Chapter 488: Chu Zong

After Zhang Zhaoyuan came to Shangtai, he soon found the Yang family.

After being rejected at the door, Zhang Zhaoyuan also had a relationship with Yang Liquan, he rented a room outside the Yang family's tea shop, and tried to get close to Yang Peiru all day long. However, in the face of the defense line built by the Yang family together, Zhang Zhaoyuan still couldn't attack.

You can't get in from the outside, but you can get out from the inside. Every once in a while, in the middle of the night, Yang Peiru always took advantage of the street to sleep and quietly slipped out to have a private meeting with Zhang Zhaoyuan. The relationship between the two heated up rapidly.

Finally, they eloped.

Zhang Zhaoyuan came out to study, and he still had a scholar with him, and when he eloped, Zhang Zhaoyuan ignored the scholar at all. The two hired a carriage and walked all the way east, but they did not know where to go.

Fortunately, when Zhang Zhaoyuan went out, he brought enough money, and Yang Peiru also took a handful of money when he eloped. The two of them didn't worry about eating and drinking.

The carriage came all the way to Guanzhong. Unfortunately, when they reached the vicinity of Chang'an, they were caught by officers and soldiers who were arresting Ding everywhere. Because Zhang Zhaoyuan usually exercises, his body is quite strong. Those who were soldiers took a fancy to Zhang Zhaoyuan at a glance. Captured him in the ranks of the construction of the Eastern Capital.

That's four or five years. In the meantime, the Zhang family and the Yang family also sent people to look for the two, but they could not be found. In addition, there are thieves on the road at this time, and it is extremely inconvenient to find them. After searching for a while, I finally gave up looking.

And Zhang Zhaoyuan also met the father of the Liu brothers in the process of building Luoyang. At the same time, Zhang Yunwen was born, and Zhang Yunwen's mother Yang Peiru also died of dystocia.

Later, the disheartened Zhang Zhaoyuan settled in Luoyang and lived next to the Liu family.

Due to long-term labor, Zhang Zhaoyuan's physical condition was extremely poor, and he finally passed away when Zhang Yunwen was eleven years old. And Zhang Yunwen was also raised by the Liu family.

This is what Zhang Yunwen did not know about his parents' experience. Not only him, but also Mrs. Chu in front of him didn't know. If Zhang Yunwen knew that his parents were like this, he would definitely sigh at the bad luck of the two.

After listening to Zhang Yunwen say that his mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to him, and his father also died early, this Mrs. Chu sobbed again, and whispered that her sister's life was too bitter.

And Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard that his father was actually from the Zhang family in Qinghe. Zhang Yunwen, Zhang Wenyun, I'm afraid I should be called Zhang Wenyun! In this way, he is still cousins with Zhang Wenqian and Zhang Wencong?

After Mrs. Chu's emotions were vented, Zhang Yunwen immediately led everyone to give Mrs. Chu a junior salute. Mrs. Chu hurriedly helped them up one by one.

After recognizing her relatives, the estrangement between Mrs. Chu and everyone gradually decreased. She was originally a long-sleeved person who was good at dancing, and she pulled Li Yu and others there to talk about the topic of her daughter's family, talked about current affairs with Zhang Yunwen, and greeted the Liu brothers with snacks. At the same time, he instructed his subordinates to prepare a banquet.

When Zhang Yunwen said that he wanted to relocate to a residence for the Chu family, Mrs. Chu shook her head: "Oh, Yunwen, you don't know your uncle, this person is as stubborn as a cow, if I accept your things, I am afraid that I will be scolded for a light time, and I will be suspended for heavy blame, so don't mention this matter again!" ”

Zhang Yunwen heard Mrs. Chu talk about Chu Yushi, and was curious to inquire about how Chu Yushi married her back then. When Mrs. Chu heard this, her face turned red, and she glanced at Zhang Yunwen angrily, but she still told her about herself.

It turned out that this Chu Yushi was just a down-and-out scholar from a poor family, and he also lived in Shangtai, but he was fond of tea by nature, and often frequented the tea shop opened by the Yang family. After coming and going, Chu Zong and the Yang family are very familiar with each other. is even more with this Yang Junru private life.

Later, Chu Zong went to Beijing to take the exam, and Yang Junru took out his private money to support it.

Later, Chu Zong won the Jinshi, and when he came back to Shangtai, he directly took Yang Junru through the door.

Compared with Zhang Yunwen's father and mother, although the marriage between Chu Zong and Yang Junru is not vigorous, it has a unique warmth in it.

After listening to Mrs. Chu's explanation, Li Yu and the others became envious. Childhood sweethearts, each other, such a harmonious couple is indeed enviable. Thinking of this, the three girls all glanced at Zhang Yunwen with resentment, and looked at Zhang Yunwen with a gruesome look.

Mrs. Chu has two sons and a daughter, among them, the eldest son has already started a family, and took a second-rate woman to run a restaurant in Jingyang. The second son is still at school age and is studying in Guozijian. The third daughter is less than ten years old, and she has a lively personality, quite similar to her mother when she was young, and I am afraid that she is playing outside at the moment.

Seeing that the sun was gradually sinking outside, Zhang Yunwen and the others were about to get up to say goodbye, but they were stopped by Mrs. Chu, saying that the banquet was almost ready, so how could they leave? Besides, when Zhang Yunwen found his relatives, he should naturally celebrate and stay for a while.

At this moment, Mrs. Chu's third daughter, Chu Yao, came home in a hurry. Before she entered the door, she opened her voice and shouted, "Mother, I'm back!" The carriage outside is so beautiful......"

Speaking of this, the little girl's voice stopped abruptly. Because she saw the many guests in the house.

Seeing that this girl was dirty, and there were a few mud marks on her red little face, Zhang Yunwen's heart couldn't help but feel a burst of childlike interest, he half-squatted down, looked at this Chu Yao, and said softly: "Are you Yao'er?" Come, call brother to listen! ”

Chu Yao raised her head, glanced at her mother suspiciously, and when she nodded, she immediately called out crisply: "Brother!" ”

Zhang Yunwen laughed and touched the little girl's double bun.

Now that Chu Yao is back, Chu Zong has almost changed back! Zhang Yunwen looked at the sky and thought to himself.

It wasn't long before the sound of horses' hooves was heard outside the door, and then a figure appeared by the door.

The person who came was wearing a green official uniform, and it was the palace servant Yu Shi, Chu Zong.

Chu Zong is about fifty years old, has three strands of beard, black hair, mixed with white hair, and does not look old.

As soon as he entered the door, Chu Zong saw Zhang Yunwen and the others, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he had no friendship with them, why did they come?

Although I am confused, the etiquette of the line must be done. However, just as he was about to salute, he saw Zhang Yunwen and others all performing a courtesy to meet their elders: "I've seen my uncle!" ”

As soon as he heard this title, Chu Zong couldn't help but be stunned. Uncle? Is he Zhang Yunwen's brother-in-law? raised his head and looked at Mrs. Chu with doubts.

Mrs. Chu pursed her lips and smiled, and stepped forward to explain. Chu Zong still couldn't believe that he actually had a nephew and a princess nephew who were the princes of the country.

Although Mrs. Chu had explained, Chu Zong was still a little uncomfortable. An awkward atmosphere permeated the room.

Seeing this situation, Mrs. Chu took Li Yu and the other three daughters away, leaving a group of men alone in the hall.

"Ahem, Lord Guogong......" Chu Zong began to find something to say.

"Uncle, let's call me Yunwen, what kind of country is not a country!" Zhang Yunwen hurriedly said.

"Good! Yunwen, the DPRK has been talking a lot about you recently! You didn't come to stop the monk from refining the elixir for His Majesty, but why did you still fuel his arrogance and send two Taoist priests who were alchemists to His Majesty to refine the elixir for His Majesty? Don't you know where there is an elixir of life since ancient times? Those pills and the like, it's all deceptive! When Chu Zong began to speak, he was still a little restrained, but when he talked about the affairs of the DPRK, he gradually became more energetic, and finally asked Zhang Yunwen. His eyes burned, and he wanted to burn Zhang Yunwen.

When the Liu brothers heard Chu Zong's call, they looked at each other, slowly retreated, and exited the hall all the way.

Zhang Yunwen pondered for a moment and decided not to tell the truth to this Chu Zong. This Chu Zong's heart is straightforward, I am afraid that he will say it, and it will be bad when the time comes.

At the moment, he said euphemistically: "I don't care about this matter, I have my own opinions!" Please rest assured, I am not the kind of person who does not know right and wrong, and this is sent to the side of the two alchemy masters, His Majesty, for the sake of the Tianzhu monks! ”

"Nonsense!" Chu Zong shouted angrily, "We are courtiers, and we should be loyal and dedicated to Your Majesty......"

However, before he finished speaking, a soft voice came: "Xianggong, why are you training people again!" It's the first time Yunwen has come to our house! ”

This voice was naturally made by Mrs. Chu. She walked into the hall and smiled at Zhang Yunwen: "Don't pay attention to him, he has this temper, what to say!" Come, the banquet is ready, let's take a seat! ”
