Chapter 581: Nightmare
"Good. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Zhang Jia replied dryly. Although he wanted to spend more time with Ah Zhi, he had no choice but to say that he just had something to say. Moreover, with Chai Lingwu here, he can't say some things directly.
Forget it, anyway, I have already arrived in Chang'an, and I will also enter the court as an official in the future. With such proximity, there are so many opportunities. So, he simply agreed.
"Brother Jinhua is a fast talker. Chai Lingwu gave a thumbs up.
Zhang Jia just smiled, looked at Jiang Chengzi again and said, "Ah Zhi, Chang'an City is surging this time. People from all walks of life have evil intentions, and if you want to set things right, you must not take the eldest grandson lightly this time. ”
"What should I do? You just can't despise the Changsun clan, who doesn't know this?" Chai Lingwu smiled sarcastically.
He and Li Ke are cousins, and they are also buddies, and now this is obviously Li Ke's rival in love, and he is still a fierce rival. He instinctively doesn't like him.
"Then Mr. Chai has paid attention to the Lanling Xiao Clan?" Zhang Jia asked solemnly.
"Lanling Xiao Clan?" Chai Lingwu frowned slightly.
He is not a real straw bag, and he also knows a thing or two about these big families. This Lanling Xiao clan has always been very powerful, especially Qi Liang's lineage, which is really the essence of the human spirit. In the past, the four major families of Wang Xie and Yuan Xiao suffered changes and had to travel south in clothes and live abroad. And Wang Xie Yuan is in inexorable decline, only the Xiao family, to be precise, the Qi Liang house in the Xiao family in Lanling is really standing and deep-rooted, and it has penetrated into the homes of the major famous families in the north.
Among them, Yang Guang's Empress Xiao is this one. Now I am thinking that Xiao Yu is also this one. Moreover, today, the Xiao family is still married to the Guanlong Group, and it has long been in the same breath as the Guanlong Group.
"The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind. The eldest grandson is playing with praying mantis, and the Xiao family may be playing with yellow birds. Zhang Jia said expressionlessly.
Jiang Chengzi frowned. Regarding the fact that the Lanling Xiao clan might play a bigger game of chess, it had been dug up when Hongnong's ancestral mansion dealt with the matter of the old lady. The person who is most likely to collude with the Turks and want to subvert the Tang Dynasty may be the careerist in the Xiao family.
Every Haoqiang tries to return to the era when famous families can cover the sky with one hand, support the emperor, and make the imperial court a puppet to serve the famous family. The famous family has the most elite private soldiers, who can wield swords in all directions.
The head of a famous family, that is, the emperor has to give three points.
At that time, it was the dream of all famous families. It was an era that all famous families wanted to recreate, especially those who came from that era.
It's just that the five nonsense are chaotic, and the fragile system of the Central Plains has been broken by the iron hooves of the north, and at the same time, there are also famous foreign strong and middle-class cadres.
After crossing to the south, these famous families are still nostalgic for the glory of the past and have dreams of returning to the past. So, they did not hesitate to drill into the camp and research, and did their best. Later, they discovered that the power of the famous family was rapidly declining. The power of the emperor is becoming more and more concentrated, and more terrifying things happened in the previous dynasty, and Yang Guang, who they supported with one hand, wanted to wipe out the famous family. The chaos of the fish dying and the net was broken, and it became the Tang Dynasty today.
Although the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not as dead as Yang Guang, he shows favor to all famous families and reuses virtuous people. But every head of the family knows that today's emperor is the one who can't really control and can't figure it out.
But they didn't dare to move Li Shimin easily, after all, after a war in the previous dynasty, all families needed to recuperate, and the world could not withstand another war.
As a result, each family's plan is the next generation of emperors. Whoever controls the next generation of emperors will be able to become a real famous family again, and the power will dominate the world.
The eldest grandson Wuji chose to abandon his nephews Li Chengqian and Li Tai, who could not be controlled, and personally supported Li Zhi, the king of Jin, to ascend to the throne. It's just that what he didn't expect was that the Hongnong Yang clan directly messed up the world with Wu Meiniang, the daughter of a relative, and the eldest grandson family was directly destroyed.
As for what benefits Hongnong Yang has received, there is not a single word left in the chapter of history. But in the context of history, there will probably be no good results. After all, the old system of famous families cannot come again, and the glory of famous families cannot be reproduced.
These are the histories that Jiang Chengzi knows, plus the cognition in Hongnong's fight, but now what Zhang Jia says, she believes.
"You are so sure, don't you have any evidence?" Jiang Chengzi asked directly.
Zhang Jia chuckled and said, "The Xiao clan will probably stand still. ”
"Then why is the yellow finch behind?" Chai Lingwu asked.
"The eldest grandson wants to deal with Li Ke and Li Tai and support Li Chengqian. However, Li Chengqian is afraid that he is also an outcast, because I heard that the queen is about to give birth. The eldest grandson Wuji is very concerned about the queen's body and the child in the queen's womb. Zhang Jia said softly, "If it is a little prince, the last bit of patience that Uncle Guo has for the prince will disappear." ”
"Eldest Sun Wuji is so ruthless?" Chai Lingwu asked loudly.
"People are not ruthless, and they are not stable. His eldest grandson is a second-rate family, and if he wants to be among the forefront, it is not easy to have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Zhang Jia said coldly. In his previous life, if it weren't for that hateful ancestral teaching, he wouldn't have killed Ah Zhi at the last moment to help the eldest grandson.
"Huh. yes, yes. I said that why so many people in the eldest grandson family have been sick recently, and they keep asking for gynecologists and stable women. I thought it was Changsun Chong's wife who was going to give him a little brother again. Chai Lingwu suddenly realized.
Jiang Chengzi didn't want to listen to these things that she had known for a long time, she asked directly: "Tell me what the Lanling Xiao clan means." ”
"Lanling Xiao Clan, if you want to make a comeback, you naturally can't follow the path of the eldest grandson Wuji. After all, there is no one in the Xiao family who is a queen. However, they have one who is a princess. Zhang Jia looked at Jiang Chengzi as he spoke.
"You said that concubine in the Shu Palace?" Jiang Chengzi asked.
"yes. It's also a way. Zhang Jia said.
"Well, with Ah Zhi here, they don't even think about it. Chai Lingwu felt very uncomfortable, this was slandering behind someone's back. Take advantage of the absence of the husband and the gentleman to speak ill in front of the lady.
"What if Ah Zhi is not there? What if Li Ke is not there again? And then Xiao Shi is happy again?" Zhang Jia said.
"What you say is outrageous. If they go to such great lengths, it is better to directly install someone in the prince's mansion, or give birth to a little prince in the harem. Jiang Chengzi said.
"Do you think they didn't do it? The Xiao clan is best at marrying daughters. Xiao Meiren, who was just sent in the harem, is said to be a natural stunner. And the Prince's Mansion also has it. Li Tai also has it, which is very obscure. However, Li Tai is very interesting. He directly refused, saying that he was still young, and he wanted to concentrate on studying the geography of the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty. As for your prince-to-be brother-in-law, hehe, he is weighing whether to accept Xiao's overtures. Zhang Jia said, throwing a stack of information to Jiang Chengzi.
Jiang Chengzi stretched out her hand to catch it, and flipped through it casually, it was all spy information of the Zhang family, which was the same as what Zhang Jia said, so she put it aside casually.
"What do you mean the Xiao clan is going to deal with me?" Jiang Chengzi asked calmly.
"That's not what I meant, it's what they're going to do. Zhang Jia said solemnly, "I guess you have also seen their methods." ”
"After entering the mountain, do they really have the confidence to deal with me?" Jiang Chengzi's tone was still calm.
"In their consciousness, no matter how powerful you are, you are still a girl. The King of Shu is not around, you are completely in a strange environment, no matter how powerful Qin Shubao is, he can't protect you. Zhang Jia said slowly.
Jiang Chengzi showed a disdainful smile, pulled the corners of his mouth, his expression returned to calm again, and said coldly: "I don't consider the tricks of these jumping clowns. ”
"Azhi, it's always good to be careful. Zhang Jia sighed.
"Since you know and say it's my friend, then please clean up all these clowns. Jiang Chengzi's tone was a little aggressive.
Zhang Jia was suddenly blindsided. From the previous life to the present, the last thing she wants is to beg him, and she doesn't want him to be involved in anything. In his previous life, he didn't understand. Later, after a lifetime, he suddenly understood that her actions in the previous life were to protect him.
And she doesn't want to beg him in this life, because she doesn't like him and doesn't want to be implicated with him.
Now, she suddenly said this, Zhang Jia was suddenly stunned in place?
"What's the matter? Brother Jinhua is unwilling, or is it just a scene and polite words before?" Jiang Chengzi asked rhetorically, his tone full of mockery.
"If you are willing to eat, you can't ask for it. When Zhang Jia said this, his heart became even more bitter.
He really wanted to be able to fight side by side with her, to protect her justifiably, to be able to stand by her side. But now that I look forward to this sentence, it is so bitter.
"In that case, I will hand over the Lanling Xiao clan to Brother Jinhua. Jiang Chengzi said and stood up, "It's not too early, I still have something to do." ”
"Ah Zhi. When Zhang Jia saw that she was leaving, he panicked all of a sudden, and hurriedly stood up and shouted.
"Anything else?" Jiang Chengzi asked.
Her expression was very calm, he pursed his lips, there were some words that were present to others, and he couldn't say it, so he just shook his head and said, "Nothing else." I just want to say that I will take care of what you explain. ”
"Thank you. Jiang Chengzi said politely.
Zhang Jia just smiled and got up to send them out.
Jiang Chengzi walked out and looked at this small courtyard, only then did he feel very familiar, as if he had come to this small courtyard in a trance, and had talked to people and eaten in this hall. The tall trees in the courtyard, with their lush foliage, cast a shade.
She stood under the tree, and suddenly felt that when she walked out of this gate, it should be an apricot forest, with large patches of apricots. In spring, there are patches of apricot blossoms, and when the wind blows, they are fluttering and sprinkling, and they are beautiful.
She was a little stunned, and it wasn't until Chai Lingwu shouted "Ah Zhi" in a low voice that she came back to her senses, and couldn't help but look at Zhang Jia on the side. He was looking at her, Jiang Chengzi lowered his eyes embarrassedly, and asked, "This is the place where you know the person in your heart?"
Zhang Jia was stunned for a moment, the one in his heart? Who is in his heart? Isn't it her?
"Who?" he asked, and immediately understood what she meant, with Chai Lingwu present, she naturally inconvenient to ask if it was the place where they met.
"The one you have in mind. The one who is gone. She reminded.
And sure enough, it was!
Zhang Jia's heart was bitter, and there was a hint of sweetness, and he chuckled and said, "Yes." ”
"There was a big road out of the house, and there was a big apricot grove on the other side of the road, right?" she asked.
"Yes. Zhang Jia's tone was a little excited.
In this life, Ah Zhi can't remember the events of her previous life, but it is said that she often has nightmares, and her dreams are full of various horrific episodes from her previous life, including the scene where he killed her. Now, she remembers.
"There should also be a peach tree on the edge of the apricot grove, always full of peach blossoms and never bearing fruit. She seemed to be caught up in the memories.
Zhang Jia's eyes were moist because of these words. Under that peach blossom tree is the place where they met. Childhood sweethearts, two little guesses. She often came to him through the apricot grove and ate cooking cakes at his house. His mother's cakes were so fragrant that she could eat several.
Later, he often thought: If he was not so outstanding, the Zhang clan would not choose him to do the patriarch training, then they would keep going. She won't marry Li Ke, he will always be with her, right?
It's just that there is no if in everything. In his last life, he was confused for a while and killed her. In this life, I am not qualified to have her, all I can do is protect her, guard her, and see her happiness.
Before, he knew that she couldn't remember her past life, he had been happy, if he couldn't remember, he could not hate him, he could be by her side, but he felt sad, she couldn't remember the past, and even the good things they had forgotten.
Now, she seems to be reminded of some of the good things of the past. He felt his heart pound out of his chest.
"Well, there's another cherry tree that's the same, it always has pink and white flowers, and it never bears fruit. He replied, tears in his eyes.
Jiang Chengzi nodded, then looked at Zhang Jia with a strange expression with a calm face, smiled slightly, and said, "However, you have experienced a lot now that you have not experienced before, right?"
"Yes. Zhang Jia replied.
In this life, history has deviated from the previous life. At least, the Zhang family no longer has the training to protect history, and the Zhang family is not the head of the nine major families, although many of the Zhang family's systems are still there.
The changes in the Zhang family made him realize that this life was different from the previous one. Later, different experiences and the appearance of different people made him clearly feel that this was not a repetition of the previous life.
"Well, it's a new life. Right?" she still smiled, her face calm.
He looked at her sincere smile, felt very peaceful inside, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes." ”
"Since it's a new life, don't dwell on the past. The people of the past are gone, so don't be nostalgic for yesterday. For the golden years of God's gift, we must cherish and enjoy it. Her voice was calm, and when she said that, her eyes were shining with a smile, and her eyebrows were like crescent moons, just as they had when they first met.
She said it well, and she was reassuring him to forget the past and live well.
However, he just couldn't smoothly return to the word "good", just looked at her quietly, his eyes were full of sadness, but his face was smiling.
"Isn't it good? You see the sky is blue and the water is blue, and the wind is gentle. People come and go, bustling. What a blessing it is to be alive. What's more, you and I are alive and healthy, and I can do a lot of things that I want to do. Jiang Chengzi said again.
She didn't know what evil she had fallen into, and when she walked into this courtyard, she suddenly felt his sorrow, his despair, and a faint pain in her heart. So, I said something like this.
"I tried my best. He finally found the right words to answer. But I added in my heart: I can forget the past, but I can't forget you and abandon the memories that belong to us.
"You have to work hard. Jiang Chengzi was still smiling.
"Good. He could only reply mechanically, looking at her smiling face, and feeling very satisfied: he thought that in this life, she would not smile sincerely at her. However, today, her smile is extraordinarily sincere, just as it was back then.
"Then I'll get busy first. When we're done, we'll get together again. When the time comes, it will be up to my brother-in-law to do the host. Jiang Chengzi walked to the door, and when he pushed the firewood, he said mischievously.
"Why am I?" Chai Lingwu shouted.
"Because you're a snake on the ground, you can play. She said crisply.
"I'm sorry, your Li Ke is. Chai Lingwu shouted all the way out of the door of Zhang's mansion.
Zhang Jia was already far behind, he looked at her distant back, thinking about everything just now, and stood for a long time. Then, he turned around and entered the secret room, handing a list to Tie Yun, his personal guard.
"It's clean, it's a big family, after all. He said coldly.
"Yes. Tie Yun turned away expressionlessly. Zhang Jia went up to the tall building alone, hugged the Fengtong guqin, which had not been played for a long time, and played a song "Wind Swinging Green Bamboo". This song was taught to him by her, and it was the first time he learned the piano.
