Chapter 288: Zong Zhengxiu's Secret Letter (25 Monthly Pass Plus Update)
On that day, Zong Zhengjin woke up, and the first thing he said to Zong Zhengke was, your father is still alive!
In this regard, even if Zong Zhengke was a little surprised, it was very rare. Since my mother can escape, why can't my father? But she also has a bit of a headache, how should she face her parents in the future? In the end, these are the biological parents, no more than others.
Zong Zheng explained that after he received the holy decree of his appointment, when he went to the ancestral hall to worship, the ancestral hall keeper mysteriously handed him a secret letter.
At a glance, he recognized that this letter was the handwriting of Zong Zhengxiu, the eldest son of his eldest son, who had been dead for many years! One can imagine how shocked and happy he was at that time.
In the letter, Zong Zhengxiu admitted frankly that he was not dead, but it was inconvenient for him to inform his father about his situation at this time, and he also asked his father to keep it secret, and there would naturally be a time to meet and clarify this matter in the future. He told his father that he must leave with the portrait of Zongzhengzi in the ancestral hall.
As for the reason and how to deal with the portrait, Zong Zhengxiu did not say clearly. Zong Zheng pondered for a long time, on the one hand, worried about whether his son's situation was very dangerous, and on the other hand, guessed his intention to let him bring the portrait of his ancestors.
Unable to find an answer, in the end, Zongzheng had no choice but to go to the ancestral hall keeper and say that he wanted to take away the portrait of the ancestors. Unexpectedly, the old-fashioned and old-fashioned temple keeper actually handed over the portrait to him very happily.
What happened later, Zong Zhengke generally knew it. Zong Zhengjin handed Zong Zhengxiu's letter to Zong Zhengke, and Zong Zhengke read it carefully several times.
Judging by the handwriting, her biological father had a strong pen and full of energy, at least at the time of writing, he should have been healthy. And she vaguely guessed that Zong Zhengxiu was afraid that he was a martial arts cultivator, and there were some feelings in his words that only fellow martial artists could understand.
Regarding the portrait of the ancestor, Zong Zhengjin meant that it was very inappropriate to put it with him, and it was better to take it to the capital and hand it over to the Nagabo for safekeeping. On the other side of the long house, there is a guard raised by the family. The force value is always much higher than that of this bad old man and full house.
Therefore, Zong Zheng deliberately sent a letter to Beijing, so that the two brothers could send capable people to escort the portraits of the ancestors into Beijing. The last time the two brothers sent their servants to visit the sick, he gave the letter to the person who came and brought it back. Zong Zhengyu came here, and one personally visited the third uncle for his father and second uncle. The second is to take the portrait away.
Unexpectedly, there was another matter of choosing a female officer, and not long after the grandfather and grandson were reunited, they were going to separate again. Zong Zheng couldn't help but sigh: "Ke'er, the holy will cannot be disobeyed, if my grandfather has not recovered." You don't have to go this time. ”
Zong Zhengke smiled slightly and said: "With the talent of his granddaughter, it must be difficult to be selected, and grandfather doesn't have to worry about it." "The capital, she will go sooner or later. Now that the opportunity has come, how could she miss it? Yunhang Mansion didn't bother to stay any longer.
Zong Zhengyu said with a smile: "Female officials are different from palace maids, and they can enter and leave the palace freely, and they can only enter the palace to listen to errands when they are on duty." Since then, the selection of female officials is very strict, and the competition is very fierce, after all, this is a good beauty difference. But Ke'er doesn't have to be presumptuous. Getting a female officer with your talent is just a trivial matter. ”
What does this mean, did Jingli's uncle and grandfather deliberately let himself be admitted to the female officer? Since Zong Zhengke can think of it, Zong Zhengjin naturally understands what Zong Zhengyu means. He couldn't help but hesitate: "What does your father mean?" ”
Zong Zhengyu said: "The tenure of female officials is long and short, the shortest is three years, and the longest is only five years. After these five years, won't Ke'er be able to say goodbye? lest people gossip about what they don't have. ”
Zong Zheng thought about it carefully, and it did make sense. Compared with what His Holiness ordered that it should not be married too early, as a female official, it is logical that she cannot marry during her tenure, which just happens to be able to block the mouths of the people.
Zong Zhengyu promised: "Ke'er will go this time, and Concubine Hui has a lot of grace now." It shouldn't be difficult to find a laid-back position for Ke'er. ”
If you are not in a position of leisure, you will not be lightly involved in the battle in the palace, which is a position that can be gilded and faced. Zong Zhengke thanked Zong Zhengke, but how could she tell this strange second uncle what she really thought in her heart?
If she goes to be a female officer. and will go to the position of power. Otherwise, how can she make waves in the palace and sharpen her sword against the enemy?!
This sets the itinerary down. Time is still very tight, because the Empress Dowager Jade is about to die, and Zong Zhengjin has to send some gifts to express his heart. This is the way of being a courtier, and Zong Zhengke understands it.
Going to go. Hurried and hurried away. Zong Zhengke hesitated for a long time, but finally invited Gong Jing to speak. She hadn't figured out what attitude to use to face this mother in her previous life, but she didn't want to take it to Kyori with some questions in her heart.
The place where he spoke must be secret, and Zong Zhengke also wanted to explain to Li Yi. She invited Li Yi to come over and discussed with him: "Knock Gong Jing unconscious, take her to your cave, and I'll have a few words with her, okay?" ”
Li Yi responded with a smile, in a happy mood. This shows that Ah Ke is opening up to him, and it is worth the risk he takes.
For more than a month, Gong Jing was also uneasy. In a situation of house arrest, she could do nothing, dare not do anything. However, this situation has protected her safety very well, because of the great changes that have occurred in Dongfu, many Dongfu people are suspicious of her.
If Xiao Langlang and Xiao Yingying's sisters hadn't been under the same house arrest, I'm afraid they would have come to her for trouble a long time ago. Xiao Yingying is small but a ghost elf, a comparison of things before and after, and then there are those rumors that I don't know who released it, so it's strange not to use her to vent her anger.
Therefore, Gong Jing really wanted to leave Yunhang Mansion as soon as possible and leave Liang Xiao's sphere of influence. But there are a lot of people who are watching her openly and secretly, not only the people of the Xiao family, but also the people of the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the Buddha Kingdom, she only has Xi'er to rely on, and she can't leave - Murong Yue can't do anything about it.
Finally, after lunch that day, Xi'er came to report that the three girls of Zongzheng were invited. Gong Jing breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she was allowed to see the third girl of Zongzheng, she naturally had the ability to persuade the other party to let her go.
Gong Jing took Xi'er to Changchun Courtyard, not wanting to faint suddenly while walking. When she woke up, she found herself in a simple bamboo hut. She didn't panic, she got up and moved her hands and feet slightly, and then saw Zong Zhengke push the door in.
More than a month of busyness has calmed Zong Zhengke's mood very well. Now, she can also calmly look directly into Gong Jing's eyes without revealing half a clue.
Mama Jingxu is a person she is familiar with, but Gong Jing and Wang Qingzhao are strangers to her. As long as she treats the other party as a stranger, she can stabilize her feelings and speak well. (To be continued.) )
