Chapter Seventy-Nine: Confession
The rain is getting heavier.
The people who lived near the hillside were hit by the seedlings, and a large amount of mud poured down. Bochang Reservoir is the largest reservoir in Beijing, and the irrigation of farmland in central Beijing depends on the water diversion here, but the rain rises fiercely, and the water in the reservoir overflows, and the reservoir also has the risk of toppling. Xuanli led his subordinates to control the water, temporarily suppressing the momentum of rising water.
In the Champion Mansion, the young Champion Lang stood in front of the window, frowning and contemplating as he watched the rain.
Mrs. Liu walked in with brown sugar ginger soup, put the bowl on the table, and when she saw Liu Min like this, she sighed and said, "What kind of evil is this, it has harmed many people in vain." "They were originally born in the common people, and they empathized with the suffering of the people, if it weren't for the fact that Liu Min had now entered the court as an official, I am afraid that they would also be displaced like these people, hungry and cold.
Liu Min patted Mrs. Liu's shoulder and said comfortingly: "Mother don't worry, everything will pass." ”
"If it weren't for General Zhao's distribution of grain for disaster relief, I don't know how many people would have starved to death." Mrs. Liu sighed: "General Zhao is a good official, you are in the court, you can get close to him." ”
Liu Min bowed. However, the rain will fall endlessly, and one day Zhao Guang's money will be spent, and this matter can only solve the urgent need, not a long-term solution. He remembered that a few days ago, the Eighth Prince enthusiastically asked him for his views on the flood, and the Eighth Prince looked at it to help curb the flood. But how can a person who really cares about the world think about everything from him.
Liu Min sighed almost invisibly, the water in the court is not shallow, and only when he is in it does he know that it is difficult to move in all directions.
For more than ten days, the soup kitchen never stopped, and the capital gradually calmed down, if there was any new news, it was that the city garrison had caught a group of robbers pretending to be homeless people in Chongxinzhuang, east of the city. On that day, the garrison of the city was not enough, and the garrison borrowed a group of people from Jing Zhaoyin, and it was a fierce battle when they arrived in Chongxinzhuang, and it was easy to subdue the robbers and put them in prison, but those robbers committed suicide in prison overnight.
While the people of the capital applauded, they were also worried that the city was so unpeaceful that life would be even more difficult in the future. The garrison of Jingzhong City raised their eyebrows because of this incident.
Ruan is in the center, Jiang Ruan is leaning on the couch embroidery, in the past on the Zhuangzi because of the persecution of Zhang Lan's family, embroidery day and night, the hand has a dead callus. Reliving a life, she hated the mutilated limbs of the previous life and death, and she did not want to leave any scars on her body in this life, so after returning to the Jiang Mansion, the embroidery work was thrown aside. These days, all the dead calluses on his hands have fallen off, and they have become white and tender again, and they look like the hands of everyone's young lady, so they have picked up these things again.
Dew Drop walked in from outside, looked at no one around, and Fang approached Jiang Ruan and whispered: "Girl, someone from the General's Mansion is here, I want to see the soup kitchener." ”
Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "Is it from the General's Mansion?" ”
"There is a seal, and it doesn't look like a fake." Dew Drop said, "Girl, how do you get back to them?" ”
Jiang Ruan put down the embroidery in his hand, picked up the celadon teacup on the side, gently rubbed the edge of the teacup, and said, "Just say that I will visit me early tomorrow morning." ”
"Girl?" Dew was stunned.
Jiang Ruan said: "Go ahead." ”
The Zhao family, since they have made such a request, they have made up their minds to meet them. Fortunately, the day when Jiang Xinzhi returns home is getting closer and closer, it is too difficult for her to do it on her own, and the chips are on the bright side, depending on whether the Zhao family is willing to give this favor.
The Zhao family in Beijing got the news, Zhao Guang's face was solemn, a few days ago Zhao Yi detained a group of homeless people in Chongxinzhuang, according to what Zhao Yi said, those people are guards with martial arts, and they will never be ordinary homeless. And it is not easy to commit suicide in the prison overnight. Whose handwriting it is, Zhao Guang can also guess one or two points. I heard that the gate of the Eight Princes' Mansion in Beijing has been closed in recent days, and it is said that a large number of guards have been executed.
The young lady that Zhao Yi said he met, Zhao Guang's father and son all thought that the person behind the back and the person who gave the porridge must be the same person, such as Xuanli's practice, that person should be against Xuanli, and for the Zhao family, he also helped the Zhao family several times. It's just that now everything can't be said too much, the identity of the other party is undecided, what if it is the trajectory of Xuan's departure? They asked someone to go to the place where the soup was giving and asked to see the person behind them, but the other party said that they would come to visit him the next day. This kind of behavior is really unpredictable.
Zhao Yuanjia said: "Dad, since that person dares to come to visit, he must have made sufficient preparations, should we also arrange it?" ”
"No need," a hint of contemplation crossed Zhao Yuanping's shrewd eyes: "I think that the other party is doing this to show that there is no malice, at least there will be no conflict with us in the General's Mansion." ”
"It doesn't matter if he has a conflict or not," Zhao Yuanfeng said indifferently: "What are we afraid of the people raised by the general's mansion, is it a god or a ghost who will be beaten up first, isn't it honest?" ”
"Shut up," Zhao Guang was glared at by Zhao Yuanfeng's words: "You can't fucking have a long brain?" The second child is right, but in case that person plays any tricks, first settle your wife and Yulong. ”
"Second brother," Zhao Yuanfeng pushed the smartest Zhao Yuanping: "Who do you think that person is?" ”
"I don't know what to do." Zhao Yuanping shook his head: "We have all seen Dad's colleagues, it can't be one of them." Anyway, tomorrow we will know who Lu Dao is. ”
This night, the Zhao family did not sleep very peacefully. Early the next morning, Jiang Ruan went out in a carriage. Lin Zixiang will give her a post every once in a while, and Xia Yan wants to maintain a gentle and considerate motherly appearance, but there is no reason to stop her. And she has been busy with Jiang Susu's affairs in the past few days, Jiang Quan's attitude has been relaxed, and Jiang Susu can not go to the family temple, but Jiang Susu has not slept well for most of the month, and said that there are ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, and some doctors are not good, Xia Yan is extremely worried.
Since the general's mansion has won the emperor's praise for the soup kitchen, some colleagues in the officialdom have seen the wind and steered, and they have been in the market for a while, but today they deliberately replied to the posts and waited for that person.
A blue-gray carriage came in a curling manner and stopped in front of the General's Palace.
A tall girl dressed as a maid jumped out of it, and said a few words to the little maid guarding the door, the little guy left in a hurry, and after a while, Zhao Yi strode out of the door, followed by a few sturdy guards, and saw that the maid was slightly stunned, and then stared at the carriage parked at the door with a boundary monument.
The maid walked to the carriage, stood on tiptoe and said a few words inside, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and another person dressed as a maid jumped out of it.
Zhao Yi frowned, how could this person take two maids when he traveled, how could he be like a woman?
Immediately afterwards, the tall maid helped the people in the carriage out, but it was a rickety old woman with black strips of cloth covering her eyes. Seeing that it was a blind man, he was helped aside by the tall maid.
Zhao Yi's eyes widened, he couldn't hide the shock in his heart, could it be this blind old woman, this was really surprising, he looked at the old woman carefully, but he didn't find anything special, and he was even more suspicious.
"Childe?" A soft voice came from the front, and Zhao Yi realized that when he was staring at the blind old woman, he didn't know when another person got down from the carriage, wearing a hat and couldn't see his face, but the voice was a real woman, and it was somewhat familiar.
Unexpectedly, it was a woman who came to the General's Mansion, Zhao Yi was stunned and said, "Girl, please come with me." ”
The four of them followed Zhao Yi to the house, Zhao Yi was surprised in his heart, since it was a woman, two maids were enough, why did he still bring a blind woman, why is this?
Just as he was thinking, the man suddenly reached out and removed the hat, revealing a familiar face.
Zhao Yi opened his mouth and stammered: "It's you!" ”
"It's me." Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "Lord Zhao, don't come unharmed." ”
Zhao Yi blushed for another moment, looking at the bright face of the girl opposite and stuttering, he was ashamed in his heart, the other party was just a teenage girl, and he was almost twenty, how could he still see a little girl blushing. He suddenly thought of something and said in surprise: "You are the one who gives the porridge?" ”
"Not me." Jiang Ruan said, seeing Zhao Yi's relieved expression, added, "It's someone I hired." ”
"You, you, you, you, you ......." Zhao Yi stammered: "Who are you?" ”
"Lord Zhao, I also saved your life." Jiang Ruan smiled: "It won't hurt you." ”
Zhao Yi didn't speak, now that the situation in the capital is so chaotic, there are more people eyeing the Zhao family, who knows if this will be another trap. However, Zhao Yi followed his father Zhao Yuanjia's temperament, gentle and upright, and knew that there was a truth that kindness must be repaid, so he arched his hand: "Miss's life-saving grace, he will repay him every day." "The strange thing is that he has a special sense of affection for Jiang Ruan, and he intuitively feels that this little girl in front of him will not be unfavorable to the Zhao family. He had a lot of questions, and when he saw Jiang Ruan's smiling face, he swallowed them back, and those questions, when they arrived in the hall, Zhao Guang and his uncles would naturally ask them.
Zhao Yi took the four of them all the way towards the main hall of the General's Mansion, compared to the delicacy of the Jiang Mansion, the General's Mansion was more magnificent, and the guards in the Mansion looked very powerful, and when Jiang Ruan and the four of them walked by, they couldn't help but quietly cast their eyes over.
Forsythia and Bai Zhi were a little nervous, but Mama Zhou's body was trembling slightly, Jiang Ruan laughed in her heart, Zhao Guang really put a lot of effort into her arrival, and the guards here were like enemies to her, and they also had some ability.
In front of the hall, Zhao Yi took the lead and walked in. Zhao Guang sat on the main seat, and the whole person naturally exuded a general's aura, which was the oppression with blood after countless battlefield baptisms, and taught people to be unprovoked. Zhao Yuanjia, Zhao Yuanping, and Zhao Yuanfeng sat on both sides, Zhao Yuanjia was upright and steady, Zhao Yuanping was shrewd and wise, Zhao Yuanfeng was chic and unrestrained, and the three sons of the Zhao family were not people in the pool at a glance.
Zhao Yi strode in, and gestured to a few people in the hall with his fingers silently, which was their code, meaning that there was no danger.
Zhao Yi rushed outside and said, "Miss, please come in." ”
Jiang Ruan raised his feet and walked inside.
Zhao Guang, father and son, all frowned and looked towards the door of the hall, and saw a girl in red walking slowly from outside, dressed in a jujube red makeup and four joys of wishful pattern, a silk skirt embroidered by Han Ren, and a colorful embroidered silk brocade with four joyful ruyi patterns. The long hair is chic and chic and the bun is falling, wearing an amber and lapis lazuli bracelet on the wrist, the waist is tied with a silk palace silk, and there is a buckle Ruyi pile embroidered spill on it, and the feet are wearing flowered butterfly embroidered shoes. This girl is only eleven or twelve years old at most, but she is amazingly beautiful, and her facial features are extremely bright, but she does not look frivolous, but has a calm beauty.
However, the most surprising thing is not this.
She smiled and walked in step by step.
Zhao Guang looked at her in shock, and the three sons also sat up straight and stared at her tightly.
She got closer and closer step by step, Zhao Guang stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, his lips trembled, and he shouted in a low voice: "Mei'er." ”
Zhao Yuanjia and the others were already dumbfounded.
Like, too much like that. Too similar to Zhao Mei's appearance.
Even if Jiang Ruan only inherited Zhao Mei's appearance by six or seven points, in the general's mansion where there were more men, Jiang Ruan looked too similar to Zhao Mei. Zhao Yuanjia and the three of them have not seen Zhao Mei for many years, but Zhao Mei in their memories is at this age, he loves to wear red clothes, is enthusiastic, laughs, runs, and pesters a few brothers to ride horses together.
Si Ren is deceased, and his face is permanently sealed in his mind, but now when he sees Jiang Ruan, he feels like he is reunited.
And the one who has been hit the most is Zhao Guang.
His lips squirmed, unable to utter a word.
Jiang Ruan's eyes swept slightly, and he took in the expressions of several people. For the Zhao family, in fact, in her past life and present life, she has not had real contact. However, when she was a child, Zhao Mei often talked to her about the affairs of the General's Mansion, about her rough and stubborn grandfather, several uncles with different personalities, and the happy times that Zhao Mei once lived with these brothers and parents. Even if it was a description, Jiang Ruan could imagine what a happy picture it was.
At that time, Jiang Ruan always asked Zhao Mei: "Why don't grandfathers come to see us?" ”
There was a layer of gloom between Zhao Mei's eyebrows: "It's my mother who is not good, my mother made a mistake, and I don't deserve their forgiveness." ”
I didn't understand what Zhao Mei meant, but now that I think about it, it's just the saddest pain in a woman's heart. What is more miserable in the world than abandoning a loved one only to find out that a lover is a wolf?
She was born in Wenchen's family, accustomed to a life of intrigue, yearning for the military general's mansion as Zhao Mei said, and if she is dissatisfied, she will come out to compare the refreshing. It's a pity that until the end of her life in the previous life, she didn't have the opportunity to see the general's mansion with her own eyes, so she only got the news that they were beheaded.
Now in this life, she is now stepping on the real land of the General's Mansion.
She smiled and said softly, "General Zhao." ”
The sentence "General Zhao" pulled Zhao Guang's thoughts back. The girl in front of her is indeed too similar to Zhao Mei, but if you look closely, it is not true. Zhao Mei looks enthusiastic on the surface, but in fact, he is gentle and soft, and he has a kind of innocence that does not understand the world. And this girl is obviously also dressed in red, the fiery red color, but she is worn out of the cold feeling. In her eyes, there is a depth and vicissitudes that do not match her age. Although she has a gentle smile, her temperament is too cold, too cold.
She is not Zhao Mei.
"Who are you?" Zhao Yuanfeng, who was the most impatient, stood up: "Why do you look so similar to my sister!" ”
Among the sons of the Zhao family, Zhao Yuanfeng and Zhao Mei have the best relationship, Zhao Yuanjia is a teenager, and he has always been a caring brother, and Zhao Yuanping is smart and wise, although he spoils Zhao Mei on weekdays, he doesn't know how to make her happy, only Zhao Yuanfeng, both sisters and brothers are enthusiastic and uninhibited, and the age difference is not big, climbing trees and riding horses together, Zhao Yuanfeng and Zhao Mei have such a good relationship, and now when they see Jiang Ruan, they are naturally excited in their hearts.
Jiang Ruan glanced at him with a smile: "Little uncle? ”
Zhao Yuanfeng was struck by lightning, took two steps back, pointed at Jiang Ruan and said, "You call me uncle?" ”
Zhao Yuanjia and Zhao Yuanping's expressions changed, looking at Jiang Ruan in disbelief, and Zhao Guang's body was also shocked.
Jiang Ruan ignored everyone's astonished eyes: "I am the one who gives porridge under the banner of the Zhao family, and I am also the eldest daughter of the Jiang family today, the Ruan Niang of the Jiang family." ”
She smiled and said, "According to the relationship between relatives and relatives, I should salute you." She bowed lightly and said, "Ruan Niang has seen my grandfather, eldest uncle, second uncle, and younger uncle. ”
Zhao Yi, who had been watching from the wall, finally called out: "Are you your aunt's daughter?" ”
He has always known that his father has a younger sister, he has an aunt, but this aunt is not taboo in the Zhao family, when he was born, his aunt was no longer in the house, because he had never seen this aunt. Only from the mouth of the nurse and the grandmother. Now this little girl who saved him once is actually her aunt's daughter?
Jiang Ruan looked at him: "Hard work, big cousin." ”
The father and son of the Zhao family all looked at her and were speechless in shock.
Forsythia gently pressed Mama Zhou's hand, Mama Zhou understood, rushed forward and knelt down and cried: "Master, master, do you remember the minion?" It was you and your wife who taught the old slave to follow the young lady to the Jiang family! ”
"Mama Zhou?" Zhao Guang was stunned for a moment, Zhao Mei insisted on marrying into the Jiang family, and even did not hesitate to cut off relations with the Zhao family.
More than 10 years have passed.
"How did you become like this?" Zhao Guang frowned, Mama Zhou was an intact person when she first went, but now it seems that she has become blind, and her body does not look good, it seems that she has just recovered from a serious illness.
"It was the vicious Jiang family who harmed it," Mama Zhou said: "The Jiang family hurt Miss, it was Miss Xiao who picked up the life of the old slave and came back, the Jiang family not only harmed Miss Xiao, but also harmed Miss Xiao's children, master, save Miss Xiao!" After that, he kowtowed to Zhao Guang violently regardless of it, and it was extremely sad to look at.
Jiang Ruan ordered Bai Zhi to float Mama Zhou and looked at Zhao Guang. Zhao Guang's expression was shocked, his face instantly turned extremely blue, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Quan!" ”
"It's the biological father," Jiang Ruan said indifferently: "General, please help Ruan Niang." ”
