Chapter 267: Triumphant Return
The courtyard of Qin Mengjiao's house is not large, with three rooms, the main hall in the middle, one room on the left and one on the left and right, and the kitchen and firewood room on the side of the courtyard.
The yard is also just the size of the width of the house, but the yard is a bit long.
It is enough for a family to live together in such a small courtyard.
The door was slammed, and Zhao Yuniang's voice came from outside.
"Open the door, you old immortal, open the door for me."
Zhao Yuniang's voice was very loud.
Lian'er on the side was so frightened that she hid directly behind Qin Mengjiao.
Seeing that Lian'er was frightened, the two children were also scared and cried.
Zhao Canniang hurriedly squatted down and coaxed Xian'er and Le'er.
Qin Mengjiao sighed helplessly: "You see it's here again, this day is not to let people live a quiet life." ”
Qin frowned and said, "Is it okay to let her be like this, if it really doesn't work, report to the official!" This is also considered to be a disturbance of people's homes. ”
Zhao Yuniang's approach is shameless in the eyes of the Qin family, even if she doesn't abide by women's morals, she still does things like abandoning her family and children.
Qin Mengjiao smiled bitterly: "I thought so, but Yi Ke told me not to go, saying that it could be regarded as a husband and wife, although she was a little inauthentic, she still gave us a child." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Canniang looked at Lian'er, looking at Lian'er's timid appearance, a little distressed.
Xian'er didn't cry anymore, but Le'er still couldn't coax her, probably because Le'er was young and had never seen such a scene, and she was afraid to imagine.
Outside, Zhao Yuniang's shouting and scolding continued.
Le'er's crying also grew louder and louder.
Zhao Canniang frowned and handed the child to the Qin family: "Mother help me hold the child." ”
Le'er lay on Zhao Canniang's shoulder with a frightened face, but she refused to go to the Qin family.
Zhao Canniang walked directly to the door, stretched out her hand and opened the door.
Zhao Yuniang did not stand by the door. Instead, he stood aside and scolded.
As soon as the door opened, Zhao Yuniang didn't expect the door to be opened.
But when I saw that it was Zhao Canniang who came out of the door. Zhao Yuniang "chuckled" in her heart.
Le'er was still crying, crying that made Zhao Canniang feel a little anxious.
"What are you making a fuss about? I didn't hear that the children were scared and cried, and they wanted to make trouble to the side, and I also knew how you still had the face to come here to make noise, and those things you did, if you changed to a face, you wouldn't have known to hide there and hide, you're good, you're actually noisy here, when we're all bullying, aren't we? ”
Zhao Canniang has always disliked Zhao Yuniang. Now that I see Zhao Yuniang, I naturally don't have good words.
Zhao Yuniang can usually make a lot of noise here, but Zhao Canniang is here She is very scared, she is a helpless person now, Zhao Canniang is different now, if you want to harm her or deal with her, it is a matter of words.
Zhao Yuniang glanced at Zhao Canniang worriedly, and then said: "What are you making trouble, I didn't make noise at your doorstep." ”
Zhao Yuniang said with insufficient confidence.
After saying this, Zhao Yuniang turned around and left directly.
Zhao Canniang closed the door, and Le'er didn't cry when she saw Zhao Yuniang leaving, but she looked at Zhao Canniang aggrievedly and said, "Who is that person." Why are you so fierce! ”
Zhao Canniang stretched out her hand and touched Le'er's head, and said, "That! Later, my mother will tell you who it is, Le'er doesn't have to worry about her mother here. ”
Le'er nodded, still a little scared in her heart.
Close the door. Zhao Canniang walked into the courtyard.
looked at Qin Mengjiao and said: "It's not a way for you to hide, the neighbors on the left and right still think that you are really sorry for her, and besides, you are all about to get married." How can the bride live like this, and it's not worrying about it like this. ”
Zhao Canniang just mentioned such a thing. won't help, left or right it has nothing to do with her.
Qin Mengjiao nodded. It's as if I know what to do.
Look at the sky and go back.
Qin turned around and put a silver ingot on Qin Mengjiao's hand.
Zhao Canniang looked at it, it should be a silver ingot of ten taels of silver.
"You take this, you can't be shabby when you get married, you can do what you want, don't be reluctant to give up the silver, Yi Ke's legs are not disgusted by other girls, and it's good to think about it."
Qin Mengjiao gratefully accepted the silver, looked at the Qin family and said, "Thank you, second sister." ”
Qin smiled slightly: "Don't be polite, the eldest brother may come to Yucheng after a while, I hope he can catch up with Yi Ke and get married." ”
Going home with the Qin family, Zhao Canniang's face has been a little uncertain.
Le'er had forgotten what had just happened and was having fun with Xian'er.
"Mother, why do you say that Zhao Yuniang is so shameless? If it were someone else, I'm afraid I'd live in hiding! She still ...... like that. ”
The Qin family looked at Zhao Canniang helplessly and said: "You also know that Zhao Yuniang, if you want to be faced, so many things will not happen, after all, we don't care about this matter, the Zhao family, you also know that the family is ruined now, I heard about the Chu family some time ago." ”
If it weren't for the Qin family's mention, Zhao Canniang wouldn't have thought of the Chu family.
"Chu's? Didn't she run away with someone else? ”
Qin nodded: "It's a runaway, but it didn't end well, it's similar to Zhao Yuniang, she was sold, but she was lucky, because she was older, so she didn't sell much silver, and she hooked up with an old man in the Goolan Courtyard, and the two were together, redeemed her body and are now farming in the countryside." ”
Zhao Canniang felt a little embarrassed when she heard this.
I didn't expect that the whole family before was now like this, although there are their shadows in the middle, but this is also the other party's own sin.
Zhao Quanfa is dead, Zhao Quanquan is dead, and Zhao Shiyou is still dead.
And the Yue family also committed suicide by such cruel means, and now that I think about it, it is really a sin.
will think about it, the women of the Zhao family did not end up much better one by one.
The only ones who look better are Zhao Bingniang and Zhao Qingniang, who are now family.
"People, you just can't do bad things, people are doing it, and the sky is watching. There will always be a report for the other. Qin said with emotion.
There is sympathy in the heart, but there is also resentment.
After all, she has also come from such a bitter day step by step to today.
In Yucheng, Zhao Canniang took the child to play for two more days. I was preparing to leave on this day.
But news came from the royal city.
The Five Tiger Generals and the Black Panther Sect Leader returned victorious.
All of a sudden, the entire city of Yucheng rejoiced.
There was a war at the border, and this fight was many years. What Zhao Canniang knows alone is that in recent years, the border has not been peaceful.
The head of the Black Panther Sect and the Five Tiger Generals have been at the border for so many years, and they have finally been able to return triumphantly, which is good news.
After Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu heard this, they hurriedly inquired about how many people had arrived, but it was okay not to ask, and when they inquired, they learned that the Five Tiger Generals and the Black Panther Sect Leader would be able to reach the royal city in five days.
Hearing this, Zhao Canniang couldn't sit still.
I haven't seen a few people in two or three years, and I naturally still miss it a little in my heart.
Discuss with Chen Zhongqiu. Zhao Qingfeng and Chen Zhongqiu decided to go to Wangcheng to have a look.
Anyway, this time I came out, if I don't go, I will definitely leave regrets in my heart.
The two children had never seen the Five Tiger Generals and the Black Panther Sect Leader, but they heard Zhao Canniang say a lot of things about them, and they wanted to go and see them.
Pestering Zhao Canniang is about to go.
The Qin family also wanted to go out for a walk, and also wanted to exercise the Chen family, so with the shopkeeper Zhang, the family decided to go to Wangcheng to have a look.
Zhao Canniang thinks. After coming out this time, I'm afraid there won't be much chance to come out in the future, after all, there is still a big family at home, and there are so many things.
Several young ladies of the Chen family are going to get married one by one. There is also the family's business, some things, and it is only a little bit idle now.
The plan was rushed, and there was nothing to prepare.
The three carriages of the family went out of the city.
The Chen family's business is taken care of by the shopkeeper. And Zhao Qingfeng can also help take care of it, and it is relatively fast to deal with.
There was no rush along the way. It can also be regarded as a royal city to visit the mountains and rivers.
The group is a calculated time. When they arrived in Wangcheng, it was only one day before the Five Tiger Generals and the Black Panther Sect Leader returned.
Zhao Qingfeng often has to go to Wangcheng to do things. So there is a small courtyard in the royal city.
After the group was arranged, the two children began to quarrel and wanted to go out to play.
Wangcheng is more lively than Yucheng, and there are more fresh gadgets than Yucheng.
Both the Qin family and the shopkeeper Zhang were a little tired.
Zhao Qingfeng is busy with business, and he can't take a break at all.
The rest is only Zhao Canniang's family, which is more leisurely.
Zhao Canniang and Zhao Qingfeng walked on the street with their two children, one holding a child.
There are quite a few people on the streets.
Zhao Canniang sighed as she walked: "The last time I came, there weren't many people on the closed streets here. This time it feels completely different. ”
Chen Zhongqiu smiled slightly: "Think about it, there are really a lot of things we have experienced. ”
"Yes, we have experienced a lot of things, and we will run our business well when we go back this time, not to mention becoming a famous wealthy merchant in the ancient Zhou Kingdom, at least we can make a name for ourselves in the neighborhood."
Zhao Canniang wanted to work hard when she was young, and enjoy it when she was old, and spend her old age with Chen Zhongqiu in a quiet Zhuangzi.
Chen Zhongqiu stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Canniang's hand and said softly: "The most important thing for you now is not to take care of business matters, but to think about how to have children." ”
The whispers of the two, when these words came out, Zhao Canniang's face turned red directly.
"You just think about the child, and I want to have it too, but since the last time, the child can't get pregnant, and I don't know if it's really hurt."
After Zhao Canniang finished speaking, Chen Zhongqiu was also a little worried: "Let it be, this matter is not in a hurry, and I will not urge you, we can have children's affairs, and it is enough to have Xian'er and Le'er." ”
After such a long time, Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu have long been accustomed to treating Xian'er as their own children.
Early the next day, the city began to be lively.
Even if Zhao Qingfeng was inside the house, they could hear the noise on the street outside.
Today is the day of the triumphant return of the Black Panther Sect Leader and the Five Tiger Generals.
Naturally, the people of the city should celebrate.
Zhao Canniang was also woken up by the noise.
Then I remembered that I had to go to the city today to welcome the return of the Five Tiger Generals and the Black Panther Sect Leader.
After quickly getting dressed and taking care of the two children, Zhao Canniang walked out of the door.
Qin and Shopkeeper Zhang were playing Tai Chi in the courtyard. Tai Chi health preservation, Zhao Canniang has always called Qin and Zhang Shopkeeper to insist. The two have been insisting.
I have to say that since playing Tai Chi, Qin and Shopkeeper Zhang feel a lot better.
Zhao Qingfeng handled most of the matter yesterday. There is time for today, too.
Whether it was as the people of the Ancient Zhou Kingdom, or as good friends of the Five Tiger Generals and the Black Panther Sect Leader, they should go out to greet a few people.
Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu took the child and Zhao Qingfeng to the main street.
Starting from the city gate, all the people standing along the street along the way are people watching the excitement.
Officers and soldiers stood by to maintain order.
Of course, Zhao Canniang and Zhao Qingfeng would not stand below.
As early as yesterday, Zhao Qingfeng had already booked a tea house facing the street.
On the second floor, I just saw the situation downstairs from the window.
Zhao Canniang stood by the window with her two children, looking down.
Chen Zhongqiu said with a smile: "Canniang, don't worry, they haven't entered the city yet, it's been more than two years, and it feels like it's still yesterday when you think about it." ”
Chen Zhongqiu and the Five Tiger Generals did not have a good relationship. Chen Zhongqiu sighed that when he and Zhao Canniang got married, the Five Tiger Generals and the Black Panther Sect Leader added makeup to the beautiful scene.
Zhao Canniang smiled slightly: "Yes, time flies so fast, it feels like yesterday, but if you think about it, so many years have passed." ”
Zhao Qingfeng sat on the side and drank tea, but he was a little worried.
"Canniang, there's something I want to tell you."
Zhao Qingfeng felt uncomfortable holding it in his heart.
A few people wanted a private room, so they were not worried about the secret leaking, and Zhao Qingfeng's voice was small, so there was no taboo.
Zhao Canniang saw Zhao Qingfeng's serious expression. put the child down and sat next to Zhao Qingfeng.
Le'er and Xian'er were eating with candied fruit on the side, but they weren't noisy.
Zhao Qingfeng sighed and glanced outside. Only then did he say worriedly: "I know that you have a good relationship with the head of the Black Panther Sect, so you have some things to say better." ”
Zhao Canniang nodded and motioned for Zhao Qingfeng to continue.
Zhao Qingfeng continued: "The so-called high merit covers the master. You know that the Black Panther Leader is righteous, and I also believe that the Black Panther Leader will not do anything out of the ordinary. It's just that we believe that it's nothing at all, and this matter can only be believed by the emperor. ”
Zhao Qingfeng spoke quite tactfully.
Zhao Canniang heard Zhao Qingfeng say this. I already thought about what Zhao Qingfeng was going to say next.
"Brother can just say whatever he wants, don't worry too much."
Zhao Canniang reminded that there were no outsiders in the house, so it was better to say it directly and cheerfully.
When Zhao Qingfeng heard this, he sighed and continued: "Since ancient times, how many heroes have been in the beginning of the scenery, but in the end they did not end up in a good end, I want to say Canniang, you should understand, the five tiger generals are okay, after all, they just obey orders, but the panther sect leader is different, the panther sect leader's credit this time is the greatest, not only went into battle to kill the enemy, but also commanded the five tiger generals to fight." ”
"The emperor loves and hates such a person in his heart, so he will definitely give the Black Panther Sect Leader some good glory at the beginning, but in the future, the life of the Black Panther Sect Leader will not be too easy."
These are all related to the battle of power and conspiracy, originally Zhao Qingfeng didn't want to talk too much, but thinking that the head of the Five Tigers was very good to Zhao Canniang, and it was good for their family.
He couldn't watch the Black Panther Sect Leader end up with a good end, so he reminded Zhao Canniang here.
"What my brother wants to say is to tell me to persuade the head of the Black Panther Sect to go into hiding, right?"
Zhao Canniang still didn't understand what Zhao Qingfeng meant.
Zhao Qingfeng nodded: "That's what I want to say, Canniang, you understand people, you know that the relationship between me and that person is not bad, but they are all personal friends who sighed to me last time when they were together, as for what I said, I can't tell you, I just want to tell you, I want to remind the head of the Black Panther to pay attention." ”
The high merit covers the master, which is a taboo in the court.
And since the emperor ascended, many people were not convinced.
The emperor wants to sit firmly in his position, but he obviously can't do it without making a lot of effort.
Just imagine, the emperor must be worried that the head of the Black Panther Sect has a different heart at this time.
After listening to Zhao Qingfeng's words, Zhao Canniang felt a little emotional.
"I know, I'll remind you of this next time I see the head of the Black Panther Sect."
Zhao Canniang was talking here, and the sound of firecrackers came from the direction of the city gate.
And the people in the streets began to boil.
Even upstairs, Zhao Canniang could hear what the people below were saying.
"The Black Panther Sect Leader and the Five Tiger Generals have returned in triumph."
Zhao Canniang couldn't help but stretch her head and look outside.
In the private room, the city gate was not visible at all, but Zhao Canniang couldn't help but stick out her head and watch.
Chen Zhongqiu and Zhao Qingfeng also stood up.
"Are you coming?"
Zhao Canniang shook her head and looked at Chen Zhongqiu and said, "I guess I will have to wait for a while, I heard that this time the emperor sent the left and right ministers to go out to greet them." ”
I have to wait a long time just for the pomp and circumstance of the meeting.
Chen Zhongqiu glanced at the distance and whispered, "Let's wait a little longer." ”
Zhao Canniang shook her head: "I'll watch for a while." ”
Chen Zhongqiu and Zhao Qingfeng continued to sit down, and the two children would be very happy as long as they had something to eat.
The preserves were delicious, and the two children had a lot of fun.
After about a quarter of an hour, the sound of horses' hooves was heard.
From a distance, Zhao Canniang saw the majestic Black Panther Sect Leader on horseback, and the Five Tiger Generals who followed closely behind.
And the people began to rejoice again.
Zhao Canniang was infected by everyone, and her mood was involuntarily excited.
Chen Zhongqiu and Zhao Qingfeng stood by the window with their two children in their arms and watched.
"Big Panther." Zhao Canniang also shouted excitedly.
The head of the Black Panther Sect and the General of the Five Tigers, who had just walked to the bottom of the tea house, only felt that they heard a familiar voice, and when they raised their heads and looked at the window on the second floor of the street, they saw the excited Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu, Zhao Qingfeng and the two children.
The head of the Black Panther Sect smiled at Zhao Canniang, and left directly after making a gesture in his hand.
Of course, Zhao Canniang understood the meaning of the gesture. (To be continued......)
