Chapter 572 try again

Ning County
The Liu family was full of joy, and Liu Bengeng got up without the chicken crowing. He was very satisfied when he saw the master slaughtering fish, killing chickens, cooking meat, and frying balls in the reed shed, and shouted: "Let's go, let's go to the Zeng's next door together." Send it, don't neglect it."

Liu Bengeng didn't count what he said, and personally led someone to pick out the food box.

"Master!" An old servant ran over a few steps and said, "I have a message for you—he is here!"

"Who?" Liu Bengeng trembled all over.

"Of course it's Zeng Nianzhen Zeng Hero that you never forget."

"Hurry up, pick up the food box, and bring over the wine I hid." Liu Bengeng's voice trembled with excitement, and he stood up and urged.

This place is located in a ravine, even in the new dynasty, there are always bandits who are ignorant and even collude with the tenants.

Seven years ago, bandits wanted to "borrow" one hundred shi, and one hundred shi was [-] catties. If they were to say that they would go bankrupt and take it, they still had it, but how did they live these days?
It was Zeng Nianzhen who settled the matter.

Zeng Mansion is not far away, just next door, there is a spacious courtyard with five main rooms, five rooms in the west wing and five rooms in the east wing.

Three tables of banquets were set up in the hall. More than [-] people sat at three tables, and everyone drank and chatted together.

As soon as Liu Bengeng entered, he bowed to the person at the table: "I'm greeting Zeng Daxia."

Zeng Nianzhen quickly got up to help him, and smiled: "Don't dare, dare not, you are an elder, I can accept the gift safely."

After being invited to take a seat, he saw that the two tables were young and strong, he knew in his heart that this was Zeng Nianzhen's "brother", but there was a woman in the middle table, when he saw it, his expression changed.

This is Ding Xiu, the daughter-in-law's older sister.

"Toast to elder brother and elder sister." Someone got up to toast. The brothers present all knew that something happened in the Eastern Palace. Change of heart.

Now they finally saw this woman with their own eyes, and found that Axiu was 26 and seven years old. Because she was still a girl, she didn't dress up as a woman, so she looked young. The eyes from time to time made these brothers feel happy for Zeng Nianzhen.

He went to rescue people when he heard the news, and rescued his "sister-in-law" and brought him to Ning County. This shows that Zeng Nianzhen forgot his old love.

Zeng Nianzhen looked at the brothers at the two tables. He was sitting at the table with Axiu's younger sister and brother-in-law. They both knew each other. He met Axiu's eyes. He no longer hesitated, and suddenly raised his glass: "Everyone, give me face and come to meet , I just cut to the chase, I have been wandering for more than ten years, thinking about the experience of these years, I think it should be settled."

"Ning County is a good place, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, outstanding people, and far away from the right and wrong of the capital... I have already bought this courtyard here, and I plan to buy dozens of acres of fertile land, set up a martial arts gym, and teach students on a daily basis, which can be regarded as a living .”

As soon as these words came out, all the people present immediately understood that Zeng Nianzhen meant to settle down.

The brothers at the same table all had a very good relationship with Zeng Nianzhen, and they raised their glasses directly. One of them said, "Brother Zeng, it's good if you think so! Why don't you live your life? It's life in the wind and rain. Settling down in a small county town means living a peaceful life! Come on, I’ve made this bowl for you to figure it out!”

"Exactly! At your age, it's time to marry a wife and have a baby. Do this for the fat baby in the future!"

Zeng Nianzhen wasn't angry, and when he glanced away, Axiu lowered her head and blushed quietly.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door suddenly and asked, "Is Big Brother Zeng here?"

"Yo, it's Lao Ba!"

When someone heard this voice, they clapped their hands and laughed: "Just now I mentioned Lao Ba and said that he was missing today. I didn't expect him to come back at this time!"

Someone hurriedly got up to open the door. As soon as the door opened, a dusty man came in from the outside and strode into the hall. Seeing two tables of people sitting in the hall, he was immediately happy.

"I just arrived in Ning County, and I was starving. I didn't expect to catch up with the dinner!"

As he said that, he was not polite, he moved a chair from the side, and sat at Zeng Nianzhen's table.

Axiu got up and went to get him chopsticks and a bowl, and brought him a hot staple food. The man thanked his "sister-in-law" and started eating with wine and meat. It seemed that he was very hungry.

After eating two steamed buns, drinking another bowl of wine, and eating half a bowl of meat, the man suddenly thought of something and slapped his head: "By the way, I almost forgot about this!"

As he said that, he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Zeng Nianzhen: "This is the letter I met Chen Mazi before, and he gave it to me. It is a letter from Mr. Cen to you."

The Chen Mazi he mentioned was a steward of the caravan, and he had a very good friendship with them. Because he followed the caravan, he would often bring them some letters that were not easy to send through the post station.

"I don't know what's going on, but I'm going to retire." Zeng Nianzhen took the letter with a smile, opened it, and immediately his expression changed.

"Wow!"

Sui Zeng Nian stood up suddenly, the wine bowl in front of him was tilted, the wine dripped down the table, and the overturned dishes splashed all over the place.

Axiu was taken aback, seeing Zeng Nianzhen standing up and looking at the letter change color, her heart sank instantly.

Over the past ten years, she has been constantly hopeful and disappointed. Today, when Zeng Nianzhen said that she wants to settle down and live a good life, Axiu herself has a feeling of unreality. Now at this moment, the feeling of unreality has turned into ominous.

The atmosphere changed instantly, and the friends who were joking, laughing, eating meat and drinking were all stunned.

They all looked at Zeng Nianzhen who stood up, and saw him struggling to hold onto the letter, his body was constantly shaking, so they didn't dare to make any movement for a moment.

After a long time, Zeng Nianzhen slowly raised his head, glanced around the crowd, and his eyes fell on the woman who was staring at him with red eye circles.

"Sorry." He gritted his teeth and said.

After speaking, he ran out directly.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became extremely cold, and everyone looked at the woman who was stunned.

The woman who was abandoned again was stunned for a moment, then suddenly ran out.

"Zeng Nianzhen, stop!" the woman shouted.

But the man had already passed by the door with an ox cart, and soon disappeared on the street.

This time, he didn't even say a word, and just left.

Standing on the side of the road, looking at the ox cart going away, the woman stood blankly, tears streaming down her face unconsciously.

This time, he walked so fast, what was the matter, and he left without even having time to explain to her?
"Sister!" A woman who combed women's hair in a bun also ran out of the courtyard at this time, saw Axiu standing by the roadside, her face was pale, and couldn't help but pulled her with distress, and asked, "Sister, have you waited?" He has been like this for many years, what should he do now? Still have to wait?"

"Look, just read a letter, and immediately abandoned you and everything, even the guests, and just left. Do you still want to waste your time for him?"

"I have two children, but you are still alone! If you wait like this, you will be completely ruined!"

Axiu didn't speak, her eyes dimmed, and it took a long time before she said softly: "Then try again."

If trying again doesn't work, she can give up.
