Chapter 100: The Master of the House
After talking to Nian Qing in Tangquan, Jiang Chengzi was very shocked.
If what Nianqing said is true, then the current Li Ke is likely to be a time-traveling element with himself. Even if he wasn't, he must have had a good personal relationship with the Travelers.
Jiang Chengzi thought of this time and space, and there were people with the same culture as herself, she was pleasantly surprised at first, and then felt a chill down her spine.
If there is a person from the same time and space as himself, then the lie that he is a disciple of the Taoist Immortal is likely to be exposed, and he also needs to be extra cautious about what he wants to do in the future, otherwise he will be known by that person, if the other party is still a good person, it is good, but if the other party is a bad person, then he will definitely be defeated, and he will also affect his innocent family.
Be cautious in the future. She pondered to herself, but she also paid attention to her every move. Nian Qing was standing respectfully on the edge of the soup pool, waiting for her instructions, and her expression and behavior were not abnormal.
"Sister Nianqing, can you tell me about you?" Jiang Chengzi thought for a moment, but still felt that it was common for him to be lala with Nianqing, and knocked on the side to see if she was lying, and at the same time inquired about the possible traverser.
When Nianqing heard this, she opened her mouth and said "ahh β
"Don't be so afraid, just gossip. Let's talk about your hometown, your family, and how you went to Gongzi's mansion to serve. Jiang Chengzi was still soaking in the comfortable soup spring, throwing out what he wanted to know. is to look at Nian Qing seriously.
In the following conversation, she had to use her psychological knowledge to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Nian Qing's expression, movements, eyes, and language, as well as meticulous reasoning. to determine the information you want.
Nianqing's expression and demeanor were as usual, and the whole person bowed respectfully, and then replied very politely: "The maid is a lowly person, the girl wants to know, and the maid said." Just don't defile the girl's ears. β
"Sister Nianqing, I respect you as a sister, and you are a servant. I won't say much, don't talk to me about such despicable things like Fang Cai in the future. Jiang Chengzi said solemnly.
She has been a person who has been accustomed to seeing such things as dignity and humility since she was a child. can also accept the ancient etiquette safely, but when she heard Nian Qing say this, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart.
When Nian Qing heard this, he immediately knelt down and sat down. "Girl." Don't worry, the servant won't say it in the future. β
Jiang Chengzi looked at her like this, she was so angry, but she didn't bother to care, she just waved her hand and said, "Don't say anything else, let's talk about you." β
Nian Qing said yes, and then talked about her life experience. said that she was from Huaiyin, and her name was Qi Hongxiu. Later, he encountered a military accident and both parents died. Grandmother was cornered. Take him and his younger brother to Hongnong to join his aunt. Unexpectedly, my aunt's family also suffered a disaster, and my younger brother also contracted an illness and died on the road. Her grandmother slept with her on the streets, begging for a living. In those years, the world was in turmoil, there were wars and famines everywhere, and my grandmother's health was getting worse day by day.
When Nian Qing said this, she couldn't stop crying and kept apologizing.
Jiang Chengzi also knew that she was doing a very cruel thing, but she had to do it. Otherwise, there is no way to judge Nian Qing.
"You don't have to apologize. Originally, I didn't think it through, and it reminded you of the hurt of memories. Jiang Chengzi sighed.
Nian Qing sniffed, tried to keep back her tears, and said, "Fortunately, I met Gongzi, who is really a very good person." β
"How old were you then?" Jiang Chengzi asked.
"Six years ago, I was eight years old. The snow was falling heavily, and it was as cold as an ice cellar. My grandmother hugged me tightly and couldn't open my eyes. I thought we were going to die-" Nian Qing said this, her voice became softer and softer, she bit her lip tightly for a while, and after taking a deep breath, her expression eased a lot, and she smiled softly, and continued in a soft tone, "Girl, do you know? Childe's chariot stopped, goose feathers and snow were flying, and Childe, who was only five years old at the time, was dressed in fur, and the guards next to him held an umbrella for him, and he came slowly. β
When Nian Qing said this, a sweet smile appeared on her lips, and the whole person seemed to be immersed in the beauty of the day. She looked at the mist of water, her eyes softened, and she continued to tell the scene of the day in an extremely soft voice.
In the ice and snow, the ragged grandparents and grandchildren hugged each other on the streets of a foreign land to keep warm, but the temperature dropped again and again, and the grandparents and grandchildren's bodies gradually stiffened, and even their consciousness became sluggish. Just when both the grandfather and grandson thought that they would die, a nobleman's chariot came slowly and stopped in front of them. Nian Qing opened her eyes and saw Yang Chen, who was dressed in fur, getting out of the car and slowly walking in front of her.
In the heavy snow at dusk, Nian Qing saw the little boy in front of him, dressed in aristocratic attire and with a pair of unusually bright eyes.
"Girl, the maid will always remember his expression when he first saw the son, and the little one frowned slightly, and there was sympathy and pity in the eyes of the servant. When Nian Qing said this, although she tried her best to restrain herself, she still shed tears.
She took out a handkerchief from her bosom to wipe her tears, apologized for her gaffe, and finally managed to control her emotions before she continued, her son-in-law stood still in front of her, and slowly asked her if she would like to follow him from now on. Nian Qing struggled with her frozen body, and used all her strength before she answered "I do" several times in a trembling voice.
Whether those several times of "I do" reverberated between heaven and earth, Nian Qing didn't know. Because she was on the verge of death at that time, there was even a moment when she suspected that it was a hallucination. However, it was still not a hallucination, Yang Chen took her and her grandmother, and the two repaired in Hongnong for three days, and when the two of them recovered almost physically, they returned to Taiyuan together.
"Back to Taiyuan?" Jiang Chengzi asked suspiciously, and then remembered that Li Ke had been living in Taiyuan with Concubine Yang Shu before Li Shimin became King Qin, so he would naturally bring Nianqing back to Taiyuan.
"Yes. Childe did not live in Chang'an before, but in Taiyuan. Two years ago, Childe's family moved to Chang'an. Nian Qing replied.
Jiang Chengzi nodded while judging Fang Cai Nianqing's performance, and it seemed that this Nianqing was not lying. It's just that who is the traverser, this conversation has not even touched the surface.
"Girl. Are you going to get up?" Nian Qing watched her movements and hurriedly asked.
Jiang Chengzi also felt that Paode had been long enough, so he nodded. Nian Qing hurriedly took a clean handkerchief to wipe her body. and brought her new clothes to change into. When changing clothes, Jiang Chengzi asked: "Your son-in-law's cake is fragrant, I don't know who the teacher is?"
"The servant doesn't know about this. I only heard that Childe has been dreaming since he was a child. In his dreams, there were fairies who discussed with him, and every time he woke up, he got something. Nian Qing replied, and then said. "Childe's method of making cakes and tea, it is said that it came from the fairy in the dream. β
Dreaming of fairies, fairies teach various skills!!!
Tut-tut, this is the same as her fabrication, "In the past few years, my soul has left my body and practiced with my master in Xianshan." I have no choice but to return because of the assassination of a bad person", what is the difference between this excuse?
It seems that Yang Chen may really be a traverser. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made up a dream of a fairy in order to hide the source of his chrono skills.
Thinking that the traverser is likely to be Yang Chen, and it is also likely to be Li Ke. Jiang Chengzi was actually very eager to see if he would come before his tragic fate came. What to do.
Of course, in fact, she traveled to the early Tang Dynasty, in this world, she was very lonely, because no one could understand the things she was familiar with; Others won't know, or even think she's insane. She would love to have a modern person to talk to. It's good to say whatever you want. Therefore, at this time, knowing that Yang Chen might be a traverser, Jiang Chengzi had a faint impulse in his heart, and wanted to run over and say: Hey, I am from Shanghai in the 21st century, where is your hometown?
But she knew she couldn't at this point. Mo said that he hadn't finally confirmed that he was a traverser, and even if he was, he had to confirm that he was absolutely safe and harmless to himself and the Yang family's six rooms before he could recognize each other.
"The name of the servant was given by the son. When I met Childe, Childe had not been able to dream of the fairy for a long time. He had been lonely and dull. Nianqing may have wanted to talk to someone about all this a long time ago, talking about these things about her own son-in-law in her heart, but there is no such person to listen to her. So, she has been silent.
Today, Jiang Chengzi took the initiative to arouse the topic, and Nianqing still had some scruples and reservations at first. After that, he opened the conversation box and talked about the magical encounter of his son-in-law. It is said that after the fairy gave him many skills, he violated the rules of heaven and was reincarnated in the mortal world.
Jiang Chengzi was dumbfounded when he heard this. It seems that after Yang Chen crossed over, he was lonely for too long, and he began to make up stories to fool people, and even used the plot of the rotten street of mortal reincarnation.
"Reincarnation?" Jiang Chengzi tried his best to hold back a laugh, pretending to be surprised.
Nian Qing nodded very seriously and replied, "Yes." Childe said that the fairy had come to say goodbye before leaving, and said that if there was a fate in the sea of people, they would definitely meet. Therefore, Childe has been looking for the fairy in his dreams all these years. And the name of the servant, the name is given by the son, and the meaning is to miss the beauty. β
"I see. Jiang Chengzi looked suddenly enlightened.
"Girl, the weather is very good, but it is cold in Shuzhong, so let's put on this cloak. Nian Qing suggested.
Jiang Chengzi let her match properly, and then said that he was not hungry, refused the tea and pastries and went straight out of the soup spring house. Nian Qing muttered in a low voice and said, "Girl, it's good for you to taste it." You see, King Wei went to my son-in-law every day, just to ask for food. β
"Wei Wangzi is different from others. This time, I really can't eat, and you receive it in my room, and I eat when I'm hungry. Jiang Chengzi commanded.
Nian Qing got the order, so she went to pack biscuits and tea. Jiang Chengzi stood alone outside the Tangquan House, stretching his limbs in front of the warm sunlight. After soaking in the spring just now, she faintly felt that there was a hot flow all over her limbs, and the whole person felt energetic and light.
She was about to jump around the no-man's land, when she saw a figure in blue moving in the depths of the flowers, coming this way.
Jiang Chengzi hurriedly acted like a lady, put on her hat, and pretended to enjoy the flowers on the side, but her eyes kept watching the movements of the blue-clothed man in the depths of the flowers. After a while, the man turned out of the path deep in the flowers, but it was Yang Chen who had changed into clothes.
He stood in the open path along the flowery path, looking at this side from afar, with a smile as warm and clear as the sun on his face. The small cherry blossoms fell one after another, like a grand rain of flowers.
"You, come here. He beckoned to her, his voice soft.
Although his actions were not in line with etiquette, Jiang Chengzi didn't want to care, so he took his skirt and slowly stepped over the moss-covered bluestone steps, and walked down in front of him. His voice became softer and gentle, and he asked, "Is the soup spring still comfortable?"
"Extremely comfortable. She replied.
He laughed, ignoring the etiquette, and then said, "I think you must like it." β
"Pavilions, pavilions, grass and trees, decorative patterns, are all ingenious, making people forget to return. Jiang Chengzi is still polite.
When Yang Chen heard her praise, he smiled heartily and said, "If you like it, you can do it." β
Jiang Chengzi said "um", and she didn't know what to say, although she wanted to ask what year he belonged to in that time and space, which might be the same time traveler.
The two stood face to face in silence in the depths of the flowers. After a while, Yang Chen sighed and said, "I wanted to stay in Yizhou for a few more days, but the imperial court was urging me tightly, and I might have to leave the day after tomorrow." β
"Can the guard escort plan be submitted?" Jiang Chengzi immediately changed from the scene of the wind and snow, and immediately went straight to the topic with the quality of a special soldier.
He nodded and said, "It was drawn up yesterday." β
Jiang Chengzi didn't seem to want to say more, and it was inconvenient to ask, so he only picked out innocuous words and chatted casually. The two of them went all the way from Yuquanyuan to Zhonghe Garden. Zhonghe Garden is considered to be the place where the owner of the house lives, and now Yang Chen and Li Tai live in this garden, while Jiang Chengzi and Nian Qing live together in the courtyard of the hostess Zilai Pavilion behind the male protagonist's garden.
The two walked all the way from Tangquanyuan to Zhonghe Garden, during which they gossiped homely. However, most of the time it was Jiang Chengzi who was asking, and Yang Chen answered some dull and painful answers lightly. Jiang Chengzi realized that he didn't want to talk to her too much, so he also shut up.
Li Tai had been sulking in Zhonghe Garden for a long time, because he wanted to stay here for ten days and a half months, but he was ruthlessly vetoed by the guards, ministers, and Yang Chen, with only one reason: extraordinary times. Then a few personal guards had already helped him pack his things, and he was reluctant to leave, so they tied him back to Chang'an.
"Azhi, Azhi. Talk to him about how many days you will stay. When Li Tai saw Jiang Chengzi coming, he jumped over and begged pitifully.
Jiang Chengzi's face was embarrassed, just looking at Yang Chen. Yang Chen was expressionless, and said directly: "King Wei should not be willful, in extraordinary times, there is a crisis in Shuzhong, and the thieves will be eliminated in the coming day, and the King of Wei will come to Yizhou to play again." β
"Thisβ" Li Tai pouted, looking unhappy, and that look looked like he might cry at any moment.
"You clean up, go back to Chang'an, and I'll give you my pastry chef. Yang Chen saw that Li Tai was really unhappy, so he opened another way to lure.
Li Tai was originally a foodie, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately changed his attention and asked in surprise: "Really?"
"How could I have broken my promise?" Yang Chen asked rhetorically.
Li Tai had already staggered into the house and took the initiative to guide the guards to pack up his belongings. He paced back and forth, but in the end he was still not very willing to enjoy the beautiful scenery and food in Shuzhong, so he poked his head out of the window and asked aloud: "Ah Chen, when the thieves in Yizhou are cleared, you have to bring me with you when you come to Yizhou." I'll take a look at Ah Zhi. β
"Naturally. Yang Chen replied nonchalantly.
Li Tai was a little worried, so he said again: "Then at that time, you want to allow me to visit your house, but if you don't say that it is a house prepared for your future sister-in-law, I will not be allowed to visit." β
Hey, this yard is for the future sister-in-law.
Didn't Ah Nian say that it was an ownerless mansion that was seized by the imperial court? At this time, listening to Li Tai, this mansion seemed to be prepared by Yang Chen for his future wife. (To be continued......)
