Chapter 163: I Wished for Longevity (1)
Since the imperial court issued an order to lift the total curfew in Fucheng, the evening market and night market in Uehara Prefecture have been in full swing again. As soon as the sun set, all the households in the market set up their stalls and began to sell, and those with their own stores polished their plaques and hung lanterns, and enthusiastically attracted customers. In the most lively night market, even if there is no welfare of official lighting, it is still a hot scene of thousands of lights shining on the blue clouds and high-rise customers.
This is the way things are in the world, and there has never been a saying that you have to stagnate because you have lost someone. After Yin Yuan's funeral, there were hundreds of people in the city who spontaneously mourned for him, but they dispersed after three days. The lights are still lights, and the bustle is still bustling. The Yin family is closed, and it's just the Yin family.
Zhang Xianyi is used to being lively, everything at home was not going well in the past few months, and he didn't have the heart to go out, and Zhang Shaoqing was strict in his care, and now he has a rare time to play, so he naturally has to make up for the lack of gas.
Since she learned from Zhang Shaoqing that Yin Suwen was still alive, her mood improved, and she was originally shocked by Yin Yuan's funeral, but when she thought of the rumors that he had tortured Yin Suwen for many years, she didn't pay much attention to it. Yin Suwen and Zhang Suwen are only a few faces, but she feels that the two are born cordial, and they have never cared less about Yin Suwen, but it is just because she is in the way of making trouble with Zhang Shaoqing.
Now, Yin Suwen came back alive but didn't go home with Zhang Shaoqing, Zhang Suwen just asked a few words and was reprimanded by the brother who had never spoiled him. Zhang Shaoqing didn't say anything, and the close-fitting Liu Feng couldn't see anyone. She didn't dare to ask a word anymore, so she had to hold her mind and wait for an opportunity to meet in person.
Walking from the night market to the night market, she always rubbed in the direction of the Yin Mansion intentionally or unintentionally, but every time she didn't get out of the scope of the night market, she would definitely be intercepted by the secret guards and maids arranged by Zhang Shaoqing within a few steps.
In the name of allowing himself to go out of the house to relax, in the name of arranging a few people to protect his safety, in fact, he must always prevent himself from running to the Yin Mansion. Zhang Huiyi lingered in the market for most of the day, eating, drinking and having fun, but the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became, so he simply threw his sleeves and threw the lantern in his hand and went home.
She went home huffing. originally had the intention of complaining and complaining, and wanted to find trouble with Zhang Shaoqing. There was no one in the study, and there was no one in the council room. Pushed open the door of the bedroom in one breath, and really saw someone but was reluctant to get angry, her brother was drinking alone.
Not long after Zhang Shaoqing went down, he drank wine before the grain of rice entered. Even if the mellow wine goes directly into the stomach, it is still burning and shivering. It's not comfortable, but it's pleasant enough. After a sullen meal, several flasks were poured. I drank so much that my heart was hot and red. His face was cold and pale.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Zhang Xuanyi ran to Zhang Shaoqing's side like a gust of wind and hugged him, only to realize that the other party's body and hands were very cold. In the hot and humid summer night, I feel even more panicked. The man in front of him didn't look like a man who had drunk a lot of wine except for his shaky figure and vague eyes.
"When others drink too much, it's nothing more than hot vomiting or spilling and making trouble, but it's good for you to drink so much stuffy and all of them are cold. If you continue like this, you will get sick, so I will call the doctor. ”
Zhang Xianyi wanted to call the doctor and his subordinates to come in and serve, but he was dragged back by Zhang Shaoqing as soon as he got together. He blinked his eyes a few times to see more clearly, and he didn't hear what Zhang Xuanyi said too clearly, only recognized that the person who came was indeed his precious sister.
"Come, Yiyi is the most well-behaved, accompany my brother to have another drink!"
"Hey, be careful!"
He pulled Zhang Xuanyi to toast with one hand, but the wine glass he raised with the other hand failed to reach his lips, and he staggered and raised his hand to sprinkle a glass of wine on his face. The strong smell of wine and the cold chill came to his face, and Zhang Shaoqing was slightly stunned and then sobered up.
Zhang Xuanyi stretched out her hand and failed to block the wine glass, watching the whole glass of wine spill, and watching her once high-spirited brother stumbling drunk, it was really distressing. Whispered to him, slowly pulled his handkerchief to wipe off the wine stains for him, and gently brushed a few strands of hair from his forehead with the other.
"Brother, but the wound on his shoulder hurts again?"
Zhang Shaoqing shook his head slowly, the best wine is the best, it can numb the pain, and no matter how painful the wound is, it won't hurt.
"Then, but today the court was asked about Sister Yin?"
Zhang Shaoqing raised his eyes to look at her and slowly lowered his eyes.
After today's court meeting, Zhang Shaoqing was summoned to the side hall of the apse to see the driver alone, and the emperor sat in the queen mother's curtain, looking like a teacher asking for guilt. The two people on the phoenix dragon chair didn't talk much, but arranged for Gonggong Liu on the side to ask about the situation of Yin Su, the eldest lady of the Zhang family. According to Zhang Shaoqing's previous report, he should have brought Yin Suwen to meet the saint in person in the past few days, and now there is no one in Zhang's mansion and there are rumors in the mansion about the daughters of the Yin family, Zhang Shaoqing's previous lies are naturally full of loopholes.
Fortunately, after he and Yin Su said goodbye to the mountain, he thought about how to deal with the question of holy will, so he was really questioned and did not panic at all, but only told a grief-stricken story with affection: his beloved wife Yin Suwen ran away due to a little temper at the wedding ceremony, and went into the depths of Donghuang Mountain on her own, and was frightened by some unknown in the dense forest, and it has not eased up until she was taken back to the mansion by Zhang Shaoqing. Later, the medicine stone was hung and persisted for a few months, and finally he finally returned to the west, and even Yin Yuan died soon after another, all because of this blow.
In addition, he also made it clear that he once wanted to hold a beautiful funeral for Yin Suwen, but she couldn't resist her own dying wish and insisted that she should not be known by the world. Therefore, I later went to the Ministry of Rites to simply get an inconspicuous notebook.
Time passed, I never thought that the Holy Will Fist was still sympathetic to himself, Zhang Shaoqing looked ashamed and grateful, and bowed. At the same time, he took the initiative to take all the responsibilities, blindly blaming himself for not caring enough for Yin Suwen. As for the newly promoted Miss Yin San, he said that he was too sad and never paid attention to it.
Regardless of Zhang Shaoqing's status in the court, he will not be punished because of a wife Yin Suwen who has not yet been crowned, just because of the sincerity and sincerity of his on-site presentation and a few vivid tears, the queen mother and the emperor did not want to have any more blame, but hurriedly comforted a few words and sent people away.
Solving this problem was not a difficult task for Zhang Shaoqing, and the first moment he walked out of the side hall, the tears on his face dried with the wind. Except for Yin Su asking himself, everything is under his control, except for the somewhat strange self who shouldn't be sad. (To be continued......)
PS: Wine is the best, it can numb the pain, and no matter how painful the wound is, it won't hurt.
