Chapter 107: The Old Man
When King Yan came back in triumph in March, he brought two people that Zhang Zhaohua hadn't thought she would meet, so when she saw these two people, she stared at them and seemed to be in a dream: "Aunt Ma, Lan Lan-"
Although it has been a year and a half, she will not admit her mistake, the middle-aged woman standing in front of her is Ma Widow, one of the ten households under the rule of Zhang Qi in Zhangjia Village, Yongcheng, and the girl who is delicate but frightened like a rabbit around her is Lan Lan, the only daughter of Ma Widow.

When they saw Zhang Zhaohua, they seemed to finally have a feeling of letting go in the panic, thinking that they had finally met an acquaintance, Zhang Zhaohua saw that the two of them looked tired, and they were still trekking all the way, I don't know what was going on, why did they come to Beiping, and they were brought back by King Yan himself in the army?
The horse widow pulled Lan Lan and was about to kneel and kowtow, but Zhang Zhaohua hurriedly stopped her one by one and said, "Why should my aunt be like this!
Ma Shi snorted: "Sister Hua, you are a noble person now......"
"You can call me Sister Hua," Zhang Zhaohua sighed: "In front of the people in her hometown, Sister Hua is still the same Sister Hua, there is no difference." ”
She asked why she came to Beiping, and seeing that Aunt Ma seemed to have something hidden between her teeth, Zhang Zhaohua looked at King Yan and Princess Yan on the side, and saw that these two were looking at her with a smile, so she said: "Father, mother, Aunt Ma and Lan Lan are from my township, close the door, and see each other, but I don't know, why-"
King Yan said Lan Lan's life experience, it turned out that she was the last bit of blood of Xue Xian, the Marquis of Yongcheng, Xue Xian had been kind to King Yan back then, and now he is dead, and has no heirs, King Yan knows that he still has an illegitimate daughter in the world, and he has been looking for it for the past two years, he sent a sergeant, so that the king of Zhou, whose fief is in Luoyang, also helped to find people, and finally asked him to find it, it is Lan Lan, and the horse widow is the good son of Xue Xian who was robbed on the march back then.
Zhang Zhaohua knew that there was such a story, so she said: "Sixteen years, I don't know the flowers and plants next door, it is actually Qiongbao Yushu!" It should have been a blue blue raised by brocade clothes and jade food, but she has been growing up in rough clothes, and the horse widow raised her alone, and she didn't squeak in the world, thinking about how a woman is displaced in the troubled times, the strange horse widow has a bad temper, I don't know how much torture and suffering in the world she has endured, and seeing that her temples are now white, I can't help but let Zhang Zhaohua sigh.
"Sister Hua, two years ago, your family suffered a catastrophe," Widow Ma recalled: "You went to Jingshi, and within a few days someone came to harass you, and the village drove people away, the old grain chief said that your family couldn't stay, let your mother and them go to Beijing overnight, we were all angry and hateful, but there was nothing we could do, I didn't expect you to be enlightened and become a nobleman, and the government also came to our village, and we were exempted from paying taxes for a year, and our whole village was so happy that we didn't know how to get better, everyone was stained, but the old grain chief's family——"
Zhang Zhaohua said: "Auntie, don't worry, the grain chief is in Yunnan, and there is also a settlement, and it will soon be time to review the prison, and this case will definitely come out one day. ”
Widow Ma was able to follow the people sent by King Zhou back to Beiping because King Yan promised her that he would let Lan Lan recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and let Lan Lan have a good home. In this era, even if Widow Ma hated Xue Xian back then and hated not being able to eat meat and bedding, Xue Xian also did something that made her grateful to Dade, so that their mother and daughter had peace for so many years.
"In the end, it is the species of the Xue family," the horse widow looked at Lan Lan who was shrinking with her head down, and her eyes showed endless sadness: "I used the surname Zhang back then, but now I can change it back to the Xue family, and you are not a child who was bullied and had no father." ”
Back then, Lanlan's father, Xue Xian, also did a lot of immoral things on her, and the horse widow couldn't completely let go of it when she thought about it, but she remembered what Xue Xian said when he got her back to Yongcheng: "It's good to have children and daughters, you raise him, leave me a mouthful of blood to eat, see you in Huangquan, I will kowtow to you to make amends." ”
"Although the Xue family is out of business," Yan Wang said: "But it is not extinct, Xue Hou Ye has accumulated kindness and has more than enough Qing, his kindness, I always remember." From now on, Lan Lan will restore the surname Xue, and she will be the righteous daughter recognized by my Zhu Di. ”
Although the widow Ma couldn't even call it, but King Yan and the princess had already recognized this righteous daughter, and it immediately spread all over the mansion and beyond, although Xue Lanlan's life experience could not be made public, but it did not prevent everyone from seeing the clues from the attitude of the superior, it was originally going to be organized, but Zhang Zhaohua just had a flower banquet to do, so he took this opportunity to announce Lanlan's new identity.
Zhang Zhaohua and the wives of these generals also slowly got acquainted, knowing that they were indeed unpretentious, and they came happily when they heard that there was wine, but in the end they still didn't let them have fun, because Lan Lan came out to see them at the banquet, and everyone re-restrained, and they didn't drink much of the dozen jars of chrysanthemum wine they had prepared.
This scene is also very interesting, because everyone is almost a northern woman, and they are cheerful, seeing such a soft and graceful girl as Lan Lan, they are a little at a loss, like a shrunken little rabbit, everyone can't help but lower their voices when they see it, afraid of scaring it.
However, what makes Zhang Zhaohua happy is that although Lan Lan has always been timid, she is not so frightened that she is incoherent, she just speaks less. When the banquet was over, Zhang Zhaohua also saw Mrs. Zhang Yu holding Lan Lan's hand, as if she had said something more, and it could be seen that she liked Lan Lan a lot.
That's good, everyone is a smart person, no one asks what Lan Lan's identity is, and they all look up at her, Zhang Zhaohua's goal is achieved.
At the end of the banquet, Zhang Zhaohua personally sent the ladies to the door, the carriage stopped outside the door, after saying goodbye one by one, there was only the Wang family, waiting at the door for a while and did not see the Zhang family car and horse to pick up, Zhang Zhaohua was ready to call the carriage and horse in the house to send people home, at this time finally in the cold wind came a car, close to the jump under a agile figure.
"Brother Fu," the Dawang clan said angrily, "Why are you here in person!"
It turned out that the person who came was Zhang Fu, and said: "Our carriage took off the spokes, and when the news came back, I went to rent a pair, did the mother wait for a long time? It's all the child's fault." ”
Where is the Dawang clan willing to complain, just pretending to complain for a few words, Zhang Fu came over to help her, but she didn't expect the night wind to blow up his cloak, which happened to blow the corner of the blue eye standing on Zhang Zhaohua's right hand, and she couldn't help but scream slightly.
Da Wang and Zhang Zhaohua were both startled and hurriedly asked, but Lan Lan just rubbed his eyes and whispered that it was okay. After the Dawang clan confirmed that there was no problem, he came back to his senses and glared at Zhang Fu fiercely several times, Zhang Fu was also a little at a loss, as if he wanted to apologize, but he really couldn't say it.
Zhang Zhaohua saw that the faces of the two were red and white, and it seemed that a terrible idea had taken root in her heart, she couldn't help but chuckle, said a few words to relieve the siege, and asked Zhang Fu to take Mrs. Wang back in the carriage.
After she saw Zhang Fu riding on the horse, she seemed to look back at them and take a look at this situation, and her mind was more determined, and when she looked at Lan Lan again, she saw her covering the corners of her eyes, and when she looked closely, there seemed to be a red mark that was not shallow.
Zhang Zhaohua pulled her back, it would be much better to put on a little jade muscle powder, Lan Lan said at this time that her skin was thinner, and she could leave a mark if she was not careful, Zhang Zhaohua smiled: "This cream-like skin, I don't know who will be used in the future!"
After finishing speaking, he regretted it, and he was also influenced by these ladies, and they didn't have many scruples when they talked together, so that Zhang Zhaohua forgot the identity of the other person in front of such a yellow flower girl, and sure enough, seeing Lan Lan's face burning in shame, Zhang Zhaohua hurriedly made amends and covered up this topic, but she couldn't help but laugh genuinely in her heart, if what she thought could come true, it would not be far away.
