According to locals, the layout of Chenghai County is like the civil and military side of the Chaozhou opera stage, following the principle of Wen left and Wu right. On the central axis of the county government, on the east side, are the Confucian Temple, Wenming Pavilion and a series of

There are academies and private schools; on the west side, there are military-related buildings and facilities such as the garrison, stables, and small arrow paths.

On weekdays, Zheng Shengying, the magistrate of the county, works in the county government office, while Chen Hui, who is in charge of Chenghai area affairs, sits in the garrison office. At this moment, Chen Hui is still training soldiers and horses in the newly built military camp, but Zheng Chenggong and Chen Kai have not moved into the county government office and garrison office.

The office was in a house in the city. When they heard that Zheng Hongkui had arrived, the two of them quickly got up and went to the port to greet him. However, before leaving the yard, a pretty figure jumped in first.

"Brother Mori!"

The person who came was a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old. She was taller than her peers. Her green dress set off her cute and young face, which gave her a budding look.

The girl's eyebrows are somewhat similar to Zheng Chenggong's, and Zheng Sen is the nickname used by Zheng Chenggong in his early years. Chen Kaisi came to think that she was a female member of the Zheng family, especially when Zheng Hongkui suddenly appeared when she arrived, I am afraid she is not Zheng Chenggong's biological sister.

, is the daughter of Zheng Hongkui and the cousin of Zheng Chenggong.

"The daughter of the Zheng family."

Looking at the girl's age and bun, he thought she was a girl who had not yet left the court. Chen Kai glanced at her and thought it would be rude, so he quickly withdrew his gaze, not daring to look any further.

Chen Kai didn't have the nerve to stare at the girl. The little girl didn't seem to have a person like Chen Kai in her eyes. A pair of small hands pulled Zheng Chenggong's sleeves and called "Brother Sen" sweetly, chirping like a little lark.

Generally speaking, it seems that when Zheng Chenggong was still in Anping Town, he was chasing after Zheng Chenggong and running around like crazy.

"This girl was in a hurry to see you, so I took a boat over here. Now it's so good that I don't even want my father anymore."

No one was seen, but the sound came first. Maybe he heard the girl's voice, and Zheng Hongkui's hearty laughter came over. Just when he walked to the door, he was the first to notice Chen Kai standing aside, but he seemed a little embarrassed.

"Fourth uncle."

Seeing Zheng Hongkui coming, Zheng Chenggong saluted quickly, but was immediately helped up by Zheng Hongkui with both hands. Looking carefully, the latter even showed a happy smile. It seemed that he had not seen him for half a year. When he saw him again, he did see this nephew whom he was very optimistic about.

He seems a little more mature.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'm relieved to see that you are doing as well as you are today."

A rough big hand patted Zheng Chenggong's shoulder heavily. The latter indeed stood proudly without even the slightest tremor. The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was in silence. However, after a moment, Zheng Chenggong remembered that Chen Kaishang was there.

Things around you.

"Chen Canjun, this is my fourth uncle Dingguo Gong."

"My lower official, Chen Kai, has met Duke Dingguo."

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the status of civil servants was relatively high, especially higher than that of military generals. Many of the etiquette for low-level civil servants meeting high-level military generals could be avoided at some point, and even the reverse later happened. However,

In front of Zheng Chenggong's uncle, a prince of the country, Chen Kai did not dare to support him, but before he could fulfill his courtesy, he was forcibly helped up by those big hands.

"It turns out that you are Chen Canjun, whom Damu often mentioned. You are indeed a talented person."

Zheng Hongkui's admiration for Chen Kai and Zheng Chenggong's regard for Chen Kai were all integrated into it. With just this first sentence, Chen Kai directly labeled Zheng Hongkui as sophisticated in his heart. Think about it carefully.

People's experience, Chongzhen Dynasty was a military Jinshi, and Hongguang Dynasty was already the commander-in-chief of Zhenjiang, leading the navy to assist in the defense of the Yangtze River. He was still able to handle the chaotic situation like Hongguang Dynasty, and everyone who heard his name was full of praise. This kind of reputation

Even Huang Degong, who died for his country, has never happened before, which can be seen from this.

"I don't dare. I just happened to be lowered at the right time."

After being polite, Chen Kai knew that the next step would be the reunion of the Zheng family's uncle and nephew, brother and sister. It was not convenient for him as an outsider to be an eyesore, so he casually found an excuse and left. However, when he stood up to leave, he saw from the corner of his eye.

The girl tilted her little head and seemed to be looking at him with more curiosity, so she subconsciously took another look, so that after leaving the room, there was still some aftertaste of the flower bone in his mind.

.

"It seems to me that I haven't touched a woman for too long. Then she's still a child."

Secretly cursing himself that he was worse than a beast, Chen Kai shook his head and continued walking towards his temporary residence, intending to go back and read a book to kill time.

However, it is undeniable that the girl is indeed a beauty if you look closely, but she is still young and has not yet fully grown. As for what she will look like in the future, it will probably not be much different.

Not to mention anything else, her father Zheng Hongkui is very good-looking, and her cousin Zheng Chenggong is also very heroic. It is said that Zheng Chenggong's father Zheng Zhilong was also very good-looking when he was young, and because of his extraordinary ability, he was adopted by Li Dan as his adopted son and took charge of the country.

Some people even say that Zheng Zhilong is not Yan Siqi's sworn brother and son-in-law, but a male favorite. Although Zheng Zhilong's strength at the time is very low, if people look at Zheng Zhilong, they will feel sick.

, probably there will be no such statement.

"The advantage of genetics is really great."

Sighing, Chen Kai also knew that he should not continue to think wildly. He did not say silly things about starting in three years and the maximum death penalty. He only said that this girl was the daughter of Zheng Hongkui, the daughter of Duke Dingguo, and she had probably already died.

If you are married to someone who is the daughter-in-law of a noble family, no matter how much you think about it, it will be a waste of time. Instead of doing this, it would be more valuable to think more about how to unfold the situation next.

………………

Chen Kai left, and Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong and the little girl were left in the room. Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong exchanged words with each other, telling each other some of their experiences and interesting stories during this period, and the little girl

The girl kept holding her small head with her hands, listening to her father and this long-admired cousin talking freely.

Since Zheng Chenggong was stationed in Nan'ao, he didn't know much about the current situation of the tribesmen in Anping Town than Zheng Hongkui who guarded Kinmen. After chatting for a long time, he got some understanding, especially about the physical condition of his grandmother, Mrs. Huang, and several uncles.

The situation is pretty good, but I have put down some worries.

After chatting about these things at home, Zheng Hongkui sighed: "When I arrived at Tongshan Institute, I heard that Damu had captured Chaozhou Fucheng. I thought I would work hard in Quanzhou last year, but in the end I returned without success. Now you can

If you seize the capital city by yourself first, and then go to Chenghai County, you will be a hundred times stronger than me. I am indeed right."

Zheng Hongkui's smile showed both relief and sadness as the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Seeing this, Zheng Chenggong quickly said: "What the fourth uncle said is indeed true. In fact, it is not my nephew who can win this city."
