Chapter 671: The Bitterest Wine
Zheng Chang and Lu Shuang's life is not only not easy, it is like a year! This time, the Luoyang family was defeated on all fronts, and the two of them could not escape the blame, the good situation was actually committed by the Mo family, I don't know if the Mo family is too strong, or the two of them are too vegetable.
Zheng Family Courtyard.
Zheng Chang and Lu Shuang, the two brothers and sisters, faced each other and were silent.
"The Mo family is really evil!" Zheng Chang was lying on the chair with blank eyes, about the deeds of the Mo family, the whole Chang'an City knew that it was very evil, but they didn't expect that when they met the Mo family, they knew how tricky it was.
"Did the person who delivered the letter to Luoyang send out?" Lu Shuang is also like a mourner.
Zheng Chang nodded and said, "It has already been dispatched, if you hurry up, you should be able to reach Luoyang City tomorrow." ”
At present, from Chang'an City to Luoyang, only Mojia Village can come from day to night, and they obviously can no longer use the channels of Mojia Village, so it wastes a lot of time, and there is still a lot of snow on the road is clearing, which is very difficult to walk back and forth and cost more.
This is also a brick road, if it is a dirt road, if the snow melts and the ground is muddy, I am afraid that you will not be able to walk at all! If you want to send a message to Luoyang City, it is impossible to deliver it in three or five days.
"Hey!"
Lu Shuang sighed helplessly, the whole of Luoyang was looking forward to their information, if he knew the news of the failure, he would definitely be furious.
"It's all to blame Fang Er, how can we fail so miserably!" Zheng Chang thought of Fang's bereavement, and immediately gritted his teeth and said, Fang Er not only helped Mojia Village, but also extorted a large amount of ransom from them.
Lu Shuang said helplessly: "The Mo family has already prepared, even if there is no help from Fang Er, I am afraid that we will return in vain, unless we dare to make a big move." ”
I'm afraid that the big movement that Lu Shuang said will not be able to stop some people, and at that time, I am afraid that things will really make a big fuss.
Zheng Chang shuddered when he thought of this possibility, this is the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, if there is a big movement, even the Luoyang family may not be able to protect them.
"By the way, what about the money that Liu's account room swallowed?" Zheng Chang suddenly remembered and asked.
"Give it back to Mojia Village! At the same time, he sent a letter to Liu Jiaofang, asking him to be strict at the corners of his mouth, and not to say what he shouldn't say, otherwise no one would be able to save his family! Lu Shuang gritted his teeth and said, now that the situation is reversed, they have been caught by the Mo family, and they can only be at their mercy.
"Brother Lu, don't worry, this matter will definitely be done." Zheng Chang nodded and said, this is the usual method of the family, once something happens, only people will be in the tank, Liu Shufang is no longer allowed in Mojia Village, if he dares to bite again, his family will not survive.
After the two of them arranged the retreat, they breathed a sigh of relief, but when they thought of the upcoming punishment within the family, they couldn't help but worry for a while.
Suddenly, a commotion outside came into the living room, Zheng Chang was already in a bad mood, and when he heard this, he was furious and said: "Who is making a noise, drive me out!" ”
"Congratulations, young master! Great joy! Ignoring the angry Zheng Chang on his face, the housekeeper of the Zheng Mansion rushed in excitedly and said loudly.
Zheng Chang was suddenly confused and said: "Great joy, where is the great joy?" ”
The housekeeper of the Zheng Mansion said excitedly: "There is news from the palace that the young lady has entered the palace in the draft, and has been named Chonghua by His Majesty!" The edict has been issued, and the envoy will be sent to Xingyang."
"Sealed as a full-fledged flower?" Zheng Chang couldn't believe it, he was the last of the nine concubines, ranking thirteenth in the harem, lower than the prime minister in terms of official position, but higher than the six Shangshu, and from now on the Zheng family will also be a relative.
Zheng Chang suddenly felt joy descending from the sky, and the shadow that originally shrouded his head was suddenly swept away, he was Zheng Chonghua's own brother, who would dare to punish him, and even the status of the Zheng family would rise in Luoyang City.
Zheng Chang was excited in his heart, and the afterglow swept to Lu Shuang's face on the side, and suddenly looked embarrassed, he had been hiding the news of Zheng's draft from Lu Shuang, and couldn't help but say stupidly: "Brother Lu is really sorry, the little sister is very willful, and even the little brother can't persuade her to do anything." ”
Lu Shuang said with an expression on his face: "Brother Zheng doesn't need to say much, my marriage contract with the Zheng family has long been invalidated, and there is no relationship anymore, it is a great thing that she can be named Chonghua, and the younger brother should be happy for him." ”
Zheng Chang arched his hand with a look of shame and said, "Thank you Lu Shuang for your magnanimity." ”
"Since the Zheng family has a big happy event, then the little brother won't bother! Leave! Lu Shuang tried hard to control himself and staggered to his feet.
Zheng opened his mouth, he really couldn't say anything to keep it, as long as he arranged for the Lu family's subordinates: "Take good care of Brother Lu, if Brother Lu has any accidents, ask you!" ”
"Yes!"
The Lu family's subordinates took the order and hurriedly chased after Lu Shuang, who was about to walk out of the gate, and anyone could see that Lu Shuang's state was not right.
Lu Shuang walked on the street, saw the dazzling sun that he had not seen for a long time, the snow that kept dripping on both sides of the street, even if he was in the middle of the city, but his heart was endlessly desolate, even if someone looked at him unintentionally, he felt as if he was laughing at him again.
"I'm the biggest fool in the world!"
He not only lost to the Mo family, but now even the most beloved woman has been lost, when he saw the Zheng family for the first time, he recognized her, relying on the family relationship, this was engaged to the Zheng family who was less than fourteen, but was broken by the Mo family with the Hu family girl case.
When he learned that the Zheng family liked the Mo family, he did not hesitate to act as the vanguard of the encirclement and suppression of the Mo family, just to prove that he was stronger than the Mo family, but now when he learned that the Zheng family entered the palace and was named Chonghua, he found that his heart was weak, and when he faced the imperial power, he didn't even have the courage to resist.
"No wonder you don't like me, it seems that your choice is right!" Lu Shuang said bitterly.
"Young master, I'll go back later!" The Lu family said worriedly on the side.
"Go back? Go back to what? I'm going to drink! Lu Shuang laughed at himself, plunged into a restaurant, slapped a piece of silver directly on the table, and shouted loudly, "Xiao Er, bring me the best wine!" ”
"Howler! Sir! Xiao Er skillfully put away the silver, and said proudly: "It's right for the guest officer to come to my store, but there is a new crystal in Mojia Village in my store to relieve thousands of sorrows, this is a first-class good wine, and I got it because of the relationship." ”
When the Lu family heard this, they immediately shouted unpleasantly: "Don't want this, you want the wine in Shu!" ”
He naturally knew that his young master hated the Mo family the most, but anything that had anything to do with the Mo family could make the young master crazy.
Unexpectedly, Lu Shuang waved his hand and stopped him. "Nope! To relieve a thousand sorrows, a drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows, this young master is going to drink this so-called world's first wine today! ”
Soon, a bottle of crystal relief and exquisite dishes were served.
Lu Shuang opened the exquisite Relief Thousand Sorrows, took out two luminous glasses, poured them full, and drank them all, even the most mellow and best wine could not wash away the bitterness in his heart.
Hearing that his wife is marrying and drinking the opponent's wine, this is probably the most bitter wine in the world!
