Chapter 370: The Storm Knows Where It Came From

Although it was only the concubine who died and not the empress, the civil and military officials naturally stopped all their activities. The marriage is temporarily postponed, and the family members who are preparing to celebrate their birthdays sit down for a meal, even if they like singing, dancing and drama again, they have now stopped sitting in the study and reading books. Even some of the gentlemen in the noble family who play circus all day long are locked up in the family by the older generation. The nobles close to each family took turns to enter the palace to worship, and although they had back pain after a trip, they still had to hold on.

The Zhang family because Zhang You had just been promoted to the earl, originally wanted to have a banquet to celebrate, but because Zhang Qian mentioned it after the decree at that time, it was all saved as soon as it was celebrated, even if someone came to the door to give gifts, in addition to the close relatives and friends, they should refuse, and sure enough, soon after the news of the death of Wang Guifei came, Zhu Di, who was angry, sent down a lot of "misconduct" nobles in one breath, from reprimands to suspension of countless people, but the Zhang family was safe and sound.

On this day, because it was the seventh day of the princess of the princess, although the worship on the public face should only be attended by the emperor and the princess, and the crown prince who was still in Nanjing was sacrificed, but the princess and his wife still entered the palace together, and the Gu family and the Dongfang family were naturally indispensable. Therefore, in order to take care of this old lady who is nearly seventy years old, Li Yun and Zhao Fen followed to take care of her.

Du Juan is not a princess and uncle, and she doesn't have to go again after entering the palace to pay tribute after the first funeral, so now she is the only serious female family at home. Since the diagnosis of Youxi, even if she has always been healthy, the reaction to the joy is not light, so Feng Yuanming simply moved back from the Du family, and Xiao Wu stayed in front of him every step of the way, lest there be any damage. At this moment, seeing Xiao Wu snatching the box in her hand with a smile, she couldn't help but glance at her angrily.

"You don't mean you can't even eat plums, do you?"

"Miss, although pregnant women like to eat sour, it's not good to eat too much!"

Because of the scholarly family of the Du family, all the servants were not sold out of the contract, so when Du Juan got married that day, he did not have a family member, but Xiao Wu, who was free, insisted on following. And after passing through the door, she didn't distinguish anything from each other, and still had the autumn marks of Lingxi Amber. Today, because of the stability of the spirit rhino amber, the Gu family took the two of them into the palace, and at this time only autumn marks were left.

"Young grandma, don't take it seriously, this is a bad thing, I also heard my aunt at home say that you can't eat more plums. Didn't the young master once instruct a bunch of taboos? He said it all, this is not only for the good of the child in your belly, but also for your own good! ”

Rubbing his lower abdomen, which was not yet obvious, Du Juan saw Xiao Wu and Qiu Zhen singing and harmonizing, so he simply lowered his head and ignored them, but gradually he was cranky. When I was a child, I often longed for a brother or sister, but my father did not return for many years, and when my father came back to reunite with the family, my mother almost had no hope of having another child. Because she was afraid that the Du family would be extinct, her mother mentioned that she would take a concubine, but her father said that the heirs were destined, and only said that if he still had no children when he was in his fifties, he would choose one of his nephews to succeed. But when she was in her hometown for so many years, how could she have seen any kind-hearted people?

Others are not as good as their own, but Mrs. Wang almost lost half her life when she gave birth to a child over forty years, and her mother was older than Mrs. Wang, even if she really had it, wouldn't it be as dangerous?

"Young grandma, my in-laws are here!"

Hearing such a voice outside, Du Juan suddenly came back from his contemplation, and Xiao Wu stood up and rushed out of the door. After a while, her clear voice came from outside the door: "Miss, you are heavy, I will go to greet Mrs. on your behalf!" Autumn marks, take care of the young grandmother, don't bump into it! ”

"This girl, I'm not a porcelain doll that shatters when you touch it!"

Qiu Zhen smiled beside him, reached out and touched the tea cup on the table, and found that the tea was cold, so he hurriedly poured the residual tea and refilled a cup, and then went to bring another Bazhen carved lacquer box and placed it, and carefully changed a pair of kang chair cushions on the kang next to him. After doing this, she came behind Du Juan with a smile, reached out and gently pinched her shoulder for a while, because she said with a smile: "Young grandma, didn't the letter from my wife say that she wanted to return to Beijing before the year?" Why don't you talk to the young master and let him try to find a Beijing official for the master? Nowadays, in addition to the eldest master, no one in our family is in the capital, but the old man is in Nanjing, and it is not comfortable to be promoted. ”

"Do you think that the imperial court was opened by your young master, what kind of official do you want to be?" Du Juan knew that Qiu Zhen had always been a person with no scheming, so what to say, and after a joke, he explained, "Although the emperor is about to move the capital now, Ying Tian is fundamental after all, if the master is in a hurry to come back when he is promoted, the wind will not sound good." ”

However, Du Juan understood in his heart that his father-in-law Zhang Zhuo stayed in Nanjing more for the sake of Zhang Yue's reputation, and more to take care of some things that were not suitable for Beijing. The Fan Xiyan that Zhang Yue once mentioned is still recuperating in Nanjing. And the sugar that Zhang Zuo once got back has now become a must-have for rich and noble families, and even the last time Xiyu came to visit her on the order of Mrs. Wang, in addition to various supplements such as bird's nest white fungus ginseng, an extra packet of this so-called snow flake candy was added.

Suddenly, the silver-red curtain in front of the room was raised high, but it was Qiu who walked in first. She has always been a person who likes plain colors rather than luxury, so she only added a piece of indigo armor to her silk shirt. Seeing Du Juan standing up and stepping forward to salute, Qiu Shi hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, with an undisguised smile of relief on his face, but his eyes lingered on his daughter's lower abdomen for a while.

After the mother and daughter met, Du Juan let Qiu sit in the east, but he was not accompanied by the prime minister, but stepped forward to sit next to him. After taking the tea from Qiu Zhen and handing it over, she asked strangely, "Didn't my mother bring Chunying today?" ”

Qiu's face was still full of smiles, but when he heard this, his complexion gradually changed a little. glanced at Qiu Zhen and Xiao Wu, but she wanted to speak and stopped. The clever little five saw that something was wrong, and with a roll of his eyes, he pulled out the unknown autumn marks. When the curtain fell, after a long while, Qiu Shi sighed: "I came to see you today, and I have something to ask your thoughts." In the past two days, strange things have been going on at home, first a guard dog raised in the outer yard suddenly died, then Lao Liao, who went to buy it, broke his leg inexplicably, and then found an inexplicable pool of blood in the kitchen. The most outrageous thing is that this morning, a few posts written by your father last night were ripped to pieces. ”

Originally, he only thought it was a difficult family matter, but when he heard that it was such a grotesque thing, Du Juan gradually frowned. Sensing that her mother's hands were cold, she couldn't help but feel a beat in her heart, and hurriedly asked carefully. After pondering for a while, she asked again, "What did Dad say about this?" ”

"What else would your father say about that naturally cold-faced man?" Qiu, a person who has been singing and obeying her husband all her life, couldn't help but be a little helpless at this time, "It's not strange what your father said, there are no ghosts and gods in this world, most of them are made by people." If the perpetrators really have any evil intentions, they can't prevent it, so they simply let them toss. But he didn't want to think about it, this time it was the post that was torn, and what if Ming'er was broken? ”

Zhang Yue did things quickly this morning, and happened to come back for lunch at this time, and when he arrived outside the door, he suddenly heard the last sentence, so he opened the curtain and entered. Seeing that there were only mother-in-law Qiu and Du Juan in the house, and no one else knew where to go, he couldn't help but be a little strange, and asked, "What did my mother-in-law just say was broken, what kind of fold?" ”

Qiu Shi didn't expect to bump into Zhang Yue coming back in the middle of speaking, and remembered that her husband had told her not to say anything to Zhang Yue, and she immediately regretted it. She was going to vaguely divert the topic, but she is a sincere person, how can she withstand such a delicate temperament as Zhang Yue? So, after being turned around by Zhang Yue, it didn't take long for her to confide in the truth of the matter.

Knowing that the master and servant of the Du family have a strict family style, and it is definitely not a subordinate, Zhang Yue couldn't help but think of Du Zhen's ear and face when he went to the Du family last time. Although it has been many days, a sentence at that time suddenly jumped out. As soon as he thought of this possibility, his brows tightened and unfolded, unfolded and locked, and he couldn't help but scrutinize and scrutinize.

Since killing hundreds of people in Qingzhou in one fell swoop, the White Lotus Sect, which had once caused a lot of noise in the Shandong territory, suddenly died down, and the sect leader Tang Sai'er disappeared without a trace. That time, he was assassinated on the way and also attributed to the head of the White Lotus Sect, and as a result, Liu Zhong personally led his troops to suppress it, and the remnants of the White Lotus Sect who had no leader died and scattered. The Du family is not a well-guarded noble family, Yuan Fang was still stared at for a while, and after a few months, there was no movement and gradually withdrew. Now that more than a year has passed, there is a strange movement, could this really be the White Lotus Sect?

Although he couldn't figure it out, Zhang Yue didn't dare to slack off, so he found an excuse and went to the outer courtyard to find Hu Qi and explain the matter. After Hu Qi changed his clothes, he quietly went out and returned to his house, and he had to comfort his mother-in-law again. After lunch, Qiu Shi wanted to leave, so he had to excuse himself to go to the yamen to do errands, and personally sent it all the way to Dufu in Poplar Lane, and couldn't help but look around when he went out of the alley. He used to think that this place was a good place to settle down, but now he realized that this place is too secluded!

Not long after Zhang Yue galloped away with Zhao Hu and a few other entourages, two people came out of a small wine shop on the corner of the street. One of them, who was slightly thin, glanced in the direction of the smoke and dust, and then whispered to the person next to him: "Third sister, he has probably found out, should we still stay here?" ”

"After seeing what happened tonight, it's time for us to go." Tang Sai'er was wearing a green cloth jacket and black cloth shoes, like a scholar who came to take the exam for the Ministry of Rites. She didn't grit her teeth like Tang Qingshuang, and there was no expression on her face, "Although their master and apprentice are ruthless, you don't forget our purpose this time." If there were no princes and magnates, the world would be truly clean, and as for their so-called ruthlessness or butchers, they are just knives held by others. People have taken advantage of us, how can we not recover this account? I can't help but ask them to fight a river of blood! ”

Tang Qingshuang nodded reluctantly, and then snorted coldly: "I understand, the royal people are all the same dog!" ”
