After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

Zheng Zejiu actually had no desire to argue, but he was busy with work and it was rare for him to stay at home with his mother for a few days, so he was very accommodating!

There are mostly female generals in the mansion. In addition to the mother, there are also the second aunt, the third aunt, and the fourth aunt who are widowed at home!

The three aunts were widowed at a young age. The second aunt and the third aunt at least have daughters, but the fourth aunt is all alone!

The three aunts are also descendants of military families, so they are all straightforward and their likes and dislikes are revealed on their faces. But if they like someone, they will get along with them with all their hearts!

When the two arrived at the front hall, they saw several aunts wearing casual clothes. Their hair was tied up in a simple bun like the eldest sister-in-law, and pinned up with gold or silver hairpins. They looked very neat!

"Oh my, why do I see a huge marionette jumping towards me? Quick, quick, that guy... go and hold it up, make sure it doesn't go off the track... ha ha ha ha..."

Second Aunt Li was so happy while talking, Third Aunt Wang and Fourth Aunt Qiao also joked:

"Oh my... I've really broadened my horizons... This is the first time our young master has dressed like this..."

"…If our Zi Pei was here, she would probably paint a vivid portrait of her brother!…Hehe…"

Zheng Zejiu was helpless and sat down expressionlessly. The whole yard was filled with female soldiers and he was the only male in his family. The Duke's Mansion was dwindling in population and he would be given special attention as soon as he came back!

Li Tongfu was a frequent visitor here, so he was not surprised by the behavior of these aunts and would even joke along with them!

There were only four women and two youngsters in the house, so there was no need to avoid each other and they just sat at the same table!

A total of eight dishes, four soups, and angelica wine were served!

Maybe it has something to do with having been on the battlefield, I’m used to eating faster!

The food here is served quickly and eaten quickly. In less than half an hour, everyone cleared the table and sat together to talk!

Zheng Zejiu didn't expect that when he first arrived, everyone's jokes were just appetizers, and now the main course has begun!

Then I heard my mother chatting with Li Tongfu, from the health of their parents to whether they had any troubles on duty, and unknowingly turned the topic to the noble lady in Kyoto!

The girl from the Li family is pretty and charming, the girl from the Wang family is straightforward, and the girl from the Zhang family is gentle and generous. After this chat, the two of them realized that if they continued the conversation, they might not be able to extricate themselves!

Just when he was about to play it safe, he saw the Duke's wife sitting in the hall, looking at the two of them with a smile, and her smile revealed some calculations!

The three aunts were sitting around them with their arms and legs spread out, which made the two of them frightened!

"My dear boy Meijian, your mother came here a few days ago and asked your aunt and your sisters-in-law to help you find a daughter from a good family. You are already twenty-two years old. Children of your age are four or five years old!"

"If you don't get married soon, your mother might ask the imperial physician to see you, but I'm afraid you're afraid of seeing a doctor!"

No matter how thick-skinned Li Tongfu was, his neck turned red and veins bulged after hearing what his elders said!

"Auntie... Aunts, I know you all mean well..."

"It's just that there aren't many good ones in Kyoto. The good ones are either married or engaged!"

"Can you bear to let your nephew live with someone who looks kind but is actually evil? Wouldn't that just break up the family?"

Second Aunt Li stared at Li Tongfu for a long while before saying:

"Boy, do you already have someone you like? If so, tell us and let your aunt and mother go find someone to propose marriage to you. Don't delay the girl's marriage!"

Li Tongfu paused for a moment, then returned to his usual self and said:

"Aunt and sisters-in-law, please forgive me. If I have any news, I will tell you the first time!"

Several aunts wanted to say more, but Yang Zhongxiu had already seen the clue and signaled everyone to stop persuading them!

Zheng Zejiu was watching a play when he suddenly felt his scalp tighten. He saw his mother and aunt staring at him like wolves. He coughed out:

"Meijian, I have something important to discuss with you. Let's go back and talk about it!"

However, instead of clearing up the encirclement, there was a slight tendency for it to shrink!

Mother Zheng complained: "Ren'er, tell me honestly, when can I see my daughter-in-law and hold my grandson?"

Young Master Zheng's name is Huiren, and his courtesy name is Zejiu. He felt a little uncomfortable when asked by his mother so directly!

After having fought in the battlefields with his father for several years, he returned to Beijing and relied on his own iron-blooded tactics to become the head of the Jinyiwei. Now that he could not turn back, he no longer demanded to get married and have children!

Although this Jinyiwei seems to be extremely powerful, he is just a sharp blade in the emperor's hand!

I don’t know how many people I have offended openly or secretly, and I don’t know how many people are gritting their teeth and want to get rid of me as soon as possible!

If any girl followed me, wouldn't it be obvious that I would make her a widow!

Since the position of Jinyiwei commander came into being, I have never heard of anyone being able to step down safely!

Seeing his son's deep eyes, Yang Zhongxiu knew that there would be no further results. He sighed in his heart but smiled happily on his face!

"Forget it, you are still young, just have fun first. If you are delayed in two years, don't blame the elders for not worrying about you!"

The women stepped aside carelessly:

"Since we have something important to discuss, don't waste time. Let's go back and discuss it. Let's go play mahjong!"

Zheng Zejiu knew that it was his mother and aunts who spoiled him. Although they would urge him to get married whenever they had the chance, they never forced him!

I also know that although they are eager for me to leave a descendant for the Duke's Mansion, they also know their own limitations and will never do anything to embarrass me!

When they arrived at the study, they both remained silent for a long while!

Li Tongfu couldn't help himself:

"Why don't you think about it carefully? The Duke of Wei's Mansion cannot be cut off from your generation. If you are afraid... after the child is born, you can send someone to escort him away far away..."

"...Hehe...a person like me with blood on his hands should not harm other girls..."

The two said no more and started talking about other things. Li Tongfu suddenly remembered what Xie Xuanping, the son of Marquis Changning, had asked him to do, so he brought it up!

"...I originally thought that this family's behavior was too ugly, so I pushed them away. But if we push them away, they will find someone else. It's better to get some benefits..."

"I know you still have some remaining soldiers, and the expenses are quite high... Let this old man give you a few thousand yuan as a gift, and you won't have to worry about this for the next two or three years!"

"It's a pity that the gang is so greedy and doesn't know how to restrain themselves. If that person gets angry, I don't know which families will cry!"

Zheng Zejiu said:

"The national treasury has been getting increasingly empty over the years. Although that king is considered a benevolent ruler, he has been engaged in wars year after year and sometimes can't even raise enough money to pay the soldiers!"

"The Ministry of Revenue says they don't have money, and everyone is poor. If we search these people's homes now, who wouldn't be extremely wealthy?"

"On the battlefield, the soldiers fought for their country with all their blood, but when they retired, they were either missing an arm or a leg, and the pensions were not paid in time. Even if they returned to their hometown, they could not support themselves..."

"I can only help a little bit now..."

Zheng Zejiu suddenly thought of something and tapped the table in front of him with his exposed left middle finger:

"Then Xie Xuanping... ask him to meet me at Shiyunxuan at noon three days later..."

"good!……"

The two chatted about other things before Li Tongfu left the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion!

Zheng Zejiu stood beside the desk as still as a stone statue, and recalled the conversation between the master and servant that night:

"I just think that Master's two eyes are probably just for decoration!"
