Chapter 032: The Only Hope
If Zhang Ci really dies, what will happen to her?
Chen Qiuniang stood in the hall with four walls and leaky air, and couldn't help but think seriously about this problem.
She was the last person Zhang Ci had contact with him before he fainted. If Zhang Ci dies, her consequences will be nothing more than two. One is that the people of Zhang's Mansion did not ask about it, and directly executed her to Zhang Ci for burial; The second is that the people in Zhang's Mansion will be a little reasonable, read it for the sake of her seemingly sending a letter to Zhang Ci, and listen to her justification, then she may have a chance to turn things around.
In short, no matter what, if Zhang Ci is dead, it is very likely that the Zhang family will accompany her to death. Don't say anything about a century-old family, with a high-end character and an excellent reputation. She knows very well that there is no inheritance and development of any great family, which is not a kind face, but actually a cold and barbaric inside.
"Big sister, it's going to be dangerous." Chen Qiusheng asked in a low voice.
"How can it be dangerous for Brother Cheng to protect us? I don't know what your little head thinks. With so many doubts, he will soon become a little old man. Chen Qiuniang replied with a smile and touched his little head.
The yellow-faced and thin-skinned boy pursed his lips and said unhappily: "I am the son of the Chen family, so I naturally have to take responsibility, I am not young, I am five years old, the eldest sister should not lie to me." ”
"I kid you not. Go to sleep, tomorrow morning, you and Qiuxia have to help me work, otherwise that small bag of rice and noodles won't last long. Chen Qiuniang scratched his nose and smiled at him.
Chen Qiusheng was skeptical, and repeatedly confirmed that he went to sleep in Chen Qiuniang's strong denial.
He fell asleep, but Chen Qiuniang couldn't sleep. Chen Qiusheng's words reminded her that if Zhang Ci really couldn't get through it, she would be very dangerous, and it would even affect the whole family.
We must not sit idly by. Chen Qiuniang stood up, put on an old cloak, gently pushed open the door and walked out. She wants to find the third and fifth children who are in charge here, and she must meet the young man in blue or Jiang Hang before Zhang Ci has bad news. Even if Zhang Ci has an accident, she can't protect herself, she has to think of protecting this innocent old and young.
At night, the dense clouds in the first half of the night dispersed, and the sky was clear and the stars were shining. As soon as Chen Qiuniang got up and walked out of the house, she saw a person sitting under the eaves, and because the person was hidden in the shadows of the eaves, she couldn't see clearly for a while.
Chen Qiuniang was shocked, but the man shouted: "Qiu Niang." ”
It turned out to be Chen Liu's, Chen Qiuniang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Grandma, you have inconvenient legs and feet, why did you get up?" ”
"It's another person shouting for help, it's a bamboo forest fire, and so many people are coming outside the house. How can I sleep soundly this old bone? Chen Liushi said, his voice still very low.
Chen Qiuniang moved the straw and sat beside her, snuggled in her arms, and said, "Grandma, those have nothing to do with us." Our family is surrounded by walls, without power and power, who would have a bad head and fight our family's idea. ”
Chen Liushi hugged her tightly and said, "In the last few nights, I have always dreamed of Xiao Pian. I'm not sure. ”
"Houshu is gone. Xiao Lian also went to Kaifeng. And you, however, were once a nurse of Little Pity. Now, you are Chen Liu's family in Liucun, a lame old lady with four walls. Those past events have nothing to do with us. Chen Qiuniang comforted her in a low voice.
Chen Liushi stroked her head, sighed, and said, "You are still young. How do you know that some of the past is not something that can be broken by saying it. I've been unsteady for the past few days, and I'm even more restless tonight. ”
Chen Qiuniang expected that this Chen Liu clan must be hiding some secret, and this secret may be related to Fei Guifei, and today Chen Quanzhong is afraid that this is also the case that Chen Quanzhong wants to sue the official.
"Grandma, what about restlessness? Is there a better way to do it today? Chen Qiuniang took advantage of the situation to probe her bottom and see if this old lady would have a way to hide at this critical juncture when danger was imminent.
Chen Liushi was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "How can there be a way." At that time, Xiao Pian was arrogant, except for the emperor's favor, where was there anyone around him who could be useful. Even if the court officials had something to ask her, she ignored it. Nowadays, where is the way. ”
"No one has ever received her favor?" Chen Qiuniang asked, secretly thinking that she was a favorite champion**, and someone must have a relationship or something, maybe she can still count on it now.
"Nope. Xiao Lian said that he didn't want to interfere with the government. The Zhu family is what I begged for, and it is the exception. Chen Liushi whispered, his tone full of remorse.
This Fei Guifei is simply a model of "reading too many books, people are stupid when they read". History also praised his talent and appearance, and he could see through the world. I'll accompany you, this is actually a stupid person. Chen Qiuniang despised in her heart: No matter how powerful ancient women are, there are too few who can jump out of the limitations of history.
If this Fei Guifei is really familiar with history and sees through the world, she knows that the court and the court, once you step in, whether you want to or not, the game has already begun, how can you flout the rules of the game and act willfully. And this Fei Guifei's family, as well as this Chen Liu's family, are also confused, she is a little beauty who doesn't know the sinister world, you are all in the society, you don't know those doorways?
Once the power is in hand, once the person is in a high position, whether you are passive or active, it is impossible to stay out of the matter. The only thing to do is to deliberately set up a way out for yourself to protect and retreat, and at most consider the conscience when weighing the pros and cons.
"She's confused." Chen Qiuniang sighed in a low voice.
"Qiu Niang, you are not allowed to say that about her." Chen Liu's tone was suddenly stern.
I can't even comment objectively. It seems that Chen Liu's really likes this little mercy.
"Got it." Chen Qiuniang sat up straight.
Chen Liushi whispered and said that he didn't talk about people's rights and wrongs, and said that Xiao Pian was a lot better. Chen Qiuniang had no interest in that Fei Guifei, so she simply said that Liu Cheng's family was treating the son of Zhangfu in the town, and the son was injured while hunting, and occasionally heard Liu Cheng talk about his father's return this morning, and the bamboo forest was on fire, so as not to worry about Liu Cheng's serious treatment, he sent someone to protect Chen Qiuniang's family, so as not to have bad people take advantage of the night to make trouble.
"Are they really protecting us?" Chen Liushi asked again. The tone was clearly disbelieving.
"Absolutely. However, I think those people seem to have come from the army. The fierce look on his face was a little vicious, and Qiusheng was scared when he saw it. In the end, it is too small to have seen the world. Chen Qiuniang said. In the vague impression, Chen Qiuniang had been to Chengdu Mansion when she was very young, and she had seen the world, and it seemed that she had also seen Concubine Fei. It's just too small, and I only have the impression of luxurious clothes, tall rooms, and colorful decorations.
"You're like a little adult, too. If it's really protecting us, tomorrow, go and thank Koyanagi Langzhong. Since our family moved here, your father has become more and more uncompetitive, thanks to Liu Langzhong's family, otherwise your two little brothers, alas! Chen Liushi said, shed tears again, raised his sleeves to wipe old tears.
Chen Qiuniang couldn't help but comfort her, so she coaxed her to sleep. When the old lady started snoring, she tiptoed out of the room, walked to the door of the fence courtyard, and said to Xiao Wu who was standing there: "Big brother, I want to see your cousin, or Jiang Gongzi." ”
"Little girl, I knew you were coming. You go and rest, my cousin said, Zhang Fu must not wronged good people. Xiao Wu replied with a smile.
"Is that what your cousin really said?" Chen Qiuniang was very surprised. Thinking about this little five's IQ, he can't make up this sentence.
"Yes. I told my cousin that you would definitely ask to see him or Commander Jiang. If you come, I will say to you: Please rest assured, the girl will be repaid if the Zhang Mansion has kindness, and you must not wronged a good person. Xiao Wu replied in detail.
If this Zhang Mansion is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, then Jiang Hang's work is enough to advance and retreat. Unexpectedly, the young man in blue actually foresaw her possible actions in advance and had insight into her possible intentions.
They reassured her, she was relieved, but she couldn't. Because there is also a fierce and vicious third child next to him, with a murderous face. Visually, this person hates her, and her force value is also very high.
Chen Qiuniang is not afraid of fighting wits, but this kind of thing is martial arts, even the old foxes who rack their brains can't do it. Remember that there was a young emperor before, who couldn't press his ministers, and directly hacked those ministers he hated to death on the way to the court?
Wise, the force value is a hard wound. Countless bloody facts in history have proved that people with too high force value should not be underestimated, even if they are mentally retarded, such as Li Yuanba or something, they have not broken Yuwen Chengdu.
Therefore, this third child is hanging here, and Chen Qiuniang always feels that it is a time bomb. He admired Zhang Ci so much that he was a brainless fan, and in addition, he almost killed his idol Zhang Ci, so he felt very guilty. Based on this, Chen Qiuniang has reason to suspect that if Zhang Ci has any three strengths and two weaknesses, this person may become an outlaw, tear her directly, and then commit suicide or something.
If that's the case, how wronged the old lady is. Chen Qiuniang didn't want that to happen, so even if the young man in blue had words, she couldn't feel at ease, and she had to get the third child away.
So, she stood for a moment, sighed, and said, "My cousin is a proper and meticulous person, and I am a lot relieved to hear him say this, but—"
She wanted to speak and stopped, and Xiao Wu immediately asked: "Girl, if there is anything else, you might as well say it directly." If I can't be the master, my cousin is free to decide. ”
"Well, it's true. I—" She said this, looked at the third child next to her, and began to say again, "I can't help but feel anxious in my heart, afraid that if something happens, someone hates me so much, but I don't have time to squeak, and I will be wronged in vain." ”
Xiao Wu also immediately understood, but said with a smile: "He has always understood proportion, how can he mess around." The girl was relieved. ”
Chen Qiuniang shook her head and said, "Although I am nine years old, I can see clearly with these eyes. Little Fifth Brother, don't say such reassuring words. If it's really that step, it doesn't matter if I'm wronged, but I really let go of the villain who assassinated the second son. ”
"The girl is right. The third child also understands this truth. Xiao Wu comforted.
Chen Qiuniang felt that it was almost over, so she blessed her body, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, it's me who doesn't choose what to say." How could I be the one who will teach these things? You know a lot more about these truths than I do. It's just that I want to trouble the two big brothers. ”
"What's the matter?" It was Xiao Wu who spoke, and the third child was still standing aside, motionless.
"If there is really a worst situation, I only seek the true evil and the Fa. Then, let this big brother dispose of it. Chen Qiuniang stood in front of the third child, finished speaking categorically, and didn't wait for them to react or promise, turned around and went back to the house. These words are enough for these seemingly well-known men of the ranks, and there is no need to hear their promises.
This night, Chen Qiuniang didn't sleep all night, not because she was worried about her life and death. The young man in blue had such a promise, and she already knew that there was no danger to her life.
What she was worried about was Zhang Ci's injury. Because Zhang Ci is the only connection she can rely on.
Originally, he originally expected Concubine Fei to be a concubine anyway, and there would always be some leftover connections or something, but when he probed Chen Liu's tone tonight, he couldn't look directly at Mrs. Hua Rui's IQ. It's a rhythm that you can't count on at all.
She can only rely on herself now, and she has to create her own connections for whatever connections.
So, Zhang Ci, you must resist it.
Chen Qiuniang looked at the courtyard of Liu Langzhong like this, saw that the lights were bright, and there were many people, and stood all night.
