Chapter 84. Life and death parting
The King of Jin was still blaming Wang Shao for building the palace for himself that was too luxurious and not frugal enough. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info didn't understand Wang Shao's good intentions until he heard the reason.
"Thanks to the master, please give me a lot of advice in the future. The master understands the customs of Jiangnan more than this king. "It is worthy of being the king of Jin, and he soon realized his shortcomings and began to learn from his teacher.
One of the reasons why Wang Shao likes King Jin very much is that he is casually smart but humble and studious, and he is not stingy with what he does not understand, and spends time and energy on research and learning.
No, since he came to Yangzhou, he has been pestering Wang Shao all day long to ask him to tell him about Jiangnan. Wang Shao was naturally so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and he knew everything about him. In this way, in a very short period of time, King Jin had a general understanding of the current situation in Jiangnan.
Here, people pay more attention to the words and deeds of some celebrities and nobles. In this way, if you can win over these celebrities and nobles, then it is equivalent to winning over all the people in Jiangnan. The great cause of reunification in the true sense is just around the corner.
"By the way, master, which of these nobles are more accessible? Let's start with these easy-to-start families, and then through their introductions, we will get in touch with all the influential nobles and celebrities. King Jin asked Wang Shao.
Wang Shao looked at the witty and handsome face of King Jin, thinking that it was a pity that he was not the crown prince. Not only has extraordinary intelligence, but also has a long-term vision and overall view.
"At present, the easiest thing for the King of Jin to win over is the Xiliang Xiao family. They are the maiden family of Princess Jin. It will definitely be much better than other homes. Wang Shao said the suggestion he had been thinking about for a long time.
King Jin didn't think about the Xiao Dynasty, but according to Princess Jin, she lived in her uncle's house since she was a child. Does her family really have feelings for her? Can such a relationship be exploited?
After thinking about it, King Jin still decided to go home and discuss this matter with Princess Jin.
So during the meal, King Jin saw the opportunity to talk about when Princess Jin went to visit her parents.
"When it comes to visiting my parents, I've always wanted to see them. But the first thing I wanted to see was my uncle and aunt. If you talk about the grace of nurturing, they have raised me for more than ten years, so you should go to see them first.
"If that's the case, we should go see them first, and let someone send them something tomorrow to inform them of what we're going to do." King Jin immediately agreed to go to see his uncle and aunt first. Although he wanted to talk more about his plan to win over the Xiao royal family, he was afraid that if he said it, it would make his beloved concubine in a dilemma.
The next day, the guards sent to deliver gifts to Princess Jin's uncle and aunt came in a panic and reported: "Princess Jin's uncle and aunt have passed away a few years ago. ”
Princess Jin was originally holding a teacup in her hand, but after hearing this, her mind instantly went blank, she lost consciousness completely, and the cup in her hand fell to the ground with a bang.
King Jin heard the sound of the cup breaking, and hurriedly stepped forward to support the princess of Jin, who was about to fall.
After a long time, a sad and indignant look appeared on Princess Jin's face, and she finally cried, "Why? Why didn't anyone tell me about this? “
King Jin also wondered that he had never received similar news.
Seeing that the concubine was sad, King Jin couldn't do anything. Just like when he was sad, Princess Jin couldn't do anything.
"Ai Concubine, let's go to the place where you and your uncle and aunt lived, maybe we can dispel the sorrow in our hearts." King Jin looked at the sad face of his concubine, and it was really difficult to sit idly by.
"Hmm......" Princess Jin nodded.
Yangzhou City was very close to the town where Princess Jin lived at the time, and they were soon there.
Looking at this street where there was almost no change, Princess Jin had mixed feelings. When I just crossed over before, the strangeness and freshness, the reluctance to leave. Now it has become a deep nostalgia for my uncle and aunt.
Because they were privately interviewed by Weifu, they did not arouse the people on the roadside
The streets are still bustling, and the shops on both sides of the road are still bustling. Only after arriving at Zhang's pharmacy, the courtyard was cold. The lintel has fallen with a thick layer of dust.
An old man next to him saw them looking here, and walked over to look at Princess Jin's face. After a long time, he hesitated and said, "Are you the young lady of this family, Zhang Leyi?" ”
"Yes, uncle, do you know your family?" Princess Jin asked the old man in a sad tone.
"How can you not know each other, there is no one in this town who does not know his family. It is really a family of healers with the heart of a bodhisattva. It's a pity that the incense was cut off in their generation. The old man said with regret in his tone.
After the old man heard that Princess Jin was Zhang Leyi, the daughter of the family, he gave her a bunch of keys.
"This is left to you by the second elder, and they told me that you will definitely come here to see them in the future, and let me give you the key." The old man choked up as he spoke.
Princess Jin took the key, thinking about how desolate the two of them had died at that time. There is no one with any relatives around. I couldn't help but cry.
Opening the dusty door, the air in the room was filled with musty smell, apparently no one had been there for years. The indoor furniture is still exactly the same as the original, and this familiar and unfamiliar feeling makes Princess Jin change from silent crying to crying.
"My daughter is not filial! The daughter is not filial......" Princess Jin knelt on the ground and kept repeating these words. Thinking that the two of them died sadly, and no one informed him, he felt angry.
"We wanted to inform you, but your parents didn't agree. It is said that after you get married, you must be involuntary and have a lot of inconveniences, and you will naturally come to mourn them when the time is right. The old man cried with Princess Jin on the side.
After crying, the two returned to the Jin Palace. Silent along the way.
After several days, King Jin did not mention going to the Xiliang Palace to visit Princess Jin's biological parents. Until Xiao Yu came to the Jin Palace, to visit them.
"See the King of Jin, Princess Jin!" When Xiao Yu saw her sister and brother-in-law, she first bowed. provoked the Jin King and his wife to laugh.
"You kid has become more conformist when he gets to his own turf." King Jin teased.
Xiao Yu laughed, not caring at all about these false greetings. Gu sat down, "When will my brother-in-law and sister go to visit my father and mother?" ”
Le Yi suddenly froze her smile, it wasn't that she didn't know that she should visit. The reason why I didn't mention it for a long time was because I didn't want to face that messy relationship. I don't know what happened to my biological mother, Queen Zhang, now? With his current ability, he still can't do anything for her.
"Then let's visit the day after tomorrow!" King Jin looked at Princess Jin and said to Xiao Yu with a smile. The smile makes people feel like a spring breeze.
"Okay, I'll go back and tell my parents the good news." Xiao Yu was immersed in his brother-in-law's warm smile. didn't notice the worry on the face of her sister Princess Jin.
