Chapter 90-90.
Zheng Yuansheng didn't understand why his father called him home, and when he walked into the study, he was a little surprised to see his father and three older brothers also present.Seeing his father's solemn expression, he restrained his joyful mood: "Father, what are your orders for the child?"

Zheng Zongde looked at his son, who was gentle and talented, and he did not forget to read books while helping in the mine these days.Facing such an excellent son, he couldn't bear to think about what he was going to do next, and couldn't help but turn to his eldest son, Zheng Yuanxin, hoping that he would speak.

Zheng Yuanxin lowered his head, avoiding his father's gaze.

Zheng Zongde looked at his second son, Zheng Yuanli, and third son, Zheng Yuanfei, and found that their eyes were vacillating, knowing that there was no hope for them to talk about the marriage of the fourth son.

Seeing his father hesitate, Zheng Yuansheng smiled and said, "Father, why are you being polite to your son? If you have any orders, just say it clearly."

Zheng Zongde sighed: "Fourth brother! I'm afraid our family will sacrifice you."

Zheng Yuansheng's smile disappeared: "What does Dad want me to do?"

"Our family was able to hand in the scissors purchased by the Armed Forces Academy this time, thanks to Tian Erya. She has made great contributions. She will definitely make unreasonable demands on our family. If she wants to marry you as the wife of the house, your father and I will not be able to do it again." Refute her. I can only wrong you to marry her to repay this kindness for the Zheng family."

Zheng Yuansheng's heart instantly blossomed with joy, his chest was filled with unspeakable joy, and he tried his best to make his expression look very sad.

Zheng Yuanxin and the others couldn't help spying on his expression. Seeing how sad he was, they tried to appease him: "Fourth, Dad has no choice but to make such a decision. Don't feel too uncomfortable."

"Fourth, just give her a title. In the future, you can marry other women."

"Fourth brother, third brother will help you find many beautiful concubines and concubines, and will definitely make up for your regret."

"Fourth, our father is planning for a rainy day. Maybe Tian Erya won't ask to be your wife. Don't be too sad."

Zheng Zongde couldn't see his son being heartbroken, and stomped his feet: "Fourth brother, I can't drive you to a dead end just because of the kindness owed to me and your brothers. If Tian Erya really asks to marry you, I will be brave , disperse half of the property, and let her change her mind."

Zheng Yuansheng was afraid that the play would go too far, and the cooked duck would fly away, so he hurriedly said, "Father, I am also from the Zheng family, and I will do my part to repay the kindness and solve problems for the Zheng family. Everything will be done according to your wishes."

Zheng Zongde was moved, and tears filled his eyes: "Son, I really wronged you. I know that a peasant woman like Tian Erya is not good enough for you. If you are well-educated, you will be elected, admitted to Jinshi, and become an official in the future. You are ridiculed by a well-known country woman as the wife of the house. It is all because of your father's greed for profit and his foolishness, which made the scissors made by our Longshun and Forged not meet the requirements of the court, and Tian Erya took advantage of the loophole."

Zheng Yuanxin, Zheng Yuanli and Zheng Yuanfei lowered their heads.

Zheng Yuansheng comforted: "Father, the matter is over, you don't need to be sad anymore."

Seeing that he was so considerate, Zheng Zongde felt more and more sorry for his son, and said apologetically, "In the future, I will never intervene in your married life. Sigh! This time it is my father and the Zheng family who are sorry for you." gone."

Zheng Yuansheng lowered his head, with a look of appointment and helplessness on his face. When he left the door, he couldn't help but twitch his lips. When he saw someone walking towards him, he quickly withdrew his smile and returned to his usual expressionless look.

When he found Tian Erya, Tian Erya had just returned from visiting her father and elder brother, and was a little depressed because of being reprimanded by her father.He dragged her aside: "Erya, you have completed the important task of forging scissors, and you are a great favor to the Zheng family. If my father asks you for any request, you can ask for it as much as you want."

"Huh?" Tian Erya was puzzled, "A request?"

"Yes, you can make any request." He emphasized his tone.

Tian Erya was excited: "Can you make such an exaggerated request?"

"That's right." Zheng Yuansheng added, "You can take the opportunity to boldly raise any unreasonable thoughts in your head, including them."

Tian Erya blinked her eyes: "An outrageous idea?"

Zheng Yuansheng suppressed a smile, and said with a straight face: "Yes. You are bold to mention it. No matter what the conditions are, my father will agree to you. This is a rare opportunity, you have to grasp it well. After passing this village, there will be no such thing. It’s gone. You boldly put forward your inner thoughts.”

Tian Erya had a bold idea in her heart, and nodded vigorously.

Zheng Yuansheng smiled confidently, his heart was full of joy.Now that he has understood his intentions, he is sure that he likes Tian Erya, and he immediately takes action.When Tian Erya brought up the idea of ​​marrying him, his father would no longer object, and they would have lovers who would eventually get married.

The inner hall of the Zheng family.

When Tian Erya was brought in by Steward Lu, she saw Zheng Zongde sitting in the main seat, his wife was sitting on his left, and Second Aunt was sitting on his right.Second Auntie's eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had just cried bitterly.The other young masters and wives sat on both sides, not understanding why the Zheng family had such a big battle, and saluted: "I have met the master and wife. All young masters and young wives, Jinan."

Madam lowered her eyes slightly: "Excuse me. Give me a seat." If the Zheng family accepts this country woman as a young mistress, she will lose face when she goes out to socialize.For this alone, she couldn't like Tian Erya either.

The second aunt saw Tian Erya wearing coarse clothes, her face was black and yellow, and seeing her own son Yuan Sheng with a handsome face and a graceful face, tears welled up in her eyes again.Pity her excellent son, who has to be married to an ugly village girl.

Zheng Zongde also hated Tian Erya very much, thinking about her wanting to be his daughter-in-law, his scalp tingled for a while.He reluctantly said: "Tian Erya, you have made great contributions to the acquisition of scissors by the Armed Forces Academy and saved my Zheng family. Now, if you have any requests, just ask. I will promise everything to you."

Tian Erya was overjoyed, grinning up to her ears: "Really?"

Zheng Zongde was ready to sacrifice his son, and nodded sadly and heavily: "Yes. Whatever you ask for, I will agree."

Zheng Yuansheng lowered his head and stared at the upper of the shoe. He could not help but smile on his face, and tried to restrain himself, showing an expression of grievance.

"I want to learn the Zheng family's craft of forging scissors." Tian Erya said solemnly.

Zheng Yuansheng raised his head in surprise, his eyes widened.

Zheng Zongde was also stunned: "Tian Erya, what is your request?"

"Yes. Master Zheng, please allow me to systematically learn the craft of forging scissors handed down by the Zheng family's ancestors."

Zheng Zongde's face turned down: "No, the rule of my Zheng family is that skills should not be passed on to outsiders, and passed on from men to women. As an outsider, you must not learn from it."

Tian Erya was not convinced: "Why not? Didn't you just say that? You can agree to any request I make."

"What I'm saying is, if I can agree to your request, I will agree to you. The request you are making now violates the ancestral precepts, and I cannot agree to it. Change your request."

"I have no other requirements, just this one condition, to learn the Zheng family's craft of forging scissors."

"No." Zheng Zongde flatly refused.

At this time, Steward Lu whispered a few words in front of him, and he stood up: "I have business to deal with, I will give you a little time, you can think about it here, think about other conditions, and then tell me."
