Chapter 337: Preliminary Determination
Reunited after a long absence, the two of them were grinding in Jinse Garden, and the private room between lovers was not less, so there is no need to describe it here. In short, in front of Chen Qiuniang, Zhang Ci always had a gentle smile on his face like a spring breeze, his tone was as soft as a breeze, and the whole person was bathed in a clean and soft light. And Chen Qiuniang's coquettishness and snorting are also instinctive. In front of him, she unconsciously became a little girl.
The ears and temples grind, bow your head and speak softly, the intoxicating lake and mountains outside the house, the fierce wind howling in the north, and the shape of Bianjing seem to be things from another world. The two stayed in Jinse Garden for three days without leaving the house. Rumors spread in the palace, saying that the emperor favored Mrs. Hua Rui and did not go to court for three days, which was comparable to Yang Guifei. That lady is afraid that she is the lord of the troubled dynasty. The ministers also admonished one after another, and the folds were piled up.
Chen Qiuniang pretended to be Xiao Gong'e and hid behind the curtain, and asked Zhang Ci, who was also pretending to be Xiao Gong'e, "What's going on?" ”
"Oh. I can't let people say that Zhao Kuangyin and Zhang's housewife didn't go out in Jinse Garden for three days, right? Your cheap aunt killed herself anyway. I simply made you Fei Guifei, and let your mother live in a small building in the middle of the lake, and became Concubine Chen. First, keep your name; Second, thieves can't go to that island lightly, and your mother can also be considerate. Zhang Ci explained in a low voice.
Chen Qiuniang let out an "oh", always having some foreboding, and couldn't help asking: "That historical record, my mother was shot by Zhao Guangyi that year?" ”
"I don't know how the history you know records your mother and Zhao Kuangyin, but the record left by the seventh ancestor is: Meng Chang died, Hua Rui Ruoping, and Song Zu moved into the palace in order to protect him. Feng Guifei. It is rumored in the wild history that the stamen was shot by Taizong. However, the historical data is unknown, and I have verified in many ways that the concubine who was shot was Mrs. Jincheng, and this woman was the beauty of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the whereabouts of the stamens are unknown. Or in the great drought of 975, Song Zu granted amnesty to the world, exiled the palace people, and the stamen was gone. Zhang Ci simply sat behind the curtain and told Chen Qiuniang about this paragraph recorded on the computer held by Zhang Ye.
"What do you mean by this, Zhao Kuangyin let my mother enter the palace. Named a concubine. Is it to protect it, and not to covet its beauty? Chen Qiuniang sat cross-legged, thinking carefully about Zhao Kuangyin who she had seen these days, and seemed to really have the world in mind. Hell-bent on ending troubled times. I don't have much addiction to beauty.
Zhang Ci nodded. said: "The Zhao family is the most peaceful of the emperors of all dynasties. But even so, don't forget that he is a generation of heroes, and today is undecided. Internal and external troubles, the Song Dynasty was crumbling, how could he be greedy for beauty. Moreover, the day before yesterday, I also confirmed from your mother and Zhao Kuangyin that the two of them were indeed selfless. He sent many people to protect your mother, one is to find out the treasure of the Meng family, after all, he is short of money; The second is not to allow others to disturb. ”
"In that case, my mother is not the favorite concubine of the Zhao family, so the history record that she interfered with the future heir and was shot by Zhao Guangyi may really be just a legend?" Chen Qiuniang thought that Fei Xiaolian had a better ending, and the whole person became happy.
Zhang Ci nodded and said, "I'm afraid it's a legend." Because of you, I have specially checked the life of Madame Hua Rui, and the arguments of the Seventh Ancestor are reasonable, and it is speculated that your mother was banished from the palace by Song Zu in 975 and hid in the countryside. ”
"It would be nice if that were the case." Chen Qiuniang nodded.
"Yun'er didn't tell the truth." Zhang Ci reached out to hold her hand and whispered. Chen Qiuniang didn't understand, raised her eyes to look at him, and asked, "What?" ”
Although Zhang Ci is dressed in women's makeup, his eyebrows are still his original face, and his eyebrows are smiling, and he looks tight. He whispered: "Just now, you listened to what those palace people said, and remembered that you are playing Fei Guifei at the moment, I am afraid that history should be robbed of you, right?" ”
Chen Qiuniang didn't expect him to be considerate, his nose was sour, and he pursed his lips and nodded.
Zhang Ci hugged her in his arms and said, "Don't worry." Zhang's and Lu's private soldiers, half of them were stationed at the dock in Yuzhou, ready to go, and the other half were camped outside Bianjing City. The Northern Han Dynasty and the Liao soldiers are all our troops. In the city, the eighteen horsemen have been cleaned up, and as for the traitors beside them, they have long been ambushed. The palace guards, I didn't let go of any of them when they should have pulled them out. ”
When Chen Qiuniang heard this, she knew that the rain in Bianjing had passed the sky, and her heart was relieved. But I heard Zhang Ci say again: "You are not old now, otherwise I would have married you immediately, and I would have been free from this lovesick torment." ”
"Ignore you." Chen Qiuniang could hear what he meant, and her face was hot with a "whoosh", but she didn't go over her face.
"The lady is getting smarter and smarter, and she seems to have studied people?" Zhang Ci quipped.
"Phew, I'm ignoring you." Chen Qiuniang struggled to stand up, and ran to the corner behind the curtain, but unexpectedly, an old palace woman came out of the horizontal oblique and shouted, "Okay, which palace girl are you, you don't work during the day, but you are lazy here." With whom did you have a private meeting? ”
"Ah, aunt, don't blame, I'm the sprinkler of Jinse Garden." Chen Qiuniang hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Phew, there are a lot of lazy people. Don't think that if you move out of Jinse Garden, I will spare you. Today, I'm going to look at who you're having a private meeting with. If it's a ** palace, it's terrible. As she spoke, the old lady stepped forward and lifted the curtain. As soon as the curtain was opened, the old palace woman only saw a girl in palace clothes, but her face was shining, making the whole palace lose its color.
Ah, the face of a nobleman. The old palace woman was the only one left with this thought.
When Zhang Ci Shi Ran walked past her, the old palace woman was already confused. Chen Qiuniang was surprised and said, "I thought that only my master could do illusions, but I never thought that you would also know some." ”
"What's so hard about that? In terms of illusion, if you talk about it, I still have a brotherhood with your master, but his master resolutely refuses to recognize me as a disciple. Zhang Ci said.
Chen Qiuniang's gossip heart came, and she asked several times. Zhang Ci smiled, only cast a small illusion, and the two of them walked towards Jinse Garden in a bright light, and no palace person stopped them along the way. All the way back, Chen Qiuniang knew that the patriarch of the Zhang clan was going to learn illusions. However, there were very few people who were good at illusions, and the only one who wanted to be successful in this vein was Mr. Tianyi. Mr. Tianyi admired the Pan family in his early years, and the Pan family, and the two descendants are from the Pan family, one of which is Su Qingyuan. The Nine Great Families wanted to ask Mr. Tianyi to teach Zhang Ci illusion, but Mr. Tianyi refused on the spot. The reason for the refusal was that the selection of the leaders of the nine major families was too cold-blooded, and he deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors. Not worthy of contamination. Later, a few years later, Su Qingyuan changed his identity by falling to the waterfall, became Mr. Xinghe, Fuguang Gongzi, and became friends with Zhang Ci. By chance, Zhang Ci was able to meet Mr. Tianyi. As soon as Mr. Tianyi saw him, he was amazed and taught him some illusions, except that he was not allowed to have the status of master and apprentice, and he should be a friend.
"Did my ancestor say that you have good bones? Have a cheats to sell you? Chen Qiuniang laughed wildly. Sit down straight on the couch.
Zhang Ci suddenly took off her women's makeup, changed into a green shirt and robe, leaned against the window and glanced at her, and said, "What's the matter?" He only said that my face was on the rim. Mysterious and mysterious. I'm afraid that I will have some creation. ”
Chen Qiuniang heard this. I am very interested in this Mr. Tianyi, but I have been learning art in Fuyun Villa all these years, and I have never heard the master talk about the master. And Xiaohuan and Yunxin didn't know about Master Zu. When asked a few times, he shook his head in confusion and said that he had never seen Master Zu, nor had he heard his son mention it. Now Zhang Ci seems to be an insider, listening to his statement, Mr. Tianyi is a very cultivated person, this crossing, since science and technology can't do it, then metaphysics or can. So, she asked, "Does Lang Jun know where Mr. Tianyi is now?" ”
Zhang Ci shook his head and said, "Since Pan's death, he has traveled all over the world, and it is difficult to find immortals. ”
"It's a pity, if you can see him, with his creation, or you can get a glimpse or two in the crossing." Chen Qiuniang said her thoughts.
"Maybe-" Zhang Ci nodded, and then said, "He may really be able to, I remember that when he taught me illusion the day, he said something obscure, saying that the Nine Great Families were originally void and should not appear in this world. When I continued to ask, he said that perhaps the fate of heaven and earth has its own rules and numbers. Now that he thought about it, he was afraid that he knew that the skills possessed by the Nine Great Families should not be all in this world. ”
Chen Qiuniang's heart was very moved, if Mr. Tianyi was not a person who traveled through time, but a person who really knew illusion, there must really be a way, but this gentleman came and went without a trace, and he didn't know when he could find a trace. Thinking of this, Chen Qiuniang's mood also darkened a lot.
Zhang Ci saw her thoughts, so he stepped over and hugged her in his arms, and whispered: "Don't worry, even if it rains, arrows, and wind knives, I will protect you with my life." It is good to be able to cross time and space and find a pure land. If not, I will entrust you with a pure land. ”
She listened emotionally, tears wet her eyes, but she didn't say anything, just leaned over, hugged Zhang Ci tightly, and pressed her face against his chest.
"If you are scorching the sun, in my heavens. In a few years, when you are old, we will be married. Married and having children, the white heads are inseparable. He whispered in her ear.
Chen Qiuniang's tears rained down, and she didn't know what to say. God gave her the most bumpy fate, but it also allowed her to cross time and space and meet the treatment that is difficult to find in the world. This hugged tightly, hoping that fate would favor them and let them stay together for a lifetime.
The two hugged for a long time, and the sound of the announcement sounded outside the house, but it was Zhao Guangmei who came.
Chen Qiuniang had to avoid being in the room, and Zhang Ci Yirong went to the main hall to meet with Zhao Guangmei. Zhao Guangmei came this time to report on the situation in Bianjing, saying that Zhang Yongde and Pan Mei both returned to the court, the Liao soldiers had retreated and returned to the Liao border, and the Northern Han Dynasty was still open. Pan Mei has been divided into three armies, intending to encircle, as for the traitors and lackeys in the capital, they are all ambushed.
"Hard work third brother." Zhang Ci said.
Zhao Guangmei put on a military uniform, bowed her hand, and said: "Guangmei is ashamed, she was terrified that day, and she was afraid that Bianjing would be destroyed by me." Fortunately, His Majesty was wise and turned the crisis into safety. ”
"Mitsumi is humble. Now that it's over, go and visit your mother. These days, she is also worried, and she doesn't even think about tea and dinner. Zhang Ci immediately said this, wanting to send Zhao Guangmei away. Who knew that he got the order, but he didn't leave, but said: "Your Majesty is wise, and the minister has a word, and he wants to dedicate himself to His Majesty." ”
When Chen Qiuniang heard this, she probably guessed that this gentleman came to persuade him, after all, rumors have been spreading recently. Zhao Kuangyin is about to become the Tang Xuanzong who "will not be the king early from now on".
"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Zhang Cilang said.
Zhao Guangmei said: "The minister is bold, just because rumors are spreading outside, saying that His Majesty favors Fei Guifei to crown the three palaces, and the dynasty will be dismissed for three days." This woman is a person who has lost the country, and she is ominous, and she is afraid of damaging Song Zhixiangrui. Please also think twice. ”
"I know about it. You go, talk to everyone, travel between two places, go thousands of miles, I am very tired, just cultivate, don't panic. Zhang Ci said.
When Zhao Guangmei heard this, she was very surprised: "The minister retires, and I wish your majesty a healthy body." ”
"Go ahead." Zhang Ci waved his hand, and Zhao Guangmei left.
It took Chen Qiuniang a moment before turning out from behind the screen. He said, "This man is also a pillar of the nation. ”
"It's a pity that fate is not good." Zhang Ci also sighed.
Chen Qiuniang was silent, because she thought of the mysterious thing of fate. Zhang Ci seemed to be able to feel the slight change in her feelings, and slowly put his hands on her shoulders, pressed them gently, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
The gestures and words gave her the power of tranquility, and she nodded, and said crisply, "Hey." ”
Zhang Ci laughed, and the two began to entertain themselves again.
In the next few days, both of them felt that the Song Palace was not fun. He hid in the Jinse Garden and stayed at home. The farthest time. It is fishing in the pavilion near the water in Jinse Garden, and the fish in Taiyi Lake are really lazy and not easy to fish. So the two made mahjong and pulled Jiang Fan and Jiang Hang, who came to resign, to play together. Played in the dark.
On the third day. Jiang Fan felt that if he continued to play, he would lose his mind. Hurriedly stopped, and pointed at Chen Qiuniang and said, "This is a demon girl, it's so scary." It's a shame that you didn't marry me, or I would have died young. ”
"Uhhh Chen Qiuniang pouted.
Jiang Fan also grimaced and painted his tongue. Jiang Hang, who has always been unsmiling, also smiled, and then said: "My mother asked me to tell you, the weather in the north is cold, and the Liao people have a fierce temperament, so you should be careful." ”
"Big brother, don't worry, please tell your mother too, don't read it." Jiang Fan solemnly bowed his hand, then looked at Chen Qiuniang, and said: "Today's farewell, Guan Shan's dream is broken, and I hope there will be no day to see each other again." ”
In this era when there is no Internet and telephone, it is the norm to say goodbye to the years, the music and books are broken, and life and death are uncertain. However, Jiang Fan's wish is that there will be no more days when they will see each other, but they hope that she will never have the slightest crisis. Chen Qiuniang understood what he meant by this: If she is in trouble, he will definitely come to the rescue.
"Thank you, Brother Jiang, for your blessings. Fate gathers and scatters, there is a fixed number, and I hope that it will be cherished after farewell. Chen Qiuniang tried her best to stabilize her feelings, tears glistening.
Seeing this, Zhang Ci pulled Jiang Hang into the house, saying that he would discuss the major affairs of Shuzhong together, and left Chen Qiuniang to say goodbye to Jiang Fan.
In late spring and early summer, the sun is bright and the sky is blue. The two stood under the willow tree, just as they had met on the afternoon many years ago.
"Don't worry, I'll guard the Northland for you." He said.
"I owe you the hell." She was always sorry for him.
"Everybody has a number of lives, you don't have to. Now, the world has decided that the nine major families are all under Zhang Ci's control, and all forces are being monitored by the nine major families, both openly and secretly. In three years and five years, you will travel the world without worry. Jiang Fan said, his eyes always looking at the sky high and far away, the sky was wisps of floating clouds, and there were harriers flying in high school.
"Even if you say so, I don't want to go." She sighed.
Jiang Fan laughed and said, "You, why do you have to be like this? In two years, I will find a lover, marry a wife, have children, and live this life. I'm living well, why don't you want to go? ”
"Hmm. You live well. She repeated it in a low voice.
"Definitely." His tone was sonorous and powerful.
Chen Qiuniang didn't know what to say, she just followed his line of sight, and it was a few red-clothed palace ladies picking the budding lotus.
"I'll leave for Beijing right away. If it's too late, I'm afraid it will change. Although Yan Yan is a barbarian woman, she is all good at riding and shooting, and she is not as smart as she is. I'm afraid that she alone can't suppress those old men. Jiang Fan said suddenly.
"Well, I'll send you then." Chen Qiuniang felt a little reluctant in her heart.
Jiang Fan waved his hand and said, "No need, you must say goodbye to you for a thousand miles, and you and I will say goodbye." ”
Chen Qiuniang didn't insist, but said: "Brother Jiang is careful all the way, and he wants to be safe every year." ”
"Naturally. The beautiful recipes you give are so rich that you want to taste them to the fullest. As he spoke, he rolled over his horse and waved at her.
Chen Qiuniang let out a "hmm" and laughed and cried. Jiang Fan left a sentence before galloping on the horse: "The last word, give it to your best friend: treat Jiang Yu with emotion, so as not to leave a curse." ”
Before Chen Qiuniang could answer, Jiang Fan had already ridden away from the dust, leaving her standing under the smoke-like willow tree, seeing his horse disappear from sight. After a long time, she turned around and saw Zhang Ci standing behind her.
"Jiang Fan is gone." She said.
Zhang Ci nodded, walked over slowly, put the splendid big hat on her, and put his arm around her shoulders and went to Jinse Garden. Along the way, the two of them were silent, and when they returned to Jinse Garden, he said: "These days, I don't know how to tell you about Chai Yu. ”
"What's wrong with him?" Chen Qiuniang asked softly. In fact, she vaguely knew in her heart that Chai Yu was no longer the stubborn young man with the cleanest eyes. A person's ** can make a person very terrifying, even a monster, into another person. At least the last time I saw him, he was full of anger. And after contacting Zhao Kuangyin this time, Chen Qiuniang understood better: Zhao Kuangyin himself is in charge of the country is the most beneficial to the people, and he is the most suitable for the world. And the gloomy Chai Yu is in charge of the world, she can't imagine what it will be like.
Zhang Ci frowned and said: "At that time, I thought about it shallowly, thinking that if Zhao Kuangyin was too forceful, he would be replaced and Chai Yu would be put on the throne, which could be regarded as Zhang's repayment of Chai's kindness back then." And you won't be too upset, after all, he's your friend and has saved his life. What's more, he is extremely talented in his own right, and if he is used to govern the world, it is also excellent. But as soon as Cangzhou saw it, Jiang Fan sent someone to stare at him, and I also let go of my eyeliner. Chai Yu is afraid that he is no longer the Chai Yu of the day. ”
Chen Qiuniang generally knew what Zhang Ci said, but she didn't understand the last sentence, and immediately asked: "What does Lang Jun mean by 'Chai Yu is no longer the Chai Yu of the day'?" (To be continued......)
