Outside Zheng Mansion in Chang'an!

Cheng Cui stood at the door for a long time, and finally took a deep breath and asked the servant to call the door.

Cui sent a message to him in advance, and Zheng Renji also gave instructions in advance, and the concierge directly invited Cui into the lobby.

Just a moment after Cui sat down, Zheng Renji stepped into the lobby through the side door. In just over the years, Zheng Renji seemed to have been ten years old, with some white hair on his temples and a little wrinkles on his eyes and forehead.

"Mrs. Cheng!"

The Cheng and Zheng families were relatively close, and Cui Zheng was in unison again, and Zheng Renji greeted Cui enthusiastically.

Cui smiled and replied with a gift, and looked at Zheng Renji a little.

Although Zheng Renji seemed a little old and had a much better spirit than last time he met. Although Zheng Liwan's disappearance had a great impact on Zheng Renji, and he even buried himself in family affairs to escape, time is the best healing medicine. Days passed day by day, and Zheng Renji finally walked out of sadness and faced a new life under the comfort of time.

Because Zheng Renji had Luo Shixin, the son-in-law, promoted him to manager, now that this accident happened, the Zheng family did not remove Zheng Renji. First, the position of manager is not to withdraw as soon as possible, but second, Zheng Renji is honest and steady, very suitable for managing accounts, and is indeed a talent.

Because he was obsessed with family matters, Zheng Renji's tricks showed were recognized by the Zheng family.

Life is on the right track and life is still good. However, in your spare time, you will also think of your daughter who "died young" with a bit of sadness and nostalgia.

"Actually, I have a reluctance to ask today." Cui looked at Jung In-ki. It was a little difficult to say, but she still said it.

Zheng Renji smiled and said, "Mrs. Cheng, but it's okay."

Cui sighed and said, "Is Li Wan's funeral ready?"

Zheng Renji's expression was stiff, but it slowed down within a moment. After more than a year, he had accepted this fact in his heart and whispered: "Mrs. Cheng came for Shixin, right?"

Cui nodded, and she also knew that mentioning such a thing was equivalent to spreading salt on Zheng Renji's wound, but as the eldest sister-in-law, she also had the obligation to consider the future of her younger brother. She said awkwardly: "This is the family business of the Zheng family. Logically speaking, I, an outsider, should not interrupt. But my little brother is really a real person and straightforward. One day I am not sure that Li Wan died, I am afraid that I will not think of remarrying again. Unfiliality is the greatest thing for the three no queens. The Luo family is his lineage, but they have no queens yet. Calculate the age. After this year, he is twenty-three. It's twenty-three. According to the "Tang Law", at his age, the local chief and his ministers have to force him to match him and force him to marry him. My old Cheng is at his age, and the children have started to study in school. It's not a big deal, do you think?"

The Tang Dynasty Law records that the man is twenty years old and the woman is fifteen years old. After the wife is mourned, the widow's family has been eliminated and must be divorced. If the parents insist on not marrying, local officials have the right to be a matchmaker to the man and woman and force marriage.

There is this regulation only because of backward technology in ancient times, one person has more taxes and one labor force. Throughout history, there have been such laws and regulations on forced marriages in all dynasties. Especially in dynasties with a short population, they have been dealing with more stringently with such matters.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the population of the world dropped by three quarters, and the productivity was low. The Tang Dynasty naturally imposed strict controls on the marriage regulations.

Luo Shixin was because he was in a high position, but no one cared about his disobedience to the marriage rules. If it were ordinary people, local officials had already come to the door and forced the marriage.

Zheng Renji listened silently and nodded for a moment, "I understand. I will handle Wan'er's funeral soon. When Shi Xin comes to ask, I will tell him, and he said that he has found Wan'er's jewelry and is sure that she has really passed away." As he said that, he couldn't help but sigh with sadness.

Zheng Renji responded so simply that he was a little beyond Cui's expectations, so he didn't know how to speak.

Seeing Cui was a little surprised, Zheng Renji smiled and said, "Mrs. Cheng, don't be surprised. Shi Xin is indeed a good child. Although he is a bit rude and despised etiquette, I can't see him like a stubborn person. But he is not bad and is sincere to Wan'er. I like this child very much, but Wan'er's life is miserable and he has not been able to truly become the wife of the Luo family. It's been one year since Wan'er lived, there should have been news. I can't delay him for the little bit of expectations in my heart, so I decided like this."

Cui did not expect that Luo Shixin would be recognized by Zheng Renji, and said happily: "It's great that Mr. Zheng can think so."

Almost at the same time, Li Yuan in the palace received a letter from Pingyang from Nanyang.

Pingyang was meticulous and did not have any big books in the letter, but directly explained that she and Luo Shixin went to Funiu Mountain to hunt. When she came back, she met Liu Chen and Liu Bao's brothers. Liu Chen. Liu Bao saw that he was beautiful and rude, and even intended to kill Luo Shixin to silence her and capture her and insult her.

Li Yuan's lungs were so angry that he was furious when he saw this. Pingyang was her favorite child. In the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang officials dared to attack her. He was so angry that his beard stood up and became furious. His hands with the letter began to tremble. He muttered to himself: "I must remove Liu Chen and Liu Bao from a big deal. No, no, my son will not teach his parents the fault. Raising such a child is also a crime. Their son may not be a good person. They will kill them all, and they will kill them together."

As a father who protects his calf, he has absolutely no mercy to those who endanger his son and daughter.

He continued to watch with patience. Seeing Luo Shixin killing Liu Bao, Pingyang took over Liu Chen. In order not to cause panic and reveal his identity, he replaced Liu Chen's position with Fangcheng County Magistrate. He asked for his opinions or changed another capable person to take over Fangcheng. He felt relieved. There was no change in Pingyang's arrangement. He immediately waved his pen and promoted the county Magistrate to the official prefect.

After doing all this, Li Yuan strode his beard and thought to himself: "It turns out that Pingyang ran to Nanyang, no wonder there was no trace..."

etc!

wrong!

Li Yuan suddenly remembered that he had received a message from Pingyang two days ago saying that he was having a great time in Weishui, how could he be in Nanyang?

Or?

It turned out that Pingyang told Li Yuan that he would go out to relax. In order to prevent Li Yuan from getting information for a long time, he was eager to make a big fuss about Guanzhong, and made complete preparations. He arranged for his confidant to report his whereabouts to Li Yuan, and said as he traveled and heard about it.

In the eight hundred miles of Guanzhong, Pingyang has lived in Pingyang for nearly ten years and has never been there. He is naturally very knowledgeable when he writes it.

Li Yuan felt that his daughter was having fun and was happy, so he did not let her come back and let her relax and play so as not to ruin her interest.

But now that the two messages are mixed together, Li Yuan is not a fool, how can he not notice the trick?

There are two messages, one is the same as the story, the other is the emergencies. Whichever is true or the false is false, and what is still necessary to be investigated.

Li Yuan closed his eyes and pondered, recalling what happened a few months ago. Shortly after he agreed to go out to relax in Pingyang, Li Shimin reported to him about Luo Shixin's request for leave. The two of them were one after another, but he didn't notice it at the beginning. Now when he thought about it carefully, there were indeed many tricks and there were big problems.

As he thought about it, Li Yuan had a bad smile on his old face, and he was about to seek guilt.

************

Daoyuan Island.

Zheng Liwan stood in a daze on the big reef near the island, looking at the distant West, just like looking at her husband's stone, with a faint sadness on her face.

Because the injury was too serious, the wound cut the rusted iron nails, and the rust immersed in the skin and soaked in the Yellow River water for many days. Various bacteria entered the body, and the wound became extremely inflamed. Although it had not reached the point of death of tetanus, it was not much worse. In the initial rectification, the doctor even proposed to save his life by sawing his legs to ensure that he had everything.

However, this method was rejected by Zhang Zhongjian, a bearded guest, and healed it in another way. It took half a year to recover and recover. He was recuperating until two months ago.

Although I am homesick and miss my father and lover far away in the sky, Zheng Liwan, who is far away from the Central Plains, did not say that she would return to the Central Plains after returning to the Central Plains. It takes a long sea voyage from Daoyuan Island to Dengzhou Port in Shandong. It takes a long sea voyage to withstand the wind and waves. It also requires a sea boat that can withstand the wind and waves to choose to go out to sea in a season without wind and less wind.

Because the conditions and environment are relatively harsh, there is only one sea boat on Daoyuan Island that can withstand the wind and waves.

The only sea boat was four months ago. When she had not recovered from illness, she went out to sea through Wu Shike and returned to the Central Plains to take revenge. She didn't know what happened, and she has not come back until today without any news.

Now Zheng Liwan comes to this big reef every day to look at it for a long time, hoping to see the sea boat come back, hope to return to the Central Plains one day earlier to complete the unstarted wedding, and even hope that Luo Shixin can take the sea boat to pick her up on Daoyuan Island.

Although I knew that the hope was slim, I still couldn't help thinking.

"Sister Liwan, the king is asking you to come over!"

Zheng Liwan suddenly heard someone calling on the shore. Seeing that it was the bell that had been taking care of her, she responded, walked down the reef reluctantly, and walked down the reef on the shore with the waves.

"What did the bearded uncle tell me to do?" Zheng Liwan said intimately, but she was full of slander in her heart, scolding the bearded guest. Although he saved her, she trapped her on an isolated island overseas and was not allowed to meet her father and lover. She felt grateful and resentful towards him.

"It seems that there is a Silla ship going to the Central Plains, the king..." Before Ling'er finished speaking, Zheng Liwan's figure was gone.

She was like a sprinter, instantly disappeared from Ling'er's vision. Ling'er stuck out her tongue and trotted and chased after her.

"Uncle bearded, can I go home?" Zheng Liwan saw Zhang Zhongjian shouting loudly from a distance.
