In the port town of Xiamen, a little girl about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a blue-green dress, with eyebrow bangs, a double beard combed on her head, and a basket in her hand, walked on the bluestone street.

Some of the little girls only dared to follow the little girl from a distance, but they did not dare to make a noise, because the little girl was followed by two sturdy men dressed as domestic servants.

Suddenly, there was a shouting and scolding from the street: "Dead tartar! ”

"Kill them!"

"Kill these dead tartars!"

Groups of Eight Banner soldiers with their hands tied were escorted by the Ming army and passed by the street, as many as a thousand people! These Eight Banner soldiers, who are usually high-spirited, are now dejected, their eyes are gloomy, and they no longer have the majesty of the past. These Eight Banner soldiers, Zheng Chenggong originally planned to cut off their hands and feet and send them back, but King Yanping accepted Wang Xinyu's suggestion and left them to prepare to be used as coolies. It's just that Taiwan hasn't even been beaten yet, so how can you go to Qiongzhou to open a mine? But the food of the Ming army could not support these Eight Banners soldiers in vain, they had to do hard work, build wharves, sailor Dazhai, help the Ming army repair the fortifications damaged by the Qing army, and also go to the mountains to build roads.

The leaders of these Eight Banners, including the Qing general Lu Hara, have all been beheaded, leaving only these small soldiers. There were also some captured Eight Banner soldiers, about 300 people, who were captured in other places, and those people did not get Zheng Chenggong's promise to surrender and not kill, they were all tied hand and foot by the Ming army, thrown into the sea and drowned.

Bricks, clods of soil, rotten vegetable leaves, and saliva fell on these Eight Banners soldiers. If it hadn't been stopped by the Ming army escorting the captives, I'm afraid that the people on the street would have rushed up and tore these Eight Banners soldiers to pieces.

The woman in the green shirt hurriedly stood on the side of the road and made way for the Ming army escorting the captives.

"Miss Liu'er, these are the Tartars who occupy my Ming Dynasty and kill my Ming people!" A domestic servant looked angrily at the captured Eight Banners and said to the little girl.

After the Ming army holding the captives had passed, the three of them went to a shop, bought some things, and walked back to a compound with the words "Zheng Fu" written on the door, and the three of them entered the gate.

This is Zheng Xingying's mansion. Zheng Xingying had lost Xiamen a few years earlier, and was invaded by the Qing army, and he was beheaded for his crimes. But later Zheng Chenggong pardoned him. In fact, Zheng Chenggong is not a person who favoritism, he can even severely punish his son Zheng Jing for making big mistakes, let alone a cousin. Just because Zheng Xingying's eldest daughter succeeded Zheng Chenggong as a daughter, and promised to be married to Li Dingguo's son. Zheng Chenggong felt that after beheading Zheng Xingying, Li Dingguo's face was not good-looking, and Zheng Xingying had made meritorious contributions and worked hard to remedy it, so he pardoned him for the crime of losing his land.

In Zheng Xingying's study, he was chatting with his daughter: "Yun'er, you have grown up too, it's time to get married." ”

"Dad, I don't marry, I want to stay with my dad for the rest of my life." Zheng Yun pouted and coquettish.

"Yun'er, your father can't support you for a lifetime, you always have to leave your father, teach your husband and children, and live your own life. That prince Wang is the prince who takes a fancy to him, and he must be a good person. ”

Who knew that Zheng Yun was not happy: "The prince of Jin is also a good family that the prince likes!" How many years has my daughter not seen her eldest sister? I don't know how the eldest sister is now. ”

Thinking of her eldest daughter, Zheng Xingying's eyes unconsciously turned red: Li Dingguo fought all his life, lived in no fixed place, and it is said that he is still defeated, and Emperor Yongli abandoned the country and went to Burma. I don't know what Li Dingguo's situation is now, maybe in this life, I don't want to see my eldest daughter again.

"Miss! Miss! Outside the house, there was the cry of the personal maid Liu'er.

Zheng Yun left her father and rushed out of her father's study like a cheerful sparrow.

Looking at her daughter's back, Zheng Xingying sighed: "This child has been pampered since he was a child!" I don't know what will happen after marrying that prince. ”

Wang Xinyu had just walked out of the palace of Yanping County and walked aimlessly on the streets of Xiamen Port with two personal soldiers. The people from the Yanping County Mansion have already helped him go to the Zheng Mansion once, and they have all said what they should say, and then Wang Xinyu has to visit his future father-in-law by himself. But he didn't know what to bring to the door.

Directly bring the silver bride price to propose? Wang Xinyu can't do such a thing. In my previous life, I was in free love with my wife for six years, four years in college, and another two years after graduation, and it took six years to get together. When you come to this world, is it possible that a woman who has never met before has decided to marry like this? But the marriage of Wang Xu of Yanping County can't be pushed off, right? If the king of Yanping County is angry, I am afraid that all future plans will be ruined.

At this time, Xiamen Port was a small town, very close to Xiamen University, the alma mater of the previous life, in the area of today's Zhenhai Road and Xiagang Road. The bluestone-paved street is quite lively, after all, this is one of the few places where the Han family still retains their clothes. But Wang Xinyu knew that if history did not change, within a few years, the Manchu army would set foot on this land, forcibly shave the hair of the people here, drive them out of Xiamen Island, and move inland. Those who did not want to obey were mercilessly slaughtered.

When he was thinking wildly, suddenly his own soldier Li Rui said: "My lord, my subordinates heard that Miss Zheng is beautiful and famous." Her sister seems to have married the prince of Jin a few years ago. ”

"Miss Zheng's sister marries the prince of Jin?" Wang Xinyu was stunned when he heard this.

"My subordinates also heard about it, but it should be true."

Wang Xinyu felt incredible, he hadn't seen Li Dingguo yet, and he was about to become a relative with him. He didn't know the word brother-in-law, he only knew what he said in his previous life: the husband of the eldest sister-in-law is generally called brother-in-law, and the prince of Jin is his brother-in-law.

Zheng Mansion is definitely going to go, but the hairy-footed son-in-law can't come to the door empty-handed for the first time.

Wang Xinyu thought about it, but he didn't know what to buy, and King Yanping didn't explain what he wanted to buy. This kind of thing should have been explained by the mother at home, how could the dignified prince even explain the things of life. But I didn't go home last night, and I went out to Xiamen Port in a hurry this morning, and my mother didn't know about it. Because Wang Xinyu thought in his heart, anyway, he wouldn't give the bride price so soon, so he had to see Miss Zheng first, right? After we met, I went back and told my mother that it was still too late.

I really can't think of anything to bring to the door, and finally Wang Xinyu thought: Forget it, let's bring silver to the door, the prince of Yanping rewarded himself with 1,000 taels of silver last night, and when he came out today, he brought 100 taels of silver to the door.

When he arrived at the gate of the Zheng Mansion, the family at the door stopped: "This lord, is there anything wrong with coming to the Zheng Mansion?" ”

Wang Xinyu reported his name, and the family Ding screamed, and hurriedly turned around: "Hurry up and report to the Lord, my uncle is here!" Jia Ding turned his head to Wang Xinyu and said, "Uncle, please!" ”

Wang Xinyu took out the broken silver, rewarded the family, and walked into the gate.

The two pro-soldiers were about to follow up, but they were stopped by the family: "Please come with me to the side room!" ”

Wang Xinyu stepped into the main hall under the guidance of a family member.

Zheng Xingying received a report from his subordinates, saying that the prospective aunt was here, so he hurriedly went to the hall to wait.

The two sat down as the guest of honor, Wang Xinyu didn't know what to say, and the scene was a little embarrassing for a while.

Or Zheng Xingying opened the topic first: "The virtuous nephew is young, but he has such a talent, he has made great contributions to my Ming Dynasty, and he is deeply cherished by the prince. ”

"Lord Zheng has won the prize! The subordinates were just lucky, beheaded a few Tartars, and were accidentally favored by the prince. Wang Xinyu hugged his fists.

Zheng Xingying deliberately pretended to be angry: "Virtuous nephew, this is you!" The old man calls you a virtuous nephew, and you still call the old man Lord Zheng, claiming to be a subordinate? ”

Wang Xinyu hurriedly stood up, bowed down and said, "Uncle Zheng is above, and I will be worshiped by my little nephew!" ”

Zheng Xingying hurriedly helped Wang Xinyu up: "Virtuous nephew, get up!" Let's sit down and talk about it! ”

While he was talking, Wang Xinyu suddenly saw a little Lori Yingying wearing a turquoise dress walk out and serve tea to the two guests.

Wang Xinyu looked at it fixedly, and saw that this little Lori was about thirteen or fourteen years old, not much older than his sister, pretty, with a bit of childishness on her face, which made people very pitiful, and her budding chest was slightly uplifted, which made people feel a temptation. If this is placed in his previous life, he will definitely be a little beauty at the level of a child star. When this little Lori was in front of her, there was a faint fragrance of a faint girl.

Little Lori said a blessing and didn't speak, then turned around and walked back behind the screen.

Wang Xinyu only heard the voices of two women talking softly behind the screen, as if discussing themselves. Could it be that the little Lori just now is Miss Zheng? I saw that her clothes were made of exquisite materials, not like the coarse cloth skirts worn by her subordinates. If it's Miss Zheng, then there's really a sense of guilt, so little Lori, who was still a junior high school student in her previous life, how could she destroy flowers with her hands.

Hearing the voice of her daughter behind the screen, Zheng Xingying shouted: "Yun'er, come out to see Wang Gongzi!" ”

Unexpectedly, there were a few slight footsteps behind him, and Wang Xinyu could no longer hear the sound of someone talking.

Zheng Xingying turned her head and said helplessly: "The little girl is used to being pampered and is not sensible, and I hope that my nephew will forgive me." ”

This time, Wang Xinyu felt even more that the little Lori just now should be the Miss Zheng family. Thinking of such a small little Lori, Wang Xinyu thought, when will he propose? That little Lori is really beautiful, and she doesn't suffer a loss at all when she marries her, and she earns it, but she's too young to do that kind of spicy thing.

In the next time, Wang Xinyu didn't know what to say. This Zheng Xingying is not like the ambitious King of Yanping, and he has no common language with him at all.

After sitting for a while, Wang Xinyu decided to get up and say goodbye first, and talk about it later. If you destroy the flowers with your hot hands and destroy this little Lori, you really can't bear it. It's really not good, can you fall in love first and then wait a few years to get married? Anyway, you can't be a Lolita. After making up his mind, he stood up: "Uncle Zheng, the matter that the prince of Yanping explained to the little nephew has not been done, the little nephew will leave first, and he will go to the artillery factory for a trip, and he will visit Uncle Zheng another day." ”

Zheng Xingying also stood up and asked the family to see off the guests. At this time, he wondered very much: This Wang Yu has come to the door, why don't you mention kissing? Could it be that he doesn't look down on our Zheng family? But after thinking about it, since he had said goodbye in advance, let's go with him first, the family affairs promised by the prince of Yanping, forgive him and dare not shirk it.

If Zheng Xingying knew that Wang Xinyu regarded the young lady's personal maid Liu'er as a young lady, she would definitely be so shocked that her jaw dropped.

In the girl's boudoir, Zheng Yunzheng and Liu Er were whispering.

"Miss, this uncle is still very handsome, and the maid really looks at him with a bit of Changshan Zhao Zilong's demeanor." Liu Er said.

Zheng Yun blushed and beat Liu'er: "Let you say it again!" Let's say it again! ”

At this moment, someone outside came to report: "Miss, it's not good, my uncle ran away without mentioning his relatives!" ”

Zheng Yun suddenly turned pale with anger: "Okay, you Wang Yu!" It's not like my aunt and grandmother, isn't it! Another day, Miss Ben will personally clean up your shameless villain! ”

At this time, Liu Er said coldly: "Miss, didn't you say that you don't want to get married?" Why are you angry again? ”

"Good girl! Stop, don't run! Let Miss Ben hit you! Zheng Yun chased after Liu'er.
