Chapter Thirty-Eight: I Hope There Will Be an Afterlife, and I Will Meet You
The night in Bianliang is intoxicating, and it is easy to arouse nostalgia.
But listening to the sound of music coming from the mouths of the artists in the restaurant and teahouse outside the door of the house, the tune of the silk and bamboo orchestra, the sound of drinking freely, and the laughter of welcoming the Spring Festival, Zhang's tormented heart gradually died in this noise and bustle.
I saw that she had tears in her eyes at this time, took a basin in the courtyard, laboriously carried a bucket of hot soup, staggered to the house, invited her parents to sit in the high hall, and put the two basins at her parents' feet. Moving to take off his shoes and socks for his parents, the head of the sect saw this, sighed bitterly, and said, "Son! Don't be busy, stay with us tonight on Chinese New Year's Eve! ”
The father's cry made Zhang's tears silently slip down from his eyes, dripping into the wooden basin, causing ripples.
When the mother Li saw her daughter's appearance, her heart was sour, and she hurriedly reached out and pulled Zhang Jiaotou, but she heard Zhang Jiaotou sigh again, and silently looked at her filial daughter and gradually became distracted.
After washing for a while, Zhang wiped his parents' feet with a towel, and silently poured the water back into the bucket, and proposed to pour it. After cleaning up, he called out to Jin'er, the female envoy who was standing aside to hide her tears, and the two entered the room together. Zhang gently locked the door. Jin'er looked at the lady and still looked like this, she just wanted to persuade her, but she didn't know what to say, but in the past six months, the words of persuasion had already been exhausted. Since Lin Chong, the official was assigned, he has never seen his own young lady open his mouth, and he is like losing his voice.
At this time, I saw Zhang's in the wooden cabinet next to the bed, taking out a house deed plus a hundred taels of silver, and handing them over to Jin'er, the girl was taken aback when she saw this, and hurriedly shirked it, but Zhang's just didn't speak, a pair of eyes that were so numb that she couldn't see her joy and anger looked directly at the maid, and forced things into her hands. Jin'er had red eyes, so she had to accept it.
Seeing that she had accepted it, Zhang only exhaled softly as if the big thing had been done, closed his eyes, and did not move again. Seeing this, Jin'er retreated, took the deed and the one hundred taels of silver in her hand, and hurriedly looked for Zhang Jiaotou, the lady's behavior tonight was a little abnormal, which made her secretly vigilant.
Hearing the movement of the maid closing the door, Zhang opened his eyes, locked the door of the boudoir again, sat in front of the dresser and slowly combed his long hair, only to see the beautiful pear blossom reflected in the bronze mirror with rain, heartbroken. Looking at the letter of resignation placed in front of the stage, Zhang said the first sentence of the husband and wife in the past six months, "I hope there will be an afterlife, and I will meet you ......"
After saying that, Zhang turned around and moved out a chair, slowly stood up, threw the white silk that had been prepared on the beam, tied a dead knot, and slowly put it around his neck.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a slight sound from the window, Zhang listened, as if she hadn't heard it, at this time she was already like ashes, just said softly: "Official, I'll go first......", after speaking, he kicked the stool under his feet hard, and instantly the weight of his whole body hit her neck, but saw that Zhang was just stubborn and silent, silently enduring the most painful pain before bidding farewell to this tragic world.
At the moment of this 100,000 urgency, a white-clothed scholar was erecting the window, and the whole person turned into the house, and when he saw the scene of Zhang's hanging beam, he was shocked in his heart, and he couldn't care about it, so he hurriedly rolled to the ground, took out the sword in his arms, and prayed in his heart: "Don't mistake me with the sword!" According to the sword control feeling of following the old Taoist of western Hubei for more than ten years in his previous life, he threw the sword in the direction of Bai Aya.
Maybe it was due to sincerity, but seeing that the sword instantly cut a small hole in Bai Aya, and then the small flaw expanded infinitely under the heavy pressure, until the last could not bear the heavy burden, only to hear the slightest sound, the entire dead knot of Bai Aya turned into a straight line, and Zhang fell heavily to the ground, motionless.
Suddenly, the door was kicked open, and a half-old soldier rushed in with a gun, and when he saw his daughter's appearance, he screamed, "My son! Then he leaned over and stretched out his hand to investigate the side of his daughter's carotid artery, only to hear his daughter's cough sound, and the old soldier was relieved, got up and shouted, and was about to step forward to fight with the stranger who appeared in his daughter's boudoir.
"Zhang Jiaotou is slow, I have a letter from Lin Jiaotou!" Seeing this, Wang Lun hurriedly shouted.
The Zhang family, who was lying on the ground and dying, heard this, and hurriedly struggled to get up, and was about to step forward to get the letter, Wang Lun saw that Zhang's was fine, and his heart was settled, and he hurriedly took out the letter from his arms, and suddenly heard Zhang Jiaotou shouting, "Don't be fooled, it must be a trick of this guy!" ”
Wang Lun saw that this family was forced to be nervous by Gao Yanei, and he didn't even notice the action he had just saved people, he only regarded himself as a person sent by the palace marshal's mansion, and he didn't talk nonsense at the moment, just threw the letter over and fell straight to Zhang's feet.
The Zhang family hurriedly bent down to pick up the letter, hurriedly opened it, only saw the first line of words, tears fell, and said to Zhang Jiaotou: "Daddy, it's my husband's handwriting!" ”
Zhang Jiaotou just rested for a while, but still maintained a vigilant posture, Zhang hurriedly read the letter, and shouted: "Daddy, he ...... He was sent by my husband to pick me up! ”
Zhang Jiaotou looked Wang Lun up and down, hugged Wang Lun, said "Please wait", and took the letter in his daughter's hand to read, at this time Lin Chong's mother-in-law and the female envoy Jin'er hurriedly walked in, Li stepped forward to hug her daughter, and wept and said: "My hard-working child ......", the three women cried together, but saw Zhang's eyes lost, and muttered: "He hasn't forgotten me...... Didn't forget my ......."
Zhang Jiaotou read the letter from beginning to end, confirmed that it was his son-in-law's handwriting, and inserted the spear deep into the ground, which was quite similar to Lin Chong, and burned the letter on the candle flame, and then apologized to Wang Lun: "I don't know that it is the king of Jeju, there are many rudenesses, don't blame!" ”
Wang Lun saw that he was clever and so careful, so he arched his hand and said: "Those who don't know are not guilty, Zhang Jiaotou is still old and strong, and his majesty has not diminished!" ”
The sect leader smiled bitterly and said, "It's only called a joke for the leader, but it's really a joke for Gao Yu's family!" ”
Wang Lun smiled and said, "What my brother said in the letter, I don't know what Zhang Jiaotou is going to do?" ”
Before Zhang Jiaotou could answer, he heard Zhang's expression eagerly say, "I'll go with you!" ”
Wang Lun saw that he gave a salute to the Zhang family, called out to his sister-in-law, and looked at Zhang Jiaotou, the head of the family, waiting for him to express his position.
I only heard the bitter smile of the head of the sect, looked at the daughter with an anxious face, and then glanced at the Hun family who nodded again and again, and sighed and said: "I only have such a daughter, she is leaving, what is the meaning of my old couple staying in this Jingshi?" That's it, this time I waited for the whole family to go to your village and caused trouble for the king's leader! ”
"It's so good, I can finally give my brother a satisfactory explanation! Zhang Jiaotou, Lin Jiaotou is my brother, so your Excellency is my elder, what trouble is not troublesome, please don't see you in the future! Wang Lun smiled and arched his hand.
"Where do you dare to be? Don't trouble the boss in the future! So it bothered, but when do we leave? Zhang Jiaotou is also a cool person, and he has made up his mind, so he no longer hesitates.
"Only tonight, while the city gate is not closed, we will go out of the city overnight!" Wang Lundao.
Zhang Jiaotou nodded, then glanced at the Hun family, and asked her to clean up the softness, suddenly thought of something, and suddenly said: "The front yard of my house is guarded by people from the palace marshal's mansion, and I have to get rid of these nails first!" ”
Wang Lun said with a smile: "Don't worry, these people have been taken care of by me, and the head of the sect only cares about packing some luggage and going out of the city while the moonlight is good!" ”
Zhang Jiaotou nodded and thanked him, turned around and went to pack up his things, only to hear that Zhang held Jin'er's hand and said: "Jin'er, you have followed me and the officials for so many years, this time I don't want to ask you to take risks, now I am looking for officials, two houses in the capital, and all the belongings, have been given to you, find a good family in the future, and get married!" ”
That Jin'er wept when she saw it: "It's my blessing to meet Miss and the official, and the maid has no relatives, I just want to follow the lady to find the official, Miss, don't drive me away!" ”
I saw the two girls hugging their heads and crying, Wang Lun knew that this Jin'er was clever and quite affectionate, Lin Niangzi was in danger many times, and it was because of this girl that she turned the danger into a disaster, and immediately said: "Huge Tokyo, she is a woman, helpless, it is better to go with her sister-in-law, and said that Gao Yanei saw her sister-in-law gone, if this girl stayed, she would inevitably be embarrassed!" ”
Seeing this, Zhang wiped the tears on Jin'er's face and nodded lightly, Jin'er's girl burst into tears and smiled, and was overjoyed. Zhang lowered his head and tidied up the clothes on his body, and stepped forward to stretch his left arm to the right side, shook his left hand and right hand together in the crotch twice, and at the same time bowed his head slightly, squatted lightly, and made a blessing to Wang Lun, saying: "I am in a hurry, how rude, I hope my uncle is not strange!" My uncle came here from Shandong in spite of the hardships and dangers to pick me up and reunite with my husband, and the little woman was very grateful! After speaking, Yingying bowed down again, and Jin'er saw it on the side, and bowed down together.
Wang Lun hurriedly replied: "It's a trivial matter, it's not enough to worry about it, Brother Lin Chong and I hit it off at first sight, only his business is my little brother's business, sister-in-law don't be polite, just clean up the softness, let's go out of the city!" ”
Seeing this, Zhang got up and thanked him, and took the happy little girl Jin'er to clean up his things in the room.
At this time, Wang Lun walked to the window, made a move, Jiao Ting, Zhang San, Li Si and others who were waiting under the window all turned over and came in, Zhang San and Li Si because of Lu Zhishen's relationship, so they all recognized Lin Niangzi, stepped forward to salute, Zhang also remembered these two people, and talked a few words at the moment, but saw Jin'er covering his mouth with one hand and caressing his heart with the other, looking at a strong man with a big round head and no eyebrows, his eyes were frightened, Jiao Ting smiled, and stood behind Wang Lun without speaking.
At this moment, a lazy voice suddenly came from outside the front yard: "Lady, you can't let go of you during the New Year, so I'll come to see you, lady......"
