In the bamboo forest, Jiang Feng had already discussed with everyone, and ten people who had worked hard escorted Chen Qiuniang back to Liuhe Town, and the rest returned to the cottage.

And because Chen Qiuniang couldn't ride a horse, Jiang Feng and the others were in a hurry at that time and didn't bring a carriage, so Jiang Feng let Chen Qiuniang ride with his sister Jiang Yue.

"What do you think is good?" Jiang Feng finished talking to Chen Qiuniang about the arrangement, and did not forget to ask for her opinion.

This is a very polite man, Chen Qiuniang hurriedly gave up her hand and said, "Brother Jiang has arranged it very properly. Qiu Niang is very grateful. It's really hard for everyone. ”

"Well, what's there? I can send you back to Liuhe Town alone. Jiang Fan, who was standing on the side, pursed his lips, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was the words of the offending bear child.

Chen Qiuniang glared at him and said, "Look at your mouth." You are like this in Bianjing, you have to cause trouble for your family. ”

Jiang Fan saw that Chen Qiuniang seemed to be disgusted in her words, and immediately said flatteringly: "Okay, okay, can't I change it?" Don't dislike me. ”

Chen Qiuniang looked at Jiang Fan, her heart also softened, and she said softly: "If you keep the rules in everything, after thinking about it, you will become a great thing." Who dislikes you? Everyone just wants you to be successful. ”

Jiang Fan didn't talk much at this time, so he only pursed his lips and said "um". There was a woman in a green shirt next to her who laughed and said, "Look at you, you're not young, but you're still like an unweaned baby, and you're not sensible at all." It's Qiu Niang's young age, and she is more measured than you when she finishes doing things. You are your wife, I think if you don't change your temperament, you really don't deserve her. ”

This woman in a green shirt is Jiang Feng's sister Jiang Yue, fifteen or sixteen years old, not tall, but quite delicate, petite and cute. With a fair complexion, apricot eyes and willow eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and a pair of bright eyes, he has to fight with Chai Yu. Because she followed her brother to the top of the grass mountain, she is more like a capable chivalrous woman in martial arts novels, with a strong suit draped in an oblique frame and a waist knife hanging on her waist, which has a different style.

"I want you to say it." Jiang Fan gave him a blank look, and then said to Chen Qiuniang, "If you don't like their escort, I will ride you back to Liuhe Town." ”

"Boy, just by looking at your words, I know that you are unreliable. Don't waste time, no more chirping and crooked nonsense, it will be dark before you reach Liuhe Town. Jiang Yue joked with Jiang Fan with a smile, and then stretched out her hand to Chen Qiuniang and said, "Let's go, it has taken a lot of time to go to Yu Mingshan this morning to deal with that matter." If it's dark in this mountain, it's dangerous, but it's fine during the day. My brother and they aren't familiar with the situation here. ”

"There's Sister Lao Yue." Chen Qiuniang's mouth was sweet and she stretched out her hand.

"You're welcome. I heard Brother Luo say that your cooking skills are excellent, and you are simply delicious. It would be nice to have the opportunity to cook a meal in the future to repay the reward. Jiang Yue joked.

Jiang Feng on the side made a stiff face and scolded: "Xiaoyue, there is no sense of proportion." ”

Jiang Yue hugged Chen Qiuniang and jumped on the horse, and said, "Big brother, you are too strict to be a man." Life must be happy, and life should be as easy as possible. ”

What else does Jiang Feng have to say. Jiang Yue flicked the whip, and the horse neighed and ran.

Jiang Fan was negotiating with Jiang Feng's subordinates because he didn't have horses, and in the end he didn't know how to negotiate, Jiang Fan led the horses and hummed and said that Jiang Feng's subordinates were simply black-hearted businessmen, and they were so expensive, and Jiang Feng was being counted down along the way.

Jiang Feng didn't say a word, focusing on the road ahead. Chen Qiuniang and Jiang Yue were both thin, although they were two people and one horse, but the weight of the horse was not slower than that of only one horse.

Along the way, the mountain turns. The group did not stop for a moment, and went straight to Liuhe Town. When the last touch of sunset disappeared from the vicissitudes of Liuhe Town, the group finally saw Liuhe Town.

When they arrived in Liuhe Town, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the exhausted everyone reined in their horses and walked to Liuhe Town in the evening breeze.

Come from Linqiong and enter from the east gate of Liuhe Town. As soon as the group entered the East Gate, they saw that under the East Gate Town card, the guards of the Zhang Mansion were waiting for them, and the first person was holding a long sword and carrying a long bow, which was Jiang Hang.

When Jiang Feng saw this formation, he couldn't help but become vigilant, and pressed one hand on the saber. Jiang Fan stepped forward on horseback, side by side with Jiang Feng, and whispered, "It's okay." That's my brother and someone waiting here to get me. ”

Jiang Feng didn't speak, just glanced at Jiang Fan, and one hand was still pressed on his waist.

Jiang Fan turned over and fell off the horse, threw the reins at him, and said, "The horse will be returned to you." ”

Jiang Feng took the horse and said, "You have already paid, this horse is yours." ”

"Then give it to Qiu Niang for me, and in addition, teach her to ride a horse. I know you're going to be doing business in Liuhe Town, and you're going to stay for a while. Jiang Fan said seriously.

Jiang Feng was still silent, just holding the reins and looking at Jiang Fan.

"Well, Qiu Niang's tuition, I'll give it to Miss Xiaoyue." Jiang Fan didn't care whether Jiang Feng agreed or not, and then took out a few pieces of broken silver and stuffed them into Jiang Yue's hand, saying, "Teach her to ride a horse for me and teach her some self-defense skills, I'm worried that no one will protect her when I leave." ”

Chen Qiuniang's nose was sour, and she wanted to say something, but she felt that it was not appropriate to say anything. Jiang Fan turned his gaze to her, and his eyes smiled like a crescent moon.

"Qiu Niang, aren't you very moved?" Jiang Fan asked with a smile.

Before he changed, Chen Qiuniang would disdain to hit him, thinking that he was just a bear child. But at this moment, she was really moved.

A reckless teenager, she has never done anything for him, not even a good face. But at the moment of parting, he was still thinking about planning for her safety. Although this kind of plan may not have any effect in the face of real danger, his heart is really good for her.

"Hmm. I was very impressed. She laughed, tears streaming down her eyes.

"Hey, hey. It's good to know. I'm leaving. Jiang Fan smiled, then turned around and strode towards Jiang Hang.

Suddenly, the evening wind became stronger, blowing Jiang Fan's clothes flying, and his falling sideburns danced wildly. He didn't look back this time, walked straight to Jiang Hang's side, and let Jiang Hang's men tie him up and throw him into the carriage.

After Jiang Hang took people away, Jiang Yue whispered: "This kid is not so annoying. ”

Chen Qiuniang didn't speak, but watched Jiang Hang and his party turn around the corner and disappear. Jiang Feng then ordered everyone to move forward and sent Chen Qiuniang back to Yunlai Inn.

At the Yunlai Inn, Panqing only left a crack in the door, and the whole person sat on the front steps of the door, dozing with one hand on his face. At first, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, but he only glanced at it and didn't care.

After that, Jiang Feng and the others reined in front of the Yunlai Inn, and Pan Qing suddenly stood up as a precaution, and asked in some horror: "You guys, what are you going to do?" ”

"Brother Panqing, it's me." Chen Qiuniang shouted happily.

When Panqing heard this, he rubbed his eyes and said happily: "Ah, Qiu Niang is you back, great, great." ”

"Yes." Chen Qiuniang replied while turning over and dismounting with the help of Jiang Yue.

"I'll sue Sù Gongzi." Panqing was very happy, ran two steps, stopped again, and asked, "These people sent Qiu Niang back, but they want to stay overnight at Yunlai Inn?" It's getting late, too. ”

"We still have something to do, so we won't delay here." Jiang Yue replied.

"Oh, that's right. Then thank you for sending Qiu Niang back. Panqing clasped his hands together and saluted everyone.

Jiang Feng nodded slightly, waved his hand, and galloped out. The rest of the men also rode their horses to follow. Jiang Yue threw the reins of the horse that Jiang Fan had bought earlier to Pan Qing and shouted, "Boy, follow." ”

As soon as Panqing instinctively took it, Jiang Yue had already turned the horse, and while riding the horse, he said to Chen Qiuniang: "I will stay in this town for a few days." I'll teach you how to ride a horse when I'm free. There will be a period later. ”

"Thank you, Sister Yue." Chen Qiuniang hurriedly said. Jiang Yue rode his horse for a long time.

"I thought that Commander Jiang lied to me, and I didn't see you come back when it was almost dark." Panqing said as he led Chen Qiuniang into the house, then closed the door of the store, and the two of them went back to the house together.

At this moment, it was dinner time, and the doorman opened the door, and when he saw that it was Panqing and Chen Qiuniang, he shouted happily: "Madam, Miss Chen is back, back." ”

Mrs. Chen was offering incense to her ancestors in the hall, and when she heard the shouts of the porter, she immediately gathered her dress and went to the courtyard. Chen Qiuniang and Pan Qing saw her only after passing through the inner door.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Mrs. Chen, dressed in plain clothes, walked over and grabbed Chen Qiuniang's hand very excitedly, and said, "I heard that Second Prince Zhang has returned home before dawn this morning." I remembered you, and sent Panqing to ask, but they all said that I didn't know you. I was worried for a while. ”

"Qiu Niang really shouldn't let Mrs. worry about me like this." Chen Qiuniang said politely.

Mrs. Chen shook her head and said, "How can you say that." This time, it was originally the grievances of our old Chen family that affected you, if you want to have three long and two short-"

"Mother, it's good for Qiu Niang to come back, don't say anything else." Chen Wenzheng, dressed in a white robe, walked out of the study and interrupted Mrs. Chen's words.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. I'll tell Xiaoqing to set the meal. Mrs. Chen looked very excited, lifted her skirt and walked to the kitchen, and Pan Qing also went to help, leaving Chen Qiuniang and Chen Wenzheng in the courtyard.

The night was pitch black, and there were a few stars in the sky, not very bright. The evening breeze hunted, blowing a huge gardenia in the courtyard swaying frighteningly.

"On that day, I wanted to wait for you to come back with me. Zhang Ergongzi sent someone to say, you come back with him. At that time, my mother was so frightened that she was not very good, so I didn't stay and wait for you. Chen Wenzheng explained.

"Childe said this. I understand. Chen Qiuniang hurriedly said.

Chen Wenzheng shook his head, sighed, and said, "You don't know, I've been worried for the past few days, and I regret that I didn't stubbornly wait to come back with you at that time." The young man of the powerful family is ridiculous, but I did not insist on walking with you, and left it to him. I can't sleep for the past few days, I just feel very scared. ”

Chen Qiuniang heard the sincere apology in his words, so she chuckled and said, "Childe doesn't need to mention it. Didn't I come back in good condition? ”

Chen Wenzheng nodded, and asked again: "Didn't the second son of Zhang say that you should come back with them." Why did I send someone to pick you up from Zhang's Mansion this morning, but they said they didn't know you. Later, when I met Commander Jiang, I heard that you were not traveling with them. Saying that you may not be back until later, let's not rush and just wait at home. Qiu Niang, what the hell is going on? ”

"It's not a big deal. It's just that he offended Zhang Ergongzi, so he said that he had nothing to do with me, told me to get out, and then made people leave me at the junction of Linqiong and Meizhou. Chen Qiuniang calmly narrated, hiding some unnecessary things.

Chen Wenzheng was still angry when he heard it, and reprimanded that Zhang Cizhen was not a man, let alone a thing, saying that the official roads along the way were all lofty mountains and mountains, infested with gangsters and beasts, and actually threw a little girl in such a dangerous place.

"Childe, don't be angry. Then it is best to have nothing to do with it in the future. If he has any trouble, it will affect us. Chen Qiuniang hurriedly said words of comfort and smoothed Chen Wenzheng's hair.

"Well, that's what Qiu Niang said. That Zhang family is a superficial scenery, and it won't be long before I am afraid that there will be a bloody disaster. Look at the rampant appearance of Zhang Cizhi who is complacent and arrogant, on the trip to Zhuxi Mountain, he should still release the secret firearms of the Zhang family, can the surnamed Zhao tolerate them! Chen Wenzheng analyzed the situation of the Zhang family with sturp, and his words were full of contempt for Zhang Ci.

Although Chen Qiuniang had analyzed the situation of the Zhang family and the difficulties of Zhang Ci, when she heard Chen Wenzheng talk about it at this moment, she suddenly felt that the situation of the Zhang family was more difficult than she thought.

I heard Dai Yuanqing mention it before, saying that Chai Rong was actually quite jealous of Zhang Yongde when he was in power, so he made a rumor of "checking as the son of heaven" to force Zhang Yongde to resign from power and prepare to weaken step by step. But Chai Rong had a short life, and before he could deal with Zhang Yongde, he died, leaving orphans and widows in power, and was soon mutined by Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao, and seized the country.

And Zhao Kuangyin, as the new emperor, was once the right-hand man of Chai Rong's military group, one of Chai Rong's dying ministers, and he obviously knew that the Zhang family might have a firearm with huge lethality, and the Zhang family was an extremely dangerous being.

So, in the face of such a Zhang family. What should Zhao Kuangyin do? Chen Qiuniang believes that as a qualified ruler, what must be done is that "the Zhang family cannot be kept, but the firearms must be controlled." And during this period when he did not have 100% control of firearms, he had to treat the Zhang family with courtesy, and he could not force them to join his hostility.

Zhao Kuangyin's mind can be seen. It is not known whether the Zhang family is mentally retarded or has a deeper purpose. But in history, the evaluation of Zhang Yongde is not very high, saying that he did not have much outstanding military talent in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, but because he married Guo Wei's daughter and rose to prominence all the way, and when he fought, his luck was beyond ordinary people. It is considered a mascot category, and he finally died at the age of 72.

If a qiē follows the historical development, the Zhang family should be worry-free. But Zhang Ci maybe. Because after Zhang Yongde, his sons and nephews seem to have disappeared from the history of the Song Dynasty, and there is no record of military and political activities.

What will be the fate of Zhang Ci? Chen Qiuniang couldn't find the slightest clue from her little historical knowledge. But from the big history, Zhang Yongde's ending should be more auspicious and less auspicious. Because Jiang Fan once said that when Zhang Ci was in Bianjing, he was a leader among the children of the family, a military genius, and his edge was too exposed. Such a person is in charge of the Zhang family, plus firearms of mass destruction, and the Zhang family has protégés all over the army. This will make Zhao Kuangyin sleepless at night.

He is just a dying man, who fights against fate in various ways, and in the end, he can't turn things around. When Chen Qiuniang thought of this, her resentment towards Zhang Ci for viciously throwing her on the official road before also decreased a lot.

"It's good to dissociate yourself from him, at least it won't cause murder. In this way, this is a welcome thing. You have to open a jar of wine today to celebrate, don't you say? Chen Wenzheng's smiling voice interrupted Chen Qiuniang's thoughts.

Chen Qiuniang nodded, and went to eat with Chen Wenzheng, who was full of interest. Xiaoqing prepared a sumptuous meal, and when she saw Chen Qiuniang coming, she couldn't help but be embarrassed, but she still took the initiative to apologize to her.

Chen Qiuniang shook her head and said, "It's a family, forget about those unpleasant ones, don't always remember them." Otherwise, where would I dare to trouble Sister Xiaoqing in the future. ”

Xiaoqing saw that Chen Qiuniang didn't embarrass her about painting privately, so she also said happily: "You call me sister, and I will call you Qiuniang's sister in the future, what's the use of me, just say it." ”

"Well, the first thing is to stop calling me Qiu Niang. One is that after this incident, there are always people who know that it has ruined its reputation; The second is that I also want to change my name so that I can run a hotel with my son in the future. Besides, Madame also said that I should act for men's clothing, and Qiu Niang is feminine in the end. Chen Qiuniang expressed her thoughts during the banquet.

Yes, she wants to change her name, and if she can, hide it, and when the restaurant makes money, she will live elsewhere.

After this time, she really didn't want to stay in Liuhe Town any longer. Don't say that the troublesome Zhang Ci is the marriage she hasn't withdrawn yet, and her fiancé Zhu Wenkang is also a character who can make life messy.

What's more, she has already shown her edge too much in Liuhe Town and Liucun. Moreover, her grandmother didn't know how to avoid suspicion, even a cat and a dog knew that she had served Concubine Fei. Hou Shu is dead, but she doesn't know how much of the old things that grandma has been involved in. She simply felt that if she continued to live here, life would definitely not be smooth.

"Huh? You're changing your name? Xiaoqing was surprised.

"Yes." Chen Qiuniang is very determined.

"Change your name, change your identity, change your way of living. Yes, you can. But the name was given by the ancestors, doesn't Qiu Niang care? Chen Wenzheng was quite thoughtful.

Chen Qiuniang shook her head lightly, and said with a wry smile: "I am a female baby, and my nickname is still Zhaodi, do you say that my ancestors will care what my name is?" The name of the female baby is taken at will, and she can't enter the ancestral hall after death, just the name of a cat and a dog. ”

Chen Wenzheng was speechless for a while, only coughed embarrassedly twice, drank a bowl of rice wine, and then said, "Since you have decided, what is it called?" ”

"Jiang Yun, the word Danfeng, seems to be the name of a handsome son!" Chen Qiuniang said with a smile. The word Danfeng is the signature of her writing brush in her previous life.

"Wonderful. The clouds are rolling and the clouds are comfortable, and there is something interesting about it. Danfeng is like blood, and it is crisp and refreshing in autumn, bright and warm. Chen Wenzheng explained on his own.

Chen Qiuniang also smiled and nodded in praise of him. Chen Wenzheng suddenly picked up the wine glass seriously and said, "From now on, you are Jiang Danfeng, and there is no Chen Qiuniang in the world." You don't have to call me son, if you don't dislike it, you can call me a big brother. ”

"How dare you dislike it." Chen Qiuniang took the wine glass and shouted "big brother" crisply, and Pan Qing, Xiaoqing, and Mrs. Chen were all smiling.

"Good. Brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are golden. Start today and go all out to build our food empire. Chen Wenzheng was very happy, the style of Confucianism on weekdays was completely abandoned, and at this moment, he looked like a heroic man with a sword and a sword.

After a meal, Chen Qiuniang also drank a few bowls of rice wine, and when the end ended, she was drunk and burst into tears for some reason.

When I fumbled and went back to my room to sleep and closed the door, I didn't know when I saw the sky and the hazy oval moon seemed to be covered with silk, and I couldn't see it clearly at all.

"It's going to rain heavily." She muttered before closing the door.

"After the rain, this cold spring day is about to pass. Everything recovers, and everything will get better. Xiaoqing, who was washing his feet with water on the well platform, said.

"Well, after the rain, it will be better as soon as it happens." She repeated Xiaoqing's words.

"Isn't it?" Xiaoqing replied, but the tone was also like drunk, and she didn't know what she was talking about.

"Good night." Chen Qiuniang closed the door and lay down on the bed. In her dazed consciousness, she was saying to herself, "Sleep, when you wake up, it's another beginning." Jiang Yun. ”RS
