Disastrous year!Before the whole family is wiped out, a little blessing falls from the sky!

Zheng Bingyi was helpless. He was stunned and confused.

Chen Ruiyang looked in from outside the door and asked in a low voice, "Dad, did you and your uncle quarrel? Are you not going to Beijing with me?"

Zheng Bingyi walked over and said nonchalantly, "Of course I'm going to Beijing. Just wait, dad will think about it again."

After saying that, he wandered out of the farm, followed by his entourage. He couldn't stop his master no matter how much he called him, but he couldn't let him walk outside in his middle coat. He could only pretend to be brave and pull him into the car, and then wrap him up. Put on the coat.

When Zheng Bingyi came back to his senses, he somehow ended up in the courtyard of the Yamen where he usually went to work.

He looked down at himself and looked a little embarrassed. He turned around and was about to leave, but by chance, a clerk was pouring cold tea through the window, and not a drop was poured on his head.

Zheng Bingyi was so shocked that he reached out and picked two tea leaves from his head and his face turned dark.

The clerk quickly ran out of the room and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zheng, I didn't see you coming for a while! Haha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Zheng Bingyi wanted to curse, but remembered that this person was a junior official of Shangguan, so he reluctantly endured it.

"It's okay, pay attention next time!" After that, he waved his hand and left.

The clerk breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the room.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Bingyi was blown cold by the wind and wanted to go back to the check-in room to change into spare clothes. He turned around and walked back to the window, just in time to hear the clerk talking to the clerk making tea in the room.

The tea-making clerk said in a low voice, "Why didn't you be more careful and splash Mr. Zheng's head? If he gets angry, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you in the future!"

The little official who poured the tea said nonchalantly, "Oh, what are you afraid of! I didn't mean to do it on purpose. Besides, our lord is his boss. He wants to kneel down and lick our lord's toes every day. How dare he offend me!"

"That's true," the tea-making clerk also said with a smile, "No one looks down on this kind of person. If I could help him get promoted, I would be willing to step on his face all day long."

The tea-server snorted disdainfully, "Is he dreaming that he still wants to be promoted? It would be great if he can keep his current job! We adults particularly hate him, saying that he stopped his wife and remarried, which is ruthless and unjust! And his father-in-law is also dead. No one will be able to rely on him anymore, and he is even more useless."

"Haha, who knows, maybe in a few months, we won't have to look at his bitter face anymore!"

"Yes, yes!"

The two of them were talking lively, unaware that Zheng Bingyi outside the window was already going crazy.

The entourage wanted to go in to argue, but Zheng Bingyi turned around and left.

The attendant looked at his master's face and wanted to ask if he was going home, but Zheng Bingyi went directly to the shopping street and bought a box of good rouge and gouache, a pair of silver hairpins with exquisite colors, and two pieces of good silk and satin, for a total of three dollars. More than ten taels of silver.

"Send it to the Cui family and give it to Madam. Just tell her that I have been busy with official duties recently and let her stay at her parents' house for a few more days." Zheng Bingyi gave the entourage a few pieces of broken silver and asked, "I remember that the Cui family is going to the village recently. , secretly ask for the specific date and tell me when you come back!"

"Yes, yes, sir!" The entourage quickly took the things to Cui's house.

In the backyard of the Cui family, Mrs. Cui brought snacks with her maid. As soon as she entered her mother-in-law's yard, she saw her sister-in-law sitting next to her mother-in-law with a proud smile, and she couldn't help snoring in her heart. Needless to say, this shabby house is experiencing another storm, and I wonder what good things will be taken away from my mother-in-law's warehouse this time.

Thinking of her thirteen-year-old daughter, she gritted her teeth in hatred. The old lady is just confused. She doesn't leave anything good for her granddaughter as a dowry, but always subsidizes her daughter who got married long ago!

She smiled and stepped forward, placed the snacks in front of her mother-in-law, and said, "Mom, I just baked some snacks, you can try them."

After saying that, she turned to her sister-in-law and said in a fake joke, "My sister is asking for something good from my mother again? It's great for me to have you as my daughter. There are no more rats in the warehouse!"

Mrs. Cui knew that her sister-in-law was mocking her. In the past, she would have felt a little guilty, but this time she was unusually tough. She retorted, "Sister-in-law, don't be so short-sighted. It seems that I always take advantage of my mother's good things. And then I don’t know how to honor my mother! You must know that my father has passed away, my eldest brother is useless, and now only my father has a bright future. I took some things back, and my father gave them to Shangguan. If he gets promoted in the future, our family’s benefits will definitely be indispensable. Ah. Besides, I’m not a person who never comes back, so don’t underestimate me!”

Then, she turned her head and motioned to the maid to bring something up, and heartily gave a piece of brightly colored silk to her sister-in-law.

"My master just sent this. This piece of silk is for my niece to make a new dress, and the other piece is for my mother. As for the rouge, gouache and hairpin, our master specially selected them for me, so I won't share them with my sister-in-law."

Mrs. Cui is really surprised. My sister-in-law has always been a Pixiu girl. She can only go in and out. Is it raining red in the sky today? My sister-in-law has changed her gender?

Perhaps her expression was too exaggerated, Cui coughed twice and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't want it? Then I'll take it back?"

"No, no!" Mrs. Cui quickly threw the silk satin into the maid's arms and said with a smile, "It's rare for an aunt like you to make a new dress for my niece. I can't stop her in any way. I just don't know if my brother-in-law has anything. What a happy event, why are you so generous and specially sent something here?"

Of course Ms. Cui didn't know, but she said something tough, pretended to be proud and touched her temples, and replied, "He has been walking around frequently with Shangguan in the past few days. He must be getting promoted, right? I won't ask more about the man's affairs outside." .I don’t have the skills of a sister-in-law, so I can’t help!”

When Mrs. Cui heard about promotion, she didn't care about her sister-in-law's yin and yang. She controlled the man strictly and flattered her with a smile, "Oh, this is a good thing! Let's go to Zhuangzi in three days. Then invite my brother-in-law to come and drink and enjoy the scenery?"

"We'll talk about it then, he's busy!" Mrs. Cui raised her chin, opened the box, and showed off her rouge, gouache, and hairpin with her.

Mrs. Cui was naturally happy that her daughter was favored, and Mrs. Cui also wanted to make friends with her. She sat next to her and praised her endlessly.

The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and the backyard of the Cui family became very lively for a while.

In the front yard, after the Zheng family's entourage delivered the things, they went to the tavern to have dinner with the familiar steward of the Cui family. The two of them met every day, and they naturally talked about everything while eating and drinking, without any precautions.

Soon, the entourage found out the information he wanted to know, and then returned to resume his life.

That night, in Zheng Bingyi's study, the candle light was on for half the night and was not extinguished.

The servant dare not sleep. He is waiting outside, listening to his master's call at any time.

There were sighs, bangs on the table, and angry growls in the room. It was quiet until late at night. At dawn, the study door opened with a creak.

The entourage who was lying on the floor and taking a nap was alert. When he got up, he saw his master standing in front of him with red eyes. He was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.

"Old...Master?!" (End of Chapter)
