Zheng Dashi was the General of the Cavalry of the Sui Dynasty at that time. However, he, the General of the Cavalry, was different from the General of the Cavalry of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The General of the Cavalry of the Sui Dynasty was only the chief officer of the grassroots military system of the government, and his rank was only the fourth rank.

Zheng Dashi's only son Zheng Renji served as a member of the affairs office in the court and had a lower rank.

From this we can see that the Zheng family in Xingyang has indeed declined since the Sui Dynasty. Although Zheng Yi is still supporting it, Zheng Yi's deceased and Zheng Yi's descendants rely on Yu Yin's support, they are obviously no longer comparable to that year.

However, Sishui Pass is not far from Xingyang, and the name of the Zheng family is still very useful.

The most obvious thing is that after learning about Zheng Shi'an's request, the general of Sishui Pass immediately sent someone to inquire without saying a word.

Li Jianguo couldn't explain clearly where Yanjia Village was.

But it was obviously a distance away from Sishui Pass. It was naturally impossible to find any results in such a search. So two days later, Zheng Shi'an received the relevant documents from the commander of Sishui Pass and set off with Zheng Dashi.

During the Kaihuang period, Emperor Wen of Sui was very strict in managing household registration.

Especially for the hidden population among the aristocratic families, there is more special attention. Prime Minister Gao Ying conducted several census to strictly manage household registration. Of course, it is not difficult for aristocratic families to hide. However, Zheng Shi'an served the Zheng family for five generations, and his identity and status were different from ordinary slaves. So when he wanted to adopt Li Jianguo, he would naturally apply for household registration for him. However, in the relevant documents, Li Jianguo's name has become Zheng Yanqing. After returning to Xingyang, he will go through the relevant procedures, even if he has a formal identity.

Zheng Yanqing?

In Zheng Shi'an's arms, Li Jianguo repeated this name repeatedly.

He knew that from this moment on, he had officially integrated into this era. From now on, his name is Zheng Yanqing!

It did not take too long to go from Sishui Pass to Xingyang.

Because Zheng Shian wanted to obey Zheng Dashi, he left Zheng Yanqing in the car of Xu Ma and his son.

Speaking of which, Xu Ma and his son are not qualified to sit in the car. The reason why they can get in the car was because another baby in the car, Zheng Renji's son, Zheng Hongyi. Zheng Yanqing lay on the tiger skin mattress, leaning on her side, looking at Zheng Hongyi who was sleeping. But in his mind, he didn't have a moment of rest, thinking about what he would face in the future.

If the calculation is good, it should be the last year of Kaihuang.

After Kaihuang, there was four years of Renshou, and the next was the reign of a generation of foolish monarchs, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui.

When Emperor Yang of Sui was destroyed, he should be in his twenties, and what he wanted to welcome would be the arrival of a prosperous era.

How to go?

Zheng Yanqing must have a plan.

He didn't know that just as he was planning the future, he had a pair of eyes staring at him curiously and looked up and down.

Duoduo was already asleep and curled up beside Xu Ma.

Xu Ma stared at Zheng Yanqing, her heart full of curiosity...

This is a weird baby, and after a few days, he rarely heard him crying and was very quiet.

Generally speaking, babies' food, drinking, defecation and urination are not controlled. But this little guy seems to be sensible and doesn't have to worry about Xu Ma at all, nor does he have to change his diapers several times a day like the young master Zheng Hongyi. Most of the time, the little guy always has black eyes wide, sometimes he seems to be curious, sometimes he seems to be thinking.

thinking?

A smile appeared on the corner of Xu Ma's mouth.

She was laughing at herself, and which child was there that started thinking when she was still in her infancy?

But, this is such a funny little guy, isn't it?

The Zheng family is in Xingyang and has a strong foundation.

Each of the seven houses has its own residence, but only the main master of the family is qualified to live in the ancestral home. Although Zheng Dashi has fame and honor, he cannot live in the ancestral home. The place where he lives is called Anyuantang, which is also an important foundation for the Zheng family in Xingyang.

Hall name is also a representative symbol of aristocratic families.

Unlike most aristocratic families, the Zheng family in Xingyang has two hall names, one called Jingtang, which was named to celebrate Zheng Xuan, a master of Confucianism in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Only one clan leader can live in Jingtang; and the other hall name is Anyuantang, where Zheng Dashi is located, which was named after Emperor Xuan of Han, Zheng Ji pacified the Western Regions and was named Anyuan Marquis.

To some extent, these two hall names also demonstrate the ideals of Zheng's family's civil and military achievements.

Zheng Dashi got off the carriage outside the Anyuan Hall gate and said to Zheng Shi'an: "Shi'an, you settle the child first... By the way, I'll ask someone to arrange a nurse for you later, so it's convenient to take care of you. You have settled down and come to me."

A simple sentence shows Zheng Shi'an's extraordinary status in Anyuantang.

At this time, Xu Ma hugged Zheng Hongyi and Zheng Yanqing and walked over.

Zheng Dashi glanced at Xu Ma, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Let me do this, let Xu Ma go over and take care of her."

Although Xu's mother is nearly thirty years old, she is still charming.

Zheng Dashi bought Xu Ma and his son in Luoyang, but because Zheng Hongyi's mother had just passed away, the child also needed a nurse.

But he found that Zheng Renji seemed to be quite interested in Xu Ma.

Zheng Dashi had to be more careful. Zheng Renji was also young and strong, and his wife passed away. Zheng Dashi was thinking about finding another re-string for him. Moreover, he had an exam in his heart, so Zheng Dashi didn't want to have trouble at this time.

The marriage between aristocratic families also attaches great importance to reputation.

Zheng Renji's wife had just passed away. If any rumors were spread to her servants, her virtue would be detrimental to her, which would affect the marriage.

But when Zheng Yanqing heard this, his heart was shocked.

The reason was nothing special. It was because Duoduo's little girl had a green jewelry blade in her arms, and her identity was very strange. There should be too much involvement. Instinctively, he wanted to speak out, stretched out his hand from the cradle, and resisted.

Zheng Shian smiled, "It seems that this child is quite close to Xu Ma, just as the master said."

He has been with Zheng Dashi since he was a child, and of course he knows Zheng Dashi's thoughts best.

But Zheng Yanqing was unwilling to do so. It was because Duoduo and his daughter had unknown origins, so it would be too dangerous to stay by their side.

However, there was no room for him to object to this matter.

Zheng Yanqing was struggling when he saw a white horse galloping from a distance.

Immediately, a scholar sat upright, jumped off his war horse outside the gate of Anyuan Hall, and walked quickly to Zheng Dashi.

"Shanguo, why are you here?"

Zheng Dashi was a little surprised and said, "I was just saying that after I was washing up, I went to the scripture hall to worship my ancestors, but you came first."

Although the man was dressed as a scholar, he had wide sleeves and big robe and his clothes were flying.

But his body is very burly and sturdy, exuding a bold and magnificent style.

He saluted in front of Zheng Dashi, and then said, "Uncle, Duke Guichang heard that his uncle was back and asked me to ask you to go over immediately and discuss important matters."

Guichang Gong was Zheng Yi's eldest son, named Zheng Shanyuan.

Zheng Dashi was stunned and immediately knew something was wrong. He asked quickly: "Shanguo, the clan leader wants me to go over, what happened?"

Although Zheng Shanguo deliberately lowered his voice, Zheng Yanqing still listened roughly.

He only heard him whisper: "Uncle, news came from Chang'an that Yuan Concubine passed away ten days ago!"

Zheng Dashi's face suddenly turned ashen...
