The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 638 Delusions
Yuzhu didn't seem to notice Xiao Nan's loss of control, she repeated obediently: "Return to Madam, the nineteenth son of the Zheng family, Mr. Zheng Ping, please see me."

Damn, she heard it right, he's really the boy of the Zheng family!
Xiao Nan sat up slowly, and confirmed again: "Is it really Zheng Ping? Zheng Nineteen?"

Yuzhu nodded.

Xiao Nan gritted his teeth and whispered, "What is he doing here?!"

She was just muttering to herself and didn't want to, but Yuzhu thought that the master was asking her something, so she quickly bowed and replied: "Ma'am, Mr. Zheng Shijiu said that he heard that Mr. Lang and Mrs. are knowledgeable, but it's a pity that he was young in the past." , I'm afraid I can't understand the admonition of the two elders, now that he's grown up, I'm here to ask for advice!"

Damn, to use this as an excuse, if my wife believes it, it would be an insult to my IQ!

Xiao Nan slowly put his legs down from the couch, and sat down with his feet down, his expression was very uncertain, he was probably thinking about something.

After a while, she sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, please wait in the main hall of the atrium, and I will go there in a while!"

It happened that she also wanted to take a closer look at Zheng Ping, after all, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times.

"Yes!"

Yuzhu was ordered to retreat.

Xiao Nan called two maidservants to change her into the clothes for meeting guests, and then gave Yuzan a few words before getting up and going to the atrium.

In the main hall of the atrium, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy sat on a single couch with his back straight, his hands neatly placed on his knees, his head slightly lowered, and his eyes fixed, quietly waiting for the elders to come.

After sitting on his knees for a full quarter of an hour, his body began to shake slightly, and the hands resting on his knees kept rubbing, as if he was wiping away sweat, and also seemed to be diverting his attention.

In fact, he wanted to move his legs more, since he had been sitting upright for a short while, his legs were already sore and numb.

But when he thought of his parents' instructions before going out, and the bright future his aunt told him, he had to grit his teeth and hold on.

I only complained secretly in my heart: Mrs. Qi Guo is really, they are all a family, and I will soon be her son-in-law, but she is still so arrogant.

Also, now that Hu-style furniture is in power, the Zheng family’s reception hall has long been replaced with high-end furniture. Why is the Cui family still using the low couches of the Wei and Jin dynasties?

This, this is too outdated, right? !
Don't look at Zheng Ping with his head down, kneeling down seemingly honestly, but his eyes are not idle, and he is looking around in circles.

Apart from the short-legged furniture that he complained about, the other decorations in the main hall are quite enviable to him: single-silk curtains, painted screens painted by celebrities, top-grade white porcelain appliances, purple gold Boshan stove, top quality Rosewood...

Many things are tributes that money can't buy, even their Zheng family doesn't have so many royal gifts.

Tsk tsk, no wonder Aniang grabbed his ear and repeatedly told him to behave well in front of Mrs. Qi. After he successfully married his wife's eldest daughter, if nothing else, Cui Lingxi's dowry alone would be able to make him Their family lived a luxurious life.

Just as Zheng Ping was thinking wildly, there was a sudden sound of soft footsteps outside the door.

His ears moved, and he immediately looked away, straightening his waist.

Immediately afterwards, with lowered eyes, Zheng Ping saw a crimson figure embroidered with gold thread slowly slipping past in front of him. The hem of the skirt dragging the floor, like ripples in the lake, rippled on the ground in circles, moving with the footsteps , the red microwave directly extended towards the main seat.

Behind the crimson figure, there were four or five blue figures following, but their footsteps were far less calm than the former.

Come, Mrs. Qi is here!
The strings in Zheng Ping's heart tensed instantly, he concentrated all his attention, and tried to respond to Mrs. Qi Guo with the best state.

After a sound of rubbing clothes, a gentle but upright female voice came from the seat not far away: "Is this the Nineteenth Lang of the Zheng family?"

Zheng Ping hurriedly saluted, and said: "Son Zheng Ping, I have met Mrs. Qi!"

"Hehe, you are the grandnephew of my aunt, so we are also relatives,"

Xiao Nan smiled slightly, and said politely: "Since I'm a relative, I'm not an outsider, so there's no need to be polite, just call me cousin!"

The big snake Zheng Ping put on the stick, immediately changed his words, and saluted again: "Biao Aunt!"

Xiao Nan nodded in satisfaction, and then deliberately said in a relaxed tone: "Hehe, good boy, come and raise your head, let my cousin take a good look at it. My aunt has praised you a lot."

Zheng Ping felt that there was something for him, so he raised his head pretending to be shy, glanced at the woman in scarlet clothes who was sitting in the main seat, and then hurriedly lowered his head again.

Just looking at his series of actions, if someone who is not familiar with him sees him, he will definitely think that he is a shy, quiet and good boy.

But Xiao Nan was different, as early as that day after the eldest lady proposed the marriage, she ordered people to investigate Zheng Ping's situation in detail.

The people Xiao Nan sent were very capable, and they investigated Zheng Ping up and down with their pervasive skills comparable to the paparazzi of later generations.

From the first day he was born, until now.

Just yesterday evening, the person in charge of follow-up sent back a message saying that Zheng Shijiu was eating wine and commenting on poems at a restaurant opened by Hu Shang with a group of scholars who came to Beijing to rush for the exam.

Xiao Nan stared fixedly at the young man pretending to be a quail in front of him, and sneered secretly: Hmph, I really can't see it, just such a brat, he still behaves like an adult to make fun of Orchid.

I still remember that when I heard what Zheng Ping said yesterday, Xiao Nan was almost so angry that he wanted to whip someone - damn the Zheng family boy, he wanted to marry her consonance, but the marriage has not yet been decided Well, he dared to spend time and drink.

What's more, this bastard is only 13 years old this year, and he will be a junior high school student in his next life. How dare he 'prostitute' at such a young age? !

Such a person dares to dream of marrying her precious daughter, what a daydream!
The more Xiao Nan thought about it, the angrier he became. However, coming to the door is a guest, and besides, she still wants to observe Zheng Ping in person, so it's really hard for her to turn her face at this moment.

"Well, what a charming little Yulang,"

The corners of Xiao Nan's lips curled up, he said something against his will, and praised Zheng Ping a few words one after another.

Then, she changed the subject and asked, "By the way, I heard that you are studying at Zheng's family. What are you studying now?"

Zheng Ping's smile faltered, and he said a little shyly: "My son is reading "Spring and Autumn."

Xiao Nan raised his eyebrows, and was about to ask a few questions to test him.

No, Zheng Ping seemed to have seen Xiao Nan's plan, and hurriedly added, "It's a pity that I'm stupid. After reading these days, there are many questions that I can't understand. I heard that my cousins ​​are all learned people. So I came here to ask for advice, and please don’t dislike my stupidity.”

Xiao Nan choked for a moment, and looked at Zheng Ping with a little more complicated eyes: Hey, don't talk about it, this kid is still a bit clever, no wonder he was favored by Da Furen.

You must know that the five generations of Zheng's family did not have any family separation. There are about twenty males in the family who are of the same generation as Lingxi. Zheng Ping is nineteenth, but he is not the youngest. Being able to stand out shows that he is smart.

Like all aristocratic families, the Zheng family is very prosperous.

But there are advantages and disadvantages. The prosperity of the family is the foundation of the prosperity of the family, but the Zheng family has so many resources, which are not enough for so many children to distribute. Therefore, the resources falling on each person are pitifully small.

This point is first reflected in the housing. I heard that in the Zheng family, even the grandson of the eldest son can only be allocated a small courtyard, while many other cousins ​​share the same courtyard with three or four young men. As for the bastard and so on , is even more pitiful.

Zheng Ping is good-looking and sweet-mouthed, and is very popular with the elders. Even so, he was not able to get into an independent courtyard, and still lives in a narrow courtyard with his brother Shiliulang who is about to get married.

And this is also the reason why the Zheng family is eager to marry the Cui family—the Cui family is rich, Cui Youbo inherits all the property of Rongshoutang, and Mrs. Qi is recognized as the most profitable lady in the capital. The eldest daughter of Shoutang, the richness of her dowry can be known with her toes.

It is no exaggeration to say that Lingxi's dowry alone is enough to support the entire Zheng family.

Thinking that Cui Lingxi could bring a dowry of incomparable wealth after passing through the door, Zheng Ping's petite heart almost jumped out, and when he secretly looked around the main hall again, his eyes shone brightly.

However, the young boy knows how to pretend, he suppressed the longing in his heart, and turned his gaze back, pretending to be a calm and elegant scholar, with his head half down, and continued to listen to his elders' instruction.

Zheng Ping thought he was covering it up very well, but he forgot, how old is he, a kid in his teens, how can he hide from a woman who has lived three lifetimes? !

Not to mention, this woman has been scanning him repeatedly with a radar-like gaze, never missing the slightest change in expression.

Seeing the light in Zheng Ping's eyes, Xiao Nan's impression of him was even worse: the furnishings in the main hall were all arranged by her personally, and she knew exactly how many treasures and tributes there were.If Zheng Ping could appreciate it generously, she would actually admire it a little bit, but he was clearly envious in his heart, but deliberately pretended not to care——

Humph, a hypocrite!
Xiao Nan hates this kind of people the most. Although both villains and hypocrites are disgusting, she hates hypocrites even more.

Coupled with the information she had investigated before, Xiao Nan directly rejected Zheng Ping completely.

However, Xiao Nan is better than Zheng Ping, even though she hates him very much at the moment, she still chatted with him with a smile, and continued the topic just now, she said: "Nineteen Lang is too modest, the Zheng family's poems and books are heirs, There are several great Confucian scholars sitting in the Zheng family school, no matter which one, they are much better than this woman like me—”

Hearing the polite refusal in Xiao Nan's words, Zheng Ping looked a little flustered, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Madam is too modest, who doesn't know the origin of Madam's family, grandfather and father are famous people in the world... and now he is the principal of Jiwei College , if the boy can get his wife to give him some pointers, he will definitely benefit a lot... The boy is dedicated to learning, so please let my wife help me!"

Well, this guy is still attached, but Xiao Nan can't just kick out a child who is 'one hearted to learn'.After all, she is the principal and wife of Jiwei College. As a teacher, she really can't refuse a positive and enterprising 'good boy'.

But, but she really doesn't want to. Keeping such a bad boy with bad intentions at home, wouldn't it be leading wolves into the house...
