Volume 2 The Ghost Soldier Welcomes the Driver Chapter 2 Reunion after a long absence
In the fifth year of Taihe, October has been in October, and it is noon.
Chang'an County, West City.
The woman's voice fell, and Zhang Yijun looked back at the outside of the store, and couldn't help but be stunned.
If you follow Zhang Yijun's gaze, you can see a beautiful woman wearing a cluster of apricot red beaded breast-length skirts, standing in the middle of a crowd of onlookers. The woman was no older than Zhang Yijun was two years old, but her eyes were full of maturity unique to married women. She wears light makeup on her face, her white forehead is decorated with a touch of peach plum blossoms, her handsome eyebrows and eyes are similar to Zhang Yijun's, she has the same pair of bright eyebrows, and she is looking at Zhang Yijun with the same surprised eyes.
Even if he has been separated for three years, his sister Zhang Yixuan's appearance, Zhang Yijun will never forget anything.
"Ah...... Sister?! ”
Zhang Yijun involuntarily cried out.
And with the next flick of his fingers, Yixuan actually pushed aside the crowd of onlookers at the door of the store, rushed into the store step by step, and ran to Zhang Yijun, his eyes were staring, and the moment he raised his right hand, Zhang Yijun probably recalled the memory of being pulled by his sister when he was a child, and couldn't help but subconsciously hide his face sideways, but finally turned his face straight.
Yi Xuan's right hand gently rubbed on Zhang Yijun's face a few times, and then the index finger and middle finger suddenly exerted force on Zhang Yijun's face, and twisted it fiercely on Zhang Yijun's cheeks, which were already decorated with some stubble, and a red fingerprint then faded, so painful that Zhang Yijun couldn't help blinking and moaning.
But when Zhang Yijun opened his eyes again, he saw that his sister's pair of water-cutting autumn eyes were filled with tears.
"Jun'er is out of breath, Meng Lang has been outside for three years, and you grandpa and sister don't even bother to send half a letter, right?"
Yi Xuan deliberately said this loudly, provoking the onlookers and diners in the store who understood the reunion of the sister and brother after a long absence. The eldest lady here used Zhang Yijun as a negative teaching material, teaching her own kid a lesson, saying "Look at it, this guy has been mixed for three years, but he can't even pay for food"; The old father over there pointed at Zhang Yijun, shook his head, and said in his mouth, "What a bad descendant!" "Yunyun.
But the shopkeeper was not moved by the scene of the sister and brother meeting, and there were annoyances in his mouth, staring at Yixuan, who was half a head of short Zhang Yijun, and said with annoyance: "You are this sister?" ”
When Yixuan heard this, he didn't take his eyes off Zhang Yijun's face, but just raised his voice and responded: "Exactly, I don't know what advice I have?" ”
Xu was embarrassed by Yi Xuan's inconspicuous behavior, and the shopkeeper knew that the woman didn't know the ins and outs, so he added fuel and vinegar with mockery, and said aggressively: "Brother Ling is such a big shelf, I have no money to eat, and I look like I'm poor and I am reasonable, and I don't take this Tang law in my eyes at all, so that I can't operate this small shop, as his sister, I will talk about it...... What to do? ”
Zhang Yijun was about to argue, but who knew that these words made the delicate-faced Yixuan glared angrily at the shopkeeper, "My brother will never do such a bad deed, don't talk nonsense!" How much is the cost of the meal, the child should pay it off, and please rest and entangle! ”
Yi Xuan's words, the shopkeeper was stunned, he was the only one who took advantage of others on weekdays, but today he didn't expect that the woman in front of him could knock herself back and forth. He was about to fight back, but he suddenly caught a glimpse of the beaded accessories hanging down from the full-breasted skirt that Yi Xuan was wearing, so he quickly swallowed back half of the sentence in his throat.
Because he knew in his heart that the woman who could wear this garment was either rich or noble, and was by no means a commoner.
The shopkeeper knew that it was difficult to find the field, so he raised his eyebrows and changed his words along the steps: "Brother Ling's meal money is a total of thirty yuan, and I hope to pay it in full!" ”
The original ten yuan of food money was insisted on being thirty yuan, which is obviously to kill people! Zhang Yijun was about to speak, but was once again preempted by his sister, "Okay, thirty dollars is thirty dollars!" Aye! ”
As soon as the words fell, a small servant outside the store hurriedly followed the store, carefully counted exactly thirty copper coins from the money bag, and handed them to the black-faced shopkeeper by Yi Xuan.
The shopkeeper carefully counted the money, knowing that it was cheap, so he snorted coldly and walked away. Seeing this, the passers-by who were watching around also lost interest, and said "scattered, scattered", and retreated like a tide for a while.
"Sister, why are you here?"
After being dragged out of Liqu by his sister and on the cross street, Zhang Yijun couldn't help but ask. Zhang Yijun knows that a few years ago, my sister married the son of Cui Xuan, a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and her family is big, and there are many people in the house.
Yixuan kept a straight face and did not respond, but just pulled Zhang Yijun to a cloth shop with fewer visitors. When the bored shopkeeper saw a customer, he hurriedly stood up and greeted him with a smile, but after realizing that the man and woman had no intention of spending, he sat back with some disappointment, and then focused on the ledger in front of him.
Zhang Yijun tied up the sa jade horse, leaving the maid to watch outside the store. As soon as the sister and brother entered the store, Yi Xuan turned around and stopped, looking Zhang Yi up and down carefully like an old tailor for a long time. Then, like Fang Cai, he grabbed Zhang Yijun's face with his right hand and pulled it out.
"Pain Hurts Pain ......"
"You know it hurts, why haven't you thought about not writing to your grandfather and your sister home for three years?" Yi Xuan let go of his hand, although his face was serious, his tone was not stern, but he was a little choked.
Zhang Yijun and his sister grew up together since childhood, in Zhang Yijun's memory, after the death of his mother, in addition to drinking all day, his father completely gave up on their sisters and brothers, and Yixuan took on the responsibility of taking care of Zhang Yijun.
After my sister got married a few years ago, the two of them were not so inseparable, but they would visit each other from time to time.
However, three years ago, after Zhang Yijun said goodbye to his family and left, he first went to Huazhou, and then followed Li Deyu to Xichuan, and the connection with his sister and family became a kite with a broken line.
"If it weren't for Grandpa's connections, he would have known that you went to Xichuan and became a staff member...... With the little bit of entanglement you brought, my sister almost thought you were starving to death, do you know? Yi Xuan said, his eyes were a little red, he raised his hand to cover his mouth, took a deep breath, and unconsciously glanced away.
In fact, Zhang Yijun was very wronged, he wanted to say that what he did in Xichuan was not an ordinary staff, but a hidden stake in Victoria, but he also knew that this identity must not be revealed to others, even if it was impossible for his family.
"Sister...... Jun'er was wrong......" Zhang Yijun rubbed his cheeks, looking ashamed.
Seeing that he didn't admit his mistakes since he was a child, and his stubborn brother rarely admitted his mistakes, Yi Xuan was also a little surprised, his complexion eased, and after a few breaths, Yi Xuan asked what was going on at the soup cake stall.
After Zhang Yijun told his sister about the ins and outs of the future and the fact that he had been cut off his money bag, Yixuan couldn't help but laugh, and then he leaned back and laughed.
"Hahaha, I also said that you had a good time, went out for three years, and finally came back not only the money was stolen, but also the shopkeeper taught a lesson."
"Sister, you are married, can you pay attention," Zhang Yijun glanced at the shopkeeper sitting inside, and found that the shopkeeper Xu was also amused when he heard Yixuan's schadenfreude, "And ...... Can you not pull my face at every turn like when I was a child? Like a woman......"
"Yo ......" Yi Xuan looked at his younger brother with a gentle smile when he heard this, "My family Jun'er went to the land of abundance, do you know what a woman is?" Come on, come on, tell your sister, what should a woman be like? ”
"Look at you, it's not too small, shouldn't it be ......"
"Sister!" Zhang Yijun realized what Yixuan was going to say, so he quickly interrupted, and brought up the initial question, which was regarded as changing the topic, "Then again, why are you in Xishi, sister?" ”
"My sister has been bored at home for a long time, and today is closed, and my lover has a banquet to go, so my sister will come here to breathe, and by the way, I will add some glass cups and the like......"
"How are Uncle Cui and Brother Tan doing lately?"
"My father-in-law and my sister-in-law are very good, don't worry," Yixuan said: "It's you, why did you do well in Xichuan's staff, and you came back?" Where do you go after that? ”
"Come back and do something...... Won't stay in Chang'an for long. Even though Zhang Yijun was very tired from the journey, he didn't forget that he didn't come back to Chang'an to save his relatives, so he kept it secretive.
I don't know if I noticed that Zhang Yijun was hiding something from him, Yixuan looked at Zhang Yijun's eyes for a long time, but he didn't say anything about it.
"After that...... Is Jun'er going home? Yixuan asked tentatively.
"No," Zhang Yijun looked away, "Jun'er is afraid that he will go directly to Wannian County......"
"Sixteen Mansion Yingwang Mansion?" Yixuan interrupted in a low voice, Zhang Yijun was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slightly. Yixuan pondered for a moment and sighed, "Jun'er, you may have forgotten that you were still young at that time, and after A-Niang passed away, A-Grandpa didn't always indulge in wine and meat all day long like he ...... now."
Yi Xuan wanted to say something more, but he stopped talking, and his tone was almost pleading: "You better go home first, Sister believes that even if you go to see King Ying, His Royal Highness will persuade you like this......"
Zhang Yijun was silent, his eyes flickering. At the end, he nodded slightly, which was considered an agreement.
Chang'an County, Guangdefang, Zhangfu.
Not corrected.
Guangdefang is close to the West Market, and the official residence of Jingzhao Mansion is located in the northwest corner of this square, and the land price is also rising. Zhang Yijun took Sa Yuqi and stood in front of the huge Zhangfu vermilion lacquer gate and stopped for a long time before finally making up his mind to stretch out his hand to the tiger's head shop on the door and knock lightly three times.
After Zhang Yijun was fifteen years old, he moved out of here with his sister and a few family members and moved to a slightly smaller business in Jinchangfang. Since then, as far as Zhang Yijun knows, his father has been living here alone, except for an elderly housekeeper and a few servants.
There are some dead leaves falling in front of the door, the courtyard wall is still the appearance in Zhang Yijun's memory, but it is also a little old, the branches of a few persimmon trees stretch out from the courtyard, and the winter season has already fallen off the leaves, which seems a little lonely.
Zhang Yijun waited left and right, but he still didn't wait for someone to open the door, so after knocking three more times, he simply pushed half of the door hard, and it turned out that there was no latch inside, so he easily pushed it open.
There was no one in front of the second gate.
Although there are some fallen leaves piled up in front of the house, the house is still clean, and I think it is because it is cleaned every day. Zhang Yijun led Sa Yuqi into the mansion, led through the second gate, and saw from a distance in the main hall, there was a person with his hands on his body, standing in the center with his back on his back, as if looking at a painting hanging on the wall to see God.
Zhang Yijun walked towards the main hall and recognized that the person was wearing the plain blue clothes that his father often wore in his impression.
Zhang Yijun let go of the reins, stood with his hands down, took a deep breath and said softly: "Grandpa, Jun'er is back......"
Who knew that the man's shoulders trembled when he heard this, as if he had just realized that there was someone behind him, he hurriedly turned around, and said with a little surprise: "If the contemptible person remembers correctly, he is still young and has not been crowned, and he has never married a wife, Your Excellency...... I'm afraid I'm mistaken. ”
Zhang Yijun also looked surprised, and hurriedly looked at the person he had never met, that person was thin, and the clothes he was wearing were indeed the usual clothes that his father always weared, but he looked quite young, so that he still had some childishness, as he said, I am afraid that he is not weak. A pair of wise eyes are full of talent, ruddy lips, and delicate temperament.
Zhang Yijun's mouth opened slightly for a long time before he hurriedly crossed his hands and saluted: "Dare to ask Your Excellency ......?" ”
The man respectfully crossed his hands, bowed and said, "Contemptible...... Huaizhou Li Shangyin. ”
