Chapter 126: The Untouchable Black Hand (2)
The Four Seasons Garden, a garden specially used for ornamentation, is the station of the Ming Society, and only Zhang Xiang can do it.
Zhao Hanyan said that he was a tyrannical thing.
With such a garden in Pingzhou City, I don't know how many yards of this size can be exchanged.
But Zhang Xiang laughed at this.
He has his own ideas, this garden is given for free anyway, and it is just a decoration to keep.
With the expansion of the scale of the Ming Society, the noisy place in Pingzhou City will be more eye-catching, which he does not want to see, the Ming Society is an important news agency that he has set up since its opening, and he has spent a lot of effort to build the whole institution, which should be hidden rather than noticed.
It is only more than ten miles away from Pingzhou City, in fact, it is not far, and the Ming Society was moved here, one to solve the problem of the expansion of the Ming Society, and the other can gradually hide it from the outside world.
And the most important thing is that there are many underground dark rooms in this garden, and the letter that Yang Li gave him before leaving is not only the two words 'take care' on the front, but also the structural drawings of the entire Four Seasons Garden on the back, which makes him clear to the entire Four Seasons Garden at a glance, and these underground dark rooms can be of great use in the future.
The couple stayed at the Four Seasons Garden until around the evening before driving back to Pingzhou City.
When the carriage passed through Yanliu Lane, Zhang Xiang saw the most eye-catching Yanyu Pavilion in that lane.
When I saw the Yanyu Pavilion, I also thought of Ning Xiangju.
With the departure of Liu Qingyin and Qin Elegy, these two green buildings have now lost their color, perhaps it is Liu Qingyin and Qin Elegy's pearl jade in front, in these (rì) children, these two green buildings have not yet been born new Oiran.
Zhang Xiang asked the coachman to stop for a while, then jumped out of the carriage, and told Zhao Hanyan in the car to let her go back first, he wanted to go.
Zhao Hanyan didn't ask anything, just nodded.
Yanliu Lane is the most dense alley of Pingzhou Qinglou, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a small building in five steps and a building in ten steps.
Walking in it at night, you can hear the small songs sung by the song (jì) coming from the building at any time, and you can also see the voices of the women with heavy makeup (jì) in the major green buildings at any time in front of the door to solicit guests.
Nanchu's Qinglou industry has actually risen with the economic prosperity in recent years, even if there are no Liu Qingyin and Qin Elegy, the two major Oiran, it still can't stop the men who enter the Qinglou at night to have fun.
When Zhang Xiang walked in, the hall on the first floor was overcrowded, and he found a maid who knew him and asked Cui's mother.
The maid nodded, told him to wait a moment, and then went upstairs.
After a while, Ning Xiangju's mother Cui trotted over and hurriedly saluted him: "Zhang Gongzi is here, and he is not welcomed, and I ask Zhang Gongzi to forgive his sins." ”
This Cui mother is the real shopkeeper of Ning Xiangju, and after Qin Elegy came, she bought this Cui mother with a lot of money, so this Cui mother knows that Qin Elegy is a person from the rivers and lakes (shēn), but she doesn't know that she is the Holy Maiden of the Snow God Sect.
Qin Elegy gave her money and gave her a free part-time job, the only condition was that she wanted a safe place (shēn) in Ning Xiangju, not to mention how happy Cui's mother was, she was naturally so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, so Qin Elegy was in Ning Xiangju's section (rì), and the only Cui mother who knew Qin Elegy's share did not reveal her origin.
Of course, in this way, this Cui's mother naturally doesn't know the relationship between Zhang Xiang and Qin Elegy, she only knows that Zhang Xiang is a colt, so she doesn't dare to slack off on Zhang Xiang at all.
Zhang Xiang proposed that he wanted to go to Qin Elegy's former boudoir to take a look, but Cui's mother agreed without saying a word.
Taking Zhang Xiang all the way upstairs, this Cui's mother said with a smile: "Zhang Gongzi, after Miss Qin left, Lao (shēn) didn't let her boudoir live in to others, it was still empty, this is the best boudoir in my Ning Xiangju, I don't have the ability to do Oiran, of course Lao (shēn) won't let others come in to live at will." ”
Just talking and talking, this Cui's mother sighed regretfully: "Alas, Miss Qin is gone, and I don't know which one will be the next one to live in this boudoir." ”
While speaking, Cui's mother also opened the door.
Zhang Xiang walked in, and all the furnishings in the room had not been touched, and it was spotless.
Behind the bead curtain, the guqin in the inner room was placed, and the previous Qin Elegy sat in front of this guqin and played a small song for him, and in the quiet room, it seemed to return (dàng) to the tactful singing of Qin Elegy.
"Zhang Gongzi, if you don't watch first, Lao (shēn) won't bother you." Na Cui's mother is very knowledgeable and wants to leave.
Zhang Xiang waved his hand: "No, I just take a look, I'll leave immediately, Ming Heng is here, in addition to wanting to take a look at this room, there is actually something I want to ask Cui's mother." ”
"Childe, please say, Lao (shēn) must know everything." Cui's mother was a little flattered.
Zhang Xiang turned his head and said with a smile: "When the elegy left, did you tell your mother, how could you send her a message?" ”
"Huh?" This Cui's mother was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly shook her head: "Back to Gongzi, Miss Qin didn't say anything, she just said goodbye to Lao (shēn) on the day she left, and didn't tell Lao (shēn) where she was going." ”
"Oh!" Zhang Xiang nodded: "You go down first!" I'll look at it for a while and I'll leave. ”
Cui's mother saluted respectfully, and then hurriedly closed the door and left.
Zhang Xiang sat down.
Qin Elegy has been away for so long, Zhang Xiang doesn't know if she has returned to Snow God Mountain safely, according to this Nizi's (xìng), she should reply to him.
But after so long, he didn't receive a reply from Qin Elegy to report his safety.
He didn't know how to send a message to Qin Elegy Flying Pigeon, so when he passed by Yanliu Lane just now, he thought of this Mother Cui and planned to ask.
As expected, it is impossible for this Cui's mother to know.
After sitting for a while, Zhang Xiang also got up (shēn) and left.
All the way through the corridor of the room, listening to the song of the warbler in each room, suddenly a door next to him opened, and someone came out and bumped into him.
The two looked at each other, and then they were both stunned.
"See the colt."
"Shoji?"
The person who bumped into him was none other than Yanagi Shoji.
The two said hello almost at the same time.
At this time, the door of the room where Liu came in and out was still open, and Zhang Xiang instinctively looked up and looked in.
In addition to a Qinglou woman, there is also an elegant scholar in his fifties.
That Liu Jin arched his hand in joy and said, "I didn't expect to meet a colt here." ”
"I'm just here to see a friend, and I'm about to leave!"
Zhang Xiang replied casually, and seemed to guess who the Qinglou woman in the room was, and joked with a smile: "The woman inside is Miss Cui?" ”
Liu Jin glanced back, then nodded to him and stretched out his hand: "If the horse is not in a hurry, can you go in and drink a glass of wine." ”
Zhang Xiang nodded and walked in.
Liu Jin smiled and said to the Qinglou woman and the elegant scholar in the house: "Yanyan, Mr. Kong, see the horse." ”
The Qinglou woman hurriedly knelt down, but the scholar just bent down and saluted.
"Miss Cui, get up, I've heard that Miss Qin said you a long time ago, but I've just come to Ning Xiangju many times, but I haven't seen it. Miss Cui was really born with the beauty of the country, no wonder Zhuang Zhi went to Bianjing to have such a (rì) son, and always thought about Miss Cui, now that the two of you can be a good couple, Miss Qin will be happy if she knows. Zhang Xiang motioned for Cui Yanyan to get up, and joked.
Cui Yanyan was a little shy and lowered her head: "In the past, Sister Qin took good care of the folk girls in the building, if there was no Miss Qin begging for her mother, the folk girls would have been kicked out of Ning Xiangju for a long time, and when Sister Qin left, the folk girls didn't have time to thank her and send them away, which made the folk girls feel very uncomfortable, if he had the opportunity, he would definitely thank Sister Qin in person for taking care of her in the building." ”
Zhang Xiang said: "What she appreciates is your sense of dedication to Zhuang Zhi (qíng), and she didn't expect to ask for your gratitude, so you don't have to worry about it, if you have a chance to meet her again in the future, let's talk about it!" ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiang looked at the middle-aged elegant scholar on the side.
Liu Jin introduced on the side: "Horse, this is Mr. Kong Fu Kong, the former governor of Guozijian Xuezheng, last year when Zhuang Zhi came to Pingzhou had a chance to get acquainted with Mr. Kong, Mr. Kong learned that Zhuang Zhi was going to Beijing to catch the examination, so he granted Zhuang Zhi some imperial examination teachings, so that Zhuang Zhi benefited a lot, last year to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination, but also to go all the way smoothly, Mr. Kong in Zhuang Zhi's heart, like a teacher. ”
"Mr. Kong is polite." Zhang Xiang bowed his hand to him.
Kong Fu hurriedly showed a modest look: "The horse is polite, Kong is now an idler, and he can't be Zhuang Zhi's teacher, it is Zhuang Zhi who has promoted Kong, and Kong is ashamed." ”
Zhang Xiang said with a smile: "Mr. Kong doesn't have to be modest, he can be appointed as the superintendent of the country, and his talent must be extraordinary, Zhuang Zhi is talented, but in terms of it, he is really not as good as Mr. Kong, and it is natural for him to call you a lifelong teacher." ”
"It's fair to say that Zhuang Zhi still has a lot to learn from Mr. Kong." Liu Jin also agreed, and then motioned for Cui Yanyan to pour wine for the two.
That Kong Fu lowered his head: "Zhuang Zhi's words are serious, on talent and learning, in this Pingzhou City, except for Mr. Su and Mr. Tan, there is really no one who can compare to the horse, the name of the horse is Pingzhou, and now I am afraid that it has long been famous in Southern Chu, respected by tens of millions of readers, I heard that the horse is also talking about books and learning with Mr. Su in Huating Academy, if the horse can guide Zhuang Zhi one or two, it is much stronger than Kong." ”
Zhang Xiang picked up the wine poured by Cui Yanyan and glanced at Kong Fu, wondering why this Kong Fu always avoided his gaze and looked restless.
He was sure that he had never met this Kong Fu, but why did this Kong Fu seem so afraid of him?
Is it because he's a colt?
Zhang Xiang shook his head, this is impossible, how could a scholar like Kong Fu be afraid of him because he was a concubine?
He hurriedly picked up another glass of wine and handed it to Kong Fu: "Mr. Kong, please." ”
"Thank you, colt." Kong Fu didn't raise his head, and then drank the wine with his head down.
It's just that after drinking, the Kong Fu suddenly stood up: "Don Ma, Zhuang Zhi, Kong remembered that there was still something important to deal with, so he didn't accompany him, and he left first." ”
After speaking, Kong Fu directly opened the door and walked out.
"Alas, Mr. Kong." Liu Jin was still stunned, and then chased out.
Zhang Xiang is also a second monk who is confused, and he can't eat people, why is Mr. Kong like this?
He shook his head speechlessly and drank from his glass.
After a while, Liu Jin came back dejected.
"What's wrong with this Mr. Kong?" Zhang Xiang asked him puzzled.
That Liu Jin also had a question mark in his head: "I didn't catch up, and the lower official didn't know, just now Mr. Kong had a good talk with the lower official, and I didn't hear him say that there was something, why did he suddenly have something, and he was in such a hurry." ”
Zhang Xiang thought, "I saw that this Mr. Kong seemed to be hostile to me (tǐng), and he didn't seem to like me very much, maybe it was because of me that he left in a hurry." ”
"How so?" Liu Jin was puzzled: "Did you know Mr. Kong in Pingzhou City before?" ”
Zhang Xiang shook his head: "I have never met him, this is the first time I have met." ”
"Then it's even more impossible, why is Mr. Kong hostile to the colt for no reason, is the colt misunderstood?" Liu Jin shook his head.
"That's how he gave me that feeling." Zhang Xiang thought about it, and then suddenly said, "By the way, do you know anything about this Mr. Kong?" ”
Liu Jin nodded: "I know something, when Mr. Kong met the lower officials last year, he said that he had served as the governor of the country, and was appointed by the imperial court to preside over the imperial examination. At that time, the lower official was still strange and asked him why he didn't continue to stay in Guozijian, but Mr. Kong didn't say anything at that time. Last year, when the official went to Bianjing to participate in the imperial examination, he also made a special effort to ask someone about it, and then he learned that Mr. Kong's son had died in the hands of the Northern Liao people in the Chongguan negotiations two years ago. ”
"I see."
Zhang Xiang was surprised and at the same time suddenly realized, in this way, it makes sense that this Kong Fu just showed that he didn't want to see him.
It seems that this Kong Fu, like the Kang family, was hostile to him because he felt that his father lost Liangzhou and caused all the Honglu Temple missions to die in the Chongguan negotiations.
Thinking about it this way, Zhang Xiang also couldn't say it.
He was also a victim.
He never felt that the death of the Honglu Temple mission had an indirect cause to his father's loss of Liangzhou.
The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband.
Anyone in Southern Chu has the responsibility to resist Northern Liao.
His father's failure to resist Northern Liao was his father's dereliction of duty, and his father was also appointed by the imperial court, so he was also saddled with this big black cauldron, did he have to blame the imperial court?
These Honglu Temple missions are also the people of Southern Chu, shouldn't they (tǐng) (shēn) come out when they encounter such a thing?
It was also the intention of the imperial court to let the Honglu Temple envoy go to negotiate, and the imperial court did not say (bī) that anyone went, and those who went were willing (qíng) to go, so could it be that his father was to blame for not holding Liangzhou when they all died? Why not blame the court?
Speaking of which, these people still can't find a point to vent in their hearts, so they rely on his father (shēn) for all these sins, anyway, his father is also carrying this pot, and it is nothing to shake off a little more, which can also make them feel a little more comfortable.
These people are really selfish enough, it is natural that his father died, and his father killed them when their family died, and he never thought about the reason for the imperial court, as well as the reason for the strong enemy of Northern Liao.
Not only the family members of the Honglu Temple mission think so, but everyone in the world also thinks so, all these people need is a pot to vent, if his father does not carry this pot, then all the scolding will be thrown on the head of the court, once the court loses the support of the people, it will shake the rule of the imperial power.
In fact, Zhang Xiang also understands the psychology of these people, the imperial power is supreme, no one dares to really blame the imperial court, since the imperial court pushed his father out, then all the dirty water can be poured on his father (shēn) justifiably, as for the real right and wrong, it no longer matters.
Sometimes thinking of this, it is what makes Zhang Xiang really angry, how can the bones of these people be so soft, so (jiàn), no one dares to say that the imperial court can't defeat Northern Liao, so it is the fault of the imperial court that Liangzhou was lost, and no one dares to really stand up and shout, kill all the Northern Liao barbarians, and return me to the Southern Chu River and Mountain.
They only dare to insult their father who has carried the black pot on their backs, because only in this way can their anger be appeased.
This is also the reason why Zhang Xiang felt worthless for his father, who had blessed the peace of Nanchu for so many years and protected a group of white-eyed wolves.
This Nan Chu is not his father's Nan Chu alone....

(This chapter is a bit unsatisfactory, because I am afraid of writing too much because of many factors, after all, this is actually due to my personal (qíng) experience, everyone has a different opinion on this matter, and I am only expressing my personal opinion.) I'm afraid that the writing is not clear enough, and it is difficult for people to resonate, so this chapter is written to not meet the expectations in my heart, and it is still a little bit closer, and a lot of private goods have been deleted in it, maybe it is also the reason for the pen power, I didn't fully write the meaning of what I thought in my heart, in fact, most of the things in these dramas (qíng) are down, and I can understand everything that can be understood. )
