So I play chess

Chapter 162
Wen Gu worked hard in the past few days, but the wind and cold yesterday finally gave her a break, and she slept soundly all night.

Zhixia didn't go back to her room to sleep at all, and lay down next to her bed all night, with nothing to do, except to help her tuck her quilt and so on.

Wen Gu woke up once in the middle, seeing that it was almost dawn, he urged Zhixia to go to bed.She sweated that night, but her body felt much refreshed, and she felt really lazy, so she fell asleep again.

So when Zheng Tong came to visit, both master and servant were still asleep.

Zheng Tong had no choice but to wait in the hall. After half an hour, he finally waited for someone who could talk to him.

"Now it's time to call Zheng Langjun." Zheng Tong saw Zheng Bai who came, and stood up with a smile to greet him.

Zheng Bai still behaved well, but he was not as close as that day, and his expression was much more indifferent: "Master Zheng, don't call me that, Zheng Bai can't afford it."

After saying a word, he handed the used soup and medicine bowl to the maid at the side, and then sat directly opposite Zheng Tong.

Zheng Bai had been prepared for his attitude long ago, and the smile on his face never faded, he just asked: "Is Miss Liu better?"

"I just drank the decoction, and I should be able to recover after two days." Zheng Bai replied politely, "Master Zheng came to see it specially, and I will definitely convey Master Zheng's thoughts to the young lady."

But Zheng Tong didn't give up, he still greeted the prefect's aunt, and waited until the rest of the people in the middle went down, and only the two people surnamed Zheng were left in the hall, and Master Zheng finally regained his elder attitude. , said some earnest words.

"After all, you are a member of the Zheng family. Now that Mrs. Liu wants you to serve Tangyao, it means that she values ​​you." Zheng Bai said carefully, "You must understand your identity and take good care of yourself, only then can you good future."

"Master Zheng is bothering you, I know how to deal with myself." Zheng Bai's attitude remained unchanged, and he said in a low voice, "I only want my mother to be safe."

Zheng Tong really couldn't find fault with his attitude, so he was satisfied.Then he asked again about Wen Gu's condition, and Zheng Bai honestly said it was just a cold, but Mrs. Liu was weak, and she was tired from playing a lot recently, and she just recovered slower than ordinary people.

Zheng Tong's trip was originally due to the abnormal attitude of the Wang family historians in the public examination, but now he knows in his heart that he probably won't be able to see the prefect's aunt today.

But it's not all fruitless.

Things like sickness are often one of the best shortcuts to change the distance between relatives and estrangements.The trackers of the Wang family and the swordsmen of the Li family certainly don't understand this, and they can't do it.

As soon as Zheng Bai was sent in, he caught up with the little lady who fell ill.This is really a good illness, a coincidence.

Zheng Tong gave another careful instruction, nothing more than to ask him how to take good care of the prefect's aunt. By the way, he reminded him that this opportunity is rare, and that the stonemason from Qianlong County and the drunkard who hit the big luck in Nanshi should not be allowed. Picked up the loophole.

Then he said he had nothing to say, so he had no choice but to say goodbye.

Zheng Bai sent him out, and asked when they could meet their mother and son. Zheng Tong only said that he should not think about it all the time. Mrs. Tian was entertained by Haosheng in the mansion. make arrangements.

When Zheng Bai heard this, of course he wouldn't make any more entanglements, sent Zheng Tong away, and went to report to Wen Gu in every detail.

At noon that day, several ladies who had been here yesterday gathered together again in the same house. Of course, the ones here coincidentally only refer to the Zheng family. The historians of the Wang family are now tied together, with their backs against the prefect aunt, He made up his mind to tangle with the Zheng family.

However, these few were all blocked by Zhixia with the excuse of "the eldest lady is getting more and more cold, and she is still resting", and no one saw them.

Since everyone is the same, there is nothing new to say.It's just that after that, there were a lot of servants from various families who were outside the house, and they didn't listen to the news inside the house, but to see who was doing something in private.

Interestingly, the three largest families are in a two-to-one situation on the surface. In fact, the people sent by the Wang family historians often end up together one by one. the meaning of.

Wen Gu specifically asked Wen Liang to leave them alone and let them toss each other.

For the next two days, Wen Gu didn't even go out of his small courtyard. He said it was to recuperate his spirit, but in fact he did.

During this period, the three families of Zheng, Wang, and Shi were in the four city gates, almost dissipating the friendship gathered under Yang Wantang's suppression for so many years.

The opening of the public inspection, if it is small, it is small, and if it is big, it is big, it is by no means easy to let go.Now, who knows when Tongcheng will be stable and when there will be no more refugees.

The prefect's aunt only said that the public examination can be open, but it has not been decided which one will be opened to which family, which means that they are only asked to allocate it by themselves.

In this way, the four city gates are divided into three families, and there is no way to calculate an average.

Moreover, due to the convenient terrain of the east and south city gates, most of the refugees entered the city through these two gates.As the west and north are close to Beiyu, there are inherent disadvantages in the first place.Adding this in, it gets a little more complicated.

Originally, the division of the two families was quite clear, but after the Zheng family got involved, the situation was completely different.

The three families in the middle also got rid of the sick aunt of the prefect and Liu Zhu, the prefect who was excluded again, and sat down to have a good talk.

Zheng Tong wanted to monopolize the two places, so the two masters, Wang and Shi, naturally refused to give up.However, who will be in charge of the most important South City Gate is not a matter of course.

Although the three masters who are in charge of the family are also clear, perhaps the prefect aunt is trying to avoid this situation, so she doesn't speak so clearly.

Of course, this situation may also be caused by her on purpose, but as long as the three families divide it, the situation will become like this sooner or later.But at this time, the Wang and Shi families took advantage of it first. Although the Zheng family came later, they did not lose their chance.No one could say what the prefect aunt said was unfair.

In the end, Zheng Tong insisted on snatching the west city gate, and Wang and Shi were assigned to the other three places.The two didn't know how they chatted, and they didn't have a good face when they broke up.

The two are not too different from each other, so who should suffer?
While the competition here was in full swing, the Sun family master arranged another business alone. On the second day after the prefect's aunt fell ill, there was a team from the Sun family at each of the four city gates to escort out boxes of money. city.

Due to the instructions of the prefect's aunt in advance, in order to make room for the three masters, the city gate has been relaxed a lot in the past few days.Master Sun laughed at these three idiots who didn't know how to adapt, and at the same time quietly bought food in the city.
