Chapter 87 Going home
The Qifang will probably be implicated by the house this time... But for Zheng, there will be no more worries."
Li Yanqing's eyes were bright and he stared at Zheng Hongyi.
"Hongyi, you will move into the Jingtang soon after you go back to Xingyang."
Zheng Hongyi was stunned and suddenly raised his head.
"Yan Qing, what you mean is..."
"Although Duke Guichang has passed away, he is the mastermind of this matter after all. The second house cannot continue to control the Zheng family in terms of fame and financial resources. Uncle Zheng and Uncle Zheng San have resigned from the position of clan elders, and their family left Xingyang and are preparing to go to Taiyuan. The second house, the four clan elders, are now only Shanguo Gong who is left. Two days ago, Shanguo Gong wrote a letter and mentioned that he was not well-off and was difficult to take on the heavy responsibility."
The brothers Zheng Yuanshou and Zheng Yuancong were first suffering from the loss of their son, but were also implicated in conspiracy, and were quite discouraged.
It has become a fact that the second house could no longer take charge of the Zheng family. So they also resigned from the position of elders and left Zheng Shanguo alone to maintain the second house's business. However, the change of the Zheng family was imminent. When the second house no longer had any ability to maintain the entire Zheng family, Zheng Renji from Anyuantang became the first choice for all the Zheng family.
First of all, after years of operation, Zheng Renji not only changed the appearance of Xingyang Iron Smelting Workshop, but also achieved an unparalleled financial resources after the merger of Nanlai Zheng's family. He also could not compete with Anyuantang. Zheng Renji's son Zheng Hongyi, who had won the title of medal at a young age and was merged into the Evangelist's Stage for training. There is no doubt that he would enter the court in the future... Under such circumstances, it was urgent for Liufang to take over the Jingtang and control the Zheng family. What he lacked now is who will take over Anyuantang after Liufang... But no matter who takes over Anyuantang, it is impossible for Zheng Shanguo to take over.
Although Zheng Hongyi was not in Xingyang, he was very familiar with the changes that had taken place in the clan.
After hearing this, he said softly without any joy: "Yanqing, can you return to the Zheng family? I am worried without you taking care of you..."
Yan Qing smiled and hugged Zheng Hongyi's shoulder.
"Hongyi, if I return to Zheng, it will only harm the Zheng family.
Listen to me, although I have resentment towards the Zheng family, I am only to the Zheng family, not to you. Grandpa said, "We are both the same age. When he adopted me, you and I were fed by Xu Ma. To be honest, you and I are considered a mother and a compatriot. Although I have no brotherhood, I regard you as a brother. Listen to me, don't consider other things after you go back, and stabilize the Zheng family first.
Anyway, it will take only half a day to get from Xingyang to Gong County.
If you have any questions, come to me. As long as I can help you, I will never refuse. If you have time, go to Guancheng to visit Lao Xu. When we three brothers grew up together, we must work together in the future. According to your father's words, Lao Xu will marry your sister this year."
Zheng Hongyi's sister Zheng Lizhu and Zheng Hongyi are half-brothers.
My mother is from the Cui clan, and by this year she is 14. According to the rules of the aristocratic families, she can get married at this age.
Xu Shiji is already twenty years old, so he is considered a Cheng Ding.
He has been appointed as the magistrate of Guancheng County. He made great contributions in this rebellion and will inevitably be promoted again. The Xu family's industry, after Xu Gai's years of operation, has gained a foothold in Heluo and became stronger. If Zheng Renji wants to sit in Jingtang, it is urgent to marry Zheng Xu. Zheng Hongyi had a good relationship with Xu Shiji when he was a child. However, later, because Xu Shiji stayed in Luoyang and he returned to Xingyang, his relationships gradually became less common. Now, Zheng Hongyi has grown up, and has learned more about the world.
Zheng Hongyi nodded, "Then I will go back and visit Lao Xu."
While speaking, he was still unhappy about Yan Qing's unwillingness to return to Zheng's family. But in his heart, Zheng Hongyi also knew that what Yan Qing said was not bad.
After this battle, Li Yanqing will inevitably re-enter Yang Guang's sight.
If he returns to the Zheng family, Yang Guang will instead be jealous of him and the Zheng family.
On the contrary, if Yan Qing is now in Gong County, if he does not rely on anyone, he will have a win-win situation. It is good for the Zheng family and Li Yanqing himself.
That night, Zheng Hongyi stayed in Gong County and had a long talk with Yanqing all night.
After dawn, Li Yanqing sent Zheng Hongyi outside the Shili Pavilion, and the two left tears.
Seeing Zheng Hongyi apart, although the imperial court's reward had not yet been received, Yan Qing became even busier.
Zheng Shi'an fell ill again, and his condition became even worse...
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the old man was in good spirits and pulled Yan Qing and called Xiong Dahammer, Wang Zheng, Pei Shuying and others to watch the moon in the back garden. But unexpectedly, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were only two days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn rained overnight, and the weather was warm and cold, Zheng Shi'an could no longer get up.
Yan Qing was frightened!
He quickly invited a doctor to treat Zheng Shi'an.
He himself also had some medical skills, and knew that Zheng Shi'an would probably be difficult to survive this time. Although birth, old age, sickness and death are common in the world, when faced with the fact that after he was reborn, the old man he was with for the longest time and was closest to him would leave, Li Yanqing still felt panic.
In his previous life, he had experienced separation from life and death.
In this life, he has also witnessed countless deaths.
But when faced it again, he still felt a sense of heaviness that could not be endured in his life. For several days, he stayed by Zheng Shi'an's side and did not dare to leave.
Pei Shuying and Mao Xiaonian took turns to persuade him, but they could not let Li Yanqing leave the sickbed for half a step.
Looking at Zheng Shi'an's thin face, the words and grief arise from the heart.
He sat quietly aside, holding Zheng Shi'an's hand, his heart felt like he was cramped.
"Yan Qing'er, don't be sad.
I have served others all my life, and I have never thought of getting old, but I have added so many glory. What regrets do I have with Sun Rusi? I am just worried that after I leave, you will bear the many storms alone, and I am really worried... My son, you are talented, know how to endure and choose. Now that you meet your uncle again, there will be no one to take care of you. I should have left with confidence, but after thinking about it, I still have some words to tell you.
My son, there are many dangers in this world.
Although forbearance can be the whole body, it is possible to lose more excitement. You have a deep mind and thought carefully, which is a good thing. But sometimes, you have less youthful blood and may miss something that should belong to you. When some things are unbearable, you don’t need to endure them anymore. Little do you know that people are bullied by others and horses are ridden by others. I believe that you will definitely make the best choice.”
"Grandpa, I've recorded it!"
After Zheng Shi'an finished speaking, he felt a little tired, so he closed his eyes.
Yan Qing sat next to him and took a nap in a daze. In the middle of the night, Mao Xiaonian came to take over him. Yan Hu had a good persuasion and finally let him go to the room next to rest.
Maybe he was too tired, Li Yanqing fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
At dawn, he woke up with a loud noise.
He hurriedly walked out of the room with his clothes and saw many people gathering at the door of Zheng Shi'an's room.
He shuddered and ran forward, and saw a doctor slowly walking out of the room with a heavy expression on his face.
"What happened?"
Yan Qing had already guessed the answer in his heart, but couldn't believe it.
Mao Xiaonian tried hard to stop him, burst into tears, and said softly: "Young master, he is... leaving!"
The thin waist and four eyes crawled in front of the bedroom door, and suddenly raised his head and let out a shrill whimper. Yan Qing suddenly felt blank in his mind.
