Chapter 28 - 28. Phoenix with Pheasant

Zheng Yuansheng explained to Zheng Yide: "Second Uncle, Ms. Wu's escaped marriage by mistake. She clearly opposed this marriage, but she still obeyed her parents' orders to marry me, and used me as a cover to escape from marriage on the wedding night, bewildering me and Tian. Erya, involved Tian Erya, an innocent woman, and put me and Tian Erya in an embarrassing situation. However, from another perspective, she is not wrong. A woman who falls in love with the person she loves wants to What's wrong with being with the one you love, running away from strange men, and looking for love boldly?"

Zheng Yide was furious: "Her biggest mistake is that she shouldn't have run away on your wedding night with her, making our Zheng family a joke, an unforgivable crime."

Zheng Yuansheng looked at him firmly: "Second Uncle, you are someone who has experienced it, and understands that a woman dares to risk everything when she is emotional, and risk her life to be with her sweetheart. There is nothing wrong with her love."

When Zheng Yide lived, there was once a woman who risked the world to express her heart to him. He was also moved to tears. He made enough preparations to splash his blood and be ridiculed all his life, but the result was not satisfactory.After a while, he came back to his senses and snorted: "If you want me to say, the pedantic parents of the Wu family are the ones who made the most mistakes. Knowing that Ms. Wu has a sweetheart, they insisted on marrying her to you, which caused the current tragedy."

Zheng Yuansheng smiled wryly: "Yes, my marriage is a tragedy, and Tian Erya's here is also a tragedy."

Zheng Yide immediately retorted: "I don't know if your marriage is a tragedy. However, Tian Erya is not a tragedy. Don't look at her bruised nose, swollen face and haggard face that I have cleaned up these days, you think she is living a very miserable life." Miserable. In fact, I was the one who was miserable. You just saw her arrogant appearance. These days, she has been pissing me off a lot. I beat her with a whip before, but she grabbed the whip and dragged me over. This is not a A girl who is willing to suffer."

"Second Uncle thinks she's difficult to deal with?"

"She's so good at it! If it weren't for my superb scissor forging skills, she would have given up on her job long ago if she wanted to learn from a teacher. How could she suffer this here?"

Zheng Yuansheng stared at the chessboard: "Second uncle also thinks she is suffering here?"

Zheng Yide recollected: "Fourth, you don't come to me to play chess for no reason, maybe it's because you don't like Tian Erya suffering here, and you feel sorry, so you come to me specifically?"

"Second Uncle has a clear mind." Now that he has been exposed, he no longer hides it.

Zheng Yide snorted: "Although your second uncle is old, he is not stupid! You have always been soft-hearted, and you will not be indifferent to seeing Tian Erya who was involved in the whirlpool suffer here because of you. But, fourth child, If Ms. Wu never shows up, will Tian Erya change her mind and stick to you to be your wife? I will torture her in a different way and force her to leave, so you can find a suitable marriage again. "

Zheng Yuansheng looked at him, with sadness in his clear eyes: "Second uncle, you tortured her in the blacksmith yard and forced her away. In addition to damaging the reputation of the Zheng family's kind family, you also treated me badly. Anyone with a discerning eye will guess that it is I tried every means to force a poor woman."

"You don't care what other people think, as long as the goal is not achieved."

"The news of my unsatisfactory marriage has spread all over the county. In the future, if I win the imperial examination and Jinshi examination, even if I enter the court one day, people will still make fun of it. When they learn that our family once treated an innocent The poor girl who is here will definitely criticize me behind my back."

Zheng Yide suddenly realized: "I didn't think that this kind of behavior might damage your reputation. Oops! I was too confused. I forgot that you scholars value reputation most, and court officials value reputation most. I can't because of this incident. Let people smear your face, in the future, I promise not to abuse Tian Erya."

Zheng Yuansheng reminded: "It is not enough to abuse her, we must treat her well. Only in this way can outsiders see the demeanor and heart of our Zheng family."

"How can you treat her well in the environment of the iron courtyard? As long as she stays here, there will always be endless dirty and tiring work. Unless you let her leave voluntarily."

"I told her that if Ms. Wu doesn't show up within a year, I'll marry her as the housewife, let her leave the Blacksmith Courtyard, and let her wait in the other courtyard of Zheng's house. However, she refused and insisted on staying. Learn the art of forging scissors from you in the Blacksmithing Academy."

Zheng Yide was taken aback: "Fourth brother, don't let your anger go to your head. We all know that you are holding your breath because of Ms. Wu's escaping marriage, but don't let her lose your respect for all the rich and powerful families because of her alone." The fantasy and love of a daughter. Tian Erya is a country girl who escaped from the famine. She is good at rough work and blacksmithing. It’s really ridiculous to pair a phoenix with a pheasant.”

Zheng Yuansheng looked at the dilemma on the chessboard: "The matter has come to this, what can I do? I really put all my hopes on that woman Wu Jingshu, looking forward to her appearing and explaining that I have nothing to do with Tian Erya? What if it appears? Tian Erya won’t marry? I’ll never get married? It’s not realistic at all.”

"Miss Wu will show up. Her parents are still in the city, and they will always come back to visit them."

"Second uncle, it's okay for others to say that. Isn't it a little ironic for you to say it?"

Zheng Yide was at a loss for words when he heard his nephew's direct mocking words.After a while, he pushed the chessboard away: "Are you here to play chess with Second Uncle? Or use a knife to stab Second Uncle in the heart?"

Zheng Yuansheng fiddled with the chess pieces he messed up: "Second Uncle, I'm just seeking truth from facts. At that time, you and the Qin family were both high-ranking, didn't you want to leave desperately, if you weren't caught by the Qin family and failed, you Will you come back to visit grandpa after you fly away?"

"I'm not good enough, so don't use me as an example."

"Second uncle cut off his wings for love. The daughter of the Qin family fell into the river and has never been heard from. Maybe she is still alive, and she doesn't want to come back here again."

Zheng Yide overturned the chessboard: "Fourth, we're talking about you, why are you talking nonsense about me?"

Tian Erya was rummaging for pieces of iron in a pile of iron materials, and when she heard the sound, she saw that Zheng Yide's eyes were red and his veins were bulging. She had never seen him so angry when she was angry with him just now.Zheng Yuansheng, a scholar, made his popularity look like this without compromising.

Zheng Yuansheng picked up the pawn: "Second Uncle, why bother to get angry. I'm just discussing the matter and comparing my heart with my heart. Miss Wu's family leaves home, just like the girl from the Qin family's pursuit of love, and there is still room for turning around?"

Tian Erya was confused when she heard this, she knew Miss Wu, and who was the woman from the Qin family?
Zheng Yide looked at Tian Erya at them, and glared at her: "Do your job. You can't even tell the difference between pig iron and wrought iron. What kind of blacksmith do you want to be?"

Tian Erya lowered her head in shame, and hurriedly continued to search for the iron piece.

Zheng Yuansheng laughed softly: "Second Uncle, it seems that Tian Erya is very fascinated by blacksmithing, and she refuses to leave easily. As long as you don't let her be punished, so what if you leave her here to fight?"

Zheng Yide sat back in his seat again: "It's okay to keep her. If she learns our unique skill of forging scissors, then you can just don't blame me."

"The process of forging scissors is complicated, and you can't learn it just by looking at it. Didn't you say that just now?"

"Hmph. I said that on purpose just now to suppress that girl's arrogance. If it were someone else, maybe they wouldn't be able to learn it every day, but Tian Erya will sooner or later see our way of inlaid steel."

Zheng Yuansheng was surprised: "Second Uncle, why do you think so highly of her?"
