up with a character, and Zheng Changduo is reluctant to hit himself in the foot with a stone.

.......

"When" "When" "When"

Yuancheng suddenly sounded a crisp and loud copper bell, and the people listened to the direction, and soon confirmed that it was the direction of the Zheng family in Yuancheng.

The last time it sounded was three years ago.

Needless to say, something big happened to the Zheng family again.

"The bronze bell rang on this day, what happened to the Zheng family?"

"What's the big deal, nine times out of ten it is a reward from the imperial court, and now they are proud."

"Who said no, who would have thought that the loser of the day would become a general and be knighted, which is really unseemly."

"Hehe, the Qian family in the north of the city regrets that their intestines are green, I heard that the daughter of the Qian family is about to get engaged to Zheng Peng, and the Qian family regretted it when she entered the door, it is said that recently it is a smile and a gift, that is, it is useless to accompany the most profitable crude medicine shop in the city to the Zheng family as a dowry."

"Heh, people even rejected Weizhou Sima's niece, a small Qian family, where can you see it, you see, Peng Xiaolangjun will definitely marry a girl with five surnames."

"Why do you say so much, go and see the excitement, the Zheng family has made such a big move, it is very likely that Peng Xiaolangjun is back, it is better to get some luxury."

While everyone was talking, they walked in the direction of the Zheng family.

After a while, there were already people on the outer three floors and the inner three floors in front of the Zheng family.

At this moment, the main figures of the Zheng clan in Yuancheng, Zheng Changduo, the head of the family, the four sons Zheng Yuanjia, Zheng Yuanye, Zheng Yuanxing, Zheng Yuanwang, Zheng Cheng, Zheng Wan, Zheng Li and other males are all there, and Zheng Jiashu, Zheng Jiachang and other elders are also there, all gathered at the door.

It looks like they're waiting for someone.

"Aye, what should I do?" Zheng Cheng asked Zheng Yuanye on the side with some fear.

designed to drive Zheng Peng out of the Zheng family, at that time Zheng Cheng fantasized about becoming the head of the family and inheriting the family business in the future, but he didn't expect Zheng Changduo to be old and strong, and his health has always been very good, and Zheng Yuanye, who was pampered at home, also ate fat and fat, and wanted to fight a "long-term war", but he didn't expect that he didn't wait for the day when he became the head of the family, but he first waited for Zheng Peng, who was expelled from the house.

What I didn't expect was that Zheng Peng not only became a general in just three years, but also became a knight.

Zheng Peng returned to his hometown this time, and his eldest father also announced at the internal family meeting held in the ancestral hall that he would pass on the position of head of the family to Zheng Peng.

I don't know how Zheng Peng will deal with himself.

Zheng Yuanye also said a little depressedly: "Who would have thought that Xingyang Zheng's hand was stretched out so long. ”

originally succeeded in persuading his own Lao Tzu to let him be a wicked person and a good person, but when the time came, he would "redeem his merits", but he didn't expect his Lao Tzu's attitude to change so quickly.

Plans can't keep up with the changes.

"Just use the bitter meat first" Zheng Yuanye's eyes rolled: "If you are an official, who doesn't cherish your reputation, then we will admit your mistakes and make amends to him in front of the villagers and elders in Yuancheng, so that he will not be able to treat us well." ”

Zheng Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Aya, this is the only way." ”

While he was talking, the crowd suddenly became agitated, and there were people shouting words like "Peng Xiaolangjun is back", Zheng Cheng looked up, first shocked, a lot faster, his eyes began to become complicated: surprised, scared, envious, jealous.....

In the crowd, I saw a young man in fresh clothes and angry armor, wearing silk and satin, riding a high-headed horse, with a smile between his eyebrows and a spring breeze from far to near, although he said that he had been separated for three years, Zheng Cheng recognized at a glance that the person who came was Zheng Peng, the person he hated the most.

It's unfair, even the subordinates around Zheng Peng wear more decent clothes than themselves.

Zheng Peng rode a horse, greeting the people on the side of the road while riding slowly, and stopped from time to time to deal with two sentences, when Zheng Peng saw Zheng Cheng, who was a little flustered, secretly looking at himself in the crowd, the corners of his mouth showed a subtle sneer.

Finally meet again.

The eyes of the two looked at each other in mid-air, but for a short time, Zheng Cheng withdrew his eyes with some fear, did not dare to look at Zheng Peng, and deliberately or unintentionally hid behind Zheng Yuanye.
