Chapter 207: Suspicions are thick

As soon as Chai Shao's words came out, it showed that he had made a decision, and then he did not dwell on the case, but instead asked about the establishment of the Gewu Academy.

Most of the time the questions he raised were answered by Yao Ziqiu and Yang Qingrang, Li Ke added, Jiang Chengzi had been watching from the sidelines, as for Zhang Jiayin's previous internal urgency, he did not return for a long time, and waited until Chai Shao asked about the same time, Zhang Jia walked in slowly, saluted Chai Shao, and said, "General Chai, Jinhua is rude." ”

"Human nature, how to be rude, you and I don't have to be restrained. I have a good relationship with your father and even your grandparents. Chai Shao said with a smile.

Zhang Jia replied "yes" and sat down.

At this time, Chai Shao suddenly smiled, glanced at all the people present with a serious expression, and said in an unprecedented solemn tone: "Now, Gewuyuan is your territory, and all your achievements should be in this world." As long as you keep this position in mind, no one can harm you, and I will always be on your side. ”

"Thank you, General Chai, for the point. Yang Qingrang took the lead in saluting.

Chai Shao waved his hand and said, "Now, Ah Zhi is my righteous daughter, and you can be regarded as related to my Chai family." I can tell you plainly that I am not saying this, but I hope you will remember it and do it. ”

"Uncle don't worry, don't you say that my father is not an idle person, even if the peace in this world is paved with the lives and blood of countless ancestors, how can we destroy peace for our own selfishness?" Li Ke said again.

Zhang Jia also replied: "General Chai, rest assured, the Zhang clan in Hedong will not only not destroy this hard-won peace, but will also do its best to protect it." ”

Chai Shao nodded, but cast his eyes on Jiang Chengzi again, and his expression was clearly calling her to make a gesture.

Jiang Chengzi couldn't pretend to be stupid, so he shrugged his shoulders and said: "I'm a little woman, I don't have big ambitions, since everyone has expressed their position, I will also make a statement." I want to protect this peaceful and prosperous world, but I want to protect the people I want to protect. If there is a conflict between the two, then I'm sorry, I'm just a little woman, small people, small hearts, and I may not be able to pretend to be the world at that time. ”

"Ah Zhi, it's not big or small. Yang Qingrang reprimanded in a low voice, but he felt that in the past few days, these words were too much, and he was really powerless.

"I'll be honest. I'm just a person with no big ambitions. Jiang Chengzi pouted.

Chai Shao nodded approvingly and said, "Ah Zhi is really temperamental, and my father-in-law is quite pleased, but I can say this in front of me in the future, and I must not mention it again in front of others." ”

"Ah Zhi obeys the teachings of his father-in-law. Jiang Chengzi replied obediently.

Chai Shao looked at the teenagers present again, nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, I understand the righteousness, I can see the situation clearly, and I have real skills." I hope that at any time, you will not forget the original intention of wishing the people of the world to be rich. ”

"Younger generations remember. Several people spoke in unison.

Chai Shao happily straightened his beard again, and said, "You guys disperse, I will sort out some information, and I should set off tomorrow to report to the emperor." ”

"Yes. Several men replied, and then respectfully withdrew.

At this time, it was already the time to hold the lamp, and in the courtyard in winter, there were bursts of cold and cold, and the wind blew tightly. Jiang Chengzi wrapped his body tightly, looked at the inky black sky, and muttered to himself: "It's not going to snow." ”

"The wind is blowing tightly, and looking at the dark sky, I am afraid that the mountains will be covered with heavy snow. Yao Ziqiu looked up and replied.

"General Chai is not going to be able to go this way. Zhang Jia muttered to himself.

Li Ke retorted: "General Chai is a horse, and he has experienced a journey that is a hundred times more difficult than this. This matter is not difficult for General Chai. ”

Zhang Jia didn't speak, but only said to Jiang Chengzi: "Ah Zhi, I have to leave." ”

"Ah, are you going to leave now?" Jiang Chengzi looked at his expression, as if he was going to leave immediately.

"Yes. Zhang Jia replied.

Jiang Chengzi looked at the sky and couldn't help but be surprised, and asked again: "But what's the matter?" If not, it's not too late to set off early tomorrow morning. It's getting late today, and the clouds are thick, and I'm afraid that there will be heavy snow blocking the mountain, which is very dangerous. ”

Zhang Jia was stunned for a moment, a chuckle bloomed in his thin eyebrows, and replied, "I came here for your business." Now that the matter has been settled, I am leaving. Besides, in a few days it will be the winter solstice, and I have to rush back to my ancestral home in Meizhou to reunite with my family. ”

"There's no rush either. Yang Qingrang also interjected.

Zhang Jia didn't answer, but said with a smile: "Yang Gongzi, don't worry about me, the snow night road is the slightest tempering for the heirs of the Zhang family. ”

"Showmanship. Li Ke muttered unhappily.

Zhang Jia didn't speak, just turned to look at Jiang Chengzi and shouted, "Ah Zhi." ”

"Well, I'm here. She replied.

Although she still feels very awkward to get along with Zhang Jia, although the killing in the dream is still vivid, she has to admit that Zhang Jia has been trying her best to help her and help the Yang family in the sixth room these days. So, she can't slap people in the face too much. What's more, judging from Zhang Jia's words and deeds this time, the Zhang family seems to be very unsimple, and there should be some shocking secrets. In this way, it is better for the heir of the family not to be offended, of course, if he can use it for himself, it will be even better. Therefore, Jiang Chengzi's attitude towards Zhang Jia eased a lot.

"Take care, I'm leaving. His tone was a little lonely.

Jiang Chengzi pursed his lips and said, "Since you insist on leaving now, I can't keep you, I just hope that you will be cautious everywhere and arrive peacefully." ”

"Don't worry, when I arrive, I'll send a message to report my safety. He said.

Jiang Chengzi nodded, Zhang Jia hurriedly exchanged greetings with Yao Ziqiu and Yang Qingrang, and turned around and disappeared into the vast night. Yao Ziqiu, who was obviously so, touched his head and said to himself: "It's such a bad day, but Zhang Gongzi still insists on leaving, but on the winter solstice, it's not a reason to go." ”

Jiang Chengzi wanted to say that Zhang Jia was very uncomfortable staying here to see her and Li Kexiu's affection, and she would definitely leave after finishing her errands, but how could she say it.

Of course, he hadn't said it yet, but Li Ke seemed to think of something, and said to Jiang Chengzi: "Ah Zhi, you rest first, and I'll go back when I go." ”

"Where are you going?" Jiang Chengzi shouted.

"I'll tell you in a moment. He shouted in her Mandarin, and then he fell into the darkness of the night.

Jiang Chengzi always felt as if Li Ke had suddenly discovered something. I don't know if there will be danger? Jiang Chengzi's heart hung high unconsciously, and he returned to his residence listlessly.

Yang Ruyu was sewing a wedding dress, and when she saw Jiang Chengzi answering, she blushed and shouted, "Ah Zhi, do you see if this dress is suitable?"

Jiang Chengzi glanced at it and said, "Sew it again?"

"It was a big red before, and it didn't fit. After all, it's just the crown prince's side concubine. Yang Ruyu's tone was slightly lonely.

She said this is understandable, which woman doesn't expect that she is married to Ming Media, and her red wedding dress is ten miles of red makeup. But Yang Ruyu is looking forward to coming and going, and finally looking forward to a good match, but she is not a wife, and she can't even wear a red wedding dress, so she will be uneasy in the end.

However, the person Yang Ruyu wants to marry is the current prince, and she is too casual and indecent to say this.

Jiang Chengzi frowned and said solemnly, "Eldest sister, you just say this to me." If you let someone listen to it, others will think that the Yang family's sixth room has a heart of disobedience and is restless. ”

When Yang Ruyu heard this, her face turned white, she bit her lip, and muttered, "I, I didn't think about it so much." ”

Jiang Chengzi stepped forward, hugged Yang Ruyu, and said, "Eldest sister, the momentum of your music just now is much better." You don't have to look down on yourself, General Chai is amazed. ”

"Ah Zhi really thinks of me, how am I?" she also hugged Jiang Chengzi with her backhand.

Jiang Chengzi said "um", Yang Ruyu smiled and said: "In the past, no one ever said that I was good, and the one who talked the most was the broom star, old girl." ”

"That's their malice, the eldest sister doesn't have to mind, she cares about it. Jiang Chengzi comforted.

"Ah Zhi, I'm actually a little scared, the crown princess, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with it. Yang Ruyu whispered.

Jiang Chengzi hugged her tighter and said, "Eldest sister, you are from the Hongnong Yang family, you are a famous and noble girl, and your gestures are already a model. Besides, even if you get married, you still have your father, mother, eldest brother and me behind you, who would dare to look down on you?"

"Ah Zhi, I know that you are the most capable, and with your words, the eldest sister will be much more confident. Yang Ruyu chuckled.

Jiang Chengzi only felt a little embarrassed, and at this time he felt as if he had been trapped by Yang Ruyu. Heh, why did you forget that this eldest sister grew up watching that group of people in the ancestral house of the Hongnong Yang family. She is also a woman in the house, and she is really good, so she began to plan for herself at this time.

"Heh, what did the eldest sister say, we are a family. Jiang Chengzi's excited heart cooled down, and politely praised her wedding dress for being quite good-looking.

Yang Ruyu smiled happily, but Jiang Chengzi got up and said, "General Chai will leave early tomorrow morning, I don't think there is any need to bother the eldest sister here, I am here to pack up my things and go back." ”

Yang Ruyu's expression froze, and she asked a little timidly: "Ah Zhi, are you not used to living here with the eldest sister?"

Jiang Chengzi shook his head and said with a smile, "Eldest sister, what are you talking about." I just have a bed, and I haven't slept well for a few days. ”

"If that is the case, I will not keep you. It's just that this embroidery, can you still learn it?" asked Yang Ruyu.

Jiang Chengzi packed up his baggage, shook his head, and said, "I don't have this talent, even if I learn old, I can't learn it." I have discussed with my brother-in-law before, and I have waited for Chang'an, and we will lead the trend of Chang'an. What clothes, makeup, or hairpins have to be led by us. ”

When Jiang Chengzi said this, he remembered that he had said that after listening to Chai Shao's teachings, he would go to dismantle firewood and order martial arts.

Just now, because of Zhang Jia's sudden farewell and Li Keshen's chattering sudden departure, her heart was disturbed, and her heart hung up, and she actually forgot that Chai Lingwu went to Jinyuan County at night.

Gotta look for it, don't poke out some kind of basket. Although Chai Lingwu doesn't look very sloppy, who knows what earth-shattering things this famous gentleman in Chang'an will do.

"Ah Zhi, weren't you joking before?" Yang Ruyu asked in surprise.

"What am I laughing at? Chang'an is full of silver, so why don't you make it if you can make it? Besides, don't you look at those people in the officialdom who boast of being famous, and they are not rare in money, but in fact which one is not rare? Just look at those famous families to marry, which one is not looking at the rich dowry? Money, it is a good thing, and the eldest sister should not be disgusted. Jiang Chengzi tightened his burden and replied with a smile.

Yang Ruyu replied embarrassedly: "Where do I dislike money." I heard you say that you were going to open a ready-to-wear shop, and I thought you were just joking, but I didn't expect that this time it had already been discussed with Chai Gongzi. ”

"I never make a fuss about making money. Moreover, when we arrived in Chang'an, we needed to take care of everything everywhere, so we relied on my father and eldest brother's money, and I was afraid that we would have to sleep on the streets. Jiang Chengzi said again.

"Wouldn't it?" Yang Ruyu was very surprised, and said hesitantly, "Okay, my father is the right attendant of the Ministry of Works appointed by the emperor, and this residence-"

"Don't talk about it at this moment, when the eldest sister goes to Chang'an, she will know. Jiang Chengzi stretched out his hand to ask her to stop, don't talk about the superior.

Yang Ruyu covered her mouth, Jiang Chengzi carried the burden, left a stack of Qing Jiangbai for Yang Ruyu to play with, and strode to her room.

Fortunately, Yang Ruyu's wing room was not far from her residence, and in a minute or two, she jumped back into her house.

Jiang Chengzi has never liked to have others walking around in the house, so there has never been a girl to serve.

During the day, she asked Mama Zhou to designate a reliable girl to come and clean up, and in the early morning, it was basically Yunzhu who led the two little maids to serve.

So, when she came back to the house, there was not a single candle in the house, except for the red lanterns under the eaves of the verandah outside the house, which swayed in the cold wind. However, the good thing is that she has night vision and does not need lights. She walked quickly to the house, put away her baggage, changed into a dress that was not too cumbersome, changed into a short cloak and put it on, and wore small leather boots designed by herself and sewn by Mama Zhou herself, and jumped out with a few copper coins in her arms.

She first went to ask the porter Chai Lingwu if he was back, and the porter shook his head.

"Did Mr. Chai say anything?" Jiang Chengzi asked again.

The porter shook his head and replied, "Chai Gongzi only asked Zhao Zilong of the Three Kingdoms if he really came here?"

"Ah, who of you told him about the Zilong Temple?" Jiang Chengzi asked, without expecting them to answer, so he left the house and went directly to the Zilong Temple in the east of the city.

Jiang Chengzi was actually very puzzled: What is Chai Lingwu going to Zilong Temple for? Could it be that a gentleman wants to cherish the memory of Zhao Zilong and pray that Zhao Zilong will possess him, become a new generation of war gods, and sweep through the northern frontier?

At this time, it was already dark for a while, but this was a small border town, not as big as a large city, so the curfew time would not be too precise or too strict. So, there are still a few pedestrians on the road. However, because the sky is about to change, everyone is in a hurry, and even the vendors who buy noodles and pancakes in Pingsuli have begun to close their stalls.

I hope that guy is still over there!

Jiang Chengzi hurried away. As soon as I arrived at the bottom of the mountain where the Zilong Temple was located, I saw someone carrying a lantern down the steps of the mountain. Because of the trees, I saw only the lantern swaying in the wind, but I didn't see who the man was.

It should be him!

Jiang Chengzi stood at the bottom of the mountain for a while, and when the man turned a corner and came out of the woods, it was Chai Lingwu in a robe, his long hair was untied, and the cloak on his body had long since disappeared, looking like he had hit a ghost, and he was depressed. (To be continued.) )
