Zheng Shi smiled and stroked Qin Yining's forehead with thin fingers.
She could not have imagined that she would be able to meet Qin Yining again this time, nor did she expect that Qin Yining would treat her with such care, that in order to rescue her, she would make such a big fuss.
She asked herself whether she was good to Qin Yining. This child was lonely since childhood and had no fate to be with her biological parents. Even if she returned home and faced people who were close relatives, they were strangers they met for the first time. Is such a personality.
She knew that the Sun family was not good enough for Qin Yining. And what about her? The relationship with Qin Yining is not as deep as it is after meeting.
Even after the incident at Dingguo Gongfu, Zheng's heart was full of hatred. She wanted to take revenge and wanted to go crazy. She had used Qin Yining before, and finally threw a mess like the Qingtian League to her.
Although Qin Yining took over the Qingtian Alliance and had available people in his hands, Zheng Shi also knew that the group of Jianghu people were not so easy to play with, and the Qingtian Alliance was a double-edged sword.
She gave Qin Yining the position of the leader of the alliance, and gave her available subordinates, but in fact, she let herself go away, stopped interfering in these matters, cleaned up her family, and left the trouble to Qin Yining.
After the Zheng family settled down in the south with the daughters of the Sun family, Qin Yining took care of him secretly and secretly, and his life gradually got on the right track.
Whether it was when the Duke Dingguo's mansion was killed, Qin Yining was not afraid of getting burned, and stepped forward to help the Sun family's male son to collect the corpse, or Qin Yining's unrequited care for the Sun family's daughter-in-law's family, Zheng's family kept it in mind. Always thinking of looking for opportunities to repay this child.
Therefore, there is a cloth village opened in the old capital. It was only this time that she knew that Pang Xiao and Qin Yining had come with an order, so she immediately took the first step, thinking of helping her get through the relationship and clearing the obstacles.
It's a pity, she's old, and it's not a waste of time.
"It's my grandmother who is useless. She did a bad thing with good intentions. She wanted to help you, but she became more and more helpful." Zheng sighed helplessly as his thoughts turned.
Qin Yining shook her head hurriedly, took Zheng's hand and said, "Grandma, don't say that, we are a family, why should we care about those? By the way, because of the situation, he didn't even get married when I married the prince. Opportunity to greet you."
Qin Yining looked back at Pang Xiao, who had been standing at the door.
Pang Xiao immediately strode forward and gave Zheng a big salute according to Qin Yining's method. After kowtowing, he respectfully called out, "Grandma."
Zheng Shi looked at Pang Xiao, his eyes became extremely complicated, and he didn't respond for a long time.
Pang Xiao knelt on the spot, knowing that Zheng Shi would definitely have a heart for him, so he was not anxious, nor urged, so he just kneeled respectfully.
At the beginning of the war between the two countries, he was the vanguard of the attack on Dayan. In Xihuacheng and other places, he has played against Duke Dingguo.
Lao Ding Guogong and the generals of the Sun family are all strong men, and he greatly admires them.
It's just that the two sides have different positions and are in a hostile position. In addition, the sage had thought of such a bad move at the beginning. He insisted on saying that the queen mother wanted to eat some smart people's brains to control the head wind. Not only did it kill the great genius Sun Yu, The stunned Shunjun simply destroyed the Dingguo Gongfu. Even children of a few years old have not escaped the fate of beheading.
Although the soldiers are not tired of cheating, Pang Xiao still feels sorry for the son of the Sun family. He even secretly went to collect the body of the son of the Sun family, but he was taken one step ahead by the original sister Yi.
Of course, Mrs. Dingguo wouldn't know about his thoughts and his secret practices. In Zheng's eyes, Pang Xiao is probably just the culprit who killed the Sun family with Li Qitian, right
Pang Xiao thought about it this way, and even felt that Zheng Shi didn't have a big ear to slap him, it was already a good self-restraint.
Qin Yining looked at Pang Xiao, then at Zheng's, and called out nervously, "Grandma..."
Zheng Shi sighed helplessly and said, "Let's all get up, let's all sit down and talk."
Seeing Zheng Shi's expression as usual, Qin Yining breathed a sigh of relief, got up with Pang Xiao, and each sat on the edge of the bed with a tumbler.
Zheng Shi looked at Pang Xiao and said, "I actually hated you earlier."
Qin Yining frowned worriedly.
Pang Xiao also smiled helplessly and did not answer.
Zheng said: "However, with the passage of time, the sadness recedes a little, and when I can calm down and think, my hatred for you will not be so deep. Besides, you have become my grandson-in-law.
"In order to find Sister Yi, you even resisted thirty-three imperial decrees, and personally brought someone to Tartar to find her back. Not only did you not doubt her, but you were always so kind to her. Just looking at it a little bit, I thought you were a good boy."
Hearing what Zheng said, Qin Yining suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Pang Xiao was still smiling, waiting for Zheng's words.
"When Beiji State and Dayan were fighting, Sister Yi's father used a trick and indirectly killed your father. Although the death of General Pang was mainly due to the suspicion of the King of Northern Ji, but Sister Yi Her father really used a trick. Between you and her, there is a layer of father's hatred, but you can think about it, let go of the hatred, and treat her well.
"I've been wronged, I've been in debt, I've lived for a long time, why can't I think about it
"Although you are the vanguard of the attack on Dayan, you are also responsible for the death of the grandfather of the country and my children and grandchildren. But the main responsibility is not you, you are also obeying orders. To blame, the first to blame is the monarch and the demon queen. The father of the monster queen, Cao Guozhang.
"I've already avenged my revenge, and I've already seen it. Now I see that you are so kind to Sister Yi, and that Sister Yi also sincerely lives with you. Let the grudges of the past be put aside."
Pang Xiao and Qin Yining were both moved by Zheng's words.
It was rare for Mrs. Zheng to think so clearly. Qin Yining thought she would at least spend some time trying to persuade her, but she didn't expect the matter to be resolved so easily.
"Grandma, are you really thinking about it?" Qin Yining took Zheng's hand and shook it.
Zheng Shi sighed: "What can't you think about? The dead are gone, and the living will continue to live. For the sake of the dead, I have to hold on to those so-called hatreds forever, and then you will not be able to live with them. Peace? What’s more, I’m not an unreasonable person, so how can I anger him?”
Qin Yining's tears almost fell. She blinked her eyes hard, and then she held back the fierce tears, and took Zheng's hand and said, "Grandma, it's great that you can think about it."
Pang Xiao also stood up and swept the floor: "Grandma, thank you."
Zheng Shi laughed: "My own family, why do you need to thank me, do you think I'm the kind of stubborn and dead brain in your mind?"
"Of course not." Qin Yining hurriedly explained.
Zheng Shi smiled and tapped Qin Yining's forehead. Seeing that her granddaughter's face was full of sincere joy without any haze, she also saw that although Pang Xiao was standing aside, her warm and soft gaze was always on Qin Yining's body. Pampering and love are undisguised.
These two children have real feelings. They can find someone they really love when they are young, can form a family life together, and support each other. She is a grandmother, and she can have high expectations for her grandson-in-law. Woolen cloth
As soon as the words were spoken, the tense atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed.
Qin Yining smiled and talked to the Zheng family about Sun's side, as well as family affairs. Later, she ordered people to go to Haosheng to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. Today, she can finally have a reunion with her grandmother. She can't mention how excited she is.
Seeing that Qin Yining was happy like a child, Zheng Shi couldn't help laughing. The child was doing well, and her elder was relieved.
After laughing for a while, Zheng Shi suddenly remembered something, and said sternly: "Has the lord now mastered the control of the army?"
She had already heard people say that today it was Pang Xiao who brought soldiers and horses into the city to deter the victims, and at the same time forced Yang Zhifu to solve the civil unrest this time.
Pang Xiao nodded and said, "I have mastered it for the time being."
He calmly told Zheng Shi about the military situation he had told Qin Yining on the return trip.
Zheng Shi shook his head and said, "I have a piece of advice, I wonder if the lord can listen to me."
"Grandma, please speak." Pang Xiao said seriously.
Zheng's color is very serious, and he also said seriously: "This Pingnan Army, if the prince can not be contaminated, don't contaminate it, and try to hand over the power as much as possible."
Qin Yining blinked in surprise, and Pang Xiao didn't know why for a while.
Pang Xiao saluted respectfully: "I also ask my grandmother for advice."
Zheng Shi waved his hand and said, "You came to the old capital suddenly this time, and you still don't understand many things. Back then, when Da Zhou defeated Dayan, and after occupying the capital, he also arranged for a lowly official. , announced a ten-year exemption from local taxes.”
Pang Xiao nodded, "This is indeed the case."
"However, you all know that the treasury in the imperial court is empty. Today, we cannot afford to support so many soldiers and horses, but we still need to pacify the southern army to quell the situation in the south. Therefore, this team cannot be disbanded. Let the old capital solve the problem of food and salaries for the Pingnan Army on its own.
"But the people have been exempted from taxes for ten years, and there is no tax, what will the locals use to pay the Pingnan Army
"At this time, someone named Lu Zhang came up with an idea.
"This person is a local local snake, and he has a great way to get involved with the time-honored 'Sitong Hao' and let Sitong Hao agree to borrow money to pay the Pingnan Army.
"That sum of money solved the urgent needs of the Pingnan Army. This Lu Zhang made a lot of money from the middle. For example, he only needed one hundred taels, but he wrote one thousand taels on the IOU, and the difference went into himself. The pockets of ordinary soldiers are still only able to eat and eat.
"So, although the current Pingnan Army seems to be stable, there are many crises in it. I don't know when the four-way number will come to collect debts. As long as I collect debts, it must be a big hole that you can't plug. It is estimated that the salaries borrowed once are almost used up. It is now the new year, and the problem of salaries will be faced at the beginning of the year.
"That's why I said, try not to get involved with the Pingnan Army."
